SUBJECT: COMMENTS & RECOMMENDATIONS - CAMA MAJOR PERMIT-BENJAMIN ANDERSON, LOT 57
MARINERS POINT, 1403 COVE COURT, MOREHEAD CITY, CARTERET COUNTY
The following are my comments and recommendations regarding the aforementioned proposal. The
proposal is for the construction of a bulkhead, 2-slip docking facility with a pier, 1-head platform, finger
piers and 2 boat lifts (2 slips). The water depths within the proposed slip areas are an. average of-2' nlw.
The proposed development is consistent with 15A NCAC 7H.0208. The Morehead City District office
recommends the project be authorized as proposed on plats dated received 2/4/2022 and 3/3/2022
contingent upon all applicable general conditions and the following standard conditions:
The pier, platform, finger and boatlift should not exceed a maximum distance of 242' waterward
of NHW and should not exceed a maximum of 30' from the coastal wetland edge/oyster bed
due to the water body width of 121' as well as the channel edge location.
No more than two slips (with lifts) are authorized.
Bulkhead shall be landward of any coastal or jurisdictional wetland areas. A 20' x 234' bulkhead
backfill area is authorized.

Division of Coastal ManagementTiiA
SUBJECT: Major Permit Request by Benjamin Anderson'ir'.' ,���u�
tuna'"�
DATE: March 29, 2022 C�
Consistency Determination: The request is consistent with/not in conflict with the Town of Morehead
City Land Use Plan certified by the CRC on September 28, 2007.
Please note that in coastal wetlands "only uses which are permitted by 15A NCAC 7H will be allowed"
per plan Policy 2, pg. 94.
Overview: The project is located at 1403 Cove Court (Lot 57) off of Oglesby Rd which is part of the existing
Mariners Point subdivision. The site is .46 acres (19,994sf) in its entirety and is an average of 2' above
NHW. Existing development includes roads, infrastructure, house, and driveway. The site is bordered by
Dill Creek to the east and north. The project is for a bulkhead, pier, platform, finger piers and two boatlifts.
Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC) in the project area include Estuarine Waters (EW), Coastal
Wetlands (CW) and Public Trust Areas (PTA). This section of Dill Creek is classified as SA/HQW, is a Primary
Nursery Area, and is closed to shellfishing. There are Coastal Wetlands present along the shore adjacent
to Dill Creek. The wetlands contain Smooth Coordgrass (Spartina altemiflora), and Salt Meadow Grass
(Spartina patens). There are also expanses of oyster beds within the waters of Dill Creek adjacent to the
proposed dock. The water depths in Dill Creek, according to the applicant, reach -2.6' NLW at the
waterward end of the proposed structure. Field work confirms -2' nlw. The substrate in this area is thick
organic mud.
Anticipated impacts: The proposed pier and bulkhead would incorporate 798 ft2 of high ground while
shading and incorporating 1,230ft2 of coastal wetlands and oyster beds. A total 498 ft2 of open water of
would be shaded and a total of 896 ft2 would be incorporated by the proposed docking facility. Oyster
beds containing healthy populations existing along the shoreline would be disturbed during the
construction process as well as temporary turbidity during piling placement. The Division of Land

Resources approved the Sedimentation and Erosion control plan (CARTE-2006-440) on 6/19/06 with the
DWQ Stormwater permit #SW8060625 issued on 7/12/06 for the existing s/d. Based on the determination
of the water body widths by the Division and the District, the structure should not cause a hindrance to
navigation due to the location of the existing oyster beds. The channel edge is located approximately 40'
from the edge of the coastal wetlands/oyster beds.
Basis for Determination: The project site is in the Town of Morehead City and is subject to the 2007 Town
of Morehead City Core Land Use Plan Update. The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designates the site as
"Low Density Residential" and "Conservation/Open Space" (due to the sites location in Coastal Wetlands,
Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area AECs).
The following LUP policies may be applicable to this request:
4.2.6 Areas of Environmental Concern
Policy 1, pg. 94: The Town of Morehead City supports state and federal law regarding land use and
development in AECs.
Policy 2, pg. 94: Morehead City considers coastal wetland areas to be valuable passive recreation areas.
These areas should be protected in their natural state. Only uses which are permitted by 15A NCAC 7H
will be allowed.
Policy 5, pg. 94: Morehead City supports the use standards for estuarine and public trust areas as
specified in 15A NCAC .0207.

Benjamin Anderson, Carteret County
DATE: 18 April 2022
Mir' SECTION MUM
A North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) Fisheries Resource Specialist has
reviewed the permit application for proposed actions that may impact fish and/or fish habitats.
The proposed project is located at 1403 Cove Court, Morehead City within Carteret County. The
applicant is proposing to install a new docking facility and sea wall. The proposed sea wall will
be approximately 280 linear feet (LF). The proposed docking facility includes a 6' by 285'
walkway, 12' by 12' "L" platform, 6' by 20' finger dock, 6' by 14' finger dock, and two 13' by
13' boat lifts. Water depths within the slip areas are -2.2' normal low water (NLW). Logging
mats will be used for access to support excavator. Crab Point Bay, which includes the project
location, is designated as Primary Nursery Area (PNA) and shellfish have been observed in the
project area.
DMF is concerned with the proposed project, primarily as it relates to impacts to waters
designated as PNA and to shellfish. Areas that are designated as PNA provide the (often very
specific) habitat requirements needed for post -larval development of a variety of recreationally,
commercially, and economically important fmfish and shellfish species. These areas provide
nursery, refuge, and foraging grounds for these species during some of the most critical and
vulnerable life history stages. As such, protection of these areas is of the utmost importance.
Installation of the proposed structure will likely result in increased turbidity during the
installation process, as well as during use of the structure. Increases in turbidity have the
potential to injure or kill species by clogging gills. The installation of the proposed structures
may also result in mortality of shellfish species by direct installation into shellfish beds.
DMF has concerns with the proposal and recommends that the following conditions be included
in any permit issued. The permit should include a 1 April through 30 September moratorium for
all in -water work associated with the project. This includes any aspect of the project that may
result in a disturbance to any portion of the water column and/or seafloor. Although no dredging
was proposed, the permit should be conditioned on no new dredging (i.e., for maintenance of slip
depth) being allowed in the future, as DMF is generally opposed to new dredging in PNA waters.
DMF would also recommend that sling -style lifts be used, as these tend to be less impactful to
the substrate (i.e., cause less turbidity during use). If sling -style lifts are not incorporated into the
project design, DMF recommends that the lifts include stops at 18 inches above the substrate to
State of North Carolina I Division of Marine Fisheries
3441 Arendell Street I P.O. Box 7691 Morehead City, North Carolina 28557

prevent vessels from being used during periods of very shallow water. The platform and finger
piers should also be prevented from being used as slips, such as by ensuring cleats are not
installed and including handrails along the outer edges.
It was unclear based on the site plans if any part of the proposed project would be located
directly over or in shellfish beds. DMF recommends relocation any shellfish that are located
where pilings or seawall would be installed. DMF would also recommend that the applicant
utilize a living shoreline rather than installing a sea wall. Living shorelines provide shoreline
stabilization while continuing to provide three-dimensional habitat, as opposed to the vertical
wall associated with the proposed structure. This would also minimize impacts to shellfish along
the shoreline, as they would not need to be relocated and would face less impacts associated with
increased turbidity. Additionally, living shorelines tend to be less expensive than sea walls,
providing some monetary relief to the applicant.
Thank you for consideration of our comments and concerns. Please contact Jimmy Harrison at
(252) 948-3835 or at iames.harrison(ancdenr.gov with any further questions or concerns.
