SECRETARY RECEIVED ,ACT 2 Q 1995 eNVIRONMeNrAL ScleNCcS Subject: Dare County, Bulkhead Replacement at the North Dock Hatteras Ferry Basin, State Project No. 6.051031. Pursuant to our recent telephone conversation, find enclosed a copy of the CAMA Permit application, drawings, adjacent property owner letter and a copy of the fee check for the above referenced project. We will send you the green cards as soon as they are received. The proposed action will include the demolition and replacement of a portion of the eastern bulkhead at the Hatteras Ferry Docking Facility. The bulkhead is failing at several locations and is in dire need of repair. The portion of the bulkhead to be replaced is 200 feet long and will require the excavation of approximately 100 cubic yards of material. This excavation will be conducted on the adjacent property to the east owned by Paley-Midget Partnership. Therefore, they are a co-applicant for this permit request. Find enclosed a copy of the letter from their company authorizing NCDOT to be the agent for acquiring this permit. The NCDOT is requesting that the proposed work be authorized under a Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) permit. By copy of this letter we are requesting the review and issuance of a 401 Water Quality Certification from the NC Division of Environmental DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS P.O. BOX 25201. RALEIGH.

It is my understanding that the bulkhead will be installed where the failed wooden structure now stands. Additionally, it is my understanding that we will be allowed to install conduit to create a thru-way in the poured cap of the bulkhead to facilitate tie- backs for our proposed bulkhead. Mr. Lyn Small is to forward drawings for the tie-back location early next week. We appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on your proposed project. As adjacent property owners in close proximity to one another, and at a location with the. dynamics of the Hatteras basin, it requires that we be ever conscious of and cooperate fully with our neighbors. We look forward to a continued concerted effort to work together in the future. Sincerely, ' othy W.

DEM has no objection to the 165 foot portion of tall bulkhead along the existing high ground or the breakwater. However, we have concerns about the 224 feet of shaft bulkhead wamTward of the existing marsh near Austin Creek. The short bulkhead will hinder the use of the marsh by aquatic organisms and eliminate the shanow water tgt WtIon fia the marsh which is important to many small fishes and other aquatic organisms.. Wave reflection off the bulkhead may actually deepen the water near the structuue_ Also the proposed backfiA will eventlally erode away by tidal action and may cause further frllung at the mouth of Austin Creek as ebb tides run behind the bulkhead. The loss of backfill and scouring in front of the bulkhead may lead to a premature failure of the structure. The permitted rip rap would maintain the shallow water habitat and actually improve the habitat for marry aquatic organisms. the rip rap would also allow more natural flashing of the marsh behind it. Therefore DEM recommends: The 224 foot of short bulkhead should not be allowed in lieu of the permitted rip rap. x. The 165 foot of tali bulkhW should be tied back into high ground at both ends to contain the bacM.

SUBJECT: NC DOT -Paley Midgett Project -Minor Modification permit #115.94 BATE: 8 September 1995 The following comments by the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries are provided pursuant to General Statute 113-131. This agency feels that'ihis modification constitutes a major modification to the project. However, the Division approves of this proposal with the following modifications. It is difficult to determine from the plats what the proposed gaps are for the 150 feet of breakwater. If this is a I inch gap at every 12 feet, it is not adequate for water exchange nor fish and invertebrate passage between the shoreline and the breakwater. This agency recommends one breakwater sheetpile be left out of the breakwater every 8 feet, This would provide adequate water exchange and allow fish passage to occur. Both of the sections of bmakwater(130 feet and 20 feet) should not tie into the proposed bulkhead, a separation between the two should exist. The Division feels that the proposed 384 feet of bulkhead should be modified as follows. The 52 foot long bulkhead return wall through the marsh is extremely excessive, extending approximately 40 feet. This section of bulkhead is proposed to be at the 4 foot height, which would cut of this coastal wetland ages, Is this proposed to be filled? If so this would result in the loss of coastal wetlands. The length of the return wall should be reduced significantly. The height of the bulkhead should be reduced to allover the ebb and flow of the tides through the wetlands. The proposed 56 foot bulkhead section in approximately the middle of the project, cannot be determined if this is proposed at the 4 foot height or the 2 foot height. This section of bulkhead should be at a low enough level to allow'tidal exchange between the marsh and the sound. The alignment of the bulkhead should be adjusted so that all wetland area is behind the low water bulkhead. At the transition point between the fill placed on the high ground and the wetlands, there is no proposal to P.O.

