Subject: Action ID #200500136, North Carolina Coastal Federation, Morris Landing Pier and
Storage Area, Onslow County, NC
Dear Mr. Wicker:
This letter provides the comments of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) on the subject
Public Notice (PN), dated November 11, 2004. The applicant, the North Carolina Coastal
Federation (NCCF), has applied for a Department of the Army (DA) permit to develop an oyster
shell storage area and loading pier along with a public pier and low rock, sill along the shoreline
of Stump Sound. The proposed work is being considered under Regional General Permit
#198000291, a permit/processing agreement for work that has been approved pursuant to the
North Carolina Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA). These comments are submitted in
accordance with the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (FWCA) (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16
U.S.C. 661-667d). Comments related to the FWCA are to be used in your determination of
compliance with 404(b)(1) guidelines (40 CFR 230) and in your public interest review (33 CFR
320.4) in relation to the protection of fish and wildlife resources. Additional comments are
provided regarding the District Engineer's determination of project impacts pursuant to section 7
of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543).
Proposed Action and Anticipated Impacts
The project area, proposed work, and anticipated impacts are described the Field Investigation
Report (FIR), dated November 2, 2004, of the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management
(NCDCM). The applicant proposes to develop an oyster shell storage area and loading pier to be
used in conjunction with the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF). The
proposed work also includes construction of a public pier to be used for estuarine access, fishing
and environmental education. A rock sill and associated coastal restoration area would be
constructed. The project area is a 2.08-acre tract at the eastern terminus of Morris Landing
Road. The tract is wooded, undeveloped, and adjacent to Stump Sound and the Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW).

2
The proposed loading pier (130 feet long by 12 feet wide) would extend into Stump Sound. A
public, fishing/crabbing pier (135 feet by 4 feet) would be constructed into Stump Sound
approximately 110 feet south of the loading pier. The pier would be accessed by an elevated
walkway from Morris Landing Road. According to project drawings in the FIR, both the public
fishing pier (Sheet 10 of 10) and the loading pier (Sheet 9 of 10) would be elevated between five
and ten feet above the substrate. The FIR states that the project would shade 756 square feet (ft)
of vegetated wetlands. However, the proposed elevations would minimize the adverse impact of
shading on marsh vegetation.
A low rock sill would be constructed parallel to the shoreline south of the public pier. The sill
would be 550 feet long and 18 inches high. The structure would be approximately 30 feet
waterward of the mean high water (MHW) line. The sill would have a top width of 18 inches
and a base width of six feet (Sheet 8 of 10). The sill would cover approximately 3,300 ft2 (550 x
6) of shallow estuarine bottom. There would be two drop-down, approximately five feet wide,
along the structure to promote water circulation. However, project drawings indicate that both
ends of the sill would be open within the intertidal zone. These opening would facilitate the
passage of aquatic organisms between the marsh and the sound.
The area landward of the sill would be planted with coastal vegetation. The species include
smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) and salt meadow cordgrass (S. patens). This effort has
the potential to create 16,500 ft2 (550 x 30) of valuable marsh habitat.
Federally Protected Species
The Service has reviewed available information on federally-threatened or endangered species
known to occur in Onslow County. We have also reviewed information from the North Carolina
Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database which contains excellent data on the special status
species, both federal and state. This database can be accessed by topographic quadrangle (quad)
of the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS). Data from USGS quads provide the most project-
specific information on species which should be considered in permitting this project. The
project area is in the Holly Ridge quad. The occurrence data of special status species within this
quad can be obtained on the internet at < http://ww?v.ncnhp.oriz/Pages/heritauedata.html >.
The Service carefully considers potential impacts for all in-water construction on the West Indian
manatee (Trichechus manatus), a federally-endangered mammal. The species has been reported
from Onslow County but there are no current records within the Holly Ridge quad. Manatees
move along the Atlantic Coast during summer months and are seasonal transients in North
Carolina, primarily from June through October. Manatees may occupy waters one to two meters
(3.3 -6.6 feet) deep. The species moves extensively when in North Carolina waters and past
occurrence records cannot be used to precisely determine the likelihood that it will be presence at
a particular construction site.
