Subject:
Mattamuskeet Barge Canal Maintenance Group
Date: -
January 4, 2022
A CAMA Major Permit application is under review for a project located off
SR1311, North Lake Road, +10 miles NW of Engelhard and is a manmade canal that connects to
the Alligator River +3.6 miles south of the A1W W cut in Hyde County, North Carolina. The
applicant is proposing to conduct maintenance excavation in Barge Canal, a man-made
waterway, and an entrance channel into the Alligator River. The entrance channel measures 70'
wide x 1,080' long, the canal measures 70' wide x 7,170' long, and the boat basin measures 150'
wide x 445' long. All sections will have a final project depth of -10' below NWL. In total
48,66.8ft cubic feet of material would be removed consisting mainly of organic muck and sand.
Spoil will be offloaded near the head of the canal along a section of bulkheaded shoreline and be
loaded into dump trucks. The approximately 4-acre spoil area will contain all materials until dry
at which time it will be seeded over or placed on adjacent farm land,
Staff has reviewed the proposed project regarding rules found in Subchapter 714
concerning development in Estuarine Water and Public Trust Areas. The project appears
consistent with rules set for in 15A NCAC 07H.0208(b)(1) addressing navigation channels,
basins and maintenance excavation within those areas. It is staff s recommendation the
application be permitted as requesting with standard permit conditions'for maintenance
excavation and include environmental dredging windows as prescribed by resource agencies.

A North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) Fisheries Resource Specialist has
reviewed the permit application for proposed actions that may impact fish and/or fish habitats.
The proposed work is a manmade barge canal located adjacent to 41h Avenue, within Hyde
County, North Carolina. The existing canal varies from approximately 80' to 150' wide, is
roughly 4 miles long, and has an original excavated depth of -12' below normal water level
(NWL). A marked navigation channel exits from the mouth of the canal to the Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) in the Alligator River. The entrance channel, canal, and basin
have all shoaled since the last maintenance event (permit issued on December 18, 2007). Depths
in the entrance channel average -7.4' below normal low water (NLW), with some areas as
shallow as -4'.
The Mattamuskeet Barge Canal Maintenance Group (MBCMG) is seeking authorization to
undertake maintenance excavation in the shoaled areas of the canal using bucket and barge. The
entrance channel measures 70' wide by 1,080' feet long, the canal measures 70' wide by 7,170'
Iong, and the boat basin measures 150' wide by 445' long. All sections will have a final project
depth of -10' below NWL. In total, 48,668 cubic feet (CF) of material would be removed. The
anticipated impacts mentions that additional maintenance excavation events may be needed if
current shoaling rates continue.
The Alligator River is designated as an Anddromous Fish Spawning Area (AFSA) under joint
jurisdiction between the DMF and the NC Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC). Many
anadromous species have specific requirements for spawning habitat, such as water temperature,
flow rate, and salinity. Areas designated as AFSA have shown evidence of spawning of
anadromous species through direct observation of spawning, capture of running ripe females,
and/or indication of eggs or early larvae, and have been found to exhibit the specific
requirements of these species.
DMF has reviewed the project and does not object to permit issuance for the proposed work.
However, because the Alligator River is designated as AFSA, DMF recommends that the permit
include a 15 February through 30 September moratorium for all in -water work within the
Alligator River. DMF would also recommend that a turbidity curtain be installed across the
mouth of the canal during excavation operations in the canal in order to minimize the potential

