9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The applicants are requesting a Major Modification to their existing State Permit#68-03. The previously
permitted project authorized the upland development of an 18-lot subdivision on the tract. This .
application proposes to add community docking facilities as an amenity for the subdivision. To comply
with the requirements of the State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA), an environmental document was
prepared for the project and reviewed through the State Clearinghouse. A Finding of No Significant
Impact(FONSI)was issued on January 8, 2004, following the review process. This application reflects
the preferred alternative of the Environmental Assessment(EA).
The Water's Edge at Deerfield Subdivision is located at the southern end of Great Oak Drive, off US
Hwy. 17, in Hampstead, in Pender County. The 19.95-acre property is located on the north side of Mill
Creek, at its confluence with the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway(AIWW). The subdivision includes
eighteen(18) single-family residential lots oriented adjacent to the approximately 2,900 linear feet of
shoreline along Mill Creek and the AIWW. The majority of the tract has been cleared of vegetation for
the ongoing development of the subdivision roads and utilities. The remaining vegetated periphery
along Mill Creek consists primarily of American Holly(Ilex opaca), Live Oak(Quercus virginiana),
Sweet Bay(Magnolia virginiana), Hickory(Carya sp.), Yaupon(Ilex vomitoria), Japanese Honeysuckle
(Lonicera japonica), Cat-tails (Typha, sp) and Giant Cane (Arundinaria gigantea). Along the shoreline,
the transition between uplands and marsh exhibits Grounsel-bush(Baccharus halimifolia), Marsh-elder
(Iva frutescens), Wax Myrtle (Myrica cerifera) and Sea Oxeye (Borrichia frutescens). High coastal
marsh vegetation, including, Black Needle Rush(Juncus roemarianus), Sea Lavender(Limonium, sp.),
Spike Grass (Disticlus spicata)and Salt Meadow Grass (Spartina patens) intermix on the upper side of
the Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina alterniora) coastal wetland border that parallels the shoreline.
In the project area,the NC Division of Water Quality classifies the waters of the AIWW/Topsail Sound,
as SA-ORW, and the waters of Mill Creek as SA. The NC Division of Marine Fisheries has designated
the waters of Mill Creek as a Primary Nursery Area(PNA). The waters of Mill Creek are CLOSED to
harvest of shellfish. The adjacent waters of the AIWW/Topsail Sound on the east side of the project are
not designated as Primary Nursery Area(PNA), and they are OPEN to shellfishing.
The applicants propose to construct an 18-slip community marina consisting of two piers, each with two
docking areas. The first 9-slip pier(Dock Facility"A") would be located adjacent to the AIWW/Topsail
Sound portion of the property. The pier would extend into Topsail Sound from an easement(25` wide),
between Lot 2 and Lot 3. At approximately 150 feet into the marsh, the pier walkway would diverge
from a T-intersection to access the two docking areas. The total length of the three walkway sections
would be 595 feet. The walkway width would be 6 feet. The northern docking area would consist of a T-
head floating dock(90' long X 6' wide), with three (3)perpendicular finger piers (24' long X 3' wide)
installed to create five (5)boat slips. The southern docking area would consist of a T-head floating dock
(40' long X 6' wide), with two-(2)perpendicular finger piers (24' long X 3' wide) installed to create four
(4)boat slips. At both docking areas,there would be a covered deck(16' X 16') constructed adjacent to
the pier walkway, landward of the ramps that access the docks. Boatlifts (14' X 14') would be installed
in each of the nine (9) boat slips as requested by the subsequent property owners. All pier and docking
structures would be located 80 feet from the adjacent federal channel. It should be noted that the AIWW
channel makes a turns between the two docking areas and that each floating dock is oriented parallel to
their respective tangent of the waterway channel. (Elevations shown on the project drawings are relative
i