3
Based on information in the PN, water depths at the sill construction site appear too shallow to
provide suitable habitat for manatees. However, the waterward ends of both the loading pier and
the fishing pier are shown to be in water 3.4 feet deep at mean low water (MLW). During much
of the tidal cycle manatees could use this area of Stump Sound. Piling placement for pier
construction should be done with recognition that manatees may be present during the warmer
months of the year.
To protect manatees in North Carolina, the Service developed guidelines entitled "Precautions
for General Construction in Areas Which May Be Used by the West Indian Manatee in North
Carolina." These guidelines address all types of in-water construction, except blasting, and
should produce little, if any, additional expense. The guidelines are intended mainly to ensure
that construction personnel are informed that manatees may occur in the work area, that work
should cease if a manatee approaches the work area, work should not resume until the manatee
leaves the work area, and procedures for reporting the death or injury of a manatee. These
guidelines are available on our web site at < http://nc-
cs.fws.gov/mammal/manatee guidelines.pdf>. The risk to manatees could be reduced to an
acceptable level by the implementation of the Service's guidelines. The risk would be further
reduced by performing the work during the period of November through May.
With the inclusion of our manatee conditions, the Service would concur with a determination by
the District Engineer that the action is not likely to adversely affect species designated as
threatened, endangered, or their designated critical habitat. However, the requirement of section
7 would need to be reconsidered if (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action
that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered; (2) this
action is subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review; or, (3) a new
species is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the identified action.
Service Concerns and Recommendations
The Service supports the use of low sills as an alternative to bulkheads for shoreline stabilization.
However, sills should be designed to allow adequate exchange of water and organisms. Rogers
and Skrabel (2001, p. 21) note that it is necessary to allow trapped water to return to open water
without causing excessive localized currents around the structure. Estuarine marshes depend on
regular flooding for nutrients and to carry away sediment and pollutants. To facilitate this
exchange sills are designed to be porous with water flowing between the stones or through gaps
in the structure.
The Service recommends that at least ten percent of the overall sill length consist of gaps.
Project diagram indicate that only two, 10-foot-wide drop-downs would placed along the 550-
foot structure, representing only 1.8% of the length. The open ends of the sill would provide
additional water exchange. However, we understand that sills in areas subject to high wave
energy may necessitate a smaller percentage of openings. The project area, near the AIWW, may
be subject to frequent boat wakes. If the amount of openings is considered the best balance
4
between water/organism interchange and shoreline stability, the Service would accept the plans
of the NCCF.
The Service would be concerned if the sill was placed on or near areas of submerged aquatic
vegetation (SAV). The project description in the FIR does not address the presence or absence of
SAV within the footprint of the sill. However, the application form (DCM-MP-2, Section 4b)
states that fill material would not be placed in marsh, SAV, or other wetlands. We assume "fill
material" in this context includes the granite rocks of the sill.
Overall, the Service does not oppose the issuance of a DA permit for the proposed action. If
water/organism interchange has been optimized, SAV would not be impacted, and precautions
are undertaken to protect manatees, we do not believe that the proposed activity will have
significant adverse and/or irreversible effects on general fish and wildlife resources under our
jurisdiction.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to comment on this permit application. If you have
questions regarding these comments or wish to discuss the development of the coordinated
federal position, please contact Howard Hall at 919-856-4520, ext. 27 or by e-mail at <

position, if one is developed.

