Re: Homer Smith Marina
Environmental Assessment
DENR Project No. 1478
Enclosed you will find a revised copy of the Environmental Assesment for Homer
Smith Marina and full size plans of the proposed project. Several sections of the EA have
been amended to alleviate any major concerns that were brought up in the initial review
and comment process. Major new mitigation practices that will go into effect include:
• Enforcing a locked head policy with regulations in place in slip lease contracts to
allow for individual bilge and head tank monitoring. The developer plans on using all
available resources to prevent any unwanted discharges into open waters, and to
closely monitor use of the pumpout facilities
• Actively seek to enroll in the NC Clean Marina Program.
• The Developer has agreed to test underwater sediments after EA approval and
forward the test results to any interested agencies prior to any permitting or dredging
activities. In addition dredging techniques that minimize sloughing will be used on
site to prevent any potential undermining of wetlands.
• Test results for the on -site monitoring wells are included.
Several other changes were made to the document to include more information. If you
have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me at Stroud
Engineering PA.

Environmental Assessment
Homer Smith Seafood
Beaufort, North Carolina
A. PROPOSED PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this Environmental Assessment (EA) is to provide the North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) and associated agencies with
information to assist in reaching a decision whether construction and operation of the proposed
235-slip Marina and associated facilities will have an impact on the environment sufficient to
cause the State of North Carolina to require preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) for the project. If an EIS is not warranted, a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)
will be issued prior to the action on a CAMA Major Development Permit.
Mr. John Gainey (the developer) proposes development of a commercial marina with associated
parking to be located at 101 Cedar Street in Beaufort, North Carolina at the current location of
Homer Smith Seafood. Additional parking will be located on the vacant lot across from the
project at 203 Cedar Street. The site consists of two parcels located on the water adjacent to the
Hardees restaurant and across from Town Creek Marina. The site includes 1.36 acres that
currently supports one large seafood packing building, loading docks, fuel storage, a gravel
parking lot, and commercial boat docks. The additional parcel abuts the Homer Smith property to
the west. It is not currently developed and is approximately .13 acres.
The site includes approximately 10 acres of riparian rights in a Public Trust Area. Construction
will require the removal of the existing dock and the existing seafood packing building. Seven
floating docks will be constructed to service the 235 proposed wet -slips. A large amount of these
wet -slips will be serviced by individual boat lifts. The other normal wet -slips will range in size
from 28 to 60 feet long. There will also be a designated fuel and pumpout dock at the end of
Dock `B". The boat slips will be constructed to accommodate boats ranging in size from small
skiffs to large yachts up to 90 feet in length, although the majority of slips will accommodate
vessels from 20 to 65 feet in length. Fuel, boat supplies, and boat pumpout will be also being
made available to the public.
The project also includes hydraulic dredging of 25,000 to 28,000 cubic yards of silt and fine sand
from the marina basin. Preliminary plans call for the dredge spoils to be deposited on property
adjacent to the Beaufort Airport. The parcel is owned by the Old Seaport Development
Corporation and located at 153 Aqua 10 Road. Plans will include diking the disposal area to
-avoid any potential impact to wetlands. Existing and proposed bottom contours are shown on the
attached dredging plan. Existing normal low water depths range from 1 to over 14 feet in the area
of the proposed docks; shallow areas are proposed to be dredged to a 6 foot depth at normal low
water. The location of the deeper water bisects the site of the dredging into two areas. This

channel ranges from 10 to almost 15 feet deep at normal low water and part of it will be used for
access. The proposed dredged depths will be shallower than the access channel which will allow
for good flushing twice a day.
The upland component of the project will include a 53 car parking lot, fuel and pumpout storage,
and restroom facilities for boaters. Potable water and wastewater disposal will be provided by the
Town of Beaufort. Upland disturbance will total approximately .75 acres. This includes the
construction of .47 acres of parking, 1200 square feet for a clubhouse, and the removal of
concrete, gravel, and the fish house. Existing impervious surfaces on site total 40,790 square
feet. After removal of 10,320 square feet of impervious surfaces, the project BUA will total
approximately 30,470 square feet. The total upland project footprint is approximately 1 acre.
B. PURPOSE AND NEED FOR PROPOSED PROJECT
The project will convert an aging commercial seafood operation into a facility serving the
tourism and sport fishing industries in the Beaufort and Morehead City area. Like the adjacent
Town Creek Marina, the Homer Smith Marina will cater to a wide range of boats transiting the
Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and operating around Carteret County. Roughly half of the slips
provided will be 40 to 60 feet in length. This will provided accommodation for a considerable
number of mid to large size boats. The other half of the wet -slips will range from 26 to 30 feet in
length and be provided with boat lifts. These will accommodate small to mid size fishing and
pleasure boats, and provide anti -fouling benefits to the boat owners. Since these boats will not be
positioned in the water while not in use leaching of harmful bottom paint compounds into the
environment will be less significant. The marina will strictly be for dockage. No maintenance
will be provided on site.
According to the CAMA land Use Plan for the Town of Beaufort as updated and adopted on
December 11, 2006 (The Wooten Company 2006), the site is located in an area of commercial
use as shown on the existing land use map on page 56. The site is also located in an area that
contains very little vacant land. Consequently, growth potential in the area is based on
redevelopment of land to different uses. In section 5.4 one goal of the land use plan is to provide
more public water access and to ensure that proposed projects do not infringe upon this right. In
its current form of as a commercial fishing operation it provides no access to public waters.
When redeveloped as a marina dockage will be for commercial use. Fuel and supplies will be
made available to transient boaters. Dockage will be made available through the use of rentals
pools. Another goal of the land use plan is the revitalization and visual improvement of the US
70- Cedar Street area. The redevelopment of this site will remove approximately 10,000 square
feet of impervious surfaces and older buildings associated with past uses.
The revitalization of the site is in keeping with the CAMA directives giving preferences to
water -dependent uses at shoreline areas. The project optimizes the use of land and water
resources in an area already intensely developed and characterized by existing marina facilities.
A major highway (US highway 70) is located adjacent to the site, which further supports the
viability and suitability of the site for development.
2

