Two wood/rip-rap groins are proposed along the entrance channel. 150' of rip-rap rock is proposed along the waterward edge of a marsh island. PAGE 2 9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project is located on Mallard Bay Road, North of the Village of Hampstead in Pender County. The property can be reached from Highway 17 by turning onto Country Club Road or Sloop Point Loop Road. The area is just North of Harbor Village Marina, behind Belevedere Plantation Subdivision. The lots border a small man-made canal off of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. Twenty-one private property owners are involved in the project, each one owning a small, residential lot bordering the canal. These lots are shown as "C" through "18" on sheet 2 of 9 of the project drawings. Almost all of the lots are developed with houses, out buildings, driveways, landscaping, piers and docks. The elevation of the land is a few feet above the normal water level. An average size lot is 300' long by 50' wide. The lots are served by individual water supply wells and septic systems. These 21 property owners are applying to do maintenance dredging of the canal and the channel that connects the canal to the Waterway (AIWW). In addition, these property owners are applying to construct two 300' long parallel groins along the entrance channel to help maintain the dredged depth. The application indicates that the channel and canal were dug through marsh in 1960 and have remained functional until the last couple of years. The existing canal on the AIWW side of the properties is used by these residents for water access. The canal is about 20' wide. Approximately 1100 to 1200 linear feet of the canal is involved in this project. The existing water depths at low tide are 0 to -1'. The canal has experienced severe shoaling over the past few years resulting in navigation limitations, especially at low or mid-tides. Coastal wetlands, Snartina alterniflora marsh, has been growing and migrating onto the sand shoals where the canal meets the entrance channel. This marsh growth has made navigation from the channel around the corners into the canal more difficult. The applicants are proposing to move this marsh out of the way and transplant it in the areas listed as "Transplant Area I" and "Area II" as indicated on Sheet 5 of 9 of the project drawings. There are seven small boat basins along the canal in the project area. Most of these basins are also shoaled in and some are partially colonized in marsh grass. Maintenance dredging of these basins is included in this project. About 700-1000 square feet of marsh would be excavated in these basin areas. The existing entrance channel connects the canal with the AIWW. The entrance channel is approximately 20' to 25' wide and 300' long to get to an existing water depth of 4' at low tide. The existing water depths at low tide are 0 to -3' in the 300' long portion to dredged. According to the applicant, the Spartina alterniflora marsh is also encroaching or migrating into the channel, causing the open water channel to be more narrow than it once was. However, no marsh removal is proposed in the area along the channel. The applicant has proposed the construction of two vertical wooden groins, one on each side of the channel. The groins are to be located between the existing marsh and the open water with the intention being to stop the migration of the marsh and help maintain the dredged depth of the channel. No back fill is associated with the groins. They would be free-standing units. The wooden groins are being proposed at the neck of the channel near the canal, approximately 50' long. Once the channel widens somewhat, the applicant proposes to switch from vertical, wooden groins to rip-rap groins which take more room. The applicant is applying to extend the groin systems a little over 300 from the entrance to the canal. See sheet 5 of 9 of the project drawings. The 300' length would put the groins in line with some existing piers to the south of the project as depicted on sheet 2 of 9. Page 3 Also proposed is placement of rip-rap rock waterward of an existing marsh "island" just north of the proposed rip-rap groins. This is proposed with the idea that the rock will slow the erosion and migration of the marsh. Some 150' of marsh shoreline would be involved in this effort. This is shown on sheet 5 of 9. The rip-rap rock would be approximately 6' wide and of sufficient size to remain in place within the tidal zone. If the dredging project is accomplished, the canal would be -4' deep at mean low water and the entrance channel would be -4' at mean low water. The dredging project would be accomplished by use of a dragline or backhoe on land in conjunction with a bucket and barge in the water. The material to be dredged is sand and muck. The applicant has calculated that approximately 4400 cubic yards of material needs to be removed to reach the desired depths of -4' at low tide. The spoil material is to be placed on the property owner's back yards bordering the canal. Adequate sedimentation measures would be required to keep the material on site. The spoil material would be stockpiled until sufficient drying occurred that the material could be spread out over the lots and seeded. The applicant indicates that the material would be from a few inches to approximately 2 feet deep when spread. The waters of the AIWW in this area have been designated as Primary Nursery Area by the Division of Marine Fisheries. There are live shellfish in the area to be dredged and the waters are open to the taking of shellfish as determined by Shellfish Sanitation. The waters in this area have been classified as SA by the Division of Water Quality. 