9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project is located at 9285 Peakwood Drive in Sunset Beach (ETJ), Brunswick County. Existing
structures on the 2-acre parcel including a single-family residence and an existing two -slip docking facility.
Based on DCM records, State Permit 130-03 was issued on 9/19/03 for a two -slip docking facility that included
a boathouse, floating dock, and gazebo. Modifications were made to reconfigure the docking facility into its
current design sometime prior to 2006, according to available satellite imagery, but no permit history can be
located for the modification.
The southeast -facing property is located on a high bluff parcel approximately 19' above normal high water
(NHW) and is vegetated with typical coastal -plain tree species. The property has approximately 125' of
shoreline frontage along the southern edge of the property and is stabilized with natural vegetation. 404-type
wetlands extend upland approximately 5 feet above Coastal Wetlands. Coastal Wetlands consisting primarily of
Smooth Cord Grass (Spartina alternii fora) and patches of Black Needlerush (Juncus romarianus spp) extend
waterward approximately 330' beyond the 404-type wetlands. The width of the waterbody measures
approximately 600' from marsh to marsh in the vicinity of the existing docking facility. DCM staff made a low -
tide site visit on 2/16/2022 and verified approximately -4.0' NLW on the landward side of the proposed docking
facility relocation (WiRO Image 1 of 3, WiRO Image 2 of 3).
The waters of the AIWW are classified SA by the Division of Water Quality and ARE designated as a Primary
Nursery Area (PNA) by the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries. They are CLOSED to the harvest of shellfish.
PROPOSED PROJECT
The applicant proposes to extend an existing 2-slip docking facility to the newly established pier head line at the
Federal Channel Setback to access deeper water along the AI W W in Sunset Beach.
The applicant proposes to attach a 6' x 31' access pier to the waterward end of the existing 4' x 14' open
platform. The proposed access pier would continue southeast, terminating at an I F x 19' gazebo. Waterward of
the proposed gazebo, a proposed 4' x 14' open platform would extend to the landward edge of the USACE
Federal Channel Setback (Approximately 200' from edge of marsh, Sheet 2 of 3). The two existing 13' x 13'
boatlifts (Slip 1 & Slip 2) would be relocated from an area of insufficient water (-0.48' NLW, Sheet 1 of 2) to
the cast and west of the proposed 1 P x 19' gazebo (Sheet 2 of 3). According to the applicant, relocating the two
boatlifts approximately 43' waterward of their existing location would provide sufficient water depths for access
throughout the tidal cycle (Approximately -4.0' NLW, Sheet 2 of 3).
The property has approximately 125 linear feet of shoreline and the proposed design appears to remain within
the applicant's area of riparian access; no waivers would be required for the proposed project however the
neighbor to the east did waive the riparian setback. The applicant's design extends waterward of the K width
limit, terminating at both the 1/3 width and the landward edge of the USACE Federal Channel Setback. The
applicant proposes to extend to the pier head line established between 9269 Peakwood Dr. SW (Variance
granted for State Permit 477-20) and 1324 Harbour Watch SW (State Permit # 23-13, WiRO Image 3 of 3). The
applicant states that extending the docking facility to the landward edge of the USACE Federal Channel Setback
would allow him to reach navigable water depths throughout the tidal range and minimize soft -bottom impacts
to the Primary Nursery Area (PNA). Water depths measured by DCM staff in the existing boatlift location
(Approximately 1/4 width ofwaterbody) ranged from -0.5' NLW to -1.0' NLW. Water depths takepoEQOVED

staff at the proposed boatlift location (Approximately 1/3 width of waterbody) ranged from 4.0' NLW to -5.0'
NLW. As proposed, the docking facility would extend approximately 199' from the edge of Coastal Wetlands to
approximately 33% of the waterbody width.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The proposed docking facility would result in the incorporation of approximately 808 square feet of Estuarine
Waters and Public Trust Area. As proposed, the docking facility would be located in an area with water depths
ranging from -4.0' NLW to -5.0' NLW within a Primary Nursery Area.
The proposed development would be located outside of the adjacent 15' riparian corridor setbacks on both sides
and would be constructed outside of the USACE Federal Channel Setback Extending the existing docking
facility to the 1/3 width of the waterbody would have negligible impacts on navigation since the shoreline
opposite from 9285 Peakwood Dr. SW consists entirely of Bird Island Reserve, owned by the State of North
Carolina and the pier would be between two other piers that already extend to the USACE Federal Channel
Setback. Turbidity associated with the piling installation would be kept to a minimum.

