9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The existing marina facility is located at Carolina Beach State Park, in Carolina Beach, on Dow
Road, off US Highway 421, in southern New Hanover County. The property is situated along
the southern shoreline of Snow's Cut, near it's confluence with the Cape Fear River. The park
consists of approximately 700 acres of wooded uplands, and includes facilities for camping, nature
trails, and educational programs. The marina includes 40 wet slips, two boat ramps, a large
parking area, and a marina/park office building. In 1987, State Permit # 95-87M was issued to
expand the original boat basin, construct docks for 32 additional slips, and conduct maintenance
dredging within the existing basin and access channel. In 1996, CAMA General Permit #16003-D
was issued to clear a small shoaled area from the access channel. Currently the basin and access
channel have shoaled to the point that navigation is difficult during low tide, and the Division
of Parks and Recreation is seeking permit authorization to conduct maintenance dredging of the
entire facility.
The waters of Snow's Cut and this area of the Cape Fear River are classified SC, by the Division
of Water Quality. The area is not designated as a Primary Nursery Area, by the N.C. Division
of Marine Fisheries, and these waters are CLOSED to the harvest of shellfish.
The State is proposing maintenance dredging of the existing access channel and boat basin. The
dimensions of the basin are 400 feet long X 300 feet wide, and the access channel is 300 feet long
X 50 feet wide. Both are proposed to be excavated to a depth of -8 feet mean sea level (MSL),
or to a depth of -6 feet at mean,low water (MLW). Excavation of the basin and access channel
would be accomplished by a hydraulic dredge. Excavated material would be pumped to an
existing US Army Corps of Engineers spoil disposal island (Island #8 Upper Midnight Reach).
The island is located in the Cape Fear River, approximately 1.5 miles to the southwest of the
marina. There are existing dikes on the island, encompassing approximately 25 acres.
ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The proposed dredging would result in the excavation of approximately 135,000 sq. ft. of shallow
bottom. Short term increases in turbidity can be expected during dredging activity. The excavation
of the basin and channel would create approximately 21,000 cubic yards of spoils material that
would be paced in an existing, approved spoil disposal area.

Dear Mr. Dorney:
ON J:?l /

- b lr? '), ( /(,?
Rcfeience the application of North Carolina Division cf Parks and
Recreation, Carolina Beach State Park Marina, for Department of the Army
authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to conduct maintenance
excavation in the existing Carolina State Park marina basin and access channel
adjacent to Snow's Cut, New Hanover County, North Carolina. Your receipt of
this letter verifies your acceptance of a valid request for certification in
accordance with Section 325.2(b)(ii) of our administrative regulations.
We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to Section
10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, and we have determined that a water quality
certification is required under the provisions of Section 401 of the Clean
Water Act. A Department of the Army permit will not be granted until the
certification has been obtained or waived.
According to our administrative regulations, 60 days is reasonable for
State action. Therefore, if you have not acted on the request, or asked for an
extension of time, by January 14, 2000, the District Engineer will deem that
waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to the undersigned, available, at
telephone [phone].
Sincerely,

Alright I have pushed these to the wire. With the following projects:
1) Lindon Brinn # 991287- no comment
2) Blue Point Marina # 991288 - issue conditional (that they prove that
they will not degrade WQ and that the WQ is good enough for the dolphins)
We should have some comments from APHIS (Animal & Plant Health Inspection
Service). I am concerned about this being by a marina.
3) Lionel Mark Yow #991297 - issue conditional -that they cannot dredge
during the Aprill-September 30 window for Marine fisheries
q2)rno arolina Beach State Park- # 991291 I know I have done this one and I

APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Ms. Cherri Lee Smith
NC Division of Parks and Recreation
P.O. Box 27687
Raleigh, NC 27699-1615
Dear Mr. Smith:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to dredge 3.1 acres of waters for the purpose of
conducting maintenance excavation at Carolina Beach State Park marina and access channel, as you described in your
application dated November 22, 1999. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by
General Water Quality Certification Number 3112. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits
before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Coastal Stormwater.
Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 or
CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change your
project, you must notify us and send us a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of
this Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland tills for
this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC
2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification. This
approval shall expire when the corresponding Nationwide Permit expires or as otherwise provided in the General
Certification.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must
act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition which conforms to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh,
N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you
have any questions, please telephone John Domey at 919-733-9646.
