Subject:Submittal of a Major CAMA/Dredge and Fill permit application package for
maintenance excavation of a man made drainage canal Tyrrell County.
Dear Mr.Daisey,
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is requesting a Major
CAMA/Dredge and Fill permit for maintenance excavation of a man made drainage canal at it's
confluence with the Albemarle Sound located at the terminus of SR 1225 Pledger Harbor Road
east of Columbia in the Community of Goat Neck, Tyrrell County, North Carolina. This
proposed maintenance activity has been identified as a potential for drainage improvement in the
Goat Neck community. The canal opening and adjacent Albemarle Sound shoreline is exposed to
northly winds that result in seasonal shoaling of the canal opening by wave action. This
maintenance activity has been authorized once in 2017 by CAMA/Dredge and Fill General permit
no. 68746-B issued on 6 December 2017. Rather than continuing to authorize future
maintenance of this project with general permits,the NCDOT is seeking authorization to maintain
this area of the Palmetto Peartree Drainage Canal through the Major CAMA/Dredge and Fill
process.
The maintenance activities would be conducted using a tracked excavator and dump truck
working from uplands at the sound shoreline and along the road shoulder of SR 1225. The area
that typically requires maintenance is f75' long x 20' wide to an average depth of minus 1.8'
below the normal water level (NWL). Maintaining the canal opening to the aforementioned
dimensions typically results in±58 cubic yards of material. Spoil material will be placed directly
into a closed body dump truck and hauled offsite to a local upland stockpile site owned by
NCDOT.
Included with this letter are the location map, permit drawings, MP-1 and MP-2 forms
and the signed adjacent landowner notification statement. If you have questions, please contact
Steve Trowell at [e-mail] or(252)482-1876. The permit fee can be charged to WBS
# 1.208911.
Sincerely,
Jerry Jennings,P.E.

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
NCDOT-TYRRELL COUNTY
PLEDGER HARBOR RD. (SR 1225)
DRAINAGE CANAL MAINTENANCE DREDGING PROJECT
PROJECT SUMMARY:
The applicant proposes maintenance dredging of a manmade drainage canal and
maintenance/repair of existing rip rap revetments at the connection with the Albemarle
Sound at the terminus of SR 1225 (Pledger Harbor Rd.) in the community Goat Neck,
Tyrrell County.
8. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
Project Setting
The proposed project site is located at the connection of an unnamed manmade drainage canal
and the Albemarle Sound at the northern terminus of Pledger Harbor Rd (SR 1225) in the
community of Goat Neck in Tyrrell County. The site is approximately 11 miles to the northeast of
Columbia. Pledger Harbor Rd. is located within Palmetto-Peartree Preserve, which was created in
1999 as a mitigation bank for the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker. The 10,297 acre preserve
site is currently owned by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission and is classified as a
Significant Natural Heritage Area. The project area is an estuarine forest dominated by Nyssa
sylvatica(Black Gum),Acer rubrum(Red Maple)and other vegetation typically found in an eastern
North Carolina pine/hardwood forest.Phragmites australis(Common Reed)and various grasses are
found along the drainage canal and roadway.There are no Coastal Wetlands present. Undeveloped
forest/swamp lands dominate the surrounding area,with residences located approximately 1.15 miles
to the south of the proposed project at the intersection of Pledger Harbor Rd. (SR 1225)and Goat
Neck Rd. (SR 1223).
Pledger Harbor Rd. is a state-maintained road with a travel lane of approximately 12' with
grass shoulders in the project area. Roadside canals are located on the west side the entire length of
the roadway. A floodgate within the canal system to limit wind driven sound water into the upper
reaches of the canal is located approximately 0.50 miles to the south of the proposed project area.
Approximate elevation of the project area is 0—2' above NWL.
There are no stormwater runoff controls on the roadway in the project area. Stormwater sheet
flows directly into the adjacent roadside canal and estuarine swamp forest from the road. There are
no existing utility lines within the Right-of-Way of the road.
The Environmental Management Commission has classified the Albemarle Sound as Class SB
in the proposed project area. The waters are closed to shell fishing by the Shellfish Sanitation
Section of the Division of Marine Fisheries. The unnamed canal is approximately 20' wide and
approximately 0.8' to 1.5' deep in the project area within the canal. The water depths are
approximately 1.8' deep 20' offshore within the Albemarle Sound. The Federal Emergency
Management Agency has designated the project area as a Zone AE flood hazard area. There were no
SAV's observed in the project area during the site visit.
The applicant states the canal opening and adjacent Albemarle Sound shoreline are exposed to
northerly winds that result in seasonal shoaling of the canal opening by wave action. DCM issued
General Permit No. 68746 on December 6, 2017 for the maintenance excavation of approximately
1,500 sq. ft. of accumulated sediment at the project site.

