9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
The project is the "Old Fish Meal Plant" to the west of Hwy. 101 as you exit Beaufort. The site can also be
reached by turning left off Hwy 70 at the stoplight in front of the Beaufort Courthouse and taking another left onto SR
1170(West Beaufort Rd.). Take the second driveway past Town Creek Marina to the left to reach the project site. The
site is located adjacent to Gallants Channel, which is part of Town Creek. Gallants Channel connects Beaufort to the
Newport River. The Beaufort—Morehead City Airport lies just to the north of the site. Adjacent to the northwest is land
owned by Aqua 10 Corporation. Immediately to the south is another parcel owned by the Friends of the N.C. Maritime
Museum. The project site is a 28.18-acre tract, and was the site of a Fish Meal Factory with a few remaining buildings
and concrete foundations. The existing buildings are to be removed after being documented by the Division of Cultural
Resources.
The average elevation of the tract noted by the applicant was+5'above MSL. Upland successional vegetation
covers the high ground area. There are fringes of coastal wetlands behind the old existing sheet pile bulkhead and
Section 404 Federal Wetlands to the south and east sides of the site. These lines have been delineated and surveyed
in. The USACE revalidated the survey on 5/18/2004. There is approximately 1400 linearfeet of shoreline including the
existing basin. Development on this shoreline is currently made up of a steel sheet pile bulkhead that is in disrepair,
with the tie back system completely gone, and coastal marsh growing behind the wall. There is an existing gravel
driveway, several concrete slabs, an old building, and several piles of concrete debris on the high ground areas. The
adjacent shoreline to the southeast has a dock and a shoreline stabilized by an existing wall and riprap. The adjacent
shoreline to the northwest is natural with areas of coastal marsh to NHW. The soils on site are a sandy loam. Water
depths along the southeast shoreline drop quickly from the edge of the existing wall, from —7' to —17'NLW. Water
depths at the mouth of the existing basin are from—19'to—21' NLW. Depths northwest of the basin vary from—2'to—
17' near the end of the basin. An existing channel lies several hundred feet to the south and the west of the site. The
width of the waterbody is approximately 600'.
The Division of Water Quality classifies the waters of Town Creek,which make up Gallants Channel,as SC. The
Division of Marine Fisheries does not classify the waters of Town Creek as a PNA. The area is closed to shellfishing.
Carteret County classifies the site as Developed,with all AECs classified Conservation. An archeological assessment
has been conducted on site by the North Carolina State Historic Preservation office.
The Friends of the North Carolina Maritime Museum propose to revitalize a 28.18-acre tract of land in
preparation for the 2006 Tall Ships Exhibition. The project includes demolition of an existing building,and a steel sheet
pile bulkhead.After demolition, the site would be graded as indicated on the construction drawings. After grading,the
site would be sodded or seeded and mulched. New steel sheet pile breakwaters and pile-supported boardwalks are
proposed along the shoreline. Rip-rap will be used to stabilize the toe of the new structures. Some maintenance
dredging would be required in the boat basin and along the proposed boardwalk. A temporary floating dock to provide
docking for a water taxi is proposed in the basin. Access walkways over the marsh would be constructed to reach the
boardwalk. A small amount(.21 acres)of marsh creation is proposed behind the boardwalk to the southeast. Upland
development includes a gravel parking lot(91,159sf)that creates approximately 240 parking spaces, improved gravel
drive (5,689sf), and a concrete seat wall (4,523sf). Two asphalt connections to SR 1170 would be constructed
(1,753sf). The concrete seat wall would be constructed at the southern end of a proposed Great Lawn area. The seat
wall would be used as a delineation point from high ground to the lower elevations leading to the marsh. Storm water
runoff would be directed through a vegetated swale and through a ditch that outfalls at Gallants Channel.
There is approximately 870'of existing steel sheet pile bulkhead on site. The old bulkhead to the southeast is
to be cut off at grade(335). Directly in front of the cut off wall, an 8'wide boardwalk built with concrete piles and deck
would be built. Standard pile driving equipment would be used. The waterward side of the boardwalk would have
timber fender piles driven to temporarily moor the Tall Ships.
There would be 432'of new steel pile breakwater installed around the southeastern peninsula. The breakwater

Field Investigation Report
Friends of the N.C. Maritime Museum

would have 1"gaps between the sheets to allow water flow to the wetlands behind the wall. The sheet pile would be
incorporated with concrete piles waterward to form the 12'wide boardwalk. The 12'wide boardwalk would straddle the
old wall. This section of boardwalk would also have timber fender piles driven for side to docking. A 1200sf section of
this boardwalk would cover coastal wetlands on the northeast side of the basin.
A new steel sheet pile bulkhead (136')would be constructed at the north end of the boat basin on high ground.
The old wall would be completely removed. The 12' wide boardwalk would continue to the waterward side of the
bulkhead and end at the northwest corner of the basin.
A shallow bottom area of 5,674sf would be disturbed by the removal of the remainder of the sheet pile bulkhead
to the southwest in the boat basin. This area is filled with concrete slabs and debris that would be removed before
boardwalk construction.
The southwest side of the basin would have a 16'wide by 170' long boardwalk constructed with concrete piles
and decks. Additional,diagonally driven piles would be used under the deck for stabilization. Either a plastic or timber
wave attenuator is proposed to be attached to the western side of the boardwalk to help alleviate the strong currents
from the northwest.
The toe of the new boardwalks and breakwaters would be stabilized by placing 1268cy of rip-rap material at their
base. The toe protection would include placing geo fiber underneath the rock. The rip-rap would be sloped against the
breakwaters to 10' from the walls or would be used as a sill on the southwestern boardwalk with a toe to toe width of
16'.
Maintenance dredging would be necessary in the boat basin (150'x 50'). The average depth is-6' 10"and the
final project depth is -12'. Two new areas outside the basin, a120'x 40'area to the southwest, and a 16'x 40'area to
the southeast would be dredged.The average depth to the southwest is-9',with the final project depth to the southwest
-12'. The average depth to the southeast is—5',with the final project depth to the southeast-7'. All depths are at NLW.
Dredging would be necessary to ensure uniform depths for mooring the Tall Ships. Dredging would not be necessary
for navigation to the existing channel, There were sparse oysters noted along the shoreline during the site visits.
A10'x 200'temporary floating dock would be installed along the southeast side of the basin to be used for water
taxi service. Access docks (2) covering 109sf of coastal marsh are proposed to access the boardwalks. These
accesses are to be elevated a minimum of three feet above the marsh substrate.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
Impacts to Coastal Wetlands and the Public Trust Water AECs include disturbance from removing the old
bulkhead and replacing it with a boardwalk and breakwater system,and maintenance dredging.The area to be dredged
within the basin is approximately 50' x 150' x 5'4" (7500sf), removing 1510cy of material. The area dredged to the
southeast would be 16'x 40'x 2'(640sf), removing 47cy of material. The area dredged to the southwest would be 120'
x 40'x3', and would have 538cy of material removed. Spoil material would be placed on site out of the 30'buffer and in
no wetland area. A turbidity curtain is proposed to contain sediments during construction, as turbidity would increase
during times of dredging or the installation of the rip-rap. The rip-rap used for the toe protection of the breakwaters and
boardwalks would cover 10,150sf of bottom habitat.A total of 1,015 linear feet of 8', 12',and 16'wide boardwalk,a total
of which 1200sf shades coastal wetlands and 10,300sf covers public trust waters is proposed. The access structures
tying in to the boardwalk would shade 109sf of coastal marsh. The temporary floating dock for the water taxi would
shade 2000sf of Public Trust Water. The creation of 9,270sf of wetland area is proposed in front of the Great Lawn
area. The only bulkheading is in the high ground area north of the basin (136'). The upland development includes
91,159sf of gravel parking area, and 125,000sfof Great Lawn area graded. A Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan
will be applied for with the Division of Land Quality, as will a Stormwater Plan from the Division of Water Quality.. The

grading plan would utilize existing site conditions and contours to control runoff,so as not to change drainage patterns.
The total impervious area on high ground is 104,459sf(2.41 acres)yielding an overall impervious area of 8.5%and 0%
within the Estuarine Shoreline AEC..

