Warren Creek Final Report Draft Feb 2022.docx
Executive Summary
In response to City of Durham (City) concerns about surface water and sediment quality, Brown and
Caldwell (BC) completed a special study of water and sediment quality in Warren Creek. The City's
concerns were primarily motivated by elevated levels of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
and metals in sediment at station EN1O.3WC near Horton Road. Study components included a
mapping evaluation of potential pollutant sources, sediment and surface water sampling, and
several risked -based methods to determine if the ambient water and sediment quality posed a threat
to human or aquatic health.
The Warren Creek watershed above monitoring station EN1O.3WC drains about 2.4 square miles
and is mostly residential with some public green space (Whippoorwill Park and the Warren Trail) and
commercial land use. The watershed contains no permitted industrial sources, hazardous waste
sites, or major municipal operation centers. Sanitary sewer overflows have occasionally been
reported in the watershed, which also contains some septic systems and sand filters. Overall, the
review of available sampling and mapping did not indicate a primary cause/source of PAHs or
metals.
Field sampling and laboratory analysis identified sediment concentrations above ecological
screening values (ESVs; USEPA 2018) in one or more locations. The screening evaluation identified
the chemicals of potential ecological concern (COPECs) as barium, chromium, cobalt, iron,
manganese, nickel, and PAHs.
Because ESVs are very conservative, a Screening -Level Risk Assessment (SLRA) was completed to
assess whether sediment concentrations are likely to represent a hazard concern to ecological life or
humans. The screening -level risk ecological assessment (SLERA) evaluated potential hazards to
several species of birds and mammals expected to be representative of the habitat. The SLERA
included a food chain model assessing risk via dietary and incidental sediment ingestion. No hazard
quotients (HQs) above the threshold of 1 were identified for metals, indicating that ecological risks
were low. High -molecular weight PAHs (HMWPAHs) exhibited HQs over 1 in several locations.
However, most COPEC concentrations were within the range of urban background and do not
indicate a specific contaminant source. Concentrations of cobalt and chromium were higher than
typical urban background range, but HQs of less than 1 indicate that these metals do not represent a
high ecological risk through the food chain.
Human health risks were assessed using the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality
(NCDEQ) risk calculator. Despite conservative assumptions about potential exposure to sediments,
estimated risks were below risk benchmarks. Thus human health risks were below levels of concern.
The data exhibited a lack of geospatial patterns that would indicate a concentrated or localized
source, such as co -occurrence of higher concentrations of different analytes, association with stream
characteristics, or gradients with concentrations gradually increasing or decreasing along the
stream. PAHs had similar molecular weight distributions across the sampled locations, which also
support a regional and dispersed origin rather a localized source. Based on this evaluation, the likely
sources of PAHs and metals in Warren are typical urban/suburban sources such as vehicular traffic,
other types of combustion, regional atmospheric deposition, occasional sanitary sewer overflows,
and household products. PAHs and most metals tend to correlate with sediment and solids in urban
stormwater. Coal tar -based pavement sealants are also a common source of PAHs in urban
watersheds.

Contaminant Risk Assessment and Improvement Opportunities Executive Summa
It is recommended to periodically monitor the COPECs in Warren Creek to confirm that
concentrations attenuate over time, or at least do not increase significantly. Many of the City's
existing MS4 control measures would be effective at reducing a wide range of pollutants including
PAHs and metals. Examples applicable to the Warren Creek watershed include public education on
the proper disposal of household wastes, maintenance of the pollution reporting hotline, dry weather
screening, erosion and sediment control, and post -construction pollution controls. Disuse of coal tar -
based pavement sealants represents a potential opportunity to further reduce PAH loading to Warren
Creek.

Introduction
The City of Durham (City) maintains an extensive surface water and sediment monitoring program
throughout the City. In September 2020, the City of Durham Public Works Department summarized
available stream sediment chemistry data from monitoring locations within Durham County and four
surrounding counties (City of Durham, 2020). Four of these sampling locations were located in
Warren Creek, a small tributary of the Eno River in the northern part of the City (Figure 1-1). Location
EN10.3WC, just south of Horton Road (Figure 1-2), revealed elevated levels of polynuclear aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs) and various inorganic elements, particularly the metals chromium and nickel, in
sediment samples collected in August 2013 and February 2014. The City's conclusion that these
concentrations were elevated was based on comparison with other regional sites and exceedance of
threshold effect concentrations (TECs; MacDonald et al 2000). Conversely, the sediment samples
did not exceed probable effect concentrations (PECs), and so the sampling results were inconclusive
regarding the environmental significance of the observed concentrations.
In response to concerns about surface water and sediment quality in Warren Creek, specifically in
the area near Horton Road, in 2020, the City's Stormwater and Geographic Information System (GIS)
Services Division of the Public Works Department engaged Brown and Caldwell (BC) to perform a
special study of the elevated inorganic and PAH concentrations in Warren Creek. The study elements
included:
• A desktop evaluation of potential pollutant sources, based on watershed characteristics and
available databases.
• A January 2021 field investigation that included water quality and sediment sampling at
10 stations in the Creek and tributaries upstream of and just downstream of Horton Road.
• Risk -based evaluations to determine if the ambient contaminant levels were problematic for
human or ecological health.
• Recommendations for potential improvement projects.
Previous deliverables on this project included a catalog of data compiled to support the study
(Appendix A), a quality assurance project plan (QAPP) for the field investigations (BC, 2020), and an
interim memo that summarized methods/results of the desktop evaluation and field investigations
(BC, 2021). The purpose of this final study report is to summarize all methods and results of all
major study components as listed above. This report presents interpretations of the likely sources(s)
of contaminants to Warren Creek, levels of risk to ecological and human health, and potential
improvement opportunities.

Section 2
Baseline Data Review
The baseline data review was performed to determine if the existing monitoring and mapping data
could provide insights into the nature and sources of contaminants in Warren Creek. It included a
review of data sources listed in the data catalog (Appendix A) including water quality and sediment
quality data, watershed characteristics, and public databases on potential pollutant sources.
2.1 Watershed Characteristics & Potential Sources
The following subsections describe the Warren Creek watershed as interpreted from GIS mapping
data and publicly available databases.
2.1.1 Land Use
Warren Creek is located in a mixed residential and commercial area. Land use adjacent to Warren
Creek is mostly residential, with parkland in the southern reaches and commercial areas to the
north, as illustrated in Figure 2-1. In the Eno River Watershed Improvement Plan (City of Durham,
2018), Warren Creek was noted to contain beaver dams, beaver activity, or debris dams in the area
south of Horton Road. This document also indicated the presence of septic systems, sand filters, and
sanitary sewer overflows within the Warren Creek watershed. The Warren Creek drainage area
upstream of Horton Road is approximately 23 percent impervious, indicating the developed nature of
the watershed.
Warren Creek Trail is a 10-foot-wide paved hiking and biking trail that runs for 0.75 miles to the east
of the Creek. It is 200 to 300 feet away from the Creek as the trail heads south from its trailhead at
Horton Road, and then runs immediately alongside the Creek from approximately 300 feet south of
Station WC-7 to its terminus in Whippoorwill Park (Figure 1-2). The trail traverses wooded areas that
provide habitat but are disturbed due to human pedestrian traffic as well as other activities as
evidenced by campfires and rubbish.
2.1.2 Sanitary and Storm Sewer Infrastructure
A sewer line runs along the eastern side of Warren Creek, with numerous manholes along its length
(Figure 2-2). Branch lines from residential and commercial areas intersect with this line in close
proximity to Warren Creek. There are also numerous stormwater outfalls within the immediate
drainage area of Warren Creek, with associated piping and open channels. These stormwater
conveyances serve mostly residential areas but include parkland and commercial uses as well.
2.1.3 Hazardous Sites
The North Carolina (NC) Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) maintains an online GIS
platform that contains data sets and GIS shapefiles for various data topics'. Shapefiles for
hazardous waste sites, inactive hazardous sites, contaminated dry-cleaning sites, UST incidents
(releases), AST incidents, and petroleum contaminated soil remediation permits were downloaded
from this website and mapped in relation to the Warren Creek watershed.