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project is located at the end of Morris Landing Road (SR 1538), off US Hwy. 17, near Holly Ridge, in
Onslow County. The 52.4-acre property is located on the west side of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway
(AIWW). The tract is wooded and undeveloped. Morris Landing Road dead-ends into the AIWW and
historically has been used as an unimproved boat landing and estuarine access site by the public and
area/local residents. The proposed project area is located at the end of the road and consists of a 2.08-acre
highground area on the north side of the road, as well as, the shoreline along the AIWW, both north and
south of the landing. The vegetation on the highground area includes; Live Oak (Ouercus virginiana), Sweet
Bay (Magnolia virginiana), Sweet Gum (Liquidambar stryciflua), Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda), and Red
Cedar- (Juniperus virginiana) with a dense under-story of Yaupon (Ilex vomitoria), Wax Myrtle (M ica
'cerifera); Tapanese Honeysuckle (Lonicera iaponica) and other plants. The shoreline south of the landing
exists as a wetland spit or berm, between Morris Landing Road and a small island of highground
approximately 600 feet to the south. The width of the shoreline berm that is above normal high water
(NHW) varies from 10 feet to over 100 feet wide, and there are two (2) turnouts where people driving along
the shoreline appear to park and/or turn vehicles around. The entire shoreline berm area is wetlands. The
slightly higher elevations exhibit shrub vegetation including; Yaupon (Ilex vomitoria), Silverling (Baccharis
angustifolia), Grounsel-bush (Baccharus halimifolia), Marsh-elder (Iva frutescens), and Sea Oxeye
(Borrichia frutescens). Extensive coastal marsh, both irregularly and regularly flooded, border the back side
(west) of the shoreline berm. High marsh species include; Black Needle Rush (Juncus roemarianus), Sea
Lavender (Limonium, spp.), Glasswort (Salicornia spp), Spike Grass (Distichlis spicata), Giant Cordgrass
S artina cynosuroides), and Salt Meadow Grass (Spartina patens); transitioning to the regularly flooded
Smooth Cordgrass marsh (Spartina altemiflora). Adjacent to the AIWW side of the shoreline, there is a
narrow border of Smooth Cordgrass marsh (Spartina alterniflora), approximately 15 -20 feet wide, on the
north side of the landing; and another isolated patch in the southeast corner of the project area. The
remainder of the shoreline south of the landing is unvegetated, sandy estuarine beach.
In the project area, the NC Division of Water Quality classifies the waters of the AIWW/Stump Sound, as
SA-ORW. The NC Division of Marine Fisheries has designated this area of Stump Sound as Primary
Nursery Area (PNA), and the waters adjacent to the proposed project are OPEN to shellfishing.
The North Carolina Coastal Federation (NCCF) proposes to develop an oyster shell storage area and loading
pier to be used in conjunction with the NC Division of Marine Fisheries' (NCDMF) shell recycling and
oyster reefs restoration programs. The applicants also propose the construction of a public pier to maintain
and promote the historical estuarine access and fishing activities, as well as, facilitate NCCF environmental
education activities. The construction of a rock sill and associated coastal wetlands restoration area would
complete the proposed project. The applicant proposes to clear approximately.5 acre of the highground on
the north side of the end of Morris Landing Road and construct an oyster shell storage area (140' X 100')
and a paved U-shaped access road (250' X 30'). A loading pier (130' long X 12' wide) would extend into
Stump Sound to facilitate the loading of the oyster shells onto NCDMF barges. There would be four (4)
mooring pilings installed adjacent to the end of the pier, two (2) on each side, approximately 25 feet off the
pier and 25 feet on center. A gravel loading road (50' X 20') would connect the pier to the oyster shell
storage area. A gated security fence would prevent unauthorized vehicles on the pier. Other structures
proposed for this area include an oyster recycling box for local residents to deposit shell from private oyster
roasts and a sign kiosk for site and educational materials. The proposed fishing/crabbing pier would be
located approximately 110 feet south of the landing. The pier would be accessed from the road by an
North Carolina Coastal Federation/Morris Landing
Page Three
elevated walkway (110' long X 6' wide) that would include a handicap ramp from the pavement and
terminate with a elevated platform (16' X 10'). The platform would be oriented along a tidal ditch so that no
more than 6 feet of any dimension would be located over coastal wetlands. In addition to accessing the pier,
the platform would function to facilitate NCCF educational activities and field trips. From the platform, the
pier would be 135 feet long and 4 feet wide and would include steps on both sides of the pier, at its
intersection with the shoreline, to allow pedestrian access to the estuarine shoreline. South of the pier, the
applicants propose to construct a rock sill. The sill is designed to function as an offshore breakwater to lower
incoming wave energy and improve the survivorship of the marsh planting proposed for the landward side of
the sill. The sill would be constructed of Class II granite and located approximately 30 feet below normal
high water (NHW). It would be 550 feet long and 18 inches in height, with a base width of 6 feet and a top
width of 18 inches. The sill would be constructed on a geotextile mat and include two (2) drop-downs within
its alignment to promote water circulation. The area behind the sill would be planted with marsh species. .
ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The development of the proposed oyster shell storage area and access driveway would disturb approximately
21,900 square feet (.5 acres) of highground and create an equal amount of impervious surface. The
construction of the proposed barge pier, fishing pier and rock sill would result in the incorporation of 5,240
square feet of Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area. The proposed pier walkway and platform would
result in the shading of 756 square feet of coastal wetlands. Short-term increases in turbidity can be expected
during piling placement for pier construction. The project would facilitate the cooperative efforts of the
NCCF and the NCDMF in their oyster shell recycling and oyster reefs restoration programs. The project
allows the continued traditional use of the boat landing and promotes estuarine shoreline use and access by
the addition of a public pier. The project does eliminate vehicle traffic along the existing shoreline.

Recommendations for State Permit - NC Coastal Federation/Morris Landing
The lack of a T-head or L-head at the end of the proposed fishing pier will limit its use for fishing. The 4' width
will accommodate a single fisherman. Given the original proposal for "jersey barriers" and the lack of space at
the end of the proposed fishing pier, one might construe this structure to be more of a vehicle block than a place
to fish. This office recommends that any permit issued to authorize the proposed project should include the
following conditions:
1. The permittee will maintain the authorized work in good condition and in conformance with the terms
and conditions of this permit. The permittee is not relieved of this requirement if he abandons the
project without having the permit transferred to a third-party.
2. This permit authorizes only the dock, pier, rock sill and other structures and uses located in or over the
water that are expressly and specifically set forth in the permit application. No other structures, whether
floating or stationary, may become a permanent part of the structure without a permit modification. No
non-water dependent uses of structures may be conducted on, in or over public trust waters without a
permit modification.
3. In order to protect water quality, runoff from the construction must not visibly increase the amount of
suspended sediments in adjacent waters.
4. The permitee must install and maintain, at his expense, any signal lights and signals prescribed by the US
Coast Guard through regulations or otherwise, on authorized activities.
Future development on the permittee's property may require a modification of this permit. Contact a
representative of this Division at [phone] prior to commencement of any such activity for this
determination.
6. The construction of the proposed project shall be in compliance with all local, State and Federal
regulations and associated permit conditions.
7. No attempt will be made by the permittee to prevent the full and free use by the public of all navigable
waters at or adjacent to the authorized work.
8. The authorized structure and associated activity must not cause an unacceptable interference with
navigation.
9. The riprap material must be free from loose dirt or any pollutant. It must be of a size sufficient to
prevent its movement from the site by wave or current action.
10. The alignment of the authorized riprap sill must be staked by a representative of the Division of Coastal
Management within a maximum of 30 days prior to the start of construction. Failure to initiate
construction within 30 days, or erosion of the shoreline by adverse weather conditions will require the
alignment to be restaked by DCM within a maximum of 30 days prior to the new expected start of
construction.
11. No backfill of the breakwater or any other filling of wetlands, estuarine waters, public trust areas or high
ground is authorized by this permit.
12. No excavation of shallow water bottom or any wetlands is authorized by this permit.
