The town is requesting funding of$499,000 from the County in the form of a loan where principal would be repaid through additional tax revenues over 59 months rather than a through a traditional repayment method. The proposed additional tax revenues would come from property taxes, sales taxes, and room occupant' taxes generated through the additional investment. The Town has also suggested repayment to the County through traditional methods if the anticipated tax revenues are not generated at the end of 59 months.

It is an exciting position and you have established yourself as a leader in the community. I wish you the very best in your endeavors. As you know, Carolina Beach Mayor, Bob Lewis requested a park grant from the County in April. The proposal was seeking a win-win with New Hanover County if the County followed your recommendation to sell identified surplus park land. The understanding, from Carolina Beach's point of view, was the sale of assets would provide funds whereby the Northern Park and the Boardwalk Park could be funded. These assumptions changed when the Board of County Commissioners decided not to sell the property. Upon learning of this position, the Mayor altered Carolina Beach's request, which he communicated to the Board of Commissioners. The idea provides for a loan from New Hanover County to Carolina Beach within an economic development format. Several Commissioners expressed interest and suggested communication of these ideas for your understanding as well. Carolina Beach's definition of economic development for this purpose is the increase of jobs, property tax, income tax, sales tax, revenue stamps, and the multiplier effect on existing businesses. Certainly there is a quality of life component but not definable for this purpose. I will expound on this in an attempt for clarification so that all parties know how it would work. Boardwalk Project: The Boardwalk at Carolina Beach is approximately 800 feet long, running from Charlotte northward to Harper. An expansion of 800 feet will extend it northward to Pelican. The project is broken into phases, the new section (phase 1) and improvements to the current section (phase 11). Phase I, utilizing existing grants and Town fund balance, will start in the fall (after the summer season). The grants consist of water resources and CAMA grants. A PARTF grant was lost from the previous Pier Project. The Town is asking for a loan from New Hanover County with economic development features to be discussed later. A description of the Boardwalk project is attached. How would it work: An inter-local agreement would provide for a loan of $499,000. The Town would pay the County interest only annually for 59 months at the County's annual average investment Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/19/2013 9- 1 - 1 interest earnings rate. The economics generated from this project will provide additional measurable revenue to the County in property, sales, and occupancy taxes. These increases would accumulate to pay the County back in addition to the interest the Town pays each year. When the excess revenues accumulate more than the loan amount the loan would be satisfied. If the measurement indicates activity does not accumulate then the Town would pay the balance in lump sum. Carolina Beach seeks the County as a partner to move this project forward. The expectation is additional taxes will benefit the County, Carolina Beach, the other municipalities, and state and federal government. The agreement is designed to hold the County harmless. Economic activity benefits the County in property taxes for new taxable property, sales tax (73% of local return), and room occupancy tax (the portion used only for county-side promotion). The point is to seek a win-win as partners in economic development with the added bonus underneath it is quality of life in the County. Carolina Beach is working to secure a major hotel as part of this effort. Additional activity, measured by sales tax generation in Carolina Beach is expected. This is difficult to measure as the State Department of Revenue does not report sales by zip codes. The Town would have to rely on sales as reported in room occupancy reports to determine increased sales. We will strive to achieve measurement from the State but if we are unsuccessful the measurement will not include it; meaning it will be very conservative (to the County's benefit). We believe the increases from the hotel alone provides sufficient economic impact generation but in any case the County is held harmless. Revenue stamps and inspection revenues are other revenues that will benefit the County as Carolina Beach percolates upward. The chart below illustrates a conservative approach to the accumulation. New Hanover County Benefit Table FY14 FY15 FY16 FY17 FY18 Realization 4 20% 50% 100% 100% 100% Sales Tax - 38,288 76,576 76,576 76,576 Property Tax 15,512 38,780 77,560 77,560 77,560 ROT 0 0 48,000 48,000 48,000 Yearly 15,512 77,068 202,137 202,137 202,137 Cumulative 15,512 92,580 294,717 496,853 698,990 So as you can see, there is a return on investment. This continues beyond the FY18 time frame (20+ years) but is illustrated just for purposes of the pay-back period. I have included a description of the project that provides more of the vision and wow of this project. Recent investment by the community into beach access wheel chairs further illustrates the commitment to a full family access and use of this treasured asset. Carolina Beach already provides a positive economic impact, especially through sales tax generation, as it held 43 events just last year. The Boardwalk enhancement will serve to improve on these efforts as Carolina Beach continues to seek improvement in its delivery of opportunity to the community. So Chris, please give thought to this project. Your support will go a long way in making this a reality. Just imagine how families will enjoy these amenities. I know you know first-hand as you have had the pleasure of living here in Carolina Beach. The one-mile loop trail will become a much talked about exercise option that links harbor activities, beach access, and the unique commercial features Carolina Beach downtown has to offer and seeks to improve. This is the partnership opportunity that I believe you and the Board of County Commissioners are seeking. Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/19/2013 9- 1 -2 I will only be here a short while longer but would love to talk about this further if you have interest. Time really is of the essence as one of the water resources grants has an expiration this fall. Thanks for your consideration.

This is a request for a $499,999 loan, in which the County would not directly be paid back any principal, but rather would be repaid through additional property tax revenues that it receives due to a new $14 million hotel being constructed near the boardwalk at Carolina Beach. I understand the benefits from this hotel and am happy to hear about this endeavor. With the current arrangement proposed by Carolina Beach, the County will not truly receive a repayment of the $499,999, but instead will be contributing $499,999 to the boardwalk project. This is not an option that I would recommend to the Board for several reasons: • Tax revenues generated from additional development surrounding the boardwalk would be available regardless of whether the County contributes to the boardwalk renovation project. • Other projects that municipalities, authorities and organizations are taking on could also benefit from County contributions. If a contribution to this project is approved, this approval would set a precedence that other organizations would expect to see as well. • This proposal directly impacts the County's unassigned fund balance. The $499,999 contribution would decrease our unassigned fund balance, which in turn affects the County's compliance with the adopted unassigned fund balance policy. The County has partnered with various municipalities and authorities in the past to complete certain projects. The County has recently partnered with the Airport Authority to advance funding for the construction of a rental car facility. The County can negotiate a similar arrangement with Carolina Beach rather than contributing County fund balance to the project: • The County could offer advancing $499,999 to Carolina Beach while they secure traditional financing through a bank loan. The County can create an interlocal agreement with Carolina Beach to facilitate this advance until Carolina Beach secures its own financing which would include approval from the Local Governmg%raCg -49igAnerTkcr yment of the advance would be 08/19/2013 9-2- 1 expected within six months. This option could provide more immediate funds for the boardwalk project. Alternatively, the County could advance the needed $499,999 to Carolina Beach and subsequently borrow the $499,999 when it borrows funds for its own needs. Under this arrangement, the County would require repayment from Carolina Beach based on the County repayment schedule secured for its own loan. o The County would require the full repayment of principal, interest and any associated closing costs with the debt. o The County anticipates borrowing funds in November of 2013 with the first payment due in May of 2014. This would allow Carolina Beach approximately 9 months of no payments. I believe these options would assist Carolina Beach in completing its boardwalk project while offering assistance in a manner that is consistent with other partnerships the County has created. These options also leave the County's fund balance unaffected.

