APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Dear Mr. Fetzer:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to dredge and fill 0.46 acre of shallow bottom
habitat, open water and vegetated wetlands in order to construct, maintain and operate a public boating access facility on
state property at the Harker's Island Bridge in Carteret County, as described in your application received by the Division of
Water Quality on January 22, 2001. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General
Water Quality Certification Number 3274. This Certification allows you to use your CAMA Permit when it is issued by the
NC Division of Coastal Management. 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, Non-Discharge and Water Supply
Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire when the accompanying 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 you may be required to send us a new application for a new certification. If the property is
sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying
with all conditions. If total wetland fills 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.
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 conforming 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 Dorney at 919-733-9646.
Sincerely,

8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has entered into a MOU
with the NC DOT to construct, maintain, and operate a public boating access facility on state property
located on the northwest side of the Harker's Island Bridge, within the community of Straits.
NC WRC
January 19, 2001
Page 02
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
The project site is a vacant 2.56 acre disturbed tract, averaging 7' msl in elevation. The property
is owned by the State of North Carolina, and is held by the Department of Transportation. The
North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding
with the DOT to "construct, maintain, and operate" a public boating access facility on the
property. This parcel lies within the Carteret County community of Straits, on the northwest side
of the SR 1335 bridge to Harker's Island. Visibility upon encroaching the site is low and potential
for seeing turning vehicles poor, due to the wooded area immediately preceding the property. The
project site fronts the North River at its confluence with Straits. There is an Environmental
Assessment in circulation currently. Neither a stormwater plan nor a sedimentation/erosion
control plan has been approved for this project.
The property is very disturbed, having been used for DOT spoil and debris disposal through the
years. There is an existing dike wall on site, and a badly failing bulkhead wall. The area has a
sandy beach conducive to public use, and consequently, is a popular local fishing spot. The
vegetation on site is sparse, consisting mostly of stressed shrub/scrub species above the zone of
tidal influence. There is an area of transitional high marsh to be filled with this proposal,
consisting of S artina patens, Iva frutescens, Baccharis halimifolia, and Borrichia frutescens. The
shoreline of the property is vegetated periodically with SSpartina alterniflora. The area within the
dike walls is incorrectly shown on the plats as being impervious. This area is very compacted due
to truck traffic depositing spoil, but consists predominantly of sand. The existing bulkhead is non-
functioning, giving way to coastal marsh on the landward side of the structure. Submerged
vegetation is present adjacent to the site, more to the west side than closer to the bridge. Aerial
photography through the years shows this sandy shallow area to be conducive to the growth of the
submerged grass beds, and indicates periods of accretion and erosion in recent years. The 2000
photo shows that the grass beds have benefited from the slow storm season of the past year. Also
clear on the photography is a borrow area adjacent to the causeway between the Harker's Island
bridges. It is this borrow area that the applicant has considered for connecting water body and
access to the federal channel and the barrier islands of Carteret County.
The North River and Straits systems in this area are open to the taking of shellfish for
consumption; the DWQ water quality classification is SA; the waters are not designated as
Primary Nursery Area; and the Carteret County Land Use Plan classifies this area of the county
as Rural, with all AEC's classified Conservation. The body of water at the project site is stated as
.7 mile. Current soundings within the North River at the location of the proposed boat ramp
range from -.8' nlw to -5' nlw. Sheet 2 of 7 of the submitted project plats has located the 30'
buffer from nhw, but has inaccurately labeled the 75' AEC as the 30' buffer line.
The WRC is proposing to grade 1.6 acres of high ground for the construction of a parking lot to
accommodate 25 vehicles, and a maneuvering area. This will necessitate the placement of ABC
stone, creating approximately 45,522 sf of impervious area, or 38% of the property. The
applicant has indicated to me that the agency is currently revising their stormwater plan to reduce
this area to 34% and 24 parking spaces, but the present application is as stated above. Of the
proposed impervious area, 10,700 sf will be within the Coastal Shoreline AEC, or <30%. The
NC WRC
Page 03
construction of the drive to the ramp will necessitate the filling of approximately 4 6 sf of
transitional high marsh. The parking area will be defined by and stabilized on its lower or south
side by a 200' retaining wall.