to National Geodetic Vertical Datum-1929 (NGVD'29). To convert these elevations to water depths at
low water, you must add+0.SO to the number.) Water depths in the northern docking area would be
-1.41 feet to—2.86 feet at low water, and depths in the southern docking area would be -3.42 feet to
—3.75 feet at low water. The second 9-slip docking area(Dock Facility"B")would be located on Mill
Creek. The pier would be accessed from Water's Edge Drive by a wooden walkway constructed along a
pedestrian easement(20' wide),between Lots 17 and 18. The pier(265' long X 6"wide) would extend
to the southern docking area which would consist of a T-head floating dock(120' long X 6' wide),
creating four(4)parallel boat slips. A second leg of pier walkway would branch off to access the
northern docking area. The total length of this walkway section would be 345 feet. The walkway width
would be 6 feet. The northern docking area would consist of a L-head floating dock(150' long X 6'
wide)to create five(5)parallel boat slips. Again at both docking areas,there would be a covered deck
(16' X 16') constructed adjacent to the pier walkway, landward of the ramps that access the floating
docks. Water depths in the northern docking area of Dock Facility`B"would be -1.49 feet to—2.42 feet
at low water, and depths in the southern docking area would be -2.71 feet to—2.26 feet at low water.No
boatlifts or other mooring structures would be allowed waterward of the floating docks in Dock Facility
"B". The combined docking facilities of the two (2)piers would create an 18—slip community marina
for the subdivision. The applicant stated in the Environmental Assessment(EA)that the restrictive
covenant of the subdivision would prohibit the construction of additional piers from individual lots, as
well as, limit boats to a maximum length of 21 feet, with no cabins or heads (marine sanitation devices).
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The construction of the proposed 18-slip marina would result in the incorporation of 6,064 square feet of
Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area. The combined length of the proposed pier walkways would
result in the shading of 3,660 square feet of coastal wetlands and intertidal mud flats. Short-term
increases in turbidity can be expected during piling placement. The project would provide water and
boating access for the subdivision lot owners.

Recommendations for State Permit—Water's Edge Community Marina/.Jimmy's Island, LLC
The arrangement of the finger piers in the northern docking area of Dock Facility"A",provide the potential to
moor an additional vessel on the northeast side of the last finger pier. Relocating the finger pier between slips 8
and 9 would alleviate this potential. Within the marsh border,the pier walkway to the southern docking area of
Dock Facility`B"crosses a slough of unvegetated, intertidal mudflats that would be navigable at high tide by
small watercraft(kayak, canoe,jet ski, etc.). The requirement of an arch in the pier walkway to accommodate
navigation through this area may be applicable. Conversely, increased activity within the marsh border,
especially by jet skis or other PWCs,may adversely impact the adjacent marsh area. This office recommends
that any permit issued to authorize the proposed project should include the following conditions:
1. 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
project without having the permit transferred to a third-party.
2. This permit authorizes only the dock,pier, float, retaining walls for the boat ramp, bulkhead, dredging
(� the boat basin, and channel maintenance, other structures and uses located in or over the water that are
expressly and specifically set forth in the permit application. No other structures,whether floating or
stationary,may become a permanent part of the structure without a permit modification. No non-water
dependent uses of structures may be conducted on, in or over public trust waters without a permit
modification.
C 3. The docking facility located on the AIWW/Topsail Sound section of the project must meet the required
PvQ of setbacks for the federal channel (80 feet).
4 The docking facility located on the AIWW/Topsail Sound section of the project must not be any closer
than 100' from the edge of the boatlift pilings/docks/piers etc. to avoid the closure of shell fish waters.
y5. In order to protect water quality,runoff from the construction must not visibly increase the amount of
/ suspended sediments in adjacent waters.
,! The permiee must install and maintain, at his expense,any signal lights and signals prescribed by the US
Coast Guard through regulations or otherwise, on authorized activities.
7. Future development on the permittee's property may require a modification of this permit. Contact a
representative of this Division at(910) 395-3900 prior to commencement of any such activity for this
determination.
Any violation of or deviation from the Division of Water Quality's(DWQ)approval for this project under
stormwater management rules of the Environmental Management Commission will be considered a
violation of this CAMA permit.
9. The construction of the proposed project shall be in compliance with all local, State and Federal
regulations and associated permit conditions.
No attempt will be made by the permittee to prevent the full and free use by the public of all navigable
5waters at or adjacent to the authorized work.

jl. The authorized structure and associated activity must not cause an unacceptable interference
with navigation.
12,/ At no time shall more than 18 vessels be moored, docked or located at the combined docking facilities.
The restriction on the number of vessels shall apply to all marine vessel types, including,but not limited
to motorboats, sailing vessels and personal watercraft.
,$<"13. Boat slips are for the sole use of the subdivision lot owners; slips shall not be rented, leased, sold, or
otherwise used by any party.
V/14. No portion of the covered decks(16' X 16' roof-line) associated with each docking area shall be
constructed over vegetated wetlands.
15. Prior to the occupancy of any boat slips, a recorded copy of the subdivision restrictive covenant,
prohibiting the construction of private piers from individual lots and restricting vessels to 21' in length,
with no cabins or heads (marine sanitation devices), shall be submitted to the Division. (The Div. may
wish to consider deed restrictions rather than restrictive covenant for this requirement.)

