PROJECT SUMMARY:
Please note this application is a new submittal of the previously permitted (# 114-10)
project from October 2009, which has been suspended. The previously permitted
project authorized an 85-slip marina, clubhouse with ship store, 43-car asphalt
parking area, boardwalk with board walk extension, two above ground storage tanks
and all associated dock components. The current proposal is to construct a 109-slip
marina (96 permanent and 13 transient), club house with ship store, 43-car asphalt parking
lot, boardwalk, and extension of an existing concrete boardwalk, all associated dock
components and installation of two above ground fuel storage tanks. A Section 404
wetland delineation has been signed for the project site, and is on file. The applicant
submitted an Environmental Assessment on October 1, 2008 which was submitted to State
Clearing House on October 2, 2008. The Environmental Assessment satisfied the State
Environmental Policy Act requirements in 2009. A FONSI was issued on May 19, 2009.
9. Narrative Description
The Homer Smith LLC/ Beaufort Harbor Marina and Yacht Club project is located
approximately 380' east of the DOT bridge at 101 Cedar Street in Beaufort and is along the
south side of Town Creek and the USACE Federal Harbor. This project is not located
within the Town of Beaufort's Locally Designated Historical District however it is located
within The National Register Historical District. The property is 58,370 square feet in its
entirety and is an average of 5' above NHW. The shoreline length for this property is 795'.
The site currently supports one large seafood packing building, loading docks, fuel
storage, a gravel parking lot, commercial fishing boat docks and 10 existing slips. The
shoreline is stabilized with an existing concrete bulkhead.
The proposed development is a commercial project. The properties impervious surface for
the entire tract is currently at 70.5 % with 68.74% within the AEC. There are commercial
properties to the east and the US Hwy 70 draw bridge to the west of the project area. At
least one to two new marinas have been proposed and permitted within Town Creek over
the past years within the vicinity of the project area. There is a proposed Town of Beaufort
pier head line shown on the 6/7/11 plats which extends the piers past the 1/4 allowable
distances. This was determined by extending between the previously permitted Homer
Smith Marina and the permitted Lo'r decks project to the east. The applicants are seeking
Town adoption of this pier head line and are currently in negotiations with adjacent
property owners (Beaufort Partners) and the Town of Beaufort.

The Town of Beaufort's Land Use Plan classifies this property as Mixed Use with all parts
of the AEC classified Conservation. Town Creek is not designated as Primary Nursery
Area and is closed to the taking of shellfish. Town Creek within this area carries a water
classification of SC and has an average width of 1,400'. Water depths are an average of -
3.5'nlw in area one and -3.4'nlw in area two of the project area and riparian corridors have
been set to follow the existing alignment of the adjacent neighbor "Beaufort Partners
LLC" on the east side and are drawn 90° from the channel and Federal Harbor line on the
west side. Through field verification substrate was found to be mostly silt. No SAV's or
shellfish were observed within the project area however there is a predominate oyster bed
along the shoreline of the adjacent property to the west.
10. Proiect Description:
The current proposal is to construct a 109-slip marina (96 permanent and 13 transient), 43-
car asphalt parking lot, clubhouse with ship store, boardwalk, finger piers, platforms and
docks for commercial use.
The applicants are proposing to construct a partial fixed pier and partial floating pier
marina with permanent slips. There would be two fixed piers (docks C & D) located at the
most western portion of the project area. Dock D would be 6' x 193.08' and Dock C would
retain the dimensions of 6' x 43.73'. Fixed dock D would cross 30' of coastal wetlands
with dock C crossing 20'. Both of these fixed piers would connect to an 8' x 222.52' high
ground wooden boardwalk which then would connect to the existing concrete boardwalk.
