b.
Give a brief description of purpose, use, and daily operations of the project when complete.
The purpose of this program is to provide a suitable substrate, which will be protected from disturbances by commercial and
recreational oysterman, for oyster spat attachment. These sanctuaries are used in a continuing effort of North Carolina to
rehabilitate the oyster population. These measures will increase oyster biomass, provide broodstoc ks (increased larvae
production), encourage resistance to diseases, provide finfish habitat, and other ecologically important functions of oyster
reefs (e.g., water filtration, increase water clarity, and denitrification).
c.
Describe the proposed construction methodology, types of construction equipment to be used during construction, the number of each type
of equipment and where it is to be stored.
The material proposed for constructing this oyster sanctuary is any combination of previously permitted materials including:
processed recycled concrete (approximately 4" to 8", with no steel, no asphalt and no hazardous material), recycled concrete
pipe, and concrete reef structures (reef balls, reef cones) or recycled concrete precast products, granite rock, basalt rock,
and limestone rock.. This material will be off loaded from barges/landing craft with the use of front end loaders,
cranes,conveyors, and excavators depending on type and size of material. These vessels can carry several hundred to
thousand of tons of material per trip. In year one, limestone class B rip rap will be deployed within the 75 acres of permitted
construction area to create no less than 15 developed acres of restored oyster habitat. In subsequent years, any of the
previously approved materials (Attachment 1) may be used to complete the site, for a total of up to 60 acres of developed
bottom and 75 total acres of permitted sanctuary area. NCDMF coordinates all reef deployments, using either marine
contractors or State -maintained vessels and staff. In either instance, NCDMF staff remain on site during all deployments to
ensure enhancements remain (1) within permitted boundaries and (2) compliant with navigational clearance requirements.
d.
List all development activities you propose.
Development activites include the placement of hard substrate for oyster colonization, and to create fish habitat. This activity
would rehabiltate 60 acres of unconsolidated bottom habitat. Also, 4 pencil marker buoys will be placed at each corner
boundary, depicting the orange hazard diamond, "Oyster Sanctuary", and "Rocks," in accordance with USCG ATON rules
and regulations.

This letter is in reference to the application submitted for a Coastal Area Management Act Major
Permit to undertake development activities to create an Oyster Sanctuary near Cedar Island and
West Bay, in Carteret County.
Although processing of the application is nearing completion, additional time is needed for this
office to complete the review and make a decision on your request. Therefore, it is necessary that
the standard review time be extended. An additional 75 days is provided by G.S. I I3A-122(c)
which would make March 12, 2021 the new deadline for reaching a decision on your request.
However, we expect to take action prior to that time and will do so as soon as possible. In the
interim, should you have any question on the status of your application, do not hesitate to contact
me by phone [phone] ext. 215) or e-mail ([e-mail]).

All,
Pursuant to the CAMA-Corps Programmatic Permit process, the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NC
DCM) has forwarded to our office a copy of a CAMA permit request, Field Investigation Report and Bio Report for the
subject project. The attached notice requests federal agency comments on this project by December 4, 2020.
The North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (NC DMF) proposes to construct a 75-acre oyster sanctuary located 1.5
nautical miles north of Cedar Island's westernmost point, at the mouth of West Bay, in Pamlico Sound, Carteret County,
North Carolina.
The proposed project would expand the Senator Jean Preston Oyster Sanctuary Network within waters of the Pamlico
Sound. Within the 75-acre boundary, NC DMF intends to establish a 100-foot buffer of no development, leaving 60 acres
available for reef construction. The purpose of the buffer is to protect against deployment error and possible material
movement over time. To complete 60 acres of reef habitat, the NCDMF may elect to use a variety of previously
permitted and approved materials including but not limited to: precast concrete, reinforced concrete pipe, crushed
concrete and concrete rubble, reef balls, granite rock, basalt rock, and additional limestone rock. NC DMF has stated
that the 4 corners of the reef would be marked with appropriate Artificial Reef signage as determined by the USCG
private aids to navigation suggestions.
The NC DMF proposes to develop the site in stages, with approximately 8 acres to be developed in 2021 by deploying
3,400 tons of Limestone Class B rip rap, and 15,000 tons of crushed concrete. Material would be deployed in an array of
ridges ranging in height from no less than 2 feet, to no higher than 6 feet. All proposed deployments of material would
conducted by a capable marine contractor chosen by the North Carolina Coastal Federation and NC DMF. Detailed
schematics and design plans would be included in the contractor's scope of work and strictly adhered to. To guide
contractors during deployments, NC DMF staff will mark each ridge with high-flyer buoys, placed incrementally along a
straight line (Figure 5 in the attached application). As deployments occur, NC DMF staff would periodically halt
deployments in order to check the vertical profile of deployed materials throughout the project. GIS, GPS, sounding
poles, and high frequency sonar will be used to monitor reef development for permit compliance. Proposed deployment
lines would each be around 200 feet in length and deployed in parallel ridges to ensure deployment accuracy and reduce

