Staff of the Division of Water Quality have reviewed the modified stormwater management plan submitted
by your engineer (Peter D. Cnossen, Jones and Cnossen Engineering, PLLC) dated May 6, 2004 (received
May 12, 2004). This plan satisfies the condition of the 401 Water Quality Certification issued to you on
February 10, 2004. As stated in that Certification, this stormwater management facility must be constructed
and operational and the stormwater management plan implemented. All other conditions of the
Certification are still applicable and must be followed.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean
Water Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-9646 or Cynthia Van
Der Wiele at 919.715-3473.

• Maximum Q10 discharge of 1 cfs per 100 feet of level spreader for forested areas and 1 cfs per 13 feet of level
spreader for grass or thick ground cover
In some instances, because of topography, the size and imperviousness of the drainage area, or other site constraints,
conventional level spreader designs are not appropriate. However, there are alternative designs, like the ones listed
below, that would allow a level spreader to function properly by bypassing the larger discharge events. This is based on
the assumption used in designing most water quality BMPs that the "first flush" of stormwater discharge contains the
most substances of concern. These other alternatives are "allowable (require written approval from DWQ)" for protected
buffers in the Neuse, Tar-Pamlico and Catawba basins, but would not be allowable in protected buffers of the Randleman
watershed.
Level spreader with bypass for larger drainage areas that require 85% TSS removal or where lateral constraints limit the
level spreader length severely:
• Dry detention basin designed per NCDENR Stormwater BMP Manual` sized to detain 1" rain and release it over 2-5
days" through a level spreader.
• Level spreader length based on the maximum release rate discharge
• Discharges from greater than a 1" rain can be bypassed via an appropriate conveyance such as a grassed swale (rip
rap lined ditch or pipe may be used if necessary)
• Maximum discharge of 1 cfs per 100 feet of level spreader for forested areas and 1 cfs per 13 feet of level spreader
for grass or thick ground cover
in order to meet 85% TSS Removal criteria)
Another bypass alternative can be used that would not be considered to remove 85% TSS:
• Detention basin such as a type B silt basin preceding the level spreader
• Level spreader length based on the 1" per hour intensity storm
• A system designed to bypass the greater than 1" in per hour intensity storm through an appropriate conveyance such
as a grassed swale (rip rap lined ditch or pipe may be used if necessary)
• Maximum discharge of 1 cfs per 100 feet of level spreader for forested areas and 1 cfs per 13 feet of level spreader
for grass or thick ground cover
Yet another design that can be used in very specific areas with virtually flat slopes is a Preformed Scour Hole with a Level
Spreader Apron (typical detail attached):
• Discharge area must have virtually flat slopes such as those in flood plains or wetlands
• Must be located outside of zone 2
• B = 3 x discharge pipe size for pipes of either 15 or 18 inches B= base width (see detail)
• Maximum allowable discharge (Q10) of 6 cfs for a 15 inch pipe and 10 cfs for an 18 inch pipe
• Minimum apron width of 4 feet.
Any of the above options will be considered acceptable if designed in accordance with the outlined criteria. Please keep in
mind that some of the above practices may still require written approval, for instance when a direct bypass discharge is
proposed through a protected buffer in the Neuse or Tar-Pamlico River Basin.

Draft Level Spreader Design Options Version 1.0 October 10, 2001
Using Level Spreaders to Provide Diffuse Flow Through Buffers for Compliance with Riparian Area Protection Rules
Level spreaders are one means of providing diffuse flow through protected buffers. It is always preferable to not
concentrate stormwater initially and provide as many outfalls as possible. This can reduce or even eliminate the need for
engineered devices to provide diffuse flow. However, this is not feasible in many cases. Some buffer protection rules such
as the Neuse, Catawba, and Tar-Pamlico Riparian Area Protection Rules do not allow direct discharges of stormwater
through the protected buffers. However, it is "allowable" with written approval from the DWQ to provide best management
practices (BMPs) that remove the nutrients or pollutants in question in order to discharge directly through the buffer.
These measures could include the use of the buffer itself as a forested filter strip, for instance, to remove the desired
substances. In addition to providing diffuse flow, level spreaders can be used to distribute flow into filter strips.
There are certain criteria that apply to every design that utilizes level spreaders to provide diffuse flow:
1) The entire system must safely pass a 10 year storm event without failing or causing erosion, gullies or rills.
2) The design of the level spreader must take into consideration site specific conditions such as topography, vegetative
cover, soil and other geologic conditions. If diffused flow is not attainable based on site conditions they should not be
used. (i.e. the slope of the natural ground away from or parallel to the level spreader should be relatively smooth in
the direction toward the stream so that the flow will not reconcentrate.)
3) Level spreaders should have a minimum length of ten feet and an absolute, maximum length of 300 feet.
4) It is always easier to keep flow distributed than to redistribute it after collection.
5) The type and amount of vegetative ground cover must also be considered.
6) Level spreaders must be level.
Level Spreader Design Options:
Conventional level spreader design option where entire discharge is passed through the level spreader with
no bypass conveyance for larger storms:
• For grass or thick ground cover vegetation:
i)13 feet of level spreader for every 1 cfs flow (Based on Q10 discharge)
ii) maximum length of 300 feet per level spreader
iii) Slopes of 8% or less from level spreader to top of stream bank
• For forested areas with little or no ground cover vegetation:
i) 100 feet of level spreader for every 1 cfs flow (Based on Q10 discharge)
ii) maximum length of 300 feet per level spreader
iii) slopes of 6% or less from level spreader to top of stream bank
Another conventional level spreader design technique that can be used to accommodate steeper slopes where grading is
allowed or exempt in zone 2 of protected buffers is to provide level spreaders in series as follows:
• Can be used on slopes of up to 15% for forested areas and 25% for grass or thick ground cover
• Structural level spreader just outside of zone 2 followed by a grassed berm level spreader just outside of zone 1

In accordance with Condition 2 of the approved 401 Permit for Riverbrooke II, I am herein
submitting a Stormwater Plan for your records. Per this condition, stormwatcr facilities are
required to convey concentrated flows to non-erosive velocities at the outlet structures. For this
purpose, we have provided either level spreaders or performed scour holes at the outlet structures
as shown on Sheets 2 and 3. These devices were sized using the DWQ guidelines presented for
level spreaders. The design information is provided on Sheets 2 and 3 of the Stormwater Plan.
If you have any questions with regard to the stormwater plan or require any additional
information, please call me at your earliest convenience.

Dear Mr. Dorney:
This letter is in response to your letter dated November 26, 2003 (copy attached), which
requested additional information for the proposed Riverbrooke II Subdivision. 'fhe
attached project map is on a large sheet with a 1:100 scale. The following restates your
questions as shown on your letter and then provides our response.
1. Please provide the location of any proposed stormtivater Management practices as
required.
As per Item 4 in the "Conditions of Certification" for WQC #3402, a stonnwater
management plan is only required for sites that have greater than 30% impervious
surface cover. Because this site will have an impervious surface cover of 21.1 % (see
calculations on the attached 1:100 scale site snap) no stromwater management plan
should be required.
2. Please provide detail for the stornnvater management practices as required.
See the above response for 1.
3. Please indicate all stornnvater oufalls on the site plan.
All currently proposed stormwater outfalls are shown on the attached map for the
proposed project.

RE: Nationwide Permit 39 and Buffer Compliance WETLANDS/ 401 GROUP
Riverbrooke II Subdivision
Garner, Wake County, North Carolina
NOV 0 7 2003
Dear Mrs. Burdette and Mr. Dorney:
WATER QUALITY SECTION
Marlowe & Maye, LLC (project engineer), requests authorization from the US Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) to use Nationwide Permit 39 for proposed permanent impacts to an
intermittent stream and the associated riparian buffers in two locations and two jurisdictional
wetland areas resulting from road crossings. In addition, we request written concurrence from
the North Carolina Division of Water Quality that the project complies with the Neuse Buffer
Rules and the 401 Water Quality Certifications associated with NWP 39. A Pre-construction
Notification Application (PCN) is attached, which includes an Agent Authorization form.
The site is ± 45.31 acres in size and is located approximately 0.7 miles southeast of the
intersection of Rock Quarry Road (SR 2542) and Highway 40. Please refer to the attached map
for the project's location on Garner, North Carolina USGS topographic quadrangle.
The purpose of this project is to construct a residential subdivision that will meet the demand for
housing in this area. Proposed impacts resulting from three road crossings will total 137 linear
feet of intermittent stream, 10,325 square feet to Zone 1 and 6,775 square feet to Zone 2 of Neuse
River Buffers, and 0.1209 acres of jurisdictional wetlands.
S&EC, P.A. conducted a detailed wetland delineation and Neuse River Buffer evaluation on the
site property in July 2003. In June 2003 Ms. Debbie Edwards of the NC-DWQ visited the site to
determine the starting point of riparian buffers. A copy of Ms. Edwards buffer determination
letter is included as an attachment (NBRRO 03-210). A jurisdictional determination has not been
conducted on the site.
Buffer Compliance (Impacts 1 & 2)
Two residential road crossings are proposed, labeled Impacts 1 and 2 on the attached impact
maps. These roads will cross an intermittent stream in two separate locations in order to gain
access to otherwise inaccessible portions of the property. Impact 1 will impact 7,250 square feet
(Zone 1-4,425 sq. ft. / Zone 2-2,825 sq. ft.) of riparian buffers. Impact 2 will impact 9,850 square
feet (Zone 1-5,900 sq.ft. / Zone 2-3,950 sq. ft.) of riparian buffers. Appropriate erosion and
siltation control devices will be used during construction of the road crossings and headwalls will
be installed to further minimize impacts.
November 4, 2003
Riverbrooke II Subdivision Permit
Page 2 of 2
Nationwide Permit 39
An unnamed tributary to Big Branch Creek bisects the eastern and central portions of the property
from north to south. In order to access contiguous portions of the property it will be necessary to
cross an intermittent stream channel in two separate locations (Impacts 1 & 2), impacting 137
linear feet of stream. In addition, portions of two jurisdictional wetland areas will need to be
filled in order to construct road crossings (Impacts 1 & 3). In order to minimize impacts,
headwalls will be installed on either side of the proposed roadways. Appropriate erosion and
siltation controls will be implemented during construction. This project will comply with the
general and regional conditions of NWP 39
The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and stream
channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and may require compensatory mitigation to
offset unavoidable impacts to important streams or greater than 1/10 of and acre of wetlands. In
an attempt to minimize impacts, we propose the use of headwalls and will cross the channels
perpendicularly. In addition, the majority of the southern portion of the property, approximately
14.33 acres, is a flooded impoundment and will not be disturbed. Approximately V2-acre of
upland, located along a linear wetland feature, will be set aside as open space. Typically, impacts
to unimportant intermittent stream channels do not require mitigation; therefore, we do not
believe mitigation should be required by the USACE for this project. If for some reason
mitigation is required, payment to the NC-WRP is proposed.
NC-DWQ's current policy requires mitigation for intermittent and perennial stream impacts, in a
buffered basin, of greater then 150 linear feet per project. There are only 137 linear feet of
proposed intermittent stream impacts, therefore, mitigation is not proposed. DWQ also requires
riparian buffer mitigation for stream crossings resulting in greater than one-third of an acre of
impacts per crossing. Because each proposed stream-crossing results in less than one-third of an
acre of buffer impacts, no buffer mitigation is proposed.

draw-down valve or spillway, etc.):-
NA-Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.):-NA
Size of watershed draining to pond:-NA Expected pond surface area:-NA
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The applicant requested a detailed wetland delineation and Neuse Buffer evaluation of streams
on-site prior to site plan development in order to determine the extent and location of wetlands
and jurisdictional waters Although jurisdictional areas were avoided to the maximum extent
practical an unnamed tributary to Big Branch Creek bisects the eastern and central portions of
the property from north to south making it necessary to construct a road crossing over the
channel at two locations in order to access contiguous portions of the property. At both channel
crossings the applicant plans to cross the channel at a perpendicular angle in order to minimize
impact to the stream and riparian buffer. Two wetland areas exist within two of the proposed
road crossings (Impacts I & 3) A portion of these wetlands will need to be filled in order to
construct the roads.
Page 5 of 9
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
littp://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/stnngide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
Jurisdictional areas have been avoided to the maximum extent practicable Impacts to the
intermittent stream will be minimized by using headwalls and crossing at perpendicular
angles. We believe this stream to be unimportant/intermittent Typically, reasonable impacts
to intermittent streams do not require mitigation. Wetland impacts on the site are sli htl
above the 1/10-acre notification threshold. We do not believe mitigation should be required.
In addition, the majority of the southern portion of the site property (14.33 acres) is a flooded
impoundment, and will be dedicated as a permanent conservation easement. Also
approximately 1/2 -acre along the linear wetland feature will be set aside as open space (see
lots 52 &71 on overall impact map).
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
Page 6 of 9
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/wm/index.htm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): NA
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): NA
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public
(federal/state) land?
Yes ? No
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No ?
If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
Yes ? No ?
X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )?
Yes ® No ? If you answered "yes", provide the following information:
Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer
mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer
multipliers.

additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone I.
If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation
of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or.0260.
NA
XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site.
Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands
downstream from the property.
The impervious area of the proposed development is less than 30%. We do not believe that a
stormwater management plan is required.
XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
Public utilities will service the proposed development.

