Abstract

The volume, texture, and chemistry of sediment deposited in a mill pond on the West Branch of the Wolf River at Neopit, Wis., Menominee Reservation, were studied in 2001-2002. The study was accomplished by examining General Land Office Survey Notes from 1854, establishing 12 transects through the mill pond, conducting soundings of the soft and hard bottom along each transect, and collecting core samples for preliminary screening of potential contaminants. Com­ bined information from transects, cores, and General Land Office Survey notes were used to reconstruct the pre-dam location of the West Branch of the Wolf River through the mill pond. Neopit Mill Pond contains approximately 253 acre-ft of organic-rich muck, on average about 1.2 ft thick, that was deposited after the dam was built. Elevated concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) associated with cre­ osote and pentachlorophenol were found in post-dam sediment samples collected from Neopit Mill Pond. Trace-element con­ centrations were at or near background concentrations. Further study and sampling are needed to identify the spatial extent and variability of the PAHs, pentachlorophenol, and other byprod­ ucts from wood preservatives.

Introduction

Neopit Mill Pond is located on the West Branch of the Wolf River at Neopit, Wis., Menominee Reservation (fig. 1). The dam for the mill pond was constructed in 1907 and the mill pond has been used in the past to store logs used in the Menom­ inee Enterprise, Inc. sawmill located on the northeast side of the pond. A severe storm in 1905 damaged about 40 million board ft of hardwood-hemlock west of Neopit along the West Branch (Milfred and others, 1967). An Act of 1906 allowed the Menominee Tribe to log the timber under supervision of Gov­ ernment experts, create lumber mills, and sell lumber (Milfred and others, 1967). The lumber mill and mill pond at Neopit were constructed soon after these events. At the time of this study, the future of the dam is not known, and there is some possibility that the dam may be removed or upgraded and the stream restored or rehabilitated. Knowledge of the volume and chemical characteristics of the impounded sediment are needed prior to the removal of the dam or stream restoration. A cooperative study between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin was done in 2001-2002 to estimate the volume, texture, and chem­ istry of sediment deposited in Neopit mill pond. The objectives of this study were to: (1) identify and describe the pre-dam channel of the West Branch of the Wolf River; (2) estimate the volume and describe the texture of post-dam sediment in Neopit Mill Pond; and (3) describe the chemistry of post-dam sediment in the mill pond.

Purpose and Scope

The purpose of this report is to describe the findings from the study of sedimentation and sediment chemistry of Neopit Mill Pond. This report presents the results of the analysis of General Land Office Survey Notes, an estimate of pre-dam channel planform through the pond, results from soundings and surveys, core descriptions, estimates of post-dam sediment

volume and weight, and results from preliminary screening of minor and trace elements and organic compounds in post-dam sediment.

Description of Study Area

Neopit Mill Pond is on the north side of Neopit, Wis., in the Menominee Indian Reservation. The pond has an area of 202 acres and a maximum depth of 10 ft. Two main tributaries enter the pond from the north (West Branch of the Wolf River) and the west (Little West Branch of the Wolf River). Neopit Mill Pond is surrounded by sandy glacial outwash and till and the topography is rolling to hilly (Milfred and others, 1967). Soils near the pond and in the watershed are composed of loams, sandy loams, and peat (Milfred and others, 1967). Vegetation in the watershed upstream of the pond mainly consists of northern hardwoods, hemlock-hardwoods, and swamp conifers (Milfred and others, 1967).

Study Methods

This study involved examining historical documents, surveying 12 transects in the mill pond, determining the pre- dam land surface through soundings, collecting several cores along the transects, and analyzing subsamples of cores for analysis of organic content, minor and trace elements, organic compounds, and radiometric dating. Data were collected from November 2001 through July 2002.

Review of Historical Documents

Copies of original General Land Office (GLO) Survey Notes were obtained from the State of Wisconsin, Board of Commissioners of Public Lands for two townships: Township 29 North, Range 14 East and Township 29 North, Range 13 East. Notes for both townships are from 1854.

