Crow, Director I- c.d/ ?1 11 ??ie lSfe? lice We.have received information concerning the above project from the State Clearinghouse. A search of our maps and files has located the following structures of historic or architectural importance within the general area of the Register Place Estates subdivision: 1. The Register House, a house which appears to be more than fifty years old; and 2. A circa 1920s service station and store, located on the NE side of SR 1403, 2.8 miles east of its junction with US 17 The Register House does not appear to be individually eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Although the service station and store were determined to be potentially eligible for listing in the National Register in 1985, the proposed project should not have an effect on the property. By letter of June 11, 1999 (enclosed) we recommended that a comprehensive archaeological survey of the property be conducted. Having made a preliminary reconnaissance survey (summary enclosed), we re-confirm this recommendation. Given the findings of the reconnaissance, we recommend that any permits issued for the project include the following condition: Prior to any ground disturbing activities associated with the proposed Register Place Estates, an archaeological survey will be conducted of Lots 15-26 at the eastern end of the property, and the results provided to the NC Division of Archives and History for their review and comment. We would be happy to help develop a scope of work for the project. Please contact Mark Wilde-Ramsing at our Underwater Archaeology Unit (910/458-9042).

Deputy State 14istoric Preservation Officer SUBJECT: Register Place Estates/BG Partnership, SR 1404 and SR 1403, Middle Sound, New Hanover County, ER 99-9053 Division of Archives and History Jeffrey J. Crow, Director Thank you for your memorandum of May 21, 1999, concerning the above project. We have reviewed the above permit application for a proposed twenty-six-lot family residential subdivision with a twenty-six-slip community marina. Your agency and the applicant should be aware that the Middle Sound region of the coast is extremely rich in archaeological remains from the prehistoric and historic period. These include Native American encampments, eighteenth century plantations, and nineteenth century farmsteads. The well-drained soils, hardwood forests, and nearby marine resources made this area attractive to local inhabitants. There are no known recorded archaeological sites within the project boundaries. However, the project area has never been systematically surveyed to determine the location or significance of archaeological resources. Archaeological surveys have located prehistoric sites 31NH286, 285, 291, and 292 in the immediate area. We recommend that a comprehensive survey be conducted by an experienced archaeologist to identify the presence and significance of archaeological remains that may be damaged or destroyed by the proposed project. Potential effects on unknown resources should be assessed prior to the initiation of construction activities. The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800. Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comment, please contact Renee Gledhill-Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919/733-4763.

SITE ASSESSMENT REGISTER PLACE ESTATES RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION Nathan Henry Archaeologist Office of State Archaeology N.C. Department of Cultural Resources September 22, 1999 On September 22, 1999, Nathan Henry performed a field inspection of the proposed Register Place Estates residential subdivision to determine if a Cultural Resource impact study was warranted. The property is located off of Middle Sound Road in New Hanover County, North Carolina. Most of the 16,5-acre tract is heavily wooded and did not allow for more than a cursory inspection. Nevertheless, a small portion of the acreage, on the eastern end of the tract and abutting the intracoastal waterway is cleared, that being the site of the Register House and two outbuildings. The house is situated on a high bluff, overlooking the intracoastal watenvay (ICW), that immediately recedes into a Swale just inland of the house site. On the southern boundary of the house site a small creek extends inland from the marsh. Thick grass and foliage cover the cleared area so an inspection of the perimeter of the yard was made, looking for areas exposed by erosion. The eastern edge abutting the wetlands exhibited erosion, exposing a quantity of shell. Though no significant cultural material was found in association with the shell, it had the appearance of prehistoric midden debris. Further evidence of prehistoric human presence was found directly behind (westward) of the house and adjacent to the garage. The soil surrounding an uprooted tree contained a quantity of shell and one prehistoric ceramic fragment (Hanover series, wn impressed). Several feet away, an eroded area contained an iron nail with the appearance of nineteenth century type manufacture. No other significant cultural artifacts were found though bare spats throughout the yard were laden with small, weathered and broken shell, suggesting plowed midden. Analysis of the Lieutenant B.E. Blackford C.S.A. Map of Bruns ,ick acrd New Hanover Counties Showing the Approaches to Wilmington, N, C. (1864) indicates two salt works in operation in the vicinity of this property. What could be interpreted as a line of gun emplacements are also indicated lining the southern bank of Pages Creek and extending southward along the ICW and ending in the vicinity of this property. Since inouth of Pages Creek faced Masons Inlet in 1864, these batteries could have been used to deter Federal inoursions t1irough that inlet. The curious topography of the house site definitely suggests this possibility. Due to this project's potential for loss of important archaeological and historical information, it is felt that a professional archaeological firm should perform a cultural resource impact study. 4.

Hunt, Jr., Governor Wayne McDevitt, Secretary Kerr T. Stevens, Director May 3, 1999 MEMORANDUM TO: Gloria Putnam THROUGH: John Dorney FROM: Eric Fleek SUBJECT: Register Place Estates (New Hanover) D E N R Based on a review of the subject EA, the following comments should be addressed in the FONSI: 1. As is noted throughout the EA (Page 11, 16, and 19) there are no plans for dredging or excavation associated with the open water marina option. As detailed on Page 2: "water depths in the area of the planned community marina range from -2.5' to 3.5' mlw." It seems reasonably probable that future requests for maintenance or other dredging/excavation activities for some or all portions of this marina will be made to accommodate deeper draft boats (especially sailboats without swing up keels) who wish to depart/return from the floating marina during times of low tide. The 401 will be issued prohibiting dredging in this SA ORW water. Please elaborate on the belief that the 25 to 3.5'm1w depths will be sufficient without dredging. If there are further questions regarding this matter please feel free to contact Mr. Eric Fleek at (919) 733- 1786 or at eric-fleek@h2o.enr.state.nc.us Environmental Sciences Branch 4401 Reedy Creek Road Raleigh, North Carolina 27607 Telephone 919-733-1786 FAX # 733-9959 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post consumer paper Response to Division of Water Quality comments: DWQ stated that "The 401 will be issued prohibiting dredging in this SA ORW water. Please elaborate on the belief that 2.5' to 3.5' depths will be sufficient without dredging." Since no dredging or filling of wetlands or waters is currently proposed in association with this project, it is possible that no 401 Water Quality Certification is required. It is understood that DWQ will review the project with respect to consistency with state water quality standards. According to current DCMrules (T SA:07H.0208), structures cannot extend beyond 114 of the waterbody width. This limitation places the proposed community marina in depths of 2.5' to 3.5' mlw. Boats occupying the marina will not exceed 24' in length and most will be shorter. The planned boat lifts on the landward side of the marina are narrower and will contain the smaller boats (with less draft) occupying the facility. The smaller boats should be able to enter and leave their slips without problem. The other boats (up to 24) occupying the outer slips will have the deeper water to assist them. Deep draft fixed keel sailboats are unlikely to utilize the marina due to the presence of the boat lift cradle cross beams. Community residents who plan to moor their boats at the marina will be fully aware of the slip sizes and depth limitations of the facility. Additionally, the planned boat lifts can allow for the timing of boat trips to benefit navigation. Environmental Assessment Register Place Estates, AIWW, New Hanover County Species of fish that inhabit the AIWW, nearby creeks and Middle Sound are both migratory and permanently established. Some of the more common fish in the area include spot, seatrout, croaker, pinfish, menhaden, flounders, mullets, sea robins, lizardfish, porgy, sheepshead, black sea bass, puffer, needlefish, dogfish and bluefish. The Middle Sound area is a popular location for fishermen due to the vast network of tidal creeks and the proximity of Rich Inlet and the Atlantic Ocean. Proposed Changes The construction of the planned community marina will not require the closure of any shellfishing areas. U designed 26 Slips which are 24' long and the occupation of these slips only by boats wit?ads _or cam eliminates ted shellfishin area. Additionally, the marina's pilings will provide a hard substrate for oyster attachment and growth thereby adding to shellfish habitat area. Marina construction will not involve dredging or impacting the bottom with the exception of piling installation. This will avoid any substantial disturbance of any unknown shellfish beds or bottom fishes in the area. Impacts Considered to be insignificant Wildlife and Their Habitat The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service have provided the following list of plants and animals which are Federally-Listed, Candidate Species and Federal Species of Concern which could be present in the area of the proposed project: 3ANOVER COUNTY Common Name Scientific Name Status rte ra Shortnose sturgeon Acipenser brevirosttum Endangered Finback whale Balaenoptera physalus Endangered American alligator Alligator mississippiensis T(S/A) Humpback whale Megaptera novaeangliae Endangered Loggerhead sea turtle Caretta caretta Threatened Environmental Assessment TRegister Place Estates, AIWW, New Hanover County 16 R t Permit Class Permit Number MODIFICATION/MINOR 7-98; STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA' Department of Environment and Natural Resources and Coastal Resources Commission r X for .,` _ Major Development in an Area of Environmental Concemv: pursuant to NCGS 113A-118 \; X Excavation and/or filling,pursuant to NCGS 113-229 Issued to N.C.