NC DOT - NC 903 Beaufort County Environmental setting During the early 1960'x, the NC-DOT established the Pamlico River Ferry in Beaufort County. The Ferry transverses the Pamlico River from Gaylords Bay just east of the Town of Bath on the north side of the river to the east of the Town of Aurora on the south side of the river. NC 306 is located at each ferry site. The north side consists of a bulkheaded basin with loading ramps and dolphin clusters. Also, riprap has been historically placed at both the west end and the east end of the bulkhead. At the east end a large area of Spartina cynosuroides marsh is present; upland development consists of a office complex, parking lots and a approach road. The south side site also consists of a bulkheaded basin with loading ramps and dolphin clusters. As with the north side some riprap is present at both of the east and west ends of the bulkhead. Also, at both ends of the bulkhead areas vegetated with Phragmites spp. are present; upland development on the south side consists of restrooms and a approach road. Project proposal (A) North Side - The applicant is proposing the following: (1) To construct ±585' of steel sheet pile bulkhead.

Box 27687 Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 ATTENTION: Mr. John Parker Dear Sir: DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS WILLIAM G. MARLEY, JR., P.E. STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATOR SUBJECT: Beaufort County, Pamlico River Ferry Basins near Bath (North Side) and Aurora (South Side) on NC 306, Proposed Bulkhead Replacement and Shoreline Stabilization, State Project No. 2.110013. The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to replace deteriorating bulkheads and provide additional shoreline stabilization at the Pamlico River ferry basins near Bath and Aurora on NC 306 in Beaufort County. Additional dolphin cluster piles are also proposed at each basin. North Side At the ferry basin on the north side of the Pamlico River, 585 feet of bulkhead replacement is proposed. The new bulkhead will extend into the water 31 feet from the face of the existing bulkhead, or 2 feet waterward of the existing support pilings (see sheet 5 of 8). The proposed bulkhead will consist of 12" wide steel sheet piling with a 2.5'x2.5' concrete cap. The area between the front of the existing bulkhead and the rear of the proposed piling will be filled with select backfill material supplied by a local borrow pit. A small stretch of existing bulkhead on the west end of the basin will not be replaced with a new bulkhead, but will be stabilized by the use of class II rip rap (see sheet 2 of 8). NCDOT does not believe that it is necessary to extend the more expensive bulkhead construction into this area. During a permit coordination meeting with Mr. Dave Gossett (DCM-Washington), concerns were raised over the amount of open water habitat that would be impacted by the rip rap in this area based on original plans to create a 3 foot flat cap at the top of the rip rap, and the use of 3:1 side slopes. NCDOT therefore agreed to delete the 3 foot flat cap and change the slope to 2:1 (see section A-A, sheet 4 of 8). This modification has resulted in an approximate 40% reduction in impact to waters of the U.S. at this site. On the east side of the north basin, rip rap will be used to stabilize a stretch of shoreline that is prone to erosion (see sheets 3 of 8, 4 of 8 section C-C). Without this stabilization, land behind the bulkhead could be eroded away, threatening the bulkhead structure. Again, the proposed slope has been changed from 3:1 to 2:1 to reduce impacts to waters of the U.S. In the area bordering the coastal marsh, rip rap will be placed in front of the erosion escarpment no higher than the elevation of the existing marsh (see sheet 3 of 8, Section D-D). No fill will be placed in the marsh. This stabilization should slow down the erosion of the current marsh habitat, while also helping to stabilize the bulkhead. Three new large cluster piles and two three-pile clusters are proposed for this basin (see sheets 2 of 8 and 3 of 8). No construction activity landward of the existing bulkhead is proposed. Construction activities at the north ferry facility will result in 165 CY total rip rap fill, 75 CY of rip rap total fill below MHT, 260 CY of fill behind proposed bulkhead, with 0.01635 acres of fill in waters of the US. No coastal wetland habitat will be filled. South Side At the ferry basin on the south side of the Pamlico River, 250 feet of bulkhead replacement is proposed. The new bulkhead will extend into the water 31 feet from the face of the existing bulkhead, or 2 feet waterward of the existing support pilings (see sheet 8 of 8). The proposed bulkhead will consist of 12" wide steel sheet piling with a 2.5'x2.5' concrete