The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has named 240 new waterways as impaired, which means they need plans for reducing pollution. The DNR said of those, 183 of them are lakes or river stretches that exceed more restrictive phosphorous standards that took effect in December 2010. More than a dozen Fond du Lac County impaired waterways are listed as high priority including the Fond du lac River and Lake Winnebago. In Dodge County, Lake Emily is listed as a high priority. The 240 impaired waterways may be eligible for state and federal cleanup money. A complete list of impaired waterways can be found on the DNR website.