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this Environmental Assessment (EA) is to provide the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources and associated agencies with a decision making tool to determine if the proposed Register Place Estates project in eastern New Hanover County is of sufficient impact to the environment as to require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). If an EIS is not warranted, a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) will be issued prior to the action on a CAMA Major Development Permit. A FONSI does not assure issuance of a CAMA permit. This EA includes an address of agency concerns received following the April, 1999 submittal for DENR internal division review (see appendix). H. PERMITTING. A CAMA Major Development Permit application has been submitted to the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management and the US Army Corps of Engineers for review. The State review of this permit application is coordinated by DCM. Other commenting State agencies include the Divisions of Water Quality, Land Resources, Water Resources, Marine Fisheries, Environmental Health, Archives and . History, Community Assistance as well as the Wildlife Resources Commission, the Department of Administration and the Department of Transportation. Federal review is coordinated by the Army Corps of Engineers. Commenting Federal agencies include the Environmental Protection Agency, National Marine Fisheries Service, and the Fish and Wildlife Service. III. EXISTING ENVIRONMENT. The project site is located at the intersection of Middle Sound Loop Road and Mason Landing Road approximately 2 miles east of Ogden in eastern New Hanover County. The planned development will encompass 16.5 acres and Environmental Assessment Register Place Estates, AIWW, New Hanover County 0 w is currently owned by Edith M. Register. The property is to be purchased by the developer/applicant, BG Partnership prior to construction. BG Partnership has submitted an "offer to purchase" for the above property to the owner. Riparian landowners are Frederick and Lorraine Butler on the south side of the property and William T. and Karen Allison to the north side. The tract waterfront has approximately 775 linear feet of shoreline at mean high water which features a 200' long peninsula extending toward the AIWW. This peninsula was formed as a result of the excavation of a finger canal on the north side under Corps of Engineers permitting decades ago. The finger canal has since naturally filled in and has become revegetated coastal wetland. The remaining narrow upland peninsula formed by the original sidecasting is still present. The waterward end of the tract rises quickly to a 26' elevation within 175' of the mean high water line. This slope provides for an unobstructed view across the waterway to the back side of Figure Eight Island. From the existing Register home at the top of this slope, the topography changes little toward the western end of the property at 27' elevation some 2000' away. Soils on the tract are mapped as Lakeland, Seagate and Murville as you move away from the water. Vegetation within the coastal wetland is dominated by Spartina alterniflora with S. Patens, Salicornia sp., Borrichia frutescens and Distichlis spicata. Much of the ground cover around the existing home is St. Augustine lawn grass. The wooded western remainder of the tract contains Pinus taeda, Liquidambar styraciflua, Acer rubrum, Pinus serotina, Myrica cerifera and Smilax sp. Trees on the property suffered from extensive wind damage during 1996 due to hurricanes Bertha and Fran and further damage in 1998 from hurricane Bonnie. A hydrographic survey performed recently has shown water depths ranging from -2' mlw near the end of the peninsula to -13' mlw in the AIWW channel. Water depths in the area of the planned community marina range from -2.5' to -3.5' mlw. The near edge of the AIWW channel is located approximately 285' from mean low water off the end of the peninsula. The mean tide range in this area is roughly 3.4' with a spring tide range of 4.0. Waters adjacent to the site are classified as SA (open) ORW by the NC Division of Water Quality. SA waters are suitable for shellfishing for market purposes and any other usage specified by the SB and SC classifications. Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW) are unique and special waters of exceptional state or national recreational or ecological significance which require special protection to maintain existing uses. The intertidal and Environmental Assessment Register Place Estates, AIWW, New Hanover County 2 0 s subtidal bottom near the project site is not classified as Primary Nursery Area by the NC Division of Marine Fisheries. The subject property is zoned R-20S for residential lots of 20,000 square feet or more. The CAMA Land Use Plan classification is "conservation" and "resource protection". Drinking water will be provided by Carolina Water and sewer service will be provided by New Hanover County as funded by a passed bond referendum. Sewer system extension for the Middle Sound Loop Road area is currently being engineered with construction projected to follow in late 1999. Currently, one house with a driveway, a garage and a shed are located on the property. IV. NEED. BG Partnership proposes to develop the Register Place Estates subdivision to help provide for the housing needs within this rapidly growing portion of New Hanover County. Waterfront communities with an associated boating facility are increasingly popular among lot buyers in this region. The planned development will serve the home building needs of local residents and people relocating to the coastal area in association with employment opportunities or retirement plans. The demand for boat slips is increasing in step with population growth. s The property developer has expended time, effort and capital in the planned project and anticipates a reasonable return on investment. The developer's financial need is to satisfy the various investor's economic goals for a real estate venture in a growing market. The planned project will jointly fill the need of the public by providing opportunities for A housing and boating as well as offering needed development-related job opportunities locally. V. ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS. A. No-Build Alternative. The No-Build Alternative would leave this tract in its present state without providing a valuable opportunity for a waterfront-based community development. The residential and community marina components of this project would be well served on the subject property. Available, undeveloped property along the Intracoastal Waterway in New Hanover County with upland areas at the water's edge is increasingly difficult to find. This condition provides for maximum amenity appreciation and direct, safe access s to the community's boat slips. The substantial elevation of the property also offers a good degree of protection from tidal surges associated with hurricanes which are an on-going concern in this area. Environmental Assessment Register Place Estates, AIWW,• New Hanover County 3 0 0 The combination of the positive property attributes here supports plans for a well planned residential community with waterfront amenities. The No-Build alternative would be a lost opportunity to serve the market and the waste of a site suited for permitting and this type of development. B. Construction of a Development without a Marina. Without an associated marina, the development would miss an important opportunity to provide boating access for families r wishing to enjoy the resources of the AIWW, Middle Sound and the nearby Atlantic Ocean. Additionally, the local economy would not have the chance to realize the inflow of investment and development capital provided by the entire project. The combination of a residential subdivision with a community marina would increase the values of the lots resulting in maximum benefits to the local tax base. The existing waterfront conditions are ideal for an open water marina requiring no shoreline stabilization, no dredging and no wetland impacts. From the community property, boaters can navigate directly along the AIWW which will provide for the residents' desire to enjoy fishing, sailing and other water sports. A centralized community marina under the auspices of the homeowners association would offer the advantages of facility maintenance, pollution control and safety for residents. The planned facility would eliminate the need for additional individual residential piers which would be allowed under CAMA General Permits and would be covered by the general and specified additional conditions of the CAMA Major Development Permit. r C. Construction of a Development with an Upland Basin Marina. Following consideration of the construction of an upland basin community marina, the developer decided not to pursue this alternative for several reasons: Topographic and Spacial Limitations. In order to minimize coastal wetland impacts, the entrance channel for an upland basin mama would need to be aligned along the existing peninsula area. This upland peninsula averages approximately 22' wide between wetland lines (narrower near the outer end) and would restrict boat traffic, especially in a two way situation. Additionally, the construction of a permanent entrance channel involving the excavation of 4,600 cubic yards of material would require stabilizing each side which would be difficult without placing some form of bulkhead deadmen beyond the new channel limits (within and impacting coastal wetland). Stabilizing the same entrance channel with rock a Environmental Assessment Register Place Estates, AIWW, New Hanover County 4 a 11 would require sloping the face of the material to the excavated bottom further narrowing the navigable width by producing at least a 1:1 angle of repose to the channel depth on each side. For a 5' deep channel this would reduce the width of the channel bottom by at least 10' leaving at most a 12' wide channel bottom. This would present an unreasonable hazard to navigation for neighborhood boaters. Direct and indirect impacts to a significant area of Spartina alterniflora marsh would be unavoidable with even this minimal 22' wide channel. Excavation of the channel would extend beyond the tip of the peninsula to the -5' mlw contour roughly 230' away. This represents an additional, avoidable impact to benthic organism habitat and public bottom. An upland basin within the waterward end of the tract to accommodate the