The document summarizes the Newton Creek Watershed Photo Documentation Project from 2016. The project aimed to document sources of non-point source pollution throughout the watershed. Volunteers photographed issues like trash in creeks, sewage overflows, stormwater runoff, and removal of riparian buffers. They also documented some areas with healthy forested buffers and streams. The overall watershed appears degraded with many issues contributing to poor water quality.
