PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to conduct privately funded underwater archaeological investigations near Beaufort Inlet. FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT: INTERSAL INC. - CARTERET COUNTY PAGE #2 --------------------------- 9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: Project Setting Intersal Inc. is a privately funded underwater archaeological company searching for the final resting places of two eighteenth century vessels believed to be lost in the area of Beaufort Inlet and Fort Macon State Park. Their recent magnetometer surveys and follow-up diving operations suggest a significant group of anomalies, potentially shipwreck material, in the surf zone off Fort Macon State Park. The overall area of interest comprises 3,040 feet of coastline some 1,000 feet west of the rock jetty from the MHW line out to a maximum of 1,000 feet offshore in approximately 15' of water. The southwest point of the area is marked by the latitude 34 41.45 and longitude 76 41.25, while the southeast point is marked by latitude 34 41.45 and longitude 76 40.75. The waters of the Atlantic Ocean are classified as SB and open to shellfishing. The area is typified by shifting sands and strong tidal currents. Project Description The applicant proposes to conduct "temporary" excavation operations in the shallows from 1,000' to 4,104' west of the rock jetty at Beaufort Inlet under NCDCR permits and a Federal Admiralty Arrest. Intersal Inc. proposes to use a jack-up barge owned and operated by Ameila Research and Recovery Company to act as the project's primary diving and excavation platform (hopefully during October). This barge can maneuver in as little as six feet of water and then hydraulically jack herself up on three legs to provide a stable platform. The barge has a 10-ton crane that directs a diver-controlled 36" diameter hydraulic excavator to create "temporary" craters in the sand over the magnetic anomalies. According to the applicant, when finer and/ or deeper work is archaeologically appropriate a water injection dredge may be used. The applicant states that the craters are "temporary" and that past experience has shown that the craters tend to fill in within a few days and that within 10 days at most, the bottom in the affected area appears unblemished. Regardless, the applicant has committed to fill in any noticeable craters before leaving the site. Anticipated Impacts The project area measures 1,000' X 3,040' or 3,040,000 ftz in size. The area of exploratory excavation should be substantially less than that amount. Intersal Inc. has stated that the maximum amount of material excavated for the entire project would be 10,000 yds3. This material would be deposited back on the ocean bottom in the same area, just away from the immediate area of anomalies. The course sand being disturbed and redistributed should cause minimal increases in turbidity but would cause some short-term impacts to the fish utilizing the area as well as to the benthic organisms. There may be some impact to the general public that could be utilizing the area at that time of year including perhaps surf fishermen, boat fishermen working the project area, surfers, etc., but this impact should be minimal.

Macon State Park. Intersal desires to conduct temporary excavation operations in the shallows from 1,000 feet to 4,040 feet west of the rock jetty at Bogue Point, The overall area of interest comprises 3,040 feet of coastline from the M1I'4tf line out to a maximum of 1,DW feet offshore, The southwest point of the requested area dies On decimal minutes)at lat. 34 41.45, long. 76 41.25. The southeast point is at lat. 34 41.45,long. 76 40.75. The requested area is outlined on the accompanying chart,along with the locations of the three primary anomalies; July, August, and Mariana. The accompanying magnetic contour charts give details of the potential targets. Intersal hopes to bring in the jack-up barge Polly L, owned and operated by Amelia Research and Recovery Company(www.arneliaresearch com,)to act as the project's prime diving and excavation platform, hopefully during the month of -October 2003, The Polly L can maneuver herself into as little as six feet of water,and then hydraulically jack herself up on her three legs so as to sit as a stable-platform above the oftentimes violent ocean below. The intent is to use Polly L's 10-ton crane to position a diver-controlled, 36"diameter hydraulic excavator to create temporary -craters in the sand over the centers of the anomalies on Intersal's magnetometer contour charts. previous experience suggests that cultural material may be uncovered at crater depths as shallow as 1 foot,rarely more than ten feet,and as deep as 15 feet, When finer and/or deeper work is archaeologically appropriate,a wafter injection dredge may be employed. All project operations will be in full compliance-with archaeological standards established in cooperation with the Underwater Archaeology Branch(UAB)of the NC Dept of Cultural Resources. Members of the UAB have been invited to oversee and/or participate in all project operations aboard Pally L Since 1999, in cooperation with the UAB,Intersal has been conducting similar excavation operations offshore Ft. Macon Mate park on dozens of anomalies at water depths ranging from eight to thirty feet, sometimes creating craters as deep as fourteen feet into the sand, In every case,all craters were seen to-quickly fill back in a few days after excavation and-within ten days at most-the bottom in the area soon appeared virtually unblemished. Apparently,the area's constantly shifting sands, strong tidal currents, and changeable weather allow for a prompt return to"as it was before," That is especially true in the surf,zone,exactly where the project intends to operate. All project excavations will be entirely temporary. All previous experience confirms that project operations will in no way cause any noticeable or permanent change in the configuration of the beach or the ocean bottom in the area. In any case, prior to suspension of operations and before the departure of Polly L,noticeable remaining craters, if any,will be bade filled; main iin rsoav rage rage i or j <Back �J1 3 4 Z Our Lift Boat Technologies _.

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 permit plans, which are a part of this permit. 2. 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 or injury to the authorized structure or work which may be caused from existing or future operations undertaken by the United States in the public interest. 3. 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. Use of the permitted activity must not interfere with the public's right to free navigation on all navigable waters of the United States. 4. It is possible that the authorized structure may be damaged by wavewash 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 will not hold the United States liable for any such damage. 5. The authorized structure and associated activity will not cause an unacceptable interference with navigation. 6. 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. 7. This Department of the Army permit does not obviate the need to obtain other Federal, State, or local authorizations required by law. 8. 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 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 or alteration. 9. The Permittee must install and maintain, at its expense, any signal lights and signals prescribed by the U.S. Coast Guard, through regulations or otherwise, on all authorized facilities constructed within navigable waters of the United States. 10. No portion of any structure will be located within 80 feet of the near bottom edge of the federally maintained channel. 11. This permit does not grant any property rights or exclusive privileges. 2 Should you have any questions or comments, please contact the undersigned at telephone (910) 251-4930.

Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC's) impacted by the proposal include Ocean Hazard(OH),Estuarine Waters (EW) and Public Trust(PT) Areas. Waters at the project site are classified as SB and are open to the harvesting of shellfish. The area is not a Primary Nursery Area. The AEC's in the proposed area are classified as Conservation. I have reviewed this proposal for consistency with the 1993 Town of Atlantic Beach Land Use Plan (LUP), as amended May 30, 1997 and offer the following comments. In general, the Atlantic Beach LUP allows development in Conservation classified AECs, as well as public trust areas, which are consistent with the State's minimum use standards. The Town of Atlantic Beach contains some local policies which exceed 7H guidelines. However, none of these more restrictive local standards appear to be applicable to this project. It is important to note, however,that the Atlantic Beach LUP states that projects in public trust areas shall not directly or indirectly block or impair navigational channels. Provided all local, state and federal requirements can be met, this project appears to be consistent with the 1997 (amended)Town of Atlantic Beach Land Use Plan. Cc: Charles Jones Ted Tyndall A7iA.

Carteret County Dear Mr. Masters: The Wilmington Regional Office received a copy of the CAMA Major Permit Application for temporary excavations on August 7, 2003. 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 (910) 395-3900.
