Will the project be for commercial, public, or private use? ®Commercial ®Public/Govemment ❑Private/Community b. Give a brief description of purpose, use, and daily operations of the project when complete. The purpose of the project is to complete the repair of the degraded steel hull as being required by the US Navy. This will be done via installation of a permanent cofferdam around the entire ship. Future maintenance is anticipated thus the cofferdam will remain in place. The remaining improvements are being constructed to upgrade existing facilities, and improve the public benefit, safety and educational aspects of the battleship. Ongoing siltation issues and flooding issues will also be addressed, at least partially. The battleship will continue to function as a public park/attraction once complete. The proposed Memorial Walkway around the ship and covered pavilions will provide increased viewing of the battleship without an admission fee, along with the educuational opportunity to experience the tidal marsh system along the Cape Fear River, which will be further enhanced by the proposed Expedition Trail that will extend into the marsh north of the ship basin. The proposed bulkhead realignment will help reduce siltation by lessening the eddying effect of the current bulkhead alignment along the south shoreline of the ship basin. The proposed walkway/bulkhead along the Cape Fear River shoreline will provide safer, improved public access to the shoreline. The public docking facilities will allow for access to the park for boaters. The new visitor center will include office space for battleship employees, safer ingress/egress to the ship, and public meeting space. The current parking lot will be paved and raised approximatley 3-4 feet with subsurface infiltratirtEiVE chambers present beneath it for stonnwater treatment. The new park will provide improved public space for concerts, festivals and other public events. c. Describe the proposed construction methodology, types of construction equipment to be used during construction, the number of 9& tyLve of equipment and where it is to be stored. The hull repair will be performed using a DCM-MHD p p g permanent cofferdam installed around the entire ship. The cofferdam will be installed using a vibratory hammer to drive the sheet piles into the underlying Castle Hayne formation. The weirs on the cofferdam will be raised/closed and water present within the cofferdam will be removed prior to hull repair. The pluff mud present will be allowed to settle and this will be the working surface. A trench will be dug around the hull to expose the portion subject to the tidal range. The hull coatings will be removed using sandblasters with HEPA filters and sections will be cut out and replaced. The replaced hull will be coated and painted and once dry, the weirs will be opened to allow flow around the ship. The Memorial Walkway and Expedition Trail will be pile -supported structures. Piles will be installed via traditional pile installation techniques (i.e. vibatory hammer and/or a pile driving hammer) for the Walkway and most likely by hand tools for the Trail. The bulkhead will be sheet pile and pre -cast concrete that will be installed using mechanical equipment. The visitor center will be a two-story building constructed of wood, metal and glass and will be pile -supported. Convential pile driving techniques will be used to install the piles. The parking lot will be constructed using permeable pavement with subsurface infiltration trenches for stormwater RECEI treatement. The entire parking lot will be raised 3 to 4 feet to alleviate flooding.

The main pier extending from the shore will be connected to the driven piles and the finger piers will be connected to the main pier. The finger pier will be floating. The associated dock master's office and restrooms will be wood structures constructed on at - grade concrete slabs. The amphitheater will be constructed outside of the AEC along the Cape Fear River shoreline and will consist of a wood structure with a raised stage. d. List all development activities you propose. Development will include construction of the cofferdam, walkway and pavilions around the ship, the nature trail over the marsh adjacent to the north, the floating dock facility at the mouth of the ship basin, the new bulkhead along the south shoreline of the boat basin, an elevated walkway along the Northeast Cape Fear River shoreline, a new visitor center, an amphitheater, and a renovated parking lot with stormwater treatment. e. Are the proposed activities maintenance of an existing project, new work, or both? Maintenance and new work f. What is the approximate total disturbed land area resulting from the proposed project? Approx. 6 ❑Sq.Ft or ®Acres g. Will the proposed project encroach on any public easement, public accessway or other area ❑Yes ®No ❑NA that the public has established use of? h. Describe location and type of existing and proposed discharges to waters of the state. The bulkhead realignment within the ship basin will result in filing approximately 7,153 square feet of the open water within the basin. This is being done to facilitate tidal flow within the basin to reduce siltation, and also to match the bulkhead elevation with the new elevation of the raised parking lot. To complete the bulkhead realignment, approximately 6,832 square feet of upland will be excavated and converted to open water. I. Will wastewater or stormwater be discharged into a wetland? ❑Yes ®No ❑NA If yes, will this discharged water be of the same salinity as the receiving water? ❑Yes ❑No ®NA j. Is there any mitigation proposed? ❑Yes ®No ❑NA If yes, attach a mitigation proposal. <Form continues on back> 6.

