9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is located at the mouth of Saucepan Creek. Saucepan Creek is a small tributary
located on the north shore of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway near its confluence with the
Shallotte River. The site is accessed from the end of Atlantic Ave., off Shell Point Rd., south of
Shallotte, NC, in Brunswick County. Saucepan Creek it approximately 300 -350 feet wide at its
mouth. It is bordered on both sides by extensive Smooth Cordgrass (Soartina alterniflora) marsh..
The mouth and east side of the creek are shallow due to the development of a large sand shoal.
In the project area, the main creek channel is located on the west side of the creek, but it
narrows and gets shallow as the shoal's sand plume spreads across the creek mouth at it's
confluence with the AIWW. There is a small channel on the east side of the creek which feeds
the Breakfast Creek tributary of Saucepan Creek, approximately 600 feet north of the AIWW.
However, this channel is nearly dry at low water and shoaling sand is also migrating up the mouth
of Breakfast Creek, restricting it's flow.
The waters of Saucepan Creek are classified as SA, by the N.C. Division of Water Resources, and
are CLOSED to the harvest of shellfish. The area is not a designated Primary Nursery Area by the
N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries.
The applicants, long time residents and fishermen in the area, remember the days when Saucepan
Creek was deep and navigable at all tides, and open for the harvest of shellfish. They believe that
the development of the sand bar and shoaling at the mouth of the creek have restricted water
flow to adversely affect water quality, as well as, the obvious effect on navigation. They
proposes to open the creek by excavating the sand shoal to make the channel wider and deeper.
The excavated area would be 200 feet wide and 600 feet long, extending from the mouth of the
Saucepan Creek to the confluence of Breakfast Creek. The excavation would be completed by
hydraulic dredging. The material removed from the shoal would be pumped to the east end of
Ocean Isle Beach for beach renourishment. The area is curre4tly used for sandy spoils deposition
by the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers in conjunction with maintenance dredging of the AIWW, as
well as, the Town of Ocean Isle Beach which has a State Permit (# 52 -92) to dredge a channel in
Shallotte Inlet. The applicants have completed grain size analysis of the material in the area to be
excavated to show its compatibility with the beach sand, and have permission from the Town of
Ocean Isle Beach to pump the sand to the beach.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS,
The proposed project would disturb approximately 120,000 square feet of shallow, inter -tidal
sand bottom. The proposed excavation would create 18,000 to 20,000 cubic yards of sandy
spoils material. Its deposition on the east end of Ocean Isle would temporarily disturb up to
700,000 square feet of unvegetated beach, however, it is unlikely that the 20,000 cubic yards of
spoil material from this project would impact the entire 3,000 lineal feet of beach previously
permitted for renourishment. There are potential impacts to nesting sea turtles on the beach, and
other aquatic species at the dredging site. However, these impacts could be minimize by timing
the project to avoid periods of peak biological activity and turtle nesting cycles.

The removal of the shoal at the mouth of Saucepan Creek would improve the flow of tidal waters
into and out of adjacent salt marshes, especially on the east side of the creek. And although the
flushing capacity of the creek may improve and bacteria counts may decrease, it is unlikely that
the project will solve the contamination problem. The more likely sources of contamination are
failing septic tank systems and storm water run -off from adjacent development along Saucepan
Creek's entire drainage basin. Obviously, there would be positive impacts to navigation, however,
review of 1978, 1984, and 1989 aerial photography shows that the sandbar and shoal have been
in existence for some time. Given that the existing hydrology of the surrounding water bodies will
continue to deposit suspended sediments in this area and the shoal across of the creek mouth,
the channel may need regular maintenance every few years to ensure long -term success of the
navigational aspects of the project.

COASTAL MANAGEMENT
on 6 July 1997, my assistant and z sampled the soil at seven
random locations at the Saucepan Creek sandbar. we used a six
foot long by 0.75 inch diameter EMT tube and drove it into the
sand about 5.5 feet. Each soil sample was sifted through nine
U.S.A. Standard Testing Sieves and analyzed according to
rercentage of particle size by weight.
The enclosed Table 1 shows the prevalence of the seven soil
samples according to particle size in either millimeters or
microns. The table also indicates standard mesh sizes.
As expected, it looks as if the majority of the soil is coarse
and medium sand with shell fragments of various sizes. z bolded
the percentages in the table where the higher, double -digit
percentages occurred.
if you have any questions, or need additional information, please
don't hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Mr. Moore,
JD AUG U 1 1997
DIVIS(u-N OF
COASTAL MANAGEMENT
At your request, I have performed a particle size
analysis on soil samples collected from your proposed
dredging site from the mouth of Saucepan Creek up to the
mouth of Breakfast Creek in Brunswick County.
Seven samples of soil were collected at the site in
question by Dr. Richard Brown (see Dr. Brown's letter and
data for the sampling protocol). Dr. Brown provided me with
about 100 grams of each of these soil samples. On visual
inspection, the samples appeared to be mostly coarse sand.
The first sample was consumed in preliminary testing to
determine if there were any significant amounts of silt or
clay in the sample. The sample was mixed with water and
vigorously shaken, and the sand was allowed to settle for
several minutes. The supernatant over th'e settled sand
appeared to have some mineral turbidity, and so a full
particle size analysis was performed on the six remaining
samples.
The procedure used is known as the "hydrometer method"
of soil particle size analysis, and is outlined in
Fundamentals of Soil Science, 8t' edition, by Henry D. Foth,
1990, - qa e 24. Details of this analysis procedure and the
raw data from the analyses are available upon request. The
results follow on the next page:

Please note that not all these numbers add up to 100 %,
due to rounding errors.
Particle sizes for sand, silt and clay are defined as
follows:
Sand: greater than 0.1mm
Silt: 0.05mm - 0.002mm
Clay: less than 0.002mm
I have used a definition of sand that would include larger
particle sizes. Sand is actually in a particle size range
from 0.10mm to 2.00mm, with larger particle sizes being
given the designations of gravel, cobbles, stones, etc.
Some of the particles in the samples appeared to be shell
fragments larger than 2.00mm, and it is my understanding
that Dr. Brown has used the sieve method to break out the
various sand separates as well as the larger particle
sizes, and he will be reporting these results to you.
Thank you for the opportunity to conduct this study.
Best Regards,
Dr. Doug Holland

SAUCEPAN CREEK SANDBAR DREDGING PRt ECT
SAUCEPAN CREEK AT INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY
BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
1.00 Existing Environment. The project site is a flat, hydric
sandbar averaging 200 feet wide by 600 feet long and occupying
approximately 2.75 acres. It is located on the east bank along
the mouth of Saucepan Creek, Brunswick County, North Carolina.
The creek flows into the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) near the
west end of Holden Beach. The sandbar has been created by sand
sediments being carried down Saucepan Creek. When the sand
particles reach the slower water velocity at the mouth of
Saucepan Creek at its juncture with the ICW, they are deposited.
The sandbar is located in an active hydric zone. The sandbar is
above water level at low tide and below water level at high tide.
There is no land use other than by wildlife (see 4.00a) for
loafing and feeding during low tide. The soil type is
sedimentary sand, probably Newhan fine sand. Surface waters and
ground waters most likely include a homogeneous mixture of water
from Saucepan Creek, Breakfast Creek, the ICW, and ocean water
resulting from tidal currents.
Habitat immediately surrounding Saucepan Creek and the sandbar is
coastal wetland dominated by Salt Marsh'Cord Grass (Spartina
alterniflora), Black Needle Rush (Juncus- roemerianus), Sea Oxeye
(Borrichia frutescens), Glasswort (Salicornia virginica), and
Salt Grass (Distichlis spicata). Immediately west of the sandbar
is the deeper channel of Saucepan Creek. Immediately south of
the sandbar is the ICW. East of where Saucepan Creek enters the
ICW, there is a residential development along the ICW. During
low tide, Breakfast Creek's flow is restricted by the sandbar and
is forced to flow along the east bank through a narrow, shallow
channel.
Blockage of the natural drainage of the two creeks can contribute
to increased levels of stagnation and pollution. An earlier
study at five sites in the Saucepan drainage system showed very
high fecal coliform counts (see Appendices). There are signs at
the mouth of Saucepan Creek that state, "Closed Area: Unlawful to
take oysters, clams, or mussels. (N. C. Marine Fisheries)."
Closure is most likely due to increased levels of pollution in
the shellfish waters and in the filter- feeding shellfish
themselves. The natural flow of the two creeks and the flushing
action of tidal waters into and out of the area salt marshes (the
eastern salt marsh especially) are greatly impeded by the
sandbar. This reduces the natural productivity and cleansing of
the polluted waters from the marsh and the creeks. Removing the
sandbar should greatly help this problem.