Contaminant Risk Assessment and Improvement Opportunities Section 2
The AST/UST data represent sites where there has been a release of petroleum to the soil and/or
groundwater from an AST or UST system, spills, or dumping. As shown in Figure 2-3, there are no
active or inactive hazardous waste sites or petroleum contaminated soil remediation permits within
the watershed. There is one contaminated dry-cleaning site within the watershed, upgradient Warren
Creek. There is also one contaminated dry-cleaning site just to the north of the northern boundary of
the watershed, near an active hazardous waste site. Two AST incidents were reported within the
watershed, as well as numerous UST incidents.
The NC Department of Water Resources (DWR) also maintains an online mapping tool of permitted
sources (NC DWR All -in -One Map2). This online mapping system was searched for National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Wastewater Discharge Permits, Non -Discharge Permits, Non -
Discharge Land Application Field Permits, Non -Discharge Wells, Animal Feed Operation Permits, 401
Certifications (Wetland Permits, Buffer Authorizations), NPDES Stormwater Permits, and State
Stormwater Permits. The only permitted entity that appeared in proximity to Warren Creek was the
401 Certification/Wetland Permit for the Warren Creek Trail, which runs along the eastern side of
Warren Creek as shown in Figure 2-4 below.
Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) tracks the management of certain toxic chemicals that may pose a
threat to human health and the environment. U.S. facilities in different industry sectors must report
annually how much of each chemical is released to the environment and/or managed through
recycling, energy recovery, and treatment (a "release" of a chemical means that it is emitted to the
air or water or placed in some type of land disposal). According to the online TRI mapper3, there is
one TRI reporting facility within a five -mile radius of the City of Durham sampling point EN10.3WC
near Horton Road on Warren Creek, as shown in Figure 2-5 below. This facility, Southern States
Durham Feed Mill, located at 812 Mallard Avenue in Durham, has not reported releases since 2007.
No further information was available on the TRI website or on Envirofacts
(htti3s://enviro.ei3a.gov/facts/tri/ef-facilities/#/Facility/27702STHRN901MA).
2.2 Surface Water and Sediment Quality Data
As noted in Section 1, the City of Durham has conducted surface water and sediment sampling in
various water bodies throughout the City. In September 2020, the City of Durham Public Works
Department summarized available stream sediment chemistry data from monitoring locations within
Durham County and four surrounding counties in the "Summary of Existing Stream Sediment
Chemistry Data in Durham County, NC and Surrounding Counties" (City of Durham, September
2020). Four of these sampling locations (Backwater 10WQ027, EN10.3WC, Midstream 10WQ027,
and Upstream 10WQ017) were located in Warren Creek (sampled by the City), and one location
(M24) was in a small tributary to Warren Creek (sampled by the Duke University Bernhardt Lab).
Location EN10.3WC revealed elevated levels of PAHs and inorganic constituents, particularly
chromium and nickel in sediment samples collected in August 2013 and February 2014. The other
sampling locations were only sampled for fecal coliform and total organic carbon (TOC).
In the Eno River Watershed Implementation Plan Data Collection Report (City of Durham, October
2014), detected constituents were compared with published TECs and PEC screening values.
Chromium concentrations in both 2013 and 2014 exceeded the TEC value with ratios of 1.65 and
2.07, indicating that toxicity to benthic aquatic life from chromium in sediment cannot be ruled out.

The elevated chromium in sediment did not appear to increase chromium concentrations in the
overlying waters. Chromium sediment concentrations did not exceed the PEC value. Nickel did not
exceed the TEC value, but was close to the TEC, with ratios of 0.62 and 0.67. Eight PAH constituents
were detected in both sediment samples in Warren Creek. Four of these constituents
[be nzo(a)anth race ne, chrysene, fluoranthene, and phenanthrene] had ratios greater than one for the
associated TEC values.
Screening values such as TECs represent concentrations below which no additional action or
evaluation is warranted. Concentrations above such screening levels do not necessarily indicate the
presence of risk. Rather, these benchmarks are used as a guide to determine if more attention is
required.
For surface water, the Eno River Watershed Implementation Plan Data Collection Report states that
pollutant and pollutant indicator concentrations were generally higher in the tributary sites than the
mainstem Eno River sites. In general, total suspended solids (TSS) and zinc concentrations were
higher during storm flow conditions, but there were no discernable differences in concentrations
between storm flow and baseflow or between mainstem sites and tributary sites for other
parameters measured during the study. The NC DWR water quality standards (WQS) were not
exceeded in any of the surface water samples. Dissolved fractions of copper, iron, lead, and zinc
were also compared to the USEPA's Continuous Criterion Concentration (CCC) and Criterion
Maximum Concentration (CIVIC). These thresholds were not exceeded in either of the samples
collected at EN10.3WC. The Eno River Watershed Improvement Plan (AECOM, 2018) states that
water quality in Warren Creek showed occasionally elevated concentrations of fecal coliform bacteria
and low dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations during three of the six monitored years, and elevated
total nitrogen during two of the six monitored years.
The City of Durham produces an annual "State of our Streams" report which includes a Water Quality
Index (WQI) rating, based on monitoring data of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), bacteria,
nutrients, turbidity, and metals. The WQI is a numerical grade that ranges from 0 (poor) to 100
(excellent) and indicates the overall health of the City's streams. In 2018, Warren Creek received a
WQI of 78, a value affected by high fecal coliform bacteria counts and high turbidity measurements.

Methods
This subsection identifies the field and risk assessment methods that BC employed for the Warren
Creek study. It describes the field sampling investigation and how the results from that investigation
were used in the screening -level ecological risk assessment and the human health screening.
3.1 Field Investigation
BC completed an investigation in January 2021 that included field observations and the collection of
surface water and sediment samples for chemical analysis. The field investigation focused on the
stream segment between Whippoorwill Park and the confluence of Warren Creek and the Eno River.
The objectives of the field investigation were to
• Characterize channel conditions and potential pollution sources, focused on the stream segment
between Whippoorwill Park and the confluence of Warren Creek and the Eno River
• Collect water quality and sediment quality data to
o Confirm previous sampling results
o Characterize the spatial variability in contaminant levels, with potential insights on sources
o Support subsequent risk evaluations
The field investigation was led by BC with assistance from Dramby Environmental Consulting, Inc.
(DEC). The field team collected 10 water grab samples and 10 sediment grab samples at locations
shown on Figure 3-1. Surficial (0-to-6-inch depth) sediment samples and surface water samples for
chemical analysis were sent to Pace Analytical Services (Pace) of Mount Juliet, Tennessee, a NC -
certified laboratory, supported by Pace facilities in Raleigh, NC, and Billings, Montana. Duplicate
water quality and sediment samples were collected at Station WC-2 for quality assurance purposes.
The team used handheld meters to measure field water quality parameters at each sampling
location. Table 3-1 lists the types of data that were collected. Full details on the field investigation
methods can be found in the QAPP (BC, 2020). The field data and analytical laboratory reports were
provided in Appendix B of the Interim Memo.

3.2 Screening -Level Ecological Risk Assessment
The screening -level risk ecological assessment (SLERA) adheres to the procedures described in
guidance from the North Carolina Division of Waste Management (NC DNR, 2003) and EPA Region 4
(EPA, 2018). Both reference the same set of screening levels and are based on Federal EPA
ecological risk assessment guidance (EPA 1997). The SLERA constitutes the first two steps in the
eight -step ecological risk assessment process:
1. Screening -Level Problem Formulation and Ecological Effects Evaluation
2. Screening -Level Exposure Estimate and Risk Calculation
3. Baseline Problem Formulation
4. Study Design and Data Quality Objectives (DQO) Process
5. Field Verification of Sampling Design
4 The TAIL list includes the non-metals arsenic and selenium.