Dear Mr. Howell:
Reference the application of the Mattamuskeet Barge Canal Maintenance Group for a
Department of the Army permit to perform maintenance excavation within 644,250 sq ft of the
existing man-made Barge Canal, resulting in the removal of 48,668 cu yds of material, located
off North Lake Road, adjacent to the Alligator River, near Engelhard, in Hyde County, North
Carolina.
The Federal agencies have completed review of the proposal as presented by the
application and your field investigation report.
We recommend that the following conditions be included in the State authorization:
1. All work authorized by this permit must be performed in strict compliance with the
attached plans, which are a part of this permit. Any modification to these plans must be approved
by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) prior to implementation.
2. The permittee understands and agrees that, if future operations by the United States
require the removal, relocation, or other alteration, of the structure or work herein authorized, or
if, in the opinion of the Secretary of the Army or his authorized representative, said structure or
work shall cause unreasonable obstruction to the free navigation of the navigable waters, the
permittee will be required, upon due notice from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, to remove,
relocate, or alter the structural work or obstructions caused thereby, without expense to the
United States. No claim shall be made against the United States on account of any such removal,
relocation, or alteration. The permittee shall notify NOAA/NATIONAL OCEAN SERVICE

the turbidity in the waterbody is 50 NTU's or less in all rivers not designated as trout waters by
the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM), 25 NTU's or less in all
saltwater classes and in all lakes and reservoirs, and 10 NTU's or less in trout waters, are not
considered significant.
12. The permittee, upon receipt of a notice of revocation of this permit or upon its
expiration before completion of the work will, without expense to the United States and in such
time and manner as the Secretary of the Army or his authorized representative may direct, restore
the water or wetland to its pre -project condition.

I did not clarify that request well this year or in 2007. The 2007 project was only a 730' channel that
was half in the canal and half in the river, so the curtain was to be maintained throughout the
duration of the canal work. Since the current proposal is 7,170' within the canal and 1,080' in the
river I think if the curtain was installed for the 1,000' of excavation closest to the mouth, it should
suffice.
Does that address what you need?

Hey Maria,
Quick question. When you talk about the curtain at the mouth of the canal, that is just for work at
the mouth correct and not during all operations within the canal? If so, is there a distance from the
mouth of the canal that would not require the curtain?
Thanks for the clarification,

Mattamuskeet Barge Canal Maintenance Group (MBCMG)
Maintenance Dredging
Hyde County
Proiect Settin
The project site is located off SRI 311, North Lake Road, + 10 miles NW of Engelhard
and is a manmade canal that connects to the Alligator River +3.6 miles south of the AIWW cut
in Hyde County, North Carolina, The existing canal varies from +80' to +150' wide, and is +4
miles long, and has an original excavated depth of - 12' below normal water level (NWL). A
marked navigation channel exits from the mouth of the canal out to the AIWW channel in the
Alligator River. The entrance channel, canal, and basin have shoaled since the last maintenance
event. Depth in the entrance channel average -7.4' below NLW with some areas shallow as -4.0'
The original excavation of the canal predates the LAMA and State Dredge and Law, but
the project location has had two previous maintenance events authorized under LAMA Major
Permits. LAMA Major Permit No. 99-81 was issued to SEG Anstalt on August 6'h 1981 for
additional excavation and construction within the canal system, this permit expired. LAMA
Major Permit No 198-07 was issued to the MBCMG on December 18, 2007 for maintenance
excavation within the canal and entrance channel into the Alligator River, this permit has
expired. These permits authorized a finished depth of -I I' and - 12' below NWL respectively.
The membership of the MBCMG has changed since the previous issuance but the purpose and
need remain providing adequate navigation for traffic carrying ag related products.
The Alligator Rover, the connecting waterbody to this manmade canal, is an estuarine
waterbody as designated by the Division of Marine Fisheries and is classified as SC, Sw, ORW
by the Environmental Resources Commission.
Pro 'ect Description
The Ml3CMG is seeking authorization to undertake maintenance excavation in the
shoaled areas of the canal using bucket and barge. The entrance channel measures 70' wide x
1,080' long, the canal measures 70' wide x 7,170' long, and the boat basin measures 150' wide x
445' long. All sections will have a final project depth of -10' below NWL. In total 48,668ft cubic
feet of material would be removed consisting mainly of organic muck and sand.
Spoil will be offloaded near the head of the canal along a section of bulkheaded shoreline
and be loaded into dump trucks. The approximately 4-acre spoil area will contain all materials
until dry at which time it will be seeded over or placed on adjacent farm land.
Anticipated. Impacts
The project will impact 644,250ft2 of previously impacted canal and Alligator River
bottom and approximately 4-acres of uplands that is a designated spoil area. Future maintenance
event in the entrance canal may be required within 5 years if shoaling continues at current rates
and maintenance events within the canal and basin are expected to occur less frequently.
Localized noise and turbidity are expected during excavation

