Background
The lower portion of Geronimo Creek has been impaired (has not met Water Quality Standards) for elevated bacteria since 2006. The segment also had concerns for elevated nitrate-nitrogen in 2000 and 2010. In 2012, local stakeholders completed a WPP for Geronimo Creek and Alligator Creek.The WPP identifies failing septic systems as one of the primary causes of the bacteria impairment and nitrate-nitrogen concerns for Geronimo Creek