Major Permit Request by NC DMF to create Cedar Island Oyster Sanctuary
November 3, 2020
Consistency Determination: The request is consistent with/not in conflict with the Carteret County
Land Use Plan certified by the CRC on December 20, 2010.
Overview: The NC Division of Marine Fisheries is proposing to construct an artificial reef. The
project site is located in the mouth of West Bay 1.5 nautical miles north of Cedar Islands most
western point. The location of each corner of the proposed reef is listed below.
NW
350 3.471' N
76° 22.922' W
NE
350 3.463' N
760 22.560' W
SE
35° 3.165' N
76" 22.560' W
SW
35° 3.173' N
760 22.932' W
Areas of Environmental Concern include: Estuarine Waters (EW) and Public Trust Areas (PTA). The
project is located in West Bay and is classified as SW, is not a Primary Nursery Area (PNA), and is
open to shellfishing. There does not appear to be any Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV). A
review of shellfish resources, archaeological and cultural resources was not provided.
DMF is proposing to construct a 75' acre oyster reef in the mouth of West Bay. A variety of -
previously approved materials would be placed on 60 acres of the 75-acre site. Within the 75-
acre boundary, NCDMF intends to establish a 100-foot buffer of no development, leaving 60
acres available for reef construction. The purpose of this buffer is to protect against deployment
error and possible material movement over time.
North Carolina Department ofEnvlronmental Quality I DhAsion of Coastal Management
Morehead City Office 1400 Commerce Avenue I Morehead City, North Carolina 28557
252.8082808

The proposed Cedar Island site has been selected due to its favorable depth -strata, water quality
characteristics, and ability to provide additional connectivity to other successful, nearby
sanctuaries, while also remaining outside of any major vessel thoroughfare. Water depths in this
area average 15' NLW. NCDMF has stated that the 4 corners of the reef would be marked with
appropriate Artificial Reef signage as determined by the USCG private aids to navigation
suggestions. NCDMF has completed the scoping requirement as required by NCDWR.
Anticipated Impacts: 75 acres of PTA would be usurped by this project with approximately 60 acres
of bottom benthic habitat filled. Temporary turbidity would occur during deployment of the reef
material.
Basis for Determination:
The project site is located in Carteret County and is subject to the 2005 Carteret County Land Use
Plan Update. The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designates the site as Conservation due to the
sites location in Estuarine Waters and Public Trust AECs (Areas of Environmental Concern). Land
uses allowed in Areas of Environmental Concern are those consistent with the State's minimum
use standards and state and federal regulations.
The following LUP policies may be applicable to this request:
2.0 Land Use Compatibility
2.4.1, pg. 71: "Carteret County will only allow development in estuarine and public trust waters that are
associated with water -dependent uses, consistent with state and federal standards, and meet all local
polices contained in this plan."

'VivP MOTION tUPi-!D
Reference the application of the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (NC DMF) to construct
a 75-acre oyster sanctuary located 1.5 nautical miles north of Cedar Island's westernmost point, at the
mouth of West Bay, in Pamlico Sound, Carteret County, North Carolina.
Specifically, the applicant proposes to expand the Senator Jean Preston Oyster Sanctuary Network
within waters of the Pamlico Sound. Within the 75-acre boundary, NC DMF intends to establish a 100-
foot buffer of no development, leaving 60 acres available for reef construction. The purpose of the
buffer is to protect against deployment error and possible material movement over time. To complete 60
acres of reef habitat, the NCDMF may elect to use a variety of previously permitted and approved
materials including but not limited to: precast concrete, reinforced concrete pipe, crushed concrete and
concrete rubble, reef balls, granite rock, basalt rock, and additional limestone rock. NC DMF has stated
that the 4 comers of the reef would he marked with appropriate Artificial Reef signage as determined by
the USCG private aids to navigation suggestions.
The NC DMF proposes to develop the site in stages, with approximately 8 acres to be developed in 2021
by deploying 3,400 tons of Limestone Class B rip rap, and 15,000 tons of crushed concrete. Material
would be deployed in an array of ridges ranging in height from no less than 2 feet, to no higher than 6
feet. All proposed deployments of material would be conducted by a capable marine contractor chosen
by the North Carolina Coastal Federation and NC DMF. Detailed schematics and design plans would be
included in the contractor's scope of work and strictly adhered to. To guide contractors during
deployments, NC DMF staff will mark each ridge with high-flyer buoys, placed incrementally along a
straight line (Figure 5 in the attached application). As deployments occur, NC DMF staff would

