Field Investigation Report:
NCWRC-Oyster Creek
Page 02
---------------------------
9. Narrative Description:
The project site is located on the southwest side of the Oyster Creek Bridge on Highway 70 in
Carteret County. This is in the Davis Community of the county, and was previously the site
of a commercial fish house. In the past, Highway 70 crossed the property before being
relocated to the north, and some remnant asphalt remains. The property abuts Core Sound
to the south and the mouth of Oyster Creek to the east. The size of the parcel is 1.38 acres in
size, with the addition of the .47 acres included by Encroachment Agreement with DOT. The
existing impervious area on the property is 27, 272 sf, for total percentage coverage within
the AEC of 33.84%.
The property was purchased by the NCWRC in 2002, and has had all remains of the fish
house removed. The WRC obtained General Permit#34082-C in 2003 for the stabilization of
the shoreline through the use of riprap, which it has completed. Besides the remaining
gravel and asphalt, the site is vegetated with typical shrub/scrub habitat. Average elevation
is +7' msl. The width of the water body at the project site is in excess of 4800'.
The Carteret County Land Use Plan classifies this tract as Conservation by virtue of the fact
that it lies entirely within the AEC. The Division of Marine Fisheries does not designate this
area of Core Sound as a Primary Nursery Area; however, immediately north of the bridge,
Oyster Creek is designated. Core Sound and Oyster Creek both carry water quality
classifications of SA-ORW, and are open to the taking of shellfish for consumption. There
are patches of submerged grassbeds at the project site, but not within the location of any
proposed development.
The proposal is to construct a public launching facility. Specifically, two (2) concrete boat
ramps are proposed on the east side of the property. They are proposed for 15' wide x 68' in
length, extending approximately 50' waterward of the nhw contour,to reach a water depth of
-4.7' nlw. A 50' x 20' concrete skirt will be poured along the high ground side of the ramps.
Two (2) fixed docks, 76' x 6' and 151' x 6', will be aligned along the outer edges of the
ramps, with a float, 76' x 8' in the middle. Breakwaters (the applicant refers to them as
"groins") are proposed on the outside edges of the fixed docks, extending 160' from the nhw
contour on the south and 121' on the north. These structures are proposed with 2" gaps for
every 2' interval of boards. All portions of this facility will be located in excess of 20' from
adjacent riparian corridors.
A retaining wall is proposed, 54.5', on the north side of the ramps, landward of all coastal
vegetation and connecting to the existing DOT bridge abutment. Approximately 38' of
riprap is proposed to the south side of the ramps, approximately 20' in width, extending to
no more than 5' from the nhw contour in an area void of wetland vegetation. Along the
south shoreline, the applicant proposes to construct a rock sill with a 6.5' base width, to a
height of 1.5' above substrate. This 258' sill will be located an average of 15' offshore, and
will be comprised of 86 cubic yards of rock. Twelve-inch concrete culverts are proposed
through the sill at 20' intervals of sill length. These features are intended to allow for fish
passage without enhancing the problem of scour. While the plats appear to completely Field