page 3
2.00 Need. The sediment buildup resulting in the sandbar is (1)
restricting the natural flushing action and draining of Saucepan
Creek into the ICW, (2) hindering the natural draining of
Breakfast Creek into Saucepan Creek, (3) allowing the retention
and buildup of fecal coliform bacteria and other pollutants in
the two creeks and surrounding salt marsh, and (4) hindering the
natural drainage of the two creeks and the flushing and filtering
of tidal waters to and from the surrounding salt marsh.
To solve the above problems, the proposal is to dredge and remove
about 44,444 cubic yards of sandbar on the east side of Saucepan
Creek from the ICW north to and beyond Breakfast Creek ending
south of an existing boardwalk. This includes an area about 600
feet long, with an average width of 200 feet, and 10 feet deep.
No portion of the salt marsh will be affected. It is proposed
that the dredged sand will be deposited as part of a beach
renourishment program for the eroded east end of Ocean Isle (see
Appendices).
3.00 Alternative Analysis. There are no alternatives to the
proposed action other than leaving the sandbar as it is. During
time, with continual sedimentation occurring, the sandbar would
most likely increase in size, ultimately blocking the drainage of
the two creeks, further preventing the natural flushing and
removal of pollutants from the creeks and salt marsh.
4.00 Environmental Consequences.
(a) Changes in Land Use. Due to its origin, the sandbar has
never been used, nor is currently being used by any persons or
agencies. Terrestrial plant species cannot gain a hold on the
sandbar because of tidal fluctuations. Only a few species of
wildlife occasionally use the sandbar as a loafing and feeding
area during periods of low tide. The attraction of the sandbar
during low tide and the resulting stimulation of avian wildlife
to nest could result in wasted reproductive behavior. Removal of
the sandbar would, therefore, be a positive impact causing the
birds to spend their time more profitably in more stable,
nontidal habitats of a permanent nature. There will be no
significant negative impact to changes in land use.
(b) Wetlands. No wetlands exist on the sandbar. The habitat
surrounding the sandbar is coastal salt marsh. Normally organic
material is regularly removed and the sediment is deposited by
the tides, allowing the salt marsh community to be highly
productive. Removal of the sandbar will be a positive impact,
increasing the flushing action and making the impacted eastern
portion of the salt marsh more productive than it presently is.
No wetland community and no salt marsh habitat will be disturbed
by the proposed dredging of the sandbar. There will be no
significant adverse impact to surrounding wetlands.

page 4
(c) Prime or Unique Aaricultural Lands. No prime or unique
agricultural lands exist on the sandbar or in the surrounding
area. There will be no significant negative impact to prime or
unique agricultural lands.
(d) Public Lands Such as Parks. No federal, state, or local
parks exist on the sandbar or in the surrounding area. There
will be no significant negative impact to public lands.
(e) Scenic and Recreational Areas. No designated federal,
state, or local scenic areas exist on the sandbar. However,
Saucepan Creek and Breakfast Creek are designated as local and
state recreational waterways. Because of the high fecal coliform
count in this water system, no shellfishing is allowed, nor
should any recreational activities, such as swimming or water
skiing, take place until the area waters are cleaned up.
Presently there is no boat access to Breakfast Creek due to the
sandbar. Access to Saucepan Creek is limited to small outboard
boats. The proposed dredging project would have a positive
impact on the recreational and commercial use of both creeks.
There will be no significant negative impact to scenic and
recreational areas.
(f) Areas of Archeoloaica.l or Historical Val. Due to the
method of origin and recency of the sandbar, no areas of
archeological or historical value exist.on the sandbar. None
exist in the surrounding area. There will be no significant
negative impact to areas of archeological—or historical value.
(g) Air Quality. The only impact to the air would be during
actual dredging activities due to pollution caused by the exhaust
of the machinery used. The impact to air quality would be minor
because the ICW is routinely dredged and boats regularly use the
waterway. wind currents in this open area are moderately strong
and any air pollution would be quickly dispersed and diluted.
Air quality to any area should not be significantly impacted by
the proposed project.
(h) Ground Water Ouality. The area around the proposed
project is regularly flooded by coastal tide waters. Ground
water and surface water are probably somewhat homogeneous.
Removal of the sandbar should increase the flushing action of the
eastern salt marsh, thereby reducing any present stagnation
caused by the blockage. There will be no significant negative
impact to ground water quality.
(i) Noise Lever. Noise levels during the proposed project
should not exceed noise levels currently experienced by regular
dredging activities and boat traffic on the ICW. There will be
no significant negative impact created by noise levels.

page 5
(j) Water Supplies. No water supplies fit for human
consumption exist on the site of the proposed activity. The
water supplies of Saucepan Creek and Breakfast Creek have been
essentially blocked. Residents cannot enter or exit Breakfast
Creek in any kind of boat because of the sandbar. Saucepan Creek
is restricted to small outboards.
There will be no significant negative impact to consumable water
supplies. There will be a positive impact to the sport and
commercial use of the two creeks.
(k) Shellfish or Fish and Their Habitats. The sandbar does
not support any significant clam shellfish population (see
Appendices). Oysters and clams are rather common shellfish
species along the North Carolina coast and are abundant in the
upper Saucepan Creek area. Although not a species of special
concern, any live oysters will be removed by the Division of
Marine Fisheries of the Department of Environment, Health and
Natural Resources or another designated agency before the
proposed project begins. It is estimated that about 5 bushels or
less of oysters are on the proposed project site.
Removal of the sandbar will not have any direct effect on fish or
fish habitats, but dredging of the sandbar could possibly produce
indirect effects, namely a short period of sediment loading into
the surrounding waters and an increase in tidal exchange in
Breakfast Creek.
There are no habitats on or adjacent to the site that would
support any fish species on the state or federal endangered or
threatened species lists, or the state special concern list. Any
sedimentation resulting from dredging activities is likely to be
minimal in scope and minuscule in comparison to the much larger
dredging activities periodically undertaken in the surrounding
area in the maintenance of the inlet between Holden Beach, Ocean
Isle Beach, and the ICW. The increase in tidal exchange in
Breakfast Creek would most likely be beneficial to local fish
populations and would most likely improve sport and commercial
fisheries in the area (see Appendices).
Because no endangered, threatened, or special concern species of
aquatic invertebrates and fish are expected in the area of the
proposed project, there will be no significant negative impact.
(1) Wildlife and Their Habitats. No plant species are found
on the sandbar because no suitable habitats exist. Furthermore,
the sandbar is completely covered with water during high tide
(see Appendices).
Consequently, there will be no adverse impact to wildlife,
because none live on the sandbar due to the tides and flooding.

