The Fox-Wolf Drainage Basin is a sixty-four hundred square mile watershed located in Northeastern Wisconsin that empties into Green Bay. The Lower Fox River has been identified by the International Joint Commission as one of the 43 Areas of Concern in the Great Lakes. The "area of concern" (AOC) includes the lower seven miles of the Fox River from the De Pere dam to the river's mouth and a portion of the lower bay. Two of the top five goals of the Green Bay Remedial Action Plan are to reduce sediment and phosphorus delivery to the Fox River and Green Bay.
