ixteen local groups have won a funding award from Sweet Water to boost stormwater mitigation and green infrastructure in Southeastern Wisconsin. A request for proposals was announced by Sweet Water in September, 2012 with a submission deadline of November 1. The 2012 mini-grants had an award maximum of $5,000 a $1,000 increase over the maximum amount for the 2011 awards. Twenty-four applications were submitted. Although many of the submissions were worthy projects, our funding could cover 16 of them. The aim of the Water Quality Mini-Grant Program is to support local, grassroots efforts that employ green infrastructure practices and activities that will improve water quality, enhance conservation, restore habitat or educate people about these issues and associated stewardship actions. The awardees include a diversity of organizations and projects, and notably, a diversity of watersheds. The awarded projects are sited in all five of the watersheds and Lake Michigan in which Sweet Water advocates for improved water quality.

Reflections on Sweet Waters 2012 Accomplishments

JEFF maRTINka, sWEET WaTER

weet Waters regional partnership to improve the water quality in the five watersheds in the Greater Milwaukee area is now officially three years old. While planning for our work went back a bit earlier, Sweet Water was incorporated in December 2009 and it hired its first staff in January, 2010. Thanks for your help in Jeff martinka building our partnership of governments, nonprofit organizations, and business; only that cooperation has enabled Sweet Water to mark its first successes. With partner support, our EPA-funded Menomonee River Watershed-Based Stormwater Permit Pilot Project was formally adopted on November 30th. It is now a new, national model. Eleven municipal partners now link together formerly disjointed stormwater pollution reduction efforts into a single regional initiative, using a natural watershed-based approach to create cost-effective, unified solutions. Together, the municipalities comprise 85% of the total watershed area. The work took 1 years and was led by joint efforts of municipal governments, EPA, the WI DNR, MMSD, SEWRPC, and Sweet Waters nonprofit partners. Sweet Water wrote the EPA
2009 mini-grant project: Bio-swale at urban Ecology Center

campaign ran on FOX6 from June to September and included 700 commercials with mascot Sparkles the Water Spaniel. The campaign was featured on TV news stories, on radio, in print and online media. The campaign also included a complementary outreach event effort with staffed booths at 32 community events. In another highlight, Sweet Waters Water Quality Mini-Grant Program expanded last year. On December 13th, we announced that 16 groups would receive $55,000 in support, each investment catalyzing a local effort to link sweat equity and our matching funds in a community project. Those new grants follow almost 30 Sweet Water grants in the prior two years. Mini-grant supporters in 2012 included the Fund for Lake Michigan, MMSD, and CH2M Hill. Those mini-projects parallel larger on-the-ground projects by Sweet Water partners like Sixteenth Street Community Health Center, installing residential green infrastructure projects on dozens of KK River homes, and American Rivers, partnering on stormwater-storing commercial best management practices in multiple Sweet Water watersheds.

grant that helped to fund the partnership and our success was marked by a well attended reception honoring the municipal partners, held on December 18th. Also in 2012, Sweet Water and Root-Pike WIN joined forces to develop a region-wide public storm water pollution outreach campaign. Our goal was to raise the publics knowledge of their role in improving water quality. The work was supported by the WI DNR and funding from nearly 30 municipal partners, from Germantown south to Kenosha. Our Respect Our Waters TV

Finally, our 8th annual Clean Rivers, Clean Lake Conference was held in April at Discovery World Museum, attracting more than 250 participants for a day of education and networking. Building on that success, our 2013 event is set for April 25th at the Harley-Davidson Museum on the Menomonee River. This sample gives a small sense of what you created in the past year. Thank you for that support, and as always, stay apprised of our work at www.swwtwater.org or visit our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/SE.WI.WatershedsTrust.org. From the Sweet Water Steering Council and our many NGO and municipal partners across the region, may you thrive in this coming year.

