Envlrontnmial Quality
TO: Gregg Bodnar, Major Permits Processing Coordinator
Division of Coastal Management
FROM: Rachel Love-Adrick, District Planner
Division of Coastal Management
SUBJECT: Major Permit Request by the Carteret County, Taylors Creek Dredging
DATE: December 18, 2019
Consistency Determination: The request is consistent with/not in conflict with the Town of Beaufort Core
Land Use Plan certified by the CRC on January 26, 2007 and the Carteret County Land Use Plan certified
by the CRC on December 20, 2010.
Overview
The applicant is proposing to excavate and re -align the existing entrance channel along the east end of
Taylors Creek. Taylors Creek in located in Beaufort, NC and is a total of 3 miles in length and has a 75' wide
USACOE channel with a 51' channel setback along the project area. Historically the USA COE has
maintained the channel entrance to a depth of -7' MLLW and approximately 75' wide, the current
alignment has not been dredged since 2017. Presently there are existing single- family residences with
bulkheads and piers to the north and an undeveloped parcel to the south known as Carrot Island.
Carteret County would like to maintain a channel width of 75' but increase the depth to -12' MLLW to
match the interior of Taylors Creek. The connecting water depths are -12' MLLW to -14' MLLW. They would
also like to realign the channel entrance from its current northwest direction to a more southwest
direction. This area has not been dredged since 2013 and has naturalized over time with shoaling. Per the
applicant this new alignment would match the channels historic location identified from 2003- 20011 and
should provide an improved flushing potential from Beaufort Inlet. The excavation would be
approximately 1200 feet east of Carrot Island and per the applicant should not cause additional erosion
problems. Perthe applicant's sediment sampling, the type of substrate within the dredge area is 97% sand
and 3%fines.
The excavation area would be 75' wide by 2,800' long and would remove a total of 36,000 cubic yards of
material. The average existing water depth is-8.8'mllw and the final excavation depth would be -12 mllw.
The spoils would be transported via barge and offloaded at 2452 Lennoxville Road then transported by
�E

252.8082808

,r _
dump truck to be off loaded at 2525 LennoxviIle Road. The spoils would be stored on an existing concrete
pad and stabilized with erosion control measures.
AECs involved include Public Trust Area and Estuarine Water. The project is within Taylors Creek, within
this area the creek carries a water classification of SC;HQW, and there is a Federal Setback Channel. The
creek is not designated as Primary Nursery Area, and is closed to the taking of shellfish. Riparian corridors
were not determined. The neighbors within the excavation vicinity were notified and no objections were
received. No Coastal Wetlands and SAV or shellfish beds were observed within the proposal project area.
Anticipated impacts
The excavation would remove a total of 210,000 sf of shallow bottom habitat and would cause temporary
turbidity during removal. The spoils would be contained at an upland area, on an existing concrete slab
and retained via erosion control measures. Future maintenance excavation would be anticipated and the
proposed channel routes could increase yearly shoreline erosion by increase in boat traffic.
Basis for Determination:
The project site is located in Carteret County and Town of Beaufort. The project is subject to the 2006
Town of Beaufort Core Land Use Plan and the 2005 Carteret County Land Use Plan Update. The Beaufort
LUPs Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designates the site as Conservation/Open Space (AECs). This
"classification is intended to delineate areas where traditional land uses are not desirable or expected to
develop. Land development may, however, include public buildings and facilities necessary to support
existing uses with the areas..." (p. 95). The Carteret County LUPs Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designates
the site as Conservation (AECs). According to the LUP "Uses allowed by Carteret County in AECs are those
that are consistent with the State's minimum use standards, except when the policies contained in this
plan are more restrictive that State Standards" (p. 94).
The following LUP policies are applicable to this request:
Town of Beaufort LUP Policies
4.2.6 Areas of Environmental Concern
Policy 1: The Town of Beaufort supports state and federal law regarding land use and development in
AECs (pg. 84).
Policy 3: Beaufort supports the use standards for estuarine and public trust areas as specified in 15A
NCAC.0207 (pg.84).
4.2.7 Areas of Local Concern
Policy 6. Beaufort will continue to support and protect the town's Historic District and the Taylor's Creek
waterfront area (pg. 85).
Carteret County LUP
Policy 2.4
Carteret County's policies for development in estuarine and public trust waters are as follow:
1. "Carteret County will only allow development activities in estuarine and public trust
waters that are associated with water -dependent uses, consistent with state and
federal standards, and meet all local policies contained in this plan."