Transect Surveying and Sediment Coring

Data from transect surveys and sediment coring pro­ vided quantitative information on sedimentation and sediment geochemistry. Twelve transects (fig. 1) were placed along the pond at a spacing of about 1,000 ft. Depths to soft and hard sediment were measured by use of a sounding pole in impounded areas. An auto level was used to extend the transect data from below the water surface along the shoreline of the pond. Each transect end was marked with a semi-perma­ nent marker such as rebar or pipe or painted trees. A "total sta­ tion" surveying level was used to determine the elevations of the markers at each transect end point. Transect elevation data were referenced to a Wisconsin Department of Transportation benchmark on the railroad bed at Neopit (the benchmark has an altitude of 1,068 ft based on the 1982 USGS 7.5-minute quadrangle map, fig. 2). A global positioning system was used to verify the location of each transect and core.

The thickness, texture, geochemistry, and age of sedi­ ment in the pond were examined in cores collected with two devices a geoprobe (2-in. diameter) and a piston corer (3-in. diameter). Ten cores were collected in March 2001 when the mill pond was frozen. The cores were examined in the field or at the USGS laboratory in Middleton, Wis. for color (Munsell Color, 1975), and field determination of texture was done by rubbing sediment between the fingers and use of the U.S. Department of Agriculture textural triangle (Soil Survey Staff, SCS, 1951). Samples were taken from a subset of side-by-side cores collected at sites 1,2, 6, and 7 for preliminary analysis of water content, organic matter, minor and trace elements, organic compounds, and radiometric dating at USGS labora­ tories. Subsamples and cores were chilled or frozen during transport from the mill pond to the USGS in Middleton, where they were immediately frozen and archived upon arrival.

Sediment Laboratory Analyses

Physical Characteristics

Physical characteristics measured included water content and organic matter content (loss on ignition) for two samples

Page 10: ZUSGSZUSGS science fora changing world Sedimentation and Sediment Chemistry, Neopit Mill Pond, Menominee Indian Reservation, Wisconsin, 2001 Prepared in cooperation with the Menominee

Pre-Dam Topography and Channel Characteristics 3

from core 1, one sample from core 2, and eight samples from core 7 (table Cl). Water and organic matter content were ana­ lyzed at the USGS laboratory in Middleton. Water content was measured by use of standard American Society for Testing and Materials Procedure D2216-92, except that sample sizes were less than 20 g wet weight due to the small sample size. Percent­ age dry weight was determined by measuring weight loss after24 hours at 105°C. Organic matter content was determined by weight loss after ashing at 550°C for 1 hour (methods described in Dean, 1974). Dry bulk density was calculated by use of the formula:

p = (D(2.5IX + 1.6CX ))/(D + (1-D) (2.5IX + 1.6CX)),(1)

where p is dry bulk density (g cm"3), x is depth in the core, D is the proportion dry weight of unit wet volume, I is inorganic proportion of dry material (assuming a density of

^

2.5 g cm ), and C is organic proportion of dry material

(assuming a density of 1.6 g cm"3).

Radiometric Age Dating

Radiometric age dating included the analysis of six samples for 210Pb, 137Cs, and 226Ra (table Dl). The 210Pb dating technique is based on the escape of radon from the Earth and the subsequent decay of this radioactive gas into 210Pb. This technique is most suitable for dating material up to a maximum age of about 150 years because the half-life of 210Pb is approximately 22 years (Olsson, 1986). To account for some of the variability associated with possible fluctuation in the sources of lead or inhomogeneous sediment, 226Ra also was analyzed in each of the samples. Optimally, samples from sed­ iment more than 150 years old are collected to measure local background concentrations of 210Pb supplied to the sediment from decay of uranium minerals (Olsson, 1986). 137Cs was first detected in 1945, and in 1954 the first increase occurred in the Northern Hemisphere, corresponding to increased nuclear weapon testing (Krishnaswami and Lal, 1978). In 1960 a minimum occurred, followed by a maximum in 1963. With the signing of the atmospheric nuclear test ban treaty, atmospheric contributions have dropped off substantially (Olsson, 1986).