According to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS 2005), Carteret County is one of the
state's most important recreational fishing destinations. Recreational fisheries contribute
substantially to the state's economy, and North Carolina was second only to Florida nationally in
the number of angling trips that anglers took in 2005 (7.3 million). North Carolina is also second
only to Florida in the number of recreational anglers that reside here (2.2 million).
The states recreational fisheries provide thousands of full time jobs to coastal towns.
Employment in Beaufort is based largely in the service and trade sector. According to the 2007
Beaufort Land use plan the largest employment industry in the town is the recreation,
accommodation, food service, entertainment, and art category. In 2000 this industry employed
about 18 percent of all workers living in Beaufort. Travel and tourism impact this sector of
employment tremendously due to the fact that this region has historically been a popular vacation
destination.
The sport fishing industry in Carteret County is second only to Dare County in North Carolina.
The business activities that depend on the Sport Fishing industry include commercial wet and dry
slip marinas, boat building, outfitting and supply, and the hospitality business including hotels
and restaurants. Growth of sport fishing will continue to demand quality boat dockage that is in
short supply. Construction of the Homer Smith Marina will provide additional dockage for sport
fishing vessels of all sizes without impacting undisturbed waterfront in Beaufort.
C. ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS
CA No Action Alternative
This alternative would eliminate any additional impacts to the existing environment, and would
also leave the site developed as a commercial fish house. Impervious surfaces associated with
past land uses would remain at the site. This alternative would also deny the developer the ability
to construct and operate a marina facility, and would not contribute to the revitalization of the
Cedar Street area. This alternative does not meet the purpose and need of the project.
C.2 Marina Construction Without Dredging
Approximately 13% of the 10 acre riparian area to be utilized for boat dockage is less than two
feet in depth, and approximately 33% is less than 4 feet in depth. Consequently the exclusion of
marina dredging would result in smaller and shallower docking areas. The same quantity of
Public Trust waters would be used, but smaller and fewer boats would be accommodated while
excluding larger ocean going vessels. Because of this the purpose and need of the project (to
accommodate large vessels as well as small ones) would not be met. The exclusion of dredging
from the project would impact tidal flushing negatively and impair the removal of stagnant water
and pollutants through this process. The construction of scaled down docking operations would
also make a sewer pumpout facility a less cost effective option.
C.3 Dry Stack Marina
Construction of a dry stack marina on the site would not be feasible due to the restricted size and
shape of the lot. The highway 70 Department of Transportation right-of-way effectively reduces
the buildable area of the site to much less than would be needed for a viable Dry Stack Marina

enterprise. Even if feasible; only boats that could be maneuvered with a forklift could be
accommodated (generally boats less than 30-32 feet in length). Consequently this option does not
meet the purpose and need of the project (to accommodate large vessels as well as small ones).
In addition the benefits increased water circulation from dredging would provide to water quality
would not be fully realized.
CA Preferred Alternative
The preferred alternative is shown in the attached figures. It includes the construction of seven 8
foot wide floating docks between 200 and 650 feet offshore, 235 slips for boats up to 90 feet in
length, as well as construction of a parking lot for boat owners, and fuel and pumpout storage.
Roughly half of the slips will be between 30 and 60 feet in length and cater to mid to large size
vessels. The other half of the wet -slips will be between 26 and 30 feet in length and provide boat
lifts for long term storage of vessels out of the water. This storage shall mitigate the leeching of
bottom coat compounds into the water. As shown in the figure dock `B" shall provide fueling
facilities for boat owners, and the transient boating public. Preliminary designs call for a
maximum of 235 slips with an average size of 600 square feet.
The project also includes dredging of approximately 25,000 to 28,000 cubic yards of bottom
sediments with disposal in a high ground disposal area north of the site. Existing and proposed
depth contours are shown on the Proposed Dredging plan. Dredging will allow larger boats better
access to all of the marina facilities. In several areas of proposed dockage existing depths are
only 2 feet to 3 feet at normal low water. This would reduce the ability of larger draft vessels to
utilize the proposed dockage without dredging.
The preferred alternative 1) offers reasonable utilization of the site; 2) is in keeping with
Beaufort redevelopment plans; 3) will remove significant amounts of impervious surfaces; 4)
meets sport fishing and boating industry needs; and 5) adds additional transient boating services.
D. EXISTING ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS
D.1 Topography
The site includes 1,000 linear feet of shoreline bordered by approximately 430 linear feet of
concrete sheet pile bulkhead. Elevations of the bulkhead cap and adjacent upland areas are
generally 3.5 to 6 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD). The site is within the
National Flood Insurance Program's 100 year floodplain (Zone AE, elevation 7).
D.2 Soils
Soils on the site are designated by the Natural Resources Conservation Service as Leon -Urban
Land Complex and Corolla Urban Land Complex. These soils are composed mainly of fill
materials. There are also two main areas of wetlands soils present at the site. These include both
Coastal Wetlands and 404 Wetlands.

In the marina basin, bottom sediments are mainly fine silt and sands. A detailed chemical
analysis. of the subsurface sediments and any possible contamination from past uses will be
provided to before dredging commences if deemed necessary by the regulating agencies. All
dredging will also comply with existing moratorium dates, and utilize turbidity curtains to
minimize the impacts of sediments within the water column.
D.3 Land Use
The site is currently developed into a commercial fishing operation. Land areas around the site
are currently used for commercial businesses also. The site to the east is currently used as a
Hardees Restaurant. The site is bounded to the south by U.S. Highway 70 (Cedar Street).
Southwest across the Cedar Street right of way, the North River Club maintains their offices, and
directly south of the site is a vacant parking lot to be used for addition parking if necessary.
Adjacent to the west is Highway 70, and the Grayden Paul Bridge.
Zoning on the site is classified as B3 by the Town of Beaufort. This classification allows the site
to be used for various marine activities including, commercial boat docks, boat repair facilities,
boat sales, marine service, boat storage, ect. The site also carries the CAMA designated
developed classification, which provides for the continued intensive development and
redevelopment of the land.
The site's upland area adjacent to the marina basin consists of 1.36 acres including one main
commercial fish packing building, gravel/dirt parking lot, loading dock, and storage. The project
is located on Town Creek adjacent to the Grayden Paul Bridge.
DA Wetlands
The project site contains both coastal wetlands and 404 marsh/wetlands. Both types are located
along the western shoreline that has remained unprotected by sheet -pile. The coastal wetlands
area is approximately 16,680 square feet in size. The 404 marsh area abuts the southern side of
the coastal marsh and is approximately 7,593 square feet in size.
Species of wetland plants present at the site include Black Needlerush, Smooth Cord Grass, Salt
grass, and Giant Cord grass. According to the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management
these wetlands species serve several purposes. The plants and seeds of many wetland species
provide food and nesting for birds and other wildlife. These plants also help prevent erosion.
Their leaves and stems dissipate wave energy, and their root systems help stabilize soils against
movement. Estuarine plants also trap debris and excess nutrients, protect the water from excess
sediment and pollutants, and help regulate the flow of fresh water into the estuary, maintaining
the system's balance.
D.5 Prime or Unique Agricultural Lands
There are no prime agricultural lands near or adjacent to the site.

D.6 Public Lands and Scenic, Recreational, and State Natural Areas
Although the waters and natural submerged bottomlands in the project area are under the
jurisdiction of the N.C. Division of Coastal Management as Public Trust Waters, and are
considered to be the property of the state of North Carolina, the developer has a right of riparian
access to these waters.
The Newport River estuary is located northwest of the proposed project area. It provides scenic
and recreation resources for sport fishing, sailing, and other boats that access the recreational
activities provided by the water surrounding Carteret County. There is also a designated Federal
Harbor of Refuge located within the center of Beaufort Town creek. This federal basin is
maintained by the US Army Corps of Engineers.
D.7 Areas of Archaeological or Historical Value
There are no known archeological or historic resources in the project area. According to the
current owner Tony Frost the site has been used as a commercial fishing business since the early
1940s. Prior to it being purchased by Homer Smith in 1972 it was owned by the Lambert family.
It currently supports an existing dock for commercial fishing boats, a fish packing building, and
gravel driveway and parking areas. None of these structures or facilities is listed in the Beaufort
register of historic buildings although the property is located within the Beaufort Historical
District.
D.8 Air Quality
The Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Air Quality of the North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources has jurisdiction over air quality in Carteret
County. The county is in compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards according
to the Wilmington Regional Office. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(USEPA), Carteret County is in attainment for all criteria pollutants. The current sources of
emissions on site include commercial fishing boats, trucks parked at the loading dock
occasionally, and worker's vehicles.
D.9 Noise Levels
The site is adjacent to U.S. Highway 70 which runs through Beaufort and continues Down East.
Noise levels at the site are dominated by traffic on Highway 70. Moderate noise is also generated
by the fishing boats docked on site.
D.10 Water Resources
Groundwater at the site is tidally influenced and is expected to occur within depths varying from
2 feet or greater from the surface based on the topography of the site. There are two existing
wells on site that provide potable water to the facility. The ground water at the site is also tested
yearly from two existing monitoring wells that were installed to detect any underground
contamination from the old gas station site located across the street in what is now the North
River Club office. There are no surface or subsurface stormwater water disposal systems at the
site. Currently sewer service is provided by the Town of Beaufort.