A vinyl bulkhead is proposed landward of the marsh along the property edge, for a total ength of
485'. This structure will be landward of the existing dilapidated structure. There is evidence of
erosion along the shoreline sufficient to allow for shoreline stabilization. The bulkhead ontinues
to the proposed ramp area, where it turns into the water and becomes a breakwater. he solid
wall is proposed for 42' to 44' below the nhw contour of the adjacent shoreline. At t is point,
breakwaters continue into the water on both sides of the proposed ramp, with a third dis onnected
wall on the east side. These structures combine for a total of 285', and are intended t prevent
shoaling of the newly excavated channel and ramp area. The breakwaters will extend ' higher
than the normal high water line, and will have 3" gaps every 3'. The structure as prop sed will
be constructed of concrete, and will extend ±220 into the water body at its furthest ex nt.
The concrete drive with accompanying sidewalks will be 46' wide up to the normal gh water
contour. At this point it becomes a 30' double lane boat ramp, continuing for 66' in len , to 47'
below the nlw contour of the adjacent shoreline. Given the increase in elevation of the amp due
to construction materials, the ramp will extend only 30' below the new low water conto r created
by the ramp. Floating docks, 61' x 8' are proposed for launching safety along the si es of the
ramp. The docks will be located greater than 15' from the adjacent riparian corridors and will
extend to a post excavation depth of -4'6" nlw, approximately 82' from the nhw cont ur.
Because the water depths at the end of the ramp average -.5' to -.8' nlw, the ap licant is
proposing to excavate a channel for 345', connecting to the existing channel created by e borrow
area alongside the causeway. The channel will vary from 45' to 50' in width, and will r quire the
removal of 1000 to 1400 cubic yards of material to reach a terminating depth of -5' w. The
method of removal proposed is bucket to barge, offloading to an onsite spoil disposal rea. The
area designated for spoil is in the same general vicinity as that currently used for spoil nd debris
by the DOT, but will be expanded somewhat. The proposed disposal area is 220' x 110', and will
have dike walls constructed to a height of 7', with an interior height of 5.5'. The wall will have
a 14' base, and a 2' top width, for 1:1 side slopes. This feature will have a capaci of 5000'
cubic yards. No settling basin or effluent pipe are proposed, as the material and remo?al method
will not require the amount of de-watering to necessitate quick drainage. The berm as r flected on
the submitted plats does not meet the 30' required buffer from the nhw contour for all on-water
dependent uses. The spoil area will not be available for future uses, as it will be inte rated into
the parking area. However, given the method of removal and the proximity to the ramp,
offloading to trucks in the future should not prove to be a problem.
The NC WRC has stated that they intend to pursue the creation of a "no-wake" z?ne at this
location in the future. It is not a request in the current application.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The project as proposed will require the filling of approximately 436 sf of high mars of
infrequent interaction with the system. The access channel will require the excavat1 n of 1000
to 1400 cubic yards of sandy material from approximately 16,388 sf of shallow bott m habitat.
NC WRC
Page 04
This area is conducive to the growth of submerged vegetation, and the grass is present in small
amounts within the footprint of the channel. The boat ramp will require the filling of
approximately 2943 sf of sandy, shallow bottom habitat. The docks alongside of the boat
ramp will incorporate and shade 488 sf of open water. The spoil area will require
approximately 24,200 sf of previously disturbed high ground area, which is part of the 1.6
acres to be graded for parking and maneuvering of vehicles. Approximately 38 % of the lot
will be impervious to stormwater after completion of the project. The potential for re-
suspension of sediments from prop wash is low due to the sandy substrate.
The proposal will provide a public facility for boaters in an area heavily vested in boating
activity. The proximity of the site to the federal channel makes it a desirable location for such
a facility. Twenty four to twenty five parking spaces will be provided for day use. Entrance
into the site by car may prove hazardous, due to the poor visibility at the entrance of the
facility.

