Subject: Action ID #200300078, NC Wildlife Resources Commission, Boat Launch Facility,
Ocean Isle Beach, Brunswick County
Dear Mr. Wicker:
This letter provides the comments of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) on the subject
Public Notice (PN) for a Department of the Army (DA) permit. The applicant, the Division of
Engineering Services of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC),
proposes to construct a boating access area on the south side of the Atlantic Intracoastal
Waterway (AIWW) adjacent to the NC 904 bridge over the.AIWW. These comments are
submitted in accordance with the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended;
16 U.S.C. 661-667d) and Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 1531-1543). They 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) as they relate to
protection of fish and wildlife resources.
The NCWRC proposes to construct a boat ramp, floating docks, breakwater, bulkhead, road
improvements with a maneuvering area, and parking lot on.a 3.6-acre, stated-owned site. The
access road, parking area, infiltration basins, and part of the maneuvering area would be in
uplands. Parking areas and the improved access road would be constructed with aggregate base
course (ABC) which may be a form of gravel
Project construction would require the excavation of 11,000 ft2 (0:25 acre) of shallow, estuarine
bottom and filling of 5,238 ftz (0.12 acre) of non-vegetated wetlands and 2,110 W (0.05 acre) of
shallow, estuarine bottom. The boat ramp, two floating docks (each 8 feet by 94 feet), and
bulkhead/breakwater would be constructed below mean high water (MHW). The concrete boat
ramp (double lane, 107 feet long by 28 feet wide) would extend approximately 75 feet waterward
of MHW. A vinyl sheet pile breakwater wall would extend 120 feet waterward of MHW. The
waterward end of the boat ramp would require the excavation of approximately 6,975 square feet
(W) (0.16 acre) of shallow, estuarine bottoms of the AIWW down to a depth of 5.5 feet below
mean low water (MLW). Sheet 6 of 7 with the PN indicates that existing depths at the
waterward section of the dredge area range from 2.6 to 5.5 feet below MLW. Other excavation
requirements (4,025 ft2) probably related to construction of the two floating docks and sheet pile
breakwater wall. Some wetlands in the area are devoid of vegetation due to vehicles using the
unimproved boat ramp on the site. Project plans indicate that 0.21-acre area within the site
would be revegetated and an additional 0.1-acre area would have asphalt removed and be
revegetated.
The upper part of the boat ramp, concrete approach, and a small portion of the maneuvering area
are located with an estuarine shoreline area, considered an Area of Environmental Concern
(AEC) under the North Carolina Coastal Areas Management Act (LAMA). Marsh areas
surrounding and abutting the project site are designated Primary Nursery Areas (PNA). A PNA
is an estuarine area where fish may undergo initial post-larval development. Excavation of 1,506
cubic yards of material to construct the boat ramp would create turbidity and sedimentation
within these PNAs.
Two natural communities would be impacted by this project, subtidal estuarine bottoms and
intertidal flats that may now be unvegetated, but may represent sites formerly occupied by
estuarine marsh. Estuarine bottoms support a benthic fauna of aquatic organisms which live in
close association with the bottom or substrate of a given water body. The animals in this diverse
community may be divided into the benthic infauna, those species which burrow into the bottom,
and the epibenthic fauna which live on the surface of the bottom. Estuarine marshes can provide
important habitat for many birds such as the long-billed marsh wren (Cistothorus palustris),
mammals such as the marsh rabbit (Sylvilagus palustris), and nursery habitat for fish.
The Service has reviewed available information on Federally threatened or endangered species
known to occur in Brunswick County. We have also reviewed information from the North
Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCHNP) database on the reported occurrence of these
species in the project area. With one exception, the listed species for Brunswick County occupy
beach areas or vegetated areas that would not be impacted by the project. The NCNHP database
shows that the Federally endangered West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus) has been
reported in the AIWW several miles east of the highway 904 bridge. Observations of manatees
from within the Cape Fear River and surrounding waters are generally reported every year during
the summer months. The number of sightings is usually low, but they do occur within the Cape
Fear River on a regular basis during the warmer months of the year (David Webster, University
of North Carolina at Wilmington, personal communication, May, 1993, and Mary Clark, North
Carolina Museum of Natural History, personal communication, May, 1993). Schwartz (1995)
reports several documented occurrences of the manatee in the coastal waters of,Brunswick
County.