page 6
No federally endangered or threatened species of wildlife will be
negatively impacted by the proposed project. No state endangered
and threatened species will be adversely impacted by the proposed
project. Three state - listed special concern species were seen:
several Black Skimmers (Rhynchops niger) on the sandbar, several
Brown Pelicans (Pelicanus occidentalis) and a Tricolored Heron
(Egretta tricolor) flying overhead. These and other avian
species, such as sandpipers, terns, gulls, and passerines use the
sandbar as a loafing and feeding area only during low tides.
None will be adversely impacted because the sandbar is completely
under water during high tides. No critical habitats exist on the
proposed project site (see Appendices).
(m) Introduction of Toxic Substances. No toxic substances
will be introduced to the area habitat during the proposed
dredging activities. There will be no significant negative
impact to the site by the introduction of toxic substances.
(n) Eutronhication of Recejvina waters. The proposed site
is regularly flooded by natural tidal action. Breakfast Creek
has difficulty draining after high tides because the sandbar
blocks the natural flow. Therefore, the water of Breakfast Creek
tends to remain somewhat backed up. There is, perhaps, an
increase in stagnation and nutrient levels as a result of septic
tank leakage and because natural tidal flushing is restricted by
the sandbar.
Saucepan Creek has a continuous flow even-at low tide because the
western half of the creek is more deeply channeled allowing some
exchange with tidal flow. Removal of the sandbar would further
improve the flushing and tidal flow of Saucepan Creek. No long
term addition of nutrients to the receiving waters of the ICw are
expected to occur as a result of the proposal. There may be a
short term addition of nutrients as Breakfast Creek get cleaned
up as a result of the sandbar removal. Ultimately, a better -
than- present natural flushing of both creeks will occur. There
should be no significant negative impact due to eutrophication of
receiving waters.
5.00 Mitigative Measures. There will be no significant negative
impacts due to the proposed project. Therefore, mitigation
measures should not be necessary. Because of the positive
benefits to the salt marsh, both water systems, and recreational
and comercial users of the creeks, removal of the sandbar in
itself will be a positive mitigation measure.

page 7
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
No adverse environmental impacts are expected by the proposed
project because none of the environmental items under concern are
found at the sandbar site and will not be adversely impacted by
dredging activities and removal of the sandbar. Instead, several
items of concern will have positive environmental consequences if
the proposed project is implemented. No EIS should have to be
prepared.
The FONSI completes the environmental review record which is
available for inspection at the State Clearinghouse.

DIVISIUM OP
COASTAL MANAGEMENT
This letter is in response to your request for an environmental
assessment of the impact on wildlife by the proposed dredging of
a sandbar at the mouth of Saucepan Creek at its juncture with the
Intracoastal Waterway in Brunswick County, North Carolina.
On 6 June 1997, Mr. Christopher Sowers, a botanist, Dr. Doug
Holland, a fish /aquaculture biologist, Chad Gray, Dr. Holland's
assistant, and I surveyed the proposed dredging site during low
tide. The sandbar contains no plants except some debris that is
trapped during low tide. The sandbar is completed covered with
water during periods of high tide. There is simply no suitable
wildlife habitat. The sandbar can only be used by wildlife
during periods of low tide as a site for resting or loafing, and
feeding. No nesting can occur.
During our visit, the following avian species were seen or heard:
Black Skimmers (Rvnchops nicer), Willets__(Catoptroahonzs
semipalmatus), Common Terns (Sterna hirundo), Sanderlings
(Calidris alba), a Tricolored Heron (Egret'ta tricolor), Laughing
Gulls (Larus atricilla), Brown Pelicans (Pelecanus occidentalis),
Least Terns (Sterna antillarum), Red - winged Blackbirds (Agelaius
phoeniceus), Boat - tailed Grackles (Ouiscalus major), a
Semipalmated Plover (Charadrius semipalmatus), and a Great Egret
(Casmerodius albus). Most of these were seen flying by or over
the project area. None of these species are on the federal or
state endangered or threatened species lists. Three species, the
Black Skimmer, Brown Pelican, and Tricolored Heron are on the
states special concern list. However, none of these species can
use the sandbar as nesting habitat because of its daily tidal
inundations.
The area salt marshes will not be adversely impacted. As I see
it, removal of the sandbar will produce a positive impact to the
surrounding salt marsh by opening up Saucepan Creek, and
especially Breakfast Creek which is almost completely blocked of
natural water flow. To me, this is an area of great concern.
The natural flow of tidal waters into and out of the eastern salt
marsh especially, are greatly impeded, thus reducing the natural
productivity of the marsh. Removing the sandbar should greatly

help this problem.

DIVISION OF
COASTAL MANAGEMENT
Presently there is impediment to all boating use of Breakfast
Creek. Saucepan Creek has reduced use during periods of low
tide. At that, only small outboards can pass during high tide.
Thus the recreational value of this water system is greatly
reduced. Removal of the sandbar will correct this problem.
other environmental concerns such as impacts to air and water
quality, public lands, scenic and recreational areas,
agricultural lands, archeological or historical sites, or impacts
due to increased levels of noise, eutrophication, or toxic
substances will all be negative because the items of concern are
either absent, minimal, or instead, will be benefited by the
proposed project. There may be some slight adverse impacts to a
few aquatic lifeforms during the actual dredging process, but
these slight impacts will be far outweighed by the long term
benefits to the ecology of the area.
I have conducted numerous environmental assessments for many
different agencies over the years, and never have I had such an
"easy" and needed project. Simply stated, the proposed project
of dredging the sandbar will not negatively impact any area
wildlife. No critical habitats will be adversely impacted by the
proposed project. The waterways and salt marsh will, instead, be
benefited.
If you have any questions, or need additional information, please
do not hesitate to contact me.

Dear Mr. Moore,
On June 6, 1997 my assistant Chad Gray and I visited a site
near the mouth of Saucepan Creek which is located on the mainland
side of the Intracoastal Waterway across from the inlet between
Holden Beach, NC and Ocean Isle Beach, NC.
Accompanied by Dr. Dick Brown and Mr. Chris Sowers, we
observed a migrating sandbar that runs from near the mouth of
Saucepan Creek to a point several hundred feet upstream. Chad
Gray and I participated in this site visit to determine if any
negative impact to local fish populations is likely to result
from a proposed dredging of the sandbar up to and including the
mouth of Breakfast Creek.
The sandbar is completely inundated at high tide, and was
observed at low tide. Removal of the sandbar will not have any
direct effect on fish or fish habitats, but dredging of the
sandbar could possibly produce indirect effects, namely a short
period of sediment loading into the surrounding waters and an
increase in tidal exchange in Breakfast Creek.
There are no habitats on or adjacent'to the site that would
support any fish species on the state or federal endangered or
threatened species lists. Any sedimentation resulting from
dredging activities is likely to be minimal in scope and
miniscule in comparison to the much larger dredging activities
periodically undertaken in the surrounding area in the
maintenance of the inlet between Holden Beach and Ocean Isle
Beach and the Intracoastal Waterway. The increase in tidal
exchange in Breakfast Creek would most likely be beneficial to
local fish populations and would likely improve sport and
commercial fisheries in the area.
It is my opinion that the dredging of Sausepan Creek up to
Breakfast Creek will have minimal detrimental impacts on fish
populations and sport and commercial fisheries in the area, and
that the potential benefits to fisheries of such dredging far
outweigh any such minimal detrimental effects.
Best Regards,
Dr. Doug Holland

DIVISiON OF

14 June 1997
On 6 June 1997, Dr. Dick Brown, Dr. Doug Holland, and I
site - visited the sandbar at the mouth of Saucepan Creek
located along the Intracoastal Waterway at the inlet between
Ocean Isle and Holden Beach to determine any negative impact
that might occur from dredging up to Breakfast Creek.
We visited the site at low tide, crossing the shallow
channel running down the east bank of Saucepan Creek. The
sandy shoal is completely inundated at high tide and
supports no vascular plants. Therefore, no federal
endangered or threatened plant species are directly open to
impact on the shoal itself and no state endangered,
threatened, or special concern species are found there.
Plants of concern for Brunswick County (Mike Gantt, 7 March,
1994) are two federally endangered plant species (Thalictrum
cooleyi /Cooley's Meadowrue found in moist bogs and
savannahs, and Lysimachia asperulaefolia /Rough- leaved
Loosestrife found in pocosins), and one federally threatened
species (Amaranthus pumilus /Seabeach Amaranth found in beach
front habitat and sea dunes). Only one of these habitats is
seen at the Saucepan Creek site (viz., beach front and dunes
for the waterway),but even if Seabeach Amaranth were present
in that area it could exist without any,negative impact from
the proposed dredging action on the sandy shoal. What I have
stated about the three federally endangered and threatened
plant species above is equally valid with the eight state
endangered, eight state threatened, and the one state
concerned status plant sp-ecies (Natural Heritage Program
Element List for Brunswick County as of 16 May 1994).
Habitat is not available on the sandbar, therefore there is
no negative impact.
Coastal wetlands exist on both the west and east banks of
Saucepan Creek, and are dominated by Salt Marsh Cord Grass
(Spartina alterniflora), Black Needle Rush (Juncus
roemerianus), Sea Oxeye (Borrichia frutescens), Glasswort
(Salicornia virginica), and Salt Grass (Distichlis spicata).

