Unusually bad weather conditions and minor mechanical issues have delayed and slowed our dredging operation. However, the dredge is on - site and currently working smoothly. Our contractor believes he would need no more than five working days beyond the February 15 date to complete the dredging project. Thank you for your consideration and if you have any questions, please contact me at your convenience.

WENR North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Marine Fisheries Patrick L. McCrory Dr. Louis B. Daniel III Governor Director TO: Doug Huggett THROUGH: Anne Deaton AD FROM: Kevin Hart K�{ DATE: January 2, 2013 SUBJECT: Roughton Commercial Complex USACE 20120825 John E. Skvarla, III Secretary The following comments by the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF) on the subject project are offered pursuant to G.S. 113-131. The applicant proposes to hydraulically dredge the access channel to Duck Creek Marina (an existing 58 slip marina) on Duck Creek (inland, SC, SW, NSW) a tributary of the Neuse River. The applicant proposes to restore the 2,350'-long and 35' wide access channel to its previous -7'NWL (Dredge and Fill Permit #196-76) where it will connect to a previously permitted -8'NWL channel. The spoil will be pumped into an onsite existing pond. In addition the applicants propose relocating 3 existing channel markers and adding seven additional channel markers. Although Duck Creek is not designated a Primary Nursery Area (PNA) or an Anadromous Fish Spawning Area, the NCDMF samples this area. The NCDMF has collected both recreational and commercially important species (including but not limited to river herring, red drum, Southern flounder, blue crab, sport, Atlantic croaker, striped bass, and spotted seatrout). To minimize the impacts to these species the NCDMF requests that the applicant adheres to the February 15 through September 30 moratorium. If all in water work is performed outside of this period the NCDMF will not object to this project. As discussed during the September 27, 2012 on site meeting the marina permit conditions should be modified so that the depth conditions do not exceed the permitted channel depths (-7'NWL). These depths should be modified so that the surface waters do not pool in the basin. It is possible that if the basin does not have water exchange that the waters can become anoxic and degrade water quality conditions and can have negative impacts on the resident and migratory species utilizing Duck Creek, If the applicant'adheres to the February 15 through September 30 in water work moratorium and the marina depth conditions are modified the NCDMF will have no further comment on the project. The NCDMF appreciates the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you have any comments or questions, please call me at (252) 948-3878 or email me at Kevin.Hart(&ncdenr.r ov .

Myers, Executive Director TO: Doug Huggett, Major Permits Processing Coordinator Division of Coastal Management North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources FROM: Maria T. Dunn, Northeast Coastal Region Coordinator Habitat Conservation Program DATE: January 14, 2013 SUBJECT: CAMA Dredge/Fill Permit Application for Duck Creek Small Harbor, LLC, Craven County, North Carolina. Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) reviewed the permit application with regard to impacts on fish and wildlife resources. The project site is located at 699 Galloway Road, adjacent Duck Creek near Bridgeton, NC. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Coastal Area Management Act (G.S. 113A-100 through 113A-128), as amended, Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act, as amended, and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Star. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.). The applicant proposes to dredge the existing access channel in Duck Creek that leads into the 85-slip commercial marina. In addition to channel excavation, seven existing channel markers will be repositioned. Final water depths will be -7' NWL for the 2,350' by 35' channel. Spoil material generated will be placed in an existing pond behind the marina. Duck Creek at this location is classified SC Sw NSW by the Environmental Management Commission and is subject to the Neuse Basin Buffer Rules. The NCWRC has reviewed the permit application and does not believe the project as proposed will have significant adverse impacts to aquatic resources if a February 15 to September 30 moratorium is included as a permit condition. This creek provides habitat to several important resident and anadromous fish species including blueback herring and striped bass. The inclusion of the above moratorium would minimize disturbance and elevated turbidity levels during spawning and the important early developmental stages of egg, larvae, and fry. Final water depths within the marina should not exceed connecting water depths and if previously permitted depths are deeper than, -7' NWL, those depths should be changed to reflect the current proposal. We appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on this permit application. If you need further assistance or additional information, please contact me at (252) 948-3916.

Sent: Monday, January 14, 2013 4:19 PM To: Howell, Jonathan Subject: RE: Duck Creek Small Harbor, LLC Jonathan, We've had concern for this project the whole time, but I don't have any inland data other than the juvenile data DMF has and a one-time event for a look-see WRC did years ago. With that being said, we are not going to object, but want the 2/15 — 9/30 moratorium on the project with a condition that the basin not be dredged deeper than the connecting waters. My memory from the on -site visit was that the original permit allowed the basin to -8', but one mitigating factor the agencies considered was lessening that allowance to -7'. The proposed final depths are very close to some of the depths within the channel already — so we want to make sure an over dredge does not occur. I can write signed comments and get them to you tomorrow if needed. I'll be in Emerald Isle in the morning, but should be back in the afternoon. If I get some things taken care of here this afternoon, I may can get them finished today. Thanks. Maria Maria T.

