The proposed project does require a 401 Water Quality Certification but does meet the requirements of General Certification No. 1273 for discharge of liquid effluent from an upland diked disposal area. b. The applicant has provided information concerning the adequacy of the proposed spoil containment. C. Because of the type of material being dredged (fine soil particles) and the sensitivity of the area of dredging (primary nursery area), a plan for monitoring water quality had been requested from the applicant. The applicant has agreed to the monitoring scheme as described in the attached memo from Deborah Swayer dated April 3, 1989. It is recommended that this monitoring be included as conditions of the CAMA permit.

Thorpe; er ty Regional Supervisor Washington Regional Office FROM: Deborah Sawyer, Environmental Technician Water Quality Section, WaRO SUBJECT: Tad Moore - Whittaker Creek Channel Oriental Pamlico County A site investigation of the above subject project was performed on March 28, 1989. The applicant supplied the Division with the information concerning the spoils disposal area as requested on February 28, 1989. The information supplied showed the area to be adequate for the containment of spoils. An approved monitoring scheme was also requested on February 28, 1989 by the Division. The applicant agreed on March 28, 1989 to the following monitoring scheme for analyses: 1. Within the area to be dredged (midway) and within the area of the proposed discharge from the spoils prior to the dredging and discharge, measurements in the water column for metals; cadmium, chrome, copper, nickel, lead, zinc, and mercury; and total nitrogen and phosphorus should be measured to supply the Division with background information. 2. Within the area to be dredged (midway) and within the area of the proposed discharge from the spoils during the dredging and after the discharge from the spoils commences, measurements in the water column for metals; cadmium, chrome, copper, nickel, lead, zinc and mercury; and total nitrogen and phosphorus should be measured to supply the Division with information concerning contaminants entering the water column from the dredging project. 3. During the dredging, turbidity and total settleable solids analyses should be performed 2 times per week. This is a maintenance dredging project which should be monitored due to the type of sediment (fine soil particles) and the sensitive area of the dredging (primary nursery area) project. The results from the first analyses taken should be submitted to the Division prior to the dredging for review. The remaining analyses should be submitted within a timely manner.

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT - WHITTAKER CREEK CHANNEL/TAD MOORE PAMLICO COUNTY PAGE #2 9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The proposed project is maintenance dredging of an existing channel which was permitted under N.C. Permit 4340-1974 and Federal Permit 474-69. The project is located in oriental, the eastern branch of Whittaker Creek, in Pamlico'County. Since the original project was conducted, the shoreline of east Whittaker Creek has become densely developed with houses and the marina. The original channel ranged from 50' to 200' and this proposed maintenance is for a 50' width along 2,200' with the original -6' NWL depth. This proposed maintenance will be conducted by hydraulic dredge and will excavate 8,500 cu. yds. of sand-and muck. This material is to be placed into a diked disposal area. The proposed highground spoil area currently is vegetated with mixed hardwoods and pines. The applicant is proposing a 550' x 400' (5 acres) spoil area but has a spoil easement for up to 7 acres. 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The proposed project will remove 8,500 cu. yds. of sand and muck from 110,000 sq. ft. (2' acres) of shallow estuarine bottom. This spoil material is to be placed in a 5 ac. highground spoil disposal area. The waters of Whittaker Creek are classified as 'SA' by the Division of Environmental Management, closed to shellfishing by the Division of Health Services, and designated as a Primary Nursery Area by the Division of Marine Fisheries.
