State of North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources Division of Coastal Management James B. Hunt, Jr., Governor Jonathan B. Howes, Secretary Roger N. Schecter, Director May 8, 1996 MEMORANDUM TO: Carolyn Jarman FROM: John Parker SUBJECT: Application Processing Fee Refund �EHNR This is to request a check in the amount of $250.00 to be made payable to Mr. Thurman D. Garner, Jr. (SS#243-80-6505) to refund a processing fee for a CAMA permit. Mr. Garner has withdrawn his request. Staff believes the refund fair and appropriate because Mr. Garner was inadvertently lead to believe by personnel of another Division that water classification would make permit issuance, all things being considered, likely. The water classification given him was in error and by Rules of the CRC, permit denial is required. He would not have applied had he known the outcome was set by Rule as a denial. Mr. Gainer's address is P. O. Box 234, Smyrna, NC 28579. Please advise this office when the refund is available or mailed directly to him. JP/aw P.O.

Pigott SUBJECT: Withdrawal of Major CAMA Permit application for Thurman Garner DATE: May 2, 1996 Enclosed is a letter from Mr. Thurman Garner requesting his Major CAMA Permit application be withdrawn. Mr. Garner is also requesting the application fee be refunded due to misinformation provided to him from us and the Division of Marine Fisheries. Mr. Garner was advised prior to applying for a permit that the Creek was not a primary nursery area (PNA). It was only after we had accepted his application and circulated the project that Marine Fisheries informed us and him that the area was in fact a PNA and recommended denial of the project. Mr. Garner has stated that he would not have applied for a permit if had known the Creek was a PNA up front. I would recommend that we refund the application fee to the applicant. cc: Preston P.

Box 769 Morehead City, NC 28557 Dear Mr. Pigott: I would like to withdraw my permit application to excavate an access channel into Wolf Pit Creek and I would also like to request a refund of my permit application fee. As you know, everyone (including you and Marine Fisheries) were under the impression that Wolf Pit Creek was not a primary nursery area. It was only after I applied for a permit did Marine Fisheries decide that the information previously given was wrong and that I would not be able to receive a permit because it was in a primary nursery area. If only I had known this up front I would have never applied. Therefore, I feel the State has some responsibility and should at least refund my money. If you have any questions, please contact me.

Garner, Jr., Carteret County DATE: March 4, 1996 Mr. Garner's property is located off SR 1348 "Lige Piner Road", adjacent Wolf Pit Creek, Smyrna, Carteret County. He proposes to excavate an access channel and boat basin adjacent to his property. AECs impacted by the proposed work include Estuarine Waters, Public Trust Areas and the Estuarine Shoreline. Waters at the site are classified as SA and are open to the harvesting of shellfish. Wolf Pit Creek has not been designated by the Division of Marine Fisheries as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA), although the Field Investigation Report states that it possesses some of the functions of a PNA. I have reviewed this proposal for consistency with the 1991 Carteret County Land Use Plan (LUP) Update, as amended September 24, 1993, and offer the following comments. The general area of the project is classified as Rural, while the AECs impacted by the work are classified as Conservation. Allowed uses in Conservation classified areas are addressed in the Resource Protection and Resource Production and Management Policy sections of the Land Use Plan. Applicable policies include those for Marine Resource Areas (Page IV-11). The LUP states the County's support for the 7H Use Standards for estuarine and public trust waters, with a few exceptions, none of which appear to be applicable to this project. Based on the above policy (and the absence of any policy which would appear to preclude this activity), this project appears to be consistent with the amended 1991 Carteret County Land Use Plan, provided all state standards can be met.

Garner, Jr. Project Location: off SR1348 "Lige Piner Road", Wolf Pit Creek, Smyrna, Carteret County Proposed Project: to excavate an access channel and boat basin The North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF) has reviewed the application for work proposed by the Thurman D. Garner, Jr., reviewed the Field Investigation Report compiled by CAMA, and conducted a site visit. The following comments by the NCDMF are provided pursuant to General Statute 113-131. This agency objects to this project because Wolf Pit Creek, although we indicated earlier that it was not, is within an area designated by the North Carolina Marine Fisheries Commission as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA). Wolf Pit Creek is a tributary of Tusk Creek and is upstream of the PNA boundary for Tusk Creek. Tusk Creek's PNA boundary is described in N. C. Fisheries Rules for Coastal Waters. The coordinates for Tusk Creek's boundary found in rule were plotted three times and on different chart scales and clearly indicates Wolf Pit Creek being within the PNA, contrary to how it originally appeared on the navigation chart used by our section. Evidence exists that Wolf Pit Creek was previously used as a boat harbor, P.O.

