PROTECTION OF THE NEW HANOVER COUNTY GROUND WATER SUPPLY:
A MODEL COMPREHENSIVE GROUND WATER PROTECTION PLAN
July 1, 1991 - June 30, 1992
FY 1991 205 (j) (1) Proposal to the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management
by
The Cape Fear Council of Governments
P.O. Box 1491
Wilmington, N.C. 28402
1-(919) 763-0191
June 30, 1991
I. BACKGROUND - General
For several years New Hanover County has recognized the need to
develop a comprehensive ground water protection plan to protect the
New Hanover County aquifer. In response to this need, New Hanover
County officials sponsored three studies concerning ground 'water
resources1. These studies provide (1) an analysis of the aquifer
geology (2) identification of sensitive aquifer areas that ne~d to
be protected and (3) recommended protective measures that should
be implemented. Despite the implications of these studies, New
Hanover County has not prepared, discussed or implemented a
comprehensi ve ground water protection plan. As a result, only
limited protection is being provided to sensitive aquifer areas in
New Hanover County.
This proposal is designed to directly improve protection of the New
Hanover County aquifer and (indirectly) surface waters for current
and future water needs by developing a Comprehensive Ground Water
Protection Plan for New Hanover County. Although this proposal is
targeted to New Hanover County, the Comprehensive Ground Water
Protection Plan and supporting ordinances will be applicable
statewide.
Council of Governments staff held meetings with and received input
from the Assistant New Hanover County Manager, the New Hanover
County Planning Director and local Department of Environmental
Management staff. In addition to the Council of Governments staff,
an advisory committee consisting of the Assistant New Hanover
County Manager and representatives from the New Hanover County
Planning Department will oversee the implementation of this
proposal. Also, the Council of Governments staff and the advisory
committee will coordinate with local Department of Environmental
Management staff to assure compliance with state policy and laws
regarding ground water and surface water resources.
The following people have read this proposal, are in agreement with
the proposal objectives and agree to serve on the Project Advisory
Committee:
Dave Weaver, Assistant County Manager,
New Hanover County )
Dexter Hayes, Director
New Hanover County Planning Department

II. PROJECT PROPOSAL
A. Need for Project
since 1970 New Hanover County has sustained a substantial
population and industrial rate of growth. New Hanover County's
water resources have been a major factor contributing to this
growth. There are two major drinking water sources in New Hanover
County: The Cape Fear River and the New Hanover County aquifer.
The City of Wilmington's municipal water system uses Cape Fear
River water exclusively, while New Hanover County's unincorporated
areas and the Town of Wrightsville Beach, Kure Beach and Carolina
Beach obtain water from the aquifer.
A report titled, Drinking Water In New Hanover County, published
by the New Hanover County Planning Department states that New
Hanover County has enough water for present and future use2.
However, as discussed below, this same report also documents that
there are some maj?r concerns relating to this water supply.
Cape Fear River Source
1. At the point of water intake by the city of wilmington, the
Cape Fear River Basin was classified as WS3 by the State of
North Carolina. The WS3 classification is the lowest possible
classification of surface water used for drinking waterJ.
2. A 1984 study performed by the School of Public Health at the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill indicated the Cape
Fear River basin was the second highest out of 17 North
Carolina river basins in terms of the number of factory or
sewer pipe discharges. There are 296 upstream point source
discharges above the city of Wilmington's water intake point4.
3. The Cape Fear River Basin was second highest out of 17 river
basins in terms of estimated annual use of agricultural
pesticides5.
4. Chlorination is the last step in Wilmington's water treatment
process. The City has encountered compliance problems with
trihalomethanes (THMs). THMs (which are carcinogenetic) are
formed by the reaction of chlorine with organic matter (e.g.
decayed vegetation). An epidemiological study by the National
Cancer Institute links significantly higher incidence of
bladder cancer with long term drinking of chlorinated surface
water6. The City of Wilmington has taken corrective measures
to comply with THM standards. Recently the City of Wilmington
passed a bond issue to improve its water treatment facilities.
This will enable the city to meet higher water quality
standards.
3
Ground Water Source
The New Hanover County ground water system consists primarily of
a surface aquifer, an unconfined aquifer and two deep confined
aquifers. The total amount of water available per day from these
aquifers is 71.7 million gallons. Presently 16.7 million gallons
of water are being used per day in New Hanover County from ground
water sources. Ten million gallons of water per day is not useable
due to pollution. This leaves a net of 45 million gallons' of
ground water per day for future expansion. The amount of useable
ground water available in New Hanover County is enough to sustain
a population 441,0007. The 1990 Census indicates that New Hanover
County has a population of 120,284.
The New Hanover County Planning Department report concludes that
the ground water is relatively free from pollution. However there
are areas of concern as listed below.
1. The Flemington area is located between the Northeast Cape Fear
River and the Cape Fear River. A lawsuit by the Flemington.
residents resulted in the County providing a water system for
Flemington residents and some nearby industries. There were
thirteen other incidents of contamination associated with.
either accidental industrial spills or leaking underground
fuel tanks. However most of these spills polluted the
Flemington aquifer or the Cape Fear River and not the main
body of ground wa terB .
2. The deep aquifers have a primary and a secondary recharge
area. The secondary recharge area is significantly vulnerable
to pollution because of the presence of nearly exposed strata
that could serve as a direct and rapid conduit of pollutants
into the entire aquifer system. The report concludes that it
therefore becomes extremely important to closely control and
monitor development activities within the secondary recharge
area9.
3. It may be less expensrve to treat the ground water than the
river water because (1) the ground water is relatively free
of pollutants (2) has less solids compared to river water and
(3) has a generally more predictable quality which allows for
a more simplified treatment process".
