Hawthorn GiV e SUBJECT Kitty Hawk Basin Recommendations DATE : October 9, 1995 The Kitty Hawk Canal flows through a significant coastal marsh. The current channel depths and sediment within the canal, when exposed to daily boat traffic, add significantly to the sediment plume of suspended materials flowing to Kitty Hawk Bay from Kitty Hawk Canal. Removal of these sediments will reduce the suspended solid loads flowing to Kitty Hawk Bay. Therefore, I have no objection to this project and recommend we authorize it subject to the following conditions 1. Go— h.L Ehe_e�x=vated chap �o deeper than the existing a1'^b 2 bxter depths atZ4"6 £�. offshore,^ex vation shall not exceed 5 ft. low-1'NWL. A Division of Coastal Management staff representative shall establish a NWL benchmark prior to any excavation within Public Trust Waters. Y 2. e rmittee shall delineate with stakes, , 3 the channel to bk excavated. This area shall be examined anderified by a staff representative of the Division of Coastal Management prior to any excavation within Public Trust Waters. 3. After dredge channel alignment has been confirmed, the permittee shall commence excavation at the Kitty Hawk Bay and Kitty Hawk Canal confluence and proceed up Kitty Hawk Canal to the north project limit at the High Bridge Creek basin, an approximate distance of 11,400 ft. 4. In order to protect juvenile shrimp and finf' h populations, no excavation will be permitted between February'eand October 31 of any year without the prior approval of the Division of Coastal Management, in consultation with the Division of Marine Fisheries..D,tvA w1LC 5. No marsh, vegetated wetlands or submerged aquatic vegetation will be excavated and/or filled. -- 6. The temporary placement or double handling of excavated or `-� fill materials is not authorized within state waters or vegetated wetlands. 7. No excavation or fill activity shall occur at any time in any marsh or surrounding waters, outside of the alignment of the dredge channel or spoil fill areas as indicated on the 2-16-95 workplats. John Parker September 9, 1995 Kitty Hawk Basin Recommendations Page Two 8. All fill and/or excavated materials will be confined above the NWL and landward of regularly or irregularly flooded marsh or vegetated wetlands behind adequate dikes or other retaining structures to prevent spill -over of solids into any vegetated wetlands or surrounding waters. 9. The diked spoil disposal area will be constructed a sufficient �+ distance from the NWL or any marsh to eliminate the possibility of dike erosion into or upon any marsh, wetlands or surrounding waters. . 10. The spoil disposal area effluent will be contained by pipe, C� trough, or similar device to a discharge point at or beyond the NWL to prevent gully erosion and unnecessary siltation. 11. The terminal end of the influent pipeline will be positioned �( at or greater than fifty feet (501) distance from any part of the dike and a maximum distance from the effluent spillway to allow for maximum settlement of suspended solids. 12. A water control structure will be installed at the intake end 1 of the effluent pipe to control effluent discharge and assure compliance with water quality standards. 13. The spoil disposal area will be properly graded and provided Z a ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion within thirty (30) working days after dike grade completion or project completion. 14. An Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan will be required for b this project. This plan must be filed at least thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of any land disturbing activity. Submit this Plan to the Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources, Land Quality Section, 1424 Carolina Ave. Washington, NC 27889. \ 15. Prior to the commencement of work, the Division of V Environmental Management (DEM) shall approve this project and issue d \c a 401 Certification. Any violation or deviation from the plan approved by DEM will be considered a violation of this LAMA permit. /e -if-- yjl MEMORANDUM TO : John Parker FROM Dennis W. Hawthorn)// ] XJ SUBJECT Kitty Hawk Boat Basin Land -Use Plan Consistency DATE : October 11, 1995 This project involves the maintenance excavation of 14,500 cubic yards of dredge spoil material from the Kitty Hawk Canal. The Town of Kitty Hawk has made a strong commitment to its natural environment. This is reflected in the Town's policies for protection of natural areas as mentioned on page 18 of its LUP : " The Town of Kitty Hawk recognizes that the identification and protection of AECs is one of the central concerns of the Coastal Management Program for North Carolina. Governmental intervention in land development is necessary to assure the proper functioning of physical and biological systems." " The Town of Kitty Hawk will cooperate fully with the appropriate State and Federal agencies to conserve, manage, and protect all the estuarine waters and their vital components." "The Town will work with the appropriate State and Federal agencies in protecting the integrity of all public trust waters within the Town of Kitty Hawk." Further, the plan places all LAMA AECs within the Conservation Land Classification. The Town of Kitty Hawk require that in conservation classed areas 11 Development must take special precautions'to overcome any hazardous conditions and'to maintain the land's intrinsic natural qualities "(pg. 59). These convictions area based on the Town's belief that the natural environment as a recreational, ecological and intrinsically valuable resource is an important component of the Town's economy. John Parker October 9, 1995 Page Two Impacts from this project involve connecting water depths, spoil removal from below the NWL, development adjacent to a significant coastal marsh, and shrimp and finfish populations. According to other reviewing agencies and DCM staff recommendations, connecting water depth concerns will be minimized by restricting dredging depths to 5 feet below the NWL. Finfish and shrimp populations will be adequately protected by prohibiting channel dredging between the dates of February 1 and October 31 of any given year. Provided that this project proceeds with the recommendations contained in my memorandum to you of October 9, 1995, this project will be consistent with the Town of Kitty Hawk Land -Use Plan.

