MEMORANDUM
TO: Gregg Bodnar

FROM: Maria T. Dunn, Coastal Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Division
DATE: January 30, 2020
SUBJECT: LAMA Dredge/Fill Permit Application for Queen's Point, LLC, New Hanover
County, North Carolina.
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) reviewed the permit application with
regard to impacts on fish and wildlife resources. The project site is located at 2541 Middle Sound Loop Road
adjacent to the AIWW / Howe Creek in Wilmington, NC Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions
of the Coastal Area Management Act (G.S. 113A-100 through I I3A-128), as amended, Sections 401 and 404 of the
Clean Water Act, as amended, and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661
et seq.).
The applicant proposes to perform maintenance dredging on a previously permitted 30' by 750' access channel and
to perform new excavation on a 30' by 202' extension of the same access channel. The bucket to barge excavation
would provide water depths of -4' MLW upon completion. Excavation would occur a minimum 25' from coastal
marsh. Material would be placed on DA 228 within the 575' AEC on top of uplands and contained by a silt fence.
This project area was active in the early 2000's and received. NCDCM Permit No. 111-05 and subsequent
modifications to enlarge a dock and perform access channel excavation. This area of the AIW W I Howe Creek is
classified SA ORW by the Environmental Management Commission. The primary nursery area (PNA) designation
by NC Division of Marine Fisheries is located upstream the project area.
The NCWRC has reviewed the project proposal and understands the majority of the work is deemed maintenance.
SA ORW classified waterbodies command consideration of environmental impacts from development and should be
protected to the greatest extent practicable. We do not take modification of these areas lightly. It should also be
noted that while not designated as a PNA, the PNA boundary line is in close proximity and therefore the waters
within the project area may function as a PNA. Therefore, we request an April 1 — September 30 moratorium be
included as a permit condition to minimize impacts to aquatic resources during important periods of biological
activity.
We appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on this permit application. If you need further assistance or
additional information, please contact me at (252) 948-3916 or at ma:ia.dunn�'d) iewildlife.oEg
