James D. Blount Heidi M. Broerman Faith A. Fitzpatrick Issac J. Mevis 20250822 tabular digital data https://doi.org/10.5066/P14GHNMV This dataset contains the results of 15 rapid geomorphic assessments (RGAs) completed August 2022. The data were used in the development of a stream corridor sediment budget to assess the extent of bank erosion and bed deposition in the Upper East River watershed. Included in this data release are 13 Comma Separated Value (.CSV) files for geomorphic and habitat field data, estimates of annual bank erosion and bed deposition of sediment and sediment-bound phosphorus to be used in the sediment budget analysis, photos of assessment site transects and a text (.TXT) file documenting photo names and general descriptions, and scans of the original field forms. The East River is an agricultural tributary to the Lower Fox River and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Green Bay Area of Concern (AOC) in northeast Wisconsin. This tributary has known excessive phosphorus (P) and suspended sediment loads that contribute to habitat related impairments and downstream algal blooms. As part of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI), the U.S. Geological Survey conducted a stream corridor sediment budget study to estimate the spatial distribution of near-channel erosion and in-channel deposition of sediment and sediment-bound P. The Upper East River watershed is largely located in southern Brown County, with some headwater streams in northern Calumet and Manitowoc counties. In August 2022, rapid geomorphic assessments (RGAs) were completed in 15 stream reaches throughout the watershed to assess streambank erosion and streambed deposition. Additionally, samples of streambank and soft, bed sediment were collected in the reaches and analyzed for total phosphorus concentrations and particle size. The results of these field-based assessment and sample analyses were used to estimate annual streambank erosion and volume of soft sediment streambed deposition within each reach. 20220804 20220811 ground condition Complete None planned -88.1590 -88.0256 44.3872 44.2238 ISO 19115 Topic Category geoscientificInformation None geomorphology erosion geoscientificinformation sedimentation sediment transport rapid geomorphic assessment RGA USGS Metadata Identifier USGS:66a40d55d34ef465b8822529 Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) Wisconsin Green Bay United States North America Great Lakes Lake Michigan Fox River None.

The erosion field data and calculations can be found in the 05_BankErosion.csv file. Values from the BkEr_Cat were used to estimate the annual volume of bank erosion (BkEr_m3_yr column) based on the lateral recession rates described in NRCS Wisconsin Field Office Technical Guide (2015). The bank stratigraphy descriptions in the BankStratigraphy column, eroding bank heights (BkEr_Ht_m column), and the identification of valley sides and terraces (ValleySide_Terrace_Bank column) were used to estimate associated bulk densities (BkEr_Rho_kg_m3 column) described in NRCS Wisconsin Field Office Technical Guide (2015). Values of the estimated mass of annual streambank erosion in each reach can be found in the Rch_BkEr_Mg_yr column of the 06_BankErosionAssignment.csv file.