n
The proposed project is located in sub -basin 03-05-03 of the White Oak River Basin in Town
Creek. The stream classification is SC and the Index # is 21-33a. Currently Town Creek is closed
to shellfish harvesting. The local Shellfish Branch also tests the creek weekly during the
swimming season (April — October 31 ") for high bacteria levels. If high levels are detected then
a swimming advisory is issued and testing is continued until bacteria level drops. The last
swimming advisory that was issued was on April 171h of 2007 due to high enterrococcus levels.
The following day, April 18 the advisory was canceled after subsequent testing found lower
levels. According to the Basinwide Planning Program, May 2007 White Oak River Basinwide
Water Quality Plan, Chapter 3, Town creek is impaired for recreation due to enterrococcus
levels.
Aquifers located at the site include the Yorktown Aquifer and the Castle Hayne Aquifer.
D.11 Forest Resources
There are a few scattered small cedars trees located towards the western property boundary on
the site. Other than these there is no significant forest resource on site.
D.12 Shellfish or Fish and Their Habitats
Shellfish
The shellfish and fish habitat at the site contains estuarine mud flats within both the subtidal and
intertidal areas of Town Creek. The subtidal area consists of approximately 5.88 acres, with
water depths ranging from 0 to 14 feet at normal low tide. The intertidal area consists of roughly
.5 acres, with intertidal coastal marsh composing the majority. The majority off the riparian area
at the site has a sandy substrate with small areas of softer muck substrate in the deeper water.
One third of the shoreline is protected with concrete bulkheads while the remaining amount
consists of intertidal coastal wetlands and 404 marshes.
Subtidal substrate provides habitat for finfish species such as pinfish, spot, Atlantic croaker,
oyster toadfish, and others. Blue crabs, ribbed mussels, and shrimp such as brown, pink, and
white shrimp may also colonize this habitat. The intertidal area is utilized by oysters, hard clams,
and fiddler crabs, as well as subtidal species during high tides.
The attached survey of the subtidal and intertidal areas was performed by Land Management Inc
on February 141h and 15`h, 2008 using a standard clam rake to sample 118, one meter square plots
fro a total of 4.7 acres. Bottom samples of both subsurface areas were taken, and shellfish were
counted and marked with GPS coordinates. Water depths ranged from 0 to -4 ft MLW. A total of
35 clams were collected from the 118 sample plots. Clam densities were significantly lower than
the DMF Significant Shellfish Resource threshold of 1 clam per sample plot or 10 bushels per
acre. Significant oysters were encountered on the western intertidal area of the site adjacent to
the shoreline. The oyster population can be classified as a Significant Shellfish Resource if
deemed appropriate by the DMF.
VA

The Beaufort Town Creek and surrounding areas, from Gallants channel to Taylors Creek are
permanently closed to shellfishing. Waters in the area are classified as SC.
Fish
The South Atlantic and the National Marine Fisheries Service along with NOAA identify a
variety of Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) types that may be present at the site. These include
Estuarine and Marine emergent wetlands, Subtidal and Intertidal non -vegetated flats, Oyster
reefs and shell banks, and high salinity bay. These habitats are home to several species of
shrimp, red drum, gray snapper, summer flounder, spanish mackerel, and bluefish. The Center
for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment branch of NOAA also identifies the specific times of
year these species can be found in abundance within Bogue Sound and surrounding inlets. See

The majority of the project area contains subtidal and intertidal non -vegetated flats located along
the entire shoreline. The estuarine emergent wetlands comprise 21,780 square feet (.5 acres) of
the project area. There is one small area of oyster reef located on the western shoreline of the

site. Scattered colonizing oysters are located in this area. The predominant substrate is mainly
sandy bottom along the shoreline on site. These habitats are home to several species of shrimp,
red drum, gray snapper, summer flounder, spanish mackerel, and bluefish. In the attached
appendix The Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment branch of NOAA also identifies
the specific times of year these species can be found in abundance within Bogue Sound and
surrounding inlets.
D.13 Wildlife and Natural Vegetation
Vegetation on the project site primarily consists of grasses and small wild species such as
ragweed, goldenrod, and white clover. Scattered cedar trees comprise the dominant woody
vegetation. Terrestrial wildlife is expected to consist of opportunistic species such as raccoon,
black rat, hispid cotton rat, house sparrow, ring -billed gull, and blue rock pigeon.
The estuarine habitat consists of subtidal and intertidal sandy silt, with a large pocket of marsh
comprised mainly of black needle thrush and giant cord grass. Along the wetland edges, great
egret, double crested cormorant, common tern, and mallard may forage for food.
Species with Federal classifications of Endangered or Threatened are protected under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973. The list of federally protected species for Carteret County as
updated by the US Fish and Wildlife Service on January 31", 2008 is provided in Table 4. The
effects to the species are estimated in the Biological Conclusion column. Detailed descriptions of
Endangered and Threatened species and their Biological conclusions are provided in E.13 and

E. PREDICTED ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
E.1 Topography
The project is not expected to significantly alter the topography of the site or change the
characteristics of the floodplain area.
E.2 Soils
Only minor grading is proposed for the upland portions of the site to construct the driveway and
associated parking lot. It is not anticipated that the project will have a negative impact on soils
besides compaction in construction areas. Existing impervious area on site totals 40,790 square
feet. Total impervious surfaces will be reduced by approximately 10,320 square feet from the
removal of existing buildings, gravel and paved parking, and the construction of grass parking
islands within the proposed parking lot. Following this reduction the marina's total impervious
area will be 30,470 square feet. This is a net decrease of about 25 % of the total impervious area
on site.
E.3 Land Use
The project is consistent with the CAMA Land Use Plan for the Town of Beaufort as updated
and adopted on December 11 `h, 2006. In section 4.1 of the Land Use Plan the Town lists its use
and developmental goals based upon the current concerns and aspirations of the town. The land
use goals that the site will impact are listed below.
a. Public Water Access: Provide adequate opportunities for public access to coastal
waters. The town of Beaufort's policy is to favor projects that will result in an increase in the
public's ability to have access to coastal waters. In the sites current use no public access to the
water is provided. The new marina will be commercial in nature, but after the project is complete
fuel and boat slip rental spots will be provided to the transient boating public. This will allow
boaters access to more marina services.
b. Land Use Compatibility: Promote land use and land development that is compatible
with land suitability. Currently the site is zoned as B3 for commercial waterfront. The project
will require no change in zoning and be suitable to the land functional purposes.
c. Infrastructure Carrying Capacity: Promote land use and public infrastructure
development that is compatible with land suitability as well as capabilities to provide requisite
public services. Water will be provided by the two existing wells located on site. Wastewater
will be treated by the Town of Beaufort. Presently traffic accesses the site from Highway 70. The
proposed access will also be from Highway 70 using existing driveways. The main buildings that
are located on the site currently will be removed which will reduce the total requirement for
public services. Potable water will be supplied to the project by the Town of Beaufort. According
to the most recent Land Use Plan Update (The Wooten Company 2006), the town's present water
treatment capacity is 2.304 million gallons per day. The projected average water use by the year
2030 is expected to reach 1.002 million gallons per day. The average daily demand is not
projected to exceed 27 percent of supply through 2050.