This bulkhead should be constructed to ensure that the ebb and flow of the wetlands during the tidal cycles is not hindered. No fill should be placed in these wetland areas.

Placement of the return wall should be minimum necessary to prevent erosion - behind the proposed bulkhead. The section of bulkhead where the return wall will be located is to be four (4) feet above meat high water and should not require a 52' return wall. 2) Installation of a return wall where the transition occurs from the high bulkhead (4' above NWT.,) to the low bulkhead (2' above NWL) or CAMA approved method to prevent surface runoff of fill material into adjacent waters. 3) The bulkhead must be structurally tight so as to prevent seepage of backfill materials through the structure. 4) The bulkhead must be installed prior to any baakfill activities. 5) All fill material shall be placed mi open water behind the bulkhead. No fill activities may take place in the wetlands. b) Wooden mats shall be used to protect the wetlands from the adverse impacts of equipment during construction. 1367 US. 17 south, Mcco eth Cliy.

Schecter, Director RECEIVED MEMORANDUM: AUG 161995 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES TO: John Dorney FROM: Lynn Mathis SUBJECT: Minor Modification Request for Permit #115-94 DATE: August 11, 1995 On September 28, 1994, NC Department of Transportation (NCDOT) was issued CAMA Major Permit #115-94 to install 480' of riprap for shoreline protection along the Paley-Midgett property in Hatteras. The property in questions forms the northeastern shoreline of the ferry terminal turning basin. Information submitted by the property owners indicates that 20 to 30 feet of shoreline has been lost since 1990. The permit issued to NCDOT was for the placement of riprap along the approximate limit of the 1990 shoreline and backfill in an attempt to reclaim the lost property. The amount of riprap and fill material to be placed below mean high water under the current permit is 325 cubic yards and the amount of fill permitted above mean high water is 170 cubic yards for a total of 495 cubic yards. The riprap and fill is permitted to extent one (1) foot above mean high water and filled even with the adjacent marsh. The total amount of fill material and riprap permitted for placement above and below mean high water along the shoreline is 495 cubic yards. On July 25, 1995, the Elizabeth City Field Office for the Division of Coastal Management received a request from NCDOT to modify the permit in question. The modification would allow the use of a bulkhead and breakwater system instead of riprap. The alternate system being proposed is intended to prevent the possibility of riprap from sloughing into the adjacent access channel and to reduce the angle of intersect of the Hatteras Landing Marina Channel and the Ferry Channel. By moving the shoreline protection system closer to the shore the marina channel can be straightened thereby reducing the hazards to boating traffic. The modification request submitted by NCDOT, as shown on the plat submitted, will extend along 534' of shoreline and will consist of 384' of bulkhead and 150' of breakwater. The bulkhead will extend four (4) feet above the normal water line for a distance of 165'. 1367 U.S. 17 South, Elizabeth City, North Carolina 27909 Telephone 919-264-3901 FAX 919-264-3723 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/ 10% post-consumer paper August 11, 1995 Page Two The remaining 219' will extend two (2) feet above the normal water line. According to the plans backfill will be placed even with the top of the bulkhead in both sections. The plan as submitted does not address the transition point from the 4' bulkhead to the 2' bulkhead or erosion that may occur at this point. Approximately 130 cubic yards of fill material will be placed below mean high water and 600 cubic yards will be placed above mean high water. The 52' return wall of the bulkhead on the northwest end will extend approximately 40' into the existing coastal wetlands, and on the southeast end the return wall will extend four (4) feet into the salt marsh. The bulkhead will also cross a 35' section of coastal wetlands. Two sections of breakwater will be used in conjunction with this project and will tie into to the proposed bulkhead. Along the northwest end of the system the breakwater will extent 130' around the point along the Pamlico Sound and will be installed 10' waterward of the mean high water line. A 20' section will be installed along Austin Creek on the Southeastern end and will be approximately three (3) feet waterward of the mean high water line..