ER funds must be used to address the most critical housing needs of very low income households residing in the unincorporated county. The amendment proposes to reallocate funds from reconstruction to relocation assistance. Reconstructing a house on the existing parcel is no longer an option due to a conflict in ownership. As a result, the beneficiary will have to be permanently relocated to a different parcel. Relocation assistance will involve the construction of a house on the newly identified parcel. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: Intelligent Growth and Economic Development • Implement plans for land use,economic development,infrastructure and environmental programs • Understand and act on citizen needs • Deliver value for taxpayer money RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Conduct a public hearing in accordance with CDBG regulations, request approval of the amendment by the Board of County Commissioners, and authorize the Chairman to sign the required documents to be submitted to the North Carolina Department of Commerce,Division of Community Assistance for final approval.

However, when a complete title search was conducted for the parcel at 8921 Stephens Church Road, it was revealed that the parcel was heir property. The CDBG-ER beneficiary living in the existing house was one of several heirs. One of the heirs was not in agreement to convey her interest in the property so that the CDBG-ER beneficiary would have sole interest in the parcel as required. Given the dilapidated condition of the existing house, the beneficiary must be relocated. Land within the existing community has been conveyed to the beneficiary. In order to address the unmet housing need and minimize displacement, County staff is proposing to construct a house on the beneficiary's recently acquired land. The County is requesting $100,000 from the CDBG-ER Reconstruction budget line item be reallocated to the Relocation Assistance budget line item. The County is also requesting your approval of the Budget and Program Amendment to address the unmet housing need of this very low income beneficiary. The required documentation is enclosed for your review and approval. Thank you for your consideration of this request.

However, a thorough title search it was revealed that one of the three beneficiaries did not have clear title to the property where he resided. The search revealed that the property was heir property. The fact that a house could not be reconstructed on the parcel because of the title issue, to still be able to address the beneficiary unmet housing need, the County wants to provide relocation assistance to the beneficiary. The original total amount budgeted for the reconstruction of the three houses was$300,000.00. One hundred thousand dollars ($100,000-00) was budgeted to reconstruct each house. The County is requesting that $100,000.00 is transferred from reconstruction to relocation.

In 1993 continuing closures of shellfishing waters in the County led to the initiation of two tidal creek monitoring programs funded separately by the City of Wilmington and New Hanover County. New Hanover County currently contracts with Coastal Planning and Engineering (CP&E) to monitor water quality on seven creeks within the unincorporated area of the County. The creeks monitored include Barnards, Futch, Lords, Motts, Pages, Prince George and Smith Creek. At each monitoring station, water quality samples are collected and analyzed for biological, chemical and physical parameters. The purpose of the monitoring is twofold: 1) to protect public health, and 2) to gage the overall health of the creek and respond appropriately to declining trends in water quality. To further analyze data, County staff facilitate a quarterly meeting with a Water Quality Task Force to review County data and collaborate on data monitored throughout New Hanover County by partner agencies. The purpose of this presentation is for County staff and CP&E staff to present data from the FY 12-13 monitoring program as well as trends from past monitoring years.

Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/19/2013 14- 1 - 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report represents the results of the New Hanover County Water Quality Monitoring Program between July 2012 and June 2013. 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 was deemed to be "good" in all creeks with the exception of Pages Creek and Prince Georges Creek where their levels, on average, was considered to be "poor". Generally, Enterococci was problematic within a number of these watersheds. Five of the watersheds were rated as "poor" including Barnards Creek, Motts Creek, Pages Creek, Prince Georges Creek, and Smith Creek. Futch Creek and Lords Creek were deemed "good" and "fair", respectively. Fecal coliform, another indicator of bacterial contamination, was assessed monthly within Pages Creek and Futch Creek. These creeks generally exceeded the State shellfish standard for fecal coliform bacteria resulting in "poor ratings".

In general, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and chlorophyll-a levels oscillate on a seasonal basis. Water quality, as it relates to these parameters, generally decreases during the warmer months when the i COASTAL PLANNING&ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC. Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/19/2013 14- 1 -2 water temperatures increase. However, during the cooler months, when the water temperature drops, these parameters improve. Since 2007, dissolved oxygen levels exceeded the State standard within surface samples 37%, 29%, 21%, and 10% of the time within Prince Georges Creek, Pages Creek, Futch Creek, and Motts Creek, respectively. Dissolved oxygen levels were better within Smith Creek and Lords Creek as both creeks exceeded the dissolved oxygen standard 4% of the time. Barnards Creek breached the standard only 1% of the times sampled. Enterococci bacteria has been a chronic problem within several of the creeks monitored in this study. Since November 2007, samples collected within Motts Creek, Barnards Creek, and Smith Creek exceeded the State standard for Enterococci 52%, 46%, and 41% of the time, respectively. Prince Georges Creek exceeded this standard 31% of the time while Pages Creek exceed the standard 27% of the time. The least amount of exceedences were observed in Lords Creek and Futch Creek which exceeded the standard 9% and I%, respectively. Turbidity and chlorophyll-a were not problematic in any creeks. Since sampling began, only 16 exceedences of the chlorophyll-a standard were observed of the 1325 samples collected. The turbidity standard was only breached three times in total; two from within Smith Creek and one within Pages Creek. Source Tracking As a supplement to the regular monthly water quality monitoring, a separate sampling effort was undertaken to determine the source of bacterial contamination within four sites that had demonstrated chronic high levels of enterococcus bacteria. These sites included Motts Creek at Normandy Drive (MOT-ND), Smith Creek at Candlewood Drive (SC-CD), and Pages Creek at Bayshore Drive Upstream and Bayshore Drive Down Stream (PC-BDUS and PC-BDDS). Six sampling events were conducted through the course of this study, all following significant rain events. A trio of Bacteroides-based molecular markers were quantified in order to assess the potential for the presence of human fecal contamination at the four sites studied. In this study, 88% (21 of 24) of the site/storm dates yielded strongly positive results for at least two (2) of the three (3) human fecal contamination markers indicating that there is a strong likelihood for the presence of human fecal contamination within the four sites tested. ii COASTAL PLANNING&ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC.

Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/19/2013 14- 1 -7 1.0 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 (Odum 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. Furthermore, the County's population in 2012 was estimated to be 206,359 and is expected to grow at a rate of 1.2% over the next 5 years (NC Division of Commerce, Labor, and Economic Analysis Division, 2013). To address these issues that impact water quality, the County, since 1993, has administered a long-standing water quality monitoring program 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 in November 2007. The information presented in this report represents the results of this monitoring between the months of July 2012 and June 2013. 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 08/19/2013 14- 1 -8 Table 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 INC Administrative Code, section 15A NCAC 213 .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 08/19/2013 14- 1 - 10 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. 1.1 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. Salini : 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. 4 COASTAL PLANNING&ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC. Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/19/2013 14- 1 - 11 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. 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. Turhidity: 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 Omen: 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. 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 Coliform: 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- 5 COASTAL PLANNING&ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC. Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/19/2013 14- 1 - 12 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. Enterococci: 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. 1.2 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 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/1OOml, 158 CFU/1OOml, 276 CFU/1OOml, and 501 CFU/1OOml 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/1OOml. 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 four days a month during the swimming season. Single sample standards for Tiers I, II, and III are 104 CFU/1OOml, 276 CFU/1OOml, and 500 CFU/1OOml, respectively (Table 4). A geometric mean of 35 CFU/1OOml 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, two (2) could be considered Tier II and seventeen (17) could be considered Tier III. 6 COASTAL PLANNING&ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC.

