Anthony,
You had asked if we had any documentation of the North Creek closure. Sorry for the delay... I've attached a PDF map
showing the closure through the years. It appears that North Creek has been closed at least since 1975.
I've also attached a number of early Sanitary Survey Reports showing the reason (originally for exceeding the
bacteriological standard) for closure there. We have additional (more recent0 reports if you need it, including one in
2013 (which shows improvement with our stations there) but with no shellfish resource there we don't have additional
stations in the closed area.
Let me know if you need anything else.

Area G -1 consists of that portion of the Pamlico River from Cousin Point
to Wades Point on the north shore and from Hickory Point to Fulford Point
on the south shore. Included in this area are the waters and tributaries
in Goose Creek, north of the Hobucken Bridge and all waters and tribu-
taries of North Creek. There are approximately 17,000 acres of water in
this area. (See Exhibit I for map of area.)
This area is sparsely populated and has no major sources of pollution.
North Creek is the most populated section of the area with a few fishing
vessels moored in the Creek. Agricultural operations are the only industry
located within the boundaries of the area.

South Creek, located to the southwest of the area, is closed to the harvesting
of shellfish as are all waters upstream of Area G-1 in the Pamlico River.
Although the towns of Aurora and Washington discharge into South Creek and
the Upper Pamlico respectively, the buffer zone is more than adequate to
safeguard open shellfish waters.
The area has very little significance as a shellfish growing area. The only
shellfish found in the area is the Rangia clam and they are being harvested
for shell use only.
II. SANITARY EVALUATION OF SOURCES OF POLLUTION INCLUDING SEWAGE SYSTEKS
A partial survey of the north side of Area G -1, from Cousin Point to Wades
Point, along Pamlico River and including North Creek, Ross Creek, Bailey
Creek, and East Fork, was begun on October 14, 1974, and was completed on
October 24, 1974.
The area included in this portion of the survey included the area on SR 1734,
SR 1732, SR 1730, and a portion of SR 1725 around the northeastern reaches
of Bailey Creek.
Participating in this portion of the survey were John Hazelton and Wayne
Mobley of Shellfish Sanitation and Willie Shooter, Horace Moore, and Donnie
Woolard, sanitarians from Beaufort County Health Department.
A total of 400 private sewage disposal systems were inspected and 20 were
found to be functioning unsatisfactorily. Corrective action was accom-
plished by the Beaufort County Health Department and at the time of this
report all violations have been corrected.
The remainder of the northern section of G -1 was surveyed on January 6,
1976, by Wayne Mobley and Jimmy Davis of Shellfish Sanitation. This survey
included the area on SR 1722 and NC 92 in the vicinity of Ransomville and
- 2 -

the residences on SR 1731.
A total of 35 inspections were made and 4 violations were found. A large
hog farm was found on the northeast shore of North Creek, which for the past
3 years, has maintained a swine population between 100 and 300 hogs. All
the hogs have been sold but the same farmer plans to maintain a herd of
approximately 20 cattle. He has built 2 new lagoons for raising hogs for
the future;sbut until the present time, all of the animals have been raised
directly on the Creek.
There were 3 boats with marine heads moored on the southwest shore of North
Creek.
Notices of Violation were issued and copies were given to the Beaufort
County Health Department. Follow -up will be conducted by both Shellfish
Sanitation and Beaufort County Health Department.
There are 5 general soil associations found in this section of G -1. A brief
description of these and their limitations for septic tank usage is as follows.
A. Lynchburg - Goldsboro - Dunbar Association - These soils are located
on both sides of North Creek and on the west side of Ross Creek. They are
described by the Soil Conservation Service as being "moderately well to
somewhat poorly drained soils occurring on nearly level to gentle slopes."
They have severe limitations for septic tank usage because of flooding and
a high water table.
B. Lenoir - Craven - Bladen Association - These soils are "moderately
well to poorly drained soils occurring on nearly level to strongly sloping
ridges." They have severe limitations for septic tank usage because of
flooding, high water table, and poor permeability. These soils comprise
the area around the northern reaches of Ross Creek.
C. Bladen - Portsmouth - Bayboro Association - These soils make up
the area on the eastern shore of Ross Creek, the northern shore of Bailey
- 3 -

Cree$, snd northeastward to SR 1725. They also comprise most of the area
immediately northeast of SR 1732 and southeast of NC 92 and SR 1722. These
soils, according to the Soil Conservation Service, are "poorly to very poorly
drained soils occurring on nearly level or slight depressions." They have
severe limitations for septic tank usage because of flooding, poor perme-
ability, and a high water table.
D. Coxville - Rk nes - Orthello Association - These soils are found
in the area between East Fork'',. and Bailey Creek. They are "poorly drained
soils on nearly level slopes." They have severe limitations for septic
tank usage because of a high water table and poor permeability.
E. Swamn - Alluvial Land - Wet Association - These soils are found
on the immediate shoreline from the north shore of Bailey Creek back south
to Pamlico Creek. These are "poorly drained to very poorly drained soils
on nearly level to slight depressions." They have severe limitations for
septic tank usage because of flooding and a high water table.
A partial survey of the southern portion of G -1, bounded by Pamlico River
on the north and by Goose Creek on the east, was conducted by Wayne Mobley
on October 14, 1974- Of the 100 inspections that were made, 4 systems were
found to be malfunctioning.
The area covered in this survey was beginning on the southern shore of
Pamlico River at the end of SR 1964, southeastward along SR 1901 and SR 1963;
thence southeastward along SR 1963 to Campbell Creek. The area along SR
1901 to Goose Creek was also included. The southernmost boundary, NC 33,
was taken to Hobucken.
All violations and corrections were included in the survey that was made
during the same time as the northern portion.
Moat of this portion of G -1 is comprised of the Bladen - Portsmouth -
Ba boro soils which have been previously described. The area comprised of
- 4 -