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
NCDOT-TYRRELL COUNTY
PLEDGER HARBOR RD.(SR 1225)
DRAINAGE CANAL MAINTENANCE DREDGING PROJECT
Project Proposal
NCDOT states the purpose of this project is to excavate sand accumulation at the confluence
of the drainage canal and the Albemarle sound to improve gravity flow/drainage from the
community of Goat Neck.The applicant states NCDOT is seeking to authorize maintenance/future
maintenance through a CAMA Major Permit rather than continuing to obtain CAMA General
Permits for each excavation.
NCDOT states the proposed area to be maintained is approximately 75' long by the existing
canal width(approximately 20' wide)to an average depth of 1.8'below normal water level(NWL).
According to the applicant,typical canal maintenance to these dimensions will result in the removal
of approximately 58 cubic yards of sandy material. Existing rip rap revetments on the northwest and
southeast sides of the canal will be repaired/maintained within the current alignment/footprint with
Class II and Class B stone to a height of approximately 3' (1' above NWL).
The applicant states the proposed activities and future maintenance activities would be
conducted using a tracked excavator (with 30' reach) and closed body dump truck working from
uplands at the sound/canal shoreline. Spoil Material would be placed directly into the truck and
hauled offsite to a local upland stockpile site owned by NCDOT.
Anticipated Impacts
As proposed,the maintenance activities associated with the unnamed canal at the terminus of
Pledger Harbor Rd.(SR 1225)would result in 1,332 sq. ft.of drainage canal and open water/shallow
bottom (Albemarle Sound) impacts due to excavation. The project is not expected to impact
navigability or public trust access. A localized increase in turbidity can be expected during any in-
water construction activities related to the proposed project. There are no additional impacts
anticipated due to the maintenance/repair of existing rip rap revetments due to all associated
activities remaining in the same footprint and dimensions.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Cathy Brittingham, NCDOT Projects Coordinator
Division of Coast Management
FROM: Charlan Owen , ICP, NE District Planner
Division of Coastal Management
SUBJECT: Major Permit Request by the NC Department of Transportation to routinely
maintenance dredge a 20 foot wide by 75 foot long manmade canal to an average
depth of 1.8 feet below Normal Water Level (NWL) and repair and maintain two (2)
6 foot wide by 30 foot long riprap revetments to a height of 3 feet; at the northern
terminus of the Pledger Harbor Road right-of-way where the manmade canal
connects to the Albemarle Sound, in the Goats Neck community of Tyrrell County.
•
DATE: November 26, 2019
Consistency Determination: The request is consistent with/not in conflict with the Tyrrell
County/Town of Columbia Land Use Plan certified by the CRC
on March 25, 2010.
Overview: The project site consists of a 20 foot wide by 75 foot long area within the Pledger
Harbor Road right-of-way at its northern terminus along the Albemarle Sound. The right-of-way
is within the 10,297 acre Palmetto-Peartree Preserve, which is owned by the NC Wildlife
Resources Commission and classified as a Significant Natural Heritage Area. Approximate s'
elevation of the project area is 0 to 2 feet above Normal Water Level (NWL). The project area is
in an AE floodzone.
Existing improvements within the right-of-way include a 20 foot wide roadside canal that is
approximately .8 foot to 1.5 feet deep within the project area, two (2) 6 foot wide by 30 foot long
sections of rip rap revetment on the canal banks, and a 12 foot wide state-maintained travel lane
with grass shoulders. The roadside canal is located on west side of the entire 1.15 miles of
roadway that connects with Goat Neck Road to the south. Stormwater sheet flows directly into
the adjacent roadside canal and estuarine swamp forest from the road. The applicant states that
the canal opening and adjacent shoreline are exposed to northerly winds that result in seasonal
shoaling of the canal opening by wave action. DCM issued General Permit No. 68746 in
December 2017 for maintenance excavation of approximately 1,500 sq. ft. of accumulated
sediment at the project site.