Manatees are seasonal transients in North Carolina, primarily from June through October. They
are aquatic mammals which may use freshwater, brackish, or marine habitats. The species can
move freely between salinity extremes. The species may be found in shallow coastal waters,
bays, lagoons, estuaries, rivers, and inland lakes. Manatees are commonly found in water three
to seven feet deep. Manatees spend much of their time underwater or partly submerged, and this
behavior often makes the species difficult to detect. These mobile animals may not inhabit a
given area for extended periods, and manatees may move into a given project site where the
species has never been reported previously. Therefore, the areas that may contain manatees
cannot be determined by visual surveys that are satisfactory for less mobile, year-round species.
To adequately protect this endangered species, reasonable precautions should be implemented in
areas that could be used by manatees during the wanner months of June through October.
To address the issue of construction activities in water that could be used by the manatee, the
Service developed guidelines, entitled "Precautions for General Construction in Areas Which
May Be Used by the West Indian Manatee in North Carolina," for activities that do not include
the use of explosives. The guidelines are applicable for work only during the months of June
through October. 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.
The Service does not oppose the issuance of this permit. We do see opportunities to minimize
adverse impacts to fish and wildlife resources and measures that could betaken to enhance these
resources in the project area. We offer the following recommendations for inclusion in project
plans:
1. The PN gives the purpose of the project, but there is no discussion of the need. We
recommend that the NCWRC provide greater information on the use of the existing,
unimproved boat ramp and mention any other access points in the general area that could
be abandoned (thus reducing impacts to these shoreline areas) if the proposed launch
facility is built;
2. If other access points are being used along the AIWW near the proposed project and
use these scattered launch sites is degrading the estuarine shoreline, the NCWRC could
seek to discourage the use of such access after the proposed facility is built;
3. Sheet 3 of 6 shows that some existing rip rap occurs between MHW and MLW east of
the proposed boat ramp would remain after project construction. This rip rap could be
removed and restored to intertidal marsh to provide important fish and wildlife habitat;
4. The project would create a parking area and access road with aggregate base course to
replace, in part, the existing asphalt road. The existing asphalt road should be removed to
decrease water runoff into estuarine wetlands and water;
5. As part of the project, some unvegetated area within the site would be revegetated.
The project should create barriers to keep vehicles out of the revegetated areas;
6. The proposed revegetation (approximately 0.31 acre) should use native vegetation
adapted to the soils and hydrology of the area to minimize the need for fertilizer,
pesticides, and/or herbicides; and,
7. The period when dredging should not occur in or near PNAs is February 15 through
September 30. To avoid turbidity and sedimentation in nearby PNAs, excavation and fill
for construction of this boating facility should be limited to the period October 1 through
February 14.
The Service recommends that precautions be taken during excavation within the AIWW during
the months of June through October, to avoid impacts to manatee migrating along the AIWW.
However, we will not require formal implementation of our construction guidelines. An
excavation and fill schedule established to protect PNAs would serve to protect manatees during
most of the period when they are most likely to be in North Carolina. Even without the
incorporation of our recommendations given above, we believe that the Corps' requirements
under Section 7(a)(2) of the ESA have been satisfied.
We remind you that obligations under Section 7 consultation must 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.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to comment on this permit application. Please advise us
of any action taken by the Wilmington Corps District. If you have questions regarding these
comments, please contact Howard Hall at 919-856-4520 (Ext. 27) or by e-mail at

encouraged to furnish comments on factors of concern represented by the above agencies.:
directly to the respective agency, with a copy furnished to the Corps of Engineers.