cap. The area between the front of the existing bulkhead and the rear of the proposed piling will be filled with select backfill material supplied by a local borrow pit. A stretch of existing bulkhead on the west end of the basin will not be replaced with a new bulkhead, but will be stabilized by the use of class II rip rap (see sheet 6 of 8). NCDOT does not believe that it is necessary to extend the more expensive bulkhead construction into this area. Mr. Gossett again expressed concerns over the amount of open water habitat that would be impacted by the rip rap in this area based on original plans. As was the case with the north side rip rap, NCDOT will agree to delete the 3 foot flat cap and change the slope from 3:1 to 2:1 (see section A-A, sheet 7 of 8). This modification has resulted in an approximate 40% reduction in impact to waters of the U.S. at this site. In the area bordering the marsh on the backside of the western point of the basin, rip rap will be placed in front of the erosion escarpment no higher than the elevation of the existing marsh (see sheet 6 of 8, Section D-D). No fill will be placed in the marsh at this site. This stabilization should slow down the erosion of the current marsh habitat, while also helping to stabilize the bulkhead. On the east end of basin, rip rap will be used to stabilize a stretch of shoreline that is prone to erosion (see sheet 6 of 8). Marsh grasses are presently growing in front of the erosion escarpment, and in order to stabilize the shoreline and protect the bulkhead, a portion of this area must be filled. The rip rap activities in this area will lead to an unavoidable loss of 0.004 acres of wetland habitat. A small drainage canal directly west of the ferry ramp approach road which presently leads to a 18" corrugated steel pipe will be modified to direct flow into a 18" corrugated steel pipe underneath the approachway (see sheets 6 of 8, 7 of 8 section C-C). The existing pipe will be plugged, and the canal regraded from the plug back approximately 45 feet to the opening of the proposed pipe. Two new large cluster piles are proposed for this basin. No construction activity landward of the existing bulkhead is proposed. Four small cluster piles adjacent to the westward bulkhead will be removed to allow for placement of the rip rap material (see sheet 6 of 8). Construction activities at the south ferry facility will result in 515 CY total rip rap fill, 420 CY total rip rap fill below MHT, 110 CY of fill behind proposed bulkhead, with 0.10 acres of fill in waters of the US. Additionally, 0.004 acres of wetland will be impacted due to rip rap placement on the east end of the basin. Due to the small acreage of wetland impacted by this activity, as well as the benefits associated with reducing erosion of marsh habitat, no mitigation for the loss of 0.004 acres of coastal marsh is proposed. The North Carolina Department of Transportation is requesting that the proposed work be authorized under the appropriate CAMA permit as indicated by the above mentioned activities. Enclosed please find a permit application and permit drawings. A processing fee has been requested from our Fiscal Unit, and will be forwarded to your office as soon as possible. By copy of this letter, we are also requesting issuance of 401 Water Quality Certification from the N.C. Division of Environmental Management and a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404 Permit.

The Ferry transverses the Pamlico River from Gaylords Bay just east of the Town of Bath on the north side of the river to the east of the Town of Aurora on the south side of the river. NC 306 is located at each ferry site. The north side consists of a bulkheaded basin with loading ramps and dolphin clusters. Also, riprap has been historically placed at both the west end and the east end of the bulkhead. At the east end a large area of Spartina cynosuroides marsh is present; upland development consists of a office complex, parking lots and a approach road. The south side site also consists of a bulkheaded basin with loading ramps and dolphin clusters. As with the north side some riprap is present at both of the east and west ends of the bulkhead. Also, at both ends of the bulkhead areas vegetated with Phragmites spp. are present; upland development on the south side consists of restrooms and a approach road. Project proposal (A) North Side - The applicant is proposing the following: (1) To construct ±585' of steel sheet pile bulkhead. The new bulkhead will be 3 1/2' waterward of the face of the existing bulkhead or 3' waterward of the existing support pilings. (2) To place ±50' of riprap waterward of a portion of existing bulkhead. This area of riprap will average 9' beyond the NWL. (3) To place ±30' of riprap waterward of the NWL at the western end