Project Background
The original scope of the project included planning, design, and construction of repairs to the Mill Pond dam and drain structure. Required improvements include re-establishing a functioning drainage structure and piping system to enable draining the Mill Pond impoundment. Other requirements of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) inspection, such as vegetation removal and establishing a survey benchmark have been completed.
In December 2021, the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC) released its Restoration Plan for the Oak Creek Watershed(External link) report. As part of this report, SEWRPC presented several alternatives for the future of Mill Pond and the Mill Pond Dam. To better evaluate these alternatives and prior to any work on the dam structure, an investigation was performed to characterize the sediments within Mill Pond. Results of the sampling indicated that sediments were impacted, and if removed or dredged from Mill Pond would require proper disposal offsite. Permitting would also be required for any dewatering activities. Please see the alternatives that were presented to the County's Committee on Parks and Culture as part of an informational report. PowerPoint Presentation (legistar.com)(External link)
Public Engagement
Milwaukee County Parks undertook a public engagement campaign in 2024-25 to assess community input of these alternatives prior to expending capital funding to replace/repair the sluice gate in-kind. As part of the campaign, a survey was conducted to gain valuable insight regarding the users of the Mill Pond, their values when it comes to the Pond, and their preferred activities when utilizing the Mill Pond area. The survey garnered over 800 responses.
Two Public Information Meetings (PIMs) were held for the project. The first meeting took place on December 3, 2024, and focused on presenting the project scope and the three remaining alternatives. Nearly 100 community members attended.
The second meeting was held on February 12, 2025, with approximately 50 attendees. This session shared the results of the community survey, presented the two remaining alternatives, and provided a cost breakdown. The remaining two alternatives and survey results are presented below.
Next Steps
Next steps for the project will be to target project objectives to meet community input including environmental cleanup, passive recreation, and resource appreciation. Coordination will take place with potential grant funders, and pre-proposals will be prepared to gauge funding potential. Work will also take place to refine total disposal costs for contaminated sediment, as well as long-term maintenance for a proposed solution.
Please check this project page for more updates as the project progresses.

Ресурсы для взрослых могут выступать каналом сексуального образования, содействуя пользователям осознавать собственную природу. Они позволяют изучать разнообразие подходов в защищённом пространстве, снижая опасность реальных последствий. В отношениях совместный интерес способен усиливать доверие и служить основанием для честного диалога о фантазиях и границах. фото куни

Unfair slaughter of trapped by the dam game fish. Huge increase of big game fish anglers. Canadian license plates Illinois, Minnesota and states far beyond love this little trap where these fish are easy game. Let the fish travel up the oak Creek as they have always done remove the damn and make the anglers work for their quota for a change.

Exploring places like Mill Pond shows how valuable well-maintained natural parks are for communities. Clean water, safe trails, and preserved ecosystems make outdoor spaces more enjoyable and accessible for families and visitors. Maintaining these environments often requires responsible maintenance practices and reliable solutions, which is one reason I pay attention to services offering https://brodychemical.com/ designed for professional and safe use. Proper treatment methods help protect public spaces while supporting sustainability goals. Enjoying peaceful parks and recreational areas reminds me how important it is to combine environmental care with effective maintenance strategies that keep these beautiful locations safe for everyone year-round.

Creative photography often focuses on revealing the harmony of the human form. It is about light rather than surface. Skilled photographers use subtle contrasts to reflect mood. Such images capture artistry and individuality. https://xnudes.ai/ Every frame aims to evoke feelings through pose. The purpose is to portray inner grace in an artful way. Observers often admire such work for its depth. This style of photography unites emotion and sensitivity into something truly timeless.

I had an even better response to the one I last left. Your survey if I remember correctly, was based on how we use the mill pond now and not how we would use it if these modifications were made. No one uses the mill pond for anything now other than to express regrets , except a few sad fishermen who are only going to catch either nothing or a chub. Very sad!
That is why I say plan B, restore the Lagoon to what it was. Make it another one of the focal point in the County Parks. It can be used year round. Sight seeing with paths completely around it. Fishing with trout and other game fish stocking, with platforms, more benches for sitting all around. A workable warming shelter with food and beer served sitting areas. Add more lights and have ice skating. Yes I know there is a cost for all of this, but really the parks are a wonderful thing! I would rather pay more in taxes then having a 22% increase in my water bill pushed down our throats with no say!