these soils is the northernmost portion of the peninsula formed by Goose
Creek and Pamlico River, southerly, to Campbell Creek.
There is some Swamp - Alluvial Land, also previously described, immediately
along the western shore of Goose Creek and along both sides of Campbell
Creek.
The area along both sides of NO 33 is comprised of soils belonging to the
Muck Association. These soils, according to the Soil Conservation Service,
are organic soils with severe limitations for septic tank usage because of
flooding and a high water table.
There is 1 sewage treatment plant which serves the Coast Guard Station at
Hobucken. This aerobic treatment plant, with a 3,000 gallon design capacity,
serves 25 enlisted men daily and discharges through 2 bell siphons, first
into a sand filter bed, and then into the Intracoastal Waterway, just north
of the bridge. This plant, manufactured by Davao, is equipped for primary,
secondary, and tertiary treatment. A spokesman at the Coast Guard Station
indicated that a chlorine residual of .5 is maintained, but occasionally
on the weekends, the plant appears to be overloaded.
The southeastern portion of G-1 was surveyed by Dave Clawson and Beaman
McCoy, Shellfish Sanitation, on August 28, 1973. The survey was<:begun at
the Hobucken Bridge and commenced in an easterly direction along NO 304 to
SR 1230. A northerly direction was followed along SR 1230 to SR 1232 and
a northwesterly direction was taken to the end of SR 1232;to the east bank
of Goose Creek. Sewageddisposal systems at all businesses and residences
along these routes and on all roads west of these routes were inspected
for malfunctions.
Of the 102 inspections that were made 19 Notices of Violation were issued.
Copies of these were sent to the Pamlico County Health Department for
- 5 -

corrective action.
A description of the 3 general soils found in this section of G -1 is as
follows:
A. Leaf - Bavboro Association - These soils comprise the area south
of Fulford Point, along Goose Creek and eastward past Lowland. They are
described by the Soil Conservation Service as being "nearly level poorly
to very poorly drained soils "with severe limitations for septic tank
usage because of a high water table, poor percolation rates, and a shrink -
swell potential.
B. Tidal Marsh Association - This soil is described as being "nearly
level land overflowed by high tidewater." It has very severe limitations
for septic tank usage because of flooding and a high water table. These
soils comprise the northern shore of Dixon Creek, both sides of Eastham
Creek, and both sides of Upper Spring Creek.
C. Portsmouth - Tarhunta Association - These soils are found along
the eastern shore of the Intracoastal Waterway immediately north of Hobucken
and along SR 1230. These soils are "nearly level very poorly drained soils"
and have severe limitations for septic tank usage because of a high water
table and a low filtering capacity.
The total estimated population of G -1 is 1950 with a total of 400 hogs, 100
cattle, 25 horses, and 1000 fowl, including domestic and migratory. The
migratory fowl population, however, increases sharply during the winter
months.
There was some open dumping of refuse observed north of SR 1730 and no
sanitary landfills were found in the area. (A listing of all sewage vio-
lations found in Area G -1 can be found in Exhibit II.)
III. EVALUATIONS OF HYDROGRAPHIC FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SPREAD OF POLLUTION
- 6 -

IV.
Pamlico River tides are wind influenced and there have not been any drogue
studies conducted.
Salinities vary in the area with higher readings recorded in the upper reaches
of Goose Creek where they range from 2 ppt to 19 ppt. In the Pamlico River
section salinities range from less than 1 ppt to 10 ppt. Freshwater run-off
has not been a problem in the main river body although coliform counts do,;
increase in the smaller tributaries.
The bacteriological survey was begun in September, 1974, and concluded in
September, 1975. During this time 193 water samples were collected from 18
sampling stations. (See Exhibit I for station locations and Exhibit III for
complete bacteriological results and MPN medians.) The quality of the water
remains much as it was on the previous survey with one exception, the North
Creek section. Stations # 15, #16, and #17 are located in the Creek and all
3 exceed the standards for approved shellfish waters. Station # 15, at the
mouth of the Creek, has a median of 93 and also has more than 10% of the
samples exceed 330. Stations # 16 and #17 exceed 330 by more than 10%.
The bacteriological quality of the remaining stations of the area is good
with median MPN's ranging from 3.6 to 43.
The Shellfish Sanitation Unit has not done any chemical analysis on these
waters, although we will have information, data, etc., from the Pamlico
Marine Laboratory which has conducted sampling on the Pamlico River for a
number of years. This information will be in the office files and will
not be part of this report.
Radiological sampling in this area will begin in the summer of 1976 and
will be done in cooperation with the Radiological Unit of the Division
- 7 -

