This office supports the recommendations of the resource agencies, particularly the NC Division of Marine Fisheries, regarding potential impacts to shallow bottom. Should concerns be expressed over potential impacts from any of the resource agencies, the project could then be found to be inconsistent with NCAC 07H .0208(a)(2), which requires that the location, design and need be consistent with the management objective of the Estuarine System AEC and the project be sited and designed to avoid significant adverse impacts upon the productivity and biological integrity of spawning and nursery areas. It appears that the project is CONSISTENT with the use standards set forth in NCAC 07H ,0208(b)(6), including the eight - square foot rule and the pier width rule. This office has no objection to the proposed work, provided it is consistent with all other local, state, and federal permitting requirements. Any permit issued should include standard conditions for private docking facilities. RECEIVED MAR 15 2022 DCM-MHD CITY ROY COOPER Governor ELUMETH S.

B1SER Secretary KATHY B. RAWLS Director MEMORANDUM: TO: Cameron Luck, Assistant Major Permits Coordinator FROM: Kimberlee Harding, NCDMF Fisheries Resource Specialist SUBJECT: 2016 / 2020 Deep Creek Run Docking Facilities DATE: June 06, 2022 A North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) Fisheries Resource Specialist has reviewed the CAMA Permit application for proposed actions that impact fish and fish habitats. The applicant proposes to construct a new vinyl bulkhead style retaining wall, stone landscape wall on the high ground, three new private docking facilities, each with a gazebo, floating dock, and boatlift, and a new dredge footprint to connect the docking facilities to deeper water. A total of six slips are proposed, two slips for each of the three sub -divided riparian parcels. The waters of Middle Sound/AIWW are classified SA-ORW by the Division of Water Resources and are not designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries. They are open to the harvest of shellfish. On April 29, 2022, representatives from DMF, DWR and DCM conducted a site visit to verify water depths and conduct a submerged aquatic vegetation survey (SAV). Water depths were found to be consistent with the proposal design and no SAV were found in the project area. The project site is located within Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW), near areas of mapped SAV and is considered suitable SAV and shellfish habitat. The EMC classification of ORW recognizes specific surface waters that are of especially high quality. The ORW designation indicates areas that are "the best of the best" and seeks to retain those exceptional qualities. Shallow soft bottom is an important foraging habitat for juvenile and adult fish and invertebrates, and aids in storing and cycling of sediment, nutrients, and toxins between the bottom and water column. Soft bottom habitat is used to some extent by most native coastal fish species in North Carolina. The habitat is particularly productive and, by providing refuge from predators, is an important nursery area. Species dependent on shallow soft bottom include clams, crabs, flounder, spot, Atlantic croaker, sea mullet, and rays (Deaton et al. 2010). The six proposed boat lifts and associated floating docks are sited in 18"-2' NWL. The Division recommends a minimum of 2' NWL water depth measured from the substrate for floating structures in designated or critical resource areas. Therefore, the 99&VED JUN 0 82022 State of North Carolina I Divlslon of Marine Flsheries MP SECTION 3441 Arerndell Street I P.O. Box 769I Morehead City, North Catalina 28557 DCM MHD Cn 252-726-7021 recommends physical stops be installed on the floating docks and limit switches installed on the boat lifts for 2' above the substrate. The proposal also includes a large dredge component surrounding the entire three pier project area contacting the boat lifts to 3' NWL water. The Division has concerns about the large amount, 7,014 ft2, of important SAV habitat, shellfish habitat and shallow bottom habitat being proposed for excavation. Water depths under the proposed boatlifts were verified approximately 2' NWL, therefore, the Division has determined the proposed excavation of shallow soft bottom, that includes SAV habitat, and shellfish habitat is not justified by the applicants need and purpose. Thank you for consideration of our comments. Please contact Kimberlee Harding at 910- 796-7286 or at kimberlee.harding(Oncdenr.eov with any further questions or concerns.