These wetlands are of primary interest as nutrient / rai -JG 9 1. 1,997-
production areas supporting crustacean, fish, and mollusk (-)F:
development, as well as forage and refuge sites for birds ?r,L [vi H'lAGrfAENT
and other wildlife. Wetlands are good buffers and transition
zones between upland areas and aquatic systems, as they act
as natural filters of sediments and nutrients from upland
sources, and they serve as valuable wildlife habitat. These
wetlands can only be made more accessible to the natural
tide flow and irrigated more efficently by the flushing made
possible by the removal of the sandbar at the mouth of
Saucepan Creek.
On our way down to the creek from the upland area on the
east side we observed residential lawn, field, scrub, and
Loblolly Pine communities. Common species for the
residential community included ornamentals (Nerium oleander,
Butia capitata, Sabal palmetto, Elaeagnus pungens, Euonymus
japonicas, Populus deltoides, and Yucca aloifolia) ,
Centipede Grass (Eremochloa ophiuroides), and weedy species
like Pennywort (Hydrocotyle bonariensis), Lippia (Lippia
nodiflora), and Bermuda Grass (Cynodon dactylon).
The disturbed field community was dominated by graminoids
(like Little Bluestem /Andropogon scoparius and Virginia
Wildrye /Elymus virginicus), herbs (like Poor -man's Pepper
/Lepidium virginicum, Grass - leaved Ladies' Tresses
/Spiranthes praecox, Annual Queen Anne's Lace /Daucus
pusillus, and Wild Lettuce /Lactuca canadensis), and vines
(like Peppervine /Ampolepsis arborea, Catbrier /Smilax
auriculata, Virginia Creeper /Parthenocissus quinquefolia,
Poison Ivy /Rhus radicans,and Creeping Cucumber /Melothria
pendula). The scrub community included Groundsels (Baccharis
halimifolia and B. angustifolia), Wax Myrtle (Myrica
cerifera), Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana), Marsh
Elder (Iva frutescens),and Yaupon (Ilex vomitoria). Some
Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda) appeared to be suffering and
losing needles (possible lack of drainage)just up from the
juncture of the two creeks on the east bank, although good
stands of Loblolly Pine exist both on the west and northeast
side of Saucepan Creek. Voucher plant specimens representing
a transect made across the east bank of Saucepan Creek on
13 June 1997 from the residential road impasse to the creek
were collected and deposited in the Brunswick Community
College Herbarium.

Investigation of the sandy shoal itself revealed only an
unremarkable spit of sand edged with Spartina culms and
loblolly pine cones (Pinus taeda) washed there by rain and
tide. Common mid - Atlantic algal species like Sea Lettuce
(Ulva lactuca), Deadman's Fingers (Codiaeum sp.), and
Irish Moss (Chondrus sp.)were also seen occasionally in the
shallow tidal pools, but are not endangered, threatened, nor
of special concern.
It is obvious that Saucepan and Breakfast creeks are
becoming landlocked essentially by the sandbar at the mouth
of Saucepan Creek, although a narrow, shallow channel flows
along the east bank and a narrow, deep channel flows along
the west bank allowing some exchange with tidal flow. Though
the removal of the sandbar also opens the area up to
commercial and recreational activities potentially, the area
is clearly posted on both sides of the creek as unsafe for
shellfishing at the present. This seems to justify the
reopening of the original path of Saucepan and Breakfast
creeks. Primary impact on wetlands on either side of
Saucepan Creek should only be positive. No critical habitat
nor flora will be destroyed by removal of the sandbar.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Mr. Moore,
As per our phone conversation of February 25, 1997, 1 am writing this letter to
present you the results of my informal shellfish investigation of the lower mouth region
of Saucepan Creek.
On January 28, 1 met Marine Patrol Officer Billy Ray Lanier at Dalt's on Shallotte
Point. Loaded with regular clam rakes, a meter - square, and notepad, we motored to the
mouth of Saucepan Creek and proceeded approximately 700 feet up the creek at a low
ebbing tide. This area has a deep channel along the west side of the creek with a sandy
shoal area somewhat in the middle, then a smaller, shallower channel running down the
.unrest -bank of the creek (see diagram). We approached the shoal area below Breakfast
Creek and began a cross - sectional sampling of that area.
The sampling procedure consisted of tossing the meter - square randomly and then
raking the bottom within that one square meter. Ten samples were taken with a total of 8
clams being found. The greatest number of clams (4) found at any one site was closest
to the entrance of Breakfast Creek on the east channel side. Only four more were found
and they were lower and closer to the mouth of Saucepan Creek, yet still on the eastern
side. No clams were found in the sandy shoal areas, as expected. Therefore, I conclude
that this specific area does not support any significant shellfish population. Eight clams
in an area as large as was sampled (approx. 3/ acre) does not constitute a significant
number.
I hope this information will suffice and if you have any further needs on this matter,
please don't hesitate to call. My extension number is 258.
Sincerely yours,

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is located at the mouth of Saucepan Creek. Saucepan.Creek is a small tributary
located on the north shore of the-. Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway: hoof its 'confluence with the
Shallotte River. The site is accessed from the end of Atlantic Ave., off Shell Point Rd., south of
Shallotte, NC, in Brunswick County. Saucepan Creek it ' approximately 300 =350 `feet• wide at its
mouth. It is bordered on both sides by extensive Smooth Cordgrass: (,Soartina alterniflora) marsh..
The mouth and east side of the creek are -shallow, due'to'the deve opment of "a large 'sand shoal.
In the project area, the main creek channel is located on the west side of the creek, but it
narrows and gets shallow as the shoal's sand plume spreads across the creek mouth at it's
confluence with the AIWW. There is a small channel orf the east• Me °of t i'e creek'which feeds
the Breakfast Creek tributary of Saucepan Creek', approximately 600, feet north of the AIWW. .
However, this channel is nearly dry at low water and shoaling sand is' also migrating Up the mouth
of Breakfast Creek, restricting it's flow.
Y'',. + ...:'„a+ 7 4. � 4'�•2!'.yli(g�',�Na'�aF�,�;�Tt itr r. •
The waters of Saucepan Creek are classified as SA, by the N C Division "of Water Resources, and
are CLOSED to the harvest of shellfish. The area is not a designated' Primary 'Nursery Area by the
N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries.
iak04 ,• +r`ik�aR•�ebt, �i- S':�� »• + ,
The applicants, long time residents and fishermen in the area, remember the days when Saucepan
Creek was deep and navigable at all tides, and open for `& har 1i of. shellfish. They believe that
the development of the sand bar and shoaling at the mouth of the creek have restricted water
flow to adversely affect water quality, as well as, they obvioiis'`effect on navigation. They
proposes to open the creek by excavating the sand shoal to make- the 'channel wider and deeper.
The excavated area would be 200 feet wide and 600 feet long, extending from the mouth of the
Saucepan Creek to the confluence of Breakfast: Creek. The excavation would be•completed by
hydraulic dredging. The material removed from the shoal would be pumped to the east end of
Ocean Isle Beach for beach renourishment. The area is currently used•foi sandy spoils deposition
by the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers in conjunction with maintenance dredging of the AIWW, as.
well as, the Town of Ocean Isle Beach which has a State Permit W 52 -92). to dredge a channel in
Shallotte Inlet. The applicants have completed grain size analysis of the material in the area to be
excavated to show its compatibility with the beach sand, and have permission from the Town of
Ocean Isle Beach to pump the sand to the beach.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS -
The proposed project would disturb approximately .120,000 square feet of shallow-, inter -tidal
sand bottom. The proposed excavation would 'create `�18,000 to 20,000 cubic yards of sandy
spoils material. Its deposition on the east end of Ocean Isle would ' to , mporarily disturb up to
700,000 square feet of unvegetated beach, however, it is unlikely tat the 20,000 cubic yards of
spoil material from this project would impact the entire 3,000 lineal feet of beach previously
permitted for renourishment. There are potential impacts to nesting sea turtles on the, beach, and
other aquatic species at the dredging site.- However, these impacts could be minimize by timing
the project to avoid periods of peak biological activity and turtle nesting cycles.