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS Possible navigational impacts need to be reviewed in conjunction with the proposal to construction the 300' long groins. To this writer's knowledge, no engineering work has been done relative to the location of the proposed groins, size of rip-rap, height and slope of the rip-rap, etc. This writer's expertise does = include being able to evaluate the potential for failure or success of this design. It is unknown whether these groin structures could cause undue interference with U. S. Army Corps of Engineers' projects in the AIWW. Disturbance of the shallow bottom by dredging will likely result in mortality of any and all creatures in contact with the operation. Turbidity will likely result from the dredging. The dredging will affect about 30,000 square feet of shallow bottom. The rip-rap groins could result in the "filling" of 8200 square feet of public trust/estuarine waters with rock. As much as 2.3 acres of high ground may be disturbed by the spoil disposal part of this project. Approximately 1800 square feet of Spartina alte iflora marsh will be excavated as a result of the dredging proposal. This writer does not recommend that marsh grass be "replanted" in Transplant Area I, since that area is actively colonizing in marsh on its own. Human intervention in this area could prove to be more harmful than helpful. Transplant Area II is open to the AIWW and receives regular overwash from boat wakes. The potential success of establishing or re- establishing marsh in Area II is unknown. Janet M. Russell / Wilmington / September 22, 1998 Form DCM-MP-1 CE H V lq"?" APPLICATI ;?

II. SITE OF PROPOSED PROJECT: On west side of ICWW, just north of the coastal town of Hampstead, at Buoy Marker 94 at Mallard Bay Road, NC 1566 III. PROPOSED PROJECT: A. CANAL - (approximately 1100 feet long x 20 feet wide x 4 feet deep at mean low tide); canal fronts multiple developed residential properties of non-associated property owners. B. CHANNEL - (approximately 300 feet long x 25 feet wide x 4 feet deep at mean low tide); connects the canal listed in III.A. above, with the ICWW. Banks of channel to the ICWW would be stabilized by heavy riprap. IV. PARTICIPANTS: a group of individual, non-associated property owners. SEE enclosed list of participants). Owners are requesting this permitted activity to improve the functionality and recreational use of the canal and channel. Our goal is to implement our plan in a manner that will be consistent with sound environmental management and prudent use of participants' financial investment. V. ACTION: A. CANAL - A clamshell dragline, sitting on the mainland, will be used for maintenance digging in the canal. All spoil from this digging will be deposited in the yard of the individual property owners. Spoil will be contained by a specification-installed silt fence for approximately 4 to 5 months. After this waiting period, spoil will be spread on the property of each individual property owner and immediately re-seeded. (SEE enclosed drawings for canal project). B. CHANNEL - A barge with clamshell dragline will be used to perform maintenance digging in the channel. All spoil will be placed on the barge and removed to a site selected by the dredger and approved by CAMA. SEE enclosed drawings and details). C. REVETMENT / SILL / JETTY - To preserve the channel and help in the restoration of landmass and marsh grass, a revetment/sill/jetty will be placed on both sides of the channel. (SEE enclosed drawingsof a x e-lip ? riprap armor). - r j ' `t i DIVISION OF DREDGING: PERMIT DIALOGUE to accompany Application, May 98 COASTAL. MANN G , -tvk" SUBJECT: MAINTENANCE DREDGING - CANAL & CHANNEL DATE: Submission Month: May 1998 Page 2 V. ACTION: continued D. MARSH GRASS - When the channel and canal (Detail A & B) were effectively closed by Hurricanes Bertha and Fran, marsh grass quickly sprouted and has encroached on the original channel and canal. It is proposed that some ( _ sq. ft.) of the new grass be transplanted to areas designated on Drawing 5 of 8. The net gain of marsh grass is expected to be at least 2 to 1 in the new areas. VI. OTHER INFORMATION: When the channel was dug in 1960 it was dug out through firm marsh. The channel remained basically functional until heavy weather events such as the great storm of March'93, new and heavy boating activity at Harbor Village Marina (250 yards S of our site), and Hurricanes Bertha and Fran. The NC Highway Department and ASCS aerial photographs (#26-324 dated 11/26/95) show the channel and canal clearly, from the original digging to the present time. The current appearance, however, is that of a ditch or river with only one bank. A new right hand bank is necessary, at a minimum, in order to return the channel to its original depth and control the refilling by sand. I have held numerous conversations involving the design and wave energy-absorbing characteristics of the specifically proposed site. (CAMA, COE, MFD, dredgers, bulkhead builders, construction and geo engineers). While these conversations do not imply an endorsement by the contacted groups, a great deal of input was gleaned in order to create the propose es n.