(N 36.6475, W -76.0383) and ±10 miles NW of Engelhard, The Barge Canal and the ag related
infrastructure adjacent the terminus ofthe canal call be accessed by motor vehicles by taking 4"'
Avenue, all UllinlProved dirt road off Sr 1311, North Lake Road. The MBCMG originally formed
in 2007 and consisted of the landowners at the head of the canal/basin. This group of landowners
made application for maintenance of the entrance channel through the DEQ Express Permit
Program and received Major CAMA/Dredge and Fill permit no. 198-07 oil December 18, 2007.
Since 2007 Mr. Bell Simmons has acquired the former Coastal Producers property and is the
principle owner off.,"astCarolina l,'at-iiiijigCorporatioii. llydeouiVeiittiresi.,I.,Ciiasjoined forces
with Mr. Simmons as part of the MBCMG. At this time Mattamuskeet Ventures ITC is not
participating in this maintenance excavation permit. Maintenance excavation of tile basin at tile
head of the canal/basin will stop at the joint, northern property line between Mattamuskeet
Ventures atid East Carolina Farming Corporation. "I'lie purpose of this previous maintenance
excavation request was to restore adequate water depths to support barge traffic transporting age
related products in support of' large local farming operations. This purpose and need remains
unchanged. 'File Division of Water Resources 401 Water Quality Certification Program issued a
General Water Quality Certification no. 3624 and assigned this application project no. 07-1958
and the Corps Litilized aTier 11 Programmatic General Permit and assigned the pro.ject Action Id.
No, SAW-2007-04016 , The work authorized by this permit was conducted in the winter of 2008.
Since 2008 shoaling has occurred again within the previously authorized area of maintenance
excavation at the canal confluence with the Alligator River as well as a new area located in the last
1.5 miles of the canal. Channel depths at the canal entrance have shoaled as much as - 4.0' to
averaging 7.4'below the normal water level (NWL), Further Up the canal depths have shallowed
as intich as -5.0' averaging -7.3 to -8.0' below the normal water level (NWL). Major

the authorized excavation area was 70' wide x 700,' long. The current shoaling at the entrance is
located within the previously authorized entrance channel.
The MBCMG is now seeking authorization to undertake maintenance excavation in the shoaled
areas of'(he canal. The maintenance excavation will be completed tising, a long reach excavator
operating from a barge pushed/maneuvered by a tug boat, The barge has a contaimnent system
for the spoil material and is the same barge and tug; that was utilized for this work in 2008. The