Environmental Assessment
Straits Landing Boating Access Area
Harkers Island, SR 1335
Carteret County, North Carolina
This document is prepared as an Environmental Assessment (EA) in compliance v
Section .0500 of the North Carolina Administrative Code relative to the North Carolina
Environmental Policy Act of 1971 (1 NCAC 25; G. S. 113A-1 et seq., as amended). The
purpose of this EA is to analyze environmental impacts from construction of a new boatii
access area located north of Harkers Island in Carteret County, North Carolina.
Project Description
th
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) is proposing
construction of a new facility on a 2.56-acre tract of land that will provide free public bo it
access to North River, Back Sound, The Straits, and Core Sound. The proposed location s
approximately 6.5 miles from the Atlantic Ocean and 10 miles from the Intracoastal Wat rv
This facility will include one double lane concrete boat ramp, two floating docks, a verti al
breakwater, two vinyl retaining walls, and a crushed stone parking lot on approximately .6
acres of land. Additionally, a 345-foot access channel will be excavated water ward of t e
launch ramp to achieve an average 5.0 feet depth. Entrance to the access area will be dir ct
from SR 1335.
The project site is located on the north side of the Harker's Island Bridge on SR 335
approximately 4 miles south of Highway 70 via SR1332 near the community of Otway. un
land uses of the project area are limited to a NCDOT spoil site and an unimproved, unde ign
public access area. Current land uses adjacent to the project area include forested areas nd
private property.
Need for the Proposed Project
Providing public access for recreational uses of wildlife and fisheries resources i
important to accomplishing the NCWRC's overall management objectives. The Boatin Safety
Act (G. S. 75A-1 et seq.) contains provisions for funding and expenditures to purchase r lease
areas for constructing boating access facilities [G. S. 75A-3(c)]. As of September 1, 20 0, the
NCWRC maintains and operates 187 boating access areas across North Carolina. The d mand
for new access areas continues to increase statewide. The popularity of existing access reas has
lead to overcrowding and long waits for launching and retrieving boats.
Locating an access area at the proposed project site will provide public access t North
River, Back Sound, The Straits, Core Sound, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Atlantic Ocean
for anglers, commercial fishermen, recreational boaters and waterfowl hunters. Althou h data
that would project expected use at the proposed site are not presently available, North ver,
Back Sound, and Core Sound have been historically popular among recreational fishe en and
waterfowl hunters, and the Intracoastal Waterway experiences heavy utilization throug out the
year. The closest developed public boat ramp to the proposed site is located in Beaufo on
Taylor's Creek approximately 15 miles away. A fee based launching area is located wi thin the
township of Harkers Island and currently receives high utilization. However, the launc fee
3
continues to increase annually, and the designated parking area is minimal. Town officials have
placed no parking signs just outside the launch facility to prevent users from parking along the
main road and blocking residential driveways. It is anticipated that the Straits Landing access
area will be heavily used immediately after completion.
Alternatives Considered
The objective of the proposed project is to provide a facility that will enhance public
access to the waters of North River, Back Sound, The Straits, Core Sound, the Intracoastal
Waterway, and the Atlantic Ocean. Alternatives to the proposed project design were considered
and included different configurations for the on-site ramp location, breakwater length, ramp
angle, and channel excavation length. The proposed design represents the least impacts to
aquatic and terrestrial resources and to the safety of motorists on SR 1335. Furthermore, an
alternate site location was considered in Marshallberg but was rejected due to the presence of
extensive submersed aquatic vegetation (SAV) and shellfish beds, the designation of adjacent
waters as ORW, and the lack of space needed for parking.
Environmental Description
Project area plant communities:--The proposed access site on North River is currently
used as a storage area for the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT). Mounds
of soil and various pieces of equipment can be found at the site. Development of this access area
will not require the clearing of any wooded areas, and wooded areas adjacent to the project site
will not be disturbed. The site area located water ward of the existing bulkhead and coastal
marsh, or MHW includes a sandy beach area characteristic of a high-energy shoreline.
Wetlands:--Approximately 0.26 acres of coastal marsh and possibly section 404 wetlands
have been identified within the proposed site. The dominant species present are salt-meadow
hay Spartina patens, sea ox-eye Borrichia frutescens, and marsh elder Iva frutescens.