1 "^"7

A date of 1963 is assigned to the sample with the highest Cs activity.

Minor and Trace Elements

Two samples from core 1 and one sample each from cores 2 and 7 were submitted to the USGS National Water- Quality Laboratory, Denver, Colo. for analyses of minor and trace elements in sediment (table El). The piston core tube was composed of Lexane and the geoprobe cores had plastic liners.

The cores were subsampled with plastic equipment and sam­ ples stored in plastic jars. Samples were not sieved. Samples were frozen prior to shipping. All elements except sulfur were analyzed by use of inductively coupled plasma-mass spec- trometry (Briggs and Meier, 1999). Sulfur was anaylzed by methods described in Jackson and others (1985) and Jackson and others (1987). Total digestions were done.

Organic Compounds

Four samples from core 1, two samples from core 2, and 1 sample from core 7 were analyzed for organic compounds at the USGS National Water-Quality Laboratory (tables Fl and F2). Compounds analyzed for included pesticides and metabo­ lites, semi-volatile organic substances, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), chlorinated and nonchlorinated phe­ nols, benzenes, ethanes, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), DOT and metabolites, phthalate esters, nitrosamines, and halomethanes. Subsamples were collected from the cores by use of stainless steel equipment and samples were stored in glass jars. Jars were frozen after subsampling. Samples were not sieved. Laboratory methodology is detailed in Fishman (1993), Foreman and others (1995), and Furlong and others (1996).

Quality Control

Quality control procedures included collecting duplicate cores and approximately 15 percent replicate samples for lab­ oratory analysis. Quality control measures at the USGS labo­ ratories included comparisons to standard reference materials, spikes, and duplicates (Pirkey and Glodt, 1998).

Pre-Dam Topography and Channel Characteristics

A combination of the 1854 GLO notes and transect and core data (figs. 1 and 3; tables A1-A12, B1-B10) were used to reconstruct the location of the West Branch of the Wolf River. Estimated planforms for the West Branch and its tributary, the Little West Branch, are shown on figure 2. Three section lines bisect the mill pond. There was generally good agreement between the location of the channel from the GLO notes and the lowest elevation for the hard bottom (interpreted to be channel bottom) found along transects nearest to the section lines (fig. 3). There are some potential alternative locations for the channel or possibility that the channel was braided or con­ tained islands. The presence of peat-like sediment in some of

Page 11: ZUSGSZUSGS science fora changing world Sedimentation and Sediment Chemistry, Neopit Mill Pond, Menominee Indian Reservation, Wisconsin, 2001 Prepared in cooperation with the Menominee

4 Sedimentation and Sediment Chemistry, Neopit Mill Pond, Menominee Indian Reservation, Wisconsin, 2001

the cores suggests that part of the mill pond was previously wetland or lowland, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact location of the channel, especially where the two tributaries join.

The GLO notes give some indication of the width, depth, and type of sediment in the pre-dam channel in 1854 observed along section lines (table 1). The West Branch of the Wolf River through the impounded section was about 46-66 ft wide, 1-2 ft deep, and most likely gravel bottom. The Little West Branch was about 40 ft wide and is noted as having rapid current and high banks near the upstream end of the mill pond along the section line between sections 24 and 19. Down­ stream of the mill pond, the West Branch of the Wolf River was 109 ft wide, 1-2 ft deep, and had a sandy bottom.

The altitude of the pre-dam channel bottom of the West Branch of the Wolf River ranged from about 1,038 ft near the location of the dam (transects 13 and 14), to 1,049 ft near the north side of the mill pond at transect 7 (figs. 3E, 3K, and 3L). The Little West Branch pre-dam channel bottom ranged from an altitude of about 1,043 ft at its confluence with the West Branch of the Wolf River near transect 9 to about 1,046 ft near the west end of the mill pond at transect 2. The value of 1,046 ft for the west end is uncertain because of the lack of core data from transects 2 and 3. The hard bottom altitude for these transects can be used as an approximate indicator of the pre-dam topography because the sounding pole penetrated the pre-dam peat deposits that were present in this area, as shown in core 7 from transect 4.

