The E-3 area of coastal North Carolina, which includes the waters of Bogue Sound in Carteret
County, lies in the central portion of the state off of the Atlantic Ocean. Review of the bacteriological
and shoreline survey data collected during the time period covered within this report indicates little
change in bacteriological water quality throughout the growing area, and no changes to any
classifications are necessary at this time. A few modifications to the sampling regime will be made
in order to more efficiently and effectively monitor the area. The existing conditional area
management plan has proven effective, so will continue to be used.
1.0 SANITARY SURVEY
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The E-3 growing area consists of all waters in Bogue Sound bordered in the west by a line
running southeasterly from a point on the mainland just west of Spooners Creek to a point on
Bogue Banks just east of the Pine Knoll Shores canals, and in the east by Beaufort Inlet, as well
as Tar Landing Bay, Hoop Pole Creek, Peletier Creek, and Spooners Creek. Overall, the area
includes a total of approximately 5,810 water acres (Figure 1). Portions of Morehead City,
Atlantic Beach, and Pine Knoll Shores line the shores of the growing area, and according to US
Census Block Data from 2010, the permanent population within the E-3 watershed is about
5,679. See Figure 2 for a map of the growing area, including sampling station locations, and
see Table 1 for a description of those sampling stations.
1.2 SHORELINE SURVEY OF POLLUTION SOURCES
A comprehensive shoreline survey of Area E-3 was completed on December 28th, 2016, and an
annual survey was completed in June 2017. Evaluations of properties in the area were
conducted by NC Shellfish Sanitation staff to determine potential sources of pollution entering
shellfish growing waters (Figure 3). The Carteret County Health Department was notified prior to
the survey, and agreed to provide corrective action and follow-up for any malfunctioning septic
systems or illegal on-site wastewater discharges discovered.
Survey Methods
New actual and potential pollution sources for the 2016 survey were mapped using GPS, and
pollution source data were collected using Trimble’s sub-meter Juno 3B GPS receiver with
EVEREST multipath rejection technology. Data were collected in the SSF format using real-time
corrections from the integrated Wide Area Augmentation System receiver. The data were
post-processed using GPS Pathfinder Tools applications in order to get the most precise data.
During the 2017 annual survey, pollution source data were collected using ESRI’s Collector for
ArcGIS application, coupled with an iPad Mini 4. The integrated GPS receiver on the iPad
utilized Apple Assisted GPS and GLONASS technology. This system allows for real time
updates and automatic geotagging of pollution source pictures.
Additionally, a Geographic Information System (GIS) was developed, including pertinent
information and digital pictures for each source.

Area E-3: Mainland Shoreline Survey
Point Source Pollution
Wastewater Treatment Plants – The majority of the homes and businesses within this portion
of the E-3 Growing Area are served by the Morehead City Wastewater Treatment Plant, which
is located in and discharges to the E-4 Growing Area. There are several lift stations associated
with the collection system for this plant that are located within the E-3 watershed, most of which
include generators (Figure 4, Table 2). Since the last Sanitary Survey Report was completed in
2014, this collection system has experienced one known issue impacting the waters of E-3. On
12/30/2015, a small break in a sewer line near the intersection of 9th St. and Shepard St.
allowed around 10,000 gallons of untreated sewage to reach Bogue Sound via a nearby storm
drain. A temporary closure extending from the Intracoastal Waterway to the mainland between
the Atlantic Beach Bridge and the permanent closure line near 16th St. was put in place
following this event, and was left in place until 1/27/2016.
Non-Point Source Pollution
Package Wastewater Treatment Plants – The Hestron Park Package Wastewater Treatment
Plant, which is located within the upper Spooners Creek watershed, currently serves several of
the surrounding commercial shopping centers (Figure 4, Table 2). The average flow at this
facility has dropped from around 35,000 gallons per day (GPD) to around 20,000 GPD in recent
years, and treated wastewater is discharged to a series of rotor fields for disposal.
