Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 9, 2021 / Rules and Regulations of the physical or biological features essential for the conservation of the species.
Special management considerations or protection may be required within this unit to address a variety of threats.
Four stream reaches totaling approximately 17 miles are impaired in the Little River. The designation of impairment is based primarily on low 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 13: NR5bMill Creek Unit 13 is a 20.8-mi 33.5-km segment of Mill Creek from upstream of US701 downstream to the confluence with the Neuse River located in Johnston and Wayne Counties. The riparian land adjacent to this unit is predominantly privately owned 95
percent with some conservation parcels 5 percent. This unit contains all of the physical or biological features essential for the conservation of the species.
Special management considerations or protection may be required to address excess sediment and pollutants that enter the creek and serve as indicators of other forms of pollution such as bacteria and toxins, reducing water quality for the species. Special management focused on use of agricultural and forestry BMPs, implementation of highest levels of treatment of wastewater practicable, maintenance of forested buffers, and connection of protected riparian corridors will benefit habitat for the species in this unit.

Special management considerations or protection may be required within this unit to address a variety of threats.
Large quantities of nutrients especially nitrogen contributed by fertilizers and animal waste washed from lawns, urban developed areas, farm fields, and animal operations are impacting aquatic ecosystems in this unit. More than 300
permitted point-source sites discharge wastewater into streams and rivers in the basin. Development is also impacting areas along the Middle Neuse River. Special management focused on use of agricultural and forestry BMPs, implementation of highest levels of treatment of wastewater practicable, maintenance of forested buffers, and connection of protected riparian corridors will benefit habitat for the species in this unit.

this unit is nearly all privately owned 99 percent with some conservation parcels 1 percent. This unit contains all of the physical or biological features essential for the conservation of the species.

Unit 15: NR6Contentnea Creek/Lower Neuse River Subbasin Unit 15 is an approximately 114.8-mi 184.8-km reach, including Contentnea Creek from NC581 downstream to its confluence with the Neuse River, Nahunta Swamp from the Wayne/
Greene County line to the confluence with Contentnea Creek, and the Neuse River from the confluence with Contentnea Creek to the confluence with Pinetree Creek, located in Greene, Wilson, Wayne, Lenoir, Pitt, and Craven Counties. The riparian land adjacent to this unit is nearly all privately owned land 99 percent, with <1 percent conservation parcels. This unit contains all of the physical or biological features essential for the conservation of the species.
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, with 55 impaired stream miles in the entire unit. The designation of impairment is based primarily on low benthicmacroinvertebrate assessment scores, low pH, and low dissolved oxygen.
There are 9 major and 195 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.
