RE: CAMA Permit No. 2-96
Dear Mr. Hines:

�EHNFI
This is in reference to the letter I received from your contractor,
T.D. Eure Construction Company, dated June 11, 1996, concerning
your desires to modify your CAMA Permit. According to the letter,
you wish to modify the configuration of the permitted pier by
rotating the floating dock section of the pier by 90 degrees. This
rotation would not change the permitted footprint and would not
extend any further out into Gallants Channel. Additionally, the
structure(s) would not be located any closer to the adjacent
property owners areas of riparian access. I also understand from
your contractor that with the approval of this modification you
wish to withdraw your request to use explosives to remove material
from the bottom of Gallants Channel.
Please be advised that CAMA Permit No. 2-96 is hereby refined to
allow for the relocation of the structure as described in your
contractors letter (and accompany plat) dated June 11, 1996.
Please attach this letter to your permit so that it may be made
available to Department personnel when making routine monitoring
inspections of the project site.
Sincerely, r

Re: Mr. John Hines

Dear Mr. Jones:
As agent for Mr. Hines, we would like to request a refinement to the referred
permit. Mr. Hines would like to rotate the floating dock section of his pier
90 degrees. This would enable him to approach his slip and moor from a west to
east position. This rotation would not change the permitted footprint or encroach
on the permitted riparian property offsets. The square footage of the structure
will remain the same as well.
Your consideration of this request is appreciated.
Sincerely,
C.B. Bissette, Jr.

Dear Mr. Parker:
Reference the request of John Hines for a modification of his existing
Department of the Army and North Carolina Division of Coastal Management
permits. The modification request involves the use of explosives to blast an
area of hardpan within the area of nonvegetated shallow bottom 140 feet long
by 50 feet wide which Mr. Hines is presently excavating to create a boat
basin. This site is located in Gallants Channel, on Taylors Creek, at
110 Ann Street in Beaufort, Carteret County, North Carolina.
The Federal agencies have completed review of the proposal as presented
by the application and your field investigation report. By telephone
conversation of May 21, 1996, the National Marine Fisheries Service objected
to the use of explosives at this site due to the potential adverse impacts to
Federally threatened and/or endangered sea turtles, and to marine and
estuarine species which may be inhabiting the area.
Based on this objection, we recommend denial of the modification
request.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Jeff Richter, Wilmington

2nd. Minor modification request to CAMA Permit #2-96 issued to John
Hines/Carteret County
April 29, 1996
Enclosed, please find a request and a drawing from T.D. Eure Construction Company, Inc.,
contractor for Mr. John Hines, requesting CAMA Permit #2-96 be modified to allow
emulsion gel explosive material to be used to break up a hardpan layer encountered at the
site. The hydraulic dredge working on the project ran into a layer of hardpan material,
measuring approximately 40' long x 40' wide, and were unable to cut through. The
contractor is proposing to hire an underwater demolition expert to place emulsion gel
explosives to break up the hardpan material and then dredge the area to its permitted depth.
I would have no objections to the proposed project.

Re: John Hines Project
Permit 2-96
Dear Mr. Pigott:
In the process of dredging for the referenced permit, Mr. King of King Dredging,
has encountered a layer of hardpan material which he cannot penetrate with the
cutterhead on his dredge. Mr. Hines has consulted an explosives expert
regarding this problem and proposes to impact the hardpan with a 10 lb.
emulsion gel explosive. The charges will be placed on a grid approximately 6'
on centers; drilled into the hardpan which is 2' - 3' thick. Charges will be
detonated one at a time. Current water depth in this area is -2 MLW.
Mr. Hines proposes to set one charge to monitor the effects of the explosive,
which should be very minor in terms of overall impact and noise. The loosened
material will then be removed by hydraulic dredge.
Your consideration of this request is appreciated.
Any questions regarding this may be directed to Mr. John Hines at
1-800-800-3631 or Mr. Carter Ellis 1-919-444-5392.

IM4OF.ANDOM
TO: John Parker
FROM: David L. Taylor-}/.'
DATE: May 1, 1996
SUBJECT: Beaufort Dredging Project
As mentioned in our telephone conversation yesterday, the Division of
Marine Fisheries' principal concern in removing the area of "hardpan" material
from the project site with explosives is the unknown effect the concussion may
have on fish, marine mammals and sea turtles present in the area. Not being an
explosives expert, I am unable to determine the impact of the explosion on tha
surrounding area or the marine life.
sea turtles are present in the vicinity of Beaufort Inlet during this time
of year as are dolphins, which are calving at this time, We relaved those
concerns to Vickie Thayer, a National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Research
Biologist with the Marine Stranding Network, and she contacted Ron Sechler with
NMFS, and a "marine mammal person" in St. Petersburg, FL.' They too are most
concerned that the contractor obtain tha proper federal permits and protect the
endangered species present.
That is the present situation. The Division certainly opposes any lvu� Iiy-
obtained modification to the permir. while these marine mammal concerns remain
unanswered and befor> rye permitts-, goes through the proper channels to satisfy
any federal requirements that may exist.
