1.0 Fish
Multivariate cluster analysis of species composition and abundance from annual
fish assemblages within all creeks by a similarity profile test (SIMPROF) revealed 12 distinct
groups of statistical significance between years (Figure II-C1). To simplify discussion of the
data set, colored lines on the cluster dendrograms represent non -significant structure among
factors (e.g., years, creeks) at the 1 percent level (P = 0.01). Comparison of interannual
variability between clusters by means of similarity percentages (SIMPER) revealed that
similarity ranged from 2 to 47 percent. Clusters A, B, C, D, and E consisted of all creeks/years
sampled by fyke net. Cluster A contained five of eight years for DCUT11 and DCUT19 2016.
Cluster B contained five DCUT 19 years (2015 and 2017-2020) and the three other DCUT11
years (2013-2014 and 2020). Cluster C contained 15 of the 17 years for Huddles Cut. Cluster
D contained DCUT19 2013 and 2014. Cluster E contained Huddles Cut 2014 and 2015. Cluster
F contained one post -Mod Alt L creek/year: Jacks Creek 2016, one control creek/year: SCUT1
2019, and two pre -Mod Alt L creek/years: Broomfield Swamp Creek 2019-2020. Cluster G was
tied for being the largest and contained creek/years (38) for most of the trawl creeks with a
mixture of 23 pre- and post -Mod Alt L creek/years and 15 control creek/years; each of the four
impact creeks in the cluster had both pre- and post -Mod Alt L years and all had a matched
control creek/year for at least one post -Mod Alt L year. Cluster H contained mostly Jacks and
Muddy creek/years with the one post -Mod Alt L year matched, Little Creek 2020, and
Drinkwater Creek 2013 (post -Mod Alt L year with no control/creek year match). Similar to G,
cluster I contained 38 creek/years and across nine different creeks with 19 control creek/years
and 19 pre- and post -Mod Alt L creek/years; four of the five impact creeks in the cluster had
both pre- and post -Mod Alt L years and all five had a matched control creek/year for at least one
post -Mod Alt L year. Cluster J contained the third most creek/years (19) with only one pre -Mod
Alt L year (Porter 2015), nine post -Mod Alt L creek/years, and nine control/creek years; all five
creeks in the cluster had a matched control creek/year for at least one post -Mod Alt L year.
Cluster K contained four 2011 creek/years: Little, Long, Duck, and Porter. Cluster L contained
eight PA2 creek/years, three creeks sampled in 1999: Muddy, Jacks, and Tooley, and Muddy
2011.

Corresponding years from impact creeks Jacks Creek and Tooley Creek
grouped together in the same cluster as Muddy Creek (control) for seven of 13 years and two of
the three creeks grouped together in the same cluster 12 of 13 years. Jacks Creek years
include 1999-2005 and 2011-2020, Tooley Creek years include 1999-2001 and 2010-2020 and
Muddy Creek years include 1999-2005 and 2010-2020. All three creeks clustered separately in
II-C-1
2016: Jacks Creek in F; Tooley in J; while Muddy was in I. Jacobs and Drinkwater creeks
grouped within the same clusters eight of 10 years; exceptions were 2013 and 2015 when
Jacobs Creek pre -Mod Alt L 2013 and post -Mod Alt L 2015 were in G and Drinkwater Creek
post -Mod Alt L 2013 and 2015 were in H (2013) and J (2015), due to differences in CPUE of
bay anchovy (Anchoa mitchilli), rainwater killifish (Lucania parva), and pinfish (Lagodon
rhomboides). Drinkwater Creek post -Mod Alt L 2013 was the only creek sampled in 2013 that
clustered within H due to higher catches of spot (Leiostomus xanthurus) and similar catches of
Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus), bay anchovy, and Atlantic menhaden (Brevoortia
tyrannus).
Comparison of interannual variability between clusters by means of similarity
percentages (SIMPER) was used to determine which species drive cluster formation. A
summary of the average catch per unit effort (CPUE) of dominant species across the 12 clusters
is shown in Table II-C1. Cluster A had the least similar fish assemblage makeup from all other
creeks and years and was the most dissimilar from F, G, J, I, K, and H, driven by differences in
CPUE of pumpkinseed (Lepomis gibbosus), spot, Atlantic croaker, bay anchovy, Atlantic
menhaden, mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus), striped mullet (Mugil cephalus) and to a lesser
extent, pinfish (Lagodon rhomboides) (Table II-C1). Although more species contributed to
dissimilarities in CPUE between clusters B, C, D and E and all other clusters, the main
difference was the abundance of mummichog captured in fyke nets from both DCUT19 and
Huddles Cut (Table II-C1). The four sample years in cluster F were characterized by low
diversity with catches predominantly consisting of bay anchovy, Atlantic croaker, and Atlantic
menhaden. Years in both clusters G and I (the two largest among the 12 clusters) grouped
together due to similarities in CPUE of the most common species collected by trawl (e.g., spot,
Atlantic croaker, Atlantic menhaden, bay anchovy, and pinfish) (Table II-C1). Cluster H
displayed the second highest CPUE of spot among all clusters. Cluster J consisted mostly
creek/years since 2015 with consistently lower CPUE for most. Cluster K grouped together due
to similarity in CPUE of bay anchovy, spot, and Atlantic menhaden and the fact that the three
species accounted for at least 82 percent of the total catch in all four creeks for 2011. Cluster L
creek/years grouped predominantly due to similarity in CPUE of spot, rainwater killifish (Lucania
parva), inland silverside (Menidia beryllina), and to a lesser extent, eastern mudminnow (Umbra
pygmaea) (Table I I-C1).
Comparison of interannual variability by means of ANOSIM detected no spatial
differences of significance between pre- and post -Mod Alt L fish assemblages within drainage
basins of Huddles Cut, Jacobs Creek, Porter Creek, and DCUT11; however, spatial differences
of significance were detected between pre- and post -Mod Alt L fish assemblages within Jacks
Creek, Drinkwater Creek and Tooley Creek [Global R = 0.255; P = 0.027, Global R = 0.496; P =
0.022, and Global R = 0.403; P = 0.010, respectively].