(Brunswick)
Spainhour Docking Facility
February 16, 2022
The applicant is proposing to relocate the water dependent structures of his docking
facility approximately 43' waterward. This proposal would relocate the 2 existing boatlifts just
landward of the USACE setback in the AIW W. A pier extension would be installed along with a
fixed platform (with partial roof coverage). The design would match the existing docking facility
shifted further waterward. The proposal includes a 14' x 12' fixed platform with an I F x 19' roof
(dripline dimensions). Approximately 4' x 14' on the waterward side of the platform will be
uncovered. Two 13' x 13' boat lifts would be installed on the sides of the fixed platform and a 6'
x 3l' extension of the pier would be built to access the fixed platform.
This area of the AIW W is shallow at low tide and the proposed extension would give
access to deep water. Current depths at low tide are approximately -0.48' and the extension
would give depths of approximately -3.98' at low tide. The applicant is proposing to match an
updated (accepted) pier headline installed at a neighboring pier under CAMA No. 77-20. This
proposal would extend the docking facility greater than % of the width of the waterbody but less
than 1 /3 of the width. The opposite side of the AIW W is a parcel owned by the State of North
Carolina so docking facilities will not be installed in this natural area. Navigation of the federally
maintained channel will not be affected as all work will be outside of the USACE setback.
The location and design of this project will decrease negative impacts to substrate and
water column during low tide by eliminating the potential for propeller dredging and increased
sedimentation. The proposal will not impact shellfish, SAV, or water quality. Some temporary
sedimentation will occur during installation.

The applicant is proposing to relocate the water dependent structures of his docking facility
approximately 43' waterward. This proposal would relocate the 2 existing boatlifts just landward of the
USACE setback in the AIW W. A pier extension would be installed along with a fixed platform (with
partial roof coverage). The design would match the existing docking facility shifted further waterward.
The proposal includes a Mix 12' fixed platform with an I F x 19' roof (dripline dimensions).
Approximately 4' x 14' on the waterward side of the platform will be uncovered. (2) 13' x 13' boat lifts
would be installed on the sides of the fixed platform and a 6' x 31' extension of the pier would be built
to access the fixed platform.

The projected deadline for making a decision is May 3b, 2022. An additional 75-day review period is provided by
law when such time is necessary to complete the review. If you have not been notified of a fmal action by the initial
deadline stated above, you should consider the review period edended. Under those circumstances, this letter will
serve as your notice of an extended review. However, an additional letter will be provided on or about the 75th day.
If this agency does not render a permit decision within 70 days from February 1711, 2022 you may request a meeting
with the Director of the Division of Coastal Management and permit staff to discuss the status of your project. Such
a meeting will be held within five working days from the receipt of your written request and shall include the

way fronting your property; or at a point along the road right-of-way where a private road would lead one into your
property. Failure to post this notice could result in an incomplete application.

Recommendations for State Permit- Snainhour Docking Facility Extension
The square footage of the proposed docking facility is calculated as follows:
Shoreline length=125ft. x 8 sq. ft. =1,000 sq. ft. allowable.
Existing:
Access Pier (From NHW) _ —450' x 51= 2,250 sq. ft. (Credit)
Gazebo (To remain) =19' x IV = 209 sq. ft.
Open Platform (To remain) = 4' x 14' = 56 sq. ft.
Fish Cleaning Station = 2.5' x 7.5' = 19
Total (Existing) = 284 sq. ft.
Proposed:
Access Pier Extension = 6' x 31' =186 sq. ft. (Credit)
Gazebo (New) =19' x 11' = 209 sq. ft.
Open Platform (New) = 4' x 14' = 56 sq. ft.
(2) Relocated Boatlifts =13' x 13' = 302 sq. ft. combined (Not Counted)
Fish Cleaning Station = 2.5' x 7.5' =19 sa. ft.
Total (proposed) = 284 sq. ft.
Total So. Ft. for Docking Facility = 568 sq. ft.
