Wilmington, NG 29405 919 796 7215 L-A North. Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission Gordon Myers, Executive Director MEMORANDUM TO: Gregg Bodnar Division of Coastal Management North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality 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.
