Please give a brief summary of previous or ongoing initiatives and /or organizations addressing pedestrian safety within the community. Wilmington's leaders understand the importance of creating a city where streets, sidewalks and other pedestrian accommodations are designed to make pedestrians feel safe and comfortable. Several initiatives and projects are underway to support pedestrians Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/16/2010 4 -3 -4 including the Safe Routes to School program, Neighborhood Traffic Management Program, Cross -City Trail project, Military Cutoff Trail project, assorted pedestrian crossing projects, and annual sidewalk construction program. The City of Wilmington has invested millions of dollars over the past five years in pedestrian infrastructure. There are several standing committees which have a role in the implementation of these initiatives and projects, including: Wilmington Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization- BikePed Committee, Safe Routes to School Task Force, Fit Community Task Force and Cape Fear Health Policy Council. 15. Please provide a statement of need for improving pedestrian safety for children in your community. Please include any specific data or information that describes the pedestrian problems in your community. The intersections of South 10th Street at Wooster Street (US 76) and South 10th Street at Dawson Street are located along a highly - travelled pedestrian corridor that connects several community centers, schools, parks and transit stops with large low- income housing communities. These NCDOT- maintained intersections lack crosswalks, pedestrian push- buttons and signals heads, despite the fact that Wooster Street is three -lanes wide and Dawson Street is four -lanes wide. The speed limit on each street is 35 miles per hour, but the average speeds greatly exceed this. The roadways, which are designated US Highway 76, carry an extremely high - volume of traffic to and from the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge, which connects Brunswick County and New Hanover County. There is a high level of existing pedestrian activity at these two subject intersections, with counts conducted by the City of Wilmington in May 2008 showing 137 people crossing Wooster Street and Dawson Street in a four -hour period. Many of these pedestrians are children heading to and from nearby parks and schools. The subject intersections are located in the Urban Core Zone, as defined in the adopted Walk Wilmington: A Comprehensive Pedestrian Plan. This zone is home to many of Wilmington's older residential neighborhoods and the streets are generally laid out in a traditional grid pattern. Blocks tend to be a little longer than in the Central Business District Zone, but most local streets have relatively narrow pavement widths. There are several significant east -west arteries that carry vehicle traffic between the Central Business District Zone and the bridges that cross the Cape Fear River to the rest of the city. Dawson Street, Market Street, South 3rd Street, South 16th Street, South 17th Street and Wooster Street are some of the busiest roadways in this area. Generally, there are good pedestrian accommodations along neighborhood streets. Most areas have sidewalks on two sides of the roadway, and traffic volumes and speeds are relatively slow, creating comfortable environments for people walking. Pedestrian accommodations along many of the major arteries are inconsistent. This may be due in part to a pattern of successive roadway widening without adequate consideration for pedestrian accommodations. For example, a pedestrian walking along Dawson or Wooster Streets in the southern end of the character zone may find that sidewalks are missing. Furthermore, the streetscape is visually unappealing in many places, and walkers are forced to pass vacant lots littered with trash and other debris. In this heavily travelled corridor, there are long distances between signalized intersections and pedestrians were frequently observed crossing the roadway at unmarked midblock locations, often using such risky measures as standing in a travel lane waiting for cars to pass in the next lane before completing their trip. Recommendations included in the adopted Dawson and Wooster Corridor Plan are designed to ameliorate many of these Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/16/2010 4 -3 -5 shortcomings. Most of the signal controlled intersection in this zone lack marked crosswalks and pedestrian signal heads, despite relatively high observed levels of pedestrian activity. 16. Please provide some basic demographics of your community and who is affected by pedestrian safety concerns. The current project will target residents of an economically distressed area of Wilmington, NC. According to U.S. Zip Code data, the median household income is $30,661. More than 13% of households do not have a motor vehicle available. The neighborhood elementary school is 62% minority, 44% free or reduced lunch, and the middle school is 69% minority, 71 % free or reduced lunch. The median age of the target area is 35.7 years, indicating a high number of young families with children. There are 2 large public housing campuses (Jervay Place and Hillcrest) <0.25 mile from the targeted intersections. The proposed project would allow the children residing at these campuses to safely cross Dawson and Wooster Streets to access numerous community resources including schools, after - school programs, Dreams Center for Arts Education, fitness centers and parks. 17. Please describe the source of the crash data or pedestrian data you are providing for the community your coalition serves. The crash data provided is from the Wilmington Police Department PISTOL crash report system. The date range of the data is January 1, 2005 to July 28, 2010. 18.