The project will not result in adverse impacts to land at the site.
EA Wetlands
The proposed excavation area and docks are adjacent to the existing bulkhead and shoreline. To
the west of the site there is an area of wetlands as delineated on the attached plat. The area is
comprised of both 404 Wetlands and Coastal Marsh.
There are three proposed 8 foot wide marina docks and a walkway that will cross the marsh and
shoreline as they travel over the inter -tidal area. The docks will maintain the CAMA designated
3 foot height above all coastal wetland substrate. The area of marsh that will be affected by these
crossings is approximately 1500 square feet.
Direct impacts to the marsh will be minor due to the fact that dredging and excavation will be
kept a minimum of 10 feet from all wetlands areas. All dredging will also maintain at least a 3:1
slope on bottom contours sloping up to wetlands areas. The 3:1 slope will be attained by parallel
hydraulic dredging instead of cut and slough dredging to minimize the possibility of the existing
wetlands areas becoming undermined. Indirect impacts from boat wake turbulence will also be
mitigated as the marina's main access channel will be located a least 275 feet offshore. The
minimum distance that any boat slip is located to the wetlands area will be about 10 to 15 feet.
The project is not expected to have any significant negative impacts on wetland areas.
E.5 Prime or Unique Agricultural Lands
Not Applicable
E.6 Public Lands and Scenic, Recreational, and State Natural Areas
The marina is projected to occupy about 3.29 acres of Public Trust Waters. The project will be
located so that the riparian rights of the adjacent property owners will be maintained. The
CAMA approved riparian lines have been drawn on the site plan depicted in Appendix D.
Impacts to pubic trust areas are measured in terms of the water area used for dock and boat slip
construction. The construction of the docks and piers will shade 38,819 square feet (.89 acres) of
Public Trust Waters. The proposed boat slips are projected to occupy 141,000 square feet (2.4
acres) of Public Trust Waters.
There is no associated impact to the federal harbor of refuge that is located in the center of
Beaufort Town creek. The nearest point of construction is approximately 225 feet from the
federally maintained basin.
There are no existing public lands or state natural areas adjacent to the proposed site. The project
is not expected to have significant impact upon either.
Recreationally the site is seldom used due to the commercial and transient boat traffic within the
area. The project itself will redevelop the commercial fish packing operation into a recreational
12

boating marina. The impact upon the recreational usage of the area is expected to be positive
because of this.
E.7 Areas of Archaeological or Historical Value
Not Applicable
E.8 Air Quality
During construction short term emissions of pollutants into the air will occur as a result of the
operation of construction equipment. Emissions associated with customary boat usage and by
diesel and gasoline engines operating in the marina is not expected to significantly increase
ambient levels of airborne pollutants. Additionally, airborne emissions at the site are not
expected to exceed the current emissions level created by existing commercial fishing vessels.
The project is not expected to have significant adverse impacts on air quality.
E.9 Noise Levels
During construction there will be temporary increases in noise levels at the site. The highest
levels of noise will be during daytime working hours. Upon completion of the marina noise
levels from recreational boat traffic is not expected to exceed levels currently common to the
area.
The project is not expected to have significant adverse impacts on noise levels.
E.10 Water Resources
Construction of the marina will require dredging that will temporarily suspend silt and sediments
in the water column. This is expected to be very short term(less than 1 day) due to diurnal tidal
flushing. Concentrations of sediments or other constituents will be quickly dissipated upon
completion of this phase of construction. All dredging will comply with the existing moratorium
dates and turbidity curtains will be used to mitigate sediment impacts in the water column.
Sediment samples will be taken prior to dredging if deemed necessary by the regulating
agencies. The Division of Environmental health will also be notified of any dredging activities
that are scheduled to occur.
The proposed dredging in the marina basin will match bottom contours currently utilized by the
commercial fishing docks. The depth of the dredging shall be limited to areas shallower than 6
feet. The dredging area itself is bisected by the existing main channel which has a depth from 10
to 14 feet. This channel will prevent stagnation and ensure that tidal flushing is effective and
efficient at improving circulation. Future maintenance dredging plans will comply with any
agency regulations to ensure that potential negative impacts can be avoided. Preliminary
information provided by the current commercial seafood operation indicates that potential
shoaling in the project area is not historically significant.
There are no upland sources of water currently at the site. Existing stormwater runoff sheet flows
off of the site into Town Creek. The proposed parking lot construction will include stormwater
13

collection to prevent discharges into open water. All upland construction will be in accordance
with an approved Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan.
Wastewater generated at the marina facilities will be discharged into and treated by the city
sewer system. A new boat pumpout system will be installed at the marina using equipment
designed to minimize pipe breakage or system failure. This system will be installed with a series
of check valves to prevent unwanted discharges greater than what may be stored in the force
main pipe downstream of the check valve. The marina will be a locked head facility and will
have strict regulations in the slip lease contracts that prohibit discharge of head and bilge tanks
into inshore waters at the docks. Enforcement action will be put in place in lease contracts for
violation of the locked head policy. The project will also actively seek to enroll in and meet the
standards set forth by the Clean Marina Program.
No additional water wells are proposed for the site. Boat wash down, landscaping, other non -
potable uses of water will utilize the 2 existing wells located on site. The attached records for the
existing monitoring wells on site indicate that no contamination has been detected during testing
by Henry Nemargut Engineering Services located in Wilmington. Potable water will be supplied
to the project by the Town of Beaufort. The town's present water treatment capacity is 2.304
million gallons per day. The projected average water use by the year 2030 is expected to reach
1.002 million gallons per day. The average daily demand is not projected to exceed 27 percent of
supply through 2050.
The project is not expected to result in negative impacts to water quality nor will the project have
an adverse impact on the area's water supplies.
E.11 Forest Resources
The small number of cedar trees located on the site will not be impacted.
E.12 Shellfish or Fish and Their Habitats
All intertidal areas will be avoided during dredging. These areas will remain unaffected. The
subtidal areas will be dredged to accommodate deeper draft vessels: Most of this area is currently
dominated by subtidal species such as spot, croaker, and pinfish. These species will largely be
unaffected by the dredging changes. Mud bottom species including blue crabs and shrimp may
recolonize these zones upon completion of dredging.
Essential fish habitats identified by NOAA and the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council
are provided in D.12. The project is not expected to result in significant adverse impacts to
fishery resources or habitats in the area. The areas of excavation and dredging avoid all wetlands
habitats in addition to the predominant oyster bed on the western shoreline of the site. These
small habitats play an ecological role in water filtration, are home to several juvenile and adult
shrimp and fish species, and as such will be avoided during construction.
Impacts within the dredging area will result in the short term loss of scattered hard clams as
detailed in the shellfish survey. Although not deemed a significant resource these hard clams are
14