Battleship hull, construct a memorial walkway and upgrade existing facilities. NC Department of Cultural Resources- USS NC Battleship Hull Repair and Battleship Park Improvements Page Two 9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The U.S.S. N.C. Battleship Memorial Park is located on Battleship Drive, off US Hwy. 421, on the west bank of the Cape Fear River, on Eagle Island, in New Hanover County. To locate the site from the Wilmington Regional Office (WiRO) travel south on Market Street (U.S. HWY 17) until you reach Martin Luther King, Jr. Parkway (N.C. HWY 74), which will be located on the right. Turn right and travel west approximately 3.5 miles until you arrive at North 3rd Street in downtown Wilmington. Turn right onto the Isabel Holmes Bridge over the Northeast Cape Fear River until you reach the light at U.S. HWY 17. Turn left on U.S. HWY 17 and travel south approximately 1 mile until you reach U.S.S. N.C. Road and continue until you reach the U.S.S. N.C. Battleship facility and parking area, which will be located on the left (See Figure 1). The U.S.S. N.C. Battleship was brought to its Wilmington berth in 1961. The U.S.S. N.C. Battleship Commission has obtained several permits over the years for maintenance dredging of the basin and other facility modifications. These include State Permits #109-78, #66-88, #20-84 and #75-02. The. approximately 49 acre property includes a visitors center, parking area, a small maintenance building/yard and a temporary equipment access ramp to the battleship. The highground area is maintained with lawn grasses and there are rows of mature oak trees between the sections of the parking lot. The visitors center is constructed on pilings and is located partially over open water on the south side of the basin. It includes an elevated wooden observation walkway and access bridge to the battleship. The southern portion of the basin and the riverfront (eastern) shoreline of the property is stabilized with various rip rap materials; large granite stone along the riverfront, and smaller rock, concrete and masonry materials within the basin. Except for the southwest corner of the basin, there are no coastal wetlands along the alignment of the existing rip rap. In this area, the rip rap profile is slightly lower than other areas and allows more frequent tidal overwash, allowing Spike Grass (Distichlis spicata), Sea Lavender (Limonium spp.) and one small patch of Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina alternii fora) to establish along the shoreline. There is a small existing access pier and floating dock in the southeastern area of the basin, which facilitates the on/off loading of visitors ferried over from the downtown Wilmington area (See Figure 2). The northern and western portion of the tract, between the basin and U.S. Hwy. 421, is mostly wetlands and species include; Salt Reed Grass (Spartina cynosuroides), Narrow -leaf Cat -tail (7jpha angustifolia), and Saw Grass (Cladium spp.). Above tidal influence, the vegetation transitions to wooded swamp (§ 404 type wetlands), including Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum), Black Willow (Salix nigra), Silverling (Baccharis halimifolia), and Common Reed (Phragmites australis), Common Cat -tail (Typha latifolia), Narrow -leaved Cat -tail (7)pha angustifolia), Bull Rush (Scirpus spp.), and other wetland species. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) issued a Notice of Jurisdictional Determination (Action ID SAW — 2010-00175 dated March 11, 2010 (See Sheet A1.0 and Project Narrative). The City of Wilmington/New Hanover County Joint 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan classifies adjacent waters as Conservation, and the adjacent high ground portion of the project area as Developed. The waters of the Cape Fear River are classified SC by the Division of Water Resources. They ARE designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries and they are CLOSED to the harvest of shellfish. The USACE federally maintained channel and assgt*p*D Wilmington Harbor is located adjacent to the project site. JAN 15 10b PROPOSED PROJECT: DCM-MHD CITY The applicant proposes to repair the U.S.S. N.C. Battleship hull, construct a memorial walkway and upgrade existing facilities. In 2009, the U.S. Navy required a plan to address the critical structural repairs required for the battleship or submit a plan to scrap the battleship. The N.C. Division of Coastal Management (DCM) issued CAMA General Permit #54561-D on June 16, 2010 to the applicant to allow for temporary floating docks to facilitate an emergency repair to a portion of the starboard hull based on the demands of the U.S. Navy. NC Department of Cultural Resources- USS NC Battleship Hull Repair and Battleship Park Improvements Page Three The application states that a cofferdam, measuring approximately 1,785 linear feet would be permanently installed around the entire ship's hull. The application states the cofferdam would allow the contractor to properly repair the critically damaged hull per the requirement of the U.S. Navy. The application states the cofferdam sheet piles would be driven down within the substrate and into the underlying Castle Hayne aquifer a distance of approximately 50' and would be located approximately 4.28' above the mean high water (M W) boundary. Once the cofferdam is installed, dewatering within the cofferdam would be accomplished through well points. Once the dewatering and the substrate or "mud pluff' has subsided, a trench would be excavated around the hull to provide access for repairing the hull plates. Once the repairs to the ship's hull is complete, six (6) manually operated weirs each approximately 5' in width would be built within all the sections of the cofferdam and would be used to allow the flow of tidal water around the vessel, to prevent stagnation. The application also states the cofferdam would also improve public safety by isolating the high -voltage corrosion protective system currently located around the hull from kayakers and other vessels (See Sheets A1.2 through AIA, BDS-03 and BDS-04 and Project Narrative). Once the hull repairs are complete, a new memorial walkway would be constructed on top of the cofferdam on the southern side of the Battleship. On the northern side of the Battleship, existing mooring lines currently hang too low for the proposed walkway to be constructed over the cofferdam, thus the walkway would be oriented northward of the existing mooring lines. The proposed walkway would measure approximately 1,985' in length by 14' in width and approximately 11' in height above the wetland substrate. The walkway would also include an uncovered platform/quarterdeck located on the southern end of the walkway, measuring approximately 140' in length by 20' in width and two (2) covered pavilions, each measuring approximately 30' in length by 20' in width, which would provide educational areas for field trips and shaded area for visitors to take refuge from the weather. These pavilions would also be located entirely over open water (See Sheets ALL through A1.4 and Project Narrative). The application states, a pile supported walkway would also extend along the Cape Fear River shoreline for pedestrian access, measuring approximately 730' in length by 12' in width, which would terminate onto a covered platform, measuring approximately 32' in length by 28' in width towards the south. The application states that the walkway would be pile supported over the existing rip rap shoreline and allow for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance and would mirror the existing Downtown Wilmington Riverwalk located along the other side of the Cape Fear and Northeast Cape Fear River. The application states, a new amphitheater stage would be constructed within the open area located on the eastern portion of the property, currently being utilized for festivals and concert events (gbrd is AM and A1.2 and Project Narrative). jAN 15 2015 The application also proposes an additional elevated walkway (Eagle Island Exped*WWWI & the purpose of a nature trail/boardwalk to be located within the wetland area north of the battleship, measuring approximately 2,303' in length by 10' in width. The walkway would include covered and uncovered platforms to provide outdoor classrooms and overlooks along the shoreline of the river. The majority of the walkway would be located above the MHW boundary and elevated entirely over the existing wetlands, which would exceed the 6' in width limitation; however, the majority of the existing wetlands in this area consist primarily of §404 type vegetation, including Common Reed (Phragm#es ausiralis), aforementioned. The application states that the structure would be elevated approximately 10' above the substrate to lessen potential shading impact in this area of wetlands (See Sheets ALL through AIA and Project Narrative). The applicant proposes to construct a new 540 linear foot sheet pile bulkhead with a concrete cap located waterward of the existing bulkhead located along the south shore of the ship basin. The application states that the bulkhead would have an average distance of approximately 35' with a maximum distance of approximately 70' waterward of the existing bulkhead. The application also states that an area of highground above the MHW boundary approximately 6,832 sq. ft. would be excavated, which would allow the MHW boundary elevation to reach the proposed bulkhead. Once this excavated material is removed and dewatered onto highground, it would be utilized as a backfill source of the new bulkhead. NC Department of Cultural Resources- USS NC Battleship Hull Repair and Battleship Park Improvements Page Four The application states the current bulkhead is not linear along the shoreline has recesses and creates an eddy, which creates conditions where tidally -transported sediments settle in the ship basin. Further, the proposed bulkhead would result in a straighter alignment along the south shore of basin and with the removal of the highground area waterward of the bulkhead, which may facilitate tidal sediment transport and help reduce the amount of sediment around the battleship (See Sheets A1.2 through AM, BDS-02 and Project Narrative). Upland development would include a new visitors center. The application states that the existing visitors center would be demolished and a new center would be constructed within the same footprint adjacent to the new bulkhead, aforementioned; however, the proposed building would be located entirely above the MHW boundary. The two-story building would consist of office space for the battleship staff, a ticket booth, gift shop, cafeteria and event space. The application also states that the existing elevated bridge from the visitors center to the battleship would be replaced in compliance with the ADA. The parking areas would be replaced and raised to address periodic flooding during storm events. The application states the proposed elevation of the new parking areas would range from approximately 3' to 4' above the existing grade and constructed with permeable pavement with subsurface infiltration chambers to manage stormwater runoff. The application states the existing parking areas currently drains into the ship basin. The application also states that a total of 363 parking spaces are proposed, and that the expansion area to the north of the existing parking area is within and area that has been previously utilized a spoil location (See Sheets AM through A1.4 and Project Narrative). The applicant also proposes to replace the existing docking facility with a new public ten (10)-slip facility. A fixed pier, measuring approximately 180' in length by 14' in width would extend from the southern side of the ship basin towards the north. Access ramps would lead onto three (3) floating finger docks, each measuring approximately 75' in length by 14' in width and spaced approximately 35' to 50' apart and would extend perpendicular from the access pier and shipping channel within the ship basin. The application states that these docks would accommodate transient vessels, to include canoe and kayak access. Another floating dock, measuring approximately 210' in length and ranging from 20' to 40' in width would be located on the southern end of the docking facility, which would follow the shoreline as it turns towards the south, creating an "L-shaped" configuration. The application states that this floating dock would replace the existing floating dock currently utilized by the ferry boat from downtown Wilmington.. Due to the proximity of the Federal channel in this location of the Cape Fear River, the pilings for the proposed floating dock would be located just landward of the Wilmington Harbor Line; however, the floating dock and half of the fixed access piers would encroach into the Wilmington Harbor Line. The application states that these structures are designed to be removed if required by the USACE. The proposed floating dock would provide side to transient slips for up to 10 vessels. The existing water depths in the location of the proposed floating docks range from approximately -3' to -28' @ normal low water (NLW). The applicant states that there are no services proposed such as fuel, maintenance, etc. In addition, the application states that a dock master's office with restrooms would be constructed landward side of the shoreline of the docking facility to allow access management to the docks. The application states the proposed dock system would also be of sufficient width to comply with ADA requirements (See Sheets A1.0, through AIA and Project Narrative). The applicant submitted an Environmental Assessment (EA) with Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) to document compliance with the N.C. State Environmental Protection Act (SEPA) and submitted it for review through the N.C. Department of Administration State Environmental E� Clearinghouse. The applicant also held a scoping meeting at the N.C. U.S.S. Battleship facility on Tune 11, 2014 with the interested review agencies. JAN 15 2015 10. ANTICIPATED IWACTS paM:MwAeJTY The proposed permanent cofferdam would incorporate approxirriately 1,785 sq. ft. of Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area and would also be excavated of approximately 17,850 sq. ft. of shallow bottom material to allow for the repair of the battleship hull in an area previously excavated. NC Department of Cultural Resources- USS NC Battleship Hull Repair and Battleship Park Improvements Page Five The cofferdam would include six (6) manually operated weirs, each measuring approximately 5' in width built within all the sections of the cofferdam and would be used to allow the flow of tidal water around the vessel, to prevent stagnation. The proposed elevated memorial walkway and associated covered platforms would incorporate a total of approximately 31,790 sq. ft. of Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area, essentially within an area of the existing ship basin which has been usurped with the existing battleship. The proposed walkway would shade approximately 5,460 sq. ft. of Coastal and §404 wetlands type vegetation, which consists primarily of Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina altern j7ora) and Comman Reed (Phragmites australis). The proposed elevated Eagle Island Expedition Trail would incorporate approximately 600 sq. ft. of Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area and would shade approximately 23,030 sq. ft. of §404 wetlands type vegetation which Comman Reed (Phragmites australts), Common Cat -tail (Typha latifolia), Narrow -leaved Cat -tail (Typha angustifolia), Bull Rush (Scirpus spp.) and other wetland species. The proposed walkway and the covered platform along the Cape Fear River shoreline would incorporate approximately 9,656 sq. ft. of highground area. The proposed shoreline stabilization would impact approximately 7,153 sq. ft. of Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area, essentially within an area of the existing ship basin which has been usurped with the existing battleship. The proposed highground excavation to facilitate circulation with the ship basin would impact approximately 6,832 sq. ft. of highground, essentially creating the same amount of sq. ft. of Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area. The proposed upland redevelopment and new development would impact approximately 261,360 sq. ft. of highground area. As proposed, the docking facility would incorporate approximately 14,670 sq. ft. of Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area. These structures would conform to the 1/4 distance rule; however, the floating docks would encroach into the Wilmington Harbor Line. The application states the fixed support pilings of the floating docks would not encroach into the Wilmington Harbor Line and that these floating structures are designed to be removed if required by the USACE. The proposed floating docks would provide transient slips for up to ten (10) vessels within existing water depths ranging from approximately -3' to -28' @ NLW. Minor increases in turbidity should be expected during the dredging event; however no long term adverse impacts are anticipated. RECEIVED JAN 15 105 Kkl' l°lnk kN.v Submitted by: Robb L. Mairs Date: December 22, 2014 Office: Wilmington RECEIVED DCM WILMINGTON, NC DEC 1 8 2014 PROJECT NARRATIVE The project site is located on the west bank of the Northeast Cape Fear River across from downtown Wilmington and is comprised of the existing USS North Carolina (USS NC) Memorial Battleship basin, the Battleship Park and the marsh adjacent to the north of the basin. The property is identified as New Hanover County Parcel ID R04700-006-001- 000 and is owned by the State of North Carolina. Existing site development features include the battleship, the visitor center building, a covered building used for public and private events at the Park, associated gravel and asphalt drives and parking areas, a bulkhead along the south shoreline, a former dredge spoil disposal area, a storage trailer, and Battleship Drive, which is an asphalt paved road providing site access from NC Highway 133/421. The site has operated as the Battleship USS NC Memorial since 1962 under the care of the North Carolina Battleship Commission (Commission). The battleship USS NC is located in a man-made inlet that is open to the Northeast Cape Fear River. Tidally influenced wetlands are located adjacent to the inlet, with small portions being coastal wetland, as defined by the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA). The majority of the wetlands are non -coastal, 404 jurisdictional dominated by Phragmites australis. A Normal High Water Line (NHWL), as defined by CAMA, is present along the Northeast Cape Fear River shoreline and the shoreline within the ship basin. Areas of Environmental Concern (AECs) on the project site include the Coastal Wetland AEC limited to the coastal wetlands in the tidally -influenced ditch along Battleship Drive and adjacent to the Northeast Cape Fear River, and the Coastal Shoreline AEC which extends 75-feet landward from the NHWL. There is also a 30-foot setback from the NHWL for non -water -dependent uses. However, it is our opinion that this project site qualifies as an Urban Waterfront per 15A NCAC 07H.0209(g), due to the existing water and sewer utility availability and existing development (visitor center, parking lot, public park space), which allows for the 30-foot setback to be relaxed. Jurisdictional delineation of wetlands (including coastal wetlands) and determination of the NHWL was performed by S&ME in late December 2009 and early January 2010. A Notification of Jurisdictional Determination, Action ID SAW-2010-00175, dated March 11, 2010, was issued by the United States Army Corp of Engineers USACE. S&MEalso prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) with Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) to document compliance with the North Carolina State Environmental Protection Act (SEPA) and submitted it for review through the North Carolina Department of Administration State Environmental Review Clearinghouse. Reviewing agencies concurred with the FONSI with one design -related comment from NC Division of Marine Fisheries regarding sufficient tidal flow into the cofferdam once the hull repair is complete and requesting details of the weirs be submitted with the application. It also should be noted that permits for maintenance dredging of the ship basin were issued in RECEIVED 1978 and 1988 and have been included with the application package. JAN 1 ,r, 2015 In 2009, the U.S. Navy required a plan to address the critical structural repairs requiredF4,-M_MHD CITY for the battleship or submit a plan to scrap the battleship. In part, the Commission proposed an emergency hull repair project on a small portion of the battleship's forward starboard hull, which was completed 2011 through the use of a flange -mounted, detachable cofferdam. The purpose of that effort was to replace the thinnest section of the hull to prevent flooding and the potential of a release of the oil/water mixture used as USS NC Hull Repair and Park Improvements S&ME Project No. 4305-14-078 Wilmington New Hanover County North Carolina December 11 2014 a ballast within the hull. To further address the Navy's request for completing all repairs, the Commission submitted a $17 million plan to make comprehensive and'life-saving' repairs to secure the Memorial for future generations. A complete ship wide hull repair will enable a long-term and affordable solution for annual maintenance, and add significant new memorial and educational upgrades to the visitor experience. In response to the Navy's demands for repairs, the Commission and the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources (NCDCR) began researching methods to repair the hull and came to the conclusion that the least impact to the environment and an economical viable means for repairs was to install a permanent cofferdam surrounding the hull for in -place dry docking, which is a method approved by the Navy. The use of a permanent coffer dam would provide for a safe work environment, provide an easier means to access the hull for future repairs, and double as a support structure over which a new Memorial Walkway could be constructed. The Commission and NCDCR also reviewed the need for additional improvements to the Battleship Memorial Park, which would improve stormwater runoff management, site safety, public access, and public education. As a result, in addition to the coffer dam and new proposed Memorial Walkway, the project will include a new visitor center to replace the aging piling -supported existing center, realignment of the existing bulkhead in the ship basin, a public dock facility, an elevated walkway along the Northeast Cape Fear River shoreline, a new parking lot with stormwater management improvements, and a new amphitheater, all of which will be located outside of AECs. . The proposed cofferdam will be installed by driving sheet piles through the sediments (i,e., pluff mud) in the ship basin and into the underlying Castle Hayne aquifer formation using a vibratory hammer. Once the cofferdam is installed, dewatering within the cofferdam will be accomplished through de -watering well points. Once the area within the cofferdam is sufficiently de -watered, and the pluff mud has subsided, a trench will be excavated around the hull to provide access for repairing the hull plates. Workers will use a sand blaster with a HEPA vacuum attachment to remove the remaining paint where torch cuts will be made. Storage tanks and/or liquids inside the hull that could be affected by the repair work will be removed prior to torch cutting activities. New steel plating will be welded together where sections where are removed. Appropriate marine paint will be used to coat the new steel once in place. Where hull plating is structurally sound, the steel plates will be reconditioned through corrosion RECEiVEr) removal and re -painting. 1AN t fi 2015 Subsequent to repairing the hull, manually -operated weirs built within sections of &v 10k kld cofferdam will be used to allow the flow of water around the vessel, preventing. stagnation. A total of six weirs with openings approximately 5 feet wide each, are proposed around all sides of the cofferdam that allow tidal water inflow to each side of the ship to provide sufficient circulation of tidal water into the cofferdam to maintain the Primary Nursery Area associated with the ship basin. The permanent presence of the _ cofferdam will also improve public safety by isolating the high -voltage corrosBf— F-iVF_D protection system present around the hull from kayakers and other boatersDCM WIL.MINGTON, NC DEC 1 0014 USS NC Hull Repair and Park Improvements S&ME Project No. 4305-14-078 Wilmington. New Hanover County, North Carolina December 11 2014 The Memorial Walkway will be constructed on top of the cofferdam on the south side of the Battleship. On the north side of the Battleship, existing mooring lines hang too low for the walkway to be constructed over the cofferdam, thus the walkway was re-routed northward of the mooring dolphins. The proposed walkway width is 14 feet but it will be elevated approximately 11 feet above the marsh substrate and water surface thus negating shading concerns of the underlying wetlands. The walkway will include a quarterdeck located south of the Battleship that can be used for ceremonies and two covered pavilions that will provide educational areas for fieldtrips and shaded areas for visitors to take refuge from the weather. The walkway will be free to the public and accessible without entering the ticketing portion of the park (i.e. battleship tours). The covered pavilions and quarterdeck will both be located entirely over water. The walkway along the Northeast Cape Fear River will extend pedestrian access south along the Northeast Cape Fear River shoreline. The walkway and associated structures will be pile supported and the covered pavilions will be located over existing rip -rap. The proposed width of 14 feet will allow for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance and will mirror with the existing Wilmington Riverwalk located directly across the Northeast Cape Fear River. A new concrete or capped sheet pile bulkhead is proposed, which will replace the existing bulkhead present along the south shore of the ship basin. The current bulkhead is not linear along the shoreline and has recesses which create an eddy, which creates conditions where tidally -transported sediments settle in the ship basin. The new bulkhead will result in a straighter alignment along the south shore, which may facilitate tidal sediment transport and help reduce the amount of sediment around the battleship. The realignment of the bulkhead will result in a net no -loss of water in the basin. Prior to constructing the new visitor center, the existing center will be demolished and the new center will generally be constructed within the footprint of the existing visitor center and adjacent to the proposed new bulkhead discussed in the paragraph above. The new visitor center will be located within the 30-foot setback for non -water dependent uses; however, this should be considered redevelopment and, in our opinion, is being constructed within an Urban Waterfront per 15A NCAC .07H.0202(g). The two-story building will consist of office space for the battleship staff, a ticket booth, gift shop, cafeteria and event space. The public dock facility will consist of a 10-slip floating dock system for transient boats and a ferry landing for water taxis accessing the park from downtown Wilmington. In RECEIVED addition, a dock master's office with restrooms will be constructed land side allowing access management to the boat docks. The dock system will consist of the main pier with JAN 15 1015 three finger piers that will extend out of the mouth of the ship basin and into the DCM_MHD Cm Northeast Cape Fear River channel. The dock system will be of sufficient width to comply with ADA requirements. All pile supported structures will be located outside of the Northeast Cape Fear River harbor line and outside of the federally -maintained shipping channel. Having the finger piers extend into the channel will likely prevent the need for dredging in the location of the boat docks. RECEIVED OCM WILMINGTON, NC n c, 1 8 2014 USS NC Hull Repair and Park Improvements S&ME Project No. 4305-14-078 Wilmington New Hanover CountyNorth Carolina December 11 2014 The parking lot renovation will include expanding and raising the existing parking lot three to four feet to address periodic flooding during storm events. The renovation of the parking grade will include removal and replacement of several live oak trees that are currently dying due to the flooding. The new parking lot will consist of permeable pavement with subsurface infiltration chambers to manage stormwater runoff from the parking lot, thereby mitigating untreated stormwater runoff that currently drains directly into the ship basin. A total of 363 spaces are proposed. It should be noted that the expansion will occur in an area formerly used for dredge disposal so the entire parking lot renovation should be considered redevelopment. Plans also include the construction of the Expedition Trail, a nature trail/boardwalk connecting to the Memorial Walkway and boat docks. The proposed width of the trail is 9 feet and will be elevated approximately 9 to 10 feet over the marsh substrate, thus negating shading concerns for the underlying wetland. The Expedition Trail will incorporate recreation and environmental education related components that can be experienced year-round and particularly in association with special events. The Expedition Trail will be a combined trail and boardwalk that will take advantage of the park's marine estuary and island property, supporting a guided walk and stations and ultimately connecting to surrounding system of regional parks and trails. In summation, the battleship hull repair, park renovation, and construction of the nature trail will provide: 1. Provided needed repairs to the Battleship • Repairing the deteriorating hull to prevent the potential for oil/water mixture that is used to ballast inside the ship from entering the ship's basin. • Treating stormwater runoff from the parking lot area that currently flows untreated into the ship basin. 2.