r 1
-2-
periodically halt deployments in order to check the vertical profile of deployed materials throughout the
project. GIS, GPS, sounding poles, and high frequency sonar will be used to monitor reef development
for permit compliance. Proposed deployment lines would each be around 200 feet in length and
deployed in parallel ridges to ensure deployment accuracy and reduce vertical clearance concerns.
Marking buoys would be placed at each end of deployment lines to aid contractors with accuracy. NC
DMF vessels will be present and aid the contractor vessel to ensure positioning and deployment occurs
at the proper coordinates.
In subsequent years, the NC DMF proposes to deploy material in 8-acre increments, dependent upon
funding and material cost adjustments.
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
modification to the State authorization:
1. In order to further protect the endangered West Indian Manatee, Trichechus manatus, the
applicant must implement the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Manatee Guidelines, and strictly
adhere to all requirements therein. The guidelines can be found at
https://www.fws.2ov/raleiiah/12dfs/ManateeGuidelines2Ol7.pdf
2. The applicant will implement the conditions of the NC DMF Artificial Reef Programmatic
Biological Opinion dated October 18, 2019. The full Biological Opinion can be located on the
Wilmington District website at https://www.saw.usace.army.mil/Missions/Re ulatoEy-Permit-

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: http://t)ortal.ncdenr.org/c/document library/get file?uuid=24160156-
4b96-49e6-9126-4fa488b49cbb&eroupld=38337. The NCDMF Artificial Reef Program has also
developed an interactive reef guide, set up in an ArcGIS format is available here:
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.
Location Siting
General Protocol
The NCDMF Oyster Sanctuary Program is charged with creating oyster reefs in Pamlico
Sound as part of the Senator Jean Preston Oyster Sanctuary Network. These reefs are protected
from shellfish harvest and are strategically sited in consideration of physical and biological
requirements for oyster propagation, interactions with existing oyster sanctuaries, as well as
logistical, economic, and social factors.
With attention to connectivity and bio-physical requirements, NCDMF works with North
Carolina State University to implement a habitat suitability index (HSI) model for oyster
restoration. This model uses a variety of inputs, including habitat connectivity potential based on
published larval transport data for the Pamlico Sound. Essentially, this model is a tool to estimate
the connective value of prospective sanctuary sites in terms of larval subsidies to other
sanctuaries, cultch planted reefs, and natural reefs.
In further consideration of bio-physical requirements, the site selection protocol
incorporates best management practices for selecting sites based on bottom sediment type and
existing natural resources, such as shell or seagrass. During site investigations, staff use side scan
sonar, backscatter analysis, and benthic grab (ponar) to evaluate local conditions. Data from
these site investigations are used to determine proposed reef boundaries.
The proposed sanctuary will be permitted through the Division of Coastal Management and the
US Army Corps of Engineers. This permitting process allows other agency comments as well as
a public comment period that will identify potential user conflicts with the location of the
sanctuary.