Post-Dam Sedimentation

Figure 4 shows the estimated thickness of post-dam sediment at each of the core locations. Post-dam sediment is composed of organic-rich muck with or without wood pieces. Characteristics of the pre- and post-dam deposits at each core location are shown along the transects in figures 3A-L. A common stratigraphic sequence of the deposits is about 1 ft of organic-rich muck with large wood pieces near the base of the unit, underlain by pre-dam deposits of peat, sand, or sand and gravel. Large wood pieces were most prevalent in cores nearest to the lumber mill. The pre-dam peat deposit is thickest toward the western side of the pond near core 7.

The presence of wood pieces in loamy sand sometimes found below the organic muck in cores 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, and 10 was somewhat confusing because the sand is interpreted to have been deposited before the mill pond and lumber mill were constructed. The wood found in sandy deposits below the organic-rich muck may be related to the 1905 storm and

related damaged timber in the West Branch drainage basin but also may be related to earlier logging, log drives, or older storms. Buried A horizons were also identified in cores 2 and 10 and likely represent old flood-plain surfaces. It is likely that during floods some of the organic-rich muck was eroded in the narrow reach of the pond upstream of the dam (for example transects 12, 13, and 14).

As stated in the previous section, the hard bottom alti­ tudes based on soundings are sometimes deeper than inter­ preted pre-dam land surface based on core data (fig. 3). The sounding pole tended to extend into pre-dam deposits if they were composed of peat or loamy, organic-rich sand. However, sometimes the sounding pole would stop because of the pres­ ence of large wood pieces typically found at the base of the post-dam sediment, associated with debris coming off of the logs as they were stored in the mill pond prior to use at the lumber mill. The sounding pole correctly marked the altitude of the pre-dam surface if the muck was directly underlain by sand and gravel, such as in cores 4 and 5.

Cores collected in shallow water (cores 4 and 7) showed some disagreement between the top of sediment as measured by coring (February and March 2001) and that determined from sounding (summer 2001). It is thought that this is because the water was shallow enough that the entire water column was frozen down to the soft bottom. This means that there was potential for some of the top of the core to be lost from augering a hole in the ice.

The results from analysis of 210Pb, 137Cs, and 226Ra for samples from core 7 were not helpful for determining sedi­ mentation rates in the mill pond (table Dl). The lack of a Cs peak most likely indicates that the sediment at this site possi­ bly was subjected to mixing by wave action or bioturbation. Also, it is not known how much water levels varied in the mill pond historically.

A very rough estimate of the volume and weight of organic-rich muck associated with post-dam sedimentation can be made by averaging the depth of post-dam sediment at each transect (based mainly on the core data) and multiplying it by the average width of each transect and the length of mill pond that it represents (table 2). Dry bulk density of the organic-rich muck is estimated to be about 6.9 lbs/ft3 based on the average of bulk density calculated from subsamples (table Cl). The bulk density is quite low because of the high water content of the muck (generally about 90 percent) and substan­ tial amount of organic matter (34-58 percent) (table Cl). The sum of areas calculated for each transect is 211 acres, in close approximation to the listed size of 202 acres by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The mill pond is estimated to contain about 253 acre-ft (408,700 yds3 or 38,000 tons) of post-dam related sediment. This estimate could be further

Sediment Chemistry 5

refined by collecting additional core data and refining the sounding techniques to only penetrate the organic-rich muck.

Sediment Chemistry

A small set of archived subsamples (four samples from three cores for analysis of minor and trace elements and seven samples from three cores for analysis of organic compounds) was submitted for laboratory analysis of minor and trace ele­ ments and synthetic organic chemicals for preliminary identi­ fication of potential contaminants in the impounded sediment. The results from these analyses do not represent a complete range of concentrations of potential contaminants within Neo- pit Mill Pond. Instead, they are useful for preliminary screen­ ing and to help guide future sediment-chemistry sampling.

