Subject: Re: [External] Shellfish relocation plan for Old Ferry Channel
Hi Doug,
After my initial review of the proposal, this plan looks good to me. I'm still searching through our records to see
if I can find any examples of shellfish relocation efforts that could help me provide any additional
feedback/recommendations/etc. If I come across anything, I'll be sure to let you know. As it stands, though, I
don't see any reason to prohibit this relocation plan from moving forward. If you could keep me in the loop on
when and where the work will happen, it would be very much appreciated. I'm hoping that I can make it down
there for at least one of the days to see the operation in progress, if that is okay with everyone involved in the
project.
Thanks Doug, and I hope you have a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving as well!

Hi Jimmy,

r . - �
I hope things are going well and you and your family are safe.
Thanks for all your work in helping to get the Carteret County Old Ferry Channel maintenance dredging project
permitted. We should be picking a contractor to do the work sometime next week.
In accordance with the LAMA permit (Permit 105-20) conditions, we have developed a shellfish relocation plan for
portions of Deer Creek where there is the potential for shellfish to occur within the upcoming dredge footprint. I
wanted to run our plan (see attached) by you to see if it looks acceptable. If you can let us know your thoughts on this,
we will then move forward with implementation of the relocation effort.
Thanks again, and I hope you have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving.
Take care,
Doug

Afternoon Robert and Doug,
Please see above for the hold request for Carteret County. In speaking with Doug earlier today the SAV and Shellfish
surveys will require a little more time to coordinate and complete. The agencies are all waiting on the results before
making a final call so once the surveys are complete and comments come back I will coordinate any comments of
note. Doug had mentioned the potential for a call to discuss options after the surveys are reviewed and I think,
depending on comments from the other agencies, that expanding the call to others should help speed things up as
well. It seems that options are already been discussed between Doug and Jimmy Harrison with DMF so there has
already been good dialog.
Also I received an update from USACE and Liz noted that the 408 is currently under review.
So I will be hopeful that the results of the survey and any coordination of avoidance and minimization that may result
from comments should be able to be completed quickly.
Thanks as always,
Gregg

Dear Mr. Neal and Mr. Huggett,
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
Old Ferry Channel and Deer 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. 113A-122(c)
which would make October 9, 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,
Gregory W. Bodnar

Morning Robert and Doug,
The 75 day for the project is this weekend so I wanted to get this out today. I updated Doug recently, the biggest items
are the SAV and Shellfish survey requested by DMF and USACE has the project out for review until 8/8/20. 1 did discuss
the survey with Liz and she will not need to re -circulate if the survey shows no impacts to SAV or shellfish. All others are
still reviewing. I will continue to coordinate if anything of note come up.
Thanks,
Gregg

Robert,
I had a good call with Jimmy Harrison with DMF this afternoon concerning some of the items that were in the attached
letter.
First, with regards to SAV habitat, Jimmy and I agreed that after a SAV survey was conducted, I would get back together
with DMF and we could re -assess the need to use turbidity curtains if any SAV is located within 100' of the dredge
alignment. It is possible that, based upon the relative density and location of any SAV adjacent to the project, turbidity
curtains may not be needed, or at least may not be needed in all areas (especially in the more open -water areas where
curtains may be more problematic). The timing of the project (within dredge window versus outside of the dredge
window) may also be factored into the decision.
We next discussed some of the timing and other issues surrounding the requirement for a shellfish survey and
subsequent relay efforts. I asked Jimmy if we could utilize a more informal shellfish relocation option like has been used
on past projects (simple relocation of any shellfish within the dredge footprint to areas just outside of the footprint) if
the results of a shellfish survey do not show heavy densities. Jimmy was amenable to this idea as well. This also could
hopefully allow for a waiver to the timing restrictions for relay activities (April 1— May 15), which could otherwise create
timing issues as we try and get the work done during the next dredge window. Therefore, after doing the shellfish
survey, we will get back together with DMF and re-evaluate the need for the more formal relay processes.
With this in mind, I think we need to move forward with doing the SAV and Shellfish surveys as quickly as possible, then
we can reconnect with DMF on these items and have a clearer picture of what permit requirements we will be subject
to.
Please let me know if any edits or corrections you might have. I will also be in touch as soon as we make some progress
on the surveys.
Thanks, and I hope you have a good weekend.

CAUTION'This email originated from outside of the organization.
Morning Robert,
Thanks for the information. I will review and send out to the agencies. For a quick clarification, did you decide to reduce
the footprint around the SAV or did you shift the footprint?
Thanks,
Gregg

Gregg,

Please find attached, the revised CAMA Major permit submittal containing the additional information requested for the
shellfish and SAV habitat in the project area.
Also included is the property owner notification for the small extension of the dredge footprint at the Deer Creek
terminus near Yaupon Drive.
The additional information clarifies the dredge activities will maintain a 10-ft buffer from any identified SAV habitat and
Carteret County will relocate shellfish located in the dredge footprint in accordance with DMF guidance.
For reference, the following files are attached:
Revised MP-1 Form
• Revised MP-2 Form
• Revised Permit Narrative
• Revised Permit Drawings
• Additional Riparian Property Notice for the Deer Creek Extension
• The Shellfish Survey results
• Revised Table of Contents
Please let me know if I may provide any additional information!
Best Regards,
Robert Neal, P.E.