Out in the water a 4' x 22' gangway would connect fixed pier (D) to a 9'10" wide floating
pier. Floating pier (D) would cross open water for 225.87' and intersect a 6'2" x
89.43'floating platform. A pump out would be located in the center of this platform 1'-2'
east of the access. The west side of the platform would be located a distance of 390' from
the federal harbor setback with the east side located a distance of 380'. The docking
facility complies with the minimum 15' setback from the west side riparian corridor. There
would be 19 permanent slips located within this area. There would be two transient slips
located on the most northern side of the platform. The inner slips would be numbered D -1
to D-19 with a total of 10 finger piers (5@5' x 45', 1@5' x 40', 1@5' x 50', and 3 @ 5' x
60') and 18 tie pilings within this area. The outer slips would be numbered T-13 to T-12
and would be side-too. Slips D-1 to D-19 would range in width from 20.5' - 24.5' wide
depending on location. A 10' x 12' electrical platform would be located on the west side
of the floating pier (D) a distance of 165' waterward of nhw.
Floating pier C would be located directly east of pier D and would connect to a 6' x 43.73'
fixed pier by way of a 4' x 22' gangway. The floating pier would extend over open water
for 372.03' and would be 9' 10" wide. It would intersect with a 6'2" x 104.83't- head

platform. There would be a pumpout located 1'-2' east of the access. The west side of the
platform would be located a distance of 370' from the ederal-harbor setback with the east
side located a distance of 360'. There would be 26 permanent slips within this area with 13
finger piers (5@ 45' x 5', 1 @40' x 5', and 7 @ 50' x 5'). A total of 28 tie pilings would be
located within this area. The slips would be numbered C-1 to C-27. There would be two
transient slips located on the outer portion of the platform. They would be side-too and
would be numbered T-10 and T-11. Slip areas C-land C-27 range in width from 20.5- 26.3
and 40'-50' in length. A 5' x 10' electrical platform would be located on the east side of
the floating pier (C) a distance of 55' waterward of nhw. A 6' x 6' trash can platform
would be located on the east side of the fixed pier (C) at a distance of 35' waterward of
nhw.
Pier B would be located east of pier C and would connect to existing concrete boardwalk
by way of a 4' x 12' gangway. Floating pier (B) would extend waterward for 375.51'. It
would be 9'10" wide and intersect with an 13.51' X 109.83'T- head platform. The floating
platform would be used as a pumpout. The west side of the platform would be located a
distance of 450' from the federal harbor setback with the east side located a distance of
440'. There would be 32 slips located within this area with 15- (5'x 50') finger piers and
34 tie pilings. The slips would be numbered B-1 to B-32 with dimensions of 20' x 50'.
Two transient slips would be located on the outermost portion of the platform and would
be labeled T-8 and T-9. A 10' x 12' electrical platform would be located on the east side of
the floating pier (B) a distance of 10' waterward of nhw.
Pier A would be located east of pier B and would connect to the proposed 8' x 10'
boardwalk extension by way of a 4' x 20' gangway. The floating pier (A) would extend
waterward for 407.74'. It would be 9'10" wide and intersect with a 11.67' x 246.43' 1-head
platform. The west side of the platform would be located a distance of 350' from the
federal harbor setback with the east side located a distance of 50'. There would be 12
permanent slips located within this area with 9 (5'x 50') finger piers, one 10' x 50.36' fuel
control platform and 18 tie pilings. The slips would be numbered A-1 to A-18 and would
have a dimension of 17' x 50'. A total of four transient slips would be located on the
outermost portion of the platform, would be numbered T-1 to T-4 and of side-too design.
A 5' x 10' electrical platform would be located on the west side of the gangway for
floating pier (C). The electrical platform would be between the existing concrete bulkhead
and the finger pier of slip area A-1. The proposed structure meets the 15' setback and due
to the close proximity to the permitted docks to the east (30' to tie pilings); no slips are
proposed on the east side of pier A.
The typical boat using the marina would be 40' to 80' with mixed types such as sail,
charter, yachts and center consoles. The marina policy would prohibit overboard discharge
with no overnight or live aboard dockage and would seek to enroll in the Clean Marina

program. The marina would be equipped with a pumpout stations on each platform and
would require boat owners to pl-7c dve packs within their pamrout tanks. There would be
"No Sewer Discharge" signs on every dock as well as "Pumpout Available" signs.
