 the NSEA page:\n\nWater Quality: Whatcom Creek and its tributaries are
  listed on the Washington Department of Ecology's 303(d) list as impai
 red for temperature, Fecal Coliform, & dissolved oxygen levels.\nPollu
 tion: The main sources of pollution in the Whatcom Creek Watershed are
  attributed to human and animal waste and failing septic systems.\nMaj
 or Issues: Whatcom Creek flows 2.5 miles through Whatcom Falls Park, t
 he site of the 1999 pipeline explosion, which significantly changed co
 nditions along the creek. Although restoration projects have reduced t
 he damage done by the explosion and fire, complete recovery will take 
 time.\nFish and Wildlife: Whatcom Creek provides good habitat for Chin
 ook, coho, chum, steelhead and resident trout.\nInteresting Facts: The
 re is one dam in Whatcom Creek. The largest tributaries to Whatcom Cre
 ek are Lincoln Creek, Hannah Creek and Fever Creek.\nThe Whatcom Creek
  basin provides nearly 4 miles of accessible salmon habitat downstream
