Lower Black Warrior River (0316-0113) During 1999, intensive water quality monitoring was conducted from Needham Creek at NHC-2 from June to August of 1999 (Appendix P-3). Dissolved oxygen and pH were below“Fish and Wildlife”water use classification criteria during 1 (25%) of 4 sampling events. Turbidity, CBOD5, and nutrient concentrations were elevated during the June sampling event. TKN was also elevated during the May and July sampling events. Sub-watershed status: Aquaculture, crop runoff, and pasture grazing were the main NPS concerns within the Dollarhide Creek sub-watershed. Habitat was assessed as fair due to eroded banks and poor instream habitat. The macroinvertebrate community was assessed as poor. However, low flow conditions may be partially responsible for the biological impairment. Intensive water quality data collected in 1999 suggested nutrient enrichment to be another potential cause of the impairment. Further monitoring is recommended for this sub-watershed. 184
Lower Black Warrior River (0316-0113) Sub-Watershed: Big Prairie Creek NRCS Sub-Watershed Number 160 Landuse: The Big Prairie Creek sub-watershed drains approximately 162 mi 2 in Hale, Marengo, and Perry Counties. Land cover within the sub-watershed was a mixture of pasture and forest. Six construction/stormwater authorizations and one municipal NPDES permit 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 31% 8% 55% 0% 5% 2% 780 colonies/100 mL. Nutrient concentrations (TKN, NO 2 +NO 3 -N, DRP) were elevated. 185