The removal of the shoal at the mouth of Saucepan Creek would improve the flow of tidal waters
into and out of adjacent salt marshes, especially on the east side of the creek. And although the
flushing capacity of the creek may improve and bacteria counts may decrease, it is unlikely that
the project will solve the contamination problem. The more likely sources of contamination are
failing septic tank systems and storm water run -off from adjacent development along Saucepan
Creek's entire drainage basin. Obviously, there would be positive impacts to navigation, however,
review of 1978, 1984, and 1989 aerial photography shows that the sandbar and shoal have been
in existence for some time. Given that the existing hydrology of the surrounding water bodies will
continue to deposit suspended sediments in this area and the shoal across of the creek mouth,
the channel may need regular maintenance every few years to ensure long -term success of the
navigational aspects of the project.

Dear Mr. Moore: COASTAL MA14AGEMENT
On 6 July 1997, my assistant and I sampled the soil'at seven
random locations at the Saucepan Creek sandbar. we used a six
foot long by 0.75 inch diameter EMT tube and drove it into the
sand about s.s feet. Each sail sample was sifted through nine
U.S.A. Standard Testing Sieves and analyzed according to
percentage of particle size'by weight.
The enclosed Table 1 shows the prevalence of the seven soil
samples according to particle size in either millimeters or
microns. -The table also indicates standard mesh sizes.
As expected, it looks as if the majority of the soil is coarse
and medium sand with shell fragments of various sizes. I bolded
the percentages in the table where the higher, double -digit
percentages occurred.
If you have any questions, or need additional information, please
don't hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Mr. Moore,
9 AUG 011997 CD
DIVISION OF
COASTAL MA14AGEMENT
At your request, I have performed a particle size
analysis on soil samples collected from your proposed
dredging site from the mouth of Saucepan Creek up to the
mouth of Breakfast Creek in Brunswick County.
Seven samples of soil were collected at the site in
question by Dr. Richard Brown (see Dr. Brown's letter and
data for the sampling protocol). Dr. Brown provided me with
about 100 grams of each of these soil samples. On visual
inspection, the samples appeared to be mostly coarse sand.
The first sample was consumed in preliminary testing to
determine if there were any- significqLnt amounts of silt or
clay in the sample. The sample was mixed with water and
vigorously shaken, and the sand was allowed to settle for
several minutes. The supernatant over tfie settled sand
appeared to have some mineral turbidity, and so a full
particle size analysis was performed on the six remaining
samples. --
The procedure used is known as the "hydrometer method"
of soil particle size analysis, and is outlined in
Fundamentals of Soil Science, 8th edition, by Henry D. Foth,
19900, page 24. Details of this analysis procedure and the
raw data from the analyses are available upon request. The
results follow on the next page:

Please note that not all these numbers add up to 100 %,
due to rounding errors.
Particle sizes for sand, silt and clay are defined as
follows:
Sand: greater than 0.1mm
Silt: 0.05mm - 0.002mm
Clay: less than 0.002mm
I have used a definition of sand that would include larger
particle sizes. Sand is actually in 4 particle size range
from 0.10mm to 2.00mm, with larger particle sizes being
given the designations of gravel, cobbles, stones, etc.
Some of the particles in the samples appeared to be shell
fragments larger than 2.00mm, and it is my understanding
that Dr. Brown has used the sieve method to break out the
various sand separates as well as the larger particle
sizes, and he will be reporting these results to you.
Thank you for the opportunity to conduct this study.
Best Regards,

SA AN CREEK SAIVDEAR DREDGING PROJECT
SAUCEPAN CREEK'AT INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY
BRUNSWICK COUNTY,'` NORTH CAROLINA
1.00 Existing Environment '-' The °'project' site i 'a.,flat, hydric
sandbar averaging 200 feet widexb�i''3600 ''feet;'long ,and `occupying
approximately 2.75 acres. It is`located`onFthe 'east bank along
the mouth of Saucepan Creek, Brunswick County, North Carolina.
The creek flows into the Intracoastal Waterway `(ICW) near the
west end of Holden Beach. The sandbar has'been'd e' ated by sand
sediments being carried down Saucepan Creek ` "*l.en the sand
particles reach the slower water velocitillia ' the amouth of
Saucepan Creek at its juncture with the ICW,,they are'` deposited.,
The sandbar is located in an active hydric zone. ''The sandbar is
above water level at low tide and below water level at high tide.
There is no land use other than by wildlife (see 4.00a) for
loafing and feeding during low tide. The soil,type.is
sedimentary sand, probably Newhan'fine sand.' Surface waters and
ground waters most likely include`a homogeneous mixture of water
from Saucepan Creek, Breakfast Creek, the ICW, "and ocean water
resulting from tidal currents
Habitat immediately surrounding Saucepan ICreek• and the sandbar is
coastal wetland dominated by Salt Marsh' Cord Grass (Spartina
alterniflora), Black Needle Rush (Juncus- ,roemerianus), Sea Oxeye
(Borrichia frutescens), Glasswort (Salicorpia virginica), and
Salt Grass (Distichlis spicata). immediately west of the sandbar
is the deeper channel of Saucepan Creek. Immediately south of
the sandbar is the ICW. East of where Saucepan Creek enters the
ICW, there is a residential-development along the ICW. During
low tide, Breakfast Creeks flow is restricted by the sandbar and
is forced to flow along the east bank through a narrow, shallow
channel..
Blockage of the natural drainage of the two creeks can contribute
to increased levels of stagnation and pollution. An earlier
study at five sites in the Saucepan drainage system showed very
high fecal coliform counts (see Appendices). There are signs at
the mouth of Saucepan Creek that state, "Closed Area: Unlawful to
take oysters, clams, or mussels. (N. C. Marine Fisheries)."
Closure is most likely due to increased levels of pollution in
the shellfish waters and in the filter - feeding shellfish
themselves. The natural flow of the two creeks and the flushing
action of tidal waters into and out of the area salt marshes (the
eastern salt marsh especially) are greatly impeded by the
sandbar. This reduces the natural productivity and cleansing of
the polluted waters from the marsh and the creeks. Removing the
sandbar should greatly help this problem.

