Tyrrell County Maintenance Excavation and Removal of Sediment from Canals
Tyrrell County
Project Setting
The County of Tyrrell is proposing to conduct maintenance excavation within
three existing man-made drainage canals. Two Canals are located outside the Town of
Columbia jurisdiction and one is located within the Town limits of Columbia. A scoping
meeting was held at the Washington Regional Office on February 26, 2020 for this
project in which many permitting and resource agencies were present. The canal
locations are as follows:
SR 1213, (Bridgepath Rd.)
SR 1209, (Soundside Rd.)/AKA Roughton B Canal
N. Road St. in Columbia, North Boundary canal
The canals located off SR 1213 and SR 1209 are finger canals located off a larger canal
that is connected to the Albemarle Sound immediately west of Country Estates
Subdivision at the dead end of SR 1213. The Albemarle Sound is located approximately
0.5 miles downstream of the finger canal connections. These two canals range 30'- 40' in
width and approximately 2.0' in depth. Each canal is bordered on both sides by wooded
wetlands with a large percentage of the surface area covered with Alligator Weed. These
canals are classified SB waters by the Environmental Management Commission and
Coastal Fishing Waters by the N.C, Division of Marine Fisheries.
The County is also proposing to conduct maintenance excavation within North Boundary
Canal (NBC) located in the Town of Columbia off North Road Street. This canal is
approximately 40' in width and has an average existing depth of -2.5 below Normal
Water Level. The canal is bordered to the north by wooded wetlands and the south by
mixed use uplands including residential, commercial and public infrastructure facilities.
This Canal connects to the Scuppernong River 0.35 miles downstream of the proposed
maintenance excavation. The bottom sediment in these canals consists of fine organic
material from normal surface runoff, years without maintenance and recent storm events.
NBC is classified as SC waters by the Environmental Management Commission at the
project site. NBC is also joint fishing waters as classified by the N.C. Division of Marine
Fisheries and the Wildlife Resources Commission.
Project Description
The scope of work is to conduct maintenance excavation of ±1,200 linear feet in
NBC, ±3,320 feet in Bridgepath canal and ±3,053 ft. in Roughton B canal. The final
project depth for all three canals will be approximately 4.9 ft. below NWL. The
maintenance excavation will not extend to the hard bottom of the original canal
excavation. All maintenance excavation will slope from upstream to downstream end to
provide positive water flow and preventing an area of greater water depth upstream. The
maintenance of all three canals will be accomplished by using bucket to barge
methodology. The applicant is not proposing any development activities along the
shoreline of the canals. The spoil generated at the NBC site will be offloaded on private
property uplands on the south side of the canal and allowed to dry and then transported to
a historically farmed field owned by Tyrrell County located of US Highway 64.
The access/offload area for Bridgepath canal will be located immediately adjacent to SR
1213 and the Roughton B canal access/offload will be located at 3289 Sound Side Road.
Both of these access points are wooded wetlands. The applicant proposes to temporarily
impact a 100 ft. x 100 ft. area at each site by cutting trees, grinding stumps to minimize
soil disturbance and installing temporary timber mats, Once the project is complete the
mats will be removed. The applicant is not proposing any wetland fill at this time.
The spoil area for both Bridgepath and Roughton B canal will be located at 2455 Sound
Side Rd. (SR 1209) which is owned by Chris Hopkins. This location is existing cultivated
agricultural fields and is located between both offload sites.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers staff and the Division of Coastal Management staff
conducted a joint site visit with Ty Fleming, Tyrrell County Soil & Water, and Mark
Senior, supervising consultant, on 9 February 2022 to review all of the access/offload
sites as well as all of the spoil disposal sites.
Anticipated Impacts
Approximately 7,563 linear feet of drainage canals will be excavated for
maintenance purposes. This maintenance excavation activity will likely produce
temporary turbidity. The project will result in an estimated 20,000 cubic yards of fine
sediment spoil. Approximately 5.5 acres will be disturbed for spoil disposal areas.
Approximately 10,000 square feet of wooded wetlands will be temporarily impacted.