Contaminant Risk Assessment and Improvement Opportunities
Section 3
6. Site Investigation and Data Analysis
7. Risk Characterization
8. Risk Management
The steps within the SLERA are described further below.
Step 1: Screening -Level Problem Formulation and Ecological Effects Evaluation: this step details the
key environmental aspects in defining risk management decisions at the site and includes
information on
• Environmental setting and contaminants known or suspected at the site
• Contaminant fate and transport mechanisms that may exist
• The mechanisms of ecotoxicity associated with contaminants and likely affected receptors
• Identification of complete exposure pathways
• Selection of endpoints to screen for ecological risk
• A preliminary ecological effects evaluation that compares observed concentrations to
conservative ecotoxicity values
Step 1 includes identification of ecological screening values (ESVs) for use in the SLERA. As stated in
USEPA Region 4 guidance (USEPA, 2018), "ecological screening values are based on chemical
concentrations associated with a low probability of unacceptable risks to ecological receptors."
Concentrations below ESVs can be ruled out as being of concern. Concentrations over ESVs do not
necessarily indicate ecological risk but are thresholds for additional evaluation. In many cases,
concentrations above ESVs are not an ecological problem or may present negligible risk to the local
ecological communities (such as in urban settings where less sensitive species may be present or
where habitat constraints and other ecological pressures may be more important than chemical
exposures). The EPA Region 4 TECs and PECs are also useful ecotoxicity values.
Surface water quality criteria and sediment screening values were used to identify chemicals of
potential ecological concern (COPECs). The selected screening values were EPA (2018) Region 4
Freshwater Screening Values. TECs, and PECs from MacDonald and others (2000) were also
referenced for consistency with earlier City evaluations. The COPEC selection is presented along with
the analytical data in Section 4.
Step 2: Screening -Level Preliminary Exposure Estimate and Risk Calculation: In this step, the
maximum concentrations of chemicals in each medium are compared to ESVs. Constituents with
concentrations over ESVs are identified as COPECs. The ratio is expressed as a screening -level
Hazard Quotient (HQ). This preliminary HQ ratio is used as the initial screen and is different from the
HQ calculated as part of more specific food chain modeling (discussed below in Section 5.3.1).
The SLERA process includes developing a conceptual site model (sources, contaminants, and
effects), performing more focused screening, and developing a screening -level food chain model. The
food chain model estimates the uptake from sediments to invertebrates and vegetation that serve as
food sources and then compares the estimated intakes to toxicity -based benchmarks for receptors
(species types) expected to be present.
The Region 4 EPA guidance also allows the consideration of habitat quality, frequency and
magnitude of detection, biomagnification potential, and background. This context allows a weight -of -
evidence evaluation as to whether the observed sediment concentrations represent unacceptable
ecological risk.

Warren Creek Final Report Draft Feb 2022.docx
Contaminant Risk Assessment and Improvement
Section 3
3.2.1 Food Chain Model
Hazards calculated in the food chain model are based on a ratio of estimated intake to a reference
value that represents acceptable intake:
Intake HQ _
TRV
Equation 1
Where:
HQ = Hazard Quotient (unitless)
Intake = Daily dose of analyte (milligrams per kilogram animal's body weight per day [mg/kg-
day])
TRV = Toxicity Refence Value (mg/kg-day)
BW = Animal's body weight (kg)
The TRV is equivalent to the no -observed adverse effect level or "safe" dose for exposure to the
contaminant. TRVs are published by various agencies such as EPA and Oak Ridge National
Laboratories. An HQ value over 1 indicates a potential for ecological risk that could require further
evaluation. An HQ under 1 indicates negligible potential for ecological risk.
Intake is calculated by estimating the concentration in sediment and the dietary item and combining
it with the food intake and estimated incidental sediment ingestion (which is calculated as a fraction
of food intake) of the animal:
Intake (mg chemical l =FIR ( kg food 1 x Cdiet ( mg )+ [C,ed ( mg ) x FS])
kg -day J \kg-BW-dayJ kg foodkg sed
Equation 2
Where:
FIR = Food ingestion rate (kg dry weight food per kg body weight per day)
Cdiet = Concentration of COPEC in the dietary item (plants or invertebrates)
Csed = Concentration of chemical in sediment
FS = Incidentally ingested sediment as fraction of FIR (unitless)
Individual COPEC HQs for each receptor are summed to provide an overall conservative estimate of
hazard for each receptor across COPECs:
Total HQ for receptor = HQs
YCOPECs
Equation 3
The intake is calculated by estimating the concentration in sediment and the dietary item and
combining it with the food intake and estimated incidental sediment ingestion (which is calculated
as a fraction of food intake) of the animal:
Intake = FIR X ( Cdiet + LCsed x FS])
Equation 4
3-5
Warren Creek Final Report Draft Feb 2022.docx
Contaminant Risk Assessment and Improvement Opportunities Section 3
Where:
FIR = Food ingestion rate (kg dry weight per body weight per day)
Cdiet = Concentration of chemical of potential concern in the dietary item (plants or
invertebrates; mg/kg food)
Csed = Concentration of chemical in sediment (mg/kg)
FS = Fraction of sediment in diet (unitless)
In more complex food chain model studies, various additional scaling factors can be applied. These
include an area use factor to account for large home ranges/partial time foraging on site, a seasonal
use factor to account for migration, and statistical estimates of concentration over multiple sampling
locations. Intake can also be allocated among different dietary sources for animals that, for example
are omnivorous. In a screening -level food chain model, however, it is assumed that each receptor is
a full-time, year-round resident exposed to a specific location. The screening approach provides a
worst -case estimate of potential risk so that the benefit of additional risk evaluation can be
determined.
The food chain model tables in Appendix B provide the details of the assumptions and calculations. A
brief discussion of key inputs follows below.
3.2.2 Exposure Point Concentrations
The Exposure Point Concentration (EPC) is the chemical concentration in sediment. At most of the
sampling locations, there is only one round of sediment quality data. Therefore, the EPC for each
chemical of potential concern (COPEC) at each station was the reported concentration from the field
investigation that BC completed in January 2021(see Table 5-2 in Section 5).
3.2.3 Uptake Factors
Chemical concentrations in dietary items were estimated using published uptake factors. Where a
specific factor for plants or benthic invertebrates for a given COPEC was not available from regulatory
agency compendia, values were obtained from the literature. Plant uptake factors for sediment are
generally not available so soil -to -plant values were used. The algorithms, variable values, and
associated references appear in Table 2 in Appendix B.
3.2.4 Dietary Intakes
Intakes were estimated based on published food and incidental sediment (soil) intake rates for each
receptor species. The risk calculations shown for each species appear in Appendix C.
3.2.5 Toxicity Reference Values
TRVs were obtained where available from EPA (published in EcoSSL documents, as referenced in
Table 3 of Appendix B) or Oak Ridge National Laboratories. The exception was the avian TRVs for
PAHs, which were not available in the EcoSSL documents and were obtained from the risk
assessment for the Casmalia Resources Superfund Site prepared for EPA and the State of California.
3.3 Human Health Screening
A human health screening was also conducted for Warren Creek for the same constituents evaluated
for ecological risk: barium, chromium, cobalt, iron, manganese, nickel, low -molecular -weight PAHs
(LMWPAHs) and high -molecular -weight PAHS (HMWPAHs). In human health risk assessment these
are known as Chemicals of Potential Concern (COPCs). Human health risk assessment evaluates two
endpoints:

Contaminant Risk Assessment and Improvement Opportunities Section 3
ELCR = Dose x CSF
Where:
ELCR = Excess Lifetime Cancer Risk (unitless)
Dose = Intake (mg/kg-day)
CSF = Cancer Slope Factor (mg/kg-day)-1
Cancer risks are summed for all chemicals:
Total ELCR = ELCRs
Y'CoPcS
Equation 5
Equation 6
• Noncancer toxic effects, expressed as HQ (for individual chemicals) and Hazard Index (HI, equal
to the sum of the HQs); these are calculated as ratios of the estimated daily intake to doses
expected to be without risk of noncancer toxic effects over a lifetime:
Dose
HQ RfD
HI = Y, HQs
where:
HQ = Hazard Quotient (unitless)
Dose = Intake (mg/kg-day)
RfD = Reference Dose (mg/kg-day)
HI = Hazard Index
Equation 7
Equation 8
Risks were evaluated for Warren Creek exposure using the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality (NCDEQ 2021) Risk Calculator (Calculator). The Calculator was used to
estimate risks for a recreator. The exposure assumptions in the Calculator for the recreator are very
conservative:
• A child aged 0 to 6 years
• Direct contact with sediment 195 days per year for two hours per day
• Sediment covering head, hands, forearms, lower legs, and feet
• Sediment that adheres at a rate of 2 milligrams per square centimeter of skin (mg/cm2), which
is about three times what is typically assumed for an adult
• Accidental ingestion of 200 mg of sediment, which is twice the total soil amount that is typically
assumed for an adult
The maximum detected concentration in sediment from any of the 10 locations

Contaminant Risk Assessment and Improvement Opportunities Section 3
Additional details appear in the Risk Calculator input and output tables (Appendix C).
NCDEQ establishes the following risk targets:
ELCR of 1 x1O-6 (one in a million) for individual contaminants, and 1 x1O-4 (one in 10,000) for the
sum of the risks for all contaminants
HQ of 0.2 for individual contaminants, and HI (sum of HQs) of 1
Details of the methodology are included in the Risk Calculator inputs and outputs (Appendix C). The
human health screening also includes a qualitative discussion of the potential for bioaccumulation
into small game fish.

