9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
Project Setting
The applicant owns a 685-acre tract of diked waterfowl impoundments located off of Hwy 70 East at 201 Black
Duck Rd., in the Community of Davis, Carteret County, in between Smyrna and Oyster Creeks. Davis is located in the
eastern section of Carteret County. Highway 70 East borders the property to the south, Smyrna Creek is to the west,
Oyster Creek is to the east, and Open Grounds Farm property lies to the north.
The site consists of (4) diked impoundments located between Smyrna Creek and Oyster Creek. The
approximate elevation of the dikes and any high ground is 3' above MHW. High ground plants on site include Pines,
Yaupon and Wax Myrtles. Most of the impoundments are open water areas with fringes of Coastal Marsh,mostly Black
Needlerush, and Salt Hay. The dikes were built in the 1960's and have since stabilized with natural vegetation. The
soils range from a sandy loam to Hobuken muck. The water depths in the impoundments average-2' -3'. There are
approximately 9 — 10 miles of dikes around the four impoundments. The only existing development within the
impoundments is one flashboard riser between impoundments #1 and 42 that is in need of replacement. The
flashboard risers are used to control water levels between the impoundments. By controlling the water levels, the
applicant states that they will be better able to manage the habitat, such as the growth of SAV's, salinity, etc.,for the
benefit of waterfowl and shorebirds.
Smyrna Creek and Oyster Creek are both classified as primary nursery areas by the Division of Marine
Fisheries. Smyrna Creek is classified SA by the Division of Water Quality, Oyster Creek is Classified SA — ORW.
Smyrna Creek is closed to shellfishing, Oyster Creek is open. The site is unzoned by local government, and is
classified as Rural by the Carteret County Land Use Plan, with all AEC's being classified as Conservation.
Project Description
The proposal calls for excavation within the impoundments to raise the elevation on two sections of the dike
that are low. The low sections are located on the southwestern end of impoundment 41 dike and on the western end of
impoundment#2 dike. The current elevations of these dikes are+1'above MHW and the proposed finished grades are
to be+3'above MHW.The excavated area in the open water in impoundment#1 would be 16'x 1552'x 2'.The bottom
substrate is sandy , approximately 1840cy, and would be placed on the dike to dry. The excavated material from
impoundment#2 would come from an area 12' 6"x 310'x 2'and is also sandy and would placed on the existing dike.
Erosion control measures such as properly installed silt fences along the toe of the spoils would have to be in place
prior to excavation to prevent run-off. The fill area on impoundment # 1 dike is 14'x 1500'. There is an area of Dike#1
(approximately 175 linear feet)that is active high Coastal Wetlands that are proposed to be filled. This was delineated
on a survey that was signed by the USACE dated July 18, 2005. The fill area on impoundment#2 dike is 14' x 350'.
There are fringe areas of Coastal Wetlands along sections of Dike#2 that would need to be flagged before filling,so as
to be avoided. Some gravel has been placed on top of the dike in this area to prevent breaching of the dike. The
areas that would be flagged may bring the dike disposal width below 14' to approximately 10'.
Applicant states that bringing the two dikes up to grade with the rest of the dikes is necessary to control the
water levels and quality within the impoundments. A hydraulic excavator on mats would be used to excavate the
material from the impoundments and place said material on the dikes to dry. Final grading would be done after the
excavated material has dried.
A 75' section of dike along the southern side of impoundment #1 is eroding into Smyrna Creek. Applicant

