"The entire watershed is in Tennessee. The area is primarily agricultural with some small towns and industry. Point source discharges (industrial and municipal), urban runoff, abandoned mines and livestock operations are sources of impairment.
"This watershed has three high quality streams that are subecoregion reference sites, Wolf Creek, Little Swan Creek and Hurricane Creek in 71f (Western Highland Rim)."