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
Water's Edge at Deerfield
Pender County
The following is a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the two proposed
community docking facilities for Water's Edge at Deerfield subdivision in Pender County. The two
proposed docking facilities, as outlined in the Environmental Assessment(EA),includes Docking
Facility A, located in Topsail Sound and Docking Facility B, located in Mill Creek. Each of the
docking facilities proposes 9 slips. No new dredging will be associated with this project;however,
the proposed piers are adjacent to the existing dredge-maintained channels of Mill Creek and the
Topsail Sound(Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway)that will continue to be maintained as needed.
This EA/FONSI are prerequisites for the processing of a Coastal Area Management Act
(CAMA)Major permit application by the Division of Coastal Management.
It is concluded that the proposed project will not have a significant adverse effect on the
environment provided that it can be permitted and subsequently developed consistent with the State
guidelines in the Rules of the Coastal Resources Commission and the avoidance/mitigation measures
contained in the EA. An Environmental Impact Statement(EIS)will not be prepared for this project.

MEMO
To: Doug Huggett
From: Mike Christenbury
Subject: Consistency Determination, Major Permit Application, Jimmy's Island,
LLC/Water's Edge Community Marina, Pender County
Date: May 14, 2004
The applicant proposes build 4 docks with slips (2 docks along the Intracoastal Waterway
and 2 along Mill Creek) to serve the Water's Edge Subdivision.
Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC's) impacted by the proposal are EW, CW, ES and
PT. Waters at the project site are classified as SA in Mill Creek and SA-ORW along
AIWW/Topsail Sound. Mill Creek is closed to the harvesting of shellfish and
AIWW/Topsail Sound is open. Mill Creek is a Primary Nursery Area.
I have reviewed this proposal for consistency with the Pender County 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, Pender County allows development in Conservation classified AECs which is
consistent with the State's minimum use standards. The Pender County Land Use Plan
contains some policies which exceed the State's minimum use standards including those
for marinas and wet slip marinas. Under(A) Resource Protection policies of the Pender
County Land Use Plan. "there shall be no new marinas allowed in or adjacent to waters
designated ORW."
For permitting purposes, DCM defines marinas as more than (10) ten slips. However, the
Pender County Land Use Plan defines marinas "as any publicly or privately owned dock,
basin or wet boat storage facility constructed to accommodate more than five boats. "
Each of the two docks proposed along the Intracoastal Waterway do not exceed 5 slips.
Provided neither of the proposed docks along the Intracaoastal Waterway(ORW waters)
exceed 5 slips, and provided all local, state and federal requirements can be met, this
project appears to be consistent with the 1991 Pender County Land Use Plan Update.

Dear Mr. Huggett:
Reference Terry Turner's application for a Department of the Army permit to build an 18
slip community marina in Mill Creek to serve the Water's Edge Subdivision located at the
southern end of Great Oak Drive, off US Highway 17, in Hampstead, Pender 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:
fC 1. All work authorized by this permit must be performed in strict compliance with the
p rmit plans, which are a part of this permit.
2. No vegetated wetlands will be excavated or filled.
3. This permit does not authorize the interference with any existing or proposed Federal
roject, and the permittee will not be entitled to compensation for damage or injury to the
Jauthorized structure or work which may be caused from existing or future operations undertaken
by the United States in the public interest.
111/ 4. 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.
pru 4The Permittee must install and maintain, at its expense, any signal lights and signals
ried by the U.S. Coast Guard, through regulations or otherwise, on all authorized facilities
constructed within navigable waters of the United States.
6. No excavated or fill material will be placed in any location or in any manner so as to
impair surface water flow into or out of any wetland area.
7. The authorized structure and activity will not cause an unacceptable interference with
navigation.
8. 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.
J9. This Department of the Army permit does not obviate the need to obtain other Federal,
State, or local authorizations required by law.
i
10. 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.
11. The permittee understands and agrees that,if future operations by the United States require
v�'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.
12. In issuing this permit, the Federal Government does not assume any liability for:
a. Damages to the permitted project or uses thereof as a result of other permitted or
unpermitted activities or from natural causes.
b. Damages to the permitted project or uses thereof as a result of current or future Federal

