Locust Fork (0316-0111) Sub-Watershed: Clear Creek NRCS Sub-Watershed Number 030 Landuse: The Clear Creek sub-watershed drains approximately 73 mi 2 in Blount, Etowah, and Marshall Counties. Forest, pasture, and crop land comprised 89% of the SWCD land cover estimates. Eighteen CAFO registrations and one current construction/stormwater authorization have been issued in the sub-watershed (Appendix B). Percent land cover estimated by local SWCD (Appendix A, ASWCC 1998) Forest Row crop Pasture Mining Urban Open Water Other 35% 21% 33%
Locust Fork (0316-0111) and fair/poor, respectively (Appendix K). In May of 2002, one-time water quality sampling showed elevated conductivity, total dissolved solids, chlorides, and nutrients (NO 2 +NO 3 -N, NH 3 -N, TKN, DRP) (Appendix M). Big Mud Creek: At BW06U2-38, Big Mud Creek was a low-gradient stream in the Southern Table Plateaus (68d) subecoregion (Appendix T-1). Substrates were composed of sand, bedrock, boulder, and organic materials. Habitat quality was affected by sediment deposition and unstable banks. Results of one-time water quality sampling conducted in August of 1998 are provided in Appendix T-2. Sub-watershed status: Biological conditions were assessed as impaired within the Clear Creek sub-watershed in 1997 and 2002. Comparison to 1997 assessment data suggest that sedimentation impacts have decreased. Nutrient enrichment continues to be a problem at the site, however. . 143
