Project Goals/Objectives: Previous and ongoing projects in the Pond Creek Watershed have sought to fill in data gaps through monthly routine monitoring. This project will take the next step in the watershed management process by collating and analyzing available tabular and geospatial data to develop a characterization report of the Pond Creek Watershed. This will include potential sources of E. coli, as well as loadings and load duration curves (LDCs). Two public events will be held in the watershed to educate landowners about proper watershed functioning, as well as to inform them of the characterization report. Development of a watershed characterization report is critical to the future development of a WPP.