This notice initiates the Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) consultation requirements of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. The District Engineer's initial
determination is that the proposed project would not adversely impact EFH or associated
fisheries managed by the South Atlantic or Mid Atlantic Fishery Management Councils or the
National Marine Fisheries Service.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403). Any person may request, in
writing within the comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing be held to
consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with particularity, the reasons
for holding a public hearing.
The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the National Register of
Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered properties, or properties listed as being
eligible for inclusion therein, and this site is not registered property or property listed as being
eligible for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register is the extent of
cultural resource investigations by the District Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the
presence of such resources. Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or
historical data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit.
The District Engineer, based on available information, is not aware that the proposed
activity will affect species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened
pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973.

The decision, whether to issue a permit, will be based on an evaluation of the probable
impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity and its intended use on the
public interest. Evaluation of the probable impacts that the proposed activity may have on the
public interest. requires a careful weighing of all those factors that become relevant in each
particular case. The benefits that may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced
against its foreseeable detriments. The decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the
conditions under which it will be allowed to occur, are therefore decided by the outcome of the
general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern for both protection
and use of important resources. All factors that may be relevant to the proposal must be
considered including the cumulative effects of it. Among those are conservation, economics,
aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values,
flood hazards and flood plain values (according to Executive Order 11988), land use, navigation,
shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy
needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership,
and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the placement of
dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, a permit will be denied if the discharge
that would be authorized would not comply with the Environmental Protection Agency's
404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any other applicable guidelines or
criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District Engineer decides that it would be contrary to
the public interest.
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State and local
agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested parties to consider and evaluate the
impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of
Engineers to decide whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal. To
make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic
properties, water quality, general environmental effects and the other public interest factors listed
above. Comments are used in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA). Comments are also used to decide the need for a public hearing and to decide the
public interest of the proposed activity.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received in
this office, Attention: Mr. Henry Wicker, until 4:15 p.m., February 24, 2003 or telephone (910)

NC WRC Ocean Isle Beach Boating Access Area
Page 2
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
The Town of Ocean Isle Beach is located on a barrier island in Brunswick County. The most direct route to
Ocean Isle is)Highway 904 from U.S. Highway 17. Ocean Isle Beach is bordered by the Atlantic Intracoastal
Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean with Tubbs Inlet to the west and Shallotte Inlet to the east. There is a fixed
span, high-rise Bridge that connects Ocean Isle Beach to the Brunswick County mainland.
The subject of this application is a public boating access area being proposed by the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission. The state-owned 3.6 acre project site is located underneath and immediately adjacent
to the Ocean Isle Beach bridge, on the island. The property is roughly 560' by 290' wide. The existing
topography ranges in elevation from 15'+- down to 5'. The western part of the tract contains federal wetlands
and unvegetated and vegetated coastal marsh. The project falls within coastal wetlands, public trust waters,
estuarine waters and estuarine shoreline areas of environmental concern.
The existing features on the site include rip rap rock along one portion of the shoreline abutting the Waterway, a
paved road end (Causeway Drive) and an undeveloped dirt road. Bridge pillars supporting the Ocean Isle Beach
bridge are existing and are shown on the site plan (sheet 3 of 6).
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT:
The applicants propose to construct 38 parking spaces, a gravel access road with maneuvering area, a boat ramp,
two floating docks flanking the proposed ramp, a bulkhead and a breakwater. Stormwater infiltration basins are
also proposed features and are shown on the site plan. The improved access road, parking, part of the
maneuvering area and infiltration basins are all located on high ground. A wheelchair access walkway from the
parking area is also planned. The applicant estimates that about 1.7 acres of land will be disturbed for this
project.