same number and sizes of boats as proposed along with the necessary bulkhead would require creating a permanent 228'x 102' hole to a depth of -5' mlw. The excavated area would need to be wider and longer at the surface to accommodate a sloping bank from the bulkhead cap area up to the current ground elevation. The basin would permanently displace approximately 20,000 cubic yards of material and a ?? much greater volume (an additional 7,000 to 8,000 cubic yards) temporarily to provide a safe and stable working environment during installation of the bulkhead and deadman system. The excavation of the entrance channel would involve removing an additional 4600 cubic yards of material. To avoid wetland excavation during construction of the surrounding bulkhead and deadman system as well as avoiding slope excavation into neighboring property, the rectangular basin would be positioned inland and the top slope would extend inland to the 26' elevation contour. This would result in a 31' deep excavation and require a tremendous earth stabilization effort utilizing a rocked 1:1 slope above the top of the bulkhead ri sing vertically some 20'. Loss of Buffer. It is well recognized that the presence of a vegetated buffer along the shoreline provides a valuable function for the environment. The Coastal Resources Commission (CRC), as part of their proposed "Coastal Shoreline" rulemaking, is currently proposing (among other items) the preservation of required vegetated buffers..... "The purpose of buffers is to reduce wetland and water quality impacts by moderating the speed and effects of stormwater runoff including stabilizing soil to prevent erosion; filtering suspended solids, bacteria and viruses, nutrients and pollutants, and moderating water level fluctuations. Environmental Assessment Register Place Estates, AIWyi, New Hanover County 0 0 Buffers also provide and enhance essential wildlife habitat and reduce direct human effects. Buffers also contribute to the overall scenic quality of the shoreline 0 environment." An inland basin marina would effectively remove a large portion of the existing completely vegetated buffer area between the top of the natural 26' slope and the shoreline. The water's edge would be pulled much closer to the development's needed impervious surfaces for road pavement and future homesites. The steep rocked slope to the basin's edge would offer little attenuation or treatment of surface flows to the basin's edge. Much of the stated benefits relating to buffer preservation would be lost contrary to the intent of the CRC. Cost. The cost of such an upland basin project would be prohibitive and an unreasonable burden to the developer. Additional costs over and above the proposed project would be associated with excavating well over 30,000 cubic yards of material and engineering then constructing a very substantial reinforced concrete bulkhead system with an extremely high riprapped slope above it up to the existing grade level at the inland end of the basin. Any future maintenance of the deadman system behind the basin wall would be a major undertaking due to the large amount of slope material and rock removal necessary. The inland wall of the bulkhead would need to be designed to bear approximately three times the load of retained material (compared to a flat site) due to the topography here. An upland basin would also translate into the loss of the most valuable acreage on the property for lot sales. Waterfront lots represent the primary profit in this type A of residential subdivision. With the upland basin, there would be no waterfront lots available due to the common area which would be designated around the marina and the fewer, remaining lots would be positioned away from the best views in the development. Estimated additional costs with an inland basin marina: . Concrete bulkhead, deadman system. $381,000 Earth excavation, backfill, grading, rock work. $250,000 Bulkhead engineering. $8,000 Waterfront lot losses. $1,525.000 Total Cost $2,164,000 Environmental Assessment Register Place Estates, AIWW, New Hanover County 6 0 0 It is recognized that an upland basin marina normally costs more to construct than an open water marina However, the estimated additional costs of constructing an upland basin on this site with its associated high topography over constructing an upland basin on a topographically flat site total $244,000. These additional costs are related to additional overburden material removal and backfill, rock work for bank stabilization, bulkhead modification in higher load-bearing areas, grading and shaping of additional removed material and additional engineering costs. Flushing, /Water ".. An open water siting for the proposed 26 slip system will maintain the maximum positive aspects of tidal flushing. The floating dock system will not inhibit the flow of beneficial ebb and flow currents past the site. Upland marina basins can and do have a degree of water exchange reduction associated 0 with their physical nature. In general, the more narrow the entrance channel - the greater the restriction to tidal exchange. The extremely narrow entrance channel described above (for the avoidance of even greater significant coastal marsh and benthic habitat destruction) would result in impacts to dissolved oxygen levels within the basin. Open water systems offer the least restriction to complete tidal exchange. In January, 1990, the Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources Division of Environmental Management Water Quality Section issued a publication titled North Carolina Coastal Marinas: Water Quality Assessment. This report summarized the results of water quality surveys performed in eight upland basin marinas along the coast and the developed Marina Dissolved Oxygen Model. The executive summary within the report stated that "Encouraged by state antidegradation policies, and to minimise impacts to sensitive shellfishing areas, developers in North Carolina have recently favored marina basins from upland areas and then connecting the basins to existing waterways via small canals or . inlets. It is recognized that this design, hereafter referred to as a two-segment (basin and channel) marina, tends to create localized areas with poor flushing, which in turn may result in stagnation and an increased accumulation of pollutants within a marina." Among the study's conclusions were: "The most pronounced differences between marina basins and ambient waters were in dissolved oxygen concentrations. Approximate average basin DO reductions from ambient levels were 0 to I mg/I for basins a Environmental Assessment Register Place Estates, AIWW,• New Hanover County 7 0 a located near inlets and 1 to 2 mg/l for those located some distance from an inlet." "Marina configurations which promoted flushing exhibited better dissolved oxygen conditions than those with restrictions (such as narrow entrance channels) or stagnant areas (from off-center entrance channels, bends, comers)." "Sediment oxygen demand (SOD) was measured at three marinas. Rates were higher than expected, ranging from 2.60 to 5.36 g 02/m2/day in the marina basins." "A simple DO model reasonably predicted field results. The model indicated that: a) Sediment oxygen demand (SOD) was the major influence on DO predictions; b) Number of boats in basin had a negligible impact on DO predictions; and c) Increasing the number of segments in a basin design decreased basin DO." The report also addressed dissolved oxygen concerns: "Effective November 1, . 1986, the Environmental Management Commission (EMC) passed rules which established that newly created areas of saltwater which are connected to SA waters by approved projects will be classified as SC. The intent of this action was to encourage the construction of marina basins in dug-out, high ground areas rather than locating them in SA waters. It was thought that the newly created basins would provide better environmental protection because marina effects would be 0 contained. A potential problem with this policy was that some of these basins could develop localized DO problems." Further: "North Carolina water quality standards state that DO shall be "not less than 5.0 mg/l, except that swamp waters, poorly flushed tidally influenced streams or embayments, or estuarine bottom waters may have lower values if caused by natural conditions (NCDEM 1989a)." 0 Anticipated violations of DO or other water quality standards could result in denial of a 401 Certification for a proposed marina." "The DO standard may be difficult for many two-segment marinas to achieve because reduced water circulation favors Environmental Assessment Register Place Estates, AIWW; New Hanover County 8 0 0 stagnation and oxygen demands can cause DO inside poorly-flushed marina basins to be lower than in adjacent open waters." 0 0 • 0 0 0 C The Marina Dissolved Oxygen Model was run for the subject Register Place Estates upland basin alternative. Ambient water quality data was provided by the Division of Water Quality from their monitoring station located at channel marker 123 near Howe Point which is approximately 1 mile south along the waterway from the project site. The project site is 2.5 miles by water from Mason Inlet. However, the inlet is heavily shoaled and Mason Creek (which connects the inlet with the waterway) goes dry at low tide demonstrating a reduced hydraulic influence on the area. Dimensional information used for the model which depicts marina surface area, channel surface area and depths was taken from the drawn upland basin alternative. The tidal range of 3.4' which was used in the model represents the average between the 3.8' range at Masonboro Inlet and the 3.0' range at New Topsail Inlet. The project site is roughly halfway between these inlets for which tidal range data is available from NOAA's National Ocean Service. The actual average tidal range at the project site is likely smaller than 3.4' due to its position farther inland from the inlet mouths and the condition of Mason Creek. Model runs were performed using SOD levels of 1, 2 and 3 gm/m2-day as recommended by DWQ to produce a range of predicted DO levels for analysis (higher SOD levels result in lower predicted DO levels). These SOD levels represent the anticipated range by DWQ staff for a basin in this area. The state report contained only one marina basin which was actually sampled for SOD in the southern coastal area, Tangle Oaks Marina. The sampled SOD level was 5.4 gm/m2-day which was high and not truly representative for comparison purposes. (Actual SOD sampling was performed at a total of three basin marinas along the state's coastline detailed in the state report. The samples produced SOD levels of between 2.6 and 5.4 gm/m2-day.) The following are the model DO predictions for the upland basin alternative: SOD level (gm/m2-day) Predicted