Low total CPUE for Jacks, Drinkwater, and Tooley creeks in both post -Mod Alt L
2016 and post -Mod Alt L 2017 likely drove post -Mod Alt years apart from pre -Mod Alt L years.
Either 2016 or 2017 represented the lowest total CPUE experienced in seven of 10 creeks
sampled by trawl; furthermore, both 2016 and 2017 represented two of the three lowest total
CPUE's experienced in eight of 10 trawl creeks and the first and third lowest CPUE's of any
trawl creek (Jacks 2016 and 2017). As stated in the Executive Summary, low CPUE observed
locally throughout South Creek and surrounding tributaries in both 2016-2017 caused most
creeks of those representative years to cluster within J. Jacks 2016 had the lowest total CPUE
across all creeks/years and post -Mod Alt L fish assemblages of Jacks Creek would be most
affected, as 2016-2017 comprise two of the six post -Mod Alt L years (CPUE tables can be found
in Section III-F).
II-C-2
Data do not specifically indicate that mine activities have altered fish
communities. When pre- and post -Mod Alt L years from four of the seven impact creeks are
compared, there is no statistical indication of any detectable spatial difference. It is also not
valid to assume reduction of the drainage basin of any of the other three creeks has altered fish
assemblage since most post -Mod Alt L years for all are grouped among other pre -Mod Alt L
creeks/years and control creeks/years (see Section III for further analysis).
2.0 Fish Guilds
Refer to Appendix A -Section H for detailed description of the process of fish
species guild assignment. Each species caught in trawl or fyke nets was assigned to one of five
trophic guilds: zoobenthivore, zooplanktivore, piscivore, herbivore, or omnivore (Table II-C2).
Guilds were assigned without considering larval feeding habits. With agency guidance in 2017,
10 species were reassigned to different trophic guilds which resulted in complete removal of the
detritivore guild and new guild assignments were made for Atlantic menhaden (a substantial
contributor to abundance), largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), summer flounder
(Paralichthys dentatus), and silver perch (Bairdiella chrysoura) (the latter three were smaller
contributors to abundance) (Table II-C2). The 2017 Atlantic menhaden change from detritivore
to zooplanktivore and other alterations of trophic guilds decreased piscivore abundance and
increased both zoobenthivores and omnivores. Atlantic menhaden accounted for nearly 2
percent of the total catch in 2020. To date, 63 species have been identified to species; 38 are
designated as zoobenthivore, 12 as zooplanktivore, 10 as omnivore, two as piscivore, and one
as herbivore.
To examine relationships of trophic guilds among all creeks and all years,
multivariate cluster analysis was conducted. A SIMPROF analysis revealed 16 different clusters
only one of which contained only fyke creek/years (Figure II-C2). Overall, as has been the case
for the past few years, the guild clusters were more similar to each other than the abundance
clusters shown in Figure II-C1. All but one cluster contained at least one year from a control
creek, a pre -Mod Alt L creek, and a post -Mod Alt L creek; only cluster L lacked any pre -Mod Alt
L creek years containing just post -Mod Alt L Huddles Cut 2016 and Little Creek 2013. Ten of the
16 clusters contained at least one impact creek with both pre- and post -Mod Alt L creek years
for itself. Eight clusters of the 16 had at least one creek with only post -Mod Alt L years for that
creek; of those eight, six had at least one post -Mod Alt L creek/year with no matched control
creek/year. Most of the differences between clusters were driven by variation in the relative
abundance of zoobenthivores, zooplanktivores, and omnivores. Figure II-C3 shows the relative
abundance of the five fish guilds for each creek for each year. Two species: striped bass
(Morone saxatilis), and longnose gar (Lepisosteus osseus), one hybrid striped bass (Morone
chrysops x Morone saxatilis), and unidentified drum/croaker (Sciaenidae sp.) are piscivores,
and only grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) is an herbivore; none of these five fish are
commonly a dominant species. Of these two less abundant guilds, only DCUT11 contained
enough piscivore captures to show in the bar chart (Figure II-C3) and herbivore is too
uncommon to show.

A Biota and/or Environmental Matching (a.k.a. BEST routine) was conducted to
determine if a set of environmental variables influenced temporal variability in fish trophic guild
structure. If the BEST routine produced a strong correlation (Spearman rank correlation > 0.60)
with one or more environmental variables displayed, a multivariate analysis of variance
(MANOVA) was used to determine the significance of the variables (p < 0.05). If no strong
correlation was noted the environmental variables were not mentioned for a particular creek.
a. Pre -Mod Alt L Creek
i. Broomfield Swamp Creek
Trawls conducted in 2020 represented the second pre -Mod Alt L
collections for Broomfield Swamp Creek. In the first sample year (2019) the majority of the catch
was zooplanktivores with the remainder zoobenthivores while 2020 catch saw a split between
zoobenthivores and zooplanktivores with one omnivore: bowfin (Amia Calva) and one piscivore:
longnose gar. As more data are collected additional analysis will be completed on Broomfield
Swamp Creek.
b. Post -Mod Alt L Creeks
i. Jacks Creek
Fish samples in Jacks Creek were collected from 1999-2005 and
from 2011-2020; six post -Mod Alt L years were 2015-2020. Five clusters were detected among
the 17 years and the five guilds by SIMPROF (Figure II-C4). Cluster A contained two pre -Mod
Alt L years (2004 and 2011) and one post -Mod Alt L year (2018). Clusters B and C each
contained one pre -Mod Alt L year (2002 and 2012, respectively) and D contained two pre- (2000
and 2014) and two post -Mod Alt L years (2015 and 2017). Cluster E contained five pre -Mod Alt
L years (1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, and 2013) and three post -Mod Alt L years (2016 and 2019-
2020). Clusters D and F are most similar to each other and different from clusters A, B, and C
which are most similar to each other. Jacks Creek trophic guild composition in the post -Mod Alt
L years did not significantly differ from pre -Mod Alt L years (ANOSIM: R = -0.078, P = 0.711).
