PROJECT SUMMARY: The Wildlife Resources Commission is requesting a programmatic permit to allow the installation of new pilings and buoys and the replacement of existing pilings and associated with Aids to Navigation, hazardous areas, no wake zones and information signs. Field Investigation Report: Wildlife Resources Commission Page 02 9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC) is responsible for maintaining floating buoys and pilings marking navigational corridors, hazardous areas and no -wake zones throughout the 20 coastal counties of North Carolina. The statewide program consists of 1634 markers and 692 buoys and is referred to as the ATON's program. In the past, the WRC would apply to DCM for a CAMA permit for replacement. Depending on the size of the project and the number of pilings or buoys necessary, the Division would process the request through either the Major Permit process or consider it to be repair/replacement of an existing structure. Due to the number of pilings and buoys requiring maintenance, DCM and WRC are working to establish a programmatic process that allows for the streamlining of approval of projects. The current process of the Wildlife Resources Commission for approving and maintaining new and existing buoys and pilings is provided in the project narrative provided as part of this application. 10. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: In the case of buoys, the buoys are brought to the location by boat and placed at the designated location. The buoys are anchored by concrete blocks. In the case of pilings, the work is performed by a contractor and the pilings are installed by vibratory hammer. The No Wake Buoys would be of Standard NCWRC size and markings and would be placed in open water areas with no impacts to Coastal Wetlands. The placement of the buoys and associated anchors should pose no environmental impact. 11. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The impacts associated with the various projects will be minimal and limited to the impacts associated with the placement of pilings and concrete anchoring systems.

Markers fall into 3 categories: No Wake Zone Markers, Channel Markers, and Hazard Markers. Markers can be either floating or mounted on a piling. Following interagency coordination with NCDMC and other regulatory agencies, NCWRC proposes a Programmatic CAMA Major Permit to operate its ATONs program in the 20 coastal counties. Marker Categories: 1. No Wake Zone Markers a. State rule 15A NCAC 10E.0104(d) establishes a No Wake Zone within 50 yards of an NCWRC public boating access area. A floating NWZ buoy is placed at the end of every NCWRC boat ramp to enhance safety for the boating public. b. State statute NCGS 75A-15 gives NCWRC authority to establish No Wake Zones through rule -making. As part of the rule -making process, USACE-Navigation in Wilmington, NC is consulted for each individual No Wake Zone and USACE must concur on each No Wake Zone before the Commission can approve It. NCWRC established No Wake Zones on a basis of safety evaluation by Enforcement Officers. NCWRC proposes to place No Wake Zone markers at previously -established and newly -established No Wake Zones to enhance safety for the boating public. c. The local government or entity that requests a No Wake Zone through NCWRC rule making has financial responsibility to install the associated No Wake Zone Markers. d. NCWRC has maintenance responsibility of all No Wake Zone buoys. 2. Channel Markers a. Channel markers are placed to mark navigable channels from NCWRC public boat ramps Into deep/open waters. These are also commonly referred to as red/green pairs. b. NC's 20 coastal counties include a variety of water bodies, ranging from the ICW to shallow marsh creeks. Different types and sizes of vessels are expected to access different water bodies, therefore target depths are site -specific. In some shallow, smaller bodies a minimum target depth may be as low as 2.5' (at normal low water). In large, deeper water bodies a minimum target depth may be as low as 3.5' (at low tide). c. Channel markers are placed at channel bends and at intervals (typically -500 yards) along straight channel sections that provide clear navigation to the boating public. NCWRC aims to minimize channel markers as each one requires semi-annual maintenance and inspections. d. Some navigation channels are naturally -occurring and no dredging is required. The channels may still warrant channel markers when they are not centered in a waterI eD IN 10 2020 DCM-MND CITY or are not aligned directly from the ramp to open water. NCWRC proposes to place channel markers as determined necessary in naturally occurring channels to provide safe navigation for the boating public. e. Some navigation channels are created and maintained by dredging. Both new and maintenance dredging require CAMA Permits. NCWRC proposes to place channel markers to mark dredged channels to provide safe navigation for the boating public. f. The majority of channels marked by NCWRC are associated with navigation to and from specific public boating access areas. However, there are a few locations where NCWRC marks general public navigation channels when it is evaluated by agency staff that it will benefit public safety. 