Section 4
Results - Water Quality
This section presents a summary of the results of the field investigation of Warren Creek that BC
completed January 6 and 7, 2021, with a focus on channel characteristics and surface water quality.
4.1 Stream and Channel Characteristics
Field parameters and notes, including stream width, water depth, flow, and general observations are
presented in the Interim Memo (BC 2021). In general, wetted stream width ranged between 1.5 feet
at WC-3 and 15 feet at WC-5, where water was diverted around a gravel island/peninsula. Water
depth was shallow, ranging from less than 1 inch to 5 inches, and stream velocity ranged from zero
(stagnant water) to just over 1 foot per second (ft/sec). Warren Creek was described as "sinuous" at
most of the locations, and erosion/eroded banks were common throughout the sampling area. A
stormwater outfall was noted near sample location WC 2, two culverts were observed along the
Warren Creek trail at location WC-4, and a sewer manhole was observed in the area adjacent to WC-
8. Trash was observed at locations WC-2, WC-5, and WC-8; a discarded automobile fuel tank was
also observed near WC-8.
4.2 Surface Water Results
Field parameters and grab sample results are discussed in separate subsections below.
4.2.1 Field Parameters
Field parameter measurements from the field investigation are provided in Appendix D. The water
was relatively clear, with most turbidity less than 6 nephelometric turbidity units [NTU] at most
stations. The highest turbidity was noted at WC-6 (185 NTU). DO saturation was relatively low
(59.7 percent) at station WC-6, although the DO concentration at 6.64 milligrams per liter [mg/L])
was above the state WQS of 5 mg/L. DO saturation was greater than 75 percent at all other stations,
with the highest value of 119.1 percent (13.9 mg/L) observed at WC-7. Total dissolved solids (TDS)
was low, ranging from 0.014 grams per liter (g/L) at WC-1 to 9.98 g/L at WC-4. The pH was in the
6.5 - 7.0 range at most stations, but was less than 6.5 at four stations and as low as 5.5 at station
WC-3. The lower pH values were observed in locations where relatively stagnant water was in contact
with decaying vegetative material. Overall, the water quality parameters collected in the field did not
indicate any specific locations with major water quality concerns.
4.2.2 Grab Sample Results
Surface water analytical results for detected constituents are summarized below in Table 4-1.
Appendix E includes the comparison of results to ESVs, specifically, the USEPA Region 4 Freshwater
Screening Values. There were very few exceedances of ESVs, and those exceedances were minor.
Iron and manganese concentrations exceeded the chronic screening values at WC-6 (iron only
slightly); manganese was below the acute value. These screening values are for unfiltered samples.
WC-6 had higher turbidity than the other stations, and the dissolved concentrations of these metals
were in the range of other stations. No other inorganic constituent exceeded the screening values.
Benzo(g,h,i)perylene and indeno(1,2,3-c,d) pyrene concentrations exceeded both the non -narcotic
and narcotic chronic values at WC-6. The observations were all trace (in the part -per -trillion range),
4-1
Warren Creek Final Report Draft Feb 2022.docx
Contaminant Risk Assessment and Improvement Opportunities Section 4
but some of the chronic screening values are similarly very low. Particulate matter in the surface
water at WC-6, a tributary with leafy debris, appears to account for all of these exceedances. PAHs
have low aqueous solubility and tend to sorb to particulate matter. Areas with debris generally have
higher suspended solids, so unfiltered water samples often reflect PAHs in suspended sediment and
not as dissolved contaminants in surface water.
It should be noted that the method detection limits (MDLs) for mercury were higher than the wildlife
acute and wildlife chronic screening values, but mercury concentrations did not exceed the aquatic
acute or aquatic chronic values at any location. The MDL for silver was higher than the aquatic
chronic ESV, but silver did not exceed the acute ESV at any station. The MDLs for benzo(a)pyrene,
benzo(g,h,i)perylene, and indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene were higher than the lowest of the screening level;
however, these constituents did not exceed the remaining screening levels.
Appendix F includes the comparison of surface water sampling results to North Carolina WQS. WQS
for several inorganic constituents were also calculated based on site -specific laboratory -calculated
hardness values. Hardness (as calcium carbonate [CaC031) exceeded the WQS for water supply at
WC-9 and WC-10; since Warren Creek is not an actual water supply these observations are not of
concern. No inorganic constituents exceeded the WQS. Total PAHs exceeded the water supply WQS
at WC-6; there are no WQS for individual PAHs, either for aquatic life/secondary recreation or for
water supply. It should be noted that the MDL for mercury (0.1 micrograms per liter [pg/L]) was
higher than the WQS (0.012 pg/L).
Fecal coliform concentrations were slightly above the WQS for protection of aquatic life of
200 colony -forming units per 100 milliliters (cfu/100 mL) at WC-9 (240 cfu/100 mL) but ranged
from 6 to 182 cfu/100 mL at the other locations. There is no carbonaceous BOD 5-day (CBOD5)
standard, but, with the exception of 4.2 mg/L at WC-7, results were consistent at all stations and in
the range of 1 mg/L, indicating low levels of oxygen -demanding substances. Total phosphorus (TP)
concentrations were generally less than 80 pg/L, the City TP benchmark applied as part of its WQI
[City of Durham, 20181), with the exception of 82 pg/L at WC-2 and 135 pg/L at WC-6. Ammonia was
not detected. Overall, water quality was good in Warren Creek, with few exceedances of ESVs or
water quality criteria. The few exceedances that were observed were minor in magnitude. Although
Warren Creek is not a public water supply, the single exceedance of the water supply WQS for total
PAHs (at WC-6) indicates that whatever PAH source(s) are affecting the sediment can also cause
above -background concentrations in surface water. The surface water sampling results did not
indicate an impairment of any use of Warren Creek, and the remainder of the investigation focused
on sediment quality.

Warren Creek Final Report Draft Feb 2022.docx
Contaminant Risk Assessment and Improvement Opportunities Section 4
This section describes the observations and analytical data from the sediment investigation.
The water quality analyses and field parameters collected did not indicate any specific locations with
major water quality concerns. Overall, there is no apparent pattern of WQls suggesting a sanitary
sewer leak, and water quality overall is good.
The lowest concentrations of many of the metals were observed at Warren Creek tributary location
WC-8, which had no HQs above 1(see Tables 5-4 and 5-5 for the screening -level HQ ratios).
However, it was also the location with the highest PAH concentrations. As shown on the contaminant
distribution figures (Figures 5-1 through 5-7), there was no consistency as to where the highest
concentrations of various analytes were detected. Station WC-2 (by Horton Road) had the highest
number of HQs over 1, but these HQs were not that different from other locations. There were only
two screening -level HQs over 5, and these were for different analytes at different locations
(chromium at WC-2 and barium at WC-10, the most upstream location sampled).
Overall, the data exhibit a lack of geospatial patterns, such as co -occurrence of higher
concentrations of different analytes, association with stream characteristics, or gradients with
concentrations gradually increasing or decreasing along the stream. The similar HMW PAH arrays at
the different stations suggest that PAH analytes in Warren Creek are the result of widespread
sources. Potential sources for contaminants entering Warren Creek are discussed in Section 6.

Section 5
Results - Sediment Quality
This section presents a summary of the results of the field investigation of Warren Creek that BC
completed January 6 and 7, 2021, with a focus on sediment characteristics and quality. It also
presents the results of the SLERA, including the food chain model and human health screening.
5.1 Sediment Morphology
Grain size and TOC analysis results are summarized below in Table 5-1. Refer to Figure 3-1 for
locations. Most of the sediment samples were sandy with varying amount of silt and TOC content
that ranged from less than 1 to 5 percent. The relatively high TOC content of sample WC-6
(5 percent) was associated with leafy debris.

5.2 Sediment Chemistry
Sediment analytical results are summarized in Table 5-2. Bold values in Table 5-2 indicate the
exceedance of one or more screening values (USEPA Region 4 freshwater sediment screening
values). Appendix G provides the full tabulation of screening values in conjunction with the sediment

quality results. As indicated in the Table 5-2, six metals (barium, chromium, copper, iron manganese
and nickel) and PAH compounds had maximum observed concentrations over an ESV.6 These
constituents are the COPECs that are addressed further in the SLRA (Section 5.3). Additional
discussion of sediment quality appears below. Further discussion of these screening values appears
in subsections on SLRA (Section 5.3) and human health screening (Section 5.4).
6Copper exceeded the ESV of 31.5 mg/kg (see Appendix G) by a small margin in one sample (39.5 mg/kg at WC-2), but the
duplicate at this station showed a much lower concentration (15.7 mg/kg); thus the overall concentration is not concluded
to exceed the ESV and is several fold below the RSV of 149 mg/kg. Copper is not retained as a COPEC.