Investigation Report:
NCWRC-Oyster Creek
Page 03
---------------------------
encompass the culverts, the intent is to indent the sill at the culvert locations, such that the
sill will be no more than 4' wide at these features, allowing for the "day lighting" of the
culverts. Filter cloth is proposed beneath the sill. Sand fill will be placed in the 3870 sf area
behind the sill, which is proposed for planting of coastal wetland species. The sand is shown
at 8" in depth at the landward end, gradually reducing to grade at the sill. The plats
erroneously show filter cloth beneath the fill material. Spartina alterniflora is proposed to be
planted up to the 2' contour line, which represents the nhw line, and Spartina patens is
proposed to continue to the shoreline, or the 3.5' contour line.
Within the high ground area of the property, the Commission proposes to construct 13
regular car and trailer parking spaces (130' x 50'), a single handicapped space, and a turning
area (95' x 95'). Concrete walkways are proposed around the handicapped space and
connecting to the ramps for a total square footage of 671 (approximately 72 sf will be timber
decking). The drive through the parking lot and turning area is approximately 260' x 25'.
Any spoil generated by grading for the parking area or construction of the ramp will be
placed on the west side of the property.
10. Anticipated Impacts:
The high ground impacts from this proposal come in the form of the backfilling of the
retaining wall, the spoil disposal grading, the parking lot, drive, turning area, skirt to the
ramps, a portion of the ramps, a portion of the riprap, the handicapped access walks, and
the portion of the planting area above the nhw contour. These disturbances will require that
37,215 sf of high ground be filled/graded, and 72 sf be shaded. There will be shallow bottom
filling impacts from the remainder of the ramp, the sill, the remainder of the riprap, the
remainder of the planting area, and the breakwater, for a total of 8504 sf. Shading impacts
will occur from the floating and fixed docks in the amount of 1032 sf. There is proposed to
be a disturbance of approximately 56 cubic yards of material at the toe of the ramp for
"leveling" this feature. The total high ground impervious area within the AEC will be 23,
716 sf, or 29.4%. This represents an overall reduction of 4.44% over the existing impervious
area.

DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY
STATE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PERMIT
REDEVELOPMENT PERMIT
In accordance with the provisions of Article 21 of Chapter 143, General Statutes of
North Carolina as amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
NC Wildlife Resources Commission
Oyster Creek Boat Access Area
1300 US Highway 70, Davis, Carteret County
FOR THE
redevelopment of existing impervious surfaces and treatment of the runoff in a pervious
concrete pavement system in compliance with the provisions of 15A NCAC 2H.1000
(hereafter referred to as the "stormwater rules') and the approved stormwater
management plans and specifications, and other supporting data as attached and on
file with and approved by the Division of Water Quality and considered a part of this
permit.
The Permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until November 30, 2014 and
shall be subject to the following specific conditions and limitations:
I. DESIGN STANDARDS
1. The proposed built-upon area is 23,875 square feet, which is less than the
27,272 square feet that previously existed. Additionally, the post-construction
peak flow from the 1 year-24 hour storm is less than or equal to the pre-
construction peak flow.
2. To the extent practicable, the project has provided stormwater control measures
in accordance with the stormwater rules. Those control measures are:
a. Installation of 6 500 square feet of 8" deep pervious concrete pavement.

surfaces (except for the immediate boat ramp area).
3. Approved plans and specifications for projects covered by this permit are
incorporated by reference and are enforceable parts of the permit.
4. The stormwater treatment device consists of 6,500 square feet of 8" concrete
porous pavement laid flat. The site is graded such that the proposed built-upon
area will drain across the porous pavement down into the pore spaces, and will
then infiltrate into the ground underneath, eliminating a direct discharge to SA
ORW waters.
II. SCHEDULE OF COMPLIANCE
1. The permittee shall at all times provide adequate erosion control measures in
conformance with the approved ErosionControl Plan.
2. The permittee shall submit all information requested by the Director or his
representative within the time frame specified in the written information request.

Re: Oyster Creek Boating Access Area, Carteret County, NC (Action ID#200400690)
Dear Mr. Wicker:
This letter provides the comments and proposed resolutions of the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission (NCWRC) in response to anticipated adverse environmental impacts of
the Oyster Creek Public Boating Access Area Project as presented in your letter and enclosures
dated July 12, 2004. It is our intention to satisfy the concerns of the United States Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS) and incorporate their recommendations into our project. Dr. Garland Pardue's
comments were insightful, thorough, and provided practical recommendations which will directly
enhance our commitment to environmental stewardship.
NCWRC would like to provide the following comments and proposed resolutions to minimize the
adverse environmental impacts of the proposed Oyster Creek Boating Access Area:
1. North Carolina Division of Coastal Management recommended gaps in
breakwater/groin structures- Our current groin/breakwater design incorporates 2 inch
cuts in the vinyl sheet piling spaced at 2 foot intervals as detailed on the proposed fixed
dock & breakwater profile on sheet 7 of the project plans. The proposed gaps of 2 inches
spaced at 2 foot intervals has proven more practical due vinyl sheet piling dimensions and
construction practices.
2. Drop-Downs incorporated into the 258 foot stone sill- The implementation of concrete
pipes in lieu of drop-downs was to address concerns that the drop-downs would not
adequately decrease the wave energy created by the 4 mile fetch across Core Sound to
prevent scouring. The secondary benefit of the concrete pipes would be to provide
passage for large, mobile organisms during low water conditions which may not be
available with the use of drop-downs sections. We propose to remove the concrete pipe
and incorporate the recommended alternative of overlapping sections into our stone sill
design. The introduction of two separate overlapping structures near the ends of the stone

