' The preparation of this report was financed in part through a grant provided by the North Carolina Coastal
Management Program, through funds provided.by the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended, which is

INTRODUCTION
The Pasquotank River Watershed is classified WS-IV by the North Carolina
Department of Environmental Management (DEM). A WS-IV Watershed is the
least restrictive of the four watershed classifications adopted by the
Environmental Management Commission (EMC) to protect the future
potable water supplies of the State of North Carolina. By designating the
Pasquotank River Watershed as WS-IV, the EMC is requiring Pasquotank
County to enact density standards for future land use as well as stream
protection standards within the watershed. These regulations are intended
to minimize non -point source pollution generated by runoff associated
with urban development and agricultural operations. These documents have
been prepared along with this management plan and were adopted in
February 1994.
Other threats to the watersheds and water supplies are posed by
hazardous and toxic chemical spills. While Federal, state and local
emergency response agencies and the private sector have improved their
ability to respond in the event of a hazardous waste spill, there are still
significant gaps in identification of hazardous wastes and the
coordination of responses to a hazmat incident. The DEM requires local
governments with jurisdiction within designated watersheds to submit
their hazardous materials inventory and spill containment program as a
part of an overall management plan for the watershed in an effort to close
the gaps. The gaps are in the identification industries which use, store or
manufacture toxic chemicals, in the coordination between local and state
agencies that respond to spill emergencies and in onsite spill
containment.
This document is the initial strategic management plan for the protection
of the Pasquotank River Watershed within Pasquotank County. It addresses
the minimum requirements for the portion of the wateshed that is located
within the unincorporated Pasquotank County. A small portion of the
watershed lies within the City limits of Elizabeth City. This area needs
protection also and should be the responsibility of Elizabeth City's
municipal government. The content of this document consists of:

IGoal Statement
It is the goal of Pasquotank County Government to guide future
land use decisions in the Pasquotank River Watershed in a
manner that will reduce the impacts of pollution from both
point and non -point sources thereby preserving the options of
' Elizabeth City to use the River as a potable water source.
' Current Policies
' it is the policy of Pasquotank County to protect the County's
fresh water supply by strictly enforcing the lots size
' requirements of the State Department of Health on all
developments within the County.
It has always been the policy of the Pasquotank County Board of
' Commissioners to encourage use of best management practice
recommendations of the U. S. Soil Conservation Service.
' Future Policies
' Pasquotank County will maintain an inventory of hazardous and
toxic materials located in the watershed.
Pasquotank County will facilitate the coordination of hazmat
' incidences by supporting the Emergency Management
Coordination officer via fundings, equipment and space
necessary to maintain a responsive operational potential.

OVERVIEW OF THE WATERSHED
Future land development within the Pasquotank River Watershed will be
influenced by several factors including: population growth, industrial
expansion, N. C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) improvement plans
' and municipal utilities extension policy. The existing population of the
two townships (Providence and Newland) which encompass the Pasquotank
' River Watershed within Pasquotank County was approximately 6,000
people in 1980. By 1990 the population increased to over 8,000 people.
During the last two decades, the population for these two townships
increased at a faster rate than for the County as a whole. If this trend in
population increase continues then the population of the two townships
' will exceed 11,000 people within the next decade.
' A faster pace of growth for these two townships will more likely occur
due to enhanced industrial development at the County's new industrial
' site. Increased commercial land development will also follow the
construction of the US 17 Bypass recently announced by NCDOT. While the
' exact location of the new US 17 By Pass has not been determined, all the
potential corridors run through some portion of the Pasquotank Watershed.
' Besides these two factors, Elizabeth City is constructing new and deeper
potable water wells which will increase the reliability and quantity of
the City's water supply. The City extending water lines along US17 further
into the Watershed is a very distinct possibility as growth continues,
especially commercial development. The collective result of all these
' factors will be more and larger single family subdivisions, continued
pressure to subdivide land for manufactured home sites, new industrial
tsites and more commercial development along the major roadways within
the watershed.

I
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE
In accordance with the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know
Act of 1986, Pasquotank County has prepared a basic HAZMAT plan. The
HAZMAT plan is included in the appendix to this Management Plan. Also
' included in the appendix is the Mutual Aid Fire fighting/Emergency
Incident Agreement between Elizabeth City, and the volunteer fire
departments within the Pasquotank River watershed. Presently, the
County's volunteer fire personnel are not trained or equipped to respond
' adequately to a hazmat incident. The only certified personnel for handling
hazardous materials at the operational level are presently employed with
the Elizabeth City Fire Department. These trained personnel respond to
calls in the watershed in accordance with a mutual aid agreement.
When an potential HAZMAT incident occurs, the standard operating
procedure revolves around the receipt of an initial call via the 911
communications center. Depending on the type of call, the particular fire
department(s), EMS/ rescue squad and/or law enforcement office are
dispatched. The Emergency Management Coordinator in conjunction with
the incident coordinator determine the nature of the spill or incident.
Following this assessment additional agencies are notified based on the
severity assessment. If the HAZMAT incident poses a threat to the
Pasquotank River then the Coast Guard, Department of Environmental
Management, EPA and/or the Corps of Engineers are notified. Because the
intake from the Pasquotank River for Elizabeth City's water supply is not
used except in emergency cases which have not arisen for several years,
the water plant is not immediately notified. The focus is the notification
of the contractor or parties who will be responsible for cleaning up the
spill.
In preparing this
Management Plan a windshield survey of land use was
conducted for the
watershed. The land use
survey was analyzed in light of
the
probability for
storage and handling of
hazardous materials associated
with
each type of
land use. An inventory was prepared which is included in
the
appendix. The inventory identifies the
facility type, the location, and
type
of materials
stored onsite.

