Little Creek: 03020201110050 The Little Creek watershed covers 18 square miles with 36 miles of streams (39% unbuffered). One-quarter of the streams here are listed on the state’s impaired waters 303(d) list. Thirty-six percent of the HU is forested. A significant portion of the watershed is occupied by western Clayton, accounting for an average of 6% imperviousness. Forty percent of the Little Creek watershed is used for agriculture with nine permitted animal operations. Highest priority projects here address the impacts of agriculture or reestablish degraded buffers. Stormwater BMPs are important in localized areas in Clayton where they can reduce inputs in storm runoff. Neuse River Basin Restoration Priorities 2010 36

There are 147 miles of stream here and about 1% open water land cover. One-third of streams are unbuffered. Forty-six percent of land is forested or in wetlands (13.5% hydric type B soils). Twenty-four NHEOs have been documented in the watershed. There are 19 permitted animals operations here and 28% of the land is used for agriculture. One-quarter of the area is developed with 5.2% imperviousness. Twelve square miles are subject to stormwater regulation. DOT has programmed 3.5 miles of TIP projects. There are two agricultural BMPs and one WRC project constructed here. Stormwater management projects are a priority here, especially in the vicinity of Holly Springs and Fuquay-Varina.
