MonitoringLocationDescriptionText Site 12 - East Fork of Walker Branch: Samples are taken from the creek in a length of the stream about 150 feet in distance, beginning about 100 feet from the confluence with Melton Hill Lake. The exact location depends upon the water level of the Clinch River at the time of sampling. The gradient of the stream at this point is slight and sometimes the river backs up into the stream, therefore sampling must be done farther upstream to obtain a sample representative of the stream and not the river.
