Modeling the Lower Beaverdam Creek Using BASINS
Lower Beaverdam Creek Watershed n n Watershed area: 9, 753 acres (15. 24 Sq. Miles) 16. 0 miles of EPA Reach File Predominantly residential and industrial. Also contains some commercial, forested, and open areas. Primarily soil type: u u u n deep, well drained, highly erodible soils low permeability primarily clay with a thin mantle of silt, sand, or loam Significant impervious area results in high runoff potential
Landuse n Grouped the County landuses into 8 categories: u u n Low-density Residential (urban) Medium-density Residential (urban) High-density Residential (urban) Commercial (urban) u u Industrial (urban) Other Urban (urban) Agricultural (rural) Forested (rural) Rationale for grouping: u u Primarily urban and forested land Calibration sites used to develop the County Default Dataset represent residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, and forested landusespecific areas Forest 22% Agriculture 3% Other 2% Urban 74%

Model Setup n The Lower Beaverdam Creek watershed was segmented into 11 subwatersheds. u Delineations were based on County contour and stream network data n n n County landuse data were used to represent the subwatersheds. A WDM file containing meteorological data representative of the watershed was developed. Stream data were compiled and F-Tables (rating curves) developed.