SAMUEL HUNT III SECRETARY jL I ^ Y i f5 July 17, 1995 Mr. Richard Watts District Manager NC Division of Coastal Management 1367 US 17 South Elizabeth City, NC 27909 Re: Modification of Major- CAMA Permit # 115-94 Dear Mr. Griffin: The purpose of this letter and the enclosed information is for the NC Department of Transportation (DOT) to request a modification of Major CAMA Permit #115-94. The subject permit was issued to the DOT on 9/28/94 to allow placement of rip rap material to protect private property (Hatteras Landing Planned Unit Development), located adjacent to the north side of the Hatteras Ferry Terminal, from erosion created in part by the ingress and egress of ferries from the terminal facility. In coordination with the property owners of Hatteras Landing we have concluded that a bulkhead and breakwater system is a better solution than rip rap to solve the erosion problem at this particular site. The two primary reasons for the proposed change to a bulkhead and breakwater structure is to eliminate the potential for rip rap to slough into the access channel and present a hazard to navigation and to allow the proposed access channel into the marina at the Hatteras Landing PUD to intersect the ferry channel at less of an angle thus allowing boat traffic in the two channels to merge more safely. We are enclosing with this correspondence two plats prepared by Mr. Lynn Small which indicate the proposed alignment of the bulkhead and breakwater and provide construction details and cross-sections. Also please note that the area proposed for bulkheading is the same area that is eligible to be filled landward of the rip rap in the current permit. Therefore there is no change in the permi alignment of the erosion control structure and the amount of fill in public trust waters will be r uced.

V Re: Water Quality Comment CAMA Major Permit 115-94 Modification Dare County DEM # 94467 A P75MA AM e7vA C) FE F1 ,fky fy r y17 ---op y In reference to NC DOT proposed modification of CAMA Major Permit 115-94 to change the permitted shoreline protection structure along the north side of the ferry turning basin in Hatteras, Dare County, the Division of Environmental Management has some concerns over the proposed change from rip rap to wooden bulkhead and breakwater a structure. DEM has no objection to the 165 foot portion of tall bulkhead along the existing high ground or the breakwater. However, we have concerns about the 224 feet of short bulkhead waterward or the existing marsh near Austin Creek. The short bulkhead will hinder the use of the marsh by aquatic organisms and eliminate the shallow water transition to the marsh which is important to many small fishes and other aquatic organisms. Wave reflection off the bulkhead may actually deepen the water near the structure. Also the proposed backfill will eventually erode away by tidal action and may cause further filling at the mouth of Austin Creek as ebb tides run behind the bulkhead. The loss of backfill and scouring in front of the bulkhead may lead to a premature failure of the structure. The permitted rip rap would maintain the shallow water habitat and actually improve the habitat for many aquatic organisms. the rip rap would also allow more natural flashing of the marsh behind it. Therefore DEM recommends: The 224 foot of short bulkhead should not be allowed in lieu of the permitted rip rap. 2. The 165 foot of tall bulkhead should be tied back into high ground at both ends to contain the backfill. Please call me at 733-1786 if you have any questions. cc: Washington Regional Office Central Office Pete Colwell 94467.mem P.O.

Box 27687 Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 ATTENTION: Mr. John Parker Dear Sir: R. SAMUEL HUNT III SECRETARY qq-?O?) SUBJECT: Dare County, Proposed Shoreline Protection of Tim Midgett Property Adjacent to Hatteras Ferry Basin, Project No. 6.051024. Please reference the North Carolina Department of Transportation's April 29, 1994 permit application for the referenced project. As was originally proposed, the shoreline was to be restored to its approximate 1990 location and stabilized against further erosion utilizing stone rip rap with earthen backfill. The proposed action would have resulted in the placement of 390 cubic yards of rip rap and 265 cubic yards of earthen fill below ordinary high water. During the permit review process for this application, concerns were raised concerning the amount of fill taking place below mean high water. Therefore, after coordination between NCDOT and various environmental agency personnel, the Department wishes to modify our proposed design to minimize the amount of open water fill. Specifically, the majority of the stabilization effort will now be accomplished by rip rapping the.existing shoreline. Earth backfill will be placed behind the rip rap along a 40' section of the most highly eroded shoreline (see enclosed Sheet 2 of 4). The proposed revised design will reduce the amount of rip rap placed below mean high water from 390 cubic yards to 295 cubic yards. The amount of earth backfill will be reduced from 265 cubic yards to 30 cubic yards. The North Carolina Department of Transportation requests that our original permit application be revised to reflect I the changes detailed in this application. A revised permit application form and set of drawings (4 sheets) are included for your information. A copy of the deed for Mr. Midgett's property has been previously provided. By copy of this revised application, NCDOT requests the appropriate 404 permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The N.C. Division of Environmental Management will be notified of this project during the CAMA public notice process, although a copy of this revised application is being provided to NCDEM for informational purposes. If you require any additional information concerning this application, please contact Mr. Doug Huggett of NCDOT's Environmental Unit at (919) 733-3141. Sincerely, B. _ 2nn?, P.E.