Additional species present include seaside goldenrod Solidago sempervirens, marsh pennywort
Hydrocotyle bonariensis, spike grass Distichlis spicata, three square Scirpus robustus, and
seashore elder Iva imbricata. The primary values associated with wetlands include water
storage, shoreline stabilization, and pollutant removal. The existing bulkhead along the
northwestern corner of the property has failed in several places allowing a section of wetlands to
establish between the bulkhead and NCDOT's storage area. A second section of wetlands are
located adjacent to the proposed boat ramp and maneuvering area. Due to their proximity to the
river, these wetland areas will slow and retain floodwaters during storm events while reducing
sedimentation and erosion. These areas will also function to remove nitrogen, phosphorus, and
other pollutants as floodwaters spread through and sediments are deposited. Approximately 0.01
acres of wetlands will be impacted during construction of the boat ramp and maneuvering area.
The wetlands impacted are considered transitional and do not fully support wetland functions.
Submersed aquatic vegetation:--Approximately 0.005 acres of SAV will be impacted by
the construction of the launch ramp. SAV typically functions as spawning and nursery areas,
protective cover, and feeding sites for numerous fish species. Ron Secler and staff with the
Division of Marine Fisheries investigated the site for SAV quality. Their evaluation concluded
that due to wave action and strong currents passing under the Harkers Island bridge, the waters
4
adjacent to the proposed site are characterized as high-energy, and the existing SAV
very limited habitat.
Fisheries resources:--North River, Back Sound, and Core Sound are classified as
waters, and portions of Back and Core sounds are further classified as ORW. Numerous
saltwater fish species frequent The Straits, and they include Atlantic menhaden Brevoorti
tyrannus, cobia Rachycentron canadum, bluefish Pomatomus saltatrix, spotted seatrout
Cynoscion nebulosus, weakfish C. regalis, black drum Pogonias cromis, red drum Sciaen
ocellatus, striped mullet Mugil cephalus, spot Leiostomus xanthurus, Atlantic croaker
Micropogonias undulatus, gag Mycteroperca microlepis, black sea bass Centropristis stri
gray snapper Lu#anus griseus, Florida pompano Trachinotus carolinus, pinfish Lagodon
rhomboides, sheepshead Archosargus probatocephalus, southern flounder Paralichthys
lethostigma, and summer flounder P. dentatus. Anadromous species collected include str
bass Morone saxatilis and blueback herring Alosa aestivalis. North River and The Straits
provide suitable spawning habitat and nursery areas for many of the above listed species.
general, North River, The Straits, and Core and Back sounds are productive shellfish area
However, an investigation conducted by Mike Marshall and staff with Division of Marine
Fisheries concluded that there are no shellfish species inhabiting the proposed channel or
area. This area is characterized as a high-energy area, which is not capable of supporting
shellfish beds.
In
unch
Wildlife resources:--The wildlife habitat on the proposed site is of limited value to
the disturbed nature of the site including the ongoing use of heavy equipment. Neverthete
ss,
several species of small mammals and birds are expected to occasionally visit this site. I
addition, several species of wading birds including American egret Casmerodius albus a d great
blue heron Ardea herodias may frequent the shallow water habitat adjacent to the propos d site.
Cultural resources:--There are no known cultural or archaeological resources on t e
access area site; however, a formal archeological survey on this site has not been conduc ed.
Remnants of a wooden bulkhead are located on the project site, but its historical importa ce as
determined by the North Carolina Department of Archives and History is not significant. The
timber bulkhead extends an approximate length of 193 feet and has failed in several loca ions.
Description of the Proposed Action
Access road:--Access to the parking area will be directly from SR 1335 which is 55-
mph highway maintained by NCDOT. SR 1335 has a 60-ft right-of-way that has been
considered in the design phase of the project.
Maneuvering area:--Development of 10,087 ft2 of uplands will be necessary for
completion of the vehicle maneuvering area. This clearing will impact approximately 0 01 acres
of transitional wetlands. Once cleared, development of the area will consist of grading nd
filling as necessary and covering the area with approximately 6 inches of crusher run C stone.
Material excavated from the project site will be graded into the proposed parking area.