In response to the Navy's demands for repairs, the Commission and the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources (NCDCR) began researching methods to repair the hull and came to the conclusion that the least impact to the environment and an economical viable means for repairs was to install a permanent cofferdam surrounding the hull for in -place dry docking, which is a method approved by the Navy. The use of a permanent coffer dam would provide for a safe work environment, provide an easier means to access the hull for future repairs, and double as a support structure over which a new Memorial Walkway could be constructed. The Commission and NCDCR also reviewed the need for additional improvements to the Battleship Memorial Park, which would improve stormwater runoff management, site safety, public access, and public education. As a result, in addition to the coffer dam and new proposed Memorial Walkway, the project will include a new visitor center to replace the aging piling -supported existing center, realignment of the existing bulkhead in the ship basin, a public dock facility, an elevated walkway along the Northeast Cape Fear River shoreline, a new parking lot with stormwater management improvements, and a new amphitheater, all of which will be located outside of AECs. The proposed cofferdam will be installed by driving sheet piles through the sediments (i.e., pluff mud) in the ship basin and into the underlying Castle Hayne aquifer formation using a vibratory hammer. Once the cofferdam is installed, dewatering within the cofferdam will be accomplished through de -watering well points. Once the area within the cofferdam is sufficiently de -watered, and the pluff mud has subsided, a trench will be excavated around the hull to provide access for repairing the hull plates. Workers will use a sand blaster with a HEPA vacuum attachment to remove the remaining paint where torch cuts will be made. Storage tanks and/or liquids inside the hull that could be affected by the repair work will be removed prior to torch cutting activities. New steel plating will be welded together where sections where are removed. Appropriate marine paint will be used to coat the new steel once in place. Where hull plating is structurally sound, the steel plates will be reconditioned through corrosion RECEIVED removal and re -painting. DEC 8 0 2014 Subsequent to repairing the hull, manually -operated weirs built within sections of the M?7K10%WM rats cofferdam will be used to allow the flow of water around the vessel, preventing stagnation. A total of six weirs with openings approximately 5 feet wide each, are proposed around all sides of the cofferdam that allow tidal water inflow to each side of the ship to provide sufficient circulation of tidal water into the cofferdam to maintain the Primary Nursery Area associated with the ship basin. The permanent presence of the cofferdam will also improve public safety by isolating the high -voltage corrosBF—C E l V E D protection system present around the hull from kayakers and other boatersDCM WILMINGTON, NC DEC 1 8 2014 USS NC Hull Repair and Park Improvements SWE Project No. 4305-14-078 Wilmington New Hanover County, North Carolina December 11. 2014 The Memorial Walkway will be constructed on top of the cofferdam on the south side of the Battleship. On the north side of the Battleship, existing mooring lines hang too low for the walkway to be constructed over the cofferdam, thus the walkway was re-routed northward of the mooring dolphins. The proposed walkway width is 14 feet but it will be elevated approximately 11 feet above the marsh substrate and water surface thus negating shading concerns of the underlying wetlands. The walkway will include a quarterdeck located south of the Battleship that can be used for ceremonies and two covered pavilions that will provide educational areas for fieldtrips and shaded areas for visitors to take refuge from the weather. The walkway will be free to the public and accessible without entering the ticketing portion of the park (i.e. battleship tours). The covered pavilions and quarterdeck will both be located entirely over water. The walkway along the Northeast Cape Fear River will extend pedestrian access south along the Northeast Cape Fear River shoreline. The walkway and associated structures will be pile supported and the covered pavilions will be located over existing rip -rap. The proposed width of 14 feet will allow for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance and will mirror with the existing Wilmington Riverwalk located directly across the Northeast Cape Fear River. A new concrete or capped sheet pile bulkhead is proposed, which will replace the existing bulkhead present along the south shore of the ship basin. The current bulkhead is not linear along the shoreline and has recesses which create an eddy, which creates conditions where tidally -transported sediments settle in the ship basin. The new bulkhead will result in a straighter alignment along the south shore, which may facilitate tidal sediment transport and help reduce the amount of sediment around the battleship. The realignment of the bulkhead will result in a net no -loss of water in the basin. Prior to constructing the new visitor center, the existing center will be demolished and the new center will generally be constructed within the footprint of the existing visitor center and adjacent to the proposed new bulkhead discussed in the paragraph above. The new visitor center will be located within the 30-foot setback for non -water dependent uses; however, this should be considered redevelopment and, in our opinion, is being RECEIVED constructed within an Urban Waterfront per 15A NCAC .07H.0202(g). The two-story DEC 3 0 7014 building will consist of office space for the battleship staff, a ticket booth, gift shop, cafeteria and event space. Velm4mm!!) em The public dock facility will consist of a 10-slip floating dock system for transient boats and a ferry landing for water taxis accessing the park from downtown Wilmington. In addition, a dock master's office with restrooms will be constructed land side allowing access management to the boat docks. The dock system will consist of the main pier with three finger piers that will extend out of the mouth of the ship basin and into the Northeast Cape Fear River channel. The dock system will be of sufficient width to comply with ADA requirements. All pile supported structures will be located outside of the Northeast Cape Fear River harbor line and outside of the federally -maintained shipping channel. Having the finger piers extend into the channel will likely prevent the need for dredging in the location of the boat docks. RECEIVED DCM WILMINGTON, NC DEC 1 8 204 USS NC Hull Repair and Park Improvements S&ME Project No. 4305-14-078 Wilmington New Hanover County, North Carolina December 11, 2014 The parking lot renovation will include expanding and raising the existing parking lot three to four feet to address periodic flooding during storm events. The renovation of the parking grade will include removal and replacement of several live oak trees that are currently dying due to the flooding. The new parking lot will consist of permeable pavement with subsurface infiltration chambers to manage stormwater runoff from the parking lot, thereby mitigating untreated stormwater runoff that currently drains directly into the ship basin. A total of 363 spaces are proposed. It should be noted that the expansion will occur in an area formerly used for dredge disposal so the entire parking lot renovation should be considered redevelopment. Plans also include the construction of the Expedition Trail, a nature trail/boardwalk connecting to the Memorial Walkway and boat docks. The proposed width of the trail is 9 feet and will be elevated approximately 9 to 10 feet over the marsh substrate, thus negating shading concerns for the underlying wetland. The Expedition Trail will incorporate recreation and environmental education related components that can be experienced year-round and particularly in association with special events. The Expedition Trail will be a combined trail and boardwalk that will take advantage of the park's marine estuary and island property, supporting a guided walk and stations and ultimately connecting to surrounding system of regional parks and trails. In summation, the battleship hull repair, park renovation, and construction of the nature trail will provide: 1. Provided needed repairs to the Battleship • Repairing the deteriorating hull to prevent the potential for oil/water mixture that is used to ballast inside the ship from entering the ship's basin. • Treating stormwater runoff from the parking lot area that currently flows untreated into the ship basin. 2.