DO level (m"ll 1.0 5.483319 2.0 4.851313 3.0 4.219305 Environmental Assessment Register Place Estates, AIWW, New Hanover County 9 C 0 The model runs indicate a predicted failure to meet the state water quality standard for DO of 5.0 mg/l at a point between SOD levels of 1 and 2, (less than the minimum state-sampled basin SOD level of 2.6). The model in association with the data contained within the state report does not indicate an optimistic outcome for the basin's resulting DO levels and its ability to meet and maintain minimum state standards. Discussions with DWQ's Environmental Sciences Branch on the results of the above model runs indeed indicates a predicted denial of a 401 Water . Quality Certification for the inland basin. Without this approval, a CAMA Major Development Permit cannot be issued. Groundwater Impacts. The excavation of a 31' deep hole to accommodate the upland basin would create a cone of depression in the watertable to an unknown distance. The effect of this lowering of the watertable and associated impacts to 0 drinking water wells, irrigation wells or jurisdictional wetlands in the area are at present unquantifiable but need to be mentioned in this alternatives analysis. Use Standards. State guidelines for Areas of Environmental Concern within the Administrative Code [T15A: 07H .0208 (b) (5) (A)] detail four marina siting scenarios in order of preference for the least damaging alternative. Further, "marina projects shall be designed to have the highest of these four priorities that is deemed feasible by the permit letting agency." The following are the four marina siting priorities and how they relate to the subject property: (I) an upland basin site requiring no alteration of wetland or estuarine habitat and providing adequate flushing by tidal or wind generated circulation; Upland basin access on the subject site is impossible without the alteration of wetland and estuarine habitat. Upland basin construction is also considered to be unfeasible for the reasons discussed in this section. (ii) an upland basin site requiring dredging for access when the necessary dredging and operation of the marina will not result in the significant degradation of existing fishery, shellfish or wetland resources and the basin design shall provide adequate flushing by tidal or wind generated water circulation; Environmental Assessment Register Place Estates, AIWW, New Hanover County 10 0 0 The basin entrance channel excavation will destroy an area of coastal marsh 366 square feet in size and channel side stabilization will potentially impact an area of coastal marsh totaling 7,590 square feet. The work beyond the marsh will destroy an area of benthic habitat 5,060 square feet in size and potentially impact an additional 2,120 square feet of unvegetated intertidal habitat. These impacts (which are avoided with the proposed open water siting) could be interpreted to be a significant . degradation. Furthermore, the adequate flushing of the basin as required for this siting alternative is in serious doubt due to the long, narrow entrance channel and as demonstrated by the results of the DO modeling. Upland basin construction is also considered to be unfeasible for the reasons discussed in this section. (iii) an open water site located outside a primary nursery area which utilizes piers or docks rather than channels or canals to reach deeper water; This marina siting reflects the proposed project. The site is outside a primary nursery area and the project will utilize a pier and floating dock system to reach deep water without dredging a channel. This marina siting alternative is also considered to be feasible. Accordingly, the applicant will also obtain an easement for the area of public bottom occupied by the marina following permitting. This preferred marina siting also avoids: 404 wetland impacts Coastal Wetland AEC impacts Benthic and intertidal habitat dredging impacts Loss of existing vegetated shoreline buffer Area groundwater impacts Violation of state water quality standards for DO (iv) an open water marina requiring excavation of no intertidal habitat, and no dredging greater than the depth of the connecting channel. a The proposed project satisfies the preferred alternative (iii) above. Environmental Assessment Register Place Estates, AIWW,• New Hanover County 11 0 0 Consistency with Local government. On January 4th, 1999, the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners approved a Special Use Permit for the proposed open water community marina. The Special Use Permit reflects an open water system with its associated lot layout. It does not approve a basin marina with a resulting altered lot layout. An upland basin marina has not been approved by the County. D. The ARplicant's Preferred Alternative. The Register Place Estates development will consist of a 26 lot single family subdivision with minimum lot sizes of 20,000 square feet and a 26 slip open water community marina. Individual lots will be offered for sale by the developer for custom home construction purposes. All infrastructure for the subdivision will be installed by the developer. r All upland development will utilize standard construction techniques and procedures. A stormwater plan has been submitted to the Division of Water Quality for review and approval prior to CAMA permit issuance as well as a sedimentation and erosion control plan submitted to the New Hanover County Engineering Department. The community marina will be constructed for use by lot owners, the developers and their guests only. No fuel sales, marine service, transient dockage or sale of marine supplies will take place in the marina. Boat lengths will be limited to 24' and no boats with heads or cabins will be allowed in the marina. The outside slip pilings will be located 29' from the southern riparian line and 66 from the northern riparian line. The waterward mooring pilings will remain 150' from the near edge of the 90' A1WW channel. The approach to the marina's floating dock system will be along an elevated wooden pier extending -70' beyond the rocked tip of the peninsula and measuring 6' wide with an associated 16'x16' gazebo. A 20' long ramp will lead down to the floating docks from the end of the pier. The floating dock spine will be 8' wide and 185' long with 5' and 4.5' x 24' double loaded fingers on either side. The 26 individual slips will be configured to accommodate electrically powered boat lifts. Boat lifts are preferred by the developer due to the open water nature of the marina and potential impacts by boat wakes and wind generated waves during storms. Boat lifts also reduce boat maintenance including the need to apply anti-fouling bottom paint. The total length of the community marina waterward of the vegetation line is 137' which is less than 1/4 of the Environmental Assessment Register Place Estates, AIWW,• New Hanover County 12 0 a distance across the waterbody. A wooden cart path will extend from the open space between lots 18 and 19 to the upland peninsula for access to the community marina. VI. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES. A. Changes in Land Use. The current county zoning of the tract as R-20S is suitable for the proposed residential neighborhood in that is permits individual lots of 20,000 square feet or more. A special use permit is required from the county for the community marina portion of the project and has been obtained prior to action on the CAMA Major Development application. The CAMA Land Use Plan classification for the property is Conservation and Resource protection. Proposed Changes. The proposed Register Place Estates development will subdivide the property into residential lots which are compatible with local zoning. The actual use of the tract will shift from a single home site to multiple home sites with a community marina amenity as approved by the New Hanover County Planning Board and Commissioners. The property is well suited for the proposed project and will fulfil the intended use by the county zoning ordinance in addition to remaining consistent with CAMA Land Use Plan classifications. Impacts The proposed project will meet the long term planning objectives established for the property and thus not negatively impact land usage. B. Wetlands. Jurisdictional 404 wetlands were delineated on site and those boundaries approved by the Corps of Engineers in June, 1998. The delineation was surveyed and appears on the enclosed plat. Jurisdictional wetlands cover 5,085 square feet or 0.12 acres and represent only 0.7% of the entire tract area. These wetlands are adjacent to the AIW W shoreline and are dominated by Coastal Wetland AEC species adapted to regular or occasional tidal inundation. Only the riprapped waterward tip of the upland peninsula is not bordered by coastal marsh. Proposed Changes The proposed project has been planned to avoid impacts to wetland areas. There are no planned areas of wetland fill or excavation. 0 Impacts No impacts to wetlands are planned. Environmental Assessment Register Place Estates, AIWW,• New Hanover County 13 0 0 C. Prime or Unique Agricultural Lands. No agricultural land exists within the boundaries of the project property. D. Public Lands. No public lands are located above mean high water on the subject property. An easement for areas of public bottom occupied by the proposed community marina will be obtained following permitting as required. E. Scenic and Recreational Areas. The Register Place Estates property overlooks the open water of the AIWW and approximately 4,000 feet of coastal marsh across Middle Sound to the rear of Figure Eight Island. This impressive scenic view will be an essential part of the project's appeal to lot buyers, residents and guests. The development will serve to enhance the appreciation of this vista. The planned community marina will serve residents and their guests by providing a safe, convenient boating access point from which to enjoy the many recreational opportunities offered by the waterway, Middle Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. Proposed Changes. The proposed project will allow for the increased opportunity by residents and guests to take advantage of both scenic and recreational resources. Impacts Considered to be positive. F. Areas of Archaeological or Historic Value. No areas of archaeological or historical significance are known to exist on the subject property. G. Air Quality. The Wilmington Regional Office of the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources has jurisdiction over the air quality in this location. It has been determined that the ambient air quality for New Hanover County is in compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Proposed Changes The proposed Register Place Estates project will not create a significant adverse effect on the current air quality of