In 2012, Jefferson County SWCD teamed up with local groups to restore Indian-Kentuck Creek. 12 years later, conservation work cut nitrogen pollution by 81,259 pounds a year

Agricultural best management practices improved water quality in the Brushy Fork subwatershed. Nutrient and phosphorus inputs were reduced, benefiting aquatic habitats significantly. Stream segments are now proposed for delisting due to these conservation efforts. Local engagement and sustained implementation drove the project's overall success. These actions demonstrate effective watershed restoration and community stewardship.
