WaterWatch-Sleepy Creek

With Sleepy Creek Watershed Assoc. and the WV Conservation Agency, we are monitoring the main stem and tributaries for fecal coliform bacteria.

Shaded areas indicate watershed boundaries. Clicking in area will reveal HUC designations. Clicking on monitoring stations will reveal latest monitoring results by parameter including trend lines. Where possible, thresholds have been set to show pass/fail designation particularly for fecal coliform.

Project Report

Background

The Sleepy Creek (WVP-9, TMDL SWS 9001 – 9063) watershed is located in Morgan County, West Virginia (87%) and Fredrick County, Virginia (13%). Sleepy Creek flows 42 miles north into the Potomac River. Within the watershed two streams had a TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load), Sleepy Creek (main stem) and Indian Run tributary (WVP-9-G). Both Sleepy Creek and Indian Run were listed as impaired “relative to numeric water quality criteria for fecal coliform bacteria” in the 2007 TMDL. Indian Run was officially delisted as of 2012 (See: “Planting Trees and Upgrading Septic Systems Decreases Bacteria in Run”). Sleepy Creek remains on the impaired list.