I I-C-4
Jacks Creek was mostly composed of zoobenthivore guild, as was
every other creek and most every year in the study (Figure II-C3). The composition of trophic
guilds in Jacks Creek has been consistent since 1999, with some increase in relative
abundance of omnivore guild in 2002, 2011, 2012, and 2018; this increase also occurred in two
of the control creeks, Muddy (2002, 2012, and 2018) and PA2 (2011, 2012, and 2018). In 2019
and 2020, zooplanktivores caught in Jacks Creek decreased from 2018 back to the average
catch.
Temporal variability among fish guilds within Jacks Creek displayed strong positive correlation
(0.637) among guild composition and three environmental variables: percent submerged aquatic
vegetation (SAV) visible at the surface (MANOVA: F = 5.33, P = 0.027), total dissolved
phosphorus (TDP) (MANOVA: F= 15.21, P = 0.001), and orthophosphate (PO4) (MANOVA: F =
6.40, P = 0.016).
ii. Jacobs Creek
Fish samples in Jacobs Creek were collected from 2011-2020,
with 2014-2020 considered post -Mod Alt L years. There were five significant clusters detected
among the guilds by SIMPROF (Figure II-05). Cluster A contained two pre -Mod Alt L years
(2011 and 2012), cluster B contained only post -Mod Alt L 2020, cluster C contained a pre- and
post -Mod Alt L year (2013 and 2015), and clusters, D, and E contained solely post -Mod Alt L
years (D: 2014 and 2019 and E: 2018, 2016 and 2017). Trophic guild composition in post -Mod
Alt L years did not significantly differ from pre -Mod Alt L years (ANOSIM: R = 0.321, P = 0.075).
The zoobenthivore guild dominated most years in Jacobs Creek,
relative abundance of the omnivore guild was higher in most pre -Mod Alt L years and higher for
zooplanktivore in most post -Mod Alt L years, although zooplanktivore numbers have been
decreasing since 2016. Omnivore numbers increased in 2018 for the first time since 2014;
however, omnivore presence decreased in 2019 and 2020 (Figure II-C3).
Drinkwater Creek
Fish samples in Drinkwater Creek were collected from 2011-2020,
with 2013-2020 considered post -Mod Alt L years. Three significant clusters were detected by
SIMPROF (Figure II-C6). Cluster A contained a pre and post -Mod Alt L year (2011 and 2014),
cluster B contained a pre and post -Mod Alt L year (2012 and 2018), and cluster C contained the
remainder (2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, and 2020). Trophic guild composition in post -Mod Alt
L years was significantly different from pre -Mod Alt L years (ANOSIM: R = 0.642, P = 0.0574).
The omnivore guild was present in both pre -Mod Alt L years as it
was in PA2 and the highest omnivore abundance also occurred in 2012 in both creeks (Figure
II-C3). Omnivore was present in mostly low numbers in Drinkwater Creek in every post -Mod Alt
L except 2019; additionally, although also low, they were present in all PA2 years.
Temporal variability among fish guilds within Drinkwater Creek
displayed strong positive correlation (0.603) among guild composition and two environmental
variables: SAV (MANOVA: F = 33.51, P = 0.001) and dissolved oxygen (MANOVA: F = 9.33, P
= 0.017).
iv. Tooley Creek
Fish samples in Tooley Creek were collected from 1999-2001 and
from 2010-2020, with 2012-2020 considered post -Mod Alt L years among the 14 years of study
data. As has been the case since fish guilds were first discussed in the 2016 report, no clusters
II-C-5
were detected by SIMPROF. Trophic guild composition in post -Mod Alt L years did not
significantly differ from pre -Mod Alt L years (ANOSIM: R = 0.233, P = 0.063).
Relative abundance of zooplanktivore guild increased in most of
the post -Mod Alt L years until 2018-2020 (as was true for the same years in one control creek -
Duck) (Figure II-C3).
v. Huddles Cut
Fish samples in Huddles Cut were collected from 1999-2001 and
2007-2020, with 2010-2020 considered post -Mod Alt L years. Four clusters among the 17 years
were detected by SIMPROF (Figure II-C7). Cluster A contained one post -Mod Alt L year (2014),
B contained a pre- and two post -Mod Alt L years (2008 and 2011 and 2015), C contained two
pre -Mod Alt L years (1999 and 2007) and two post -Mod Alt L years (2012 and 2020), and D
contained three pre -Mod Alt L years (2000, 2001 and 2009) and six post -Mod Alt L years (2010,
2013, and 2016-2019). Cluster A was different from clusters B, C, and D which were quite
similar to each other. Trophic guild composition in post -Mod Alt L years did not significantly
differ from pre -Mod Alt L years (ANOSIM: R=-0.057, P = 0.638).
Huddles Cut was mostly composed of zoobenthivore guild,
although zooplanktivore contributed more to community structure in 2014 than in other years
(Figure II-C3). Contrary to most other creeks, relative abundance of omnivore remained rather
steady across almost all years.
vi. Porter Creek
Fish samples in Porter Creek were collected from 2011-2020, with
2016-2020 considered the post -Mod Alt L years. No clusters among the 10 years were detected
by SIMPROF. Trophic guild composition in the post -Mod Alt L years did not significantly differ
from pre -Mod Alt L years (ANOSIM: R = -0.057, P = 0.573).
Porter Creek was mostly composed of zoobenthivore and zooplanktivore guilds (Figure II-C3).
