Dear Mr. Wood:

Re: Mann's Harbor Boat Basin dredging

DEM #951263

As a followup to our recent telephone conversation, an onsite survey for submerged aquatic
vegetation (SA V) will be needed before DEM can issue the required 401 Water Quality Certification for
this project. If SA V's are present, an attempt must be rnade to rninirnize this impact in order to protect
the aquatic life function of this vegetation. Until the survey is complete I hereby request that the Division
of Coastal Managernent place the project on hold due to incornplete inforrnation.

I can be reached at 919-733-1786 if you have any questions.

Dear Mr. Dorney:

This letter is in response to your request for a submerged aquatic vegetation survey to
be performed at the Manns Harbor boat basin in response to OEM project #951263.
We performed the submerged aquatic vegetation survey on January 22, 1996.

The finding of our survey revealed that submerged aquatic vegetation was very sparse
in the proposed dredging area. On the western end of the canal, there was the
greatest accumulation of submerged aquatic vegetation. This vegetation consisted
primarily of Eurasian Water Milfoil (Myriophyllum ~). It appears that most of the
Water Milfoil in this area was unattached and had been blown into the head of the
canal. Approximately halfway down into the canal was some very sparse areas of
attached Eursaian Milfoil. At the eastern end of the channel before entering Croatan
Sound, there was a few attached areas of Zostera Marina. This area of Zostera was
extremely sparse and was intermixed with very sparse accumulations of floating milfoil.
The area was less than 10 square feet.

In general the entire alignment of the existing canal contained sparse populations of
submerged aquatic vegetation, and probably represents the continued use of this area
as a active boating access to the commercial facilities at the western end of the canal.
We believe that there are only scattered sprigs of attached submerged aquatics and
accumulations of water blown detached submerged aquatics in the area. I hope that
this survey will satisfy your needs and allow you to proceed with the processing of the
application for dredging.

Site Description

The proposed dredge project is located along a man-made canal in Manns Harbor, adjacent to
Old Ferry Dock Road (SR 1110) in Dare County. The canal is lined with docks, shacks and net
houses on the southern bank which terminates in front of Benny's Seafood and boat dock.
Submerged boats are located along the southern edge of the canal adjacent to some of the docks
and one net house has collapsed into the canal. Much of the docking facilities along the canal
are in a state of disrepair. Located near the mouth of the canal, next to the old Croatan Ferry
Dock, is a public dock and boat ramp. Along the north bank of the canal, extending from the
mouth of the canal approximately 950' , is vacant land consisting of both high ground and marsh.
Plant species along the high ground area include, but are not limited to, Loblolly Pine (pinus
taeda), Wax Myrtle (Myrica cerifera), Silvering; Groundsel-tree (Baccharis halimifolia), and Sea
Ox-eye (Borrichia frutescens). Towards the mouth of the canal is a marsh primarily consisting
of Black Needlerush (Juncus romerianus).

The canal turns in a northeasterly direction and runs past Benny's Seafood, this portion of the
canal is not included in the dredging project. All dredging will be confined to the main canal
extending from the sound along Old Ferry Dock Road to the south side of Benny's Seafood.
Located across the canal from the fish house is a high ground area that was used as a dredge
spoil site when the canals were originally dug. The high ground area is where the spoil material
will be placed should the permit be issued. The proposed site is currently used to store crab
pots, nets, vehicles and net poles. A 20'x 30' net house and two storage containers located on
the site will be removed in order to accommodate the spoil retention area. The high ground site
is approximately 250'x 80' and has a long dock lining the northwest bank, across from Benny's
Seafood. Plant species found in and around the proposed spoil site include, but are not limited
to, Loblolly Pine, Wax Myrtle, Sea Ox-eye, Black Needlerush, Partridge Pea (Cassia
fasciculata), Common Reed (Phragmites communis), and Straw Colored Umbrella Sedge
(Cyperus strigosus).

The project divides the canal into two sections: 1) The turning basin; and, 2) access channel.
According to staff findings water depths range from 4.5' to 6' in the turning basin and 4.16' to
a connecting depth of 8' in the access channel. The total length of the turning basin and channel
is approximately 1188'. The turning basin has an average width of 36' and the channel has an
average width of 39'. The application states that the average width of the turning basin is 29'
and the channel is 35.5'. It should be noted that while no submerged aquatic vegetation was
specifically found in the water, Eurasian Water-milfoil (Myriophyllum spiCatum) was found in
the rack line along the bank.