of the existing bulkhead. This riprap will be placed partially atop existing riprap and will average ±9' beyond the NWL. (4) To place ±150' of riprap waterward of the NWL beginning at the east end of the existing bulkhead. A portion of this riprap will be atop existing riprap and a portion will be placed waterward and to the same elevation of an area of Spartina cynosuroides marsh. No riprap will be placed atop the marsh. This 150' section of riprap will average 2' beyond the NWL. (5) To place five (5) new cluster piles within the ferry basin. Four (4) of these piles will be west of the loading ramp and one (1) will be to the east of the riprap. (B) South Side - The applicant is proposing the following: (1) To construct ±245' of steel sheet pile bulkhead. The new bulkhead will be 3 1/2' waterward of the face of the existing bulkhead or 2' waterward of the existing support pilings. A NC DOT - NC 306 Page 2 (2) To place ±300' of riprap waterward of a portion of the existing bulkhead. This area of riprap will average 10' beyond the NWL. (3) To place ±65' of riprap waterward of the NWL at the western end of the existing bulkhead. This riprap will be placed partially atop existing riprap a portion will be placed waterward and to the same elevation of an area of Phragmites spp.. This section of riprap will average ±2' beyond the NWL. (4) To place ±180' of riprap waterward of the NWL at the eastern end of the existing bulkhead. This riprap will be placed partially atop an area of Phragmites spp. which is existing beyond the NWL at this location. This section of riprap will average ±2' beyond the NWL. (5) To place two (2) new cluster piles within the ferry basin. One (1) set of piles will be on the west side of the loading and one (1) set will be on the east side of the loading ramp. Environmental impact 04 A- (1) ±1,755 square feet of open water area will be filled landward of the ,)roposed bulkheav. (2) ±1,020 square feet of openwater area will be filled by the placement of the proposed riprap. (3) No wetland vegetation will be excavated or filled. (4) Some short term turbidity will exist during project construction. (1) ±735 square feet of open water area will be filled landward of the proposed bulkhead. (2) ±4,010 square feet of open water area will be filled by the placement of the proposed riprap. (3) ±450 square feet of Phragmites spp. will be filled by riprap placement at the eastern end of the existing bulkhead. (4) Sonic short term turbidity will exist during project construction. David L.

On February 6, 1990, the DA and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) establishing procedures to determine the type and level of mitigation necessary to comply with the Clean Water Act Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines. This MOA provides for first, avoiding impacts to waters and wetlands through the selection of the least damaging, practical alternative; second, taking appropriate and practical steps to minimize impacts on waters and wetlands; and finally, compensating for any remaining unavoidable impacts to the extent appropriate and practical. To enable us to process your application in full compliance with this MOA, we request that you provide the following additional information: a. Permits for work within wetlands or other special aquatic sites are available only if the proposed work is the least environmentally damaging, practicable alternative. Please furnish information regarding any other alternatives, including upland alternatives, to the work for which you have applied and provide justification that your selected plan is the least damaging to water or wetland areas. b. It is necessary for you to have taken all appropriate and practical steps to minimize wetland losses. Please indicate all that you have done, especially regarding development and modification of plans and proposed construction techniques, to minimize adverse impacts. C. The MOA requires that appropriate and practical mitigation will be required for all unavoidable adverse impacts remaining after all appropriate and practical minimization has been employed. Please indicate your plan to mitigate for the projected, unavoidable loss of waters or wetlands or provide information as to the absence of any such appropriate and practical measures. -2- This information is essential to our expeditious processing of your application and it should be forwarded to us by December 30, 1992. Also, a copy of this information must be sent to the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management to enable them to adequately evaluate your application for a Water Quality Certification pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Norm Sanders, Washington Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone (919) 975-3025. Sincerely, G.

Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources P.O. Box 27687 Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 ATTENTION: Mr. John Parker Dear Sir: DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS WILLIAM G. MARLEY, JR., P.E. STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATOR SUBJECT: Beaufort County, Pamlico River Ferry Basins near Bath (North Side) and Aurora (South Side) on NC 306, Proposed Bulkhead Replacement and Shoreline Stabilization, State Project No. 2.110013. The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to replace deteriorating bulkheads and provide additional shoreline stabilization at the Pamlico River ferry basins near Bath and Aurora on NC 306 in Beaufort County. Additional dolphin cluster piles are also proposed at each basin. North Side At the ferry basin on the north side of the Pamlico River, 585 feet of bulkhead replacement is proposed. The new bulkhead will extend into the water 31 feet from the face of the existing bulkhead, or 2 feet waterward of the existing support pilings (see sheet 5 of 8). The proposed bulkhead will consist of 12" wide steel sheet piling with a 2.51x2.5' concrete cap. The area between the front of the existing bulkhead and the rear of the proposed piling will be filled with select backfill material supplied by a local borrow pit. A small stretch of existing bulkhead on the west end of the basin will not be replaced with a new bulkhead, but will be stabilized by the use of class II rip rap (see sheet 2 of 8). NCDOT does not believe that it is necessary to extend the more expensive bulkhead construction into this area. During a permit coordination meeting with Mr. Dave Gossett (DCM-Washington), concerns were raised over the amount of open water habitat that would be impacted by the rip rap in this area based on original plans to create a 3 foot flat cap at the top of the rip rap, and the use of 3:1 side slopes. NCDOT therefore agreed to delete the 3 foot flat cap and change the slope to 2:1 (see section A-A, sheet 4 of 8). This modification has resulted in an approximate 40% reduction in impact to waters of the U.S. at this site. On the east side of the north basin, rip rap will be used to stabilize a stretch of shoreline that is prone to erosion (see sheets 3 of 8, 4 of 8 section C-C). Without this stabilization, land behind the bulkhead could be eroded away, threatening the bulkhead structure. Again, the proposed slope has been changed from 3:1 to 2:1 to reduce impacts to waters of the U.S. In the area bordering the coastal marsh, rip rap will be placed in front of the erosion escarpment no higher than the elevation of the existing marsh (see sheet 3 of 8, Section D-D). No fill will be placed in the marsh. This stabilization should slow down the erosion of the current marsh habitat, while also helping to stabilize the bulkhead. Three new large cluster piles and two three-pile clusters are proposed for this basin (see sheets 2 of 8 and 3 of 8). No construction activity landward of the existing bulkhead is proposed. Construction activities at the north ferry facility will result in 165 CY total rip rap fill, 75 CY of rip rap total fill below MHT, 260 CY of fill behind proposed bulkhead, with 0.0235 acres of fill in waters of the US. No coastal wetland habitat will be filled. South Side At the ferry basin on the south side of the Pamlico River, 250 feet of bulkhead replacement is proposed. The new bulkhead will extend into the water 31 feet from the face of the existing bulkhead, or 2 feet waterward of the existing support pilings (see sheet 8 of 8). The proposed bulkhead will consist of 12" wide steel sheet piling with a 2.51x2.5' concrete cap. The area between the front of the existing bulkhead and the rear of the proposed piling will be filled with select backfill material supplied by a local borrow pit. A stretch of existing bulkhead on the west end of the basin will not be replaced with a new bulkhead, but will be stabilized by the use of class II rip rap (see sheet 6 of 8). t? NCDOT does not believe that it is necessary to extend the more expensive bulkhead construction into this area. Mr. Gossett again expressed concerns over the amount of open water habitat that would be impacted by the rip rap in this area based on original plans. As was the case with the north side rip rap, NCDOT will agree to delete the 3 foot flat cap and change the slope from 3:1 to 2:1 (see section A-A, sheet 7 of 8). This modification has resulted in an approximate 40% reduction in impact to waters of the U.S. at this site. In the area bordering the marsh on the backside of the western point of the basin, rip rap will be placed in front of the erosion escarpment no higher than the elevation of the existing marsh (see sheet 6 of 8, Section D-D). No fill will be placed in the marsh at this site. This stabilization should slow down the erosion of the current marsh habitat, while also helping to stabilize the bulkhead. On the east end of basin, rip rap will be used to stabilize a stretch of shoreline that is prone to erosion (see sheet 6 of 8). Marsh grasses are presently growing in front of the erosion escarpment, and in order to stabilize the shoreline and protect the bulkhead, a portion of this area must be filled. The rip rap activities in this area will lead to an unavoidable loss of 0.004 acres of wetland habitat. A small drainage canal directly west of the ferry ramp approach road which presently leads to a 18" corrugated steel pipe will be modified to direct flow into a 18" corrugated steel pipe underneath the approachway (see sheets 6 of 8, 7 of 8 section C-C). The existing pipe will be plugged, and the canal regraded from the plug back approximately 45 feet to the opening of the proposed pipe. Two new large cluster piles are proposed for this basin. No construction activity landward of the existing bulkhead is proposed. Four small cluster piles adjacent to the westward bulkhead will be removed to allow for placement of the rip rap material (see sheet 6 of 8). Construction activities at the south ferry facility will result in 515 CY total rip rap fill, 420 CY total rip rap fill below MHT, 110 CY of fill behind proposed bulkhead, with 0.10 acres of fill in waters of the US. Additionally, 0.004 acres of wetland will be impa a ",due to rip rap placement on the east end of the basin. ue to the small acreage of wetland impacted by this a t vity, as well as the benefits associated with reducing r slon o marsh habitat, no mitigation for the loss o .004 cres of coastal marsh is proposed. The North Carolina Department of Transportation is requesting that the proposed work be authorized under the appropriate CAMA permit as indicated by the above mentioned activities. Enclosed please find a permit application and permit drawings. A processing fee has been requested from our Fiscal Unit, and will be forwarded to your office as soon as possible. By copy of this letter, we are also requesting issuance of 401 Water Quality Certification from the N.C. Division of Environmental Management and a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404 Permit.