Dunn, Coastal Coordinator Habitat Conservation Division Mp SECTION DCM MHD CITY DATE: June 14, 2022 SUBJECT: CAMA Dredge/Fill Permit Application for DJM-NC, LLC, New Hanover County, North Carolina. Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) reviewed the permit application with regard to impacts on fish and wildlife resources. The project site is located at 1970 Deep Creek Run adjacent the AIW W in Wilmington, NC. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Coastal Area Management Act (G.S. 113A-100 through 113A-128), as amended, Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act, as amended, the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.), the Magnuson -Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (FCMA), as amended (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. 703-712 et seq.). The applicant proposes to construct a new 435' vinyl retaining wall waterward Section 404 wetlands and six slips consisting of 2-slip docking facilities for each riparian lot. Each structure would consist of a 6' wide pier, a terminal 16' by 16' gazebo, an 8' by 16' floating dock positioned perpendicular to shore, and a boat lift within one slip. The length of the piers would be 221', 224', and 190'. Water depths submitted by the applicant in the vicinity of the slips ranged from 16" to 36" NLW. The applicant proposes to dredge a new 42' by 167 by -3' NLW. Approximately 390 CY of material would be removed and placed in an approved upland spoil location. Middle Sound and the AIW W are classified SA-ORW by the Environmental Management Commission and are open to shellfish harvesting. The NCWRC has consulted with the NC Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF) after their site visit with the NC Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) and NC Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM) to determine presence of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV). Water depths during the site visit were found to be consistent with those presented in the permit application and the physical presence of SAV was not Mailing Address: Habitat Conservation • 1721 Mail Service Center • Raleigh, NC 27699-1721 Telephone: (919) 707-0220 • Fax: (919) 707-0028 1-,C", .) . "n (,I , " Page 2 within the project area. However, the project is near areas of mapped SAV, is considered suitable habitat for SAV and shellfish, and is classified as Outstanding Resource Waters. All of these are important aquatic habitats and should be conserved to the greatest extent possible. The NCWRC does not generally object to slips proposed in water depths of -2' NLW. This depth has been observed to be sufficient to allow vessels of the size that would use the proposed slips ingress and egress over substate and SAV without causing chronic disturbance to either habitat. We do request that floating structures be sited in water depths of -2' NLW or include stops or measures to ensure the structure does not sit on the substrate during low tide events. These stops would be installed at the -18" depth to allow adequate space between the structure and the sediment. Water depths within the proposed slip area were observed to be -2' NLW during the NCDCM site visit as well as during the multiagency site visit Since this depth is considered adequate by our agency for slips, we believe avoidance and minimization of impacts to important habitat areas could be demonstrated with the removal of the dredge proposal. If the applicant would want to ensure vessels docked within the slips did not rest on substrate and be protected from vessel traffic, lifts could be installed in each of the six proposed slips rather than just three. The NCWRC would have no objection with increasing the number of lifts to match the number of slips and would view this as minimization measure. We appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on this permit application.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project site is located at 1970 Deep Creek Run adjacent to Middle Sound, near the City of Wilmington, New Hanover County. The project site can be located from NC HWY 17 (Market Street) by traveling north on Market Street to Middle Sound Loop Road. Turn right onto Middle Sound Loop Road and proceed through the traffic circle at Ogden Elementary and continue to travel north approximately 1.8 miles until you reach Mason Landing Road. Turn left onto Mason Landing Road unfit you reach Deep Creek Run, which will be located on the right. Turn right onto Deep Creek Run until you reach the property of interest. The project site totals approximately 5.24 acres in size and was maintained as a single-family residence. The parcel sold in 2020 and has been subdivided into 5 lots, 3 of which are riparian and are included in this application. Adjacent properties to the north and south are single-family home sites. The elevation of the subject property ranges from 2' — 27' above normal high water (NHW) with approximately 194' of shoreline. The highground vegetation includes a mix of hardwood trees including oaks, lawn grasses, and ornamentals such as pampas grass and elephant ears. The property slopes steeply down toward the water and on the northern side of the slope there appears to be groundwater seeps that have created a stream -like wetland area dominated by Phragmites australis, and Scirpus sp. that flows into the marsh. Waterward of the steep sloped highground are other pockets of §404 wetland that meet Coastal Wetland and pieces of a remnant bulkhead. The §404 / Coastal Wetland transition is dominated by lawn grasses from the former resident, pennywort (Hydrocotyle sp.), sea ox-eye (Borrichis frutescens), and salt meadow grass (Spartina patens). The transitional high marsh descends into low marsh dominated by smooth cordgrass (Spartina altemiflora) and sea lavender (Limonium sp.) into an open water slough approximately 57' in width fringed in low marsh, The east side of the slough rises back up to a narrow strip of highground that runs roughly parallel with the shoreline and then descends to designated Outstanding Resource Waters of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW). Then; is approximately 194' of shoreline associated with 1970 Deep Creek Run. No permit history was found for the subject property. The current New Hanover County Land Use Plan classifies the adjacent waters as Conservation, and the adjacent high ground portion of the project area as Residential. The waters of Middle Sound/AIWW are classified SA-ORW by the Division of Water Resources and are NOT designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries, They are OPEN to the harvest of shellfish. PROPOSED PROJECT: The applicant proposes to construct a new vinyl bulkhead style retaining wall, stone landscape wall on the highground, three new private docking facilities, each with a gazebo, floating dock, and boatlift, and a new dredge footprint to connect the docking facilities to deeper water. A total of 6 slips are proposed, 2 slips for each of the three sub -divided riparian parcels. As of the date of this field report the parcel subdivision has been completed by New Hanover County. As referenced in the drawings the new parcels are labeled from south to north: Lot 1, Lot 2, and Lot 3. According to the applicant the proposed retaining wall would be approximately 435' in length with a 10' retum wall on the southern end, constructed in a similar fashion to a bulkhead, positioned just landward of the delineated §404 wetland line using vinyl