Tyrrell County_ Maintenance Excavation and Removal of Sediment „from Canals Project
Narrative:
Several recent major storm events, including hurricanes Matthew, Florence, and Dorian and Tropical
Storms Hermine and Julia, resulted in the deposition of significant quantities of storm debris and
sediment in the man-made canals in Tyrrell County. This in turn has reduced the flow capacity of the
canals resulting in flooding of roadways and other adjacent land. This proposed canal maintenance
project involves removing accumulated sediments from three selected canals in order to restore their
drainage capacity and reduce the repetitive flooding currently experienced. Design of this project was
initiated in June of 2019 but has been delayed by additional storm damage preventing surveying and
challenges identifying suitable sites for beneficial use of the sediment.
All local records were lost in a fire at the County offices, so official records of when these three canals
were constructed and last maintained is unavailable, therefore it is assumed that they are jurisdictional
waters. However, the canals are straight and there are obvious remnants of past construction and/or
maintenance activities in the form of remnant spoil piles along the Bridgepath and Roughton B Canals.
The area along the N Boundary Canal where spoils were likely places is now developed. Areal imagery
indicates the Canals were constructed prior to 1956. Recent previous work in the canals involved the
clearing of downed trees and snags resulting from past storms to provide continued access to the canals
and to allow the collection of survey data for this project.
This work is in Tyrrell County North Carolina and a portion of the work falls in the jurisdiction of the
Town of Columbia. The project includes excavation and proper disposal of sediment from the three
canals listed below. Tyrrell County is the sponsoring entity and the work is being coordinated through
Ty Fleming with the Tyrrell County Soil and Water Conservation District. Financial assistance for the
design and construction has been provided through a grant from the North Carolina Department of
Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Soil & Water Conservation for both woody debris and
accumulated sediment removal.

In order to minimize impacts to the banks of the canals and any adjacent wetlands, the work will be
conducted from within the canals as opposed to from the banks. The work will involve mechanical
excavation from within the canal using excavators mounted on floating barges to remove the sediment,
place it in barges to be transported via the canal to an off-loading area, and then transferred to trucks
which can be sealed or lined to prevent spillage. The material will then be transported via trucks to
upland areas for beneficial use. Two disposal sites are proposed. Sediment from the N Boundary Canal
will be placed on a historically farmed field owned by Tyrrell County located at 832 Hwy 64. Sediment
from the Bridgepath and Roughton B Canals will be placed on several historically farmed fields owned by
Chris Hopkins at 2455 Sound Side Road. The sediment will remain in place until the site is stabilized and
the Land Disturbing Permit closed out. The sediment may remain in place permanently or may be
redistributed in the future to adjacent prior -converted farm fields for agricultural purposes. In no case
will the sediment be placed in wetlands or other waters now or in the future. Sedimentation from
sediment placement areas will be controlled by a perimeter of silt fence until the sites are stabilized
with vegetation. This fencing will also prevent material from being placed in nearby wetlands and other
jurisdictional waters. NC sediment and erosion control permits will be obtained as disturbed areas will
exceed 1 acre. Temporary wetland impacts of approximately .25 acres are anticipated at the Bridgepath
offload site located at 2455 Sound Side Rd. and at the Roughton B Canal offload site located at 3289
Sound Side Rd. The offload areas are limited to 100' long by 100' wide. Temporary wetland impacts will
be limited to the cutting of trees, the use of stump grinding to minimize soil disturbance, and the use of
temporary timber mats to protect the wetlands and avoid the need for fill. The N Boundary Canal
offload site is located on high ground adjacent to an existing boat yard and no wetlands will be impacted
(see included image).
Surveys of the existing dimensions of the canals along with the depth to sediment and depth to a hard
(parent material) bottom have been conducted to determine original canal depths. Excavation plans,
profiles, and cross sections have been developed to avoid exceeding previous canal dimensions and
depths. Excavation depths have been set to provide for a uniform positive slope from the upstream end
of each canal segment to its downstream end to avoid low "dead spots". In no case will proposed
excavation depths exceed the hard bottom. Proposed excavation will be limited to no closer that 5 feet
from the existing top of bank to protect existing vegetation, wetlands, and to minimize the possibility of
the edge of bank sloughing off.