expected to recolonize the area after the completion of dredging. The waters of Town creek,
Gallants Channel, and Taylor's Creek are permanently closed to shellfishing. No additional
shellfish closures will result from the project.
Long term impacts to fish and shellfish are not anticipated as a result of the project.
E.13 Wildlife and Natural Vegetation
Upland portions of the site currently provide little or no habitat for terrestrial wildlife other than
to support opportunistic species that may forage in the area. The avoidance of both wetlands
areas and oyster beds during construction will result in little negative impact on habitat on site.
In addition the removal of all major buildings and about half of all impervious surfaces will
allow vegetation to be planted in several new areas on site.
No federally protected species are known to occur on site. Transient marine species such as the
West Indian Manatee and several species of sea turtle have been noted within several miles of
the project. Federal guidelines for avoidance of manatees and sea turtles will be adhered to
during construction to mitigate any harm that might arise from contact with these endangered
species. In addition the existing moratorium on dredging during the juvenile shrimp and fin fish
season from April to September 30"' will mitigate any addition unforeseen negative impacts that
could arise during construction.

E.14 Introduction of Toxic Substances
During preliminary project planning an environmental engineering firm was contacted to provide
a potential marine sediment analysis. If deemed necessary the firm will be contracted to do a
detailed chemical analysis to identify any potential contaminants that might be present in
existing marine sediments within the project area. The onsite presence of two monitoring wells
will also help mitigate any possible water contamination.
The marina will have dockage for up to 235 boats. Approximately half of these boat slips will
utilize boat lifts to store vessels out of the water. This will help mitigate the leaching of bottom
paint compounds into area waters. In addition the, CCA compounds used in wood pilings may
contribute slightly to arsenic levels in the marine substrate. These constituents are expected to be
captured by the sediments with little likelihood of continual release that would be harmful to
humans or marine life. In a study completed by the USDA Forest Service the estimated total
amount of arsenic leached from a piling into seawater over 10 years was found to be less than
5% of the total amount used in treatment. (Leblow August 1999)
Dredging of the basin will result in bottom contours that slope toward the main navigation
channel. Improved flushing and dilution of introduced elements will occur on a twice daily
frequency, minimizing the presence of toxic compounds in the basin and surrounding waters.
E.15 Cumulative Impacts
The council on environmental quality has defined cumulative effects as "those impacts on the
environment that result from the incremental impact of the action when added to other past,
present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions. (40CFR 1508.7).
Water quality at the site will be impacted temporarily on site due to dredging activities. Tidal
flushing will quickly dissipate concentrations of sediment and other constituents within this
column and water quality should be improved due to increased flushing and circulation in the
basin. The reduction of 25% of impervious surfaces at the site will also have a beneficial impact
on water quality due to the reduction off stormwater runoff. In addition the continued presence of
underground water monitoring wells on site will help identify any potential contamination
resulting from the project in the short and long term. If harmful constituents are identified actions
can be taken to ensure continued ground water quality. Cumulative impacts on water resources
on site are not expected to be significant.
All construction activities for the project are proposed to remain at least 10 feet from all wetlands
areas. The proposed walkways and piers that cross over the wetlands area will impact
approximately 1500 square feet of marsh area due to shading. In addition the oyster resource on
the western shoreline will also be avoided to mitigate any potential harm at the site. It is also
expected that the small hard clam resource identified within the shellfish survey will recolonize
the project area upon construction completion within the short term. Cumulative impacts to
wetlands and the shellfish resource during the project are not expected to be significant.
16

Due to the long history of development at the site, and the proximity of the project to a major
thoroughfare (US Highway 70) and other intensive residential and commercial development its is
not expected that any endangered species are located on site. The removal of existing buildings,
25% of impervious surfaces including gravel and pavement, and the planting of vegetation will
undoubtedly improve habitat for opportunistic species such as raccoons, ring billed gulls,
European starlings, sparrows, black rats, and others. All wetlands on site will remain intact
which will protect the habitats of marsh foraging species such as great egret, double crested
cormorant, common tern, pied billed grebe, and mallard. Significant impacts to wildlife and
vegetation are not expected to occur.
Public trust areas around the site are under utilized because of the nature of the existing
operation. Currently there are approximately 90 acres of public trust waters located within Town
Creek. Present development utilizes 4 acres of these public waters. The proposed project will add
another 3.29 acres of occupied public waters. The redevelopment of the property into
recreational usage will improve the public's access to marina facilities on site. Transient fueling
and rental pools will allow the general public to utilize the docks. Overall the appearance of the
site will improve due to removal of containers, discarded items, buildings, gravel, and pavement,
and the planting of vegetation for the project.
According to the CAMA land Use Plan for the Town of Beaufort as updated and adopted on
December 11, 2006 (The Wooten Company 2006), the development of the marina is in keeping
with the town of Beaufort's desired land use on site, the major goal of the Town to improve the
appearance of Cedar Street, the goal of improving public access to the water, and the goal of
protecting overall water quality and wetlands areas. In addition the use of existing water wells
onsite for landscaping, wash down, and non potable needs will mitigate the burden on the
existing Town's water supply infrastructure. Cumulative impacts to the public trust on site are
not expected to be significant.
In summary, development of Homer Smith Seafood into a recreational marina is expected to
make a positive overall contribution to the Town of Beaufort and Carteret County. Analysis of
the project suggests that overall negative cumulative impacts resulting from development of the
site will not be significant.
Ind IYIIMI►A9131DMINIII 8C;
The project will include the following measures to minimize adverse impacts to the environment
within Town creek and surrounding areas.
• All wetlands areas on site will remain intact and be protected from development activities
by maintaining at least a 10 foot buffer from construction and ensuring that a slope of at
3:1 is utilized on all bottom contours. Parallel hydraulic dredging techniques will be
utilized instead of "cut and slough dredging techniques" in order to avoid undermining of
existing wetlands.
17

The developer proposes the removal of existing buildings, existing gravel and pavement,
and existing concrete for a total decrease in impervious surfaces of 25% (10,320 square
feet) upon completion of the project.
The marina facilities will be equipped with a sewer pumpout system to promote boater
use and minimize discharge of wastewater from boats into the adjacent waters. A locked
head policy will be put in place with strict enforcement action in slip leases to prevent
bilge and head discharges. The sewer pump out will be closely monitored to ensure that it
is properly utilized.
• The Developer has contacted an independent environmental engineering firm to perform
a detailed chemical analysis of marine sediments prior to dredging
• The marina will seek to enroll in the NC Clean Marina program and meet all standards in
order to maintain the Clean Marina status.
• The marina basin is open water subject to tidal flushing and avoids the water quality
problems associated with upland basins. In addition dredging will result in bottom
contours shallower than and sloping towards the main access channel to prevent
stagnation and promote complete tidal flushing of the marina.
• The project is to be located in an area of water classification (SC) in which the Division
of Water Quality prefer marinas as opposed to SA and SB waters.
• The reduction in impervious surfaces will also allow the developer to replant much of the
site with vegetation.
• Dredging within the basin will occur during the winter months to avoid the juvenile
shellfish and finfish season from May thru September.
• US Fish and Wildlife Service manatee and turtle avoidance guidelines during
construction will be distributed and adhered to on site.

