Catoctin Morning

Protected by fencing from livestock and related bacteria, this tributary of the Catoctin Creek watershed flows into the Potomac River and the Chesapeake Bay. Virginia state reports show that the health and water quality of the Creek is impaired in many places from livestock, failed septic systems and wildlife, as well as from impervious surfaces as development continues.