V.
of Health Services and the Shellfish Sanitation Unit.
The bacteriological and shoreline surveys indicate the need for closure
of the shellfishing waters of North Creek. Livestock operations are
believed to be the main reason for the high bacteria counts found during
this survey. There were also 4 violations of sewage regulations noted and
cited. The recommended closure will have no effect on the shellfish
industry because there are no shellfish being harvested in the area.
The small sewage treatment plant at the U. S. Coast Guard Station at
Hobucken seems to be operating satisfactorily and the present closure around
the plant is adequate.
The remainder of the area will remain open to shellfish harvesting. (See
Exhibit Iii for closure proclamation and map.)

SHELLFISH SANITATION PROGRAM
NORTH CAROLINA DIVISION OF HEALTH SERVICES
Area G -1 consists of that portion of the Pamlico River from Cousin Point to
Wades Point on the north shore and from Hickory Point to Falford Point on the
south shore. Included in this area are the waters and tributaries in Goose
Creek, north of the Hobucken Bridge and all waters and tributaries of North
Creek. There are approximately 17,000 acres of water in this area. (See
Exhibit I for map of area.)
This area is sparsely populated and has no major sources of pollution. North
Creek is the most populated section of the area with a few fishing vessels
moored in the Creek. Agricultural operations are the only industry located
within the boundaries of the area. South Creek, located to the southwest of
the area, is closed to the harvesting of shellfish as are all waters upstream
of Area G -1 in the Pamlico River. The towns of Aurora and Washington discharge
treated effluents into South Creek and the Upper Pamlico River respectively.
The distance upstream from the waters of Area G -1 makes them insignificant to
overall water quality.
The area has little significance as a shellfish growing area with only the
Rangia clam found in any abundance.
II. SANITARY EVALUATION OF SOURCES OF POLLUTION INCLUDING SEWAGE SYSTEMS
A shoreline survey of Area G -1 was begun on May 1, 1978, and was completed on
May 20, 1978. Conducting the survey were Steve Vohs, Paul Murphy, and Charlie
Jackson, all of the Shellfish Sanitation staff, and Sam Spence of the Pamlico

County Health Department.
This area includes two counties, Pamlico and Beaufort. Both county health
departments were visited prior to beginning and the sanitarians were familiarized
with the plans for conducting the survey. Mr. Bob O'Neal agreed, that while
his staff was too busy to assist in conducting the study, he would be willing
to assist in furnishing assistance in any problems encountered in obtaining
corrections. Charlie McCotter furnished one sanitarian, Mr. Spence, who assisted
Mr. Murphy in making the initial inspections in the area involving Pamlico
County.
The route followed in the Beaufort County portion of the survey was as follows.
(See Exhibit II for shoreline survey route.) SR 1730, in the Pamlico Beach
area, was included entirely, from the western end to the eastern end at Wades
Point. SR 1731 was also included, from its intersection with SR 1722, to its
southern end. Also included were SR 1734 and a portion of SR 1732 from its
intersection with SR 1735 to its end on North Creek at Ransomville. NC 92
was followed in a northerly direction for approximately 1 mile. This included
all of the Beaufort County area on the north side of Pamlico River.
On the southern side of Pamlico River, the survey began at the end of SR 1964.
It included SR 1902, SR 1901, SR 1963, SR 1904, SR 1906, and a portion of
SR 1912 from Spring Creek, west, a distance of approximately .3 mile. All of
the streets in the community of Campbell Creek were included, as well as NC 33,
from Campbell Creek, southeast to Hobucken.
In addition, all other roads, drives, and paths, both public and private,
between the above described route and the surface waters of Area G -1, were
included.
Mr. Murphy and Mr. Spence began their survey work in Pamlico County at the
intersection of SR 1230 and SR 1229. They followed both these roads in a
- 2 -

southerly direction to a point almost to NC 33 and NC 304.
Wayne Mobley and John Mc Cotter, in October 1975 and November 1975, conducted
a survey along the following route.
Beginning at the western end of SR 1232, they followed an easterly course,
through Lowland, along SR 1232, to its eastern end. They began at the inter-
section of SR 1232 and SR 1230 and followed SR 1230 in a southerly direction,
to the point where Mr. Murphy and Mr. Spence ended their work.
Also included was SR 1231, SR 1236, and SR 1237, as well as all other roads,
paths, and drives, both public and private, between the above - described route
and the shellfish growing waters of Area G -1.
The route that was covered by Mr. Mobley and Mr. McCotter in 1975 was not
surveyed again. Paul Murphy and Charlie Jackson made a general inspection of
the area and no significant changes were found to have occurred since then.
Therefore, the information obtained in that survey was deemed current and was
used in this survey.
All residences, places of business, and places of public assembly in this area
were visited. The sewage disposal system at each location was inspected and
Notices of Violation were issued in cases where malfunctions were found or in
cases where no sewage disposal system was found. Copies of these notices were
given to the sanitarians in the respective health departments.
Of the 388 inspections that were made, 29 residences were found to have either
no sewage disposal system at all, or improperly functioning systems. At the
time of this report, with no follow -up having yet been conducted in Pamlico
County, and very little in Beaufort County, 11 corrections have been made.
More follow -up will be conducted. (See Exhibit III for sewage violations.)
- 3 -