The proposed development would provide docking space for atotal oftwo (2) vessels. The proposed docking facility
would extend 199' beyond the marsh to the newly established pier head line between 9269 Peakwood Dr. SW and
1324 Harbour Watch SW. The proposed pier would extend to the edge of the USACE 80' Federal Channel Setback,
exceeding the'/4 width of the waterbody but not the 113rd width. This distance would be CONSISTENT with NCAC
07H .0208 (b)(6)(G) as well as the remaining use standards set forth in NCAC 07H .0208 (b)(6), including those
which dictate the maximum allowable platform area, the 15' riparian setback, and the Federal Channel Setback.

To: Cam Luck
From: Michael Christenbury, Wilmington District Planner
Subject: Consistency Determination, Major Permit Application, Rebecca and Larry
Spainhour, Sunset Beach, Brunswick County
Date: May 9, 2022
Consistency Determination:
This project is consistent with the Sunset Beach Land Use Plan Update.
The applicant proposes to extend an existing 2-slip docking facility to the newly
established pier head line at the Federal Channel Setback to access deeper water along the
AIWW. The project is located at 9285 Peakwood Drive in Sunset Beach, Brunswick
County.
Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC's) impacted by the proposal are EW and PTA.
Waters at the project site are classified as SA; HQW and are not open to the harvesting of
shellfish. The area is a Primary Nursery Area.
I have reviewed this proposal for consistency with the Town of Sunset Beach Land Use
Plan and offer the following comments.
The general area of the project is classified Residential, while the AECs impacted by the
work are classified as Mainland Residential.
In general, the Town of Sunset Beach allows development in Mainland Residential
classified AECs which is consistent with the State's minimum use standards. The Town
of Sunset Beach Land Use Plan contains some policies, which exceed the State's
minimum use standards. However, none of these standards appear to be applicable to this
proposal.
Provided all local, state and federal requirements can be met, this project appears to
be consistent with the Town of Sunset Beach Land Use Plan.

observation of the apparent shoreline, which is determined by reference to physical
markings, lines of vegetation, may be used for the purpose of this permit.
b. Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM): The line on the shore, in non-tidal waters,
established by the fluctuations of water indicated by physical characteristics such as
clear, natural line impressed on the bank; shelving changes in the soil; destruction of
terrestrial vegetation; the presence of litter and debris; or other appropriate means that
consider the characteristics of the surrounding areas.

Permittee to prevent the full and free use by the public of all navigable waters at or
adjacent to the authorized work for a reason other than safety.
f. The Permittee understands and agrees that, if future operations by the US require
the removal, relocation, or other alteration, of the structure or work herein authorized, or if,
in the opinion of the Secretary of the Army or his/her authorized representative, said
structure or work shall cause unreasonable obstruction to the free navigation of the
navigable waters, the Permittee will be required, upon due notice from the Corps of
Engineers, to remove, relocate, or alter the structural work or obstructions caused thereby,
without expense to the US. No claim shall be made against the US on account of any such
removal or alteration.
g. The Permittee, upon receipt of a notice of revocation of the permit for the verified
individual activity, may apply for an individual permit, or will, without expense to the US
and in such time and manner as the Secretary of the Army or his/her authorized
representative may direct, restore the affected water of the US to its former conditions.
h. This RGP does not authorize any activity that would conflict with a federal
project's congressionally authorized purposes, established limitations or restrictions, or
limit an agency's ability to conduct necessary operation and maintenance functions. Per
Section 14 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899, as amended (33 U.S.C. 408), no
project that has the potential to take possession of or make use of for any purpose, or
build upon, alter, deface, destroy, move, injure, or obstruct a federally constructed work
or project, including, but not limited to, levees, dams, jetties, navigation channels, borrow
areas, dredged material disposal sites, flood control projects, etc., shall be permitted
unless the project has been reviewed and approved by the appropriate Corps approval
authority. The Permittee must submit the information described in General Condition "y"
and obtain approval from the Wilmington District Engineer prior to the initiation of any
activity that has the potential to modify or conflict with a federally authorized project.
i. The Permittee shall obtain a Consent to Cross Government Easement from the
Wilmington District's Land Use Coordinator prior to any crossing of the Corps easement
and/or prior to commencing construction of any structures, authorized dredging or other
work within the right-of-way of, or in proximity to, a federally designated disposal area.
The Land Use Coordinator may be contacted at: CESAW-OP-N, 69 Darlington Avenue,
Wilmington, North Carolina 28403-1343, email: SA WWeb-NAV@usace.army.mil.

permitted or unpermitted activities or from natural causes.