Based on this review, we have identified significant uses, which would be removed or degraded by this project. These uses are Primary Nursery Area aquatic life uses. Furthermore, insufficient evidence is present in our files to conclude that your project must be built as planned in waters and/or wetlands in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0506. Therefore, unless modifications of the proposal are made as described below, we will have to move toward denial of your 401 Certification as required by 15A NCAC 2H.0507(e) and will place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information once we receive this information, our processing time will start. Until we receive additional information, we are requesting (by copy of this letter) that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers place your project on administrative hold. Please provide us with information supporting your position that states your project must be constructed as planned and that you have no practicable alternative to placing fill in these waters and/or wetlands. Specifically can you construct your development by eliminating the riprap? Any documentation such as maps and narrative that you can supply to address alternative designs for your project may be helpful in our review of your 401 Certification. Please respond within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending a copy of this information to me and one copy to Ms. Joanne Steenhuis Wilmington Regional Office at 127 Cardinal Drive Extension Wilmington NC 28405.

Two wood/rip-rap groins are proposed along the entrance channel. 150' of rip-rap rock is proposed along the waterward edge of a marsh island. PAGE 2 9. Pf OJECT DESCRIPTION: This project is located on Mallard Bay Road, North of the Village of Hamp tead in Pender County. The property can be reached from Highway 17 by turning onto Country Club Road or Sloop Point Loop Road. The area is just North of Harbor Village Marina, behind Belev ere Plantation Subdivision. The lots border a small man-made canal off of the Atlantic Intrac astal Waterway. Twen1 -one private property owners are involved in the project, each one owning a small, residential lot borde ' g the canal. These lots are shown as "C" through "18" on sheet 2 of 9 of the project drawings. Ze0e] ; t all of the lots are developed with houses, out buildings, driveways, landscaping, piers and docks. evation of the land is a few feet above the normal water level. An average size lot is 300' long by 50' wide. The lots are served by individual water supply wells and septic systems. These• 21 property owners are applying to do maintenance dredging of the canal and the channel that connects the canal to the Waterway (AIWW). In addition, these property owners are applying to cons t? ct two 300' long parallel groins along the entrance channel to help maintain the dredged depth. The a lication indicates that the channel and canal were dug through marsh in 1960 and have remained functional until the last couple of years. The e '=bout20' g canal on the AIWW side of the properties is used by these residents for water access. The canal 'wide. Approximately 1100 to 1200 linear feet of the canal is involved in this project. Thee 'sting water depths at low tide are 0 to -1'. The canal has experienced severe shoaling over the past i:ew years resulting in navigation limitations, especially at low or mid-tides. Coastal wetlands, alterniflom marsh, has been growing and migrating onto the sand shoals where the canal meets the entrance channel. This marsh growth has made navigation from the channel around the corners into the ca more difficult. The applicants are proposing to move this marsh out of the way and transplant it in he areas listed as "Transplant Area I" and "Area H" as indicated on Sheet 5 of 9 of the project are seven small boat basins along the canal in the project area. Most of these basins are also t in and some are partially colonized in marsh grass. Maintenance dredging of these basins is d in this project. About 700-1000 square feet of marsh would be excavated in these basin areas. The e 'sting entrance channel connects the canal with the AIWW. The entrance channel is approximately 20' ti 25' wide and 300' long to get to an existing water depth of -4' at low tide. The existing water depths at low tide are 0 to -3' in the 