Major Permit Application Carteret County— Old Ferry Landing and Deer Creek
July 7, 2020
Consistency Determination: The request is consistent with the Carteret County Land Use Plan certified by
the CRC on December 20, 2010; the Cape Carteret CAMA Land Use Plan certified by the CRC on May 18,
2007; and the Emerald Isle Comprehensive Land Use Plan certified by the CRC on January 24, 2018.
Overview: Carteret County proposing to excavate the existing navigation channel referenced as Old Ferry
Channel from Cape Carteret to Emerald Isle and within Deer Creek. The Old Ferry Channel extends from
Cape Carteret across Bogue Sound (cuts through the AIWW) and continues to Emerald Isle.
AECs onsite include EW and PTA. The project will occur in two water bodies: Bogue Sound and Deer Creek.
Bogue Sound is classified as ORW, is not a PNA, and is open to the taking of shellfish. Deer Creek is
classification is ORW, it is not a PNA, and is closed to the taking of shellfish. No SAV's or shellfish beds
were observed within the proposal project area
The county is proposing to restore the Old Ferry Channel to a width of 30' to 50' wide (depending on
location), 6,750 in length and a final depth of -6' mlw +1. They are also proposing a width of 30' to 50'
within the Deer Creek entrance channel, 6,200' in length and a final depth of-5' mlw +1. The final portion
of the project would be maintenance excavation within the canals of Deer Creek that serve the residential
areas. The applicant is proposing to maintain a 20' x 30' channel width, 6,00' in length and a final depth of
-4' mlw+.5 and -5' mlw + 1 depending on location. The connecting water depths are -4' mlw to -8' mlw
depending on location. The excavation would remove a total of 38,733 cubic yards of material. The
average existing water depth is -2'mlw to -4' mlw depending on location and the final excavation depth
would be -4' mlw +.5 and -5' mlw + 1 within the Deer Creek canals, -5' mlw + 1 within the Deer Creek
access channel and -6' mlw+ 1 within the Old Ferry Channel.
North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Coastal Management
Morehead City Office 1 400 Commerce Avenue I Morehead City, North Carolina 28557
252.8082808

FA
Per the applicant both the Deer Creek and the Old Ferry Channel maintenance operations would utilize
three material placement sites and one transfer site. The transfersite is located at 314 Live Oak Drive with
the material placement sites located at 312,314 and 324 Live Oak Drive, 307 Bayshore Drive and 916 WB
Mclean Boulevard. The spoils would be removed by a clamshell or excavator type dredge, loaded on a
barge and then unloaded into a dump truck for hauling and placement on the disposal sites. The spoils
would be located a minimum of 30' above NHW and stabilized with erosion control measures.
Anticipated impacts
The excavation would remove a total of 827,500 sf (38,733 CY) of shallow bottom habitat and would
cause temporary turbidity during removal. The spoils would be contained at upland areas and retained
via erosion control measures. Future maintenance excavation is anticipated and the proposed channel
routes could increase yearly shoreline erosion by increase in boat traffic.
Basis for Determination: The project site is subject to land use plans in Carteret County, Emerald Isle,
and Cape Carteret. The proposed project has been reviewed against each plan for consistency.
The 2005 Carteret County Land Use Plan's Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designates the site as
Conservation (Areas of Environmental Concern). 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:
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.
Emerald Isle Comprehensive Land Use Plan Future Land Use Map does not apply a classification to the
proposed dredge area.
The following LUP policies may be applicable to this request:
Policy 14. The Town recognizes the importance of the 575-foot outstanding resource waters (ORW)
estuarine shoreline in protecting water quality in Bogue Sound, and supports use standards that preserve
natural barriers to erosion, require vegetated buffers, require on -site retention of stormwater, and keep
impervious surfaces to a minimum. The Town will continue to enforce local ordinances that support these
objectives in the ORW-estuarine shoreline (P). Schedule: Continuing.
Cape Carteret CAMA Land Use Plan's Future Land Use Map does not apply a classification to the proposed
dredge area. The area's identified as spoil sites are classified as Low Density Residential.
The following LUP policies may be applicable to this request:
4.2.6, Policy 4: Policy 4: The town's policy is to restrict development in estuarine waters and public trust
waters to those uses which will not cause significant degradation of the natural function nor condition of
the estuarine waters and public trust areas. Any development within estuarine or public trust waters must
be consistent with CAMA 7H Use Standards and local development.

SUBJECT: CAMA/DREDGE & FILL- Carteret County- Maintenance Dredging
As mentioned in the application, coordination with DMF's Habitat Enhancement Section is
desired to organize an oyster relocation plan. This effort will minimize potential impacts to
oyster habitat in the School House Creek portion of the project.
Also, because a portion of the dredge material is being removed from an area that is closed
to shellfishing, unintended discharges from the dewatering of the spoils into Approved
shellfishing waters will cause a temporary shellfish closure. The areas of concern include
the Deer Creek main branch, and School House/Rocky Run Creek found on sheets 8-18 and
22-24. The two primary disposal sites are directly adjacent to the Approved waters of Old
Ferry Channel, and pose the greatest risk of direct runoff having a negative impact on the
local water quality. Placement of spoils from the closed waters further upstream, at the
designated secondary disposal site, would reduce the risk of a negative impact to open
shellfishing waters. It is requested that our section be notified prior to any dredging
activity, so that we can determine at that time if a temporary shellfish closure is needed.

Gregg,
The updates seem to have addressed the issues that I raised with the initial proposal. Considering the measures
being taken to avoid and/or minimize impacts to SAV and shellfish and the included timing restrictions of in -
water work, DMF has no additional comments to provide. I would like to emphasize, though, the importance of
working with DMF and other interested parties/agencies regarding shellfish relocation, and that I'm willing to

4' +.5' and -5' + 1' (depending on location). The county has indicated that channel
maintenance operations would utilize three material placement sites and one transfer site.
Material would be removed by clamshell or excavator dredge, loaded onto a barge, then
unloaded into a dump truck for hauling and placement on the disposal sites. The spoils
would be located a minimum of 30' above normal high water (NHW) and stabilized with
erosion control measures. Carteret County will limit the construction activities to daytime
hours between November 16th and March 315t.
The proposed project occurs within an area that has historically supported submerged
aquatic vegetation (SAV). SAV is a highly valuable habitat, both environmentally and
economically. These habitats provide nursery, foraging, and/or spawning areas for various
recreationally and commercially important fish and invertebrate species. Additionally, SAV
plays a critical role in natural erosion control and shoreline stabilization, as well as water