proposes to place stone rip—rap along this non-wetland escarpment. The average distance waterward of the MHW
line is 3', with a maximum of 6'. Approximately 20cy of stone would be needed to stabilize the dike. Filter cloth would
be placed beneath the rip— rap to prevent further erosion.
Applicant proposes to add(4)new flashboard risers and replace(1)existing riser. The riser pipes would be 36"
in diameter and the flashboard section of the riser would be 5' high. The culverts are corrugated aluminum pipe with
the flashboard located on the impoundment side of the pipe. An excavator would cut the trenches between the
impoundments necessary to install the culverts and risers. As soon as the pipes are installed,the trenches would be
filled with the excavated material and compacted. Exposed material would be seeded and erosion control measures
such silt fencing would be in place before placing of the fill material. The outlet ends of the riser pipes would extend to
the edge of either Smyrna Creek or Oyster Creek. The riser end of the pipe will require the excavation of approximately
8sf of bottom below MHW to seat the pipe at the correct elevation. The area between the toe of the dike and the edge
of the creek is generally wetlands 5'—6' in width. Approximately 90sf of this wetland area(Black Needlerush)would be
filled with the installation of the pipes.
The culverts and flashboard risers are to provide a means to circulate water between the impoundments and
Smyrna Creek to the southwest side and the impoundments and Oyster Creek to the northeast side.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The impacts of the excavation are 28,707 sf of open water area. Turbidity can be expected as long as digging
is taking place. The spoil area for the excavated material is 25,900sf. Due to the narrow corridor of the dike for the
placement of spoils, extra care would have to be given to erosion control measures. There would be 2,450sf of Coastal
Wetlands (Distichlis s ip cata, Spartinapatens)filled on Dike 91.
The shoreline stabilization area to be disturbed with rip — rap would be an area 75' x 3' (225sf) of shallow
bottom habitat. It would take approximately 20cy of stone to stabilize the area. There should be no high ground
disturbance and minimal turbidity.
The high ground disturbance from the culvert and riser installation would be approximately 30cy in each
installation(150cy total). A total of 90sf of wetlands would be filledby the installation for the ends of the pipes in Smyrna
and Oyster Creeks. The area impacted by the excavation for the riser below MHW would be 40sf. Some turbidity could
be expected during installation.

Description and Planned Use of Proposed Project Morehead City DCM
Project Description
The project consists of the restoration of four waterfowl and shorebird
impoundments near the community of Davis, North Carolina. Davis is located in
the eastern section of Carteret County (see vicinity maps, Exhibits 1 and 2
attached). The impoundments were created in the 1960's by building a series of
earthen dikes. Water control structures in the form of flashboard risers were
incorporated in the dikes. Adjustment of the riser boards provides a means of
controlling the water level in the impoundments.
Project Objectives
The proposed project will improve the habitat for wildlife by increasing the ability
to manage the seasonal water level and the water circulation within the
impoundments. This ability will enhance the growth of submerged aquatic
vegetation and increase the diversity and health of the wetland plant community.
The proposed project includes two types of activity:
There are some relatively short sections on two of the dikes that are low in
elevation. The top elevation of these sections needs to be raised by
"topping"the dike with material pulled from the inside of the
impoundment. All the fill material will be placed within the existing
footprint of the dikes. The low sections are located on the southwestern

dike. Form DCM-MP-2, Attachment 2, is a typical cross section of the
existing dike and the proposed fill topping. Form DCM-MP-2,
Attachments 3 and 4, are plan and side elevation views of the proposed fill
sections. The lowest points on the dikes are currently one to one-and-a-
half feet above mean high water. The dike elevation after topping would
be approximately three feet above mean high water. One short section
(approximately 75 feet) along the southern side of the #1 impoundment
dike is eroding into Smyrna Creek. Placing stone riprap along this section
is proposed. Form DCM-MP-2, Attachment 5, shows the location of the
eroded section.
Adding four new aluminum flashboard risers and replacing one existing
riser are proposed. The riser pipes would have a 36" diameter. The
flashboard section of the riser would be approximately five feet high.
Form DCM-MP-5, Attachment 2, shows the location of the five risers.

Form DCM-MP-5, Attachments 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, are plan and cross
section views of the risers.
Methods of Construction
A hydraulic excavator will be used to pull the fill material from the impoundment
side of the dike. The fill material will need to settle and dry out for a period of
time. Final shaping of the topped section will take place once the material has
sufficiently dried and settled. A silt fence will be erected as required along the
outside edge of the impoundment to prevent silt runoff into Smyrna Creek.
Fertilizer and lime will be applied if needed. The topped section will be seeded
with seed recommended for the coastal environment.
An excavator or backhoe will be used to cut the trench needed to install the risers.
The section for the riser will be excavated, the riser will be put in place, and the
section will be immediately backfilled and compacted. Exposed earth will be
seeded as required to prevent erosion.

