Modeling Developments
(Hydrodynamic model)
1. Moved model boundary for NECF up to
Burgaw monitoring station
2. Created flow boundary conditions for
2003-2005 for Black and NECF using
station pairs (Tomahawk and Currie,
Chinquapin and Burgaw)
3. Created calibration database of all
available hydrodynamic data (DWQ
Ambient, LCFRP, special study, USGS)
![Page 7: Lower Cape Fear River Estuary Model Progress Report](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050207/626e049728c227574713a952/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
More model developments (Hydro)
4. Created scripts and monitoring data filesto compare long-term daily and short-termhourly hydrodynamic data
5. Created new shortwave solar radiation fileusing observed to replace data estimatedfrom meteorological forcings
6. Delineated NECF watersheds in estuary toimprove placement of freshwater loadings
![Page 8: Lower Cape Fear River Estuary Model Progress Report](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050207/626e049728c227574713a952/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
1. Added new cells to extend model
to Burgaw monitoring station
• 950 horizontal cells in old grid, 1004 cellsin new grid
• 8 vertical layers
• Average cell dx = 300 m, dy = 400 m
• Separate cells for channel and adjoiningmarshes
• ** show grids w/Google Earth
![Page 9: Lower Cape Fear River Estuary Model Progress Report](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050207/626e049728c227574713a952/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
2. Created new Black R. and
NECF R. flow boundary
conditions• Needed flows at model boundary for Black
and NECF rivers
• Had two stations in each watershed for
approximately one year
• Used lagged and scaled flows (@
Tomahawk, Chinquapin) to estimate
missing data for model boundaries
![Page 10: Lower Cape Fear River Estuary Model Progress Report](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050207/626e049728c227574713a952/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Flows at Burgaw
• High flow event from Hurricane Charlie seen Q3,2004
![Page 11: Lower Cape Fear River Estuary Model Progress Report](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050207/626e049728c227574713a952/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
5. Created new short-wave solar
radiation file• Had previously used estimated short-wave solar
using met data (cloud cover, day of year) forestimation
• Previous data set produced overpredictions oftemperature during summer
• Discovered a Wilmington short wave data setexisted from NWS
• Found these data gave much improvedtemperature predictions
![Page 12: Lower Cape Fear River Estuary Model Progress Report](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050207/626e049728c227574713a952/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Example temperature time series
• Predicted temps near 40 deg C much higher thanobservations
![Page 13: Lower Cape Fear River Estuary Model Progress Report](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050207/626e049728c227574713a952/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
6. Added new freshwater sources
for NECF, Black, Cape Fear
• Area between Burgaw and mouth of NECF
includes a signficant portion of watershed
drainage area (approx. 10% of total)
• Need to add additional water inputs to correctly
account for location of freshwater inputs
• Also made corrections for Black and Cape Fear
Rivers (show w/ google earth)
• Estimated flows by scaling NECF flows at
Burgaw

Hydrodynamic Calibration -
Summary
• Calibration essentially complete
• Excellent agreement w/ temperature and
salinity
• Elevation agreement (not shown) still needs
some work to get predicted tidal amplitude
attenuation to match observed attenuation

More Model Developments
(Water Quality Model)
1. Reviewed long-term BOD data to
determine organic matter decay rates
2. Created new point source load files w/
additional NECF sources and variable
organic matter decay rates

Long-term BOD measurements,
data sources
1. IP long-term BOD tests (BOD vs. time)
2. Wilmington long-term tests (BOD vs.
time)
3. DWQ special study data (BOD30/BOD5
ratio)
4. LCFRP data (BOD20/BOD5 ration,

IP and Wilmington long-term
BOD measurements
• Multiple measurements, BOD exerted vs.

• Have BOD 5 + BOD20 or BOD30 data
• Have multiple times and locations
• Use ratio of BOD’s to determine BOD
decay rates

BOD exerted for 2 decay rates
Ratio decreases as k increases

BOD30/BOD5 ratio
Given BOD30/BOD5 ratio, k can be found
from curve

LCFRP data
• Based on July ‘02 - June ‘03 monthly data at 3boundary stations (NC11, B210, NCF117) = 36measurements w/ BOD5 and BOD20
• Mean = 0.054 day-1
• Expect to get additional data for later years

DWQ Special Study Data
• 7 stations, 2 measurements during July 2004
• BOD 30 and BOD 5 measurements
• Use BOD30/BOD5 ratio to determine K
(data not shown)
Average k = 0.07 day-1
Standard deviation = 0.01 day-1

Long-term BOD data - summary
• IP WW has lowest decay rate (0.03 day-1)
• River water has intermediate decay rates
(0.05 - 0.07 day-1)
• Wilmington WWTP decay rates quite
variable (0.05 - 0.13 day-1)
• Using two DOC types, labile (k = 0.1 day)
and refractory (k = 0.03 day)
• Most sources will have some of both labile
and refractory

Upcoming Work
• Finish assigning decay rates and redefining loadsonce additional BOD data are available
• Work on incorporating SOD data in a moredetailed way
• Do additional model/data comparisons w/ DWQspecial study data
• Plan to finish water quality calibration by end ofSeptember and begin to consider how to doscenario tests