Most of Area G -1 is inhabited by permanent residents. However, there are many
summer residents, especially in the Pamlico Beach area on SR 1730. There are
approximately 1350 residents in the area.
The approximate numbers of animals in Area G -1 are as follow. These numbers
are derived from a combination of estimating and actually counting.
Cows 65
Fowl 350
Hogs 20
Horses 15
Dogs 85
Area G -1 is a rural area, much of it being uninhabited. This is especially
true of the area along Goose Creek, Snodes Creek, Spring Creek, the south side
of Pamlico River, except in the area of SR 1964 and SR 1902, East Fork, and
Bailey Creek.
There is no industrial development. The only industry is that related to fishing,
farming, and forestry. The topography of the entire area lends itself to these
industrial activities. Most of the area is either cleared for row -crop farming
or is covered by mixed pine and hardwood forests.
The soil conditions and their suitabilities and limitations for septic tank
usage were addressed in the last survey. All of them are unsuited for septic
tank systems. Their limitations are mostly related to a high water table and
a poor percolation rate.
The Coast Guard Station on the Intracoastal Waterway bridge at Hobucken is still
using an aerobic sewage treatment plant. This system is designed for 3,000 gpd.
It consists of an aerobic plant, a sand filter bed, a thirty minute chlorine -
contact changer, and a final discharge into the Intracoastal Waterway. This
plant, as was found in the last survey, is maintained very well.

III. EVALUATIONS OF HYDROGRAPHIC FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SPREAD OF POLLUTION
IV.
V.
Tides in the Pamlico River are influenced by prevailing winds and drogue
studies have not been needed.
Salinities in this Pamlico River area are generally low, ranging from less
than 1 ppt to 10 ppt.
The bacteriological survey was begun in January, 1977, and concluded in May,
1978. During the survey 196 water samples were collected and bacteriologically
examined. (See Exhibit I for station locations.) Indications are that water
quality remains much the same as on previous surveys. Some improvement is
noted in the only prohibited waters of the area at North Creek. Stations # 15,
#16, and #17 had total coliform medians of 26.1, 93, and 33 respectively. All
3 stations exceeded the 10% rule, although fecal coliform counts were acceptable.
Some of the stations located in Goose Creek exceeded the 10% rule, although both
total and fecal medians were low. (See Exhibit IV for bacteriological results
and MPN medians.)
Radiological sampling has begun and the Pamlico River has been selected as one
of the sampling sites. Results of this sampling program are available from
the Radiological Unit of the Division of Health Services.
There has been no chemical analysis of these waters during this survey, although
a heavy metals program has been initiated by the Division of Health Services
Laboratory Section and the Shellfish Sanitation Unit. The Pamlico River will
be one of the sampling sites used in this study.
The sanitary survey of the Goose Creek and southern Pamlico River area
- 5 -

indicates no major pollution sources. The area is thinly populated with no
industry that could cause pollution problems. The closed area boundary at
North Creek is adequate with Station #15 at the prohibited boundary line
having acceptable coliform counts. Station #3, located at the mouth of Upper
Spring Creek, had 2 samples in excess of 330. The total coliform median for
this station was 23. There are no shellfish growing in the vicinity and no
health problems are anticipated.
In conclusion, it is felt that the waters of Area G -1 are properly classified
and no changes are recommended. (See Exhibit V for prohibited area map.)

REPORT OF SANITARY SURVEY
GOOSE CREEK AREA
AREA G -1
By
SHELLFISH SANITATION PROGRAM
NORTH CAROLINA DIVISION OF HEALTH SERVICES
Area G -1 consists of that portion of the Pamlico River from Cousin Point to
Wades Point on the north shore and from Hickory Point to Fulford Point on the
south shore. Included in thi7 area are the waters and tributaries in Goose
Creek, north of the Hobucken Bridge and all waters and tributaries of North
Creek. There are approximately 17,000 acres of water in this area. (See
Exhibit I for map of area.)
This area is sparsely populated and has no major sources of pollution. North
Creek is the most populated section of the area with a few fishing vessels
moored in the Creek. Agricultural operations are the only industry located
within the boundaries of the area. South Creek, located to the southwest of
the area, is closed to the harvesting of shellfish as are all waters upstream
of Area G -1 in the Pamlico River. The towns of Aurora and Washington discharge
treated effluents into South Creek and the Upper Pamlico River respectively.
The distance upstream from the waters of Area G -1 makes them insignificant
to overall water quality.
The area has little significance as a shellfish growing area with only the
Rangia clam found in any abundance.
II. SANITARY EVALUATION OF SOURCES OF POLLUTION INCLUDING SEWAGE SYSTEMS
On June 17, 1980, and June 19, 1980, a spot check shoreline survey of Area
G -1 was conducted by Charlie Jackson and Paul Murphy of the Shellfish Sani-
tation staff. The route of the 1978 comprehensive shoreline survey was

