benthic-macroinvertebrate assessment scores, low pH, and low dissolved oxygen. There are 32 non-major and no major NPDES discharges in this unit.
Special management considerations in this unit include retrofitting stormwater systems, eliminating direct stormwater discharges, increasing and protecting existing open space, and maintaining connected riparian corridors.
Unit 6: NR3Contentnea Creek Unit 6 consists of approximately 15
mi 24 km of Contentnea Creek from Buckhorn Reservoir to Wiggins Mill Reservoir, located in Wilson County.
This unit is occupied by the species, and contains all of the physical or biological features essential for the conservation of the species. The riparian land adjacent to this unit is entirely privately owned.
Special management considerations or protection may be required within this unit to address a variety of threats.
Two stream reaches totaling approximately 21 miles are impaired in Contentnea Creek. The designation of impairment is based primarily on low benthic-macroinvertebrate assessment scores. There are 3 major and 77 non-
major NPDES discharges in this unit.
Special management considerations in this unit include retrofitting stormwater systems, eliminating direct stormwater discharges, increasing and protecting existing open space, and maintaining connected riparian corridors.
Trent Population Unit 7: TR1Trent River Unit 7 consists of approximately 15
mi 24 km of the Trent River between the confluence with Cypress Creek and Beaver Creek, in Jones County. This unit is unoccupied by the species. The last known documentation of the species here was in 1986. Although it is unoccupied, this unit does contain all of the physical or biological features essential for the conservation of the species. This unit itself is essential for the conservation of the species because it will provide for population expansion through propagation and reintroduction, and will provide for resiliency in portions of known historical habitat that is necessary to increase the viability resiliency, redundancy, and representation of the species. All of the riparian land adjacent to this unit is privately owned.
Neuse River Waterdog We are designating approximately 779
miles 1,254 kilometers in 18 units in North Carolina as critical habitat for the Neuse River waterdog. The critical habitat areas described below constitute our current best assessment of areas that meet the definition of critical habitat, and all units are considered currently occupied by the species. Those 18 units are: 1 Upper Tar River, 2 Upper Fishing Creek, 3 Bens Creek, 4
Fishing Creek Subbasin, 5 Sandy/Swift Creek, 6 Middle Tar River Subbasin, 7 Lower Tar River Subbasin, 8 Eno River, 9 Flat River, 10 Middle Creek, 11 Swift Creek, 12 Little River, 13
Mill Creek, 14 Middle Neuse River, 15 Contentnea Creek/Lower Neuse River Subbasin, 16 Swift Creek Lower Neuse, 17 Trent River, and 18
Tuckahoe Swamp. Table 6 shows the name, land ownership of the riparian areas surrounding the units, and approximate river miles of the designated units for the Neuse River waterdog. Where appropriate, Table 6
also notes the previous number for units for which the numbering has changed.
