Survey
FPIND, Indian Village Tributary
  • Upstream Border: area between Seminole Rd., Oneida Rd., near Algonquin Road
  • Downstream Border: Elm Street Playground, Douglas School

Team: Lisa Wolf, Karen Null


This tributary of Fort Pond brook is a densely vegetated, undisturbed stream. It is dry in the summer with small peak flows (less than one cubic foot/second). The stream runs through a residential area and may be minimally impacted by nutrient loading from septic systems, contributing to the heavy vegetation.

The banks are predominantly wetlands and woods, and the stream is accessible only with difficulty. The southern end, adjacent to apartment buildings and the Douglas School playground is fairly littered.