page 3
2.00 Need. The sediment buildup resulting "in the sandbar is (1)
restricting the natural flushing action :and draining of Saucepan
Creek into the ICW,'(2) hindering the natural;'draining of
Breakfast Creek into Saucepan Creek, (3)'allowing the retention
and buildup of fecal coliform bacteria and other pollutants in
the , two creeks and surrounding salt .marsh,, and ,(.4,} hindering the
natural'' drainage of the two creeks and the flushingtand:;X'iltering
of tidal waters to and from the surrounding salt- Mar's, h.
To solve the above problems, the 'proposal,is to dredge:yand; remove
about 44,444 cubic yards of sandbar on the 'east,:"side:.of. Saucepan
Creek• from the ICW north to and beyond Breakfast, Creek ending,
south of an existing boardwalk. This,includes,a.n 1. area about 600
feet long, with an average width of .200, feet; and,,310.feet deep.
No portion of the salt marsh will be affected. It is proposed
that the dredged sand will be deposited as part,.-,of a beach
renourishment program for the eroded east.,end.of:Ocean isle (see
Appendices) .
3.00 Alternative Analysis. There,are no' alternatives to the
proposed action other than leaving,the sandbar as-it is. During
time, with continual sedimentation occurring, the sandbar would
most likely increase in size, ultimately blocking the drainage of
the two creeks, further preventing the natural flushing and
removal of pollutants from the creeks and salt marsh.
4.00 Environmental Consequences.
(a) Ages in Land Use. Due to its origin, the sandbar has
never been used, nor is currently being used by any persons or
agencies. Terrestrial plant species cannot gain a hold on the
sandbar because of tidal fluctuations. Only a few species of
wildlife occasionally use tM6 sandbar as a loafing and feeding
area during periods of low tide. The attraction of the sandbar
during low tide and the resulting stimulation of avian wildlife
to nest could result in wasted reproductive.behavior. Removal of
the sandbar would, therefore, be a positive impact causing the
birds to spend their time more profitably in more stable,
nontidal habitats of a permanent nature. There will be no
significant negative impact to changes in , land use.
(b) wetlands. No wetlands exist on.the sandbar. The habitat
surrounding the sandbar is coastal salt marsh. Normally organic,
material is regularly removed and the sediment is deposited.by
the tides, allowing the salt marsh community to be highly
productive. Removal of the sandbar will be a positive impact,
increasing the flushing action and making the impacted eastern
portion of the salt marsh more productive than it presently is.
No wetland community and no salt marsh habitat will be disturbed
by the proposed dredging of the sandbar. There will be no
significant adverse impact to surrounding wetlands.

page 4
(c) Prime or Unique Agricultural Lands. No prime or unique
agricultural lands exist on the sandbar or in the surrounding
area. There will be no significant negative impact to prime or
unique agricultural lands.
(d) Public Lands Such as Parks. No federal, state, or local
parks exist on the sandbar or in the surrounding area. There
will be no significant negative impact to public lands.
(e) scenic and Recreational Areas. No designated federal,
state, or local scenic areas exist on the sandbar. However,
Saucepan Creek and Breakfast Creek are designated as local and
state recreational waterways. Because of the high fecal coliform
count in this water system, no shellfishing is allowed, nor
should any recreational activities, such as swimming or water
skiing, take place until the area waters are cleaned up.
Presently there is no boat access to Breakfast Creek due to the
sandbar.. Access to Saucepan Creek is limited to small outboard
boats. The proposed dredging project would have a positive
impact on the recreational and commercial use of both creeks.
There will be no significant negative impact to scenic and
recreational areas.
(f) Areas of Archeological or Historical Value. Due to the
method of origin and recency of the sandbar, no areas of
archeological or historical value exist on the sandbar. None
exist in the surrounding area. There will be no significant
negative impact to areas of archeological --or historical value.
(g) Air Quality. The only impact to the air would be during.
actual dredging activities due to pollution caused by the exhaust
of the machinery used. The impact to air quality would be minor
because the ICW is routinely dredged and boats regularly use the
waterway. Wind currents in this open area are moderately strong
and any air pollution would be quickly dispersed and diluted.
Air quality to any area should not be significantly impacted by
the proposed project.
(h) Ground Water Quality. The area around the proposed
project is regularly flooded by coastal tide waters. Ground
water and surface water are probably somewhat homogeneous.
Removal of the sandbar should increase the flushing action of the
eastern salt marsh, thereby reducing any present stagnation
caused by the blockage. There will be no,significant negative
impact to ground water quality.
(i) Noise Levels. Noise levels during the proposed project
should not exceed noise levels currently experienced by regular
dredging activities and boat traffic on the ICW. There will be
no significant negative impact created by noise levels.

page 5
(j) Water Supplies. No water supplies fit for human
consumption exist on the site of the proposed activity. The
water supplies of Saucepan Creek and Breakfast Creek have been
essentially blocked. Residents cannot enter or exit Breakfast
Creek in any kind of boat because of the sandbar. Saucepan Creek
is restricted to small outboards.
There will be no significant negative impact to consumable water
supplies. There will be a positive impact to the sport and
commercial use of the two creeks.
W Shellfish or Fish and Their Habitats. The sandbar does
not support any significant clam shellfish population (see
Appendices). oysters and clams are rather common shellfish
species along the North Carolina coast and are abundant in the
upper Saucepan Creek area. Although not a species of special
concern, any live oysters will be removed by the Division of
Marine Fisheries of the Department of Environment, Health and
Natural Resources or another designated agency before the
proposed project begins. It is estimated that about 5 bushels or
less of oysters are on the proposed project site.
Removal of the sandbar will not have any direct effect on fish or
fish habitats, but dredging of the sandbar could possibly produce
indirect effects, namely a short period of sediment loading into
the surrounding waters and an-increase-in tidal exchange in
Breakfast Creek.
There are no habitats on or adjacent to the site that would
support any fish species on the state or federal endangered or
threatened species lists, or the state special concern list. Any
sedimentation resulting from dredging activities is likely to be
minimal in scope and minuscule in comparison to the much larger
dredging activities periodically undertaken in.the surrounding
area in the maintenance of the inlet between Holden Beach, Ocean
Isle Beach, and the ICW. The increase in tidal exchange in
Breakfast Creek would most likely be beneficial to local fish
populations and would most likely improve sport and commercial
fisheries in the area (see Appendices).
Because no endangered, threatened, or special concern species of
aquatic invertebrates and fish are expected in the area of the
proposed project, there will be no significant negative impact.
(1) Wildlife and Their Habitats. No plant species are found
on the sandbar because no suitable habitats exist. Furthermore,
the sandbar is completely covered with water during high tide
(see Appendices).
Consequently, there will be no adverse impact to wildlife,
because none live on the sandbar due to the tides and flooding.

page 6
No federally endangered or threatened species of wildlife will be
negatively impacted by the proposed project. No state endangered
and threatened species will be adversely impacted by the proposed
project. Three state - listed special concern species were seen:
several Black Skimmers (Rhynchops niger) on the sandbar, several
Brown Pelicans (Pelicanus occidentalis) and a Tricolored Heron
(Egretta tricolor) flying overhead. These.and other avian
species, such as sandpipers''terns,'gulls, and passerines use the
sandbar as a loafing and feedingiarea only during low tides. -
None will be adversely impacted because the sandbar is completely
under water during high tides. No critical habitats exist on the
proposed project site (see Appendices).
(m) Introduction of Toxic Substances. No toxic substances
will be introduced to the area habitat during the proposed
dredging activities. There will be no significant negative
impact to the site by the introduction of toxic substances.
(n) Eutrophication of Receiving Waters. The proposed site
is regularly flooded by natural tidal action. Breakfast Creek
has difficulty draining after high tides because the sandbar
blocks the natural flow. Therefore, the water of Breakfast Creek
tends to remain somewhat backed up. There is, perhaps, an
increase in stagnation and nutrient levels as a result of septic
tank leakage and because natural tidal flushing is restricted by
the sandbar.
Saucepan Creek has a continuous flow even-at low tide because the
western half of the creek is more deeply channeled allowing some
exchange with tidal flow. Removal of the sandbar would further .
improve the flushing and tidal flow of Saucepan Creek. No long
term addition of nutrients to the receiving waters of the ICW are
expected to occur as a resu-It-of the proposal. There may be a
short term addition of nutrients as Breakfast Creek get cleaned
up as a result of the sandbar removal. Ultimately, a better -
than- present natural flushing of both creeks will occur. There
should be no significant negative impact due to eutrophication of
receiving waters.
5.00 Mitigative Measures. There will be no significant negative
impacts due to the proposed project. Therefore, mitigation
measures should not be necessary. Because of the positive
benefits to the salt marsh, both water systems, and recreational
and comercial users of the creeks, removal of the sandbar in
itself will be a positive mitigation measure.

