PROJECT SETTING
The applicant, NC Wildlife Resources Commission, recently acquired from the County
of Dare, a 9.08 acre forested tract at the western end of SR 1129 (Bowsertown Road) near
Manteo, in Dare County. The 580' long northern boundary of the rectangular -shaped parcel
fronts a 50' wide, 3,500' long canal off Croatan Sound. Lying across the canal north of this
site is additional Dare County land, approximately 15 acres of which is being used as a
landfill. Lying west of this site are undeveloped forested lands also owned by the County.
The eastern boundary of the subject property abuts land owned by the Town of Manteo,
which operates its new municipal sewage treatment plant within a 5-acre clearing located
200' from the common property line. West of and parallel this common property line is a
60' wide access easement retained'by Dare County. Within this easement is an old pathway
which has recently been improved with a 22' wide clay/soil base. At the southern end of the
soil road there is a privately owned parcel currently being developed for single family
residential use. The northern end of the soil road intersects Bowsertown Road.
The elevation of the 9 acre tract is approximately 2' - 3' above mean sea level.
Representatives of the US Army Corps of Engineers have delineated 3.83 acres of Section
404 jurisdictional wetlands within 2 separate areas. All of the highground is contiguous and
comprises approximately 5.25 acres. Highground vegetation includes loblolly pine and
various species of oak. Wetland vegetation consists of sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciflua),
loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), red maple.(Acer rubrum), red bay (Persea borbonia) and bald
cypress (Taxodium distichum).
Waters of the Croatan Sound in the vicinity of this project are classified SA by the NC
Division of Environmental Management and are closed to shellfishing.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant proposes to develop a public boating access facility on the highground
area by constructing the following:
• Two 14' x 50' concrete launch ramps in a narrow area of highground adjacent
the canal and within canal waters about 6.5' deep.
• Three 6' wide wooden courtesy docks approximately 50' long (on the outsides of
each ramp and in the middle of the two ramps).
9 Approximately 110 linear feet of wooden bulkhead adjoining the outside docks.
• A 22' wide access road, parking for 30 vehicles/trailers and a maneuvering area.
The road, parking spaces and maneuvering area will be surfaced with aggregate
base course.

r NC Wildlife Resources Commission
Bio Report
Page Three
• A 10' x 48' concrete apron to connect the ramps to the maneuvering area.
ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
Approximately 280 square feet of shallow water habitat will be lost by the construction
of the two concrete ramps 10' beyond existing NWL. Approximately 228 square feet of
public trust waters will be shaded by the wooden docks. Four thousand square feet of area
within the Estuarine Shoreline Area of Environmental Concern will be covered by
impervious surfaces. Approximately 37,000 square feet of highground located outside the
Estuarine Shoreline will be covered by stone surfacing. Some localized turbidity will result
from the bulkheading and other construction activities in and adjacent the canal.
The project will provide small boat access from the west side of Roanoke Island to
Croatan Sound.
No archeological/historical significance has been associated with this site. No unique
remnant species or geological formations are known to exist within the project area.

of a valid request for certification in accordance with Section 325.2(b)(ii)
of our administrative regulations.
We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have determined that a water
quality certification is required under the provisions of Section 401 of
the same law. A Department of the Army permit will not be granted until
the certification has been obtained or waived.
According to our administrative regulations, 60 days is reasonable for
State action. Therefore, if you have not acted on the request, or asked for an
extension of time, by October 28, 1996, the District Engineer will deem that
waiver has occurred.

SUBJECT: Major Permit Request by NC Wildlife Resources Commission to Construct
Concrete Ramps, Bulkhead, Courtesy Docks and Access/Parking Adjacent to
Bowsertown Road, Near Croatan Sound, Dare County
DATE: September 4, 1996
The applicant proposes to construct two concrete boat ramps, 110 feet of bulkhead and three
50 foot long courtesy boat docks along with an entrance road and 30 vehicle/trailer parking
spaces off of a canal which connects to Croatan Sound. Anticipated impacts include 280
square feet of shallow water habitat filled and 228 square feet of Public Trust Waters shaded
associated with the boat ramps and docks; about 4,000 square feet of Estuarine Shoreline
Area of Environmental Concern will be covered with impervious surface; and, over 37,000
square feet of Highground outside of the AEC will be covered by semi -impervious stone
surfacing resulting in a wooded and wetland wildlife habitat area loss of almost an acre..
Consistency Comments: The Dare County 1994 Land Use Plan certified by the CRC on July
29, 1994 was reviewed to consider a determination. The following policy is applicable:
b. Estuarine Shoreline: Policy 2.1.2(d-1), page 55.