13. No portion of any structure will be located within 80 feet of the near bottom edge
federally maintained channel. An as-built survey will be performed on the pier/docks upon
completion of the project and sent to the Wilmington Regulatory Field Office.
14. 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.
15. The West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus), which is listed as a federally
endangered species, has been reported in the waters near the Beaufort waterfront. In order to
protect the West Indian manatee all work should be done during the period from November 1 to

Subject: Action ID #200400494, Jimmy's Island LLC, Water's Edge at Deerfield Subdivision,
Pender 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 March 19, 2004. The applicant,Terry Turner for Jimmy's Island LLC,
has applied for a Department of the Army(DA)permit to construct a community marina
consisting of two piers and four docking areas at the Water's Edge at Deerfield Subdivision. We
have reviewed the Field Investigation Report(FIR) of the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management(NCDM). 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).
In January 2004 the Service received a copy of the Environmental Assessment(EA), dated
December 29, 2003, for the proposed action from the NCDCM. The EA addressed a proposal to _.
construct and operate four piers that would constitute the docking facilities for the subdivision.
The project would consist of two piers each in Topsail Sound(Dock Facility A),near the Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway(AIWW), and Mill Creek(Dock Facility B). No submerged aquatic
vegetation (SAV) had been observed in the project sites. The AIWW and Topsail Sound near the
project have been designated as Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW)by the NC Division of
Water Quality(NCDWQ). The size of boats using the facility would be limited to 21 feet in
length. Construction would involve jetting and/or driving timbers into the ground.
The Service provided initial comments to the North Carolina Intergovernmental Review
Clearinghouse by letter dated February 13,2004. A copy of this letter was sent to you.
2
The EA discusses the measures to avoid or minimize the environmental impacts of the
construction. The appendix of the revised EA contains the response of the applicant to the
recommendations of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission(NCWRC) and the
NCDWQ. With the exception of the request by the NCWRC that no future dredging be
undertaken in association with these docking facilities, all these recommendations have been
Accepted by the developer. Regarding dredging, the developer indicates that both Mill Creek and
the AIWW are dredge-maintained channels and that dredging would continue to maintain these
navigation channels. The Service accepts the continuation of dredging for existing waterways,
but would not support new dredging to facilitate access of boats between the development and
these existing, maintained channels.
The Service is concerned that low piers could harm marsh vegetation by blocking sunlight. The
applicant has accepted the NCWRC recommendation that pier decking would be constructed a
minimum of four feet off the marsh floor. Project plans (sheet 5 of 5) suggest that most piers
would be approximately six feet above the marsh substrate. The Service supports this
conservation design feature.
As we noted in February, the Service has reviewed available information on federally-threatened
or endangered species that could be present in the project area. The only listed species likely to
occur in the project area is the West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus), a federally-
endangered mammal. We noted that placing timber by either jetting and/or driving poses a risk
to the manatee since water depths at the ends of the proposed piers are given as -3.5 feet at mean
low water(MLW). During high water, manatees would be able to access much of the area of
pier construction. We stated that risks to the manatee would be reduced by implementing the
"Guidelines for Avoiding Impacts to the West Indian Manatee-Precautionary Measures for
Construction Activities in North Carolina Waters." These guidelines are available on our web
site at<http://nc-es.fws.gov/mammal/manateeguidelines pdL. 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.
The risk to manatees would be further reduced by performing the work during the period of
November through May. The EA notes that construction would take place "during periods of
minimum biological activity," but does not specify the period. The FIR states that Mill Creek is
a designated primary nursery area(PNA). The moratorium period for PNAs adopted by the
North Carolina Department of Transportation and the Corps is February 15 through September
30. The moratorium period to protect most anadromous fish is February 15 through June 15.
The Service recommends that in-water work occur outside the PNA moratorium period that
would include all but the final month(October)when manatees are most likely to be in North
Carolina. With the inclusion of our manatee guidelines and an in-water work moratorium during
the warmest months of the year, the Service would concur with a determination by the District
Engineer that the action is not likely to adversely affect species designated as threatened,
Ay
3
endangered, or their designated critical habitat. However, the requirement of section 7 would
need to 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.
Overall, the Service is pleased that the applicant has accepted the conservation recommendations
of the state agencies. We support these recommendations and would not object to the issuance of
a DA that contained the following conditions:
1. All pier decking would be minimum of four feet above the marsh floor;
2. No additional dredging would be allowed beyond that which has been performed in the
past to maintain navigation in Mill Creek and the AIWW;
3. In-water construction would not occur during the moratorium period for PNAs and
anadromous fish which, in combination,prohibits work during the period of February 15
through September 30; and,
4. The Service's "Guidelines for Avoiding Impacts to the West Indian Manatee-
Precautionary Measures for Construction Activities in North Carolina Waters" are
implemented.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to provide these comments on this project. If you have
questions regarding these comments,please contact Howard Hall at 919-856-4520, ext. 27, at the
address above, or by e-mail at<howard ha�fws.gov>.