These seven creeks are primarily located in the unincorporated portion of New 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/). Due to time constraints, monthly sampling events were conducted on three subsequent days each month. Lords Creek, Motts Creek, and Barnards Creek were visited on the first sampling day while Smith Creek and Prince Georges Creek were visited the second day. Futch Creek and Pages Creek were visited on the third day. Rainfall totals for the 24 hours prior to each sampling event were obtained from observations recorded at Wilmington International Airport as reported by NOAA's National Weather Service web site (http://www.srh.noaa.gov/data/RAH/RTPRAH). 2.1 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 = 0.1m) 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. 2.2 Biological Parameters Water samples were obtained for the laboratory analysis of 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 = 0.1m). Water samples were placed 8 COASTAL PLANNING&ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC. Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/19/2013 14- 1 - 15 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: Chlorophyll-a: SM 10200H Fecal Coliform: SM 9222D Enterococci: EnterolertE 2.3 Source Tracking Water samples were collected at each of the four sites during or directly following six storm events. Subsamples were collected for the quantification of Enterococci bacteria and for batch analysis using well described molecular methods to determine the source of the bacteria. Samples of 100ml were filtered in triplicate through 0.45 µm polycarbonate filters and frozen at - 20 C and delivered to UNC Chapel Hill EMS within two weeks of sample collection. The filters were subjected to the following molecular analyses: 1. Fecal Bacteroides gPCR (Converse et al. 2009) 2. BacHum analyses (Kildare et al. 2007) 3. Human specific marker for Bacteroides (HF183, Layton et al. 2013) Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (gPCR) methods were used to conduct the Bacteroides assays: • Fecal Bacteroides gPCR assay (Converse et al. 2009) relies on Taqman chemistry and all the reagents are in a liquid formulation, except the OmniMix. The assay quantifies a cohort of bacteria found in high concentrations in the human gut, including Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, Bacteroides distastonis, and Bacteroides fragilis. However, the method is not human specific. The assay has been tested against a range of different fecal samples types, and has been shown to be capable of quantifying over a wide range of concentrations, and to be sensitive at concentrations relevant to water quality source tracking studies. When using the gPCR approach for fecal Bacteroides, strong relationships have been observed with a wide array of human sewage collected from areas on both east and west US coastlines. The assay is highly sensitive and the target bacteria that are enumerated have been shown to be a predictor of human health in both sand and recreational waters (Wade et. al. 2011, Heaney et al. 2011) during large-scale EPA-run epidemiology studies. This is a fully quantitative gPCR-based assay that is being used in an array of studies in stormwater contaminated areas and that, with the use of other additional confirmatory methods, can be used to both identify potential hot spots of human fecal contamination (Converse et al, 2009). • BacHum Human Marker: A separate gPCR assay was utilized to quantify the BacHum molecular markers reported by Kildare et al., 2007. The assay has been widely tested for specificity against a range of fecal sample types and has shown high capacity for discrimination against human and animal fecal types (Ahmed et al., 2009). 9 COASTAL PLANNING&ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC. Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/19/2013 14- 1 - 16 • HF (human fecal) 183: Human specific marker by gPCR has been conducted previously by Bernhard and Field (2000) and updated by Seurinck et al., 2006. This assay is specific to a region of ribosomal rDNA within the Bacteroides spp. that is found almost exclusively in human feces. The assay has been tested repeatedly in a range of different environments for cross reactivity with other types of fecal material, and various researchers have found either a 90 to 100% ability to discriminate between human and animal feces when using this assay. The assay, however, can be problematic when used alone, because the target copy concentration in fecal material contributed to receiving water environments can be quite low due to dilution and the assay has a relatively low sensitivity. 3.0 RESULTS The results described in this report represent the physical, biological, and chemical data collected from all sampling sites on a monthly basis between July 2012 and June 2013. These results are organized by watershed. All raw data, including parameters not summarized in this section, are included in Appendix B. 3.1 Rating System In order to provide a quick-glance assessment of the water quality within a particular sampling station or watershed, a rating system for a number of parameters has been employed. 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. 3.2 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). Dissolved oxygen within BC-CBR ranged between 5.0 mg/l and 10.0 mg/l with a mean value of 7.4 mg/l (Table 6). These values were within an acceptable level above the State standard of 4.0 mg/l 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 1.0 ug/l and 6.0 ug/l with a mean value of 3.0 ug/l at BC-CBR (Table 6). These values did not approach the 40ug/l standard. 10 COASTAL PLANNING&ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC. Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/19/2013 14- 1 - 17 Enterococci ranged between 41 CFU/100ml and 1467 CFU/100ml with a geometric mean value of 292 CFU/100ml, which is above the NCDENR standard of 500 CFU/100ml for Tier III waters (Figure 4, Table 6). Four (4) of the twelve (12) samples collected during this period exceeded this standard. Turbidity values were generally good ranging between 0 and 32 NTU with a mean value of 10 NTU (Table 6). No observations exceeded the State standard of 50 NTU for C SW waters. Table 7 depicts the ratings for these parameters for the watershed.

The Futch Creek watershed encompasses approximately 3,136 acres extending from Scotts Hill Loop Road and Highway 17 on the north and east, to Porters Neck Road on the south. Zoning within the Futch Creek watershed is predominately residential with a small business district along Highway 17. The land within the Futch Creek watershed is classified as watershed resource protection or transition in the CAMA land use plan. This watershed contains 12 COASTAL PLANNING&ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC. Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/19/2013 14- 1 - 19 approximately 11.0% impervious surface coverage (Hume, 2009). Sampling was conducted at four(4) sites (FC-4, FC-6, FC-13, and FC-FOY)within the Futch Creek watershed (Figure 5). Dissolved oxygen within Futch Creek ranged between 3.1 mg/l and 11.3 mg/l with a mean value of 6.8 mg/l (Figures 6-9, Table 8). Chlorophyll-a ranged between 1.0 ug/l and 26.0 ug/l with a mean value of 3.0 ug/l (Table 8). None of these values approached the 40ug/l Chlorophyll-a standard. Enterococci ranged between 5 CFU/100ml and 474 CFU/100ml with a geometric mean value of 28 CFU/100ml. No samples collected within Futch Creek exceeded the NCDENR Enterococci standard of 500 CFU/100ml for Tier III waters (Figures 10-13, Table 8). The geometric mean of fecal coliform in Futch Creek was 28 CFU with a range of 5 to 3800 CFUs. This geometric mean was above the NCDENR Shellfish Sanitation single-sample standard of 14 CFU/100ml (Table 8). Thirty-eight percent (38%) of all samples analyzed for fecal coliform levels exceeded 43 CFU/100ml. The State standard requires "no more than 10% of samples shall exceed 43 CFU/100m1)". Turbidity values were generally low ranging between 0 and 28 NTU with a mean value of 4 NTU (Table 8). One observation exceeded the State standard of 25 NTU for SA waters. Table 9 depicts the ratings for these parameters for the watershed. 13 COASTAL PLANNING&ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC.