Access Channel: --A channel approximately 340 feet long, an average of 45 feet wide,
and 5.0 feet deep will be excavated to an existing offshore channel in order to achieve a proper
boat launching depth. A total of 983 yd3 of material below mean low water (MLW) and 0 yd3
of material above MLW will be excavated during construction of the boat ramps and access
channel. Excavation depths will not exceed existing depths in the river. The existing offshore
channel that will be utilized to connect the new channel has an existing average water depth of
5.0 ft and averages a 50-foot width. The material excavated from below MLW during
construction of the proposed access channel will be pumped to the proposed parking area, which
are uplands. The available spoil disposal area is 0.54 acres and the approximated height of
disposal will be 1.5 feet. This material will be allowed to dry and drain before finishing the
parking area grade.
Parking area:--The parking area construction will be located adjacent to the maneuvering
area. The existing NCDOT spoil material found on uplands of the site will be graded into the
site during preparation of the parking area. Non-gradable material will be disposed of properly.
Grading of approximately 57,953 ft2 of uplands will be necessary to construct this area.
Development of the parking area will consist of grading and filling as necessary and covering a
37,384-ft2 area with 6 inches of crusher run ABC stone. Additionally, a 480-ft vinyl retaining
wall with a maximum height of 6.0 ft will be constructed landward of the mean high water
(MHW) along the southwestern edge of the parking area. An existing timber bulkhead that has
failed in several places will be left in place on the waterside of the proposed retaining wall. An
additional 200-ft vinyl retaining wall will be constructed near the center of the parking area to
assist with storm water control.
Boat ramps:--One double lane 66-ft x 30-ft boat ramp, two 61-ft x 8-ft floating dock, and
a 20-ft x 46-ft concrete apron will be constructed in the southwest corner of the maneuvering
area. Ramps will be constructed of concrete whereas the floating dock and fixed dock will be
constructed of salt treated lumber. A total of 983 yd3 of material below mean low water (MLW)
and 0 yd3 of material above MLW will be excavated during construction of the boat ramps and
access channel. Excavation depths will not exceed existing depths in the river and existing
channel. The existing depths in the channel are an average depth of 5.0 feet. The offshore water
depths range from 0.5 to 3.5 feet. Approximately 124 yd3 of material (concrete slab, class A
stone and No. 57 washed stone) below MLW and 253 yd3 of material above MLW will be used
as fill beneath the launch ramps. On either side of the boat ramps and channel, a concrete
breakwater will be constructed perpendicular to the shoreline. The breakwater will extend
approximately 182 ft from shore along the south side of the ramps and channel, whereas the
second breakwater along the north side will extend 95 ft from shore.
Permits Required
A State Dredge and Fill and CAMA major permit will be required prior to
commencement of construction activities. Since approximately 0.01 acres of transitional
wetlands will be impacted to complete the boating access area (1.59 acre), a 401 DWQ
Certification may be required and is dependent upon review by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers. Because total project disturbance will exceed one-acre, a sedimentation and erosion
control plan will be submitted.
Environmental Impacts from the Proposed Action
Terrestrial:--Due to the disturbed nature of the site, impacts to terrestrial species will be
negligible. As currently proposed, the project area will result in the alteration of approximately
6
68,040 ft2 of upland habitat to accommodate the maneuvering and parking area, which inc
approximately 0.01 acres of transitional wetlands. Loss of this habitat will not reduce ava
wildlife habitat on the project site. Currently, human activity in the project area includes t
an existing beach and an unimproved boat ramp by the general public as well as a storage
by NCDOT. Although increased human activity may affect some wildlife species, the spe
most intolerant of human activity would not normally frequent the site during daylight hoi
when human activity would be highest.
AA uatic:--Shallow water shoreline habitat complexity useful as refugia for many i
species will be reduced as existing shoreline habitat is removed to accommodate the boat
and access channel. Approximately 983 yd3 of material will be excavated below MLW a:
yd3 of material will be placed below MLW resulting in the physical loss of associated ber
organisms and approximately 0.005 acres of SAV. Habitat characteristics of the project
be modified as an upland riparian area approximately 10,087 ft2 adjacent to North River i
with crusher run stone and concrete ramps. Turbidity and sedimentation in the vicinity o:
ramp will exist during construction. Localized turbidity will persist after project complet
boat traffic increases in this area.
