Dear Sir:
GARIAND B. GARRETT JR.
SECRETARY
OCT 2 4 1997
The NCDOT-Ferry Division plans to perform maintenance dredging at our ferry facility at
Cherry Branch on the Neuse River, Craven County, NC.
Approximately 30,000 yd' of sandy material will be removed from the approach channel and
deposited in the spoil site adjacent to the ferry basin. This project is tentatively scheduled to begin
on or about October 29, 1997. There will be no dimensional changes.
If you have any questions, please contact me at my office at Hatteras, (919-986-2136).

This letter will confirm our April 29, 1986, meeting with Mr. Dennis
Spitsbergen of the Division of Marine Fisheries concerning the au-
thorization of dredging within the time period specified as re-
quiring approval from this office of Condition No. 7 of Permit No.
257 which authorizes the dredging activity.
As we discussed, due to the location of the dredge in Neuse River,
it does not seem that it will have significant adverse impact to
the juvenile shrimp populations which are now recruiting in that
area. Therefore, the dredging can be permitted until May 23, 1986,
at which time you should either.stop dredging or obtain further ap-
proval from this office.
If you have any questions concerning this or any other matter, please
contact me at my Morehead City office.

This letter will confirm your April 7, 1986, telephone conversa-
tion with Mr. Charles Jones of our office concerning the dredging
schedule for the operation at the Cherry Branch Ferry Terminal
adjacent to the Neuse River near Cherry Point, Craven County.
The purpose of the conversation was to requesta time ion
for the dredging beyond the time indicated in Permit 25
issued 7-5-85.
The matter was discussed with Mr. Dennis Spitsbergen, Division of
Marine Fisheries and he has indicated that it would not be detri-
mental to the fisheries of the area to allow the dredging to con-
tinue until May 1, 1986.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact
me at my Morehead City office.

MEMORANDUM TO - John Parker
From Nelson Paul
Subject Req. for Renewal -
DOT, Cherry Branch
DCM Morehead City, NC
May 17, 1985
Maintenance dredging
Ferry Terminal
0
We have been asked to consider (under No. 3 of the Renewal Criteria)
the authorization of an expired Dredge & Fill Permit (No. 257) to
authorize dredging of the existing access channel being used by DOT
in their ferry service between Minnesott Beach and Cherry Branch.
The project will involve the access channel in Neuse River and will
involve the excavation of 15,000 cu.yds. over a 2100' long by 150,
wide channel. The spoil area will be adjacent to NC Hwy. 306 and
the remaining portion of Cherry Branch.
I have inspected the spoil area and there is room for this to be ex-
panded to the SE which is on the opposite end of the water control
structure, and a considerable amount of the existing. spoil inside the
dike will be utilized in the new dike construction. I request, how-
ever, that it be made a condition.....
that representatives from this office be permitted to inspect the
dike and the water control structures prior to project initiation.
The project is expected to have some minor adverse impact to the adja-
cent waters with the increased turbidities which are associated with
such projects, and also the physical destruction of whatever benthic
organisms may exist in the sediments that have settled in the channel.
We consider these impacts to be minor, and necessary in order to con-
tinue the uninterrupted service of the ferry.
I recommend the project be authorized with the previous permit condi-
tion together with the above mentioned new condition. Call me if there
is any problem in handling this project in this manner.
Nelson Paul

Dear Charlie:
I had a conversation today with your dredge operator, Joe Gaskill, con-
cerning Permit No. 275 which allows maintenance dredging at Cherry Branco
on the Neuse River. Specifically, Mr. Gaskill inquired as to whether
or not Condition No. 7 of the permit (prohibiting dredging April 1
through September 30, due to maturing shrimp populations), could be
lifted so that work might commence on the project.
1 have talked with our R&D biologists about this proposal, and am hereby
notifying you that Condition No. 7 of State Permit 257 is deleted, thus
permitting dredging to commence at your discretion.
If additional information is required, or I may be of further assistance,
feel free to contact me.