NCWRC Bowerstown Road RQ
The County Land Classification Map identifies the site area as "Community". Dare County's
mapping does not delineate all AEC's and other wetland areas. However text within the Land
Use Plan, recognizes the areas as qualifying for the "Conservation", classification.
Determination: Based on the above policy, the project can be determined to be consistent
with the Dare County Land Use Plan
Project Environmental Assessment: The conclusion of the Assessment prepared by
NCWRC is that the benefits of the project, including enhanced public utilization of Estruarine
resources, outweigh the loss in habitat and wetland area. Currently there are no public
boating access facilities in western Roanoke Island. I agree that the benefits outweigh the
adverse impacts of the project, and there is not a reasonable on -site alternative design concept
which reduce environmental issues associated with the project. Since the project is for public
benefit using public land, off -site alternatives, pursuit of other sites would not meet the goals
and objectives of the project's of NCWRC.

PROJECT SETTING
The applicant, NC Wildlife Resources Commission, recently acquired from the County
of Dare, a 9.08 acre forested tract at the western end of SR 1129 (Bowsertown Road) near
Manteo, in Dare County. The 580' long northern boundary of the rectangular -shaped parcel
fronts a 50' wide, 3,500' long canal off Croatan Sound. Lying across the canal north of this
site is additional Dare County land, approximately 15 acres of which is being used as a
landfill. Lying west of this site are undeveloped forested lands also owned by the, County.
The eastern boundary of the subject property abuts land owned by the Town of Manteo,
which operates its new municipal sewage treatment plant within a 5-acre clearing located
200' from the common property line. West of, and parallel this common property line is a
60' wide access easement retained by Dare County. Within this easement is an old pathway
which has recently been improved with a 22' wide clay/soil base. At the southern end of the
soil road there is a privately owned parcel currently being developed for single family
residential use. The northern end of the soil road intersects Bowsertown Road.
The elevation of the 9 acre tract is .approximately 2' - 3' above mean sea level.
Representatives of the US Army Corps of Engineers have delineated 3.83 acres of Section
404 jurisdictional wetlands within 2 separate areas. All of the highground is contiguous and
comprises approximately 5.25 acres. Highground vegetation includes loblolly pine and
various species of oak. Wetland vegetation consists of sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciflua),
loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), red maple (Acer rubrum), red bay (Persea borbonia) and bald
cypress (Taxodium distichum).
Waters of the Croatan Sound in the vicinity of this project are classified SA by the NC
Division of Environmental Management and are closed to shellfishing.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant proposes to develop a public boating access facility on the highground
area by constructing the following:
• Two 14' x 50' concrete launch ramps in a narrow area of highground adjacent
the canal and within canal waters about 6.5' deep.
• Three 6' wide wooden courtesy docks approximately 50' long (on the outsides of
each ramp and in the middle of the two ramps).
• Approximately 110 linear feet of wooden bulkhead adjoining the outside docks.
• A 22' wide access road, parking for 30 vehicles/trailers and a maneuvering area.
The road, parking spaces and maneuvering area will be surfaced with aggregate
base course.

NC Wildlife Resources Commission
Bio Report
Page Three
• A 10' x 48' concrete apron to connect the ramps to the maneuvering area.
ANTICIPATED IlVIPACTS
Approximately 280 square feet of shallow water habitat will be lost by the construction
of the two concrete ramps 10' beyond existing NWL. Approximately 228 square feet of
public trust waters will be shaded by the wooden docks. Four thousand square feet of area
within the Estuarine Shoreline Area of Environmental Concern will be covered by
impervious surfaces. Approximately 37,000 square feet of highground located outside the
Estuarine Shoreline will be covered by stone surfacing. Some localized turbidity will result
from the bulkheading and other construction activities in and adjacent the canal.
The project will provide small boat access from the west side of Roanoke Island to
Croatan Sound.
No archeological/historical significance has been associated with this site. No unique
remnant species or geological formations, are known to exist within the project area.

