Description of threat 



3 



Disturbance from clearing adjacent uplands and 





replanting in pines; possible industrial 





development. 







Management recommendations: 



(1) Public access to the impoundment should continue to be 

 restricted during the spring nesting season of the birds 

 breeding in the Sandhills Creek rookery; 



(2) A buffer zone of some undetermined width should be maintained 

 surrounding the creek drainage basin, to ensure the protec- 

 tion of water quality and preclude siltation and pollution 

 from construction or silvicultural practices.