Minor and Trace Elements

Concentrations of the minor and trace-element in organic- rich muck (post-dam sediment) from Neopit Mill Pond were generally within the range of concentrations observed for stre- ambed sediment samples collected from eight sites along the Wolf River and its tributaries, although there are a few excep­ tions (Scudder and others, 1997; Gam and others, 2001). Table El contains a comparison of element concentrations in Neopit Mill Pond and other Wolf River tributaries, as well as consensus-based sediment guidelines for aquatic life (thresh­ old and probable effects concentrations, TEC and PEC, respec­ tively) for arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mer­ cury, nickel, and zinc (MacDonald and others, 2000). Concentrations of arsenic, copper, mercury, and nickel in all Neopit Mill Pond sediment samples were within the concentra­ tion range for Wolf River streambed sediment and below the TECs. Cadmium and zinc concentrations were slightly higher in Neopit Mill Pond than in Wolf River streambed sediment, and two samples (core 1 and core 7) had concentrations just above the TEC. A chromium concentration from a core 7 sample was above the range of concentrations from Wolf River streambed sediment and above the TEC. Lead concentrations were within the range of concentrations from Wolf River stre­ ambed sediment, but one sample from core 1 was above the lead TEC. All sediment concentrations were below the PECs for the same eight elements.

Organic Compounds

Several organic compounds were detected in Neopit Mill Pond (table Fl). Table F2 contains the list of organic

compounds that were analyzed for but not detected in the Neo­ pit Mill-Pond samples. Unlike minor and trace elements, these compounds were not analyzed previously by the USGS for streambed sediment at other sites in the Wolf River basin. The minimum reporting limits for some of the compounds are high because the sample size was smaller than the optimum sample size required by the laboratory (for example, fluorene). Detected concentrations are given as estimates if sample size was smaller than that required by the laboratory to meet quality-assurance guidelines.

Several of the organic compounds have sediment quality guidelines for aquatic life (Washington State, 1991; Persaud and others, 1993; Canadian Council of Ministers of the Envi­ ronment, 1999; MacDonald and others, 2000; Janisch and oth­ ers, 2002). The TECs and PECs for these compounds are listed in table 3. Janisch and others (2002) contains a compendium of TECs and PECs for PAHs and other organic compounds that are used to assess sediment quality in Wisconsin lakes and streams based on previous studies by Washington State (1991), Persaud and others (1993), Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (1999), and MacDonald and others (2000). In order to compare organic compounds to the TECs and PECs on a common basis, compound concentrations shown in table 3 are normalized to 1 percent total organic carbon. Samples from Neopit Mill Pond ranged from 18 to 29 percent organic carbon, which has a significant effect on lowering the normal­ ized concentrations (and potential toxicity) of some of the organic compounds to values below TECs and PECs.

Concentrations of four organic compounds in sediment were above the consensus-based sediment quality guidelines for aquatic life (table 3). Concentrations of acenapthene and acenapthylene were above the TEC in samples from cores 1 and 2. One sample from core 1 had a napthalene concentration slightly above the TEC. This same sample from core 1 had concentrations of pentachlorophenol almost twice that of the draft Wisconsin PEC from Janisch and others (2002). This sample came from the core interval of 0.50-0.55 ft, or an actual depth of 1.06-1.22 ft when corrected with core recovery ratio, and also contained the highest concentrations of acenaphthene, acenaphthylene, anthracene, benz[a]anthracene, benzo[a]pyrene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, benzo[ghi]perylene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, carbazole, chrysene, fluoranthene, indeno[l,2,3-cd]pyrene, naphthalene, phenanthrene, bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, and di-n-butyl phthalate (table Fl). Although no sediment guidelines are available, p-cresol concentrations in the bottom of core 2 were over twice the concentrations in core 1 and the top of core 2, and in core 7 p-cresol concentrations were over 10 times higher than in core 1 (table Fl).