Environmental Assessment
Bowsertown Boating Access Area
Croatan Sound off SR 1129 near Manteo
Dare County, North Carolina
This document is prepared as an Environmental Assessment (EA) in compliance with
Section .0500 of the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act of 1971 (1 NCAC 25; G.S. 113A-
1 et seq., as amended). The purpose of this EA is to analyze the environmental impacts
associated with the proposed construction of a new boating access area on western Roanoke
Island, in Dare County, North Carolina (Figure 1).
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) is proposing
construction of a new boating access area off SR 1129 (Bowsertown Road) on Roanoke Island
west of Mantco (Figure 1). The access area would be located on an existing 50 ft. wide canal and
include twin boat ramps, 3 fixed pier treated lumber courtesy docks, vehicle/trailer parking and
maneuvering area, and an entrance road. The area would provide needed small boat access from
Roanoke Island to Croatan Sound.
Current land uses for properties adjoining the proposed project site are under public and
private control. Dare County owns property on the 2 western sides of the site. Dare County's
land is forested to the southwest, but includes a landfill and wastewater treatment facility to the
northwest. The Town of Manteo has property to the northeast that is largely forested with some
government buildings. Low density residential development is currently underway on the M.K.
Fearing tract to the southeast.
PROJECT NEED
Increasing demands for public recreational boating and sport fishing opportunities
underscores the need for the NCWRC to develop additional public boating access areas.
Requests for new access areas are received on a regular basis in addition to requests for
modification of existing facilities to alleviate congestion and overcrowding. The Boating Safety
Act (G.S. 75A -1 et seq.) contains provisions for funding expenditures to purchase or lease areas
for construction of new boating access facilities [G.S. 75A-3(c)].
The proposed Bowsertown Boating Access Area is located on a tract of land off SR 1129
(Bowsertown Road) providing access to Croatan Sound via an existing canal. The project site
can be easily reached from U.S. highway 64/264 (Figure 1). Land for the project has been

deeded to the NCWRC by Dare County. The NCWRC plans to construct a new boating access
facility at this site to enhance public access to boating, fishing, and hunting opportunities in
Croatan Sound: Currently, there are no NCWRC boat ramps on western Roanoke Island.
ALTERNATIVES
The project objective is to construct a facility providing enhanced public boating access
to Croatan Sound from Roanoke Island. The NCWRC neither owns nor leases land elsewhere on
western Roanoke Island. Consequently, alternatives to the proposed project were not considered
as none were available that would accomplish the project objective.
ENVIRONMENTAL DESCRIPTION
The project site totals 9.08 acres in area. Of this total, .94 acres are proposed for
development. The site is entirely wooded except for a 24 ft. wide unimproved county road that
traverses the the property within a 60 ft. wide Dare County easement. The easement area
coverage is adjacent to the northeast property boundary
High rg ound: The highground area of the property is shown in Figure 1 and comprises
5.25 acres. Most of the dirt path traversing the property occurs on highground. Vegetation
includes loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) and various oak (Quercus) species.
Wetlands: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) has delineated 3.83 acres of
Section 404 jurisdictional wetlands as shown in Figure 1. "Wetland A" is crossed by the existing
dirt path. "Wetland B" is separated from "Wetland A" by highground. Site wetland vegetation
includes red bay (Persea borbonia), sweet gum (Liquidambar styracii lua), red maple (Acer
rubrum), loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), and bald cypress (Taxodium distichum).
Fisheries Resources: Waters of Croatan Sound adjacent to the project site are classified
SA by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management. Some freshwater fish
species are expected to occur in the upper reaches of the canal near the site and may include
pumpkinseed (Lepomis gibbosus), largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), yellow perch
(Perca flavescens), and white perch (Moron americana). Estuarine species known to occur in
Croatan Sound include spot (Leiostomus xanthurus), croaker (Micropogonias undulatus), bay
anchovy (Anchoa mitchilli), southern flounder (Paralichthys lethostigma), summer flounder (P.
dentatus), weakfish (Cynoscion regalis), spotted seatrout (C. nebulosus), and red drum
(Sciaenops ocellatus). Commercially important invertebrate species include the Penaeid
shrimps, blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) and eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica). The
.common rangia clam (Rangia cuneata) is very abundant in the project area.
Wildlife Resources: The presence of relatively undisturbed wooded wetlands and
highground near surface water (canal) combine to form high quality wildlife habitats at the
project site. Mammalian species expected to use the area include; raccoon (Procyon lotor),
opossum (Didelphis virginianus), rabbit (Sylvilagus spp.), muskrat (Ondatra zibethica), mink
(Mustela vison), gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus

virginianus). Reptiles utilizing the site might include diamondback terrapin (Malaclemys
terrapin), snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina), mud turtles (Kinosternon spp.), pond turtles
(Clemmys spp.), and assorted snakes such as the copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix), water
moccasin (A. piscivorus), rat snake (Elaphe obsoleta), and various water snakes (Nerodia spp.).
In addition to a number of songbirds, avian species may include the red -shouldered hawk (Buteo
lineatus), great horned owl (Bubo virginianus), barred owl (Strix varia), screech owl (Otus asio),
and American woodcock (Philohela minor). Waterfowl such as the mallard (Anas
platyrhynchos), black duck (A. rubripes), and wood duck (Aix sponsa) may also occasionally use
the area.
Cultural Resources: So far as is known, no cultural or archaeological resources occur on
the access area site. The North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources, Division of Archives
and Historyis being consulted to determine whether the site is of historical significance.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED ACTION
Access road, parking, and maneuvering area: Sheets 1 and 2 provide an overall view of
the project area. Figure 2 emphasizes the access road, parking, and maneuvering area. The
access road is to be routed in such a way as to minimize impacts to surface waters and wetlands.
The road will be superimposed on an existing path as much as possible. The access road, the
parking area, and the maneuvering area will all be located on highground. Both "Wetland A"
and "Wetland B" will be avoided altogether. Parking for 30 vehicles with trailers, including 2
handicapped parking spaces, will be provided. The parking and maneuvering areas will also be
surfaced with crusher run stone.
Boat ramps: Two 14 ft. by 50 ft. concrete launch ramps are to be located in a constricted
area of high ground next to the canal (Figure 1). Cypress trees adjacent to the canal will be left
standing if at all possible. Three courtesy docks are proposed, 2 on the outsides of each ramp
and 1 in the middle (Figure 3). Approximately 110 linear ft. of bulkhead would adjoin the
outside docks. A 10 ft. by 48 ft. concrete apron would connect the boat ramps to the
maneuvering area.
PERMITS REQUIRED
Since Dare County is a coastal county, a State dredge and fill and CAMA major permit
will be required prior to commencement of construction activities. Wetlands are involved, so
401 Water Quality Certification will be necessary from the N.C. Division of Environmental
Management as well as Section 404 permit authorization from the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers. A stormwater management plan must be submitted and approved.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS FROM THE PROPOSED ACTION
Highground: A total of .94 acres of highground would be affected by clearing and
grading for access road, parking area, and boat ramp construction. Tree removal will be held to a
minimum by limiting cutting to areas where actual construction will take place. Project size is
not considered great enough to significantly impact wildlife species using the area, although a
net loss in total available habitat would be realized if the project is completed.
Wetlands:. Both "Wetland A" and "Wetland B" will be avoided altogether. We
anticipate impacts to fish and wildlife resources from this small, unavoidable amount of wetland
fill to be negligible.
Fisheries Resources: Proposed construction may cause short-term increases in
sedimentation and turbidity in the adjacent canal. These impacts will be minimized by erosion
control measures and stormwater management features described in their respective plans. Once
the access area is constructed, increased boat wakes in the canal may over time erode banks and
cause shoaling, which in turn would induce secondary impacts in the form of elevated turbidity
associated with maintenance dredging.
Wildlife Resources: Of 9.08 acres comprising the project site, .94 acres or 10% of the
total project area would be developed. A portion of the area to be developed already exists as a
dirt path, but a net loss of wildlife habitat would occur.
Cultural Resources: Cultural or archaeological resources are not known to occur on the
site. Consequently, no impacts are anticipated.
MITIGATION FOR UNAVOIDABLE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
Highground: The project would use the footprint of an existing dirt path for access road
construction to the greatest extent possible. Tree removal will be limited to the immediate access
road, parking, and boat ramp areas. No mitigation is proposed for the remaining, unavoidable
impacts.
Wetlands: The project was designed to avoid wetlands wherever possible. Parking and
boat ramp construction are to occur on highground areas. Access road construction is to be
superimposed upon an existing county road at the point where wetlands are crossed to minimize
wetland impacts. No mitigation is proposed.
Fisheries Resources: Implementation of erosion and sedimentation control measures and
prior to construction will minimize adverse impacts to area water quality. The project's only
impervious surfaces that will drain directly into the adjacent canal are the concrete launch ramps.
All other runoff will be directed via sheet flow away from th adjacent canal. No further
mitigation is proposed.

SUMMARY
The NCWRC is proposing to construct twin boat ramps, 3 courtesy docks, a parking and
maneuvering area, and access road on a canal leading to eastern Croatan Sound, near Manteo in
Dare County. Measures have been incorporated into the project design to minimize adverse
environmental impacts
Benefits from the proposed boating access area include enhanced public utilization of the
estuarine resources of eastern Croatan Sound. Use of the access area may also benefit the local
economy in the form of increased retail traffic through commercial establishments.
The NCWRC believes that even though the project will have some adverse impacts to
highground, wetland, and shallow water habitats, these impacts have been minimized through
prudent design measures. We consider public benefits to be sufficiently balanced with adverse
impacts to justify addressing the proposal through this environmental assessment.
