North Carolina Department of Transportation M�%� $ 199g
Ferry Division
Hyde County
Project Setting
The project is located adjacent NC 12 on the north end of Ocracoke Island at the Hatteras -
Ocracoke Ferry Terminal on Cape Hatteras National Seashore (CHNS) property in Hyde County,
North Carolina. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has an easement from
the CHNS for a ferry terminal in this location. NC 12 terminates into a loading loop bordered by
Hatteras Inlet on the north side, the ferry basin on the west side and a public bathroom facility on the
east side. A sandy estuarine beach and dune boarder the basin on the north and south side. A diked
spoil disposal area is also located on the southwest side of the basin. The dunes are vegetated with
sea oats Uniola paniculata_ and American beach grass Ammophila brevili ata. Located onsite is a
f400' x t400' ferry turning basin with metal sheet pile bulkhead on the north and east sides of the
basin. There are three loading slips defined by existing dolphin clusters and loading ramps. Also
located onsite a Ferry Division office building.
Project Description
The applicant proposes to install 2-3 pile dolphin clusters 2.0' waterward of the existing metal
sheet pile bulkhead on the north side of the basin. The purpose of the dolphin clusters will be to
secure auxiliary equipment such as a hydraulic dredge. The clusters will be washed down from a
barge in the basin.
Anticipated Impacts
Environmental impacts from the installation of the clusters will be short term localized
turbidity and additional congestion within the basin area.