I ---- - -- ---- ------ - -- . 5t,5 V Field Investigation report: Duck Creep Marina 9. Narrative Description: This site is used for a commercial marina and boat yard, known as Duck Creek Marina, located at 699 Galloway Road near Bridgeton, Craven County. The marina basin supports 58 boat slips. The property is 12.7 acres and is adjacent to Duck Creek. The adjacent properties are undeveloped. The lot has approximately 2,085' of shoreline along Duck Creek. There is a gravel parking area and around the marina basin. There is an office, dry storage, and haul -out at the west end of the basin. The boat yard is west of the office/dry storage building, and there is a borrow pit pond just west of the boat yard. There is also a drainage ditch on the northern property boundary that empties into Duck Creek. The average elevation of the high ground of the parcel is +8' above the normal water level (nwl). Vegetation on this particular tract is mainly comprised of trees, lawn grasses, and Section 404 Wetland areas along the western property boundary. There are Coastal Wetlands on the northeastern boundary of the property, adjacent to Duck Creek. There is not a defined Federal Channel in this area of the Neuse River; however there is an existing marked channel leading into the marina basin. Offshore water depths adjacent to the tract range from about —5.5' to —7' nwl. This waterbody is approximately 200' across at this location. This location is a part of the Neuse River basin. It is subject to wind driven tides and low energy wave action due to its sinuosity and such a narrow fetch. These Public Trust Waters of Duck Creek are not classified as a Primary Nursery Area and there is no submerged aquatic vegetation present. These waters are classified as Inland Fishing Waters. This area is closed to shellfish harvest and is classified as SC; Sw, Nutrient Sensitive Waters. There are (high marsh) Coastal Wetlands adjacent to the proposed project area. The bottom substrate is firm without shell. 10. Proposed Development: The applicant wishes to perform maintenance excavation of the entrance channel that accesses the mouth of the marina basin for continued commercial use. The applicant wishes to relocate seven existing channel markers. The applicant also wishes to contain the dredge spoils in the borrow pit pond on site. The proposed maintenance excavation will restore the access channel to its previous -7' nwl depth (ref. State Dredge and Fill Permit #196-76). The access channel that is to be dredged is 2,350' long and approximately 35' wide. It spans from the entrance to the Duck Creek Marina's basin heading south towards the Neuse River and stops at the entrance to the borrow pit pond, midway downstream of Duck Creek. Seven of the existing channel markers will be relocated to more accurately mark the edges of the access channel. The spoils from the dredging will be hydraulically pumped into the existing pond behind the marina's boar- and. -This "-ondis 1601ori ;-150' wide arid" 12' dee :-The dewaterin disehar e i e will -be — - Y P g, P g g P p Brad Connell November 28, 2012 Morehead City 11 Field Investigation Report: Duck Creek Marina Page 3 located on the northwest crd of the pond.

There will be a series of three rip rap check dams tc control flog velocity and trap any potential loose sediment. The discharge waters will then return to Duck Creek via this existing storm w:;ter drainage ditch. Anticipated Impacts: It is anticipated that there will be temporary, but elevated turbidity levels during the course of hydraulic excavation of the channel. The man-made wetland pond will be filled by dewatered spoil material. The maintenance excavation and relocation of the existing channel markers will improve navigation through this portion of Duck Creek. The waters of Duck Creek are classified as SC; Sw, Nutrient Sensitive Waters at this location and are not designated as a Primary Nursery Area. These waters are closed to the harvest of shellfish and there are no beds of submerged aquatic vegetation present. This proposal is subject to the NCDWQ Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer Rules. r RECEIVED DEC 19 2012 DCM-MHD CITY Brad Connell November 28, 2012 Morehead City Project Narrative Duck Creek Marina (Marina) is a 58 slip marina located on Duck Creek, in the Town of Bridgeton, CraVen County. The tract of land on which the marina facility is located is approx. 12.7 acres in size. The marina owners also own an adjacent .7 acre lot which is adjacent to Duck Creek and the marina facility. This lot has a single family residence and a portion of its shoreline has been stabilized with riprap. Adjacent properties are undeveloped. Both properties are serviced with individual septic tanks and well water. Duck Creek is a smaller tributary of the Neuse River. It has been designated as SC; SW, NSW by the NC Environmental Commission and as Inland Waters with jurisdiction lying with the NC Wildlife Commission. There was no submerged aquatic vegetation observed in the channel portion of Duck Creek leading to the Marina. Duck Creek is not designated as a Primary Nursery Area. The Marina facility provides haul -out services with a 35 ton travel lift and has a large repair yard for its customers. Duck Creek Marina has been in existence at this location since at least the early 1970's. In 1976, state and federal permits (Dredge and Fill Permit No. 196-76) were issued to Duck Creek Marina and authorized the upland expansion of their existing boat basin. The permitted depth of the basin was -8' below normal water level. Subsequent permit authorizations were obtained for the existing travel lift infrastructure and various sections of shoreline stabilizations. North of the Marina complex,(the docks, marina office, storage building and storage yard) there exist an approx. 130' wide x 120' long x 7' deep pond which was excavated during the initial construction of the marina facility. An approx. 4' high berm is located along the perimeter of the pond. Beyond the berm and adjacent filled areas, a 404 forested wetland area exist on the north and west sides of the pond. Along the eastern side of the property, an existing ditch runs the entire length of the property and ultimately discharges into Duck Creek. Over the years, portions of the channel leading to their boat basin have filled in with mud and silt to the point that larger draft boats are having difficulty in accessing the marina and repair yard. After the previous owner of the Marina passed away this year, the new owners (his son, brother and brother—in- law) have decided they need to undertake needed channel excavation work to maintain the integrity of the business. The applicants (Duck Creek Marina) are seeking permission to excavate up to an approximately 2,350' long to -7' normal water level (nwl) deep channel. The first approx 210' of channel leading out of the boat basin will be excavated to a width of 30' with the remaining 2,140' of channel being excavated to a 40' width. Except for the area closest to the basin, existing water depths within the channel range from -5' to -7 nwl with the vast majority of depths being -6' or deeper. Water depths in the channel adjacent to the basin range from-3'/:'to -6'/:' with the majority being -5' or shallower. The applicant's proposed channel will terminate in later depths of -7 to -8' nwl deep. This is where some years ago, a property owner along Duck Creek received state and federal permits and excavated a 50' ),vide to -8' nwl deep access channel in Duck Creek a'! the way out to the Neuse River. The applicant is proposing to perform this excavation work by hydraulic d,edge with the spoils being placed within an existing man-made pond k)cated at the back (north) of the boat yard. The pond is approx. 