Parker, Jr., Coordinator Major Permits Processing Section Division of Coastal Management, DEHNR Z FROM: V3 William Wescott, Coastal Coordinator Habitat Conservation Program DATE: March 1, 1996 SUBJECT: CAMA/Dredge and Fill Permit Application for Thurman D. Garner, Jr., Off SR1348, Wolf Pit Road, Smyrna, Carteret County. Biologists on the Wildlife Resources Commission staff have reviewed this permit application and are familiar with habitat values of the project area. Our comments are provided in. accordance with provisions of the Coastal Area Management Act (G.S. 113A-100 through 113A- 128), as amended, and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.). The applicant proposes to excavate in Wolf Pit Creek a 170 ft. long x 18 ft. wide access channel to a depth of -3 ft. MLW. At the landward end of the access channel a 35 ft. long x 18 to 25 ft. wide x -3 ft. deep MLW boat basin is also proposed at the location of the existing dock. All excavation is proposed to be accomplished by the use of a clam shell bucket mounted on a small barge. The material excavated would primarily be mud and silt which would be placed on a barge and then off-loaded to a truck which would dispose of the material in the applicants yard. The waters of Wolf Pit Creek are classified as SA and are open to shellfish harvest. Wolf Pit Creek is not designated by the Division of Marine Fisheries as a Primary Nursery Area but certainly possess some of those functions. Other creeks in the vicinity and parts of Jarretts Bay are PNAs. The adverse impact anticipated to result from the project is turbidity associated with dredging. Elevated turbidity could reduce water quality and stress marine organisms in the area, particularly during warm weather. Excessive turbidity could be detrimental to the larval stage of marine organisms. Considering the quality of the water and the estuarine system, we request a dredging moratorium between April 1 and September 30. According to the maps provided with the application, the mouth of Wolf Pit Creek is approximately 80 ft. wide. The project site can be Thurman Garner, Jr. 2 March 1, 1996 isolated from Jarretts Bay by positioning a silt curtain/boom across the mouth of Wolf Pit Creek. The silt curtain/boom should be installed prior to dredging and remain in place for a minimum of 72 hours after dredging is complete. We appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on this project.

Crow, Director We have reviewed the above permit application concerning proposed plans to excavate an access channel and boat basin. Our staff inspected the project specifications carefully and determined that the dredging constitutes a major bottom disturbance. In the underwater portions of this project no known archaeological sites are recorded. Based on our present knowledge of the area, it is unlikely that any submerged archaeological resources which may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places will be affected by the project construction. We, therefore, recommend that no underwater archaeological investigation be conducted in connection with this project. There are no known archaeological sites within the proposed project area. Based on our present knowledge of the area, it is unlikely that any archaeological resources which may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places will be affected by the project construction. We would like to notify you that this project should be undertaken with caution. If during construction submerged archaeological materials are encountered, such as shipwreck remains, it is the responsibility of the Army Corps of Engineers- Wilmington.District to notify this office immediately, pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. In addition, the area is protected by North Carolina legislation (G.S. 121-22 to 28, Article 3: salvage of Abandoned shipwrecks and other underwater archaeological materials on all bottoms from low water to one marine league seaward, and bottoms of other navigable waters). This law is supported by the Abandoned Shipwreck Act of 1987 (P.L. 100-298) which 109 East Jones Street • Raleigh, North Carolina 27601-2807 8�� gives the state jurisdiction over a broad range of living and nonliving resources in state waters and submerged lands, including certain abandoned shipwrecks, which have been deserted and to which the owner has relinquished ownership rights with no retention.

