Dear Sir:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to renovate the Swan Quarter
ferry terminal near Swan Quarter in Hyde County,North Carolina. The project will
involve installation of a new ferry loading ramp, replacing the existing ferry loading
ramp, adding dolphins and replacing existing dolphins, and adding pedestrian
boardwalks. All proposed improvements are depicted in the attached drawings.
A field review of the proposed project was held on June 7, 2000. Representatives from
the NCDOT and the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (DCM) were
present. It was determined that this project may be authorized by a CAMA Major
Development Permit. A description of the proposed work is as follows:
1) A new loading ramp will be constructed south of the existing loading ramp.
This ramp will consist of a concrete bridge, 140 feet long and 21 feet wide
with bents approximately every 40 feet, which will tie into the existing fill
elevation and span the coastal marshes. The ramp will be constructed of
concrete cored slab and will serve to facilitate the evacuation of Ocracoke
Island in the event of a hurricane. Access roads will be built to connect
the proposed new loading ramp to the existing roadways which service the
ferry terminal. Construction of the access roads will require excavation of
300 cubic yards, fill of 1200 cubic yards, and will result in an additional
0.62 acres of impervious surface.

r `
2) The existing loading ramp will be removed and replaced in place with a new
structure identical to the one described above. The existing ramp will be
utilized to access the ferry until the new ramp is completed. Then the
existing ramp will be closed and replaced.
3) Twelve existing creosote timber dolphins will be removed and replaced in
kind.
4) Twenty-four new creosote timber dolphins will be installed to service the new
loading ramp and to provide additional moorings to the south of the
proposed new ramp. These dolphins will be used to moor ferries in the
event of a hurricane.
5) Three pedestrian boardwalks will be built - one to service the new mooring
locations south of the proposed new loading ramp, and two at the north
end of the ferry basin.
6) The existing bridge maintenance ramp at the north end of the ferry basin will
be removed.
Swan Quarter Bay and the Swan Quarter Ferry Basin are designated Outstanding
Resource Waters and Primary Nursery Areas. As a result,NCDOT's Design Standards
in Sensitive Watersheds will be implemented. Also,NCDOT will implement the
Construction Precautions for West Indian Manatee (1996)to avoid possible impacts to
this species, although the probability of manatee occurrence within the ferry basin is
minimal. Review of existing records and site surveys revealed that no other federally
protected species occur within the project area.
The NCDOT hereby requests issuance of a CAMA Major Development Permit for this
project. Enclosed please find a project site map, a CAMA Major Development Permit
application, permit drawings, and a voucher letter from the Division of Coastal
Management in the amount of$400.00 for the CAMA processing fee. Also enclosed are
a copy of the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act Minimum Criteria Checklist and
copies of the adjacent landowner notification letters.
It is anticipated that construction of this project will be authorized under a Department of
the Army General Permit No.291. By copy of this letter,the NCDOT requests a
Department of the Army General Permit No. 291 and the applicable 401 Water Quality
Certification from the North Carolina Division of Water Quality. If you have any
questions or need any additional information,please contact Mr. Jim Hauser at(919)

NCDOT Swan Quarter Ferry
Hyde County
Project Setting
The applicant owns a 104.7acre tract adjacent to Swan Quarter Bay on NC 45 near Swan
Quarter in Hyde County,North Carolina. The property consists of an upland area with the existing
ferry facility,a large manmade basin with four existing mooring areas,a vehicular loading ramp,and
associated access roads.There are four covered picnic tables on concrete slabs adjacent to the access
road in the highground area,and public rest room facilities attached to the Feny Division office. A
pumphouse and used oil storage area are located near the existing loading ramp.
The project area is bordered on the north, east and west sides by coastal wetlands that
transition into other 404 wetlands.The wetlands are vegetated with Juncus roemerianus,Distichlis
spicata, Spartina patens, Scirpus sp.,marsh elder,groundsel,sea ox-eye daisy,and Phragmites.The
NC Division of Marine Fisheries maintains a loading area for oyster shell on the eastern edge of the
existing basin.
The south side of property is predominately high ground and is vegetated with various upland
grasses. There is a coastal wetland on the edge of the basin that ranges from 7 to 33 ft in width.This
wetland is composed of Distichlis spicata, Spartina patens, Scirpus sp.,and is mixed with sporadic
Phragmites.The wetland is widest toward the southwest corner of the project area,and narrows close
to the existing vehicular loading ramp. There is a short wooden bulkhead around an abandoned
floatplane slip to the southwest of the existing ferry ramp.Immediately around the slip and bulkhead
there is a 43 by 36 ft area vegetated with a healthy stand of Distichlis spicata, Spartina patens,and
Scirpus sp.. The coastal wetland transitions quickly to a shrubby 404 wetland dominated by wax
myrtle,marsh elder,and groundsel with scattered red cedar and pine trees. Catbrier,blackberry and
poison ivy make up a thick understory in this transition area.
The existing basin contains 30 mooring dolphins that are arranged to create four slips for the
ferries. Two slips are located on the southern edge of the basin, and two are located on the eastern
edge. One of the slips on the south side of the basin is accessible for the loading and unloading of
vehicles, and the others are used to secure the ferries during hurricanes. There is a canal in the
western corner of the basin that connects to Swan Quarter Bay. Ferries run from the Swan Quarter
facility to Ocracoke Island year round. Water depth in the basin ranges from 6 ft in the southwest
corner to 26 ft in the center of the basin. The access channel and water around the loading ramp is
between 13 and 18 ft deep.
Swan Quarter Ferry Basin is classified SA ORW by the Environmental Management
Commission and is not open to shell fishing at this location.
Project Description
The applicant proposes to install a new ferry loading ramp,replace and enlarge the existing
ferry loading ramp,add new dolphin clusters,replace existing mooring dolphins,and construct two