Relative abundance of zooplanktivore in 2012 decreased from a high in 2011, then increased
again until 2017. Relative abundance of omnivore hit its peak in 2012 but was consistently lower
in abundance or not present in most years.
vii. DCUT11
Fish samples in DCUT11 were collected from 2013-2020. Five
years are considered pre -Mod Alt L (2013-2017) and three years are post -Mod Alt L (2018-
2020). Two clusters were detected by SIMPROF which were 85 percent similar; Cluster A
contained 2013, 2015, 2016, and 2018-2020) and cluster B contained only pre -Mod Alt L years
2014 and 2017 (Figure II-C8). DCUT11 was mostly composed of zoobenthivore guild while all
other trophic guilds provided small contributions to community structure (Figure II-C3). In most
years, DCUT11 zooplanktivore relative abundance was consistently among the lowest for all
creeks and was similar to DCUT19 (control) in many of the years. Trophic guild composition in
the post -Mod Alt L years did not significantly differ from pre -Mod Alt L years (ANOSIM: R = -
0.221, P = 0.961).
c. Mod Alt L Control Creeks
i. SCUT1
2020 represented the second collection year for SCUT1. Fish
II-C-6
guilds in SCUT1 were only composed of zoobenthivore and zooplanktivore guilds, the majority
being zooplanktivores in 2019, while 2020 was the opposite, having a majority of
zoobenthivores. As more years accumulate in the study more statistical analyses will be
performed.
ii. Little Creek
Fish samples in Little Creek were collected from 2011-2020. Two
significant clusters were detected among the 10 years by SIMPROF (Figure II-C9). Cluster A
contained 2011, the sample year with by far the most zooplanktivores and cluster B contained
all other creek years.
Since 2012, Little Creek was mostly composed of zoobenthivore
guild with a slightly increased contribution from zooplanktivores in some years (Figure II-C3).
Zooplanktivore abundance decreased from 2016-2018, while omnivore guild contributed the
most to community structure in 2012 and were also present every year except 2015, 2017, and
2019 although abundances were too small to show on the bar graph.
Temporal variability among fish guilds within Little Creek
displayed strong positive correlation (0.763) among guild composition and two environmental
variables: SAV (MANOVA: F = 17.23, P = 0.005) and dissolved oxygen (MANOVA: F = 28.00, P
= 0.0015).
PA2
Fish samples in PA2 were collected from 2011-2020. No clusters
among the 10 years were detected by SIMPROF.
PA2 was mostly composed of the zoobenthivore guild in all years;
however, omnivore and zooplanktivore consistently contributed toward community structure
(Figure II-C3).
Temporal variability among fish guilds within PA2 displayed strong
positive correlation (0.749) among guild composition and two environmental variables: TDN
(MANOVA: F = 7.78, P = 0.025) and nitrate (NO3) (MANOVA: F = 9.69, P = 0.016).
iv. Long Creek
Fish samples in Long Creek were collected from 2011-2020. Two
significant clusters were detected among the 10 years by SIMPROF (Figure II-C10). Cluster A
contained three years (2011, 2013, and 2018) with the three highest abundances of
zooplanktivores, and cluster B contained the remainder (2012, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019,
and 2020) characterized by mostly zoobenthivores. Cluster A was 75 percent similar to cluster
B.
Long Creek was mostly composed of zoobenthivore guild with
zooplanktivore also present in most years (Figure II-C3). The composition of trophic guilds in
Long Creek varied slightly in most years and 2019 was most similar to 2016. The omnivore guild
did not contribute to community structure in 2014, 2016, or 2017, but reappeared in 2018, 2019,
and 2020 as a minor contributor.
v. Muddy Creek
Fish samples in Muddy Creek were collected from 1999-2005 and
from 2007-2020. Among the 21 years, there were seven clusters detected by SIMPROF (Figure
II-C-7
II-C11). Cluster A contained one year (2002), B contained two years (2013 and 2018), C
contained six years (1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2019 and 2020), D contained one year
(2011), E contained two years (2015 and 2017), F contained five years (2000, 2004, 2009,
2014, and 2016), and G contained three years (2008, 2010, and 2012). Cluster A was most
different from all other clusters while clusters B through G were quite similar to each other.
Muddy Creek was mostly composed of the zoobenthivore guild
with consistent smaller contributions to community structure by zooplanktivore especially for the
2011 to 2018 period (Figure II-C3). Omnivore guild contributed more to community structure in
2002, 2008, and 2012 than in other years.
vi. DCUT19
Fish samples in DCUT19 were collected from 2013-2020. No
clusters among the eight years were detected by SIMPROF.
DCUT19 was mostly composed of zoobenthivore guild with
consistent smaller contributions by the omnivore guild. An increase in zooplanktivore was
evident from 2016-2017, but this guild decreased in 2018 to the lowest since 2015. The highest
abundance of omnivores of all years in DCUT19 was 2020 (Figure II-C3).
Temporal variability among fish guilds within DCUT19 displayed
strong positive correlation (0.846) among guild composition and two environmental variables:
pH (MANOVA: F = 23.52, P = 0.013) and salinity (MANOVA: F = 11.48, P = 0.037).
vii. Duck Creek
Fish samples in Duck Creek were collected from 2011-2020. Two
significant clusters were detected among the 10 years by SIMPROF (Figure II-C12). Cluster A
comprised two years (2011 and 2017) and B contained the other eight years (2012-2016 and
2018-2020). Cluster A was 58 percent similar to cluster B.
Duck Creek was mostly composed of the zoobenthivore guild in all
years except 2011. In 2017 Duck guild was split between zooplanktivores and zoobenthivores
(Figure II-C3).
Temporal variability among fish guilds within Duck Creek
displayed strong positive correlation (0.854) among guild composition and two environmental
variables: pH (MANOVA: F = 9.38, P = 0.014) and nitrate (NO3) (MANOVA: F = 6.24, P =
0.034).
3.0 Grass Shrimp
Grass shrimp were not enumerated as part of the creeks study until the new
monitoring plan was implemented in 2011. More detailed qualitative information is now
collected in conjunction with fish collections (trawling at all creeks except Huddles Cut,
DCUT11, and DCUT19 where fyke nets are used). The limited data prevent detailed evaluation;
however, grass shrimp were most frequently captured (100 percent) from both Little Creek in
2013 and PA2 in 2016-2017 and least frequently captured (none captured) from Porter Creek in
2014 (pre -Mod Alt L), Tooley and Long creeks in 2017, Drinkwater and Duck creeks in 2019,
and both DCUT11 upstream and downstream fyke nets in 2015-2019. The highest score
(based on numbers/individuals captured) was at PA2 in 2017 (74) and lowest (0) at Porter
Creek in 2014, Tooley and Long creeks in 2017, Drinkwater and Duck creeks in 2019, both
II-C-8
DCUT11 upstream and downstream fyke nets in 2015-2017 and 2019, and DCUT11
downstream net in 2018. As may be expected with dense coverage of SAV, PA2 also had the
second and third highest scores (66 and 58) for grass shrimp across all creeks/years and tied
with Drinkwater Creek for fourth highest (56) (Table II-C3).