followed.
It was noted that no significant changes since the survey had been made in
the area. Therefore, it is felt that the information contained in the 1978
comprehensive shoreline survey is and will remain current until the next
regularly scheduled comprehensive shoreline survey.
III. EVALUATIONS OF HYDROGRAPHIC FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SPREAD OF POLLUTION
Tides in the Pamlico River are influenced by prevailing winds and drogue
studies have not been needed.
Salinities in this Pamlico River area are generally low, ranging from less
than 1 ppt to 10 ppt.
IV. BACTERIOLOGICAL CHEMICAL AND RADIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF SHELLFISH WATERS
The bacteriological survey was begun in May, 1979, and concluded in August,
1980. During the survey 179 water samples were collected from 18 sampling
stations. (See Exhibit I for station locations.) Results indicate little
change in bacteriological water quality since the 1978 survey. Stations #3,
#5, and #17 had coliform medians that exceed acceptable standards. The only
station presently in prohibited waters is Station #17. Station #3 is located
at Beacon #11 at the head of Goose Creek, and Station #5 is located in Camp-
bell Creek. Both stations had coliform medians of 93 and fecal coliform
medians that are below 9.1. The water quality at all other stations is satis-
factory. (See Exhibit II for bacteriological results and ITN medians.)
V. SUMMARY AND RESULTANT AREA CLASSIFICATION
The shoreline survey revealed no major pollution sources in this area. The
closed area boundary at North Creek appears to be more than adequate, with
coliform counts of acceptable quality at the two outermost prohibited area
stations. There is no shellfish resource in this Creek and there is no
need to change the prohibited boundary line at this time. Stations #3 and
#5 had unsatisfactory total coliform medinas, but there are no shellfish
- 2 -

in this section and no need to make additional closures. The fecal coliform
medians were satisfactory at both stations. It is therefore felt that the
present classification of growing waters is satisfactory. (See Exhibit III
for closed area map.)

I. INTRODUCTION
Area G -1 consists of that portion of the Pamlico River from Cousin Point to
Wades Point on the north shore and from Hickory Point to Fulford Point on
the south shore. Included in this area are the waters and tributaries in
Goose Creek, north of the Hobucken Bridge and all waters and tributaries of
North Creek. There are approximately 17,000 acres of water in this area.
(See Exhibit I for map of area.)
This area is sparsely populated and has no major sources of pollution.
North Creek is the most populated section of the area with a few fishing
vessels moored in the Creek. Agricultural operations are the only industry
located within the boundaries of the area. South Creek, located to the
southwest of the area, is closed to the harvesting of shellfish as are all
waters upstream of Area G -1 in the Pamlico River. The towns of Aurora and
Washington discharge treated effluents into South Creek and the Upper Pamlico
River respectively. The distance upstream from the waters of Area G -1 makes
them insignificant to overall water quality.
The area has little significance as a shellfish growing area with only the
Rangia clam found in any abundance.
II. SANITARY EVALUATION OF SOURCES OF POLLUTION, INCLUDING SEWAGE SYSTEMS
A shoreline survey of Area G -1 was begun on October 20, 1982, and completed
on December 8, 1982. Conducting the survey was Steven Vohs of the Shellfish
Sanitation staff. All residences, businesses, and places of public assembly

either directly on, or in close proximity to the water, were visited.
(See Exhibit II for shoreline survey route.)
Beaufort and Pamlico County Health Departments were notified about the
survey and both agreed to assist in any follow -up activities that might
be needed. There were 279 visits and 85 inspections made during the survey.
No violations were noted.
Most of Area G -1 is rural with no heavily populated areas. The only
exception is the Wades Point, Pamlico Beach section of Beaufort County
which is primarily summer homes. The estimated population of the area
is 1200. There are no large marinas in the area, although, 16 boats large
enough to have marine heads were observed throughout the area.
The only industry noted is related to either fishing, forestry, or agri-
culture.
The only sewage treatment plant in the area is located at the U. S. Coast
Guard Station at Hobucken and is a 3,000 gpd aerobic plant with a sandfilter
bed system with a 30 minute chlorine contact chamber. Final discharge is
to the Intracoastal Waterway. The system appears to be well maintained.
III. EVALUATION OF HYDROGRAPHIC FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SPREAD OF POLLUTION
Tides in the Pamlico River are influenced by prevailing winds and drogue
studies are not needed. Salinities varied between 4 ppt and 15 ppt during
the sampling period.
IV. BACTERIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF SHELLFISH WATERS
The bacteriological survey was concluded in April, 1984, and consisted of
197 samples from 18 sampling stations. (See Exhibit I for station locations.)
Results indicate very good bacterial water quality in most of the area; the
only exception being the upper North Creek section. The only station
- 2 -