barge and tug boat were purchased by a MI3CMG member from the contractor who completed the
work in 2008. A floating turbidity curtain will be deployed across the canal during excavation
activities to limit dispersion of turbidity outside the affected excavated areas. Spoil material will
be ot'lloaded at an area of shoreline currently used to moor the tug and barge. The canal bank in
this location is stabilized with a metal sheet pile bulkhead, This area was used as an offloading
area in 2008. Spoil will be placed in dump trucks where it will be trucked into a designated > 3-
acre upland spoil area immediately ad.jacent the canal and unloading area. The upland spoil area
has an elevated gravel road that encircles the spoil are on three sides. A silt fence will delineate
the limits of the spoil area adjacent the basin and maintain a 30' grassed buffer between the
disturbed area and basin. The spoil is characterized as highly organic woody detrital material and
by volume is mostly water. Based on the previous maintenance excavation work the spoil material
remains in place and is not erosive by either wind nor rain. The spoil material will be allowed to
dry. Once the material has dried it will cither be sloped, graded and seeded down or loaded onto
to dump trucks and trucked to nearby active cropland where it will be spread and worked into the
field. An erosion control plan for the spoil area will be submitted to DUMLIZ tinder as separate
submittal.
Maintenance excavation of the basin at the head of the canal will be conducted, where feasible
from the basin shoreline on Ben Simmons property using a long reach excavator. Spoil will be
placed on uplands a rnimmurn 30' from the NWL of the basin.
There are two areas of shoaling that will be priority due to the shallow depths and are shown on
sheets, 8-10. The M13CMG proposes to address these areas first. The entrance channel shown oil
sheet 10 isl,080' long with depths ranging Erom -4' to -9' averaging -7.4' below NWL The
entrance channel will be maintained at 70' wide with a final proJect depth of -10' below NWL
resulting in 7,280 cubic yards of spoil. The next area ol'shoaling; is approximately I mile further
tip the canal. Depths in this section average front -7,35' to -7.88' and shallow as much as -5.0'
below NWL for a distance 2,640'. The width of the channel in the canal will be maintained at 70'
wide. Maintenance excavation to a max final depth of-10' will result it) 16,324 cubic yards of
spoil. Upstream of these locations shoaled areas of the canal will be excavated to maintain as
minimum -8 never to exceed the adjacent
jacent connecting water depth, "this will allow flexibility in
removing lumps in the canal bottom that are shallower than the tug draft at -7.0'. A minimum
depth of-8.0' will be maintained in the 150' basin at the project terminus. As equipment and
personnel are available from the local large farm operations the remaining excavation work will
be completed to -10' below the NW1, in all authorized areas of canal and basin as shown on
the attached pro.ject maps to a final project depth of - 10 below the NWL
'. Fhe entrance channel is expected to shoal in overtime but the frequency of maintenance excavation
events is unknown and likely dependent on the number of large storm events that affect the project
at-ca. It is likely that within 5 years maintenance excavation of the entrance channel will be
required. Further tip the canal and into the basin it is anticipated that the pro.ject depths will
maintain themselves for an extended period of time once the maintenance excavation is completed

Dear Mr, Parks:
Enclosed is a revised Major CAMA/Dredge and Fill permit application to be submitted on behalf of the
Mattamuskeet Barge Canal Maintenance Group (MBCMG) for maintenance excavation of the Barge Canal
offthe Alligator River. This application package contains a corrected project narrative cover letter different
from the letter contained in the application package delivered to you on September 9, 2021. The
aforementioned application submittal to you contained a version of the narrative cover letter that incorrectly
stated that Mattamuskeet Ventures LLC (MV) was a member to the group supporting the proposed
maintenance excavation of the canal. Since learning of MV concerns with the project we have decided to
remove any excavation work shown in the package within MV riparian area stopping the work at the joint
property line between MV and East Carolina Fanning Corporation, Nothing else in the project scope and
application has changed from the package you received on September 9,202 1. The proposed maintenance
excavation will utilize a barge and a long reach excavator or crane and clam shell bucket. Spoil material
from the maintenance excavation activities will be offloade,d and stockpiled on property owned by Mr. Ben
Simmons III located at the terminus of the canal. I am submitting this application package to you as agent
and on behalf of Mr, Simmons, The specifies of the proposed work are in the enclosed application forms
and drawings.
As the adjacent riparian property owner to the aforementioned project, I am required to notify you of the
development in order to give you the opportunity to comment on the project as part of a prescribed
environmental permit process administered by the NC Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM). Please
review the attached permit application and drawings.
Should you have any objections or comments concerning this proposal, please send your written comments
to Mr. Kelly Spivey, DCM District Manager, Washington Regional Office, 943 Washington Square Mail,