NaNCy FRaNk, sWEET WaTER

hen Sweet Water was still only an idea, one of the driving notions that brought people together to build Sweet Water was the recognition that collaboration would be more successful in attracting funding and could use funds more effectively by working together. Since 2008, Sweet Water has demonstrated the truth in this idea. Sweet Water has received funding from a large number of organizationsprivate, charitable, and governmental. Grants and contributions have supported our stormwater outreach efforts, our conference, and our core operations. In this issue, Sweet Water highlights the major support it has received from three entities: the Brico Fund, the Fund for Lake Michigan and the Joyce Foundation. These funders have provided significant levels of support that allowed Sweet Water to get up and running quickly and show early successes in advancing watershed restoration and water quality efforts in Southeastern Wisconsin. Because of this support, rather than paddling around trying to find a bit of breeze to fill our sails, Sweet Water has had a solid wind at our back that has allowed us to reach a critical velocity in a short amount of time. The Brico Fund provided support, both in-kind and cash grants, with Marilyn Goris on loan to Sweet Water providing guidance and strategic support. The Joyce Foundation provided substantial seed funding to Sweet Water, which has helped Sweet Water and our partners to learn how to collaborate and move forward on our watershed goals. The Fund for Lake Michigan, itself a new entity, has provided important funding to support Sweet Waters successful mini-grant program and support to Sweet Waters work with Root-Pike WIN to engage stakeholders in the development of a Watershed Restoration Plan for the Root River watershed.

JoyCe FounDATIon

The Joyce Foundation is well-known to environmental organizations around the Great Lakes, as well as to public radio audiences through their underwriting of National Public Radio. With headquarters in Chicago, the Joyce Foundation has funded Wisconsin organizations, especially around issues related to protection of the Great Lakes. Wisconsin luminaries, including Governor Tony Earl and Dr. Howard Fuller, have served on the Joyce Foundation board of directors. The Joyce Foundation was established in 1948 by Beatrice Joyce Kean of Chicago. The foundation currently has $750 million in assets, with annual grant awards upward of $25 million. About a quarter of the funding goes to environmental programs, with a focus on the Great Lakes region. As noted on its website, the Joyce Foundation seeks to ensure the continuing vitality of the Great Lakes region and to make sure that benefits are widely shared among its people. In the area of the environment, the foundation focuses on protecting and restoring the Great Lakes and on clean and efficient energy. The foundation is particularly interested in supporting policy innovation that will allow the region to meet its environmental goals despite the fiscal challenges faced by state and local governments in the region. In this regard, the Joyce Foundation has supported Sweet Water as a watershed collaborative seeking innovative policy approaches to achieve improved performance in meeting water resource goals in the Greater Milwaukee watersheds. The Joyce Foundation grants to Sweet Water ($1.9 million for 2009-2012 and $1.5 million for 2012-2015) have provided critical support for our basic operations. Continued on page 5

One of Sweet Waters loyal funders has been the Fund for Lake Michigan. The Funds mission is to support efforts, and in particular those in Southeastern Wisconsin, that enhance the health of Lake Michigan, its shoreline and tributary river systems for the benefit of the people, plants and animals that depend upon the system for water, recreation and commerce. The Fund has focused its grantmaking on projects that focus on habitat preservation and restoration and reducing pollutants in the watersheds of Southeastern Wisconsin. Since its formation a few years ago, the Fund has made millions of dollars in grants to improve the regions waterways. It has repeatedly supported Sweet Waters minigrants program, and has provided grants for a wide variety of large and small habitat restoration projects, pollution reduction projects, and other efforts to improve the regions water quality. The Fund for Lake Michigans grants to Sweet Water and to our many partners for activities that improve habitat and reduce pollution in our waterways represent a source of focused funding for our geographic area that we are very fortunate to have, said Jeff Martinka, executive director of Sweet Water. Vicki Elkin, executive director of the Fund for Lake Michigan, said Sweet Water and its members have proven to be invaluable partners to the Fund as we strive to improve water quality in southeast Wisconsin. Elkin noted that much of the Funds grant making to date has been based on the priorities and recommendations contained in Sweet Waters watershed restoration and implementation plans.
BRICo FunD