Office Location: 512 N. Salisbury Street - Raleigh, NC - Telephone: [phone] - Fax : [phone]

2
sill will consist of discrete sections parallel to the shore, but offset with some overlap. The
overlapping sections will be positioned in the best location to protect the shoreline from
prevailing seas and winds. Each section will have a minimum of a 13 foot gap width which
should satisfy the ten percent gap recommendation. We feel confident that this
recommended alternative will prevent scour and provide for the beneficial passage of
large, mobile organisms.
3. Placement of sand fill in the area behind the stone sill- Our stone sill design, which
details the placement of sand fill behind the stone sill, is based on a design provided by the
North Carolina Coastal Federation. It is our understanding that the use of sand fill behind
the stone sill is to provide suitable substrate material for the establishment of planted
marsh grasses, especially in areas where erosion has removed all suitable material. The
Oyster Creek project site has experienced severe shoreline erosion from previous major
storm events which warranted the placement of large rip rap. Our design will replace the
majority of the large rip rap with the stone sill and planted marsh grasses. Until the marsh .
grasses have sufficient time to become established in order to minimize wave energy, the
project will be at risk to erosion during future storm events. We concur that the natural
fringe marsh encroachment process provides the best method for creating and maintaining
a healthy fringe marsh. However, we feel that substrate material augmentation is
warranted to enhance the timely development of planted marsh grasses in order to prevent
erosion during storm events. We proposed to use sand augmentation in areas of the
planted marsh which exhibit poor soil condition in efforts to expedite its development and
stability. On July 23, 2004, we contacted Mr. Howard Hall, USFW Ecological Services, to
present our proposed resolution of sand augmentation. Following their review, USFW
Service responded to state that they did not oppose the addition of a thin layer of substrate
material to facilitate marsh establishment.
4. Reduction of Impervious Surface- NCWRC is currently working with the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality Section to implement an experimental pervious pavement design
in an effort to reduce the impervious surface area to below 25 percent and to minimize
adverse impacts to water quality. We have employed the services of The Rose Group
Consultant Engineering Firm, specifically Dr. Rooney Malcom, PhD., P.E., to assist us in
the design of a 6,000 square feet pervious concrete section that will accept runoff from
nearly all paved surfaces in a storm of 4.5 inches of rainfall in 24 hours, the two year
storm. There will be no surface runoff to the estuary except from the portion of the boat
ramp that slopes to the water. Lateral subsurface movement of runoff will move through
the constructed marsh before entering the estuary. The intent of the design is to provide
the combined treatment of runoff through the pervious concrete and planted marsh which
should simulate a natural filtering process. Because of the innovative nature of the
pervious concrete and constructed marsh, it is proposed to establish a long term
monitoring program to observe the behavior of the system through time and a
maintenance plan to ensure the long term serviceability.
5. Re-vegetation of abandoned alignment of US 70 Highway with Native Vegetation-
NCWRC proposes to implement the recommendation to use native vegetation to re-
establish vegetation following the removal of the asphalt pavement associated with
abandoned section of US 70 Highway. We propose to re-vegetate this area with native
grasses. Native grasses will not only minimize the need for fertilizer, pesticides, and/or