quality enhancement, primary production, and nutrient cycling. Therefore, it is crucial that
SAV habitat be protected, in order to maintain these critical environmental contributions.
Prior to the commencement of dredging activities, a survey for SAV should be completed
and the results of that survey should be provided to DMF, as well as any additional
interested agencies/parties. This survey should be completed during the active growth
period (April through October), preferably - if possible - during the peak of this period.
For any areas with SAV habitat present that are within 100 feet of the dredging footprint, a
turbidity curtain should be placed between the dredging operation and the SAV habitat in
order to minimize the increases in turbidity and sediment deposition in these critical
habitats. Any turbidity curtain used should be left in place for a minimum of 72 hours after
completion of the work in order to allow sediment to settle.
As noted in the application documents, there is a potential existence of oyster habitat
within a portion of the project area. The applicant intends to conduct an oyster relocation
prior to dredging School House Creek. Carteret County will coordinate with DMF during
the development and implementation of the oyster relocation plan, and will provide DCM
with notice of satisfactory completion of the relocation efforts from DMF prior to initiation
dredging in School House Creek.
It is the DMF's position that oyster habitat is a vital component of the estuarine system, and
it must be protected from physical harm, its restoration and growth must be fostered, and
preventing its physical destruction by dredging or filling is essential. Therefore, DMF
would generally oppose alteration applications that may negatively impact existing oyster
resources. However, where site -specific conditions warrant, an applicant may sometimes
relocate existing resources to suitable nearby habitat. In order for relocation to be
considered as an option by DMF, there must be less than commercial quantities (defined as
a rate of 10 bushels per acre by rule 15A NCAC 30.0201(a)(1)). Therefore, DMF requests
that the applicant has the site surveyed for oysters, in order to verify that any oysters
present in the area are within this threshold. Results of this survey will be necessary in
determining if relocation is a viable option.
This section of DMF wants to reiterate the importance of coordinating with the law
enforcement, resource enhancement, and Shellfish Sanitation sections of DMF, as well as
any other necessary sections/agencies. Furthermore, shellfish relocation must occur
during relay season (April lst through May 151h), and must be relayed by commercial
fishermen who hold a permit to relay. The site must be located in an area that is open to
relay as determined by DMF and must occur under the current rules and regulations of
DMF.

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 August 8, 2020.
The applicant proposes to perform dredging activities within the existing navigation channels of the Deer Creek system
and Old Ferry Channel from Cape Carteret to Emerald Isle, in order to provide enhanced/increased recreational
navigation access for residents and tourists, in Cape Carteret and Emerald Isle, to the AIWW. According to the
application, the Old Ferry Channel (approximately 1.3 miles) originally supported ferry traffic from 1961-1971, which
has since served as recreational navigation access once the bridge to Emerald Isle was constructed in 1971. There are no
known maintenance dredging events associated with the Old Ferry Channel since it was constructed. The Deer Creek
system includes navigation channels associated with multiple residential areas in Cape Carteret, and is 2.3 miles in
length, and includes a connection to the Old Ferry Channel. Maintenance dredging has occurred in portions of Deer
Creek, however it is unknown if the entirety of Deer Creek has ever received maintenance excavation. Land use
surrounding the Deer Creek shoreline is residential development.
Decimal Degrees for the midpoint of the project area are: 34.684952 N,-77.053363 W.
Specifically, the project consists of conducting dredging within the channels of the Deer Creek system ( Deer Creek
Connecting Channel, Deer Creek North (main channel), Deer Creek South (main channel), School House Creek, and Deer
Creek West Branch) in Cape Carteret and the channel identified as Old Ferry Channel from its confluence with Deer
Creek/Bogue Sound crossing the AIWW to Emerald Isle, NC, via bucket to barge method, with disposal of dredged
material at three separate locations on Live Oak Drive ( 312, 314, and 324 Live Oak Drive), one disposal site on Bayshore
Drive (307 Bayshore Drive), and one disposal site located at 916 WB McLean Boulevard (HWY 24), all in Cape Carteret,
NC. A maximum total of 29,058 cubic yards of material is proposed to be removed from the Deer Creek System, with
approximately 9,675 cubic yards of material removed from Old Ferry Channel with a priority focus on shoaled areas.
Volume calculations were generated from a hydrographic survey conducted by Carteret County in August of 2018.
According to the applicant, completion of the full project may not be possible due to budgetary constraints. The County

Hey Gregg,
Hope you are doing well. I just wanted to give you an update on where the Corps is with these 2 projects. Since both
have the potential to impact Corps' federal projects, 408 review is required. Both 408 coordination requests have been
submitted and are currently under review. I anticipate a memo due to the potential minor impacts associated with the
proposals. I'll keep you posted.

Ok-if the survey comes back w/ no issues, then I won't need to re -coordinate w/ NOAA. I would imagine we would
require the standard 291 conditions, the in water work moratorium, Manatee Guidelines, a condition to address
Navigation's concern re: shoaling, and maybe a condition of the 408 review, but not sure what that would be. I think we
have a standard statement that we add to our permit that covers it.
My notice date ends August 8.

The narrative said no SAV or shellfish, but DMF wanted a survey. Let me know how timing goes with you. This one did
not get out for review until almost the 75 day date. FYI, there is a possibility I may have to make a final decision before
your done because the 75 day is already Sunday. Fingers Crossed.

Ok-thanks for the head's up. FYI, since the project crosses the Corps federal project (AIWW) a section 408 review will be
required (currently underway), and Navigation had the following comment on the proposal:
"Navigation has only a minor concern about this project. Since this project crosses the AIWW Federal project so we
would like to ensure that they do not create any shoaling within the federal channel (by pushing material around,
transporting material, etc.). If no shoaling in the federal project navigation does not believe this will impact the project
negatively."
Not sure of the time frame for the 408 review. They did say it would be a memo and not a full blown EA.