The Brico Fund was established in 1989 by Lynde B. Uihlein. Inspired by the philanthropic work of her mother, Jane Bradley Pettit and that of her grandfather and great uncle, Harry and Lynde Bradley, Ms. Uihlein carried forward her familys long, generous legacy of philanthropy through the creation of the Brico Fund. The Brico Funds four core areas of funding and related programs include: women and girls with an emphasis on out-of-school programming and reproductive health, justice and rights; the environment with a focus on water quality in Lake Michigan and its tributary rivers and working to build a locally sourced food system; a just and equitable society program that supports capacity and leadership building in organizations working for change; and culture and community that provides support to cultural and community organizations that enhance our regions quality of life. The Brico Fund has supported Sweet Water with funding for capacity building including administrative staff, diversified funding, IT capacity, and GIS technical assistanceall critical during Sweet Waters foundational years. In addition to our work in water quality issues, our collaborative structure, focus on water policy, and promotion of integrated water resource management also aligned Sweet Water with the Brico Funds central program strategies. Through this broad-based support from these key funders, Sweet Water has moved its mission forward, advancing water quality and watershed restoration for the Greater Milwaukee watershed while helping to improve the quality of life for its communities.

Sweet Water Welcomes karen Schapiro to Steering Council

TINa kRoENINg, sWEET WaTER

Strategic Plan Completed

NaNCy FRaNk, sWEET WaTER sTEERINg CouNCIl

trategic planning is one of those things that can feel like an appointment with the dentistnot something to look forward to, but you know you need to do it. And usually, it turns out to be a good experience and can even be fun. Sweet Water had not created a strategic plan since its founding in 2008. In the spring of 2011, the Steering Council began its efforts with the formation of a strategic planning committee and a series of meetings that helped to identify the key issues facing Sweet Water as an organization and to establish a proposed scope of work for our Joyce Foundation renewal grant. With support from the Nonprofit Management Fund, Sweet Water secured the assistance of a strategic planning consultant, Sara Wilson of Mayes|Wilson & Associates, LLC (www.mayeswilsonassociates.com).

aren Schapiro was elected to serve on the Sweet Water Steering Council at the October 30th bi-monthly meeting. Ms. Schapiro is an experienced environmental lawyer who began serving as the Executive Director of Milwaukee Riverkeeper in karen schapiro October 2009. She will serve on the Steering Council as the representative for Sweet Waters partnering non-governmental organizations. Earlier in her career, Ms. Schapiro served as the Executive Director of Midwest Environmental Advocates, a nonprofit environmental law firm and was also a partner at the law firm DeWitt, Ross & Stevens SC. Additionally, she served as an attorney at the U.S. EPA in Washington, D.C. Among her notable achievements, Ms. Schapiro is a recipient of two of the EPAs highest awards: the Special Achievement Award for outstanding legal services and the Bronze Medal of Commendation Award. In 2005, Ms. Schapiro was named a Leader in the Law by the Wisconsin Law Journal in recognition of her pro-bono on behalf of Milwaukee Riverkeeper to improve water quality in area rivers and Lake Michigan. Currently, Ms. Schapiro teaches courses on both water law and environmental law as an adjunct professor at Marquette University Law School. Nancy Frank, Chair of Sweet Waters Steering Council, commented Karen brings to the Steering Council broad experience in environmental work, serving in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. Her skills and commitment to water quality will be a great asset to the Steering Council. Schapiro joins the 14 member Steering Council comprised of representatives from municipal and county government, agencies and utilities, non-profit organizations, and industry. The Steering Council provides leadership and direction for Sweet Waters efforts in the Greater Milwaukee watershed.

The planning process included an online survey of stakeholders and phone interviews followed by a meeting (facilitated by our consultant, Sara Wilson) with key stakeholders to discuss survey results and brainstorm goals. Ms. Wilson and the strategic planning committee worked together to draft the goals, which were adopted by the Sweet Water Steering Council at its December meeting. The process has clarified and reconfirmed the founding purpose of Sweet Water, to facilitate collaborative efforts to achieve water resource improvements. The strategic plan lays out four goals.
goal 1: Strengthen Sweet Waters capacity to perform its special role as a convener of partners and collaborators that accomplish real change within our watersheds. goal 2: Provide leadership for water resource improvement in the Greater Milwaukee watersheds. goal 3: Develop a sustainable funding model and near-term fundraising

plan for Sweet Water.

goal 4: Facilitate a Water Quality Trade.

