The water constituents include sediment, nutrients, and pollutants from agricultural and industrial sources. There are no major dams on the creek, but several small dams and impoundments exist for mining and recreation purposes. The hydrology of the creek is influenced by seasonal trends, with higher flows occurring during wetter months and lower flows during drier months. An interesting fact is that the Buffalo Creek was the site of a major environmental disaster in 1972, when a coal waste dam failed and released millions of gallons of toxic sludge into the creek, killing 125 people and causing widespread damage.