Noise:--Noise levels will increase as construction equipment (bulldozer, backh,
dragline, paving machine, steel roller and motor grader) is used to complete the access
However, such adverse impacts will be short-term and will not exceed levels currently
construction sites utilizing similar equipment.
Socio-economic:--Socio-economic impacts of the project site are generally regal
positive since availability of the access area will result in greater use of commercial bus
in the immediate vicinity. The demand for additional access areas to the Intracoastal W
and surrounding sounds is increasing; thus, opposition to the proposed project is considf
minimal.
Mitigation for Unavoidable Environmental Impacts
Terrestrial and Aquatic Resources:--The project site has been previously distul
direct environmental impacts will be minimal. Approximately 10,087 ft2 of riparian h

The placement of erosion control stone beneath the boat ramp will. provide har substrate
not presently available in the project area. These areas may be colonized to some exte t by
various aquatic organisms tolerant of the characteristics of the altered habitat. Small fi h species
may also utilize the stone riprap as cover from predators.
In order to protect adjacent waters from degradation due to storm water runoff, the
maneuvering area will be sloped away from the concrete ramp. Excess runoff during torm
7
events from the maneuvering area will be sent via sheet flow to a grassed swale in the center of
the parking area. Runoff from the parking area will be either absorbed by a 6 in. layer of crusher
run stone or sent via sheet flow to grassed areas in the center of the parking area, along the
northern edge of the parking area, and on the northern corner of the property. During
construction, silt fences will be used around the project area to prevent sediment deposition into
adjacent wetlands and surface waters. Steps will be taken to establish a no-wake zone within 50
yards of the access area to minimize localized turbidity after project completion.
In order to assure the proper placement of the launch ramp and appropriate launching
depth, 983 yd3 of material will be excavated below MLW. Excavation depths will not exceed
existing depths of adjoining channels. This activity will temporarily increase turbidity in and
downstream of the project site. In addition, approximately 0.005 acres of SAV will be impacted
by the construction of the launch ramp; however, its location and angle of the ramp has
minimized this acreage. Although a significant impact to SAV is not expected, NCWRC is
currently investigating mitigation through a habitat restoration project with the North Carolina
Coastal Federation grant program.
Summary
NCWRC is proposing construction of a new boating access area located approximately 4
miles south of Otway on SR 1335 in Carteret County. Approximately 68,040 ftz of upland
habitat will be altered to accommodate the proposed access area. The project site has been
previously disturbed, so the direct environmental impacts will be minimal. There are
approximately 0.26 acres of coastal marsh and possibly 404 section wetlands on the proposed
site and some SAVs in the vicinity of the proposed boat launch. Due to the lack of other
alternatives, the construction will impact approximately O.Olacres of coastal marsh and 0.005
acres of SAVs. Total area to be excavated during construction of a double lane concrete launch
ramp, two floating docks, an access channel, and two vertical breakwaters include 983 yd3 below
MLW and 0 yd3 above MLW. Fill material beneath the launch ramps will include 124 yd3 below
MLW and 253 yd3 above MLW. The maneuvering area and parking area will be sloped and
graded with 6 inches of crusher run stone. A 483-ft vinyl retaining wall will be constructed
landward of MHW along the southwestern edge of the parking area. An existing 193- ft timber
bulkhead will be left as is on the waterside of the proposed retaining wall. An additional 200-ft
vinyl retaining wall will be constructed near the center of the parking area to assist with storm
water control. Access to the site will be directly from SR 1335.
Benefits from the access area include increased public recreational opportunity on North
River, Back Sound, The Straits, Core Sound, the Intra-coastal Waterway, and the Atlantic
Ocean. Currently, the proposed access area is used as a beach and unimproved boat access by
the general public as well as a storage area by NCDOT. Use of the access area will benefit the
local economy as fishermen and recreational boaters patronize commercial businesses in the
vicinity of the project area. Although the project could have adverse impacts on aquatic and
terrestrial resources, such impacts will be minimized through effective erosion and
sedimentation control measures and the proper routing of storm water runoff.