The proposed boat ramp, floating docks and bulkhead/breakwater walls would be located below mean high
water. The proposed double lane concrete boat ramp has been designed at 107' long by 28' wide. The boat ramp
is to be constructed of a 1' stone base, 6" #57 stone, and a 6" concrete slab. The proposed ramp would extend
approximately 75' below mean high water. A 20'x 46' concrete apron is to be constructed at the entrance to the
boat ramp. Two 8' by 94' wood floating Pdocks are proposed; one on each side of the boat ramp. These docks
would provide access to those individuals putting in and taking out their boats at this facility. A vinyl sheet pile
breakwater wall is proposed along side the proposed ramp extending along the excavated channel to mean low
water. This wall would offer protection from passing boat wakes and should also facilitate keeping the
excavated channel clear of accumulated sediments. These proposed vinyl walls extend 120' below mean high
water, farther into the waterbody than any other of the proposed structures. The ends of the vinyl walls would
be approximately 92' from the fender wall underneath the bridge.
Excavation is proposed for the water-ward end of the proposed ramp. About 6975 square feet of shallow bottom
would be dredged in the vicinity of the proposed ramp down to an elevation of -5.5' mean low water. Sep sheet
5 of 6 for existing water depths and elevations. The applicant has calculated about 1,508 cubic yards of spoil
material would be excavated from below mean high water. The material would be excavated by mechanical
means such as trackhoe. The maneuvering area has been designated by the applicant as the proposed spoil
containment area (see sheet 3 of 6) for the dredge spoil. Once dewatered, the material would be spread out and
contained on site by the proposed bulkhead. A 488'+- bulkhead wall is proposed around the maneuvering area
identified as "spoil containment area" on the plans and transitions into a breakwater wall between mean high
and mean low water along the sides of the proposed ramp. As the bulkhead transitions into a breakwater along
side the boat ramp, the wall is proposed to be constructed leaving a 2" open space every 2 feet.

'*---I------- ------------
Approximately 5,238 square feet of non-vegetated coastal marsh is slated be filled as a result of this project.
Irregularly flooded, non-vegetated coastal marsh to be filled lies within the maneuvering area and ramp approach as
identified on sheet 3 of 6. The "CAMA" line on sheet 3 of 6 signifies CAMA jurisdictional wetlands. The
appearance of the wetland area in the field is sandy substrate, regularly and irregularly flooded and mostly devoid
of vegetation due to vehicles currently using the unimproved boat ramp area. Coastal wetland plants such as
Salicornia spp. and Distichlis spicata are growing and flourishing around the bridge pillars where people do not
drive. Large expanses of spartina aherniflora lie to the west of the project area. Initially the maneuvering area
would be used to dewater and store the dredge spoil out of the Intracoastal Waterway. The maneuvering area is to
be bulkheaded pri or to the excavation work commencing. The dredge spoil would then be excavated and placed in
the maneuvering area for dewatering. Later the spoil area would be leveled out and used for vehicles to turn around
and back down the boat ramp.
The waters of the Intracoastal Waterway have been classified as SA by the Division of Water Quality. They are
conditionally open to shellfishing. The waters of the Intracoastal Waterway are not a designated Primary Nursery
Area as designated by the Division of Marine Fisheries. However, the surrounding marsh areas on this tract and
abutting this tract are Primary Nursery Areas. The areas has been classified as "Conservation" by the Ocean Isle
Beach Land Use Plan.
All of the proposed 38 parking spaces are located on high ground and outside of the 75' estuarine shoreline area of
environmental concern (AEC). The proposed gravel access road and most of the maneuvering area are outside of
the 75' estuarine shoreline AEC. The upper part of the boat ramp, concrete approach, and a small portion of the
maneuvering area are located within the estuarine shoreline area of environmental concern. As previously
discussed, a portion of the maneuvering area is located within unvegetated coastal wetlands. The docks, boat ramp
and breakwater are located within the public trust and estuarine water areas of environmental concern.

NC WRC Ocean Isle Beach Boating Access Area
Page 2
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
The Town of Ocean Isle Beach is located on a barrier island in Brunswick County. The most direct route to
Ocean Isle is Highway 904 from U.S. Highway 17. Ocean Isle Beach is bordered by the Atlantic Intracoastal
Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean with Tubbs Inlet to the west and Shallotte Inlet to the east. There is a fixed
span, high-rise bridge that connects Ocean Isle Beach to the Brunswick County mainland.