sheets. The applicant proposes to also construct a 181' long stone landscape wall that would connect to the northern end of the retaining wall and would be positioned on the landward side of the delineated §404 wetland line on Lot 3 (see Sheet 4 of 6). A 2-slip docking facility is proposed for each riparian lot consisting of a 6' wide pier, a terminal 16' by 16' gazebo, an 8' by 16' floating dock positioned perpendicularto the shoreline, with a boatlift in one of the slips. The length of the proposed structure located below NHW (located waterward of the slough area) vary between each lot but are approximately 221' in length for Lot 1, 224' in length for Lot 2, and 190' in length for Lot 3. The proposed boatlifts for Lots 1 and 3 would encroach into the 15' riparian setback of Lot 2. The drawing labeled Sheet 4 of 7 was scaled off of the surrey and shows Lot 1 has approximately 59' of shoreline with a 48' wide riparian corridor. Lot 2 has approximately 80' of shoreline with a 75' wide riparian corridor and Lot 3 has approximately 55' of shoreline with a 50' wide corridor. No encroachment into adjacent neighboring parcels is anticipated. RECEIVED MAR 15 2022 DCM-MHD CITY DJM-NC, LLC Page 3 The water depths on the drawings submitted by the applicant in the vicinity of the proposed slips range from 16" to 3' normal low water (NLW). The applicant proposes to dredge a new boat basin measuring approximately 42' in width by 167' in length to -3' NLW (see Sheet 5 of 6). The applicant estimates approximately 390 cubic yards (CY) of shallow bottom would be removed and states that the spoil disposal location would be determined by the dredge contractor and approved by the Division of Coastal Management (DCM) prior to work commencing if permitted. The water depths measured during the September 16, 2021 site visit ranged from 3' to 2' in the vicinity of the proposed floating docks at an approximate 0.4 low tide. An objection from the adjacent riparian property owner, the Honorable Donald van der Vaart at 1827 Register Lane was received on September 9, 2021 through hired council, Cranfill Sumner, LLP and will be attached to the permit application. The proposed docking facilities would extend approximately 170',163', and 147' for lots 1,2, and 3 respectively; slightly exceeding the %width rule at Lot 1, which, in this location is approximately 164' for the 655' wide water body, however the proposed floating docks would be positioned at the pier head -line between two longer docking facilities. 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The proposed new 435' retaining wall would be constructed landward of any §404 or coastal wetlands and would be installed like a bulkhead, disturbing an area of highground approximately 20' landward of the proposed wall location for the installation of tie -backs. The private docking facilities proposed would incorporate approximately 4,680 ft2 of open water Public Trust Area. The plans indicate that a maximum of 3,060 ft2 of Coastal Wetlands and 2,532 ft2 of §404 wetlands would be shaded. The water depths measured during the DCM site visit on September 16, 2021, were approximately at the -2' NLW contour. If the applicant chooses to pursue excavation the proposed dredge footprint would impact 7,014 ft? of shallow bottom and 10,530 ft2 of highground if the approximate 390 CY are spread 1' thick, Minor increases in turbidity should be expected during construction.

Dear Ms. MacPherson: We represent the Honorable Donald van der Vaart and Sandy van der Vaart. We write to respectfully object to a proposed development by DJ1VI-NC, LLC at 1970, 2016 and 2020 Deep Creek Run, Wilmington. The van der Vaarts own the residential property at 1827 Register Ln., Wilmington, and have standing to object as the contiguous owners to the proposed development who are unrelated to the developer. The van der Vaarts object to the proposed development on various grounds. Among other reasons, the van der Vaarts object because the currently -proposed development should be considered by the Division and Department of Environmental Quality alongside this applicant's prior work which includes moving a bulkhead and dredging in apparent preparation for this project. When considered in their entirety, these projects constitute a significant upheaval to the existing shoreline. The van der Vaarts object to the extent the cumulative effects of the applicant's work are inconsistent with legislative and regulatory protections of the same. Further environmental impact studies are necessary prior to project approval and permitting. The van der Vaarts also object because the applicant proposes 40-foot private docks when adjacent landowners were otherwise restricted to 24-foot community docks. The van der Vaarts also object to the proposed project's failure to consider or provide for docking vessels' offshore sewage discharge and the likelihood for such milawful discharge into the AIWW.

The existing property is to be subdivided into 3 separate waterfront lots each with its own docking facility. As proposed, each pier will be 6' in width and varying lengths (Lot 1 = 410', Lot 2 = 457' and Lot 3 = 53 l') at the terminal end of each pier will be a 16' x 16' covered platform. Waterward of the platforms will be an 8' x 16' floating dock, each with a 14' x 14' boatlift on one side creating a 2-slip docking facility for each lot. As proposed, the structures will slightly exceed the '/4 width of the waterbody limitation which is 164' since the width of the waterbody measures 655' in this location however, they will not exceed the adjacent pierhead line and will not encroach into the adjacent 15' riparian corridor setbacks. A new 435'long vinyl retaining wall with a 10' long return wall, constructed like a bulkhead will be installed just landward of the 404 Wetlands.

Indicate Which of the Followine Apply: A. Preliminary Determination ® There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/propetty, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The waters, including wetlands have been delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate and reliable. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated 9/28/2021. Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation requirements, and other resource protection measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that would be affected in any way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary determination is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However, you may request an approved JD, which is an appealable action, by contacting the Corps district for further instruction. ❑ There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). However, since the waters, including wetlands have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination may not be used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is merely an effective presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction over all of the waters, including wetlands at the project area, which is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters, including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps. B. Approved Determination ❑ There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described project area/property subject to the permit requirements of Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. ❑ There are waters, including wetlandson the above described project area/property subject to the permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 USC § 1344).