having unsatisfactory results was Station x)17, exceeding the 10% rule.
The fecal coliform median at Station #17 is 4.3. Medians ranged from less
than 1.8 to 13 throughout the area. (See Exhibit III for bacteriological
results and MPN medians.)
V. SUMMARY AND RESULTANT AREA CLASSIFICATION
The area has shown little change in recent surveys and there are no major
sources of pollution. The buffer zone around the STP located at Hobucken
appears to be adequate. The only station with unsatisfactory results for
an approved area is within the prohibited area of North Creek. The only
shellfish found in this section are Rangia clams that presently have no
commercial market.
It is felt that the area is properly classified and no changes are needed
in classification, (See Exhibit IV for prohibited area map.)

SANITARY EVALUATION OF SOURCES OF POLLUTION
A shoreline survey of Area G -1 was begun on November 18, 1985, and
completed on December 12, 1985. Steven Vohs of the Shellfish Sanitation

staff conducted the survey.
Prior to conducting the survey the Beaufort County Health Department
was contacted and informed of the survey route. They requested that no
violation notice be issued for washing machine waste but that two weeks
notice be given for any other violations.
The same route was followed that is described in the last survey. (See
Exhibit II; yellow denotes the route followed and red denotes area surveyed.)
All residences, businesses, and places of public assembly either directly
on the water or in close proximity to the water, where someone was found
to be home, were visited and inspected.
Land area of G -1 is located on both sides of the Pamlico River and will be
described in two parts. Pamlico Beach and Wades Point are located on the
north side of Pamlico River and are heavily developed with summer homes.
There are approximately 300 dwellings in this section and approximately
10% are occupied year around. No violations were noted during the survey.
The North Creek area is sparsely populated with twenty homes along the
creek and six of those are summer homes. One washer waste violation was
noted in this area.
There were no marinas or large boats noted in this section of G -1.
Trash and garbage is collected through a green box system; no roadside
dumping was noted.
The area on the south side of Pamlico River is sparsely populated with
- 2 -

summer residential development at the ends of SR1964 and 1901. On
SR1964 there are 33 homes; six being occupied by full time residents.
Goose Creek is located on SR1901 with 20 homes located on three canals
with small boat harbors. Another residential area on this road has 10
homes and two year around residences. Lowland Seafood is located on
the end of SR1236. They pack out at most eight trawlers, with four
docked at this time. There was some roadside dumping noted on this road.
Trash and garbage for this area is collected through a green box system
and carried outside the area.
There were 315 visits in Area G -1, 279 inspections, and 26 conferences.
No violation notices were issued and only the violations mentioned were
found.
The only water quality contributing factors noted for this area are the
high water table found throughout the area and the Coast Guard sewage
treatment plant located on Hwy 33. This is a 3000 gpd aerobic plant with
a 30 minute chlorine contact chamber to a sand filter bed. Final discharge
is to the Intracoastal Waterway.
The estimated population of Area G -1 is 1200
III. EVALUATION OF HYDROGRAPHIC FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SPREAD OF POLLUTION
Tides in the Pamlico River are influenced by prevailing winds and drogue
studies are not needed. Salinities varied between 10ppt and 18ppt and
averaged around 15ppt.
IV. BACTERIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF SHELLFISH WATERS
The bacteriological survey was begun in March, 1985, and concluded in
September, 1986. During the survey 143 water samples were collected from
- 3 -

18 water sampling stations. (See Exhibit I for station locations.)
Results have been satisfactory throughout the survey. Fecal coliform
medians ranged from /1.8 to 6.2. (See Exhibit III for all MPN data.)
V. SUMMARY AND RESULTANT AREA CLASSIFICATION
This area has little source of contamination as revealed by the shore-
, line survey and the bacteriological survey. The sections that are
currently classified as prohibited have no shellfish resource. It is,
therefore, recommended that no changes be made in the classification of
the growing waters of the area at this time. (See Exhibit IV for prohibited
area map.)

REPORT OF SANITARY SURVEY
GOOSE CREEK AREA
AREA G -1
SHELLFISH SANITATION BRANCH
NORTH CAROLINA DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
I. INTRODUCTION
Area G -1 consists of that portion of the Pamlico River from
Cousin Point to Wades Point on the north shore and from
Hickory Point to Fulford Point on the south shore. Included
in this area are the waters and tributaries in Goose Creek,
north of the Hobucken Bridge and all waters and tributaries of
North Creek. There are approximately 17,000 acres of water in
this area. (See Exhibit I for map of area.)
This area is thinly populated, with approximately 200
permanent inhabitants. North Creek is the most populated
section of the area with a few fishing vessels moored in the
Creek. There are no major sources of pollution in G -1. The
U.S. Coast Guard Station at Hobucken no longer discharges
treated wastewater into the Intracoastal Waterway (ICWW).
Agricultural and commercial fishing operations are the only
industries located within the boundaries of the area.
South Creek, located to the southwest of the area, is closed
to the harvesting of shellfish as are all waters upstream of
Area G -1 in the Pamlico River. The towns of Aurora and
Washington discharge treated effluents into South Creek and