Mattamuskeet Barge Canal Maintenance Group (MBCMCF
Maintenance Dredging
Hyde County
Project Setting
The project site is located off SRI 311, North Lake Road, +10 miles NW of Engelhard
and is a manmade canal that connects to the Alligator River +3.6 miles south of the AIWW cut
in Hyde County, North Carolina. The existing canal varies from +80' to +150' wide, and is +4
miles long, and has an original excavated depth of - 12' below normal water level (NWL). A
marked navigation channel exits from the mouth of the canal out to the AIWW channel in the
Alligator River. The entrance channel, canal, and basin have shoaled since the last maintenance
event. Depth in the entrance channel average -7.4' below NLW with some areas shallow as -4.0'
The original excavation of the canal predates the LAMA and State Dredge and Law, but
the project location has had two previous maintenance events authorized under CAMA Major
Permits. LAMA Major Permit No. 99-81 was issued to SEG Anstalt on August Wh 1981 for
additional excavation and construction within the canal system, this permit expired. CAMA
Major Permit No 198-07 was issued to the MBCMG on December 18, 2007 for maintenance
excavation within the canal and entrance channel into the Alligator River, this permit has
expired. These permits authorized a finished depth of -I V and -12' below NWL respectively.
The membership of the MBCMG has changed since the previous issuance but the purpose and
need remain providing adequate navigation for traffic carrying ag related products.
The Alligator Rover, the connecting waterbody to this manmade canal, is an estuarine
waterbody as designated by the Division of Marine Fisheries and is classified as SC, Sw, ORW
by the Environmental Resources Commission.
Project Description
The MBCMG is seeking authorization to undertake maintenance excavation in the
shoaled areas of the canal using bucket and barge. The entrance channel measures 70' wide x
1,080' long, the canal measures 70' wide x 7,170' long, and the boat basin measures 150' wide x
445' long. All sections will have a final project depth of -10' below NWL. In total 48,668ft cubic
feet of material would be removed consisting mainly of organic muck and sand.
Spoil will be offloaded near the head of the canal along a section of bulkheaded shoreline
and be loaded into dump trucks. The approximately 4-acre spoil area will contain all materials
until dry at which time it will be seeded over or placed on adjacent farm land.
Anticipated Impacts
The project will impact 644,250ft2 of previously impacted canal and Alligator River
bottom and approximately 4-acres of uplands that is a designated spoil area. Future maintenance
event in the entrance canal may be required within 5 years if shoaling continues at current rates
and maintenance events within the canal and basin are expected to occur less frequently.
Localized noise and turbidity are expected during excavation

Dear Mr. Staples:
Enclosed is a Major C.AMA/Dredge and Fill permit application submitted on behalf of the
Mattamuskeet Barge Canal Maintenance Group (MBCMG) for maintenance excavation of the
Barge Canal off the Alligator River located ± 3.6 miles south of the AIWW cut in Hyde County
(N 36.6475, W -76.0383) and ±10 miles NW of Engelhard, The Barge Canal and the ag related
infrastructure a(tiacent the terminus of the canal can be accessed by motor vehicles by taking 4"'
Avenue, an unimproved dirt road olTSR 1311, North Lake Road. The MBCMG originally formed
in 2007 and consisted of the landowners at the head of the canal/basin, This group of landowners
made application for maintenance of the entrance channel through the D17Q Express Permit
Program and received MaJor CAMA/Dredge and Fill permit no. 198-07 on December 18, 2007.
Since 2007 Mr. Ben Simmons has acquired the former Coastal Producers property and is the
principle owner of fast Carolina Farming Corporation, Hydeout Ventures LLC has joined forces
with Mr. Simmons as part of the MBCMG. At this time MattarnUskeet Ventures LLC is not
participating in this maintenance excavation permit. Maintenance excavation of the basin at the
head of the canal/basin will stop at the joint, northern property line between Mattamuskeet
Ventures and East Carolina Farming Corporation. The purpose of this previous maintenance
excavation request was to restore adequate water depths to support barge traffic transporting ag
related products in support of large local fari-ning operations. This purpose and need remains
unchanged. The Division of Water Resources 401 Water Quality Certification Program issued a
General Water Quality Certification no. 3,624 and assigned this application project no. 07-1958
and the Corps utilized a,rier ii Programmatic General Permit and assigned the project Action Id.
No. SAW-2007-04016, The work authorized by this permit was conducted in the winter of 2008.
Since 2008 shoaling has Occurred again within the pl-CVIOLISIY authorized area of' maintenance
excavation at the canal confluence with the Alligator River as well as a new area located in the last
1.5 miles of the canal. Channel depths at the canal entrance have shoaled as much as - 4.0' to
averaging 7.4'below the normal water level (NWL). Further Lip the canal depths have shallowed
as much as -5.0' averaging -7.3 to -8.0' below the normal water level (NWL). Major CAMA
Dredge and l"'Ill, permit no. 198-07 condition the project depth to minus I I' below the NWL and
the authorized excavation area was 70' wide x 700' long. The current shoaling at the entrance is
located within the previously authorized entrance channel.
'File MBCMG is now seeking authorization to, undertake maintenance excavation in the shoaled
areas of the canal. The maintenance excavation will be cornPlCtCd using a long reach excavator
operating from a barge pushed/maneuvered by a tug boat. The barge has a containment system
for the spoil material and is the same barge and tug that was utilized for this work in 2008. J'he