3
herbicides but also minimize maintenance requirements while providing cover and food for
North Carolina's native wildlife. Our plants would include a combination of several native
grasses, such as bluestem, wiregrass, switchgrass, and indiangrass which are suitable for
the coastal plain region conditions. Also, we are considering the use of wildlife plots in
unused portion of the access area to enhance food and cover opportunities for wildlife and
to reduce maintenance requirements.
NCWRC acknowledges that pile-driving operations associated with this project pose a risk to the
Western Indian Manatee, a federally-endangered mammal. We also acknowledge the occurrence
record of manatees in Core Sound near Davis. USWFS-developed guidelines will be used to
ensure that all construction personnel are informed that manatees may occur in the work area, that
work should cease if a manatee approaches the work area,work should not resume until the
manatee leaves the work area, and procedures for reporting the death or injury of a manatee. We
anticipate that the project construction will be performed during the winter 2004-2005 which should
reduce the risk to manatees.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments and resolutions to anticipated adverse
environmental impacts during your review of our proposal. The comments and recommendations
have made significant contributions to minimizing the impacts of this project and support the merit
of the permit application review process.

Boat Access Area, Carteret County,NC
Dear Mr.Wicker;
This letter provides the commepts of the U. S, Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) on the subject
Public Notice (PN), dated June 4, 2004, The applicant,North Carolina Wildlife Resouices
Commission(NCVvRC)., has applied for a Department of the Army (DA)permit to build a
boating access area (BAA) at the confluence of Oyster Creek and Core Sound in Carteret County.
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 eomments'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 detemination 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).
Proposed Action
The PN contains the Field Investigation Report(FIR), dated April 21,2004, of the North Carolina
Division of Coastal Management(NCDCK. The FIR states that the proposed launching facility
wo-pld consist of two concrete boat ramps, both 15 feet by 68 feet, which would extend 50 feet
waterward from the normal high water (NHW) contour into Core Sound. There would be two
fixed docks and orie floating dock, Breakwaters, or groins, would be constructed at the outer
edges of the three docks, A 54.5400t retaining wall would be built on the north Side of the ramps
to connect to the existing abutment of the Highway 70 Bridge over Oyster Creek. Riprap would
be placed along 3 8 feet of shoreline south of the ramps, South of the riprap a low profile rock sill
would be constructed. The sill would be 258 feet long, have a base width of 6.5 feet,be an
average of 15 feet offshore, and have a crest elevation of 1,5 feet above mean low water. The sill
would enclose 3,870-sgt;are feet(R2). Some sand fill would be placed in the enclosed area and
marsh vegetation would be planted. At 20400t interval along the sill,twelve,inch concrete
culverts would be installed to "allow for fish passage without enhanping the problem of scour."