Schult, Clerk to the Board Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/16/2010 5 -1 -1 DEV FACT SHEET on HUD's Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant Program The Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant Program will support regional planning efforts that integrate housing, land use, economic and workforce development, transportation, and infrastructure investments in a manner that empowers jurisdictions to consider the interdependent challenges of economic competitiveness and revitalization; social equity, inclusion, and access to opportunity; energy use and climate change; and, public health and environmental impacts. The program will place a priority on investing in partnerships, including nontraditional partnerships (e.g., arts and culture, philanthropy, etc.) and bringing new voices to the regional planning process. The grant program is a centerpiece of the Interagency Partnership for Sustainable Communities, a joint effort between HUD, the US Department of Transportation, and the US Environmental Protection Agency to leverage long -term development and reinvestment that advances improved environmental and economic sustainability and to engage stakeholders and citizens in meaningful decision - making roles. HUD has chosen to make the Partnership's six Livability Principles central to the program outcomes discussed in the NOFA: 1. Provide More Transportation Choices. 2. Promote Equitable, Affordable Housing. 3. Enhance Economic Competitiveness. 4. Support Existing Communities. 5. Coordinate Policies and Leverage Investment. 6. Value Communities and Neighborhoods. The Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant Program will support a number of activities related to the development and implementation of integrated long -range regional plans such as, but not limited to, A) identifying affordable housing, transportation investment, water infrastructure, economic development, land use planning, environmental conservation, energy system, open space, and other infrastructure priorities for the region; B) establishing performance goals and measures; C) providing detailed plans, policies, and implementation strategies to be implemented by all participating jurisdictions over time to meet planning goals; and, D) engaging residents and stakeholders substantively and meaningfully in the development of the shared vision and its implementation. For a full list of eligible activities please refer to the published NOFA. Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/16/2010 5 -2 -1 Recognizing that areas are in different stages of achieving sustainability, HUD established two funding categories for the Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant program. • Category 1 Funds can be used to support the preparation of Regional Plans for Sustainable Development. Category 2 Funds can be used to support efforts to fine -tune existing regional plans so that they address the Partnership's Livability Principles, to prepare more detailed execution plans for an adopted Regional Plan for Sustainable Development, and limited predevelopment planning activities for catalytic project /projects. Grants will be made to regional consortia consisting of local governments, metropolitan planning organizations, educational institutions and non - profit organizations. The end product of a regional planning initiative will be a Regional Plan for Sustainable Development or a Detailed Execution Plan and Program for a Regional Plan for Sustainable Development that will provide a blueprint for investment decisions, both public and private, that will support a more sustainable future for a region. The size of awarded grant amounts is determined by whether the applicant represents a large metropolitan region, a medium -sized region, or a small -sized region, rural communities or small towns areas. Grant applications are due August 23, 2010. Applicants for funding should carefully review the requirements described in the NOFA and HUD's General Section. Specific questions regarding the Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant Program requirements should be directed to: or may be submitted through the sustainabili website.

New Hanover County Water Quality Monitoring Program: 2009 -2010 Final Report. New Hanover County, North Carolina: Coastal Planning & Engineering of North Carolina, Inc. 47p. July 2010 COASTAL PLANNING & ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC. Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/16/2010 16 -1 -1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report represents the June 2009 through May 2010 results of the New Hanover County Water Quality Monitoring Program. Nineteen (19) monitoring stations within seven (7) creeks in New Hanover County were monitored on a monthly basis for physical, chemical, and biological parameters of water quality. The results presented in this report are described from a watershed perspective. In order to provide a quick - glance assessment of the water quality within a particular sampling station and watershed, a rating system has been established for a number of parameters. This quantitative system assigns a rating of "GOOD ", "FAIR ", or "POOR" to a sampling station depending on the percentage of samples exceeding the State standard for dissolved oxygen, turbidity, Chlorophyll -a, Enterococci, and fecal coliform bacteria. If the recorded value of a parameter exceeds the State standard less than 10% of the times sampled, the station will receive a "GOOD" rating for the parameter. A "FAIR" rating is assigned when a parameter exceeds the State standard 11 -25% of the times sampled. Parameters measured that exceed the State standard more than 25% of the sampling times are given a "POOR" rating. As displayed in the tables below, turbidity and Chlorophyll -a were determined to be "good" within all watersheds throughout the study period. Dissolved oxygen varied considerably between watersheds and within sites. Specifically, Barnards Creek, Lords Creek, Motts Creek, and Smith Creek were deemed to be "good" while Futch Creek contained "fair" levels of dissolved oxygen. Both Pages Creek and Prince Georges Creek were rated as "poor" for dissolved oxygen. Generally, Enterococci was problematic in a number of these watersheds. All watersheds were rated as "poor" with the exception of Futch Creek, which contained "good" levels. Fecal coliform, another indicator of bacterial contamination, was assessed monthly within Pages Creek and Futch Creek.

Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/16/2010 16 -1 -6 INTRODUCTION The creeks in New Hanover County, North Carolina provide a wide range of recreational activities for thousands of local citizens and visiting tourists each year. Tidal creeks are rich areas in terms of aquatic, terrestrial and avian wildlife and can support complex food webs (Odom et al, 1984; Kwak and Zedle, 1997). Protection of the water quality within these creeks is a high priority for New Hanover County. As growth and development continue within the City of Wilmington and the County, water quality has been increasingly threatened due to many factors including aging infrastructure, increased impervious surface area and subsequent stormwater runoff. To address these issues, the County has administered a long- standing water quality monitoring program since 1993 designed to assess the water quality within the creeks located within the County. Coastal Planning &Engineering of North Carolina, Inc. began monitoring seven (7) tidal creeks within New Hanover County on a monthly basis beginning in November 2007. The information presented in this report represents the results of this monitoring between the months of June 2009 and May 2010. The creeks included in this study are Pages and Futch Creek, which drain into the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) and Lords, Motts, Barnards, Smith, and Prince Georges Creek, which drain into the Cape Fear River (Figure 1) (Table 1). Thirteen (13) of the nineteen (19) sampling sites were previously monitored by the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. In order to assess any changes to historical trends within individual sites and entire watersheds, data provided by UNCW has been analyzed and incorporated into the results and discussion section of this report. Photographs of each sampling site are found in Appendix A. 1 COASTAL PLANNING & ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC. Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/16/2010 16-1-7 Table 1.

Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/16/2010 16 -1 -8 Figure 1. Map of New Hanover County and watersheds included in this study The State of North Carolina has employed a series of classifications that apply to all waters in the State including streams, rivers, and lakes (NC Administrative Code, section 15A NCAC 2B .0200). These classifications are meant to protect the specified uses within waterbodies. These include aquatic life survival and reproduction, secondary recreation, primary recreation, shellfishing, and water supply. The classifications that apply to the creeks examined in this study are: 3 COASTAL PLANNING & ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC. Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/16/2010 16-1-9 C Sw: Freshwater that is protected for aquatic life and secondary recreation uses. The "Sw" supplemental classification indicates that these are swamp waters, and so are likely to have lower dissolved oxygen and pH than non -swamp streams due to natural conditions. However, a majority of the sites, including Lords Creek, Motts Creek, Barnards Creek, Smith Creek, and Prince Georges Creek, designated as C Sw by the State, are tidally influenced and have a brackish salinity range. SA: Saline water bodies that are protected for shellfishing uses. This use requires a more stringent standard for fecal coliform. Areas protected for shellfishing are also subject to the protection requirements for the less stringent classifications of SC and SB, which include aquatic life, secondary recreation, and primary recreation. This designation applies to Futch Creek and Pages Creek. Parameters Physical, chemical, and biological water quality monitoring data are currently being collected for this study. Physical parameters include temperature, salinity, conductivity, pH, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen. Chemical parameters monitored in this study include orthophosphate and nitrate /nitrite. Biological parameters include Chlorophyll -a and two suites of fecal indicator bacteria: Enterococci and fecal coliform bacteria. Due to limited funding, fecal coliform samples were only collected from sampling sites located within Futch Creek and Pages Creek. Temperature: Thermal pollution can result in significant changes to the aquatic environment. Most aquatic organisms are adapted to survive within a specific temperature range. Thermal pollution may also increase the extent to which fish are vulnerable to toxic compounds, parasites, and disease. If temperatures reach extremes of heat or cold, few organisms will survive. Thermal pollution may be caused by stormwater runoff from warm surfaces such as streets and parking lots. Soil erosion is another cause, since it can cause cloudy conditions in a water body. Cloudy water absorbs the sun's