Donkey and Stonepile Creeks Non-Point Source Project, 2015-2016Donkey and Stonepile Creeks are located within the Donkey Creek Sub-Watershed. These streams flow through the City of Gillette and are directly impacted by the City’s increasing population. E. coli continues to be a threat to surface waters within Campbell County. Due in part to the risks to the community, CCCD has actively monitored and implemented Best Management Practices (BMPs) to aid in improving the quality of water within the Donkey Creek Watershed.

Belle Fourche Watershed TMDL, 2013The Belle Fourche Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) was completed in 2013 and contains recommendations for the Donkey Creek Sub-Watershed, which includes both Donkey and Stonepile Creeks. Donkey and Stonepile Creeks were removed from the 303(d) list following the completion of the Belle Fourche TMDL, and re-designated as IR Category 4A Impaired Waters with an approved TMDL.

Little Powder River Watershed Plan, 2006The Little Powder Watershed Steering Committee addresses concerns with fecal coliform and other water quality standards through a voluntary, landowner-driven planning process. The Committee convened in 2006 to draft and approve the Little Powder Watershed Plan.

Little Powder River E. coli Source Project, 2015-2016LPR originates just North of the City of Gillette, Wyoming and flows into the Powder River near Broadus, Montana. A section of LPR has been impaired for fecal coliform/E.coli since 2006, with the impaired segment extending from the Wyoming/Montana state line upstream to the confluence with Spring Creek. In 2014, CCCD received Clean Water Act Section 205j Nonpoint Source Pollution Control Funds for surface water monitoring of LPR within Campbell County.