With detailed objectives for each goal, Sweet Water is moving ahead by developing an action plan for implementing the strategic plan. Some of the early out actions prioritized by the Executive Committee include improving the transparency of decision-making processes, reviewing the bylaws and policies and procedures and amending those as needed, developing a sustainable funding model with a fund-raising plan, and facilitating at least one water quality trade.

ilwaukees Magnificent Waters! What a rocky relationship we humans have had with our waters. The marshy delta summoned us to come and take refuge, gifting us with wild rice, fruit, fur and fowl. We gratefully settled in this estuary with its clear clean water, stunning views and sometimes turbulent skies. We traveled its courses, connecting us to upstream people. More of us came to exploit its navigable waters, building bridges, dams and mills. The basin, rich with cold springs, enhanced our ability to grow crops and raise cattle. Rivers then clouded with sediment trodden by hooves and slowly eroded. Meanwhile downstream, harbor improvements straightened the river mouth, filled the marshes, channeled and dredged the riverseliminating the once natural buffers for upstream agricultural sediment, animal waste and chemical discharges. Even as we turned our backs to the river, industry grew and we used the river to carry its waste away. People became sick from the river water and complained of its stench. Using Lake Michigan water, we flushed the river sending pollution into the Great Lake. This river improvement brought us riverside again with the return of boating, swimming, fishing, ferry rides and ice skating. Once again, we became complacent about the wounds we continued to inflict with more stormwater runoff and sewage while paper mills, woolen mills, and factories added insult to injury. In 1972 Congress enacted the Clean Water Act to protect, restore and maintain water quality of the nations waters, to make them fishable and swimmable. With the designation of Priority Watershed and Area of Concern, the focus was, once again, back on improving the Milwaukee Rivers water quality, fish and wildlife habitats, and increasing water-based recreation as well as cleaning up toxic sediment left behind from industrial commerce. In 1989, the Milwaukee Harbor Strategic Plan was compiled that incorporated both economics and environment.

Root-Pike Watershed Initiative network update

susaN gREENFIElD, RooT-PIkE WIN

f there was a lesson to be learned from 2012, it was that partnerships are worth the extra effort it takes to form them. Root-Pike Watershed Initiative Network partnered with Sweet Water on a number of important projects and we were able to reach more people and have a greater impact as a result. Our collaboration with Sweet Water, the Southeast Wisconsin Clean Water Network and eleven other municipalities to develop the Respect Our Waters media campaign is an amazing testimony of what can be done when organizations pull their resources and talents together. Working with Sweet Water, River Alliance of Wisconsin, UW-Cooperative Extension and Hawthorn Hollow Nature Sanctuary & Arboretum, we also lead two separate community-based restoration planning efforts for the Root and Pike rivers. In 2012 our Watershed-based Grant program awarded $48,174 to many other non-profits for a wide range of watershed projects. Through our Greener Yards Cleaner Waters program, built on a strong partnership with UW-Extension Cooperative, we educated 144 homeowners through workshops and reached over 900 households with our e-newsletter, while our Rain Garden Grant program helped fund 11 new rain gardens. Over 85 people joined the second annual Root River paddlea great turnoutthanks to collaboration with the Root River Council, River Bend Nature Center, Root River Environmental Education Community Center, Racine County, City of Racine, Racine Zoo and many others. Partnerships are truly the keys to success and we are looking forward to opening more doors of opportunity with them in 2013.

on the kk River waterfront at Barnacle Buds

Today, due to an influx of grant funds from U.S. EPA and a resurgence of local stewardship efforts, we are poised now, more than ever before, to take some giant leaps forward in reaching fishable, swimmable waters. The Wisconsin DNR and UW-Extension are leading the effort to solicit expert and citizen input on the next steps to take and how to communicate what has been happening. Whether you can see it or not, the river is waking up, wiggling its toes and getting ready for a great day ahead, when maybe, just maybe, we are more concerned with the temperature for swimming rather than the lack of purity.
