The Wildlife Resources Commission has reviewed the project for impacts to wildlife and fishery resources. A site visit was made on July 23, 1996. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et. seq.) and the Coastal Area Management Act (G.S. 113A-100 through 113A-128). The applicant proposes to maintenance dredge 4 bulkheaded canals providing boat access to the AIWW at Ocean Isle Beach. Dredge spoil is to be placed in an existing diked spoil disposal area near the project. A margin of coastal wetlands up to 20 ft. in width and providing wading bird habitat occurs along the canal shorelines. Area waters are classified SA. Waters outside the canals are open to shellfishing, while the canals themselves are closed to shellfish harvest. Primary adverse impacts associated with the project appear to be potential loss of wetlands along canal shorelines and turbidity -induced water quality decline. To counter these impacts, we recommend the following project modifications. r NCWRC; Town of Ocean Isle Beach; 7-26-96 p.2 1. Avoid coastal wetlands along canal shorelines during dredging. 2. Avoid excavation between April 1 and September 30, a peak period of biological activity. W<nt w/ Dmi A+Ofntcf'VM Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project.

It was received complete on June 21, 1996, and appears to be adequate for processing at this time. The projected deadline for making a decision is SWtemNEW1996. 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.

The Federal agencies have completed review of the proposal as presented by the application and your field investigation report. We recommend that the following conditions be included in the State authorization: 1. All work authorized by this permit must be performed in strict compliance with the permit plans. 2. All excavated materials will be confined landward of the mean high water (MHW) elevation contour and any regularly or irregularly flooded vegetated marsh within adequate dikes or other retaining structures to prevent spillover of solids into any vegetated wetlands or surrounding waters. 3. Dikes or retaining structures will be maintained and repaired if necessary, throughout the duration of the project. 4. The terminal end of the pipeline from the dredge into the diked retention area will be positioned at or greater than 50 feet from any part of the dike and a maximum distance from spillways to prevent dike erosion and to allow adequate settlement of suspended solids. 5. A water control structure will be installed at the intake end of the effluent pipe leading from the retention area in order to ensure maximum settlement of suspended solids. 6. Flow from the diked retention area will be confined by pipe, trough, or similar device to a point at or below the mean low water (MLW) elevation contour to prevent gully erosion and siltation. R Tiv, SEP 23 1996 7. No excavated or fill materials will be placed at any time in any vegetated wetlands or waters. This includes the temporary placement or double handling of excavated or fill materials. 8. No vegetated wetlands will be excavated. 9. Excavation will not exceed 6 feet below the elevation of mean low water (MLW). 10. No attempt will be made by the permittee to prevent the full and free use by the public of all navigable waters at or adjacent to the authorized work. Use of the permitted activity must not interfere with the public's right to free navigation on all navigable waters of the United States. 11. The permittee will maintain the authorized work in good condition and in conformance with the terms and conditions of this permit. The permittee is not relieved of this requirement if he abandons the permitted activity without having it transferred to a third party. 12. The authorized activity will not cause an unacceptable interference with navigation. 13. The activity will be conducted in such a manner as to prevent a significant increase in turbidity outside the area of construction or construction -related discharge. Increases such that the turbidity in the waterbody is 50 NTU's or less in all rivers not designated as trout waters by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ), 25 NTU's or less in all saltwater classes and in all lakes and reservoirs, and 10 NTU's or less in trout waters, are not considered significant. 14. This Department of the Army permit does not obviate the need to obtain other Federal, State, or local authorizations required by law.

A review of your application received July 10, 1996, for Department of the Army authorization to maintenance dredge approximately 67,200 square feet of material from four existing canals, each 250 feet long by 40 feet wide, off the Intracoastal Waterway, between Laurinburg and Concord Streets, in Ocean Isle Beach, Brunswick 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, practical 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 practical. 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 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. T doc 3vV£0 C(f.- aim Qthr b. It is necessary for you to have taken all appropriate and practical steps to reduce wetland losses. Please show all that you have done, especially regarding development and modification of plans and proposed construction techniques, to reduce adverse impacts. c. The MOA requires that appropriate and practical mitigation will be required for all unavoidable adverse impacts remaining after all appropriate and practical minimization has been employed. Please show 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 practical measures. This information is essential to our expeditious processing of your application and it should be forwarded to us by August 8, 1996. 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. 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. 199603865_ It will be coordinated by the undersigned in our Wilmington Field Office. I may be contacted at telephone (910) 251-463.6. Sincerely, Jeffrey H.

PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant wishes to obtain a permit for maintenance excavation of the four existing canals, between Laurinburg and Concord streets, and proposes, initially, to complete maintenance dredging in at the entrances of the four existing canals. The canals are approximately 2500 feet long and the channel width is 40 feet. The Town is proposing to complete maintenance excavation of the northern 320-400 feet of the canals and the connecting channels to the AIWW, in conjunction with work to be completed under State Permit 59-96. Town of Ocean Isle Beach Page 2 9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project site consists of four (4) existing canals which connect to the AIWW, on the north side of Ocean Isle Beach, between I aurinburg and Concord streets. The canals are approximately 2500 feet long and 100 feet wide, and provide water access for adjacent residential development. Most of the lots adjoining the canal system are currently developed with single-family residences, and the majority of the shoreline is stabilized with a individual wooden bulkheads on each lot. Along the shoreline of the canals, there is a border of coastal wetland vegetation, varying from 0 to 20 feet in width. It is primarily Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora), but some high marsh species were observed in the transition slope to highground on lots without bulkheads. These include: Sea Lavender(Limonium spp.), Saltwart (Salicornia, spp.), Spike Grass (Distichlis spicata), and Salt Meadow Grass (Spartina patensl. The Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway is approximately 550 feet wide in the project area and the waters are classified SA by the N. C. Carolina Division of Environmental Management. The waters inside the canal system are Closed to shellfishing, however, once outside the plane across the access channels, the waters of the AIWW are OPEN to shellfish harvest. The N. C. Division of Marine Fisheries does not consider the project area as primary nursery area. For maintenance purposes, the applicant proposes a 40 ft. wide channel, 6 ft. deep at MLW, in the center of the four existing canals, which accumulatively total, 9600 feet in length (2400 ft. ea.). Currently, the canal system has adequate water depth (4-6 ft. @ MLW) for navigation during all tide stages, however , the mouths of the access channels are beginning to narrow as a result of shoaling. The Town of Ocean Isle Beach is proposing to complete maintenance excavation of the northern 250 - 300 feet of the canals and the connecting channels to the AIWW, in conjunction with work to be completed this fall, under State Permit 59-96. The Town is requesting to flair the AIWW end of the channels, from 40 feet, to 80 feet, over the last 100 feet of the access channel, in an effort to control the shoaling problem. Although the applicant is requesting maintenance dredging for the entire length of the access canals, given the existing water depths, initial work by the Town would be limited to the shoaled area at the northern end of the canals (vanes 320-400 ft.) and waterway portions of the channels. The Town estimates that the proposed maintenance excavation and flair expansion would create approximately 6000 cubic yards of spoil material. The project would be completed using a hydraulic dredge and spoil material would be placed in an existing diked area, approximately 1/4 mile east of the project. The portion of the existing spoils disposal area to be used for the project measures approximately 380 feet square, with approximately 8 feet of depth available for spoils disposal inside the diked area. 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS The proposed project would disturb approximately 67,200 square feet of shallow water bottom. Of that total. approximately 10,400 square feet would consist of previously undredged bottom. There would be 144,400 square feet of highground disturbance within the existing spoils disposal area. There would be some short-term turbidity and siltation associated with the dredging project. Provided the project is timed to avoid periods of peak biological activity, and that there is no significant shellfish resource located in the previously undredged area, no long term adverse impacts are anticipated from the dredging activity. Submitted by:E.F. Brooks Date: 7/5/96 Office: Wilmington State of North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources Division of Coastal Management James B. Hunt, Jr., Governor Wayne McDevitt, Secretary Roger N. Schecter, Director MEMO TO: Ed Brooks -- C�EHNR September 23, 1997 FROM: Doug Huggett EI_J µ SUBJECT: Request by Town of Ocean Isle Beach to combine CAMA Major Permits 55-_94, 56-96 and 133-96 into one maintenance permit. At your request, John Parker and I have reviewed the August 11, 1997 letter by the Town of Ocean Isle Beach (copy enclosed) asking that the Division combine three active dredging permits into one maintenance permit. While this action would simplify matters somewhat for the applicant, it would also make record keeping and enforcement more difficult for the Division, especially when considering that these permits may be renewed for numerous five-year periods. Therefore, in order to ensure that confusion over these projects is kept to a minimum, it has been determined that each of these three permits should remain as separate project files, and the Town may request maintenance renewals on each one individually. This determination should not in any way hinder the Town's long-term maintenance efforts, and will allow the Division to adequately track the three permits over the life of the projects. If you should have any further questions concerning this matter, please feel free to call either John or myself. cc: John Parker Bob Stroud Charles Jones CABACKUMBROOKS.DOC P.O.