The purpose of the proposed project is to protect our shoreline from the wave action created by the arrival and departure of ferries from the Hatteras Terminal. Based on correspondence that has been copied to me from agencies reviewing the permit application, it appears that there is an attempt underway to modify the proposed project- In my opinion, the questions concerning the rip rap alignment proposed are a result of a lack of understanding of the project both in terms of what is proposed and why it is necessary- The project will not fill coastal wetlands, but will place rip rap waterward of those wetlands to project them from the wake created by the ferries and from turbulence created by the propellers of the ferries as they turn for departure. The only area proposed for back fill is where the ferries back up against our shoreline to swing around for the trip to Ocracoke. In this area, propeller action has eroded to the upland shoreline an area approximately 200' long by 5o' wide. In addition, areas of coastal wetlands and their organic mat to the north and east are being broken off and lost due to this disturbance. The rip rap alignment as proposed would afford protection to this shoreline and would allow the property owners to reclaim and stabilize the shoreline. The project does not create a net loss of wetlands, but will protect and enhance a significant fringe of coastal wetlands.

PUBLISHED ON: SUNDAY, MAY 15, 1994 f IrD o? E, a tAS V TELEFAX (919) 986-2745 July 5, 1994 71994 Mr. Doug Huggett W! TLAi c; -°` NC DOT WATER iJ?+?lTY SQL';; Planning and Environmental Branch PO Box 25201 Raleigh, NC 27611 Re: Project 94467 - DOT Hatteras Ferry Terminal CAMA Permit Application Dear Mr. Huggett: The purpose of this letter is to respond to the NC Department of Transportation (DOT) concerning the Major CAMA Permit Application that the DOT submitted to place rip rap along a portion of the shoreline at the Hatteras Landing Project. The purpose of the proposed project is to protect our shoreline from the wave action created by the arrival and departure of ferries from the Hatteras Terminal. Based on correspondence that has been copied to me from agencies reviewing the permit application, it appears that there is an attempt underway to modify the proposed project. In my opinion, the questions concerning the rip rap alignment proposed are a result of a lack of understanding of the project both in terms of what is proposed and why it is necessary. The project will not fill coastal wetlands, but will place rip rap waterward of those wetlands to project them from the wake created by the ferries and from turbulence created by the propellers of the ferries as they turn for departure. The only area proposed for back fill is where the ferries back up against our shoreline to swing around for the trip to Ocracoke. In this area, propeller action has eroded to the upland shoreline an area approximately 200' long by 5o' wide. In addition, areas of coastal wetlands and their organic mat to the north and east are being broken off and lost due to this disturbance. The rip rap alignment as proposed would afford protection to this shoreline and would allow the property owners to reclaim and stabilize the shoreline. The project does not create a net loss of wetlands, but will protect and enhance a significant fringe of coastal wetlands. P.O.