Parker, Jr., DCM Major Permits Coordinator THROUGH: Maury Wolff, Permit Coordinator ) FROM: Sara E. Winslow, Biologist Supervisor�60 SUBJECT: Dare County/OIWC - Kitty Hawk Canal Proposal DATE: October 30, 1995 The following comments by the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries are provided pursuant to General Statute 113-131. Kitty Hawk Bay and its tributaries function as nursery areas for spot, croaker, flounder, shrimp, weakfish, blue crabs and other commercially and recreationally important species. A significant blue crab fishery, both for hard crabs and soft shell shedding operations exist throughout the area. This agency is concerned with the impacts from this maintenance excavation, but approves of it with the following modifications. The proposed excavation involves dredging 11,400 linear feet of the Kitty Hawk Canal, to a depth of -5 ft. The dredging will result in the loss of 306,468 sq. ft. of shallow water habitat, (14,451 cubic yards of material). The canal was cut through an existing marsh. The existing bottom consists of muck and detritus. Due to the existing bottom type, the proposed excavation to -5 ft., and the slope (3:1) coupled with the narrow portions of the canal this agency is concerned with the additional sloughing off of the marsh. The importance of wetlands has been well documented. Wetlands are of great importance to fisheries resources, serving as sources of basic biological productivity, providing food directly and indirectly, and serving as nursery impacts of hydrologic events, moderating stormwater flows, trapping sediments, and providing nutrients for incorporation into resident plants.

Parker, Jr. October 30, 1995 The Division is also concerned with the impacts to the wetlands from the placement of the pipes on the wetlands during excavation. Depending on the length of time required for the project the impacts may increase. If loss of these wetlands occurs mitigation should result, or at least the area should be restored to undisturbed status. Adequate settling time must occur within the diked disposal area prior to effluent being released back into the system. Turbidity levels can have an impact on early juvenile stages of fmfish and invertebrates. The Division request a moratorium associated with the maintenance excavation of the canal. The work should start at the upper end of the project and work toward Kitty Hawk Bay. The requested time period is 15 February through 30 September. This will ensure the environmental integrity of the area is protected during critical times of usage by the previously mentioned species. State of North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources Division of Marine Fisheries James B. Hunt, Jr., Governor Jonathan B. Howes, Secretary Bruce L. Freeman, Director MEMORANDUM TO: John Parker AN.�' �EHNR 2 November 1995 THROUGH: Maury Wolff, Permit Coordinator FROM: P.A. Wojciechowski . , XI SUBJECT: CAMA/DREDGE & FILL Permit Application Dare County/OIWC - Kitty Hawk Canal Proposal The subject permit application has been reviewed and the following comments are provided for your information. I have reviewed a number of permit applications and deeds that purport to convey the property of the Kitty Hawk Canal. I still have concerns about the ownership of the canal area and the areas being used to deposit soil. It is important that the state know who owns the underlining fee of the canal prior to the approval of these permits. The riparian owners listed on the Base Map does not prove ownership. The riparian right is the right of access not ownership. A brief search of our files reveals that only the Perry family may have filed a claim pursuant to G.S. 113-205. None of the claims that we processed were recognized as having a fee in any open water area that was excavated from high ground. Therefore I can only conclude that the fee of the canal lies in the state. This being the case, the state property office can issue a no objection statement. However, if a portion of this canal was in fact excavated from high ground it is imperative that the owner of the bottom of the canal provide OIWC with a document that authorizes this excavation.

