8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to replace an existing culvert and construct a
water control structure on an existing waterfowl impoundment adjacent Little Alligator River,
Columbia, Tyrrell County.

NCWRC- Texas Plantation
Tyrrell County
PROJECT SETTING
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) has submitted a Major
CAMA/Dredge and Fill request to replace an existing culvert and construct a water control structure
in a manmade canal connecting 237 acres of waterfowl impoundments to the Little Alligator River.
The 1,519 -acre project site is located at 2674 Fort Landing Road (SR #1209) in Columbia, Tyrrell
County off SR 1200. The property is currently Game lands and waterfowl impoundments that are
managed by series of flash board risers and two permanent pump stations. Prior to the project site
being acquired by the NCWRC the area was used for private hunting and agriculture and was drained
using pumps on the western most canal. The connection through this canal has been closed off using
an earthen berm, and water has been re -directed using a series of water control structures and pumps.
This interior canal work was previously permitted by the United States Army Corps of Engineers
Nationwide Permit 46 (ID SAW -2017-01369) and is currently completed. The North Carolina
Division of Coastal Management authorized a replacement culvert on the eastern canal and
maintenance excavation in the manmade canal with General Permit 68953-B. This excavation and
culvert replacement were completed. The shoreline is currently wooded wetlands and not stabilized.
The culvert and water control structure are approximately 1,000ft from the Little Alligator River. At
the mouth of the canal there is an existing hunting cabin over the Little Alligator River.
The property to the West and East of the project site are undeveloped and consists of wooded
wetlands.
The Little Alligator River at the project site is classified as SC; SW by the Environmental
Management Commission and as Inland Waters, Primary Nursery Area, and Anadromous Fish
Spawning Area by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant proposes to replace an existing 30' long x 48" wide culvert with a 37' long x 48" wide
culvert in the same alignment. The applicant is proposing to install a riser water control structure
(either stop logs or hinged flap gates can be used) on the upstream side of the culvert to manage
water levels during high water wind events. The stop logs will be position to allow water to gravity
flow off the property late February to early May and the boards will be removed mid-July to August.
The project will be in the alignment of an existing roadbed and all spoil material from construction
will be kept on the existing road bed and will be returned to pre -project conditions.
ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The project will result in localized turbidity due the removal of the existing culvert and installation
of the new culvert. The elevated turbidity levels will be contained between two coffer dams. There
will be temporary high ground disturbance during construction.

The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission is proposing to replace an existing
culvert with a water control structure as part of the waterfowl habitat enhancement project on
Texas Plantation Game Land. The water control structure is to replace a new culvert that
was installed as part of Phase I of our waterfowl project and is the same culvert described in
an October 9, 2017 letter sent to you describing ditch clean out and culvert replacement.
It has been determined that replacing the new culvert with a water control structure will
prevent inundation during high tide and wind driven events and reduce salt water intrusion
inland. The stoplogs in the water control structure can be manually inserted in preparation of
abnormally high tide or wind driven tide events to prevent water flowing inland. Stoplogs
with hinged flap gates could be inserted most of the year that would prevent water from
flowing inland when the water level on the river side of the water control structure is higher
than the inland side while also naturally releasing water through gravity flow during periods
when inland water levels exceed the rivers' water level, essentially functioning as tide gates.
The Division of Coastal Management (DCM) considers this to be in an "Area of
Environmental Concern" under their regulations. Therefore, it is provided protection under
state law. For this reason, the NC WRC will apply for a permit from DCM to perform the
described work. Part of the permit process is notifying adjacent riparian landowners of the
proposed work. A map of the proposed work is included with this letter. If you have any
questions, please contact me at 252-482-1808 or 252-802-0217 as we can discuss the project
further.

Project Narrative: Texas Plantation Game Land Culvert Replacement with a Water Control
Structure
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission began a Waterfowl Habitat Enhancement
project in 2017 in cooperation with Ducks Unlimited Inc. to enhance three existing waterfowl
impoundments and create four new waterfowl impoundment units in agricultural fields on
Texas Plantation Game Land. The goal for the project is to provide seasonal shallow water
wetland habitat for waterfowl, wading birds, and shorebirds and to provide public waterfowl
hunting opportunities. The Texas Plantation Game Land is a recently acquired site that once
served a similar function for a private hunting club. The habitat enhancement project was
divided into two phases.
Phase 1 was completed in 2018 and involved repairing an earthen dike to an existing
impoundment and replacing one water control structure (WCS) and installing an additional WCS
within the unit. Ina second existing impoundment, an obsolete WCS was removed and anew
WCS installed. Two new impoundments were constructed in agricultural fields and within the
new impoundments, WCSs were installed to allow for water levels to be managed. A new
centralized pump station was installed to allow water to be pumped into or out of these four
impoundments.
A ditch on the southern portion of the farm had been plugged to prevent water draining from
the farm prior to NCWRC acquisition. This ditch was excavated to a depth equal to the receiving
waters of the Little Alligator River, the earthen plug removed, and a collapsed culvert replaced.
The removal of the earthen plug and replaced collapsed culvert now allows water to freely
move on and off the property. Prior to the property's acquisition by the NCWRC, the majority
of the site's water drained through a community shared canal and pump station on the western
end of the property. To change direction of the flow, an earthen dam was installed in the
southern perimeter canal. The plugging of this canal forces water out through the reopened
ditch on the southern tip of the farm; thereby receiving flows from 92% of the game land area
that was previously drained through the shared canal and pump station on the western edge of
the property. The work completed in Phase 1 was conducted under the appropriate USACE
and NCDWR permits. Only the work completed in the ditch on the southern tip of the property,
including ditch clean out and culvert replacement, was within NCDCM's jurisdiction. A general
permit was issued for this work.
Phase 2 is currently in progress. This involves re -topping an existing impoundment and
constructing two additional units in agricultural fields. The new waterfowl impoundments will
have the associated WCS's to allow for water level management. A second centralized pump
station will be installed to allow water to be pumped into or out of the three Phase 2
impoundments.
�ECE1V �®
FEB 14 2019
DCM W ARO