Activities and impacts' �' a. Will the project be for commercial, public, or private use? ®Commercial ®Public/Government ❑Private/Community b. Give a brief description of purpose, use, and daily operations of the project when complete. The purpose of the project is to complete the repair of the degraded steel hull as being required by the US Navy. This will be done via installation of a permanent cofferdam around the enfire ship. Future maintenance is anticipated thus the cofferdam will remain in place. The remaining improvements are being constructed to upgrade existing facilities, and improve the public benefit, safety and educational aspects of the battleship. Ongoing siltation issues and flooding issues will also be addressed, at least partially. The battleship will continue to function as a public park/attraction once complete. The proposed Memorial Walkway around the ship and covered pavilions will provide increased viewing of the battleship without an admission fee, along with the educuational opportunity to experience the tidal marsh system along the Cape Fear River, which will be further enhanced by the proposed Expedition Trail that will extend into the marsh north of the ship basin. The proposed bulkhead realignment will help reduce siltation by lessening the eddying effect of the current bulkhead alignment along the south shoreline of the ship basin. The proposed walkway/bulkhead along the Cape Fear River shoreline will provide safer, improved public access to the shoreline. The public docking facilities will allow for access to the park for boaters. The new visitor center will include office space for battleship employees, safer ingress/egress to the ship, and public meeting space. The current parking lot will be paved and raised approximatley 3-4 feet with subsurface infiltration chambers present beneath it for stornwater treatment. The new park will provide improved public space for concerts, festivals and other public events. c. Describe the proposed construction methodology, types of construction equipment to be used during construction, the number of each type of equipment and where it is to be stored. The hull repair will be performed using a permanent cofferdam installed around the entire ship. The cofferdam will be installed using a vibratory hammer to drive the sheet piles into the underlying Castle Hayne formation. The weirs on the cofferdam will be raised/closed and water present within the cofferdam will be removed prior to hull repair. The pluff mud present will be allowed to settle and this will be the working surface. A trench will be dug around the hull to expose the portion subject to the tidal range. The hull coatings will be removed using sandblasters with HEPA fikers and sections will be cut out and replaced. The replaced hull will be coated and painted and once dry, the weirs will be opened to allow flow around the ship. The Memorial Walkway and Expedition Trail will be pile -supported structures. Piles will be installed via traditio�t� installation techniques (i.e. vibatory hammer and/or a pile driving hammer) for the Walkway and most likely by hani tdr�for the Trail. JAN + F 2015 The bulkhead will be sheet pile and pre -cast concrete that will be installed using mechanical equipment. v� a_on n v The visitor center will be a two-story building constructed of wood, metal and glass and will be pile -supported. Convential pile driving techniques will be used to install the piles. The parking lot will be constructed using permeable pavement with subsurface infiltration trenches for stormwater RECE treatement. The entire parking lot will be raised 3 to 4 feet to alleviate flooding.