rays, resulting in a rise in water temperature. Thermal pollution may even be caused by the removal of trees and vegetation which normally shade the water body. In addition to the direct effects of thermal pollution on aquatic life, there are numerous indirect effects. Thermal pollution results in lowered levels of dissolved oxygen, since cooler water can hold more oxygen than warmer water. Salinity: Salinity is a measure of the amount of sodium chloride ions dissolved in water. This is important to monitor since changes in the levels of salt concentration can impact the ability of salt sensitive species to survive. An estuary, such as the lower Cape Fear River, usually exhibits a gradual change in salinity throughout its length, as freshwater entering the estuary from tributaries mixes with seawater moving in from the ocean. Salinity levels control, to a large degree, the types of plants and animals that can live in different zones of the estuary. Freshwater species may be restricted to the upper reaches of the estuary, while marine species inhabit the estuarine mouth. Some species tolerate only intermediate levels of salinity while broadly adapted species can acclimate to any salinity ranging from freshwater to seawater. FA COASTAL PLANNING & ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC. Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/16/2010 16 -1 -10 Conductivity: Specific conductance is a measure of the ability of water to conduct an electrical current. Similar to salinity, it measures the amount of dissolved ions (including sodium chloride) in the water. pH• The pH of water is a measurement of the concentration of H+ ions, using a scale that ranges from 0 to 14. Natural water usually has a pH between 6.5 and 8.5. While there are natural variations in pH, many pH variations are due to human influences. Unanticipated decreases in pH could be indications of acid rain, runoff from acidic soils, or contamination by agricultural chemicals. Turbidity: Turbidity is the amount of particulate matter that is suspended in water. Turbidity measures the scattering effect that suspended solids have on light: the higher the intensity of scattered light, the higher the turbidity. During a rainstorm, particles from the surrounding land are washed into the river making the water a muddy brown color, indicating higher turbidity. Dissolved Ox ygen: Dissolved oxygen (DO) refers to the volume of oxygen that is contained in water. Oxygen enters the water as rooted aquatic plants and algae undergo photosynthesis and as oxygen is transferred across the air -water interface. The amount of oxygen that can be held by the water depends on the water temperature, salinity, and pressure. Rapidly moving water, such as in a flowing stream, tends to contain a lot of dissolved oxygen, while stagnant water contains little. Oxygen levels are also affected by the diurnal (daily) cycle. Plants, such as rooted aquatic plants and algae produce excess oxygen during the daylight hours when they are photosynthesizing. During the dark hours they must use oxygen for life processes. Bacteria in water can consume oxygen as organic matter decays. Thus, excess organic material in waterbodies can cause oxygen deficits. Aquatic life can become stressed or die in stagnant water containing high levels of rotting, organic material in it, especially in summer, when dissolved - oxygen levels are at a seasonal low. Phosphates: Phosphorus is a nutrient required by all organisms for the basic processes of life. Phosphorus is a natural element found in rocks, soils and organic material. Phosphorus clings tightly to soil particles and is used by plants, so its concentration in clean waters is generally very low. However, phosphorus is used extensively in fertilizer and other chemicals, so it can be found in higher concentrations in areas of human activity. High levels in the water column can be detrimental to water quality as phosphates can cause algal blooms resulting in decreased dissolved oxygen levels. Orthophosphate is sometimes referred to as "reactive phosphorus." Orthophosphate is the most stable kind of phosphate, and is the form used by plants. Orthophosphate is produced by natural processes and is found in sewage. 1 COASTAL PLANNING & ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC. Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/16/2010 16 -1 -11 Nitrate/Nitrite: Nitrate is highly soluble (dissolves easily) in water and is stable over a wide range of environmental conditions. It is easily transported in streams and groundwater. Nitrates feed plankton (microscopic plants and animals that live in water), aquatic plants, and algae, which are then eaten by fish. Nitrite is relatively short-lived in water because it is quickly converted to nitrate by bacteria. Excessive concentrations of nitrate and /or nitrite can be harmful to humans and wildlife. If excessive amounts of nitrates are added to the water, algae and aquatic plants can be produced in large quantities. When these algae die, bacteria decompose them, and use up oxygen. Chlorophyll -a: Chlorophyll -a is a green pigment found in plants. It absorbs sunlight and converts it to sugar during photosynthesis. Chlorophyll -a concentrations are an indicator of phytoplankton abundance and biomass in coastal and estuarine waters. High levels often indicate an algal bloom which can induce the depletion of oxygen in the water column due to the microbial degradation of plant cells. Chlorophyll -a concentrations are often higher after rainfall, particularly if the rain has flushed nutrients into the water. Higher chlorophyll -a levels are also common during the summer months when water temperatures and light levels are high because these conditions lead to greater phytoplankton numbers. Fecal Colifo�Yn: e Fecal Coliform bacteria are present in the feces and intestinal tracts of humans and other warm - blooded animals, and can enter water bodies from human and animal waste. If a large number of fecal coliform bacteria are found in water, it is possible that pathogenic (disease- or illness - causing) organisms are also present in the water. Pathogens are typically present in such small amounts it is impractical to monitor them directly. High concentrations of the bacteria in water may be caused by septic tank failure, poor animal keeping practices, pet waste, and urban runoff. In order to adequately assess human health risks and develop watershed management plans, it is necessary to know the sources of fecal contamination. F"tornl-nl-l-i Enterococci are distinguished from fecal coliform bacteria by their ability to survive in saltwater, and in this respect they more closely mimic many pathogens than do the other indicators. Enterococci are typically more human - specific than the larger fecal streptococcus group. EPA recommends Enterococci as the best indicator of health risk in saltwater used for recreation and as a useful indicator in freshwater as well. In 2004, Enterococci took the place of fecal coliform as the new federal standard for water quality at public beaches. It is believed to provide a higher correlation than fecal coliform with many of the human pathogens often found in sewage (Jeng, et al., 2004). Results indicated that Enterococci might be a more stable indicator than fecal coliform and, consequently, a more conservative indicator under brackish water conditions. Standards Water quality standards have been established legislatively for a number of these parameters (Table 2). Many of the water quality standards are described in the NC Administrative Code, section 15A NCAC 2H .0100. The water quality standards for Enterococci bacteria are COASTAL PLANNING & ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC. Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/16/2010 16 -1 -12 described by the US EPA (US EPA, 1986) and in the NC Administrative Code, section 15A NCAC 18A .3402. The US EPA standards for Enterococci bacteria are based on incidents of gastrointestinal illness following contact with bathing waters. Bacterial contamination is quantified by "colony forming units" or CFU. Single sample maximum allowable Enterococci density is 104 CFU/ 100ml, 158 CFU/ 100ml, 276 CFU/ 100ml, and 501 CFU/ 100ml for designated beach areas, swimming areas with moderate to full body contact, lightly used full body contact swimming areas, and infrequently used full body contact swimming areas, respectively (Table 3). When at least five samples are collected within a 30 day period, the US EPA recommends utilizing a geometric mean standard of 35 CFU/ 100ml. Geometric means are often useful summaries for highly skewed data, as are often found with bacteriological datasets. The North Carolina Recreational Water Quality Program (RWQ) adopted similar standards for Enterococci bacteria, also determined by the frequency of swimming activity. As defined by RWQ, Tier I swimming areas are used daily during the swimming season, Tier II swimming areas are used three days a week during the swimming season, and Tier III swimming areas are used on average 4 days a month during the swimming season. Single sample standards for Tiers I, II, and III are 104 CFU / l 00ml, 276 CFU / l 00ml, and 500 CFU / l 00ml, respectively (Table 4). A geometric mean of 35 CFU / l 00ml within Tier I swimming areas may also be utilized if at least five samples are collected within 30 days. The creeks included in this study have not been classified within the RWQ tier system; however an analysis of accessibility as an indicator of swimming and boating usage has been performed (Table 5). Based on this analysis, of the nineteen (19) sampling sites, three (3) could be considered Tier II and sixteen (16) could be considered Tier III. Table 2.