300' long portion to dredged. According to the applicant, the ora marsh is also encroaching or migrating into the channel, causing the open water chan7.h more narrow than it once was. However, no marsh removal is proposed in the area along the cThe applicant has proposed the construction of two vertical wooden groins, one on each side c nnel. The groins are to be located between the existing marsh and the open water with the inteng to stop the migration of the marsh and help maintain the dredged depth of the channel. No b is associated with the groins. They would be free-standing units. The wooden groins are beinged at the neck of the channel near the canal, approximately 50' long. Once the channel wider hat, the applicant proposes to switch from vertical, wooden groins to rip-rap groins which take r m. The applicant is applying to extend the groin systems a little over 300 from the entrance to the See sheet 5 of 9 of the project drawings. The 300' length would put the groins in line with some piers to the south of the project as depicted on sheet 2 of 9. Page 1 3 Also proposed is placement of rip-rap rock waterward of an existing marsh "island" just north of the prop(sed rip-rap groins. This is proposed with the idea that the. rock will slow the erosion and migration of the marsh. Some 150' of marsh shoreline would be involved in this effort. This is shown on sheet 5 of ). The rip-rap rock would be approximately 6' wide and of sufficient size to remain in place within the ti al zone. If the dredging project is accomplished, the canal would be -4' deep at mean low water and the entrance chars el would be -4' at mean low water. The dredging project would be accomplished by use of a drag] ine or backhoe on land in conjunction with a bucket and barge in the water. The material to be dredged is sand and muck. The applicant has calculated that approximately 4400 cubic yards of material need-, to be removed to reach the desired depths of -4' at low tide. The spoil material is to be placed on the F roperty owner's back yards bordering the canal. Adequate sedimentation measures would be requi ed to keep the material on site. The spoil material would be stockpiled until sufficient drying oectu red that the material could be spread out over the lots and seeded. The applicant indicates that the mate: 'al would be from a few inches to approximately 2 feet deep when spread. The of the 10 ters of the AIWW in this area have been designated as Primary Nursery Area by the Division of Fisheries. There are live shellfish in the area to be dredged and the waters are open to the taking fish as determined by Shellfish Sanitation. The waters in this area have been classified as SA by ision of Water Quality. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS Possible navigational impacts need to be reviewed in conjunction with the proposal to construction the 300' ong groins. To this writer's knowledge, no engineering work has been done relative to the location of th proposed groins, size of rip-rap, height and slope of the rip-rap, etc. This writer's expertise does = i clude being able to evaluate the potential for failure or success of this design. It is unknown whet er these groin structures could cause undue interference with U. S. Army Corps of Engineers' proje is in the AIWW. Dis ance of the shallow bottom by dredging will likely result in mortality of any and all creatures in con t with the operation. Turbidity will likely result from the dredging. The dredging will affect about 30,0( square feet of shallow bottom. The rip-rap groins could result in the "filling" of 8200 square feet of pu lic trust/estuarine waters with rock. As much as 2.3 acres of high ground may be disturbed by the spoil disposal part of this project. Approximately 1800 square feet of Snartina 1 erniflora marsh will be excac ated as a result of the dredging proposal. This writer does not recommend that marsh grass be "replanted" in Transplant Area I, since that area is actively colonizing in marsh on its own. Human inter ention in this area could prove to be more harmful than helpful. Transplant Area II is open to the AIW and receives regular overwash from boat wakes. The potential success of establishing or re- ,.stab 'shing marsh in Area II is unknown. Janet M. Russell / Wilmington / September 22, 1998 Form E C141-NIP-1 1. a APPLICATI HIV `?