Waste from the Spooners Creek, Shores at Spooners Creek, and Spooners Creek North
subdivisions is pumped to the package wastewater treatment plant at Brandywine Bay for
treatment. That facility is located within the E-4 watershed, and is discussed in more detail in
that report.
Onsite Wastewater – Onsite wastewater systems serve only a few small portions of this
growing area at the western edge of Morehead City and along Radio Island. Many of these
systems were visited and inspected during the survey, and were found to be functioning well.
Marinas – Marinas and dockage facilities are evaluated during the shoreline survey because of
their potential to affect the suitability of adjacent shellfish waters for harvest through inputs of
both biological and chemical contaminants (Figure 5, Table 3). A marina is defined as “any
water area with a structure (dock, basin, floating dock, etc.) which is utilized for docking or
otherwise mooring vessels and constructed to provide temporary or permanent docking space
for more than 10 boats” (15A NCAC 18A .0901). The waters enclosed by a marina are classified
as Prohibited for the harvest of shellfish, and an additional area beyond the marina can also be
classified as Prohibited depending on the number of boat slips present.
The owners of The Bluffs Marina have recently received a permit to renovate and reconfigure
their docks. This marina, which is located just outside of the Prohibited area surrounding
Peletier Creek, currently has a restriction in place that does not allow the docking of any boats
over 24 feet in length, any boats with heads, or any boats with cabins. The new permit does not
change the number of slips allowed at the marina, but it does remove the restrictions on the
2
types of boats using the facility, so a buffer closure may be necessary should any boats over 24
feet in length be noted on future surveys.
A portion of the dockage located within the Prohibited waters of Peletier Creek at the end of
Miami Avenue, is currently involved in an ongoing land dispute. There are currently six slips in
question that may have to be removed, which would reduce the total number at the facility to 10.
Five of the six slips of interest are badly damaged and would require repairs for continued use.
The marina that was permitted for the Tide Lines development was never built, and a recent
permit modification was made to focus instead on docks for each individual lot within the
subdivision. Currently, there are 17 slips planned, although only three had been built as of the
2017 survey.
The adjacent Radio Island Yachting and Boating Club sustained some damage to their pumpout
station during Hurricane Matthew. Repairs are planned for the near future, but in the meantime
the next nearest pumpout station is located at either Portside Marina or the Morehead City
Yacht Basin, both located about a mile away in downtown Morehead City.
Otherwise, there have been no significant changes at any of the docking facilities within this
portion of E-3 since the last triennial survey was completed in 2013.
Stormwater – Stormwater can adversely impact shellfish growing waters by rapidly transporting
fecal coliform bacteria and other contaminants from the land to the water. There have been no
notable changes to the stormwater systems of this area since the last survey was completed in
2013, and runoff from impervious surfaces, commercial areas, and roadways remains the
primary contributor to fecal coliform levels throughout the mainland side of E-3 (Figure 6).
The eastern end of Morehead City is a primarily commercial-use area, with shops, restaurants,
offices, and parking lots lining the streets. This area is drained by a large curb and gutter
system, which eventually discharges untreated stormwater runoff into the waters of Bogue
Sound.
West of downtown, the majority of Morehead City is more residential in nature, with old,
established neighborhoods lining the water. This area is also drained by a curb and gutter
system that also discharges untreated stormwater runoff into the waters of Bogue Sound.
Peletier Creek and Spooners Creek both receive drainage from relatively large areas that
include schools, industrial and commercial areas, roadways, and residential neighborhoods.
Subdivisions – Subdivisions are noted in the survey as an indicator of population growth, as
well as for their tendency to concentrate potential sources of pollution such as septic systems,
pet wastes, and stormwater. Most of the homes and neighborhoods within this portion of the
area are old and established, and there has been little growth within this portion of the growing
area since the last triennial survey was completed in 2013 (Figure 7, Table 4).
The Tide Lines development on Radio Island has recently received a permit modification, and
plans now include 10 lots, down from the previously permitted 14. Three homes had been built
3
as of the 2017 survey, and all homes within this subdivision will be connected to the Morehead
City Wastewater Treatment Plant when completed.
