The document is an Illicit Discharge Summary Table from a 2009 Neel-Schaffer Assessment Report for the City of Jackson, Mississippi, focusing on storm sewer outfall evaluations and water quality assessments. The report details extensive pollution findings across multiple creek systems, including Hanging Moss Creek, Purple Creek, Eastover Creek, Eubanks Creek, Trahon Creek, Big Creek, Bakers Creek, Belhaven Creek, Cany Creek, Hardy Creek, 3 Mile Creek, Bailey Hill Creek, Lynch Creek, and Town Creek. The sampling was performed during dry weather, with the city providing an outfall map to locate specific discharge points.

The assessment revealed significant water quality issues at numerous outfall locations, with excessive pollution levels detected across various creek systems. Specific pollutants included surfactants, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), fecal coliform, chemical oxygen demand (COD), zinc, copper, hardness, and low pH. Many outfalls showed multiple contaminants exceeding water quality standard criteria, with some locations like Lynch Creek (LC-1 through LC-16) demonstrating particularly complex pollution profiles involving multiple pollutant types. The comprehensive report serves as a critical environmental assessment document for identifying and potentially addressing water quality challenges in the City of Jackson's storm sewer system.
