Dear Mr. Dorman,
This letter is in reference to the application submitted for Wiley Williams, for a Coastal Area
Management Act Major Permit to undertake development activities to perform dredging within a
man-made canal at 701 Dolphin Lane, in Currituck 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. 113A-122(c)
which would make January 4, 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 (252-808-2808 ext. 215) or e-mail (gregg.bodnar@ncdenr.gov).

SUBJECT: Major Permit Request by B R Williams and Son Inc. / Wiley Williams to dredge a
30 foot by 180 foot area to a connective depth of -3.5 feet below Normal Water
Level (NWL) in a manmade canal that connects to Knotts Island Bay; along the
property at 701 Dolphin Lane, in the community of Carova Beach, Currituck County.
DATE: September 2, 2020
Consistency Determination: The request is consistent with/not in conflict with the Currituck
County 2006 Core Land Use Plan (LUP) certified by the CRC on
May 18, 2007 as amended through July 2, 2019.
Overview: The vacant, undeveloped .4 acre lot has approximately 210 linear feet of shoreline
along a manmade canal that connects to Knotts Island Bay. Water depths within the project area
range from -.5 foot to -3.5 feet below Normal Water Level (NWL) and average -1.9 feet below
NWL. Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) was observed growing within the canal adjacent to
the subject property. A Coastal Wetland fringe is located along the entire shoreline of the
property. The elevation of the property is approximately 5 feet above NWL. The site is vegetated
primarily with trees and mowed grasses. Most of the property is located outside of a 100-year
Floodzone with areas along the canal within an AE (4) Floodzone; however, all properties in this
area are within the Coastal Barrier Resource System (CBRS) zone where federal expenditures
and financial assistance that encourage development, such as federal flood insurance, are
restricted.
Dredging of a 30 foot by 180 foot area of the manmade canal to a connective depth of -3.5 feet
below NWL is proposed. Spoils will be removed from the canal with the use of a long reach
excavator and wood mats to allow dredging from the shoreline to limit wetland disturbance.
.Dredge spoils will be kept on site at least 30 feet from NWL.

SUBJECT: CAMA Dredge/Fill Permit Application for Wiley Williams, Currituck County,
North Carolina
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) reviewed the permit
application with regard to impacts on fish and wildlife resources. The project site is located at 701
Dolphin Lane within the Carova Beach subdivision in Corolla, NC. Our comments are provided in
accordance with provisions of the Coastal Area Management Act (G.S. 113A-100 through 113A-128), as
amended, Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act, as amended, and the Fish and Wildlife
Coordination Act (48 Stat 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.).
The applicant proposes to dredge a 30' by 180' section of a man-made canal to a connecting depth of
-3.5' NWL. A long -reach excavator would remove approximately 250 CY of material to a high ground
area greater than 30' from NWL. The project will impact 5,400 if of shallow water bottom, 2,160 fly of
which has SAV presence. The man-made canal at this location is classified SC by the Environmental
Management Commission and is designated joint waters by the NC Division of Marine Fisheries and
NCWRC.
The NCWRC has reviewed the proposal and requests measures be taken to minimize impacts to SAV and
coastal wetland habitats. To minimize sloughing from the dredge footprint, we suggest tapered sides of
the dredge area and minimum distance of 10' from coastal wetland substrates. We also recommend
narrowing the area of the dredge footprint to avoid areas with SAV presence. An April I — September 30
moratorium would also minimize impacts to SAV and shallow water habitats by reducing elevated noise
and turbidity levels during project implementation.
We appreciate the oppardmity to review and comment on this permit application. If you need further
assistance or additional information, please contact me at (252) 948-3916 or at

TO: I Gregg Bodnar, NCDCM Assistant Major Permits Coordinator
FROM: James Harrison, NCDMF Fisheries Resource Specialist
SUBJECT: Wiley Williams, 701 Dolphin Lane, Currituck County
DATE: October 27, 2020
A North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) Fisheries Resource Specialist has
reviewed the CAMA Permit application for proposed actions that impact fish and fish
habitats. The proposed project is located at 701 Dolphin Lane, Lot #72, Corolla, Currituck
County, North Carolina. The applicant is proposing to mechanically dredge a 180' by 30'
(5,400 square feet) section of a manmade canal to a connecting depth of -3.5'. To limit the
disturbance to any wetlands onsite, the applicant proposes to use a long -reach excavator
and wood mats to dredge the canal from the shoreline. Per the results of a survey
conducted on July 1, 2020, as proposed, the project would result in the removal of 2,160
square feet of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV).
North Carolina ranks second behind Florida in SAV presence on the east coast of the U.S.
(NCDEQ 2016; Funderburk et al. 1991; Sargent et al 1995). Observations since 2000 have
indicated that SAV coverage in North Carolina is expanding into previously unobserved
areas, and declining in others. There has not been a mapped historical record of SAV in this
area, and the observance of SAV during the July survey indicates that this canal is starting
to naturalize and support SAV.
SAV is a highly valuable habitat, both environmentally and economically, and is a prime
nursery, spawning, and/or feeding habitat for a variety of recreationally, commercially, and
environmentally important species. Gag grouper, flounder, red drum, black sea bass,
weakfish, and Atlantic croaker rely on SAV as nursing grounds (Deaton et al. 2010). SAV
has been shown to support a high diversity of foraging fish, reptiles, and invertebrate
species.
Additionally, SAV provides a number of valuable ecosystem services. SAV filters water,
plays a critical role in natural erosion control and shoreline stabilization, is a primary
producer, and naturally cycles nutrients. Furthermore, SAV supports avast RECEIVED
epiphytes and other sessile invertebrates that serve as a food source for many species.