The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation mAKgAtl RATE. We strongly DCM WILMINGTON, NC saw-2021-02085 suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA jurisdiction on your property which, provided there is no change in the law or our published regulations, may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years. One waters, including wetlands have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed by the Corps Regulatory Official identified below onDATE. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. ❑ There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, present on the above described project area/property which are subject to the permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. ❑ The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA). You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, NC, at (252) 808-2808 to determine their requirements. Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US, including wetlands, without a Department of the Army pennit may constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material, construction or placement of structures, or work within navigable waters of the United States without a Department of the Army permit may constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC § 401 and/or 403).

Attention USDA Program Participants This delineation/determination has been conducted to identify the limits of Corps' Clean Water Act jurisdiction for the particular site identified in this request. The delineation/determination may not be valid for the wetland conservation provisions of the Food Security Act of 1985.

Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331 If, during an administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.

(Headwater) is pleased to provide the results of our Wetland Determination for the above referenced property. Headwater was retained by DJM-NC, LLC to perform a Wetland Delineation. The purpose of this report is to document and locate the extent of Section 404 wetlands within the site boundary. PROJECT INFORMATION The subject site is located at 1950 and 1970 Deep Creek Run in Wilmington, New Hanover County, North Carolina. According to the New Hanover County GIS, the site is comprised of three parcels identified as Parcel ID R04500-004-007-000, R045400-004-018-000, and R04500-004-008-001. All three parcels are owned by DJM NC, LLC. Regulatory Summary In order to identify wetlands at the site, Headwater utilized the "Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region", issued November 2010. Identification of wetlands is based on a three -factor approach involving indicators of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soil, and wetland hydrology. Federal authority to regulate activities in wetlands is contained in Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344) and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC 403). These Acts established,a program for regulating the discharge of dredged and fill material into the "Waters of the United States", which includes wetlands and streams. Section 401 of the Clean Water Act authorizes States and Tribes to administer the water quality certification process to protect wetlands and other aquatic resources. Based the Rapanos v. United States and Carabell v. United State Supreme Court cases in 2005/2006, the United States'Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued guidance requiring that a significant nexus determination must be completed in order to identify the connectivity of wetlands to traditionally navigable waters. The Wilmington District of the USACE in conjunction with the EPA, administers the federal wetlands program in this area. In addition, the North Carolina Department of Water Resources (DWR) administers the wetlands and stream buffer program for the State of North Carolina as per Section 401 ofthe Clean Water Act. I"�Fi;vm;lt,-t; RECEIVED FEU 0 G 2022 i;0V, t DCM-MHD CITY Wetland Determination: Deep Creek Site Headwater Project#202040 December 23 2020 Additionally, the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (DCM) defines a coastal wetland as any marsh in the 20 coastal counties that regularly or occasionally floods by lunar or wind tides, and includes one or more of 10 specific plant species (refer to Section 2.A-4 of the CAMA Handbook for Development for the list of plants). The coastal shoreline Area of Environmental (AEC) extends 75 feet of the normal high -watermark along an estuarine shoreline. New Hanover County is one of the 20 coastal counties of North Carolina. FINDINGS AND OBSERVATIONS Head wate"rtreviewed various mapping resources and prepared figures to support our findings (Figures 1 to 6). The weather during the reconnaissance was partly cloudy with temperatures in the 50s (degrees Fahrenheit). The parcel boundaries were marked in the field at the time of our site visit: ,Coastal wetlands.are located on the' southeast portion of the site. The coastal wetland boundary was pre6iously'marked in the field by DCM. Demolition of a dwelling and various outbuildings was underway during our site reconnaissance. Non -tidal wetlands '(ie. Section 404 wetlands) are located landward of the coastal wetlands. (refer to Figure 7). The Section 404 wetlands are topographically defined along the toe -of -slope hillside. Headwater recorded four data points (DPs) on site. DP-1 and DP-3 were recorded in an upland. DP-2 and DP-4 were recorded in a wetland. Headwater traversed the perimeter boundaries and made several transects across the interior of the site. The soils throughout the remainder.of the site have a high chroma and high value, meeting the criteria for non-hydric soils. Headwater did not observe additional surface waters or wetlands on the site. Wetland Determination Data Forms that support our findings are included as an attachment. Figure 6 depicts the approximate locations of the jurisdictional features. REGULATORY VERIFICATION It is Headwaters' understanding that the property owner intends to develop a bulkhead. If construction of the bulkhead encroaches into the Section 404 or coastal wetlands, a permit is required. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMENDATIONS • Headwater identified two wetland areas that consist of 404 wetlands and coastal wetlands. The coastal wetlands are defined by the DCM as being any marsh that is subject to regular or occasional flooding from lunar or wind tides and may contain one or more of ten specific vegetative species. The coastal wetlands have been mapped and surveyed by Paramount Engineering. The Section 404 wetlands have been flagged in the field. The location of the Section 404 wetlands were recorded in the field with GPS and depicted on Figure 6. • Section 404 wetlands occupy approximately one acre. The Section 404 wetlands are jurisdictional, and they are regulated by the USACE. • USACE and DCM authorization should be obtained prior to impacting wetlandsRfl(;t FEB 0 0 202z Wetland Determination: Deep Creek Site Headwater Project#202040 .