Zoning within the Pages Creek watershed is predominately residential, with commercial zoning along Highway 17. The land within the Pages Creek watershed is predominately classified as watershed resource protection and conservation, with a small portion classified as transitional according to the CAMA land use plan. This watershed contains approximately 23.2% impervious surface coverage (Hume, 2009). Sampling was conducted at three (3) sites (PC- BDDS, PC-BDUS, and PC-M)within the Motts Creek watershed (Figure 22). Dissolved oxygen within Pages Creek ranged between 2.2 mg/l and 12.4 mg/l with a mean value of 6.5 mg/(Table 14) (Figures 23 through 25). Chlorophyll-a ranged between 1.0 ug/l and 37.0 ug/l with a mean value of 6.0 ug/l (Table 14). No samples exceeded the State standard of 40 ug/l for chlorophyll-a. Enterococci ranged between 5 CFU/100ml and 24196 CFU/100ml with a geometric mean value of 184 CFU/100ml (Figures 26-28, Table 14). While samples collected from PC-M did not contain high levels of Enterococci, six (6) and nine (9) samples from PC-BDDS and PC-BDUS, respectively, contained levels higher than the NCDENR standards. Fecal coliform levels ranged between 5 CFU/100ml and 35,000 CFU/100ml with a geometric mean of 199 CFU/100ml (Table 14). Fecal coliform levels exceeded the NCDENR Shellfish Sanitation single-sample standard of 14 CFU/100ml on eleven (11) and twelve (12) sampling 23 COASTAL PLANNING&ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC. Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/19/2013 14- 1 -30 events at PC-BDDS and PC-BDUS, respectively. This standard was breached at PC-M on three (3) occasions (Figures 26 through 28). Seventy-two percent (72%) of all samples analyzed for fecal coliform levels exceeded 43 CFU/100ml. The State standard allows "no more than 10% of samples shall exceed 43 CFU/100m1". Turbidity values were generally good ranging between 0 and 21 NTU with a mean value of 6 NTU (Table 14). None of the observed turbidity values exceeded the State standard of 25 NTU for class SA waters. Table 15 depicts the ratings for these parameters for the watershed.

The Prince Georges Creek watershed is approximately 14,589 acres and drains most of Castle Hayne, extending eastward across I-40 into the Blue Clay Road area. Zoning within the Prince Georges Creek watershed is predominately residential with some business and light industrial districts within Castle Hayne. Most of the land within the Prince Georges Creek watershed is classified as aquifer resource protection, conservation or transition according to the CAMA land use plan. This watershed contains approximately 10.1% impervious surface coverage (Hume, 2009). Sampling was conducted at three (3) sites (PG-CH, PG-ML, and PG-NC) within the Prince Georges Creek watershed (Figure 29). Dissolved oxygen within Prince Georges Creek ranged between 0.6 mg/l and 9.8 mg/1 with a mean value of 4.8 mg/1 (Table 16). Surface dissolved oxygen values at PG-CH and PG-NC were below the State standard of 4.0 mg/l for C Sw during three (3) and six (6) sampling events, respectively. PG-ML was below the standard on two (2) occasions (Figures 30 through 32). Chlorophyll-a ranged between 0.0 ug/l and 20.0 ug/l with a mean value of 4.0 ug/l (Table 16). No samples from PG-CH exceeded the 40ug/1 standard. Enterococci ranged between 35 CFU/100ml and 2420 CFU/100ml with a geometric mean value of 563 CFU/100ml (Table 16). During this study, six (6) and seven (7) samples from PG-CH and PG-ML, respectively, contained Enterococci levels above the NCDENR standard of 500 27 COASTAL PLANNING&ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC. Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/19/2013 14- 1 -34 CFU/100ml for Tier III waters. Two (2) samples from PG-NC exceeded this value during the same time period (Figures 33 through 35). Turbidity values were generally good ranging between 0 and 39 NTU with a mean value of 6 NTU (Table 16). No observed turbidity values exceeded the State standard of 50 NTU for C Sw waters.

The watershed drains land within the City limits and the unincorporated County, including the Wilmington International Airport. Zoning within the Smith Creek watershed is a mix of industrial, residential, and commercial. The land within the watershed is predominately classified as urban and transition, with a small portion classified as conservation. This watershed contains approximately 21.9% impervious surface coverage (Hume, 2009). Along with increased development and impervious surfaces, water quality in Smith Creek has declined in recent years. High bacteria levels have been reported, as well as low dissolved oxygen levels. As a result, Smith Creek has been listed on the 303(d) list for impaired waters due to impaired biological integrity. Sampling was conducted at five (5) sites (SC-CH, SC-23, SC-NK, SC-GR, SC-CD)within the Smith Creek watershed (Figure 36). Dissolved oxygen within the creek ranged between 3.6 mg/l and 11.4 mg/l with a mean value of 7.5 mg/l (Table 18). Dissolved oxygen levels within SC-CH and SC-NK fell below State standard of 4.0 mg/l for C Sw waters on one occasion. No other sampling sites within Smith Creek below the standard (Figures 37 through 41). Chlorophyll-a ranged between 0.0 ug/l and 43.0 ug/l with a mean value of 6.0 ug/l (Table 18). One sample exceeded the State Standard for chlorophyll-a. Enterococci ranged between 41 CFU/100ml and 60000 CFU/100ml with a geometric mean value of 526 CFU/100ml (Table 18). A number of samples exceeded the NCDENR standard of 500 31 COASTAL PLANNING&ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC. Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/19/2013 14- 1 -38 CFU/100ml for Tier III waters including ten (10) from SC-CD and nine (9) from SC-GR. Five (5) samples from SC-NK exceeded the standard while four (4) samples and three (3) samples exceeded the standard from SC-CH and SC-23, respectively (Figures 42 through 46). Turbidity values were generally good ranging between 0 and 66 NTU with a mean value of 10 NTU (Table 18). One observation exceeded the State standard of 50 NTU for SW class C waters.

Smith Creek, Motts Creek, and Barnards Creek demonstrates "good" water quality with the exception of Enterococci, which was in the"poor" category. Lords Creek was deemed "good" for all parameters with the exception of "fair" for Enterococci. Pages Creek and Prince Georges Creek demonstrated "good" ratings for turbidity and Chlorophyll-a along with "poor" ratings for dissolved oxygen and Enterococci. Futch Creek contains "good" ratings for all parameters with the exception of fecal coliform which, along with Pages Creek, was determined to be "poor". 36 COASTAL PLANNING&ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC.

Several of the historical monitoring sites continue to be utilized for the ongoing monitoring effort. In order to assess the long term trends in water quality, a database has been created to include the all data collected within the seven (7) tidal creeks under current investigation. Prior to 2007, UNCW collected data within three (3) of the tidal creeks included in the present study. These include Pages Creek, Futch Creek, and Smith Creek. Accordingly, the data from these three creeks dating to 2004 has been incorporated in the analysis of long term trends. The long term trends from the remaining creeks (Motts Creek, Lords Creek, Prince Georges Creek, and Barnards Creek) have been derived from data obtained between November 2007 through June 2013. For each parameter examined, data was plotted on a line graph over time and a trend line was created. Trend lines, also known as regression lines, can be used as a way of visually depicting the relationship between the independent (x) and dependent (y) variables in the graph. In this case the independent variable is time and the dependent variable is the water quality parameter. A trend in water quality is defined as an increase or decrease in a particular constituent concentration over time. Statistical analysis was not performed; therefore the significance of these long term trends should be interpreted with caution. 3.10.1 Dissolved Oxygen Figures 47-53 depicts the long term trends in dissolved oxygen within the seven (7) creeks examined within this study. The figures illustrate a distinct seasonal pattern including higher dissolved oxygen during the cooler winter months and lower dissolved oxygen during the warmer summer months. Generally speaking, the dissolved oxygen levels within each creek have not changed drastically from year to year. The apparent increasing trend line associated with Smith Creek is not necessarily representative of an actual improvement in dissolved oxygen levels due to the fact that sampling was only conducted seasonally between 2004 and 2006 thereby skewing the data. Since 2007, dissolved oxygen levels exceeded the State standard within surface samples 37%, 29%, 21%, and 10% of the time within Prince Georges Creek, Pages Creek, Futch Creek, and Motts Creek, respectively. Dissolved oxygen levels were better within Smith Creek and Lords Creek as both creeks exceeded the dissolved oxygen standard four (4%) of the time. Barnards Creek breached the standard only one (1%) of the times sampled. 37 COASTAL PLANNING&ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC.