The subject of this application is a public boating access area being proposed by-the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission. The state-owned 3.6 acre project site is located underneath and immediately adjacent
to the Ocean Isle Beach bridge, on the island. The property is roughly 560' by 290' wide. The existing
topography ranges in elevation from 15'+- down to 5'. The western part of the tract contains federal wetlands
and unvegetated and vegetated coastal marsh. The project falls within coastal wetlands, public trust waters,
estuarine waters and estuarine shoreline areas of environmental concern.
The existing features on the site include rip rap rock along one portion of the shoreline abutting the Waterway, a
paved road end (Causeway Drive) and an undeveloped dirt road. Bridge pillars supporting the Ocean Isle Beach
bridge are existing and are shown on the site plan (sheet 3 of 6).
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT:
The applicants propose to construct 38 parking spaces, a gravel access road with maneuvering area, a boat ramp,
two floating docks flanking the proposed ramp, a bulkhead and a breakwater. Stormwater infiltration basins are
also proposed features and are shown on the site plan. The improved access road, parking, part of the
maneuvering area and infiltration basins are all located on high ground. A wheelchair access walkway from the
parking area is also planned. The applicant estimates that about 1.7 acres of land will be disturbed for this
project.
The proposed boat ramp, floating docks and bulkhead/breakwater walls would be located below mean high
water. The proposed double lane concrete boat ramp has been designed at 107' long by 28' wide. The boat ramp
is to be constructed of a 1' stone base, 6" #57 stone, and a 6" concrete slab. The proposed ramp would extend
approximately 75' below mean high water. A 20'x 46' concrete apron is to be constructed at the entrance to the
boat ramp. Two 8' by 94' wood floating docks are proposed; one on each side of the boat ramp. These docks
would provide access to those individuals putting in and taking out their boats at this facility. A vinyl sheet pile
breakwater wall is proposed along side the proposed ramp extending along the excavated channel to mean low
water. This wall would offer protection from passing boat wakes and should also facilitate keeping the
excavated channel clear of accumulated sediments. These proposed vinyl walls extend 120' below mean high
water, farther into the waterbody than any other of the proposed structures. The ends of the vinyl walls would
be approximately 92' from the fender wall underneath the bridge.
Excavation is proposed for the waterward end of the proposed ramp. About 6975 square feet of shallow bottom
would be dredged in the vicinity of the proposed ramp down to an elevation of -5.5' mean low water. See sheet
5 of 6 for existing water depths and elevations. The applicant has calculated about 1,508 cubic yards of spoil
material would be excavated from below mean high water. The material would be excavated by mechanical
means such as trackhoe. The maneuvering area has been designated by the applicant as the proposed spoil
containment area (see sheet 3 of 6) for the dredge spoil. Once dewatered, the material would be spread out and
contained on site by the proposed bulkhead. A 488'+- bulkhead wall is proposed around the maneuvering area
identified as "spoil containment area" on the plans and transitions into a breakwater wall between mean high
and mean low water along the sides of the proposed ramp. As the bulkhead transitions into a breakwater along
side the boat ramp, the wall is proposed to be constructed leaving a 2" open space every 2 feet.
Page 3
--------------------------
Approximately 5,238 square feet of non-vegetated coastal marsh is slated be filled as a result of this project.
Irregularly flooded, non-vegetated coastal marsh to be filled lies within the maneuvering area and ramp approach as
identified on sheet 3 of 6. The "CAMA" line on sheet 3 of 6 signifies CAMA jurisdictional wetlands. The
appearance of the wetland area in the field is sandy substrate, regularly and irregularly flooded and mostly devoid
of vegetation due to vehicles currently using the unimproved boat ramp area. Coastal wetland plants such as
Salicornia spp. and Distichlis spicata are growing and flourishing around the bridge pillars where people do not
drive. Large expanses of spartina alterniflora lie to the west of the project area. Initially the maneuvering area
would be used to dewater and store the dredge spoil out of the Intracoastal Waterway. The maneuvering area is to
be bulkheaded prior to the excavation work commencing. The dredge spoil would then be excavated and placed in
the maneuvering area for dewatering. Later the spoil area would be leveled out and used for vehicles to turn around
and back down the boat ramp.