160'long x 150' wide -7' deep. The US Army Corps of Engineers has conducted an on -site evaluation of the property and has determined that the pond is a jurisdictional wetland. The berm and the previously filled areas adjacent to the pond were not determined to be wetlands and there is no direct connection from the pond to jurisdictional wetlands or surface waters. This spoil site was selected after the applicant evaluated potential spoil sites in the nearby area and could not find a suitable one that was available and not a wetland site. A barge and bucket excavation was also considered but the cost and the direct and secondary impacts of removing the material from the creek and from the site made this type of operation unfeasible. Brown Dredging Company has conducted an on -site evaluation of the dredging and proposed spoil disposal site. They estimate that approx. 5,000 cubic yards of mud and silt will be excavated. This is because not all of the channel area footprint will be excavated and in some areas only a small amount of material will be removed. Future maintenance dredging requirements are not known. Based upon the volume of material being removed and the existing size and depth of the existing pond, the proposed spoil disposal site (i.e. the existing pond) should be adequate. It is estimated that the pond with its adjacent dike could contain approx. 12,800 cu.yds. of material. A water control structure will be placed in the berm and any needed dike work will be performed before excavation begins. The water effluent from the dredging operation will be transferred from the water control structure via a pipe and will discharge into the existing ditch which ultimately empties into Duck Creek. To minimize scouring, a rock apron will be placed in the ditch at the pipe discharge location. Two check dams will also be placed in the ditch downstream from the discharge location. It is believed that after the excavation ends, the elevation of the pond will be below or near its previous elevation (i.e. before the pond was excavated). The applicants already have thirteen (13) pile supported channel markers in Duck Creek within the proposed channel leading to their marina facility. Three (3) of these channel markers will need to be slightly relocated after the excavation work to better identify the channel's location. Seven (7) new pile support channel markers are also proposed which will better define the navigational channel, particularly at its upper end. All markers will be in conformance to applicable US ast jai iaDd NC Wildlife Commission rules and regulations.

Dee Freeman Director Secretary December 27, 2012 Subject: EXEMPTION from Stormwater Management Permit Regulations CAMA Major- Duck Creek Marina Dredging Project Stormwater Project No. SW7121207 Craven County Dear Mr. Benton: The Washington Regional Office received a copy of your CAMA Major application for your proposed dredging project located at 699 Galloway Rd near Bridgeton, NC on December 6, 2012. Staff review of the plans and specifications has determined that the project, as proposed, consists of activities that will not pose surface water quality threats from stormwater runoff since no significant new Impervious area is proposed. The Director has determined that projects that are reviewed and approved by the Division as not posing water quality threats from stormwater runoff should not be subject to the stormwater management permitting requirements of 15A NCAC 2H.1000 and SL 2008-211. For this reason, we are informing you by way of this letter that your project will not require a State Stormwater management permit at this time. The stormwater rules require the Division to permit the common plan of development, therefore, any future development on the property, regardless of whether a SEC plan or CAMA Major permit is also required, will require a Stormwater Management Permit application and permit issuance from the Division of Water Quality prior to any construction. Any construction on the subject site, prior to receipt of the required permit, will constitute a violation of 15A NCAC 2H.1000 and SL 2008-211 and may result in appropriate enforcement actions by this Office. Please keep in mind that this determination does not affect your legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality, the Division of Land Resources, the Division of Coastal Management or any other Federal, State or Local Government Please reference the Stormwater Project Number above on all correspondence. If you have any questions or need additional information concerning this matter, please contact Roger Thorpe at (252) 946-6481.

Protect Summary: The applicant wishes to dredge the existing access channel in Duck Creek that leads into the 58-slip commercial marina basin. Field Investigation Report: Duck Creek Marina Paee 2 9. Narrative Description: This site is used for a commercial marina and boat yard, known as Duck Creek Marina, located at 699 Galloway Road near Bridgeton, Craven County. The marina basin supports 58 boat slips. The property is 12.7 acres and is adjacent to Duck Creek. The adjacent properties are undeveloped. The lot has approximately 2,085' of shoreline along Duck Creek. There is a gravel parking area and around the marina basin. There is an office, dry storage, and haul -out at the west end of the basin. The boat yard is west of the office/dry storage building, and there is a borrow pit pond just west of the boat yard. There is also a drainage ditch on the northern property boundary that empties into Duck Creek. The average elevation of the high ground of the parcel is +8' above the normal water level (nwl). Vegetation on this particular tract is mainly comprised of trees, lawn grasses, and Section 404 Wetland areas along the western property boundary. There are Coastal Wetlands on the northeastern boundary of the property, adjacent to Duck Creek. There is not a defined Federal Channel in this area of the Neuse River; however there is an existing marked channel leading into the marina basin. Offshore water depths adjacent to the tract range from about —5.5' to —7' nwl. This waterbody is approximately 200' across at this location. This location is a part of. the Neuse River basin. It is subject to wind driven tides and low energy wave action due to its sinuosity and such a narrow fetch. These Public Trust Waters of Duck Creek are not classified as a Primary Nursery Area and there is no submerged aquatic vegetation present. These waters are classified as Inland Fishing Waters. This area is closed to shellfish harvest and is classified as SC; Sw, Nutrient Sensitive Waters. There are (high marsh) Coastal Wetlands adjacent to the proposed project area. The bottom substrate is firm without shell. 10. Proposed Development: The applicant wishes to perform maintenance excavation of the entrance channel that accesses the mouth of the marina basin for continued commercial use. The applicant wishes to relocate seven existing channel markers. The applicant also wishes to contain the dredge spoils in the borrow pit pond on site. The proposed maintenance excavation will restore the access channel to its previous -7' nwl depth (ref. State Dredge and Fill Permit #196-76). The access channel that is to be dredged is 2,350' long and approximately 35' wide. It spans from the entrance to the Duck Creek Marina's basin heading south towards the Neuse River and stops at the entrance to the borrow pit pond, midway downstream of Duck Creek. Seven of the existing channel markers will be relocated to more accurately mark the edges of the access channel. The spoils from the dredging will be hydraulically pumped into the existing pond behind the marina's boatyard. --This pond is M0' long; 150' Vfd-c-and 42' deep The dewatering diseharge pipe will be - Brad Connell November 28, 2012 Morehead City )Field Investigation Report; Duck Creek Marina Page 3 located on the northwest end o f the pond. 4 will direct discharge water into the existing di lch on the northern property bot day There will: be a seri_s of three rip rap check dams to co-rol flow velocity and trap any potential loose sediment. The discharge waters will then return to Duck Creek via this existing storni walce drainage ditch. 