This watershed assessment was conducted as part of the National Water Quality Initiative (NWQI) of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to serve as Planning (or Readiness) Phase effort in the Little Pipe Creek watershed of Frederick and Carroll counties, Maryland. The purpose of the assessment is to assist Maryland with reducing downstream Enterococci levels, improving macroinvertebrate scores, and reducing nutrient (i.e., nitrogen and phosphorus) levels through implementation of agricultural practices. The ultimate goal is to de-list the Little Pipe Creek watershed from the impaired waters list for its phosphorus, sediment, and bacterial impairments.