Anticipated Impacts
The FIR States that construction of the boat ramps, breakwaters, sill, and riprap placement would
fill 8,504 fe of shallow estuarine bottoms. The three docks would shade an additional 1,Q32 ft'.
The work,would not impact areas of submerged aquatic vegetation,
The amount of impervious Surface within the Coastal Shoreline Area of Environmental Concern
(AEC)will influence water quality in Oyster Creels and Core Sound. The Service is pleased that
The NCWRC would remove the asphalt pavement of the old US Highway 70 and plant this area
with grass. The proposed work would have 23,716 ftz of impervious surface, or 29.4 percent of
the overall tract of 1.85 acres (1.38 plus 0,47 included by an encroachment agreerncnt with the
North Carolina Department of Tra:nsportation),
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(NCNBP) 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 (USG$). Data from USGS quads provide the most project-specific
information on species which should be considered im permitting this project. The project area is
in the Davis quad, The occurrence data of special status species within this quad can be obtained
on the internet at<http://www.nesparks,net/nhp/quad.html>,
Our review indicates that the only federally protected Species likely to occur in the project area is
the West Indian manatee (Tricheehus manargq), a federally-endangered mammal, The species has
been reported from Carteret County and there is an occurrence record in Core Sound near Davis,
south of the project site. The shallow, estuarine waters of the project area may provide suitable
habitat for manatees that move along the Atlantic Coast during summer months and are seasonal
transients in North Carolina,primarily from June through October. Manatees may occupy waters
one to two ureters (3.3 -6.6 feet) deep. The species moves extensively when in North Carolina
waters and past occurrence records cannot be used to precisely deterrrrine the likelihood that it will
be presence at a particular construction site. '
Based on information in the PIR(DCM-MP-1, 3a) construction would require"pile driving
equipment on barges." Project diagrams indicate that the watezward portion of the
breakwater/groins would be in water greater than three feet deep. Pile driving during construction
poses a risk to manatees. To protect manatees in North Carolina, the Service developed guidelines
entitled"Precautions for General Construction in Areas Which May lie Used by the West Indian
Manatee in North Carolina." These guidelines address all types of in.water construction, except
blasting, and should produce little, if any, additional expense, The guidelines are intended mainly
to ensure that construction personnel are informed that manatees may occur in the work area,that
work should cease if a manatee approaches the work area,work should not resume until the
manatee leaves the work area, and procedures for reporting the death or injury of a manatee.
These guidelines are available on our web site at<h ://nc,
es.fws.aov/mar.mal/znanatee�Aii4deli=es,;pc fl, The risk to manatees could be reduced to an

acceptable leyel by the implementation of the service's guidelines. The risk would be further
reduced by performing the work during the period of November through May.
With the inclusion of our manatee guidelines,the Service would concur with a dete=ination 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 recon$idered if. (1)new information reveals impacts of this identified action that
may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered; (2)this action is
subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review; or, (3) a new species is
listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the identified action.
Service Concerns and recommendations
The Service supports increased access for recreational fishing and it is apparent that the 13AA was
designed to minimize adverse environmental impacts. The Service is pleased that asphalt
pavement associated with the old US Highway 70 would be removed and the area planted with
grass. The reduction of impervious surface from 33.84%to 29.4%will benefit water quality in
adjacent waters. However,we believe additional measures could be incorporated into project plan
to further benefit fish and wildlife resources.
First,the Service supports the recommendations of the NCDCM regarding gaps in the
breakwater/groin structures, The NCDCM recommended that these structures have equal gaps
between each sheathing board totaling at least one inch of open area for every linear foot Pf
breakwater. Such openings would serve to prevent the trapping of sediment which can lead to
shoreline recession in other areas.
Second, areas of reduced height, or drop,downs along the 258,foot stone sill may be more
beneficial for the passage of large, mobile organisms than the proposed 12,inch�diamter concrete
pipes, We appreciate the effort to indent the sill at culvert location, from 6.S feet to ho more that
four feet,to allow for"day lighting" of the culverts.' However, some organisms may be reluctant
to pass through the concrete pipes. The culverts are proposed instead of drop-downs to reduce the
problem of scouring. The proper use of filter Fabric, stone$ large enough to resist displacement,
and the correct slope to absorb wave energy should minimize the risk of scour, The current
proposal calls for one 12-inch culvert at 20-foot intervals, or roughly five percent of the sill
length, The Service recornmends that at least ten percent of the overall sill length consist of gaps.
As an alternative to drop-down along the sill,the structure could consist of discrete sections
parallel to the shore,but offset with sortie overlap. The overlapping sections would allow an
indirect couuectiou between the marsh and Core Sound.
Third, the Service does not Support the placement of sand fill in the area behind the sill. Based on
project diagrams, this area is currently within the iuteztidal zone, an area suitable for a fringe
marsh. Project diagrams also show a natural fringe marsh southwest of the area that would be
planted. The current profile appears suitable for the expansion of the existing fringe marsh. A
natural expansion could augment the proposed planting of marsh vegetation. Pegardless of the
origin of the fringe marsh, once it is established, the,plants will build a tough root mat which will
trap.organic matter and built in thickness. This natural process provides the best methods for
creat}ng and maintaining a healthy fringe marsh.