Wildlife and Domestic Animals – There is relatively little forested land within this portion of the
growing area, so only animals adapted to suburban settings such as raccoons, opossums, and
rabbits are common. Shorebirds, wading birds, gulls, and ducks are also common, particularly
during the winter months. There are no animal farms within the E-3 watershed, and domestic
animals, aside from scattered cats and dogs, are not prevalent.
Poisonous or Deleterious Substances – Oils, greases, paints, and other chemicals from boat
maintenance and boat washing could have an impact on water quality throughout much of the
growing area, particularly within Peletier Creek and along the Morehead City waterfront.
The North Carolina State Port is located in Morehead City at the eastern edge of the Growing
Area, and has an impact on both E-3 and E-4. In the last several years, about two million tons
per year of bulk and breakbulk material has moved through this facility, including sulfur
products, rubber, scrap metal, phosphate, and wood chips. The military also uses the port for
staging, loading, and unloading.
The port maintains an extensive stormwater pollution prevention plan, which is on file in the
Morehead City Shellfish Sanitation Office, along with a layout of the stormwater system. All
stormwater discharge pipes include shut off valves to prevent leakage in case of a spill, and
many of the storage units include containment devices designed to keep spilled materials from
escaping into the surrounding water. Despite these safeguards, there are still some risks of
bacterial or chemical contamination from the port through illicit discharges from docked ships,
waste from birds or other animals on the property, or from small oil or chemical leaks that occur
as a part of normal daily operations. There is an extensive safety buffer closure extending at
least ½ mile from the port in all directions, so any threats to open shellfishing waters are
minimal.
Area E-3: Atlantic Beach Shoreline Survey
Non-Point Source Pollution
Package Wastewater Treatment Plants – There is no centralized sewer system on Atlantic
Beach, so many of the hotels and larger condominium complexes instead rely on package
wastewater treatment plans for wastewater treatment and disposal (Figure 4, Table 2). Many of
the plants within this area have undergone extensive renovations or been entirely replaced in
the last several years, and many of the issues noted on previous surveys have since been
resolved.
The new plant at Dunescape Condominiums has finally been completed after construction
initially began in 2010. The new plant is a sequencing batch reactor system with UV
disinfection. The rotary distribution fields have been replaced as well, and wastewater is now
discharged via a low pressure pipe surface application system.
4
The Atlantic Beach Circle plant is now online, and is treating low flow amounts of around 2,500
gallons per day (GPD). It is likely that this flow will increase as development continues in The
Grove.
The plant at the Island Beach and Racquet Club will be receiving increased flow within the
coming year as the condominiums at Seaside Villas are completed. In preparation for this
increase, one of the prior lift stations and equalization chamber have been replaced and the old
equalization chamber has been repurposed for use as a digester. Pending permitting from
DWR, new chlorine contact chambers and Dinaflo filters will be added as well, and the older
units will be taken offline.
A new plant at the Ocean Sands Condominiums was built in 2016 to replace an old onsite
wastewater system. This new plant, which receives a daily flow of around 4,000 gpd, is a fixed
media, extended aeration plant permitted to treat up to 18,000 gpd. Wastewater is then
disinfected with UV and discharged to three adjacent drip fields.
The remaining plants within this portion of E-3 have not experienced any notable changes since
the last triennial report was completed.
Onsite Wastewater – Onsite wastewater systems serve the majority of the private residences
throughout Atlantic Beach. Many of these systems were visited and inspected during the
shoreline survey, and were found to be functioning properly.
There are several restaurants in Atlantic Beach that, due to small lot sizes, cannot maintain
adequately functioning onsite wastewater systems. These restaurants, including The Channel
Marker, McCurdy’s, El Zarape, Beach Taven, and Amos Mosquito’s, are all permitted by the
local health department for pump-and-haul service. The Channel Marker actually maintains
their own pump-and-haul truck, which remains on site and pumps as needed, and all others
have contracts with local waste hauling services for regular pumping.