Do not click links or open attachments unless you verify. Send all suspicious email as an attachment to Report Spam. Hi Cameron, Thanks for reaching out to me; and thanks Bryan for forwarding my contact information. Relative to the comments or recommendations expressed in the letter from the SHPO dated August 15, 2022, 1 offer the following responses: 1. Throughout the design phases we retained Commonwealth Heritage Group who published their latest report dated February 2021. The anomalies noted in their report were in locations proximate to the existing earthworks. Our original bid package included three new earthworks as part of the scope of work; unfortunately, due to budget constraints, those were bid as an alternate that was not accepted. We do not anticipate disturbance of areas of historical significance since the new visitor center is located on the opposite side of the current structure, where parking is now located. The Underwater Archeology Building is located at the extreme northwest corner of the site and near the end of the WWII runway. I have copied the contractor on this response so that he is aware of this and can contact us in the event that the runway is encountered during construction. 2. Tree protection fencing will be installed as part of the contract. Signage identifying roots and tree canopy will be included. 3. The Director of the Visitor Center pointed out that they currently have other concrete walkways on site and would prefer to keep the new sidewalks as concrete to match. There is also concern about the durability of a soil consolidant in the event of a major storm or flood event. Let me know if this response sufficiently addresses the issues in the letter and if you have any further questions. Thanks, Dennis Stallings FAIA Design Director I Principal CLARKNEXSE ❑ We've moved!

The existing property is to be subdivided into 3 separate waterfront lots each with its own docking facility. As proposed, each pier will be 6' in width and varying lengths (Lot 1 = 410', Lot 2 = 457' and Lot 3 = 53 P) at the terminal end of each pier will be a 16' x 16' covered platform. Waterward of the platforms will be an 8' x 16' floating dock, each with a 14' x 14' boatlift on one side creating a 2-slip docking facility for each lot. A boat basin measuring 42' x 167' will be excavated to a final depth of -3' @ normal low water (NLW) which will connect all 3 docking facilities. The existing water depths range from -16" to -3' at NLW in this area. Both adjacent docking facilities have active CAMA Permits for dredging as well. As proposed, the structures will slightly exceed the '/, width of the waterbody limitation which is 164' since the width of the waterbody measures 655' in this location however, they will not exceed the adjacent pierhead line and will not encroach into.the adjacent 15' riparian corridor setbacks. A new 435'long vinyl retaining wall with a 10' long return wall, constructed like a bulkhead will be installed just landward of the 404 Wetlands. The tie -back system will extend 20' landward of the wall. A new 18 P long stone landscape wall will also be installed along the landward side of the 404 Wetlands and the existing large bamboo area located along the eastern side of the property. The DWR pre -filing meeting request has been filled out on the website and a copy of the return email resulting from that submittal is included in this CAMA Major Permit application. • The project proponent hereby certifies that all information contained herein is true, accurate, and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. • The project proponent hereby requests that the certifying authority review and take action on this CWA 401 certification request within the applicable reasonable period of time.

Three (3) separate piers 6 feet in width and of varying lengths (Lot 1 = 410 feet, Lot 2 = 457 feet and Lot 3 = 531 feet) will be constructed. At the terminal end of each pier will be a 16 feet by 16 feet covered platform. Waterward of the platforms will be 8 feet by 16 feet floating docks, each with a 14 feet by 14 feet boatlift on one side creating a 2-slip docking facility for each lot. The docking facilities will cover and shade 9,540 square feet of Waters adjacent to the AIWW. Your proposal has been reviewed and found to be consistent with the provisions and objectives of the CAMA-Corps Programmatic Permit process, via Regional General Permit 291 (copy attached), for construction activities that receive authorization from the State of North Carolina. Therefore, you may commence construction activity in strict accordance with the applicable State authorization, attached Federal special conditions, RGP-291 conditions and the approved plan. Failure to comply with the State authorization or conditions of the Federal permit could result in civil and/or administrative penalties. If any change in your work is required because of unforeseen or altered conditions or for any other reason, plans revised to show the change must be sent promptly to this office and the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management prior to performing any such change or alteration. Such action is necessary as revised plans must be reviewed and the authorization modified. -2- Questions or comments may be addressed to Greg Currey, Wilmington Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone 910-523-1151 or email Gregory.e.currey@usace.army.mil. Sincerely, Greg Currey, Project Manager Wilmington Regulatory Field Office Enclosure Plans Manatee Guidelines GP 291 conditions Copies Furnished by Email (with enclosures): NOAA/NMFS; Mr. Fritz Rhode/Ms. Twyla Cheatwood NOAA/NMFS; Dr. Pace Wilber NCDEQ/DCM; Mr. Jonathan Howell NCDEQ/DCM; Ms. Tara McPherson NCDEQ/DWR; Ms. Holley Snider NCDEQ/DCM; Mr. Cameron Luck NCDEQ/DCM; Ms. Amanda Cannon USFWS; Mr. Pete Benjamin/Mrs. Kathy Matthews USEPA; Mr. Todd Allen Bowers USCG; BOSN3 Mr. Ryan Doody Ms. Debbie Wilson -2- Special Conditions 1. All work authorized by this permit must be performed in strict compliance with the submitted plans, dated July 12, 2021 and revised January 21, 2022, which are a part of this permit. Any modification to these plans must be approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) prior to implementation. 2. The permittee must install and maintain, at his 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 the U.S. Coast Guard Marine Safety Office at (910) 772-2191. 3. Approval of the structure is based on determinations that there would be no obstruction to navigation. The structure may be damaged by wave wash from passing vessels. Issuance of this permit should not be construed, as relieving the permittee of taking proper steps to ensure the structure and moored boats will not be damaged by wave wash. 4. All mechanized equipment will be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent contamination of waters and wetlands from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials. In the event of a spill of petroleum products or any other hazardous waste, the permittee shall immediately report it to the N.C. Division of Water Resources at (919) 733-5083, Ext. 526 or (800) 662-7956 and provisions of the North Carolina Oil Pollution and Hazardous Substances Control Act will be followed. 