I do not appear to have all of these, but everyone that I have an e-mail for except NCDMF is under one acre of land
disturbance so neither erosion & sediment control or stormwater permit requirements would be triggered. The NCDMF
project takes place in the Atlantic Ocean is not with NC jurisdiction insofar as land is concerned.

To: Curt Weychurt
From: Michael Christenbury, Wilmington District Planner
Subject: Consistency Determination — NC DMF AR-430— Oak Island, Brunswick
County
Date: April 9, 2021
Consistency Determination:
This,.project is consistent with the 2017 Town of Oak Island Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
The applicant proposes to add 10,000 tons of recycled concrete structure in three new
deployment areas at existing artificial reef site AR-430. The project is located within the
Atlantic Ocean, approximately 2.68 nautical miles south of Oak Island.
I have reviewed this proposal for consistency with the Town of Oak Island CAMA Land
Use Plan and offer the following comments.
The general area of the project is NOT classified in the LUP. Waters at the project site
are classified as SB and are not open to the harvesting of shellfish. The area is not a
Primary Nursery Area. Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC's) are PTA.
The Oak Island Land Use Plan contains some policies, which exceed the State's
minimum use standards. However, none of these policies appear to be applicable to this
project.
This project is consistent with the Town of Oak Island Land Use Plan Update.

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project site is located in deep water approximately 2.68 nautical miles south of Oak Island, Brunswick County, within the
Atlantic Ocean. The center of the site is currently located at 33° 52.190"N and 78010.000'W. The entire site encompasses
approximately 162 acres in area, or a circle with a diameter of 3,000 feet. It is located approximately 270' to the west of an
area named Middleton Rock. Substrate at the site was found by the applicant to consist of 2' to 5.5' of sandy bottom over
limestone rock.
The waters of the Atlantic Ocean are classified as SB by the NC Division of Water Quality and they are not designated as
Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the NC Division of Marine Fisheries.
PROPOSED PROJECT:
The North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries is proposing to add 10,000 tons of recycled concrete structure at three new
deployment areas at existing artificial reef site AR-430. State Permit No. 25-12 was,originally issued to the Division of Marine
Fisheries on April 2, 2012 for construction of an artificial reef (AR-430) consisting of two high -density fields and two low -
density fields of reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) within a circular project area measuring 3,000 feet in diameter. The permit
was modified on August 23, 2016 for the construction of additional patch reefs and the sinking of a hulled barge at AR 430
and was renewed once on July 25, 2016. State Permit No. 25-12 expired on December31, 2017.
According to the applicant, a proposed shift of the reef centerpoint to the northeast would be required to change the
designated reef boundary. The center of the site would now be located at 33° 52.256"N and 78°9.968"W. The shift would not
change the acreage of the site, but would be required in order to encompass all reef materials previously deployed (see
Narrative and Figure 2). The application states that the recycled concrete material would be placed in three new deployment
areas in the southwestern quadrant of the project area. Two of the areas would measure 300 ft. long by 450 ft. wide (3.1
acres) and one area would measure 450 ft. long by 600 ft. wide (6.2 acres) (see Figure 3). Approximately 10,000 tons of
recycled concrete material (mostly pipe) would be deployed at the project site. The placement areas would all be located in
water with an approximate depth of -34' below Mean Low Water (MLW), allowing for a minimum of 20' of clearance at low
water. A 150 ft. buffer is proposed around the deployment locations. Deployment would be via barge with a proposed
stockpile location at the Wilmington Port.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
Approximately 12.4 acres of Public Trust Area would be filled as a result of this project. Temporary increases in turbidity could
be expected to result from the project. It does not appear that the project would cause a hazard to navigation.