Contaminant Risk Assessment and Improvement Opportunities
Section 5
Figures 5-1 through 5-6 present the concentration distributions of the COPECs. Overall, there is no
particular location that exhibited elevated concentrations of multiple COPECs. Rather, the maximum
concentrations of metals and PAHs were observed at different locations throughout Warren Creek
and its tributaries. Location WC-6 had the highest TOC concentration (from leafy debris) and also the
highest concentrations PAHs and some other COPECs such as iron and manganese. This provides
some evidence that organic content is one of the variables that explains the variability of COPEC
concentrations between locations. However, most other locations had relatively similar TOC content,
and no other apparent relationship exists between concentrations of metals and PAHs and either
grain size or TOC.
Figure 5-7 shows the range of concentrations of HMWPAHs at each location. PAHs were only
detected at concentrations above the bulk screening levels at locations WC-1 and WC-8. The array of
HMWPAHs detected at each station is shown in Figure 5-8. The pattern was similar in all locations,
despite concentrations ranging by over an order of magnitude. This is true even for samples from
independent drainage areas; for example, locations WC-6, WC-8, and WC-9. The similarity of the PAH
arrays suggests that PAHs in stream sediments are all from a similar regional source or type of
source (petroleum, combustion, etc.), with the range of concentrations due to localized conditions.
Likewise, it also suggests that the PAHs are not derived from discrete upstream sources, which
would tend to result in different PAH arrays for different drainage areas. Additional discussion of
potential sources of sediment contamination appears in Section 6.
Table 5-3 presents a comparison of the results from the sediment sampling completed by the City
several years ago and the recent sampling event. The 2013/2014 Station EN10.3WC, just north
(downstream) of the bridge at Horton Road, is closest to the 2021 station WC-2. Data for location
WC-2 are also shown. Concentrations of several metals (chromium, copper, lead, nickel, and zinc)
were higher in the more recent sampling event. However, the WC-2 duplicate pair information also
indicates that there is a lot of variability even within one pair of grab samples collected at the same
time. Furthermore, sampling and analytical methodologies may have differed. It is not possible to
draw trend conclusions from this limited data set.
There is a large literature database on urban background, but most studies are not representative
for comparative use here because they address soil rather than stream sediment, are from
agricultural or heavily industrial areas, are international, are from estuarine or marine systems, or
only report selected metals. For this study, urban background values were derived from Bain and
others (2012) because the authors provide an extensive list of parameters that included all Warren
Creek COPECs, and because the mid -Atlantic study location (Baltimore, MD) is more comparable to
Warren Creek than most other references. The urban background values were used to provide
perspective on the Warren Creek findings.
Figure 5-9 presents a comparison of observed sediment concentrations in Warren Creek to urban
sediment background concentrations reported by Bain and others (2012). For four of the metals
(barium, iron, manganese and nickel), the Warren Creek concentration range encompassed the
reported mean background concentration. Cobalt and chromium were notably higher than
background as defined by Bain and others (2012). These observations should be used with caution
as the comparison is only based on one Warren Creek sampling event and one literature study.
However, the comparison does suggest that the majority of the metals that exceeded screening
levels are likely to be consistent with background for this type of watershed. In addition, the other
(non-COPEC) inorganic analytes did not exceed screening levels.

5.3 Screening -Level Ecological Risk Assessment
The Screening -Level Ecological Risk Assessment (SLRA) provides a conservative assessment as to
whether the contamination conditions in sediment potentially pose a hazard to either ecological or
humans health.
5.3.1 Step 1: Screening -Level Problem Formulation and Ecological Effects Evaluation
Ecological Setting
Much of the descriptive information for this step of the SLERA was gathered and presented as part of
the Data Catalog (Appendix A) and Interim Memo (BC 2021). The Data Catalog characterized the
Warren Creek area and compiled information on local and regional sources to Warren Creek. Horton
Road may be one localized source of loading to sediments. Other sources in the area have been
documented in the Data Catalog and include stormwater, sewers, dumping and discharges such as
tanks. stormwater run-off, point source discharges, and atmospheric deposition may all contribute to
urban sediment contamination
Conceptual Model
Surface water in Warren Creek is generally of good quality. Sediments contain varying concentrations
of metals and PAHs, which, as detailed further below, are above ecological screening levels. There is
no consistent pattern as to where the higher concentrations were. The relative concentrations of
individual PAH compounds were similar in all 10 locations (see Figure 2-4). These observations

suggest that the sediment quality is related to the urbanized setting and is not a result of a particular
source or release.
Affected receptors are sediment -dwelling life (benthos) and aquatic or semi -aquatic animal species
(birds and mammals) that live or forage in the Warren Creek. Wildlife is most likely to be exposed by
consumption of food (plants or benthos) that has accumulated contaminants. Direct toxicity to
benthos and food chain effects to higher -level wildlife are the key endpoints of concern.
The USEPA Region 4 ESVs as well as the TECs and PECs are appropriate ecotoxicity values for initial
screening. These benchmarks are intended to address the range of potential toxicity mechanisms,
including direct exposure to sediment -dwelling life and food chain effects to animals higher on the
food chain.
5.3.2 Step 2: Screening -Level Preliminary Exposure Estimate and Risk Calculation
Comparison of observed concentrations to screening levels was completed as part of the field
evaluation, as discussed in Section 4. Surface water showed minimal exceedances of screening
levels and no exceedances of water quality standards. Surface water can therefore be ruled out as a
matrix of concern.
Concentrations of constituents (metals and PAHs) detected in sediment were evaluated against
United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Region 4 (2018) Freshwater Sediment ESVs,
Refined Screening Values (RSV), and wildlife -based screening values (ESV-WL and RSV-WL). RSVs
are based on less conservative values than ESVs. For example, they may represent concentrations
associated with the lowest observed adverse effects, rather than no effects, or be based on effects
in less sensitive species. For these reasons RSVs may be more appropriate than ESVs for use in
urbanized settings where highly sensitive species are not expected.
Further understanding of the magnitude of the exceedances can be derived from the screening -level
HQ:
Screening -Level HQ =

Screening Level (mg/kg)
Equation 9
Barium, chromium, cobalt, iron, manganese and nickel exceeded screening levels in one or more
samples, as did several PAH compounds (see Table 5-2 and Appendix E). These constituents were
carried forward in the SLERA and Human Health Screening, as described in the following sections.
In Table 5-4, screening -level HQs are presented for the metal COPECs. HQs are shown for both the
ESV ("screening HQ") and RSV ("refined HQ") for each constituent. Table 5-5 shows the HQs based
on the ESVs and RSVs for individual PAH compounds, total (HMW) PAHs, and total PAHs at stations
WC-1 and WC-8 (where ESV exceedances were observed). HQs based on the lower of the screening
values were greater than 2 for total HMW PAHs at WC-1, and for all PAHs that exceeded a screening
value at WC-8, the highest single constituent HQ being 4 (for pyrene).
Screening ecotoxicity values are derived to avoid underestimating risk and should not serve as a
basis for risk management actions (USEPA, 2015). Most of the screening -level HQs are below 5, and
none were over 10, indicating that concentrations are not markedly elevated even compared to
conservative screening benchmarks. As noted previously, screening levels are concentrations below

which ecological concerns can be ruled out. However, much higher concentrations may exist also
without hazardous effects.
As shown in the table, the barium concentration exceeded both high and low screening values at
WC-10, chromium exceeded both high and low screening values at WC-2, and iron exceeded both
high and low screening values at WC-1. HQs based on the lower screening value were greater than 2
(concentrations more than twice the screening value) for barium (nine locations), chromium (six
locations), iron (five locations), manganese (three locations), and nickel (six locations).