5. The permittee shall require its contractors and/or agents to comply with the terms and conditions of this permit in the construction and maintenance of this project, and shall provide each of its contractors and/or agents associated with the construction or maintenance of this project with a copy of this permit. A copy of this permit, including all conditions, shall be available at the project site during construction and maintenance of this project. 6. The permittee shall employ all sedimentation and erosion control measures necessary to prevent an increase in sedimentation or turbidity within waters and wetlands outside the permit area. This shall include, but is not limited to, the immediate installation of silt fencing or similar appropriate devices around all areas subject to soil disturbance or the movement of earthen fill, and the immediate stabilization of all disturbed areas. Additionally, the project must remain in full compliance with all aspects of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 7. The activity will be conducted in such a manner as to prevent a significant increase in turbidity outside the area of construction or construction-related discharge. Increases such that the turbidity in the waterbody is 50 NTU's or less in all rivers not designated as trout waters by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM), 25 NTU's or less in all saltwater classes and in all lakes and reservoirs, and 10 NTU's or less in trout waters, are not considered significant. -3- 8. In order to further protect the endangered West Indian Manatee, Trichechus manatus, the applicant must implement the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Manatee Guidelines, and strictly adhere to all requirements therein. The guidelines can be found athttp://www.fws.gov/nc- es/mammal/manatee_guidelines.pdf. 9.The permittee, upon receipt of a notice of revocation of this permit or upon its expiration before completion of the work will, without expense to the United States and in such time and manner as the Secretary of the Army or his authorized representative may direct, restore the water or wetland to its pre-project condition. 10.Violations of these conditions or violations of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act must be reported in writing to the Wilmington District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers within 24 hours of the permittee’s discovery of the violation.

Operating Procedures a. Applications for joint state and federal authorization under this programmatic RGP will be accepted through the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM). Receipt of a complete application by the NCDCM will initiate the State's field review that will include a site visit and preparation of a Field Investigation Report and a state Bio-Report. The NCDCM will forward a copy of the complete application, its Field Investigation Report, and its Bio-Report, to the appropriate Corps of Engineers field office, thereby initiating federal review of the project. The Corps, upon receipt of an application, will immediately assign an action identification number, acknowledge receipt thereof, and examine the application to assure that it can be processed pursuant to this programmatic RGP. The applicant and the NCDCM will be furnished written notification of the Corps' determination. Notification to the applicant will include a brief description of the administrative process. b. For those proposals that may result in a discharge into waters of the U.S., including wetlands, the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) and the applicant will be informed regarding the applicant's need to obtain a Water Quality Certification in accordance with section 401 of the Clean Water Act. c. If, at any time, the Corps determines that a proposed activity is eligible for authorization under another regional RGP or a nationwide permit (NWP), this procedure may be terminated and the activity authorized pursuant to the terms and conditions of the appropriate RGP orNWP. d. The permit review process conducted by the NCDCM is a public process involving publication of public notices in local newspapers, public hearings, and various public appeal procedures. The Corps may issue a separate public notice for a specific proposal if it is deemed necessary for compliance with appropriate laws, regulation, and guidance. e. This RGP does not, in any way, alter established procedures or responsibilities, as required by federal laws, memoranda of agreements (MOA's) or administrative regulations, with respect to the Corps' coordination with appropriate review agencies. The applicant will continue to have the opportunity to rebut any objections to a proposal. f. The Corps will provide copies of the application and plans, the NCDCM's Field Investigation Report, and the state Bio-Report, to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and any other federal agency that the Corps determines to be a necessary review agency (collectively, the "Federal Agencies"). Receipt of this material will initiate the Federal Agencies' review. The Federal Agencies will be allowed sufficient time, normally thirty (30) days, to provide the Corps with their comments and recommendations, including any proposed permit special conditions and recommendations of denial. The Corps may grant extensions of time for Federal Agency review if justified by unusual circumstances. If an extension is granted that would substantially delay an NCDCM decision, the application may be removed from this RGP process. g. The Corps will receive and review all Federal Agency comments as well as any applicant rebuttal. Provided all Federal Agencies and the Corps are in agreement, the Corps will prepare a coordinated federal position incorporating all Federal Agency comments, including proposed permit special conditions and any recommendations for denial. The Corps will typically furnish this coordinated federal position to the NCDCM within 45 days of its receipt of the complete application, and copies of the Field Investigation Report and Bio-Report. h. If the Corps does not concur with a Federal Agency's comments or recommendations, the Corps will contact the Federal Agency and advise it of the Corps' position. Attempts to resolve the issue may include initiating the referral procedures outlined by current memoranda of agreement (MOA's) between the Department of the Army and the agency. No coordinated federal position will be furnished to the NCDCM until and unless the Corps receives written agreement from the Federal Agency that all issues have been resolved to the satisfaction of that agency. i. If any of the recommendations and/or conditions included in the coordinated federal position are