XIII. Violations (required by DWQ)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H.0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ? No
Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes ? No
XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).

Dear Mr. Clark:
This letter will serve as confirmation of the buffer determination made by S&EC at the subject
property referenced by the Raleigh Regional Office as NBRRO 03-210.
On June 26, 2003, I conducted a site visit of features A, B and C involved in the above referenced
below flag # SOL Feature B is not subject. Feature C is subject throughout property.
project as identified on the attached maps. It was determined that the features shown on the Wake County
Soil Survey and on the USGS Garner, NC Quad map could potentially be subject to protection under the
Neuse River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy; Protection and Maintenance of
Existing Riparian Areas, Administrative Code T15A: 02B.0233 (NCAC .0233). Feature A is subject
This letter only addresses the applicability of the Neuse Buffer Rules. For information relevant

The Ultra-Amazing Standard Additional Conditions Document Version 1 - June 1, 2003
The blue wording is for your instruction and edification (i.e. don't put this in the approval, ok?). The red wording is optional lingo (don't forget to change
the color to black if used or to delete if not used). Also, please change the dollar signs to the appropriate number in the final document. The little gray
boxes need to be filled with the appropriate information. Please note the handy dandy titles that Bob inadvertently came up with should be used...
Impacts should be specifically listed and specifically referenced. This is necessary to ensure that only the impacts approved are conducted and that if
any impacts beyond those specifically approved occur it will be easier to enforce the 401 Cert./Isolated Wetland Permit/Buffer Approval. Taking this
extra bit of time now saves headaches later.
$$) Impacts Approved
? The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all of the other specific and general conditions are met. No other impacts are
approved including incidental impacts:
Amount A roved Units Plan Location or Reference
Stream feet 17
404/CAMA Wetlands acres
Waters acres
Buffers
ft.
(square
?. n 6..
Mitigation may be necessary when mitigation thresholds are exceeded or when certain buffer impacts are conducted. The USACE may require
mitigation in certain circumstances that are below our threshold requirements or for the impounded portion of streams for instance when DWQ does
not. In those cases we cannot require mitigation. However, when DWQ does require mitigation it is recommended that our requirements be similar to
the USACE's. For streams it is anticipated that DWQ will follow the USACE's Stream Mitigation Guidelines. For wetlands we typically require at least
1:1 restoration or creation. The following condition can apply to applicants that propose on site mitigation such as stream relocation where the
relocation will meet the definition of stream restoration (i.e. the activity will mitigate for its own impacts). Remember to apply the ratios to the amount
of mitigation required.
? Compensatory Mitigation
Mitigation must be provided for the proposed impacts as specified in the table below. A final compensatory mitigation plan must be approved
in writing by this Office before any of the impacts approved herein are conducted. Additionally, the compensatory mitigation plan must be
completely constructed and implemented according to the plans approved by this Office before any permanent building [road] associated
with the project is occupied [is opened]. The mitigation must be maintained according to the approved plan and permanently protected by the
use of conservation easements or similar protections. Any repairs or adjustments to the mitigation site must be made according to the
approved plan or must receive written approval from this Office to make the repairs or adjustments.
Compensatory Mitigation Required
Stream feet
Wetlands acres
Waters acres
Buffers (square feet
The following are recommended In addition to the above when on site stream mitigation, relocation or restoration Is proposed:
? Stream Relocation (Mitigation) with Approved Plans
The stream and buffer relocation must be constructed, maintained, and monitored according to the approved plans in the application and
application modifications. Any repairs or adjustments to the site must be made according to the approved plans or must receive written
approval from this Office to make the repairs or adjustments.
? In order for this project to be used as compensatory mitigation for other specific projects you must obtain written approval from this Office. The
request should include the amount of stream length and buffer area credit requested for accounting purposes. Please specify DWQ project
No. when making your request.
? Stream Relocation/Stabilization (Mitigation) that Require Additional Approved Plans
? Include bold line material
Before any of the impacts authorized in this Certification occur, you must provide and receive written approval from this Office for a final
stream relocation and/or stabilization plan. The plan must include designs and specifications that meet the definition of stream restoration (or
enhancement in no relocation is proposed) according to the latest version of the Internal Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina
(available at http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html). The stream and buffer relocation must be constructed, maintained, and
monitored according to the plans approved by this Office. Any repairs or adjustments to the site must be made according to the approved
plans or must receive written approval from this Office to make the repairs or adjustments. The relocated stream must be preserved in
perpetuity by use of a conservation easement or other similar mechanism as part of the approved plans.
The following mitigation condition can be applied when the applicant has proposed and received approval to use the WRP, EEP, or
mitigation bank. Obviously you will have to change references to the WRP If the EEP or a mitigation bank is used.
? Compensatory Mitigation Using the Wetlands Restoration Program (WRP)
Mitigation must be provided for the proposed impacts as specified in the table below. We understand that you wish to make a payment to a
fund administered by the NC Wetlands Restoration Program (WRP) to meet this mitigation requirement. This has been determined by the
A
DWQ to be a suitable method to meet the mitigation requirement. This contribution will satisfy our compensatory mitigation requirements.
Until the WRP receives and clears your check (made payable to: DENR - Wetlands Restoration Program Office), no impacts specified in this
Authorization Certificate shall occur. Mr. Ron Ferrell should be contacted at [phone] if you have any questions concerning payment
into the WRP. You have one month from the date of this approval to make this payment. For accounting purposes, this Authorization
Certificate authorizes payment Into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund to meet the following compensatory mitigation
requirement:
Compensatory Mitigation Required River and Subbasin Number
Stream feet
Wetlands acres
Waters acres
Buffers (square feet
The following condition is recommended when a stormwater management plan Is required. This typically applies to projects that are over
30% Impervious or have concentrated areas of development within a project that are over 30% impervious. It is recommended that the need
for a stormwater management plan be established prior to Issuing any approvals. The applicant should also demonstrate that there are
adequate space allotted for the proposed BMP and that a BMP appropriate to the stream classification is used (i.e. wetlands, pond with
forested filter strip, or bioretentlon In sensitive watersheds per the GC's).
? Written Stormwater Management Plan (Final Plan Needed)
An additional condition is that a final, written stormwater management plan (including a signed and notarized Operation and Maintenance
Agreement) shall be approved in writing by this Office before the impacts specified in this Certification occur per Condition No. in GC
No. . The stormwater management plan must include plans and specifications for stormwater management facilities that are
appropriate for surface waters classified as and designed to remove 85% TSS according to the most recent version of the NC DENR
Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual. These facilities must be designed to treat the runoff from the entire project, unless
otherwise explicitly approved by the Division of Water Quality. Also, before any permanent building is occupied at the subject site, the
facilities (as approved by this Office) shall be constructed and operational, and the stormwater management plan (as approved by this Office)
shall be implemented. The structural stormwater practices as approved by this Office as well as drainage patterns must be maintained in
perpetuity. No changes to the structural stormwater practices shall be made without written authorization from the Division of Water Quality.
? (Optional Paragraphs)
The above condition shall apply unless it is demonstrated in writing to the satisfaction of this Office that the impervious area of the entire,
built-out project shall be less than 30% and that there are no areas of concentrated impervious area over 30% within the project such as, but
not limited to, commercial areas, multi-family, clubhouses, maintenance areas, etc.
There shall be no direct discharges to streams from fairways, tee areas, or greens.
A State Stormwater Permit (15 A NCAC 2H .1000) can be considered to meet this condition.
? Written Stormwater Management Plan (No Further Approval Needed)
? Include bold line material
The final, written stormwater management plans (Including a signed and notarized Operation and Maintenance Agreement) dated
, must be Implemented and the stormwater management facilities shall be constructed and operational before any permanent building
is occupied at the subject site. The structural stormwater practices as approved by this Office as well as drainage patterns must be
maintained in perpetuity. No changes to the structural stormwater practices shall be made without written authorization from the Division of
Water Quality.
The following conditions can be used in any situation where diffuse flow is required through protected buffers. The first condition can be
used for projects that have adequately addressed this Issue as part of the application process. The second can be used when the Issue is
not well addressed.
Diffuse Flow (No Review)
An additional condition is that all constructed stormwater conveyance outlets shall be directed as diffuse flow at non-erosive velocities
through the protected stream buffers such that it will not re-concentrate before discharging into a stream as identified within 15A NCAC 2B
.0233 (5). If this is not possible it may be necessary to provide stormwater facilities that are considered to remove nitrogen. This may
require additional approval from this Office.
? Diffuse Flow (Review)
An additional condition is that all constructed stormwater conveyance outlets shall be directed to flow in a diffuse manner at non-erosive
velocities through the entire protected stream buffers without re-concentrating. If this is not possible it may be necessary to provide
stormwater facilities that are considered to remove nitrogen. Additionally, a stormwater management plan for this project shall be provided to
this Office before any of the impacts approved herein are conducted. The plan shall specify all stormwater discharge points, plan details, and
calculations to indicate that diffuse flow through the protected buffers or nitrogen removal as described above will be achieved.
The following are typical conditions added to all approvals unless it does not make sense to add It:
Certificate of Completion
? y
Upon completion of all work approved within the 401 Water Quality Certification or applicable Buffer Rules, and any subsequent
modifications, the applicant is required to return the attached certificate of completion to the 401/Wetlands Unit, North Carolina Division of
Water Quality, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650.
? Deed Notifications
Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all retained jurisdictional wetlands, waters and protective buffers in order to
assure compliance for future wetland, water and buffer impact. These mechanisms shall be put in place prior to impacting any wetlands,
waters and/or buffers approved for impact under this Certification Approval and Authorization Certificate. A sample deed notification can be

? Temporary Fills
All temporary fill and culverts shall be removed and the impacted area returned to the original grade, including each stream's original cross
sectional dimensions, planform pattern, and longitudinal bed and bed profile after construction is complete or within 6 months of the
establishment of the crossing, which ever is sooner, and the various sites shall be stabilized with natural woody vegetation (except for the
maintenance areas of permanent utility crossings) and restored to prevent erosion; If the crossings are not completely removed and restored
as described above within the specified time above, additional written approval from this Office must be obtained to modify this condition.
The following are conditions to place specific requirements in areas with protected buffers:
? Protective Fencing
The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary and along the construction corridor within these boundaries approved under this authorization
shall be clearly marked by orange fabric fencing for the areas that have been approved to infringe within the buffer, wetland or water prior to
any land disturbing activities to ensure compliance with 15A NCAC 26 and GC
? Catawba Buffer Tree Protection
No trees shall be removed from Zone 1 of the Catawba Buffer unless they are directly within the construction access corridor. If trees are
removed, forested vegetation shall be re-established within the construction access or other temporary impact area occurring in the protected
buffer zone within the next growing season following construction of the project;
The following are additional conditions for additional sediment and erosion control practices:
? Sensitive Watershed Erosion and Sediment Control Practices
The Division of Land Resources' Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds (15A NCAC 04B .0124) must be adhered to throughout the life
of this project.
? NC DOT Sensitive Watershed Erosion and Sediment Control Practices
Sediment and erosion control measures shall adhere to the design standards for sensitive watersheds [15A NCAC 46 .0024]; see NCDOT
publication, Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters (March 1997);
? Turbidity Standard
The turbidity standard of NTUs (Nephelometric Turbidity Units) shall not be exceeded as described in 15 A NCAC 2B..0200.
Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices must be used to meet this standard.
The following are various special conditions for additional protection of various resources. They can be tweaked to meet specific
circumstances:
? Culvert Installation
The culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles are not altered. Existing stream
dimensions (including the cross section dimensions, pattern, and longitudinal profile) are to be maintained above and below locations of each
culvert. The culverts shall be designed and installed to allow for aquatic life movement as well as to prevent head cutting of the streams. If
any of the existing pipes are or become perched, the appropriate stream grade shall be re-established or, if the pipes installed in a perched
manner, the pipes shall be removed and re-installed correctly.
The culvert(s) shall not be installed in such a manner that will cause aggradation or erosion of the stream up or down stream of the culvert(s).
Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section dimensions, pattern and longitudinal profile) are to be maintained above and below
locations of each culvert. As such, it is required that you provide the plans with adequate details that indicate that the current stability of the
stream will be maintained or enhanced. You must receive written approval from this Office for the above plans before the culvert(s) is
Installed. The culvert(s) must be installed according to the approved plans.
The establishment of native, woody vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization techniques must be used where practicable instead of
rip rap or other bank hardening methods; If rip-rap is necessary, it shall not be placed in the stream bed, unless specifically approved by the
Division of Water Quality.
Installation of culverts in wetlands must ensure continuity of water movement and be designed to adequately accommodate high water or
flood conditions.
Upon completion of the project, the Applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of Completion" form to notify NCDWQ when
all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached form and return it to the
401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality upon completion of the project. Please send photographs upstream and downstream
of each culvert site to document correct installation along with the Certificate of Completion form.
? Minimum Release
Before any of the impacts approved in the Certification are conducted you must submit, and obtain written approval by this Office for, a
minimum water release plan. The plan must include a written explanation of the specific discharge rate and means for each required release.
The plan must also include any design specifications, details and calculations to show that the release shall be achieved in the given
conditions. The plan shall also include monitoring that ensures compliance. The plan and any associated facilities, once approved, must be in
place and implemented upon the completion of
? Marina Projects
Any marina project that proposes to dispense or store fuel, shall provide and adhere to an EPA approved SPCC plan to this Office before the
fueling facilities are constructed.
A completed "Division of Water Quality Use Attainability Analysis for Proposed Marina Projects in Class SA Waters" document must be
provided to and must receive written approval from the Regional Office before construction of the proposed project may begin.
(Buffer Rules Option) A fifty foot vegetated buffer must be established and maintained around the new perimeter of marina basin.
? "Re-opener" Clause
Continuing Compliance. shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality standards (including any
requirements resulting from compliance with section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any other appropriate requirements of State law and
federal law. If DWO determines that such standards or laws are not being met (including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use)
or that State or federal law is being violated, or that further conditions are necessary to assure compliance, DWQ may reevaluate and modify
this certification to include conditions appropriate to assure compliance with such standards and requirements in accordance with 15A NCAC
2H.0507(d). Before modifying the certification, DWQ shall notify and the US Army Corps of Engineers provide public notice in
accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0503 and provide opportunity for public hearing in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0504. Any new or revised
conditions shall be provided to in writing, shall be provided to the United States Army Corps of Engineers for reference in any permit
issued pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and shall also become conditions of the 404 Permit for the project.