Marinas – The Bogue Shores Marina is planning to renovate their docks and increase the slip
count to 16 (Figure 5, Table 3). This potential increase, along with the slip counts from the
neighboring Coral Bay Club (18) and Coral Cay (16) will bring the total in the area to 50, which
is the maximum allowed for the buffer closure currently in place around these facilities. The
construction of any additional slips at any of these facilities in the future will necessitate an
expanded closure.
During the survey, it was noted that both the Capt. Stacy Marina and the Sea Water Marina had
constructed makeshift wooden fuel pump storage units that had resulted in leakage of fuel. The
boardwalks surrounding these units were found to be saturated with fuel, and it is possible that
some was making its way into the surrounding surface waters as well. Both sites are located
well within Prohibited waters, so it is unlikely that these fuel leaks will have an impact on open
shellfishing waters, although both were referred to the Division of Water Resources for
corrective action.
Two new Fast Response Cutters (FRCs) are being redeployed to the Coast Guard Station at
Fort Macon, and the dockage there is being renovated in preparation. The pumpout station will
5
be receiving a new riser and valves, and the stormwater drains lining the docks have been
temporarily sealed and secured to avoid any unintentional impacts from the upland construction
work being done.
Otherwise, there have been no significant changes at any of the docking facilities within this
portion of E-3 since the last triennial survey was completed in 2013.
Stormwater – Stormwater can adversely impact shellfish growing waters by rapidly transporting
fecal coliform bacteria and other contaminants from the land to the water. Runoff from
roadways and residential areas remains the primary contributor to fecal coliform levels
throughout the Bogue Banks side of E-3 (Figure 6).
The main road through Atlantic Beach is drained through a combination of curb and gutter, pipe,
and ditch systems that convey stormwater into the sound. The majority of these discharges
travel through marshland before reaching shellfishing waters, so most likely receive at least
some treatment before reaching the sound.
There is a pump station located just west of the Atlantic Station Shopping Center that is used to
move stormwater and groundwater into a ditch that eventually drains into a marshy area around
Hoop Pole Creek. Along the north and east sides of the property, there are a series of smaller
curb and gutter drains that empty into the marshes and tributaries of Hoop Pole Creek as well.
This area was recently closed to shellfish harvest after a series of special samples revealed
regular water quality problems in the upper part of the creek.
Atlantic Beach and Pine Knoll Shores experience flooding problems during periods of heavy
rain, and both communities have developed stormwater pumping plans to remove standing
water from streets and properties when necessary. In Atlantic Beach, most of the floodwaters
are pumped to large infiltration basins constructed amongst the dunes along the oceanfront, but
there are some circumstances where water can be directed to the sound as well.
In Pine Knoll Shores, water can be pumped to the ponds along the Country Club of the Crystal
Coast, which have an outlet that can discharge to the sound during periods of high water. In
both cases, the municipalities are required to provide notification to the Shellfish Sanitation and
Recreational Water Quality Section prior to pumping so that any necessary temporary closures
can be put in place.
Subdivisions – Subdivisions are noted in the survey as an indicator of population growth, as
well as for their tendency to concentrate potential sources of pollution such as septic systems,
pet wastes, and stormwater. Housing density is extremely high throughout much of Atlantic
Beach, and this concentrated development likely has an impact on water quality in the area,
particularly during the summer months when usage is at its highest (Figure 7, Table 4).
The Grove at Atlantic Beach Circle continues to grow, and now includes 27 housing units. The
redevelopment plans have changed over the years since they were first created, but current
plans are to include a variety of housing options, a hotel, shops, restaurants, and family
entertainment while still maintaining public beach access as well. It is estimated that the project
will take around 10 years to complete.
6
Saltmarsh Villas, formerly known as Needlerush Bay, now has homes on 10 of the 14 available
lots.