The main pier extending from the shore will be connected to the driven piles and the finger piers will be connected to the main pier. The finger pier will be floating. The associated dock master's office and restrooms will be wood structures constructed on at - grade concrete slabs. The amphitheater will be constructed outside of the AEC along the Cape Fear River shoreline and will consist of a wood structure with a raised stage. d. List all development activities you propose. Development will include construction of the cofferdam, walkway and pavilions around the ship, the nature trail over the marsh adjacent to the north, the floating dock facility at the mouth of the ship basin, the new bulkhead along the south shoreline of the boat basin, an elevated walkway along the Northeast Cape Fear River shoreline, a new visitor center, an amphitheater, and a renovated parking lot with stormwater treatment. e.

RECEIVED JAN 15 2015 DCM-MHD CITY MEMORANDUM To: Curt Weychert From: Michael Christenbury, Wilmington District Planner Subject: Consistency Determination, Major Permit Application, — NC Dept. of Cultural Resources, USS NC Battleship - New Hanover County Date: May 12, 2020 No land use plan changes have taken place since the original permit was issued for this project. This project is consistent and not in conflict with the New Hanover County Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The applicant proposes to repair the USS NC Battleship hull, construct a memorial walkway and upgrade existing facilities. The project is located on the west side of the Cape Fear River across from downtown Wilmington in New Hanover County. Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC's) impacted by the proposal are CW, EW, ES and PT. Waters at the project site is classified as SC 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 2006 Wilmington -New Hanover County Joint Land Use Plan and offer the following comments. The general area of the project is classified as Developed. In general, Wilmington -New Hanover County allows development in Conservation classified AECs, which is consistent with the State's minimum use standards. The 2006 Wilmington -New Hanover County Joint Land Use Plan contains some policies, which exceed the State's minimum use standards, including those for dredging. However, none of these standards appear to be applicable to this proposal. This project is consistent with the 200 Wilmington -New Hanover County Joint Land Use Plan.

Department of Cultural Resources for the N.C. Battleship Park, 101 U.S.S. N.C. Battleship Rd. (NC Hwy 421), New Hanover County, North Carolina. The Federal agencies have completed review of the proposal as presented by the application and your field investigation report. We recommend that the following conditions be included in the State authorization: 1. All work authorized by this permit must be performed in strict compliance with the attached plans, 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 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 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 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 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, relocation, or alteration. RECEIVED MAR 02 gn1 PGM-!giros Cm -2- 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. Except as specified in the plans attached to this permit, no excavation, fill or mechanized land -clearing activities shall take place at any time in the construction or maintenance of this project, in such a manner as to impair normal flows and circulation patterns within waters or wetlands or to reduce the reach of waters or wetlands. 5. The docks, piers, and walkways extending over wetlands will be elevated sufficiently (a minimum of 3 feet) above the wetland substrate to prevent total shading of vegetation, substrate, or other elements of the aquatic environment. 6. Except as authorized by this permit or any USACE approved modification to this permit, 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. 7. Unless otherwise authorized by this permit, 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. 8. 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 Quality 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. 9. The authorized structure and associated activity must not interfere with the public's right to free navigation on all navigable waters of the United States. 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 reason other than safety. RECEIVED MAR 0 2 2015 �'M!1-tI11HFl PITY -3- 10. 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. 11. All excavated materials will be confined landward of the mean high water level elevation contour and any vegetated wetlands. 12. All excavated materials will be confined landward of the mean high water level elevation contour within adequate dikes or other retaining structures to prevent spillover of dredged materials into any vegetated wetlands or surrounding waters. 13. If the permittee discovers any previously unknown historic or archeological remains while accomplishing the authorized work, he will immediately notify the Wilmington District Engineer who will initiate the required coordination procedures. 14. The permittee shall advise the Corps in writing at least two weeks prior to beginning the work authorized by this permit and again upon completion of the work authorized by this permit. 15. Approval of the structure was based on determinations that there would be no obstruction to navigation. Under conditions existing in the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIW W), a possibility exists that the structure may be damaged by wave wash from passing vessels. Unreasonable slowing down of vessel traffic cannot be required because it would tend to nullify the navigational benefits on which the AIW W was justified. Issuance of this permit should not be construed, as relieving the permittee of taking proper steps to insure the structure and moored boats will not be damaged by wave wash normally to be expected in the AIW W. 16. A No Wake Zone will not be approved for this project after construction is complete. 17. 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. RECEIVED MAR 0 2 7w, DCM-MHD CITY KIN 18. 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 I I3A Article 4). 19. 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. 20. 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. 21.

Department of Cultural Resources for the N.C. Battleship Park, 101 U.S.S. N.C. Battleship Rd. (NC Hwy 421), New Hanover County, North Carolina. The Federal agencies have completed review of the proposal as presented by the application and your field investigation report. We recommend that the following conditions be included in the State authorization: 1. All work authorized by this permit must be performed in strict compliance with the attached plans, 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 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 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 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 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, relocation, or alteration. RECEIVED MAR 0 2 2015 Mm4dHo CITY I -2- 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. Except as specified in the plans attached to this permit, no excavation, fill or mechanized land -clearing activities shall take place at any time in the construction or maintenance of this project, in such a manner as to impair normal flows and circulation patterns within waters or wetlands or to reduce the reach of waters or wetlands. 5. The docks, piers, and walkways extending over wetlands will be elevated sufficiently (a minimum of 3 feet) above the wetland substrate to prevent total shading of vegetation, substrate, or other elements of the aquatic environment. 6. Except as authorized by this permit or any USACE approved modification to this permit, 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. 7. Unless otherwise authorized by this permit, 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. 8. 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 Quality 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. 9. The authorized structure and associated activity must not interfere with the public's right to free navigation on all navigable waters of the United States. 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 reason other than safety. RECEIVED MAR 02 2015 11OM-MAP, prry -3- 10. 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. 11. All excavated materials will be confined landward of the mean high water level elevation contour and any vegetated wetlands. 12. All excavated materials will be confined landward of the mean high water level elevation contour within adequate dikes or other retaining structures to prevent spillover of dredged materials into any vegetated wetlands or surrounding waters. 13. If the permittee discovers any previously unknown historic or archeological remains while accomplishing the authorized work, he will immediately notify the Wilmington District Engineer who will initiate the required coordination procedures. 14. The permittee shall advise the Corps in writing at least two weeks prior to beginning the work authorized by this permit and again upon completion of the work authorized by this permit. 15. Approval of the structure was based on determinations that there would be no obstruction to navigation. Under conditions existing in the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW), a possibility exists that the structure may be damaged by wave wash from passing vessels. Unreasonable slowing down of vessel traffic cannot be required because it would tend to nullify the navigational benefits on which the AIWW was justified. Issuance of this permit should not be construed, as relieving the permittee of taking proper steps to insure the structure and moored boats will not be damaged by wave wash normally to be expected in the AIWW. 16. A No Wake Zone will not be approved for this project after construction is complete. 17. 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. RECEIVED MAR 0 2 1491"2MH0 CITY r -4- 18. 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 I I3A Article 4). 19. 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. 20. 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. 21. 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. 22.

The North Carolina Administrative Code requires any project that proposes more than 10,000 square feet of new built -upon area, or is part of a larger common plan of development, or that must receive Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan approval for the disturbance of more than 1 acre, or that must receive a CAMA Major permit, to apply for and receive a Stormwater Management Permit from the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources. Please understand that the NPDES 010000 Federal Construction Stormwater Permit that is issued with the Erosion Control Plan approval letter is NOT the same as a Coastal Stormwater Management Permit. Any construction on the subject site, prior to receipt of the required Coastal Stormwater permit, will constitute a violation of 15A NCAC 2H.1000 and may result in appropriate enforcement action by this Office. Therefore, either a Stormwater Permit Application Package including 2 sets of plans, completed application form, fee, and supporting documentation, or a written response regarding the status of this project and the expected submittal date, must be received in this Office no later than May 10, 2015. Failure to respond to this request may result in the initiation of enforcement action, and construction may experience a subsequent delay. If the project is located within the jurisdiction of any local govemment holding an NPDES post -construction stormwater permit issued by the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources, please contact that unit of local government and submit the stormwater application to them.