11. Anticipated Impacts: It is anticipated that there will be temporary, but elevated turbidity levels during the course of hydraulic excavation of the channel. The man-made wetland pond will be filled by dewatered spoil material. The maintenance excavation and relocation of the existing channel markers will improve navigation through this portion of Duck Creek. The waters of Duck Creek are classified as SC; Sw, Nutrient Sensitive Waters at this location and are not designated as a Primary Nursery Area. These waters are closed to the harvest of shellfish and there are no beds of submerged aquatic vegetation present. This proposal is subject to the NCDWQ Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer Rules. ,9e RECEIVED JAN 10 2013 MM- UID CITY Brad Connell November 28, 2012 Morehead City Project Narrative Duck Creek Marina (Marina) is a 58 slip marina located on Duck Creek, in the Town of Bridgeton 'Craven County. The tract of land on which the marina facility is located is approx.12.7 acres in size. The marina owners also own an adjacent .7 acre lot which is adjacent to Duck Creek and the marina facility. This lot has a single family residence and a portion of its shoreline has been stabilized with riprap. Adjacent properties are undeveloped. Both properties are serviced with individual septic tanks and well water. Duck Creek is a smaller tributary of the Neuse River. It has been designated as SC; SW, NSW by the NC Environmental Commission and as Inland Waters with jurisdiction lying with the NC Wildlife Commission. There was no submerged aquatic vegetation observed in the channel portion of Duck Creek leading to the Marina. Duck Creek is not designated as a Primary Nursery Area. The Marina facility provides haul -out services with a 35 ton travel lift and has a large repair yard for its customers. Duck Creek Marina has been in existence at this location since at least the early 1970's. In 1976, state and federal permits (Dredge and Fill Permit No.196-76) were issued to Duck Creek Marina and authorized the upland expansion of their existing boat basin. The permitted depth of the basin was -8' below normal water level. Subsequent permit authorizations were obtained for the existing travel lift infrastructure and various sections of shoreline stabilizations. North of the Marina complex (the docks, marina office, storage building and storage yard) there exist an approx. 130' wide x 120' long x 7' deep pond which was excavated during the initial construction of the marina facility. An approx. 4' high berm is located along the perimeter of the pond. Beyond the berm and adjacent filled areas, a 404 forested wetland area exist on the north and west sides of the pond. Along the eastern side of the property, an existing ditch runs the entire length of the property and ultimately discharges into Duck Creek. Over the years, portions of the channel leading to their boat basin have filled in with mud and silt to the point that larger draft boats are having difficulty in accessing the marina and repair yard. After the previous owner of the Marina passed away this year, the new owners (his son, brother and brother—in- law) have decided they need to undertake needed channel excavation work to maintain the integrity of the business. The applicants (Duck Creek Marina) are seeking permission to excavate up to an approximately 2,350' long to -7' normal water level (nwl) deep channel. The first approx 210' of channel leading out of the boat basin will be excavated to a width of 30' with the remaining 2,140' of channel being excavated to a 40' width. Except for the area closest to the basin, existing water depths within the channel range from -5'to -7' nwl with the vast majority of depths being -6' or deeper. Water depths in the channel adjacent to the basin range from-3'/:'to -6 %' with the majority being -5' or shallower. The applicant's proposed channel will terminate in wate, depths of -7 to -8' nw! deep. This is where some years ago, a property owner along Duck Creek received state and federal permits and excavated a 50' wide to -8' nwl deep access channel in Duck Creek all the way out to the Neuse River. The applicant is proposing to perform this excavation work by hydraulic dredg with the -: oils being placed within an existing man-made pond locaied at the back (north) of the boat yard. Thw pond is approx. 160'long x 150' wide -7' deep. The US Army Corps of Engineers has conducted an on -site evaluation of the property and has determined that the pond is a jurisdictional wetland. The berm and the previously filled areas adjacent to the pond were not determined to be wetlands and there is no direct connection from the pond to jurisdictional wetlands or surface waters. This spoil site was selected after the applicant evaluated potential spoil sites in the nearby area and could not find a suitable one that was available and not a wetland site. A barge and bucket excavation was also considered but the cost and the direct and secondary impacts of removing the material from the creek and from the site made this type of operation unfeasible. Brown Dredging Company has conducted an on -site evaluation of the dredging and proposed spoil disposal site. They estimate that approx. 5,000 cubic yards of mud and silt will be excavated. This is because not all of the channel area footprint will be excavated and in some areas only a s*all aftsmom material will be removed. , Future maintenance dredging requirements are not known. g JAN 10 ?r,l. Based upon the volume of material being removed and the existing size and depth of the existing pond, the proposed spoil disposal site (i.e. the existing pond) should be adequate. It is estimated that the pond with its adjacent dike could contain approx.12,800 cu.yds. of material. A water control structure will be placed in the berm and any needed dike work will be performed before excavation begins. The water effluent from the dredging operation will be transferred from the water control structure via a pipe and will discharge into the existing ditch which ultimately empties into Duck Creek. To minimize scouring, a rock apron will be placed in the ditch at the pipe discharge location. Two check dams will also be placed in the ditch downstream from the discharge location. It is believed that after the excavation ends, the elevation of the pond will be below or near its previous elevation (i.e. before the pond was excavated). The applicants already have thirteen (13) pile supported channel markers in Duck Creek within the proposed channel leading to their marina facility. Three (3) of these channel markers will need to be slightly relocated after the excavation work to better identify the channel's location. Seven (7) new pile support channel markers are also proposed which will better define the navigational channel, particularly at its upper end. All markers will be in conformance to applicable US Coast Guard and NC Wildlife Commission rules and regulations. SOM FAM f I ,.