Proposed Project: Excavation of an access channel and boat basin. The North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF) has reviewed the application for work proposed by the Thurman D. Garner, Jr., reviewed the Field Investigation Report compiled by CAMA, and conducted a site visit with Mr. Garner present. The following comments by the NCDMF are provided pursuant to General Statute 113-131. This agency objects to this project and recomends denial because Wolf Pit Creek, although we indicated earlier that it was not, is within an area designated by the North Carolina Marine Fisheries Commission as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA). Wolf Pit Creek is a tributary of Tusk Creek and is upstream of the PNA boundary for Tusk Creek. Tusk Creek's PNA boundary is described in N. C. Fisheries Rules for Coastal Waters. The coordinates for Tusk Creek's boundary found in rule were plotted three times and on different chart scales. These P.O.

As a PNA, Wolf Pit Creek is an area which for reasons such as food, cover, bottom type, salinity, temperature and other factors, young finfish and crustaceans spend the major portion of their initial growing season. Primary Nursery Areas are those areas in the estuarine system where initial post -larval development takes place. These areas are usually located in the uppermost sections of a system where populations are uniformly very early juvenile (15A, NCAC 3N .0002 (a)(b)). Primary Nursery Areas are defined as Critical Habitat Areas (CHA's) by the NCMFC. Critical Habitat Areas are fragile estuarine and marine areas that support juvenile and adult populations of economically important seafood species, as well as forage species important in the food chain. ,.State of North Carolina f Department of Environment, i Health and Natural Resources Division of Coastal Management James B.

Sperberg District Engineer, Wilmington District Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers P. O. Box 1890 Wilmington, North Carolina 28402-1890 Attention Jeff Richter Dear Colonel Sperberg: In accordance with Part II, Section 4 of the current Memorandum of Agreement between the Departments of Commerce and the Army, I am offering the following comments on permit application 199602966(GP) dated February 20, 1996. The applicant, Mr. Thurman D Garner, Jr., proposes to excavate an access channel and boat basin near Smyrna, Carteret County, North Carolina. The purpose of the work is to improve access to the applicant's existing dock. The proposed project consists of using a backhoe and barge to excavate a 170-foot-long by 18-foot-wide by 3-foot-deep access channel in the waters of Wolf Pit Creek. Also proposed is the construction of a 35-foot-long by 25-foot-wide by 3-foot-deep boat basin adjacent to the uplands. The proposed work would generate approximately 200 cubic yards of silt/mud material which would be deposited on adjacent highground. Based on a March 13, 1996, on -site inspection by a National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) biologist, we have determined that this work will be detrimental to fishery resources. The project area consists of a tidal creek that connects to Jarretts Bay and Core Sound. The edges of the creek are vegetated with saltmeadow cordgrass (Spartina patens) marsh and the bottom is characterized by mud/silt sediments. According to the public notice, the project area is not designated as a primary nursery area (PNA), however, based on our observations, we believe that it functions as a PNA. A PNA is defined in the regulations of the North Carolina Division of Marine. Fisheries as those areas in which for reasons such as food, cover, bottom type, salinity, temperature and other factors, young finfish and crustaceans spend the major portion of their initial growing season.l Fishery resources of commercial, 1North Carolina Fisheries Rules for Coastal Waters. 1995-1996. Subchapter 3N-Nursery Areas, Part .0002. N.C. Marine Fisheries rnmmiccinn_ _ r` � �0 f recreational, and ecological importance that utilize the project area include Atlantic croaker (Microp000nias undulatus), spot (Leiostomus xanthurus), spotted seatrout (Cvnoscion nebulosus), flounders (Paralichthvs spp.), Atlantic menhaden (Brevoortia tvrannus), striped mullet (Muail cephalus), hard clams (Mercenaria mercenaria), American oyster (Crassostrea virainica), shrimp (Penaeus spp.), and blue crab (Callinectes sapidus). This work will result in the alteration of a small area of shallow water habitat that functions as a PNA. Also, dredging this creek will encourage additional boating activity and thereby increase the incidental discharge of pollutants. The area is currently designated as SA waters by the N.C. Shellfish Sanitation Section and is open to the harvest of shellfish. Additional boat traffic could result in the closure of this area to shellfishing. The NMFS is opposed to any work that will adversely impact living marine resources. Therefore, we recommend that federal authorization of this project not be granted. Alternatively, the applicant can continue to use the creek as he has in the past. cc: FWS, ATLA, GA FWS, Raleigh, NC EPA, ATLA, GA NCDEHNR, Raleigh, NC NCDEHNR, Morehead City, NC SAFMC, Charleston, SC F/SE02 Since y An eas Mage ,J Assistant Regional Director Habitat Conservation Division State of North Carolina ' 'TTVMVVATA Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources 1 Division of Coastal Management James B.

PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to excavate an access channel and boat basin adjacent to his property. FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT: Thurman D. Garner, Jr./Carteret County PAGE H2 9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The applicant's property is an ± 2 acre tract of land located off the Lige Piner Road (SR1348) between the communities of Smyrna and Marshallberg in Carteret County. To reach the applicants property one would turn left on the first driveway on the left after entering the Lige Piner Road. A single family residence (on pilings) is constructed on the property and there are also several outbuildings or sheds. The property is bordered on the west by Wolf Pit Creek, which is a tidal tributary of Jarrett's Bay. The applicant's shoreline consists of a ± 5 to 85' wide border of coastal wetlands vegetated primarily with Spartina alterniora. The Creek, at the project site, is ± 50' wide with water depths ranging from ± -1' mean low water (ML.W). to ± -6' MLW at the mouth of Wolf Pit Creek. The creek bottom consists primarily of mud and silty material. The applicant has constructed a small dock which extends into the Creek for ± 15'. The waters of the Creek have been classified as SA and are open to the harvesting of shellfish. The applicant proposes to excavate in the Creek a ± 170' long x 18' wide access channel to a depth of -3' MLW deep. At the landward end of the access channel a ± 35' long x 18 to 25' wide to -3' MLW deep boat basin is also proposed at the location of the existing dock. All excavation is proposed to be accomplished by the use of a clam shell bucket mounted of a small barge. The material excavated would primarily be mud and silt which would be placed on a barge and then off-loaded to a truck which would dispose of the material in the applicants yard. 10. ANTICIPATED U%IPACTS: The project as proposed will result in the excavation of ± 4,0002of shallow water bottom area with the removal of ± 200 cu. yds. of silt and mud material. All excavation is proposed to be accomplished with the use of a clam shell bucket mounted on a barge with the spoil material being unloaded in the applicant's yard. Wolf Pit Creek is not designated by the Division of Marine Fisheries as a Primarily Nursery Area but certainly possess some of their functions. Turbidity levels will be increased by the dredging operation but the negative impact from this could be minimized if dredging was timed to periods of least biological activities. The applicant has indicated that portions of the Creek (including the project area) were previously excavated and there is some evidence of this having occurred. PREPARED BY: Charles O.

A review of your application received February 14, 1996, for Department of the Army authorization to excavate 3,935 square feet of shallow bottom for the purpose of creating an access channel and boat basin dredge in Wolf Pit Creek, off Lige Piner Road near Smyrna, in Carteret 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. P.. -2- b. It is necessary for you to have taken all appropriate and practical 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 practical mitigation will be required for all unavoidable adverse impacts remaining after all appropriate and practical 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 practical measures. This information is essential to our expeditious processing of your application and it should be forwarded to us by March 22, 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. 199602966 and will be coordinated by Mr. Jeff Richter in our Wilmington Field Office.

PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to excavate an access channel and boat basin adjacent to his property. FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT: Thurman D. Garner, Jr./Carteret County PAGE #2 9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The applicant's property is an ± 2 acre tract of land located off the Lige Piner Road (SR1348) between the communities of Smyrna and Marshallberg in Carteret County. To reach the applicants property one would turn left on the first driveway on the left after entering the Lige Piner Road. A single family residence .(on pilings) is constructed on the property and there are also several outbuildings or sheds. The property is bordered on the west by Wolf Pit Creek, which is a tidal tributary of Jarrett's Bay. The applicant's shoreline consists of a ± 5 to 85' wide border of coastal wetlands vegetated primarily with Spartina alternijlora. The Creek, at the project site, is ± 50' wide with water depths ranging from ± -1' mean low water (MLW) to ± -6' MLW at the mouth of Wolf Pit Creek. The creek bottom consists primarily of mud and silty material. The applicant has constructed a small dock which extends into the Creek for ± 15'. The waters of the Creek have been classified as SA and are open to the harvesting of shellfish. The applicant proposes to excavate in the Creek a ± 170' long x 18' wide access channel to a depth of -3' MLW deep. At the landward end of the access channel a ± 35' long x 18 to 25' wide to -3' MLW deep boat basin is also proposed at the location of the existing dock. All excavation is proposed to be accomplished by the use of a clam shell bucket mounted of a. small barge. The material excavated would primarily be mud and silt which would be placed on a barge and then off-loaded to a truck which would dispose of the material in the applicants yard. 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The project as proposed will result in the excavation of ± 4,0002 of shallow water bottom area with the removal of ± 200 cu. yds.- of silt and mud material. All excavation is proposed to be accomplished with the use of a clam shell bucket mounted on a barge with the spoil material being unloaded in the applicant's yard. Wolf Pit Creek is not designated by the Division of Marine Fisheries as a Primarily Nursery Area but certainly possess some of their functions. Turbidity levels will be increased by the dredging operation but the negative impact from this could be minimized if dredging was timed to periods of least biological activities. The applicant has indicated that portions of the Creek (including the project area) were previously excavated and there is some evidence of this having occurred. PREPARED BY: Charles O.

Box 1890 Wilmington, North Carolina 28402-1890 Attention Jeff Richter Dear Colonel Sperberg: In accordance with Part II, Section 4 of the current Memorandum of Agreement between the Departments of Commerce and the Army, I am offering the following comments on permit application 199602966(GP) dated February 20, 1996. The applicant, Mr. Thurman D Garner, Jr., proposes to excavate an access channel and boat basin near Smyrna, Carteret County, North Carolina. The purpose of the work is to improve access to the applicant's existing dock. The proposed project consists of using a backhoe and barge to excavate a 170-foot-long by 18-foot-wide by 3-foot-deep access channel in the waters of Wolf Pit Creek. Also proposed is the construction of a 35-foot-long by 25-foot-wide by 3-foot-deep boat basin adjacent to the uplands. The proposed work would generate approximately 200 cubic yards of silt/mud material which would be deposited on adjacent highground. Based on a March 13, 1996, on -site inspection by a National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) biologist, we have determined that this work will be detrimental to fishery resources. The project area consists of a tidal creek that connects to Jarretts Bay and Core Sound. The edges of the creek are vegetated with saltmeadow cordgrass (Soartina Patens) marsh and the bottom is characterized by mud/silt sediments. According to the public notice, the project area is not designated as a primary nursery area (PNA), however, based on our observations, we believe that it functions as a PNA. A PNA is defined in the regulations of the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries as those areas in which for reasons such as food, cover, bottom type, salinity, temperature and other factors, young finfish and crustaceans spend the major portion of their initial growing season.l Fishery resources of commercial, 1North Carolina Fisheries Rules for Coastal Waters. 1995-1996. Subchapter 3N-Nursery Areas, Part .0002. N.C. Marine Fisheries Commission. recreational, and ecological importance that utilize the project area include Atlantic croaker (Micr000aonias undulatus), spot (Leiostomus xanthurus), spotted seatrout (Cvnoscion nebulosus), flounders (Paralichthvs spp.), Atlantic menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus), striped mullet (Muail cenhalus), hard clams (Mercenaria mercenaria), American oyster (Crassostrea virainica), shrimp (Penaeus spp.), and blue crab (Callinectes sanidus). This work will result in the alteration of a small area of shallow water habitat that functions as a PNA. Also, dredging this creek will encourage additional boating activity and thereby increase the incidental discharge of pollutants. The area is currently designated as SA waters by the N.C. Shellfish Sanitation Section and is open to the harvest of shellfish. Additional boat traffic could result in the closure of this area to shellfishing. The NMFS is opposed to any work that will adversely impact living marine resources. Therefore, we recommend that federal authorization of this project not be granted. Alternatively, the applicant can continue to use the creek as he has in the past.

PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to excavate an access channel and boat basin adjacent to his property. FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT: Thurman D. Garner, Jr./Carteret County PAGE H2 a 9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The applicant's property is an ± 2 acre tract of land located off the Lige Piner Road (SR1348) between the communities of Smyrna and Marshallberg in Carteret County. To reach the applicants property one would turn left on the first driveway on the left after entering the Lige Piner Road. A single family residence (on pilings) is constructed on the property and there are also several outbuildings or sheds. The property is bordered on the west by Wolf Pit Creek, which is a tidal tributary of Jarrett's Bay. The applicant's shoreline consists of a ± 5 to 85' wide border of coastal wetlands vegetated primarily with Spartina alterniflora. The Creek, at the project site, is ± 50' wide with water depths ranging from ± -l' mean low water (MLW) to ± -6' MLW at the mouth of Wolf Pit Creek. The creek bottom consists primarily of mud and silty material. The applicant has constructed a small dock which extends into the Creek for ± 15'. The waters of the Creek have been classified as SA and are open to the harvesting of shellfish. The applicant proposes to excavate in the Creek a ± 170' long x 18' wide access channel to a depth of -3' MLW deep. At the landward end of the access channel a ± 35' long x 18 to 25' wide to -3' MLW deep boat basin is also proposed at the location of the existing dock. All excavation is proposed to be accomplished by the use of a clam shell bucket mounted of a small barge. The material excavated would primarily be mud and silt which would be placed on a barge and then off-loaded to a truck which would dispose of the material in the applicants yard. 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The project as proposed will result in the excavation of ± 4,0002 of shallow water bottom area with the removal of ± 200 cu. yds. of silt and mud material. All excavation is proposed to be accomplished with the use of a clam shell bucket mounted on a barge with the spoil material being unloaded in the applicant's yard. Wolf Pit Creek is not designated by the Division of Marine Fisheries as a Primarily Nursery Area but certainly possess some of their functions. Turbidity levels will be increased by the dredging operation but the negative impact from this could be minimized if dredging was timed to periods of least biological activities. The applicant has indicated that portions of the Creek (including the project area) were previously excavated and there is some evidence of this having occurred. PREPARED BY: Charles O.

PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to excavate an access channel and boat basin adjacent to his property. FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT: Thurman D. Garner, Jr./Carteret County PAGE #2 9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The applicant's property is an ± 2 acre tract of land located off the Lige Piner Road (SR1348) between the communities of Smyrna and Marshallberg in Carteret County. To reach the applicants property one would turn left on the first driveway on the left after entering the Lige Piner Road. A single family residence (on pilings) is constructed on the property and there are also several outbuildings or sheds. The property is bordered on the west by Wolf Pit Creek, which is a tidal tributary of Jarrett's Bay. The applicant's shoreline consists of a ± 5 to 85' wide border of coastal wetlands vegetated primarily with Spartina alternj2ora. The Creek, at the project site, is ± 50' wide with water depths ranging from ± -l' mean low water (MLW) to ± -6' MLW at the mouth of Wolf Pit Creek. The creek bottom consists primarily of mud and silty material. The applicant has constructed a small dock which extends into the Creek for ± 15'. The waters of the Creek have been classified as SA and are open to the harvesting of shellfish. The applicant proposes to excavate in the Creek a ± 170' long x 18' wide access channel to a depth of -3' MLW deep. At the landward end of the access channel a ± 35' long x 18 to 25' wide to -3' MLW deep boat basin is also proposed at the location of the existing dock. All excavation is proposed to be accomplished by the use of a clam shell bucket mounted of a small barge. The material excavated would primarily be mud and silt which would be placed on a barge and then off-loaded to a truck which would dispose of the material in the applicants yard. 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The project as proposed will result in the excavation of ± 4,0002of shallow water bottom area with the removal of ± 200 cu. yds. of silt and mud material. All excavation is proposed to be accomplished with the use of a clam shell bucket mounted on a barge with the spoil material being unloaded in the applicant's yard. Wolf Pit Creek is not designated by the Division of Marine Fisheries as a Primarily Nursery Area but certainly possess some of their functions. Turbidity levels will be increased by the dredging operation but the negative impact from this could be minimized if dredging was timed to periods of least biological activities. The applicant has indicated that portions of the Creek (including the project area) were previously excavated and there is some evidence of this having occurred. PREPARED BY: Charles O.