Box 27687 Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 ATTENTION: Mr. John Parker Dear Sir: NOV 181992 L WEiLANDSGROUN? ATER QUALITY SECTION WATER' DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS WILLIAM G. MARLEY, JR., P.E. STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATOR SUBJECT: Beaufort County, Pamlico River Ferry Basins near Bath (North Side) and Aurora (South Side) on NC 306, Proposed Bulkhead Replacement and Shoreline Stabilization, State Project No. 2.110013. The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to replace deteriorating bulkheads and provide additional shoreline stabilization at the Pamlico River ferry basins near Bath and Aurora on NC 306 in Beaufort County. Additional dolphin cluster piles are also proposed at each basin. North Side At the ferry basin on the north side of the Pamlico River, 585 feet of bulkhead replacement is proposed. The new bulkhead will extend into the water 31 feet from the face of the existing bulkhead, or 2 feet waterward of the existing support pilings (see sheet 5 of 8). The proposed bulkhead will consist of 12" wide steel sheet piling with a 2.51x2.5' concrete cap. The area between the front of the existing bulkhead and the rear of the proposed piling will be filled with select backfill material supplied by a local borrow pit. A small stretch of existing bulkhead on the west end of the basin will not be replaced with a new bulkhead, but will be stabilized by the use of class II rip rap (see sheet 2 of A.- C.....-1l1.-.-.._,....-:..., A f[:__.-.-,:. ..- l1_.:__ I__,__- 8). NCDOT does not believe that it is necessary to extend the more expensive bulkhead construction into this area. During a permit coordination meeting with Mr. Dave Gossett (DCM-Washington), concerns were raised over the amount of open water habitat that would be impacted by the rip rap in this area based on original plans to create a 3 foot flat cap at the top of the rip rap, and the use of 3:1 side slopes. NCDOT therefore agreed to delete the 3 foot flat cap and change the slope to 2:1 (see section A-A, sheet 4 of 8). This modification has resulted in an approximate 40% reduction in impact to waters of the U.S. at this site. On the east side of the north basin, rip rap will be used to stabilize a stretch of shoreline that is prone to erosion (see sheets 3 of 8, 4 of 8 section C-C). Without this stabilization, land behind the bulkhead could be eroded away, threatening the bulkhead structure. Again, the proposed slope has been changed from 3:1 to 2:1 to reduce impacts to waters of the U.S. In the area bordering the coastal marsh, rip rap will be placed in front of the erosion escarpment no higher than the elevation of the existing marsh (see sheet 3 of 8, Section D-D). No fill will be placed in the marsh. This stabilization should slow down the erosion of the current marsh habitat, while also helping to stabilize the bulkhead. Three new large cluster piles and two three-pile clusters are proposed for this basin (see sheets 2 of 8 and 3 of 8). No construction activity landward of the existing bulkhead is proposed. Construction activities at the north ferry facility will result in 165 CY total rip rap fill, 75 CY of rip rap total fill below MHT, 260 CY of fill behind proposed bulkhead, with 0.0235 acres of fill in waters of the US. No coastal wetland habitat will be filled. South Side At the ferry basin on the south side of the Pamlico River, 250 feet of bulkhead replacement is proposed. The new bulkhead will extend into the water 31 feet from the face of the existing bulkhead, or 2 feet waterward of the existing support pilings (see sheet 8 of 8). The proposed bulkhead will consist of 12" wide steel sheet piling with a 2.51x2.5' concrete cap. The area between the front of the existing bulkhead and the rear of the proposed piling will be filled with select backfill material supplied by a local borrow pit. A stretch of existing bulkhead on the west end of the basin will not be replaced with a new bulkhead, but will be stabilized by the use of class II rip rap (see sheet 6 of 8). NCDOT does not believe that it is necessary to extend the more expensive bulkhead construction into this area. Mr. Gossett again expressed concerns over the amount of open water habitat that would be impacted by the rip rap in this area based on original plans. As was the case with the north side rip rap, NCDOT will agree to delete the 3 foot flat cap and change the slope from 3:1 to 2:1 (see section A-A, sheet 7 of 8). This modification has resulted in an approximate 40% reduction in impact to waters of the U.S. at this site. In the area bordering the marsh on the backside of the western point of the basin, rip rap will be placed