PROJECT SUMMARY: Construct 480 feet stone rip rap bulkhead and backfill along the northeastern shoreline of the Hatteras Ferry Terminal basin. 1 Bio Report NC DOT/Paley-Midgett Page Two Site Description The N.C. Department of Transportation currently operates a ferry service out of the large boat basin at the southwestern end of Hatteras Island in Dare County. Ferry service from Hatteras to Ocracoke Island runs every 30 minutes during the summer tourist season. The Paley-Midgett property forms the northeastern shoreline of the ferry terminal turning basin. In 1990 CAMA Major Development Permit #132-90 was issued to the Paley-Midgett Partnership for the development of a 59 lot subdivision and 38 slip marina (Hatteras Landing) on the 36 acre tract. Based on the enclosed Hatteras Landing, P.U.D. plat dated January 5, 1994, the Paley- Midgett property has lost up to 70 feet of shoreline to erosion since 1984 and 20 to 30 feet since 1990. The greatest erosion is focused on the western shoreline of the property which faces the ferry channel and Pamlico Sound. Aerial photography from 1979 and 1984 indicate that most of this shoreline had a fringe of coastal wetlands from the mouth of Austin Creek around the point and along Pamlico Sound. The mouth of Austin Creek has narrowed since 1979 with a plug of sand and coastal marsh extending southeast across it. Erosion has reduced much of the original marsh fringe so that the current shoreline consists of marsh, unvegetated sandy beach, and a highground erosion scarp. The mouth and interior areas of Austin Creek are vegetated heavily with coastal marsh dominated by saltmarsh cordgrass (S artina alterniflora). Continuing northwest around the shoreline the saltmarsh cordgrass gives way to a sandy beach with saltmeadow hay (Spartina paten s) and sea oxeye Borrichia frutescens) behind it. Another area of saltmarsh cordgrass (approximately 6 feet x 40 feet) is located between the sandy beach and the eroding uplands. The next 60 feet of shoreline consists of the only eroding upland along the property. This area consists of a red cedar Juni erous virginiana) and yaupon (Ilex vomitoria) thicket with a 2 to 3 foot erosion scarp at the shoreline. The shoreline northwest of the shrub thicket consists of unvegetated sand and marsh substrate with saltmeadow hay behind it. A thinly vegetated cordgrass marsh 10 to 30 feet wide continues for about 220 feet around the point and along Pamlico Sound. An area of black needlerush Juncus roemarianus) (approximately 60 feet in diameter) is located in a low area just inland of the cordgrass and saltmeadow hay marsh. Continuing along Pamlico Sound the cordgrass thins out in an 100 foot wide scalloped area and then picks back tip on the next small point. Saltmeadow hay again dominates the higher wetland areas along Pamlico Sound. Project Proposal Since some of the erosion problem along the Paley-Midgett property may be attributed to the ferry operations in the boat basin, the N.C. Department of Transportation is proposing to construct a shoreline stabilization structure. The stone rip rap structure will extend 480 feet along the shoreline starting near Austin Creek and ending around the point along Pamlico Sound. The stone rip rap will be placed at the approximate limit of the 1990 shoreline which will put NC DOT/Paley-Midgett Bio Report Page Three the waterward side of the structure as far as 20 to 30 feet offshore. The stone structure will be constructed with a 3:1 front slope, a 2:1 back slope, and a 3 foot flat cap giving it an average width of 20 feet. Earthen backfill (265 cubic yards) will be placed behind the rip rap structure in an effort to reclaim the lost property. According to the applicant the backfill will be placed from the top of the rip rap (about 1 foot above mean high tide) back to the erosion scarp filling an additional area 20 to 25 feet wide. Construction equipment will include a dragline with clamshell, backhoe, bulldozer, and dump trucks. Temporary construction mats will be used to cross wetland areas. Anticipated Impacts The stone rip rap will fill approximately 9,600 square feet of shallow water bottom habitat and the backfill will fill another 6,250 square feet of shallow water and/or marsh. According to the applicant's letter dated April 29, 1994 no fill will be placed in vegetated wetland areas. If the rip rap and fill are placed along the 1990 shoreline in the dimensions shown on the plats, some areas of coastal wetlands will be filled. If permitted, the alignment and placement of fill will have to be strictly monitored to avoid wetland impacts. The exact purpose of the backfill is not clear. The project should not interfere with navigation and should create only short term, localized turbidity during construction. Construction mats will be utilized to minimize equipment impacts to the wetland areas. CAMA Review The project is located in an area identified as conservation in the Dare County. Land Use Plan.

