Stoney Creek: 03020202010021 This Stoney Creek HU is also small containing only 4.4 square miles of land area. There are only eight miles of stream in the watershed over half of which lack buffers. Twenty-seven percent of streams are 303(d)-listed here. Fifteen percent of the watershed exists as forest or wetlands. Sixty-four percent of soils are hydric here. Seventy-two percent of the area is developed accounting for 20% impervious surface, primarily in the City of Goldsboro. The entire watershed is subject to Phase II stormwater regulations. Despite these issues, there is still 1.8 square miles of land conserved by the Seymour-Johnson Air Force Base. Priorities for this part of Stoney Creek are outlined in the LWP (Local Watershed Plan Fact Sheet). Neuse River Basin Restoration Priorities 2010 48