Fourth,while the overall result of the project would be a reduction in impervio46 surface, every
effort should be made to reduce impervious Surface. Both,Core Sound and Oyster Creek have
water quality classifications of SA-ORW(Outstanding Resource Waters. Current state
regulations limit new construction on the shoreline of ORW to 25 percent coverage, but make
exceptions for redevelopment such as the present proposal. In this regard, the Service
recommends that landscape blocks be considered for areas such as the sidewalk and concrete
apron landward of the ramps, Such blocks, also referred to as infiltration blocks or modular
paving blocks, create a fug Surface but minimize the amount of impervious area, allow vegetation
to grow, and allow precipitation,to infiltrate into the subsurface soil. The open portion of the
blocks reduces runoff volumes. Surface vegetation growing in the open'portions will trap some
sediment andmutrient'frorn swface runoff, Stich blocks should also be considered for the access
road,parking area, and maneuvering area which together represent approximately 20,000 ft .
Fifth,the proposed re-vegetation of the abandoned alignment of US Highway 17 should use native
vegetation. Plants should be adapted to the soils and hydrology of the area to minimize the need
for fertilizer,pesticides, and/or herbicides,
Overall, the service supportp.the creation of the proposed BAA. We do request that the
coordinated federal position recommend the five points outlined above. These measures would
Serve as an example for similar project by private interests, The service appreciates the
opportunity to comment on this 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 919456-4520, ext. 27 or by e-mail at<[e-mail]>. Please provide

SUBJECT: COMMENTS & RECOMMENDATIONS - CAMA MAJOR PERMIT -
APR 2 6 2004
NCWRC-Oyster Creek, Davis, Carteret County .� ��
ill
DATE: April 21, 2004
The following are my comments and recommendations regarding the afore-mentioned proposal.
The proposal is for the construction of a public launching facility, inclusive of 2 ramps, 3 docks,
retaining wall, riprap, rock sill, parking lot, and wetlands planting. The docks serve to allow safe use
of the ramps, and are`�onsistent 15A NCAC 07H .0208. The substrate in the area of the ramps is
sandy, high energy, aid debris littered. While the ramps exceed the length restrictions allowed
under the General Permit for such structures, they are consistent with all use standards found in the
same section. The breakwaters proposed exceed the dimensions found in the General Permit for
such structures, but do not exceed standards found in 15A NCAC 07H .0208. They do not protrude
beyond the docks such a distance as to pose a hazard to navigation. The gaps are not equal in
frequency to the General Permit requirement, but are equal in percentage of open space. One
requirement in the General Permit Standards that should be employed is the requirement for a 5'
gap every 100'. The proposed riprap and retaining wall are consistent with General Permit
Standards. The site location is conducive to the construction of a stone sill, and will probably result
in a healthy marsh habitat. This proposed structure is not excessive in i',s bottom usage, and allows
for water passage through the culverts. If the NC DMF and NOAA alloJfor this structure to serve
the function of fish passage, it will meet with the intents of .0208. The height of the structure is not
sufficient to prevent navigation hazards, and consequently the permit should include language for
extra marking of the structure. The high ground impervious area exceeds the allowance for
Outstanding Resource Waters, but represents an overall reduction consistent with the non-
conforming standards found in 15A NCAC 07J .0211. 1 recommend the permit be authorized
contingent upon the following conditions:
1. Sills shall be marked at 25-foot intervals with yellow reflectors extending at least 3 feet
above the normal high water level.
2. Rock sills shall be porous to allow water circulation through the structure.
3. The height of the vertical breakwater shall not exceed six inches above the normal high
water level.
4. The rock sill and riprap shall be constructed of stone, clean riprap, or other suitable material
approved by Division personnel. The stone shall be of sufficient size and slope to prevent its
movement from the site by wave or current action.