The width of Town Creek in the western area of the property is 1,436.59' with the most
eastern portion at 1,098.38'. The western pier (D) would extend 395' into the water body
from nhw and the eastern pier (A) would extend 425' to 490' depending on location into
the water body from nhw. All the piers and platforms would be located a range of 50' to
390' from the federal harbor setback and 15' from the riparian corridors. The proposed
piers as shown extend waterward beyond the'/4 width allowable distance to a proposed
pier head line. At the time of the writing of this report, this line does not exist or and is not
applicable.
A new 8' x 10' wooden boardwalk extension would be added on the east end. The existing
concrete boardwalk would connect with a new wooden slatted designed boardwalk 340'
from the east riparian line. The wooden boardwalk would be 8' x 222.52'with docks (D)
and (C) connected. All work would be located over high ground.
The applicants are proposing to excavate two sections of the boat basin area with a
hydraulic pipeline method. A total of 36,543 cubic yards of material would be removed
below nhw. The excavation dimensions are 166.1' x 320' for Areal and 201.5' x 800' for
area2. The average existing depth in area 1 is -3.5' nlw and -3.4'nlw in area 2 with a
proposed final depth of -8' nlw. The connecting water depths within this area range from -
12'nlw to -14'nlw. The excavation within area two on the most eastern section would be a
minimum distance of 85' from all coastal wetlands with the excavation for area one a
minimum of 120' from the most western side of the existing coastal wetlands.
A dredge disposal dike would be utilized for spoil disposal and would be located at the
Beaufort MarltirnL Museum site (Aqua 10) adjacent to the Beaufort Airport property. The
berm would start from grade and rise with an outer 3:1 ratio, depending on location, to a
6', 8' or 10' platform, then fall with an inner 3:1 ratio. The fill height would be 5' to 6'
with 2' of freeboard. All sides of the berm would be designed in this manner. The
dimensions of the berm would be 290' wide x 405' long and allow for 88,566 cubic yards
of material. The existing ground surface is at + 3'to 4' with the berm height at +8'to 10'
from existing grade. There would be a 560' long influent pipe from Gallants Channel to
the spoil area and a 230' long effluent pipe leaving the spoil area with a settling basin and
discharging into Gallants Channel. The pipes would be located a distance of 380' apart
within the berm area and 10' apart at the Gallants Channel entrance to the berm. The most
western berm would be a distance of 40' from nhw and 20'-30' from delineated
jurisdictional 404 wetlands. The most eastern berm would be a distance of approximately
60' from the nhw.

The applicants are proposing a clubhouse with ship store and a 43-space asphalt parking
lot area located on existing impervious at the high ground-portion as an amenity for the
marina. They are proposing a two-story elevated clubhouse with porch and deck for the
use of the marina patrons. The building would be 30' x 40' (1200 square feet) and a
maximum height of 35'. The existing grade is +5.0' MSL with the completed first floor
building height at +9.0' MSL. The clubhouse would have 7 new concrete walkways which
would connect the docking facility as well as the parking area to the clubhouse. A
handicap ramp would be constructed on the western side of the clubhouse as well.
The 43-space parking area would be located on the east side, west side and directly behind
the clubhouse building. There would be 1 Iparking spaces located on the west side of the
clubhouse that would run shore parallel with the existing bulkhead and would be a
minimum distance of 8' above nhw. There would be 14 spaces located behind the
clubhouse at a minimum distance of 51' to 77' from nhw. The final 18 spaces would be
located on the east side of the clubhouse a minimum distance ranging from 5' to 25' from
the nhw.
The applicant is proposing two above ground fuel storage tanks. They would be located on
the east side of the clubhouse along the west side of the parking area. They would be a
distance of 30' from the nhw.
The clubhouse, fuel storage tanks, new concrete walks, handicap ramp and parking area
would be located over existing impervious which for the entire combined tract is 41,203
square feet or 70.5%. The current impervious area with the Coastal Shoreline AEC is
44,085 square feet or 68.74%. The proposed upland development would require a total of
.83 acres of high ground to be graded and filled. The amount of impervious surface
proposed along the tract within the AEC would be reduced to 36.77% and 46.6% for the
entire tract. The clubhouse would be located 27' from the nhw, the fire lanes 5' above
nhw. The parking lot would be located a distance of 15' from nhw and 40' from the DOT
right of way.