H. EXHIBITS
Appendix A: Endangered Species
American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis)
Threatened due to Similarity of Appearance
Family: Alligatoridae
Date Listed: Marchl1, 1967
Date Delisted: June 04, 1987
American alligator is listed as threatened based on the similarity in appearance to other federally -
listed crocodilians; however, there are no other crocodilians within North Carolina. American
alligators can be found in a variety of freshwater to estuarine aquatic habitats including swamp
forests, marshes, large streams and canals, and ponds and lakes.
T (S/A) species are not subject to Section 7 consultation and a biological conclusion for this
species is not required. However, potential habitat for American alligator does not exist within
Site. No impact to American alligator is anticipated as a result of the Project.
Eastern cougar (Fells concolor)
Endangered
Family: Felidae
Date Listed: 6/4/73
The eastern cougar is described as a large, unspotted, long-tailed cat. Its body and legs are a
uniform fulvous or tawny hue. Its belly is pale reddish or reddish white. The inside of this cat's
ears are light-colored, with blackish color behind the ears. Sometimes the cougar's face has a
uniformly lighter tint than the general hue of the body (De Kay 1842). Cougars feed primarily on
deer, but their diet may also include small mammals, wild turkeys, and occasionally domestic
livestock, when available.
No preference for specific habitat types has been noted. The primary need is apparently for a
large wilderness area with an adequate food supply. Male cougars of other subspecies have been
observed to occupy a range of 25 or more square miles, and females from 5 to 20 square miles.
The eastern cougar has been hunted and trapped relentlessly as a pest. Much of its habitat has
been eliminated through extensive deforestation, and its primary prey, the white- tailed deer, has
suffered significant population and range reductions.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION.
NO EFFECT
No habitat for the eastern cougar exists within or near the Site. The North Carolina Natural
Heritage Program (NCNHP) lists no occurrences of this species within 5.0 miles of the Site.
The Project will not affect the eastern cougar.

Green sea turtle (Chelonla mydas)
Threatened
Family: Cheloniidae
Date Listed: July 28, 1978
The green sea turtle is a medium to large turtle (30 to 60 inches long, 220 to 650 pounds in
weight) with a smooth, heart -shaped shell (Martof et at 1980). Adults are believed to be
primarily herbivorous (including jelly fish) while the young are believed to be primarily
carnivorous. The green sea turtle is most commonly found in the Caribbean where it breeds,
although individuals, usually immature, are occasionally found as far north as the North Carolina
coast. Preferred nesting habitat is ocean -fronting beaches.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: MAYAFFECT, NOT LIKELY TO AD VERSEL YAFFECT
No habitat for the green sea turtle exists within or near the Site. The North Carolina Natural
Heritage Program (NCNHP) lists no occurrences of this species within 5.0 miles of the Site.
The Project will not affect the green sea turtle.
Hawksbill sea turtle (Eretmochelys imhricata)
Endangered
Family: Cheloniidae
Date Listed: June 2, 1970
The hawksbill is a medium-sized turtle (carapace length of 30 to 35 inches and a maximum of 58
pounds) with a carapace characterized by red, yellow, brown, and black streaking. This is a
primarily oceanic turtle whose population center is the Caribbean, and it rarely ranges as far
north as North Carolina (Martof et aL 1980). Of the eight recent records of hawksbill in North
Carolina, only one was from inland waters, the Pamlico Sound. Preferred food of the hawksbill
includes marine plants and invertebrates (Palmer and Braswell 1995). The hawksbill generally
nests on sandy tropical beaches.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION.- MAYAFFECT, NOTLIKELYTOADVERSELYAFFECT
No habitat for the hawksbill sea turtle exists within or near the Site. The North Carolina Natural
Heritage Program (NCNHP) lists no occurrences of this species within 5.0 miles of the Site.
The Project will not affect the hawksbill sea turtle.
Kemp's ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys kemph)
Endangered
Family: Cheloniidae
Date Listed: December 2, 1970
22

The Kemp's ridley sea turtle is the smallest of the sea turtles (23-to 30-inch carapace, 79to 110
lbs) and is generally considered the most endangered species of sea turtle in the world (Palmer
and Braswell 1995). This species ranges from the Gulf of Mexico and the east coast, to Nova
Scotia and Europe. In addition to its small size, this species is discernible by the heart shaped
carapace and gray coloration. Kemp's ridley prefers shallow coastal waters, including sounds
and the lower portions of large rivers, where it feeds on crabs, shrimp, snails, clams, and some
saltwater plants. Nearly all members of this species are believed to nest on a short strand of
ocean beach in the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico. Only a single nesting record exists for North
Carolina, on Long Beach in Brunswick County (1992). The nearest suitable nesting habitat for
this species is the Outer Banks ocean beaches.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: MAYAFFECT, NOT LIKELY TO AD VERSEL YAFFECT
No habitat for the Kemp's ridley sea turtle exists within or near the Site. The North Carolina
Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) lists no occurrences of this species within 5.0 miles of the
Site. The Project will not affect the Kemp's ridley sea turtle.
Leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea)
Endangered
Family: Chelonfldae
Date Listed: June 2, 1970
The leatherback turtle is distinguished by its large size (46- to 70-inch carapace, 650 to 1,500
lbs) and a shell of soft, leathery skin. This species is primarily tropical in nature, but the range
may extend to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland (Palmer and Braswell 1995, Martof et al. 1980).
The leatherback is a powerful swimmer, often seen far from land; however, it sometimes moves
into shallow bays, estuaries, and even river mouths. Its preferred food is jellyfish, although the
diet includes other sea animals and seaweed. The leatherback generally nests on sandy, tropical
beaches.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION. MAYAFFECT, NOT LIKELY TO ADVERSELYAFFECT
No habitat for the leatherback sea turtle exists within or near the Site. The North Carolina
Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) lists no occurrences of this species within 5.0 miles of the
Site. The Project will not affect the leatherback sea turtle.
Loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta)
Threatened
Family: Cheloniidae
Date Listed: July 28, 1978
The loggerhead sea turtle is the most common sea turtle on the coast of the Carolinas. This
species averages 31 to 47 inches in length and weighs from 170 to 500 pounds (Martof 1980).
23

