White Oak Staff Contacts Robin Hoffman Staff Lead, White Oak Basin(919) 707-9114 Nora Deamer Nutrients & Water Quality(919) 707-9116 White Oak Basinwide Water Quality Plans 2021 White Oak Basin Plan The 2021 White Oak River Basin Water Resources Plan (basin plan) is the fourth document to be developed for the White Oak River basin. The basin plan includes eight chapters and several appendices that explore water quality and water quantity issues in the basin. Executive Summary Chapter 1: Overview Provides basic information about land use and population, nonpoint source pollution (agriculture, forestry, stormwater) and basin characteristic (aquatic habitat, wetland functions, etc.) Chapter 2: Monitoring Data and Water Quality Reviews how chemical, physical and biological parameters are used to assess water quality in North Carolina and overall data results for monitoring stations in the White Oak River basin. Chapters 3, 4, and 5: Watershed Chapters and Shellfish Harvesting Provides detailed information at the watershed scale. Individual stream assessments, special studies, information related to water use and specific projects in the watersheds are included. Chapter 3: White Oak River (Northeast) HUC 03020301 (Includes White Oak River, Newport River, North River, Bogue Sound, Calico Creek, Jarrett Bay) Appendix III: Permit Tables & Algal Blooms Chapter 4: New River (Southwest) HUC 03020302 (Includes New River, Brinson Creek, Northeast Creek, Masonboro Inlet) Appendix IV: Permit Tables & Algal Blooms Chapter 5: Shellfish Harvesting Chapter 6: Water Quality Initiatives & Funding Opportunities Explores various options for protecting water resources and includes information as it relates to local initiatives, watershed planning and funding opportunities. Chapter 7: Permitted and Registered Activities Contains general information about existing programs that protect water resources. Examples include National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and non-discharge wastewater management, stormwater programs, public water supply systems, and animal feeding operations. Permit tables can be found in Appendix VII. Chapter 8: Water Use in the White Oak River Basin Provides a summary of water use in the basin and includes information publicly available through the Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area (CCPCUA), Local Water Supply Plans (LWSP), the Water Withdrawal and Transfer Registration (WWATR) database, and the Ground Water Management Branch (GWMB). It also includes information about agriculture water use as reported in the 2018 Agricultural Water Use Survey published by NCDA&CS. Reported and projected demands along with available supply as reported to the various programs are included in Appendix VIII. 2007 White Oak Basin Plan 2007 White Oak River Basinwide Water Quality Plan Entire Document Plan By Chapter Table of Content Executive Summary Introduction Water Quality Data & Information By Subbasin Chapter 1 - White Oak Subbasin 03-05-01 Chapter 2 - White Oak River Subbasin 03-05-02 Chapter 3 - White Oak River Subbasin 03-05-03 Chapter 4 - White Oak River Subbasin 03-05-04 Chapter 5 - White Oak River Subbasin 03-05-05 General Basin Information Chapter 6 - North Carolina Water Quality Classifications and Standards Chapter 7 - Water Quality Stressors and Sources of Impairment in the White Oak River Basin Chapter 8 - Stormwater and Wastewater Management for Improved Water Quality in Coastal Communities Chapter 9 - Changes in Our Coastal Communities -Population Growth, Development and Water Quality Chapter 10 - Water Quality Management Strategies for Coastal Waters Chapter 11 - Agriculture and Water Quality Chapter 12 - Forestry in the White Oak River Basin Chapter 13 - Water Resources Chapter 14 - Natural Resources Chapter 15 - Water Quality Initiatives Chapter 16 - North Carolina’s Impaired Waters List References Appendices Appendix I - DWQ Water Quality Monitoring Programs in the White Oak River Basin Appendix II - NPDES Discharges and General Stormwater Permits Appendix III - White Oak River Basin Nonpoint Source Program Description and Contacts Appendix IV - Use Support Methodology and Use Support Ratings Appendix V - Glossary of Terms and Acronyms 2001 White Oak Basin Plan 2001 White Oak River Basinwide Water Quality Plan Entire Plan Plan By Chapter Table of Content Executive Summary Section A - General Basinwide Information Chapter 1 - Introduction to Basinwide Water Quality Planning Chapter 2 - White Oak River Basin Overview Chapter 3 - Summary of Water Quality Information for the White Oak River Basin Chapter 4 - Water Quality Issues Related to Multiple Watersheds in the White Oak River Basin Section B - Water Quality Data and Information by Subbasin Chapter 1 - White Oak River Subbasin 03-05-01 Chapter 2 - White Oak River Subbasin 03-05-02 Chapter 3 - White Oak River Subbasin 03-05-03 Chapter 4 - White Oak River Subbasin 03-05-04 Chapter 5 - White Oak River Subbasin 03-05-05 Section C - Current and Future Water Quality Initiatives Chapter 1 - Current Water Quality Initiatives Chapter 2 - Future Water Quality Initiatives Appendices Appendix I - NPDES Dischargers in the White Oak River Basin Appendix II - Water Quality Data Collected by DWQ (Benthic Macroinvertebrate Collections) Appendix III - Use Support Methodology and Use Support Ratings Appendix IV - 303(d) Listing and Reporting Methodology Appendix V - White Oak River Basin Workshop Summaries Appendix VI - White Oak River Basin Nonpoint Source Program Description and Contacts Appendix VII - Glossary of Terms and Acronyms 1997 White Oak Basin Plan 1997 White Oak Basinwide Water Quality Plan White Oak Basin Mailing List To subscribe to DWR's White Oak River Basin email list to receive emails regarding public comment periods and public meetings related to the basin, please fill out the form below.