11. Anticipated Impacts:
The proposed docks and fingers would shade 34,081 ft2 of estuarine bottom and
incorporate 122,940 ft2 of Public Trust open water. The access docks would shade 240 ft2
of coastal wetlands. The excavation for the entrance channel to the proposed marina and
the marina footprint itself would disturb 214,352 ft' of shallow bottom habitat and remove
36,154cubic yards of material from the system. The setting of pilings and excavation has
the potential to cause a temporary increase in turbidity during construction and excavation
activities. The proposed dock configurations would exceed I/4 of the width of the water
body (1400') in this area, with pier A extending a distance of 140'-150', pier B extending
40', pier C extending 15'-80' and pier D extending 8'-10' beyond the i/4 distance.

Although the proposed docks would be located a distance of 50' to 390'from the Federal
Harbor setback, the project could cause potential navigational impacts to small boats and
individuals anchoring in the area. The most eastern portion of dock A has the potential to
cause ingress and egress problems with a previously permitted marina and should remain
clear space with no authorized slips. The upland portion of this project would require the
grading and filling of .83 acres with a finished impervious percentage of 36.77% within
the AEC and 46.6% for the entire tract. The impervious area has been reduced from 70.5%
for the entire tract and 68.74 % within the AEC. There have been one to two new marinas
proposed and permitted within Town Creek over the past year (Beaufort Partners LLC)
and have the potential to cause cumulative impacts with the increased development and
boating use.

A. Description of Project
1. Type of Development
This project will include the 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. The site consists of one parcels located on the water adjacent to the Hardees restaurant
and across from Town Creek Marina. The site includes 1.34 acres that currently supports one
large seafood packing building, loading docks, fuel storage, a gravel parking lot, and commercial
fishing boat docks. The site was issued CAMA Major 114-10 for 85 slips on October 15th, 2010,
and has an approved NCEPA document and FONSI for 235 wet-slips. Homer Smith LLC is
proposing 109 wet-slips, which is well under the total approved in the EA document.
The pierhead line shown on the plans has been proposed by CAMA in negotiations with Homer
Smith LLC, adjacent property owners, and the Town of Beaufort. It extends between the
previously permitted Homer Smith Marina, and the permitted Lo'r Decks project on Turner
Street.
Construction will require the removal of the existing dock and the existing seafood packing
building. An 8 foot wide wooden boardwalk will be constructed along the western shoreline up
to the existing concrete boardwalk. Four 9'10" wide floating docks will be constructed. Two 6
foot wide fixed piers with gangways will be constructed perpendicular to the proposed wood
boardwalk for access to docks D and C. Docks A and B will be accessed directly from the
existing concrete boardwalk. The floating dock width is required for safety due to the fact that
there will be 2 ft wide dock boxes located on each side of the floating docks. This will leave
5'10" available for foot traffic. Each fixed pier will have platforms at their beginning to
accommodate trash cans. Each floating pier will-tequire a platform for electrical boxes, wiring,
99
J+JN
and meters. There will be a total of 109 proposed wet-slips ranging in size from 40 to 6b
length with 47 finger piers 5 ft wide. 96 of the wet-slips will be permanent, and 13 of the wet-
slips will be designated as transient slips. Two fuel pumps will be provided on Platform "A
(Fuel)". Four portable pumpouts will be provided, one at the end of each dock..
Homer Smith LLC proposes hydraulic pipeline dredging of approximately 36,543 cubic yards of
silt and fine sand from the marina basin. All dredging will avoid existing wetlands. T'he dredge
disposal dike will be located at the Beaufort Maritime Museum site and property owned by Old
Seaport Development LLC adjacent to the Beaufort Airport. 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
an 8 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 43 car asphalt parking lot, above ground fuel
tanks, clubhouse, and loading and unloading areas. Potable water and wastewater disposal will
be provided by the Town of Beaufort. Upland disturbance will total approximately .83 acres.