NCDOT Swan Quarter Ferry
Hyde County
Page 2
pedestrian boardwalks to access hurricane mooring slips.Three slips will be added by the proposed
project, creating a total of seven mooring slips at the facility.
A new 140 ft by 21 ft concrete loading ramp is proposed south of the existing ramp. The
ramp will span the coastal wetland and transitional wetland areas.The new ramp will be accessed via
a proposed 28 ft wide road that connects to the roadway that currently services the ferry facility.The
existing loading ramp will be used during construction of the new ramp.Upon completion,the new
ramp will be used to provide access to the ferry while the existing ramp is removed and replaced
with a larger structure.The existing ramp is a 104 ft by 12 ft pile supported timber structure that will
be replaced with a 140 ft by 21 ft concrete pile supported ramp.
Twelve of the existing creosote timber dolphin clusters will be removed and replaced.
Twenty-four additional dolphin clusters are proposed to create hurricane slips. Of the new dolphin
clusters,twelve of the dolphin clusters will be six ft in diameter,five will be eight ft in diameter,and
five clusters will be 10 ft in diameter.Two clusters will be used to create bumpers at the waterward
end of the new vehicle loading ramp.
Two wooden boardwalks,4 ft by 60 ft and 4 ft by 115 ft,are proposed to provide pedestrian
access to the existing hurricane slips on the northeast side of the basin.These boardwalks will cross
coastal wetlands.A Y-shaped wooden boardwalk 4 ft by 240 ft is proposed to provide access to the
new hurricane mooring slips to the south of the new loading ramp.
An existing 45 ft by 15 ft loading ramp on the northeast edge of the basin, adjacent to the
Division of Marine Fisheries shell loading area will be removed.
Anticipated Impacts
The project as proposed would impact 33,560 ft2.Approximately 3,170 ft2f coastal wetlands
will be shaded by the proposed pedestrian boardwalks and new loading ramp.The loading ramp will
shade approximately 2,262 ft2 of basin bottom, 260 ft2 of basin bottom will be filled during
installation of the new mooring pilings, and 27,868 ft2 of highground will be filled and paved to
create access roads.Localized short term turbidity increases will result from construction activities.

I have reviewed the application for a CAMA Major Permit submitted to this office on behalf of
NCDOT in regards to the rules and regulations adopted by the CRC, specifically NCAC
7H.0205, .0206, .0207, and .0208. My review indicates that the proposal will be consistent with
these regulations if the following recommendations and conditions are included in a conditional
issued permit:
Conditions:
1. 4:1) e boardwalks, loading ramps, and associated structures shall be elevated a minimum
f 36"above any coastal wetland substrate as measured from the bottom of the decking.
2)N ttempt will be made by the permittee to prevent the full and free use by the public
all navigable waters at or adjacent to the proposed work. The authorized structure and
associated activity must not cause an unacceptable interference with navigation.
3) The permittee must install and maintain at his expense any signal lights or signals
pres ' ed by the U.S. Coast Guard,through regulation or otherwise, on the authorized
cilities. At a minimum,permanent reflectors should be attached to the structure in order
to make it more visible during hours of darkness and inclement weather.
4) This ermit authorizes only the boardwalks, loading ramps and mooring pilings and
use ocated in or over the water that are expressly and specifically set forth in the permit
a lication. No other structures,whether floating or stationary, may become a permanent
part of this facility without permit modification.No non-water dependent uses of
structures may be conducted on, in, over, or under public trust waters without permit
modification.
5)N sewage, whether treated or untreated, shall be discharged at any time from boats
u ' g this docking facility.Any sewage discharge at hits docking facility shall be
onsidered a violation of this permit for which the permittee is responsible. This
prohibition shall be applied and enforced throughout the entire existence of the permitted
structure.
6) s permit does not authorize the interference with any existing or proposed Federal
roject, and the permittee will not be entitled to compensation for damage to the

authorized structure or work or injury which may be caused from existing or future
operations undertaken by the United States in the public interest.

