The proposed project does require a 401 Water Quality Certification but does meet the requirements of General Certification No. 1273 for discnarge of l?quid?ffluerrt-from-ar?txpland-c?rk-a disposal area. b. According to information from Shellfish Sanitation, an additional 25 feet of closure in open shellfishing waters will occur should the expansion of the marina to 57 slips be approved. C. Information from the Division of Marine Fisheries indicates that Brown Creek has an existing shellfish resource. While the additional area to be closed does not contain a shellfish resource, other areas nearby which do have an existing shellfish resource may likely be affected by pollutants from the expanded marina. If these areas are eventually closed due to the marina, Antidegradation Policy would be violated. - 2 - d. Should the expansion be allowed, the following should be addressed in the CAMA permit: 1. Any discharge of sewage into these SA waters is prohibited and would be a violation of SA water quality standards. 2. A locked-head policy shoul d be required and strictly enforced. 3. A pumpout facility should be available and signs posted on the docks notifying users of the locked-head policy and location of the pumpout. 4. Live-aboards should not be allowed. 5. Development on shore which is not included in this application should be submitted as a major modification so that stormwater evaluations can be made.

PROJECT SUMMARY: Applicant proposes to expand existing marina from 31 slips to 57 slips and perform maintenance dredging. FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT - SOUND PACKING COMPANY (BOB COWDEN) PAGE #2 9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The applicant's'property is a 1.5 acre tract located at the end of SR 1326, near Brown and Coffey (Lindsey) Creeks, near Whortonsville, in Pamlico County. The property has been historically used primarily as a fish processing and shipping facility. However, it appears the project is making the transition from a commercial fishing operation to a commercial marina. The applicant received CAMA/Dredge & Fill Permit #85-85, on June 11, 1985, and all new proposed work under this new application is for a revised major modification to the existing permit. Also, a CAMA Minor Development Permit for piling placement was issued several years ago. The current Major Permit #85-85, and a prior modification authorized a 241' bulkhead, pier expansion, and finger pier construction. The waters of Browns Creek and Lindsey Creek are designated as Primary Nursery Areas by the Division of Marine Fisheries. The existing main pier is situated outside of the Primary Nursery Areas, but the'existing dock on the east side is located within the nursery area of Lindsey Creek. There is a 150' area extending from all of the existing docks which is closed (effective 3/14/88) to shellfishing by t-r Diwis o-n-o-Hee-1t-i-Ser?ices. A4-1-at-he-r-w-ate-r-s-a to the marina are classified "SA" by the Division of Environmental Management. The applicant proposes to perform maintenance dredging with a hydraulic dredge in a 300' x 200' area, and remove approximately 10,444 cu. yds. of material. The existing water depths range from 1' to 5Z' to 61. The applicant is requesting a uniform depth of -6' normal water level (NWL). The spoil materials are proposed to be pumped to farmland east of the project. A portion (approximately 250' x 101) of the proposed maintenance dredging is within the Primary Nursery Area of Lindsey Creek. The proposed maintenance dredging area has reportedly been dredged in the past but no permits exists under the previous owner's name, Wilson Whorton. In addition to the "maintenance" dredging, the applicant also proposes to increase the number of slips from the current number of 31 up to a total of 57 slips. This request will increase the effective length of the pier (by tie pilings extending out 40' from the existing pier) to a total of 305' from the bulkhead. The proposed increase in the number of slips is to be accomplished by adding . approximately 46 new tie pilings and 12 new finger piers. FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT - SOUND PACKING COMPANY (BOB COWDEN) PAGE #3 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The proposed hydraulic dredging will disturb approximately 60,000 sq. ft. of shallow water bottom and place approximately 10,444 cu. yds. of sand, clay and mud on a diked spoil disposal area in an existing agricultural field. Productive shellfish areas have been delineated by the Division of Marine Fisheries in Browns Creek within 3/4 of a mile of this proposed project. The proposed new slips will increase the existing 31 slips to 57 slips total. The new slips will be created by the placement of 46 new tie pilings and 12 new finger piers. The water depths of the total proposed project is proposed for -6'NWL. The proposed tie pilings which would be placed 40' out from the existing pier could possibly create some navigational problems for in and out of Lindsey Creek. No wetlands are proposed to be excavated or filled, and at this time, no new upland development is proposed. PREPARED BY: W. DAVID NOBLE DATE: MARCH 31, 1988 l ?[ ) (0 1 1 ` Please type or print.