As shown in Table II-C3, for the years when grass shrimp were present, the three
lowest frequencies and scores for grass shrimp occurred in both 2016 and 2017 and in 2019 for
one of five trawl creeks with drainage basin reduction (Jacks Creek) and those years were also
among the lowest of three of the five trawl control creeks (Little, Muddy, and Duck creeks) out of
the 10 trawl creeks total. The years 2016 and 2017 were also the two lowest for Jacobs Creek
frequency and score for grass shrimp. Other than 2019, a year when frequencies and scores
were among the lowest for most creeks, the lowest frequency and score for Drinkwater Creek
and Tooley Creek was 2017. The lowest frequency and score for Huddles Cut occurred in the
upstream fyke net in 2013 and in the downstream fyke net in 2014 (both post -Mod Alt L years).
Conversely, highest frequencies and scores occurred in 2011 for Tooley Creek (pre -Mod Alt L),
in 2020 for Jacobs Creek (post -Mod Alt L), in 2012 for Porter Creek (pre -Mod Alt L), in 2020 for
Jacks Creek (post -Mod Alt L-) and in 2020 for Drinkwater (post -Mod Alt L). For Huddles Cut,
the highest frequency occurred in both upstream and downstream fyke nets in 2018 and highest
overall score was in the upstream fyke net in 2012 (no pre -Mod Alt L grass shrimp data are
available for Huddles Cut). With the exception of DCUT11, frequencies and scores of grass
shrimp from 10 years of qualitative data display similar variability across all Mod Alt L sample
creeks with lowest catches for most creeks occurring in 2016, 2017, and 2019.
4.0 Penaeid Shrimp and Blue Crab
These two groups also make up a component of the forage base in the creeks
and are discussed in more detail in the answer to Section II-D Question 4 about managed
species. Catch frequency of penaeid shrimp observed across most all creeks and gear type
varied between years; however, other than the DCUT19 upstream fyke net in both 2013 and
2018 and both nets in 2020, no penaeid shrimp have been captured from the two Durham
tributaries. Excluding DCUT11 where no blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) were collected except
in 2017 in the downstream fyke net and 2019 in the upstream net, catch frequency/score of
blue crab was steadier across the 10 years in all creeks/gear type.
5.0 Macroinvertebrates
Benthos sweep data and ponar data for all years were separated into upstream
and downstream datasets for multivariate cluster analysis; significance of clusters was
evaluated at a lower alpha value (0.001) in order to minimize clusters with just one creek -year.
Two different characteristics: trophic level and functional feeding guild were used in the analysis
of each species collected in the ponar grabs. Trophic level describes the position of a species
in a food chain and consisted of four levels: detritivore, herbivore, carnivore, and parasite.
Functional feeding guild describes the mechanism used by a species to acquire food resources
and/or nutrients and consisted of six categories: gatherer/collector, filterer/collector, scraper,
grazer, shredder, and predator. Analysis included upstream and downstream datasets. Please
refer to Section III-G and Appendix A -Section H for detailed description of the process of guild
assignment and more description of statistical analyses performed.
Pre- and post -Mod Alt L averages were calculated for both sweeps and ponar
grab abundance and taxa richness data for all creeks in all years (Table II-05, Table II-C6). The
calculated averages for upstream sweeps show that two out of seven impact creeks had greater
macroinvertebrate abundance in post compared to pre -Mod Alt L, while downstream showed
II-C-9
four out of seven impact creeks having greater abundance in post -Mod Alt L (Table II-05). The
calculated averages for upstream ponars show that only one impact creek out of seven had
greater macroinvertebrate abundance in post -Mod Alt L (Huddles) than pre -Mod -Alt L, while
downstream had four impact creeks had greater abundance in post -Mod Alt L (Table II-C6). For
taxa richness, upstream sweeps showed that six out of the seven impact creeks had greater
taxa counts in post compared to pre -Mod Alt L, while downstream sweeps showed one impact
creek (Jacobs Creek) having greater taxa richness in post -Mod Alt L (Table II-05). For ponars,
calculated averages for taxa richness showed that four impact creeks out of seven for upstream
were greater in species richness in post compared to per -Mod Alt L, while downstream showed
three impact creeks having higher taxa richness in post -Mod Alt L.
Upstream sweeps: Multivariate cluster analysis using a similarity profile test
(SIMPROF) of upstream benthic sweep taxa richness and abundance in all creeks and for all
years revealed 31 distinct clusters (Figure II-C13). Cluster A contained only 2019 (one control
creek and one pre -Mod Alt L creek). Clusters U and AA contained all control creeks (DCUT19,
Duck, and Little). Clusters B, E, and K contained only one control creek (Long 2020, Little 2012,
and Muddy 2011, respectively). Nine clusters contained only control and pre- Mod Alt L creek
years (A, J, L, N, 0, P, S, AB, and AC). Five clusters contained only control creeks and post -
Mod Alt L years (F, G, Q, W, and X). Five clusters contained a mixture of control, pre and/or
post -Mod Alt L creek years (H, I, T, Y, and Z). Cluster V consisted one post -Mod Alt L creek -
year (Drinkwater 2017) and there were four clusters that consisted of only Huddles Cut years
(C, D, R, and AD).
Post -Mod Alt L creek -years in Jacks and Tooley creeks each clustered with a
matched control creek year or other self pre -Mod Alt L year. Jacobs, Drinkwater, DCUT11, and
Porter creeks post -Mod Alt L years also either clustered with a matched control creek year or a
matched pre -Mod Alt L year from another creek (except for Drinkwater 2017). Since most
Huddles Cut years have consistently clustered apart, there may be some unique aspect(s) of
Huddles Cut, regardless of mine activities.
Comparison of interannual variability between the 31 clusters by means of
similarity percentages (SIMPER) revealed that variation in abundances of 17 taxa
predominantly drove cluster formation and caused most of the dissimilarity between clusters.
