“…Because of this Branch reflects the underlying geology of regulated condition, the WOC watershed is the watershed. Base-flow discharge is generally considered to be limited to the typically low with periods of no flow at 15.5-kin2 area above the dam (Edgar 1978).…”

“…Mean annual flow at the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS's) gaging station at EFPCK 5.3 is 51.9 cfs ; maximum and minimum daily flows over the same period were 4100 and 12 cfs, respectively (Lowery et al 1985). The maximum flow occurred on November 28, 1973; this storm resulted in 22 cm of rainfall in 48 hours (a once-in-25 year flood), based on studies conducted by Edgar (1978) in nearby White Oak…”

We report on sediment transport in White Oak Creek, a small third‐order stream in eastern Tennessee, whose sediments have been contaminated by the irreversible adsorption of 137Cs. Sediment cores taken downstream from a point contamination source record the recent history of sedimentation and contamination in the creek. Sediment size distinguishes between different sedimentation events. The contamination profile developed since the last sedimentation event is used to estimate the time of the most recent sedimentation event which agrees with higher‐than‐normal periods of discharge measured by weirs on the creek. It is likely that at least seven major bed load transport events occurred during 1985 and 1986. Total inventories of 137Cs in the bed load fraction were measured for six different size fractions for cores taken downstream from the point contamination source. The 137Cs concentration at any point in the creek is due to contaminated sediment transported to that location and subsequent contamination by 137Cs adsorbed directly from stream‐water. The irreversible nature of 137Cs adsorption onto the sediments of White Oak Creek means that 137Cs can be used as a particle tracer in this system. Sediment transport in White Oak Creek was modeled by using a general transport model that has terms for dispersion, velocity, adsorption, and radioactive decay. For White Oak Creek, maximum velocities of 265, 215, 170, and 160 m y−1 are estimated for the 1–2, 2–4, 4–8, and 8–16 mm size fractions, respectively.