In general, the long term trend of turbidity has remained fairly constant within each creek on an annual basis, however seasonal patterns emerge. This includes higher turbidity observations during the warmer months and lower turbidity during the cooler months. The trends within Futch Creek, Lords Creek, Motts Creek, and Smith Creek have demonstrated a slight decrease in turbidity over time while turbidity in Prince Georges Creek has increased slightly. Turbidity within Barnards Creek and Pages Creek have maintained roughly the same level of turbidity since 2007, however, these long term turbidity trends have not been verified to be statistically significant. Turbidity has remained within the State standard within all sampling sites included within this long term analysis. 16 Barnards Creek Turbidity (Surface) 14 - 12 - Z 10 - 6 - 4 . .......... 2 —T I T_j _I I 0 -T- T- I T-1 I TP I I I I 4) 4 ,,, Xs' Figure 54.

The opposite trend was observed within Futch Creek and Lords Creek where relatively low Enterococci levels appear to have decreased over time. High levels of Enterococci have persisted within Prince Georges Creek, Smith Creek, and Motts Creek over time. Since November 2007, samples collected within Motts Creek, Barnards Creek, and Smith Creek exceeded the State standard for Enterococci 52%, 46%, and 41% of the time, respectively. Prince Georges Creek exceeded this standard 31% of the time while Pages Creek exceed the standard 27% of the time.

Long term Enterococci data within Smith Creek 3.11 Source Tracking In this study, 88% (21 of 24) of the samples collected yielded strongly positive results for at least two of the three human fecal contamination markers indicating that there is a strong likelihood for the presence of human fecal contamination. Methodological limitations prevented accurate quantification of the HF183 in a few instances, because the water sample collected and purified had to be diluted in order to gain a proper gPCR signal from the sample. This is called "gPCR inhibition". Inhibition is typically caused by large high molecular weight molecules such as humic and fulvic acids, which are present in high quantities in the Creeks studied here. Even though there was inhibition of the samples, 13% of the site/storm dates studied yielded positive results for all three of the human markers tested. Motts and Pages Creek(Figures 75, 76, and 77) were the locations (both upstream and downstream) that dominated the Fecal Bacteroides spp. concentrations with concentrations reported at both sites in excess of 100,000 CE/100 ml. Smith Creek was the only location for which the HF183 marker concentration exceeded 1000 50 COASTAL PLANNING&ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC. Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/19/2013 14- 1 -57 gene copies/100 ml (Figure 78). Two locations showed positive HF183 concentrations, although weak, within Smith Creek and the Upstream site at Page's Creek(Figure 77 and 78). Even when the HF183 marker was measured, it was measured at very low concentrations throughout this small study. For the BacHum based marker (see Kildare et al. 2007 for details), 96% of the samples were positive, ranging in concentrations from 53 to 102,881 gene copies/100 ml. Motts Creek exhibited some of the highest BacHum marker concentrations, along with the highest concentrations of this marker being observed during the April 29, 2013 storm event for all three sites. There was no statistical relationship between Bacteroides-based molecular markers and the Enterococcus concentrations or total rainfall, but this study includes a small sample size, upon which it is often difficult to conduct statistical analyses appropriately (p > 0.05, correlation analysis). This is a small study, and the sites were selected based upon previous historical data showing contamination. All of the sites indicate that human fecal contamination has the potential to pose a serious problem to these receiving waters. The storm on March 12, 2013 posed a methodological problem because the storm was so strong that the landscape was scoured resulting in high amount of inhibition in the water samples collected. This can be viewed as inhibition of the gPCR reaction conducted. To remedy this situation, the samples require either further purification or dilution to conduct full quantification. With dilution of the sample comes not only dilution of the inhibitory compounds, but also of course, dilution of the intended target, making it likely that false negatives can be reported when the samples could have contained some of the marker. Indeed, even with dilution of the sample to 1/125 of its original strength, inhibition was still being observed in the gPCR reaction. Based upon the data generated, and especially the concentrations of Fecal Bacteroides spp. and BacHum marker present during smaller rainfall events, it appears that all three Creeks exhibit the propensity to be conduits of human fecal contamination but delivery mechanisms for each of the creeks have not been elucidated. The patterns observed indicate a risk to public health. 1,000,000 100,000 II j�i II 1,000 Fecal Bacteroides spp.(CE/100 till) 100 ■BacHurn(gene copies/100 ml) t 1 HF183(gene copies/100 ml) 00 It M OT-N D M OT-N D M OT-N D M OT-N D M OT-N D M OT-N D Figure 75: Concentrations of molecular microbial source tracking markers Fecal Bacteroides spp., BacHum, and HF183 reported in either cell equivalents (CE)/100 ml or gene copies/100 ml from five storm events in Motts Creek at Normandy Drive.