Parker, Jr., Coordinator Major Permits Processing Section Division of Coastal Management, DEHNR FROM: Franklin T. McBride, Program Manager Habitat Conservation Program DATE: October 17, 1995 SUBJECT: CAMA/Dredge and Fill Permit Application for the Oregon Inlet Waterways Commission, Kitty Hawk Canal/High Creek Bridge excavation project, Dare County. Biologists with the Wildlife Resources Commission have completed a review of the project with regards to associated impacts on wildlife and fishery resources in the area. A site visit was conducted on October 11, 1995. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Coastal Area Management Act (G.S. 113A-100 through 113A-128), and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.). The applicant proposes to hydraulically maintenance dredge 2.16 miles of Kitty Hawk Canal. The entire project will dredge 410,448 ft2 (9.42 acres) of shallow water habitat in estuarine waters. Waters at the project site are classified as SC and are closed to shellfishing. The waters of Kitty Hawk Bay and its tributaries are considered by the Division of Coastal Management as Public Trust and Estuarine Waters and part of the Estuarine System Area of Environmental Concern. The project as proposed has the potential to adversely affect fish and wildlife habitat in Kitty Hawk Canal and Kitty Hawk Bay. Wetlands such as those found adjacent to proposed dredging activities provide functions that benefit the public as well as fish and wildlife. Kitty Hawk Canal 2 October 17, 1995 Wetlands act as stormwater runoff purification zones between upland areas and surface waters. Wetlands store and convey flood waters and provide shoreline erosion protection through attenuation of wave energy. Wetlands also serve as habitat for numerous species of amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. In some instances, wetlands serve as a spawning and nursery area for anadromous fish. Through deposition of detritus into adjacent waters, wetlands contribute large quantities of organic carbon, forming the food chain base and the resulting biological productivity for many aquatic ecosystems. Dredging will adversely effect water quality by significantly increasing turbidity. Turbidity and other associated impacts to this wetland ecosystem will be heightened if the pipes for spoil removal are in place for more than one season. Disturbance of material within the canal will almost definitely lead to a sloughing -off of the banks. Bank erosion will increase turbidity, decrease channel stability, and will lead to additional impacts to shallow water habitat. The shallow water habitat in Kitty Hawk Canal and Kitty Hawk Bay is used by numerous species of anadromous, estuarine and freshwater fish as spawning, rearing, feeding and escape areas. This area is also an important resting and feeding area for migratory waterfowl. We are concerned about the potential adverse impacts to marine fauna resulting from turbidity associated with dredging. Elevated turbidity could reduce water quality in these areas and stress marine organisms. Excessive turbidity is particularly damaging to egg and larval life stages of marine organisms. Therefore, we request that a dredge moratorium be implemented from March 1 to September 30. Impacts to fishery resources will be minimized if work is prohibited during this critical spawning and rearing period. Construction of the spoil disposal site should be adequate to prevent sediment entry into adjacent wetlands. A water shut-off valve should be included, and should remain closed while the sediment/water slurry is pumped into the spoil disposal area. In order to allow settling of spended sediments, the shut-off valve should remain closed for a minimum of 72 hours before release of effluent water into Kitty Hawk Bay. u. We appreciate the opportunity to provide input into this permit application review.

Box 1000 Manteo, North Carolina 27954 RE: Dredging of Kitty Hawk Canal Kitty Hawk - Dare County Dear Chairperson: As an agency involved in the Division of Coastal Management's major permit application review process, we have determined that more than one acre will be disturbed by the activities as described. Therefore, in addition to a permit from the Division of Coastal Management, an erosion and sedimentation control plan must be submitted to and approved by this office before development begins. The requiring of an erosion and sedimentation control plan is based on a mandatory standard for land -disturbing activity of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 [NCGS 113A-57(4) and 113A-54(d)(4)], which states: No person shall initiate any land -disturbing activity, if at least one acre is to be uncovered, unless an erosion and sedimentation control plan for the activity is filed with the agency having jurisdiction and approved. The plan must be submitted at least thirty (30) days prior to project commencement. The plan must include, but is not limited to, the following: 1. A scaled plat plan of the site, showing the affected areas as well as adjacent properties which may be affected. Include contours if available. 2. Indicate critical areas such as wetlands, creeks, streams, drainageways, marsh, etc. 1424 Carolina Avenue, Washington.

Please be advised that the plan will be considered incomplete, and the statutory review period will not begin, unless a non-refundable plan review processing fee, payable by check or money order made out to the Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources, is included. The amount of the fee is based on $30 for the first disturbed or affected acre, plus $20 for each additional whole or fractional acre of land to be disturbed (including offsite borrow or waste areas). To begin this project without the approval of an erosion/ sedimentation control plan will be considered a violation of the Act and may lead to the assessment of a civil penalty of up to $500.00 per day for each day the project is deemed in violation.

A review of your applic n receive eptember 25, 1995, for Department of the Army auth rization (DA) to dertake maintenance dredging activities within t itty Hawk Can 1, ocated off S.R. 1208 and State Road 1210, Kitty Hawk Ba Hawk are County, North Carolina, indicates it to be a candidate for Federal authorization under this general permit. Accordingly, the administrative processing of your application will be accomplished by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management. Comments from Federal review agencies will be furnished to the State. If your application must be withdrawn from this general permit process for any reason, you will be informed regarding its further management. If there are no unresolved differences in State -Federal positions or policies, the final action taken on your application by the State will result in your receiving written notice from us that your application is consistent with the general permit and you may commence your activity. Only after receiving such confirmation should you begin work. On February 6, 1990, the DA and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) establishing procedures to determine the type and level of mitigation necessary to comply with the Clean Water Act Section 404 (b) (1) Guidelines. This MOA provides for first, avoiding impacts to waters and wetlands through the selection of the least damaging, practicable alternative; second, taking appropriate and practical steps to minimize impacts on waters and wetlands; and finally, compensating for any remaining unavoidable impacts to the extent appropriate and practicable. To enable us to process your application in full compliance with this MOA, we request that you provide the following additional information: a. Permits for work within wetlands or other special aquatic sites are available only if the proposed work is the least environmentally -2- damaging, practicable alternative. Please furnish information regarding any other alternatives, including upland alternatives, to the work for which you have applied and provide justification that your selected plan is the least damaging to water or wetland areas. b. It is necessary for you to have taken all appropriate and practicable steps to minimize wetland losses. Please indicate all that you have done, especially regarding development and modification of plans and proposed construction techniques, to minimize adverse impacts. c. . The MOA requires that appropriate and practicable mitigation will be'Yequired for all unavoidable adverse impacts remaining after all appropriate and practicable minimization has been employed. Please -indicate your plan to mitigate for the projected, unavoidable loss of waters or wetlands or provide information as to the absence of any such appropriate and practicable measures. This information is essential to our expeditious processing of your application and it should be forwarded to us by October 30, 1995. Also, a copy of this information must be sent to the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management to enable them to adequately evaluate your application for a Water Quality Certification pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. i Your application, pursuant to Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, has been assigned Action ID No. 199505838 and will be coordinated by Mr. Raleigh Bland in our Washington Regulatory Field Office.

PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to maintenance dredge 14,500 cy of material from Kitty Hawk Canal. The proposed excavation would provide continued access from Kitty Hawk Bay to the Kitty Hawk/Dare County WRC Boat Ramp and other marine facilities located on Kitty Hawk Canal. u DARE COUNTY KITTY HAWK BOAT BASIN BIO REPORT Page Two INTRODUCTION Currently, navigation within Kitty Hawk Canal is restricted due to shallow channel depths and shoals within the existing man-made canal. The Oregon Inlet Waterways Commission is a local advisory committee in Dare County which is responsible for local administration of various waterway dredging projects. The Oregon Inlet Waterways Commission has contracted the firm, Environmental Professionals, Inc., to apply for the subject permit. The proposed project includes maintenance dredging of 2.16 miles of Kitty Hawk Canal and connecting waters to Kitty Hawk Bay. SITE DESCRIPTION The Kitty Hawk Canal was constructed in 1956/57 to a depth of 15 ft. below the NWL. The Kitty Hawk Canal is approximately 2.5 miles in length from its mouth at Kitty Hawk Bay to the SR 1208 bridge. As indicated on the applicant's 2/16/95 work plats, the upper end of the Kitty Hawk Canal is often referred to as High Bridge Creek). The canal ranges between 30 and 55 feet in width and hydraulically connects Kitty Hawk Bay with ditch drainage to Jean Guite Creek. Marsh is present along almost the entire length of the canal on both sides. Three (3) majpr permits have been issued in the past on projects within proximity to the Kitty Hawk Canal. These include : NC DOT Bridge No. 40 (CAMA Major Permitt # 109-93) Kitty Hawk Landing Association (CAMA Major Permit # 138-93) Dare County Boat Basin (CAMA Major Permit # 260-88) Although a depth of 8.0 ft. below NWL exists at the canal's entrance, currently, the Kitty Hawk Canal depths range between 2.7 and 4.0 ft. below the NWL, with an average depth of 3.0 below the NWL. No submerged aquatic vegetation communities are currently present within the canal or the proposed project area within Kitty Hawk Bay. The entire canal drains through a significant coastal marsh including the coastal plant species Spartina cynosuroides (big cord grass), Juncus roemerianus (black needlerush), Typha latifolia (cattail), Spartina patens (salt meadow grass) and Cladium jamaicense (saw grass). Baccharis halimifolia (groundsel tree) also are present along the canal bank. A Pinus taeda (loblolly pine) canopy emerges along just the slightly elevated areas of the canal bank approximately one half mile from Kitty Hawk Bay. A sub -canopy of Myrica cerifera (wax myrtle) and Baccharis halimifolia are also DARE COUNTY KITTY HAWK BOAT BASIN BIO REPORT Page Three species, the marsh adjacent to the upper end of the canal also includes Sagittaria falcata present along the canal bank at about one mile from Kitty Hawk Bay. In addition to coastal(bultongue) and Hibiscus moscheutos (hibiscus). In addition to Pinus taeda, the canopy along the canal bank in this vicinity also include Juniperus virginiana (red cedar) and Liquidamibar styraciflua (sweet gum). Three smaller canals intersect Kitty Hawk Canal, one of these includes a Wildlife Resources Commission boat ramp facility. This facility includes a 25 ft. wide concrete boat ramp and approximately 200 ft. of 5 ft. width dock boardwalk adjacent to the ramp as well as the associated parking. The two remaining side canals include a private residence in one canal and a small marine repair facility at the other canal. This small latter canal, which is actually more like a basin, includes a rail haul -up boat ramp, boardwalk and dock area as well as a 28 ft. by 60 ft. enclosed structure which is on piles over wetlands, lawn and public trust waters. All man-made tributaries connecting to the Kitty Hawk Bay are classified as Joint Waters by the Wildlife Resources and Marine Fisheries Commissions. The Division of Environmental Management water quality classification for Kitty Hawk Bay and it's tributaries is SC. The waters of Kitty Hawk Bay and it's tributaries are considered by the Division of Coastal Management as Public Trust and Estuarine Waters and part of the Estuarine System Area of Environmental Concern. PROPOSED WORK The applicant proposes to maintenance dredge 2.16 miles of Kitty Hawk Canal. This proposal includes hydraulically dredging the channel section between the canal mouth and the private boat basin south of the SR 1208 bridge. The proposed work also includes maintenance of the channel approximately 300 ft. beyond the canal mouth. This proposed excavation would involve dredging 11,400 linear ft. of the Kitty Hawk Canal and the removal of 14,500 cubic yards of dredge material from below the NWL. The applicant proposes to pump dredge spoil from the canal to an upland commercial site which is located approximately midway between the canal mouth and the SR 1208 bridge. The spoil disposal site is an upland commercially used area, approximately 500 ft. east of the Kitty Hawk Canal and is adjacent SR 1210 and Midgett's Pond. The applicant proposes to place the influent and effluent pipes over skids when crossing the adjacent marsh. DARE COUNTY KITTY HAWK BOAT BASIN BIO REPORT Page Four The spoil disposal structure would consist of a 400 ft. by 150 ft. (interior dimension) earthen berm structure, 27 ft. wide at the structure base and include a water control structure to control effluent discharge. The spoil facility would have a total capacity of 14,500 cubic yards and allow 2 ft. of freeboard. It is estimated that approximately 72,500 cubic feet of dredge spoil effluent would be discharged into estuarine waters. The effluent waters would drain back to the Kitty Hawk Canal. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS The applicant proposes to hydraulically maintenance dredge 2.16 miles of Kitty Hawk Canal. Localized turbidity will be increased during excavation. The temporary placement of skids, influent and effluent piping over the adjacent coastal marsh between the canal and the disposal site will also have a temporary impact on the associated marsh. _ However, if the piping apparatus are in place for more than one season, impacts to the associated marsh could be greater. Effluent discharge from the spoil disposal structure may also increase turbidity. Removal of 14,500 cubic yards of spoil from the Kitty Hawk Canal will require the pumping of approximately 72,500 cubic yards of estuarine waters. These large quantities of water and spoil will require monitoring of the integrity of the disposal structure. If the proposed work is undertaken during a period of lesser biological activity, impacts to local fishery resources should be minimal. Due to existing shallow channel depths and the canal silt, current boat traffic aggravates the sediment plume discharge from Kitty Hawk Canal to Kitty Hawk Bay. Once maintenance dredging is complete the canal drainage area stabilizes, turbidity may be less than is presently experienced. CAMA REVIEW The local land -use plan review will be submitted under a separate document in the near future. Submitted by D. W.