A
1 There are very few commercial or industrial establishments presently
existing in the watershed. The largest of these establishments is a wood
' processing operation. There are only two identified Tier II establishments
located in the Watershed, namely Sentry Foods and Lowry Oil Company.
' The Emergency and Hazardous Chemical Inventory Sheets for each of these
two establishments are included in the appendix to this plan. The majority
' of the land within the watershed is currently being farmed and there are
several agribusiness establishments which store pesticides and other
hazardous chemicals. These businesses are strictly permitted for the
handling of the particular chemical as well as the individuals using or
purchasing the chemicals.
Transportation related spills pose the single largest threat to the
' watershed. There has not been a transportation study to identify and
inventory hazardous waste carriers passing through the Watershed along
' either the highways or waterways. The EM coordinator is aware of the
threat but lacks the manpower or necessary funds to conduct such a study.
' An inventory of hazardous wastes passing through the county via US 17,
NC158 or the intracoastal waterway should be a priority.
The single location with the most potential for a hazmat incidents within
the Watershed in the future will be the new industrial park presently
' being constructed by the County. At present, a prison is the only facility
under construction; however, the County and Chamber of Commerce are
actively recruiting additional industries. Any new industry should be
encouraged to provide the EM Coordinator with data on any hazardous
' wastes that will be stored or used onsite.

IMPLEMENTATION
The cooperative agreements that currently allow a measure of response
acceptable for present conditions are not sufficient to handle future
conditions given the projected growth and types of new land uses proposed
in the watershed. The recently prepared HAZMAT Plan needs to be adopted.
In addition to adopting the plan, the Board of Commissioners should
appropriate additional funds to train certain volunteer fire department
personnel in both Newland and Providence Volunteer Fire Departments to
at least the operational level of certification to respond in the event of a
hazardous waste incident. In addition, the EM Coordinator and the Planning
Department should seek funds to conduct a transportation study and
inventory of all industrial farm and commercial operations in the
Pasquotank River Watershed. Such an inventory should be coordinated
with an inventory of the portion of the watershed located in Camden
County. The County Commission should provide the leadership needed to
effectively coordinate any incidents by funding incident command training
for at least the Emergency Management Coordinator. Finally, the County
will be preparing a Future Land Use Plan in 1994. Upon completion of the
land use planning effort, this strategic watershed protection management
plan should be updated and thereafter on an annual basis.

' BASIC PLAN
APPENDIX 8
HAZARDOUS MATERIAL
PURPOSE
' This appendix provides additional information to the basic
plan for response to hazardous material emergencies and to
meet the jurisdiction's responsibilities pursuant to the
Emergency Planning and Community Right -to -Know Act of 1986
' (Title III), Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act
of 1986 (SARA).
'
II. SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS
A. Situation
1. The specific facilities involved with Hazardous
Materials subject to the emergency planning
requirements of Section 302 of the Superfund
'
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA,
Title III) are listed in the facility information
notebook on file in the Central Communication
Center.
2. The threat of a major disaster involving hazardous
materials has escalated due to the increase in
'
everyday use and transportation of -chemicals by
the various segments of our population.
3.
The results of a hazardous material incident could
include the death or serious injury of persons
exposed to the material, the spread of
'
contaminants in varying degree throughout the
County, and the destruction of property from
fire, explosion, and exposure.
4.
Evacuation, a protective measure, could isolate
evacuees from their homes for an indefinite
'
period of time.
5.
Victims of a hazardous material incidents may
require unique or special medical care not
'
typically required in other types of emergencies.
6.
The release of hazardous materials may have short
and/or long term health and environmental effects
'
depending upon the chemical composition of the
substance.
'
7.
A hazardous material incident may affect several
hundreds of people within the jurisdiction
'
without warning.
' Revised September 30,1991
BP.8.1