Cedar Island Site
After thorough investigation, the NCDMF has identified a 75-acre site near Cedar Island
as the preferred location for upcoming reef development under the NCDMF-Coastal Federation
partnership. Cedar Island is located in the mouth of West Bay, 1.5 nautical miles to the north of
Cedar Island's most western point (Figure 1). The average depth of the site is —15 feet with a
range from 1 I to 17 feet (Figure 2). The bottom type within the proposed boundaries of the site
is relatively uniform throughout depth ranges and consists primarily of muddy sand (Figure 3,
Figure 4). Since oyster reefs can be susceptible to die offs caused by hypoxic events (a} mg/L
02; North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources, Division of
Water Quality, standard) and predatory pests (boring sponge, oyster drills, etc.), the Division also
includes these in consideration for selecting a suitable site. Nearby, recent water quality
monitoring for the area measured dissolved oxygen levels ranging from 5 to 12 mg/L 02, and
salinities from 7 to 24 ppt, indicating this site is suitable for supporting oyster populations (UNC
IMS, Paerl Lab, Station 8: 2018-2020). Additionally, the proposed new oyster sanctuary is in
relatively close proximity to Raccoon Island, Swan Island, and West Bay. Each of these
sanctuaries are considered to be successful (>�0 oysters/m2) based on 2019 and 2020 NCDMF
oyster sanctuary monitoring assessments.
After analysis of the bathymetric survey, it was concluded that there is no existing shell
resource. Additionally, the 75-acre site is expected to have a minimal impact on commercial
trawling, though concerns will be addressed in the public comment period of the permitting
process. However, by strategically building a sanctuary on the edge of a shallow shoreline
which poses a navigational clearance hazard, deep drafting fishing vessels are less apt to visit the
area (Figure 1).
Within the 75-acre boundary, NCDMF intends to establish a 100-foot buffer of no
development, leaving 60 acres available for reef construction. The purpose of this buffer is to
protect against deployment error and possible material movement over time.
In summary, the proposed Cedar Island site has been selected due to its favorable depth strata,
water quality characteristics, and ability to provide additional connectivity to other successful,
nearby sanctuaries, while also remaining outside of any major vessel thoroughfare.
Materials
General Specifications
NCDMF intends to use only biologically suitable materials which have previously been
approved by permitting agencies. Further, the NCDMF applies experiential knowledge and best
management practices to avoid propagating reef species which are invasive or detrimental to
local estuarine ecosystems. Reef construction materials used by NCDMF are described in detail
within the Guidelines and Specifications for Acceptable Artificial Reef Materials, 2016 2nd
Edition (Attachment 1).
Cedar Island Materials
To complete 60 acres of reef habitat, the NCDMF may elect to use a variety of previously
permitted and approved materials including but not limited to: precast concrete, reinforced
concrete pipe, crushed concrete and concrete rubble, reef balls, granite rock, basalt rock, and
additional limestone rock. NCDMF is seeking permit approval for up to 60 acres of developed
bottom, using any of the aforementioned, previously approved reef construction materials in
various quantities to complete the reef.

In selecting a suitable material type for this sanctuary, the Division has taken into account
the material performance at nearby sanctuaries and the influence annual water quality may have
on the proliferation of potential sanctuary pests (boring sponge, oyster drills, etc.). In terms of
settlement and survival, granite, marl, and crushed concrete have each produced oyster densities
> 20 oyster/m2 in areas with similar water quality characteristics over the last few years. By
applying similar sanctuary performance and characteristics information, currently available
stockpiled material (3400 tons limestone marl, class B rip rap), and actual material deployment
costs, a rough annual material deployment plan has been laid out below.
2021 —8 Limestone class B rip rap I Crushed 3,400 115,000
Concrete
2022 —8 Crushed Concrete/Other 20,000
2023 —8 Crushed Concrete/Other 20,000
General Practices
NCDMF coordinates all reef deployments, using either marine contractors or State -
maintained vessels and staff. In either instance, NCDMF staff remain on site during all
deployments to ensure enhancements remain (1) within permitted boundaries and (2) compliant
with navigational clearance requirements.
Cedar Island Deployments
Since the Division currently has —3400 tons of limestone class B rip rap currently
stockpiled at the staging site, it will be deployed in conjunction with a similar sized crushed
concrete during year one to develop approximately 8 acres of restored oyster habitat. In
subsequent years, any of the previously approved materials (Attachment 1) may be used to
complete the site, for a total of up to 60 acres of developed bottom and 75 total acres of
permitted sanctuary area. This 8-acre annual goal will of course be dependent on appropriated
budget and material costs adjustments.
NCDMF will work with the Coastal Federation and contractors to employ the most
effective and controlled deployment strategies. in general, this reef will be designed as an array
of ridges. Each ridge will have a profile of no less than two feet and no more than six feet. This
approach will allow more flexibility for both NCDMF and the contractor to construct greater
acreage without requiring high precision to maintain permit compliance.
All deployments of material will be conducted by a capable marine contractor chosen by
the Coastal Federation and NCDMF. Detailed schematics and design plans will be included in
the contractor's scope of work and strictly adhered to. To guide contractors during deployments,
NCDMF staff will mark each ridge with high-flyer buoys, placed incrementally along a straight
line (Figure 5). As deployments occur, NCDMF staff will periodically halt deployments in order
to check the vertical profile of deployed materials throughout the project. GIS, GPS, sounding
poles, and high frequency sonar will be used to monitor reef development for permit compliance.
Deployment lines will each be around 200 feet in length and deployed in parallel ridges to ensure
deployment accuracy and reduce vertical clearance concerns. Marking buoys will be placed at
each end of deployment lines to aid contractors with accuracy. NCDMF vessels will be present at
all times and aid the contractor vessel to ensure positioning and deployment occurs at the proper
coordinates.