Hawthorn ) L Kitty Hawk Basin 'V/�1 Additional comments October 26,. 1995 [DEHNFR It was brought to our attention by one of the reviewing agencies that they had several concerns regarding the subject application review prepared by Elizabeth City DCM. These concerns and clarifications are discussed as follows. [1] Discrepancy over whether the distance to be excavated out into Kitty Hawk Bay will be 300 or 400 ft. The submitted plat work for this project indicate a proposed excavation channel distance of 400 ft. out into Kitty Hawk Bay. The distance referenced in paragraph 1 of the PROPOSED WORK Section should be changed to 400 ft., as is referenced in my October 9, 1995 memo to you on the Kitty Hawk Basin project. [2] The presence of SAV communities in the vicinity of the proposed work. On September 11, 1995 'I conducted a field investigation for this subject application. Although SAV communities are known to exist in Kitty Hawk Bay, on the above date no SAV's were noted in the proposed dredge channel. The DMF has confirmed the existence of Eurasian milfoil in areas of Kitty Hawk Bay and shallow areas near the mouth and shoreline of Kitty Hawk Canal. No SAV's were identified in the dredge channel. I cannot quantify it but SAV communities in the vicinity of Kitty Hawk Canal and Bay would be impacted by the turbidity which would be associated with channel dredging. 1367 U.S. 17 South" Elizabeth City" North Carolina 27909 Telephone 919-264-3901 FAX 919-264-3723 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/ 10% post -consumer paper A"."r. •-1 -. �r�, �,_, ��;:�, ,--' <9a', r yIT ��/� �1.�.' John Parker, October 19, 1995 Kitty Hawk Basin Page Two [3] Connecting water depths. The work plats submitted with the application indicate an 8 ft. NWL depth at the terminal end of the proposed project. On my 9/11/95 field investigation I confirmed 6 to 8 ft. water depths in the vicinity indicated on the submitted work plats. Previous staff investigations in 1994 confirmed similar depths. We do not have navigable resources to precisely confirm the water depth contours of Kitty Hawk Bay. The applicant has requested a 5 ft. depth and this depth was recommended in my 10/9/95 memo. [4] Total spoil excavation. The total volume of spoil reported to be excavated by the applicant is 14,500 cy. This figure was calculated by R.J. Stewart,_ Performance Engineering for the applicant. When I first reviewed this proposed project, I must admit my gut feeling was that there would be a whole lot more spoil generated in this project than the application indicated. I have studied the work plat cross sections on page 1 of 4. I have had discussions with the applicant, their consultant; the applicant has submitted a copy of the calculation of dredge spoil and revised numbers on the work plat 1 of 4. Copies of both are attached. R. L. Watts and myself have reviewed the numbers more than once. The applicant bases their calculation on the following: (a) a 3:1 slope ; (b) that 32.2 cf. per linear ft. would be excavated from 4800 linear ft. of the project (cross section 1-1) ; (c) that 35.7 cf. per linear ft. would be excavated from 6600 linear ft. of the project (cross section 2-2) ; With these assumptions and changes the applicant calculates a total excavation of 14,451 cy. We have done our own calculations using these same assumptions and are coming up with similar numbers. We feel that the proposed volume calculations of dredge spoil are realistic. [5] Habitat description. With the revised numbers supplied by the applicant and the additional review of this proposed project, we revise the area dredge impact to 306,468 sf.