Waters containing SAV have a higher species richness and abundance that those without
SAV (Thayer et al. 1975; Ross and Stevens 1992), and can improve water quality and
clarity. SAV is also recognized as essential fish habitat (EFH) for many species as a result of
the functions listed above.
As proposed, this project would result in both direct and indirect impacts to SAV, and DMF
has concerns with these serious impacts to fish habitat. The drawings provided show that
there is SAV within the proposed dredge footprint. Therefore, DMF recommends that the
dredging footprint be altered to avoid or minimize potential impacts to SAV. Specifically,
the dredging should be limited to the section that didn't have SAV present during the
survey. Additionally, DMF recommends that the northern and southern edges of the
dredge footprint that border SAV habitat be tapered in order to avoid the potential for
sediment to slough after being dredged.
Thank you for consideration of our comments. Please contact Jimmy Harrison at (252)
948-3835 or at james.harrisonPncdenr.gov with any further questions or concerns.

The project location is a vacant lot, ± 17,424 sf in size, and has approximately 210' of
unhardened shoreline. The elevation of the property is approximately +5 feet above NWL.
According to the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Services' Web Soil Survey, the
soil on the property is made up of Newhan fine sand. Bulrush (Scirpus spp.) was observed
growing along the entire shoreline. Other vegetation on the property consisted of trees and
grasses that are mowed periodically.
The adjacent riparian property to the northwest is a similarly vegetated lot with an
unhardened shoreline and a small storage building on the lot. The adjacent riparian
property to the south is also a similarly vegetated vacant lot with unhardened shoreline.
The man-made canal, which connects to Knotts Island Bay, is classified as Joint waters by
the agreement with the Marine Fisheries Commission and Wildlife Resources Commission.
The Division of Environmental Management's water quality classification for this waterbody
is SC and it is closed to shellfish taking. Water depths within the project site range from 0.5'
to 3.5' below normal water level (NWL) and averages -1.9'. The bottom substrate within the
project area is made up of muddy sand. Submerged aquatic vegetation as defined by the
Division of Marine Fisheries, was observed growing within the project area. An SAV survey
was conducted on 7-1-2020. This survey is attached to the application.
Development Proposal
The applicant proposes to mechanically dredge a ±180' x 30' section of a man-made canal
to a connecting depth of -3.5'. To limit the disturbance of any wetlands on site, the applicant
proposes to use a long reach excavator and wood mats to dredge the canal from the
shoreline. The spoils will be excavated from the canal and transferred over the coastal
wetlands to a 4,600 sf area, as displayed on the applicants the site plan, located >30' from
NWL and outside any areas of wetlands.
Anticipated Impacts
• The dredging of the canal will result in the removal of 250 yd' of material within
the PTA and EW AEC.
• The dredging of the canal will result in 5,400 ft2 of shallow water bottom
disturbance within the PTA and EW AEC.
• The spoil disposal area will disturb 4,600 ft2 of high ground within the ES AEC.
• The dredge of the canal will result in the removal ± 2,160 ft2 SAV within the PTA
and EW AEC.

PROJECT NARRATIVE
Williams Dredge Project
July 21, 2020
Location of Project:
The subject property is lot 72, located at 701 Dolphin Lane in Carova Beach,
Currituck, Currituck County, North Carolina. The property is an undeveloped lot
located on a manmade canal that connects to the Currituck Sound.
Project Description:
The CAMA application is a request to dredge a 5,400 square foot (250 cubic
yards) shoaled area in a manmade canal adjacent to lot 72 on Dolphin Lane.
The final project depth will be 3.5 feet and will match the existing adjacent water
depths in the canal. The existing shoaling has created a navigational hazard for
boat owners that use the manmade canal system in the Carova Beach
subdivision. There are approximately 60 canal front lots located upstream of the
dredge area that are impacted by the shoaling in the canal.
The canal will be dredged using a long reach excavator from the shoreline of lot
72. The excavator will work on wood mats landward of the Normal Water Level
(NWL) and existing coastal wetlands. The spoil material will be placed on the
upland area of lot 72 as indicated in the attached site plan. Silt fence will be
installed around the perimeter of spoil disposal area to prevent runoff into the
adjacent properties or canal.
Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) Analysis:
A Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) evaluation was done on July 1, 2020 to
determine if any SAV will be impacted by the proposed dredging.
The following are sampling procedures and results:
• 12 one meter sample points were taken (see Attachment 1.).
• SAV sampling work took place on July 1, 2020 at 10 am.
e Water depths range from -0.5" to -3.5' (see site plan for more details).
• See Table 1 for sample point data.
The most recently deposited material in the shoaled area did not have SAV
growth and is represented as sample points 4 through 9 (Table 1). The SAV
growth outside of the recently deposited material range from sparse to moderate
for sample points 1-3 & 10-12 (Table 1).