A new 54-lot townhome community, Seaside Villas, is currently being built in the western portion
of Atlantic Beach. Five townhomes have been built, along with a lift station that has been
connected to the Island Beach and Racquet Club Package Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Wildlife and Domestic Animals – There are very few wild animals within the Atlantic Beach
portion of E-3 aside from some raccoons, opossums, and other small mammals. Shorebirds,
gulls, and ducks are common within the marshes and the sound, especially in the winter
months. There are also several flocks of semi-domesticated ducks that live in and around the
Atlantic Beach canals. Aside from scattered dogs and cats, domestic animals are not prevalent
in the area.
Poisonous or Deleterious Substances – Due to the density of marinas and private boat
docks, fuel, oil, grease, paints, and other chemical from boat washing and maintenance have
the potential to impact the waters of E-3, particularly in and around the Atlantic Beach Canals.
The US Coast Guard Station stores and utilizes some hazardous materials within their facility as
well. These materials are stored within concrete retention basins located in buildings away from
the water, so any spills that may occur would likely be contained before reaching the growing
area.
Golf Courses - The Country Club of the Crystal Coast maintains an 18-hole course spread
across about 100 acres along Bogue Sound in eastern Pine Knoll Shores (Figure 9, Table 6).
All stormwater from the course drains to a series of ditches and ponds which are used as a
source of irrigation water, but which can discharge to the sound during periods of high water.
1.3 HYDROGRAPHIC FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SPREAD OF POLLUTION
Currents and tides within the E-3 area are primarily influenced by flow through Beaufort Inlet,
and salinities are generally high, ranging from 24 to 36 parts per thousand during the period
covered within this report (Table 7).
Stormwater runoff is one of the major sources of contamination within the area, and the
Conditionally Approved Open portions of E-3 are temporarily closed following rainfall events of
2.5 inches or greater within a 24-hour period. Overall, parts of E-3 were temporarily closed 27
times for a total of 179 days during the time frame of this report (Table 8). 5 of these closures,
totaling 25 days, were due to extremely heavy rainfall associated with hurricanes or tropical
storms, while the remaining closures were due to individual rainfall events that exceeded the
management criteria. Table 9 contains sampling results collected to reopen the E-3 area after
temporary closures.
The portion of E-3 that is classified as Conditionally Approved Closed is typically closed to
shellfish harvest, but can be opened temporarily when weather conditions are favorable and
when shellfish meat and water samples meet acceptable bacteriological standards. During the
7
time period covered within this report, there have been no temporary openings of the
Conditionally Approved Closed waters of E-3.
Currently, one volunteer rain gauge is used to monitor rainfall for the E-3 area (Table 10).
Additional rain gauges in adjacent growing areas, as well as online resources, have also been
used. According to the last ten years of data, average yearly rainfall in the E-3 watershed has
been around 55.7 inches. During the last three years, however, E-3 has received notably above
average rainfall, with more than 66 inches in 2014, almost 70 inches in 2015, and nearly 61
inches in 2016.
1.4 BACTERIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF SHELLFISH GROWING WATERS
The monitoring of Area E-3 adheres to the systematic random sampling strategy outlined by the
National Shellfish Sanitation Program (NSSP), and consists of 30 sample sets from each of 33
sampling stations, as well as 16 samples taken from 1 station added in 2014 (Figure 2).
The bacteriological survey covered within this report includes water samples taken between
10/10/2012 and 7/27/2017. Water samples were collected and analyzed for fecal coliform
bacteria in compliance with the systematic random sampling regime. Table 11 lists, for each
individual sampling station, the date the sample was obtained, the tidal cycle upon which the
sample was taken, and the ambient salinity. Fecal coliform Most Probable Number (MPN) and
summary statistics are included as well.
Only three sampling stations within the E-3 Growing Area currently exceed the standards for
Approved status, all of which are located in Prohibited waters. Station 1, located at the mouth of
Spooners Creek, currently exhibits an estimated 90th percentile of 49, while station 45, located
at the mouth of nearby Peletier Creek, has an estimated 90th percentile of 169. The closure
lines surrounding both of these creeks extend well into the sound, and the sampling stations
used to monitor these lines all fall well within the range for Approved status.
Station 6, located within Hoop Pole Creek, currently exhibits an estimated 98th percentile of 55,
although nearby station 6B, located just outside the closure line at the mouth of Hoop Pole
Creek, has an estimated 90th percentile of 22.