Dear Mr. Howell:
Reference the application of Carteret County to perform maintenance excavation of the
Old Ferry Channel ( 6,750 linear foot access channel) and waters of the Deer Creek system
12,200 linear foot access channel and residential canal), near Cape Carteret and Emerald Isle,
in Carteret County, North Carolina.
Specifically, the project consists of conducting maintenance dredging within Old Ferry
Channel and Deer Creek, via bucket to barge method, placing material in a hopper barge to
the designated offloading site. Spoil material will be placed on high ground sites within
proximity of Deer Creek. The proposed cut in the Old Ferry access channel would be 6,150'
long and 50' wide with inaugural sections of Cape Carteret and Emerald Isle at 30' wide
totaling approximately 600' in length. Average water depths in the Old Ferry Channel are -4'
MLW and would increase to -6' MLW+1'. Proposed dredging of the Deer Creek access
channel would be 6,200 linear feet with a 50' width for 4,000 ft and varying widths for a 2,200-
foot section. Average water depths in the access channel of Deer Creek are -3' MLW with final
proposed dredge depth of -5' MLW +1. Proposed dredging of the Deer Creek residential canal
would total 6, 000 linear feet, with a 30' width for 500 ft and the remaining 5,500 linear feet at a
20' width. Average water depths within the Deer Creek residential canal area are -2' MLW and

would increase to -5' MLW +1 and 4 MLW +0.5' depending on location. A total of 38,733
cubic yards is proposed to be excavated from the channels. Connecting water depths range
from 4to -8' at Mean Low Water, depending on location. The excavated material would be
placed on high ground at five sites, 916 WB McLean Drive, 312, 314, and 324 Live Oak Drive,
and 307 Bayshore Drive. Additionally, prior to dredging, the applicant proposes to relocate
oysters identified within the project area in coordination with the North Carolina Division of
Marine Fisheries.

Dear Mr. Howell:
Reference the application of Carteret County to perform maintenance excavation of the
Old Ferry Channel ( 6,750 linear foot access channel) and waters of the Deer Creek system
12,200 linear foot access channel and residential canal), near Cape Carteret and Emerald Isle,
in Carteret County, North Carolina.
Specifically, the project consists of conducting maintenance dredging within Old Ferry
Channel and Deer Creek, via bucket to barge method, placing material in a hopper barge to
the designated offloading site. Spoil material will be placed on high ground sites within
proximity of Deer Creek. The proposed cut in the Old Ferry access channel would be 6,150'
long and 50' wide with inaugural sections of Cape Carteret and Emerald Isle at 30' wide
totaling approximately 600' in length. Average water depths in the Old Ferry Channel are -4'
MLW and would increase to -6' MLW+1'. Proposed dredging of the Deer Creek access
channel would be 6,200 linear feet with a 50' width for 4,000 ft and varying widths for a 2,200-
foot section. Average water depths in the access channel of Deer Creek are -3' MLW with final
proposed dredge depth of -5' MLW +1. Proposed dredging of the Deer Creek residential canal
would total 6, 000 linear feet, with a 30' width for 500 ft and the remaining 5,500 linear feet at a
20' width. Average water depths within the Deer Creek residential canal area are -2' MLW and
would increase to -5' MLW +1 and -4' MLW +0.5' depending on location. A total of 38,733
cubic yards is proposed to be excavated from the channels. Connecting water depths range
from -4' to -8' at Mean Low Water, depending on location. The excavated material would be

Gregg,
Thanks for checking with me. I just went back through the updated project narrative, and the narrative includes
a timing restriction of daytime hours between Nov 16 and March 31. This would aid in the minimization of
impacts to SAV, as it only allow work outside of the active growing season. As long as they're still willing to
keep that, I won't have any additional timing restrictions to request. Thanks again for checking!

Gregg,
The updates seem to have addressed the issues that I raised with the initial proposal. Considering the measures
being taken to avoid and/or minimize impacts to SAV and shellfish and the included timing restrictions of in -
water work, DMF has no additional comments to provide. I would like to emphasize, though, the importance of
working with DMF and other interested parties/agencies regarding shellfish relocation, and that I'm willing to
help as much as possible. Thanks Gregg!

9. Narrative Description
The Carteret County channel excavation project is located within Deer Creek and the Old
Ferry Channel that extends from Cape Carteret across Bogue Sound (cuts through the
AIW W) and continues to Emerald Isle' Bogue Sound is 1.2 miles in length from Cape
Carteret to Emerald Isle within this location, however there are marsh islands within the
center of Bogue Sound that may affect the water body width calculation. The AIW W
within this location is approximately 775' from the south side of Hunting Island in the

Field Investigation Report:

Page 02
Cape Carteret area.
The Town of Cape Carteret and Emerald Isle Land Use Plans classifies these areas as
Conservation. This section of Bogue Sound is not designated as a Primary Nursery Area, is
open to the taking of shellfish and carries a water classification of ORW while Deer Creek
is not designated as Primary Nursery Area, is closed to the taking of shellfish and carries a
water classification of ORW. 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 excavation of Deer Creek and the Old Ferry Channel, per the applicant, would help
enhance recreational navigation access for residents and visitors in Cape Carteret and
Emerald Isle to the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW). Historically the Old Ferry
Channel supported the ferry operation for travel from Cape Carteret to Emerald Isle from
1961 to 1971 until the B. Cameron Langston Bridge (Emerald Isle Bridge) was
constructed. Per the applicant this would be the first known maintenance excavation for
the channel since its original construction. It now serves as a primary recreational
navigation access for Cape Carteret. Deer Creek connects to the Old Ferry Channel and
serves as recreational navigation access to several residential areas. Portions of Deer Creek
have been excavated through the years but it is unknown if Deer Creek has received
maintenance excavation in its entirety.
Carteret County would like to restore the Old Ferry Channel width to 30' to 50' wide
(depending on location), 6,750 in length and a final depth of -6' mlw +1. They are also
proposing a width of 30' to 50' within the Deer Creek entrance channel, 6,200' in length
and a final depth of -5' mlw+1. The final portion of the project would be maintenance
excavation within the canals of Deer Creek that seCvg. the residential areas. The applicant is
proposing to maintain a 20' x 30' channel width, 6n length and a final depth of -4'
mlw+.5 and -5' mlw+ 1 depending on location. The connecting water depths are -4' mlw
to -8' mlw depending on location. The excavation would remove a total of 38,733 cubic
yards of material. The average existing water depth is -2'mlw to -4' mlw depending on
location and the final excavation depth would be -4' mlw +.5 and -5' mlw +1 within the
Deer Creek canals, -5' mlw +1 within the Deer Creek access channel and -6' mlw +1
within the Old Ferry Channel. Per the applicant both the Deer Creek and the Old Ferry
Channel maintenance operations would utilize three material placement sites and one
transfer site. The transfer site is located at 314 Live Oak Drive with the material placement
sites located at 312,314 and 324 Live Oak Drive, 307 Bayshore Drive and 916 WB Mclean
Boulevard. The spoils would be removed by a clamshell or excavator type dredge, loaded
on a barge and then unloaded into a dump truck for hauling and placement on the disposal
sites. The spoils would be located a minimum of 30' above NEW and stabilized with
erosion control measures.
11. Anticipated Impacts:
The excavation would remove a total of 827,500 sf (38,733CY) 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 upland areas 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.