6 Sedimentation and Sediment Chemistry, Neopit Mill Pond, Menominee Indian Reservation, Wisconsin, 2001

Most of the organic compounds detected in sediment from the pond are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and are found, along with a number of other organic com­ pounds, in creosote, a common wood preservative (Awata and others, 1998; Brooks, 2000). Creosote is a distillate derived from coal tar produced by the carbonization of coal, and con­ sists of at least 160 liquid and solid aromatic hydrocarbon compounds (Brooks, 2000). PAHs are also are released during forest fires and home wood burning and may be naturally found in high concentrations in peat. When released to water, many PAHs readily sorb to particulate matter and dissolved organic matter (Awata and others, 1998). The environmental fate of the compounds is determined by rates of adsorption, volatilization, and biodegradation. Some are carcinogenic, are listed by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) as toxic hazardous waste, and may bioaccumulate in aquatic life. Some studies have shown that aquatic life and ani­ mals (including humans) may rapidly metabolize or excrete PAHs, thus confounding the relations between more persistent PAHs and biomagnification through the food chain (Brooks, 2000). Concentrations of the PAHs associated with wood pre­ servatives and burning would be expected to be highest in cores 1 and 2 near the lumber mill, because historically, wood preservatives were used at the lumber mill and the mill cur­ rently burns wood. It is not known why a sample from core 7 had higher concentrations of p-cresol than samples from cores 1 and 2.

Pentachlorophenol (penta) is another commonly used wood preservative that was used at the Neopit lumber mill in the 1970s. It is not thought to occur naturally (Brooks, 2000). Penta may be dissolved in water or sorb onto particulate mat­ ter. It degrades through chemical, microbiological, and photo­ chemical processes, thus the ultimate fate, toxicity, and bioac- cumulation potential are highly dependent on local physical, chemical, and biological conditions. The complex processes involved in the persistence of penta in sediment may be why only one sample from this study contained detectable concen­ trations of the preservative, and why it had elevated concentra­ tions. Alternatively, this sampled interval may represent the period when penta was used at the lumber mill. There seems to be more complexity to the spatial distribution of penta com­ pared to the distribution of PAHs detected in sediment from the mill pond. Dioxins and furans have been found in dis­ charges from other wood treatment facilities that used penta (Janisch and others, 2002). Samples were not analyzed for dioxin and furans in this study.

Additional analyses of organic compounds in sediment from Neopit Mill Pond are needed to better determine the spatial extent and concentration of PAHs, penta, and possibly other contaminants and byproducts that are associated with

wood preservatives. The possible occurrence of dioxin and furans needs investigation. The potential transport of organic compounds to the water column and aquatic life also needs investigation and fish tissue should be analyzed. It would also be helpful to have more information on the history of the wood preservatives used at the lumber mill.

Conclusions

The following conclusions can be made from this study of sedimentation and sediment chemistry at Neopit Mill Pond:

Combined information from transects, cores, and General Land Office Survey Notes were useful for reconstructing the pre-dam location of the West Branch of the Wolf River through Neopit Mill Pond. The probable pre-dam location of the channel was mapped by use of a combination of the above three sources of data. Core data indicated that pole soundings overestimated the depth to the pre-dam land surface (hard bottom) if pre-dam deposits were composed of peat or loamy sand.

Approximately 253 acre-ft (408,700 yds3) of sediment have been deposited in Neopit Mill Pond after the dam was constructed in 1907. Post-dam sediment is composed of organic-rich muck, on average about 1.2 ft thick. Post-dam sediment has a water content of about 79-93 percent and an organic matter content of about 35-58 percent. The mill pond contains about 38,000 tons (dry weight) of post-dam sediment. Large pieces of wood are abundant in the sedi­ ment, especially near the dam and lumber mill.

Elevated concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocar­ bons (PAHs) associated with creosote and pentachlo- rophenol (both commonly used wood preservatives) were found in samples from three cores from Neopit Mill Pond. Trace-element concentrations were at or near background concentrations.

Further study is needed to identify the spatial extent and variability of the PAHs, pentachlorophenol, and other byproducts from wood preservatives. Potential effects of these contaminants on the water column and aquatic life need more investigation to guide future restoration efforts.