Otherwise, there have been no notable changes in bacteriological water quality throughout the
remainder of the E-3 Growing Area in the last several years, and all other stations meet the
standards for Approved status.
1.5 SUMMARY OF BACTERIOLOGICAL DATA ANALYSIS
Stations 1, 6, and 45, located within the Prohibited waters of Spooners, Hoop Pole, and Peletier
Creeks, respectively, currently exceed the standards for Approved status. All other sampling
stations within E-3 currently meet NSSP criteria for Approved status. Table 12 provides a
summary of bacteriological data for all stations within this growing area.
8
1.6 OVERALL EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
While stations 1, 6, and 45 all exceed the standards for Approved status, several nearby
stations still meet the criteria, so no expanded closures are necessary at this time. Overall, no
changes in classification will be recommended as a result of this report.
An analysis of the impacts of varying levels of rainfall on this growing area does not indicate the
need for any modifications to the Conditional Management Plan at this time.
A few changes to the sampling regime will be recommended in order to more efficiently and
effectively monitor the growing area. Sampling station 45 will be dropped from the sampling
regime, as nearby stations 46 and 47 are adequate to ensure the proper placement of the
closure lines around Peletier Creek. Additionally, sampling station 40 will be dropped from the
sampling regime, as nearby stations 6B and 41 are adequate to capture the impacts of any
contaminants draining off of Bogue Banks. Sampling Station 8B will be added to the sampling
regime just off of the gazebo associated with The Cottages at Bay Ridge in order to better
monitor that portion of the growing area.
2.0 CONDITIONAL AREA MANAGEMENT PLAN
2.1 INTRODUCTION
The E-3 growing area consists of all waters in Bogue Sound bordered in the west by a line
running southeasterly from a point on the mainland just west of Spooners Creek to a point on
Bogue Banks just east of the Pine Knoll Shores canals, and in the east by Beaufort Inlet, as well
as Tar Landing Bay, Hoop Pole Creek, Peletier Creek, and Spooners Creek. Overall, the area
includes a total of approximately 5,810 water acres (Figure 1). Portions of Morehead City,
Atlantic Beach, and Pine Knoll Shores line the shores of the growing area, and according to US
Census Block Data from 2010, the permanent population within the E-3 watershed is about
5,679. Clam production throughout much of E-3 is considered good, and oyster production is
considered fair.
2.2 MANAGEMENT PLAN
Rainfall resulting in significant runoff is the single largest contributor to the bacterial
contamination of shellfishing waters within coastal North Carolina. The Conditionally Approved
Open waters of Area E-3 are normally open to shellfish harvesting, but will be closed after
receiving 2.5 inches of rain or greater within a 24-hour period. When such an event occurs, the
following closure will be recommended:
Bogue Sound – All those waters from the Intracoastal Waterway to the
mainland between the permanent shellfish closure near 16 St. in Morehead
City and the Emerald Isle High Rise Bridge.
This closure description also includes portions of Areas D-4, E-1, and E-2. These areas will
remain closed until such time as the rainfall event has ended and sampling indicates that
bacteriological water quality meets Approved area criteria.
9
During extremely heavy rainfall events or unusual storm events, additional waters in the E-3
area can be temporarily closed. These types of events would be classified as emergency
closures since the events are infrequent. A public health emergency means any condition that
may immediately cause shellfish waters to be unsafe for the harvest of shellfish for human
consumption.
There is one portion of the E-3 Growing Area that is classified as Conditionally Approved Closed
and is normally closed to shellfishing, but can be opened on a temporary basis during periods of
favorable weather conditions that make nonpoint source contamination unlikely. Two
consecutive water samples and one shellfish meat sample all meeting the standards for safe
shellfish harvest will be collected prior to opening. This sampling should only occur when dry
conditions have been observed for a minimum of one week, and when a favorable weather
forecast exists for the near future. Sampling will continue after opening, with the frequency of
sampling being determined by the area, as well as by the local hydrographic and meteorological
conditions.