Mr. John L Humber
756 Christopher Road
Chapel Hill, N.C. 27514
Dear Mr. Humber:
This letter is a follow-up to our phone conversation the last week in March. As
1, stated we recently purchased a 685 acre tract that adjoins your property
along Smyrna Creek to the west. This was the old Davis Waterfowl
Impoundment property that has been neglected for the past 20 years leaving it
in need of significant renovations. In order to complete the site renovations,
we will be applying for a permit from the Division of Coastal Management.
The application process requires that we contact all adjoining riparian
landowners and provide a copy of the application and plats by certified mail,
the signed receipt of which is proof this has been done. We must also advise
you that you have 30 days to submit comments on the proposed project to the
Division of Coastal Management.
Our plans are to top (or build-up) approximately 1,500 feet of levee by
excavating material from inside the Impoundment. The area toped will remain
within the footprint of the existing levee and will require about one week to
complete. All required erosion control methods and permits required are to be
adhered to. This is the commonly prescribed method of achieving the added
levee elevation necessary for proper water control. This method has been
used to repair several miles of levee on Impoundments owned and managed by
the North Carolina Wildlife Commission within the past three years. Also,
there is a place approximately seventy to eighty feet in length where wave
action appears to be eroding the levee along Smyrna Creek. We plan to place
fabric along this area and cover with riprap.
The Impoundments are currently operating with seven flashboard risers.
Biologist have recommended we replace one and install an additional five
flashboard risers to increase water circulation and the ability to control water
levels. This is to aid in the ability to grow desirable plant species. You will see
an attached site map with the proposed locations of the proposed water control
structures.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Doug Huggett
FROM: Mark Hardeman
RE: Widgeon Creek Hunt Club Major Permit—Davis,NC
Date: 9/23/2005
The following are my comments and recommendations for the above referenced
proposal. The proposal is for the restoration and improvements of four waterfowl
impoundments. The improvements consist of raising the grade on two of the
impoundment dikes to the elevation of the surrounding dikes. Excavating the open water
area of the impoundments and depositing the material on the dikes would accomplish
this. This would be consistent with 15A NCAC .0208 (b)(1)(E)(F)(J). There is a 75'
area of shoreline to be stabilized with riprap. This is consistent with 15A NCAC .0208
rules governing shoreline stabilization. Flashboard risers(5)would be installed between
the impoundments to control water levels. A small amount of wetlands would be
impacted during construction; however, the overriding public benefits of wildlife habitat
would negate this loss. Therefore, I recommend the project be authorized as proposed,
contingent upon the following conditions:
1)Prior to excavation,erosion control measures such as properly installed silt fencing
must be in place before digging begins.
2)Matting must be used before placing heavy equipment on the dikes.
3)No vegetated wetlands/marsh grass will be excavated or filled.
4)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).
5)The bulkhead/riprap will not extend waterward more than 5 feet from the mean
high/normal water level at any point along its alignment at the time of construction.
6)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.

Subject: Action ID#200501090; Widgeon Creek Hunt Club, LLC, Davis, 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 August 9,2005. The applicant,Widgeon Creek Hunt Club,LLC,has applied for a
Department of the Army(DA)permit to restore and improve four waterfowl impoundments. 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
(LAMA). These comments are submitted in accordance with the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act
(FWCA)(48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d). Comments related to the FWCA are to be used
in your determination of compliance with 404(b)(1)guidelines (40 CFR 230) and in your public interest
review(33 CFR 320.4)in relation to the protection of fish and wildlife resources. Additional comments
are provided regarding the District Engineer's determination of project impacts pursuant to section 7 of
the Endangered Species Act(ESA) of 1973,as amended(16 U.S.C. 1531-1543).
Project Area, Proposed Activities, and Anticipated Impacts
The project area,proposed work, and anticipated impacts area are discussed in the Field Investigation
Report(FIR),dated,July 29,2005, of the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management(NCDCM).
The project area is a 685-acre tract of diked waterfowl impoundments near the community of Davis. The
four water fowl impoundments are surrounded by dikes extending to approximately three feet above mean
high water(MHW). The existing flashboard risers are used to control water levels between the
impoundments and serve to manage the habitat such as the growth of submerged aquatic vegetation,
salinity,and other factors for the benefit of waterfowl and shorebirds.
The applicant proposes to raise the grade on two impoundment dikes to the elevation of the other
surrounding dikes by excavating the bottom of the impoundments. Rip-rap would be installed along a 75-
foot section of one impoundment. Five flashboard risers would be installed to control water levels
between the four impoundments.
The FIR states that the proposed work would dredge 90 square feet(ft2)of vegetated wetlands.
Additional dredging of shallow bottoms would impact over 28,700 ft2. Approximately 225 ft2 of shallow
bottoms would be filled by rip-rap.