Re: [External] Dredge Project of the Old Ferry Channel and Deer Creek
Dear Heather,
Will an email suffice? I have no objections, I just want the contractor to use the Green Recycling Solutions
wattles around the spoil on the locations 1 am allowing the county to use. The wattles are reputed to be a
"cost effective, environmentally friendly erosion and stormwater control solution." I do not want to hold up
the project, but I had to bring to the attention of the engineers that the address for the spoil site on Live Oak
Drive on the letter I signed was for the "Penthouse" since that is the only structure on the property I own on
Live Oak Drive, but that is not where the spoil is to be deposited. Sorry I did not catch that.. I believe some
earlier 911 maps showed only that address, and that of the Harboriight Bed & Breakfast, with no regard to
vacant lots on either side, or across the street. Now some of the vacant property has addresses, but they do
not line up with the new preliminary subdivision maps. The original lots in that area are recorded on
Mapbook 5, page 65, Carteret County Registry, but the lots in that block are 50' wide, with most being 150'
deep, and the zoning later imposed by the Town of Cape Carteret in the R-10 zone requires 15,000 square
feet for a dwelling if more than two lots are owned by the same owner, as mine are. So at some point I will
recombine the lots to conform to the zoning, though that may not be for some time. I am fine with the
contractor selected by the county depositing spoil on either side of the boat ramp that exists on Live Oak
Drive, since those lots do not "perc" anyway, but I certainly do not want them to put any in the vicinity of the
Penthouse.
The other spoil site I am allowing them to use is on Highway 24, between Bayshore Drive and Lejeune
Drive. Manatee Investments Limited Partnership owns all the lots fronting Highway 24 between those roads,
although they were acquired by different deeds, at different times. On the 911 map I have the address is
shown for the corner of NC 24 and Lejeune Drive as 916 WB McLean Blvd, and as 920 WB McLean Blvd for the
corner of NC 24 and Bayshore Drive. There was a recombination of these lots with others. Cape Carteret
zoning requires a minimum of 20,000 square feet for use as commercial property, which is what the zoning is
for these lots.
I want to be clear that the county or their agent is responsible for obeying all the rules, and I am not gaining
any particular advantage in allowing spoil to be deposited on my property, except to benefit the boating

Dear Heather:
I am very anxious to speak to you about the project proposed by Carteret County in the Cape Carteret area. I
am very much in favor of this project for the use and enjoyment of the boating community in Cape
Carteret. Although I no longer even own a boat, I recognize the benefit to those who do, residents and
visitors alike, who use Bogue Sound where allowed by sufficient depth. The first letter which I received is not
dated. It incorrectly lists the address of 328 Live Oak Drive as one of the spoil areas. That happens to be the
address of the "Penthouse" and is NOT an area offered to Carteret County for the deposit of spoils from this
project. The second letter, of eight pages, contains more information about the project, but it also is not
dated. It was forwarded tome by C.L. Braxton.. The second letter shows a material offloading site which
needs to be confirmed, and uses the 328 address incorrectly as well.

Dear Heather,
Will an email suffice? I have no objections, [just want the contractor to use the Green Recycling Solutions
wattles around the spoil on the locations I am allowing the county to use. The wattles are reputed to be a
"cost effective, environmentally friendly erosion and stormwater control solution." I do not want to hold up
the project, but I had to bring to the attention of the engineers that the address for the spoil site on Live Oak
Drive on the letter I signed was for the "Penthouse" since that is the only structure on the property I own on
Live Oak Drive, but that is not where the spoil is to be deposited. Sorry I did not catch that. I believe some
earlier 911 maps showed only that address, and that of the Harborlight Bed & Breakfast, with no regard to
vacant lots on either side, or across the street. Now some of the vacant property has addresses, but they do
not line up with the new preliminary subdivision maps. The original lots in that area are recorded on
Mapbook 5, page 65, Carteret County Registry, but the lots in that block are 50' wide, with most being 150'
deep, and the zoning later imposed by the Town of Cape Carteret in the R-10 zone requires 15,000 square
feet for a dwelling if more than two lots are owned by the same owner, as mine are. So at some point I will
recombine the lots to conform to the zoning, though that may not be for some time. I am fine with the
contractor selected by the county depositing spoil on either side of the boat ramp that exists on Live Oak
Drive, since those lots do not "perc" anyway, but I certainly do not want them to put any in the vicinity of the
Penthouse.
The other spoil site I am allowing them to use is on Highway 24, between Bayshore Drive and Lejeune
Drive. Manatee Investments Limited Partnership owns all the lots fronting Highway 24 between those roads,
although they were acquired by different deeds, at different times. On the 911 map I have the address is
shown for the corner of NC 24 and Lejeune Drive as 916 WB McLean Blvd, and as 920 WB McLean Blvd for the
corner of NC 24 and Bayshore Drive. There was a recombination of these lots with others. Cape Carteret
zoning requires a minimum of 20,000 square feet for use as commercial property, which is what the zoning is
for these lots.
I want to be clear that the county or their agent is responsible for obeying all the rules, and I am not gaining
any particular advantage in allowing spoil to be deposited on my property, except to benefit the boating
public, either residents of Cape Carteret, or visitors. I no longer even have a boat! But I am very much in favor
of this project, and thank the Carteret County Commissioners for undertaking it, which will serve as a primary
recreational navigation access, not only for Cape Carteret, but for many Emerald Isle residents and