8. A hazardous material incident may require the public
'
to shelter -in -place or to evacuate depending upon
conditions at the time of the emergency.
'
B. Assumptions
This plan can be effective if the following assump-
tions prove true:
1. Most, but not all, people affected by a hazardous
material incident will follow instructions and
'
shelter -in -place or relocate to designated
shelters.
'
2. Public notification/warning and evacuation, if
required, will be in accordance with the
'
procedures described in the Notification and
Warning Annex (Annex C) and the Evacuation and
Transportation Annex (Annex I) of this plan.
'
3. The local jurisdiction must respond to the incident
in the initial phase without assistance from
outside the jurisdiction. it is assumed that
emergency response agencies will take appropriate
'
actions to prevent or minimize the spread of the
material, provide early first aid as necessary,
and manage the incident scene with emphasis
toward safety of the public and responding
personnel.
'
4.
Planning and training prior to an incident will
significantly reduce the risk to personnel.
5.
The hazardous material involved in an incident can
be identified within a reasonable period of time
by the owner of the facility or the vehicle, by
the shipping documents, by the properties of the
'
material itself, or by information provided
pursuant to SARA, Title III or the N. C. Right -to
'
Know Act.
6.
A facility involved in a hazardous material incident
will provide all information required by SARA,
Title III, Section 304 on a timely basis,
including a written report.
7.
Emergency response personnel are knowledgeable in
'
the use of available resources.
8.
The U. S. DOT Emergency Response Guidebook, alone or
in combination with other information sources, is
used as a guide for initial protective action at
incidents involving hazardous materials; this
'
guidebook is intended primarily for internal size -
up of transportation accidents.
' Revised September 30,1991
BP.8.2

CONCEPT OF OPERATION
A. There are two types of incidents involving hazardous
' materials; (1) incidents at fixed facilities and (2)
transportation incident.
' B. The level of response required for an incident is
determined by:
1. the quantity and the toxic effects of the material
involved in the release;
'
2. the population and/or property threatened;
3. the type and availability of protective equipment
required for the released material, and;
'
4. the probable consequences should no immediate action
be taken.
'
C. Depending upon the threat posed by the incident,
protective measures initiated for the safety of the
public could include in -place shelter, evacuation, and
'
isolation of the contaminated environment.
D. Incidents are classified according to level of risk
'
according to the Incident Commander's assessment.
Level I (Potential Emergency Condition) is an incident
which can be controlled by the first response agencies,
'
does not require evacuation of other than the involved
structure or immediate outdoor area, and does not
indicate major environmental damage will occur.
Level II Limited Emergency Condition) is an incident
that involves a critical hazard with a potential threat
to life or property,.requires a limited evacuation of
environ-
the surrounding area, or suggests that major
mental damage could occur. Initial response to the
incident can be adequately handled by the jurisdic-
'
tion's personnel and resources.
Level III (Full Emergency Condition) is an incident
' involving a severe hazard or large area, poses an
extreme threat to life and property, and will probably
require a large-scale evacuation. Level III includes
' an incident requiring the combined expertise or
resources of local, state, federal and/or private
agencies/organizations.
' E. Response procedures for each level of incident will be
according to local policies and procedures in compli-
ance with worker safety standards.
Revised September 30,1991
BP.8.3

F. This plan recognizes that a hazardous material incident
can change with time, and necessitate escalating the
response to a higher level, or down -grading the respon-
se -to lower levels as the situation is controlled.
G. When responding to an incident where hazardous
materials are known to be stored, the responders will
assume the involvement of the most toxic substance at
that location unless otherwise informed.
H. A Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) has been
established at the jurisdiction level to identify the
magnitude of the local hazard, assess the vulnerability
of the community to that hazard, and provide planning
guidance for emergency response. Representation on the
LEPC is prescribed by the policy of the North Carolina
Emergency Response Commission, and those agencies or
groups/facilities that have an interest in hazardous
materials may have a representative on the committee. A
point of contact (Facility Emergency Coordinator) will
be identified at each covered facility under SARA,
Title III, Section 302. This Facility Emergency
Coordinator will provide the necessary emergency
response information on the facility to the planning
committee.
I. Notification of a release
of a hazardous chemical may be provided by any one who
recognizes that a release has occurred. The telephone
will be the primary means of alerting for any hazardous
material incident, however, other methods including
fire and other alarm systems may be used for initial
notification if accepted by the LEPC. (See Attachment
3 for recommended procedure.)
J. Warning and notification of the public, including
warning and notification to special populations such as
the hearing impaired, will be accomplished in accord-
ance with the Notification and Warning Annex (Annex C)
of this plan. Procedures for warning that have been
developed for the hazard zones surrounding identified
fixed facilities supersede the provisions of Annex C.
I. As necessary, emergency vehicles with effective sound
devices (sirens and/or public address systems) may be
used as a public alerting system. If a fixed notifica-
tion system is in place around the facility or emer-
gency area the vehicles may be used as a backup system.
The vehicles will be dispatched within the evacuation
area and will stop at each quarter (1/4) mile in
populated areas and at each house or group of houses
that are more than 1/4 mile apart. The emergency
vehicle will notify the public of the situation and/or
recommend protective action. To ensure receipt of the
Revised September 30,1991
BP.8.4

' initial warning by all members of the community, each
route should be run twice if possible. The second run,
or.backrun, will be to confirm alert and notification.
' Backruns need only stop at houses that are dark at
night or where it is apparent that people are not com-
plying with instructions. If necessary, door-to-door
I
alerting will be accomplished during the second run.
IV. ORGANIZATION AND ASSIGNMENT OF RESPONSIBILITIES
