Todd,
Please find attached the results from the latest Port of Morehead City (25MAR14) stormwater monitoring results.
Couple of things to note:
1. Oil & Grease sample for 301 was inadvertently destroyed (dropped) by the lab. Since we have not had a
historical precedent for 0&G issues here, we feel that the lab report narrative and an explanation on the results
table for the missing data should suffice. Let us know otherwise.
2. COD results from Newport River (2,730 mg/L) and Bogue Sound (30,900 mg/L) were high and exceeded the
COD permit benchmark limit of 120 mg/L. These results support our theory that tidally influenced waters are
influencing site COD stormwater results. The samples were collected right off of the wharves, as far away as
possible from any nearby stormwater discharge points.
3. The COD for 907 (741 mg/L) exceeded the COD permit benchmark limit. This was the only sample that was
collected from waters that were tidally influenced. All others were collected at low tide (rising) conditions with
outgoing flow observed or from surface flows into the respective features. There was no other way to sample
this feature (manhole with 8-10 foot vertical drop to bottom of feature) without waiting for low tide and
continued rain, etc. We may want to explore other options for collecting representative samples from this
location.
Give me a call or email if you have any questions. Thanks.

CASE NARRATIVE
April 17, 2014
Catlin Project ID: NCSPA MHC
Envirochem report number: 2014-03528
Nine water samples were received at the laboratory March 26 for analysis as shown on the chain of
custody. The samples were received in good condition, within holding time, temperature and holding
time limits.
All analyses were completed within holding time and without quality control exception.
One analysis, oil and grease by EPA 1664A for sample 301, lab ID 14-08597, was not completed due to a
laboratory accident that destroyed the sample prior to completion. All other results for this sample are
on the lab report.