Curt Weychert, NCDMF Fisheries Resource Specialist
SUBJECT:
Carteret County - Taylor's Creek Navigation Maintenance Dredging
DATE:
January 7, 2020
A North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) Fisheries Resource Specialist has reviewed the
CAMA Major Permit application for proposed actions that impact fish and fish habitats. Carteret
County is seeking to dredge portions of Taylor's Creek in Beaufort. The applicant states that the
project will perform maintenance dredging for navigation in an area of 210,000 square feet to a
depth of -T mean lower low water (MLLW) and remove 36,000 cubic yards of mostly sandy
material from the channel and entrance at the east end of the creek. The applicant is proposing to
change the alignment of the dredge template on the eastern side of the creek to follow a more
naturalized channel that has formed between previous dredging events. The waters within the
project area are classified as SC within the creek and as SA high quality waters (HQW) in certain
areas and at the entrances to both sides of the creek. The areas are not open to the harvest of
shellfish and a submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) survey reported no SAV species were present
within the project area.
The project narrative states that in order to avoid migrating juvenile fish and manatee that the
construction will not occur between the times of November 16th and March 31st. NCDMF finds these
efforts to avoid and minimize project impacts as sufficient and would recommend these periods be
conditioned on the permit. If the project at any point needs to occur during the mentioned
moratorium periods the NCDMF recommends that the applicant follows traditional moratorium
relief procedures through DCM in correspondence with NCDMF and other appropriate regulatory
and resource agencies.
Contact Curt Weychert at [phone] or 1rt.W ychert(dincdenr ¢ov with further questions or

FROM: Maria T. Dunn, Coastal Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Division
DATE: February 11, 2020
SUBJECT: CAMA Dredge/Fill Permit Application for Carteret County, Taylors Creek, Carteret
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 within the
mouth of Taylors Creek. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Coastal Area
Management Act (G.S. I I3A-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.).
Carteret County proposes to maintain a navigation channel within Taylors Creek by realigning the
existing channel entrance. The current channel alignment has not be maintenance excavated by USACE
since 2007 when the 75' wide channel was dredged to -7' NLW. The current proposal realigns the
channel to a more southwest direction, that is more in line with historical channel locations from 2003-
2011. The 75' by 2,800' channel would have a final water depth of -12' NLW, an increase of 5' in depth -
No SAV, coastal wetlands, or shellfish were observed in the project area. Dredged material would be
removed via barged and trucked to 2525 Lennoxville Roade. Taylors Creek at this location is classified
SA HQW.
The NCWRC participated in the NCDEQ seeping meeting and has reviewed the permit application. Our
comments and suggestions within the meeting have been reflected in the permit application. We support
any permit conditions within the old permit that minimized impacts to environmental resources as well as
any moratoria requested by NCDMF. If any portion of the project is modified now or at a later date, we
request our agency continue to be included in proposal notification and circulation.
We appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on this permit application. If you need further
assistance or additional information, please contact me at [phone] or at

Dear Mr. Howell:
Reference the application of Carteret County to perform excavation of the federal project
East Taylors Creek, and realign the east entrance channel in Beaufort, Carteret County, North
Carolina. Coordinates in Decimal Degrees are: 34.706559 N,-76.616917 W.
Specifically, the project consists of deepening and realigning the east end of the entrance
Channel of Taylors Creek in order to stabilize the channel and navigation access. Historically,
the US Army Corps of Engineers has maintained the channel to -7 feet MLLW and 75 feet
wide in accordance with the 1935 federal authorization, which allows maintenance operations
to follow the most economical dredge alignment as identified by the district engineer. The
county proposes to deepen the channel in this location from -7 feet MLLW to -12 feet MLLW to
match the depth of the interior of Taylor's Creek.
The realignment portion of the project would consist of realigning the entrance channel
from its current northwest direction to a more southwest direction. According to the application,
the proposed realignment would match the channel's historic location identified from 2003 to
approximately 2011 and would provide an improved flushing potential from Beaufort Inlet.