Executive Summary
The Friends of the North Carolina Maritime Museum (FOM) propose to revitalize an existing
28.18-acre parcel of land in Beaufort, North Carolina in preparation for the 2006 Tall Ships
Exhibition. The City of Beaufort has been chosen to host this event next year. The project
study area is located on State Road 1170 adjacent to Gallant's Channel. The Beaufort-
Morehead City Airport lies just northeast of the project study area (See attached vicinity map).
The project study area currently consists of disturbed/successional land resulting from past
activities on the site. A few of the original buildings remain onsite, but they will be removed prior
to the revitalization. There is an old steel bulkhead along the existing shoreline that was
constructed during the operation of the fishmeal plant. It is currently in disrepair and has failed
in many locations.
Four plant communities occur in the project study area: salt marsh, freshwater shrub-scrub
wetlands, maritime shrub-scrub, and maintained/disturbed land. Section 404 wetlands as
regulated by the ACOE are present on the site and have been delineated and surveyed during a
previous site investigation. The ACOE has verified the wetland delineated and revalidated the
wetland survey on 5/18/2004.
The AECs occurring onsite include the areas of coastal marsh along the shoreline and coastal
shoreline, which consists of the land within 75 feet of the normal high water level. The current
coastal marsh AEC jurisdiction line is indicated on the attached plan sheets. Public trust waters
are waterward of the MHWL and are directly adjacent to the project study area.
Potential coastal wetland and public trust waters AEC impacts include minor disturbances from
removing the old bulkhead and replacing it with a boardwalk and breakwater system. Minor
dredging will also occur in and adjacent to the existing boat basin. Potential AEC impacts include
the following:
• 1,015 linear ft. of boardwalk covering 11,500 feet2 over coastal marsh and public trust
waters (along old bulkhead line)
• 2,095 yds3 of dredging (1,510 yds3 within basin and 585 yds3 outside of basin)
109 ftz of shading impact to coastal marsh from access walkways leading to the
boardwalk. Walkways will be a minimum of 3 ft. above the ground surface.
Temporary 200' x 10' water taxi dock
• 1,268 yds3 of rip rap placed in the water as toe protection and for the sub tidal groin
• 0.10 acre of impact resulting from excavation to a mud flat located within the northern
peninsula, behind the failed bulkhead. This area is waterward of the MHWL and should
be considered a public trust area.
• 0.03-acre of disturbance to small fringes of coastal wetland that will be disturbed as a
result of removing the old bulkhead around the southern peninsula.

1.0 PROJECT INFORMATION ,
M.?
The Friends of the North Carolina Maritime Museum (FOM) propose to revitalize an existing
28.18-acre parcel of land in Beaufort, North Carolina in preparation for the 2006 Tall Ships '�� ;.
Exhibition. The City of Beaufort has been chosen to host this event next year. Mr. Mike
Winters, PE of Moffatt & Nichol (M&N) of
Raleigh, NC is serving as the Project Engineer ' ^�
and Project Manager for the Gallant's Channel OCJ
Waterfront project. Mr. Jeff Harbour of
Environmental Services, Inc. (ESI) of Raleigh,
NC is the environmental consultant responsible
for CAMA, 404, and 401 permitting. The project AL
study area is located on State Road 1170 (West
Beaufort Road) adjacent to Gallant's Channel.
The Beaufort-Morehead City Airport lies just f
northeast of the project study area (See
attached vicinity map).
1.1 Project Description
The FOM wish to reconstruct some shoreline stabilization measures along with elevated
boardwalks along the shoreline in preparation for the 2006 Tall Ships Exhibition and in preparation
for the future expansion of the NC Maritime Museum. The demolition and construction along the
existing shoreline is proposed as follows:
• 870'+/- of existing steel sheet pile bulkhead to be removed after installation of new
structures. Some will be cut off at grade and some will be removed completely.
• 335' +/- of old bulkhead will be cut off at grade and elevated pile-supported boardwalk will
be constructed immediately waterward of the old bulkhead.
• 432' +/- of new steel sheet pile breakwater will be constructed around the easternmost
peninsula. Elevated pile-supported boardwalk will be constructed as part of the
breakwater system. This system will straddle the failed bulkhead.
• 136' +/- of new steel sheet pile bulkhead will be built in high ground along the rear of the
existing boat basin with pile-supported boardwalk to be built along the waterward side of
this bulkhead.
• A total of 1,015 linear feet of pile-supported boardwalk covering 11,500 ft2 will be
constructed along the existing shoreline.
• 1,268 yds3 of riprap will be used to stabilize the toe of new structures and to stabilize the
remaining portions of the old bulkhead. The toe of the riprap will be no wider than 10 feet.

• A minor amount of maintenance dredging will be required in the existing boat basin (1,510
yds) to remove material that sloughs off and to provide consistent depths.
• Dredging adjacent to the two fingers for suitable depths for mooring the tall ships (585
Yds3)
• A temporary water taxi dock (200' x 10) will be located within the existing boat basin.
• Access walkways to the pile-supported boardwalks will be constructed over 109 ft2 of
coastal marsh. These will be elevated a minimum of 3 feet above the marsh substrate.
• Approximately 0.21 acre (9,270 ft') of coastal marsh creation is proposed along the
shoreline. The area will be graded down to an elevation on +2.0 ft, which is slightly below
the MHW elevation of+2.08 ft.
No Section 404 wetlands will be impacted under this proposal. Only 0.03 acre of CAMA coastal
marsh that has become established behind the failed bulkhead and 0.10 acre of mud flat/debris
that is also behind the failed bulkhead may be affected. Timber fenders will allow the tall ships to
berth against the pile-supported boardwalks along the shoreline and inside the boat basin.
1.2 Site History and Existing Conditions
The project study area was originally occupied by
The Fish Meal Company, which produced
menhaden oil and by-products from the late
1930's until the early 1970's. The fish processing
operation also included a shipyard where boats
were constructed along with boat and net repair -
facilities. Many of the structures associated with r_
the fishmeal plant have been razed since r .
�4
operation ceased in the early 1970's leaving large
concrete slabs as the only remnants of these buildin s.
The project study area currently consists of
disturbed/successional land resulting from past
activities on the site. A few of the original
buildings remain onsite, but they will be removed
prior to the revitalization. An old dredge spoil
containment area is located along the northwest y-.
site boundary. There is an old steel bulkhead
along the existing shoreline that was constructed
during the operation of the fishmeal plant. It is
currently in disrepair and has failed in many
locations. In those areas where the bulkhead has

nn
failed, it has fallen outward from its original location. A T RFV PTV Pee?wMie) of coastal
marsh has become established behind the failed bulkhead in some locations. There is also an
existing bulk headed boat basin that was created as part of the fishmeal operation. The existing
impervious area onsite is 2.43 acres (106,066 sq.ft.) and consists of concrete slabs, old buildings,
concrete debris piles, and the existing gravel drive.
1.3 Environmental Surveys
Onsite assessments for wetlands, cultural resources issues, and threatened and endangered
species have been conducted on the project site. For further details regarding wetlands, please
refer to Section 5.0 of this document. Threatened/endangered species and cultural resource
surveys are discussed in Sections 7.0 and 8.0, respectively.
1.4 Agency Coordination
The following state and federal regulatory agencies will have had an opportunity to comment and
provide input on this project during a series of meetings: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE),
North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ), and North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management (NCDCM), North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(NCDENR), DENR — Division of Land Resources; Land Quality Section, National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS). Additional agencies that may have the opportunity to comment include: U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), North Carolina
Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF), North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC),

