4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:

4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:

4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
To perform maintenance dredging in the state maintained ferry basin located in Southport, NC. Significant shoaling has occurred in the basin, specifically within the ferry slips. This has
made travel in and out of the basin a safety concern for ferry personnel and the travelling public.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
Upon examination of the latest survey, the NC DOT Ferry Division is planning to only dredge within the ferry slips at the ferry basin during the upcoming dredging event. The slips are
the only areas of the the basin and channel that have shoaled in significantly and pose safety concerns for ferry passage to and from Southport. The most recent survey, dated
October 08, 2019, displays a total of 117,631 that would need to be removed from the channel and basin to meet our permitted depth of 14'. Given that our only area of concern at this
time is the ferry slips, it is estimated that approximately 15,000 cubic yards of material will be excavated and pumped into the spoil site during this dredging event.
All work will be completed by the NC DOT Ferry Division Marine Maintenance crew who operate the state owned hydraulic pipeline dredge "Manteo." All material removed from the
Southport ferry basin will will be pumped into the adjacent spoil site. The spoil site has ample to capacity to accommodate the proposed amount of material to be excavated. NC DOT
owns the land on which the spoil site sits and had a current mining permit (#10-86). Due to sturgeon and turtle moratoriums dredging activities will not begin until the week of January 1,
2020. Equipment that will be used includes the Dredge Manteo, tugs, small barges, and an excavator for spoil site activities.
