Acknowledgments I gratefully acknowledge Heidi Lieffort and Amanda Wilson,

University of Wisconsin-Stout, for help with sampling and analysis. Funding for the research was provided by the City of Eau Claire and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. I also wish to thank the McNair Scholars program and Dr. Sarah Wynn and Jennifer Giesking, University of Wisconsin-Stout, for financial and educational support during the study. Lastly, none of this would have been possible if it wasn’t for my magnanimous mentor, Bill James.