representative.
2.0 PURPOSE AND NEED
The purpose of the Gallant's Channel Waterfront Project, as proposed by the FOM, is to provide
an exhibition area for the 2006 Tall Ships Exhibit scheduled to occur in Beaufort in July 2006.
This exhibit visits different port cities throughout the United States, and it is a major
accomplishment to be able to host this event in Beaufort. The Gallant's Channel Waterfront site
will provide additional berthing areas for several ships. The site will also have a great lawn area
for other festivities that will occur during the July 2006 event.
The specific need is to be able to provide sufficient berth space for several of the tall ships and to
provide additional open space for related festivities. This will involve the construction of an
elevated boardwalk and breakwater system ir, the location of the existing, failed bulkhead. No
permanent docking or mooring space will be provided. All berthing is temporary and will be
accomplished via "side to" berthing. A water taxi dock will also be constructed to allow alternate
modes of transportation to and from the site during the 2006 event.
A gravel parking lot will be constructed to accommodate cars and buses.
2.1 ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS
ACOE guidance from 22 April 1986 requires that alternatives be practicable to the applicant and
that the purpose and need for the project must be the applicant's purpose and need. This
guidance also states that project purpose is to be viewed from the applicant's perspective rather
than only from the broad, public perspective. The essential point of the ACOE policy guidance of
22 April 1986 is that under the Section 404 (b)(1) Guidelines, an alternative must be available to
the applicant to be a practicable alternative. Pursuant to 40 CFR 230.10(a)(2) practicable
alternatives are those alternatives that are "available and capable of being done after taking into
consideration cost, existing technology, and logistics in light of overall project purpose."
The preamble to the Guidelines states, "if an alleged alternative is unreasonably expensive to the
applicant, the alternative is not practicable." Section 40 CFR 230.10 (a) of the Guidelines state
that " no discharge of dredged or fill material shall be permitted if there is a practicable alternative
to the proposed discharge which would have less adverse impact on the aquatic ecosystem, so
long as the alternative does not have other significant environmental consequences."

The FOM has investigated other options for hosting the 2006 Tall Ships Ex i ion. in
light of the future plans for the project study area, it was decided to propose the necessary
infrastructure on this site in preparation for the 2006 event as opposed to finding another site.
Other sites that are close to Beaufort, and that already have some infrastructure in place, are
unavailable to the FOM. The FOM feel that the currently proposed project site represents the best
possible location for this project because the proposed waterfront infrastructure meshes perfectly
with the ultimate plans for the site, which includes a recreated maritime village and other
attractions associated with the existing NC Maritime Museum.
2.2 No Action Alternative
A "No Action" alternative is here considered to be one that avoids all wetland and surface water
impacts. A "No Action" decision for this project would result in negative impacts to FOM, the City
of Beaufort, the Tall Ships Exhibition, and the general public. The "No Action" alternative is not
capable of achieving the basic purpose and need of the proposed project and, therefore, is not a
reasonable alternative.
3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
3.1 Soils
The Soil Survey of Carteret County, NC indicates that the project study area is mapped as
containing one soil-mapping unit. This soil-mapping unit consists of Augusta loamy fine sand
(Ag). This soil is nearly level and somewhat poorly drained. It is found on flats and in
depressions on stream and low marine terraces near rivers, creeks, sounds, and bays (USDA
1978). The project study area also contains an area that has been used for dredge disposal.
This area is located along the northwest boundary, east of SR 1170.
3.2 Water Resources
The project study area is in the White Oak River basin is located in one USGS hydrologic unit;
03020106.
A Best Usage Classification is assigned to tidal salt waters of the North Carolina based on the
existing or contemplated best usage of various bodies of water. Town Creek, which forms
Gallant's Channel, has been assigned a Best Usage Classification of SC from its source to the
Newport River (NCDENR 2005). Class SC water bodies are salt-water bodies suitable for
secondary recreation, fishing, and aquatic life including propagation and survival, and wildlife.
Town Creek is not listed as an Outstanding Resource Water (ORW) or a High Quality Water
(HQW).
3.3 Plant Communities
Distribution and composition of plant communities throughout the study corridor reflect landscape-
level variations in topography, soils, hydrology, and past and present land use practices.
Scientific names are in accordance with Radford (1968) and other regional references.

Four plant communities occur in the project study area: salt marsh, freshwater shrub-scrub
wetlands, maritime shrub-scrub, and maintained/disturbed land.
Morehead City LXAVI
Salt marsh occurs along the shoreline and has
become established in several small areas behind
the old bulkhead. This community is dominated by
Spartina altemiflora, S. patens, Borrichia
frutescens, and Salicornia sp. There are also _. ._.
several large expanses of undisturbed salt marsh y
along the shoreline of the project study area that
contain S. alterniflora and Juncus romerianus that
will not be affected by this proposed project. These f
larger areas of salt marsh are north and south of
the proposed waterfront construction.
�z Freshwater shrub-scrub wetlands are located
T J
landward of the mean high water line and are
scattered throughout the project study area.
Dominant vegetation within this community includes
Salix nigra, Scirpus cyperinus, and Typha latifolia.
These wetlands are identified on the wteland plat
provide in Attachment A and portions of these
wetlands have been identified as seasonal rookery
habitat for the green-backed heron (Butorides
striatus).
Maritime shrub-scrub community consists of high ground uplands and is vegetated primarily with
Myrica cerifera, Ilex vomitoria, Quercus spp. and Pinus spp. This community is located in the
vicinity of the dredge disposal area.
The mixed pine/hardwood forest is located on the opposite side of SR 1170 from the waterfront
portion of the project study area. No work is currently proposed in this area. Dominant vegetation
includes Pinus taeda, Magnolia grandiflora, Persea borbonia, Acer rubrum, Quercus laurifolia,
Quercus virginiana, Ilex vomitoria, Myrica cerifera, and Smilax spp.

Maintained/disturbed land includes those areas that
are routinely maintained or have been disturbed to
a degree that they no longer maintain any
significant plant communities. These areas include
but are not limited to maintained rights-of-way,
residential development, driveways, powerline -
easements, utility easements, and commercial W;..
development.
3.4 Wildlife
During the field investigation phase of this project, the Gallant's Channel Waterfront site was
visually surveyed for signs of wildlife. Direct observations wildlife were documented, and
expected population distributions were determined through observations of available habitat and
review of supportive documentation found in Martof et al. (1980), Webster et al. (1985), Hamel
(1992), and Palmer and Braswell (1995).
Mammals expected to occur in and around the project study area include raccoon (Procyon lotor),
marsh rabbit (Sylvilagus palustris) and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginanus).
No terrestrial reptiles were observed within the project study area. Reptile species expected to
occur in the project study area include, but are not limited to, black racer (Co/uber constrictor),
eastern box turtle (Terrapene caroling), green anole (Anolis carolinensis), rough green snake
(Opheodrys aestivus), ground skink (Scincella lateralis), and rat snake (Elaphe obsoleta).
No terrestrial or aboreal amphibians were observed within the project study area. Terrestrial or
aboreal amphibians expected to occur in and around the project study area include such species
as southern leopard frog (Rana utricularia) and spring peeper (Pseudacris crucifer).
Avian species observed within the project study area include great blue heron (Ardea herodias),
osprey (Pandion haliaetus), snowy egret (Egretta thula), ring-billed gull (Larus delawarensis), and
belted kingfisher (Ceryle alcyon). Other species expected to occur in and around the project
study area include such species as mallard (Anas platyrhynchos), green-backed heron, great
egret (Ardea alba), red-shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus), blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata), American
crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos), common yellowthroat (Geothlypis trichas), various warblers
(Dendroica spp.), cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus), anhinga (Anhinga anhinga), and herring gull
(Larus argentatus). Information provided to ESI indicates that some of the onsite freshwater
wetlands offer seasonal habitat
The following reptile and amphibian species may to occur in the freshwater wetland portion of the
project study area: green frog (Rana clamitans), bull frog (Rana catesbeiana), slider (Pseudemys

