<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Figure 18. (A) Nitrogen and (B) phosphorus yields at selected sites in floodwaters from Hurricanes Floyd <br />(1999) and Fran (1996). <br /> <br />near Fort Barnwell (site 32-the site with the <br />greatest total nitrogen load; fig. 15), the yield for <br />the two basins was approximately the same (fig. 18A). <br />The yield for the Pamlico River at Washington (site <br />18) was calculated, based on monthly data, at 0.81 <br />tons/mi2 in September and 0.28 tons/mi2 in October. <br />Nitrogen yields resulting from Hurricane Floyd <br />were similar to those resulting from Hurricane <br /> <br />Two Months of Flooding in Eastern Nonh Carolina, Septcmber-October 1999 <br /> <br />Fran in the Neuse and Cape Fear Basins (fig. l8A), <br />However, the nitrogen yield for the Tar River at <br />Tarboro (site 14) was 0.80 tons/mi2 in Hurricane <br />Floyd floodwaters compared to 0.27 tons/mi2 in <br />floodwaters from Hurricane Fran, which is a result <br />of much more widespread flooding in the Tar River <br />Basin after Hurricane Floyd than after Hurricane <br />Fran. <br />