Proposed Development

Dare County and the Oregon Inlet Waterways Commission proposed to hydraulically dredge a
canal and channel accessing a commercial fish house, several small independent fishing

operations and a public access in Manns Harbor. According to the application and plan submitted
165.3 cubic yards of material will be dredged from the turning basin and 1,331 cubic yards will
be dredged from the access channel, for a total of 1,496.3 cubic yards of spoil. The spoil area
is noted in the application as being approximately 230'x 65'x 10' with a holding capacity of
3,422 cubic yards. The "Area of Environmental Concern" that will be disturbed for proposed
spoil retention site is estimated at 14,950 square feet, while the area of shallow water habitat that
will be disturbed is estimated to be 38,839.5 square feet.

Staff calculations indicate slightly different figures noted above, but they do not appear to be
significantly different. Per field verification the average depth of the turning basin is
approximately 5.5' deep with an average width of 36'. The width of the dredge channel was
calculated at 27.66' , taking into consideration the side slope and the average width of the turning
basin (See Work Sheet #1). Based on those figures it was estimated that 251 cubic yards of
material will be dredged from this -section of the canal. The access channel was determined in
a same manner by calculating the average depth of 5.3', the average width of 39' and the dredge
channel with (in consideration with the slope). The resulting width of the access channel bottom
was determined to be 32'. Based on these figures it was estimated that 1,360 cubic yards of
dredge material will be removed from the access channel. The result of the staff analysis
indicates a total of 1,611 cubic yards of spoil being generated from the total proj ect and will
disturb a total of 44,793 square feet .of shallow water habitat.

The spoil retention area was also calculated in a manner that differed slightly from that
submitted by the applicants agent, but indicates that the necessary holding capacity can be
provided. The proposed site is approximately 250'x 80'. By calculating the size of the berm,
which is 10' feet high at a 1:1 slope the resulting base is 20' wide (See Work Sheet #2). For the
purpose of determining the actual holding capacity the berm is calculated at a width of 15' as
noted on work sheet #2. The width of the berm (15') in conjunction with a reasonable setback
from NWL (10') significantly reduces the area available for the spoil material (See Work Sheet
#3). The maximum "free" area is 200'x 30'x 8', which results in 1,777.77 cubic yards of
holding capacity. The total area to be disturbed within the AEC landward of the canal will be
approximately 13,800 square feet (230'x 60'), including the berm.

Anticipated Impacts

The project will result in the disturbance of approximately 44,793 square feet of shallow water
habitat and 13,800 square feet of high ground located within the Area of Environmental
Concern. Although not specifically found during the field visit there is indication that some
submerged aquatic vegetation may be present in the project area. There will be some localized
turbidity associated with the project. The spoil material generated will be placed on a high
ground site adjacent to the canal being dredged. Effluent will be piped to the site and held until
suspended solid have settled, at which time the water will be drained Dare County/ orwC/

back into the canal. No specific information was submitted indicating settling time prior to the
reintroduction of the water into the canal. In order to accommodate the proposed spoil area the
high ground area will be cleared of debris located on the site. The proposed dredge activity will
provide improved access to commercial and recreational boaters along the canal. A desirable
impact may be the removal of a considerable amount of debris currently located in the canal.

CAMA Review and Consistency

The canal in question is classified as "joint waters" by the Wildlife Resource Commission and
Marine Fisheries, and the water itself is classified as SA by the Division of Environmental
Management. No primary or secondary nurseries are located in or near the proposed project.
The project is located in public trust water (PT), estuarine water (EW) and will effect estuarine
shoreline (ES) which are all "Areas of Environmental Concern" .

No unique remnant species, geologic formations or archeological sites are known to be
associated with this particular site. Submerged aquatic vegetation is evident in the area of the
project site and will be impacted by the work to be preformed. The National Wetland Inventory
Map provided by the Department of the Interior classifies the high ground area as upland (non-
wetland). The Dare County Soil Survey classifies the soil in the area of the spoil site a
psamments (psB), indicating that most or all of the natural soil has been disturbed or covered.

The 1994 Dare County Land Use Plan classifies unincorporated areas located in CAMA AEC's
such as, but not limited to, estuarine waters, public trust waters and wetlands as "Conservation".
The purpose of the conservation class is to provide for the long term management and protection
of significant, limited or irreplaceable areas. The conservation class applies to the high ground
spoil site being proposed as well as the canal and channel. Dare County advocates the routine
maintenance of all existing navigable channels and will work to secure permit authorization
whenever possible (p.89). The county also supports the preservation and protection of the
public's right to access and use public trust waters (p. 54).