Carteret County Shallow Draft Navigation Waterways
Old Ferry Channel & Deer Creek Maintenance Dredging
Project Narrative
Carteret County intends to maintenance dredge the navigation systems referenced as Old Ferry Channel
and Deer Creek adjoining Bogue Sound in Cape Carteret. The dredging operations will help enhance
recreational navigation access for residents and visitors in Cape Carteret and Emerald Isle to the Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway(AIWW).
The Old Ferry Channel spans approximately 6,750 linear feet (If) (1.3 miles) across the AIWW to connect
the townships of Cape Carteret and Emerald Isle. The channel supported a ferry operation from 1961 to
1971, until the B. Cameron Langston Bridge, otherwise known as the Emerald Isle Bridge, was constructed.
Since 1971, the Old Ferry Channel has served as a primary recreational navigation access for the Cape
Carteret boating community. The proposed work stipulates the first known maintenance event for the Old
Ferry Channel since the original construction by W.B. McLean as a developmental action for Cape Carteret.
Deer Creek includes a system of navigation channels facilitating access to multiple residential areas in Cape
Carteret. The Deer Creek system covers approximately 12,200 If (2.3 miles) inclusive of a connection to
the Old Ferry Channel. Deer Creek provides recreational navigation access to five (5) separate residential
areas containing an estimated 18,300 If (3.5 miles) of shoreline. Maintenance dredging occurred in sections
of Deer Creek in 2001 and 2007, although the records do not indicate maintenance ever occurred throughout
the entire system. Figure 1 below shows the proposed Old Ferry Channel and Deer Creek maintenance
areas.

The proposed maintenance dredging project will restore the Old Ferry Channel to a 50-ft width at -7-ft (-
6+1) MLW with 3H:1 V side slopes. Although the main alignment of the Old Ferry Channel maintains the
50-ft width, both the Cape Carteret and Emerald Isle inaugural sections begin with a 30-ft width to help
minimize potential shoreline impacts. The dredging project will remove approximately 9,675 cubic yards
(CY) of fine grained sand and silt from the shoaled areas of the Old Ferry Channel. A clamshell or excavator
type dredge will remove the spoil material for placement in an upland site. The dredge spoil will be placed
on a floating barge or bin for transport from the dredge area to a material transfer site on Cape Carteret. At
the transfer site, material will be `transferred' from the floating barge to dump trucks (or other hauling
equipment) for hauling to one of three (3) placement sites. Tab E (Permit Drawings) shows the proposed
Old Ferry Channel dredge area, the material transfer site, and the upland material placement sites in Cape
Carteret. The material transfer site is located at 314 Live Oak Drive and the material placement sites are
located at 312, 314, & 324 Live Oak Drive (1 site), 307 Bayshore Drive, and 916 WB McLean Drive (Hwy
24). Tab F (Consent of Use Agreements) provides the consent of use agreements for the transfer site and
placement of the dredge material at each of the three (3) respective placement sites.
Tab E (Permit Drawings) also shows the proposed dredge footprints for the Deer Creek channel segments.
Deer Creek consists of four (4) branches and a connecting channel extending from the Old Ferry Channel.
The project will remove a maximum of 29,058 CY from the Deer Creek system. The connecting channel
originates from a 150-ft widener positioned along the northern segment of the Old Ferry Channel. The
widener begins with an approximate 300-ft width and narrows to a 50-ft width over a 150-ft length. The
connecting channel then extends approximately 2,000 If at -6-ft (-5+1) MLW to the main branch of Deer
Creek. The main branch extends in both a north and south direction with a 30-ft width at -6-ft (-5+1) MLW.
The northern extension covers approximately 500-ft before diverting to the northwest and branching again
to School House Creek (also referenced as Rocky Run). Both the Deer Creek (North) and School House
Creek continue with a 20-ft width at -4.5-ft (4 +0.5) MLW. These channels have a decreased navigation
space available within the residential areas of Deer Creek due to lower anticipated vessel density. The Deer
Creek (North) channel continues in a northwest direction for approximately 2,200 If to reach the terminus
near Yaupon Drive and Highway 24 in Cape Carteret. School House Creek also extends approximately
2,200 if and terminates at Highway 24.
The southern extension of the main Deer Creek channel, referenced as Deer Creek (South), increases from
the 30-ft width identified at the confluence with the connecting channel to the Old Ferry Channel, to a 50-
ft width approximately 3001f from the confluence area. A west branch originates where the main channel
expands to a 50-ft width. This branch, referenced as Deer Creek (West), extends approximately 1,100 If
with a 20-ft width at -4.5-ft (4 +0.5) MLW to the terminus at Yaupon Road. Deer Creek (South) continues
from the branch point with a 50-ft width at -6-ft (-5+1) MLW for approximately 3,750 If to a deep -water
path in Bogue Sound that accesses the AIWW. Deer Creek (South) follows the Cape Carteret shoreline
near Hunting Island and makes a western directional turn towards the Emerald Isle Bridge. Deer Creek
(South) then merges with the deep -water path which adjoins the AIWW. The increased width for Deer
Creek (South) provides additional maneuverability for vessel traffic anticipated from the AIWW. As the
multiple Deer Creek channels access predominately residential canals, the widths decrease in expectations
of slower navigation speeds and vessel density. Table I provides the design standards for both the Deer
Creek and Old Ferry Channel navigational systems.
Both the Deer Creek and Old Ferry Channel maintenance operations will utilize the three (3) material
placement sites and one (1) transfer site located at the Cape Carteret terminus of the Old Ferry Channel.
Erosion control structures, such as silt fencing, biodegradable wattles, and earthen berms, will be

implemented and maintained until vegetation cover establishes enough to stabilize the placed material.
Material may be placed in the designated facilities up to six (6-ft) feet above the pre -construction grade for
either site. However, the final grading for each site will provide a steepest slope of 3H:1V for slope
stabilization. In addition, the sites will be smooth graded to discourage water ponding. Figure 2 shows the
referenced material transfer site and the three (3) placement areas for the Old Ferry Channel and Deer Creek
maintenance operations.

