Modifications were made to the boundaries to show correct drainage to Lake Winnebago and to the Lower Fox River Basin. The watershed's land area is almost entirely within Winnebago County with the remaining small percent in Calumet County. The watershed also includes the cities of Neenah, Menasha and the southern edge of Appleton. Many industrial and municipal dischargers are located within the basin.
Agriculture is the predominant land use in the outlying areas of the watershed.
Many of the unnamed streams have been ditched and are heavily impacted by stormwater runoff. Silt and nutrients comprise the most abundant pollutants in this watershed. The major river channels are affected by siltation, which reduces the fish habitat and increases the severity of flooding. Remediation efforts are ongoing to remove the PCBs from the system. Refer to the Little Lake Butte des Morts narrative for detailed information on the remediation process.