Finding of No Significant Impact

Regulatory Division
Action ID No. 200100361
North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission
1720 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1720
Dear Sir:
On February 11, 1991, we renewed general permit No. 198000291 (copy enclosed), that
provides Federal authorization for construction activities that receive authorization from the State
of North Carolina.
A review of your application received January 22, 2001, for Department of the Army
authorization to construct a public boating access which includes the construction of a boat ramp,
bulkhead, breakwater, parking area, and dredging of an access channel on the northwest side of
the Harker's Island Bridge, north or Harker's Island, Carteret County, North Carolina indicates it
to be a candidate for Federal authorization under this general permit. Accordingly, the
administrative processing of your application will be accomplished by the North Carolina
Division of Coastal Management. Comments from Federal review agencies will be furnished to
the State.
If your application must be withdrawn from this general permit process for any reason, you
will be informed regarding its further management. If there are no unresolved differences in
State-Federal positions or policies, the final action taken on your application by the State will
result in your receiving written notice from us that your application is consistent with the general
permit and you may commence your activity. Only after receiving such confirmation should you
begin work.
A
C
Your application, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Section 10 of the
River and Harbor Act, has been assigned Action ID No. 200100361 and will be coordinated by
the undersigned in our office available at telephone [phone].

Dear Mr. Dorney:

Reference the application of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission for
Department of the Army authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to construct a
public boating access which includes the construction of a boat ramp, bulkhead, breakwater,
parking area and channel dredging on the northwest side of the Harker's Island Bridge, north of
Harker's Island, Carteret 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 404 of the Clean
Water Act and 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 same law. A
Department of the Army permit will not be granted until the certification has been obtained or
waived.
In accordance with our administrative regulations, in most cases, 60 days after receipt of a
request for certification is a reasonable time for State action. Therefore, if you have not acted on
the request, or asked for an extension of time, by March 26, 2001, the District Engineer will .
deem that waiver has occurred.

SUBJECT: Revised permit application by N.C. Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) for Straits Landing boat launching
facility, Carteret County
Attached pleasefind a revision to the referenced project. The project was originally
submitted for your review and comment in early January of 2001. The NCWRC has
since determined that a redesign of the project is necessary to satisfy stormwater
regulations (see attached 3/22/01 letter from Ms. Shannon Deaton of the NCWRC), and
the attached workplan drawings reflect the new design. In that each of your agencies
either commented on or has direct regulatory authority over the proposed project, I
wanted to give you the opportunity for additional review and comment. I would
therefore like to request that any comments or concerns that you may have on the revised
design be submitted to this office no later than April 23, 2001. Please let me know if you
have any questions or require additional information on the revised proposal. Thank you
for your additional attention to this matter.

Re: NCWRC Straits Landing Proposed Boating Access Area
Carteret County on North River
Dear Mr. Huggett:
Due to the extensive design required to accomplish a high density development that meets current Stormwater
regulations for the proposed boating access area on North River in Carteret County, a less optimum low density
design is being submitted as a revision for our CAMA Major Permit. Please find enclosed five copies of the revised
plats. There are several modifications that have been made to the design plats and are noted below.
• The description of the planned development: Construction of a free boat launching facility, which includes: 2
single lane concrete launch ramps, one floating courtesy dock, two fixed docks, a crushed stone maneuver and
parking area.
• The two single lane concrete launch ramps will be 15 feet wide each.
• The floating and fixed docks extend 57 feet from MHW which is not a modification from the previously
submitted design.
• Since the double launch lane has been modified to two single lanes with a floating dock in the center, the
excavation below MHW has been increased to 1,276 cubic yards.
• Due to the design modification, the retaining wall within the parking area has been omitted. The length of this
wall was approximately 200 feet.
• The length of the retaining wall averaging a distance of 30 feet landward of MHW is approximately 550 feet
long.
• The concrete walkway within the 75 foot AEC and 50 foot buffer has been omitted.
• The total size of area to be graded has been slightly reduced to 1.54 acres.
• The revised percentage of impervious tract within the AEC has been reduced to 18%.