(2) Damages to the permitted project or uses thereof as a result of current or
future activities undertaken by or on behalf of the US in the public interest.
(3) Damages to persons, property, or to other permitted or unpermitted activities
or structures caused by the activity authorized by this RGP.
(4) Design or construction deficiencies associated with the permitted work
(5) Damage claims associated with any future modification, suspension, or
revocation of this RGP.
o. Authorization provided by this RGP may be modified, suspended, or revoked in
whole or in part if the Wilmington District Engineer, acting for the Secretary of the
Army, determines that such action would be in the best public interest. The term of this
RGP shall be five (5) years unless subject to modification, suspension, or revocation.
Any modification, suspension or revocation of this authorization will not be the basis for
any claim for damages against the US Government.
p. No activity may occur in a component of the National Wild and Scenic River
System, or in a river officially designated by Congress as a "study river" for possible
inclusion in the system while the river is in an official study status, unless the appropriate
Federal agency with direct management responsibility for such river, has determined in
writing that the proposed activity will not adversely affect the Wild and Scenic
designation or study status. Information on Wild and Scenic Rivers may be obtained
from the appropriate Federal land management agency responsible for the designated
Wild and Scenic River or "study river" (e.g., National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service,
etc.)
q. This RGP does not authorize any activity within, or directly affecting, a marine
sanctuary established by the Secretary of Commerce under authority of Section 302 of
the Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act of 1972, unless the Permittee
provides the Corps with a certification from the Secretary of Commerce that the proposed
activity is consistent with the purposes of Title III of the Marine Protection, Research and
Sanctuaries Act. Information on marine sanctuaries may be obtained at
http://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/#MN. Permittees may not begin work until they provide the
Corps with a written certification from the Department of Commerce.
r. In cases where the Wilmington District Engineer determines that the activity may
affect properties listed, or eligible for listing, in the National Register of Historic Places and
its codified regulations, the National Historic Preservation Amendment Acts of 1980 and
1992, the Abandoned Shipwreck Act of 1987 and the Native American Graves Protection
and Repatriation Act, the activity is not authorized, until the requirements of Section 106 of
the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) have been satisfied. Permittees must submit
the information described in General Condition "y" to the Corps if any properties subject
to the above criteria may be affected by the proposed project. The Permittee may not
begin work until notified by the Corps that the requirements of the NHP A have been
satisfied and that the activity is authorized.
s. If you discover any previously unknown historic, cultural or archeological
remains and artifacts while accomplishing the activity authorized by this permit, you
must immediately notify the Wilmington District Engineer of what you have found, and
to the maximum extent practicable, avoid construction activities that may affect the
remains and artifacts until the required coordination has been completed. The
Wilmington District Engineer will initiate the Federal, tribal, and state coordination
required to determine if the items or remains warrant a recovery effort or if the site is
eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.
t. No activity is authorized under this RGP which is likely to directly or indirectly
jeopardize the continued existence of a threatened or endangered species or a species
proposed for such designation, as identified under the Federal Endangered Species Act
(ESA), or which will directly or indirectly destroy or adversely modify the critical habitat of
such species. No activity is authorized under any RGP which "may affect" a listed species or
critical habitat, unless Section 7 consultation addressing the effects of the proposed activity
has been completed*. Information on threatened and endangered species and their critical
habitat can be obtained directly from the Corps field offices, the USFWS field offices or
at the following web addresses: http://www.fws.gov/ or http://www.fws.gov/ipac/ or
http://www.noaa.gov/fisheries.html. Permittees must submit the information described in
General Condition "y" to the Corps if any listed species or designated critical habitat may
be affected by the proposed project. Permittees may not begin work until notified by the
Wilmington District Engineer that the requirements of the ESA have been satisfied and
that the activity is authorized.
*Note -Section 7 consultation has been completed for the West Indian Manatee and
if the activity may affect the manatee, the Permittee does not have to submit the
information in General Condition "y" to the District Engineer as long the Permittee
complies with General Condition "u". Section 7 consultation has been completed for the
Northern long-eared bat and the Permittee must submit the information described in
General Condition "y" to the District Engineer prior to commencing the activity if the
project meets the criteria in General Condition "v".
u. In order to further protect the endangered West Indian Manatee (Trichechus
manatus), the Permittee must implement the USFWS' Manatee Guidelines, and strictly
adhere to all requirements therein. The guidelines can be found at
https://www.fws.gov/raleigh/pdfs/ManateeGuidelines201 7 .pdf.
v. The Wilmington District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) has consulted
with the US Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) in regard to the threatened Northern
long-eared bat (NLEB) (Myotis septentrionalis) and Standard Local Operating
Procedures for Endangered Species (SLOPES) have been approved by the Corps and the
Service. This condition concerns effects to the NLEB only and does not address effects to
other federally listed species and/or to federally-designated critical habitat.