Dear Ms. Baggett:
This letter provides the comments of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service(Service)on the
Environmental Assessment(EA),revised on December 29, 2003, for community docking
facilities at the Water's Edge at Deerfield Subdivision(subdivision), Pender County,North
Carolina. By letter dated January 8, 2004,Ms. Kristie Corson, Assistant Permits and
Consistency Coordinator for the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management(DCM) sent
the Service a copy of the EA and requested comments on the proposed work be sent to you.
While the Service-has no formal role in the State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA)review
process, we appreciate the opportunity to provide technical assistance and an early expression of
the Service position that will be provided to the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers(Corps) on the
release of a Public Notice (PN). Our comments to the Corps will be 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 will be used in the Corps' determination of compliance with the Clean Water Act 404(b)(1)
guidelines (40 CFR 230) and their public interest review (33 CFR 320.4) as they relate to
protection of fish and wildlife resources. The consideration of our comments by the applicant,
Jimmy's Island Limited Liability Corporation(LLC),will facilitate environmental conservation
and permitting of the project.
The EA addresses a proposal to construct and operate four piers that would constitute the
docking facilities for the subdivision. The project would consist of two piers each in Topsail
Sound(Dock Facility A),near the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway(AIWW), and Mill Creek
(Dock Facility B). No submerged aquatic vegetation(SAV)has been observed in the project
sites. The size of boats using the facility would be limited to 21 feet in length. Construction
would involve jetting and/or driving timbers into the ground.
The EA discusses the measures used to avoid or minimize the environmental impacts of the
construction. The pier structures would be elevated"well above all coastal and/or freshwater
wetlands." The appendix of the revised EA contains the response of the applicant to the .
recommendations of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission(NCWRC)and the
North Carolina Division of Water Quality(NCDWQ). With the exception of the request by the
2
NCWRC that no future dredging be undertaken in association with these docking facilities, all
these recommendations have been accepted by the developer. Regarding dredging,the developer
indicates that both Mill Creek and the AIWW are dredge-maintained channels and that dredging
would continue to maintain these navigation channels. The Service accepts the continuation of
dredging for existing waterways,but would not support new dredging to facilitate access of boats
between the development and these existing, maintained channels.
The Service will carefully review the CAMA-Corps PN for potential impacts to federally
threatened or endangered species under our jurisdiction. The listed species known to occur in
Pender County can be found on our web site at<http://nc-es.fws.gov/es/cntylist/>. Information
for a more limited area around the project site is available from the North Carolina Natural
Heritage Program(NCNHP)database. This database contains occurrence records for both state
and federally protected species within each U. S. Geological Survey quadrangle(quad). The
occurrence data of special status species within this quad can be obtained on the internet at<
htip://www.ncWarks.net/nhp/Auad.html>. The project is located within the Hampstead quad.
State listed species may occur in the project area. The eastern painted bunting(Passerina ciris
ciris), a common summer resident of coastal regions, is listed on the NCNHP database for the
Hampstead quad. This species is most numerous in dense shrub thickets of the barrier islands
and adjacent mainland, breeds in shrub thickets, and is a Federal Species of Concern and
Significantly Rare in the State. The Carolina diamondback terrapin(Malaclemys terrapin
centrata) is listed as a current record for the Hampstead quad and may occur in or near the
project area. The species has a state status of Special Concern and is found in salt marshes and
tidal channels that are bordered by Spartina spp.
Our initial review indicates that the only federally listed species likely to occur in the project area
is the West Indian manatee(Trichechus manatus), a federally-endangered mammal. The species
is known to occur in Pender County. However, it has not reported within the Hampstead quad.
The shallow, estuarine waters of the project area may provide suitable habitat for manatees that
move along the Atlantic Coast during summer months and are seasonal transients in North
Carolina,primarily from June through October. Manatees feed in areas of SAV usually in water
one to two meters (3.3 -6.6 feet)deep. The species moves extensively when in North Carolina
waters and past occurrence records cannot be used to precisely determine the likelihood that it
will be presence at a particular construction site.
While manatee occurrences are rare in North Carolina,protection of the species would be
enhanced during certain in-water construction activities by implementing the"Guidelines for
Avoiding Impacts to the West Indian Manatee-Precautionary Measures for Construction
Activities in North Carolina Waters." These guidelines are available on our web site at<
h=://nc-es.fws.gov/mammal/manatee Ruidelines.pdf>. 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.
v
3
The EA notes that pier construction may require placing timber by either jetting and/or driving.
Water depths at the ends of the proposed piers are given as 3.5 feet at mean low water(MLW).
Pile driving for pier construction is a potential hazard for manatee.
As part of the CAMA-Corps permit process, the Corps will make a determination of the project
impacts on federally endangered or threatened species. We encourage the applicant to provide
the Corps with sufficient information to make this determination. In regard to the manatee, this
information may simply involve specifying the construction period as November through May,
the placement of all timber by jetting, and/or the incorporation of the manatee guidelines into
project plans. The EA notes that construction would take place"during periods of minimum
biological activity,"but does not specify the period.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to provide these early comments on this project. We
hope that our discussion of potential direct and indirect environmental impacts, as well as our
recommendations to avoid or minimize these impacts,will be considered in the application for a
Corps permit. If you have questions regarding these comments,please contact Howard Hall at
919-856-4520, ext. 27, at the address above, or by e-mail at<howard hall(Qfws.gov>.