the upper Pamlico River respectively. The distance upstream
from the waters of Area G -1 makes these discharges
insignificant to overall water quality.
The area has little significance as a shellfish growing area.
The only clams found in the area are of the Rangia (fresh-
', water) variety and are not being commercially harvested at
this time.
II. SHORELINE SURVEY OF SOURCES OF POLLUTION
A shoreline survey of Area G -1 was conducted during February,
1991. The Beaufort County Health Department was informed
about the survey and requested that violation notices be
issued. The area will be described in two sections, the
northside of Pamlico River and the southside of Pamlico River.
(See Exhibit II for shoreline survey route.)
The southern section of G -1 is sparsely populated the only new
development in the area is the Spring Creek Subdivision
located on the shoreline of Spring Creek. There are 34 lots
that average more than 3 acres in size. No homes have been
constructed at the time of this survey. Septic systems will
be used for sewage disposal. The majority of the septic
systems will be installed in a mound to obtain the necessary
separation between the trench bottom and seasonal high water
table.
2

The U.S. Coast Guard Station near Hobucken no longer
discharges treated wastewater into the ICWW. The treated
wastewater is disposed of through two subsurface low pressure
pipe drainfields approximately 100 yards from the ICWW.
Chlorine has been replaced by ultra - violet light for
disinfection. The sewage treatment plant operates at the
design capacity of 3000 gallons per day. There are 21 people
employed at the Station. Sampling from the wastewater plant
has not been conducted since October, 1990. The laboratory
contracted to analyze samples no longer provides that service.
At the time of this survey the Coast Guard had not contracted
another lab.
Lowland Seafood in Lowland is located at the end of State Road
(S.R.) #1236 on the shore of Eastham Creek. At the time of
the survey there were 14 boats greater that 21 feet in length
docked in the vicinity of the seafood business. Large fuel
tanks were observed near the water with no retaining wall. It
is felt that this area will be closed in accordance with North
Carolina Rules Governing the Sanitation of Shellfish, .1411
Marinas, Docking Facilities, Other Mooring Areas.
The northern section of the G -1 shoreline survey includes
North Creek, Pamlico Beach and Wade Point. North Creek
Landing is a new subdivision located on S.R. #1732. There are
30 lots in the development with one house completed and one
3

house under construction. The development has completed a 22
slip sailboat marina. Another marina, North Creek Marina, is
also located on S.R. #1732 and is a commercial marina with 22
slips. The marina is associated with a commercial seafood
operation. There were four boats with heads. The marina also
sells fuel.
The Wade Point - Pamlico Beach area is mostly a seasonal
residential section. There are approximately 30 permanent
residences in this section.
Septic system inspections were conducted at homes that were in
proximity to shellfish growing waters. There were zits visiL-5,
263 septic system inspections and 5 sewage violations issued.
one violation was issued on Spring Creek, one on North Creek
and three on Pamlico Beach. Thirty days were given to correct
the violations.
The permanent population for Area G -1 is approximately 200.
Agriculture and forestry is extensive throughout the area and
may impact the water quality in the Pamlico River and the
tributaries in G -1.

III. EVALUATION OF HYDROGRAPHIC FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SPREAD
Tides in the Pamlico River are influenced by prevailing winds
and drogue studies are not needed. Salinity readings
collected during this survey varied from 5 parts per thousand
(ppt) to 16 ppt (See Exhibit III).
IV. BACTERIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF SHELLFISH GROWING WATERS
The bacteriological survey began in March, 1988, and concluded
in March, 1991. The survey consisted of 15 sampling sets from
18 stations located throughout the area. (See Exhibit I for
station locations.) A total of 270 water samples were
collected and examined for fecal coliform bacteria. (See
Exhibit IV for bacteriological results and MPN medians.)
Sampling results have been satisfactory throughout the survey.
All stations sampled met National Shellfish Sanitation Program
(NSSP) criteria for approved shellfishing waters. Fecal
coliform medians ranged from <1.8 to 6.8.
V. SUMMARY AND RESULTANT AREA CLASSIFICATION
Results from the bacteriological survey indicate excellent
water quality for Area G -1. The shoreline survey revealed a
docking facility requiring closure to shellfishing ' in
accordance with the N.C. Rules Governing the Sanitation of
E

Shellfish, .1411 Marinas, Docking Facilities, Other Mooring
Areas. Lowland Seafood, a commercial fishing operation, has
general dockage that can accommodate more than 10 boats.
Recommendation has been made to the Division of Marine
Fisheries for closure of 50 acres in Eastham Creek. (See
Exhibit V for proclamations and prohibited area maps.) This
closure includes all waters in and around and upstream of
Lowland Seafood. Sampling Station #6 located at the mouth of
Eastham Creek had satisfactory results but, no other samples
were collected upstream of the mouth. Additional stations
have been established in Eastham Creek upstream of the docking
facility. The area will remain closed until additional
sampling results are obtained.
Satisfactory bacteriological results in the North Creek area
indicated the area could be reopened to shellfishing.
Recommendation has been made to the Division of Marine
Fisheries to reopen 550 acres in North Creek, Ross Creek and
Bailey Creek. (See Exhibit V for proclamations and prohibited
area maps.) Upper North Creek was not reopened and until
additional samples are collected upstream of Station #16,
located at the mouth, the area will remain closed.
No other changes are recommended in this area at this time.