A. Procedures when the Corps is the lead federal* agency for a project:
The Permittee must comply with (1) and (2) below when:
• The project is located in the western 41 counties of North Carolina, to
include non-federal aid North Carolina Department of Transportation
(NCDOT) projects, OR;
• The project is located in the 59 eastern counties of North Carolina and is a
non-NCDOT project.
*Generally, if a project is located on private property or on non-federal land, and the
project is not being funded by a federal entity, the Corps will be the lead federal agency
due to the requirement to obtain Department of the Army authorization to impact waters
of the U.S. If the project is located on federal land, contact the Corps to determine the
lead federal agency.
(1) A Permittee using a RGP must check to see if their project is located in the
range of the NLEB by using the following website:
http ://www.fws.gov/midwest/ endangered/mammals/nleb/pdf/WNSZone.pdf. If the
project is within the range of the NLEB, or if the project includes percussive
activities (e.g., blasting, pile driving, etc.), the Permittee is then required to check
the appropriate website in the paragraph below to discover if their project:
• Is located in a 12-digit Hydrologic Unit Code area ("red HUC" -shown as
red areas on the map), AND/OR;
• Involves percussive activities within 0.25 mile of a red HUC.
Red HUC maps -for the western 41 counties in NC (covered by the Asheville Ecological
Services Field Office), check the project location against the electronic maps found at:
http://www.fws.gov/asheville/htmls/project review/NLEB in WNC.html. For the
eastern 59 counties in NC (covered by the Raleigh Ecological Services Field Office),
check the project location against the electronic maps found at:
https://www.fws.gov/raleigh/NLEB RFO.html.
(2) A Permittee must submit a pre-construction notification (PCN) to the district
engineer, and receive written authorization from the district engineer, prior to
commencing the activity, if the activity will involve either of the following:
• Tree clearing/removal, construction/installation of wind turbines in a red
HUC, AND/OR;
• Bridge removal or maintenance, unless the bridge has been inspected
and there is no evidence of bat use, ( applies anywhere in the range of the
NLEB), AND/OR:
• Percussive activities in a red HUC, or within 0.25 mile of a red HUC.
The Permittee may proceed with the activity without submitting a PCN to either
the Corps or the USFWS, provided the activity complies with all applicable RGP
terms and general and special conditions, and if the Permittee's review under A.(l)
and A.(2) above shows that the project is:
• Located outside of a red HUC (and there are no percussive activities),
and the activity will NOT include bridge removal or maintenance, unless the
bridge has been inspected and there is no evidence of bat use, OR;
• Located outside of a red HUC and there are percussive activities, but the
percussive activities will not occur within 0.25-mile of a red HUC boundary,
and the activity will NOT include bridge removal or maintenance, unless the
bridge has been inspected and there is no evidence of bat use, OR;
• Located in a red HUC, but the activity will NOT include tree
clearing/removal; construction/installation of wind turbines; bridge removal
or maintenance, unless the bridge has been inspected and there is no
evidence of bat use, and/or; any percussive activities.
B. Procedures when the Corps is not the lead federal agency:
For projects where another federal agency is the lead federal agency -if that other federal
agency has completed project-specific ESA Section 7(a)(2) consultation for the NLEB,
and has (1) determined that the project would not cause prohibited incidental take of the
NLEB, and (2) completed coordination/consultation that is required by the Service (per
the directions on the respective Service office's website), that project may proceed
without notification to either the Corps or the Service, provided all RGP general and
special conditions are met.