The following Conditionally Approved Closed area will be closed after 0.5 inches of rain or
greater within a 24-hour period, or 0.75 inches of rain or greater within a 48-hour period:
All those waters in Hoop Pole Creek upstream of a line beginning at a point 34˚
42.1465’N -76˚46.1560’ W on the west shore; running easterly to a point 34˚
42.1558’ N -76˚ 46.1146’ W on the marsh island; running northerly following the
shoreline of the marsh island to a point 34˚ 42.1533’ N -76˚ 45.9362’ W; running
easterly to a point 34˚ 42.1521’ N -76˚ 45.9084’ W on the east shore.
Currently, one volunteer rain gauge is used to monitor rainfall for the E-3 area, and other
resources such as NOAA NowCoast and CoCoRaHS are also utilized as needed. Rainfall
amounts are called in to the DMF Communications Center in Morehead City, and are checked
regularly by Shellfish Sanitation personnel, to determine if closures are necessary. Monthly tally
sheets are also mailed to the Shellfish Sanitation office, and a call sheet is utilized when a
rainfall event is suspected.
2.3 IMPLEMENTATION OF MANAGEMENT PLAN
If the rainfall level in the management plan for the area is exceeded, a proclamation is issued by
DMF resulting in an immediate closure of the area. The proclamation is issued by fax, email, or
by area law enforcement officers who in turn distribute it to local establishments in the affected
area for public notification.
After hours and on weekends, Shellfish Sanitation personnel will be in contact with rain gauge
monitors and with the DMF Communications Center for information regarding rainfall reports.
The DMF Communications Center is on duty 24 hours per day.
2.4 PATROL OF CLOSED AREA
Patrol of shellfish harvesting areas is the sole responsibility of the Division of Marine Fisheries
Marine Patrol Section. For information regarding enforcement of closures and patrol of closed
areas, see the Patrol Policy of the DMF Marine Patrol Section.
10
2.5 REOPENING CRITERIA
After the rainfall event has ended and sufficient time has elapsed to allow the area to return to
normal, the temporarily closed area will be sampled. If the results indicate fecal coliform levels
to be acceptable, a proclamation is issued to reopen the area. DMF issues and distributes the
proclamation. In accordance with North Carolina General Statute 113-221.1, a 12-hour
notification is required for reopening of closed shellfishing areas.
3.0 CONDITIONAL AREA EVALUATION
3.1 INTRODUCTION
The National Shellfish Sanitation Program (NSSP) Conditionally Approved classification for
shellfish growing waters allows the utilization of valuable shellfish resources by permitting
harvesting when environmental conditions cause fecal coliform levels to be satisfactory in areas
that would otherwise be closed to the harvesting of shellfish. In order for the State to be in
compliance with NSSP guidelines, conditionally approved areas must be evaluated yearly in
accordance with the Model Ordinance, Chapter IV, @ 03, C., (3), (a) and (b) of the NSSP Guide
for the Control of Molluscan Shellfish. This report is intended to comply with that portion of the
NSSP yearly evaluation of the Conditionally Approved areas for the Morehead City/Atlantic
Beach Area, E-3, in Carteret County. Each of the six required elements of the evaluation will be
included in this report.
3.2 COMPLIANCE WITH MANAGEMENT PLAN
The monitoring of Area E-3 adheres to the systematic random sampling strategy outlined by the
National Shellfish Sanitation Program (NSSP), and consists of 30 sample sets from each of 33
sampling stations, as well as 16 samples taken from 1 station added in 2014 (Figure 2). The
area has also been sampled in accordance with management plan criteria for the conditionally
approved classification of the NSSP (Table 9).
Rain events that exceed management plan criteria of 2.5 inches of rain within a 24-hour period
result in a temporary closure of the affected conditionally approved areas. Table 8 contains a
list of temporary closures of conditionally approved waters that have occurred within E-3 during
this survey period. Review of the management plan for Area E-3 indicates that all closures have
been made in accordance with the requirements of the plan since the last Sanitary Survey
Report was completed in 2014.