RE'MWED
MAR 2 7 2020
NIP SECTION iAHD 2
The excavation area proposed is 75 feet wide for a length of 2,800 feet, and would
remove a total of 36,000 cubic yards of material by clamshell dredge or excavator. 210,000
square feet of shallow bottom habitat would be removed from the project area. The spoils
would then be transported via barge and offloaded at 2452 Lennoxville Road then transported
by dump truck to be offloaded at 2525 Lennoxville Road. Spoil material would be stored on an
existing concrete pad and stabilized with erosion control measures. (see attached plans for
disposal locations).
Additionally, the applicant proposes to limit construction activities to daylight hours
between November 16 to March 31.
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:

The applicant proposes to excavate and re -align the existing entrance channel along the
east end of Taylors Creek.
9. Narrative Description
The Carteret County channel excavation and relocation project is located along the east
end of Taylors Creek in Beaufort, NC. Taylors creek is a total of 3 miles in length and has
a 75' wide USACOE channel with a 51' channel setback along the project area (within
Taylors Creek along the east end). The east entrance channel portion leading into Taylors
Creek is the current alignment and was last dredged in 2017. Presently there are

Field Investigation Report:
Carteret County channel excavation, Taylors Creek
Page 02
existing single- family residences with bulkheads and piers to the north and an
undeveloped parcel to the south known as Carrot Island.
The Town of Beaufort Land Use Plan classifies this area as Conservation. This section of
Taylors Creek is not designated as Primary Nursery Area, is closed to the taking of shellfish
and carries a water classification of SC. Riparian corridors were not determined. The
neighbors within the excavation vicinity were notified and no objections were received. No
SAV's or shellfish beds were observed within the proposal project area.
10. Proiect Description:
The relocation and excavation of the east end entrance channel of Taylors Creek, per the
applicant, would be for improved channel stability and navigation access. Historically the
USACOE has maintained the channel entrance to a depth of -T MLLW and approximately
75' wide, however, the current alignment has not been dredged since 2017. Carteret
County would like to maintain a channel width of 75' but increase the depth to-12'mllw to
match the interior of Taylors Creek. The connecting water depths are-12'mllw to -14'
mllw. They would also like to realign the channel entrance from its current northwest
direction to a more southwest direction. This area has not been dredged since 2013 and has
naturalized over time with shoaling. Per the applicant this new alignment would match the
channels historic location identified from 2003- 20011 and should provide an improved
flushing potential from Beaufort Inlet. The excavation would be approximately 1200 feet
east of Carrot Island and per the applicant should not cause additional erosion problems.
Per the applicant's sediment sampling, the type of substrate within the dredge area is 97%
sand and 3% fines.
The excavation area would be 75' wide by 2,800' long and would remove a total of 36,000
cubic yards of material. The average existing water depth is-8.8'mllw and the final
excavation depth would be -12 mllw. The spoils would be transported via barge and
offloaded at 2452 Lennoxville Road then transported by dump truck to be offloaded at
2525 Lennoxville Road. The spoils would be stored on an existing concrete pad and
stabilized with erosion control measures.
11. Anticipated Impacts:
The excavation would remove a total of 210,000 sf of shallow bottom habitat and would
cause temporary turbidity during removal. No SAV, CW's or shellfish were observed
within the excavation area. The spoils would be contained at an upland area, on an existing
concrete slab and retained via erosion control measures. Future maintenance excavation
would be anticipated and the proposed channel routes could increase yearly shoreline
erosion by increase in boat traffic.

Dear Mr. Burns and Mr. Rudolph,
This letter is in reference to the application submitted for Carteret County, for a Coastal Area
Management Act Major Permit to undertake development activities to perform dredging within
Taylors Creek, 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 April 18, 2020 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]).
Sincerely,

Afternoon Rudi,
Please see above for the extension letter for East Taylors Creek. To date I am still waiting on USACE and DWR. USACE
comments from their agencies were due at the end of January, but have not heard anything of note to date. I do know
that Liz's questions that were answered by Robert were sufficient to send it out for review, and I have recently
requested an update this week.
In addition, we are coming up on our 150 day date for Wainwrights. I am still waiting on USACE but will have to finalize
a decision by the end of the week. I will notify you if USACE does not respond before then so you are aware that USACE
authorization would still be required. Review agencies requested notification of dredging operations to keep in the loop
for channel location and SAV, so that will be accomplished by coordination of the pre -con meeting. I will make sure you
are notified when we complete things on our end.
For Atlantic Harbor I have only received responses to the regrading White Point for wetland fill question from DMF and
WRC. They are both opposed to regrading due to potential contaminants.
Thanks and let me know if you have any questions,
Gregg

Good Morning Sarah,
Quick question. The CAMA project narrative says the project is to widen the channel to 100 feet. I see comments from
DEQ requesting 75 feet and the DCM field investigation sheet describing the project as 75 feet. Did I read that correctly?
Are they requesting 75 feet or 100 feet?
Thank you for the clarification.