One of the greatest threats to water quality in this area is stormwater runoff created by increased impervious surface coverage (Mallin et al., 2000). Due to many of the contaminants found in stormwater runoff, adverse effects can be imposed upon 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). The County's population in 2012 was estimated to be 206,359 and is expected to grow at a rate of 1.2% over the next 5 years (NC Division of Commerce, Labor, and Economic Analysis Division, 2013). Along with this population growth came increased stormwater runoff, increase in septic tanks, aging wastewater infrastructure, and other issues that potentially impacted 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. Typically, water quality degrades as the water temperature increases and oxygen is not as readily dissolved in the water column. This was observed while investigating the long term trends of water quality in this study. The dissolved oxygen along with chlorophyll-a and turbidity levels increased during the warmer summer months. 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 53 COASTAL PLANNING&ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC. Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/19/2013 14- 1 -60 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 as were turbidity values. The lack of elevated pH and turbidity along with generally low chlorophyll-a levels indicate that algal blooms were generally not a problem. In fact, no algal blooms were identified within any sampling site during the course of this study. A number of sites contained dissolved oxygen levels below the State standard during the course of this 12-month study, although no samples collected within Barnards Creek, Lords Creek, or Motts Creek dropped below this level. The majority (71%) of the samples that fell below the State standard were collected during June, July, and August when water temperatures were the highest. The lowest dissolved oxygen, on average, was observed at PG-NC where the standard was breached six (6) of twelve (12) sampling events. 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, could be regarded as a natural phenomenon. Along with Prince Georges Creek, Pages Creek experienced relatively low dissolved oxygen within the two sampling sites located in the Bayshore neighborhood. PC- BDDS and PC-BDUS both exceeded the standard four (4) of the twelve (12) sampling events over this past monitoring year. High levels of Enterococci bacteria persisted within five (5) of the seven (7) watersheds throughout the study period. Samples collected from Futch Creek did not contain any samples with levels of Enterococci above the State standard while Lords Creek contained two (2) exceedences. Enterococci levels exceeded the State standard in individual sampling sites within Barnards Creek, Pages Creek, Smith Creek, Prince Georges Creek, and Motts Creek 33%, 42%, 52%, 56%, and 77% of the time, respectively. The sites with the most frequent high concentrations of Enterococci bacteria were located within Motts Creek at Normandy Drive and Smith Creek at Candlewood Drive where ten (10) of the twelve (12) samples obtained at each sample exceeded the State standard. Samples collected at SC-GR and PC-BDUS also contained high levels of Enterococci on a consistent basis as nine (9) of the twelve (12) sampling events exceeded the standard. 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, 40% of all samples collected within Futch Creek exceeded this standard. Seventy-two percent (72%) of all samples collected within Pages Creek also exceeded this standard. One potential source of the degraded water quality observed within several of the creeks monitored during this study 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 have been be indicative of either sewer-line problems, septic system failures, or a general persistence in the bacteria itself(Spivey, 2008). 54 COASTAL PLANNING&ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC. Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/19/2013 14- 1 -61 As mentioned above, persistent high levels of Enterococci bacteria have also been identified within the headwaters of Smith Creek and within Motts Creek. In order to address the chronic problems within Pages Creek, Smith Creek, and Motts Creek and to serve as a more in-depth study following the 2008 source tracking effort, a modified source tracking study was implemented by UNC-Chapel Hill's Dr. Rachel Noble during this monitoring year. The results of this study, as detailed above and in Appendix C, suggest that human fecal contamination has been present within all four sampling sites. Following the initial source tracking study in 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 continue to persist within these sites. Signage has been posted at the boat ramp on Bayshore Drive warning the public of a potential human health risk associated with swimming or wading in the creek. The homes in the Marquis Hills area, which is within the Motts Creek watershed, have historically had the highest rate of septic tank failure of any area in the County. Over 342 septic tanks have failed with costly repairs to citizens and environmental impacts to surface waters. Most likely, these failing septic tanks have been the cause of the human fecal contamination within the creek. In early May 2013, New Hanover County, in partnership with the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (CFPUA), accepted a loan to install sewer within the Marquis Hills subdivision which will permanently remove the need for septic systems. It has been recommended that future source tracking work should include sampling each site multiple times over the duration of storm events rather than collecting a single grab sample. This method would be used to determine if the source of the human fecal contamination is originating from runoff or from failing septic tanks or sewer infrastructure leading to the contamination of groundwater. 55 COASTAL PLANNING&ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC.

Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/19/2013 14- 1 -85 Final Report: Specific Quantitative Microbial Source Tracking Investigation in Wilmington, NC Dr. Rachel T. Noble, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill Contact Information: UNC Chapel Hill —Dr. Rachel Noble, Professor 3431 Arendell Street, Morehead City,NC 28557 July 3, 2013 1 Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/19/2013 14- 1 -86 Introduction The concept for this small-scale fecal contamination study was to use a trio of Bacteroidales based quantitative markers to confirm the presence of human fecal contamination and to quantify that contamination in a framework of other available environmental parameter and fecal indicator bacteria(FIB) data. This information is being interpreted in the context of available local knowledge to deduce possible mechanisms of fecal contamination delivery and transport dynamics. Bacteroides species are non-sporing, obligate anaerobes that are the numerically dominant bacteria in the human large intestine with up to 10''cells per gram of human feces. Previous research conducted by PI Noble has demonstrated a strong correlation between Bacteroides thetaiotamicron concentrations to respective human sewage influent amounts (Converse et al. 2009). We used three different Bacteroides based assays in order to determine the presence of human fecal or other contamination in the samples. For more methodological details see Converse et al. 2009, Kildare et al. 2007, and Layton et al. 2013). Study Areas Four sampling locations were identified by the Shaw Group as chronically contaminated during stormwater events, and as such were areas of concern. These four sites are: Motts Creek, Smith Creek, and an upstream and downstream location each in Pages Creek(Table 1). Table 1.

The Creek drains portions of Carolina Beach Road at its headwaters and then drains toward River Road before entering into the Cape Fear River. Zoning in the watershed is predominately residential with commercial business districts along Carolina Beach Road. Land in the watershed is classified as transition, conservation or wetland resource protection according to the CAMA land use plan. This watershed contains approximately 12.6%impervious surface coverage (Hume, 2009, Figure 2). Sampling was conducted at MOT-ND within the Motts Creek watershed between the months of August 2012 and April 2013. 2 Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/19/2013 14- 1 -87 NEWHANOVEf2 COUNTY NITS PROJECT LOCATION z1, - r r W+F � r 1.