unacceptable to the NCDCM, the NCDCM will contact the Corps within ten (10) days of receipt of the coordinated federal position and attempt to resolve the conflict. If resolution of the conflict involves changes to the conditions or recommendations provided by the Federal Agencies, the provisions of paragraphs g. and h. (above) will apply. If the conflict is resolved to the satisfaction of the Corps and any affected Federal Agency, the NCDCM permit will be issued and the authority of this RGP will apply. j. If a Federal Agency conflict is not resolved within the time necessary for a decision by the NCDCM, the NCDCM may proceed, independently, to conclude the state action without inclusion of the federal position. In such case, the applicant and the NCDCM will be notified immediately, in writing, that the state permit does not satisfy the federal permit requirements and that the proposal in question may not proceed without federal authorization. k. If the coordinated federal position is not in conflict with state agencies' positions, law, regulation, or policy, and is acceptable to the NCDCM, a state permit will be developed by the NCDCM fully incorporating the state and federal positions. The NCDCM will furnish copies of the final permit to the applicant and the Corps. The NCDWR will furnish a copy of the Section 401 Water Quality Certification, if required, to the applicant and the Corps. The Corps will not confirm the authorization of a proposed project under this RGP until the issuance of the NCDCM permit and, if required, the Section 401 Water Quality Certification. 1. If the NCDCM permit or Section 401 Water Quality Certification is denied, the applicant will be informed that federal authorization is denied without prejudice. m. No work may proceed under this RGP until the Wilmington District Engineer or his representative provides written verification that the procedures and conditions of the RGP have been satisfied. n. The NCDCM and the Corps will monitor all permitted work and periodically inspect projects for compliance with permit conditions and applicable state and federal regulations. If any violation of the NCDCM permit is discovered which would also constitute a violation of the federal position, both the NCDCM and the Corps, in accordance with their respective regulations and policies, may take enforcement action. o. This RGP will not be used to authorize an activity when the Wilmington District Engineer determines that the proposed activity would significantly affect the quality of the human environment and therefore require preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). General Conditions a. Authorized structures located on or adjacent to Federally authorized waterways will be constructed in accordance with the latest setback criteria established by the Wilmington District Engineer. You may review the setback policy at http://www.saw.usace.anny.mil/Missions/Navigation/Setbacks.aspx. This RGP does not authorize the construction of hardened or permanently fixed structures within the Federally Authorized Channel Setback, unless the activity is approved by the Corps. The Permittee must obtain approval from the Corps prior to the construction of any structures within the Federally Authorized Channel Setback. b. Except as authorized by this RGP or any Corps approved modification to this RGP, no excavation, fill or mechanized land-clearing activities shall take place, at any time in the construction or maintenance of this project, within waters or wetlands. This permit does not authorize temporary placement or double handling of excavated or fill material within waters or wetlands outside the permitted area. This prohibition applies to all borrow and fill activities connected with this project. c. Authorization under this RGP does not obviate the need to obtain other federal, state, or local authorizations. d. All work authorized by this RGP must comply with the terms and conditions of the applicable Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification for this RGP issued by the North Carolina Division of Water Resources. e. The Permittee shall employ all sedimentation and erosion control measures necessary to prevent an increase in sedimentation or turbidity within waters and wetlands outside the permit area. This shall include, but is not limited to, the immediate installation of silt fencing or similar appropriate devices around all areas subject to soil disturbance or the movement of earthen fill, and the immediate stabilization of all disturbed areas. Additionally, the project must remain in full compliance with all aspects of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 113A Article 4). f. The activities authorized by this RGP must not interfere with the public's right to free navigation on all navigable waters of the U.S. No attempt will be made by the 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. g. The Permittee understands and agrees that, if future operations by the United States 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 umeasonable obstruction to the free navigation of the navigable waters, the Permittee will be required, upon due notice from the Corps , to remove, relocate, or alter the structural work or obstructions caused thereby, without expense to the United States. No claim shall be made against the United States on account of any such removal or alteration. h. 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 United States 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. i. 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. j. 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: SAWWeb-NAV@usace.army.mil. k. The Permittee will allow the Wilmington District Engineer or his/her representative to inspect the authorized activity at any time deemed necessary to assure that the activity is being performed or maintained in strict accordance with the Special and General Conditions of this permit. 1. This RGP does not grant any property rights or exclusive privileges. m. This RGP does not authorize any injury to the property or rights of others. n. This RGP does not authorize the interference with any existing or proposed federal project. o. In issuing this RGP, the Federal Government does not assume any liability for the following: (1) Damages to the permitted project or uses thereof as a result of other 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 United States 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. p. 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 United States Government. q. No activity may occur in a component of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers 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.) r. 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 applicant 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. s. 