• A revised Stormwater Management Plan was submitted for review on February 23, 2001 and does not include
the modifications listed above. The appropriate personnel will be notified of these changes.
• A Sedimentation and Erosion Plan was submitted for review on March 8, 2001, but does not include the
modifications listed above. The appropriate personnel will be notified of these changes.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at [phone] ext.295.
Sincerely,
Shannon L. Deaton

Dear Mr. Huggett:
Reference the application of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission for a
Department of the Army permit to construct a public boating access which includes the
construction of a boat ramp, bulkhead, breakwater, parking area and channel dredging on the
northwest side of Harker's Island Bridge, north of Harker's Island, Carteret County, North
Carolina.
The Federal agencies have completed review of the proposal as presented by the application
and your field investigation report.
We recommend that the following conditions be included in the State authorization:
1. All work authorized by this permit must be performed in strict compliance with the
permit plans, which are a part of this permit.
2. All backfill materials will be obtained from a high ground source and confined landward
of the permitted bulkhead.
3. No excavation or filling will be permitted between the dates of April 1 and September 30
of any year without the prior approval of the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management.
4. All excavated materials will be confined above mean high water (MHW) elevation
contour and landward of any regularly or irregularly flooded vegetated wetlands.
5. The terminal end of the pipeline from the dredge into the diked retention area will be
positioned at or greater than 50 feet from any part of the dike and a maximum distance from
spillways to prevent dike erosion and to allow adequate settlement of suspended solids.
6. A water control structure will be installed at the intake end of the effluent pipe leading
from the retention area in order to ensure maximum settlement of suspended solids.
7. Flow from the diked retention area will be confined by pipe, trough, or similar device to
a point at or below the mean low water (MLW) elevation contour to prevent gully erosion and
siltation.
8. Excavation will not exceed 5 feet below the elevation of mean low water (MLW).
9. The temporary placement or double handling of excavated or fill materials within waters
or vegetated wetlands is not authorized.
10. This permit does not authorize the interference with any existing or proposed Federal
project, and the permittee will not be entitled to compensation for damage or injury to the
authorized structure or work which may be caused from existing or future operations undertaken
by the.United States in the public interest.
11. 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. Use of the permitted activity must
not interfere with the public's right to free navigation on all navigable waters of the United States.
12. The permittee shall comply with the attached list of United States Coast Guard
Regulations.
13. If the display of lights and signals on the authorized structure is not otherwise provided
for by law, such lights and signals as may be prescribed by the U.S. Coast Guard will be installed
and maintained by and at the expense of the permittee.
14. It is possible that the authorized structure may be damaged by wave wash from passing
vessels. The issuance of this permit does not relieve the permittee from taking all proper steps to
ensure the integrity of the permitted structure and the safety of moored boats. The permittee will
not hold the United States liable for any such damage.
15. No excavated or fill material will be placed in any location or in any manner so as to
impair surface water flow into or out of any wetland area.
16. Authorized structure and associated activity will not cause an unacceptable interference
with navigation.
17. The activity will be conducted in such a manner as to prevent a significant increase in
turbidity outside the area of construction or construction-related discharge. Increases such that
the turbidity in the water body is 50 NTU's or less in all rivers not designated as trout waters by
the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM), 25 NTU's or less in all
saltwater classes and in all lakes and reservoirs, and 10 NTU's or less in trout waters, are not
considered significant.
18. No wet cement is to be poured below the mean high water contour line. All portions of
the ramp to be constructed below this line must first be poured and cured on high ground.
19. This Department of the Army permit does not obviate the need to obtain other Federal,
State, or local authorizations required by law.
20. The permittee understands and agrees that, if future operations by the United States
require the removal, relocation, or other alteration, of the structure or work herein authorized, or if,
in the opinion of the Secretary of the Army or his authorized representative, said structure or work
shall cause unreasonable obstruction to the free navigation of the navigable waters, the permittee will
be required, upon due notice from the Corps of Engineers, to remove, relocate, or alter the structural
work or obstructions caused thereby, without expense to the United States. No claim shall be made
against the United States on account of any such removal or alteration.
In addition, the permittee shall notify