Zoning within the Pages Creek watershed is predominately residential, with commercial zoning along Highway 17. The land within the Pages Creek watershed is predominately classified as watershed resource protection and conservation, with a small portion classified as transitional according to the CAMA land use plan. This watershed contains approximately 23.2% impervious surface coverage (Hume, 2009). Sampling was conducted at two sites (PC-BDDS, PC-BDDS) within the Pages Creek watershed(Figure 2). 3 Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/19/2013 14- 1 -88 NEW HANOVER COUNTY ED 4"� ¢ NTS PROJECT LOCATION n .E N t, W F x S NOTE LEGEND 1.AERIALS FROM NEW HANOVER COUNTY,2006 PAGES CREEK WATERSHED 0 2,500 6.000 SAMPLE LOCATIONS ®Feet 1 inch equals 5,000 feet Figure 2. Water Quality Sites within the Pages Creek Watershed Smith Creek Located in north-central New Hanover County and containing approximately 14,665 acres, the Smith Creek watershed drains into the lower northeast Cape Fear River,just north of the Isabelle Holmes Bridge. The watershed drains land within the City limits and the unincorporated County, including the Wilmington International Airport. Zoning within the Smith Creek watershed is a mix of industrial, residential, and commercial. The land within the watershed is predominately classified as urban and transition, with a small portion classified as conservation. This watershed contains approximately 21.9% impervious surface coverage (Hume, 2009). Along with increased development and impervious surfaces, water quality in Smith Creek has declined in recent years. High bacteria levels have been reported, as well as low dissolved oxygen levels. As a result, Smith Creek has been listed on the 303(d) list for impaired waters due to impaired biological integrity. One sampling location, SC-CD, was sampled over the duration of the project (Figure 3). 4 Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/19/2013 14- 1 -89 NEW HANOVER COUNTY rrr r NTS b PROJECT LOCATION i" q � 1 NOTE LEGEND 1.AERIAL PHOTOS FROM NEW HANOVER COUNTY,2006 0 4,000 8,000 SMITH CREEK WATERSHED Feet i SAMPLE LOCATIONS 1 inch equals 8,000 feet Figure 3. Water Quality Sites within the Smith Creek Watershed Sampling and Storm Event Analysis Approach: Sampling was conducted by Coastal Planning & Engineering over the course of six storm events at the four sites selected. Environmental data collected and rainfall data available electronically is presented in Table 2. Water samples were collected for enumeration via EnterolertTM, and additional samples were collected and filtered and processed aseptically (as guided by the Noble laboratory)by the Coastal Planning & Engineering for later batch analysis using well described molecular methods (see below). 100 ml sample volumes were filtered in triplicate through 0.45 µm polycarbonate filters and frozen at-20 C and delivered to UNC Chapel Hill EMS within two weeks of sample collection. The filters were subjected to the following molecular analyses: 1. Fecal Bacteroides gPCR(Converse et al. 2009) 2. BacHum analyses (Kildare et al. 2007) 3. Human specific marker for Bacteroides (HF183, Layton et al. 2013) Methodology: Bacteroides spp. comprise approximately one-third of the human fecal microflora, considerably outnumbering Enterococcus and E. coli. The Bacteroides group belongs to a group of non-spore-forming, gram-negative, obligate anaerobes, so there is little concern over regrowth 5 Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/19/2013 14- 1 -90 in the environment. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (gPCR) methods are used to conduct the Bacteroides assays: • Fecal Bacteroides gPCR assay (Converse et al. 2009) relies on Taqman chemistry and all the reagents are in a liquid formulation, except the OmniMix. The assay quantifies a cohort of bacteria found in high concentrations in the human gut, including Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, Bacteroides distastonis, and Bacteroides fragilis. However, the method is not human specific. The assay has been tested against a range of different fecal samples types, and has been shown to be capable of quantifying over a wide range of concentrations, and to be sensitive at concentrations relevant to water quality source tracking studies. When using the gPCR approach for fecal Bacteroides, strong relationships have been observed with a wide array of human sewage collected from areas on both east and west US coastlines. The assay is highly sensitive and the target bacteria that are enumerated have been shown to be a predictor of human health in both sand and recreational waters (Wade et. al. 2010, Heaney et al. 2012) during large-scale EPA-run epidemiology studies. This is a fully quantitative gPCR-based assay that is being used in an array of studies in stormwater contaminated areas and that, with the use of other additional confirmatory methods, can be used to both identify potential hot spots of human fecal contamination (Converse et al, 2009). • BacHum Human Marker: A separate gPCR assay was utilized to quantify the BacHum molecular markers reported by Kildare et al., 2007. The assay has been widely tested for specificity against a range of fecal sample types and has shown high capacity for discrimination against human and animal fecal types (Ahmed et al., 2009). • HF (human fecal) 183: Human specific marker by gPCR has been conducted previously by Bernhard and Field (2000) and updated by Seurinck et al., 2006. This assay is specific to a region of ribosomal rDNA within the Bacteroides spp. that is found almost exclusively in human feces. The assay has been tested repeatedly in a range of different environments for cross reactivity with other types of fecal material, and various researchers have found either a 90- to 100-percent ability to discriminate between human and animal feces when using this assay. The assay, however, can be problematic when used alone, because the target copy concentration in fecal material contributed to receiving water environments can be quite low due to dilution and the assay has a relatively low sensitivity. Results: The data generated over the course of this project is presented in Table 2. Very high concentrations of Enterococcus spp. occurred over the period of time sampled and the array of storm events captured, indicating a continued level of elevated concern about the microbial water quality of the waters in question. Enterococcus concentrations ranged from 66.8 to >24196 MPN/100 ml, with 96% of the samples exhibiting Enterococcus concentrations that exceeded EPA single sample standards for recreational waters (Table 2 and Figure 4). Enterococcus sp. concentrations are not available for samples collected on April 29, 2013. Rainfall amounts for the storms sampled ranged from 1.25 to 2.00 inches over the course of the study. These are rainfall amounts that are typical of storms in the Wilmington,NC area, and would not be expected to be categorized as an extreme event. 6 Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/19/2013 14- 1 -91 Table 2.

To interpret molecular microbial source tracking data, it is useful to cover a few terms used in the field as related to sensitivity and specificity. These Bacteroides-based markers have been selected based upon previous successfully conducted blind studies of human and animal fecal contamination quantification and discrimination, and for their coverage of a range of specificities and sensitivities. The Bacteroides-based methods chosen for this project have been recently included in a range of publications (Layton et al. 2013, Boehm et al. 2013, Stewart et al. 2013, Converse et al. 2009, Kildare et al. 2007, to name a few). These methods are well represented in the peer reviewed literature. The three assays cover a range of specificities for human fecal contamination. One way to look at specificity is to use a percentage attribution. That is, if 100 water sample containing human or animal fecal contamination were tested using each of the three assay, what is the number of samples upon which the correct discrimination between the two types of samples would have been made. For the Fecal Bacteroides spp., BacHum, and HF183 assays, the specificities increase across the trio from 85%, 92% and 96%respectively. Conversely, sensitivity is the chance that in a water sample containing human fecal contamination that the marker will be detectable or present. Sensitivity is the lowest for the HF183 assay, and increases strongly from the BacHum to the Fecal Bacteroides spp. assay. This means that while HF183 is the most specific to human fecal contamination, that there is danger in using it alone as a source tracking marker, because in some human fecal contamination, it will occur at such low concentrations that false negatives may occur. Alternatively, it would not be useful to base an entire source tracking study upon Fecal Bacteroides spp. quantification, because while it occurs in the highest concentrations in human fecal contamination of the three markers, it is the least specific. The importance of specificity and sensitivity cannot be understated because of implications of false negatives during real-world fecal contamination studies such as the one conducted here. False negatives are essentially a non-detect result or low concentration result that occurs on a sample due to methodological limitations. In a human fecal contamination source tracking study, a non-detect, or negative result can lead someone to believe that human fecal contamination was not present in water tested, when it the outcome could be a result of heterogeneity of the original water sample, an inappropriate sampling and concentration approach, or poor methodological constraints. Every effort has been made with this work to generate quantitative results on water samples collected, even those that pose methodological limitations such as gPCR. While a full discussion of false negatives and their implications is beyond the scope of this document, the reader can refer to a series of well written articles resulting from the Source Identification Pilot Project (SIPP)in the Journal of Water Research in the coming months in which PI Noble was a major participant (Layton et al. 2013, Stewart et al. 2013, Boehm et al. 2013). In previous studies conducted blindly on human and animal fecal contamination (HRSD AH Environmental Report 2012), all three markers measured in this study were positive and correctly identified human fecal contamination 100% of the time when applied in a similar manner. Based upon these results, and other results of blind studies conducted in the past five years, samples for which all three assays yield positive results are confirmed to contain at least some level of human fecal contamination. If two of the assays are positive, it is likely that there is the potential for human fecal contamination to have existed in the water sample. Finally, the 8 Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/19/2013 14- 1 -93 concentrations of the markers can be used to examine the levels of human fecal contamination in the water tested and to prioritize remediation strategies. In this study, 88% (21 of 24) of the site/storm dates yielded strongly positive results for at least 2 of the three human fecal contamination markers indicating that there is a strong likelihood for the presence of human fecal contamination. Methodological limitations prevented accurate quantification of the HF183 in a few instances, because the water sample collected and purified had to be diluted in order to gain a proper gPCR signal from the sample. This is called "gPCR inhibition". Inhibition is typically caused by large high molecular weight molecules such as humic and fulvic acids, which are present in high quantities in the Creeks studied here. Even though there was inhibition of the samples, 13% of the site/storm dates studied yielded positive results for all three of the human markers tested. Motts and Pages Creek(Figures 5, 6, and 7) were the locations (both upstream and downstream) that dominated the Fecal Bacteroides spp. concentrations with concentrations reported at both sites in excess of 100,000 CE/100 ml. Smith Creek was the only location for which the HF183 marker concentration exceeded 1000 gene copies/100 ml (Figure 8). Two locations very weakly positive HF183 concentrations (denoted as "positive but inhibited" in Table 2), Smith Creek and the Upstream site at Page's Creek(Figure 2B, C, and D). Even when the HF183 marker was measured, it was measured at very low concentrations throughout this small study (Table 2). For the BacHum based marker (see Kildare et al. 2007 for details), 96% of the samples were positive, ranging in concentrations from 53 to 102,881 gene copies/100 ml. Motts Creek exhibited some of the highest BacHum marker concentrations, along with the highest concentrations of this marker being observed during the April 29, 2013 storm event for all three sites. There was no statistical relationship between Bacteroides-based molecular markers and the Enterococcus concentrations or total rainfall, but this study includes a small sample size, upon which it is often difficult to conduct statistical analyses appropriately (p > 0.05, correlation analysis). This is a small study, and the sites were selected based upon previous historical data showing contamination. All of the sites indicate that human fecal contamination has the potential to pose a serious problem to these receiving waters. The storm on 3/12/2013 posed a methodological problem because the storm was so strong that the landscape was scoured resulting in high amount of inhibition in the water samples collected. This can be viewed as inhibition of the gPCR reaction conducted. To remedy this situation, the samples require either further purification or dilution to conduct full quantification. With dilution of the sample comes not only dilution of the inhibitory compounds, but also of course, dilution of the intended target, making it likely that false negatives can be reported when the samples could have contained some of the marker. Indeed, even with dilution of the sample to 1/125 of its original strength, inhibition was still being observed in the gPCR reaction. Based upon the data generated, and especially the concentrations of Fecal Bacteroides spp. and BacHum marker present during smaller rainfall events, it appears that all three Creeks exhibit the propensity to be conduits of human fecal contamination but delivery mechanisms for each of the creeks have not been elucidated. The patterns observed indicate a risk to public health. Five priorities for future efforts to characterize and quantify human fecal contamination at these three locations would be 1) assessment of the prevalence of the HF183 marker in septic tanks/distribution boxes within each watershed. It has been previously demonstrated that HF183 is a marker that is not always found in measurable concentrations in septage (Converse et al. 2009) in which case moving to a marker more useful for tracking septage based human fecal contamination would be useful, 2) further extraction and 9 Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/19/2013 14- 1 -94 purification of samples to remove inhibitory compounds, thereby improving sensitivity, 3) work to further assess the signal of fecal contamination over the duration of storms, instead of a single grab sample used to extrapolate to the entire storm, 4) focus on a single area, thereby permitting greater spatial coverage of sampling, and 5) some simple assessment of the role of groundwater and overland contamination delivery over a range of storm sizes will be useful. 1,000,000 100,000 s 10,000 �} �l'„ I's„ Igg, '},,'tt Dpltd 1,000 t }�� °s� �,� Fecal Bacteroides spp.{CE/100 l\I rill) 100 cif �11. �ti� ■BacHum(gene copies/100 ml) 10 t 6}�i 6}�i Dili 1t of r 1 HF183(gene copies/100 ml) MOT-hl D M OT-hl D M OT-hl D M OT-hl D M OT-hl D M OT-hl D Figure 5: Concentrations of molecular microbial source tracking markers Fecal Bacteroides spp., BacHum, and HF183 reported in either cell equivalents (CE)/100 ml or gene copies/100 ml from five storm events in Motts Creek at Normandy Drive.

