9.0 Impacts of Hurricane Bonnie on Water Quality and Benthos in the Cape
Fear Watershed
Tables
9.1 Light attenuation k
values at Cape fear River and Estuary station one week
after Hurricane Bonnie,
compared with long-term values
9.2 Comparison of
post-Hurricane Bonnie biochemical oxygen demand (mg/L) with long-term
(1996-1999) averages at
stations in the Cape Fear, Black, and Northeast Cape fear Rivers
9.3 Maximum nutrient
concentrations recorded at Northeast Cape Fear and Black river stations after Bonnie
9.4 Comparison of long-term
(1995-1999) geometric mean fecal coliform bacterial counts with counts after Bonnie
9.5 Post-Hurricane
Bonnie drainage from an underdeveloped coastal plain watershed compared with a coastal
plain watershed
containing extensive concentrated animal operations
9.6 Total infaunal
abundance at four Cape Fear Estuary stations, before and after Bonnie
Figures
9.1 Summer-fall dissolved oxygen levels at four estuarine stations
9.2 Daily surface dissolved oxygen concentrations at NCF117 September
11-28, 1998
9.3 Monthly dissolved oxygen concentrations in the three main channels
of the Cape Fear River system