New Hanover County. Any air quality impacts from the operation of construction equipment will be short-term and minor. Elevation of airborne pollutants should be insignificant and represent the level of a small on-going construction site elsewhere. During the life of the proposed project, compliance with air quality standards will be required at the State and local level. Environmental Assessment Register Place Estates, AIWyI, New Hanover County 14 0 0 Impacts Considered to be insignificant. H. Groundwater Quality. The proposed project will utilize the existing drinking water system along Middle Sound Loop Road owned by Carolina Water thereby avoiding the necessity of on-site drinking water well installation. No irrigation well installation is planned. All residential waste treatment will be handled by the New Hanover County Sewer System. No waste treatment will occur on the project property. There are no plans for any fueling systems or buried underground storage tanks within the subdivision. Stormwater for the neighborhood will be controlled through the use of grassed swales to filter and treat runoff from impervious surfaces such as rooftops, streets and driveways. The R-20S zoning serves to limit the number of future homes within the development and a project of this nature falls under density limits with regard to stormwater. No ponds for the purpose of treatment of stormwater will be constructed. Proposed Changes The planned Register Place Estates project will not intercept any known aquifer during construction or occupation. No excavation beyond the laying of utility lines and customary site grading is proposed. Changes to groundwater quality are not anticipated with the proposed development. Impacts Impacts to groundwater quality are considered to be insignificant. I. Noise Levels. The proposed project is not anticipated to elevate noise levels above general ambient conditions. L Water Supplies. Water to the proposed project is to be provided by Carolina Water. The development will neither affect the ability of this system to serve its current users nor affect existing private wells in the area. K. Shellfish. Fish and Their Habitats. As mentioned, the waters adjacent to the project site are classified as SA ORW and are suitable for the harvest of shellfish for human consumption. Quantities of clams and oysters are at present unknown along the immediate shoreline. (However, NC Marine Fisheries staff has verbally indicated the absence of a significant resource at the marina site.) Environmental Assessment Register Place Estates, AIWW,• New Hanover County 15 0 0 Species of fish that inhabit the AIWW, nearby creeks and Middle Sound are both migratory and permanently established. Some of the more common fish in the area include spot, seatrout, croaker, pinfish, menhaden, flounders, mullets, sea robins, lizardfish, porgy, sheepshead, black sea bass, puffer, needlefish, dogfish and bluefish. The Middle Sound area is a popular location for fishermen due to the vast network of tidal creeks and the proximity of Rich Inlet and the Atlantic Ocean. Proposed Changes The construction of the planned community marina will not require the closure of any shellfishing areas. The designed 26 slips which are 24' long and the occupation of these slips only by boats with no heads or cabins eliminates the necessity for a prohibited shellfishing area. Additionally, the marina's pilings will provide a hard substrate for oyster attachment and growth thereby adding to shellfish habitat area. Marina construction will not involve dredging or impacting the bottom with the exception of piling installation. This will avoid any substantial disturbance of any unknown shellfish beds or bottom fishes in the area. • Impacts Considered to be insignificant L. Wildlife and Their Habitats. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service have provided the following list of plants and animals which are Federally-Listed, Candidate Species and Federal Species of Concern which could be . present in the area of the proposed project: NEW HANOVER COUNTY r A Common Name Scientific Name Status Vertebrates Shortnose sturgeon Acipenser brevirostrum Endangered Finback whale Balaenoptera physalus Endangered American alligator Alligator mississippiensis T(S/A) Humpback whale Megaptera novaeangliae Endangered Loggerhead sea turtle Caretta caretta Threatened Environmental Assessment Register Place Estates, AIWW, New Hanover County 16 0 i a 0 0 0 0 Piping plover Charadrius melodus Threatened Green sea turtle Chelonia mydas Threatened Leatherback sea turtle Dermochelys coriacea Endangered Right whale Eubaleana giacialis Endangered Peregrine falcon Falco peregrinus Endangered Eastern cougar Felis concolor cougar Endangered Bald eagle Haheetus leucocephalus Threatened Sei whale Balaenoptera borealis Endangered Kemp's ridley sea turtle Lepidochelys kempii Endangered Wood stork Mycteria americana Endangered Sperm whale Physeter catodon Endangered Roseate tern Sterna dougalhi Endangered Red-cockaded woodpecker Picoides borealis Endangered Hawksbill sea turtle Ereimochelys imbricata Endangered Manatee Trichechus manatus Endangered Vascular Plants Seabeach amaranth Amaranthus pumilus Threatened Rough-leaved loosestrife Lysimachia asperulaefolia Endangered Cooley's meadowrue Thalictrum cooleyi Endangered Status Definition Endangered A taxon "in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range." Environmental Assessment Register Place Estates, AIWW,- New Hanover County 17 0 0 Threatened A taxon "likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range." T(S/A) Threatened due to similarity of appearance (e.g., American alligator) - species which are threatened due to similarity of appearance with other rare species and are listed to protect these species. These species are not biologically endangered or threatened and are not subject to Section 7 consultation. As with any plant or animal species, their presence and abundance is determined by the availability of suitable habitat for existence and proliferation. The existing site and future development project offer no suitable habitat for the listing of endangered and threatened species. M. Introduction of Toxic Substances. No toxic substances are to be introduced to the site environment. No marine service, haul out or boat hull scraping and painting will take place at the planned community marina. Proposed Changes Site development will utilize standard and customary construction techniques and materials without the introduction of any toxic substances to the environment. Impacts No introduction of toxic substances is planned with the proposed project, therefore no impacts are anticipated. N. Eutroahication of Receiving Waters The proposed Register Place Estates project has been planned to avoid the elevation of nutrient levels in the adjacent waters of the AIW W. The completed development will comply with Division of Water Quality regulations through the approval of a stormwater management plan. A sedimentation and erosion control plan will be approved by the Division of Land Quality to prevent erosion and the transport of sediment off site. No eutrophication is anticipated. V. MITIGATIVE MEASURES The developer of the Register Place Estates tract has taken several measures during the planning process to reduce or eliminate impacts to the environment: C Coastal Wetland AEC impacts have been avoided through the planning of residential home sites and community infrastructure away from the shoreline. The Environmental Assessment Register Place Estates, AIWW,• New Hanover County 18 D a community marina layout allows pier access to the boat slips directly off the existing riprapped tip of the upland peninsula and avoids any dredging in benthic or intertidal habitat and the need for shoreline stabilization work. Section 404 wetland impact has also been avoided. The design of the planned community marina has been limited so as to avoid a closure of open shellfishing waters. The open water siting of the marina avoids the reduction of tidal water exchange associated with an upland basin and the expected impacts on water quality. This plan also provides for the preservation of the beneficial vegetated buffer near the shoreline. VI. FINDINGS. The proposed Register Place Estates project is not expected to significantly affect the quality of the environment. The subject property appears to be well suited for the residential and marina components of the development. The developer has succeeded in planning to avoid and minimize impacts as outlined. Several positive aspects of the project include enhancement of access to local waterways and associated estuarine resources; the enjoyment of local scenic and recreational opportunities; and employment opportunities for area builders and addition to the local tax base. Since impacts to the environment are considered to be insignificant, preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement is not warranted. If this determination is confirmed during Departmental review, the major permit coordinator may add a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) statement to the EA prior to State Clearing House review. Following satisfaction of the requirements of the NCEPA, the Division of Coastal Management may take action on the CAMA Major Development Permit application. b VII. COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS. Federal Review of the CAMA Major Development Permit application by federal agencies is coordinated by the Army Corps of Engineers. The Corps will review the application for compliance with section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 which covers construction, dredging, filling and other work in navigable waters. The Corps will also review the application for compliance with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act which covers the discharge of dredged or fill material into any waters or wetlands. S Environmental Assessment Register Place Estates, AIWW, New Hanover County 19 0 Distribution of applications is handled by the Corps to the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Marine Fisheries Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for A their review and comment. Comments from these agencies are received and considered by the Corps prior to any permit issuance. State. The Division of Coastal Management coordinates the review process for all relevant state agencies. State authorizations include the Coastal Area Management Act; Dredge 0 and Fill Act; Water Quality Certification; and Easement in Public Trust Areas. Application copies are distributed by DCM to the state agencies for comment prior to any permit issuance. North Carolina Environmental Policy Act. The proposed project involves the use of public lands below mean high water and therefore requires compliance with the NCEPA.

PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to develop a 26 lot, single family residential subdivision with a 26 slip community marina for the property owners of the subdivision. YA BG Partnership / Register Place Estates Page Two 9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project site is a 16.5 acre tract of land located at the intersection of Mason Landing Road (NCSR 1401) and Middle Sound Loop Road (NCSR 1403) in New Hanover County. The propertyis located adjacent to the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) and is approximately 2,000 feet south of the mouth of Pages Creek. To find the property, starting in Ogden at the intersection of US Highway 17 and Middle Sound Loop Road, one would travel east on middle Sound Loop Road approximately 2.8 miles. The entrance to the property will be on the left at 1821 Middle Sound Loop Road. The existing gravel driveway (approximately 900' long) ends at the Register house. The 16.5 acre tract is approximately 350' wide by approximately 2,200' deep and has approximately 300' of frontage on the AIWW (Middle Sound). Near the middle of the property's waterfront is an approximately 30' wide high ground peninsula which extends an additional 230' into the waters of Middle Sound. Moving west from the Middle Sound Shoreline, the tract rises sharply for the next 170' to an elevation of approximately 26' above mean sea level. The remainder of the tract is relatively flat with the exception of a drainage feature which runs eastward along the southern property boundary for approximately 600' before entering Middle Sound. Existing high ground development on the tract includes a single family dwelling (the Register house), a garage and a shed. The three structures lie at the top of the slope overlooking the AIWW. The existing house is served by a private well and septic tank. Vegetation on the tract in the area between the existing structures and Middle Sound consists primarily of lawn grasses, ornamental shrubs, Pecan (Carya illinoensis), Laural Oak (Quercus laurifolia), Magnolia (Magnolia grandaflora), a few scattered Live Oaks (Quercus virginiana) and several pine species. The remainder of the tract to the west is more heavily wooded and is dominated by Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda), Sweet Gum (Liquidambar styraciflua), Red Maple (Acer rubrum) and Wax Myrtle (Myrica cerifera). The applicant states that a professional archaeological assessment has not been done for the tract. Extending from the edge of high ground waterward is a border of Smooth Cordgrass Marsh (Spartina alterniflora). This marsh area is approximately 150' wide at the northern property boundary and approximately 300' wide along the southern property boundary. Extending through this marsh border is the high ground peninsula which terminates approximately 30' waterward of the outer edge of marsh. The perimeter of the peninsula has been stabilized over the years with broken concrete, asphalt and bricks. Along the slope of the peninsula is a border of Sea Ox-eye (Borrichia frutescens). Coastal wetland species present along the slope of the peninsula include Salt Meadow Grass (Spartina patens) and Salt Grass (Distichlis spicata). On the northern side of the peninsula, near the high ground, the marsh area is interrupted with an area of open water approximately 30' X 90', which is probably a remnant of past dredging events during the creation of the peninsula. The open water portion of the AIWW adjacent to the property measures approximately 550' across. Existing water depths range from approximately -2.0' MLW near the end of the peninsula to approximately -13' MLW at the near-bottom edge of the federal channel approximately 285' to the east. BG Partnership / Register Place Estates Page Three The Wilmington-New Hanover County Land Use Plan classifies the area within the 100-year floodplain as Conservation. The remainder of the high ground area is classified as Resource Protection. The waters of Middle Sound and the AIWW are classified SA - Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW) by the Division of Water Quality. The area is not designated as a Primary Nursery Area by the Division of Marine Fisheries and is open to the taking of shellfish. The applicant is proposing the development of Register Place Estates, a 26 lot, single family, residential subdivision. Development will include the initial grading and filling of approximately 10 acres of the tract for road construction, utility installation, and building lot preparation. Individual lots will range in size from 20,000 to 32,000 sq. ft.. Two entrance roads, one off Mason's Landing Road and one off Middle Sound Loop Road, and three cul-de-sacs would provide vehicular access to the proposed building lots. No direct vehicular access to the lots would be available from the existing public roads. The subdivision's sanitary sewer system is to be connected to the New Hanover County system once the County has provided service to the Middle Sound area. The applicant states that construction of the Middle Sound sewer system is expected to begin this year. No on site sewer systems are currently proposed. Potable water service is to be supplied by a community water system by Carolina Utilities. The applicant also proposes the construction of a 26 slip residential marina to provide water access for the lot owners of the subdivision. The docking system for the marina would consist of a 8' wide x 185' long floating dock connected to (13) 4.5' x 24' and 5' x 24' floating finger piers, each serving two boat slips. Each boat slip would contain a boat lift capable of lifting up to a 24' N? vessel. The applicant states that only open run-about type boats, 24' in length or less, with no cabins or heads, would be allowed at the marina. Water depths at the waterward end of the marina would be approximately -3.3' at MLW. Access to the marina will be provided by a 6' wide x 70' long elevated wooden pier extending from the end of the high ground peninsula. Along the pier, at a point approximately 35' from the end of the peninsula, a 16' x 16' gazebo is proposed. High ground access to the community marina would be by way of a 6' wide elevated wooden cart path beginning at the common area adjacent to lot 19, then running along the southern property boundary for lot 19, along the water frontage of lots 19 and 20 to a point approximately 100' out onto the peninsula. The original plans (dated October 22, 1998) submitted with this application show the cart path extending the full length of the peninsula as well as a golf cart parking area. A revised plan (dated April 28, 1999) showing the current cart path proposal and cross section is attached with this report. BG Partnership / Register Place Estates Page Four 10. ANTICIPATED IlUFACTS The construction of the proposed roadways and utilities would disturb approximately one acre of high ground area.. Future lot clearing/grading will disturb an additional nine acres of high ground area. The applicant states that 5 % of the 575' ORW Estuarine Shoreline Area of Environmental Concern (AEC) would be covered by proposed roadways and that less than 20% of the AEC would be covered by built-upon area for future lot development. Total built-upon area within the AEC would be less than 25 %. The applicant has submitted an application for a State Stormwater Permit which is currently under review by the Division of Water Quality. The proposed community marina would incorporate approximately 10,616 sq. ft. of Public Trust Area. The structure would extend approximately 137' into a 550' wide body of water and would terminate approximately 150' from the near-bottom edge of the federally maintained channel. Short term increases in turbidity can be expected during piling placement.