Dear Mr. Turner:
The Division of Coastal Management through a coo erative agreement with the Division of Water Quality has
reviewed our CAMA major permit a plication to determine if a stormwater management permit would be
required from the Division of Water�uality. The review of the plans and specifications has determined that the
development activities Troposed at this time will not pose a threat to surface water quality from stormwater
runoff. The Director of the Division of Water Quality has determined that projects that are reviewed and
approved by the Division of Water Quality 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 pre required to have an NPDES permit for stormwater discharge from projects meeting these
cnteria. The stormwater rules require the Division of Water Quality to permit the common plan of development,
therefore, any future development on the property, regardless of whether a CAMA Major permit is also
required, may require a Stormwater Management Permit application and permit issuance from the Division of
Water Quality prior to any construction.
Please be advised that this determination is for stormwater management requirements only. Your request for
authorization of development under the Coastal Area Management Act is still in process.
If you have any questions or need additional information concerning this matter please contact Ms. Linda Lewis
with the Division of Water Quality at(910) 395-3900.

SUBJECT: Environmental Assessment (EA) for the CoMWuX4ty J)ockiug Facility—Water's
Edge at Deerfield, Topsail Sound(AIWW) and Mill Creek, near Hampstead,
Pender County,North Carolina. Project Number 1251.
The North,Carolina WUdli£e Resources Commission has reviewed the project for impacts
to wildlife and fishery resources. A site visit associated with a related CAMA dredge and fill
application was made on May 20, 2003. Our comments are provided in accordance with,
provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act(48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et
seq.), Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (as amended), and North Carolina General Statutes
(G.S. 113-131 et seq.).
The applicant wishes to construct 2 pier/dock structures in the AIWW/Topsail Sound and
2 pier/dock structures in Mill Creek to provide a total•of 18 boat slips for an 18 lot subdivision
named Waters Edge. Dockage is to be liumuted to boats less than 24 ft. long without cabins or
beads. Water depth at the docks is reported to approximate 3.5 ft. A productive margin of
coastal wetlands and mud flats occurs along project shorelines providing excellent habitat for
racc00% opossum wading birds, waterfowl, diamondback terrapin,juvenile fishes, and estuarine
invertebrates. Area waters are classified SA-Qutstanding Resource Waters, open to shellfishing
(AIWW/Topsail Sound) and SA, Priuvxy Nursery Area(Mill Creek).
We checked with,Shellfish Sanitation and got confirmation that, since the project has
fewer than 30 slips, allows no boats with heads or cabins, and prohibits boats over 24 ft. in length,
no shellfish closure will be required. However, the piers are expected to shade coastal wetland
vegetation. Shoaling may xesult fxom the installation of pilings in areas having tidal currents,

