Field Investigation Report: Town of Beaufort/Mr. Haywood Weeks Page 2 --------------------------- 9.NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The applicant is the Town of Beaufort, through their lessee of the town docks, Mr. Haywood Weeks. Mr. Weeks proposes to replace fixed docks with floating, requiring an expansion of the incorporated open water area over that currently incorporated. The site is the Beaufort waterfront, within the existing public marina located in Taylor's Creek. Currently there are 81 slips provided to the public within this marina, along a stretch of leased shoreline of approximately 1350 linear feet. The middle three docks, which are uniform in design, constitute the subject of this application. Taylor's Creek is in excess of 800' across at the project location. The Town of Beaufort Land Use Plan classifies Taylor's Creek as Conservation, by virtue of the fact that it lies within a CAMA Area of Environmental Concern. The waters carry a Water Quality Classification of SC, are closed to the taking of shellfish for consumption, and are not designated as Primary Nursery Area. The area is serviced by municipal water and sewer, and provides a pumpout station for boaters. Currently, this portion of the marina incorporates approximately 37,100 square feet of Public Trust Area, and provides 30 slips. The request is to change the middle three docks from fixed to floating. This will require the removal of the 24 mooring pilings and the 3 docks from a point approximately 24' offshore to the end. A floating pier will be replaced for each fixed, 70' x 6'. This is approximately 4' longer than the existing. Two finger piers of 50' x 4' will be constructed adjacent to the bulkhead at each dock.intersection, and two more 40' waterward of those, for a total of 12 finger piers. T- heads will be constructed at the waterward ends of the floating piers, 100' x 5'8" in size. At this point, Taylor's Creek is 16' deep. There will be 12 new mooring pilings located adjacent to the 36 remaining, to define the same 30 slips. The overall project will extend approximately 10' further into the creek than the existing, for an overall length of 100'. The submitted plat indicates that the proposed docks will terminate from 210' to 305' from the federal channel within the project location. However, Taylor's Creek has a federal harbor/pierhead line that governs the location of docking facilities in this area. The harbor line is depicted on the plats, and is located approximately 62' from the bulkhead. The existing docks extend beyond this line approximately 28', and the proposed will encroach approximately 38' beyond the line. The location of the docks is well within the riparian corridors (> 175') for this stretch of shoreline. 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The project as proposed will incorporate approximately 42,400 sf, or 5300 more than the existing 37,100 sf. The area shaded by decking will approximate 2562 sf. Total number of mooring slips will remain unchanged at 30, for the same types and sizes of vessels. The encroachment into the federal harbor line will be increased by 10'. Turbidity impacts will be limited to pile driving. T. Barrett November 1, 2002 Morehead City Form DCM-W-1 0(� V 2 1 2002 APPLICATION (To be completed by all applicants) b.

The unusually swift current and strong beam winds at this location cause continual breaking of free standing pilings. Aside from being very expensive to replace these pilings when they break, it also removes slips from the use of the general public visiting Beaufort by boat. Often this removal of slips lasts for lengthy periods of time, since it requires a large commercial barge with a large crane and trained crew to replace them, and such a barge is not always available. These pilings are 50 feet long and over a foot in diameter and can not be manhandled without a large barge and crane. Floating docks would help alleviate the problem. Additionally, floating docks themselves act as a mitigating factor on the current and are much safer for boaters to use with our tidal range of 3 '/2 to 5 feet. We have 30 existing fixed slips that we would like to replace with 30 floating slips. Although there will be no increase in the number of slips, the width of the slips need to be increased to accommodate the increased widths of boats now visiting these docks since their original construction. Additionally, some of the fixed finger piers are only 1 I/2 feet wide at points, and floating finger piers cannot be stable or safe at these widths and must be increased significantly. Although the body of water at this location is 850 feet wide and the nearest edge of the channel at this location is over 300 feet away, we are proposing to keep these floating docks within the 100 foot distance allowed by CAMA regulations. / TO CEDAR C 6 2002 AIRPORT ' EA RI BEAUFORT—MOREHtAD PA CITY AIRPORT, ` AVE BOA RAMP TO 1 G� DPP OQ..

The applicant proposes to replace fixed docks with floating docks, requiring an expansion of the incorporated open water area at the site. Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC's) impacted by the proposal are Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Waters. The Waters at the project site are classified as SC and are not open to the harvesting of shellfish. The area is not a Primary Nursery Area. I have reviewed this proposal for consistency with the 1996 Town of Beaufort Land Use Plan and offer the following comments. The general area of the project is classified Developed, while the AECs impacted by the work are classified as Conservation. In general, the Town of Beaufort allows development in Conservation classified AECs which is consistent with the State's minimum use standards. The Town of Beaufort Land Use Plan contains some local policies which exceed 7H guidelines including those for Marina and Floating Home Development. However, none of these more restrictive local standards appear to be applicable to this project. Provided all local, state and federal requirements can be met, this project appears to be consistent with the 1996 Town of Beaufort Land Use Plan.