in front of the erosion escarpment no higher than the elevation of the existing marsh (see sheet 6 of 8, Section D-D). No fill will be placed in the marsh at this site. This stabilization should slow down the erosion of the current marsh habitat, while also helping to stabilize the bulkhead. On the east end of basin, rip rap will be used to stabilize a stretch of shoreline that is prone to erosion (see sheet 6 of 8). Marsh grasses are presently growing in front of the erosion escarpment, and in order to stabilize the shoreline and protect the bulkhead, a portion of this area must be filled. The rip rap activities in this area will lead to an unavoidable loss of 0.004 acres of wetland habitat. A small drainage canal directly west of the ferry ramp approach road which presently leads to a 18" corrugated steel pipe will be modified to direct flow into a 18" corrugated steel pipe underneath the approachway (see sheets 6 of 8, 7 of 8 section C-C). The existing pipe will be plugged, and the canal regraded from the plug back approximately 45 feet to the opening of the proposed pipe. Two new large cluster piles are proposed for this basin. No construction activity landward of the existing bulkhead is proposed. Four small cluster piles adjacent to the westward bulkhead will be removed to allow for placement of the rip rap material (see sheet 6 of 8). Construction activities at the south ferry facility will result in 515 CY total rip rap fill, 420 CY total rip rap fill below MHT, 110 CY of fill behind proposed bulkhead, with 0.10 acres of fill in waters of the US. Additionally, 0.004 acres of wetland will be impacted due to rip rap placement on the east end of the basin. Due to the small acreage of wetland impacted by this activity, as well as the benefits associated with reducing erosion of marsh habitat, no mitigation for the loss of 0.004 acres of coastal marsh is proposed. 0 The North Carolina Department of Transportation is requesting that the proposed work be authorized under the appropriate CAMA permit as indicated by the above mentioned activities. Enclosed please find a permit application and permit drawings. A processing fee has been requested from our Fiscal Unit, and will be forwarded to your office as soon as possible. By copy of this letter, we are also requesting issuance of 401 Water Quality Certification from the N.C. Division of Environmental Management and a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404 Permit. If you have any additional questions regarding this matter, please contact Mr. Doug Huggett of NCDOT's Environmental Unit at (919) 733-9770. Sincerely, B. J. P.E.

The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to replace deteriorating bulkheads and provide additional shoreline stabilization at the Pamlico River ferry basins near Bath and Aurora on NC 306 in Beaufort County. Additional dolphin cluster piles are also proposed at each basin. North Side At the ferry basin on the north side of the Pamlico River, 585 feet of bulkhead replacement is proposed. The new bulkhead will extend into the water 31 feet from the face of the existing bulkhead, or 2 feet waterward of the existing support pilings (see sheet 5 of 8). The proposed bulkhead will consist of 12" wide steel sheet piling with a 2.5'x2.5' concrete cap. The area between the front of the existing bulkhead and the rear of the proposed piling will be filled with select backfill material supplied by a local borrow pit. A small stretch of existing bulkhead on the west end of the basin will not be replaced with a new bulkhead, but will be stabilized by the use of class II rip rap (see sheet 2 of A 4r, CY/f? jL 8r-107 JAMES G.

The N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) has completed a review of the proposed project and possible impacts on existing wildlife and fishery resources on the area. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d). The N. C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) plans to replace bulkheads and riprap and install new dolphin clusters at the ferry landings, with approximately 0.4 acres of fill in estuarine waters and 0.004 acres of fill in marsh wetlands. All fill will occur along existing bulkhead and riprap in areas which have been previously disturbed. The amount of impervious surface on the site will not be significantly changed by the proposed work. No high quality fish or wildlife habitats will be significantly affected by the project. The NCWRC offers no objection to issuance of a CAMA/Dredge and Fill Permit for this project, provided the following recommendations are included as conditions of the permit: 1) Riprap used in construction should be clean and free of sediment and chemical contaminants.