It was received on September 6, 1995, and appears to be adequate for processing at this time. The projected deadline for making a decision is November 20, 1995. An additional 75-day review period is provided by law when such time is necessary to complete the review. If you have not been notified of a final action by the initial deadline stated above, you should consider the review period extended. Under those circumstances, this letter will serve as your notice of an extended review. However, an additional letter will be provided on or about the 75th day. NCGS 113A-119(b) requires that Notice of an application be posted at the location of the proposed development. Enclosed you will find a "Notice of Permit Filing" postcard which must be posted at the property of your proposed development. You should post this notice at a conspicuous point along your property where it can be observed from a public road. Some examples would be: Nailing the notice card to a telephone pole or tree along the road right-of-way fronting your property; or at a point along the road right-of-way where a private road would lead one into your property. Failure to post this notice could result in an incomplete application. An onsite inspection will be made, and if additional information is required, you will be contacted by the appropriate State or Federal agency. Please contact me if you have any 1367 U.S. 17 South.

The purpose of both our telephone contact and our subsequent inspection was to address your non- compliance to the terms and conditions of Department of the Army (DA) Permit No. 199505838 issued to Dare County and the Oregon Inlet and Waterways Commission and resulting unauthorized filling activities that have adversely effected maritime wetlands, coastal marsh, and open waters of the United States on property owned by Dare County. Present during the inspection, which was conducted by Messrs. Bland and David Lekson (also of my staff), were Messrs. Richard Watts, Dennis Hawthorn, and Ed Harrell of the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management, Messrs. Richard Peed and Pat McClain of the North Carolina Division of Land Quality, Mr. Robert Stewart of Performance Engineering (a consultant for Dare County), and Mr. Danny Burrus of the Cape Dredging (your contractor). My staffs inspection has revealed that your contractor has violated eight General and Special Conditions of the Department of the Army permit, which has resulted in dredged materials being deposited over approximately 51,618 square feet (I.19 Acres) of waters and wetlands subject to our regulatory jurisdiction. Therefore, this work, undertaken in noncompliance with your permit has resulted in a violation of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344) and Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403). I understand that both you and your contractor have verbally agreed to cease and desist from any further unauthorized work within waters and wetlands of the United States and have indicated that you will cooperate with my staff in developing a plan for remedial action. ; P..1W on 0 ReqoW Raper -2- You are cautioned that a failure to honor your commitment to cease and desist from additional unauthorized activities in waters and wetlands of the United States may result in the revocation of the permit issued to the Dare County/Oregon Inlet and Waterways Commi§sion for work on the Kitty Hawk Canal Project. As previously discussed, your contractor (Cape Dredging) is being held jointly responsible for this unauthorized activity, and it is their responsibility to work with the County to resolve this matter in compliance with the law. You are also advised that we are strongly considering levying an administrative fine for violations of permit conditions pursuant to 33 U.S.C.A. Section 1319 (g)(1)(b). Any questions regarding this matter may be addressed to Mr. Bland at the Washington Regulatory Field Office, Post Office Box 1000, Washington, North Carolina 27889-1000, telephone (919) 975-1616, extensi6n 23.

The purpose of both our call and our subsequent inspection was to address many instances of noncompliance with the terms and conditions of Department of the Army (DA) Permit No. 199505838 issued to Dare County and the Oregon Inlet and Waterways Commission and the resulting unauthorized filling activities that have adversely effected maritime wetlands, coastal marsh, and open waters of the United States on property owned by Dare County. Present during the inspection, which was conducted by Messrs. Bland and David Lekson (also of my staff) and including yourself, was Messrs. Richard Watts, Dennis Hawthorn, and Ed Harrell of the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management, Messrs. Richard Peed and Pat McClain of the North Carolina Division of Land Quality; and Mr. Robert Stewart, a consultant for Dare County. My staffs inspection has revealed that your actions, as the contractor for Dare County, have violated eight General and Special Conditions of the Department of the Army permit issued to Dare County, which has resulted in dredged materials being deposited over approximately 51,618 square feet (1.19 Acres) of waters and wetlands subject to our regulatory jurisdiction. Therefore, this work, undertaken in noncompliance with the County's permit, has resulted in a violation of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344) and Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403). I understand that both you and the Dare County officials have verbally agreed to cease aild desist from any further unauthorized work within waters and wetlands of the United States, and have indicated that you will cooperate wit 12 d staff in developing a plan for remedial action. s Ty'fC^y,,li9 wtr� / 9� PnMed on ® Reryded Paper I -2- You are cautioned that a failure to honor your commitment to cease and desist from additional unauthorized activities in waters and wetlands of the United States may result in the revocation of the Department of the Army Permit issued to Dare County and the Oregon Inlet and Waterways Commission for work on the Kitty Hawk Canal Project. As previously discussed, both you and Dare County are being held jointly responsible for this unauthorized activity, and it is your responsibility to work with the County to resolve this matter in compliance with the law. You are also advised that we are strongly considering levying an administrative fine for violations of permit conditions pursuant to 33 U.S.C.A. Section 1319 (g)(1)(b).