The Middle Sound Greenway is currently funded to Oyster Lane; funds are requested to design, engineer, and construct an additional segment to connect to a new 47-unit townhouse development. The segment facility type will be an off road multi-use path (8') or sidewalk(6'). The developer is committed to providing$15,000 towards the bicycle/pedestrian connection and New Hanover County would contribute $7,500 for a total of$22,500 cash match. Problem Statement: Documented as early as 1987 in the Middle Sound Small Area Plan and most recently in the Wilmington-New Hanover County Greenway Plan, Middle Sound/Ogden area residents have ranked bicycle/pedestrian facilities as a high-priority. Twenty-six years later, the need still exists but to a greater degree as the area is mostly built out. This new development provides an opportunity for the installation of bicycle/pedestrian facilities from the onset instead of a potentially difficult retrofit and provides a financial contribution that can be leveraged by this funding. Additional cost savings and benefits may be realized as this project can be timed to coincide with the construction of the Middle Sound Greenway. 1 F' a g e Board of Commissioners Meeting 08/19/2013 15-2- 1 LRTP Status: a.

These activities may include phone calls to volunteers, data entry using proprietary software, organizing events,designing and making t shirts and designing and creating other graphic literature items.I also perform the regular duties of an OFA volunteer such as making phone calls at a phone bank and registering people to vote. 2010,2011 Hands Across the Sand I was one of 5 organizers of this event held at Wrightsville Beach which drew about 1000 participants in 2010.My specific part of the event involved organizing a park and ride lot where participants could park their cars and take a bus to the beach thereby eliminating the need for many people to park at the beach.All the busses were donated.To ensure safety we used NHCS drivers for the large busses and paid them their usual pay.I assumed the same organizing post for 2011. 1 was the only organizer from 2010 who returned to help organize the event in 2011. 2011 International Women's Day I conceived and organized an event to commemorate this international holiday.There had never been one in Wilmington before. I recruited two friends to assist. Despite breaking my wrist on my way to the event and having to go to the emergency room, the event went off beautifully,was fully covered by WECT TV, and will be an even better event next year at the request of the participants! 2012 International Women's Day Again,I conceived and organized this event to commemorate this international holiday.Unlike last year, I didn't have any help organizing the event Despite having had recent cervical spine surgery and was still living with a broken neck, I was able to organize the second annual International Women's Day for Wilmington, NC.I was incredibly blessed to find good friends to help distribute fliers and signs,but the organizing and planning was all done by me. The event on March 8,2012,went off beautifully with a larger, more diverse crowd than we had last year.All,but one of the Democratic women candidates for office in New Hanover County came to the event and mingled with the crowd.

Lenoir Street # 204 Raleigh,NC 27601 I served from 1989-1991.Learning Together was a state model of a pre-school of inclusion educating both children with developmental delays and physical handicaps in the same setting as "normal" children. The program is almost thirty years old. Technology advisor to the exhibits and building committees Alice Aycock Poe Health Education Center 224 Sunnybrook Rd. Raleigh,NC 27610 I worked with them for a year in my role as an Apple Education Consultant.They asked me to work with them as the building was being constructed to discuss the role that technology would play in their interactive exhibits and in the administrative work of the center. I worked with them from 1990 until they opened and I moved from the area in 1991. Today, over 850,000 children from 74 countries and ages pre- school through twelfth grade have visited the center to learn to live in a more healthy manner.

I taught second grade at Sunset Park and Wrightsboro Elementary School for eleven years.In all of those positions,I also taught many workshops to teachers on technology topics, especially on the integration of technology into the North Carolina Standard Course of Study. I was awarded two Bright Ideas grants from the North Carolina Energy Cooperatives and a grant from Intracoastal Realty. I was also awarded several PTO grants from the Wrightsboro PTO to fund classroom projects.I served on the Technology Teams of both Sunset Park and Wrightsboro Elementary,helping teachers and students with their technology problems.I also acted as the Technology Facilitator at both of those schools. April,1988 to August,1992 Apple Computer Raleigh,NC Educational Consultant I sold,setup and taught educators in 11 counties in North Carolina east of Raleigh how to use Macintosh computers.I worked with both K-12 and schools of higher education.I sold the first Macintosh computers to the New Hanover County Schools.In my capacity as an educational consultant I taught many workshops to teachers and administrators and made many presentations on the technology needs of school systems to school boards,parents, administrators, and teachers.