Routine maintenance dredging of the 20 foot wide by 75 foot long canal area to an average depth
of 1.8 feet below NWL and the repair and maintenance of two (2)6 foot wide by 30 foot long riprap
revetments to a height of 3 feet are proposed. The existing riprap revetments will be
repaired/maintained with Class II and Class B stone. Maintenance activities will be conducted
using a tracked excavator and closed body dump truck working from the uplands. Spoil will be
placed directly on the truck and hauled to an offsite stockpile site owned by NCDOT. NCDOT is
seeking to authorize maintenance/future maintenance through a CAMA Major Permit rather than •
continuing to obtain CAMA General Permits for each excavation.
The waters of the Albemarle Sound are classified as SB in this area and are closed to shellfishing.
There were no SAV observed in the project area during the site visit. A review of potential historic
resources or archaeological sites was not provided.
Anticipated Impacts resulting from this project are expected to include: the excavation of 1,332
sq. ft. of Public Trust Area/Estuarine Waters Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC).
The project will improve gravity flow/drainage from the community of Goat Neck.
Basis for Determination:
The Tyrrell County/Town of Columbia Land Future Land Use Plan Map identifies the project site
as "Conservation", which includes land and water areas that are environmentally sensitive,
including areas of environmental concern, as indicated on Page 133.

RE: CAMA: Pledger Harbor Road
Dear Gregg Bodnar:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural
communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project
boundary. These results are presented in the attached 'Documented Occurrences'tables and map.
The attached 'Potential Occurrences'table summarizes rare species and natural communities that
have been documented within a one-mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these
records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area
if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one-mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
If a Federally-listed species is documented within the project area or indicated within a one-mile
radius of the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) for guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
httos://www.fws.aov/offices/Directorv/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation
planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria
for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published
without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information
source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission.
Also please note that the NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional
correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Clean Water
Management Trust Fund easement, or an occurrence of a Federally-listed species is documented
near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at rodney.butlerca ncdcr.aov or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program

There are no documented element occurrences (of medium to very high accuracy) that intersect with the project area. Please note, however, that although the
NCNHP database does not show records for rare species within the project area, it does not necessarily mean that they are not present; it may simply mean that
the area has not been surveyed. The use of Natural Heritage Program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys if needed, particularly if the project
area contains suitable habitat for rare species. If rare species are found, the NCNHP would appreciate receiving this information so that we may update our
database.

Thanks for that information.
Another follow up question regarding the repair/maintenance of the existing the rip rap revetments:
• The two existing revetments are approximately 30'L by 6'W.After review of the permit application, the submitted
drawings show that all maintenance/repair will be within that footprint/alignment, but what will be the approximate
height of the revetments be once the repair/maintenance is completed?

Greg:
The refurbishment of the existing riprap will be completed using Class II and Class B. Same size as what is there now. There
should be very little turbidity during the "in-water excavation". The material deposited by wave action creating the shoal is a
course sand. The material to be excavated is like a "washed sand". If push comes to shove NCDOT could use turbidity curtains if
it alleviates some concern but is unnecessary, in my opinion, due to the small scope of the project and material to be
excavated. If there is any turbidity at all it will be short term and localized.

Good afternoon.
I have a couple of question that related to the Major Permit application:
1. Please state the size of rip rap NCDOT plans on refurbishing the existing revetments with at the site.The plans state that
this will be a component of the project, but there is no mention of it in the narrative or MP forms.
2. Does NCDOT plan to implement the use of turbidity curtains during in-water excavation?
Thanks for your time.