Proiect Summary: The applicant wishes to dredge the existing access channel in Duck Creek that leads into the 58-slip commercial marina basin. Field Investigation Report: Duck Creek Marina Paec 2 9. Narrative Description: This site is used for a commercial marina and boat yard, known as Duck Creek Manna, located at 699 Galloway Road near Bridgeton, Craven County. The manna basin supports 58 boat slips. The property is 12.7 acres and is adjacent to Duck Creek. The adjacent properties are undeveloped. The lot has approximately 2,085' of shoreline along Duck Creek. There is a gravel parking area and around the marina basin. There is an office, dry storage, and haul -out at the west end of the basin. The boat yard is west of the office/dry storage building, and there is a borrow pit pond just west of the boat yard. There is also a drainage ditch on the northern property boundary that empties into Duck Creek. The average elevation of the high ground of the parcel is +8' above the normal water level (nwl). Vegetation on this particular tract is mainly comprised of trees, lawn grasses, and Section 404 Wetland areas along the western property boundary. There are Coastal Wetlands on the northeastern boundary of the property, adjacent to Duck Creek. There is not a defined Federal Channel in this area of the Neuse River; however there is an existing marked channel leading into the marina basin. Offshore water depths adjacent to the tract range from about —5.5' to —7' nwl. This waterbody is approximately 200' across at this location. This location is a part of the Neuse River basin. It is subject to wind driven tides and low energy wave action due to its sinuosity and such a narrow fetch. These Public Trust Waters of Duck Creek are not classified as a Primary Nursery Area and there is no submerged aquatic vegetation present. These waters are classified as Inland Fishing Waters. This area is closed to shellfish harvest and is classified as SC; Sw, Nutrient Sensitive Waters. There are (high marsh) Coastal Wetlands adjacent to the proposed project area. The bottom substrate is firm without shell. 10. Proposed Development: The applicant wishes to perform maintenance excavation of the entrance channel that accesses the mouth of the marina basin for continued commercial use. The applicant wishes to relocate seven existing channel markers. The applicant also wishes to contain the dredge spoils in the borrow pit pond on site. The proposed maintenance excavation will restore the access channel to its previous -7' nwl depth (ref. State Dredge and Fill Permit #196-76). The access channel that is to be dredged is 2,350' long and approximately 35' wide. It spans from the entrance to the Duck Creek Marina's basin heading south towards the Neuse River and stops at the entrance to the borrow pit pond, midway downstream of Duck Creek. Seven of the existing channel markers will be relocated to more accurately mark the edges of the access channel. The spoils from the dredging will be hydraulically pumped into the existing pond behind the manna's boat yard. This pond is 160' long, 150' wide, and -12' deep. The dewatering discharge pipe will be Brad Connell November 28, 2012 Morehead City Field Investigation Report: Duck Creek Marina Page 3 located on the northwest end of the pond. It will direct discharge water into the existing ditch on the northern property boundary. There will be a series of three rip rap check dams to control flow velocity and trap any potential loose sediment. The discharge waters will then return to Duck Creek via this existing storm water drainage ditch. 11. Anticipated Impacts: It is anticipated that there will be temporary, but elevated turbidity levels during the course of hydraulic excavation of the channel. The man-made wetland pond will be filled by dewatered spoil material. The maintenance excavation and relocation of the existing channel markers will improve navigation through this portion of Duck Creek. The waters of Duck Creek are classified as SC; Sw, Nutrient Sensitive Waters at this location and are not designated as a Primary Nursery Area. These waters are closed to the harvest of shellfish and there are no beds of submerged aquatic vegetation present. This proposal is subject to the NCDWQ Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer Rules. Brad Connell November 28, 2012 Morehead City RECEIVED Project Narrative ! NOV 26 7uiL Duck Creek Marina (Marina) is a 58 slip marina located on Duck Creek, in the Town of Bridgeton, Chian County. The tract of land on which the marina facility is located is approx. 12.7 acres in size. The marina owners also own an adjacent .7 acre lot which is adjacent to Duck Creek and the marina facility. This lot has a single family residence and a portion of its shoreline has been stabilized with riprap. Adjacent properties are undeveloped. Both properties are serviced with individual septic tanks and well water. Duck Creek is a smaller tributary of the Neuse River. It has been designated as SC, SW, NSW by the NC Environmental Commission and as Inland Waters with jurisdiction lying with the NC Wildlife Commission. There was no submerged aquatic vegetation observed in the channel portion of Duck Creek leading to the Marina. Duck Creek is not designated as a Primary Nursery Area. The Marina facility provides haul -out services with a 35 ton travel lift and has a large repair yard for its customers. Duck Creek Marina has been in existence at this location since at least the early 1970's. In 1976, state and federal permits (Dredge and Fill Permit No. 196-76) were issued to Duck Creek Marina and authorized the upland expansion of their existing boat basin. The permitted depth of the basin was -8' below normal water level. Subsequent permit authorizations were obtained for the existing travel lift infrastructure and various sections of shoreline stabilizations. North of the Marina complex (the docks, marina office, storage building and storage yard) there exist an approx. 