All:
Pursuant to the CAMA-Corps Programmatic Permit process, the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management
(NCDCM) has forwarded to our office a copy of the CAMA permit request for the subject project. The attached notice
requests federal agency comments on this project by January 30, 2020.
The applicant proposes to excavate and re -align the entrance channel of East Taylors Creek, in Beaufort, Carteret
County, North Carolina. Coordinates in Decimal Degrees are: 34.706559 N,-76.616917 W
Specifically, the project consists of deepening and realigning the east end of the entrance Channel of Taylors Creek in
order to stabilize the channel and navigation access. Historically, the US Army Corps of Engineers has maintained the
channel to -7' MLLW and 75' wide in accordance with the 1935 federal authorization, which allows maintenance
operations to follow the most economical dredge alignment as identified by the district engineer. The county proposes
to deepen the channel in this location from -7' MLLW to-12'MLLW to match the depth of the interior of Taylor's Creek.
See page 2 of the applicant's narrative for specifics on authorized depths in Taylors Creek and East Taylors Creek.
The realignment portion of the project would consist of realigning the entrance channel from its current northwest
direction to a more southwest direction. According to the application. the proposed realignment would match the
channel's historic location identified from 2003 to approximately 2011 and would provide an improved flushing
potential from Beaufort Inlet.
The excavation area proposed is 75'wide for a length of 2,800', and would remove a total of 36,000 cubic yards of
material by clamshell dredge or excavator. 210,000 square feet of shallow bottom habitat would be removed from the
project area. The spoils would then be transported via barge and offloaded at 2452 Lennoxville Road then transported
by dump truck to be offloaded at 2525 Lennoxville Road. The spoils would be stored on an existing concrete pad and
stabilized with erosion control measures. (see attached plans for disposal locations).
Additionally, the applicant proposes to limit construction activities to daylight hours between November 16 to March 31.

I
Please see the attached application request, plans, bioreport dated December 11, 2019, and location map for more
detailed information concerning the proposed project.
EFH:
This notice initiates the Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) consultation requirements of the Magnuson -Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act. The Corps' initial determination is that the proposed project may affect, but is not
likely to adversely affect EFH or associated fisheries managed by the South Atlantic or Mid Atlantic Fishery Management
Councils or the National Marine Fisheries Service.
The application identifies waters within the project area as designated SC-HQW by the Division of Water Resources.
Waters within the project area are NOT designated as PNA by the NC Division of Marine Fisheries, and according to the
application are closed relative to the taking of shellfish. Current water depths within the project area average -8.8'
MLLW. An SAV survey was conducted in August 2018, which did not identify any SAV habitat within the project area.
ESA:
The Corps has reviewed the project area, examined all information provided by the applicant and consulted the latest
North Carolina Natural Heritage Database. Based on available information, the Corps has determined that the project
may affect but is not likely to adversely affect the West Indian manatee.
The applicant proposes to implement the USFWS Manatee Guidelines and NMFS Sea Turtle and Smalltooth Sawfish
Recommendations in order to further avoid impacts to ESA listed species.
The project will not affect any other species listed as threatened or endangered or their critical habitat formally
designated pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA) within the project area.
NHPA 106:
Pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, Appendix C of 33 CFR Part 325, and
the 2005 Revised Interim Guidance for Implementing Appendix C, the District Engineer consulted district files and
records and the latest published version of the National Register of Historic Places, the Corps has preliminarily
determined that the proposed project will have no effect on cultural resources and requests concurrence from the State
Historic Preservation Office.
*Section 408 coordination request will follow by separate email.
Please contact me if you have any questions. Please provide comments as soon as you can or by January 30, 2020.
Happy New Year!

Gregg, Thanks for sending this and sorry for the delayed response.
I think the 100' reference NMFS is referring too, represents the currently maintained width for the interior portions of
East Taylor's Creek as provided in Table 1 of the narrative and copied below. Regardless, the proposed width for this
application is 75-ft.
The narrative provides Table 1 to show the current proposal attempts to minimize dredging operations to a reasonable
width and depth, but ultimately less than the interior of the creek under current authorizations. I think the current
reduction in both width and depth currently at the creek entrance, provides a significant shoaling potential. The
County's main intent is to try and reduce this'speed bump' so tidal velocities can maintain the entrance with reduced
maintenance work.
The image below shows Table 1 from page 2 of the narrative along with a graphic providing the Table's reach locations
in planview. (The work in this application will be in Range 5 & 6 from the graphic.)
Please let me know if I have interpreted the question correctlyl

Afternoon Robert,
Please see below for a question that has come up from NMFS. Heather is out of the office so I thought I would go
straight to the source.