Box 25201 Raleigh, N.C. 27611 Project # 94467 Dear Mr. O'Quinn The Division of Environmental Management, Water Quality Section has reviewed your plans for wetland fill for 0.36 acres of wetlands at northeastern shoreline of Hatteras Ferry Terminal basin in Dare County for shoreline stabilization. Based on this review, we have identified significant uses which would be removed by this project. This use is the aquatic life use of these waters. Furthermore, insufficient evidence is present in our files to conclude that your project must be built as planned in wetlands. Therefore, we are moving toward denial of your 401 Certification, Until we receive additional information, we are requesting (by copy of this letter) that the N.C. Division of Coastal Management place your project on administrative hold. Please provide us with information supporting your position that your project must be constructed as planned and that you have no practicable alternative to fill of these wetlands. Specifically can you construct your bulkhead approximately along the present shoreline to minimize fill of these waters? Any documentation such as maps and narrative which you can supply to address upland alternatives may be helpful in our review of your 401 Certification. Please respond within two weeks of the date of this letter by sending a copy of this information to me and one copy to our Ms. Deborah Sawyer at the Washington Regional Office at 1424 Carolina Ave., Washington, N.C. 27889.

PROJECT SUMMARY: Construct 480 feet stone rip rap bulkhead and backfill along the northeastern shoreline of the Hatteras Ferry Terminal basin. Bio Report NC DOT/Paley-Midgett Page Two Site Description The N.C. Department of Transportation currently operates a ferry service out of the large boat basin at the southwestern end of Hatteras Island in Dare County. Ferry service from Hatteras to Ocracoke Island runs every 30 minutes during the summer tourist season. The Paley-Midgett property forms the northeastern shoreline of the ferry terminal turning basin. In 1990 CAMA Major Development Permit #132-90 was issued to the Paley-Midgett Partnership for the development of a 59 lot subdivision and 38 slip marina (Hatteras Landing) on the 36 acre tract. Based on the enclosed Hatteras Landing, P.U.D. plat dated January 5, 1994, the Paley- Midgett property has lost up to 70 feet of shoreline to erosion since 1984 and 20 to 30 feet since 1990. The greatest erosion is focused on the western shoreline of the property which faces the ferry channel and Pamlico Sound. Aerial photography from 1979 and 1984 indicate that most of this shoreline had a fringe of coastal wetlands from the mouth of Austin Creek around the point and along Pamlico Sound. The mouth of Austin Creek has narrowed since 1979 with a plug of sand and coastal marsh extending southeast across it. Erosion has reduced much of the original marsh fringe so that the current shoreline consists of marsh, unvegetated sandy beach, and a highground erosion scarp. The mouth and interior areas of Austin Creek are vegetated heavily with coastal marsh dominated by saltmarsh cordgrass S artina alterniflora). Continuing northwest around the shoreline the saltmarsh cordgrass gives way to a sandy beach with saltmeadow hay (SSpartina patens ) and sea oxeye (Borrichia frutescens) behind it. Another area of saltmarsh cordgrass (approximately 6 feet x 40 feet) is located between the sandy beach and the eroding uplands. The next 60 feet of shoreline consists of the only eroding upland along the property. This area consists of a red cedar (Juniperous vir ing iana) and yaupon I(_lex vomitoria) thicket with a 2 to 3 foot erosion scarp at the shoreline. The shoreline northwest of the shrub thicket consists of unvegetated sand and marsh substrate with saltmeadow hay behind it. A thinly vegetated cordgrass marsh 10 to 30 feet wide continues for about 220 feet around the point and along Pamlico Sound. An area of black needlerush Juncus roemarianus) (approximately 60 feet in diameter) is located in a low area just inland of the cordgrass and saltmeadow hay marsh. Continuing along Pamlico Sound the cordgrass thins out in an 100 foot wide scalloped area and then picks back up on the next small point. Saltmeadow hay again dominates the higher wetland areas along Parnlico Sound. Project Proposal Since some of the erosion problem along the Paley-Midgett property may be attributed to the ferry operations in the boat basin, the N.C. Department of Transportation is proposing to construct a shoreline stabilization structure. The stone rip rap structure will extend 480 feet along the shoreline starting near Austin Creek and ending around the point along Pamlico Sound. The stone rip rap will be placed at the approximate limit of the 1990 shoreline which will put NC DOT/Paley-Midgett Bio Report Page Three the waterward side of the structure as far as 20 to 30 feet offshore. The stone structure will be constructed with a 3:1 front slope, a 2:1 back slope, and a 3 foot flat cap giving it an average width of 20 feet. Earthen backfill (265 cubic yards) will be placed behind the rip. rap structure in an effort to reclaim the lost property. According to the applicant the backfill will be placed from the top of the rip rap (about 1 foot above mean high tide) back to the erosion scarp filling an additional area 20 to 25 feet wide. Construction equipment will include a dragline with clamshell, backhoe, bulldozer, and dump trucks. Temporary construction mats will be used to cross wetland areas. Anticipated Impacts The stone rip rap will fill approximately 9,600 square feet of shallow water bottom habitat and the backfill will fill another,6,250 square feet of shallow water and/or marsh. According to the applicant's letter dated April 29, 1994 no fill will be placed in vegetated wetland areas. If the rip rap and fill are placed along the 1990 shoreline in the dimensions shown on the plats, some areas of coastal wetlands will be filled. If permitted, the alignment and placement of fill will have to be strictly monitored to avoid wetland impacts. The exact purpose of the backfill is not clear. The project should not interfere with navigation and should create only short term, localized turbidity during construction. Construction mats will be utilized to minimize equipment impacts to the wetland areas. CAMA Review The project is located in an area identified as conservation in the Dare County Land Use Plan.