It appears through on -site visits and review of historical aerial photography that the majority of the impacts for these proposed structures along this area of the Cape Fear River would be located along a shoreline currently usurped by existing structures. The cofferdam would include six (6) manually operated weirs approximately 5' in width built within all the sections of the cofferdam would be used to allow the flow of tidal water around the vessel, to prevent stagnation. It is the staffs recommendation that the memorial and riverfront walkways, associated platforms, and proposed upland redevelopment and new development along this on the riverfront is CONSISTENT with the Rules of 15 NCAC 7H.0209 (g) Urban Waterfronts and the City of Wilmington/New Hanover County Joint 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan. The project site is also along part of a larger re -development plan for the downtown area outlined in the Wilmington "2020 Vision Plan". Re -development during the late 1990's and early 2000's of the Wilmington Urban Waterfront went through comprehensive efforts between the City and several property owners, who through their cooperation with the City staff proposed a revitalization project which has incorporated public trust access in accordance with the enacted law predicated by House Bill No. 1059: GS 113A-120(a)(1) and (a)(2). The additional width of the proposed walkways would seem necessary to provide safe public access and is not expected to significantly degrade the coastal marsh underneath. The proposed docking facility would provide public access and transient docking space for up to ten (10) vessels. It appears that the project is CONSISTENT with the use standards set forth in NCAC 07H .0208(b)(6), including the '/a width rule. Further, the proposed Riverwalk does not encroach into the Wilmington Harbor Line; however, the access piers and floating dock do encroach into the Wilmington Harbor Line. The application states that pilings for the proposed floating dock would be located just landward of the Wilmington Harbor Line; however, the floating dock and half the fixed access piers would extend into the Wilmington Harbor Line. The application states that these structures are designed to be removed if required by the USACE. This office has no objection to the proposed work, provided it is consistent with all other state and federal permitting requirements. Any permit issued should include the following conditions: 1. The permittee will maintain the authorized work in good condition and in conformance with the terms and conditions of this permit. The permittee is not relieved of this requirement if he abandons the project without having the permit transferred to a third -party. 2. No sewage, whether treated or untreated, shall be discharged at any time from any boats using the marina/docking facility. Any sewage discharge at the marina/docking facility shall be considered a violation of this permit for which the permittee is responsible. This prohibition shall be applied and enforced throughout the entire existence of the permitted structure. Continued recommended conditions on next page RECEIVED DEC A 0 7^,4 Drh$1'"H f f :RV 3. This permit authorizes only the docks, piers, and other structures and uses located in or over the water that are expressly and specifically set forth in the permit application. No other structure, whether floating or stationary, may become a permanent part of this marina/docking facility without permit modification. No non -water dependent uses of structures may be conducted on, in or over public trust waters without permit modification. 4. The permittee will maintain the authorized work in good condition and in conformance with the terms and conditions of this permit. The permittee is not relieved of this requirement if he abandons the permitted activity without having it transferred to a third party. 5. This permit does not authorize the interference with any existing or proposed Federal project, and the permittee will not be entitled to compensation for damage to the authorized structure or work, or injury which may be caused from existing or future operations undertaken by the United States in the public interest. 6. The alignment of the authorized bulkhead must be staked by a representative of the Division of Coastal Management within a maximum of 30 days prior to the start of construction. Failure to initiate construction within 30 days, or erosion of the shoreline by adverse weather conditions will require the alignment to be restaked by DCM within a maximum of 30 days prior to the new expected start of construction. 7. The bulkhead/rip-rap must be structurally tight so as to prevent seepage of backfill materials through the structure. 8. In order to protect water quality, runoff from the construction must not visibly increase the amount of suspended sediments in adjacent waters. 9. All construction must conform to the N.C. Building Code requirements and all other local, State and Federal regulations, applicable local ordinances and FEMA Flood Regulations. 10. Any change or changes in the plans for development, construction, or land use activities will require a re-evaluation and modification of this permit. 11. A copy of this permit shall be posted or available on site. Contact this office at (910) 796- 7215 for a final inspection at completion of work. 12. The permittee is required to contact the DCM Representative at (910) 796-7215 shortly before he/she plans to begin construction to arrange a setback measurement that will be effective for sixty (60) days barring a major shoreline change. Construction must begin within sixty (60) days of the determination or the measurement is void and must be redone. 13. All buildings constructed within the ocean hazard area shall comply with the NC Building Code, including the Coastal and Flood Plain Construction Standards of the N. C. Building Code, and the Local Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance as required by the National Flood Insurance Program. If any provisions of the building code or a flood damage prevention ordinance are inconsistent with any of the following AEC standards, the more restrictive provision shall control. 14. All unconsolidated material resulting from associated ground disturbance shall be retained on site by effective sedimentation and erosion control measures. Disturbed areas shall be vegetatatively stabilized (planted and mulched) within 14 days of construction completion. No dune disturbance is authorized under this permit. Continued recommended conditions on next page RECEIVED DEC X"'' DCM—UHU S blv NOTE: This permit does not eliminate the need to obtain any additional state, federal or local permits, approvals or authorizations that may be required. NOTE: Future development of the permittee's property may require a modification of this permit.

RECEIVED DEC .10 71`114 DCM-MHD CITY Howell, Jonathan From: Crumbley, Tyler SAW <Tyler.Crumbley@usace.army.mil> Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2015 10:58 AM To: Howell, Jonathan Subject: Proposed Conditions for USS NC Upgrades/Repair 2010-00175 Jonathan, Below are the proposed conditions. A hard -copy of these will be sent to Doug today. -Tyler We recommend that the following conditions be included in the State authorization: 1. All work authorized by this permit must be performed in strict compliance with the attached plans, 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 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 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 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 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, relocation, or alteration. 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. Except as specified in the plans attached to this permit, no excavation, fill or mechanized land -clearing activities shall take place at any time in the construction or maintenance of this project, in such a manner as to impair normal flows and circulation patterns within waters or wetlands or to reduce the reach of waters or wetlands. 5. The docks, piers, and walkways extending over wetlands will be elevated sufficiently (a minimum of 3 feet) above the wetland substrate to prevent total shading of vegetation, substrate, or other elements of the aquatic environment. 6. Except as authorized by this permit or any USACE approved modification to this permit, 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. 7. Unless otherwise authorized by this permit, 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. 8. 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 Quality 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. 9. The authorized structure and associated activity must not interfere with the public's right to free navigation on all navigable waters of the United States. 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 reason other than safety. 10. 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. 11. All excavated materials will be confined landward of the mean high water level elevation contour and any vegetated wetlands 12. All excavated materials will be confined landward of the mean high water level elevation contour within adequate dikes or other retaining structures to prevent spillover of dredged materials into any vegetated wetlands or surrounding waters. 13. If the permittee discovers any previously unknown historic or archeological remains while accomplishing the authorized work, he will immediately notify the Wilmington District Engineer who will initiate the required coordination procedures. 14. The permittee shall advise the Corps in writing at least two weeks prior to beginning the work authorized by this permit and again upon completion of the work authorized by this permit. 15. Approval of the structure was based on determinations that there would be no obstruction to navigation. Under conditions existing in the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW), a possibility exists that the structure may be damaged by wave wash from passing vessels. Unreasonable slowing down of vessel traffic cannot be required because it would tend to nullify the navigational benefits on which the AIW W was justified. Issuance of this permit should not be construed, as relieving the permittee of taking proper steps to insure the structure and moored boats will not be damaged by wave wash normally to be expected in the AIW W. 16. A No Wake Zone will not be approved for this project after construction is complete. 17. 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. 18. 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). 19. 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. 20. 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. 21. 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. 22. 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 http://www.fws.gov/nc-es/mammal/manatee_guidelines.pdf. 23. An as built survey of the authorized structure will be provided to our office for review of navigation concerns. 24. Prior to commencing construction of the authorized dredging or other work within the right-of-way of, or in proximity to, a federally maintained navigation channel, the Permittee shall obtain a Consent to Cross Government Easement from our Real Estate Division.

The applicant proposes to repair the US NC Battleship hull, construct a memorial walkway and upgrade existing facilities. The project is located on the west side of the Cape Fear River across from downtown Wilmington in New Hanover County. Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC's) impacted by the proposal are CW, EW, ES and PT. Waters at the project site is classified as SC 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 2006 Wilmington -New Hanover County Joint Land Use Plan and offer the following comments. The general area of the project is classified as Developed. In general, Wilmington -New Hanover County allows development in Conservation classified AECs, which is consistent with the State's minimum use standards. The 2006 Wilmington -New Hanover County Joint Land Use Plan contains some policies, which exceed the State's minimum use standards, including those for dredging. However, none of these standards appear to be applicable to this proposal. This project is consistent with the 200 Wilmington -New Hanover County Joint Land Use Plan.

Dunn, Coastal Region Coordinator Habitat Conservation Program DATE: September 29, 2014 SUBJECT: Environmental Assessment for USS North Carolina Coffer Dam Installation, New Hanover County, North Carolina, OLIA No.15-0165 Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) reviewed the environmental assessment (EA) with regard to impacts of the project on fish and wildlife resources. Our comments are provided in accordance with the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (G.S. 113A-I et seq., as amended; I NCAC-25), provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.), Coastal Area Management Act (G.S. 113A-100 through 113A- 128), as amended and Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act (as amended). The EA presents a proposal to install a permanent coffer dam around the USS North Carolina to allow hull repair and reconstruction. After hull repair, the coffer dam will remain to allow for future repairs to the ship as needed. In addition to the coffer dam installation, a boardwalk will be constructed atop the coffer dam and connect the shores of the basin, extending a nature walkway to Eagle Island. Once the above improvements are made, a new visitor center, amphitheater, bulkhead replacement, parking, and stormwater treatment area will be constructed. The EA states a sediment curtain will be installed at the mouth of the bay to minimize turbidity in the Cape Fear River as sheet piles are installed via vibratory hammer. It is assumed that since water levels within the basin at low tide are new non-existent with pluff mud coupled with the cathodic protection system that extends from the battleship, minimal loss of public trust use will occur, RECEIVED The Cape Fear River at this location.is designated as coastal waters and as a primary nursery area (PNA) JAN 15 1015 by the NC Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF).

