Version: DMF Lease App 2/2017 Em Page 5 of 16 LEASE PRODUCTION REQUIREMENTS AND MANAGEMENT PLANNING INFORMATION PRODUCTION Shellfish Leases in NC must meet Production Standards by rule. Failure to meet production standards is the number one reason for leases being terminated. Proper sizing of the lease and a sound management plan are key to meeting your production standards. The following are the minimum Shellfish Lease Production Standards in MFC Rule: Bottom Lease: 1. Harvest 10 bushels of shellfish per acre, per year; AND 2. Plant 25 bushels of seed; OR Plant 50 bushels of cultch; OR Combination of 2 and 3 where the total equals 100% of planting requirement Water Column Lease: 1. Harvest 40 bushels of shellfish per acre, per year; OR 2. Plant 100 bushels of seed or cultch or a combination that equals 100% of planting requirement Note: The Shellfish Lease Program uses the following conversion numbers to determine bushels in planting and marketing. These numbers apply to ail sizes; seed to market size: o Clams and Scallops: 1 bu. = 400 count o Oysters: 1 bu. = 300 count o Cultch: o Scallop shell: 1 bu. = 40 pounds o Oyster Shell: 1 bu. = 60 pounds o Clam Shell: 1 bu. = 75 pounds 0 2 in. fossil stone (marl): 1 bu. = 90 pounds LEASE MANAGEMENT PLAN The Lease Management Plan details what type of aquaculture operation you plan. This is an important step when planning your shellfish lease activities. Division staff will review your Lease Management Plan to help determine if your lease type and acreage is compatible with the equipment, capital investment, and grow -out methods you intend to use. When your shellfish lease is approved by the division director, the Lease Management Plan will become a part of the legal lease contract by reference. Significant changes to grow -out methods, species, and navigational clearance will require submission of a modified management plan and approval by the division. AQUACULTURE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE: North Carolina Sea Grant can provide valuable assistance in helping you determine capital investment, lease size, grow -out methods, seed sources, and many other important items that will help your aquaculture venture succeed. https://ncseagrant.ncsu.edu/aquaculture/ Brunswick Community College: http•//www brunswickcc edu/professional-technical/aquaculture-technology/ Carteret Community College: http://www carteret edu/certificate-diploma-programs/aquaculture-technology-diploma/ The North Carolina Shellfish Growers Association, is an industry group that shellfish growers can join and network with other growers. http://www.ncshellfish.org/ The East Coast Shellfish Growers Association, is a regional association that includes great information on shellfish aquaculture including Best Management Practices. http://ecsga.org/ Version: DMF Lease App 2/2017 Page 6 of 19 S.

Public Health Information The following information is to provide awareness of the public health risks with shellfish as well as causes and impacts from temporary and permanent shellfish closures. An illness from your product or growing area closures can have a significant impact on your shellfish aquaculture business. We encourage applicants review and consider the permanent and temporary closure status where you site your lease and implement safe handling practices. Because shellfish are filter feeders, they provide valuable water quality benefits by filtering up to 40 gallons of water per day. However, they can also concentrate potential pathogens (bacteria and viruses) that cause illness in consumers, particularly when shellfish are consumed raw or undercooked. The DMF Shellfish Sanitation and Recreational Water Quality Section continuously sample waters to ensure the shellfish harvest areas of the coast are properly classified. Classification maps showing permanent closure areas can be viewed at: http://portal.ncdenr,org/web/mf/shellfish- closure-maps In addition to the permanent closures, heavy rainfall and the resultant runoff, or other events such as septic or sewage failures, chemical spills, etc. may cause temporary shellfish water closures. These events result in heavy pollutant loads washing into growing areas and may close growing areas for days to weeks depending upon the event. No shellfish harvest is allowed during this time. Not all pathogenic bacteria are associated with polluted waters. The National Shellfish Sanitation Program (NSSP) Model Ordinance and the US Food and Drug Administration require safe harvest and handling practices to reduce illness caused by post-harvest growth of Vibrio bacteria. Two species of concern are Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Vibrio bacteria occur naturally in our warm coastal waters and multiply rapidly once shellfish are removed from the water and exposed to warm ambient air temperatures. In order to decrease the risk of Vibrio illnesses, which are rare in NC, Shellfish Sanitation and the DMF have developed Time to Temperature limits for harvesting oysters and clams. Leaseholders harvesting oysters outside of the regular oyster season from shellfish leases must document time of harvest and follow restrictions set forth in DMF annual proclamations. Shellfish dealers must also document time to temperature for receiving, storage and shipping. Current proclamations specifying time to temperature controls are SS -1 and SS -2 on the DMF website. In some instances, a portion or the entire lease may be closed when the surrounding growing area is later reclassified and permanently closed by reason of pollution. Staff from DMF Shellfish Sanitation and Resource Enhancement work closely to notify lease holders that are impacted, by these reclassification closures so they can relay material off before the closure takes place. At this point, the lease may either be relinquished by the leaseholder or it will either be terminated for lack of production over time, or automatically expire at the end of the contract period and may not be renewed. No shellfish harvest is allowed once the permanent closure goes into effect. Contact the Shellfish Sanitation & Recreational Water Quality Section for up-to-date information at (252) 726-6827.
