Revenge.

NC Underwater Archeology Unit - Mark Wilde-Ramsing

---------------------------
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
This project was originally handled as a Major Modification to State Permit#127-97,and was issued
on 4/20/05. The permit expired without receiving adequate funding. The request at hand is the same
as was reviewed at that time.
The project site is located in the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 1.5 miles south of the Fort Macon State
Park, and t.Smiles west of the federally maintained channel in Beaufort Inlet,Carteret County. This is the
site of a shipwreck presumed to be that of the Queen Anne's Revenge(QAR), the vessel thought to be the
pirate ship of the privateer known as Blackbeard. The NC Department of Cultural Resources has
designated an area 600 yards in diameter around the wreck as "protected area".
The Atlantic Ocean carries a water quality designation of SB; the Carteret County Land Use Plan classifies
all areas designated as Areas of Environmental Concern as Conservation; the Division of Marine Fisheries
does not designate the Atlantic Ocean as a Primary Nursery Area; and the waters of the Atlantic Ocean
are open to the taking of shellfish for consumption. The ocean bottom composition at the wreck location is
coarse-grained sand, subject to high energy due to the proximity to the inlet.
The Underwater Archeology Unit of the NC Department of Cultural Resources is proposing to perform a
full excavation and recovery of the remaining artifacts from the QAR over a five-year period. The original
permit authorized the excavation of discovery trenches around the site in search of artifacts that would
indicate the significance of the wreck. The 2000 Major Modification authorized the expansion of this
project to include full artifact recovery. The shipwreck site is recognized by the number 0003BUI.
The dimensions of the hull in the area proposed for excavation are approximately 150' x 90'. The vessel
lies covered with a thin layer of sand in approximately 20' -25' of water. Recent hurricane events have
uncovered significant portions of the wreck, and exposed them to the elements, necessitating removal to
avoid the loss of the resource. The specific proposal involves the excavation of the entire 150' x 90' area,
in 10' x 10' x 3'units,to an average depth of-3' from substrate level. Approximately 1500 cubic yards of
sand will be removed by means of a hydraulic induction dredge, with a 3" or 6" hose. This system will
carry the effluent to a containment area alongside the wreck for filtering. The sand will be filtered through
screens, artifacts removed, and spoil re-deposited back into the trenches from which it came. The process
is expected to take 5 years to complete, with a maximum of 4 active spring and fall months during any
given year.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The project as proposed will employ an unorthodox method of spoil placement. However, this is a very
high-energy area, conducive to natural sediment disturbance and large grained sand composition.
Additionally, the 1500 cubic yards of spoil material will be generated in small quantities over a five-year
period. Given that, there should be no visible turbidity increases, or permanent change to the bottom
elevation.

CAMA APPLICATION: DESCRIPTION OF EXCAVATION FOR THE QUEEN
ANNE'S REVENGE SHIPWRECK RECOVERY PROJECT, BEAUFORT INLET,
CARTERET COUNTY
Mark Wilde-Ramsing
NC Underwater Archaeology Branch
February 4, 2005
Bottom disturbing activities proposed for the Queen Anne's Revenge Recovery Project
will involve the'archaeological excavation of 10 X 10 X 3 foot units in and around the
shipwreck site. During excavation all sediment and artifacts will be removed down to a
culturally sterile layer, which varies from 6 inches to 4 feet and averages 3 feet. SCUBA
divers using hydraulic induction dredge systems will form the excavations. During this
process sediments will be carefully removed and carried through 3-inch or 6-inch hoses
to a containment area, either on the surface or on the bottom outside the shipwreck,
where the outfall will be strained and sluiced to capture artifacts. When possible the
filtered spoils will be used to backfill the excavated portions within the shipwreck site.
Overall, 2,200 cubic yards of sand and cultural materials will be removed from the
seabed during the recovery project. Archaeological excavations at the site will be
conducted over the course of 5 years with a maximum of 4 months annually during a
period prior to June 1'or after September 1'. It is estimated that excavations will proceed
at a maximum rate of two 10 X 10 foot units per week during fieldwork. Excavations will
be confined to daylight hours and will be intermittent throughout the day, allowing breaks
for archaeologists to check progress, examine structural features and document artifacts
in situ. After excavation and artifact removal, spoils materials will be returned bringing
each unit back to seabed grade.