page 7
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
No adverse environmental impacts are expected by the proposed
project because none of the environmental items under concern are
found at the sandbar site and will not be adversely impacted:.by;
dredging activities and removal of the sandbar. Instead,,several
items of concern will have positive environmental consequences :if
the proposed project is implemented. No EIS.should,.have-to , be
prepared

Dear Mr. Moore:
This letter is in response to your request for an environmental
assessment of the impact on wildlife by the proposed dredging of
a sandbar at the mouth of Saucepan Creek at its juncture with the
Intracoastal Waterway in Brunswick County, North Carolina.
On 6 June 1997, Mr. Christopher Sowers, a botanist, Dr. Doug
Holland, a fish /aquaculture biologist, Chad Gray, Dr. Holland's
assistant, and I surveyed the proposed dredging site during low
tide. The sandbar contains no plants except some debris that is
trapped during low tide. The sandbar is completed covered with
water during periods of high tide. There is simply no suitable
wildlife habitat. The sandbar can only be used by wildlife
during periods of low tide as a site for resting or loafing, and
feeding. No nesting can occur.
During our visit, the followirng avian species were seen or heard:
Black Skimmers (gvnchous ni.Qer), Willets- (Catoptrophorus
semigalmatus), Common Terns (tea ha,nindQ), Sanderlings
(Calir3ris tea), a Tricolored Heron (Egretta tricolor), Laughing
Gulls (fig atricilla),.Brown Pelicans (Pelecanus occidentalis),
Least Terns (Sterna antillarum), Red - winged Blackbirds (gaelaius
nhoeniceus) , Boat- tailed Grackles (Qui scales major) , a
Semipalmated Plover (Charadrius semipalmatus), and a Great Egret
(Casmerodius mss). Most of these were seen flying by or over
the project area. None of these species are on the federal or
state endangered or threatened species lists. Three species, the
Black Skimmer, Brown Pelican, and Tricolored Heron are on the
state's special concern list. However, none of these species can
use the sandbar as nesting habitat because of its daily tidal
inundations.
The area salt marshes will not be adversely impacted. As I see
it, removal of the sandbar will produce a positive impact to the
surrounding salt marsh by opening up Saucepan Creek, and
especially Breakfast Creek which is almost completely blocked of
natural water flow. To me, this is an area of great concern.
The natural flow of tidal waters into and out of the eastern salt
marsh especially, are greatly impeded, thus reducing the natural
productivity of the marsh. Removing the sandbar should greatly

help this problem. COASTAL MANAGEMENT
Presently there is impediment to all boating use of Breakfast
Creek. Saucepan Creek has reduced use during periods of low
tide. At that, only small outboards can pass during high tide.
Thus the recreational value of this water system is greatly,,,
reduced. Removal of the sandbar will correct this,,problem".
Other environmental concerns such as impacts to air 'and water
quality, public lands, scenic and recreational areas, .
agricultural lands, archeological or historical sites, or impacts -
due to increased levels of noise, eutrophication, or toxic
substances will all be negative because the items of,,concern are
either absent, minimal, or instead, will be benefited,by; the.
proposed project. There may be some slight adverse,`,impacts ' to a
few aquatic lifeforms during the actual dredging`"process` but
these slight impacts will be far outweighed by the long term
benefits to the ecology of the area.
I have conducted numerous environmental assessments for many
different agencies over the years, and never have`I had such an
"easy" and needed project. Simply stated, the proposed project
of dredging the'sandbar will not negatively impact any area
wildlife. No critical habitats will be adversely impacted by the
proposed project. The waterways and salt marsh will, instead, be
benefited.
If you have any questions, or need additional information, please
do not hesitate to contact me.

Dear Mr. Moore,
On June 6, 1997 my assistant Chad Gray and I visited a site
near the mouth of Saucepan Creek which is located on the mainland
side of the Intracoastal Waterway across from the inlet between
Holden Beach, NC and Ocean Isle Beach,,NC.
Accompanied by.Dr. Dick Brown and Mr. Chris Sowers, we
observed a migrating sandbar that runs from near the mouth of
Saucepan Creek to a point several hundred feet upstream. Chad
Gray and I participated in this site visit to determine if any
negative impact to local fish populations is likely to result
from a proposed dredging of the sandbar up to and including the
mouth of Breakfast Creek.
The sandbar is completely inundated at high tide, and was
observed at low tide. Removal of the sandbar will not have any
direct effect on fish or fish habitats, but dredging of the
sandbar could possibly produce indirect effects, namely a short
period of sediment loading into the surrounding waters and an
increase in tidal exchange in Breakfast Creek.
There are no habitats on or adjacent-to the site that would
support any fish species on the state or f6deral endangered or
threatened species lists. Any sedimentation resulting from
dredging activities is likely to be minimal in scope and
miniscule in comparison to the much larger dredging activities
periodically undertaken in the surrounding area in the
maintenance of the inlet between Holden Beach and Ocean Isle
Beach and the Intracoastal Waterway. The increase in tidal
exchange in Breakfast Creek would most likely be beneficial to
local fish populations and would likely improve sport and
commercial fisheries in the area.
It is my opinion that the dredging of Sausepan Creek up to
Breakfast Creek will have minimal detrimental impacts on fish
populations and sport and commercial fisheries in the area, and
that the potential benefits to fisheries of such dredging far
outweigh any such minimal detrimental effects.
Best Regards,

14 June 1997
On 6 June 1997, Dr. Dick Brown, Dr. Doug Holland, and I
site - visited the sandbar at the mouth of Saucepan Creek
located along the Intracoastal Waterway at the inlet between
Ocean Isle and Holden Beach to determine any negative impact
that might occur from dredging up to Breakfast Creek.
We visited the site at low tide, crossing the shallow
channel running down the east bank of Saucepan Creek. The
sandy shoal is completely inundated at high tide and
supports no vascular plants. Therefore, no federal
endangered or threatened plant species are directly open to
impact on the shoal itself and no state endangered,
threatened,_or special concern species are found there.
Plants of concern for Brunswick County (Mike Gantt, 7 March,
1994) are two federally endangered plant species (Thalictrum -
cooleyi /Cooley's Meadowrue found in moist bogs and
savannahs, and Lysimachia asperulaefolia /Rough - leaved
Loosestrife found in pocosins), and one federally threatened
species (Amaranthus pumilus /Seabeach Amaranth found in beach
front habitat and sea dunes). Only one of these habitats is
seen at the Saucepan Creek site (viz., beach front and dunes
for the waterway),but even if Seabeach Amaranth were present
in that area it could exist without any.negative impact from
the proposed dredging action on the sandy shoal. What I have
stated about the three federally endangered and threatened
plant species above is equally valid with the eight state
endangered, eight state threatened, and the one state
concerned status plant species (Natural Heritage Program
Element List for Brunswick County as of 16 May 1994).
Habitat is not available on the sandbar, therefore there is
no negative impact.
Coastal wetlands exist on both the west and east banks of
Saucepan Creek, and are dominated by Salt Marsh Cord Grass
(Spartina alterniflora), Black Needle Rush (Juncus
roemerianus), Sea Oxeye (Borrichia frutescens), Glasswort
(Salicornia virginica), and Salt Grass (Distichlis spicata) .