WATER OUAL11Y SECTION
December 4, 2003
Edward and Robert Richards, 1136 Manor View Court, Lynchburg, Virginia 24053 has
applied for a Department of the Army (DA) permit TO CONSTRUCT A MARINA WHICH
INCLUDES 50 WET SLIPS, 540 DRY SLIPS, DOCKAGE, BASIN AND CANAL
EXPANSION, TRAVEL LIFT, SHIP'STORE, WORKSHOP, PARKING AND 1.25 MILES OF
NEW CHANNEL IN EASTMOUTH BAY, AT 401 BAYVIEW DRIVE, ON THE NORTH
SIDE OF HARKER'S ISLAND, CARTERET COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA.
Please review the attachments provided by the applicant and the North Carolina Division
of Coastal Management (CAMA Major application) for a description of the site and the proposed
project. Plans submitted with the application show the proposed limits of the work and facility.
The purpose of the work is to provide a commercial marina for public use. Plans showing
the work are included with this public notice.
The applicant has determined that the proposed work is consistent with the North Carolina
Coastal Zone Management Plan and has submitted this determination to the North Carolina
Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM) for their review and concurrence. This proposal
shall be reviewed for the applicability of other actions by North Carolina agencies such as:
a. The issuance of a Water Quality Certification under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act
by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ).
b. The issuance of a permit to dredge and/or fill under North Carolina General Statute
113-229 by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM).
c. The issuance of a permit under the North Carolina Coastal Area Management Act
(CAMA) by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM) or their delegates.
d. The issuance of an casement to fill or otherwise occupy State-owned submerged land
under North Carolina General Statute 143-341(4), 146-6, 146-11, and 146-12 by the North
Carolina Department of Administration (NCDA) and the North Carolina Council of State.

e. The approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan by the Land Quality
Section, North Carolina Division of Land Resources (NCDLR), pursuant to the State
Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (NC G.S. 113 A-50-66).
The requested Department of the Army (DA) permit will be denied if any required State or
local authorization and/or certification are denied. No DA permit will be issued until a State
coordinated viewpoint is received and reviewed by this agency. Recipients of this notice are
encouraged to furnish comments on factors of concern represented by the above agencies
directly to the respective agency, with a copy furnished to the Corps of Engineers.
This notice initiates the Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) consultation requirements of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. The District Engineer's initial
determination is that the proposed project would not adversely impact EFH or associated
fisheries managed by the South Atlantic or Mid Atlantic Fishery Management Councils or the
National Marine Fisheries Service.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403). Any person may request, in
writing within the comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing be held to
consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with particularity, the reasons
for holding a public hearing.
The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the National Register of
Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered properties, or properties listed as being
eligible for inclusion therein, and this site is not registered property or property listed as being
eligible for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register is the extent of
cultural resource investigations by the District Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the
presence of such resources. Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or
historical data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit.
The District Engineer, based on available information, is not aware that the proposed
activity will affect species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened
pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
The decision, whether to issue a permit, will be based on an evaluation of the probable
impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity and its intended use on the
public interest. Evaluation of the probable impacts that the proposed activity may have on the
public interest requires a careful weighing of all those factors that become relevant in each
particular case. The benefits that may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced
against its foreseeable detriments. The decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the
conditions under which it will be allowed to occur, are therefore decided by the outcome of the
general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern for both protection
and use of important resources. All factors that may be relevant to the proposal must be
considered including the cumulative effects of it. Among those are conservation, economics,
aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values,
flood hazards and flood plain values (according to Executive Order 11988), land use, navigation,
2
shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy
needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership,
and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the placement of
dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, a permit will be denied if the discharge
that would be authorized would not comply with the Environmental Protection Agency's
404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any other applicable guidelines or
criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District Engineer decides that it would be contrary to
the public interest.
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State and local
agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested parties to consider and evaluate the
impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of
Engineers to decide whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal. To
make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic
properties, water quality, general environmental effects and the other public interest factors listed
above. Comments are used in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA). Comments are also used to decide the need for a public hearing and to decide the
public interest of the proposed activity.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received in
this office, Attention: Mr. Henry Wicker, until 4:15 p.m. January 5, 2004, or telephone (910)
251-4930.

?/ 9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
The property is a 20.47-acre tract of land located on the north side of Harker's Island, at
401 Bayview Drive. The site consists of 10.6 acres of upland adjacent to Eastmouth Bay,
and 9.9 acres of wetlands and canal system within the bay. The north side of Harker's
Island is riddled with mosquito ditching, and this property is no exception. There are 4
unimproved mosquito ditches on the north east side of the property, and the main ditch to the
west that was improved to create a boat basin and canal prior to the onset of the CAMA in
1978. Several canals in this same area were likewise expanded during the years preceding
the CAMA.
The property line to the west is located in the center of a
less improved ditch. The north side of the tract is
primarily vegetated with Spartina alterniflora along the
ditches, for a width of approximately 800'. Peninsulas
created from the spoil of the original canal excavation line
both sides of the canal. A narrow fringe of Section 404
Wetlands lines the peninsulas and
the south side of the mosquito
ditches. Landward of this fringe,
there are areas of high coastal marsh that do not contain soils
sufficient to be designated as Section 404 wetlands, and yet do
interact with the waters of the bay. The remainder of the property is
upland, cleared, and previously disturbed.
The upland portion of the tract averages +5' msl, and is
vegetated with common grasses. As stated above, the basin,
canal, and residence were developed prior to 1978. The 1978
aerial photograph shows 15 trailers located on the peninsula area
around the basin. According to the records, the basin and canal
were dug in anticipation of a federal project to be located within
Eastmouth Bay. This project never came about. By the 1984
photography, most of the trailers were no longer present. The 1989 photography shows the
evolution of the site to a boat construction facility, and in fact there is
a vessel under construction shown on the photo.
The 1995 photography shows this operation ti
continuing, and what appears to be the same litthT_h
vessel under construction. By the 2000
photograph, and continuing to the present, the
commercial ventures are abandoned, and the
single residence and relic concrete pads from the
previous businesses are all that remain.

During the years, previous property owners have engaged the review agencies in various
requests. There have also been several violations at this location. An application
was submitted and circulated to the agencies during this time period requesting the
construction of a new boat manufacturing facility, to include excavation and fill of wetlands,
facility buildings, and bulkheading. After receiving negative agency comments, the
application was retired on August 25, 1988. Also during the mid 1980's, there were several
General Permits issued to Mr. Lang for
maintenance excavation of the canal Y, J/
and basin, a boat ramp, bulkhead,
subdivision, and pipeline of sorts.
There is no indication on file as to
which of these permits were utilized.
",?..,, .,...-.••..? . ??--,? ??,-•• Currently,
there is a
residence with a septic tank, boat basin
and canal with failing bulkhead, and a
recently constructed small, private
dock.
The request on the table currently has N .'
undergone review during the SEPA process via Environmental
Impact Statement. The Record of Decision was issued on August
22, 2002, and since that time the applicant has finalized the CAMA Permit Application.
The proposal is for the construction of a marina, comprised of 50 wet slips, 540 dry stack,
with a boardwalk around the perimeter of the basin, and floating and fixed dockage within
the basin. Boats 25' to 40' in length are intended to use the facility. The basin is proposed
for expansion into the high ground and high marsh, as is the canal. Additionally, excavation
of a new, 7100' channel is proposed, leading from the canal through Eastmouth Bay, to the
deeper waters located within Back Sound.
Eastmouth Bay is not designated as a Primary Nursery Area. The waters are open to the
taking of shellfish, with a documented historic use, according to the NC DMF.
Approximately '/z mile to the west of the project site within the eastern portion of Westmouth
Bay, there is a sizeable shellfish garden, operated by Carolina Atlantic Seafood Company.
The bay has a considerable population of 7ostera marina. The waters carry a stormwater
classification of SA. The Carteret County Land Use Plan has classified the area as Limited
Transition, with all AEC's being classified as Conservation. The width of the bay is
approximately 900' across at the mouth of the canal, increasing as
one heads east.
The submitted plats show a section of wetlands on the peninsula to
the west labeled as "marginal coastal wetlands." These areas are in
transition, and while presently being supported mostly by
stormwater ponding, they are

Cape Lookout Marina, Inc./Edward and Robert Richards
Page 4
increasingly flooded by the canal to the west. The wetlands are not sufficiently active to be
F/onsidered jurisdictional under the CAMA presently. They are noted on the plat at the
request of the Division because of the long-term nature of major permits.
On June 04, 2002, two representatives of the Division of Coastal Management performed
informal sampling of Eastmouth Bay in the vicinity of the proposed access channel. The
results are as follows:

Aerial photography through the years confirms the continued and dynamic presence of
submerged vegetation within Eastmouth Bay. The aerials also reveal the fine composition of
die sediments, i.e., the 1995 photo shows a very turbid stream from the passing of a boat.
In July of 2001, the applicant had benthic samples taken 10' and 30' north and south of the
proposed channel centerline. A total of 128 sites were sampled. Zostera marina was found
at 5% of the sites, 3% within the proposed channel. The results are attached. The applicant
took dissolved oxygen levels as part of the SEPA process, which revealed 4.33 to 5.96 mg/l
within the canal during a 2 week time period between August 30 and Sept 15 (enclosed).
The specific proposal for this project is as follows:
In the general vicinity of the existing concrete pads, the applicant proposes to construct two
dry stack boat storage buildings, one to house 240 boats and the other to house 300 boats.
There will be a workshop for minor maintenance and repairs, a ship store, 6 restrooms,
showers, offices, fuel service, and a wastewater pumpout. Another 4 restrooms will be
provided within a building located on the peninsula to the west of the basin. The fuel
dispenser, holding tank, and pumpout are shown adjacent to the bulkhead in the southeast
corner of the basin. Asphalt parking is proposed adjacent to Island Road and along the
peninsula to the west. A total of 140 spaces are provided.
The proposal is to enlarge the exist ing septic system and pump across the street to another
septic field. This plan has received Carteret County Health Department approval.
Approximately 2375 gallons per day of potable water will be required for the marina
operation. This will be obtained from the local municipal system.
The existing, failing bulkhead is to be removed. The existing basin, 150' x 105', will be
enlarged to 285' x 172'. The existing 860' x 75' canal will be widened on both sides for the
end result of a canal 118' in width. The basin and canal will be stabilized with a new vinyl
or concrete bulkhead, totaling approximately 2700' in length. A "drop zone" with travel lift
to launch the boats from the dry stack facility is to be located on the east side of the basin.
This area will be approximately 260' x 60' on average, and will abut the bulkhead. Besides
the "drop zones" located within the basin, there are floating docks for offloading and
temporary mooring. The 7' wide floats total 120' in length, and the 6' wide float s total 590'
in length. There are 25 fixed finger docks proposed in the basin and canal, averaging 4' x
20', with 75 associated mooring pilings. Within the basin, 13 slips are proposed, and within
the canal 37 slips. The slips will accommodate boats fro m 25' to 40' in size.
There are 6 walkways proposed from the parking lot to the marina, averaging 45' to 50'
long, and 6' in width. A drip -thru boardwalk is proposed for a length of 1567' around the
perimeter of the basin, with a width of 6'. Overnigh t dockage will be allowed within the
basin and canal with a lease requiring a locked head.
Hydraulic dredging of the basin and canal are requested from the existing depth of -3.4' to
-4' nlw to a finished depth of -5' nlw. This area will be excavated wi th a box cut design for
equal bottom and top cut widths. A spoil area will be constructed in the area of the
proposed