Federally Protected Species
The Service has reviewed available information on federally-threatened or endangered species known to
occur in Carteret County. We have also reviewed information from the North Carolina Natural Heritage
Program(NCNHP)database which contains excellent data on the special status species,both federal and
state. This database can be accessed by topographic quadrangle(quad)of the U. S. Geological Survey
(USGS). Data from USGS quads provide the most project-specific information on species which should
be considered in permitting this project. The project area is located in the Davis quad. Occurrence data
of special.status species within these quads can be obtained on the internet at<
hqp://www.ncnhp.org/Pages/heritagedata.html>.
Our review indicates that no federally listed species under Service jurisdiction are likely to occur in the
project area. Therefore,the Service would concur with a determination by the District Engineer that the
action is not likely to adversely affect species designated as threatened, endangered, or their designated
critical habitat. The Corps' requirements of section 7 of the Endangered Species Act would be fulfilled.
However,the Corps must reconsider its obligations under section 7 of the ESA 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
While the Service seeks to prevent the loss of any wetland area,the impact of the proposed work would
be a net gain for fish and wildlife resources. Overall, the Service does not believe the activities described
in the PN and FIR would have significant adverse and/or irreversible effects on fish and wildlife
resources. Therefore,the Service has no objection, from the standpoint of fish and wildlife under our
jurisdiction,to the issuance of a DA permit for the proposed activities.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to comment on this PN. If you have questions regarding these
comments or wish to discuss the development of the coordinated federal position,please contact Howard
Hall at 919-856-4520,ext. 27 or by e-mail at<[e-mail]>. Please provide this office with a
copy of the coordinated federal position, if one is developed.

Dear Mr. Ramsay:
The Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality received a copy of the CAMA
Major Permit Application for impoundment dike improvements on August 3, 2005. Staff review
of the plans and specifications has determined that the development activities proposed at this
time will not pose a threat to surface water quality from stormwater runoff. The Director has
determined that projects that are reviewed and approved by the Division as not posing a water
quality threat from stormwater runoff should not be subject to the stormwater management
permitting requirements of 15A NCAC 2H.1000. By copy of this letter, we are informing you
that your project will not require a stormwater management permit.
If the subject project disturbs one acre or more and has a point source discharge of stormwater
runoff, then it is also subject to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
stormwater discharge requirements. You are required to have an NPDES permit for
stormwater discharge from projects meeting these criteria. The stormwater rules require the
Division to permit the common plan of development, therefore, any future development on the
property, regardless of whether a CAMA Major permit is also required, will require a
Stormwater Management Permit application and permit issuance from the Division of Water
Quality prior to any construction.
If you have any questions or need additional information concerning this matter please contact
Ms. Linda Lewis at [phone].