scripta), mud turtle (Kinosternon subrubrum), banded u� r snake fasc at8f brown water
snake (Nerodia taxispilota), and cottonmouth (Agkistrodon piscivorus).
The coastal marsh along the shoreline also provides habitat for numerous marine vertebrates and
invertebrates. Species directly observed include fiddler crabs (Uca spp.), marsh crabs (Sesarma
spp.), mud snails (llyanassa obsoleta), marsh periwinkles (Littorina irrorata), Eastern oyster
(Crassostrea virginica), and Atlantic ribbed mussels (Geukensia demissa).
4.0 COASTAL AREA MANAGEMENT ACT
NCDCM and the Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) oversee the Coastal Area
Management Act (CAMA), which affords additional protection to certain areas located within any
of the twenty (20) coastal counties. Activities that impact certain coastal wetlands that are under
the jurisdiction of CAMA, also known as Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC), typically
require CAMA approval as granted through the NCDCM. Pre-determined areas within the
project study area will qualify as AECs because they meet one or more of the following criteria
defining CAMA's AECs: 1) public trust waters; 2) estuarine waters; 3) coastal shorelines; and 4)
coastal wetlands. Public trust waters are the coastal waters and submerged lands that every
North Carolinian has the right to use. These areas often overlap with estuarine waters, but also
include many "inland" fishing waters as defined by the North Carolina Marine Fisheries
Commission. Estuarine waters are the state's oceans, sounds, tidal rivers and their tributaries,
which stretch across coastal North Carolina and link to the other parts of the estuarine system:
public trust areas, coastal wetlands and coastal shorelines. Coastal shorelines include all lands
within 75 feet of the normal high water level of estuarine waters. Coastal wetlands include any
marsh in the 20 coastal counties that regularly or occasionally flood by lunar or wind tides, and
includes one or more of the ten-listed CAMA plant species (NCDCM 2002).
4.1 Areas of Environmental Concern
Mark Hardeman of NCDCM established the current coastal marsh AEC jurisdiction line with ESI
staff in December 2004. The AECs occurring onsite include the areas of coastal marsh along
the shoreline and coastal shoreline, which consists of the land within 75 feet of the normal high
water level. The current coastal marsh AEC jurisdiction line is indicated on the attached plan
sheets. Public trust waters are waterward of the MHWL and are directly adjacent to the project
study area.
4.2 Potential AEC Impacts
Potential coastal wetland and public trust waters AEC impacts include minor disturbances from
removing the old bulkhead and replacing it with a boardwalk and breakwater system. Minor

dredging will also occur in and adjacent to the existing boat basin. Potential AEC impacts include
the following:
• 1,015 linear ft. of boardwalk covering 11,500 feet' over coastal marsh and public
trust waters (along old bulkhead line)
• 2,095 yds3 of dredging (1,510 yds3 within basin and 585 yds3 outside of basin)
• 109 ft' of shading impact to coastal marsh from access walkways leading to the
boardwalk. Walkways will be a minimum of 3 ft. above the ground surface.
• Temporary 200' x 10' water taxi dock
• 1,268 yds3 of rip rap placed in the water as toe protection and for the sub tidal groin
• 0.10 acre of impact resulting from excavation to a mud flat located within the
northern peninsula, behind the failed bulkhead. This area is waterward of the
MHWL and should be considered a public trust area.
• 0.03-acre of disturbance to small fringes of coastal wetland that will be disturbed as
a result of removing the old bulkhead around the southern peninsula.
The following photographs are of the 0.10-acre mud flat/debris pile that is surrounded by the failed
bulkhead on the northern peninsula. This area will be excavated and a sub tidal riprap groin will
be constructed along with an elevated boardwalk. Approximately half of the area will become
open water (i.e. public trust waters) as part of the existing boat basin once the old bulkhead and
debris is removed and maintenance dredging has cleaned up the area.

These photographs show a portion of the 0.03-acre of e land disturbance that will result from
removing the old bulkhead around the southern peninsula and replacing it with a sheet pile
breakwater. Not all of the existing coastal marsh fringe will be affected by the new construction.
Most of the marsh will remain undisturbed and will remain connected to open water via the
breakwater system.

4.3 Essential Fish Habitat
Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) is defined by the NMFS as "those waters and substrate necessary
for fish spawning, breeding, feeding, or growth to maturity" (NMFS 1999). For the purpose of
interpreting the definition of EFH: "Waters" include aquatic areas and their associated physical,
chemical and biological properties that are used by fish and may include aquatic areas historically
used by fish where appropriate; "substrate" includes sediment, hard bottom, structures underlying
the waters, and associated biological communities; "necessary" means the habitat required to
support a sustainable fishery and the managed species' contribution to a healthy ecosystem; and
"spawning, breeding, feeding, or growth to maturity" covers a species' full life cycle (NMFS 1999).
An EFH Assessment is an analysis of the effects of a proposed action on EFH. Pursuant to 50
CFR 600.920 (g) mandatory contents include: a description of the proposed action, an analysis of
the effects of that action on EFH, the Federal action agency's views on those effects, and
proposed mitigation, if applicable. An adverse effect includes any impact that reduces the quality
and/or quantity of EFH. Pursuant to 50 CFR 600.810, adverse effects may include direct (e.g.,
contamination or physical disruption), indirect (e.g., loss of prey, or reduction in a species'
fecundity), site-specific or habitat-wide impacts, including individual, cumulative, or synergistic
consequences of actions.

During agency review of the permit application for the proposed pc�,31er�t he ACOE makes the
initial determination of whether or not a proposed project "may a v r y,affect"��H. This
determination by the ACOE is submitted to the NMFS for their review and comment. NMFS will
then determine if additional consultation is necessary regarding the proposed project or if they
concur with ACOE's decision.
4.4 Potential EFH Impacts
ESI does not anticipate any negative impacts to EFH as a result of this project. The dredging will
consist of maintenance dredging within the boat basin to remove material that sloughs off during
the bulkhead removal and to obtain the appropriate depths within the basin. The 585 cubic yards
of dredging outside of the basin will occur in shallower areas that contain a sandy substrate. No
submerged aquatic vegetation was found in these areas as a result of assessments conducted by
ESI. Approximately 0.10 acre of mud flat that is littered with concrete debris and is behind the
failed bulkhead (prior photos) will be disturbed as a result of constructing the sub tidal groin in the
location of the northern peninsula. Approximately 0.03 acre of coastal marsh fringe will be
disturbed as a result of sloughing that may occur during removal of the failed bulkhead around the
southern peninsula. The remaining coastal marsh that has become established behind the failed
bulkhead will remain undisturbed. Effects of the dredging will be mitigated through the stringent
use of turbidity curtains and other Best Management Practices (BMPs).
4.5 Habitat Improvement
The submerged riprap groin that will be constructed in the location of the northern peninsula will
provide beneficial sub tidal habitat for juvenile fish and invertebrates. It will also provide substrate
for the attachment of beneficial sessile marine species such as tunicates, bryozoans, limpets,
barnacles, oysters, and mussels. The riprap used to stabilize the toe of the existing portions of
the old bulkhead that will remain and also the new structures will also provide beneficial intertidal
habitat for marine species.
The proposed project will involve the construction of breakwaters that will have slits located at pre-
determined intervals in order to allow the normal ebb and flow of the tides to continue to reach the
remaining areas of coastal marsh that have become established behind the failed bulkhead.
Approximately 0.21 acre of coastal marsh creation is proposed along the shoreline. The area will
be graded down to match the elevation of the adjacent coastal marsh. The elevation of the
proposed creation area currently ranges between +3.4 — 3.6 ft. MSL. The area will be graded
down to an elevation of approximately +2.0 ft. MSL. This is slightly lower than the areas MHW
elevation of +2.08 ft. MSL. Refer to Grading Typical Section B-B on Sheet X-4. The area will be
allowed to revegetate naturally, however, some minor supplemental planting may be performed.