dry stack buildings, with approximate dimensions of 350' x 310', with 7.5' of freeboard.
This facility will have the capacity for approximately 30, 139 cubic yards of material.
A smaller spoil area for future maintenance is proposed on the peninsula to the west of the
basin. This area will be approximately 310' x 60' with 7.5' of freeboard, and will
accommodate approximately 5167 cubic yards of material.
From the mouth of the existing canal for a distance of approximately 1501, there is an
unauthorized, informally excavated channel. Extending for another 1000'+ there is a less
defined area that shows evidence of prop wash. Aerial photography and field inspections
indicate this feature to average 9' to 15' in width. Current soundings show approximately
-2' at nlw.
The applicant is proposing to excavate a new channel from the mouth of the canal for a
distance eastward of 71001. This feature is intended to connect to the existing -5' bottom
contour within Back Sound. The application states that current soundings within this area
average from -2.4' nlw to -3.9' nlw. The request is for a consistent bottom depth of -5' nlw.
The requested top width of the new channel is 40' for the entirety of the distance, with
bottom widths ranging from 19'-33'. Approximately 21,700 cubic yards of material will be
removed to accomplish this, with the anticipation of another 3900 cubic yards every 5 years.
This material will be removed hydraulically and deposited into the large spoil area initially,
using the maintenance area after the initial dig. It is anticipat ed that this spoil will be
removed from the site after drying. Twenty-six channel markers and 4 no-wake signs are
proposed along the 7100' channel.
The NC Division of Water Quality has approved a Stormwater Management Plan for this
proposed development. No Sedimentation/Erosion Control Plan has yet been submitted to
the Division of Land Resources.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The upland portion of this marina facility will require the grading and filling of 7.4 acres,
with a finished impervious area totaling <29% within 75' of Eastmouth Bay, and 25%
overall. Approximately 5135 sf of high marsh will be excavated by the widening of the
canal, which will also require the conversion of approximately 30, 749 sf of high ground to
an open water system. Approximately 2360 sr of low marsh will be excavated for the basin
expansion. This marsh is landward of the existing bulkhead that is functioning as a
breakwater. The remainder of the proposal will cause the filling of approximately 1600 sf of
high marsh. The area shown as marginal wetlands will be filled, but is not presently
considered to be interacting with the estuarine system. The canal, basin, and new channel
will require the disturbance of approximately 323,000 sr of shallow bottom habitat within the
system, 39,000 sr of which is maintenance excavation within the existing canal and basin.
The docking system will shade approximately 6380 sr of newly created open water system.
The 7100' of new excavation through Eastmouth Bay is clearly proposed within SAV ha bitat,
although it is possible that the activity may bypass the actual vegetation at the time of
dredging. While the
Field Investigation Report
Cape Lookout Marina, Inc./Edward and Robert Richards
Page 7
proposed channel is located within active shellf ish waters, the actual channel cut may not
disturb the resource. Turbidity will be an issue during excavation, as the bay substrate is
fiery fine and lends itself to re-suspension easily. Turbidity may also be a continuing issue as
impatient boaters on busy weekends utilize the shallower areas outside of the channel during
sufficient and semi-sufficient tides. This use could cause the ongoing re -suspension of fines
into the water column with the associated changes to temperature, sunlight penetration,
oxygen availability, etc. The project itself has the possibility to greatly increase the boating
use of Eastmouth Bay, with the addition of 590 boats. This impact extends to Cape Lookout,
the selling destination of the project, with the addition of several hundred weekend visitors.
Parking may be a problem, as the County requirements are .6 spaces for each wet or dry
slip, and I slip per employee. This formula would indicate the need for 354 slips plus those
for employees. The proposal, which maximizes available space, allots 140 spaces.
This project is proposed for phasing over an 8 -year period.

9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
The property is a 20.47-acre tract of land located on the north side of Harker's Island, at
401 Bayview Drive. The site consists of 10.6 acres of upland adjacent to Eastmouth Bay,
and 9.9 acres of wetlands and canal system within the bay. The north side of Harker's
Island is riddled with mosquito ditching, and this property is no exception. There are 4
unimproved mosquito ditches on the north east side of the property, and the main ditch to the
west that was improved to create a boat basin and canal prior to the onset of the CAMA in
1978. Several canals in this same area were likewise expanded during the years preceding
the CAMA.
The property line to the west is located in the center of a
less improved ditch. The north side of the tract is
primarily vegetated with Spartina alterniflora along the
ditches, for a width of approximately 8001. Peninsulas
? , ?- ...
created from the spoil of the original canal excavation line
both sides of the canal. A narrow fringe of Section 404
Wetlands lines the peninsulas and
s the south side of the mosquito
ditches. Landward of this fringe,
there are areas of high coastal marsh that do not contain soils
sufficient to be designated as Section 404 wetlands, and yet do
interact with the waters of the bay. The remainder of the property is
upland, cleared, and previously disturbed.
The upland portion of the tract averages +5' msl, and is
vegetated with common grasses. As stated above, the basin, -
canal, and residence were developed prior to 1978. The 1978 '
aerial photograph shows 15 trailers located on the peninsula area -.
around the basin. According to the records, the basin and canal Y
were dug in anticipation of a federal project to be located within '
Eastmouth Bay. This project never came about. By the 1984
photography, most of the trailers were no longer present. The 1989 photography shows the
evolution of the site to a boat construction facility, and in fact there is
a vessel under construction shown on the photo.
The 1995 photography shows this operation
continuing, and what appears to be the same
vessel under construction. By the 2000
photograph, and continuing to the present, the
commercial ventures are abandoned, and the
single residence and relic concrete pads from the
previous businesses are all that remain.

During the years, previous property owners have engaged the review agencies in various
requests. In the mid 1980's, then owner Mr. Theodore Lang, DBA NMI. Shipbuilders, Inc.,
received 2 Notices of Violation (#87-01 and #86-64) from this division. The former was for
unauthorized excavation, and the latter was for unauthorized wetland fill. An application
was submitted and circulated to the agencies during this time period requesting the
construction of a new boat manufacturing facility, to include excavation and fill of wetlands,
facility buildings, and bulkheading. After receiving negative agency comments, the
application was retired on August 25, 1988. Also during the mid 19801s, there were several
General Permits issued to Mr. Lang for
maintenance excavation of the canal r--
and basin, a boat ramp, bulkhead,
subdivision, and pipeline of sorts. r ,
There is no indication on file as to
which of these permits were utilized.
Currently, ^L g RR? t#
4 . ;; ,,,?T'1•, there is a _ .? .,.___ ?; 3
residence with a septic tank, boat basin
and canal with failing bulkhead, and a
recently constructed small, private
dock.
`-' The request on the table currently has
undergone review during the SEPA process via Environmental
Impact Statement. The Record of Decision was issued on August =. -w
22, 2002, and since that time the applicant has finalized the CAMA Permit Application.
The proposal is for the construction of a marina, comprised of 50 wet slips, 540 dry stack,
with a boardwalk around the perimeter of the basin, and floating and fixed dockage within
the basin. Boats 25' to 40' in length are intended to use the facility. The basin is proposed
for expansion into the high ground and high marsh, as is the canal. Additionally, excavation
of a new, 7100' channel is proposed, leading from the canal through Eastmouth Bay, to the
deeper waters located within Back Sound.
Eastmouth Bay is not designated as a Primary Nursery Area. The waters are open to the
taking of shellfish, with a documented historic use, according to the NC DMF.
Approximately 1/2 mile to the west of the project site within the eastern portion of Westmouth
Bay, there is a sizeable shellfish garden, operated by Carolina Atlantic Seafood Company.
The bay has a considerable population of Zostera marina. The waters carry a stormwater
classification of SA. The Carteret County Land Use Plan has classified the area as Limited
Transition, with all AEC's being classified as Conservation. The width of the bay is
approximately 900' across at the mouth of the canal, increasing as
.,r one heads east.
The submitted plats show a section of wetlands on the peninsula to
G the west labeled as "marginal coastal wetlands." These areas are in
transition, and while presently being supported mostly by
- - .? ... stormwater ponding, they are
Field Investigation Report
Cape Lookout Marina, Inc./Edward and Robert Richards
Page 4
increasingly flooded by the canal to the west. The wetlands are not sufficiently active to be
considered jurisdictional under the CAMA presently. They are noted on the plat at the
request of the Division because of the long-term nature of major permits.
On June 04, 2002, two representatives of the Division of Coastal Management performed
informal sampling of Eastmouth Bay in the vicinity of the proposed access channel. The
results are as follows:

Aerial photography through the years confirms the continued and dynamic presence of
submerged vegetation within Eastinouth Bay. The aerials also reveal the fine composition of
the sediments, i.e., the 1995 photo shows a very turbid stream from the passing of a boat.
In July of 2001, the applicant had benthic samples taken 10' and 30' north and south of the
proposed channel centerline. A total of 128 sites were sampled. Zostera marina was found
at 5% of the sites, 3% within the proposed channel. The results are attached. The applicant
took dissolved oxygen levels as part of the SEPA process, which revealed 4.33 to 5.96 mg/1
within the canal during a 2 week time period between August 30 and Sept 15 (enclosed).
The specific proposal for this project is as follows:
In the general vicinity of the existing concrete pads, the applicant proposes to construct two
dry stack boat storage buildings, one to house 240 boats and the other to house 300 boats.
There will be a workshop for minor maintenance and repairs, a ship store, 6 restrooms,
showers, offices, fuel service, and a wastewater pumpout. Another 4 restrooms will be
provided within a building located on the peninsula to the west of the basin. The fuel
dispenser, holding tank, and pumpout are shown adjacent to the bulkhead in the southeast
corner of the basin. Asphalt parking is proposed adjacent to Island Road and along the
peninsula to the west. A total of 140 spaces are provided.
The proposal is to enlarge the existing septic system and pump across the street to another
septic field. This plan has received Carteret County Health Department approval.
Approximately 2375 gallons per day of potable water will be required for the marina
operation. This will be obtained from the local municipal system.
The existing, failing bulkhead is to be removed. The existing basin, 150' x 105', will be
enlarged to 285' x 172'. The existing 860' x 75' canal will be widened on both sides for the
end result of a canal 118' in width. The basin and canal will be stabilized with a new vinyl
or concrete bulkhead, totaling approximately 2700' in length. A "drop zone" with travel lift
to launch the boats from the dry stack facility is to be located on the east side of the basin.
This area will be approximately 260' x 60' on average, and will abut the bulkhead. Besides
the "drop zones" located within the basin, there are floating docks for offloading and
temporary mooring. The 7' wide floats total 120' in length, and the 6' wide float s total 590'
in length. There are 25 fixed finger docks proposed in the basin and canal, averaging 4' x
20', with 75 associated mooring pilings. Within the basin, 13 slips are proposed, and within
the canal 37 slips. The slips will accommodate boats fro in 25' to 40' in size.
There are 6 walkways proposed from the parking lot to the marina, averaging 45' to 50'
long, and 6' in width. A drip -thru boardwalk is proposed for a length of 1567' around the
perimeter of the basin, with a width of 6'. Overnigh t dockage will be allowed within the
basin and canal with a lease requiring a locked head.
Hydraulic dredging of the basin and canal are requested from the existing depth of -3.4' to
-4' nlw to a finished depth of -5' nlw. This area will be excavated with a box cut design for
equal bottom and top cut widths. A spoil area will be constructed in the area of the
proposed