5.3.3 Screening -Level Food Chain Model
The food chain model was prepared to determine whether the observed sediment concentrations of
COPECs present a potential concern to local wildlife that may be obtaining prey which have
bioaccumulated metals or PAHs from sediment. The methodology for the modeling was described in
Section 3.2.1. The full food chain model calculations appear in Appendix B.
Representative mammal and bird species were omnivorous mammal (raccoon), herbivorous
mammal (muskrat), invertivorous bird (heron) and herbivorous bird (mallard). These are commonly
evaluated species used in food chain models for their respective receptor guilds. Heron typically
consume more fish than invertebrates, but fish concentrations are difficult to estimate (and typically
lower in concentration than sediment -dwelling species) and therefore most simple food chain
models conservatively assume that the heron's diet is invertebrates.
The HQs were calculated separately for the four receptors for each constituent at each station.
Cumulative risk from all constituents evaluated to each of the four receptors at each station was
then calculated separately as an overall HQ (see Equation 3). A summary of the total HQ values is
shown below in Table 5-6. This overall HQ is very conservative because it also assumes that the
potential toxic effects from all the COPECs are additive.
As shown, none of the screening -level HI values were above 1, even with the conservative
assumptions used. It can therefore be concluded that metals and PAHs do not represent a potential
ecological risk via the food chain.

5.3.4 Uncertainties
The screening -level risks are based on a range of conservative assumptions about site usage, diet,
uptake into dietary items, and toxicity. The selected species are likely to represent receptors that live
in the area. However, they may ingest prey or soil/sediment in multiple locations including upland
areas and are not likely to be exposed to only one sediment location.
The data are from one round of grab samples in specific locations and may not reflect changing
conditions or sediment quality at other locations.
Uptake into food items is difficult to model. For example, PAHs are not particularly bioaccumulative
(ATSDR 2004), as reflected in the low uptake factors (see Table 2 in Appendix B), and without actual
measurement of dietary items, exposure is uncertain. The extent to which exposures are associated
with risk is also uncertain, as TRVs are deliberately designed to be conservative and reflect no -
observed effect levels with additional safety factors. Thus, the TRVs are intakes intended to be well
below risk thresholds.
The food chain model does not address direct toxicity to benthic (sediment -dwelling) life. Screening
levels (ESVs) do reflect the range of potential exposures but are intended to rule out, not predict,
risk. Where concentrations are below ESVs, there is relatively little uncertainty regarding the
conclusion that the constituent is not an ecological concern. While exceedances cannot be used to
draw definitive conclusions about the potential for hazard, the fact that the screening -level HQs were
generally below 5 indicates that risk is unlikely.
Overall, the finding of no HQs greater than one for metals and PAHs indicates that very low risk is
associated with actual hazard to invertebrates in the Warren Creek system. Regardless, any risks are
reflective of the urbanized setting and not a particular contamination condition, as discussed in
Section 6. To reduce the potential for risk, various control measures to reduce contaminant loading
can be pursued, as discussed further in Section 7.

5.4 Human Health Screening
This section presents an overview and screening of human health exposure and risk associated with
Warren Creek sediments. Human health risk assessment evaluates two endpoints:
Cancer, expressed as excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR), the hypothetical risk of cancer over a
lifetime; the ELCR is calculated as daily intake multiplied by a slope factor that expresses the
risk of cancer relative to dose
Noncancer toxic effects, expressed as HQ (for individual chemicals) and HI (equal to the sum of
the HQs); these are calculated as ratios of the estimated daily intake to doses expected to be
without risk of noncancer toxic effects over a lifetime
As described in Section 3.3, risks were evaluated for Warren Creek exposure using the NCDEQ Risk
Calculator (Calculator) for the same constituents evaluated for ecological risk: barium, chromium,
cobalt, iron, manganese, nickel, LMWPAHs, and HMWPAHs. NCDEQ establishes the following risk
to rgets:
• ELCR of 1 x1O-6 (one in a million) for individual contaminants, and 1 x1O-4 (one in 10,000) for the
sum of the risks for all contaminants
HQ of 0.2 for individual contaminants, and HI (sum of HQs) of 1.
5.4.1 Exposure Pathways
Typical human health exposure pathways associated with sediments are soil direct contact pathways
(incidental [unintended] ingestion and dermal contact by waders) and ingestion of fish that have
bioaccumulated contaminants. In most cases, skin contact with sediment is not a concern since
sediments tend to be wet and wash off easily rather than adhering to skin. However, given the
accessibility of the Creek to walking areas and the possible presence of drier material along the
edges, sediment could behave as soil and be contacted and adhere to skin.
Fish ingestion is considered a de minimis concern. There may be some recreational fishing in deeper
pooled areas, but fish from Warren Creek are unlikely to present a significant dietary source for local
residents. In addition, metals and PAHs are generally not bioaccumulators (in contrast with
contaminants such as pesticides). Mercury, the one metal that does substantially bioaccumulate in
fish, was undetected in previous samples, except an estimated trace of 0.054 mg/kg in one sample,
well below screening levels.
5.4.2 Exposure and Toxicity Assumptions
The Calculator includes a set of calculations and assumptions for estimating risk associated with
recreational contact. The Calculator was run for this Recreator scenario using the maximum
observed sediment concentrations as the EPCs; results appear in Appendix C.
As detailed in Section 3.3, the exposure assumptions in the Calculator for the Recreator are very
conservative. The input details (assumptions, equations, toxicity factors, and NCDEQ risk targets)
appear in the Calculator input and output tables (the summary is output table 2B, "Sitewide Risk").
5.4.3 Human Health Risk Results
Using the maximum value of each of the constituents of concern in Warren Creek, the calculated
cumulative ELCR was 7.5E-07 (7.5 in 10 million), more than two orders of magnitude below the
NCDEQ cumulative risk benchmark of 1E-04 (one in 10,000). The calculated HI was 0.16, well below
the NCDEQ hazard index target of 1.
The estimated human health risks are below NCDEQ risk targets. Thus, despite the extremely
conservative assumptions, human health risks screen well below levels of concern.
5-21
Warren Creek Final Report Draft Feb 2022.docx
Section 6
Potential Sources
As discussed in Section 5, the pattern of contaminants in sediments suggested that contaminants
were more likely derived from regional and dispersed urban background than large, discrete, or
concentrated sources. Rather, the maximum concentrations of various metals and PAHs occurred at
different locations throughout the Warren Creek study area. It was not possible to identify a specific
source or sources. Much of the influence may come from stormwater road run-off or other nonpoint
sources. It is possible that some releases may be associated with specific point sources such as
historic spills, outfalls, or unidentified commercial or residential discharges; run-off from Horton
Road may be source. However, no apparent relationship between observed chemical concentrations
and locations or specific environmental elements was noted, with the exception that the relatively
high TOC content at location WC-6 might have been a factor in the higher PAH concentrations there.
The similarity in PAH arrays between locations and the lack of spatial patterns in COPEcs suggests
that sources are likely diffuse.
6.1 Metals
Table 6-1 presents a summary of typical environmental sources of the COPEC metals. Most of the
major sources are from industrial activities that were not identified in the Warren Creek watershed.
Petroleum combustion and household products are typical urban sources.
Metals tend to adsorb to particles that settle as sediments. The observation that surface water was
compliant with water quality standards while sediments exceeded screening levels is typical. The
extent to which individual metals partition into sediments depends on the physico-chemical
characteristics of the source material as well as the receiving water location. Certain zones may be
depositional in nature and act as local sinks. However, the typical variables that are associated with
sediment contaminant accumulation (fine grain size, high organic carbon) did not relate to
concentrations in this investigation.
6.2 PAHs
Based on initial screening and data evaluation, PAH compounds appear to be regional in the vicinity
of Warren Creek. In addition, they are not notably elevated compared to typical urbanized PAH
concentrations. The maximum concentration of PAHs was 2.1 mg/kg at station WC 8. PAHs in
urbanized waterway sediments have been generally reported in the low mg/kg concentration range
(Stout et al 2004; Artigas et al 2018; Wang et al 2004). Urbanized soils (which are a source to
sediment) are also in the mg/kg range (ATSDR 2004; Sugihara et al 2020; Wang et al 2004).
Overall, the observed concentrations in Warren Creek are not indicative of particularly contaminated
conditions but appear to reflect urbanized contributions. PAHs in Warren Creek sediments are within
typical urban background ranges.