These seven creeks are primarily located in the unincorporated portion of New 0 COASTAL PLANNING & ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC. Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/16/2010 16 -1 -14 Hanover County. Sampling sites were accessed from land, generally near a bridge or culvert crossing, or by boat. Each site was sampled one time per month during a high ebb tide. Tides were determined utilizing the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Tides and Currents website ( http : / /tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov /). Physical Parameters All physical measurements (temperature, salinity, conductivity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, and pH) were taken in situ utilizing a 6820 YSI Multiparameter Water Quality Probe linked to a YSI 650 MDS display unit. The YSI Probe was calibrated each day prior to use. Physical measurements were taken from the surface at all sites (depth = O.lm) and near the creek bottom at sites with depths greater than 0.5m. Following each sampling trip, the YSI Probe was post- calibrated following each sampling date to ensure that the physical parameters measured were within an acceptable range. Chemical and Biological Parameters Water samples were obtained for the laboratory analysis of chemical (nitrate /nitrite and orthophosphate) and biological (Enterococci, fecal coliform, and Chlorophyll -a) parameters. These grab samples were collected in sterile bottles during a high ebb tide from the surface at each site (depth = O.lm). Water samples were placed on ice immediately following collection and were delivered in coolers to Environmental Chemists, Inc. of Wilmington, North Carolina for analysis. All analyses performed by Environmental Chemists, Inc. were conducted utilizing the following standard EPA approved methods: Orthophosphate: SM 4500E Nitrate/Nitrite : EPA 353.2 Chlorophyll -a: SM 10200H Fecal Coliform: SM 9222D Enterococci : EnterolertE RESULTS The results described in this report represent the physical, biological, and chemical data collected from all sampling sites on a monthly basis between June 2009 and May 2010. These results are organized by watershed. All raw data, including parameters not summarized in this section, are included in Appendix B. Rating System In order to provide aquick- glance assessment of the water quality within a particular sampling station or watershed, the University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNCW) has previously employed a rating system for a number of parameters. This quantitative system assigns a rating X COASTAL PLANNING & ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC. Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/16/2010 16 -1 -15 of "GOOD ", "FAIR ", or "POOR" to a sampling station depending on the percentage of samples exceeding the State standard for dissolved oxygen, turbidity, Chlorophyll -a, Enterococci, and fecal coliform bacteria. If the recorded value of a parameter exceeds the State standard less than 10% of the times sampled, the station will receive a "Good" rating for the parameter. A "Fair" rating is assigned when a parameter exceeds the State standard 11 -25% of the times sampled. Parameters measured that exceed the State standard more than 25% of the sampling times are given a "Poor" rating. Barnards Creek The Barnards Creek watershed includes 4,953 acres and is located in the southwestern portion of the County, just along the City line. The watershed drains portions of Carolina Beach Road at its headwaters and flows towards River Road before entering into the Cape Fear River. Zoning within the watershed is comprised of a mix of residential and commercial uses. The land is classified as a mix of transition, urban, and conservation according to the CAMA land use plan. This watershed contains approximately 16.9% impervious surface coverage (Hume, 2009). Sampling was conducted at one site (BC -CBR) within the Barnards Creek watershed (Figure 2). Surface dissolved oxygen within BC -CBR ranged between 5.2 mg /1 and 12.3 mg /1 with a mean value of 7.7 mg /1. These values were within an acceptable level above the State standard of 4.0 mg /1 for C Sw waters during all sampling events at both the surface and near the bottom of the water column (Figure 3). Chlorophyll -a ranged between 0.0 ug /l and 2.0 ug /l with a mean value of 0.9 ug /l at BC -CBR. These values did not approach the 40ug /l standard. Enterococci ranged between 64 CFU /100m1 and 1,364 CFU /100m1 with a geometric mean value of 426 CFU /100m1, which is above the NCDENR standard of 500 CFU /100m1 for Tier III waters (Figure 4).

Futch Creek has also shown to contain good ratings; however dissolved oxygen was shown to be "fair" while fecal coliform was determined to be "poor ". Both Lords Creek and Motts Creek were deemed "good" for all parameters with the exception of "poor" for Enterococci. Pages Creek also demonstrated "good" ratings for turbidity Chlorophyll -a, however dissolved oxygen, fecal coliform, and Enterococci were "poor ".

Since that time, the condition of several parameters has changed within select watersheds indicating emerging long term trends. Table 21 depicts these net changes since that time. A "+I" was ascribed if the parameter improved by a magnitude of one rating (i.e. from "fair" to "good "). If the magnitude of change increased by a magnitude of two ratings (i.e. from "poor" to "good "), the parameter was ascribe " +2 ". A negative change (decline in water quality) was denoted with a negative sign. As depicted in Table 21, the turbidity ratings within all creeks have maintained a "good" rating. Similarly, Chlorphyll -a ratings have been "good" for all creeks with the exception of a change from "fair to "good" within Lords Creek. Motts Creek improved its dissolved oxygen rating from "fair" to "good ", while Prince Georges Creek has declined in dissolved oxygen levels (from "fair" to "poor "). The Enterococci levels have declined to "poor" ratings for Barnards Creek, Lords Creek, Motts Creek, and Prince Georges Creek. Barnards Creek and Motts Creek were rated as "good" in previous years while Lords Creek and Prince Georges Creek were formerly deemed "fair ". No changes of fecal coliform bacteria levels were observed within Futch Creek and Pages Creek (the only watersheds monitored for fecal coliform). Table 21.