Subject: Action ID#200500500,North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources(Underwater
Archeology Unit),Dredging at offshore archeological site, Carteret County,NC
Dear Mr. Wicker:
This letter provides the comments of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service(Service)on the subject Public
Notice(PN),dated March 15,2005. The applicant,the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources,
has applied for a Department of the Army(DA)permit to perform hydraulic induction dredging in an area
of approximately.13,500 square feet(0.31 of an acre)of sandy ocean bottoms as part of the excavation
and recovery of artifacts from a shipwreck thought to the Queen Anne's Revenge. The proposed work is
being considered under Regional General Permit#198000291, a permit/processing agreement for work
that has been approved pursuant to the North Carolina Coastal Area Management Act(CAMA). These
comments are submitted in accordance with the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act(FWCA)(48 Stat.
401,as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d). Comments related to the FWCA are to be used in your
determination of compliance with 404(b)(1)guidelines(40 CFR 230)and in your public interest review
(33 CFR 320.4)in relation to the protection of fish and wildlife resources. Additional comments are
provided regarding the District Engineer's determination of project impacts pursuant to section 7 of the
Endangered Species Act(ESA)of 1973, as amended(16 U.S.C. 1531-1543).
Project Area and Proposed Action
The PN contains the Field Investigation Report(FIR),dated February 22,2005, of the North Carolina
Division of Coastal Management(NCDCM). The FIR states that the project site is in the Atlantic Ocean
approximately 1.5 miles south of Fort Macon State Park. The site is in water approximately 20-25 feet
deep. The bottom consists of coarse-grained sand and is subject high energy.
The applicant proposes to remove approximately 1,500 cubic yards of bottom sediment by a hydraulic
induction dredge. The sediment would be moved to a containment area alongside the wreck for filtering
in order to search for artifacts. After filtering the material would be re-deposited back into the trenches
from which it came. The action is expected to extend over five years.
Anticipated Impacts
The FIR states that the proposed action should produce no visible increase in turbidity or change to
bottom elevations. Such minimal impacts would be due to the large sand grains composing the bottom
sediment,the return of the material to its approximate original location, and the periodic dredging of
small quantities over a five year period.

2
Federally Protected Species
The Service has reviewed available information on federally-threatened or endangered species known to
occur in Carteret County. We have also reviewed information from the North Carolina Natural Heritage
Program(NCNHP)database which contains excellent data on the special status species,both federal and
state. This database can be accessed by topographic quadrangle(quad)of the U. S. Geological Survey
(USGS). Data from USGS quads provide the most project-specific information on species which should
be considered in permitting this project. The project area is in the Beaufort quad. The occurrence data of
special status species within this quad can be obtained on the internet under the database search section of
<hgp://www.ncnhp.org/Pages/heritagedata.html>.
Our review indicates that no federally listed species under Service jurisdiction are likely to occur in the
project area. Therefore,the Service would concur with a determination by the District Engineer that the
action is not likely to adversely affect species designated as threatened,endangered,or their designated
critical habitat. However,the requirement of section 7 would need to be reconsidered if: (1)new
information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a
manner not previously considered; (2)this action is subsequently modified in a manner that was not
considered in this review; or, (3)a new species is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected
by the identified action.
Service Position
Considering the offshore location of the project site,the limited nature of the proposed dredging, and the
overall maintenance of existing bottom contours,the Service believe the proposed work will not have any
significant adverse and/or irreversible effects on general fish and wildlife resources under our jurisdiction.
Therefore,from the perspective of the FWCA and the 404(b)(1)guidelines,the Service has no objection
to the issuance of the DA permit. We appreciate the opportunity to review the permit application. If you
have questions regarding these comments or wish to discuss the development of the coordinated federal
position,please contact Howard Hall at 919-856-4520,ext. 27 or by e-mail at<[e-mail]>.

Subject: EXEMPTION
Stormwater Project No. SW8 050240
Queen Anne's Revenge Shipwreck Recovery Project
Carteret County
Dear Mr. Wilde-Ramsing:
The Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality received a copy of the CAMA
Major Permit Application for offshore recovery project on February 28, 2005. Staff review of the
plans and specifications has determined that the development activities proposed at this time
will not pose a threat to surface water quality from stormwater runoff. The Director has
determined that projects that are reviewed and approved by the Division as not posing a water
quality threat from stormwater runoff should not be subject to the stormwater management
permitting requirements of 15A NCAC 2H.1000. By copy of this letter, we are informing you
that your project will not require a stormwater management permit.
If the subject project disturbs one acre or more and has a point source discharge of stormwater
runoff, then it is also subject to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
stormwater discharge requirements. You are required to have an NPDES permit for
stormwater discharge from projects meeting these criteria. The stormwater rules require the
Division to permit the common plan of development, therefore, any future development on the
property, regardless of whether a 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.
If you have any questions or need additional information concerning this matter please contact
Ms. Linda Lewis at [phone].