Contaminant Risk Assessment and Improvement Opportunities
Section 6
Several literature sources (Tobiszewski and Namiesnik 2012; Wang et al 2004) indicate that ratios
of various combinations of PAHs at a particular location can estimate whether the source of the
PAHs is from pyrolytic processes (burning; fuel combustion in automobiles, e.g.) or petrogenic (the
slow maturation of organic matter). These ratios are calculated and presented in Table 6-2 for PAHs
detected in Warren Creek sediments. For example, the ratio of LMW to HMW PAHs is generally less
than 1 for Warren Creek sediments, which indicates a primarily pyrogenic source. The ratios
presented in Table 6-2 indicate pyrogenic sources such as traffic emissions and other combustion -
related sources, although a few of the ratios were inconclusive due to some of the PAHs not being
detected in the sediment samples.
Coal tar sealants are also an important nonpoint source of PAHs. Used to seal parking lots,
playgrounds, and driveways, these sealants can contain 25-35 percent (by weight) coal tar or coal -tar
pitch, which has high concentrations of PAHs (USGS, 2017). The PAHs can be released into the
environment through volatilization into the air and as dust when the sealant breaks up over time,
and subsequently transported via stormwater runoff. Studies have shown that coal -tar sealants
contributed 2/3 of total PAHs in urban stormwater ponds sediments. These substances are
considered an important source of PAHs to urban waterways (LeCrane and others, 2010).

Section 7
Recommended Improvement
Strategies
Because the contaminants in Warren Creek are likely derived from dispersed urban or regional
sources rather than large, concentrated sources, it is not practical to identify discrete sites for
remediation. Moreover, this study concluded that the ambient level of contamination presents little
risks to human and ecological health. For these reasons, the recommended improvement strategy
consists of continuing to employ municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) stormwater quality
control measures while periodically monitoring contaminant levels in Warren Creek. The MS4 control
measures will serve to prevent and reduce pollution, whereas monitoring can verify contaminant
concentration attenuation over time —or at least do not increase. The disuse of coal tar -based
pavement sealants is a potential new measure to reduce PAHs. These components of the
recommended improvement strategies are discussed in subsections below.
7.1 MS4 Control Measures
The City of Durham is a Phase 1 MS4 community, and is authorized by the State of North Carolina to
discharge stormwater under NPDES permit NCS000249. Clean Water Act regulations require MS4
communities to implement six minimum control measures to reduce pollutant discharges: (1) public
education and outreach, (2) public participation/ involvement, (3) illicit discharge detection and
elimination, (4) construction site runoff control, (5) post -construction runoff control, and (6) pollution
prevention/ good housekeeping for municipal operations. In addition, North Carolina requires
Phase 1 MS4 communities to implement three additional measures: (7) a program to monitor and
control pollutants in stormwater discharges to municipal systems, (8) water quality assessment and
monitoring, and (9) total maximum daily load programs. In addition to the permit itself, the City's
approaches to control measures are described in the City's Stormwater Management Plan (City of
Durham, 2019) and annual reports (e.g., City of Durham, 2021).
The Warren Creek watershed is not known to have large, concentrated sources of PAHs or metals.
However, the MS4 controls measures have the potential to reduce these constituents both through
general pollution reductions and —in some cases —from PAH and metal sources categories as
identified in Section 6 of this report. If implemented consistently over time, these measures could
reduce pollutant concentrations in Warren Creek sediments. The subsections below describe the
City's existing control measures and discuss manners in which these actions could reduce PAH and
metals loads to surface waters.
7.1.1 Public Education and Outreach
The City's Stormwater Management Plan implements various types of public education and outreach
to reduce or prevent stormwater pollution, most of which are under the leadership of the City's Public
Education Coordinator. These include:
Promotion and maintenance of the Stormwater Services Website
(www.durhamnc.gov/stormwater) that provides information on water quality and pollution
prevention
7-1
Warren Creek Final Report Draft Feb 2022.docx
Contaminant Risk Assessment and Improvement Opportunities
Section 7
• Financial support and contribution of information material to the Clean Water Education
Partnership (www.NC-cleanwater.org)
• Distribution of public education materials (e.g., brochures, flyers, videos, utility bill inserts) to
target groups
• Organization or participation in community events and school programs
• Outreach through traditional media (newspaper articles, public service announcements) and
social media (e.g., Don't Waste Durham Facebook site)
The City's target pollutants for stormwater educations include bacteria, nitrogen, phosphorus, low
DO, turbidity, copper, and zinc. Although PAHs and metals such as chromium are not explicitly
included in this list, many of the public outreach messages for target pollutants would also be
expected to reduce PAHs and various metals. For example, many PAHs and metals are associated
with particulates, so public efforts to reduce turbidity and particulate runoff could reduce the loading
of these pollutants to Warren Creek. Education to encourage proper disposal of cooking grease,
automotive fluids, batteries, dumpsterjuice, and household hazardous waste can reduce a wide
variety of pollutants including PAHs and metals.
As noted in Section 6, coal tar -based pavement sealants have been implicated as a source of PAHs
in stormwater. The City could consider incorporating related information into outreach materials and
citing alternatives to coal -tar sealants on driveways and private parking lots. These alternatives
include use of paving materials that do not require sealants (e.g., pervious concrete/pavers,
permeable asphalt) and petroleum asphalt -based sealants, which contain far lower levels of PAHs
than coal tar -based sealants. Some Cities (e.g., Austin, TX and Washington, DC) have actually banned
the use of coal tar sealants.
Finally, the City's Stormwater Management Plan cites the general water quality benefits of "broad
efforts to improve air quality, reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, and reduce dependence of
petroleum". As noted in Section 6, vehicles and roads are major sources of both PAHs and metals to
urban stormwater. Hence, a reduction in vehicular use could potentially reduce loadings of these
pollutants to Warren Creek and other surface waters. This topic exceeds the scope of stormwater
management and encompasses other City efforts to encourage use of public transportation and
reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
7.1.2 Public Involvement
As with public education and outreach program, the public involvement opportunities could serve to
reduce a wide variety of pollutants. The pollution reporting hotline is an especially important
opportunity for the public to inform City of pollutant sources or discharges that could include PAHs
and metals. Operation of City's household hazardous wastewater collection facility is another
practical manner for the public to reduce pollution. This facility accepts many PAH- and metals
containing materials including batteries, cooking oil, oil -based paints, electronic waste, and
automotive fluids. Other City Programs to involve the public include:
• Offering of volunteer opportunities such as stream cleanup campaigns, adopt -a -drain, and
adopt -a -street
• Soliciting public comments on the annual stormwater reports and the stormwater management
plan
• Holding public notice, meetings, and opportunities for input on watershed plans, major
construction projects, retrofit plans, ordinance revisions, etc.
• Promoting and maintaining a stormwater pollution reporting hotline

