Archbell Point Beaufort County Project setting PCS Phosphate, Inc. (PCS) is a mining and refining industry located near the Town of Aurora in Beaufort County, North Carolina. PCS has extensive land holdings in this area of the county bordering the Pamlico River, Bath Creek, South Creek and their tributaries. Tlne proposed project area involves a 430 acre tract of land off SR 1339 adjacent Bath Crock and within the ETJ of the "Town of Bath. The project area is approximately 2,550 f'cct of shoreline at Archbell Point on Bath Creek. The majority of the shoreline is vegetated with mixed hardwoods (including cypress), shrubs, vines and upland grasses, Several large agriculture tracts abut this wooded buffer to the creek. In the upper third (north end) of the project area, a wetland slue intersects the creek and is ± 190' wide. This area is vegetated with pines, cypress, sex s p. and arrow arum. The downstream end of the project area is the toe of an existing dike which impounded Archbell Gut when it was constructed prior to 1970. An area of Spartina l?teniflua ± 750 ft2 is present at this area of the project site but the applicant proposes to construct the bulkhead landward of this marsh. The area adjacent the downstream (south) end of the project area is bulkheaded and has a pier, and is vegetated with lawn grass and several hardwoods. The upstream (north) end of the project area is a gut and on the other side of this gut is a bulkheaded and developed lot. This area is vegetated with mixed hardwoods, shrubs and vines as well as several species of wetland vegetation in the gut itself. The site elevation is ::? 8 to 10 feet above the NWL along this section of Bath Creek. Bath Creek classified as SB-NSW by the Environmental Management Commission and is designated as an inland PNA by the Wildlife Resources Commission. Bath Creek is not open to shell fishing. Project description The applicant proposes to construct X2,110 feet of bulkhead along the upland portions of the project site. The bulkhead will average 1 foot landward of the N1V-L and will project into the water a maximum of 2 feet. Riprap is proposed along an approximately 190' section of wooded wetland as well as at the toe of the existing dike road 0250') at the downstream (south) end of the project site. The riprap will average 2 feet below the NWL and will project into the water a maximum of2 feet.

Archbell Point Beaufort County Page Two The applicant proposes to grade the existing bluff down to the new bulkhead. This grading activity will disturb an average of width of 30' for a total impact of ±63,300 ft' of high ground. Anticipated impacts The project as proposed will result in the filling of ?L 910 ft' of creek bottom associated with the placement of the riprap as well as ±240 ftz of creek bottom associated with the construction of the bulkhead. Approximately 63,300 ft2 of high ground will be disturbed. The project as proposed will result in localized turbidity as a result of the construction activities. David W.