So long as the US COE has no objections to this request, I have no objection with this extension. However, I believe that much of the spoil which spilt into the adjacent coastal and wooded wetlands, could have been removed before now and would not have presented a disposal problem because much of these areas have been dry. Most of May and the first week of June, we have experienced low tide conditions. Much of the spoil material could have been removed and stockpiled on the adjacent high ground hummock and then double handled to another location. The US COE has requested that all wetland restoration work be completed within 30 days of the receipt of your letter from them. Allowing for two weeks for delivery, etc., this correlates to having this wetland restoration work completed by June 22, 1997. Assuming that the US COE approves this extension, the new completion date will be August 6, 1997. 1367 U.S. 17 South.

Based upon my staffs onsite inspection of the effected waters and wetlands, we are requesting that you undertake remedial action to attempt to bring the project into compliance with the terms and conditions of your Department of the Army (DA) permit, Action ID 199505838. In this regard, we are requesting that you immediately undertake the following actions: 1. You must remove all unauthorized dredged material from waters and wetlands, thereby restoring all effected areas to pre -construction elevations and contours. This includes the removal of all unauthorized dredged material from the existing boat basin and access channel. Restoration work within wetland areas must be undertaken in such a manner as to minimize disturbance to existing trees and adjacent wetland areas. The project area has been delineated, surveyed and platted. This surveyed wetland boundary represents the limits of those areas to be restored. Prior to initiating the restoration work, you should schedule an onsite meeting with Mr. Raleigh Bland of my staff and the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management to discuss this restoration work. 2. We are concerned that an attempt to restore the effected coastal marsh may result in even greater impacts to the marsh. This is due to the soupy nature of the spoil material, as well as the soft, organic substrate underlying the marsh itself. Therefore, restoration work should not be undertaken within any coastal marsh areas until this matter can be fully addressed at the above referenced meeting. -2- 3. You must confine all spoil material generated during the restoration process behind dikes or within other adequate spoil retaining areas, located entirely on high ground and sufficiently landward of any waters of the United States, including wetlands, to prevent the re- entry of this material into jurisdictional areas. 4. The western dike of the spoil disposal area that has eroded into wetlands must be removed from wetlands with the material placed and retained on high ground. If you wish to reconstruct the disposal area, it must be constructed in accordance with applicable North Carolina Division of Water Quality regulations governing return water from upland, contained dispos4 areas and in such a manner that precludes the erosion of sediments into waters and/or wetlands. 5. All of the above remedial actions must be completed within 30 days of your receipt of this letter. In the event you are unable to complete the work within the stated time frame, you must submit a written request for time extension with an explanation of delays and a time table for completion of the restoration work. You are cautioned that failure to honor your commitment to perform the requested restoration may result in referral of your case to the United States Attorney. Additionally, as addressed in our March 21, 1997, Cease and Desist letter, we are continuing to consider levying an administrative fine for these violations of permit conditions pursuant to 33 USCA Section 1319 (g)(1)(b), and for permanent impacts to waters of the United States, including wetlands.

Hawthorn DATE: October 24, 1997 COASTAL MANAGEMENT SUBJECT: V0W4*wWy.1Kitty Hawk Boat Ramp, Higk Brij#&Q* Dredging and Restoration This memo is in regard the subject project and Robert Stewart's October 23, 1997 memorandum on this project and our October 23n1 pre -construction meeting. The purpose of this meeting was to review the restoration work in accordance with the Restoration Plan for this site and to evaluate the spoil retention structure in regard to a re -start of dredging in High Bridge Creek. As summarized in Mr. Stewart's memo, I found that the wetland grade restoration work has been satisfactorily completed. I do not believe that sprigging or seeding will be necessary, however, we will be better able to evaluate the success of the restoration after next growing season. If insufficient volunteer vegetation or undesirable species provide the only plant cover, other restoration work could be required (ie. planting, sprigging or seeding of appropriate species and/or acceptable herbicide application). A major portion of our meeting was spent discussing the integrity of the retention structure and what action(s) would be necessary to obtain approval to re -start dredging (ie. What the permittee would do different this time to keep the same violation from occurring again?) My biggest concern is that a strict adherence to the two foot free -board be observed at all times. Unless the County plans to have some one doing this quality control monitoring, a reoccurrence is very possible. Thus far, the County appears to be unsympathetic to this problem and the contractors appear to think this is outside of their responsibilities to the County. I really do not care who does the monitoring, but some one should. I think this should be committed to in writing by the permittee. P.O.