The created marsh will provide new habitat for sessile and benthic invertebrates' aS'well as for
wading birds and juvenile fish. It will also provide an education opportunity for the FOM and the
NC Maritime Museum.
4.6 Previous Habitat Enhancement Projects
The FOM were issued a previous NCDCM Permit for Experimental Shoreline Stabilization
Structures on 5 April 2001 (Permit No. 39-01).
This permit allowed for the construction of
several riprap sills that help restore eroding
coastal marsh shoreline and also improve
intertidal habitat for marine species that are
dependent on hard substrate. In January 2005,
this permit was extended until 31 December
2006. Conservation easements granted to the
State of North Carolina were established behind
these riprap sills. �"� 'j"

5.0 JURISDICTIONAL ISSUES
5.1 Wetlands and Surface Waters
The ACOE and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)jointly define wetlands as:
"Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and
duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence
of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include
swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas."
According to the 1987 ACOE Wetland Delineation Manual (DOA 1987), areas must exhibit three
distinct characteristics to be considered jurisdictional wetlands.. 1) display a prevalence of
hydrophytic (water tolerant) plants, 2) area dominated by hydric soils, and 3) possess sufficient
wetland hydrology. Vegetation, soils, and hydrology data were collected during the field surveys
in order to determine whether the three criteria were satisfied within each potential wetland
area.
Dredge and fill activities in "waters of the United States" must be authorized by the ACOE
pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA). Waters considered navigable by the
ACOE are also subject to permitting of obstructions to navigation under Section 10 of the Rivers
and Harbors Act. Activities authorized by the ACOE are subject to further requirements of Section
Gallant's Channel Waterfront 12
April 2005

Environmental
Services,Inc.
401 of the CWA. In North Carolina, the NCDWQ administers the Section 401 Water Quality
Certification process. NCDCM also must issue authorization for any impacts to any AEC's under
the jurisdiction of CAMA.
5.2 Jurisdictional Wetland Determination
Section 404 wetlands as regulated by the ACOE are present on the site and have been
delineated and surveyed during a previous site investigation. The ACOE has verified the wetland
delineated and revalidated the wetland survey on 5/18/2004. A copy of the validated wetland
survey and jurisdictional determination is included in Attachment A. The project study area
contains approximately 6.4 acres of Section 404 wetlands pursuant to the validated wetland plat.
Approximately 0.74 acres of this total consists of coastal marsh. The CAMA coastal marsh
jurisdiction line has also been established onsite by ESI biologist Jeff Harbour and confirmed by
NCDCM representative Mark Hardeman.
5.3 Project Impacts
The impacts associated with this project are outlined below. No impacts are proposed to any of
the Section 404 wetlands landward of the MHWL. The AEC impacts are as follows:
• 1,015 linear ft. of boardwalk covering 11,500 feet2 over coastal marsh and public
trust waters (along old bulkhead line)
• 2,095 yds3 of dredging (1,510 yds3 within basin and 585 yds3 outside of basin)
• 109 ft2 of shading impact to coastal marsh from access walkways leading to the
boardwalk. Walkways will be a minimum of 3 ft. above the ground surface.
• Temporary 200' x 10' water taxi dock
1,268 yds3 of rip rap placed in the water as toe protection and for the sub tidal groin
• 0.10 acre of impact resulting from excavation to a mud flat located within the
northern peninsula, behind the failed bulkhead. This area is waterward of the
MHWL. ....„_
• 0.03-acre of disturbance to small fringes of coastal wetland that will be disturbed as
a result of removing the old bulkhead around the southern peninsula.
MAY 3 1 2005
5.4 Avoidance and Minimization lftrp�ead " ®CM
Complete avoidance is not possible nor is it practicable for a project such as this. This project is
water-dependant and some effects to the shoreline are unavoidable. The FOM and the project
Gallant's Channel Waterfront 13 April 2005

Environmental
Scn ices,Inc.
engineer have gone through several revisions to avoid and minimize environmental impacts in the
project study area. The original plan proposed to replace the existing bulkhead with a new
bulkhead. This would have caused a minimum of 0.5 acre of impact to the emergent coastal
marsh that has become established behind the failed bulkhead. This plan was abandoned in
favor of the current plan, which utilizes breakwaters that will allow a continued connection of the
emergent marsh with Gallant's Channel.
6.0 GENERAL CONSTRUCTION INFORMATION
The backlands will require demolition of the existing buildings, building foundations, slabs, and
other infrastructure located within the construction limits. These items will be removed and the
site will be graded as indicated on the construction drawings. As the grading is completed, the
site will be sodded and or seeded and mulched as indicated on the drawings. The majority of the
site is graded to maintain the existing stormwater flow paths indicated. A new gravel parking area
is proposed in the middle of the site and is graded to direct runoff into an existing swale. The
swale has sediment basins and rock check dams constructed in it to provide treatment of any
runoff. The swale will be sodded. A small seat wall will be constructed to separate the great lawn
area from the wetlands adjacent Gallant's Channel.
The existing waterfront will be developed by cutting off portions of the existing sheet pile at grade,
removing sections of sheet piling and the associated backfill and installing new steel sheet pile
breakwaters and bulkheads (bulkheads are installed in upland areas only) as indicated on the
drawings. New piles will be installed both in front of the existing sheet pile. Concrete caps will be
formed on the piles and newly installed sheet pile breakwaters and bulkheads to support new
concrete boardwalks. The concrete boardwalks and handrails will be installed and the toe of the
existing and new sheet pile and sheet pile breakwaters will be protected with rip-rap as indicated.
6.1 Stormwater Management
The proposed stormwater collection system consists of a 30-foot grassed buffer strip, which will
sheet flow into a new wide grass-lined swale. Two silt basins along the centerline of the swale are
also proposed. A rock check dam is located at the terminus of the proposed ditch to filter the
water prior to releasing it into an existing vegetated swale that meanders approximately 375 feet
before out falling into Gallants Channel. Additional rock check dams can be installed if they are
deemed necessary. Based upon the preliminary calculations, the maximum water depth in the
swale will be 6 inches for a 2-year storm event.

7.2 Evaluation Methodology
Habitat evaluations were conducted within the project study area by ESI. Field evaluations were
conducted to specifically address the proposed Gallant's Channel Waterfront revitalization with
regards to federally endangered and threatened species habitat. The primary goal of the
Gallant's Channel Waterfront 15 April 2005

Sersices,Inc.
protected species habitat characterization was to defefrhhdk 'rfie r pdfentnaa ly suitable habitat for
federally protected species exists within the project study area and to determine if species-specific
surveys would be necessary. Records kept by the NHP were reviewed prior to the field
investigation to identify known occurrences of listed species.
Potentially suitable habitat for listed species was identified using topographic mapping, county
soils survey mapping, wetland mapping, aerial photography, and ground truthing.
ESI biologists determined that suitable habitat was present for the following species: shortnose
sturgeon, loggerhead sea turtle, green sea turtle, leatherback sea turtle, hawksbill turtle, Kemp's
ridley sea turtle, and manatee. The suitable habitat for these species consists of the open water
directly adjacent to the project study area.
No suitable habitat for the following species is located in the project study area: American
alligator, piping plover, red-cockaded woodpecker, roseate tern, Eastern cougar, rough-leaved
loosestrife, and seabeach amaranth.
Species whose habitat is present are described below.
Shortnose surgeon — The shortnose sturgeon is a bottom-feeding fish that reaches lengths of 3 to 4
feet in length. Shortnose sturgeon is distinguished from Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus) by
smaller size and a shorter and blunter snout. Shortnose sturgeon occurs in Atlantic seaboard rivers
from the St. Johns River, Florida to eastern Canada. The sturgeon is anadromous in the
Southeast, spending most of the year in brackish estuarine environments and moving into
freshwater only when spawning (NMFS 1998). In North Carolina waters, shortnose sturgeons
migrate upstream to spawn between January and March (NMFS 1998). Spawning habitat
appears to consist of river channels with depths of 4 to 34 feet with substrates ranging from
rubble/boulder to gravel/sand/log (NMFS 1998). Larvae are found in the deepest water of the
channel and migrate downstream during their first year (NMFS 1998). Juveniles are found in
deeper portions of the lower reaches of rivers near the freshwater/saltwater boundary (NMFS
1998). In late spring through early winter adult shortnose sturgeon are typically found in estuaries
and lower sections of large rivers although some adults reportedly move into the Atlantic as well.
NHP records indicate that this species was last observed in this area along the southern coast
of Carteret County prior to 1980. Potential habitat for the shortnose sturgeon may include the
open water of Gallant's Channel. BMPs and the use of turbidity curtains will insure that the
project will not have a detrimental effect on this species.
Biological Conclusion: Not Likely to Adversely Affect
Gallant's Channel Waterfront 16 April 2005