prompting future requests to dredge in Outstanding Resource Waters that are also designated a
Primary Nursery Area. Elevated turbidity in an extremely sensitive estuarine area caused by
jetting in pilings is expected to cause water quality decline, especially if the work is done during
warmer months of the year. Also, navigation could be hindered by the Mill Creek piers and
docks. Although the proposed structures alone appear to comply with the Division of Coastal
Management's"1/4 rule"on paper, it is unclear as to whether the structures with moored boats in
place will comply with this rule. Consequently, we concur with the EA only under the following
conditions.
1. Fier declsug is constructed a minimum of 4 ft. off the marsh floor to allow sunlight
penetration to underlying wetland vegetation.
2. No present or future dredging is allowed to protect extremely sensitive estuarine
waters.
3. Work will avoid the April. 1 to September 30 period of peak biological activity_
4. The piers and docks on NO Creep shall conform to Coastal Management's"1/4 rule"
w1th boats moored In place.

DATE: November 17, 2003
SUBJECT: Environmental Assessment
PROJECT: Community Docking Facility for Water's Edge at Deerfield
Project No. 1251
COUNTY: Pender
The Wilmington Regional Office has reviewed the Environmental Assessment for the Community
Docking Facility for Water's Edge at Deerfield. Please note that on page 4, section E, #10, Myrtle Grove
Sound is referenced. This appears to be an error because the project is actually located in Topsail Sound
and Mill Creek,both classified SA ORW by the Division of Water Quality.
This office has no objection to the project as proposed provided that a minor change i s made.
North Carolina Administrative Code 15A NCAC 2B .0225(e)(7)(F) limits marinas in Topsail Sound to
those with less than 10 slips, having no boats over 21' in length and no boats with heads. The EA only
limits the boats to 24' in length. If this change is made, t he p roposed p roject w ill n of v iolate W ater
Quality Standards.
Although this office will have an opportunity to review the CAMA Major Permit application, a
401 Water Quality Certification is not required for the project as proposed.

Dear Mr. Hollis:
This letter is in response to your recent Environmental Assessment submittal for the proposed community
docking facilities of Water's Edge subdivision, Pender County. Division of Coastal Management(DCM)
staff has reviewed the draft document and noted the following. Please follow the Environmental
Assessment Guidelines provided for your use. Environmental documents prepared in accordance with
these guidelines are successful by requiring less review time and are more likely to meet approval of the
State agencies.

The Table of Contents should follow the outline of the EA Guidelines provided for your use.
Proiect Description
Clearly identity each of the proposed docking structures(Dock Facility A and Dock Facility B)in the text
as they are labeled on the workplan drawings.
Better descriptions of the proposed piers should be addressed(T-heads,L-heads, all platforms or
platforms and floats).
Confirm the distance of the piers from each other, from the waterward end(T-head or L-head,etc)or
from the pier on the landward side.
Existing Environmental Characteristics of Proiect Area
The document should include this section. The document should confirm and describe the presence of
any resources occurring in the project area. Confirm the date at which the water depths were collected.