The volumetric calculations stem from a hydrographic survey Carteret County conducted in August 2018.
Tab G (Hydrographic Survey) shows a color -coded depiction of the reference survey. The survey shows
several `hotspots' or shoaled areas in the Old Ferry Channel and Deer Creek system. The shoaled areas
reflect a red or yellow color and indicate elevations approaching 0 MLLW (-0.15 MLW)t. The shoaled
areas will be prioritized during the maintenance event to minimize dredging costs and potential impacts.
Carteret County most likely will not dredge the complete navigational system as described due to budget
limitations. However, Carteret County requests authorization to dredge the full footprint, as described for
the Old Ferry Channel and Deer Creek, in the event additional funds become available in out -year budgets.
'Obtaining and preserving the appropriate state and federal authorizations through one permitting process,
for the complete Old Ferry Channel and Deer Creek system, provides a future potential cost savings by
avoiding multiple permit submittals.
Carteret County will also limit the construction activities to daytime hours between November 16' and
March 31". Limiting the construction timeframe to the cooler winter months will reduce the injury risk to
potential migrating species such as West Indian manatee, and juvenile fish species. Scheduling the work in
the winter months will also reduce the potential risk of injuring or harassing sea turtles, which generally
show a greater presence density in the summer months. The dredging will also maintain a 10-ft buffer from
aquatic vegetation such as marsh grass or vegetated wetlands. Implementing the buffer will help minimize
the potential for the channel side slopes to erode the vegetation through tidal scour or boat wake impacts.
Carteret County also acknowledges the potential existence of oyster habitat within School House Creek. In
order to minimize the potential impacts to oyster in this area, Carteret County will conduct an oyster
relocation prior to dredging School House Creek. Carteret County will coordinate with the N.C. Division
of Marine Fisheries (DMF) during the develop and implementation of the oyster relocation plan. Carteret
County will also provide the N.C. Division of Coastal Management (DCM) with notice of satisfactory
completion of the relocation efforts from DMF, prior to initiating dredging activities in School House
Creek.
Previous Permits
As referenced above, the proposed work will be the first known maintenance dredging event for the Old
Ferry Channel since the original construction in 1961. W. B. McLean conducted the original dredging to
promote ferry travel between Cape Carteret and Emerald Isle'. Subsequently, North Carolina operated a
ferry service through the navigation channel until 1971, when the B. Cameron Langston Bridge replaced
the ferry service as the primary access between Emerald Isle and Cape Carteret. The Old Ferry Channel has
maintained navigation depth, presumably due to the boating traffic and tidal currents helping to flush
shoaled sediment from the waterway. The original construction also did not fall under permit review. The
original dredging occurred prior to 1972 and the enactment of the North Carolina Dredge and Fill Law and
the federal Coastal Zone Management Act.
Portions of the Deer Creek system have been previously maintained. Tab H (Previous Permits) contains
records of maintenance events proposed during 2001 and 2007. The previous permits concentrate on
localized shoaling within the residential neighborhoods of Deer Creek and do not encompass the complete
recreational navigable system. However, the current proposal stems from the previous maintenance
attempts and concentrates on minimizing potential dredging impacts. The previous dredging projects
allowed excavation to -4-ft Normal Water Level (NWL) and the current plan limits dredging to 4.5-11 (4

+0.5) MLW. Accounting for the elevation difference between NWL and MLW (0.17-ft), the current plan
extends the dredging depth approximately 0.67-ft below the previously authorized dimensions to provide a
minimal (0.5-ft) overdredge allowance and a 0.17-ft conversion to the NEW datum. The overdredge
allowance provides additional workspace for the contractor to help prevent excavation below the authorized
limits.
Sediment Composition
Sediment analysis results indicate silty and fine grain sands comprise a large percentage of Old Ferry
Channel and Deer Creek. As a result, the material most likely does not meet state standards for beach
placement as beneficial reuse. Tab I (Sediment Analysis) shows the complete sediment composition for the
samples collected for Old Ferry Channel and the Deer Creek system. For reference, Table 2 and Table 3
provide a summary of each dredge area and Figure 3 shows the sediment sample locations in planview.

Carteret County Shallow Draft Navigation Waterways
Old Ferry Channel and Deer Creek Maintenance Dredging
Project Narrative
Page 7 of 8
Table 2 and Table 3 indicate approximately 25% of the dredge material consists of silty sands. Although
the project did not evaluate a native beach for comparison, generally any site with greater than 10% fines
will not meet North Carolina state criteria for beach placement. Carteret County also understands the
financial burden and economic cost of transferring the dredge material via truck haul to a nearby beach,
assuming the material could satisfy the NC requirements for beneficial reuse placement. Therefore, Carteret
County refrained from exploring if the material would be appropriate as beneficial reuse based on the
sediment results and general knowledge of sand quality at the nearby beaches and overall cost implications.
Summary
Carteret County requests authorization to maintenance dredge.the Old Ferry Channel and the Deer Creek
waterways in efforts to enhance recreational navigation access for residents and visitors of Cape Carteret
and Emerald Isle. The proposed project will improve navigation access through the Old Ferry Channel to
the AIWW from both Cape Carteret and Emerald Isle. The Old Ferry Channel has served as a recreational
navigation throughway for both communities since the 1971 construction of the B. Cameron Langston
Bridge. The bridge construction reduced the need for a state operated ferry system to provide the primary
travel option between Emerald Isle and Cape Carteret. As the ferry system became less used, Old Ferry
Channel became a recreational asset for providing navigational access for local boaters in Cape Carteret
and Emerald Isle to the AIWW.
Old Ferry Channel extends approximately 6,7501f (1.3 miles) to connect Emerald Isle with Cape Carteret.
The waterway also crosses the AIWW in Bogue Sound to provide navigable access to deep -water. The
maintenance project will remove a maximum of approximately 9,675 CY from the Old Ferry Channel
alignment. The excavation will occur down to a maximum (deepest) elevation of -7-ft (-6+1) MLW over
an approximate 50-ft channel width. The Old Ferry Channel alignment narrows from the 50-ft width to 30-
ft at both the Emerald Isle and Cape Carteret terminus. The change in width occurs in response to slower
vessel speeds anticipated within the mooring areas and to help limit potential dredging impacts.
The proposed maintenance will help improve navigation depths through the residential community
adjoining the Deer Creek system. Deer Creek consist of four (4) branches extending from a connecting
channel that originates at the Old Ferry Channel. The complete Deer Creek system extends approximately
12,200 if (2.3 miles) and contains approximately 29,058 CY of shoaled material. Maintenance operations
will dredge to a maximum (deepest) elevation of -6-ft (-5+1) NEW in the main channels and -4.5-ft (-4
+0.5) ML W in the residential canal areas. The channel widths vary from 50-ft wide in the main channel
segments to 20-ft wide in the residential portions. The varying design dimensions stem from the vessel
traffic density anticipated within each navigable waterway.
Records indicate this will be the first documented maintenance event for Old Ferry Channel since the
original construction in 1961. However, portions of the Deer Creek system have incurred at least two (2)
prior maintenance events. The proposed action will be the first to encapsulate the full extents of the Deer
Creek system and will help provide a documented channel alignment for future maintenance events. Due
to available funding, actions remain unlikely to remove the complete dredge volume proposed for the
maintenance event. However, obtaining the necessary permits and authorizations under the current efforts
will assist the County in future maintenance operations by defining a channel alignment and operational
plan.
The sediment placement plan provides three (3) dredge material placement facilities. The dredge material
composition most likely falls below the necessary standards for beneficial reuse; and therefore, will be
placed in upland facilities. The proposed placement facilities cover approximately 2.2 acres and material
will not be placed higher than six (6) feet above pre -construction conditions in either site. Expectations