Sea turtles — Five marine sea turtles are listed for tt963wounties affected by this project, the
loggerhead sea turtle, green sea turtle, leatherback sea turtle, hawksbill sea turtle, and the
Kemp's ridely sea turtle. Loggerhead sea turtles average 31 to 47 inches in length and weigh
from 170 to 500 pounds (Martof et al. 1980). The green sea turtle reaches a length of 30 to 60
inches and weight of 220 to 650 pounds, and has a smooth, heart-shaped shell (Martof et al.
1980). Leatherback sea turtles average 46 to 70 inches in length, weigh from 650 to 1,500
pounds, and have a large shell of leathery skin covering small irregular bones. (Martof et al.
1980). Hawksbill sea turtles average 29.5 to 36 inches in length and weigh 80 to 280 pounds.
The head has a narrow snout with smooth cutting edges on the jaws (Martof et al. 1980). The
Kemp's ridley sea turtle averages 23 to 30 inches and weighs from 79 to 110 pounds. The shell
of the Kemp's ridley is as broad as it is long; this is the most endangered of all turtles. All of these
sea turtle species are omnivorous to some degree (Martof et al. 1980, Palmer and Braswell 1995).
The loggerhead sea turtle is the most common sea turtle on the coast of the North Carolina and is
most numerous from late April to October. Sporadic nesting records exist for North Carolina
beaches (Martof et al. 1980).
Nesting habitat is not present at the project site; however, the open water of Gallant's Channel
may provide potential habitat should this species travel into the inlets or bays of the area.
These marine reptiles utilize barrier beaches for nesting, and occasionally feed in estuarine
waters. NHP records have documented occurrences of loggerhead sea turtles within 3.0 miles
of the project study area as recently as 2000.BMPs and the use of turbidity curtains will insure
that the project will not have a detrimental effect on this species.
Biological Conclusion: Not Likely to Adversely Affect
Manatee - The manatee is a large gray or brown aquatic mammal. Adults reach 10 to 13 feet
in length and weights up to 1,100 pounds (Webster et al. 1985). Manatees are herbivorous and
feed on aquatic vegetation. Manatees may be encountered in North Carolina waters during the
warmer summer months; however, they are considered transients and are much more common
in Georgia and Florida waters. Manatees prefer warm waters, but have been found in water
temperatures as low as 590 Fahrenheit (Webster et al. 1985). Manatees inhabit both salt and
fresh water bodies typically with depths of 5 to 20 feet. They may be encountered in canals,
rivers, estuarine habitats, saltwater bays, and in near-shore waters.
Gallant's Channel provides potential habitat for the manatee. NHP documents that a manatee
was observed near Morehead City on 1999. BMPs and the use of turbidity curtains will insure
that the project will not have a detrimental effect on this species. The applicant may wish to
educate the public about the possibility of encountering manatees during warm summer months.
Signage may provide a means to educate the users of this facility.

Suitable habitat for the remaining seven federal protect89 species is not presnti he project
study area and it can be concluded that the project will have No Effect on the American
alligator, piping plover, red-cockaded woodpecker, Eastern cougar, roseate tern, seabeach
amaranth, and rough leaved loosestrife.
8.0 CULTURAL RESOURCES
Pursuant to Section 106, the FOM have consulted with the State Historic Preservation Office
(SHPO) with regard to the project site. A letter dated 28 September 2004 was received from
SHPO indicating that the current onsite buildings can be removed following a detailed photo-
documentation process. The results were to be submitted to SHPO for inclusion in the
recordation plan. A copy of this letter is included in Attachment B. SHPO did not document any
other cultural resource issues onsite.
9.0 CONCLUSION
The FOM wish to revitalize the former Fish Meal Company site as an expansion of the NC
Maritime Museum. The first phase of this project is to construct the necessary infrastructure for
the upcoming 2006 Tall Ships Exhibition to be hosted by Beaufort in July 2006. This infrastructure
includes a boardwalk system along the existing shoreline, a water taxi dock, and a breakwater
system to protect the shoreline. An existing boat basin will be restored and section of failed
bulkhead will be either removed completely or cut off at grade. A gravel parking lot and a great
lawn area are also proposed as upland development on the project site.
Considerable effort has been expended by the FOM, M&N, and ESI to develop a site plan that
complies with what is acceptable to state and federal regulatory agencies. Several interagency
meeting have been held to discuss this project. Many of the comments and suggestions received
from the regulatory community have been incorporated into the plans presented herein.

CERTIFIED MAIL
RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
Friends of the NC Maritime Museum
C/o Mr. Brent Creelman
315 Front Street
Beaufort, NC 28516
This correspondence is in reference to the request submitted by your agent, Mr. Charles Bissette, dated
September 01, 2005, and received September 01, 2005. In this letter, Mr. Bissette requests the modification to
condition#8 of State Permit#133-05, which was issued to the Friends of the NC Maritime Museum on 8/24/05.
State Permit#133-05 was issued to the Friends of the NC Maritime Museum for the development of
various shoreline stabilization structures, excavation, and docks for the purpose of a 2006 exhibition and future
museum events and activities. The development addressed under the present request lies within the property
confines of State Permit#133-05. The current request is to modify condition#8 of the permit, which states:
8) The breakwater shall be constructed with 1-inch gaps between breakwater sheets to allow for
water to flow behind the wall. This permit does not authorize any backfilling of the permitted breakwater
structures without permit modification.
Mr. Bissette has requested that this condition be changed to allow for gaps equal to 2.25" per 25" of
sheeting. The reason for the change is that the sheetpile to be used is steel, 25" in width, and treated to prevent
corrosion. If gaps are to be cut and the sheets maintain their structural integrity, the breached edges will have to
be re-treated, and a gap of 1" will not allow for sufficient room to properly treat the sheetpile.
It is my determination that the intent of the permit condition, to allow for equal and dissipated circulation
through the structure, will be accomplished by the submitted and chosen method. Therefore, please consider this
Letter of Refinement as a change to condition#8, and authorization to commence the development as requested in
your September 01, 2005 letter. Please note that all original conditions of the permit still apply unless specifically
altered by this letter or another authorization. Additionally,all work authorized under this Letter of Refinement
must be accomplished in accordance with the request dated September 01, 2005 from Mr. Charles Bissette.
I appreciate your efforts to comply with the permit requirements of the Division and if you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 252-808-2808.

Dear Mr. Huggett:
Reference the application of Friends of the M !Al for a Department of the Army permit
to perform maintenance dredging and construct a boardwalk,breakwater,water-taxi dock,
submerged groin, great lawn and gravel parking lot at a 28.18 acre parcel located on West
Beaufoil Road, adjacent to Gallents Channel, southwest of Michael J. Smith Airport, in
Beaufort, Carteret County,North Carolina.
The Federal agencies have completed review of the proposal as presented by the
application and your field investigation report.
We recommend that the following conditions be included in the State authorization:
1. All work authorized by this permit must be performed in strict compliance with the
attached plans, which are a part of this permit. Any modification to these plans must be approved
by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)prior to implementation.
2. The permittee understands and agrees that, if future operations by the United States
require the removal, relocation, or other alteration, of the structure or work herein authorized, or
if, in the opinion of the Secretary of the Army or his authorized representative, said structure or
work shall cause unreasonable obstruction to the free navigation of the navigable waters, the
permittee will be required, upon due notice from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, to remove,
relocate, or alter the structural work or obstructions caused thereby, without expense to the
United States. No claim shall be made against the United States on account of any such removal,
relocation, or alteration. The permittee shall notify NOAA/NATIONAL OCEAN SERVICE
Chief Source Data Unit N CS261, 1315 E West HWY- RM 7316, Silver Spring, MD 20910-
3282 at least two weeks prior to beginning work and upon completion of work.