130' wide x 120' long x 7' deep pond which was excavated during the initial construction of the marina facility. An approx. 4' high berm is located along the perimeter of the pond. Beyond the berm and adjacent filled areas, a 404 forested wetland area exist on the north and west sides of the pond. Along the eastern side of the property, an existing ditch runs the entire length of the property and ultimately discharges into Duck Creek. Over the years, portions of the channel leading to their boat basin have filled in with mud and silt to the point that larger draft boats are having difficulty in accessing the marina and repair yard. After the previous owner of the Marina passed away this year, the new owners (his son, brother and brother —in- law) have decided they need to undertake needed channel excavation work to maintain the integrity of the business. The applicants (Duck Creek Marina) are seeking permission to excavate up to an approximately 2,350' long to -7' normal water level (nwl) deep channel. The first approx 210' of channel leading out of the boat basin will be excavated to a width of 30' with the remaining 2,140' of channel being excavated to a 40' width. Except for the area closest to the basin, existing water depths within the channel range from -5 'to -7' nwl with the vast majority of depths being -6' or deeper. Water depths in the channel adjacent to the basin range from -3 h ' to -6 W with the majority being -5' or shallower. ( RECEIVED NOV 2 6 2012 The applicant's proposed channel will terminate in water depths of -7 to -8' nwl deep. TWS ib*M-DCITY some years ago, a property owner along Duck Creek received state and federal permits and excavated a 50' wide to -8' nwl deep access channel in Duck Creek all the way out to the Neuse River. The applicant is proposing to perform this excavation work by hydraulic dredge with the spoils being placed within an existing man-made pond located at the back (north) of the boat yard. The pond is approx. 160'long x 150' wide -7' deep. The US Army Corps of Engineers has conducted an on -site evaluation of the property and has determined that the pond is a jurisdictional wetland. The berm and the previously filled areas adjacent to the pond were not determined to be wetlands and there is no direct connection from the pond to jurisdictional wetlands or surface waters. This spoil site was selected after the applicant evaluated potential spoil sites in the nearby area and could not find a suitable one that was available and not a wetland site. A barge and bucket excavation was also considered but the cost and the direct and secondary impacts of removing the material from the creek and from the site made this type of operation unfeasible. Brown Dredging Company has conducted an on -site evaluation of the dredging and proposed spoil disposal site. They estimate that approx. 5,000 cubic yards of mud and silt will be excavated. This is because not all of the channel area footprint will be excavated and in some areas only a small amount of material will be removed. Future maintenance dredging requirements are not known Based upon the volume of material being removed and the existing size and depth of the existing pond, the proposed spoil disposal site (i.e. the existing pond) should be adequate. It is estimated that the pond with its adjacent dike could contain approx.12,800 cu.yds. of material. A water control structure will be placed in the berm and any needed dike work will be performed before excavation begins. The water effluent from the dredging operation will be transferred from the water control structure via a pipe and will discharge into the existing ditch which ultimately empties into Duck Creek. To minimize scouring, a rock apron will be placed in the ditch at the pipe discharge location. Two check dams will also be placed in the ditch downstream from the discharge location. It is believed that after the excavation ends, the elevation of the pond will be below or near its previous elevation (i.e. before the pond was excavated). The applicants already have thirteen (13) pile supported channel markers in Duck Creek within the proposed channel leading to their marina facility. Three (3) of these channel markers will need to be slightly relocated after the excavation work to better identify the channel's location. Seven (7) new pile support channel markers are also proposed which will better define the navigational channel, particularly at its upper end. All markers will be in conformance to applicable US Coast Guard and NC Wildlife Commission rules and regulations. DIVISION OF COASTAL rVIANAGEMENT FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT 1.

