In 2002, the Teton Conservation District (TCD) chose Fish Creek and Flat Creek basins as study units for microbial source tracking for Escherichia coli fecal-indicator bacteria. Public concern about fecal contamination in surface waters and stream committee guidance led TCD to seek public input and eventually develop a plan to identify the sources of fecal bacteria in the two selected basins. Monitoring efforts began in March of 2003 and continued into November of 2003.