Carteret County Shallow Draft Navigation Waterways
Old Ferry Channel and Deer Creek Maintenance Dredging
Project Narrative Page 8 of 8
suggest the project will not remove a significantly greater volume than the available capacity can maintain.
However, if additional financial resources become available a greater volume may be removed. In this
event, material will be stockpiled for dewatering in the placement facilities and removed prior to raising
either site more than 6-ft above the existing elevations. Dewatered material will be truck hauled to a landfill
facility to create or restore capacity for the additional material. Material remaining in the placement
facilities will be smooth graded to discourage water ponding and will also be graded at a maximum slope -
of 3H-1 V for slope stability. Erosion control structures, such as silt fencing, biodegradable wattles, and
earthen berms, will be implemented and maintained until vegetation cover establishes enough to stabilize
the placed material.
The maintenance project will occur during the winter months of November 16'h through March 31".
Constricting the construction to this period will help reduce the potential for environmental impacts. The
dredging operations will also maintain a 10-ft buffer from wetland vegetation. Implementing the buffer will
help minimize the potential for the channel side slopes to erode the vegetation through tidal scour or boat
wake impacts. The County will also relocate potential oyster habitat in School House Creek, prior to
dredging activities occurring in the referenced waterway. These considerations coupled with the channel
design should provide a reasonable and environmentally acceptable enhancement to the navigation systems
within the Old Ferry Channel and Deer Creek systems.

Subject: CAMA Permit 105-20 (Carteret County)
Old Ferry Channel & Deer Creek Maintenance Dredging
Request for 15-Day Moratorium Relief
Dear Mr. Bodnar,
On behalf of Carteret County, please accept this correspondence as a request for a 15-day moratorium
relief to complete the maintenance dredging of Old Ferry Channel and Deer Creek in Cape Carteret.
In accordance with the CAMA permit 105-20, all dredging work must be completed by April 1" in
order to protect juvenile shrimp and finfish populations. Dredging beyond March 31" must first be
coordinated and approved by the appropriate resource agencies.
Carteret County has worked diligently over the past year to complete the Old Ferry Channel and Deer
Creek maintenance dredging prior to the April 1 moratorium deadline. The County and resource
agencies conducted significant coordination efforts to identify and protect submerged aquatic
vegetation (SAV) habitat and shellfish resources within the work area. These efforts have reduced the
potential for environmental impacts and have made the project beneficial to all stakeholders.
Construction efforts for the maintenance dredging initiated immediately upon permit issuance, which
occurred on November 5, 2020. Carteret County moved aggressively to solicit and construction
contractor prior to the end of November, once the permits were in -hand. T D Eure eventually secured
the construction contract on December 9, 2020. Mobilization efforts were completed by January 14`s
and the Contractor has worked seven (7) days per week, weather permitting, in efforts to complete
the work prior to April 1. However, a combination of construction logistics and inclement weather
has prevented project completion. Rainfall quantities for Morehead City indicate an excess of almost
5-inches above the February monthly average and exceeded February measurements documented
since 1999'.
Average production rates have increased from an estimated 189 cubic yards per day (CY/dy) through
February 27, 2021 to approximately 272 CY/dy estimated for March 2021. The increased production
and more favorable weather conditions suggest the project can be completed by April 15, 2021. As of
March 15, 2021, an estimated total of 15,372 CY have been removed from the project area. This leaves
approximately 9,222 CY remaining in the work area, of which only 80% (7,380 CY) would be
anticipated to be removed. Assuming the weather conditions and production rates maintain, the

Old Ferry Channel & Deer Creek Maintenance Dredging
Request for 15-day Moratorium Relief

project should be completed in approximately 27 days. Requesting an extension to April 15 provides
adequate time to complete the work.
Carteret County appreciates the Division of Coastal Management's efforts to date on this project and
the consideration for the requested moratorium relief. With the state's assistance, Carteret County has
been a leader in providing and maintaining navigational access to residents, small businesses, and
guests across their jurisdictional limits. The maintenance dredging of Old Ferry Channel and Deer
Creek helps maintain the County's level of service to the project stakeholders. In that regard, if there
are any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to contact myself or Doug Huggett at your

Gregg,
NCWRC has reviewed the applicant's request that included detailed information regarding the project's previous
progress, the need for an extension, and the construction schedule for the requested 15-day allowance. The inclusion of
the requested environmental information on the front end of the project, the implemented better management
practices, and the weather have all contributed to the delay in project completion. Therefore, due to the project's
progress and demonstrated conditions and measures, NCWRC does not object to a one-time extension of this project.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and provide comment. If there is anything additional, please let me know.

Gregg,
DMF has reviewed the moratorium relief request and associated progress reports for this project. Taking into
consideration the effort that was made to complete the work before the moratorium, the uncontrollable factors
impacting project completion, and the work that still needs to be completed, DMF does not oppose to this one-
time moratorium relief to allow the Old Ferry Channel and Deer Creek work to continue until April 15. DMF
would recommend that the work that needs to occur closest to known SAV be given priority, as the next
growing season will begin in April. Thanks Gregg!