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 may not begin work until notified by the Corps that the requirements of the NHPA have been satisfied and that the activity is authorized. t. If you discover any previously unknown historic, cultural, or archeological remains and artifacts while accomplishing the activity authorized by this RGP, 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. u. Endangered Species. (1) No activity is authorized under this RGP which is likely to jeopardize the continued existence of a threatened or endangered species directly or indirectly 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 this RGP which "may affect" a listed species or critical habitat, unless Section 7 consultation addressing the effects of the proposed activity has been completed. (2) Federal agencies should follow their own procedures for complying with the requirements of the ESA. Federal prospective Permittees (and when FHWA is the lead federal agency) must provide the District Engineer with the appropriate documentation to demonstrate compliance with those requirements. The District Engineer will review the documentation and determine whether it is sufficient to address ESA compliance for the RGP activity, or whether additional ESA consultation is necessary. (3) As a result of formal or informal consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) or NMFS, the District Engineer may add species-specific endangered species conditions to the RGP verification letter for a project. ( 4) Authorization of an activity by a RGP does not authorize the "take" of a threatened or endangered species as defined under the ESA. In the absence of separate authorization ( e.g., an ESA Section 10 Permit, a Biological Opinion with "incidental take" provisions, etc.) from the USFWS or the NMFS, the ESA prohibits any person subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. to take a listed species, where "take" means to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct. The word "harm" in the definition of "take" means an act which actually kills or injures wildlife. Such an act may include significant habitat modification or degradation where it actually kills or injures wildlife by significantly impairing essential behavioral patterns, including breeding, feeding, or sheltering. (5) Information on the location of threatened and endangered species and their critical habitat can be obtained directly from the USFWS in Raleigh, North Carolina at the address provided below, or from the USFWS and NMFS via their world wide web pages at http://www.fws.gov/ or http://www.fws.gov/ipac and http://www.noaa.gov/fisheries.html respectively. The Raleigh USFWS Office covers all NC counties east of, and including, Richmond, Montgomery, Randolph, Guilford, and Rockingham Counties. US Fish and Wildlife Service Raleigh Field Office Post Office Box 33726 Raleigh, NC 27636-3726 Telephone: (919) 856-4520 (6) The Wilmington District, USFWS, NCDOT, and the FHWA 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 PB Os), 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 PB Os) 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. (7) Northern long-eared bat (NLEB) (Myotis septentrionalis). Standard Local Operating Procedures for Endangered Species (SLOPES) for the NLEB have been approved by the Corps and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. See http://www.saw. usace.army .mil/Missions/Regulatory-Permit-Program/ Agency- Coordination/ESA/. This SLOPES details how the Corps will make determinations of effect to the NLEB when the Corps is the lead federal agency for an NCDOT project that is located in the western 41 counties of North Carolina. This SLOPES do not address NCDOT projects (either federal or state funded) in the eastern 59 counties in North Carolina. Note that if another federal agency is the lead federal agency for a project in the western 41 counties, procedures for satisfying the requirements of Section 7(a)(2) of the ESA will be dictated by that agency and will not be applicable for consideration under the SLOPES; however, information that demonstrates the lead federal agency's (if other than the Corps) compliance with Section 7(a)(2) / 4(d) Rule for the NLEB, will be required in the PCN. Note that at the time of issuance of this RGP, the federal listing status of the NLEB as "Threatened" is being litigated at the National level. If, as a result of litigation, the NLEB is federally listed as "Endangered", this general condition (''s") will no longer be applicable because the 4( d) Rule, and this NLEB SLOPES, will no longer apply/be valid. (8) In order to further protect the endangered West Indian Manatee, Trichechus manatus, the applicant must implement the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Manatee Guidelines, and strictly adhere to all requirements therein. The guidelines can be found at https ://www.fws.gov/raleigh/pdfs/ManateeGuidelines201 7 .pdf (9) 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. v. 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. w. 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. x. If the display of lights and signals on the authorized structure is not otherwise provided for by law, such lights and signals as may be prescribed by the U.S. Coast Guard will be installed and maintained by and at the expense of the Permittee. y. It is possible that an authorized structure may be damaged by wave wash from passing vessels. The issuance of this RGP does not relieve the Permittee from taking all proper steps to ensure the integrity of the permitted structure and the safety of moored boats. The Permittee will not hold the United States liable for any such damage. z. Structures and their attendant utilities, authorized by this RGP, located on lands subject to an easement in favor of the United States for the operation, maintenance, improvement, and enlargement of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW), will be removed at the expense of the Permittee, in the event that, in the judgment of the Corps acting on behalf of the United States, the lands are needed at any time for any purpose within the scope of the easement. Permanent buildings will not be constructed within the easement. aa. The Permittee must maintain any structure or work authorized by this RGP in good condition and in conformance with the terms and conditions of this RGP. 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 RGP will automatically transfer this RGP 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 RGP and provide the subsequent owner with a copy of the terms and conditions of this RGP. bb. At his/her 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. cc. 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. dd 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. ee. 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.

Bennett Colonel, U.S. Army District Commander United States Department of the Interior FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE Raleigh Field Office Post Office Box 33726 Raleigh, North Carolina 27636-3726 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.