Predicted Environmental Effects
Impact discussions should not be included in the Existing Environmental Characteristics section, but
should be included in the Predicted Environmental Effects section. For Public Lands discussions,
quantify the square footage of public trust waters to be usurped by the proposed facility.
It is recommended that you contact Ron Sechler, National Marine Fisheries (252/728-5090), to identify
Essential Fish Habitat(EFH)in accordance with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act. (Information regarding EFH is enclosed.)The presence of EFH, or the lack thereof,
should be addressed in the document.
The Predicted Environmental Effects section should discuss the proposed direct, indirect and cumulative
impacts on the existing environment by the preferred alternative.
Cumulative Impacts
In accordance with §113A-120(a)(10) and 15A NCAC T15A 07H.0208(b)(5)(P), cumulative impacts of
the proposed development must be explored. Cumulative impacts are defined as "impacts attributable to
the collective effects of a number of projects and include the effects of additional projects similar to the
requested permit in areas available for development in the vicinity".
In order to access the cumulative impacts of your proposed project, the document should attempt to:
1) Describe the nature of similar projects within the waterbody or system in which your proposed
project is located. At a minimum the following information is needed:
a) The number of marinas,commercial facilities and private docks within the project vicinity
should be identified. Both the number of such facilities and number of existing slips should
be quantified.
b) The type and amount of SAVs, shellfish beds, wetland vegetation and coastal marsh located
within the project vicinity.
c) Discuss the likelihood of similar developments being proposed in the future.
2) Describe how various coastal resources will be impacted by the combined effects of your project
with those projects already in place in the project vicinity. Specifically, cumulative impacts to
water quality, stormwater runoff,fisheries resources, shellfish resources, wildlife resources and
public trust usage must all be addressed.
The aforementioned comments regard document review per SEPA criteria. At a minimum,DCM staff
recommend that the document be revised accordingly in an effort to proceed with the SEPA process.
However,the following comments are noted as the project relates to CRC rules. These issues will be
addressed during the permitting phase and will affect the timeliness of the permit application process and
the issuance determination of a permit.
CRC rule 7H.0208 (b)(5)(D)regarding the square footage allowed per linear feet of shoreline
of a community marina, states that"Marinas to be developed in waters subject to public trust rights(other than
those created by dredging upland basins or canals)for the purpose of providing docking for residential
developments shall be allowed no more than`27 square feet of public trust areas for every one linear foot of
shoreline adjacent to these public trust areas for construction of docks and mooring facilities.The 27 square feet
allocation shall not apply to fairway areas between parallel piers or any portion of the pier used only for access from
land to the docking spaces." In order to apply this rule to the proposed project,the mean high water mark should be
clearly identified. As currently proposed,the easements between Lots 1 and 2(Dock Facility A)and Lots 17 and 18
(Dock Facility B)do not comply with this rule. A common area should be designated for each docking facility in
order to apply shoreline necessary to comply with this rule.
,M
In addition,CRC rule 7H .0208 (b)(6)(D) addresses the"four square foot"rule which states that"The combined area
of all "T"s,finger piers,platforms,and decks must not exceed a combined total area of four square feet per linear
foot of shoreline. Projects requiring dimensions greater than those stated in this Rule shall be permitted only if the
greater dimensions are necessary for safe use,or to support a water dependent use that cannot otherwise occur." A
common area should also be designated for each docking facility in order to apply shoreline necessary to comply
with the 4-square foot rule.
The existing recorded linear shoreline Lots 1,2 and 3 and Lots 17 and 18 (or those which are necessary to meet the
27 and 4-square foot rules)should be rerecorded with deed restrictions noting the common area easements. The
deeds should also note that no future docking structures will be allowed for these lots. If the lots have been
previously sold,then the owners of those lots are required to apply as co-applicants on the permit application for this
project. A modification of permit 68-03 may be required for the designation of common areas.
After addressing these comments and appropriate revisions,please submit 13 copies of the revised
document to this office so that I can initiate the Departmental review process. You will be advised as to
any comments, suggestions,objections or necessary revisions that result from this Departmental review.
Upon satisfactory completion of the Departmental review,you will be notified that an additional 11
copies of the document, including any subsequent revisions, should be submitted to this office to satisfy
the requirements of the State Clearinghouse review process.
Please feel free to contact me by phone(919/733-2293, ext. 247), fax (919/733-1495)or e-mail
(kristie.corson@ncmail.net)if you would like to discuss these matters further.

Dear Mr.Turner:
We have received the archaeological survey report for the above project from Coastal Carolina
Research, Inc.
During the course of the survey, seven archaeological sites were assessed within the project
area. Coastal Carolina Research, Inc. has recommended that no further archaeological
investigation be conducted in connection with this project. We concur with this
recommendation since the scope of this project will not involve significant archaeological
resources.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with
Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the
above comment,please contact Renee Gledhill-Earley,environmental review coordinator, at
919/733-4763. In all future communication concerning this project,please cite the above-

Dear Mr. Turner:
The Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges that on January 2,2004,we received your
application for State approval for the development of property located at the end of Great Oak Drive,adjacent to
Topsail Sound, in the Water's Edge at Deerfield Subdivision,near Hampstead, in Pender County. The State
Clearinghouse has completed it's review of your project's Environmental Assessment(EA)and a Finding of No
Significant Impacts(FONSI)was issued for your project on January 8, 2004. The projected deadline for making a
decision on your permit application is March 23,2004. An additional 75-day review period is provided by law
when such time is necessary to complete the review. If you have not been notified of a final action by the initial
deadline stated above,you should consider the review period extended. Under those circumstances,this letter will
serve as your notice of an extended review. However,an additional letter will be provided on or about the 75th
day.
If this agency does not render a permit decision within 70 days from January 8,2004,you may request a
meeting with the Director of the Division of Coastal Management and permit staff to discuss the status of your