The purpose of the proposed project is to protect our shoreline from the wave action created by the arrival and departure of ferries from the Hatteras Terminal. Based on correspondence that has been copied to me from agencies reviewing the permit application, it appears that there is an attempt underway to modify the proposed project. In my opinion, the questions concerning the rip rap alignment proposed are a result of a lack of understanding of the project both in terms of what is proposed and why it is necessary. The project will not fill coastal wetlands, but will place rip rap waterward of those wetlands to project them from the wake created by the ferries and from turbulence created by the propellers of the ferries as they turn for departure. The only area proposed for back fill is where the ferries back up against our shoreline to swing around for the trip to Ocracoke. In this area, propeller action has eroded to the upland shoreline an area approximately 200' long by 50' wide. In addition, areas of coastal wetlands and their organic mat to the north and east are being broken off and lost due to this disturbance. The rip rap alignment as proposed would afford protection to this shoreline and would allow the property owners to reclaim and stabilize the shoreline. .The project does not create a net loss of wetlands, but will protect and enhance a significant fringe of coastal wetlands. °® MLS SALES, RENTALS, CONSTRUCTION 0 OFFICES AT HATTERAS, AVON, RODANTHE - 2 - We are currently working with the firm of Quible and Associates, P.C. on this project.

Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources P.O. Box 27687 Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 ATTENTION: Mr. John Parker Dear Sir: SUBJECT: Dare County, Proposed Shoreline Protection of Tim Midgett Property Adjacent to Hatteras Ferry Basin, Project No. 6.051024. Please reference the North Carolina Department of Transportation's April 29, 1994 permit application for the referenced project. As was originally proposed, the shoreline was to be restored to its approximate 1990 location and stabilized against further erosion utilizing stone rip rap with earthen backfill. The proposed action would have resulted in the placement of,390 cubic yards of rip rap and ,265 cubic yards of earthen fill below ordinary high water. During the permit review process for this application, concerns were raised concerning the amount of fill taking place below mean high water. Therefore, after coordination between NCDOT and various environmental agency personnel, the Department wishes to modify our proposed design to minimize the amount of open water fill. Specifically, the majority of the stabilization effort will now be accomplished by rip rapping the existing shoreline. Earth backfill will be placed behind the rip rap along a 40' section of the most highly eroded shoreline (see enclosed Sheet 2 of 4). The proposed revised design will reduce the amount of rip rap placed below mean high water from 390 cubic yards to 295 cubic yards. The amount of earth backfill will be reduced from 265 cubic yards to 30 cubic yards. The North Carolina Department of Transportation requests that our original permit application be revised to reflect G) the changes detailed in this application. A revised permit application form and set of drawings (4 sheets) are included for your information. A copy of the deed for Mr. Midgett's property has been previously provided. By copy of this revised application, NCDOT requests the appropriate 404 permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The N.C. Division of Environmental Management will be notified of this project during the CAMA public notice process, although a copy of this revised application is being provided to NCDEM for informational purposes. If you require any additional information concerning this application, please contact Mr. Doug Huggett of NCDOT's Environmental Unit at (919) 733-3141. Sincerely, B. nn, P.E. ..)'
