  • 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.