Narrative Description: This site is used for a commercial marina and boat yard, known as Duck Creek Marina, located at 699 Galloway Road near Bridgeton, Craven County. The marina basin supports 58 boat slips. The property is 12.7 acres and is adjacent to Duck Creek. The adjacent properties are undeveloped. The lot has approximately 2,085' of shoreline along Duck Creek. There is a gravel parking area and around the marina basin. There is an office, dry storage, and haul -out at the west end of the basin. The boat yard is west of the office/dry storage building, and there is a borrow pit pond just west of the boat yard. There is also a drainage ditch on the northern property boundary that empties into Duck Creek. The average elevation of the high ground of the parcel is +8' above the normal water level (nwl). Vegetation on this particular tract is mainly comprised of trees, lawn grasses, and Section 404 Wetland areas along the western property boundary. There are Coastal Wetlands on the northeastern boundary of the property, adjacent to Duck Creek. There is not a defined Federal Channel in this area of the Neuse River; however there is an existing marked channel leading into the marina basin. Offshore water depths adjacent to the tract range from about —5.5' to —7' nwl. This waterbody is approximately 200' across at this location. This location is a part of the Neuse River basin. It is subject to wind driven tides and low energy wave action due to its sinuosity and such a narrow fetch. These Public Trust Waters of Duck Creek are not classified as a Primary Nursery Area and there is no submerged aquatic vegetation present. These waters are classified as Inland Fishing Waters. This area is closed to shellfish harvest and is classified as SC; Sw, Nutrient Sensitive Waters. There are (high marsh) Coastal Wetlands adjacent to the proposed project area. The bottom substrate is firm without shell. 10. Proposed Development: The applicant wishes to perform maintenance excavation of the entrance channel that accesses the mouth of the marina basin for continued commercial use. The applicant wishes to relocate seven existing channel markers. The applicant also wishes to contain the dredge spoils in the borrow pit pond on site. The proposed maintenance excavation will restore the access channel to its previous -7' nwl depth (ref. State Dredge and Fill Permit #196-76). The access channel that is to be dredged is 2,350' long and approximately 35' wide. It spans from the entrance to the Duck Creek Marina's basin heading south towards the Neuse River and stops at the entrance to the borrow pit pond, midway downstream of Duck Creek. Seven of the existing channel markers will be relocated to more accurately mark the edges of the access channel. The spoils from the dredging will be hydraulically pumped into the existing pond behind the marina's boat yard. --This pond is T601otig� 150' wide; and =22' deep: -The dewatering discharge pipe will be - Brad Connell November 28, 2012 Morehead City Field Investigation Report: Duck Creek Marina Page 3 located on the north,,vest end of the pond. It will direct discharge water into the existing ditch on the northern property boundary. There will be a serks of three rip rap check dams to control flow velocity and trap any potentia! loose sediment. The discharge waters will then return to Duck Creek via this existing storin water d:-ainage ditch. 11. Anticivated Impacts: It is anticipated that there will be temporary, but elevated turbidity levels during the course of hydraulic excavation of the channel. The man-made wetland pond will be filled by dewatered spoil material. The maintenance excavation and relocation of the existing channel markers will improve navigation through this portion of Duck Creek. The waters of Duck Creek are classified as SC; Sw, Nutrient Sensitive Waters at this location and are not designated as a Primary Nursery Area. These waters are closed to the harvest of shellfish and there are no beds of submerged aquatic vegetation present. This proposal is subject to the NCDWQ Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer Rules. fi RECMTD DEC 18 2012 6 DCM-MHD CITY Brad Connell November 28, 2012 Morehead City Project Narrative Duck Creek Marina (Marina) is a 58 slip marina located on Duck Creek, in the Town of Bridgeton;'Craven County. The tract of land on which the marina facility is located is approx. 12.7 acres in size. The marina owners also own an adjacent .7 acre lot which is adjacent to Duck Creek and the marina facility. This lot has a single family residence and a portion of its shoreline has been stabilized with riprap. Adjacent properties are undeveloped. Both properties are serviced with individual septic tanks and well water. Duck Creek is a smaller tributary of the Neuse River. It has been designated as SC; SW, NSW by the NC Environmental Commission and as Inland Waters with jurisdiction lying with the NC Wildlife Commission. There was no submerged aquatic vegetation observed in the channel portion of Duck Creek leading to the Marina. Duck Creek is not designated as a Primary Nursery Area. The Marina facility provides haul -out services with a 35 ton travel lift and has a large repair yard for its customers. Duck Creek Marina has been in existence at this location since at least the early 1970's. In 1976, state and federal permits (Dredge and Fill Permit No. 196-76) were issued to Duck Creek Marina and authorized the upland expansion of their existing boat basin. The permitted depth of the basin was -8' below normal water level. Subsequent permit authorizations were obtained for the existing travel lift infrastructure and various sections of shoreline stabilizations. North of the Marina complex (the docks, marina office, storage building and storage yard) there exist an approx. 130' wide x 120' long x 7' deep pond which was excavated during the initial construction of the marina facility. An approx. 4' high berm is located along the perimeter of the pond. Beyond the berm and adjacent filled areas, a 404 forested wetland area exist on the north and west sides of the pond. Along the eastern side of the property, an existing ditch runs the entire length of the property and ultimately discharges into Duck Creek. Over the years, portions of the channel leading to their boat basin have filled in with mud and silt to the point that larger draft boats are having difficulty in accessing the marina and repair yard. After the previous owner of the Marina passed away this year, the new owners (his son, brother and brother —in- law) have decided they need to undertake needed channel excavation work to maintain the integrity of the business. The applicants (Duck Creek Marina) are seeking permission to excavate up to an approximately 2,350' long to -7' normal water level (nwl) deep channel. The first approx 210' of channel leading out of the boat basin will be excavated to a width of 30' with the remaining 2,140' of channel being excavated to a 40' width. Except for the area closest to the basin, existing water depths within the channel range from -5 ' to -7' nwl with the vast majority of depths being -6' or deeper. Water depths'in the channel adjacent to the basin range from -3 % 'to -6 %' with the majority being -5' or shallower. The applicant's proposed channel will terminate in water depths of -7 to -8' nwl deep. This is where some years ago, a property owner along Ducr Creek received state and federal permits and excavated a 50' wide to -8' nwl deep access channel in Duck Creek all the way out to the Neuse River. The applicant is proposing to perform this excavation wcr'c by hydraulic dredge with the spoils being placed within an existing man-made pond located at the back (north) of the boat yard. 