It has been determined the newly installed culvert from Phase 1 at the end of the southern
ditch has allowed the impoundment system to be affected by high tide and wind driven events.
To remove the effect of high water inundation and salt water intrusion from these highwater
events, the NCWRC proposes a WCS be installed at the location of the new culvert. Stoplogs in
the WCS could be manually inserted prior to high water events to prevent water flows into the
impoundment system. Stoplogs with hinged flap gates could be inserted to serve as tide gates.
This would allow water to flow from the property but prevent water from entering the system
during highwater events. The WCS would not restrict water flows coming into the
impoundment system or alter aquatic habitat opportunities any more than the previous
earthen dam that was removed one year ago. Water management on and off the property
would be conducted as it has been to facilitate impoundment function.
Shorebird use increases in late February through early May as they are resting, feeding, and
staging for the migration north. Late winter waterfowl use peaks in January and February as
they too are preparing for the migration north. During these months, water levels within the
impoundments are slowly drawn down exposing new forage areas for shorebirds and
waterfowl. During this drawdown period, the stoplogs will be positioned to allow water to
gravity flow off the property.
Fall shorebird migration begins in mid-July and runs through early October. However, some
studies suggest that many shorebirds take a different route in the fall of the year that seems to
hop over much of eastern NC. Blue -winged teal followed by green -winged teal are typically
some of the earliest waterfowl migrants arriving in the region in September. Some of the
heaviest waterfowl migrations south occur in mid-November. During this fall migration period,
water levels in the impoundment units will be raised creating mudflats for shorebirds and
shallow water areas for wading birds and waterfowl with average water depths 6" to 8". The
boards in the proposed WCS would be removed to facilitate pumping through the ditch on the
southern portion of the farm during this period.
As previously mentioned, this property has been managed as a waterfowl impoundment for
over 25 years. The proposed WCS in the southern ditch does not change or restrict flows and
aquatic habitat opportunities any more than the previous earthen dam and collapsed culvert.
However, the WCS would address impacts the system is receiving from high water inundation
and salt water intrusion the newly installed culvert has introduced.

acres of the tract. 125 acres of loblolly pine and hardwood plantations were established in 2000 under NRCS and FSA CRP
programs. Seven acres of pine plantations have been clearcut and reforested in mixed oaks and bald cypress seedlings in
2018.
f.
Man-made features and uses now on tract
Six miles of dikes impound 228 acres in 7 waterfowl impoundment units. The impoundments are serviced by 2 permanent
pump stations. A series of fiashboard riser water control structures and culverts aid access throughout the tract for hunter
access, land management operations, and farming operations. A derelick house sits on a lot off of Fort Landing Road.
Uses consists of agricultural operations, wildlife opening management, waterfowl impoundment management, public
hunting, trapping and wildlife observation opportunities, and timber management.
g.
Identify and describe the existing land uses ad acent to the proposed project site.

a. Will the project be for commercial, public, or private use? [_]Commercial NPublic/Government
❑Private/Community
b. Give a brief description of purpose, use, and daily operations of the project when complete.
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission began a Waterfowl Habitat Enhancement project in 2017. Part of this
project included cleaning out a man-made ditch and replacing a culvert that had failed. The ditch was plugged with an
earthen dam by previous landowners prior to State acquisition preventing water from entering or leaving the system. The
removal of the earthen dam and replacing the collapsed culvert now allows water to freely move into and off of the property.
It has been determined that replacing the new culvert with a water control structure will prevent inundation during high tide
and wind driven events and reduce salt water intrusion inland. The stoplogs in the water control structure can be manually
inserted in preparation of abnormally high tide or wind driven tide events to prevent water flowing inland. Stoplogs with
hinged flap gates could be inserted most of the year that would prevent water from flowing inland when the river side of the
water control structure is higher than the inland side while also naturally releasing water through gravity flow during periods
when inland water levels exceed the rivers water level.
c. Describe the proposed construction methodology, types of construction equipment to be used during construction, the number of each type
of equipment and where it is to be stored.
Two cofferdams will likely be installed, one on each side of the existing culvert, and the water pumped out to facilitate water
control structure installation. The existing soil roadbed and the culvert will be removed with an excavator. Water control --
structure upright will likely receive a concrete base at the site and lowered to the elevations described in drawings attached
as required for part 6-b. After the water control structure is installed, the pipe will be covered using material removed while
removing culvert. This is a short-term project and equipment could be stored on adjacent roads or on inland uplands.
d. List all development activities you propose.
Replace an existing culvert with a flash board riser water control structure. Some of the stoplogs used may incorporate
hinged flapgates that will allow water to drain from the system while preventing storm surge innodation and salt water
intrusion.
e. Are the proposed activities maintenance of an existing project, new work, or both? Both: Original permitted designs
allowed for the replacement of a
collapsed culvert. That work is
complete. Our proposal is to replace
the new culvert with a water control
structure.
f. What is the approximate total disturbed land area resulting from the proposed project? 300 NSq.Ft or ❑Acres