Those 17 taxa were as follows (in order of the number of clusters wherein each taxa was a
major contributor of dissimilarity): Littoridinops spp., Cyathura polita, Goeldichironomus
devineyae, Tanytarsus spp., Chironomus spp., Apocorophium spp., Gammarus tigrinus,
Cyprideis littoralis, Paleomonetes pugio, Nematoda sp., Amphicteis floridus, Naididae (w/o hair),
Corixidae sp., Dicrotendipes nervosus, Cassidinidea lunifrons, Apedilum sp., and Enallagma.
Downstream sweeps: The downstream benthic sweep data analysis resulted in
21 distinct clusters (Figure II-C14). Cluster D contained only control creeks (three Muddy Creek
years). Nine clusters contained control creek and pre -Mod Alt L creek years (B, C, E, H, I, K, L,
N, and T). Clusters K and R contained control creek years and post -Mod Alt L creek years.
Eight clusters contained control, pre-, and post -Mod Alt L creek years (A, F, G, M, P, Q, S, and
U). Cluster 0 consisted of one post -Mod Alt L creek year (Huddles 2017). Cluster A consisted
of a pre -Mod Alt L impact creek and its nearby control creek for the year 2019 (Broomfield and
SCUT1). Cluster B consisted of only 1998 years (Jacks, Tooley, and Muddy), while cluster H
consisted of only 1999 years (Jacks, Tooley, and Muddy). Cluster S contained eight of the 15
creek years for 2018 and two from 2017. Cluster V contained the majority of the Huddles Cut
years, one control creek (Long 2020), and one other post -Mod Alt L creek (Tooley 2020).
II-C-10
Similar to the upstream results, the clustered Huddles Cut years suggest some characteristic
unique to Huddles Cut that differentiates it from other creeks in the study.
Similar to upstream sweeps, post -Mod Alt L creek -years in Jacks and Tooley
creeks each clustered with a matched control creek year or other self pre -Mod Alt L year.
Jacobs, Drinkwater, DCUT11, and Porter creeks post -Mod Alt L years also either clustered with
a matched control creek year or a matched pre -Mod Alt L year from another creek. Since most
Huddles Cut years have consistently clustered apart, there may be some unique aspect(s) of
Huddles Cut, regardless of mine activities.
Comparison of interannual variability between the 21 clusters by means of
similarity percentages (SIMPER) revealed that variation in abundances of 18 taxa
predominantly drove cluster formation and caused most of the dissimilarity between clusters. In
order of the number of clusters where each was a major contributor of dissimilarity, the 18 taxa
were: Hargeria rapax, Kiefferulus sp., Physidae sp., Americamysis almyra, Goeldichironomus
devineyae, Tanytarsus spp., Chironomus spp., Apocorophium spp., Gammarus tigrinus,
Cyprideis littoralis, Paleomonetes pugio, Nematoda sp., Amphicteis floridus, Corixidae sp.,
Dicrotendipes nervosus, Cassidinidea lunifrons, Apedilum sp., and Enallagma.
Upstream ponars: Multivariate cluster analysis using a similarity profile test
(SIMPROF) of upstream benthic ponar taxa richness and abundance in all creeks and for all
years also revealed 15 distinct clusters (Figure II-C15). No cluster consisted solely of pre- or
post -Mod Alt L years although clusters E and N consisted of only pre- and post -Mod Alt L years
for Huddles Cut. Clusters A and D contained only control creek years (Muddy Creek). Cluster E
contained both four pre- and eight post -Mod Alt L years for Huddles Cut with one other pre -Mod
Alt L creek (Tooley 2010). With the exception of Tooley 2020, cluster F contained only 2016
creek years (four post -Mod Alt L creeks and three control creeks). Only five clusters (G, H, K, L,
and 0) contained pre- and post -Mod Alt L and control creek years. All post -Mod Alt L creek
years in any cluster either matched a control creek year, a pre -Mod Alt L year for itself, or a
matched pre -Mod Alt L creek year for a different creek within the cluster. No cluster consisted
solely of post -Mod Alt L creek years.
Comparison of interannual variability between the 15 clusters by means of
similarity percentages (SIMPER) revealed that variation in abundances of 20 taxa
predominantly drove cluster formation and caused most of the dissimilarity between clusters. In
order of the number of clusters that each of the 20 taxa were a major contributor of dissimilarity,
the 20 taxa were: Nais sp., Procladius sp., Myzobdella lugubris, Cyathura polita, Chironomus
spp., Gammarus tigrinus, Littoridinops spp., Tanytarsus spp., Amphicteis floridus,
Apocorophium spp., Cyprideis littoralis, Candonidae sp., Macoma balthica, Naididae (w/o hair),
Streblospio benedicti, Bezzia/Palpomyia complex, Nematoda sp., Tanypus neopunctipennis,
Dicrotendipes nervosus, and Goeldichironomus devineyae.
Downstream ponars: The downstream benthic ponar data grouped into 27
distinct clusters (Figure II-C16). Two clusters contained only pre- and post -Mod Alt L creek
years (A and F); A consisted mainly of Huddles Cut years and F consisted of Jacks Creek.
Cluster C contained only one control creek year (Muddy 1998) and cluster Z contained only a
control creek (DCUT 19). Seven clusters contained only pre -Mod Alt L and control creek years
(B, D, E, I, L, U, and X). Nine clusters contained a mixture of pre- and post -Mod Alt L and
control creek years (H, K, M, N, Q, R, W, Y, and AA). Cluster Q contained the largest number
of creek years with three pre- creek years, eight post -Mod Alt L creek years, and eight control
creek years.
II-C-11
Comparison of interannual variability between the 27 clusters by means of
similarity percentages (SIMPER) revealed that variation in abundances of 21 taxa
predominantly drove cluster formation and caused most of the dissimilarity between clusters. In
order of the number of clusters each taxa was a major contributor of dissimilarity, the 21 taxa
were: Procladius sp., Mediomastus sp., Eteone heteropoda, Rangia cuneata, Laeonereis
culveri, Chironomus spp., Gammarus tigrinus, Littoridinops spp., Tanytarsus spp., Amphicteis
floridus, Apocorophium spp., Cyprideis littoralis, Candonidae sp., Macoma balthica, Naididae
(w/o hair), Streblospio benedicti, Bezzia/Palpomyia complex, Nematoda sp., Tanypus
neopunctipennis, Dicrotendipes nervosus, and Goeldichironomus devineyae.