Mr. Shane Staples
September 2, 2021

barge and tug boat were purchased by a MBCMG member from the contractor who completed the
work in 2008. A floating turbidity curtain will be deployed across the canal during excavation
activities to limit dispersion of turbidity outside the affected excavated areas. Spoil material will
be offloaded at an area of shoreline currently used to nioor the tug and barge. The canal bank in
this location is stabilized with a metal sheet pile bulkhead. 'this area was used as an offloading
area in 2008. Spoil will be placed in dump trucks where it will be trucked into a designated > 3-
acre upland spoil area immediately adjacent the canal and unloading area. The upland spoil area
has an elevated gravel road that encircles the spoil are on three sides. A silt fence will delineate
the limits of the spoil area adjacent the basin and maintain a 30' grassed buffer between the
disturbed area and basin, The spoil is characterized as highly organic woody detrital material and
by VOIUMC is mostly water. Based on the previous maintenance excavation work the spoil material
remains in place and is not erosive by either wind nor rain. The spoil material will be allowed to
dry. Once the material has dried it will either be sloped, graded and seeded down or loaded onto
to dump trucks and trucked to nearby active cropland where it will be spread and worked into the
field. An erosion control plan for the spoil area will be submitted to DEMLR tinder a separate
submittal.
Maintenance excavation of the basin at the head of the canal will be conducted, where feasible
from the basin shoreline on Ben Simmons property using a long reach excavator. Spoil will be
placed on uplands a minimum 30' fironi the NWL ofthe basin.
There are two areas of slioaliDg that will be priority due to the shallow depths and are shown on
sheets 8-10. The MBCMG proposes to address these areas first. The entrance channel shown on
sheet 10 isl,080' long with depths ranging From -4` to -9' averaging -7.4' below NWL The
entrance channel will be maintained at 70' wide with a final project depth of -10' below NWL
resulting in 7,280 cubic yards of spoil. The next area of shoaling is approximately I mile further
up the canal, Depths in this section average from -7.35' to -7.88' and shallow as much as -5.0'
below NWL for a distance 2,640'. The width of the channel in the canal will be maintained at 70'
wide, Maintenance excavation to a max final depth of -10' will result in 16,324 cubic yards of
spoil. Upstream of these locations shoaled areas of the canal will be excavated to maintain a
minimum -8 never to exceed the adjacent connecting water depth. This will allow flexibility in
removing lumps in the canal bottom that are shallower than the tug draft at -7.0'. A minimum
depth of-8.0' will be maintained in the 150' basin at the project terminus. As equipment and
personnel are available from the local large farm operations the remaining excavation work will
be completed to -10' below the NWL, in all authorized areas of the canal and basin as shown on
the attached project maps to a final project depth of -10 below the NWL
'fhe entrance channel is expected to shoal in overtime but the frequency of maintenance excavation
events is unknown and likely dependent on the number of large storm events that affect the proJect
area. It is likely that within 5 years maintenance excavation ol'the entrance channel will be
required. Further tip the canal and into the basin it is anticipated that the project depths will
maintain themselves for an extended period of time once the maintenance excavation is completed