The loggerhead is basically temperate or subtropical in nature, and is primarily oceanic, but may
also be found in estuarine bays, sounds, and large coastal rivers. This species occurs along the
coast of North Carolina from late April to October. Preferred nesting habitat is ocean beaches,
generally south of Cape Lookout. Traditionally, the largest concentration of loggerhead nests
each year is on Smith Island, at the mouth of the Cape Fear River (Palmer and Braswell 1995).
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: MAYAFFECT, NOT LIKELY TO ADVERSELYAFFECT
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) lists three occurrences of this species
within 5.0 miles of the Site, along the oceanfront at Bogue Banks. The occurrences are at 4.0
miles southwest, 1.8 miles south, and 2.3 miles southeast. However, the marine foraging habitat
and sandy beach nesting habitat required by this species does not occur in or near the Site. The
Project will not affect the leatherback sea turtle.
West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus)
Endangered
Family: Trichechidae
Date Listed: March 11, 1967
The manatee is a large, gray or brown aquatic mammal that averages 10 to 13 feet in length and
weighs up to 1,000 pounds. This species occurs from Brazil to the West Indies to the east coast
of the United States. During summer months manatees migrate from their Florida wintering areas
as far north as coastal Virginia. Reported occurrences in North Carolina are greatest from June to
October. These mammals inhabit warm waters, both fresh and salt, where their diet consists
mostly of aquatic vegetation (Limey 1998, Clark 1987, Webster 1985).
The USFWS has developed recommendations for general construction activities in aquatic areas
which may be used by the manatee (USFWS memo dated July 2, 1995 and included at the end of
this listing). The USFWS directs that construction which can be completed in several months be
scheduled during the seven month period of November through May. The USFWS also makes a
series of recommendations pertaining to construction and the manatee, some of which are
summarized as follows: 1) construction managers should advise all construction personnel to be
aware of the possibility of manatee appearance and the legal obligation to avoid harassment of
the species; 2) construction personnel will watch for manatee sightings and be prepared to shut
down equipment if one is made; 3) any sightings or contact with manatees will be reported to the
appropriate natural resource agencies (USFWS, NCWRC); 4) a sign will be posted providing
instructions to equipment operators in case a manatee is sighted; 5) special steps will be taken on
site concerning operations during the no -blast moratorium period, such as guidelines for
operating water craft and placement of siltation barriers.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: MAYAFFECT, NOT LIKEL Y TO AD VERSEL YA FFECT
The NCMHP records five occurrences of the West Indian Manatee within 5.0 miles of the Site.
The closest occurrence was recorded 0.2 miles northeast of the Site within the Yacht Basin.
Other occurrences have been recorded 2.0 miles southeast in Fort Macon Creek, 2.4 miles
24

southwest off Bogue Banks, 2.4 miles east near Town Marsh, and 4.3 miles west at Peletier
Creek. The Public Trust Waters at the Site may contain marginal habitat for the West Indian
manatee, although submerged aquatic vegetation is absent from the immediate area. Manatees
may be present near the Site during the summer months as they move from one foraging area to
another. No manatees were observed during a June 7, 2005 field visit to the Site. If any
construction associated with the Project will follow the guidelines prepared by the USFWS to
avoid impacts to the manatee, the Project is unlikely to affect the West Indian manatee.
Piping plover (Charadrius melodus)
Threatened
Family: Charadriidae
Date Listed: December 11, 1985
Piping plovers are the smallest of the plovers found in the Carolinas, measuring only 6 to 8
inches in length (Golder and Parnell 1987). This species is characterized by a white head and
back and white breast and belly, yellow legs, narrow black neck band and a narrow band above
the eyes, and a black bill in the winter and yellow and black bill in the summer (Potter 1980).
These small Nearctic birds occur along beaches above the high tide line, sand flats at the ends of
sand spits and barrier islands, gently sloping foredunes, blowout areas behind primary dunes, and
washover areas cut into or between dunes (Dyer 1987). Nests are most often on open, wide,
sandy stretches of beach similar to those associated with inlets and capes.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION. NO EFFECT
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) lists two occurrences of this species
within 5.0 miles of the Site. One record is approximately 2.9 miles southeast of the Site at Town
Marsh, and a historic record (more than 20 years old) is located 3.3 miles southeast at
Shackleford Banks. However, the ocean beach habitat required by this species does not occur in
or near the Site. The Project will not affect the piping plover.
Red -cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis)
Endangered
Family: Picidae
Date Listed: October 13, 1970
This small woodpecker (7 to 8.5 inches long) has a black head, prominent white cheek patches,
and a black -and -white barred back. Males often have red markings (cockades) behind the eye,
but the cockades may be absent or difficult to see (Potter 1980). Primary habitat consists of
mature to over -mature southern pine forests dominated by loblolly (Pinus taeda), long -leaf (P.
paiustris), slash (P. elliottli), and pond (P. serotina) pines (Thompson and Baker 1971). Nest
cavities are constructed in the heartwood of living pines, generally older than 70 years that have
been infected with red -heart disease. Nest cavity trees tend to occur in clusters, which are
referred to as colonies (USFWS 1985). The woodpecker drills holes into the bark around the
cavity entrance, resulting in a shiny, resinous buildup around the entrance that allows for easy
detection of active nest trees. Pine flatwoods or pine -dominated savannas which have been
25

maintained by frequent natural or prescribed fires serve as ideal nesting and foraging sites for
this woodpecker. Development of a thick understory may result in abandonment of cavity trees.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION;
NO EFFECT
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) lists one historic occurrence of the
redcockaded woodpecker within 5.0 miles of the Site, approximately 4.9 miles northwest within
the Croatan National Forest. The open pine forest habitat favored by this species does not occur
in or near the Site. The Project will not affect the red -cockaded woodpecker.
Roseate tern (Sterna riougallh)
Endangered
Family: Sternidae
Date Listed: November 2, 1987
The roseate tern is a medium- sized tern, 14 to 17 inches long. In breeding plumage, it has a
black bill and cap, light gray mantle, red legs, and a long, deeply -forked white tail which exceeds
the wing length when the bird is at rest. Tern prey consists of small coastal fish which are caught
by diving into the water from the air. The roseate tern is a rare North Carolina coastal migrant
from late March to mid May and from late July to October (Potter of al. 1980). The nest of this
colonial ground -nesting seabird is generally a depression on open sand with shells or grasses,
usually on the upper beach or dune areas. This species nested in Carteret County in 1973 (Potter
et al. 1980). North Carolina is located at the southern limit of the roseate tern breeding range and
is directly in the migratory path. Roseate terns migrate from their breeding grounds on the
northeastern North American coast to southern Florida through the Antilles and coastal Brazil.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION. NO EFFECT
No nesting habitat for the roseate exists within or near the Site. The tern may find marginal
foraging habitat near the Site during nesting or migration periods. The North Carolina Natural
Heritage Program (NCNHP) lists no occurrences of this species within 5.0 miles of the Site. If
roseate terns are present during Project construction, they may be affected by short-term
disturbance. However, no long-term effects are expected to the roseate tern or its habitat as a
result of the Project.
Shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser breviro strum)
Endangered
Family: Acipenseridae
Date Listed: March 11, 1967
The shormose sturgeon is a bottom -feeding fish that rarely exceeds 3 feet in length. This species
has a heterocercal tail; an inferior, protruding mouth proceeded by barbels and a body covered
with rows of bony scutes (Ross 1997). Adults have a short, blunt snout; the body is brown to
W