The waters of the Intracoastal Waterway have been classified as SA by the Division of Water Quality. They are
conditionally open to shellfishing. The waters of the Intracoastal Waterway are not a designated Primary Nursery
Area as designated by the Division of Marine Fisheries. However, the surrounding marsh areas on this tract and
abutting this tract are Primary Nursery Areas. The areas has been classified as "Conservation" by the Ocean Isle
Beach Land Use Plan.
All of the proposed 38 parking spaces are located on high ground and outside of the 75' estuarine shoreline area of
environmental concern (AEC). The proposed gravel access road and most of the maneuvering area are outside of
the 75' estuarine shoreline AEC. The upper part of the boat ramp, concrete approach, and a small portion of the
maneuvering area are located within the estuarine shoreline area of environmental concern. As previously
discussed, a portion of the maneuvering area is located within unvegetated coastal wetlands. The docks, boat ramp
and breakwater are located within the public trust and estuarine water areas of environmental concern.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
This project, as proposed, will impact approximately 1.7 acres of land. Approximately 5,238 square feet of non-
vegetated coastal wetlands would be filled for the planned development. Around 11,000 square feet of shallow
bottom, below mean high water, would be dredged under this proposal. 2,100 square feet of shallow bottom
would be filled by the boat ramp structure. Temporary turbidity would likely result from the proposed work.
Public trust and estuarine waters shaded by the proposed floating docks equals approximately 1,000 square feet. No
boat slips are being proposed. No federal wetlands (404) are to be filled or excavated as a result of this project.
The breakwater walls would quadrant off 5,850 square feet of public trust and estuarine waters within their
boundaries (below mean high water). The breakwater, walls, as designed, would extend 65' waterward past the end
of the proposed floating docks - ending up 92' from the existing bridge fender wall.
The waterbody underneath the Ocean Isle Beach bridge is divided into three areas, created by two, 240' long,
fender wall structures. One "channel" or passage way is between the mainland and the first fender wall. The
middle channel is the Intracoastal Waterway and is between the two fender walls. The third "channel" is from the
fender wall to island shoreline. The third channel area is where the project is proposed. None of the proposed
structures fall within the 80' setback from the edge of the federal channel. From mean high water to the bridge
fender wall ranges from 180' to 220'.
The total area becoming impervious because of the proposed development would be approximately 52,272 square
feet or 1.2 acres. Less than 30% of the estuarine shoreline area would be impervious.
Page 4
Construction of a bulkhead wall around the maneuvering area and along the access road would possibly restrict
vehicles that now drive over the marsh and through the wetlands to access fishing spots on adjacent properties.
This would give the scoured, non-vegetated marsh areas a chance to recover.
Public benefit should be derived from the increased potential for access to the water in a managed way.

Mean Sea Level (MSL)_is a tidal dat=. determined, over a 19.-year National-Tic
Datum Epoch. it pertains to local mean sea level and should not be confused
with the fixed datums of North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88).
NGVD 29 is a fixed datum adopted as a national standard geodetic reference for
heights but is now considered superseded. NGVD 29 is sometimes referred to as
Sea Level Datum of 1929 or as Mean Sea Level on some early issues of Geological
Survey Topographic Quads. NGVD 29 was originally derived from a general
adjustment of the first-order leveling networks of the U.S. and Canada after
holding mean sea level observed at 26 long term tide stations as fixed.
Numerous local and wide-spread adjustments have been made since establishment in
1929. Bench mark elevations relative to NGVD 29 are available from the National
Geodetic Survey (NGS) data base via the World Wide Web at
National Geodetic Survey.
Elevation Benchmark used for Design Development of the proposed boating access area:
NC Geodetic Monument BRU-67- NGVD29 Elevation= 5.92 meters =19.44 feet
From information above: The difference between MTL and MLW is approximately 2.4 feet.