The NLEB SLOPES can be viewed on the Corps website at the following World Wide
Web Page: http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/Missions/Regulatory-Permit-
Program/Agency-Coordination/ESA/. Permittees who do not have internet access may
contact the Corps at (910) 251-4633.
w. The Wilmington District, USFWS, NCDOT, and the FHW A have
conducted programmatic Section 7(a)(2) consultation for a number of federally listed
species and habitat, and programmatic consultation concerning other federally listed
species and/or habitat may occur in the future. The result of completed programmatic
consultation is a Programmatic Biological Opinion (PBO) issued by the USFWS. These
PBOs contain mandatory terms and conditions to implement the reasonable and prudent
measures that are associated with "incidental take" of whichever species or critical
habitat is covered by a specific PBO. Authorization under this RGP is conditional upon
the permittee's compliance with all the mandatory terms and conditions associated with
incidental take of the applicable PBO (or PBOs), which are incorporated by reference in
this RGP. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions associated with incidental take
of an applicable PBO, where a take of the federally listed species occurs, would
constitute an unauthorized take by the permittee, and would also constitute permittee
non-compliance with the authorization under this RGP. If the terms and conditions of a
specific PBO (or PBOs) apply to a project, the Corps will include this/these requirements
in any RGP verification that may be issued for a project. The USFWS is the appropriate
authority to determine compliance with the terms and conditions of its PBO, and with the
ESA. All PBOs can be found on our website at:
https://www.saw.usace.army.mil/Missions/Regulatory-Permit-Program/Agency-
Coordination/ESA/
x. If the Permittee discovers or observes any live, damaged, injured or dead
individual of an endangered or threatened species during construction, the Permittee shall
immediately notify the Wilmington District Engineer so that required coordination can be
initiated with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and/or National Marine Fisheries
Service.
y. For activities that require approval from the Corps prior to initiating any work, the
Permittee must submit the following information to the appropriate Corps Regulatory
Field Office. You may apply online at https://edocs.deg.nc.gov/Forms/Pre-
Construction Notification Form.
1. Name, address, email and/or telephone number of the prospective Permittee.
2. Location of the proposed project, including waterbody, nearest community,
and county.
3. A detailed description of the proposed project, including applicable project
details such as width, height, length of structures or fills, piling span, distance
from the shoreline, type of materials, location of structure(s), and the amount
of proposed impact to waters and/or wetlands. The description must be
sufficiently detailed to allow the Wilmington District Engineer to determine
that the adverse effect of the project will be minimal and to determine the need
for compensatory mitigation. Project drawings must be provided when
necessary to show that the activity complies with the terms of the RGP.
(Drawings usually clarify the project and when provided results in a quicker
decision. Drawings must contain sufficient detail to provide an illustrative
description of the proposed activity (e.g., a conceptual plan), but do not need to
be detailed engineering plans).
z. Permittees are advised that development activities in or near a floodway may be
subject to the National Flood Insurance Program that prohibits any development,
including fill, within a floodway that results in any increase in base flood elevations.
This RGP does not authorize any activity prohibited by the National Flood Insurance
Program.
aa. The Permittee must install and maintain, at his/her expense, any signal lights and
signals prescribed by the U.S. Coast Guard, through regulations or otherwise, on
authorized facilities. For further information, the Permittee should contact Coast Guard
Sector North Carolina at (910) 772-2191 or email Coast Guard Fifth District at
cgd5waterways@uscg.mil.
bb. The Permittee must maintain any structure or work authorized by this permit in
good condition and in conformance with the terms and conditions of this permit. The
Permittee is not relieved of this requirement if the Permittee abandons the structure or
work. Transfer in fee simple of the work authorized by this permit will automatically
transfer this permit to the property's new owner, with all of the rights and responsibilities
enumerated herein. The Permittee must inform any subsequent owner of all activities
undertaken under the authority of this permit and provide the subsequent owner with a
copy of the terms and conditions of this permit.
cc. At his sole discretion, any time during the processing cycle, the Wilmington
District Engineer may determine that this RGP will not be applicable to a specific
proposal. In such case, the procedures for processing an individual permit in accordance
with 33 CFR 325 will be available.
dd. Except as authorized by this RGP or any Corps approved modification to this
RGP, all fill material placed in waters or wetlands shall be generated from an upland
source and will be clean and free of any pollutants except in trace quantities. Metal
products, organic materials (including debris from land clearing activities), or unsightly
debris will not be used.
ee. Except as authorized by this RGP or any Corps approved modification to this
RGP, all excavated material will be disposed of in approved upland disposal areas.
ff. Activities which have commenced (i.e., are under construction) or are under
contract to commence in reliance upon this RGP will remain authorized provided the
activity is completed within twelve months of the date of the RGP's expiration,
modification, or revocation. Activities completed under the authorization of this RGP
that were in effect at the time the activity was completed continue to be authorized by the
RGP.