dry stack buildings, with approximate dimensions of 350' x 310', with 7.5' of freeboard.
This facility will have the capacity for approximately 30, 139 cubic yards of material.
A smaller spoil area for future maintenance is proposed on the peninsula to the west of the
basin. This area will be approximately 310' x 60' with 7.5' of freeboard, and will
accommodate approximately 5167 cubic yards of material.
From the mouth of the existing canal for a distance of approximately 1501, there is an
unauthorized, informally excavated channel. Extending for another 1000'± there is a less
defined area that shows evidence of prop wash. Aerial photography and field inspections
indicate this feature to average 9' to 15' in width. Current soundings show approximately
-2' at nlw.
The applicant is proposing to excavate a new channel from the mouth of the canal for a
distance eastward of 7100'. This feature is intended to connect to the existing -5' bottom
contour within Back Sound. The application states that current soundings within this area
average from -2.4' nlw to -3.9' n1w. The request is for a consistent bottom depth of -5' nlw.
The requested top width of the new channel is 40' for the entirety of the distance, with
bottom widths ranging from 19'-331. Approximately 21,700 cubic yards of material will be
removed to accomplish this, with the anticipation of another 3900 cubic yards every 5 years.
This material will be removed hydraulically and deposited into the large spoil area initially,
using the maintenance area after the initial dig. It is anticipated that this spoil will be
removed from the site after drying. Twenty-six channel markers and 4 no-wake signs are
proposed along the 7100' channel.
The NC Division of Water Quality has approved a Stormwater Management Plan for this
proposed development. No Sedimentation/Erosion Control Plan has yet been submitted to
the Division of Land Resources.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The upland portion of this marina facility will require the grading and filling of 7.4 acres,
with a finished impervious area totaling <29% within 75' of Eastmouth Bay, and 25%
overall. Approximately 5135 sf of high marsh will be excavated by the widening of the
canal, which will also require the conversion of approximately 30, 749 sf of high ground to
an open water system. Approximately 2360 sf of low marsh will be excavated for the basin
expansion. This marsh is landward of the existing bulkhead that is functioning as a
breakwater. The remainder of the proposal will cause the filling of approximately 1600 sf of
high marsh. The area shown as marginal wetlands will be filled, but is not presently
considered to be interacting with the estuarine system. The canal, basin, and new channel
will require the disturbance of approximately 323,000 sf of shallow bottom habitat within the
system, 39,000 sf of which is maintenance excavation within the existing canal and basin.
The docking system will shade approximately 6380 sf of newly created open water system.
The 7100' of new excavation through Eastmouth Bay is clearly proposed within SAV ha bitat,
although it is possible that the activity may bypass the actual vegetation at the time of
dredging. While the
Field Investigation Report
Cape Lookout Marina, Inc./Edward and Robert Richards
Page 7
proposed channel is located within active shellf ish waters, the actual channel cut may not
disturb the resource. Turbidity will be an issue during excavation, as the bay substrate is
very fine and lends itself to re-suspension easily. Turbidity may also be a continuing issue as
impatient boaters on busy weekends utilize the shallower areas outside of the channel during
sufficient and semi-sufficient tides. This use could cause the ongoing re -suspension of fines
into the water column with the associated changes to temperature, sunlight penetration,
oxygen availability, etc. The project itself has the possibility to greatly increase the boating
use of Eastmouth Bay, with the addition of 590 boats. This impact extends to Cape Lookout,
the selling destination of the project, with the addition of several hundred weekend visitors.
Parking may be a problem, as the County requirements are .G spaces for each wet or dry
slip, and 1 slip per employee. This formula would indicate the need for 354 slips plus those
for employees. The proposal, which maximizes available space, allots 140 spaces.
This project is proposed for phasing over an 8 -year period.

PROJECT NARRATIVE
September 29, 2003
Summary
The proposed development on Harkers Island is an upland wet slip/dry stack marina on a
previously developed site on Eastmouth Bay. Previous development of the site included
a multiple unit mobile home park with multiple septic tanks. This was later redeveloped
as a commercial boat building facility. The 20.47-acre development site consists of 10.6
acres of upland, 2.49 acres of canal and basin, and 7.38 acres of coastal wetlands.
The proposed development includes enlarging the basin and canal; dredging a new
channel; constructing 50 wet slips; and, over an 8 to 10 year period, erecting two dry
stack buildings with a 540-boat capacity. The facility will market to boats between 25
and 40 feet in length.
An Environmental Assessment was submitted on March 26, 2001 and comments were
received from the Division of Coastal Management, Division of Marine Fisheries,
Shellfish Sanitation Branch, and Division of Water Quality. DEIS comments were
received from these agencies and the Division of Environmental Health, On-site
Wastewater Section and were responded to on January 25, 2002 and March 12, 2002.
State Clearinghouse review was initiated on April 19, 2002 through publication in the
State Bulletin. Comments from the Clearinghouse review were responded to and the
Final EIS was submitted to Clearinghouse on June 18, 2002. Clearinghouse review of
the FEIS was completed August 2, and the Record of Decision was issued on August 22,
2002. An Essential Fish Habitat Assessment has been completed and will be submitted
to th Corps of Engineers.
Existing Sitc
The proposed development on Harkers Island is an upland wet slip/dry stack marina on a
previously developed site. Previous development of the site included a multiple unit
mobile home park with multiple septic tanks. This was later redeveloped as a
commercial boat building facility. The boat works was mostly open with three large
concrete pads. Eroded banks on the basin/canal and drainage ditches from road culverts
to the east and west direct stormwater to surface waters. Three concrete pads comprising
1.07 acres are present in the southeast portion of the site. Combined with the house and
driveway in the same portion of the tract, the existing impervious cover of the 10.6-acre
upland area is 10.1%.
All boat building and support facilities (except the concrete pads) have been removed
from the site. The site is 20.47 acres in total with 7.38 acres of coastal wetlands, a canal
and basin of 2.49 acres of water and 10.6 acres of upland area. There are an existing
residence, two approved septic tank sites, and an existing 75 foot wide, +/- 4 foot deep
MLW (-4.6' MSL) upland canal connecting to Eastmouth Bay with a wooden bulkheaded
"T" basin measuring 150 x105 feet. (Note: NC Geodedic Survey reports that MLW is -
0.59 feet from MSL at Shell Point.)
An existing, unauthorized 150-foot "channel" runs northeast from the mouth of the canal
and extends for approximately 1,500 as a "kicked channel". It is variable in depth along
its length from -2.4 to -3 .9 feet MLW (-3.0' to 4.5' MSL) and is subject to shoaling at the
mouth of the existing canal. The "channel" and others in Westmouth Bay have existed at
least since 1978, as they are visible on DCM's 1978 aerial photograph of the area.
Proposed Marina Development
The preferred alternative is a marina/dry stack and a proposed new channel 40 feet wide,
-5 feet MLW (-5.6' MSL), and 7,100 feet long connecting to -5 feet MLW (-5.6' MSL) in
Eastmouth Bay. Aviodance, minimization and mitigation measures have been
incorporated in the proposed development.
Impacts to 404 wetlands have been avoided through site design and 2,595
square feet of fringe coastal wetlands along the existing, upland canal will
be lost to dredging.
v Direct impacts to shellfish beds SAV have been avoided in proposed
channel alignment.
The "preferred alternative" described in the Draft EIS was modified to
reflect agency comments as described in Alternative 7. The "preferred
alternative" was further modified based on additional agency comments
on the DEIS and incorporated in the FEIS.
o Impervious surface coverage has been reduced from 32.4% to 25%.
The DEIS reduced the number of wet slips from 85 to 75. Based on
comments, additional reduction of slips eliminates 25 slips for a proposed
total of 50 wet slips.
The DEIS moved the slip footprint back from the mouth of the canal and
shellfish areas from 60 to 325 feet. In response to comments, the slip
footprint has been moved further back for a distance of 360 feet from the
canal mouth.
o Closure of shellfish areas has been avoided through the reduction in
number of wet slips to 50 and increasing the distance from the canal
mouth of 360 feet.
® A locked head policy will be enforced and be incorporated into the
facility's lease agreement.
Notices will be posted and guidelines adopted regarding sea turtle
protection and reporting of sightings.
v A Spill Prevention and Response Plan will be in place at the facility.
Existing wooden bulkhead material containing CCA (copper-chrome-
arsenate) will be removed and replaced with concrete and/or vinyl.
No Wake Zones for Eastmouth Bay and entrance channel will be proposed
and a No Wake Policy will be incorporated into the facility's lease
agreements.
v Of the 132 sample sites, only two at the outer limits showed "sparce"
Zostera within the alignment. The outer portion of the proposed channel
alignment (eastern end of Harker's Island) has been shifted approximately
100 feet to the northeast providing additional buffer to sampled and
mapped SAV in the area.
o A Stormwater Management Plan has been approved by the Division of
Water Quality (SW8 030826).
The project proposes new dredging of the 1,650-foot segment to a consistent depth of -5
feet MLW (- 5.6 MSL) and width of 40 feet. This segment will continue eastward as new
dredging for a total distance of 7,100 feet, 5 feet deep and 40 feet wide, and the entire
length is referred to as the "proposed channel". Dredged widths at the bottom range
from 19.4 to 33. I feet and 4.1 acres of bottom will be disturbed. A turbidity curtain will
be used at the mouth of the canal to protect coastal wetlands and shellfish.
The canal will be widened an additional 15-20 feet on the west bank to accommodate 37
wet slips and an additional 30 feet on the east bank (no wet slips). The final canal
dimensions will be 118 feet x 860 feet. The basin will also be enlarged to 172 feet x 285
feet and provide 13 wet slips and floating docks for staging, provisioning, fueling and
waste pump out. Two, 30-foot wide boat drop zones for dry stack access will be located
adjacent to the dry storage facility. The footprint of the basin/canal will be
approximately 156,330 sf. The canal and basin will be bulkheaded with concrete and/or -- --
vinyl.
Of the 21,400 cubic yards of dredged material from the basin and canal, approximately
12,000 cubic yards will be used for building foundations, landscaping and initially for
berm construction on the southeast portion of the site to retain material from the channel
enlargement. The 19,500 cubic yards from new channel dredging will be hydraulically
placed in the upland bermed site (28,221 cubic yard capacity), de-watered and removed
by local contractors for residential and commercial landscaping.
Based on records of maintenance dredging for the Back Sound to Lookout Bight Channel
from the Corps of Engineers, maintenance volumes approach 20% of the original volume
on an average of every five years. Though the Navigation Branch has suggested that the
percentage and frequency would be lower in Eastmouth Bay, applying the 20% to the
proposed new channel volume would indicate a need for disposal of approximately 3,900
cubic yards. An area on the western peninsula has been set aside for future maintenance
volumes which has a capacity for 4,532 cubic yards. The diked spoil area would allow
for de-watering, and the material would be hauled off-site for landscaping and fill.
The proposed Marina will provide dockage for boats in the range of 25 to 40 feet. Dry stack
buildings will be constructed to the east of the basin in three phases over an eight to 10 year
period. Phase I will provide 50 wet slips, Phase II will add 300 dry stack units, and Phase
III will add 240 dry stack units. An area will be available for routine boat maintenance, such
as washing and engine care, but no major maintenance will be conducted. A ship's store
will be adjacent to the dry stack facility providing offices for the Harbor Master and
administrative activities as well as sales of boating and fishing supplies, drinks, groceries
and prepackaged foods. Public restrooms and shower facilities for dry stack customers will
also be located in the ship's store building. Access and parking will be located to the south
between the facility and Bayview Drive and to the west.
Water supply, estimated at 2,375 gallons per day, will be from the public system on Harkers
Island. Domestic wastewater will be treated in an approved on-site septic tank (capacity
of 600 gpd; County Health Department Improvement Permit # R 1628, June 22, 1999) and
a second approved septic tank (capacity of 1440 gpd; Improvement Permit # A 6613,
November 2, 2000) on an adjacent lot to the south, owned by the applicant. Wastewater
from the pump out facility from and other flows above the 2,040 gpd capacity will be
handled by an approved "Wastewater Storage and Transfer Facility" (estimated to be less
than 500 gpd). A locked head policy will be enforced and be incorporated in the slip leasing
document.
Spill response procedures will be written into a Spill Prevention and Response Plan, and put
in place at the Marina. These procedures will include information such as prevention,
materials management, a contingency plan, and response procedures including the steps to
take to secure leaks or stop migration of spilled oil; contact phone numbers of agencies,
contractors, fire department, etc.; and a list of materials available on site for spill control and
clean up.
The proposed stormwater management system for the preferred alternative will includes a
combination of the following items allowed for development with 25% or less built upon
area. The design will include a 30-foot wide vegetative buffer from the mean high water
line, perpendicular from the shoreline. The stormwater management plan utilazes sheet flow
over vegetated areas as conveyance of treated stormwater runoff via 3 sand filters. The plan
has been approved by the Division of Water Quality (SW8 030826).