'I he pond is approx. 160'long x 150' wide -7' deep. The US Army Corps of Engineers has conducted an on -site evaluation of the property and has determined that the pond is a jurisdictional wetland. The berm and the previously filled areas adjacent to the pond were not determined to be wetlands and there is no direct connection from the pond to jurisdictional wetlands or surface waters. This spoil site was selected after the applicant evaluated potential spoil sites in the nearby area and could not find a suitable one that was available and not a wetland site. A barge and bucket excavation was also considered but the cost and the direct and secondary impacts of removing the material from the creek and from the site made this type of operation unfeasible. Brown Dredging Company has conducted an on -site evaluation of the dredging and proposed spoil disposal site. They estimate that approx. 5,000 cubic yards of mud and silt will be excavated. This is because not all of the channel area footprint will be excavated and in some areas only a small amount of material will be removed. Future maintenance dredging requirements are not known. Based upon the volume of material being removed and the existing size and depth of the existing pond, the proposed spoil disposal site (i.e. the existing pond) should be adequate. It is estimated that the pond with its adjacent dike could contain approx. 12,800 cu.yds. of material. A water control structure will be placed in the berm and any needed dike work will be performed before excavation begins. The. water effluent from the dredging operation will be transferred from the water control structure via a pipe and will discharge into the existing ditch which ultimately empties into Duck Creek. To minimize scouring, a rock apron will be placed in the ditch at the pipe discharge location. Two check dams will also be placed in the ditch downstream from the discharge location. It is believed that after the excavation ends, the elevation of the pond will be below or near its previous elevation (i.e. before the pond was excavated). The applicants already have thirteen (13) pile supported channel markers in Duck Creek within the proposed channel leading to their marina facility. Three (3) of these channel markers will need to be slightly relocated after the excavation work to better identify the channel's location. Seven (7) new pile support channel markers are also proposed which will better define the navigational channel, particularly at its upper end. All markers will be in conformance to applicable US Coast Guard and NC Wildlife Commission rules and regulations. IWkEECIMM DFr- I R �T» I!

The tract of land on which the marina facility is located is approx.12.7 acres in size. The marina owners also own an adjacent .7 acre lot which is adjacent to Duck Creek and the marina facility. This lot has a single family residence and a portion of its shoreline has been stabilized with riprap. Adjacent properties are undeveloped. Both properties are serviced with individual septic tanks and well water. The marina facility provides haul -out services with a 35 ton travel lift and has a large repair yard for its customers. Duck Creek Marina has been in existence at this location since at least the early 1970's. In 1976, state and federal permits were issued to Duck Creek Marina and authorized the upland expansion of their existing boat basin. The permitted depth of the basin was -8' below normal water level. Subsequent permit authorizations were obtained for the existing travel lift infrastructure and various sections of shoreline stabilizations., North of the marina complex (the docks, marina office, storage building and storage yard) there exist an approx. 13Y wide x 120' long x 7' deep pond which was excavated during the initial construction of the marina facility. An approx. 4' high berm is located along the perimeter of the pond. Beyond the berm and adjacent filled areas, a 404 forested wetland area exist on the north and west sides of the pond. Along the eastern side of the property, an existing ditch runs the entire length of the property and ultimately discharges into Duck Creek. Over the years, portions of the channel leading to their boat basin have filled in to the point that larger draft boats are having difficulty in accessing the marina and repair yard. After the previous owner of the marina passed away this year, the new owners (his son, brother and brother —in-law) have decided they need to undertake needed channel excavation work to maintain the integrity of the business. The applicants (Duck Creek Marina) are seeking permission to excavate up to an approximately 2,350' long to -7' normal water level (nwl) deep channel. The first approx 230' of channel leading out of the boat basin will be excavated to a width of MY with the remaining 2,140' of channel being excavated to a 40' width. Except for the area closest to the basin, existing water depths within the channel range from -5' to -7' nwl with the vast majority of depths being -6' or deeper. Water depths in the channel adjacent to the basin range from -3 Y:'to -6 Y2' with the majority being -5' or shallower. The applicant's proposed channel will terminate in water depths of -7 to -8' nwl deep. This is where some years ago, a property owner along Duck Creek received state and federal permits and excavated a 50' wide to -8' nwl deep access channel in Duck Creek all the way out to the Neuse River. The applicants have pile supported channel markers in Duck Creek leading to their marina facility. A few of these channel markers will need to be slightly relocated after the channel excavation work to better identify the channel's location. • The applicant is proposing to perform this excavation work by hydraulic dredge with the spoils being placed within an existing man-made pond located at the back (north) of the boat yard. The pond is approx. 160'long x 150' wide -7' deep. The US Army Corps of Engineers has conducted an on -site evaluation of the property and has determined that the pond is a jurisdictional wetland. The berm and the previously filled areas adjacent to the pond were not determined to be wetlands. This spoil site was selected after the applicant evaluated potential spoil sites in the nearby area and could not find a suitable that was available and not a wetland site. A barge and bucket excavation was also considered but the cost and the direct and secondary impacts of removing the material from the creek and from the site made this type of operation unfeasible. Brown Dredging Company has conducted an on -site evaluation of the dredging and proposed spoil disposal site. They estimate that approx. 5,000 cubic yards of mud and silt will be excavated. This is because not all of the channel area footprint will be excavated and in some areas only a small amount of material will be removed. Based upon the volume of material being removed and the existing size and depth of the existing pond, the proposed spoil disposal site (i.e. the existing pond) should be adequate. A water control structure will be placed in the berm and any needed dike work will be performed before excavation begins. The water effluent from the dredging operation will be transferred from the water control structure via a pipe and will discharge into the existing ditch which ultimately empties into Duck Creek. To minimize scouring, a rock apron will be placed in the ditch at the pipe discharge location. Several check dams will also be placed in the ditch downstream from the discharge location. It is believed that after the excavation ends, the elevation of the pond will be below or near its pre -excavated elevation. RECP.IyBD ok .
