Dear Sirs:

This letter is in reference to your September 25, 1998 letter concerning the
Coastal Area Management Act permit (Permit No. 120-98) which was issued on
September 23, 1998 authorizing maintenance and renovation activities at the Cherry
Branch Ferry Facility (TIP No. F-2801) in Craven County. In your letter, you
requested relief from Permit Condition No. 1, which stated:
1) In order to protect anadromous fish populations, no in-water construction will
be permitted between February 15 and June 15 of any year without the prior
approval of the Division of Coastal Management, in consultation with the
Wildlife Resources Commission and the Division of Water Quality.
This condition was placed on the CAMA permit due to its inclusion on the
State 401 Water Quality Certification issued by the NC Division of Water Quality
(DWQ). Through coordination with the DWQ, we have been informed that on
October 5, 1998 the 401 Certification was modified eliminating the in-water
construction moratorium. Therefore, CAMA Permit No. 120-98 is hereby refined to
eliminate Permit Condition No. 1, so long as turbidity curtains are utilized during the
construction of all new bulkheads and breakwater structures.
This letter of refinement must be attached to the original of Permit No. 120-98,
and both documents must be readily available on site when a Division representative
inspects the project for compliance. All conditions and stipulations of the original
permit, with the exception of the Condition No. 1, remain in force. If you should have

SUBJECT: Craven County, Improvements to Cherry Branch Ferry Terminal;
TIP No. F-2801; State Project No. 6.171034.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has received approval, under a
Coastal Resources Commission Major Development Permit (Permit No. 120-98), to renovate the
Cherry Branch Ferry terminal at Cherry Branch, NC. The NCDOT has also received a Section
401 Water Quality Certification from-the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ). As
outlined in the referenced Water Quality Certification, the Major Development Permit prohibits
in-water construction from February 15 to June 15 in any year.
The NCDOT has contacted the DWQ as well as the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (WRC) regarding the in-water work moratorium. It was determined that the use of
turbidity curtains in conjunction with the proposed construction methods would be sufficient to
allow in-water work to continue through the period of February 15 to June 15. As described in
the original permit application, the NCDOT will utilize turbidity curtains during the construction
of all new bulkhead and br er soaau ring the replacement of all mooring
clusters. Therefore, t CDOT requests that the exists *or Development Permit and
Section 401 Water uality Certification be modified to allo« i -water work from February 15 to
June 15.

SUBJECT: Craven County, Improvements to Cherry Branch Ferry Terminal;
TIP No. F-2801; State Project No. 6.171034.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to renovate the Cherry
Branch ferry terminal near Cherry Point in Craven County, North Carolina. The project
will involve filling and excavating below ordinary high water (OHW), shoreline
stabilization with rip-rap, replacing and extending two existing bulkheads, replacing
existing dolphins, adding a maintenance ramp and replacing an existing breakwater. All
proposed improvements are depicted in the attached drawings.
A field review of the proposed project was held April 30, 1998. Representatives from the
NCDOT and the Division of Coastal Management (DCM) were present. It was
determined that this project may be authorized by a CAMA Major Development Permit.
As requested by the DCM, the lengths of bulkhead replacement and extension,
breakwater replacement, and shoreline stabilization have been totaled separately. They
are shown in Table 1. A description of the proposed work follows Table 1.