Box 1890 Wilmington,North Carolina 28402-1890 Subject: Action ID #200300141,Town of Beaufort, Carteret County,NC Dear Mr. Wicker: This letter provides the comments of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) on the subject application for a Department of the Army(DA)permit. The applicant,theme 1eaufort,proposes to replace fixed docks with floating docks on the town waterfront. The work would require the removal of 24 mooring pilings and three docks from a point approximately 24 feet offshore of the existing dock. T-head docks would be construction at the waterward ends of the floating piers, 100 feet by five feet-8 inches, in water approximately 16 feet deep. Twelve new mooring pilings would be installed. There would be no increase in the number of boat slips (30). The overall project would extend approximately ten feet farther into Taylor's Creek. These comments are submitted in accordance with the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act(48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d) and section 7 of the Endangered Species Act(ESA) of 1973, as amended(16 U.S.C. 1531-1543). They 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) as they relate to protection of fish and wildlife resources. The Service recognizes the relatively minor impacts that the proposed work would have on fish and wildlife habitat in the project area. The permit application notes that the overall project would incorporate approximately one acre of open water, or 5,300 square feet more than the existing pier facility. Pile driving would increase turbidity during construction. 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(NCHNP) database on the reported occurrence of these species in the project area. The NCNHP database shows that the federally endangered West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus) has been reported in the waters near the Beaufort waterfront. Schwartz (1995)reports several documented occurrences of the manatee in the coastal waters of Carteret County. Manatees are seasonal transients in North Carolina,primarily from June through October. They are aquatic mammals which may use freshwater,brackish, or marine habitats. The species can move freely between salinity extremes. The species may be found in shallow coastal waters,bays, lagoons, estuaries,rivers, and inland lakes. Manatees are commonly found in water three to seven feet deep. Manatees spend much of their time underwater or partly submerged, and this behavior often makes the species difficult to detect. These mobile animals may not inhabit a given area for extended periods, and manatees may move into a given project site where the species has never been reported previously. Therefore,the areas that may contain manatees cannot be determined by visual surveys that are satisfactory for less mobile,year-round species. To adequately protect this endangered species,reasonable precautions must be implemented in areas that could be used by manatees during the warmer months of June through October. To address the issue of construction activities in water that could be used by the manatee, the Service developed guidelines, entitled"Precautions for General Construction in Areas Which May Be Used by the West Indian Manatee in North Carolina," for activities that do not include the use of explosives. A copy of these guidelines (updated in June 2002)is attached. The guidelines are applicable for work only during the months of June through October. 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. We believe that the inclusion of these precautions as a permit condition would result in a project that is not likely to adversely affect the manatee. As an alternative to these guidelines, the Corps may require that all work be conducted during the period from November 1 to May 31. With the inclusion of these guidelines or seasonal work restrictions,we believe that the Corps' requirements under Section 7(a)(2) of the ESA would be satisfied. We remind you that obligations under Section 7 consultation must be reconsidered if. (1)new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered; (2)this action is subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review; or, (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the identified action. With the inclusion of the Service's guidelines or seasonal work restrictions as permit conditions, we support the issuance of a DA for this project. The Service appreciates the opportunity to comment on this permit application. Please advise us of any action taken by the 2 Wilmington Corps District. If you have questions regarding these comments, please contact Howard Hall at 919-856-4520 (Ext. 27) or by e-mail at howard ha11&1fws.gov. Sincerely, Garland B.

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 five acres 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 (910) 395-3900.

BARRETT D"W OF COASTAL MANAGE RALEIGH AGENT SUBJECT: COMMENTS & RECOMMENDATIONS - CAMA MAJOR PERMIT — TpWN OF BEAUFORT / HAYWOOD WEEKS, CARTERET COUNTY DATE: NOVEMBER 01, 2002 The following are my comments and recommendations regarding the aforementioned proposal: The extension of the Beaufort docks 10'waterward from their present location in order to increase the safety of the structure, and convert from fixed to floating design, appears to present no hazard to navigation. However, extending waterward does increase the facility's encroachment into the federal setback. According to the applicant, conversations with the US Army Corps of Engineers have been encouraging, and he is of the impression that the allowance for this proposal will be made. Assuming that the COE waives a further intrusion into the harbor line setback for the proposed development, I would find that the proposal meets with all other aspects of the CAMA, and would recommend the issuance of a permit contingent upon the following conditions: This permit authorizes only the docks, piers, and other structures and uses located in or over the water that are expressly and specifically set forth in the permit application. No other structure, whether floating or stationary, may become a permanent part of this marina/docking facility without permit modification. No non-water dependent uses of structures may be conducted on, in or over public trust waters without permit modification. 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. The authorized structure and associated activity must not cause an unacceptable interference with navigation. 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 that may be caused from existing or future operations undertaken by the United States rtt the public interest.

Ross Jr., Secretary Town of Beaufort November 01, 2002 C/o Mr. Haywood Weeks 500 Front Street Beaufort, NC 28516 Dear Mr. Weeks: The NC Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your application for State approval for development of Town of Beaufort property located at 500 Front Street in Beaufort. It was received completed on October 30, 2002, and appears to be adequate for processing at this time. The projected deadline for making a decision is January 12, 2003. 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. NCGS 113A-119(b) requires that Notice of an application be posted at the location of the proposed development. Enclosed you will find a "Notice of Permit Filing" postcard which must be posted at the property of your proposed development. You should post this notice at a conspicuous point along your property where it can be observed from a public road. Some examples would be: Nailing the notice card to a telephone pole or tree along the road right-of-way fronting your property, or at a point along the road right-of-way where a private road would lead one into your property. Failure to post this notice could result in an incomplete application. An onsite inspection will be made, and if additional information is required, you will be contacted by the appropriate State or Federal agency. Please contact me if you have any questions and notify me in writing if you wish to receive a copy of my field report and/or comments from reviewing agencies. Sincerely, �), T.