3. Except as specified in the plans attached to this permit,no excavation, fill or
mechanized land-clearing activities shall take place at any time in the construction or
maintenance of this project, in such a manner as to impair normal flows and circulation patterns
within waters or wetlands or to reduce the reach of waters or wetlands.
4. Except as authorized by this permit or any USACE approved modification to this
permit, no excavation, fill or mechanized land-clearing activities shall take place at any time in
the construction or maintenance of this project, within waters or wetlands. This permit does not
authorize temporary placement or double handling of excavated or fill material within waters or
wetlands outside the permitted area. This prohibition applies to all borrow and fill activities
connected with this project.
5. All mechanized equipment will be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of waters and wetlands from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic
materials. In the event of a spill of petroleum products or any other hazardous waste, the
permittee shall immediately report it to the N.C. Division of Water Quality at(919) 733-5083,
Ext. 526 or(800) 662-7956 and provisions of the North Carolina Oil Pollution and Hazardous
Substances Control Act will be followed.
6. The authorized structure and associated activity must not interfere with the public's
right to free navigation on all navigable waters of the United States. 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 for reason other than safety.
7. The permittee must install and maintain, at his expense, any signal lights and signals
prescribed by the U.S. Coast Guard, through regulations or otherwise, on authorized facilities.
For further information,the permittee should contact the U.S. Coast Guard Marine Safety Office
at(910) 772-2191.
8. In order to protect juvenile finfish resources, no excavation or filling activities will be
permitted between the dates of April 1 and September 30 of any year without the prior approval
of the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
9. All excavated materials will be confined landward of the mean high water level
elevation contour and any vegetated wetlands.
10. All excavated materials will be confined landward of the mean high water level
elevation contour within adequate dikes or other retaining structures to prevent spillover of
dredged materials into any vegetated wetlands or surrounding waters.
11. Flow from the diked retention area will be confined by pipe, trough, or similar device
to a point at or below the mean low water level elevation contour to prevent gully erosion and
siltation.
12. Excavation will not exceed 12 feet below the elevation of mean low water. In no case
shall excavation exceed the depth of connecting waters.
2

13. If the permittee discovers any previously unknown historic or archeological remains
while accomplishing the authorized work,he will immediately notify the Wilmington District
Engineer who will initiate the required coordination procedures.
14. Approval of the structure was based on determinations that there would be no
obstruction to navigation. The structure may be damaged by wave wash from passing vessels.
Issuance of this permit should not be construed, as relieving the permittee of taking proper steps
to insure the structure and moored boats will not be damaged by wave wash.
15. The permittee shall advise the Corps in writing at least two weeks prior to beginning
the work authorized by this permit and again upon completion of the work authorized by this
permit.
16. The permittee shall require its contractors and/or agents to comply with the terms and
conditions of this permit in the construction and maintenance of this project, and shall provide
each of its contractors and/or agents associated with the construction or maintenance of this
project with a copy of this permit. A copy of this permit, including all conditions, shall be
available at the project site during construction and maintenance of this project.
17. The permittee shall employ all sedimentation and erosion control measures necessary
to prevent an increase in sedimentation or turbidity within waters and wetlands outside the
permit area. This shall include,but is not limited to, the immediate installation of silt fencing or
similar appropriate devices around all areas subject to soil disturbance or the movement of
earthen fill, and the immediate stabilization of all disturbed areas. Additionally,the project must
remain in full compliance with all aspects of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973
(North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 113A Article 4).
18. The activity will be conducted in such a manner as to prevent a significant increase in
turbidity outside the area of construction or construction-related discharge. Increases such that
the turbidity in the waterbody is 50 NTU's or less in all rivers not designated as trout waters by
the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management(NCDEM), 25 NTU's or less in all
saltwater classes and in all lakes and reservoirs, and 10 NTU's or less in trout waters, are not
considered significant.
19. The permittee, upon receipt of a notice of revocation of this permit or upon its
expiration before completion of the work will, without expense to the United States and in such
time and manner as the Secretary of the Army or his authorized representative may direct,
restore the water or wetland to its pre-project condition.
20. Violations of these conditions or violations of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act or
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act must be reported in writing to the Wilmington District
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers within 24 hours of the permittee's discovery of the violation.

21. The West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus), which is listed as a federally
endangered species, has been reported in the waters in New Hanover County. In order to protect
the West Indian manatee all work should be done during the period from November 1 to May 31.
If work must be done during the period from June through October the enclosed guidelines,
entitled"Precautions for General Construction in Areas Which May Be Used by the West Indian
Manatee in North Carolina"must be followed.

SUBJECT: COMMENTS & RECOMMENDATIONS—CAMA MAJOR PERMIT-
Friends of the NC Maritime Museum, Shoreline Restoration
DATE: August 17, 2005
The following are my comments and recommendations regarding the aforementioned proposal. The
proposal is for 12,940sf of open water to be dredged, 432' of steel sheet pile breakwater, a 150' sub tidal
rip-rap groin, 1,268cy of rip-rap toe protection for the breakwaters and boardwalks, 136' of steel bulkhead
landward of the wetlands, 1015' of pile supported boardwalk, and a 10' x 200' temporary floating dock for
use during the Tall Ships event. The project has been designed to be consistent with the use standards in
15A NCAC 07H .0208. There would be a small loss of Coastal Marsh (0.1 acre) for construction of the
bulkhead. I believe there to be an overriding public benefit to make up for this small marsh loss. Therefore,
I recommend the project be authorized as proposed, contingent upon the following conditions:
1 The temporary placement or double handling of excavated or fill materials within waters or
vegetated wetlands is not authorized.
2 No excavated or fill material will be placed at any time in any vegetated wetlands/marsh or
surrounding waters outside of the alignment of the fill area indicated on the workplan drawing(s).
3 All excavated materials will be confined above mean high water and landward of regularly or
irregularly flooded marsh behind adequate dikes or other retaining structures to prevent spillover of
solids into any marsh or surrounding waters,
4 The spoil disposal area must be inspected and approved by a representative of the Division of
Coastal Management prior to the commencement of any dredging activities.

5 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.
6 The bulkhead alignment will follow the submitted plans dated May 31, 2005.
7 The riprap material must be free from loose dirt or any pollutant. It must be of a size sufficient to
prevent its movement from the site by wave or current action.
8 All backfill material will be obtained from a high ground source and confined behind the permitted
bulkhead.
9 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.
10 No backfill of the breakwater or any other filling of wetlands, estuarine waters, public trust areas or
high ground is authorized by this permit.
11 The permittee will maintain the authorized work in good condition and in conformance with the
terms and conditions of this permit. The permittee is not relieved of this requirement if he
abandons the permitted activity without having it transferred to a third party.
12 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.
13 This permit does not authorize the interference with any existing or proposed Federal project, 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.
14 In order to protect water quality, runoff from the construction must not visibly increase the amount
of suspended sediments in adjacent waters.
15 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.).
NOTE: This permit does not eliminate the need to obtain any additional state, federal or local permits,
approvals or authorizations that may be required.
NOTE: It is possible that the authorized structure may be damaged by wave wash from passing vessels.
The issuance of this permit does not relieve the permittee from taking all proper steps to ensure
the integrity of the permitted structure and the safety of moored boats. The permittee shall not hold
the United States liable for any such damage.

Subject: Action ID #200501022, Friends of the NC Maritime Museum, 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 July 20, 2005. The applicant, the Friends of the NC Maritime
Museum,have applied for a Department of the Army(DA)permit for various activities on a
28.2-acre tract adjacent to Gallants Channel near Beaufort. 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).
Proposed Activities and Anticipated Impacts
The PN contains a copy of the CAMA permit application and an"Environmental Investigation
for Gallants Channel Waterfront Development,"prepared by Environmental Services, Inc. and
Moffatt and Nichols. These documents give the various activities proposed and the associated
environmental impacts. The Environmental Investigation(EI) is dated April 2005.
Various shoreline stabilization measures are proposed. Portions of the old bulkhead would be
removed and replaced with a sheet pile breakwater Excavation behind a portion of the old
bulkhead would impact 0.10 of an acres of mudflat waterward of the mean high water line
(MHWL). Section 4.5 states that the constructed breakwaters will have slits in order to allow the
normal ebb and flow of the tides to reach the remaining areas of coastal marsh that have become
established behind the old bulkhead.