5. The breakwater shall be constructed with an equal gap between each sheathing board
totaling at least one inch of open area for every linear foot of breakwater. The breakwater
shall have at least one, five foot opening at every 100 feet. The breakwater sections may be
staggered and overlap as long as the five-foot separation between sections is maintained.
Overlapping sections shall not overlap more than 10 feet.
6. The permittee will maintain the structure and planted marsh in good condition and in
conformance with the terms and conditions of the permit. The permittee is not relieved of
this requirement if they abandon the permitted activity without having it transferred to a third
party. The structure shall be removed within 90 days of notification from the Division of
Coastal Management if a determination is made that the structure is not serving its purpose.
7. No fill will be placed on submerged aquatic vegetation or productive shellfish beds.
8. No marsh grass will be excavated or filled.
9. The authorized project is located adjacent to a primary nursery area (PNA). Therefore, in
accordance with T15A:07H.0208 of the Rules of the Coastal Resources Commission, no
new dredging or excavation within the PNA shall be permitted. Dredging in any manner,
including "kicking" with boat propellers is not authorized. This prohibition shall be applied
and enforced throughout the entire existence of the permitted structure.
10. No spoil material is to be placed within 30 feet of the normal high water line, except that
which will be used to backfill the area behind the permitted bulkhead.
11. The riprap will not extend waterward more than 5 feet from the mean high water level at any
point along its alignment at the time of construction.
12. The bulkhead alignment will approximate the mean high water level at the time of
construction.
13. No attempt will be made by the permittee to prevent the full and free use by the public of all
navigable waters at or adjacent to the authorized work.
14. The authorized structure and associated activity must not cause an unacceptable
interference with navigation.
15. In order to protect water quality, runoff from the construction must not visibly increase the
amount of suspended sediments in adjacent waters.
16. The permitted activity will be conducted in such a manner as to prevent a significant
increase in turbidity outside of the area of construction or construction-related discharge.
Increases such that the turbidity in the waterbody is 25 NTU's or less in all saltwater classes
are not considered significant.

Page 02

April 21, 2004
17. Appropriate sedimentation and erosion control devices, measures or structures must be
implemented to ensure that eroded materials do not enter adjacent wetlands, watercourses
and property (e.g. silt fence, diversion swales or berms, sand fence, etc.). This is of
particular importance in the area of fill behind the rock sill.
18. Any development or land disturbing activity that is considered non-water dependent is not
authorized within 30 feet of the normal high water level unless specifically exempted by
Coastal Resource Commission (CRC) regulations in place at the time of such development.
NOTE: An Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan will be required for this project. This plan
must be filed at least thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of any land disturbing activity. Submit
this plan to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Land Quality Section, 127

Re: Oyster Creek Boating Access Area- Major Permit Application
Dear Ms. Barrett:
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission(NCWRC)request that a CAMA
Major Development Permit be issued for the construction of a new NCWRC public
boating access area on Oyster Creek at Core Sound in Carteret County.
Please find the enclosed major development permit application,proposed development
drawings, CAMA application fee,property deed, site map, and riparian notification green
cards.
Based on a review of the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act for Minor
Construction Activities (G.S. 15A NCAC 0 1 C .0408), we have determined that
preparation of a State Environmental Assessment is not required because construction
activities fall under both the general and specific minimum criteria applicable to this
project.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact me at
[phone] x295 or via email at [e-mail]. Otherwise, please
mail the permit to my attention at the address listed in the footer below. Thank you for
your assistance.

Dear Mr. Cooney:
The NC Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your application for State
approval for development of your property located adjacent to the Oyster Creek on the southwest
side of Highway 70 in Davis. It was received on March 24, 2004, and appears to be adequate for
processing at this time. The projected deadline for making a decision is June 06, 2004. 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 daysfrom the 241h of March 2004, 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 commentsfrom reviewing agencies.
Sincerely,
T. Barrett