Heather,
NMFS is requesting clarification on the width of the proposed project. In both the application and bioreport 75 feet is
referenced, however in the applicant's narrative, they reference 100 feet.
Please see email from NMFS below.

Good Morning Sarah,
Quick question. The CAMA project narrative says the project is to widen the channel to 100 feet. I see comments from
DEC, requesting 75 feet and the DCM field investigation sheet describing the project as 75 feet. Did I read that
correctly? Are they requesting 75 feet or 100 feet?
Thank you for the clarification.

All:
Pursuant to the CAMA-Corps Programmatic Permit process, the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management
(NCDCM) has forwarded to our office a copy of the CAMA permit request for the subject project. The attached notice
requests federal agency comments on this project by January 30, 2020.

The applicant proposes to excavate and re -align the entrance channel of East Taylors Creek, in Beaufort, Carteret
County, North Carolina. Coordinates in Decimal Degrees are: 34.706559 N,-76.616917 W
Specifically, the project consists of deepening and realigning the east end of the entrance Channel of Taylors Creek
in order to stabilize the channel and navigation access. Historically, the US Army Corps of Engineers has maintained the
channel to -7' MLLW and 75' wide in accordance with the 1935 federal authorization, which allows maintenance
operations to follow the most economical dredge alignment as identified by the district engineer. The county proposes
to deepen the channel in this location from -7' MLLW to-12'MLLW to match the depth of the interior of Taylor's Creek.
See page 2 of the applicant's narrative for specifics on authorized depths in Taylors Creek and East Taylors Creek.
The realignment portion of the project would consist of realigning the entrance channel from its current northwest
direction to a more southwest direction. According to the application. the proposed realignment would match the
channel's historic location identified from 2003 to approximately 2011 and would provide an improved flushing
potential from Beaufort Inlet.
The excavation area proposed is 75'wide for a length of 2,800', and would remove a total of 36,000 cubic yards of
material by clamshell dredge or excavator. 210,000 square feet of shallow bottom habitat would be removed from the
project area. The spoils would then be transported via barge and offloaded at 2452 Lennoxville Road then transported
by dump truck to be offloaded at 2525 Lennoxville Road. The spoils would be stored on an existing concrete pad and
stabilized with erosion control measures. (see attached plans for disposal locations).
Additionally, the applicant proposes to limit construction activities to daylight hours between November 16 to
March 31.
Please see the attached application request, plans, bioreport dated December 11, 2019, and location map for more
detailed information concerning the proposed project.
EFH:
This notice initiates the Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) consultation requirements of the Magnuson -Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act. The Corps' initial determination is that the proposed project may affect, but is not
likely to adversely affect EFH or associated fisheries managed by the South Atlantic or Mid Atlantic Fishery Management
Councils or the National Marine Fisheries Service.
The application identifies waters within the project area as designated SC-HQW by the Division of Water Resources.
Waters within the project area are NOT designated as PNA by the NC Division of Marine Fisheries, and according to the
application are closed relative to the taking of shellfish. Current water depths within the project area average -8.8'
MLLW. An SAV survey was conducted in August 2018, which did not identify any SAV habitat within the project area.
ESA:
The Corps has reviewed the project area, examined all information provided by the applicant and consulted the
latest North Carolina Natural Heritage Database. Based on available information, the Corps has determined that the
project may affect but is not likely to adversely affect the West Indian manatee.
The applicant proposes to implement the USFWS Manatee Guidelines and NMFS Sea Turtle and Smalltooth Sawfish
Recommendations in order to further avoid impacts to ESA listed species.
The project will not affect any other species listed as threatened or endangered or their critical habitat formally
designated pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA) within the project area.
NHPA 106:

Pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, Appendix C of 33 CFR Part 325,
and the 2005 Revised Interim Guidance for Implementing Appendix C, the District Engineer consulted district files and
records and the latest published version of the National Register of Historic Places, the Corps has preliminarily
determined that the proposed project will have no effect on cultural resources and requests concurrence from the State
Historic Preservation Office.
*Section 408 coordination request will follow by separate email.
Please contact me if you have any questions. Please provide comments as soon as you can or by January 30, 2020.
Happy New Year!