3. Hazard Markers a. Hazard markers are placed to alert the boating public to submerged hazards. b. There is no minimum depth requirement for a Hazard marker as it is intended to prevent boat traffic in the vicinity. c. Hazards are identified by multiple sources including citizens, local governments, and NCWRC staff. Hazards reports are evaluated based on public safety by NCWRC staff before a Hazard Marker is placed. Marker Types 1. Floating a. Floating markers are the preferred type of marker by NCWRC and are used in all locations where conditions allow. b. Floating markers are anchored by concrete blocks. c. Floating markers can be attached to concrete blocks by either chain or coated cable. Connector length is 3 times the water depth. d. Floating Buoys w/ collar base: "One Mile Buoys" and "Half Mile Buoys" i. This type is used for No Wake Zones, Channel Markers, Hazards. NCWRC Field staff determine buoy type based on site -specific conditions. ii. "One Mile Buoy" Collar base is 38" diameter. Can is 19" diameter. Height is 36" above water level. Roylan Buoy product #BSNPRSW or equivalent. III. "Half Mile Buoy" Collar base is 30" diameter. Can is 14" diameter. Height is 28" above water level. Roylan Buoy Models #428SWP (No Wake Zone), #B1428SWG (green channel marker), #B1428NSW (red channel marker), and #81428SWP (Danger) or equivalents. e. Floating Buoys w/out collar base: "Pencil Buoy" i. This type is used for No Wake Zones, Channel Markers, Hazards. NCWRC Field staff determine buoy type based on site -specific conditions. H. "Pencil Buoy" 9" Diameter. Height is 36" above water. Roylan Buoy models #81 147DG (Danger), #147NW (No Wake), #147R (red channel marker), and #14811 (green channel marker), or equivalent. RECEIVED 'JUR 10 2020 DCM-MHD CITY 2. Pile -Mounted a. Pile -mounted markers consist of a sign mounted to a pile. They are used in locations where conditions are not well -suited for floating markers. b. Typical sign size is 4'x4'. c. Typical pile is 8"-diameter timber pile. d. Sign is typically mounted to provide 10'vertical clearance between bottom of sign and high tide level. e. Pile length, and minimum embedment is site -specific. f. NCWRC Regional Supervisors may determine that Individual site conditions warrant geometry that differs from typical details. NCWRC Agency Standards 1. Purchasing and Manufacturing a. Floating markers are purchased ion state contract through NCWRC's Wildlife Inmate Services (WISe) program following State Purchasing requirements. Exact manufacturer and models may change each time the contract is re -bid. b. Pile -Mounted marker signs are manufactured at NCWRC's WISe facility. i. NCWRC utilizes Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's guidance document Guidelines for Posting Uniform Water Markers in Florida's Waterways in making site -specific ATONs decisions for any custom needs. 2. Habitat Conservation Consultation a. All NCWRC projects, including ATONs, go through an internal consultation with Conservation Biologists, prior to work beginning. b. Internal consultations by Conservation Biologists include data such as nearby shellfish areas and any applicable in -water moratoriums on pile driving. 3. Installation a. Floating markers at boat ramps, hazards, and navigation channels are installed by NCWRC technician crews using a motorboat. b. NCWRC consults internally with its Habitat Conservation biologists to determine if a moratorium exists on pile -driving activities at each location. c. Pile -Mounted markers maybe installed by either NCWRC technician crews or a contractor. I. All work requiring a barge will be performed by a contractor ii. NCWRC crews can only install piles that can reached by an excavator from dry land. All equipment will be operated on mats. d. Installation of new No Wake Zone markers is the responsibility of the local government or entity that requested the No Wake Zone. Each entity, acting as NCWRC's agent, determines the appropriate installation method and if installation shall be performed by their internal staff or a contractor. e. Installation of NCWRC's typical ATONs do not result in any fill in the water body. Rec . D Page 3 JUN 10 2020 DCM-MHD CITY f. NCWRC typically installs ATONs markers in open water with no impacts to wetlands and without equipment crossing wetlands. Any markers that needs to be installed in a marsh or that would require equipment to cross a marsh for installation will require an additional consultation with DCM prior to installation. NCWRC's No Wake Zone coordinator will add standard language to the No Wake Zone request process for local governments or other requesting entities alerting them to that requirement. 4. Maintenance and Inspections a. NCWRC maintains a database of all NCWRC-owned ATONs that includes gps locations of each marker b. NCWRC technician crews inspect all ATONs twice a year. S. Reporting a. NCWRC's GIS Program maintains a location and conditions database on all NCWRC- owned marks. The database is updated continuously as inspections occur. b. NCWRC's GIS Program provides its ATONs database the US Coast Guard Auxiliary on an annual basis in spreadsheet format. c. NCWRCs GIS Program converts its ATONs database to a Google Earth kmz file at a minimum of once year. Updates are also made on an as -requested basis. d. NCWRC Proposes to provide its ATONs database to DCM on an annual basis as a concurrent step with US Coast Guard updates.