MEMORANDUM
To: Doug Huggett, Major Permits Processing Coordinator
From: Maureen Meehan Will, DCM Morehead City District Planne
Date: March 22, 2005
Subject: Major Permit Application, Requested by the State of North Carolina Underwater
Archeology Unit to perform a full excavation and recovery of the artifacts from the
shipwreck thought to be the Queen Anne's Revenge, located in the Atlantic Ocean
approximately 1.5 miles south of Ft. Macon State Park, and approximately 0.5 miles
west of the Beaufort Inlet, Carteret County, North Carolina.
LILT Consistency Determination: The proposal is Consistent With & Not in Conflict with the
1996 Carteret County Land Use Plan certified by the CRC on
November 19, 1999, provided that all applicable local, state,
and federal development guidelines are met.
Overview:
Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC) impacted by the proposal include Ocean Hazard Area
(OH). The Waters at the project site are classified as SB and are open to the harvesting of shellfish.
The area is not a Primary Nursery Area.
The Carteret County Land Classification Map designates the subject property AEC as
"Conservation". Development within the designated AEC is limited by CAMA regulations and
development guidelines.
Carteret County includes a policy statement for protection of historic and cultural resources. This is
implemented through coordination with the NC Office of Archives and History to ensure
identification and preservation of significant archeological sites. The permit applicant is the NC
Department of Cultural Resources, which houses the Office of Archives.
This project was originally approved in 2000, but was unable to be completed due to the lack
of funding. There have been no significant changes to the project, therefore the consistency
determination remains the same, `consistent and not in conflict' with the local land use plan.

SUBJECT: Comments and Recommendation - CAMA Major Permit Application-
NC Dept pf Cultural Resources - Underwater Archeology Unit
DATE: .February 23, 2005
The proposal is for full recovery of the shipwreck believed to be the Queen's Anne Revenge.
The following are my comments and recommendations regarding this proposal:
This project will employee unusual excavation and spoil disposal methods due to the rare and
fragile nature of the project. However, given the energy of the system in which the project lays,
the limited amount of disturbance proposed, and the heavy, coarse bottom composition in the
area, there should be no significant impacts to the system. Additionally, the "phasing" approach
to the project will limit impacts. I recommend the project be authorized as proposed contingent
on the following conditions:
1) Excavation will not exceed 4' maximum or-3' average below pre-project substrate level.
2) All proposed development must be done in accordance with the permitted workplat drawings
dated 2/04/05.
3) Any change or changes in the plans for the development will require a re-evaluation and
modification of this permit.

Morehead City, North Carolina 28557
Dear Mr. Wilde-Ramsing:
The Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your application for State
approval for development of state property located approximately 1 1/2 miles south of the Fort Macon
State Park in Carteret County. It was received on February 07, 2005, and appears to be adequate for
processing at this time. The projected deadline for making a decision is April 23, 2005. An additional
75-day review period is provided by law when such time is necessary to complete the review. If you
have not been notified of a final action by the initial deadline stated above, you should consider the
review period extended. Under those circumstances, this letter will serve as your notice of an extended
review. However, an additional letter will be provided on or about the 75th day.
If this agency does not render a permit decision within 70 days from February 07, 2005
you may request a meeting with the Director of the Division of Coastal Management and
permit staff to discuss the status of your project. Such a meeting will be held within five
working days from the receipt of your written request and shall include the property owner,
developer, and project designer/consultant.
NCGS 113A-119(b) requires that Notice of an application be posted at the location of the
proposed development. Enclosed you will find a "Notice of Permit Filing" postcard which must be
posted at the property of your proposed development. You should post this notice at a conspicuous
point along your property where it can be observed from a public road. Some examples would be:
Nailing the notice card to a telephone pole or tree along the road right-of-way fronting your property;
or at a point along the road right-of-way where a private road would lead one into your property.
Failure to post this notice could result in an incomplete application.
An onsite inspection will be made, and if additional information is required, you will be
contacted by the appropriate State or Federal agency. Please contact me if you have any questions and
notify me in writing if you wish to receive a copy of my field report and/or comments from reviewing
agencies.
Sincerely,
T. Barrett

MEMORANDUM:
TO: Doug Huggett
FROM: T. Barrett
SUBJECT: Comments and Recommendation-CAMA Major Permit Application-
NC Dept pf Cultural Resources - Underwater Archeology Unit
DATE: March 15, 2005
The proposal is for full recovery of the shipwreck believed to be the Queen's Anne
Revenge. The following are my comments and recommendations regarding this
proposal:
This project will employee unusual excavation and spoil disposal methods due to the
rare and fragile nature of the project. However, given the energy of the system in
which the project lays, the limited amount of disturbance proposed, and the heavy,
coarse bottom composition in the area, there should be no significant impacts to the
system. Additionally, the "phasing" approach to the project will limit impacts. I
recommend the project be authorized as proposed contingent on the following
conditions:
1) Excavation will not exceed -4' maximum or -3' average below pre-project
substrate level.
2) All proposed development must be done in accordance with the permitted workplat
drawings dated 2/04/05.
3) Any change or changes in the plans for the development will require a re-
evaluation and modification of this permit.