Presentation to the City -County Environmental Affairs Board
7.1.3 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
Various illicit discharges could be sources of PAHs and metals to surface water, including wastewater
leaks, illegal discharges, and improper disposal of waste. The monitoring data from Warren Creek do
not suggest that a single illicit discharge is responsible for levels of PAHs and metals observed in the
creek sediments. However, just as in most commercial/residential areas with aging infrastructure
and on -site wastewater disposal systems, dry weather flows will sometimes be detected within the
watershed. The Eno River Watershed Management Plan (AECOM, 2018) states that "approximately
20% of sanitary sewer overflows reported by the City within the Eno River Watershed ...were located
in the Crooked Run Creek and Warren Creek subwatersheds." Similarly, about one third of the on -
site wastewater disposal systems (septic system and sand filters) within the Eno River Watershed
are located in these subwatersheds.
The City has a longstanding illicit discharge detection and elimination (IDDE) program that can
continue to be applied in the Warren Creek watershed. This program includes procedures and
schedules for screening outfalls, investigating concerns, training municipal employees, fixing leaks,
and reporting illicit discharges to the State if necessary.
7.1.4 Construction Site Run -Off
Because PAHs and most metals correlate strongly with particulates in stormwater runoff, efforts to
reduce erosion can also reduce loadings of these pollutants. The Durham County Stormwater and
Erosion Control Division has delegated authority over an erosion control program that would apply to
most private construction projects within the Warren Creek watershed. Permits are required for
activities that disturb 12,000 square feet or more, and an approved erosion control (ESC) plan is
required for activities that disturb more than 20,000 square feet. Similarly, the NC Department of
Transportation (NC DOT) is responsible for erosion control on state road construction projects. The
Land Quality Section of the NC Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources regulates land
disturbing activity for construction projects that have public funding, projects by agencies with the
power of eminent domain, and projects by state and federal agencies. The City's Stormwater
Management Plan cites all these programs as components of construction site runoff controls.
7.1.5 Post -Construction Runoff
The City's Stormwater Management Plan describes various management practices that the City
employs to control post -construction pollutant loading. The most important of these is an ordinance
(Chapter 70, Article X, Sections 70-736 through 70-744) that authorizes a post -construction
stormwater control program. This code section contains post -construction performance standards
applicable throughout the City. Within the Falls Lake Basin (including the Warren Creek watershed),
the thresholds for limits of application of the stormwater pollutant requirements are:
0.5 acres of land disturbance (limited residential)
12,000 square feet of land disturbance (multifamily and other)
The City program was developed primarily to control nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) and TSS
rather than PAHs and metals. For activities that exceed disturbance thresholds in the Falls Lake
basin, the City requires post -development controls that limit loading to 2.2 pounds per acre per year
(lb/ac/yr) total nitrogen and 0.33 Ib/ac/yr total phosphorus. The program regulates post -
construction control measurements by utilizing design standards of the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality Stormwater Best Management Practice (BMP) Manual and City's own addendum to
this manual. Common post -construction BMPs include wet ponds, dry ponds, bioretention cells, and
7-3
Warren Creek Final Report Draft Feb 2022.docx
Contaminant Risk Assessment and Improvement Opportunities
Section 7
constructed wetlands. Permeable pavers, green roofs, infiltration practices, and vegetated swales
are also employed to treat small areas.
The City of Durham also uses several non-structural BMPs to mitigate the effects of development,
including Natural Resource Protection that address tree protection and tree coverage, floodplain
protection, stream buffer protection, steep slope protection, and wetlands protection. The City's Park
and Recreation Department and Planning Department manages a program for maintaining and
increasing open space. This program concentrates on preserving environmentally sensitive and
natural resource areas within the City including wetlands and riparian buffers. Associated areas
within the Warren Creek watershed include Whippoorwill Park and the Warren Creek Trail. The City's
Critical Area Protection Plan (CAPP) identifies privately -owned parcels with high -quality riparian
buffers that might be conserved or protected. According to the Eno River Watershed Improvement
Plan (AECOM, 2018), eight of the 45 "keystone" properties are in the Warren Creek watershed.
The NCDOT is subject to a specific state regulation under the Falls Lake Rules (15A NCAC
02B .0281). In accordance with this regulation, NCDOT has developed a Stormwater Management
Program for new and existing development in the Falls Lake Watershed. This program relies on a
combination structural BMPs, non-structural BMPs, riparian buffer protection, and nutrient offset
payments to reduce nutrient loads to Falls Lake.
Because the post -construction controls in the Warren Creek watershed are oriented toward nutrients
and TSS rather than PAHs and metals, it merits the question of which nutrient and TSS-related BMPs
would also be effective for PAHs and metals:
PAHs: Relatively few studies have been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of common
structural stormwater BMPs at removing PAHs. However, the studies that are available suggest that
because PAHs are strongly associated with solids/sediments, BMPs that remove sediment are also
relatively effective at reducing PAHs. For example, Di Blasi and others (2008) found that bioretention
reduced PAHs levels in urban stormwater by 87 percent. Crabtree and others (2006) found that
two wet ponds reduced PAHs from high runoff by 57-99 percent, but that dry detention ponds were
less effective. Stormwater BMPs will be more effective at removing heavier, hydrophobic PAHs than
more soluble PAHs (Roinas and others, 2014). However, even soluble PAHs such as naphthalene
can be removed in stormwater BMPs by adsorption to particulate organic material, biodegradation,
and biological degradation (LeFevre and others, 2015).
As with structural stormwater BMPs, few studies have been conducted to evaluate the benefit of
disuse of coal tar -based pavement sealants at the watershed scale. However, Van Metre and Mahler
(2014) did demonstrate that PAH levels in lake sediments decreased significantly following the City
of Austin's (TX) ban on the use of coal tar -based pavement sealants.
Metals: Schueler and Youngk (2015) provide a useful review of the literature on the effectiveness of
structural stormwater BMPs on removing a wide variety of metals. Removal efficiencies varied widely
by metal and BMP type. However, the authors concluded that most metals were "highly treatable" in
urban runoff and that BMP removal rates tended to be slightly lower than those of total suspended
solids. As expected, removal rates tended to be higher for metals with lower solubility (e.g., iron,
lead) than for more soluble metals such as cadmium, copper, and zinc. However, even soluble
metals were reduced by adsorption to organic materials and subsequent sedimentation or filtration.
For example, bioretention and wet ponds were considered highly effective (50-75-percent removal)
or very highly effective (>75-percent removal) for a wide variety of metals including cadmium,
chromium, copper, lead, and zinc. Grass channels and dry ponds were less effective (<50-percent
removal) for most metals. Interestingly, although bioretention was the most effective practice for
many metals, it was not shown to be effective for nickel. The highest -rated practices for nickel were
wet ponds, permeable pavers, and grass channels.
7-4
Warren Creek Final Report Draft Feb 2022.docx
Contaminant Risk Assessment and Improvement Opportunities Section 7
It can be generally concluded that the City's post -construction control measures, although oriented
toward nutrients and sediment, would also provide significant benefits with regard to PAHs and
metals. These include various measures to minimize impervious surface, preserve natural areas, and
install structural BMPs. A reduction in coal tar -based pavement sealants represents a potential
opportunity, should PAH levels increase in Warren Creek or other City streams. Short of legal bans,
related measures could include the disuse of coal tar -based pavement sealants on City projects and
related discussion with NC DOT.
7.1.6 Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
The City's Stormwater Management Plan lists a large number of pollution prevention and good
housekeeping programs for municipal operations. Examples include the development of site
pollution prevention plans, spill response procedures, inspections and maintenance, and staff
training. The City maintains an inventory of 32 municipal operation facilities, none of which are
located in the Warren Creek watershed. Similarly, there are no fire stations, police stations, or public
schools within the Warren Creek watershed. However, some relevant programs that could reduce
pollution in this watershed include routine inspections and maintenance of:
City streets/roads, and parking lots. See previous recommendations on the disuse of coal tar -
based pavement sealants
• Whipporwill Park and the Warren Creek Trail
• Stormwater infrastructure, including periodic removal of accumulated sediment that could
contain a variety of pollutants
7.1.7 Program to Monitor and Control Pollutants
Section 7.8 of the City's Stormwater Management Plan describes measures that the City undertakes
to monitor and control pollutants entering the MS4. Most of these relate to the inspection and
control of pollution of permitted industrial sites, none of which are present in the Warren Creek
watershed. Therefore, this measure would be most relevant if a future industrial site was constructed
in the watershed.
7.1.8 Water Quality Assessment and Monitoring
The City's maintains an extensive water quality and biological monitoring network, and uses the
results to detect water quality problems and plan improvements. Monitoring results from station
EN10.3WC (Warren Creek at Horton Road) were the impetus behind this special pollutant source
tracking project. As described in Section 7.2 (Monitored Natural Attenuation), it is recommended to
continue monitoring at this station to verify that the pollutants of concern do not increase over time.
7.1.9 Total Maximum Daily Load Programs
The City's MS4 permit requires the development of plans to address the City's wasteload allocations
(WLAs) in USEPA-approved total maximum daily loads (TMDLs). Warren Creek is not currently listed
as impaired on North Carolina's 303(d) list, and no TMDL is currently planned for this water body.
7.2 Monitored Natural Attenuation
Monitored natural attenuation is a remediation technique that relies on natural processes (e.g.,
biodegradation, dilution, chemical reactions) to reduce contaminant levels over time (USEPA, 2021).
Monitoring is performed to verify that contaminant concentrations are reduced over time. Monitored
natural attenuation is usually employed when concentrated pollutant sources have been removed
and when the remaining level of contamination does not present unacceptable risks to human or
7-5

Section 7
ecological health. Monitoring natural attenuation can be a very slow process, and take years to
decades to reduce contaminant concentrations.
In the case of Warren Creek sediment, it is not known how much of the PAH and metals are derived
from historical sources versus active sources such as paved surfaces and vehicular traffic. Hence, it
cannot be concluded that contaminant sources have been removed, or that concentrations will
necessarily decrease. However, the steady implementation of MS4 control measures discussed in
section 7.1 might decrease contaminant concentrations over an extended time period. For example,
some of the development within the Warren Creek watershed pre -dated current post -construction
control measures, and so redevelopment of these areas could increase the proportion of runoff that
is treated by structural BMPs. As another example, the expected multi-decadal increase in the
proportion of electric vehicles would reduce vehicular -related combustion sources.
Because attenuation of PAHs and metals in Warren Creek will likely be a slow process, it is not
considered necessary to monitor every year. Monitoring of sediment quality at a five to ten year
frequency would be sufficient to detect major changes and verify that contaminant concentrations
are not increasing.