REPORT OF SANITARY SURVEY
GOOSE CREEK AREA
G -1
By
SHELLFISH SANITATION BRANCH
NORTH CAROLINA DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
I. INTRODUCTION
Area G -1 consists of that portion of the Pamlico
River from Cousin Point to Wades Point on the north shore
and from Hickory Point to Fulford Point on the south
shore. Included in this area are the waters and
tributaries in Goose Creek, north of the Hobucken Bridge
and all waters and tributaries of North Creek. There are
approximately 17,000 acres of water in this area. (See
Exhibit I for map of the area.)
This area is sparsely populated with approximately
300 permanent inhabitants. There are no major pollution
sources in the area. Agriculture, silviculture, and
commercial fishing are the major industries of the area.
The town of Aurora and the city of Washington
discharge treated effluents into South Creek and the
Pamlico River respectively, but the distance upstream
from the waters of Area G -1 make them insignificant to
overall water quality in this portion of the Pamlico
River.

The area has little significance as a shellfish
growing area. The only clams found in the area are of
the Rangia variety and are not commercially harvested as
a food source. Some oyster production is noted in Goose
Creek and North Creek but has little if any commercial
value.
II. SHORELINE SURVEY OF SOURCES OF POLLUTION
A shoreline survey for area G -1 was completed
September 21, 1994. G -1 consists of a section of the
Pamlico River and two tributaries, North Creek and Goose
Creek. The population estimate for this rural area is
300.
No major pollution sources exist in this area since
the Hobucken Coast Guard Station removed the wastewater
discharge in 1991. The wastewater that discharged into
the ICWW is now pumped to a subsurface low pressure pipe
system in front of the Coast Guard Station. Recent
improvements at the wastewater treatment plant are alarm
systems on the lift stations and UV light for
disinfection.
The Coast Guard Station has a containment system
surrounding the above ground fuel tanks. Another
building has been added to store new and used lubricants.
A secondary containment system is provided for oil spills
that may occur in the building.
E

There are three new residential subdivisions being
developed by the Weyerhaeuser Paper Company in the Goose
Creek Area. All three developments appear to be in low
lying areas with lot sizes ranging from 1 to 15 acres.
On -site septic systems will be used for wastewater
disposal. The subdivisions are listed in the following
table:

marina.
There are four seafood operations in Area G -1 that
may contribute to pollution in the nearby waters because
of the general dockage of commercial and pleasure boats.
These areas can also be sources of fecal contamination
from sea gulls that are attracted to discarded fish
remains (See Exhibit II for locations of seafood
operations.)
3

Lowland Seafood still does not have a recovery
system or retaining walls around the above ground fuel
tanks that are near the water.
Pamlico Beach and Wade Point are mostly seasonal
communities with about 30 permanent residences. Both
communities have private and community dockage. North
Creek Marina is the only commercial marina in the area.
Septic systems along the tributaries may not
function very well during the wet winter months when the
soils are saturated. However, septic systems are not
considered a major pollution source because of the sparse
population. The septic system violations found during
the last shoreline survey have been corrected.
Wildlife and waterfowl are abundant in this remote
section of the Pamlico River.
Runoff from cropland and forest clear cuts probably
have the most impact on the water quality.
III. EVALUATION OF HYDROGRAPHIC FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
SPREAD OF POLLUTION
Tides in this portion of the Pamlico River are
influenced by prevailing winds and no additional
hydrographic studies are needed. Salinity readings
collected during this survey varied from a low of 2 parts
per thousand (ppt) to a high of 24 ppt (See Exhibit III
for sampling data by station.)
51

IV. BACTERIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF SHELLFISH GROWING WATERS
The bacteriological survey was begun in February,
1992, and concluded in October, 1994. During the survey
15 sets of samples were collected from 18 stations
located throughout the area. A total of 270 water
samples were collected and examined for fecal coliform
bacteria. (See Exhibit I for map with station locations
and Exhibit IV for bacteriological results.) Results are
much like they have been on previous surveys. All
stations meet approved area criteria. The results from
station #16 indicate that at least a portion of the
closed waters in North Creek can be re- opened to
shellfishing, however, additional samples will need to be
added to the creek to establish a new boundary line.
V. SUMMARY AND RESULTANT AREA CLASSIFICATION
Bacteriological water quality remains good
throughout the area. ( See Exhibit V for Summary of
Bacteriological Data Analysis.) The shoreline survey
indicates no major pollution sources. It is therefore
recommended that no changes be made in growing area
classification at this time. (See Exhibit VI for closed
area map.)