This included setting up markers and level indicators on the water control structure so retention pond water levels can be documented. I also think it would be prudent for the permittee to provide personnel assigned to full-time monitoring of the retention structure while actual dredging operation is underway, and a reasonable period of time after the dredge stops each pumping cycle or day. As you might guess, Richard Watts and I have also discussed this project at length. We have some concern that the actual slope of the retention structure may be too steep and not in conformance with the Divisions of Land Quality and Water Quality current guidelines concerning berm retention structures. The full-time dedication to personnel monitoring of the berm structure would again go a long way to arrest these concerns. I have also suggested to Mr. Stewart that he make these two Divisions aware of the status of this project (ie. Pat McClain and Debra Sawyer).

PROJECT STATUS UPDATE. ENGINEER'S PROJECT NO.94095, On Thursday, October 23, 1997, 1 met on -site with Mr. Dennis Hawthorn of NCDEHNR, Division of 'Coastal Management and Mr. Danny Burrus of Cape Dredging, Inc. The purpose of the meeting was to review the conditions of the permit in preparation for a resumption of dredging operations scheduled to begin November I, 1997. Mr. Burrus indicated that his work in re -construction of the disposal area dikes will be complete and work should be resumed on or about November 1, 1997. This starting date is contingent upon the delivery of the articulating ladder dredge which is being leased for work on this project. Mr. Hawthorn emphasized the necensity of maintaining the required 2 feet of free board in the dike and, for constant monitoring of this condition by the contractor. He suggested that the Countx provide additional manpower for monitoring this condition on a daily basis. He stated that he will paint elevation datum marks on the water control structure so that photoggraphic documentation of the maintenance of the required free board can be facilitated. Also discussed at tfte meeting was the issue of routing the effluent pipes across an expanse of wetlands. This was the route of the pipes for the initial dredging phase. Photographs were taken of the area which previously contained the pipes. There was no indication of any adverse effects to the wetland area as a result of the pipes having been located there. Mr. Burrus indicated that he will discuss this matter with Mr. Raleigh Bland of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to obtain authorization to route the pipes as previously done. The other possibilities for the pipe routing create logistical problems which Mr. Burrus will explain to Mr. Bland. Mr. Hawthorne indicated that he was very pleased with the result of the wetlands restoration and enhancement. He indicated that the Corps of Engineers also felt like the restoration efforts were more than satisfactory. Mr. Burrus brought up the topic of the sequence regarding the restoration of the boat basin. This restoration involves removal of sediments which were deposited in the basin during the course of the previous dredging phase. Mr. Burros indicated that he would prefer to "clean out" the basin when the dredging operation reaches this point in the channel rather than having this material removed at the very end of the work. The rationale for this is that the material, being very silty in nature, will be: easier to handle if it can be mixed with the more sandy material which is anticipated to be encountered within the existing canal. Also, the disposal area will not be as full as it will be near the end of the project and the silty material will have greater opportunity to settle. Mr. Hawthorn stated that he has no objection to this proposed sequence of events. Any recipients of this correspondence who have questions or concerns regarding its contents are requested to contact Robert Stewart at the office of Performance Engineering so that any inaccuracies or omissions can be corrected and the memorandum redistributed. It is important that any concerned parties respond expeditiously since the commencement of the next phase of dredging is rapidly approaching. UPDATE: On Friday, October 24, 1997,1 received a voice mail message from Raleigh Bland of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Mr. Bland stated that he has no objection to the November 1, 1997 start up date, that he was very pleased with the restoration, that he does not feel that reseeding the restored area is necessary and that, while he has concerns regarding the routing of effluent pipes across the wetlands area adjacent to the basin, there are no regulatory stipulations which preclude this routing. cc: Mr. Ray Sturza, Dare County Planning Director Ms. Maria Heifferon, O.I.W.C.

From that inspection we found that the boat basin had been filled with up to 6 feet of silt from the effluent pipes and that a significant are of jurisdictional wetlands had been filled with up to 1.5 feet of spoil material from the breaches in the containment dikes. Although no formal 401 Water Quality Certification was issued for this project, the unauthorized filling of waters and wetlands at this site clearly removes the function and use of those aquatic areas and may constitute a violation of the State's Antidegradation Policy (NCAC T15A: 02B .0201). It is our understanding that the CAMA Major Permit was modified in August of 1996 to allow the boat ramp spoil site to be used rather than the original site near Midgett's Pond. This modification was made without any notification to the Division of Water Quality and without any opportunity of DWQ to comment on the change. DWQ would not have approved the smaller boat ramp dredge spoil site as it was constructed. The original site was much larger and called for the influent pipe to enter the spoil area at one end and the effluent pipe to leave at the other end allowing the fines to settle out. The site was also to be split up into different cells and at least two feet of freeboard maintained on the dikes. The boat ramp site was constructed immediately 9 10 adjacent to wetlands and with very steep slopes on the dikes. We found the influent and of I pipes at the same end of the spoil area with no use of settling cells. It should also be noted in floes a letter from the consulting engineer, he states that the new spoil site will hold 1855 cubic _ s ofi9yc� material with 1 foot of freeboard, only 109 cubic yards more than the estimated material t cF y �y a dredged. Clearly there was no room for error at the boat ramp site. S P.O.