2
Along a portion of sheet pile bulkhead, a pile-support boardwalk(1,015 feet)would be
constructed. This boardwalk would cover 11,500 square feet(ft) of coastal marsh and public
trust waters. Access walkways to the boardwalk would cover log ft2 of coastal marsh. The EI
states that the walkway would be a minimum of three feet above the ground surface. Riprap
would be used to create toe protection and a submerged riprap groin. These structures would use
1,268 cubic yards (yd3) of material and would be no wider than ten feet.
Some dredging would be performed. Maintenance dredging in the existing boat basin and
outside the basin would remove 1,510 yd3 and 585 yd3, respectively. A temporary, water taxi
dock(200 feet by 10 feet) would be placed in the boat basin. No freshwater, or 404-type,
wetlands would be impacted.
An interesting aspect of the project is the creation of approximately 0.21 of an acre of coastal
marsh. This area would be graded down to two feet above mean sea level. This elevation is
slightly below the MHWL which is given as +2.08 feet.
Federally Protected Species
Section 7 of the EI considers federally protected species known to occur in Carteret County. The
list has 14 species including the American alligator(Alligator mississippiensis) which is listed
due to similarity of appearance (S/A) with the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus)which
only occur in southern Florida.
The shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum) and five species of sea turtles, when in the
water, are under the jurisdiction of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). That agency
will evaluate potential impacts of the project on sea turtles in the water. There is no sea turtle
nesting habitat(under the jurisdiction of the Service) in the project area.
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 located in the Beaufort quad. The occurrence data of special status species within
this quad can be obtained on the internet at the"Database Search" heading of<
http://www.ncnhp.org/Pages/heritagedata.html >.
Our review indicates that the West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus) is the only federally
listed species under our jurisdiction that is likely to occur in the project area. This federally-
endangered mammal is known to occur in Carteret County and the NCNHP database has a
current record for the species in the Beaufort quad. The shallow, estuarine waters of the lower
Newport River and Gallants Channel 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 be found in water one to two meters (3.3 -
6.6 feet) deep. The species moves extensively when in North Carolina waters and past

3
occurrence records cannot be used to precisely determine the likelihood that it will be presence at
a particular construction site.
Existing water depths appear to be sufficient for manatee use and the proposed dredging may
pose a risk to manatees. To protect manatees in North Carolina, the Service developed
guidelines entitled"Precautions for General Construction in Areas Which May Be 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<htlp://nc-
es.fws.gov/mammal/manatee guidelines.ndfl. The risk to manatees could be reduced to an
acceptable level 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.determination by
the District Engineer that the action is not likely to adversely affect species designated as
threatened, endangered, or their designated critical habitat. The Corps' requirements pursuant to
section 7 of the ESA would be fulfilled. However, the Corps must reconsider its obligations
under section 7 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 which 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 CAMA permit application states that there is no submerged aquatic vegetation(SAV) in the
area to be dredged. The type of material to be excavated includes mud, sand, and concrete
debris. The Service is pleased that no SAV would be impacted.
The Service seeks to ensure that structures built over wetlands are not harmful to vegetation.
The EI (Section 4.2) states that walkways would be built a minimum of three feet above the
ground surface. However, detailed drawings of Section C-C and the type `B"boardwalk show
the "top of the dock" at six feet above MSL. The Service requests that the Coordinated Federal
Position (CFP) stipulate that all structures over coastal wetlands be at an elevation that is
adequate to support the existing vegetation. This is consistent with Special Condition i of
Wilmington District's Regional General Permit 197800056 for piers and docks (effective date
March 16, 2005) which requires docks and piers extending over wetlands to be sufficiently
elevated(a minimum of three feet) above the wetland substrate to prevent total shading of
vegetation, substrate, or other elements of the aquatic environment. The specified minimum
elevation (three feet) should not be.assumed to provide the necessary sunlight to the vegetation
beneath the proposed walkways.
We also recommend that the Coordinated Federal Position (CFP) request that the project permit
prohibit the placement of any pipeline in vegetated wetlands and that the project have procedures

4
for detecting and repairing accidental spills as well as plans for removing any spoil accidentally
spilled into vegetated wetlands.
With prudent measures to protect manatees and due consideration of the other basic conservation
measures mentioned above,the Service does not oppose the issuance of a DA permit for the
work described in the permit application and EI. We appreciate 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 919-856-4520,
ext. 27 or by e-mail at<howard [e-mail]>. Please provide this office with a copy of the
coordinated federal position, if one is developed.

DATE: August 1,2005
SUBJECT: CAMA Dredge/Fill Permit Application for Friends of the NC Maritime Museum,
Carteret County,North Carolina.
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission(NCWRC)reviewed the
permit application with regard to impacts on fish and wildlife resources. The project site is located
adjacent Gallants Channel on SR 1170(W. Beaufort Road)in Beaufort,NC. 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 revitalize an existing developed 28-acre parcel of land in preparation
for the 2006 Tall Ships Exhibition.This includes the construction of a new 1015' boardwalk over coastal
marsh and public trust waters,432'of steel sheet pile breakwaters, bulkheaded and ripraped shoreline, a
150' by 50' area of maintenance dredging within an existing boat basin, a 10' by 200'temporary water
taxi dock, 240 space gravel parking lot, grading and revegetation of a"Great Lawn"area, 0.21 acres of
marsh creation, a concrete seat wall, and a vegetated swale stormwater treatment area. Existing
structures associated with the former"Old Fish Meal Plant"will be removed prior to construction. Town
Creek is classified SC by the Environmental Management Commission.
NCWRC does not object to the project as proposed. We appreciate efforts to protect remaining
onsite wetlands by placing those areas within a conservation easement as indicated on Sheet 5 of 9 in the
site plans. To increase the opportunity for success with the 0.21 acre wetland creation site, we request '
the applicant plant the graded area with species growing in the adjacent coastal marsh rather than waiting

Moffatt&Nichol (M&N) and the Friends of the NC Maritime Museum (FOM). This
information is in response to our conversation on 23 May 2005 in which you asked for
some minor revisions to the application forms and some clarification on the site plan.
Pursuant to this conversation you will find enclosed the following:
• Revised MP-2 form with all three dredging areas listed and the bulkhead listed
• MP-4 with the correct boardwalk length of 1,015 feet
• Pages i, 1,9,13 with the correct boardwalk length of 1,015 feet(replace current
pages in your report with these new pages)
• Page 14 with the description of the mitigation area removed(replace current page
with this new page)
• Color coded graphic
• New Figure X6A showing the rip rap,bulkhead, and breakwater(use X6A in
addition to your existing graphics package) This figure shows the shoreline
stabilization structures minus the boardwalks for clarity purposes.
I trust that these requested items will satisfy your initial review and that you will be able
to consider the application complete. Please call me if you have any questions or
comments. Thank you for your assistance on this project.

MEMORANDUM
To: David Nateman, Director
NC Maritime Museum
From: Peter B. Sandbeck
Re: Fishmeal plant and houses on Gallants-Charmel property, Beaufort, Carteret Count,
GSO4-2475
Dr. Crow ask that I respond to your September 16, 2004,email to him concerning the fishmeal plant and two
houses located on the Maritime Museum's Gallants Channel property.
Although the fishmeal plant is not listed in the Notional Register of Historic Places, it is our understanding
that it is one of only two remaining fishmeal plants>n Beaufort. Given the historical significance of these
plants to the development of the area;we recommend that the building be documented in accordance with
the enclosed Historic Structures Recordation Plan. We will be happy to provide our photographer to take and
process the slides and black and white photogaphs,if you will supply the remaining items of the recordation
plan.
Once the recordation is complete,we will file the materials in the statewide survey of historic buildings so
that there is a permanent record of what remains of the-plant. Following upon the recordation, the museum
may undertake whatever activities it deems necessary at tht site,including do rnolition of the plant and two
houses.
These comments are made in accord with G.S. 121-12(a) and Executive Order XVi, If you have questions
regarding them,please contact Renee Gledhill.Earley,environmental review coordinator, at 919/733-4763. In
aU future communication concerning this project,-pleage cite the above-referenced tracking number.

Dear Mr. Harbour:
The NC Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your application for State
approval for development of your property located off SR 1170, Beaufort. It was received on May 31, 2005,
and appears to be adequate for processing at this time. The projected deadline for making a decision is
August 15, 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 the May 31, 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,
Mark Hardeman
Coastal Management Representative