6.0 Macroinvertebrate Guilds
Refer to Appendix A -Section H for detailed description of the process of ponar
species guild assignment and more description of statistical analyses performed. Each ponar
taxa was assigned to a guild (Table II-C4). Guild membership was based on both the trophic
level and functional feeding guild for each taxon. Six different classifications (i.e.,
axes/components) were produced by Fuzzy Correspondence Analysis (FCA) which separated
taxa by guilds (Figure II-C17 a-f). The FCA produces slightly varied differentiations in distance
and direction from zero on each component axis for the 10 categories (four trophic levels and
six feeding guilds) from year to year. With the addition of 2020 ponar data, herbivore and
detritivore separated from carnivore and parasite along Axis 1, as well as predator from other
functional feeding guilds (Figure II-C17a and C17b). Filterer/collector separated from grazer,
scraper, and shredder along Axis 2 (Figure II-C17b), while shredder and filterer/collector
separated from all other functional guilds along Axis 3 (Figure II-C17d). Parasite separated
from carnivore, herbivore, and detritivore trophic levels along Axis 4, as well as grazer and
scraper from all other functional feeding guilds (Figure II-C17c and C17d). Parasite separated
from other trophic levels along Axis 5 (Figure II-C17e). Grazer and scraper separated from
other functional feeding guilds along Axis 6 (Figure II-C17f). Upstream and downstream
datasets were analyzed separately for the multivariate analysis on guild membership. As was
done for the all creeks ponar and sweep dendrograms, a lower statistical significance threshold
(alpha = 0.001) was used to minimize clusters with single creek -years for the two ponar guild
dendrograms; individual creek dendrograms used an alpha of 0.01.
Mixed -model ANOVAs determined if changes to macroinvertebrate guild
composition post -Mod Alt L were similar to any changes in guild composition of control creeks
during the same years. Two main effects were included in the ANOVAs: Creek (which tested if
the impact creek differed from the control creek regardless of Mod Alt L Status) and Mod Alt L
Status (which tested if guild composition differed between pre- and post -Mod Alt L Status
regardless of Creek). A Creek by Mod Alt L Status interaction tested if the two creeks differed in
how their guild composition changed between pre- and post -Mod Alt L Status.
Upstream guilds: Multivariate cluster analysis used a similarity profile test
(SIMPROF) of the upstream guild membership ponar dataset in all creeks and years and
revealed 21 significant clusters (Figure II-C18). Three clusters contained only post -Mod Alt L
creek years (A, 0, and Q), while none of the clusters contained only a pre -Mod Alt L creek year.
No clusters contained only pre- and post -Mod Alt L creek years. One cluster (B, Muddy 2004)
contained only a control creek. Ten clusters (C, D, I, K, L, N, P, R, S, and T) contained a mixture
of pre- and post -Mod Alt L and control creek years.
Comparison of interannual variability by means of similarity percentages
(SIMPER) determined the guild types that predominantly drove separation of the 21 clusters.
II-C-12
Axis 4 (scraper and grazer) was the predominant contributor to the differentiation of most
clusters. Axis 1 (herbivore and detritivore) was a predominant contributor to some clusters. Axis
2 (filter/collector) and Axis 6 (scraper) contributed the least differentiation to the clusters.
A mixed -model analysis of variance (ANOVA) determined if changes in upstream
benthic macroinvertebrate guild composition due to Mod Alt L Status differed between pre- and
post -Mod Alt L creeks and various control creeks for the same years. For all impact creeks and
guild axes there were three statistically significant interactions. Jacks and Muddy had a
significant interaction between the Creek and Mod Alt L Status for Axis 1 (F = 4.97, P = 0.03)
(Figure II-C17) where there was a slight decrease in herbivore and detritivore in Jacks
compared to Muddy Creek. Porter Creek had significantly lower amounts of grazer, scraper, and
shredder on Axis 2 compared to Duck (F = 6.46, P = 0.02), but slightly higher amounts when
compared to Little Creek (Axis 2: F = 7.96, P = 0.01) (Figure II-C20).
Downstream guilds: Multivariate cluster analysis using a similarity profile test
(SIMPROF) of the downstream guild membership ponar dataset in all creeks and years
revealed 19 significant clusters (Figure II-C21). Only one cluster contained only post -Mod Alt L
(N; Huddles Cut 2012) and only one cluster contained only a control creek (A; PA2 2020), but
there were no clusters that contained only pre -Mod Alt L data. Cluster D and J contained only
pre -Mod Alt L and control years. Clusters E and F contained only post -Mod Alt L and control
creek years. The other eleven clusters contained a mixture of pre- and post -Mod Alt L with
control creek years (C, G, H, J, K, L, M, 0, P, Q, and S).
Comparison of interannual variability by means of similarity percentages
(SIMPER) determined the guild types that predominantly drove separation of the 19 clusters.
Axis 1 (herbivore and detritivore) contributed to the differentiation of most clusters. Axis 2
(filterer/collector), and Axis 4 (scraper and grazer) contributed to the differentiation of some
clusters. Axis 6 (scraper) contributed least to the differentiation of clusters.
A mixed -model ANOVA determined if changes in benthic macroinvertebrate guild
composition due to Mod Alt L Status differed between impact creeks and various control creeks.
Drinkwater and PA2 had a significant interaction for Axis 1 (F = 7.01, P = 0.02) where there was
more herbivore and detritivore compared to PA2 (Figure II-C22). Tooley Creek had a significant
interaction with Muddy Creek on Axis 1 (F = 5.44, P = 0.03) and Long Creek (F = 7.16, P =
0.02); there were slightly more herbivores and detritivores in Tooley Creek compared to Muddy
Creek and Long Creek (Figure II-C23).