RE- S-!r -v for SAV, shellfish, and bottom substratP near Parker's Island: Carteret County, North
Carolina.
Dear Mr. Schecter:
The purpose of this letter is to report the results of a survey for submersed aquatic vegetation
(SAV), shellfish, and bottom substrate (i.e. shellfish habitat) along a 7,400-foot alignment proposed
for dredging on the northeast side of Harker's Island, Carteret County, North Carolina.
Sampling Design: Thirty-two transects oriented perpendicular to a proposed 7,400-foot channel
centerline were provided to CZR. Transects were spaced 200 feet apart along
the western most 2,000 feet and 250 apart for the remainder of the alignment.
Transect #1 represents the western most transect and Transect #32 represents
the eastern most transect. Four sites were sampled along each transect. Site
#1 along each transect represents the most southern sample and site #4
represents the most northern sample. In relation to the proposed centerline
channel, site #1 was located 30 feet south, site #2 was located 10 feet south,
site #3 was 10 feet north, and site #4 was located 30 feet north. Sites 2 and
3 are in the proposed channel, while 1 and 4 are outside the channel.
Sampling Sites: A total of 128 sites were sampled for bottom substrate, and presence/absence
of living shellfish (oysters, clams, scallops) and SAV. Coordinates for sampling
sites were provided to CZR via e-mail on 20 July 2001 and depicted on plats
(produced by TRC Triangle, 19 July 2001, file: gps_transects.cfwg) received
by CZR on 23 July 2001.
Methodology: The presence/absence of shellfish and SAV were determined from samples
collected using a standard Ponar grab/dredge. Representative SAV was
collected to confirm species identification. An analysis of the bottom substrate
was conducted using North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF)
guidance (Attachment A) for strata identification. With additional guidance
(information via e-mail on 19 July 2001)from DMF, the analysis of the bottom
substrate was conducted using an aluminum pole and the following
designations: little or no penetration under force = hard substrate, moderate
penetration under force = firm, and penetration with little or no force = soft.
These criteria were used to designate low, medium, and high quality shellfish
habitat, as identified in the attached table. The presence/absence of shell
material also was noted from the Ponar grab sample and is noted in the
attached table.

Sampling Dates: Sampling occurred 23 July through 26 July 2001.
Sampling conditions: Turbidity did not allow visibility of the bottom substrate. Sampling occurred
over a variety of tides throughout the days. Scattered thunderstorms limited
field work on 23 and 24 July 2001. Wind was primarily from the south and
southwest at 10 to 20mph.
Summary: Sampling data are depicted in the attached Table 1 and summarized below.
SAV
• Eel grass (Zostera marina) was detected at seven (50,10) of the 128
sampled sites. Sites with SAV were: (transect # - site #) 3-,41, 4-1, 6-
z, 2 i ?, 27-3, 28-1, and 3C-1. SAV covcr3ge as rorrroscrted in those
.y.
seven Ponar grab samples, was sparse. No other SAV species were
found.
• Two (3%) sites (27-2 and 27-3) of the 64 sites sampled within the
proposed channel contained SAV.
Shellfish
• No live shellfish were encountered from the sampled sites.
Bottom Substrate
Of the 128 sites sampled:
• - 15.6% were soft substrate with and without shell = low quality,
- 82.8% were firm substrate with and without shell = medium quality,
- 1.5% were hard substrate with and without shell = high quality.
• - 68.0% contained no shell fragments
- 19.5% contained few (less than 1 %) shell fragments
- 12.5% contained shell fragments
Of the 64 sites sampled within the proposed channel:
• - 19.0% were soft substrate with and without shell = low quality,
- 81.0% were firm substrate with and without shell = medium quality,
0.0% were hard substrate with and without shell = high quality.
• - 64.0% contained no shell fragments
- 25.0% contained few (less than 1 %) shell fragments
- 11.0% contained shell fragments
Hopefully these data will assist you with this project. If you should have any questions about
the attached information, please do not hesitate to call.

Subject: ID No. 200400138, Edward and Robert Richards, Cape Lookout Marina, Carteret
County, NC
Dear Mr. Wicker:
This letter responds to your request, dated June 22, 2004, for the comments and concerns of the
U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) on the responses submitted by Mr. Roger Schecter on
behalf of the applicants, Edward and Robert Richards, for a Department of the Army (DA)
permit to construct the Cape Fear Marina on Harkers Island, Carteret County, North Carolina.
Mr Sehecter's responses address concerns expressed by the Service, by letter dated February 2,
2004, on Public Notice (PN) No. 200400138, dated December 4, 2003, for the subject project.
Our earlier comment and those given below are submitted in accordance with the Fish and
Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d), and section 7 of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543). They are to be used in
your determination of compliance with 404(b)(1) guidelines (40 CFR 230) and in your public
interest review (33 CFR 320.4) as they relate to the protection of fish and wildlife resources.
Revised Project Plans
Mr. Schecter's responses along with an Essential Fish Habitat Assessment, dated May 25, 2004,
stated that several changes have been made in the project plans since the initial permit
application. There is also a revised project narrative dated May 21, 2004. The number of wet
slips has been reduced from 50 to 42. The linear footage of floating dock for dry stack staging
has been reduced from over 600 feet to 285 feet. The canal dredging and bulkhead location have
been moved 40 feet to the west of the previous alignment and the bulkhead will terminate
approximately 40 feet from a shellfish resource identified by the North Carolina Division of
Marine Fisheries (NCDMF). The responses state that the shoreline of the marina would not alter
or impact the fringe wetland at the end of the eastern peninsular. The bulkhead along the
western peninsular would be moved to eliminate any loss of fringe marsh along this reach. The
proposed marina would still be marketed to boats between 25 and 40 feet in length and would,
over a period of 8-10 years, create two, dry stack buildings with a 540-boat capacity. The
development also continues to propose a dredged channel (distinct from the canal at the marina
site) from the marina across Eastmouth Bay to deeper water in Core Sound. The channel would
be 40 feet wide, 7,100 feet long (1.34 miles), and have a depth of five feet at mean low water (-
5.6 feet mean sea level).

Responses of Applicants to FWS Concerns
The Service is pleased that dredging, if it occurs, would incorporate the Service's guidelines for
the protection of manatees (Trichechus manatus). We are also pleased that notices would be
posted along the proposed channel regarding both sea turtles and manatees and that a no wake
zone would be incorporated into the facility's lease.
The primary concern of the Service was direct and indirect impact to areas of submerged aquatic
vegetation (SAV). The responses cite several studies indicating that no SAV occurs in the direct
footprint of the proposed channel. However, three of the studies are from the period of 1983 to
1988. The fourth study is a predictive mapping study published in 2001. While we do not
question the findings of these reports, we do note that SAV sampling by CZR, Inc. in July 2001
near in proposed channel found eelgrass (Zostera marina) at 5.5% (7 of 128) of the sites
sampled. Therefore, while the actual footprint of the proposed channel may avoid SAV beds, the
area near the channel contains SAV. The Field Investigation Report (FIR) of the North Carolina
Division of Coastal Management, dated October 31, 2003, stated, "aerial photography through
the years confirms the continued and dynamic presence of submerged aquatic vegetation with
Eastmouth Bay."
Remaining Service Concerns
The Service remains concerned about the permanent alteration of approximately 7.4 acres of
shallow estuarine bottoms in Eastmouth Bay. Depths along the proposed channel are currently
two to four feet at mean low water. Increasing the depth to five feet would change the physical
characteristics of these shallow bottoms. Even if the actual footprint of the channel does not
contain SAV, shallow, unvegetated, estuarine bottom are important fish habitat. These areas
provide habitat for demersal (bottom dwelling) fish species, such as sturgeons and flounders,
which live and feed in bottom sediment. Shore fishes are abundant in unvegetated shallows, but
they often migrate into adjacent weed beds and marshes, where there is greater protection and an
even richer supply of food.
The Service continues to have serious concerns about the secondary adverse impacts of the
revised project on the fish and wildlife resources of Eastmouth Bay. The project would create a
facility to maintain almost six hundred vessels, some of which would be 40 feet long. While all
vessels would not be in use at the same time, the facility would increase boat traffic across
Eastmouth Bay. This increase in boat traffic would create turbidity and subsequent
sedimentation for SAV and shellfish outside the actual channel alignment. The FIR stated that
"bay substrate is very fine and lends itself to re-suspension easily." The FIR also notes that
operation of the proposed marina could "cause the ongoing re-suspension of fines into the water
column with the associated changes to temperature, sunlight penetration, oxygen availability,
etc." The turbidity produced by channel dredging and marina operations may directly harm fish
population. The North Carolina Sea Grant [hereafter NCSG] (1966, p. A-32) states that:
"Increased turbidity can directly interfere with the feeding of certain fish species by
clogging gills of filter feeders and deposit feeders and inhibiting feeding for those species
that depend on visual cues to detect food. Sediment deposits can bury fish eggs, making
3
them nonviable and having a direct impact on fish reproduction. Sediment can also
disturb the benthic community, thus affecting the forage base."
The proposed channel still retains the potential to diminish the long-term viability of
nearby SAV and the organisms they support by altering natural currents and other
physical characteristics of the area. The important ecological functions provided by areas
of SAV are dependent on the physical and biological characteristics of surrounding areas
(NCSG 1996, p. A-28). Flow patterns or currents in shallow, sandy areas facilitate the
passive colonization of SAV by larval organisms. Areas of shallow sand and natural
flow characteristics are required for the proper functioning of seagrass meadows.
The Service shares the concern of the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF)
that the proposed channel may result in the creation of private connector channels. If the
proposed channel is created, other property owners may seek to construct access channel to the
marina channel. Such secondary access channel would further reduce shallow unvegetated
bottoms and could produce the direct loss of SAV areas. The applicant's response (No. 4) to the
NCDMF states that new basins are not likely along the shoreline of Eastmouth Bay. However,
this office currently has a permit application (Action ID No. 200400889) to review for Rose
Craft Marina which is on Harkers Island adjacent to Westmouth Bay. The permit application
seeks to add nine boat slips in an existing basin. While this marina is west of the proposed
marina, vessels could choose to travel east to use the proposed channel. The DCM investigation.
report for this marina expansion notes that SAV and shellfish leases are prevalent in Westmouth
Bay. Future developments similar to the Rose Craft Marina could, as suggested by the NCDMF,
result in future dredging through SAV areas to join with the proposed channel.
The adverse impacts of constructing the proposed channel and operating of a marina serving
boats up to 40 feet long would extend beyond the area of the actual channel. Furthermore, the
ability to monitor any deterioration of habitat values within the SAV beds would be costly and
difficult. The feasibility of adequately restoring the habitat values of SAV lost or degraded is
questionable. Areas of SAV require rather precise ranges of depth and flow conditions that are
not easily duplicated for compensatory mitigation purposes. The proposed dredged channel
creates the risk that SAV will be permanently lost in Eastmouth Bay.
The applicants state that the natural resources of Eastmouth Bay would benefit in the long run by
channeling boat traffic into the proposed dredged channel. This is seen as preferable to having
the vessels "wander where ever they may." The Service does not concur with this position. To
some extent the existing shallow water in Eastmouth Bay excludes larger boats which have
larger and more powerful motors. The FIR noted that skiffs of 17- and 19-feet were observed
moving through the bay during a site visit in October 2003. By increasing both the number and
size of vessels traversing Eastmouth Bay, the proposed marina and the dredged channel would
produce adverse environmental impacts which would not otherwise occur.
Service Recommendations
Considering the high value of fish and wildlife habitat within Eastmouth Bay, the Service would
recommend that a DA permit not be issued for dredging the proposed 1.34-mile channel. Areas
4
of SAV represent very important habitat and there are significant concerns that adequate in-kind
replacement of this habitat cannot be achieved in a manner that would benefit the resources
impacted by creation of the proposed channel. There is a risk that the proposed channel would
result in the permanent loss of this important fish and wildlife habitat. We believe that a marina
could be built. The size of boats served by this marina would be consistent with that of boats
that have historically used the existing access through Eastmouth Bay. Future planning should
consider a marina designed for boats that could access Core Sound without the need for a
dredged channel. We continue to believe that excavation of the 1.34-mile channel across
Eastmouth Bay may result in substantial and unacceptable impacts to aquatic resources of
national importance.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to comment on planning for this project. Please advise
us of any action taken by the Wilmington Corps District. If you have questions regarding these
comments, please contact Howard Hall at 919-856-4520, ext. 27 or by e-mail at <

Dear Mr. Dorney:

"ATER(?U?i??; Y;;?CIION
Reference the enclosed application of Edward and Robert Richards for Department of the
Army authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to construct a marina which includes
50 wet slips, 540 dry slips, dockage, basin and canal expansion, travel lift, ship's store,
workshop, parking, and 1.25 miles of new channel in Eastmouth Bay, at 401 Bayview Drive, on
the north side of Harker's Island, Carteret County, North Carolina. Your receipt of this letter
verifies your acceptance of a valid request for certification in accordance with Section
325.2(b)(ii) of our administrative regulations.
We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act. We have determined that a water quality certification is required under the
provisions of Section 401 of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. A Department of the Army
permit will not be granted until the certification has been obtained or waived.
In accordance with our administrative regulations, in most cases, 60 days after receipt of a
request for certification is a reasonable time for State action. Therefore, if you have not acted on
the request, or asked for an extension of time, by March 8, 2004, the District Engineer will deem
that waiver has occurred.
Thank you for your time and cooperation. Questions or comments may be addressed to me,
Henry Wicker, at the Wilmington Regulatory Field Office, telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
Henry Wic ter, Project Manager