Skvarts, III Secretary A North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (DCM) Fisheries Resource Specialist has reviewed the subject Environmental Assessment for proposed actions that impact fish and fish habitats. The purpose of the project Is to construct a permanent cofferdam around the battleship in its current position on the Cape Fear River in Wilmington. This portion of the river is designated Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the North Carolina Marine Fisheries Commission. Primary Nursery Areas are essential for post -larval and juvenile species of finfish, crabs and shrimp because they afford food and protection duringa vulnerable period Of their life cycle. To protect such sensitive areas, Coastal Resources Commission rules prohibit most new dredging in PNA because the properties and conditions that allow the area to perform as PNA would no longer exist if dredging occurred. As discussed in my May 30, 2014 scoping comments and or June 11, 2014 scoping meeting, building a cofferdam has the potential to prohibit fish access to nursery habitat and impair water circulation/quaitty, resulting In the area no longer functioning as PNA. Cofferdam design should include openings large enough to allow for adequate fish access and water flow. The weir openings should be greater in number, spread around the cofferdam, and open throughout the depth of water column at that'location. Please include detailed drawings of the cofferdam, the openings, and the anticipated post -construction depths in and outside of the cofferdam areas when submitting your CAMA application package.

Battleship hull, construct a memorial walkway and upgrade existing facilities. NC Department of Cultural Resources- USS NC Battleship Hull Repair and Battleship Park Improvements Page Two 9. PROJECT The U.S.S. N.C. Battleship Memorial Park is located on Battleship Drive, off US Hwy. 421, on the west bank of the Cape Fear River, on Eagle Island, in New Hanover County. To locate the site from the Wilmington Regional Office (WiRO) travel south on Market Street (U.S. HWY 17) until you reach Martin Luther King, Jr. Parkway (N.C. HWY 74), which will be located on the right. Turn right and travel west approximately 3.5 miles until you arrive at North 3rd Street in downtown Wilmington. Turn right onto the Isabel Holmes Bridge over the Northeast Cape Fear River until you reach the light at U.S. HWY 17. Turn left on U.S. HWY 17 and travel south approximately I mile until you reach U.S.S. N.C. Road and continue until you reach the U.S.S. N.C. Battleship facility and parking area, which will be located on the left (See Figure 1). The U.S.S. N.C. Battleship was brought to its Wilmington berth in 1961. The U.S.S. N.C. Battleship Commission has obtained several permits over the years for maintenance dredging of the basin and other facility modifications. These include State Permits #109-78, #66-88, #20-84 and #75-02. The. approximately 49 acre property includes a visitors center, parking area, a small maintenance building/yard and a temporary equipment access ramp to the battleship. The highground area is maintained with lawn grasses and there are rows of mature oak trees between the sections of the parking lot. The visitors center is constructed on pilings and is located partially over open water on the south side of the basin. It includes an elevated wooden observation walkway and access bridge to the battleship. The southern portion of the basin and the riverfront (eastern) shoreline of the property is stabilized with various rip rap materials; large granite stone along the riverfront, and smaller rock, concrete and masonry materials within the basin. Except for the southwest comer of the basin, there are no coastal wetlands along the alignment of the existing rip rap. In this area, the rip rap profile is slightly lower than other areas and allows more frequent tidal overwash, allowing Spike Grass (Distichlis spicata), Sea Lavender (Limonium spp.) and one small patch of Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina alterni,/lora) to establish along the shoreline. There is a small existing access pier and floating dock in the southeastern area of the basin, which facilitates the on/off loading of visitors ferried over from the downtown Wilmington area (See Figure 2). The northern and western portion of the tract, between the basin and U.S. Hwy. 421, is mostly wetlands and species include; Salt Reed Grass (Spartina cynosuroides), Narrow -leaf Cat -tail (Typha angustifolia), and Saw Grass (Cladium spp.). Above tidal influence, the vegetation transitions to wooded swamp (§ 404 type wetlands), including Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum), Black Willow (Salix nigra), Silverling (Baccharis halimifolia), and Comman Reed (Phragmites australis), Common Cat -tail (Typha latifolia), Narrow -leaved Cat -tail (Typha angustifolia), Bull Rush (Scirpus spp.), and other wetland species. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) issued a Notice of Jurisdictional Determination (Action ID SAW — 2010-00175 dated March 11, 2010 (See Sheet A1.0 and Project Narrative). The City of Wilmington/New Hanover County Joint 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan classifies adjacent waters as Conservation, and the adjacent high ground portion of the project area as Developed. The waters of the Cape Fear River are classified SC by the Division of Water Resources. They ARE designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries and they are CLOSED to the harvest of shellfish. The USACE federally maintained channel and associated Wilmington Harbor is located adjacent to the project site. PROPOSED PROJECT: RECEIVED The applicant proposes to repair the U.S.S. N.C. Battleship hull, construct a WriMaRalkway and upgrade existing facilities. In 2009, the U.S. Navy required a plan to address the raI repairs required for the battleship or submit a plan to scrap the battleship. The N.Division of Coastal Management (DCM) issued CAMA General Permit #54561-D on June 16, 2010 to the applicant to allow for temporary floating docks to facilitate an emergency repair to a portion of the starboard hull based on the demands of the U.S. Navy. -- NC Department of Cultural Resources- USS NC Battleship Hull Repair and Battleship Park Improvements Page Three The application states that a cofferdam, measuring approximately 1,785 linear feet would be permanently installed around the entire ship's hull. The application states the cofferdam would allow the contractor to properly repair the critically damaged hull per the requirement of the U.S. Navy. The application states the cofferdam sheet piles would be driven down within the substrate and into the underlying Castle Hayne aquifer a distance of approximately 50' and would be located approximately 4.28' above the mean high water (MHW) boundary. Once the cofferdam is installed, dewatering within the cofferdam would be accomplished through well points. Once the dewatering and the substrate or "mud pluff' has subsided, a trench would be excavated around the hull to provide access for repairing the hull plates. Once the repairs to the ship's hull is complete, six (6) manually operated weirs each approximately 5' in width would be built within all the sections of the cofferdam and would be used to allow the flow of tidal water around the vessel, to prevent stagnation. The application also states the cofferdam would also improve public safety by isolating the high -voltage corrosion protective system currently located around the hull from kayakers and other vessels (See Sheets A1.2 through AlA, BDS-03 and BDS-04 and Project Narrative). Once the hull repairs are complete, a new memorial walkway would be constructed on top of the cofferdam on the southern side of the Battleship. On the northern side of the Battleship, existing mooring lines currently hang too low for the proposed walkway to be constructed over the cofferdam, thus the walkway would be oriented northward of the existing mooring lines. The proposed walkway would measure approximately 1,985' in length by 14' in width and approximately I V in height above the wetland substrate. The walkway would also include an uncovered platform/quarterdeck located on the southern end of the walkway, measuring approximately 140' in length by 20' in width and two (2) covered pavilions, each measuring approximately 30' in length by 20' in width, which would provide educational areas for field trips and shaded area for visitors to take refuge from the weather. These pavilions would also be located entirely over open water (See Sheets AM through AM and Project Narrative). The application states, a pile supported walkway would also extend along the Cape Fear River shoreline for pedestrian access, measuring approximately 730' in length by 12' in width, which would terminate onto a covered platform, measuring approximately 32' in length by 28' in width towards the south. The application states that the walkway would be pile supported over the existing rip rap shoreline and allow for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance and would mirror the existing Downtown Wilmington Riverwalk located along the other side of the Cape Fear and Northeast Cape Fear River. The application states, a new amphitheater stage would be constructed within the open area located on the eastern portion of the property, currently being utilized for festivals and concert events (See Sheets Al.1 and A1.2 and Project Narrative). The application also proposes an additional elevated walkway (Eagle Island Expedition Trail) for the purpose of a nature trail/boardwalk to be located within the wetland area north of the battleship, measuring approximately 2,303' in length by 10' in width. The walkway would include covered and uncovered platforms to provide outdoor classrooms and overlooks along the shoreline of the river. The majority of the walkway would be located above the MHW boundary and elevated entirely over the existing wetlands, which would exceed the 6' in width limitation; however, the majority of the existing wetlands in this area consist primarily of §404 type vegetation, including Common Reed (Phragmites australis), aforementioned. The application states that the structure would be elevated approximately 10' above the substrate to lessen potential shading impact in this area of wetlands (See Sheets A144mugh AM and Project Narrative). DEC 10 1014 The applicant proposes to construct a new 540 linear foot sheet pile bulkhead with a concretehNo4v waterward of the existing bulkhead located along the south shore of the ship basin. The apphcatton states that the bulkhead would have an average distance of approximately 35' with a maximum distance of approximately 70' waterward of the existing bulkhead. The application also states that an area of highground above the MHW boundary approximately 6,832 sq. ft. would be excavated, which would allow the MHW boundary elevation to reach the proposed bulkhead. Once this excavated material is removed and dewatered onto highground, it would be utilized as a backfill source of the new bulkhead. -i . NC Department of Cultural Resources- USS NC Battleship Hull Repair and Battleship Park Improvements Page Four The application states the current bulkhead is not linear along the shoreline has recesses and creates an eddy, which creates conditions where tidally -transported sediments settle in the ship basin. Further, the proposed bulkhead would result in a straighter alignment along the south shore of basin and with the removal of the highground area waterward of the bulkhead, which may facilitate tidal sediment transport and help reduce the amount of sediment around the battleship (See Sheets A1.2 through AIA, BDS-02 and Project Narrative). Upland development would include a new visitors center. The application states that the existing visitors center would be demolished and a new center would be constructed within the same footprint adjacent to the new bulkhead, aforementioned; however, the proposed building would be located entirely above the MHW boundary. The two-story building would consist of office space for the battleship staff, a ticket booth, gift shop, cafeteria and event space. The application also states that the existing elevated bridge from the visitors center to the battleship would be replaced in compliance with the ADA. The parking areas would be replaced and raised to address periodic flooding during storm events. The application states the proposed elevation of the new parking areas would range from approximately 3' to 4' above the existing grade and constructed with permeable pavement with subsurface infiltration chambers to manage stormwater runoff. The application states the existing parking areas currently drains into the ship basin. The application also states that a total of 363 parking spaces are proposed, and that the expansion area to the north of the existing parking area is within and area that has been previously utilized a spoil location (See Sheets ALL through AIA and Project Narrative). The applicant also proposes to replace the existing docking facility with a new public ten (10)-slip facility. A fixed pier, measuring approximately 180' in length by 14' in width would extend from the southern side of the ship basin towards the north. Access ramps would lead onto three (3) floating finger docks, each measuring approximately 75' in length by 14' in width and spaced approximately 35' to 50' apart and would extend perpendicular from the access pier and shipping channel within the ship basin. The application states that these docks would accommodate transient vessels, to include canoe and kayak access. Another floating dock, measuring approximately 210' in length and ranging from 20' to 40' in width would be located on the southern end of the docking facility, which would follow the shoreline as it turns towards the south, creating an "L-shaped" configuration. The application states that this floating dock would replace the existing floating dock currently utilized by the ferry boat from downtown Wilmington. Due to the proximity of the Federal channel in this location of the Cape Fear River, the pilings for the proposed floating dock would be located just landward of the Wilmington Harbor Line; however, the floating dock and half of the fixed access piers would encroach into the Wilmington Harbor Line. The application states that these structures are designed to be removed if required by the USACE. The proposed floating dock would provide side to transient slips for up to 10 vessels. The existing water depths in the location of the proposed floating docks range from approximately -3' to -28' @ normal low water (NLW). The applicant states that there are no services proposed such as fuel, maintenance, etc. In addition, the application states that a dock master's office with restrooms would be constructed landward side of the shoreline of the docking facility to allow access management to the docks. The application states the proposed dock system would also be of sufficient width to comply with ADA requirements (See Sheets A1.0, through AM and Project Narrative). The applicant submitted an Environmental Assessment (EA) with Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) to document compliance with the N.C. State Environmental Protection Act (SEPA) and submitted it for review through the N.C. Department of Administration State Environmental Review Clearinghouse. The applicant also held a scoping meeting at the N.C. U.S.S. Battleship facility on June 11, 2014 with the interested review agencies. RECEIVED 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS DEC A 0 "14 DGK�-nnNn+w+y The proposed permanent cofferdam would incorporate approximately 1,785 sq. ft. of Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area and would also be excavated of approximately 17,850 sq. ft. of shallow bottom material to allow for the repair of the battleship hull in an area previously excavated. � A NC Department of Cultural Resources- USS NC Battleship Hull Repair and Battleship Park Improvements Page Five The cofferdam would include six (6) manually operated weirs, each measuring approximately 5' in width built within all the sections of the cofferdam and would be used to allow the flow of tidal water around the vessel, to prevent stagnation. The proposed elevated memorial walkway and associated covered platforms would incorporate a total of approximately 31,790 sq. ft. of Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area, essentially within an area of the existing ship basin which has been usurped with the existing battleship. The proposed walkway would shade approximately 5,460 sq. ft. of Coastal and §404 wetlands type vegetation, which consists primarily of Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina alterniora) and Comman Reed (Phragmites australis). The proposed elevated Eagle Island Expedition Trail would incorporate approximately 600 sq. ft. of Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area and would shade approximately 23,030 sq. ft. of §404 wetlands type vegetation which Comman Reed (Phragmites australis), Common Cat -tail (Typha latifolia), Narrow -leaved Cat -tail (Typha angustifolia), Bull Rush (Scirpus spp.) and other wetland species. The proposed walkway and the covered platform along the Cape Fear River shoreline would incorporate approximately 9,656 sq. ft. of highground area. The proposed shoreline stabilization would impact approximately 7,153 sq. ft. of Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area, essentially within an area of the existing ship basin which has been usurped with the existing battleship. The proposed highground excavation to facilitate circulation with the ship basin would impact approximately 6,832 sq. ft. of highground, essentially creating the same amount of sq. ft. of Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area. The proposed upland redevelopment and new development would impact approximately 261,360 sq. ft. of highground area. As proposed, the docking facility would incorporate approximately 14,670 sq. ft. of Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area. These structures would conform to the 1/4 distance rule; however, the floating docks would encroach into the Wilmington Harbor Line. The application states the fixed support pilings of the floating docks would not encroach into the Wilmington Harbor Line and that these floating structures are designed to be removed if required by the USACE. The proposed floating docks would provide transient slips for up to ten (10) vessels within existing water depths ranging from approximately -3' to -28' @ NLW. Minor increases in turbidity should be expected during the dredging event; however no long term adverse impacts are anticipated. RECEIVED DEC 80 2014 DCM-MWM t`.I Submitted by: Robb L.

