Neuse River Subbasin 03-04-07 Chapter 7 Neuse River Subbasin 03-04-07 Including the: Contentnea Creek, Little Contentnea Creek, Little Creek, Moccasin Creek, Turkey Creek, Hominy Swamp, Toisnot Swamp and Nahunta Swamp 7.1 Subbasin Overview This is the largest subbasin in the Neuse River basin, Subbasin 03-04-07 at a Glance encompassing over 1,000 square miles in 9 different counties, including portions of Franklin, Wake, Johnston, Land Cover (percent) Nash, Wilson, Wayne, Pitt, Lenoir, and almost all of Greene Forest/Wetland: 52.9 Surface Water: 0.6 County. It contains the entire Contentnea Creek watershed, Urban: 4.1 including Buckhorn Reservoir and its 2 primary tributaries, Cultivated Crop: 39.8 Moccasin Creek and Turkey Creek. Pasture/ Managed Herbaceous: 2.6 Over the past decade, the cumulative growth in population Counties for the 3 major municipalities is over 8,000. Zebulon and Franklin, Greene, Johnston, Lenoir, Nash, Pitt, Wake, Wayne and Wilson Wilson increased by 21.6 percent and 16.8 percent respectively. Farmville’s population has decreased by 0.6 Municipalities percent. Over half of the land cover is forest/wetland and Bailey, Middlesex, Lucama, Black Creek, Fremont, Pikeville, Saratoga, cultivated cropland covers the other portion. There are many Snow Hill, Grifton, Zebulon, Wilson and hog farms located throughout this subbasin. Additional Farmville information regarding population and land use changes Stream Statistics throughout the entire basin can be found in Chapter 16. Total Streams: 655.5 mi/1,307.9 ac Total Supporting: 165.3 mi There are 4 major and 12 minor NPDES wastewater Total Impaired: 84.6 mi Total Not Rated: 46.7 mi/510.5 ac discharge permits in this subbasin with a total permitted flow Total No Data: 358.9 mi of 23.4 MGD. The largest is Wilson WWTP (14 MGD). There are also 40 individual NPDES stormwater permit in the subbasin. Refer to Appendix III for identification and more information on individual NPDES permit holders. Franklin, Nash, Wake and Wayne Counties have developed a stormwater program under Phase II. Johnston County has a model stormwater ordinances as required by the Neuse NSW strategy stormwater rules (Chapter 18). There are also 150 permitted animal operations in this subbasin. Both agricultural practices and point source dischargers impact the water quality in this subbasin. There are three new water quality impairments in this subbasin, a biological impairment based on a fair benthic bioclassification in Contentnea Creek and two low dissolved oxygen (DO) impairments in Moccasin and Turkey Creeks. The entire length of Little Contentnea and Hominy Swamp remained impaired for biological integrity. Water quality improvement was documented in Nahunta Swamp with the benthic bioclassification improving from fair to good-fair during this assessment period. Nahunta Swamp contained the highest diversity of macroinvertebrate fauna in this subbasin. Over $108,000 of the Agriculture Cost Share Program funds were spent between September 2000 and December 2006 on BMP implementation in this watershed. The best management practices used ranged from conservation tillage, cropland conversion, to field border and riparian buffer Chapter 7 – Neuse River Subbasin 03-04-07 187 *# *# *# JF43 M oc ca F*# igure 17 Neuse River Subbasin 03-04-07 sin 4 # N * 6 1 C - 3 C S U -2 r - e 3 C e 9 N k *# XW re FRANKLIN C ek JA37 ey WAKE k 1 r 8 op u -97 5 *# T NC - C T N oi sn Zebulon o op t op S 5 JB112 9 8 - NASH w I 5 a p - JA51 à JF54 m C # XW(!op N * JA52 ¡[(!à *# JB111 Bailey B ^ JF40 e *#*# a Middlesex v àJB94 H Wilson erdam(! o C m r JA54 e op in e y *# k JF48 S *# JB105 à op w ¡[(!

  • Hominy Swamp Creek Watershed Assessment and Restoration Plan
    Hominy Swamp Creek Watershed Assessment and Restoration Plan 1 Introduction 1.1 Background The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP; formerly the NC Wetlands Restoration Program) received a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1999 to develop a watershed assessment and restoration plan for one or more 14-digit hydrologic units within the Contentnea Creek watershed (Subbasin 7 of the Neuse River Basin). Hominy Swamp Creek (HU # 03020203020040; Figure 1.1), in Wilson, NC, was selected for the study in part because there were obvious nonpoint source water quality problems, the watershed appeared to have need and opportunity for watershed restoration planning, and there were noted concerns about flooding and associated resource and financial impacts in the City. Natural resource agencies in the community (federal, state, and local) expressed a willingness to participate in the watershed planning process; a summary of local participation and watershed goals is presented in Appendix A. Components of the grant were developed between 1999-2004 and are incorporated in this assessment and restoration plan. Other elements and deliverables for the grant are summarized in Appendix C. 1.2 Project History Earlier studies: The EPA grant was used to develop a watershed assessment and management plan for the upper portion of Hominy Swamp Creek (KCI, 1999), and a stream restoration project was implemented in Recreation Park (Figures 1.2, 1.3, 1.4) as a result of that assessment. Funding from the grant was also used to develop a land use/land cover characterization using high resolution satellite imagery (Center for Earth Observation, North Carolina State University, 2000).

  • Interbasin Transfer Petition: from Tar River to Contentnea and Neuse River Subbasins
    B1 Interbasin Transfer Petition: From Tar River to Contentnea and Neuse River Subbasins Greenville Utilities Commission April 2009 Environmental Management Commission Meeting May 2009 B2 Greenville Utilities Commission Interbasin Transfer Petition Executive Summary EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Town of Farmville, the Town of Winterville, and Greene County plan to purchase bulk finished water from the Greenville Utilities Commission (GUC) to comply with the Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area (CCPCUA) rules and continue to meet customer needs. GUC relies on the Tar River for its water supply, and the Town of Farmville and the majority of Greene County are located within the Neuse River Contentnea Creek subbasin. Farmville and Greene County discharge wastewater into the Contentnea Creek subbasin via centralized treatment or on-site septic systems. Therefore, sales of finished water to the Town of Farmville and Greene County will constitute an interbasin transfer from the Tar River subbasin to the Neuse River Contentnea Creek subbasin. The Town of Winterville water and wastewater systems and the southwestern portion of Greene County are located within the Neuse River subbasin. Therefore, sales of finished water to the Town of Winterville and Greene County will constitute an interbasin transfer from the Tar River subbasin to the Neuse River subbasin. GUC is requesting an IBT Certificate for a water transfer from the Tar River subbasin to the Contentnea Creek subbasin to support the Town of Farmville and Greene County’s compliance with CCPCUA rules. GUC is requesting an IBT Certificate in the amount of 8.3 mgd to meet Farmville and Greene County’s maximum day demands through 2030.