The property is a 20.47-acre tract of land located on the north side of Harker's Island, at
401 Bayview Drive. The site consists of 10.6 acres of upland adjacent to Eastmouth Bay,
and 9.9 acres of wetlands and canal system within the bay. The north side of Harker's
Island is riddled with mosquito ditching, and this property is no exception. There are 4
unimproved mosquito ditches on the north east side of the property, and the main ditch to the
west that was improved to create a boat basin and canal prior to the onset of the CAMA in
1978. Several canals in this same area were likewise expanded during the years preceding
the LAMA.
The property line to the west is located in the center of a
less improved ditch. The north side of the tract is
_ primarily vegetated with Snartina alterniflora along the
lull ditches, for a width of approximately 8001. Peninsulas
created from the spoil of the original canal excavation line
-° both sides of the canal. A narrow fringe of Section 404
Wetlands lines the peninsulas and
the south side of the mosquito
L?? :"•i ditches. Landward of this fringe,
there are areas of high coastal r marsh that do not contain soils
sufficient to be designated as Section 404 wetlands, and yet do
interact with the waters of the bay. ' 'The remainder of the property is
upland, cleared, and previously disturbed.
vt u
The upland portion of the tract averages +5' msl, and is
vegetated with common grasses. As stated above, the basin,
canal, and residence were developed prior to 1978. The 1978
aerial photograph shows 15 trailers located on the peninsula area
14?_,v ?..
around the basin. According to the records, the basin and canal
were dug in anticipation of a federal project to be located within ""'" `
Eastmouth Bay. This project never came about. By the 1984
photography, most of the trailers were no longer present. The 1989 photography shows the
evolution of the site to a boat construction facility, and in fact there is
a vessel under construction shown on the photo.
The 1995 photography shows this operation '! d
continuing, and what appears to be the same
vessel under construction. By the 2000?'`??'``
photograph, and continuing to the resent the
commercial ventures are abandoned, and the
single residence and relic concrete pads from the s ;
previous businesses are all that remain.

During the years, previous property owners have engaged the review agencies in v
requests. In the mid 19801s, then owner Mr. Theodore Lang, DBA NML Shipbuilder
received 2 Notices of Violation (#87-01 and #86-64) from this division. The former
unauthorized excavation, and the latter was for unauthorized wetland fill. An apt
was submitted and circulated to the agencies during this time period request
construction of a new boat manufacturing facility, to include excavation and fill of w
facility buildings, and bulkheading. After receiving negative agency comme
application was retired on August 25, 1988. Also during the mid 1980's, there were
General Permits issued to Mr. Lang for
77,
maintenance excavation of the canal
and basin, a boat ramp, bulkhead, SWIM
subdivision, and pipeline of sorts. $FV
There is no indication on file as to
which of these permits were utilized.
Currently, n,,
there is a
residence with a septic tank, boat basin
and canal with failing bulkhead, and a
recently constructed small, private
dock.
The request on the table currently has
undergone review during the SEPA process via Environmental
Impact Statement. The Record of Decision was issued on August
22, 2002, and since that time the applicant has finalized the CAMA
The proposal is for the construction of a marina, comprised of 50 wet slips, 540 dry st,,
with a boardwalk around the perimeter of the basin, and floating and fixed dockage wit
the basin. Boats 25' to 40' in length are intended to use the facility. The basin is prop,
for expansion into the high ground and high marsh, as is the canal. Additionally, excava
of a new, 7100' channel is proposed, leading from the canal through Eastmouth Bay, to
deeper waters located within Back Sound.
Eastmouth Bay is not designated as a Primary Nursery Area. The waters are open to the
taking of shellfish, with a documented historic use, according to the NC DMF.
Approximately 1/? mile to the west of the project site within the eastern portion of Westmouth
Bay, there is a sizeable shellfish garden, operated by Carolina Atlantic Seafood Company.
The bay has a considerable population of Zostera marina. The waters carry a stormwater
classification of SA. The Carteret County Land Use Plan has classified the area as Limited
Transition, with all AEC's being classified as Conservation. The width of the bay is
approximately 900' across at the mouth of the canal, increasing as
one heads east.
The submitted plats show a section of wetlands on the peninsula to
the west labeled as "marginal coastal wetlands." These areas are in
transition, and while presently being supported mostly by
stormwater ponding, they are

Page 4
increasingly flooded by the canal to the west. The wetlands are not sufficiently active to be
considered jurisdictional under the CAMA presently. They are noted on the plat at the
request of the Division because of the long-term nature of major permits.
On June 04, 2002, two representatives of the Division of Coastal Management performed
informal sampling of Eastmouth Bay in the vicinity of the proposed access channel. The
results are as follows:

Aerial photography through the years confirms the continued and dynamic presence of
submerged vegetation within Eastmouth Bay. The aerials also reveal the fine composition of
the sediments, i.e., the 1995 photo shows a very turbid stream from the passing of a boat.
In July of 2001, the applicant had benthic samples taken 10' and 30' north and south of the
proposed channel centerline. A total of 128 sites were sampled. Zostera marina was found
at 5% of the sites, 3% within the proposed channel. The results are attached. The applicant
took dissolved oxygen levels as part of the SEPA process, which revealed 4.33 to 5.96 mg/l
within the canal during a 2 week time period between August 30 and Sept 15 (enclosed).
The specific proposal for this project is as follows:
In the general vicinity of the existing concrete pads, the applicant proposes to construct two
dry stack boat storage buildings, one to house 240 boats and the other to house 300 boats.
There will be a workshop for minor maintenance and repairs, a ship store, 6 restrooms,
showers, offices, fuel service, and a wastewater pumpout. Another 4 restrooms will be
provided within a building located on the peninsula to the west of the basin. The fuel
dispenser, holding tank, and pumpout are shown adjacent to the bulkhead in the southeast
corner of the basin. Asphalt parking is proposed adjacent to Island Road and along the
peninsula to the west. A total of 140 spaces are provided.
The proposal is to enlarge the existing septic system and pump across the street to another
septic field. This plan has received Carteret County Health Department approval.
Approximately 2375 gallons per day of potable water will be required for the marina
operation. This will be obtained from the local municipal system.
The existing, failing bulkhead is to be removed. The existing basin, 150' x 105', will be
enlarged to 285' x 1721. The existing 860' x 75' canal will be widened on both sides for the
end result of a canal 118' in width. The basin and canal will be stabilized with a new vinyl
or concrete bulkhead, totaling approximately 2700' in length. A "drop zone" with travel lift
to launch the boats from the dry stack facility is to be located on the east side of the basin.
This area will be approximately 260' x 60' on average, and will abut the bulkhead. Besides
the "drop zones" located within the basin, there are floating docks for offloading and
temporary mooring. The 7' wide floats total 120' in length, and the 6' wide float s total 590'
in length. There are 25 fixed finger docks proposed in the basin and canal, averaging 4' x
201, with 75 associated mooring pilings. Within the basin, 13 slips are proposed, and within
the canal 37 slips. The slips will accommodate boats fro m 25' to 40' in size.
There are 6 walkways proposed from the parting lot to the marina, averaging 45' to 50'
long, and 6' in width. A drip -thru boardwalk is proposed for a length of 1567' around the
perimeter of the basin, with a width of 6'. Overnight dockage will be allowed within the
basin and canal with a lease requiring a locked head.
Hydraulic dredging of the basin and canal are requested from the existing depth of -3.4' to
-4' nlw to a finished depth of -5' n1w. This area will be excavated wi th a box cut design for
equal bottom and top cut widths. A spoil area will be constructed in the area of the
proposed
Field Investigation Report
Cape Lookout Marina, Inc./Edward and Robert Richards
Page 6
dry stack buildings, with approximate dimensions of 350' x 310', with 7.5' of freeboard.
This facility will have the capacity for approximately 30, 139 cubic yards of material.
A smaller spoil area for future maintenance is proposed on the peninsula to the west of the
basin. This area will be approximately 310' x 60' with 7.5' of freeboard, and will
accommodate approximately 5167 cubic yards of material.
From the mouth of the existing canal for a distance of approximately 1501, there is an
unauthorized, informally excavated channel. Extending for another 1000'+ there is a less
defined area that shows evidence of prop wash. Aerial photography and field inspections
indicate this feature to average 9' to 15' in width. Current soundings show approximately
-2' at nlw.
The applicant is proposing to excavate a new channel from the mouth of the canal for a
distance eastward of 7100'. This feature is intended to connect to the existing -5' bottom
contour within Back Sound. The application states that current soundings within this area
average from -2.4' nlw to -3.9' nlw. The request is for a consistent bottom depth of -5' nlw.
The requested top width of the new channel is 40' for the entirety of the distance, with
bottom widths ranging from 19'-33'. Approximately 21,700 cubic yards of material will be
removed to accomplish this, with the anticipation of another 3900 cubic yards every 5 years.
This material will be removed hydraulically and deposited into the large spoil area initially,
using the maintenance area after the initial dig. It is anticipat ed that this spoil will be
removed from the site after drying. Twenty-six channel markers and 4 no-wake signs are
proposed along the 7100' channel.
The NC Division of Water Quality has approved a Stormwater Management Plan for this
proposed development. No Sedimentation/Erosion Control Plan has yet been submitted to
the Division of Land Resources.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The upland portion of this marina facility will require the grading and filling of 7.4 acres,
with a finished impervious area totaling <29% within 75' of Eastmouth Bay, and 25%
overall. Approximately 5135 sf of high marsh will be excavated by the widening of the
canal, which will also require the conversion of approximately 30, 749 sf of high ground to
an open water system. Approximately 2360 sf of low marsh will be excavated for the basin
expansion. This marsh is landward of the existing bulkhead that is functioning as a
breakwater. The remainder of the proposal will cause the filling of approximately 1600 sf of
high marsh. The area shown as marginal wetlands will be filled, but is not presently
considered to be interacting with the estuarine system. The canal, basin, and new channel
will require the disturbance of approximately 323,000 sf of shallow bottom habitat within the
system, 39,000 sf of which is maintenance excavation within the existing canal and basin.
The docking system will shade approximately 6380 sf of newly created open water system.
The 7100' of new excavation through Eastmouth Bay is clearly proposed within SAV ha bitat,
although it is possible that the activity may bypass the actual vegetation at the time of
dredging. While the
Field Investigation Report
Cape Lookout Marina, Inc./Edward and Robert Richards
Page 7
proposed channel is located within active shellf ish waters, the actual channel cut may not
disturb the resource. Turbidity will be an issue during excavation, as the bay substrate is
very fine and lends itself to re-suspension easily. Turbidity may also be a continuing issue as
impatient boaters on busy weekends utilize the shallower areas outside of the channel during
sufficient and semi-sufficient tides. This use could cause the ongoing re -suspension of fines
into the water column with the associated changes to temperature, sunlight penetration,
oxygen availability, etc. The project itself has the possibility to greatly increase the boating
use of Eastmouth Bay, with the addition of 590 boats. This impact extends to Cape Lookout,
the selling destination of the project, with the addition of several hundred weekend visitors.
Parking may be a problem, as the County requirements are .6 spaces for each wet or dry
slip, and 1 slip per employee. This formula would indicate the need for 354 slips plus those
for employees. The proposal, which maximizes available space, allots 140 spaces.
This project is proposed for phasing over an 8 -year period.

Summary
1
IA ",! .