Dunn, Coastal Region Coordinator Habitat Conservation Program DATE: September 29, 2014 SUBJECT: Environmental Assessment for USS North Carolina Coffer Dam Installation, New Hanover County, North Carolina. OLIA No.15-0165 Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) reviewed the environmental assessment (EA) with regard to impacts of the project on fish and wildlife resources. Our comments are provided in accordance with the North Carolina Environmental Policy AM (G.S. 113A-1 et seq., as amended; I NCAC-25), provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 at seq.), Coastal Area Management Act (G.S. 113A-100 through 113A- 128), as amended and Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act (as amended). The EA presents a proposal to install a permanent coffer dam around the USS North Carolina to allow hull repair and reconstruction. After hull repair, the coffer dam will remain to allow for future repairs to the ship as needed. In addition to the coffer dam installation, a boardwalk will be constructed atop the coffer dam and connect the shores of the basin, extending a nature walkway to Eagle Island. Once the above improvements are made, a new visitor center, amphitheater, bulkhead replacement, parking, and stormwater treatment area will be constructed. The EA states a sediment curtain will be installed at the mouth of the bay to minimize turbidity in the Cape Fear River as sheet piles are installed via vibratory hammer. It is assumed that since water levels within the basin at low tide are near non-existent with pluff mud coupled with the cathodic protection system that extends from the battleship, minimal loss of public trust use will occur.

Generally speaking, activities in these important marine areas adhere to a moratorium to minimize impacts to important marine, estuarine, and anadromous fish species. The EA proposed mitigation for these impacts by installing a sediment curtain at the mouth of the bay. While this will minimize turbidity levels in the river, the vibratory hammer installation of sheet piles may still create an auditory barrier for anadromous migration. Therefore, NCWRC will support any measures by the NCDMF or NOAA to minimize impacts to coastal resources. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this EA.

Skvada, III Secretary A North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (DCM) Fisheries Resource Specialist has reviewed the subject Environmental Assessment for proposed actions that impact fish and fish habitats. The purpose of the project is to construct a permanent cofferdam around the battleship in Its current position on the Cape Fear River in Wilmington. This portion of the river is designated Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the North Carolina Marine Fisheries Commission. Primary Nursery Areas are essential for post -larval and juvenile species of finfish, crabs and shrimp because they afford food and protection during a vulnerable period of their Iffe cycle. To protect such sensitive areas, Coastal Resources Commission rules prohibit most new dredging in PNA because the properties and conditions that allow the area to perform as PNA would no longer exist if dredging occurred. As discussed in my May 30, 2014 scoping comments and or June 11, 2014 scoping meeting, building a cofferdam has the potential to prohibit fish access to nursery habitat and impair water circulation/quality, resulting in the area no longer functioning as PNA. Cofferdam design should include openings large enough to allow for adequate fish access and water flow. The weir openings should be greater in number, spread around the cofferdam, and open throughout the depth of water column at thatlocation. Please include detailed drawings of the cofferdam, the openings, and the anticipated post -construction depths In and outside of the cofferdam areas when submitting your CAMA application package. Please feel free to contact Jessi Baker at (252) 808-2808 ext. 213 or lessi.baker@ncdenr.gov if you have any further questions or concerns. RECEIVED DEC 3 0 71114 4DO Commerce Ave., Morehead City.

MARME FISHE51E5 From Bob Pittman Subject App. for State PERMIT - NC Battleship Commission 12-28-77 Location - New Hanover County - Wilmington Investigative process - App. rec. Raleigh 12-29-77; Morehead 14-78. Made rou- tine inspection of project site 1-30-78 and req. info. 2-6-78. Met app's engineer on site 2-8-78. Rec. modified app. 5-4-78. Environmental setting - Project consists of USS North Carolina berthing space on the west side of the Cape Fear River at Wilmington. The project consists of the 1,080' long by 275' wide basin in which the Battleship USS North Carolina is moored. The property on the south side of the battleship consists of grassed high ground which is utilized for parking and a "visitor" grandstand area. The property on the north and west sides of the battleship consist of wetlands dominated by cat- tails (Typha), common reed (Phragmites communis). Project description - The Commission, in order to aesthetically improve the boat basin area on each side of the battleship, proposes to maintain the existing basin. The proposed maintenance, to be conducted by hydraulic dredge, will involve the re- moval of some 24,000 cu.yds. of spoil material in order to xhieve a depth of 9' MLW. The resulting spoil is to be pumped to two diked highground disposal areas. The first area is located at the SW corner of the basin, with the second area located adjacent to Cape Fear River at the SE corner of the basin. Both areas consist of grassed high ground. Environmental impact - The proposed work appears to be maintenance dredging with no new work to be done. The proposed disposal areas consist of gradsed high ground and will involve no wetlands. The intended operation will create some minor short term turbidity. CAMA Review - No permit needed -- maintenance.