Guidelines and Specifications for Acceptable Artificial Reef Materials
(2016, 2«a Edition]
Artificial reef materials are selected on four primary considerations: Function,
compatibility, durability, and stability. Materials used must meet their intended function,
by supporting diverse and abundant biological communities. Selected materials must also
be compatible with the aquatic environment in which they are placed. This means they
must not pose environmental risks. Also, unstable materials, or those prone to movement,
and nondurable, or easily degraded, materials must be precluded from use.
The North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries Artificial Reef Program has
produced a comprehensive list of accepted materials for use in partner projects. These
materials 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.
Accepted Materials:
Concrete:
Any hard, strong building material made by mixing a cementing material (commonly
Portland cement) and a mineral aggregate with sufficient water to cause material to set and
bind. Types include (but are not limited to) oval and round pipe, box culverts, risers, catch -
basins, knock -out boxes, bridge rubble and bridge spans, manholes, slabs, pilings, crushed
concrete, and pre -designed structures such as Reef Balls or other units. All concrete must
be fully cured to ensure environmental compatibility.
Required Specifications:
Ocean-
• Unacceptable types in the ocean: slabs, small pilings, crushed concrete, small
designed structures
• Size - concrete pipe must be no less than 4 feet in length and no less than 36
inches in inside diameter, unless such smaller pieces are "nested" Inside
large diameter pieces
• Composition - units must be no more than 25% degraded or missing. All
concrete must be fully cured before deployment
• Design - pre -designed structures must meet approval of Artificial Reef Staff
for function, compatibility, durability, and stability
Estuary -
• Size - concrete pipe must be no smaller than 12 inches in Inside diameter
and not exceed 30 inches in Inside diameter. Any concrete structure must

not exceed 8 feet In length, width, or height. Crushed concrete must be: B"
maximum diameter, 6"average diameter, 4" minimum diameter, 10%
maximum oversize, 5% maximum undersize
Composition - units must be no more than 25% degraded or missing. All
concrete must he fully cured before deployment
Design - pre -designed structures must meet approval of Artificial Reef Staff
for function, compatibility, durability, and stability
Vessels.
Vessels are a commonly used artificial reef material. These may be composed of
ferro-cement or steel, though steel vessels are most common and preferred. Thorough
preparation and cleaning is required before these materials may be used as reefs (EPA
BMPs).
Required Specifications:
Ocean -
• Size - vessels must he no smaller than 100 feet in length unless paired with a
second 100 foot or greater vessel
• Clearance - vessels are subject to clearance requirements and in many cases,
must be shortened in height to comply with permits. This may Involve
expensive removal of vessel superstructure
• Cleaning and preparation- vessels are subject to US Coast Guard and/or
EPA inspection to satisfy BMPs, Including removals of wood, floatables, loose
materials, and deleterious substances.
• Stability- all air must be allowed to escape during sinking
• Durability -vessel selection is ultimately at the discretion of the Artificial
Reef Coordinator, to satisfy expectations of durability
Estuary -
. Vessels are not accepted in estuarine waters
Natural Materials.
Natural materials have been used by most coastal states to replenish various types
of habitat with a particular focus on shell bottom. Natural materials include different
approved mineral rocks such as limestone marl, granite, and basalt.
Required Specifications:
Ocean -
• Natural materials are not widely used in the ocean, given their susceptibility
to sediment burial
Estuary -
• Size -
o Limestone Marl (NCDOT Class B Spec): 12"maximum diameter, 9'
average diameter, 5" minimum diameter, 10% maximum oversize,
5% maximum undersize
o Granite and Basalt: 8"nwdmum diameter, 6" average diameter, 4"
minimum diameter, 10% maximum oversize, 5% maximum
undersize
• Location- Limestone Is not acceptable for mein high salinity environments,
given high susceptibility to blo-eroding organisms
