Background
Plum Creek as a whole does not meet water quality standards for bacteria concentrations, and there are concerns for low dissolved oxygen and high nitrate; total phosphorus and ortho-phosphorus; and aquatic habitat. The Plum Creek Watershed Protection Plan calls for incorporating low impact development to help reduce nonpoint source pollution in runoff and improve water quality in the creek.