These wetlands are of primary interest as nutrient AUG 011997
production areas supporting crustacean, fish, and mollusk n'VlSrc'N! �F
development, as well as forage and refuge sites for b-f TAL MANAGEMENT
and other wildlife. Wetlands are good buffers and transition
zones between upland areas and aquatic systems, as they act
as natural filters of sediments and nutrients from upland
sources, and they serve as.valuable wildlife habitat. These
wetlands can only be made more accessible to the natural
tide flow and irrigated more efficently by the flushing made
possible by the removal of the sandbar at the mouth of
Saucepan Creek.
On our way down to the creek from the upland area on the,
east side we observed residential lawn, field, scrub, and
Loblolly Pine communities. Common species for the
residential community included ornamentals (Nerium oleander,
Butia capitata, Sabal palmetto, Elaeagnus pungens, Euonymus
japonicus, Populus deltoides, and Yucca aloifolia) ,
Centipede Grass (Eremochloa.ophiuroides), and weedy species
like Pennywort (Hydrocotyle bonariensis), Lippia ( Lippia
nodiflora), and Bermuda Grass (Cynodon dactylon).
The disturbed field community was dominated by graminoids
(like Little Bluestem /Andropogon scoparius and Virginia
Wildrye /Elymus virginicus), herbs (like Poor -man's Pepper
/Lepidium virginicum, Grass - leaved Ladies' Tresses
/Spiranthes praecox, Annual Queen Anne's Lace /Daucus
pusillus, and Wild Lettuce /Lactuca canadensis), and vines
(like Peppervine /Ampolepsis arborea, Catbrier /Smilax
auriculata, Virginia Creeper /Parthenocissus quinquefolia,
Poison Ivy /Rhus radicans,and Creeping Cucumber /Melothria
pendula). The scrub community included Gxoundsels (Baccharis
halimifolia. and B. angustifolia), Wax Myrtle (Myrica
cerifera),-Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana), Marsh
Elder (Iva frutescens),and Yaupon (Ilex vomitoria). Some
Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda) appeared to be suffering and
losing needles (possible lack of drainage)just up from the
juncture of the two creeks on the east bank, although good
stands of Loblolly Pine exist both on the west and northeast
side of Saucepan Creek. Voucher plant specimens representing
a transect made across the east bank of Saucepan Creek on
13 June 1997 from the residential road impasse to the creek
were collected and deposited in the Brunswick Community
College Herbarium.

Investigation of the sandy shoal itself revealed only an
unremarkable spit of sand edged with Spartina culms and
loblolly pine cones (Pinus taeda) washed there by rain and
tide. Common mid - Atlantic algal species like Sea Lettuce
(Ulva lactuca), Deadman's Fingers (Codiaeum sp.), and
Irish Moss (Chondrus sp.)were also seen occasionally in the
shallow tidal pools, but are not endangered, threatened, nor;
of special concern.
It is obvious that Saucepan and Breakfast creeks-.are.
becoming landlocked essentially by the sandbar at'the mouth.
of Saucepan Creek, although a narrow, shallow channel flows
along the east bank and a narrow, deep channel flows along
the west bank allowing some exchange with tidal f16w.,Though
the removal of the sandbar also opens the area up to'
commercial and recreational activities potentially, the area
is clearly posted on both sides of the creek as unsafe for
shellfishing at the present. This seems to justify the
reopening of the original path of Saucepan and Breakfast
creeks. Primary impact on wetlands on either side of
Saucepan Creek should only be positive. No critical habitat
nor flora will be destroyed by removal of the sandbar.
If you have any questions, please contact me.

Dear Mr. Moore,
As per our phone conversation of February 25, 1997, 1 am writing this letter to
present you the results of my informal shellfish investigation of the lower mouth region
of Saucepan Creek.
On January 28, 1 met Marine Patrol Officer Billy Ray Lanier at Dalt's on Shallotte
Point. Loaded with regular clam rakes, a meter - square, and notepad, we motored to the
mouth of Saucepan Creek and proceeded approximately 700 feet up the creek at a low
ebbing tide. This area has a deep channel along the west side of the creek with a sandy
shoal area somewhat in the middle, then a smaller, shallower channel running down the
Sys; west- bank of the creek (see diagram). We approached the shoal area below Breakfast
Creek and began a cross - sectional sampling of that area.
The sampling procedure consisted of tossing the meter - square randomly and then
raking the bottom within that one square meter. Ten samples were taken with a total of 8
clams being found. The greatest number of clams (4) found at any one site was closest
to the entrance of Breakfast Creek on the east channel side. Only four more were found
and they were lower and closer to the mouth of Saucepan Creek, yet still on the eastern
side. No clams were found in the sandy shoal areas, as expected. Therefore, I conclude
that this specific area does not support any significant' shellfish population. Eight clams
in an area as large as was sampled (approx. % acre) does not constitute a significant
number.
I hope this information will suffice and if you have any further needs on this matter,
please don't hesitate to call. My extension number is 258.
Sincerely yours,

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is located at the mouth of Saucepan Creek. Saucepan Creek is a small tributary
located on the north shore of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway near its confluence with the
Shallotte River. The site is accessed from the end of Atlantic Ave., off Shell Point Rd., south of
Shallotte, NC, in Brunswick County. Saucepan Creek it approximately 300 -350 feet wide at its
mouth. It is bordered on both sides by extensive Smooth Cordgrass (Sr)artina alterniflora) marsh..
The mouth and east side of the creek are shallow due to the development of a large sand shoal.
In the project area, the main creek channel is located on the west side of the creek, but it
narrows and gets shallow as the shoal's sand plume spreads across the creek mouth at it's
confluence with the AIWW. There is a small channel on the east side of the creek which feeds
the Breakfast Creek tributary of Saucepan Creek, approximately 600 feet north of the AIWW.
However, this channel is nearly dry at low water and shoaling sand is also migrating up the mouth
of Breakfast Creek, restricting it's flow.
The waters of Saucepan Creek are classified as SA, by the N.C. Division of Water Resources, and
are CLOSED to the harvest of shellfish. The area is not a designated Primary Nursery Area by the
N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries.
The applicants, long time residents and fishermen in the area, remember the days when Saucepan
Creek was deep and navigable at all tides, and open for the harvest of shellfish. They believe that
the development of the sand bar and shoaling at the mouth of the creek have restricted water
flow to adversely affect water quality, as well as, the obvious effect on navigation. They
proposes to open the creek by excavating the sand shoal to make the channel wider and deeper.
The excavated area would be 200 feet wide and 600 feet long, extending from the mouth of the
Saucepan Creek to the confluence of Breakfast Creek. The excavation would be completed by
hydraulic dredging. The material removed from the shoal would be pumped to the east end of
Ocean Isle Beach for beach renourishment. The area is currently used for sandy spoils deposition
by the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers in conjunction with maintenance dredging of the AIWW, as
well as, the Town of Ocean Isle Beach which has a State Permit (# 52 -92) to dredge a channel in
Shallotte Inlet. The applicants have completed grain size analysis of the material in the area to be
excavated to show its compatibility with the beach sand, and have permission from the Town of
Ocean Isle Beach to pump the sand to the beach.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The proposed project would disturb approximately 120,000 square feet of shallow, inter -tidal
sand bottom. The proposed excavation would create 18,000 to 20,000 cubic yards of sandy
spoils material. Its deposition on the east end of Ocean Isle would temporarily disturb up to
700,000 square feet of unvegetated beach, however, it is unlikely that the 20,000 cubic yards of
spoil material from this project would impact the entire 3,000 lineal feet of beach previously
permitted for renourishment. There are potential impacts to nesting sea turtles on the beach, and
other aquatic species at the dredging site. However, these impacts could be minimize by timing
the project to avoid periods of peak biological activity and turtle nesting cycles.

Brunswick County Marine Fisheries Advisory Board
c/o Arden Moore
Page 3
The removal of the shoal at the mouth of Saucepan Creek would improve the flow of tidal waters
into and out of adjacent salt marshes, especially on the east side of the creek. And although the
flushing capacity of the creek may improve and bacteria counts may decrease, it is unlikely that
the project will solve the contamination problem. The more likely sources of contamination are
failing septic tank systems and storm water run -off from adjacent development along Saucepan
Creek's entire drainage basin. Obviously, there would be positive impacts to navigation, however,
review of 1978, 1984, and 1989 aerial photography shows that the sandbar and shoal have been
in existence for some time. Given that the existing hydrology of the surrounding water bodies will
continue to deposit suspended sediments in this area and the shoal across of the creek mouth,
the channel may need regular maintenance every few years to ensure long -term success of the
navigational aspects of the project.