This includes the construction of 21,245 square feet of parking, 2,116 square feet for a
clubhouse, concrete walkways totaling 3,869 square feet, and the removal of concrete, gravel,
and the fish house. Existing impervious surfaces on site total 41,203 square feet. Significant
amounts of gravel and concrete will be removed from the site. The total BUA will be reduced to
approximately 27,203 square feet. The project has received DWQ exclusion # SW8-091221
2. Earth Disturbing Activities
a. Removal of fish house, concrete. and gravel
b. Dredging of boat basin and access channel
c. Construction of boat slips
d. Construction of parking lot
e. Construction of clubhouse.
3. Drainage
Drains into Town Creek by way of sheet flow.
B. EA Mitigation
• No wetlands areas will be dredged. A slope of at least 3:1 will utilized on all bottom
contours. Hydraulic pipeline dredging techniques will be utilized instead of "cut and
slough dredging techniques" in order to avoid undermining of existing wetlands. Dredge
spoil disposal will stay out of any coastal and federal wetlands.

The developer proposes the removal of existing buildings, existing gravel and pavement,
and existing concrete for a total decrease in impervious surfaces of 16,430 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. Boat owners will be required to place dye packs within their
pumpout tanks in order to quickly identify any potential leakage. The sewer pump out
will be closely monitored to ensure that it is properly utilized.
The marina facilities will be equipped with a new fueling station that utilizes automatic
shutoff nozzles and is designed to be quickly shutoff in the event of an emergency or a
spill. Marina staff will be trained in a Spill Contingency Plan. Fuel absorbent booms and
materials, fire extinguishers, and other fuel absorbent materials will be stored near the
fueling station. Procedures for fuel containment will be clearly stated on signs for boat
owners.
• Maintenance activities such as boat engine repair, fiberglass repair, painting, pressure
washing, and hull scraping will be prohibited on site. Use of phosphate free,
biodegradable detergents and cleaning compounds for boat wash down will be
encouraged at the marina.
• Areas for fish cleaning and solid waste disposal will be provided for boat owners by the
marina.
• The Developer has contacted an independent environmental engineering firm to perform
a detailed chemical analysis of marine sediments required by the NC Maritime Museum
prior to dredge spoils being placed on their site.
• 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 April thru September.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Willis:

On January 14, 2010, the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality received a request to exclude the subject
proposed redevelopment project from Stormwater Management Permit requirements. Staff review of the plans and supporting
documentation has determined that the project proposes activities that are excluded from State Stormwater permitting
requirements as set forth in Section 2.(d)(3) of Session Law 2008-211, effective October 1, 2008, and the stormwater rules
under Title 15A NCAC 2H.1000, as amended.
Therefore, the director of the Division of Water Quality is hereby providing confirmation that the subject project is excluded from
State Stormwater permitting requirements under the following conditions: 1) The project must be constructed as shown on the
plans submitted to this Office; 2) The proposed built-upon area of 27,623 square feet does not exceed the existing built-upon
area of 40,326 square feet; and 3) The proposed stormwater control, sand filter and vegetated filter, provides equal protection of
surface waters as the existing stormwater control, which is direct discharge via sheet flow over gravel. .
Under Section .1003 (b) of the stormwater rules, the entire common plan of development must be permitted. Therefore, any
future development or changes to the proposed development, including, but not limited to, the relocation of built-upon area and
the construction of additional built-upon area, may require approval or a Stormwater Management permit application and permit
issuance from the Division of Water Quality prior to any construction. Any construction on the site prior to receipt of the required
approval or permit will constitute a violation of Title 15A NCAC 2H.1000 and Session Law 2008-211, and may result in the
initiation of appropriate enforcement action.
Please keep in mind that this determination does not affect your legal obligation to obtain other permits and approvals, which
may be required by Federal, State, or local government agencies, rule or law. If you have any question, or need additional
information concerning this matter, please contact either Linda Lewis or me at 910-796-7215.
Sincerely,