PROJECT SUMMARY: Applicant proposes to expand existing marina from 31 slips to 57 slips and perform maintenance dredging. I FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT - SOUND PACKING COMPANY (BOB COWDEN) PAGE #2 9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The applicant's property is a 1.5 acre tract located at the end of SR 1326, near Brown and Coffey (Lindsey) Creeks, near Whortonsville, in Pamlico County. The property has been historically used primarily as a fish processing and shipping facility. However, it appears the project is making the transition from a commercial fishing operation to a commercial marina. The applicant received CAMA/Dredge & Fill Permit #85-85, on June 11, 1985, and all new proposed work under this new application is for a revised major modification to the existing permit. Also, a CAMA Minor Development Permit for piling placement was issued several years ago. The current Major Permit #85-85, and a prior modification authorized a 241' bulkhead, pier expansion, and finger pier construction. The waters of Browns Creek and Lindsey Creek are designated as Primary Nursery Areas by the Division of Marine Fisheries. The existing main pier is situated outside of the Primary Nursery Areas, but the existing dock on the east side is located within the nursery area of Lindsey Creek. There is a 150' area extending from all of the existing docks which is closed (effective 3/14/88) to shellfishing by the Division of Health Services. All other water-s_adj-acer?t ---- to?#he_mar3r?a-awe-elassif3ed-"A"-by the Division of Environmental Management. The applicant proposes to perform maintenance dredging with a hydraulic dredge in a 300' x 200' area, and remove approximately 10,444 cu. yds. of material. The existing water depths range from 1' to 52' to 6'. The applicant is requesting a uniform depth of -6' normal water level (NWL). The spoil materials are proposed to be pumped to farmland east of the project. A portion (approximately 250' x 101) of the proposed maintenance dredging is within the Primary Nursery Area of Lindsey Creek. The proposed maintenance dredging area has reportedly been dredged in the past but no permits exists under the previous owner's name, Wilson Whorton. In addition to the "maintenance" dredging, the applicant also proposes to increase the number of slips from the current number of 31 up to a total of 57 slips. This request will increase the effective length of the pier (by tie pilings extending out 40' from the existing pier) to a total of 305' from the bulkhead. The proposed increase in the number of slips is to be accomplished by adding approximately 46 new tie pilings and 12 new finger piers. FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT - SOUND PACKING COMPANY (BOB COWDEN) PAGE #3 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The proposed hydraulic dredging will disturb approximately 60,000 sq. ft. of shallow water bottom and place approximately 10,444 cu. yds. of sand, clay and mud on a diked spoil disposal area in an existing agricultural field. Productive shellfish areas have been delineated by the Division of Marine Fisheries in Browns Creek within 3/4 of a mile of this proposed project. The proposed new slips will increase the existing 31 slips to 57 slips total. The new slips will be created by the placement of 46 new tie pilings and 12 new finger piers. The water depths of the total proposed project is proposed for -6'NWL. The proposed tie pilings which would be placed 40' out from the existing pier could possibly create some navigational problems for in and out of Lindsey Creek. No wetlands are proposed to be excavated or filled, and at this time, no new upland development is proposed. PREPARED BY: W. DAVID NOBLE __________--_----------- -DATE-:--MAR-C-H --3-1-19$8 - F ??

The Federal agencies have completed review of the proposal as presented by the application and your field investigation report. We recommend that the following conditions be included in the State authorization: a. All excavated materials will be confined landward of the normal water elevation contour within adequate dikes or other retaining structures to prevent spillover of solids into any vegetated wetlands or surrounding waters. b. The terminal end of the pipeline from the dredge into the diked retention area will be positioned at or greater than 50 feet from any part of the dike and a maximum distance from spillways to prevent dike erosion and to allow adequate settlement of suspended solids. c. A water control structure will be installed at the intake end of the effluent pipe leading from the retention area in order to ensure maximum settlement of suspended solids. -2- d.' Flow from the diked retention area will be confined by pipe, trough, or similar device to a point at or below the normal water elevation contour to prevent gully erosion and siltation. e. No vegetated wetlands will be excavated or filled. f. Excavation will not exceed 6 feet below the elevation of normal water. g. The permittee will maintain the authorized work in good condition and in conformance with the terms and conditions of this permit. The permittee`is not relieved of this requirement if he abandons the permitted activity without having it transfered to a third party. h. The authorized structure and associated activity will not cause an unacceptable interference with navigation. i. The activity will be conducted in such a manner as to prevent a significant increase in turbidity outside the area of construction or construction-related discharge. Increases such that the turbidity in the waterbody is 50 NTU's or less are not considered significant. Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Ernest Jahnke, Phone-(9 r9-)-3-4-3-4*6 7 .