MEMORANDUM:
TO: Doug Huggett
FROM: Sean McKenna
DATE: January 4, 2001 $f?f C
SUBJECT: NCDOT, Swan Quarter Ferry, Hyde County
The following comments by the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF)
on the subject permit are offered pursuant to G.S. 113-131. The NCDMF has a couple of
concerns with the proposed project.
The first concern deals with the use of creosote treated pilings for mooring dolphins.
Traditionally mooring pilings are treated with coal-tar creosote for protection against decay and
rot. About 300 chemicals have been identified in coal-tar creosote. Some components of
creosote (phenols and nitrogenous bases such as aniline, toluidine, and xylidines) are water
soluble and migrate easily from contaminated ties. Hepatic lesions and neoplasms have been
observed in fish exposed to creosote contaminated water. Although data is unavailable for
oysters, they are especially susceptible to bioaccumulation of pollutants due to their sedentary
life. This accumulation of toxins could cause a human health risk and/or directly affect the
health and reproductive success of oysters. In 1985 due to oncogenicity and mutagenicity
concerns the EPA limited the use of coal-tar creosote to wood-treatment and as a pesticide for
gypsy moth egg masses. In 1988 the EPA listed coal-tar creosote as a human carcinogenicity.
Additionally, in 1992 the government of Newfoundland and Labrador banned the use of new or
old creosote treated wood in fresh water and severely restricted it's use in the marine 0
environment in order to protect the water from a source of potential pollution. In order to protect
this and adjacent Outstanding Resource Waters and Primary Nursery Area's the NCDMF would
like to see an alternate (concrete, salt treated, etc.)type of pilings used.

The next concern deals with containing and stabilizing excavated material. Division of
Land Quality Bes anagement Practices for erosion and sedimentation control need to be used
to ntrol erosioiother area of concern is the disposition of concrete from the old loading
r p (no mention of. ,.osition of ramp material in application). This material should be
removed from the sit- e last area of concern deals with the timing of construction. Since
these is a Primary , sery Area located in Outstanding Resource Waters all efforts should be
made to limit water related construction during April 1 through October 1. If these concerns are
incorporated into the permit then the NCDMF would not object to the proposed project.

Essential Fish Habitat assessment for DOT TIP project F-3305
The 1996 Congressional amendments to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation
and Management Act(MSFCMA) (PL 94-265) set forth new requirements for the
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), regional fishery management councils
(FMC), and other Federal agencies to identify and protect important marine and
anadromous fish habitat. These amendments established procedures for the identification
of Essential Fish Habitat(EFH) and a requirement for interagency coordination to further
the conservation of Federally managed fisheries. Table 1 lists the fish species that,may
occur in the study area that are managed under MSFCMA (species listed by NMFS for
Pamlico Sound), including the life stages which are known to occur.
Table 1. Fish species listed by NMFS to occur in the Pamlico Sound.

Construction of the proposed improvements to the Swan Quarter Ferry Terminal (F-
3305)will result in impacts to surface waters within the ferry basin as a result of the
installation of a new loading ramp and 24 additional mooring clusters. These waters are
connected to Pamlico Sound via Swan Quarter Bay. Piles will be placed in the ferry
basin to support the ramp deck. Dolphin clusters will be placed throughout the basin for
emergency ferry mooring. In addition, 12 existing dolphins will be replaced, the existing
ferry loading ramp will be replaced, and three pedestrian boardwalks will be constructed
on piers across tidal marshes. Table 2 identifies the potential impacts resulting from the
construction of the proposed improvements to the Swan Quarter Ferry Terminal.
Replacement of the 12 existing dolphins or the existing loading ramp are not included in

.-
Table 2, because post project conditions will be nearly identical to current conditions.
The three proposed pedestrian boardwalks are also not included because of the very small
cross-sectional area of the supporting piers.
Table 2. Projected impacts to surface waters of Pamlico Sound resulting from
construction of F-3305.
Permanent Impacts
Number of Loading Ramp Piles 12
Number of Dolphins 24
Total Surface Area of Substrate Impacted 0.08 acres
As indicated in Table 2, construction of the proposed improvements to the Swan Quarter
Ferry Terminal will permanently impact a very small area of the estuarine substrate of the
Swan Quarter ferry basin connected to Pamlico Sound(0.08 acres). Some hard structure
will be added to the water column in the form of loading ramp piles and dolphin clusters.
However, the net effect of the proposed construction will be insignificant in terms of
available Essential Fish Habitat in Pamlico Sound. Minor losses of estuarine substrate
will be limited to the Swan Quarter ferry basin. No impacts will occur to Essential Fish
Habitat within the natural (unexcavated) extent of Pamlico Sound or Swan Quarter Bay.

Dear Sir:
This letter is with reference to your application for a Coastal Area Management Act Major
Development and state dredge and fill permit to carry out construction on property located off NC45 on a
manmade canal contiguous with Swan Quarter Bay in Swan Quarter,Hyde County. Although processing of
the application is nearing completion, additional time is needed for this office to complete the review and
make a decision on your request. Therefore, it is necessary that the standard review time be extended. An
additional 75 days is provided by G.S. 113A-122(c)which would make April 18,2001 the new deadline for
reaching a decision on your request. However, we expect to take action prior to that time and will do so as
soon as possible. In the interim, if you have any question on the status of your application, do not hesitate to
contact this office.
Very sincerely,