GUIDELINES FOR AVOIDING IMPACTS TO THE WEST INDIAN MANATEE
Precautionary Measures for Construction Activities in North Carolina Waters
The West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus), also known as the Florida manatee, is a Federally-listed
endangered aquatic mammal protected under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.) and the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as amended (16 U.S.C 1461 et seq.). The
manatee is also listed as endangered under the North Carolina Endangered Species Act of 1987 (Article
25 of Chapter 113 of the General Statutes). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is the lead
Federal agency responsible for the protection and recovery of the West Indian manatee under the
provisions of the Endangered Species Act.
Adult manatees average 10 feet long and weigh about 2,200 pounds, although some individuals have been
recorded at lengths greater than 13 feet and weighing as much as 3,500 pounds. Manatees are commonly
found in fresh, brackish, or marine water habitats, including shallow coastal bays, lagoons, estuaries, and
inland rivers of varying salinity extremes. Manatees spend much of their time underwater or partly
submerged, making them difficult to detect even in shallow water. While the manatee’s principal
stronghold in the United States is Florida, the species is considered a seasonal inhabitant of North
Carolina with most occurrences reported from June through October.
To protect manatees in North Carolina, the Service’s Raleigh Field Office has prepared precautionary
measures for general construction activities in waters used by the species. Implementation of these
measures will allow in-water projects which do not require blasting to proceed without adverse impacts to
manatees. In addition, inclusion of these guidelines as conservation measures in a Biological Assessment
or Biological Evaluation, or as part of the determination of impacts on the manatee in an environmental
document prepared pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act, will expedite the Service’s review
of the document for the fulfillment of requirements under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act.
These measures include:
1 The project manager and/or contractor will inform all personnel associated with the project that
manatees may be present in the project area, and the need to avoid any harm to these endangered
mammals. The project manager will ensure that all construction personnel know the general appearance
of the species and their habit of moving about completely or partially submerged in shallow water. All
construction personnel will be informed that they are responsible for observing water-related activities for
the presence of manatees.
2. The project manager and/or the contractor will advise all construction personnel that there are civil and
criminal penalties for harming, harassing, or killing manatees which are protected under the Marine
Mammal Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act.
2
3. If a manatee is seen within 100 yards of the active construction and/or dredging operation or vessel
movement, all appropriate precautions will be implemented to ensure protection of the manatee. These
precautions will include the immediate shutdown of moving equipment if a manatee comes within 50 feet
of the operational area of the equipment. Activities will not resume until the manatee has departed the
project area on its own volition (i.e., it may not be herded or harassed from the area).
4. Any collision with and/or injury to a manatee will be reported immediately. The report must be made
to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (ph. 919-856-4520), the National Marine Fisheries Service (ph. 252-
728-8762), and the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (ph. 252-448-1546).
5. A sign will be posted in all vessels associated with the project where it is clearly visible to the vessel
operator. The sign should state:
CAUTION: The endangered manatee may occur in these waters during the warmer months,
primarily from June through October. Idle speed is required if operating this vessel in shallow
water during these months. All equipment must be shut down if a manatee comes within 50 feet
of the vessel or operating equipment. A collision with and/or injury to the manatee must be
reported immediately to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (919-856-4520), the National Marine
Fisheries Service (252-728-8762), and the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (252-
448-1546).
6. The contractor will maintain a log detailing sightings, collisions, and/or injuries to manatees during
project activities. Upon completion of the action, the project manager will prepare a report which
summarizes all information on manatees encountered and submit the report to the Service’s Raleigh Field
Office.
7. All vessels associated with the construction project will operate at “no wake/idle” speeds at all times
while in water where the draft of the vessel provides less than a four foot clearance from the bottom. All
vessels will follow routes of deep water whenever possible.
8. If siltation barriers must be placed in shallow water, these barriers will be: (a) made of material in
which manatees cannot become entangled; (b) secured in a manner that they cannot break free and
entangle manatees; and, (c) regularly monitored to ensure that manatees have not become entangled.
Barriers will be placed in a manner to allow manatees entry to or exit from essential habitat.

Figure 1. The whole body of the West Indian manatee may be visible in clear water; but in the dark and
muddy waters of coastal North Carolina, one normally sees only a small part of the head when the
manatee raises its nose to breathe.