• New bulkheads will be installed at two locations. Along the eastern side of the basin
a new bulkhead will be installed for a length of 694.4 feet. In the southeastern corner
35.0 linear feet of bulkhead will be installed. Both new bulkheads will be constructed
of steel sheet pile. Mooring clusters will be installed at approximately 40.0 foot
intervals along a 369.4 foot section of new bulkhead along the eastern side of the
basin. The new mooring clusters will consist of three timber piles and will be used to
moor vessels during storm events. Turbidity curtains will be utilized at these
locations during construction.
• The existing breakwater at the southern end of the basin will be removed and
replaced. The new breakwater will be 377.3 feet in length. The existing 84 inch pipe
will also be removed and replaced. Mooring clusters will also be installed at 40.0
foot intervals. Turbidity curtains will also be utilized at this location during
construction.
• Additionally, bulkhead replacement will be accomplished at two locations. In the SW
corner of the basin 191.5 linear feet of existing bulkhead will be removed and
replaced with steel sheet pile. Mooring clusters, as described above, and a new
maintenance ramp will also be installed at this location. On the northern end of the
basin 395.2 feet of existing bulkhead will be removed and replaced with steel sheet
pile. Turbidity curtains will be utilized during construction at these locations.
• This project will also require 660.0 feet of shoreline stabilization. This will be
accomplished by placing rip-rap along the shoreline at a 2:1 slope on the inland side
and a 3:1 slope along the water. A filter fabric and backfill will be placed along the
inland slope of the rip-rap to bring the elevation to 8.0 feet. The 3:1 slope is required
to disperse energy during an increase in water level. Excavation of approximately
205.0 cubic yards (.03 ac) of earth below the normal water surface will be required.
• Existing creosote timber dolphins will be removed and replaced with steel tube piles
in their existing locations.
The NCDOT hereby requests issuance of a CAMA Major Permit for this project.
Enclosed please find a project site map, a CAMA Major Development Permit application,
permit drawings, and a voucher letter from the Division of Coastal Management in the
amount of $250.00 for the CAMA processing fee.
It is anticipated that construction of this project will be authorized under a Department of
the Army Nationwide Permit No. 28 or a General Permit No. 291. By copy of this letter,
we are requesting a Department of the Army Nationwide Permit No. 28 or General
Permit No. 291 and the applicable 401 Water Quality Certification from the N. C.
Division of Water Quality. If you have any questions or need any additional information,
please contact Mr. Lindsey Riddick at [phone] extension 315.

Dear Mr. Dorney:
Please reference the application of the NC Department of Transportation for Department
of the Army (DA) authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to renovate the Cherry
Branch ferry terminal facility, located off North Carolina Highway 306, adjacent to the Neuse
River, near Cherry Point, in Craven 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, and we have determined that a water quality certification is required under the
provisions of Section 401 of the same law. 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 September 15, 1998, the District Engineer
will deem that waiver has occurred.

8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The NCDOT Ferry Division proposes to renovate the Cherry Branch ferry
terminal near Cherry Point in Craven County. The applicant proposes to place rock along the
shoreline, extend the existing bulkhead, replace an existing breakwater, add a maintenance ramp, and
install dolphin clusters for mooring.
FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
NCDOT (Cherry Branch Ferry)/CRAVEN COUNTY
PAGE ##2
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
Project Setting
The North Carolina Department of Transportation's Ferry Division operates a ferry link
crossing the Neuse River along NC 306 between Cherry Branch in Craven County and
Minnesott Beach in Pamlico County. The ferry terminal operates 7 days a week, 365 days a
year, and during peak periods provides three trips/hour each way. The Minnesott Beach
terminal was permitted for renovation in 1995 and the project has since been completed. This
proposal is for renovation to the Cherry Branch terminal.
The Cherry Branch Ferry terminal is an upland-basin facility with a single loading ramp.
Although the basin is bulkheaded along the entire western shoreline, much of the bulkhead
along the entrance channel is in disrepair. There is a steel sheetpile breakwater/jetty (with
concrete cap) originating from the eastern point of land adjacent to the entrance channel and
extends some 400' out into the Neuse River. A wooden breakwater is located at the southern
end of the basin and runs the width of the basin. A small feeder stream/branch and associated
wetlands are located behind the breakwater. An 84" pipe installed through the solid
breakwater allows for drainage of the system. The eastern shoreline of the basin itself is
unprotected. Severe erosion of the shoreline occurred during the hurricanes of 1996 and has
continued to erode at an accelerated rate. Ferry prop wash has not helped the erosion problem
either. Erosion is estimated at 5' to 10' per year. Failure of the bulkhead at western point has
resulted in approximately 35' of land being lost to erosion over the past few years.
Within the basin itself, there are 15 dolphin clusters used for mooring ferries when not
in operation. A maintenance ramp for loading equipment is located along the western side of
the basin and is essentially a dip in the bulkhead which facilitates loading and offloading of
equipment from NCDOT's maintenance barges.
Project Description
The applicant proposes to renovate the Cherry Branch ferry terminal near Cherry Point
in Craven County. The project involves filling and excavating below normal water level,
stabilizing the shoreline with rip rap, replacing and extending two existing bulkheads,
replacing existing and adding new dolphins, adding an additional maintenance ramp, and
replacing an existing breakwater. Specifically, the applicant proposes the following
development:
1) Install a new steel sheetpile bulkhead at two locations. This includes the
installation of 595 feet of new bulkhead along the eroded eastern shoreline. The
alignment approximates the normal water line (NWL) on average. Although much
of the bulkhead is proposed above the NWL as shown on plats 4 and 5 of 16, there
is an area near the end of the breakwater/jetty where erosion is most severe
(opposite the ferry ramp), and the bulkhead alignment along this section is some
20' waterward of the NWL. Along the southwest comer of the basin near the