Re: CAMA Dredge/Fill Permit Application for Widgeon Creek Hunt Club,Carteret
County,North Carolina.
The NC Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF) has reviewed the application and is
concerned about the placement of an additional flashboard riser along the dike adjacent to
Smyrna Creek for impoundment #2 in addition to the replacement of an existing flashboard
riser in the dike adjacent to Smyrna Creek for impoundment #1. Smyrna. Creek is a very
productive Primary Nursery Area and changes in the salinity, oxygen levels, and temperatures
resulting from drainage from these impoundments into the creek would be detrimental to
juvenile finfish, blue crabs and shrimp that utilize this area. The NCDMF recommends that
the flashboard riser for impoundment #2 be placed in the southern most dike in order to
minimize impacts from changes in salinity, oxygen and temperature to Smyrna Creek. The
NCDMF also recommends that any water exchange through the flashboard riser in
impoundment#1 only occur during the winter months (October through February) in order to
minimize impacts to juvenile shrimp,crabs and finfish. The NCDMF is also concerned about
the ability of the dikes adjacent to Smyrna Creek to support the weight of the hydraulic
excavator during excavation of material adjacent to the dikes resulting in failure of the dikes
adjacent to Smyrna Creek. The dredge moratorium from April I"through July 31 should be
observed for all in water construction.

FROM: Maria Tripp,Northeast Coastal Region Coordinator ,.p�,
Habitat Conservation Section
DATE: August 22, 2005
SUBJECT: CAMA Dredge/Fill Permit Application for Widgeon Creek Hunt Club,LLC,
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 at 201
Black Duck Pond adjacent to Oyster and Smyrna Creeks near Davis,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 restore and improve four existing waterfowl impoundments.
Improvements include raising the grade of two of the impoundment dikes to the elevation of the
surrounding dikes by excavating the impoundment bottom and depositing the dredged material on top of
the lower dikes, replace one existing and install four new flashboard risers,and reinforce a 75' section of
dike adjacent to Smyrna Creek with riprap placed along the non-wetland escarpment. Smyrna Creek is
classified SA by the Environmental Management Commission, is designated a primary nursery area
(PNA), and is closed to shellfish harvesting. Oyster Creek is classified SA-ORW, is designated a PNA,
and is open to shellfish harvesting.
NCWRC does not object to the project as proposed.However,we are concerned with the possible
impacts Smyrna and Oyster creeks may receive during construction.We strongly recommend all
sedimentation and erosion control measures are implemented prior to any construction and monitored
regularly to ensure effectiveness. This is especially important due to the vicinity of the designated PNAs
within Smyrna.and Oyster creeks. Sedimentation and elevated turbidity levels within these areas can
adversely impact juvenile aquatic resources. To minimize these impacts,NCWRC endorses any
moratorium the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries(NCDMF)may request as a permit condition
for work done within the waters of either creek.
We appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on this permit application. If you need
further assistance or additional information,please contact me at(252)948-3916.

Major Permits Processing Coordinator
FROM: Shannon Jenkins
Shellfish Sanitation and Recreational Water Quality Section
SUBJECT: Widgeon Creek Hunt Club LLC Waterfowl Impoundments
The four waterfowl impoundments are located between Smyrna Creek and
Oyster Creek in Carteret County. In the recent past, Oyster Creek was re-
classified from Conditionally Approved-Closed to Conditionally Approved-Open
for shellfish harvest. Smyrna Creek is currently classified as Prohibited.
The applicant wishes to install culverts with flashboard risers to increase
circulation between the impoundments and the two creeks. The concern is that
fecal coliform bacteria from wildlife utilizing the impoundments may negatively
affect the Conditionally Approved-Open status of Oyster Creek. Any flow from the
impoundments to Oyster Creek may cause additional temporary closures or
possibly a decrease in classification to Conditionally Approved-Closed or
Prohibited.
Two new culverts are proposed to connect to Oyster Creek. Having all the
culverts and flashboard risers connect to Smyrna Creek instead of Oyster Creek
may decrease potential fecal coliform impacts due to the Prohibited status of
Smyrna Creek.
If the project is approved as proposed, our office requests that we be notified
before water is to be discharged into Oyster Creek from the impoundments. The
following condition would be requested:
When waters from the impoundments are to flow into Oyster Creek, a
minimum of 24 hours notice be given to Shellfish Sanitation & Recreational
Water Quality Section.

Dear Mr. Ramsey:
The NC Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your application for State
approval for development of your property located 201 Black Duck Road, Davis, Carteret County. It was
received on July 28, 2005, and appears to be adequate for processing at this time. The projected deadline
for making a decision is October 11, 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 July 28, 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