Since October of 2012, portions of this area have been closed 27 times for a total of 179 days
due to exceedances of the rainfall thresholds laid out in the Conditional Area Management
Plan. Adequate water samples were obtained prior to reopening after these rainfall events
(Table 9), to ensure that bacteriological water quality was sufficient to protect public health
according to the plan criteria.
The portions of E-3 that are classified as Conditionally Approved Closed are typically closed to
shellfish harvest, but can be opened temporarily when weather conditions are favorable and
when shellfish meat and water samples meet acceptable bacteriological standards. During the
11
time period covered within this report, there have been no temporary openings of the
Conditionally Approved Closed waters of E-3.
3.3 ADEQUACY OF REPORTING
For coastal North Carolina, rainfall and the resultant runoff is the event most detrimental to
shellfish water quality. Currently, all management plans for conditionally approved waters are
dependent upon the amount of rainfall received within the watershed of a particular growing
area. The process of developing management plans for conditionally approved areas is
complex. Rainfall amounts can vary tremendously, and there are often significant differences in
accumulation within a small area. Current procedures for obtaining rainfall data include the use
of local volunteer rainfall stations, as well as NOAA and other commercial weather websites.
Rainfall accumulations recorded at volunteer rainfall monitoring stations within the E-3
watershed are included in Table 10.
3.4 COOPERATION OF PERSONS INVOLVED
The conditionally approved area concept is a cooperative effort between the Marine Patrol and
Shellfish Sanitation Sections of the Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF). The Shellfish Sanitation
Section is responsible for monitoring conditionally approved growing areas and developing
management plans. Patrol of shellfish harvesting waters is the sole responsibility of the DMF
Marine Patrol. No major problems have occurred with implementing the conditionally approved
area concept in North Carolina.
Rainfall information is gathered from various individuals throughout the state including private
citizens, DMF Marine Patrol and Shellfish Sanitation personnel. Additional resources are used
to determine the amount and locations of precipitation, such as the NOAA National Weather
Service precipitation website.
3.5 COMPLIANCE WITH APPROVED GROWING AREA CRITERIA
Currently, only three sampling stations within E-3 exceed the standards for Approved status,
and all three are located in Prohibited waters. All sampling stations located within Conditionally
Approved Open waters meet the approved growing area criteria when in the open status.
3.6 FIELD INSPECTION OF POLLUTION SOURCES
A comprehensive shoreline survey of Area E-3 was completed on December 28th, 2016, and an
annual survey was completed in June 2017, in accordance with the requirements of the NSSP
“Guide for the Control of Molluscan Shellfish,” Chapter IV, @ .03.
3.7 COLLECTION OF WATER SAMPLES
Area E-3 has been sampled in accordance with the management plan criteria of the area as
required by the conditionally approved classification of the NSSP. Area E-3 currently adheres to
the systematic random sampling strategy outlined by the NSSP, and consists of 30 sample sets
from each of 33 sampling stations, as well as 16 samples taken from 1 station added in 2014
(Figure 2).
12
The bacteriological survey covered within this report includes water samples gathered between
10/10/2012 and 7/27/2017. During that time period, a total of 1006 water samples were
collected during periods that the waters were open to shellfish harvesting, and were analyzed
for fecal coliform bacteria in compliance with the systematic random sampling regime. Table 11
lists, for each individual sampling station, the date the sample was obtained, the tidal cycle upon
which the sample was taken, and the ambient salinity. Fecal coliform MPN and summary
statistics are listed here as well.
In addition, 147 bacteriological samples were collected and analyzed as part of the conditional
sampling for E-3 (Table 9).
3.8 SUMMARY
The Conditionally Approved area classification of the NSSP provides a way to utilize a resource
for direct market purposes that would otherwise only be available for relaying or depuration.
Refinement of management plans is critical to assure that shellfish harvested from the
conditionally approved growing areas are taken from waters that meet approved area criteria.
At this time, the management plan for Growing Area E-3 is functioning properly, and no changes
will be recommended.