wooden breakwater, 35' of new bulkhead would also be installed and would be
located above the NWL. Ten, three-piling mooring dolphins would be installed at
40-foot intervals along the eastern bulkhead.
2) Replace the existing breakwater at the southern end of the basin. The new
breakwater would be 377' in length and is proposed to be constructed 5' landward
of the old structure. And similar to the old breakwater, an 84" pipe would
facilitate water exchange between the stream/adjacent wetlands and the basin area.
Nine, three-piling mooring dolphins would be installed at 40' intervals along the
breakwater.
3) Replace deteriorating bulkhead at two locations. Approximately 192 feet of
bulkhead would be replaced along the same alignment in the southwest comer of
the basin. Four, three-piling mooring dolphins would be installed at 40' intervals
along this section of the bulkhead as well. Along the northern end of the
bulkhead, another 395 feet of bulkhead would be replaced but at a 5' waterward
alignment. The existing structure would be left in place and gravel fill placed
between the old and new structures.
4) Stabilize approximately 600' of shoreline on the western side of the entrance
channel with rock. A 2:1 slope on the inland side and a 3:1 slope along the water
is proposed. Filter fabric and backfill would be placed along the inland slope of
the rip rap bringing the elevation of the structure to 8'. According to the
applicant, a 3:1 slope is necessary to dissipate the wave energy which occurs
during high water and rough weather. An area of high ground approximately 22'
X 55' in size would be removed/excavated to round off the irregular shaped and
eroding shoreline at the "point" (as a result of the failed bulkhead). Also,
according to the applicant's plat #11 of 16, in the area adjacent to the entrance
channel, the rock would be placed an average distance waterward of the existing
bulkhead of 38'. This alignment would be for a length of approximately 180'.
The alignment for the rest of the rock along the northern shoreline (approximately
400') would be 5' waterward of the NWL.
5) Install another "maintenance" ramp to facilitate loading/offloading of heavy
equipment on NCDOT barges. According to the applicant, this only involves the
lowering of the bulkhead in the "ramp" area.
6) Replace all existing creosote timber pilings with steel tube piles within their same
footprint.
The applicant proposes to use turbidity curtains as appropriate during all construction.