blackish dorsally, yellowish on the sides, and white ventrally (USFWS 1993a). The usual habitat
is estuaries and lower sections of large rivers. The sturgeon is anadromous, spending most of the
year in brackish estuarine environments and moving into fresh water only when spawning
(Gilbert 1989). This species occurs in Atlantic seaboard rivers from the St. Johns River, Florida,
to eastern Canada. Currently, the Lower Cape Fear River drainage area may contain North
Carolina's only self-sustaining population of shortnose sturgeon (Ross 1997).
BIOLOGICAL CONCL USION.• MAYAFFECT, NOT LIKELY TO ADVERSELYAFFECT
The NCNHP records one historic record of the shortnose sturgeon within 5.0 miles of the Site,
approximately 2.8 miles southeast in Onslow Bay. Waters near the Site may support foraging
habitat for shortnose sturgeon during periods when they inhabit coastal waters (non -spawning
seasons). If in -water construction occurs during the spawning season (February 1 to June 15),
any possible effects to shortnose sturgeon will likely be avoided.
Rough -leaved loosestrife (Lysimachia asperulaefolia)
Endangered
Family: Primulaceae
Date Listed: June 12, 1987
Rough -leaved loosestrife is a rhizomatous perennial with erect stems 1 to 2 inches tall. Leaves
are sessile in whorls of 3 or 4, broadest at the base, and have three prominent veins. The leaf
margins are entire and slightly revolute. Flowers are yellow and bisexual, and usually have five
petals that flower from late May to June. Seeds form in August and the small round capsules,
surrounded by the persistent calyx, dehisce in October (Godfrey and Wooten 1981). Populations
also reproduce asexually from rhizomes, with rhizomes producing several shoots. Rough -leaved
loosestrife is endemic to the Coastal Plain and Sandhills regions of the Carolinas. Kral (1983)
indicates that rough -leaved loosestrife is typically found growing in black sandy peats or sands
with a high organic content. Rough -leaved loosestrife typically occurs along the ecotone between
long -leaf pine savannas and wetter, shrubby areas where lack of canopy vegetation allows
abundant sunlight into the herbaceous layer. This species is fire maintained, and suppression of
naturally occurring fires has contributed to the loss of habitat in our state. In the absence of fire,
rough -leaved loosestrife may persist for several years in an area with dense shrub encroachment;
however, reproduction is reported to be suppressed under these conditions, leading to eventual
local extirpation (USFWS 1995). Because rough -leaved loosestrife is an obligate wetland
species, drainage of habitat also has an adverse effect on the plant (FWS 1994). Habitats where
rough -leaved loosestrife have been found are low and high pocosin, wet pine flatwoods, pine
savanna, streamhead pocosins, and sandhill seeps (Schafale and Weakley, 1990), as well as peaty
pond margins, and disturbed sites such as roadside depressions, power line right-of-ways, and
firebreaks (FWS 1994).
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION.
27
NO EFFECT

The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) lists no occurrences of rough -leaved
loosestrife within 5.0 miles of the Site. As no vegetated wetlands are located on the Site, habitat
required by this species does not occur. The Project will not affect rough -leaved loosestrife.
Seabeach amaranth (Amaranthus pumilus)
Threatened
Family: Amaranthaceae
Date Listed: April 7, 1993
Seabeach amaranth is a low -growing, fleshy, annual herb. The spatula -shaped leaves are pink
and range from 0.5 to 1.0 inch in diameter. The leaves are clustered near the end of the stem and
are notched apically. Flowers and fruits are inconspicuous, and occur along the stem. This plant
is primarily found on foredunes and sand spits of Atlantic coast barrier beaches and inlets in
areas where periodic overwash eliminate vegetative competition. Some of the largest remaining
populations of this species occur in North Carolina (FWS 1993)b. This species has been
documented on sand spits on both sides of Beaufort Inlet and on Bird Shoal (NHP records).
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) lists twelve occurrences of seabeach
amaranth within 5.0 miles of the Site. Two records are located in Town Marsh, six records are
located on Bogue Banks, and four records are located on Shackleford Banks. The beach habitat
required by seabeach amaranth does not occur on or near the Site. The Project will not affect
seabeach amaranth.

Re: Shellfish and Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) Study for proposed
marina development located at Homer Smith Seafood in Beaufort, North
Carolina.
Mr. Cullipher:
Stroud Engineering contracted Land Management Group (LMG) in
February 2008 to conduct a shellfish and submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV)
study of the waters of Town Creek adjacent to Homer Smith Seafood located in
Beaufort, North Carolina. The purpose of this study was to attempt to quantify
the existing shellfish resource present in the adjacent waters and to determine if
that resource could be classified as significant using the standard shellfish
sampling protocol established by the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries
(DMF) and to determine if any SAV habitat is present within the vicinity of the
proposed dredging footprint. The site is located on the north side of Ceder Street
at the base of the Hwy 70 bridge as it enters Beaufort is comprised of one parcel
(PIN15 — 7306171224046000 or PDOT 4046) totaling 1.708 acres. Waters in the
vicinity of the survey site are classified as SC. This letter is intended to serve as
a brief summary report of the results of our survey.
LMG biologist conducted the study over a period of two days in February
2008. Sampling times were coordinated to coincide with low tide. DMF shellfish
sampling protocol dictates that 25, one meter square plot be sampled per acre of
bottom. Biologist used a standard clam rake to sample 118, one meter square
plots resulting in a total area of 4.7 acres of subtidal and intertidal sand bottom
sampled (Figure 1). Shellfish were collected and counted and a GPS coordinate
was collected for each sample plot. Water depths ranged from 0 to -4.0 ft.
Weather conditions both days were clear and cold with an average air
temperature or 45°F and an average water temperature of 500 F.

According to DMF shellfish sampling protocol, a Significant Shellfish
Resource is defined as one (1) clam per sample plot per acre. This equates to
10 bushels of clams per acre. A total of 35 clams were collected from 118
sample plots resulting in a total number of clams per acre that is less than the
DMF definition of a Significant Resource. Oysters were encountered in large
numbers in the intertidal zone along the southwest boundary line of southern
dredging footprint. The numbers of oysters and healthy condition of these
oysters will likely be deemed a significant resource by the DMF. This area will
need to be avoided or proposed to be relocated based on the current dredging
footprint. This area of Town Creek is closed to the public for commercial or
recreational shellfishing due to its polluted status but is still open to shellfish
transfer by the DMF. However, according to personal communications with DMF
staff, this does not immediately preclude development activities and any
proposed development within these transfer areas will be considered on a case
by case basis.
SAV was sampled concurrently with the shellfish sampling using the same
sample plots and a clam rake. Due to the timing of the sampling, SAV rhizomes
were the primary indicator used to identify the presence of SAV habitat. No SAV
rhizomes were encountered during the sampling period.

Mark Westendorff

ORIGINAL

I. STATE AND FEDERAL PERMITS REQUIRED
Construction of the Project will require a Coastal Area Management Act Major Development
Permit and is subject to the environmental review procedures of the North Carolina
Environmental Policy Act (NCEPA). The following permits will be required.
• Major CAMA Development Permit
• Minor CAMA Development Permit
• U.S. Army Corps of Engineers General Permit
After the required CAMA Major permit is obtained, construction of the project will require
approximately 6 months to complete.
The project does not involve expenditure of any public funds and will be partially built over state
owned submerged lands (Public Trust Waters).
Review of the CAMA Major Development Permit application by federal agencies is coordinated
by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Corps will review the application for compliance with
section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 which covers construction, dredging, filling,
and other work in navigable waters. The Corps will also review the application for compliance to
issue a General Permit for the project. The application will also be distributed to the USEPA, the
National Marine Fisheries Service, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for their review and
comment. In Addition copies of Environmental Assessment will be distributed to the North
Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources for review and comment.