Salisbury Street, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604-1188, 919-733-3391 Charles R. Fullwood, Executive Director May 10, 1999 TO: Melba McGee Office of Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs FROM: Bennett Wynne Habitat Conservation Program SUBJECT: Environmental Assessment (EA) for Register Place Estates Residential Subdivision and Community Marina, AIWW east of Ogden, New Hanover County, North Carolina. Project Number 991. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has reviewed the project for impacts to wildlife and fishery resources. A site visit was made on May 4, 1999. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.); Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (as amended), and North Carolina General Statutes (G. S. 113-131 et seq.). The preferred alternative for the project is to construct a 26-lot subdivision and 26-slip open water marina with gazebo on 16.5 acres adjacent to the AIWW. Other alternatives examined were A. no build, B. a subdivision without a marina, and C. a subdivision with an upland basin marina. Alternatives A. and B. were dismissed as lost opportunities to serve the waterfi•ont real estate market. Alternative C. was not pursued because of logistical and dissolved oxygen concerns. The property is mostly high. ground vegetated with lawn grasses around the residence and early successional forest (wax myrtle, red maple, water oak, greenbriar, grape, loblolly pine, magnolia, and sweet sum) landward of the residence. A fiinge of coastal wetlands occurs along the shoreline except where a peninsula of high ground protrudes into the AIWW. Upland areas provide deer, rabbit, opposum, squirrel, and songbird habitat. Coastal wetlands provide habitat for red wing blackbird, wading birds, waterfowl, fiddler crab and other invertebrates, and juvenile fish of various species. We observed oysters attached to riprap during our site visit. Area waters are classified SA-Outstanding Resource Water (ORW) and are open to shellfish harvest. 0 The EA has gone to some length to justify why the project should be constructed on an ORW. Wetland impacts are to be avoided, no dredging is proposed, the marina is to be limited to 0 0 Register Place Estates 2 05/10/99 24 ft. boats without heads or cabins, and no fuel, marine services, transient dockage, or sale of marine supplies would be provided. However, we think there is a good possibility that shoaling would eventually occur around the docks and prompt future requests to dredge in an ORW. Jetting of pilings into substrates could elevate turbidities, perhaps to the point of stressing estuarine organisms in an ORW. We also question the EA's contention that no shellfish closure would occur. This should be substantiated by Shellfish Sanitation. The development would increase stormwater runoff into an ORW and diminish the site's forest habitat component. A non- water dependent gazebo would be constructed over sensitive estuarine waters and an undetermined quantity of public trust waters would be incorporated. Finally, navigational safety in this section of the AIWW may be compromised if the project extends beyond the established pier head line. For these reasons, we prefer alternative B. (a subdivision without a marina). We believe a 0 subdivision with a pedestrian walkway and/or common area along the shoreline would provide the owners with a reasonable return on their investment and minimise impacts to sensitive estuarine waters. However, if alternative B. is not possible, we can concur with the EA under the following conditions. . 1. A binding agreement will be reached prohibiting current or future dredging at the project site 2. Dock and pier pilings will not be jetted in place to minimise adverse turbidity impacts in an ORW. 3. Enough shoreline exists for the proposed marina area per CAMA rules. 4. Shellfish Sanitation confirms that no shellfish closure will occur. 5. All of the more stringent water quality regulations for ORWs (particularly stormwater) regarding setbacks from shoreline, impervious surfaces, etc. are strictly adhered to. • 6. Forested habitat will be preserved wherever possible. 7. The non-water dependent gazebo will be relocated to high ground. 8. Docks, including occupied boat slips, shall not extend beyond the established pier head line. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project. If you have questions regarding these comments, please call me at (919) 522-9736. 0 0 A Response to Wildlife Resources Commission comments: The WRC stated that if alternative B (construction of a development without a marina) were not possible that they can concur with the EA under their eight listed conditions: A binding agreement will be reached prohibiting current or future dredging at the project site. Dredging is not part of the current project and no dredging will certainly be a specific condition of the CAMA Major Permit. if dredging were to be requested in the future, the minimum ofaMajorModification to the LAMA permit would be required with full multi-agency review and the likelihood of the requirement for the preparation and review of a new Environmental Assessment. With the certainty 0 of full regulatory review for any proposed future dredging, a separate binding agreement beyond the permit conditions for this project is unnecessary. 2. Dock and pier pilings will not be jetted in place to minimize adverse turbidity impacts in an ORW. 0 Pilings are routinely jetted in place for most piers and docks in all area waters including Outstanding Resource Waters. Even if pile driving techniques were utilized, there would still be an uncertain amount of temporary turbidity increase. DCM rules do not prohibit piling jetting in any classification of coastal waters. 0 3. Enough shoreline exists for the proposed marina per CAMA rules. Coastal Management rules (T15A: 07H. 0200) state that "Marinas to be developed in waters subject to public trust rights (other than those created by dredging upland basins or canals) for the purpose of providing docking for residential developments shall be allowed no more than 27 square feet of public trust area for every one linear foot of shoreline adjacent to these public trust areas for construction of docks and mooring facilities. " The subject property has a shoreline length of 775' as measured at mean high water. This shoreline length allows the use of up to a total of 20,925 square feet ofpublic trust area for the community marina. The proposed marina as measured by applicable DCM definition will occupy a total of 9,990 square feet of public trust area. This Environmental Assessment Register Place Estates, AIWW,• New Hanover County 0 r shoreline measurement at mean high water has been confirmed in consultation with the Major Permit Coordinator. r 4. Shellfish Sanitation confirms that no shellfish closure will occur. Environmental Health rules (T15A: 18A.0911) state that "All waters within the immediate vicinity of a marina shall be classified as prohibited to the harvesting of shel#ish for human consumption. Excluded from this classification are marinas with less than 30 slips, having no boats over 24 feet in length, no boats with heads and no boats with cabins. " The planned marina falls within the limits of this exclusion and this will verified by the Shelffish Sanitation Office during permit application review. 5. All of the more stringent water quality regulations for ORWs (particularly stormwater) regarding setbacks from shoreline, impervious surfaces, etc. are strictly adhered to. A stormwater management plan was submitted to the Division of Water Quality on 11/11198 for review and approval as required. Total impervious surfaces within the 575' ORW Estuarine Shoreline AEC will be less than 25% for the planned road and future homesites. Impervious surface limitations may also be listed as a condition of the CAMA permit. 0 6. Forested habitat will be preserved wherever possible. Many of the mature pines and hardwood trees on the tract were either damaged or destroyed during hurricanes Bertha, Fran and Bonnie in recent years. Desirable, healthy remaining trees not within planned work areas for the project and future home construction will be preserved. N 7. The non-water dependent gazebo will be relocated to high ground. Though the gazebo is non-water dependent, DCM has consistently allowed gazebos over water. In this particular instance, if the gazebo were relocated to the narrow high ground peninsula, it would tend to shade nearby areas of coastal marsh. The planned open water position avoids this minor impact. Environmental Assessment Register Place Estates, AIWW,- New Hanover County 0 0 8. Docks, including occupied boat slips, shall not extend beyond the established pier head line. The closest private pier to the south and the concrete end of the marina to the north extend approximately 113 the distance across the waterbody as formerly allowed by DCMrules. The proposed community marina will only extend 114 the distance across the waterbody as allowed under current DCM rules and will not r surpass the pierhead line created by the two nearest structures. 0 i 0 • 0 Environmental Assessment Register Place Estates, AIWW, New Hanover County 0 State of North Carolina Department of Environment LT:.WYTA and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality James B.

Stevens, Director 0 May 3, 1999 MEMORANDUM TO: Gloria Putnam THROUGH: John Dorney FROM: Eric Fleek SUBJECT: Register Place Estates (New Hanover) Based on a review of the subject EA, the following comments should be addressed in the FONSI: 1. As is noted throughout the EA (Page 11, 16, and 19) there are no plans for dredging or excavation associated with the open water marina option. As detailed on Page 2: "water depths in the area of the planned community marina range from -2.5' to 3.5' mlw." It seems reasonably probable that future r requests for maintenance or other dredging/excavation activities for some or all portions of this marina will be made to accommodate deeper draft boats (especially sailboats without swing up keels) who wish to depart/return from the floating marina during times of low tide. The 401 will be issued prohibiting dredging in this SA ORW water. Please elaborate on the belief that the 2.5' to 3.5'mlw depths will be sufficient without dredging. t i If there are further questions regarding this matter please feel free to contact Mr. Eric Fleek at (919) 733- 1786 or at eric-fleek@h2o.enr.state.nc.us Environmental Sciences Branch • 4401 Reedy Creek Road Raleigh, North Carolina 27607 Telephone 919-733-1786 FAX # 733-9959 10 . An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post consumer paper i 0 0 a 0 • 0 0 Response to Division of Water Quality comments: DWQ stated that "The 401 will be issued prohibiting dredging in this SA ORW water. Please elaborate on the belief that 2.5' to 3.5 depths will be sufficient without dredging." Since no dredging or filling of wetlands or waters is currently proposed in association with this project, it is possible that no 401 Water Quality Certification is required. It is understood that DWQ will review the project with respect to consistency with state water quality standards. According to current DCM rules (T15A: 07H . 0208), structures cannot extend beyond 114 of the waterbody width. This limitation places the proposed community marina in depths of 2.5'to 3.5' mlw. Boats occupying the marina will not exceed 24' in length and most will be shorter. The planned boat lifts on the landward side of the marina are narrower and will contain the smaller boats (with less draft) occupying the facility. The smaller boats should be able to enter and leave their slips without problem. The other boats (up to 249 occupying the outer slips will have the deeper water to assist them. Deep draft fixed keel sailboats are unlikely to utilize the marina due to the presence of the boat lift cradle cross beams. Community residents who plan to moor their boats at the marina will be fully aware of the slip sizes and depth limitations of the facility. Additionally, the planned boat lifts can allow for the timing of boat trips to benefit navigation., 0 0 0 Environmental Assessment Register Place Estates, AIWW,• New Hanover County C State of North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Marine Fisheries • 0 James B.