Anticipated Impacts
Installation of the two new bulkheads (629') along the eastern and southern perimeter of
the basin along with the replacement of the bulkhead at the southwestern corner would result in
the filling of approximately 2,600 f' of estuarine waters. Associated with the installation of
these bulkheads would be another 14,400 fe of high ground disturbance. Replacement of the
existing breakwater should have only minimal and construction-related impacts to the wetlands.
Although some impacts to the wetlands located immediately behind the old breakwater yet in
front of the new breakwater could be expected to occur over time. The l'-wide footprint of
the breakwater would directly remove 310 fe of wetlands. The replacement of 395' of
bulkhead along the northen end of the basin at a 5' replacement alignment would impact
approximately 1,875 fe of estuarine waters. As before, another 6,880 fe of high ground
would be disturbed by the backfilling activities.
Approximately 1,200 ft2 of high ground would be excavated/removed to facilitate
installation of the rock rip rap along the northern point. And given the 38' proposed alignment
(as measured from the toe of the rock) along the entrance channel and the 5' alignment of the
rip rap to the west of the entrance channel, approximately 8,500 ff of shallow sandy bottom
and estuarine waters would be filled. Another 18,100 fe of high ground would be disturbed as
a result of the placement of the rock and the associated backfill.
To summarize the excavation and filling impacts, it appears that the overall project
would remove 1,200 fC of high ground and would fill approximately 12,975 fe of estuarine
waters by the placement of the rip rap, bulkheads and associated backfill. There would be
approximately 39,380 fC of high ground disturbance associated with the backfilling activities.
Also there would be 310 fe of wetlands removed as a result of the replacement of the
breakwater. The total area affected would be 53,865 fe.
The placement of the mooring dolphins adjacent to the bulkhead and breakwater would
formalize docking spaces for the ferries when not in use and as a bad weather mooring site.
The "maintenance ramp" could potentially create some increased use at the facility. However,
since the facility is in a high ground basin, there should be negligible impact on navigation and
the boating public. As always with bulkhead, rip rap and piling installation, some increase in
turbidity would be expected. The applicant has committed to the use of turbidity curtains
throughout the project.

SUBJECT: Craven County, Improvements to Chem. Branch Ferry Terminal;
TIP No. F-2801; State Project No. 6.171034.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to renovate the Cherry
Branch ferry terminal near Cherry Point in Craven County, North Carolina. The project
will involve filling and excavating below ordinary high water (OHW), shoreline
stabilization with rip-rap, replacing and extending two existing bulkheads, replacing
existing dolphins, adding a maintenance ramp and replacing an existing breakwater. All
proposed improvements are depicted in the attached drawings.
A field review of the proposed project was held April 30, 1998. Representatives from the
NCDOT and the Division of Coastal Management (DCM) were present. It was
determined that this project may be authorized by a CAMA Major Development Permit.
As requested by the DCM, the lengths of bulkhead replacement and extension,
breakwater replacement, and shoreline stabilization have been totaled separately. They
are shown in Table 1. A description of the proposed work follows Table 1.

This project will also require 660.0 feet of shoreline stabilization. This will be
accomplished by placing rip-rap along the shoreline at a 2:1 slope on the inland side
and a 3:1 slope along the water. A filter fabric and backfill will be placed along the
inland slope of the rip-rap to bring the elevation to 8.0 feet. The 3:1 slope is required
to disperse energy during an increase in water level. Excavation of approximately
205.0 cubic yards (.03 ac) of earth below the normal water surface will be required.
Existing creosote timber dolphins will be removed and replaced with steel tube piles
in their existing locations.
The NCDOT hereby requests issuance of a CAMA Major Permit for this project.
Enclosed please find a project site map, a CAMA Major Development Permit application,
permit drawings, and a voucher letter from the Division of Coastal Management in the
amount of $250.00 for the CAMA processing fee.
It is anticipated that construction of this project will be authorized under a Department of
the Army Nationwide Permit No. 28 or a General Permit No. 291. By copy of this letter,
we are requesting a Department of the Army Nationwide Permit No. 28 or General
Permit No. 291 and the applicable 401 Water Quality Certification from the N. C.
Division of Water Quality. If you have any questions or need any additional information,
