Big Elk Creek GPS Location 25
Although Big Elk Creek is not strictly in the study area for the project, observations were made to allow comparison with conditions in Little Elk Creek. At location 25, Big Elk Creek passes next to a City Park and the riparian vegetation is primarily lawn. One team member reported having previously visited this location and watched shad milling around below the bridge, taking turns fighting the current on their way upstream.

- NOAA Field Observations (DRAFT) NOAA conducted a field inspection of Little Elk Creek and several of its tributaries in Mary 2005. The purpose of the field inspection was to evaluate habitat conditions on Little Elk Creek and its tributaries in and around Elkton, Maryland, with a focus on identifying habitat restoration opportunities for NOAA Trust species (anadromous fish, including American shad, white perch, blueback herring and alewife, and catadromous fish, including American eel). NOAA field observations and analysis were coordinated with USEPA and MDE under the "Little Elk Creek Area-Wide One Cleanup Program Pilot". The habitat issues of greatest importance were established as stream bank stability, viability of the riparian zone, and fish blockages.
