Subject Hwy. Cpp. for C&D Permit - Aug. 12, 1970
This application is for dredging on both sides of Neuse River near Cherry Point and
near Minnesott Beach to provide ferry service between the two points. I have in-
spected the plan carefully. Doug Ringer met with kRC biulogist Jack Donnelly on
September 1 and inspected the proposed terminal site near Cherry Point.
The project specifications for the Minnesott 3each site indicate dredging of the
approach channel and most of the turning basin will be within the river, with a
100-ft. wide slip approximately 120 feet long dredged landward of the present
shoreline. The 46,600 yards of spoil would be confined on land in an existing non -
tidal are4;ome 2 1/3 acres. Vegetative species composition of this low lying area
has not been determined. Development of this site as proposed should have minimal
effects on fishing values of the area, provided suitable spillways are provided to
reduce siltation from the effluent.
The site near Cherry Point involves dredging an approach channel nearly 1/2 mile
long in the river which would merge with a turning basin and harbor to be dredged
within the adjacent land area. The land area to he dredge-1 involves some 9 acres
of an existing small drainage area known as Cherry Branch, e+lthough of indefinite
proportions, the project map indicates some uncontained disposal of dredged material
in the river adjacent to the proposed channel, some along the shore on both sides
oflthe entrance channel, and some in the Cherry Branch drainage area beside and im-
mediately upstream of the basin. Unrestrained disposal in the river proper will remove
a definitive portion of the fisheries habitat and cause excessive siltation over a
much greater area. , concerted effort should be made to pump this material to ade-
quate retaining areas either along the shore or as near shore as is reasonably possi-
ble. Such confining of spoil materials would not only substantially reduce habitat
loses, but should also effectively reduce future maintenance costs.
Cherry Branch is a relatively small stream, usually less than 10 feet in width. There
are some pools and eddies caused by normal shoaling and fallen trees. The drainage
area is larger than previously suspected, and comprises a typical and picturesque
hardwood swamp. Various land drainage and reclamation projects are eliminating areas
of this type from the .American scene at a rate alarming to most conservationists and
wildlife enthusiLsts.

-2-
There remain some questions as to whether normal stream runoff will be im-
pounded above the spoil materials to be located around the proposed basin.
Adequate consideration of someeaffected,fish.and.wildlife values will be some-
what dependent upon the nature of upstream changes.
The need for an established ferry service across the Neuse River at this point
is recognized, and is further emphasized by a reported privabb passenger service
(apparently not authorized) now operating to and from.the marine -base at its'Han-
cock Creek Marina landing. In summary, some damaging effects to the fishery re-
source will occur. These however can be significantly, reduced if serious consi-
deration is given,to:,
1. placement of all spoil material either on land, along the shore -line, or
as near shore as is feasible, and
2. reasonable retention of all spoil in adequately confined and spillway areas.