The proposed development on Harkers Island is an upland wet slip/dry stack marina on a
previously developed site on Eastmouth Bay. Previous development of the site included
a multiple unit mobile home park with multiple septic tanks. This was later redeveloped
as a commercial boat building facility. The 20.47-acre development site consists of 10.6
acres of upland, 2.49 acres of canal and basin, and 7.38 acres of coastal wetlands.
- The proposed development includes enlarging the basin and canal; dredging a new
channel; constructing 50 wet slips; and, over an 8 to 10 year period, erecting two dry
stack buildings with a 540-boat capacity. The facility will market to boats between 25
and 40 feet in length.
An Environmental Assessment was submitted on March 26, 2001 and comments were
received from the Division of Coastal Management, Division of Marine Fisheries,
Shellfish Sanitation Branch, and Division of Water Quality. DEIS comments were
received from these agencies and the Division of Environmental Health, On-site
Wastewater Section and were responded to on January 25, 2002 and March 12, 2002.
State Clearinghouse review was initiated on April 19, 2002 through publication in the
State Bulletin. Comments from the Clearinghouse review were responded to and the
Final EIS was submitted to Clearinghouse on June 18, 2002. Clearinghouse review of
the FEIS was completed August 2, and the Record of Decision was issued on August 22,
2002. An Essential Fish Habitat Assessment has been completed and will be submitted
to th Corps of Engineers.
Existing Site
The proposed development on Harkers Island is an upland wet slip/dry stack marina on a
previously developed site. Previous development of the site included a multiple unit
mobile home park with multiple septic tanks. This was later redeveloped as a
commercial boat building facility. The boat works was mostly open with three large
concrete pads. Eroded banks on the basin/canal and drainage ditches from road culverts
to the east and west direct stormwater to surface waters. Three concrete pads comprising
1.07 acres are present in the southeast portion of the site. Combined with the house and
driveway in the same portion of the tract, the existing impervious cover of the 10.6-acre
upland area is 10.1 M.
All boat building and support facilities (except the concrete pads) have been removed
from the site. The site is 20.47 acres in total with 7.38 acres of coastal wetlands, a canal
and basin of 2.49 acres of water and 10.6 acres of upland area. There are an existing
residence, two approved septic tank sites, and an existing 75 foot wide, +/- 4 foot deep
MLW (4.6' MSL) upland canal connecting to Eastmouth Bay with a wooden bulkheaded
"T" basin measuring 150 x105 feet. (Note: NC Geodedic Survey reports that MLW is -
0.59 feet from MSL at Shell Point.)
An existing, unauthorized 150-foot "channel" runs northeast from the mouth of the canal
and extends for approximately 1,500 as a "kicked channel". It is variable in depth along
its length from -2.4 to -3 .9 feet MLW (-3.0' to 4.5' MSL) and is subject to shoaling at the
mouth of the existing canal. The "channel" and others in Westmouth Bay have existed at
least since 1978, as they are visible on DCM's 1978 aerial photograph of the area.
Pronosed Marina Development
The preferred alternative is a marina/dry stack and a proposed new channel 40 feet wide,
-5 feet NfLW (-5.6' MSL), and 7,100 feet long connecting to -5 feet MLW (-5.6' MSL) in
Eastmouth Bay. Aviodance, minimization and mitigation measures have been
incorporated in the proposed development.
o Impacts to 404 wetlands have been avoided through site design and 2,595
square feet of fringe coastal wetlands along the existing, upland canal will
be lost to dredging.
v Direct impacts to shellfish beds SAV have been avoided in proposed
channel alignment.
v The "preferred alternative" described in the Draft EIS was modified to
reflect agency comments as described in Alternative 7. The "preferred
alternative" was further modified based on additional agency comments
on the DEIS and incorporated in the FEIS.
o Impervious surface coverage has been reduced from 32.4% to 25%.
id
The DEIS reduced the number of wet slips from 85 to 75. Based on
comments, additional reduction of slips eliminates 25 slips for a proposed
total of 50 wet slips.
n The DEIS moved the slip footprint back from the mouth of the canal and
shellfish areas from 60 to 325 feet. In response to comments, the slip
footprint has been moved further back for a distance of 360 feet from the
canal mouth.
a Closure of shellfish areas has been avoided through the reduction in
number of wet slips to 50 and increasing the distance from the canal
mouth of 360 feet.
A locked head policy will be enforced and be incorporated into the
facility's lease agreement.
a Notices will be posted and guidelines adopted regarding sea turtle
protection and reporting of sightings.
® A Spill Prevention and Response Plan will be in place at the facility.
Existing wooden bulkhead material containing CCA (copper-chrome-
arsenate) will be removed and replaced with concrete and/or vinyl.
No Wake Zones for Eastmouth Bay and entrance channel will be proposed,
and a No Wake Policy will be incorporated into the facility's lease
agreements.
o Of the 132 sample sites, only two at the outer limits showed "sparce"
Zostera within the alignment. The outer portion of the proposed channel
alignment (eastern end of Harker's Island) has been shifted approximately
100 feet to the northeast providing additional buffer to sampled and
mapped SAV in the area.
v A Stormwater Management Plan has been approved by the Division of
Water Quality (SW8 030826).
The project proposes new dredging of the 1,650-foot segment to a consistent depth of -5
feet MLW (- 5.6 MSL) and width of 40 feet. This segment will continue eastward as new
dredging for a total distance of 7,100 feet, 5 feet deep and 40 feet wide, and the entire
length is referred to as the "proposed channel". Dredged widths at the bottom range
from 19.4 to 33.1 feet and 4.1 acres of bottom will be disturbed. A turbidity curtain will
be used at the mouth of the canal to protect coastal wetlands and shellfish.
The canal will be widened an additional 15-20 feet on the west bank to accommodate 37
wet slips and an additional 30 feet on the east bank (no wet slips). The final canal
dimensions will be 118 feet x 860 feet. The basin will also be enlarged to 172 feet x 285
feet and provide 13 wet slips and floating docks for staging, provisioning, fueling and
waste pump out. Two, 30-foot wide boat drop zones for dry stack access will be located
adjacent to the dry storage facility. The footprint of the basin/canal will be
approximately 156,330 sf. The canal and basin will be bulkheaded with concrete and/or
vinyl.
Of the 21,400 cubic yards of dredged material from the basin and canal, approximately
12,000 cubic yards will be used for building foundations, landscaping and initially for
berm construction on the southeast portion of the site to retain material from the channel
enlargement. The 19,500 cubic yards from new channel dredging will be hydraulically
placed in the upland bermed site (28,221 cubic yard capacity), de-watered and removed
by local contractors for residential and commercial landscaping.
Based on records of maintenance dredging for the Back Sound to Lookout Bight Channel
from the Corps of Engineers, maintenance volumes approach 20% of the original volume
on an average of every five years. Though the Navigation Branch has suggested that the
percentage and frequency would be lower in Eastmouth Bay, applying the 20% to the
proposed new channel volume would indicate a need for disposal of approximately 3,900
cubic yards. An area on the western peninsula has been set aside for future maintenance
volumes which has a capacity for 4,532 cubic yards. The diked spoil area would allow
for de-watering, and the material would be hauled off-site for landscaping and fill.
The proposed Marina will provide dockage for boats in the range of 25 to 40 feet. Dry stack
buildings will be constructed to the east of the basin in three phases over an eight to 10 year
period. Phase I will provide 50 wet slips, Phase II will add 300 dry stack units, and Phase
III will add 240 dry stack units. An area will be available for routine boat maintenance, such
as washing and engine care, but no major maintenance will be conducted. A ship's store
will be adjacent to the dry stack facility providing offices for the Harbor Master and
administrative activities as well as sales of boating and fishing supplies, drinks, groceries
and prepackaged foods. Public restrooms and shower facilities for dry stack customers will
also be located in the ship's store building. Access and parking will be located to the south
between the facility and Bayview Drive and to the west.
Water supply, estimated at 2,375 gallons per day, will be from the public system on Harkers
Island. Domestic wastewater will be treated in an approved on-site septic tank (capacity
of 600 gpd; County Health Department Improvement Permit # R 1628, June 22, 1999) and
a second approved septic tank (capacity of 1440 gpd; Improvement Permit # A 6613,
November 2, 2000) on an adjacent lot to the south, owned by the applicant. Wastewater
from the pump out facility from and other flows above the 2,040 gpd capacity will be
handled by an approved "Wastewater Storage and Transfer Facility" (estimated to be less
than 500 gpd). A locked head policy will be enforced and be incorporated in the slip leasing
document.
Spill response procedures will be written into a Spill Prevention and Response Plan, and put
in place at the Marina. These procedures will include information such as prevention,
materials management, a contingency plan, and response procedures including the steps to
take to secure leaks or stop migration of spilled oil; contact phone numbers of agencies,
contractors, fire department, etc.; and a list of materials available on site for spil l control and
clean up.
The proposed stormwater management system for the preferred alternative will includes a
combination of the following items allowed for development with 25% or less built upon
area. The design will include a 30-foot wide vegetative buffer from the mean high water
line, perpendicular from the shoreline. The stormwater management plan utilazes sheet flow
over vegetated areas as conveyance of treated stormwater runoff via 3 sand filters. The plan
has been approved by the Division of Water Quality (SW8 030826).

RE: C--:rvpv for SAV, shellfish, and bottom substrata near Harker's Island. Carteret County. North
Carolina.
Dear Mr. Schecter:
The purpose of this letter is to report the results of a survey for submersed aquatic vegetation
(SAV), shellfish, and bottom substrate (i.e. shellfish habitat) along a 7,400-foot alignment proposed
for dredging on the northeast side of Harker's Island, Carteret County, North Carolina.
Sampling Design: Thirty-two transects oriented perpendicular to a proposed 7,400-foot channel
centerline were provided to CZR. Transects were spaced 200 feet apart along
the western most 2,000 feet and 250 apart for the remainder of the alignment.
Transect #1 represents the western most transect and Transect #32 represents
the eastern most transect. Four sites were sampled along each transect. Site
#1 along each transect represents the most southern sample and site #4
represents the most northern sample. In relation to the proposed centerline
channel, site #1 was located 30 feet south, site #2 was located 10 feet south,
site #3 was 10 feet north, and site #4 was located 30 feet north. Sites 2 and
3 are in the proposed channel, while 1 and 4 are outside the channel.
Sampling Sites: A total of 128 sites were sampled for bottom substrate, and presence/absence
of living shellfish (oysters, clams, scallops) and SAV. Coordinates for sampling
sites were provided to CZR via e-mail on 20 July 2001 and depicted on plats
(produced by TRC Triangle, 19 July 2001, fiie: gps_transects.owg) received
by CZR on 23 July 2001.
Methodology: The presence/absence of shellfish and SAV were determined from samples
collected using a standard Ponar grab/dredge. Representative SAV was
collected to confirm species identification. An analysis of the bottom substrate
was conducted using North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF)
guidance (Attachment A) for strata identification. With additional guidance
(information via e-mail on 19 July 2001)from DMF, the analysis of the bottom
substrate was conducted using an aluminum pole and the following
designations: little or no penetration under force = hard substrate, moderate
penetration under force = firm, and penetration with little or no force = soft.
These criteria were used to designate low, medium, and high quality shellfish
habitat, as identified in the attached table. The presence/absence of shell
material also was noted from the Ponar grab sample and is noted in the
attached table.

Sampling Dates: Sampling occurred 23 July through 26 July 2001.
Sampling conditions: Turbidity did not allow visibility of the bottom substrate. Sampling occurred
over a variety of tides throughout the days. Scattered thunderstorms limited
field work on 23 and 24 July 2001. Wind was primarily from the south and
southwest at 10 to 20mph.
Summary: Sampling data are depicted in the attached Table 1 and summarized below.
SAV
• Eel grass (Zostera marina) was detected at seven (5%) of the 128
sampled sites. Sites with SAV were: (transect # - site #) 3-4, 4-1, 6-
-4r, `'r'-2, 27-3, 28'1, snd 3^-1. SAV ccvcrage as ronresonted in these
seven Ponar grab samples, was sparse. No other SAV species were
found.
• Two (3%) sites (27-2 and 27-3) of the 64 sites sampled within the
proposed channel contained SAV.
Shellfish
• No live shellfish were encountered from the sampled sites.
Bottom Substrate
Of the 128 sites sampled:
• - 15.6% were soft substrate with and without shell = low quality,
- 82.801'0 were firm substrate with and without shell = medium quality,
- 1.5% were hard substrate with and without shell = high quality.
• - 68.0% contained no shell fragments
- 19.5% contained few (less than 1 %) shell fragments
- 12.5% contained shell fragments
Of the 64 sites sampled within the proposed channel:
• - 19.0% were soft substrate with and without shell = low quality,
- 81.0% were firm substrate with and without shell = medium quality,
- 0.0% were hard substrate with and without shell = high quality.
• - 64.0°,10 contained no shell fragments
- 25.0°16 contained few (less than 1 %) shell fragments
- 11.0% contained shell fragments
Hopefully these data will assist you with this project. If you should have any questions about
the attached information, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,

Harker's Island, N. C.
We have received a request from Cape Lookout Marina Inc. by Edward F. Richards, to
comment about his project. We are adjacent property owners. We object to the proposal
due to the impact the project will have on our property and the environment.
Our property value will be greatly reduced due to the large size of both the wet marina
and dry stack facility.
Negative environmental issues of great concern are noise, storm water, boat pollution,
dredging, trash, lighting, septic tank problems and the destruction of wetlands.
The costs to the environment will be great, as this project will obviously have a negative
impact on shellfish, fish and other water resources.
Again, we are totally opposed to the project based on the negative impact on the
surrounding environment and our property.
Sincerely,
a h", ? ? • V ,U/,

Dear Gene :
As previously discussed, this letter provides notice to you of my proposal to construct a marina and dry
stack facility at 401 Bayview Drive, Harker's Island in Carteret County. The project, Cape Lookout Marina is
subject to review for a CAMA Major Development Permit. A copy of the application, project narrative and plat is
enclosed for your information.
As an adjacent riparian property owner, I am requesting that you provide me with comments on this
proposed work or indicate that you have no objections. Please respond as provided below and return a copy of this
letter to me.
Thank you, and please let me know if you have any questions. My day time telephone number is 434-385-
2331.
Sincerely,
