Mill Creek GPS Location 47

Location 47 is where an unpaved track leading to the Maryland Sand Gravel and Stone Superfund site, crosses over the south tributary of Mill Creek.  The creek water is stained a bright orange color at this location and phragmites are abundant in and adjacent to the creek.  The creek is only 1 to 2 m (3 to 5 feet) wide and a few inches deep, without discernable banks.  This area may be poor fish habitat due to degraded water quality, lack of suitable habitat, and insufficient flow.
