Saturn Corporation
Spring Hill, TN (1986-2007)
Dinkins Biological Consulting was contracted to perform biological and water quality studies at the Saturn facility near Spring Hill, TN. In these studies, fish, benthic macroinvertebrate, and surface water samples were collected from three reaches on Carters Creek, two reaches on Titan Creek, and one reach on West Fork McCutcheon Creek and Cheshire Branch. DBC conducted seasonal surveys every other year from 1986-2007 to determine the facility’s impact on the creeks. DBC worked alongside Saturn’s environmental team to determine areas of great importance jeopardized by runoff and erosion. By considerably controlling surface runoff and implementing strict erosion control measures, the water quality and biological fauna of all the creeks were improved.