Wojciechowski'4er " ,,r SUBJECT: Environmental Assessment Register Place Estates . The subject EA has been reviewed. The following comments and concerns are offered for your consideration. My main concern is the excessive use of public trust areas. 1. The linear feet of 775 feet includes a narrow finger along the shoreline. The shoreline should only include the three waterfront lots which total 360.64 feet. Accordingly, the maximum square footage of public trust areas that could be used should be 9,737.28 square feet. The proposed project will occupy and/or control 25,345 square feet. 2. The statement that this marina will eliminate the need for lot owners to construct a pier is true. However, this does not prevent lot owners to construct piers off of lot 19, 20, and 21. 3. The door is open for other than lot owners to use and occupy boat slips. It is possible to reduce the size of this marina and the impacts on the public trust areas. Not all lot owners want boat slips or own boats. 0 PAW/jjh G:\brendatpetmits\letters\register place estates a 0 P.O.

This was addressed in the response to the Wildlife Resources Commission comment number 3.) 2. The statement that this marina will eliminate the need for lot owners to construct a pier is true. However, this does not prevent lot owners to construct piers off of lots 19, 20 and 21. New Hanover County has taken the position that an existing special use permit (which is in hand) for a community boating facility implicitly excludes other piers, boat ramps and related water access structures. This was directly discussed with the county Planning Director recently. Therefore, the placement of private piers for these lot is prohibited unless the special use permit can be revised. Unless that were to be accomplished, private piers would also be inconsistent with local land use planning. 3. The door is open for other than lot owners to use and occupy boat slips. It is possible to reduce the size of this marina and the impacts on the public trust areas. Not all lot owners want boat slips or own boats. New Hanover County zoning provisions require the slips to be owned solely and exclusively by individuals owning a lot or lots in the subdivision. There are no exceptions. Limiting slip numbers to less than the number of actual lots would unfairly restrict the development potential allowed under the rules. Impacts from this planned community marina are minimal in its current configuration. w • Environmental Assessment Register Place Estates, AIWW, New Hanover County r Jtate of lvortn l:arohna Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources Wilmington Regional Office 4 09 Division of Marine Fisheries - r James B.

PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to develop a 26 lot, single family residential subdivision with a 26 slip community marina for the property owners of the subdivision. BG Partnership / Register Place Estates Page Two 9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project site is a 16.5 acre tract of land located at the intersection of Mason Landing Road (NCSR 1401) and Middle Sound Loop Road (NCSR 1403) in New Hanover County. The property is located adjacent to the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) and is approximately 2,000 feet south of the mouth of Pages Creek. To find the property, starting in Ogden at the intersection of US Highway 17 and Middle Sound Loop Road, one would travel east on middle Sound Loop Road approximately 2.8 miles. The entrance to the property will be on the left at 1821 Middle Sound Loop Road. The existing gravel driveway (approximately 900' long) ends at the Register house. The 16.5 acre tract is approximately 350' wide by approximately 2,200' deep and has approximately 300' of frontage on the AIWW (Middle Sound). Near the middle of the property's waterfront is an approximately 30' wide high ground peninsula which extends an additional 230' into the waters of Middle Sound. Moving west from the Middle Sound Shoreline, the tract rises sharply for the next 170' to an elevation of approximately 26' above mean sea level. The remainder of the tract is relatively flat with the exception of a drainage feature which runs eastward along the southern property boundary for approximately 600' before entering Middle Sound. Existing high ground development on the tract includes a single family dwelling (the Register house), a garage and a shed. The three structures lie at the top of the slope overlooking the AIWW. The existing house is served by a private well and septic tank. Vegetation on the tract in the area between the existing structures and Middle Sound consists primarily of lawn grasses, ornamental shrubs, Pecan (Carya illinoensis), Laural Oak (Quercus laurifolia), Magnolia (Magnolia grandi; flora), a few scattered Live Oaks (Quercus virginiana) and several pine species. The remainder of the tract to the west is more heavily wooded and is dominated by Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda), Sweet Gum (Liquidambar styraciflua), Red Maple (Acer rubrum) and Wax Myrtle (Myrica cerifera). The applicant states that a professional archaeological assessment has not been done for the tract. Extending from the edge of high ground waterward is a border of Smooth Cordgrass Marsh (Spartina altendflora). This marsh area is approximately 150' wide at the northern property boundary and approximately 300' wide along the southern property boundary. Extending through this marsh border is the high ground peninsula which terminates approximately 30' waterward of the outer edge of marsh. The perimeter of the peninsula has been stabilized over the years with broken concrete, asphalt and bricks. Along the slope of the peninsula is a border of Sea Ox-eye (Borrichia frutescens). Coastal wetland species present along the slope of the peninsula include Salt Meadow Grass (Spartina patens) and Salt Grass (Distichlis spicata). On the northern side of the peninsula, near the high ground, the marsh area is interrupted with an area of open water approximately 30' X 90', which is probably a remnant of past dredging events during the creation of the peninsula. The open water portion of the AIWW adjacent to the property measures approximately 550' across. Existing water depths range from approximately -2.0' MLW near the end of the peninsula to approximately -13' MLW at the near-bottom edge of the federal channel approximately 285' to the east. BG Partnership / Register Place Estates Page Three The Wilmington-New Hanover County Land Use Plan classifies the area within the 100-year floodplain as Conservation. The remainder of the high ground area is classified as Resource Protection. The waters of Middle Sound and the AIWW are classified SA - Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW) by the Division of Water Quality. The area is not designated as a Primary Nursery Area by the Division of Marine Fisheries and is open to the taking of shellfish. The applicant is proposing the development of Register Place Estates, a 26 lot, single family, residential subdivision. Development will include the initial grading and filling of approximately 10 acres of the tract for road construction, utility installation, and building lot preparation. Individual lots will range in size from 20,000 to 32,000 sq. ft.. Two entrance roads, one off Mason's Landing Road and one off Middle Sound Loop Road, and three cul-de-sacs would provide vehicular access to the proposed building lots. No direct vehicular access to the lots would be available from the existing public roads. The subdivision's sanitary sewer system is to be connected to the New Hanover County system once the County has provided service to the Middle Sound area. The applicant states that construction of the Middle Sound sewer system is expected to begin this year. No on site sewer systems are currently proposed. Potable water service is to be supplied by a community water system by Carolina Utilities. The applicant also proposes the construction of a 26 slip residential marina to provide water access for the lot owners of the subdivision. The docking system for the marina would consist of a 8' wide x 185' long floating dock connected to (13) 4.5' x 24' and 5' x 24' floating finger piers, each serving two boat slips. Each boat slip would contain a boat lift capable of lifting up to a 24' vessel. The applicant states that only open run-about type boats, 24' in length or less, with no cabins or heads, would be allowed at the marina. Water depths at the waterward end of the marina would be approximately -3.3' at MLW. Access to the marina will be provided by a 6' wide x 70' long elevated wooden pier extending from the end of the high ground peninsula. Along the pier, at a point approximately 35' from the end of the peninsula, a 16' x 16' gazebo is proposed. High ground access to the community marina would be by way of a 6' wide elevated wooden cart path beginning at the common area adjacent to lot 19, then running along the southern property boundary for lot 19, along the water frontage of lots 19 and 20 to a point approximately 100' out onto the peninsula. The original plans (dated October 22, 1998) submitted with this application show the cart path extending the full length of the peninsula as well as a golf cart parking area. A revised plan (dated April 28, 1999) showing the current cart path proposal and cross section is attached with this report. BG Partnership / Register Place Estates Page Four 10. ANTICIPATEn EUPACIS The construction of the proposed roadways and utilities would disturb approximately one acre of high ground area. Future lot clearing/grading will disturb an additional nine acres of high ground area. The applicant states that 5 % of the 575' ORW Estuarine Shoreline Area of Environmental Concern (AEC) would be covered by proposed roadways and that less than 20% of the AEC would be covered by built upon area for future lot development. Total built-upon area within the AEC would be less than 25 %. The applicant has submitted an application for a State Stormwater Permit which is currently, under review by the Division of Water Quality. The proposed community marina would incorporate approximately 10,616 sq. ft. of Public Trust Area. The structure would extend approximately 137' into a 550' wide body of water and would terminate approximately 150' from the near-bottom edge of the federally maintained channel. Short term increases in turbidity can be expected during piling placement. Submitted by: Jim Gregson Date: May 17, 1999 Office: Wilmington - .v/- "11 -Y .