NCDMF Artificial Reefs
The North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF) Artificial Reef Program has
been formally operating since the 1970's and manages 68 artificial reefs and oyster sanctuaries.
Twenty-five (25) of these sites are located in estuarine waters, and the remaining 43 are in ocean
waters. In 2016, the NCDMF released an artificial reef guide which outlines each of the artificial
reefs and oyster sanctuaries. This document provides material information, latitude longitude
information, and a figure of the material on the reef site. A pdf version of the hardcopy reef
guide can be found at: htto://oortal.ncdem.orlt/c/document library/get file?uuid=24160156-
4b96-49e6-9126-4fa488b49cbb&groupId=38337. The NCDMF Artificial Reef Program has also
developed an interactive reef guide, set up in an ArcGIS format is available here:
hMs://ncdenr.mans.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index html?id=3b27e8594eb6444c88b5525b
f763aa55. The interactive guide is complete with material shapefiles, latitude/longitude
information, and side -scan sonar imagery. This is available for review by the public, state, and
federal agencies.
Boundaries for each reef site were defined in a boundary packet which detailed the
coordinates of each reef, material locations, reef boundaries, and acreages of reefs and materials.
This packet was accepted by Division of Coastal Management on July 10, 2017 and USACE on
October 25, 2017. Letters acknowledging the acceptance of this reef packet are shown in
attachments 1, 2 and 3.
Project Background
AR-430 is located about 2.68 nautical miles S of Oak Island as shown in Figure 1. AR-
430 was originally permitted in 2012 by NCDCM (permit #25-12) and US Army Corps of
Engineers (SAW-2012-00071). The reef is 162.27 acres in size and currently contains about 16.8
acres of material, concrete pipe and an 85-foot barge. MLW depth is 34 feet and navigational
clearance is listed as 20 feet.
Artificial reef materials are selected on four primary considerations: Function,
compatibility, durability, and stability. Accepted materials include concrete, vessels, and natural
materials and were chosen based on the above criteria, using guidance from internal program
studies, The ASMFC/GSMFC Guidelines for Marine Artificial Reef Materials (Second Ed., _
2004), The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) National Guidance: Best Management
Practices (BMPs) for Preparing Vessels Intended to Create Artificial Reefs, and the
NOAA/NMFS National Artificial Reef Plan. Concrete structures include recycled pre -fabricated
materials, crushed concrete, and pre -designed concrete reef material. These concrete structures
must be free of protruding rebar and any open bottomed structure must have an opening in the
top equal to the bottom opening or 3-feet in diameter (whichever is lesser) to allow listed species
to escape. Vessels consist of preferably large steel hulled vessels for longevity. Examples of
natural material include calcium carbonate shells, limestone marl, granite and basalt.E,VED
materials must be cleaned and prepared in accordance with United States Corps of En

General (Regional) Permits (#GP198500194 or #GP19000291), applicable NC Division of
Coastal Management permits, Division of Water Resources permits, and conform to site -specific
navigational clearance requirements published by the United States Coast Guard and NOAA
Office of Coast Survey. This includes the removal of all pollutants and tangle hazards such as
railings, antennas, etc., from vessels.
Proposed Enhancements
In preparation for this project, some previously deployed material was discovered
outside the reef boundary. To remedy this, NCDMF proposes shifting the reef centerpoint to the
Northeast. This will not change the acreage of the reef site, only the designated reef boundary
which will encompass all reef materials. This can be seen in Figure 2.
The NCDMF Artificial Reef program plans to acquire up to 10,000 tons of recycled
concrete structures (primarily pipe) for use at the site. NCDMF plans to stockpile materials at the
Wilmington Port. This development is planned to occur in the areas designated in Figure 3,
which also shows the proposed changes to reef boundary. Deployment of the concrete materials
will performed by a marine contractor selected through the state bid process. NCDMF will be on
site for all deployments. Materials will be deployed with loaders on the barge.
NCDMF staff, and contractors will adhere to all conditions outlined in the Section 7
Biological Opinion issued on 10/18/19 by National Marine Fisheries Service.
A scoping meeting was held at which DWR was present. The date of the scoping meeting
was February laf, 2021 and this project was discussed. This meeting met the requirement for
requesting a pre -filing meeting under 40 CFR Part 121 for 401 Certifications in accordance with
the federal Clean Water Act.
The project proponent hereby certifies that all information contained herein is true, accurate, and
complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
The project proponent hereby requests that the certifying authority review and take action on this

Washington Regulatory Field Office. If at anytime your agency wishes to access these records, apply for a permit, or
modify a boundary, this letter shall be referenced, along with the appropriate reef site information. This
acknowledgement of the reef sites does not convey an active permit or authorization to conduct development within
the reef site boundaries. Any future development within these reef sites will require authorization from the US Army
Corps of Engineers. Please contact Mr. Josh Pelletier at the Washington Regulatory Field Office prior to the
