Pond Creek Watershed in southeast Tennessee encompasses 23,579 acres of which dairy and pasture-based beef operations are the primary land uses. Segments of the primary stream running through the watershed, Pond Creek and two of its major tributaries Greasy Branch and Mud Creek, are identified in the 2006 Tennessee 303(d) list of impaired waterways prepared by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC). Since April 2003, the Pond Creek Watershed community has maintained an on-going long-term project to improve water quality. Efforts are tailored to individual farms and operations to improve soil, crop, and livestock management, without jeopardizing agricultural production. This initiative aims at developing effective and integrated land management and monitoring approaches for local stakeholders as they are required to make coherent, informed decisions regarding land resources and their future.