Data was not available from all currently monitored stations; therefore this analysis was performed only for the stations which spanned the time period between 2004 and 2010. These included samples acquired from Smith Creek, Futch Creek, and Pages Creek. Figures 47 through 49 depicts the average level of dissolved oxygen within these creeks since 2004. As illustrated in these figures, the dissolved oxygen levels during the 2007 sampling period markedly declined within all three watersheds.

Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/16/2010 16-1-48 Figure 54- Long term chlorophyll -a data within Futch Creek Figure 55- Long term chlorophyll -a data within Smith Creek DISCUSSION Water quality is an important issue in the region due to the fact that there are many economic and recreational opportunities that are supported by the aquatic resources in and around these waterways. One of the greatest threats to water quality in this area is stormwater runoff created by increased impervious surface coverage (Mallin et al., 2000). Polluted stormwater runoff can have many adverse effects on plants, fish, animals and people. Excess nutrients can cause algal blooms while bacteria and other pathogens can wash into swimming areas and create health hazards. New Hanover County has experienced rapid growth and development over the past several decades. In 1990, the population within the County was 120,284. By 2006, the population grew over 50% to 182,591 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2006). Along with this population increase and subsequent stormwater runoff, numerous septic tanks, aging wastewater infrastructure, and other factors potentially impact the water quality within the County's creeks. With this in mind, it is important to monitor the water quality of these local systems to determine potential impacts to both human health and ecosystem function. 43 COASTAL PLANNING & ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC. Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/16/2010 16-1-49 Typically, water quality degrades as the water warms and oxygen is not as readily dissolved in the water column. Furthermore, longer days allow for increased photosynthetic activity allowing for an increase in phytoplankton blooms. While often more problematic in the summer months, algal blooms are less common in the fall and winter when water temperature decreases. High levels of chlorophyll -a and nutrients along with increases in pH and turbidity may indicate the presence of an algal bloom. Throughout the course of this study, pH values were found to be within acceptable ranges (5.9 -9.0) as were turbidity values (with the exception of two individual samples). The lack of elevated pH and turbidity along with generally low chlorophyll -a levels indicate that algal blooms were generally not a problem. The chemical parameter nitrate /nitrite showed a marked difference between the tidal creeks located in proximity to the Intracoastal Waterway and the creeks flowing into the Cape Fear River. The nitrate /nitrite levels were approximately an order of magnitude lower in Pages Creek and Futch Creek, the two creeks draining into the ICW. Further study is required to determine the cause of this sharp difference in nitrate /nitrite levels within these creeks. Dissolved oxygen levels at a number of sites were below the State standard of 5.0 ml /1 in SA waters and 4.0 mg /1 in C Sw waters. Two sites within Pages Creek, PC -BDDS and PC -BDUS, experienced low dissolved oxygen during five (5) sampling events each. All five sites in Futch Creek experienced low dissolved oxygen during August. Several of the sites within Futch Creek also experienced low dissolved oxygen during the months between June and September when the water temperature was the warmest. Of the creeks draining into the Cape Fear River, Prince Georges Creek demonstrated the lowest dissolved oxygen most likely due to the physical setting surrounding the creek. PG -NC and PG -CH demonstrated low dissolved oxygen six (6) times of the twelve (12) times sampled. This portion of the creek is characterized by a broad shallow bank in a swamp -like setting. It is typical of swamps to contain low levels of dissolved oxygen and higher levels of pH, as observed. Therefore, the low dissolved oxygen observed in Prince Georges Creek, particularly at PG -NC and PG -CH could be regarded as a natural phenomenon. High levels of Enterococci bacteria persisted within all watersheds throughout the study period, with the exception of Lords Creek. Enterococci levels exceeded the State standard in individual sampling sites within Prince Georges Creek, Smith Creek, Pages Creek, Barnards Creek, Futch Creek, and Motts Creek 39 %, 50 %, 36 %, 50 %, 8 %, and 46% of the time, respectively. Along with Enterococci, fecal coliform bacteria were tested within Pages Creek and Futch Creek. A very high percentage of samples exceeded the single- sample NCDENR Shellfish Sanitation standard of 14 CFU/ 100ml within these creeks. In fact, 42% of all samples collected within Futch Creek exceeded this standard. Eighty -one percent (81%) of all samples collected within Pages Creek also exceeded this standard. Sources of nutrient and fecal bacteria pollutants can include fertilizers, septic system leachate, leaking sewer mains, wild and domestic animal wastes, and overland runoff (Spivey, 2008). In order to understand and manage fecal bacteria pollution in any body of water, one must first be able to identify the source of the pollution (Kelsey et al. 2004). Previous studies have concluded that increasing the amount of impervious surface coverage increases runoff, stream flow, and the amount of pollutants reaching surface waters (Griffin et al, 1990; Schueler, 1994, Mallin, 2001). Mallin et al. (2000) determined a strong correlation between impervious surface coverage and jrm COASTAL PLANNING & ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC. Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/16/2010 16-1-50 fecal coliform bacteria levels in New Hanover County. Higher impervious surface coverage was found to correlate with a higher geometric mean of fecal coliform bacteria within individual watersheds. New Hanover County has experienced high rates of growth over the past several decades. Along with population increases, the associated development of buildings, roadways, and parking lots within the county has created increased areas of impervious surface coverage. These pollutants include hydrocarbons, bacteria, and nutrients including nitrogen. Major sources of anthropogenic nitrogen are fertilizer application, wastewater disposal and atmospheric deposition (Howarth and Marino, 2006). The conversion of natural landscapes to impervious surfaces removes the natural filtration capacity of the land, thereby facilitating increased concentration of pollutants migrating directly into waterways. A recent assessment of the impervious surface coverage within the watersheds of New Hanover County was performed (Hume, 2008). Impervious surface percentages were determined to be 10.1% in Prince Georges Creek watershed, 11.0% in Futch Creek watershed, 12.6% in Lords Creek watershed, in 13.5% Motts Creek watershed, in 16.9% Barnards Creek watershed, 21.9% in Smith Creek watershed, and 23.3% in Pages Creek watershed. Another potential source of degraded water quality could originate from failing sewage and septic systems. A source tracking study found bacteria originating from humans, ruminants, and canines within six (6) tidal creeks in New Hanover County (Spivey, 2008). In the New Hanover County Water Quality Monitoring Report 2008 -2009, it was reported that human borne fecal bacteria was also present within two (2) sites within Pages Creek. The source of this human- borne bacteria may be indicative of either sewer -line problems, septic system failures, or a general persistence in the bacteria itself (Spivey, 2008). New Hanover County and the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (CFPUA) have investigated the presence of abandoned septic tanks and malfunctioning sewage lift stations in proximity to Pages Creek. These efforts were inconclusive and high levels of Enterococci bacteria and fecal coliform persist within these sites. Failing sewage infrastructure may have contributed to declining water quality within several of the County's watersheds over recent years. Between June 2009 and June 2010 alone, the CFPUA reported a total of twenty -five (25) sewage spills within New Hanover County. A total of 145,011 gallons were spilled during these events with 132,155 gallons reaching surface waters (Ricks, pers. Comm.). A relatively large spill into Smith Creek occurred on June 2, 2010 and accounted for 120,000 gallons of the spill total for the year. As noted above in Table 22, three (3) of the five (5) sites monitored within Smith Creek exceeded the State standard for Enterococci on a regular basis. Thirteen (13) of the twenty -five (25) spills reported between June 2009 and June 2010 were attributed by material (including grease, paper, and baby wipes) clogged in sewer lines. The remaining twelve (12) spills were attributed to pipe failures, power failures, and severe natural conditions. The CFPUA is engaged in a number of sewer infrastructure improvement projects along the Ogden interceptor and other locations to help resolve these issues. In order to minimize future spills, the CPFUA has initiated a public awareness campaign focused on educating its customers on what materials, if flushed into a toilet, could be problematic to the wastewater infrastructure. w COASTAL PLANNING & ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC.

Upon approval, the study would be funded through the Beach Renourishment Fund. The result of the study will be a permit contingency plan that would allow the County to seek alternatives for its own beach renourishment projects. The Board approved the request to consider a feasibility study and a Request for Qualification (RFQ) was issued. Five firms responded and submitted their qualifications for consideration. Based on the qualification package and interview outcomes with the evaluation committee, Coastal Planning & Engineering of North Carolina, Inc. (CPE -NC) was the recommended selection by the evaluation committee. The report submitted by CP &E will give the County a better understanding of possible permitting and funding options. The report will include the benefits and risks associated with assuming partial or complete financial responsibility for these shoreline protection projects. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Staff requests that the County Commissioners select the Evaluation Committee's recommended firm, CPE - NC, and begin negotiations to enter into a contract to prepare the permit contingency plan report for an amount not to exceed $93,270 with funds from the Beach Renourishment Fund from Room Occupancy Tax revenue.