Summation
New Hanover County has enough water resources to meet present and
future needs. The Cape Fear River water source is highly polluted
and expensive to treat. Although the ground water is relatively
free of pollutants, this resource is vulnerable due to the lack of
a local comprehensive ground water protection plan.
4
The New Hanover County Planning Department report concludes that
the two primary factors required to control the quality of New
Hanover County's drinking Jater are (1) the control of discharges
into the Cape Fear River and (2) the adoption of strong ground
water protection regulations by the Countyll. This application
proposes to develop a model ground water protection plan. . This
plan will, directly protect the New Hanover County aquifer by the
development of ground water quality maintenance regulations.
Addi tionally, this proposal will also indirectly provide water
quality benefits to the Cape Fear River and other surface waters
by the reduction of polluted surface run off water and by the
reduction of polluted ground water discharge into the surface
waters.
B. Project Goals
1. To gather and present information and data that describes the
location of sensitive aquifer recharge areas, contamination
sites, water sources, and other relevant information.
2. To produce .maps which will indicate all of the information
needed to make decisions concerning a comprehensive ground
water protection plan.
3. To analyze current federal, state and local controls and the
effectiveness of these controls.
4. To prepare a comprehensive ground water protection plan which
can be implemented by local governments.
5. To sponsor a workshop for the general public and local
decision makers which explains the ground water protection
plan, explains the regulations and encourages their adoption.
C. Description of the Project
1. Narrative
PHASE ONE
The first phase of this project was initiated when a Project
Advisory Committee was established to (1) advise staff on all
aspects of the project and (2) ensure coordination between the
plan preparation and its implementation. The Advisory
Committee's role will be as follows:
1. Help develop the Request for Proposal which will be used
to hire a consultant. Review the proposals of the
consultants who reply to the Request for Proposal.
Recommend the consultants that will be employed. The
Council of Governments staff will make the final
decision.
5
2. Meet on a regularly scheduled basis to reVlew the
progress of the project, review drafts of the data
collected, review the analysis of the data and review
drafts of the Plan.
3.
Review the final Plan.
asked to review the
aspects:
The Advisory Committee will be
Plan considering the following
a. Clarity. Decide whether the zoning and land use
regulations are written in a style that can be
easily understood by the public and by decision
makers.
b. Leqality. The County Legal Department legal staff
will review the Plan to determine if it is legally
enforceable.
c. Comprehensiveness. Decide whether the Plan covers'
the geographical area which must be protected.
!
d . Effectiveness. Decide if the regulations will'
protect the aquifer to the greatest extent possible
while still allowing growth.
PHASE TWO
The second phase of the project will involve the collection
of primary sources of existing information that is already
available. The emphasis will be on using reliable data that
has been prepared on the subject in order to (1) use grant
funds to the best advantage (2) complete the project within
one year and (3) implement the Plan as soon as possible in
order to avoid undesirable development of the geographical
area which is located above the sensitive aquifer areas.
The information that is currently available and that will be
used in the project is as follows:
1. Geology and Ground Water Resources in New Hanover County,
N.C., prepared by George Bain, a geologist with the u.s.
Geological Survey. This report is an indepth analysis
of the geography, geology, hydrology and quality of water
in New Hanover County. Although the report was prepared
in 1970, the geography, geology and hydrology conclusions
provide the basic facts needed to prepare maps which
indicated the location of the sensitive aquifer areas.
6
2. New Hanover County Aquifer Management Program prepared
by Harry E. LeGrand (a hydrologist) and the New Hanover
County Planning Department in 1982. This report uses the
Bain report to produce narrative and maps indicating the
following:
A. Generalized diagram showing the relation of geologic
conditions to the occurrence of fresh ground water.
B. Aquifer Sensi ti vi ty Map. Indicating the primary
recharge area, secondary recharge areas, discharge
area for ground water, nondescript areas, and
shallow water table.

3. Drinking Water in New Hanover County, which was prepared
by the New Hanover County Planning Department in 1989.
This report contains current water quality information.
This r~port also contains a map of Central Water Systems
in New Hanover County including municipal, public
commercial, private and county water systems. This map
must be updated but it will provide a relatively current
reference point.
4. The local office of the N.C. Division of Environmental
Management has approximately 300 items of information
which can be used for this project. These items concern
the location and description of wells, industrial sites,
agricultural sit~s, contamination sites, etc.
During Phase Two the consultant will familiarize himself with
existing land uses, development acti vi ty and other significant
factors impacting on ground water resources. Emphasis will
be placed on those activities which will have a major impact
on water quality such as housing development sites, recreation
sites (golf courses in particular), well sites, agricultural
lagoons and agricultural sites in general. The consultant
will have access to a map prepared by the New Hanover County
Planning Department in 1991 which indicates the location of
hazardous and toxic materials.
7
PHASE THREE
Phase Three will consist of gathering information concerning
federal, state 'and local laws and ordinances concerning ground
water protection. Local laws and ordinances are defined as
New Hanover County, City of wilmington and other municipal and
county ordinances which are relevant to the subject and which
can be adopted for use in New Hanover County. An analysis
will be made to determine the effectiveness of these laws and
regulations in preserving water quality.
PHASE FOUR
. Phase Four will consist of the preparation of a Comprehensive
Ground Water Protection Plan. The Plan will address
industrial, agricultural, residential and recreation land use
controls. )
PHASE FIVE
Phase Five will consist of having the New Hanover County Legal
and Planning Departments review the draft. (Actually the
review will be an ongoing process during the entire plan
preparation. ) The New Hanover County staff time will be
donated as an in-kind service.
PHASE SIX
Phase six will be a presentation to the general public and
local decision makers by the Consultant. The presentation
will be an attempt to educate and inform the public and
decision makers. The goal of the presentation will be to have
the County adopt and implement the Plan.