H. SITE OF PROPOSED PROJECT: On west side of ICWW, just north of the coastal town of Hampstead, at Buoy Marker 94 at Mallard Bay Road, NC 1566 III. PROPOSED PROJECT: A. CANAL - (approximately 1100 feet long x 20 feet wide x 4 feet deep at mean low tide); canal fronts multiple developed residential properties of non-associated property owners. B. CHANNEL - (approximately 300 feet long x 25 feet wide x 4 feet deep at mean low tide); connects the canal listed in III.A. above, with the ICWW. Banks of channel to the ICWW would be stabilized by heavy riprap. IV. PARTICIPANTS: a group of individual, non-associated property owners. SEE enclosed list of participants). Owners are requesting this permitted activity to improve the functionality and recreational use of the canal and channel. Our goal is to implement our plan in a manner that will be consistent with sound environmental management and prudent use of participants' financial investment. V. ACTION: A. CANAL - A clamshell dragline, sitting on the mainland, will be used for maintenance digging in the canal. All spoil from this digging will be deposited in the yard of the individual property owners. Spoil will be contained by a specification-installed silt fence for approximately 4 to 5 months. After this t waiting period, spoil will be spread on the property of each individual property owner and immediately re-seeded. (5EE enclosed drawings for canal project). B. CHANNEL - A barge with clamshell dragline will be used to perform maintenance digging in the channel. All spoil will be placed on the barge and removed to a site selected by the dredger and approved by CAMA. SEE enclosed drawings and details). C. REVETMENT / SILL / JETTY - To preserve the channel and help in the restoration of landmass and marsh grass, a revetment/sill/jetty will be placed on both sides of the channel.

SUBJECT: MAINTENANCE DREDGING - CANAL & CHANNEL DATE: Submission Month: Mav 1998 Page 2 V. ACTION: continued D. MARSH GRASS - When the channel and canal (Detail A & B) were effectively closed by Hurricanes Bertha and Fran, marsh grass quickly sprouted and has encroached on the original channel and canal. It is proposed that some ( _ sq. ft.) of the new grass be transplanted to areas designated on Drawing 5 of 8. The net gain of marsh grass is expected to be at least 2 to 1 in the new areas. N'I. OTHER INFORMATION: When the channel was dug in 1960 it was dug out through firm marsh. The channel remained basically functional until heavy weather events such as the great storm of March '93, new and heavy boating activity at Harbor Village Marina (250 yards S of our site), and Hurricanes Bertha and Fran. The NC Highway Department and ASCS aerial photographs (#26-324 dated 11/26/95) show the channel and canal clearly, from the original digging to the present time. The current appearance, however, is that of a ditch or river with only one bank. A new right hand bank is necessary, at a minimum, in order to return the channel to its original depth and control the refilling by sand. I have held numerous conversations involving the design and wave energy-absorbing characteristics of the specifically proposed site. (CAMA, COE, MFD, dredgers, bulkhead builders, construction and geo engineers). While these conversations do not imply an endorsement by the contacted groups, a great deal of input was gleaned in order to create the propose es n. SUBMITTED BY: DNEY .

We would really love to see you here - you are always very welcome to stay in our home! Hope we see you some other time over here, it is really worth the trip and the return flights are getting less expensive. Do you know about Miles' & Cindy's plans to come to Europe? How are they? Thanks for keeping us up to date: You can assure Rodney that we are interested in dredging - \it will be good to have a clear CAMA-statement on this. In case we have to sign a form, just fax it to-++49 89 17 99 81 98. Otherwise we will appreciate if you could sign for us. A year to dry for the sludge sounds like a long time. Will they spread the stuff right away into the right place? e.g. create a nice shoulder towards the water and render part of the ground even - instead of a slope, as it is now. We would be glad to get some estimates about cubic footage that they intend to pump out. And there is still the question of dredging depth at mean low tide (4ft is nice, 8ft is safer). We all should also investigate with a gardener or lawn specialist if we could roll or cut the existing sod or put new one on top the sludge and how long it will take until it will be useable. We definitely would like to see some of that solid St. Augustine grow again soon, like all of you, don't you? We are glad that you are all well and things are going on. We often think of you and the nice Mallard "paradise" and we hope to visit you soon and do some work around the house. After all, we are also getting some sunny & warm weather. Did you see Astrid when she visited Wilmington on a business trip? Best regards. Peter & Ingrid A B C F z V?
