BISER Secretary KATHY B. RAWLS Director R. TZIV1FED Gregg Bodnar, NCDCM Assistant Major Permits Coordinator James Harrison, NCDMF Fisheries Resource Specialist DEC 11 2022 Margaret Janes, Dare County t!P SECTION IVIA DATE: 1 September 2022 A North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) Fisheries Resource Specialist has reviewed the permit application for proposed actions that may impact fish and/or fish habitats. The proposed project is located at 1804 Bay Drive, Kill Devil Hills, within Dare County. The applicant is proposing to construct a vinyl bulkhead that will tie into existing bulkheads on the neighboring properties. The proposed alignment will average 1.5' waterward of the normal water line (NWL) with a maximum distance of approximately 2' waterward. A total area of proposed backfill is approximately 1,206.5 square feet. The applicant is also proposing to construct a 125' by 5' pier with no platform or other docking facility. Water depths within the proposed development range from 1.75' (nearshore) to 3.5' at the end of the proposed pier. The location of the proposed work has a historical record of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV). During site visits conducted by DCM staff, no SAV was reported to be growing within the proposed bulkhead area, but a small amount was present in the area of the proposed pier. Additionally, the waters of Colington Creek are designated as Secondary Nursery Area (SNA). Areas designated as SNA provide the specific habitat requirements necessary for juvenile development of many commercially, recreationally, and ecologically important species. Nursery areas that feature habitats such as SAV are even more important, as they provide additional features such as foraging and refuge. Taking the above into consideration, DMF recommends that the permit include a moratorium of 1 April through 30 September for all in -water work. This will minimize potential impacts to species that use Colington Creek as nursery area. Inclusion of this moratorium will also minimize potential impacts to SAV, as work would be completed outside of the active growing season. Light is one of the most important aspects for SAV to continue to thrive. As such, DMF would also recommend that the design of the dock include light -penetrating materials/designs, such as wider gaps between dock boards and/or slotted materials that allow greater light penetration than wood. Thank you for consideration of our comments and concerns. Please contact Jimmy Harrison at (252) 948-3835 or at james.harrisona clp denngov with any further questions or concerns.