Answer: Fish
No change in fish forage base due to mine activities is apparent. Multivariate
cluster analysis of fish for all creeks and all collection years reveals some differences
based on gear type (fyke net vs trawl) and also separates some pre -Mod Alt L and post -
Mod Alt L years within clusters; however, the multivariate cluster analysis did not reveal
distinct changes in fish assemblages due to mine activities within the drainage basins of
Jacks Creek, Jacobs Creek, Drinkwater Creek, Tooley Creek, Huddles Cut, Porter Creek,
and/or DCUT11.
Comparison of interannual variability by means of ANOSIM detected spatial
differences of statistical significance between pre- and post -Mod Alt L fish assemblages
within the drainage basin of Jacks Creek, Drinkwater Creek and Tooley Creek. It is
believed that low CPUE observed locally throughout South Creek and surrounding
II-C-13
tributaries in both 2016-2017 trawl samples is likely the reason that set post -Mod Alt
years apart from pre -Mod Alt L years in Jacks, Drinkwater, and Tooley Creeks, especially
in Jacks Creek where 2016-2017 represent two of only four post -Mod Alt L years.
Lack of observations prior to 2011 and variability in the frequency and numbers of
grass shrimp, penaeid shrimp, and blue crab collected in all creeks makes it very difficult
to discern any mine -related spatial pattern.
The guild dendrograms also show no clear trend among the pre- and post -Mod Alt
L fish assemblages that could indicate potential effects from mine activities; only one
cluster of 16 consisted of solely post -Mod Alt L data. As with richness and abundance
data, most other post -Mod Alt L years for the guilds were distributed into clusters which
also contained a pre -Mod Alt L year for the same creek or a control creek.
Comparison of interannual variability by means of ANOSIM detected spatial
differences of statistical significance between pre- and post -Mod Alt L guild assemblages
within the drainage basin of Drinkwater Creek. Temporal variability analysis of water
quality variables displayed strong positive correlation for six of 13 creeks (DCUT19,
Jacks, PA2, Little, Drinkwater and Duck) with SAV, phosphate (total dissolved and
orthophosphate), Nitrate (total dissolved or NO3), salinity, dissolved oxygen and pH.
These six environmental variables were most important in fish trophic guild structure.
Answer: Macrobenthos
For five of the seven impact creeks (Huddles Cut, Jacobs Creek, Drinkwater
Creek, Tooley Creek, and Porter Creek) comparison of interannual variability by means of
ANOSIM for upstream and downstream sweep and ponar data within each creek detected
spatial differences of statistical significance between pre- and post -Mod Alt L
macroinvertebrate communities (Sweeps- upstream and downstream Jacobs and Tooley
creeks, upstream Huddles Cut, and downstream Porter Creek. Ponar-downstream Tooley
Creek).
The all creeks dendrograms for sweeps and ponar richness and abundance show
no clear trend among the pre- and post -Mod Alt L macrobenthic data that could indicate
potential effects from mine activities. Except for Huddles Cut, sweep and ponar
years/locations richness and abundance are distributed into clusters represented by
similar years/locations for the control creeks and/or other pre -Mod Alt L years. For
Huddles Cut, the analysis showed that most pre- and post -Mod Alt L years commonly
clustered together, usually with no other creek. The clusters continue to point to the
uniqueness of Huddles Cut compared to other creeks. In 2020, benthic abundance
and/or taxa count for 17 out of 40 creek sites were record lows for both ponars and/or
sweeps. Since these record lows were in both impact and control creeks, it's unlikely
these changes in benthic abundance and taxa count were due to mine -related activities.
The guild dendrograms also show no clear trend among the pre- and post -Mod Alt L
macrobenthic data that could indicate potential effects from mine activities. There was
only one cluster that consisted solely of post -Mod L data (Huddles 2012- Downstream).
However, Huddles Cut illustrates some unique characteristic that differentiates it from
other creeks in the study. As with richness and abundance data, most other post -Mod
II-C-14
Alt L years for the guilds were distributed into clusters which also contained a pre -Mod
Alt L year for the same creek or a matched control creek year. In 2020, scraper was a
dominant trophic guild among most of the creek sites (e.g., Tooley upstream, DCUT 11
upstream, PA2 downstream, and DCUT19 upstream), while shredder and filter feeder
trophic guild was predominant in Porter Creek downstream. Common scraper or filter -
feeder trophic guilds were Littordinops tenuipes (scraper) and Mediomastus sp.
(collector filter -feeder, as well as collector -gatherer). The mixed model ANOVA on guild
composition showed that changes in the benthic communities of four impact creeks
post -Mod Alt L did significantly differ from the changes in benthic communities of their
respective control creeks during the same time period. In Jacks Creek upstream there
were less herbivore and detritivore trophic level post -Mod Alt L when compared to
Muddy Creek (control). The opposite trend was found in downstream Drinkwater Creek,
a nearby impact creek, when compared to PA2 (control), with herbivore and detritivore
greater post -Mod Alt L in Drinkwater Creek. However, downstream Tooley Creek post -
Mod Alt L, another nearby impact creek, had less herbivore and detritivore trophic level
compared to two control creeks (Muddy and Long). In Porter Creek upstream post -Mod
Alt, shredder, scraper, and grazer were less compared to Duck Creek (control), but
slightly greater when compared to Little Creek (control).

Table II-C3. Summary of trawl and fyke net shrimp (penaeid and grass) and blue crab catch frequency and score data from 2011 through 2020. Broomfield Swamp Creek and SCUT1 data were added to study in 2019.
Fyke nets were used to fish DCUT 11, DCUT19, and Huddles Cut. Score is based on the frequency of catch (number of weeks of catch out of total collection weeks) and number of individuals caught and used to
compare species' usage among creeks.

Table II-05. Calculated averages of three different benthic parameters for pre and post -Mod
Alt L years for each creek. The pre and post -Mod Alt L years for each control creek were
calculated using their corresponding impact creek. The cumulative average is calculating all
the years, whether that was pre or post years. The "n" is the number of sampling years for
each pre, post -Mod Alt L years, and the cumulative years.
