8. PROJECT SUMMARY: Dare County is proposing to mechanically maintenance
dredge Ranges 1-5 of a Federally authorized channel extending from the mouth of
Doughs Creek at the Manteo Town docks, through Shallowbag Bay and into the
Roanoke Sound. The project will also include the maintenance dredging of a
connector channel extending from Range 1 of the channel to the berth of the Elizabeth
II moored at Roanoke Island Festival Park. Additional dredging is proposed within an
open water area that has not previously been dredged adjacent to the proposed
offload site so that spoil laden barges may safely navigate to the site.
Project Setting
The project site is primarily located within Shallowbag Bay adjacent to the Town of Manteo,
Dare County, within a Federally authorized navigation channel consisting of multiple Ranges.
This project is specific to Rangesl-5. Range 1 begins at the mouth of Doughs Creek between
the Town docks (located to the east of Queen Elizabeth Avenue) and Roanoke Island Festival
Park. Ranges 2-5 of the channel extend ±2.2 miles through Shallowbag Bay and into the
Roanoke Sound. The channel width of Range 1 is ±200' while Ranges 2-5 are 100' in width.
Recent bathymetric surveys were conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) in
January and February 2020 that revealed compromised navigability due to shoaling. It was
reported that existing depths within Range 1 were between -7' and -9' MLLW, while Ranges 2-4
had depths ranging between 4 and -10' MLLW. Per the application, the average depth of
Ranges 1-5 is approximately -5' MLLW.
In addition, the shoaling of a connector channel extending from Range 1 to the berth of the
Elizabeth II at Festival Park has prevented the vessel from navigating into the Roanoke Sound.
The Elizabeth II is a representative 16th century three -masted, six -sailed wooden vessel with a
draft of 8' that requires annual maintenance, but to do so it must navigate to Manns Harbor
using the Federal Channel. Due to the shoaling, the last time maintenance was performed was
in January of 2017. Existing depths within the connector channel range from 4 to -7' MLLW.
The vessel is moored to five fixed dolphins and is accessed via an existing wooden pier and
platform. The shoreline adjacent to the Elizabeth II's berth is a coastal wetland area primarily
vegetated with black needlerush (Juncus roemerianus).
The history of this channel and subsequent dredging was outlined in the submitted application
as follows, "The USACE initially authorized the Manteo (Shallowbag) Bay project on May 17,
1950 by HD31018111 and project improvements were later authorized on December 31, 1970
(HD 91-30319112). The project included the following element:
• A channel 12 feet deep and 100 feet wide from a basin in front of the town of Manteo
extending12.6 miles to and through Roanoke Sound to Old House Channel (Referred to as
Ranges 1 through 17, including Range 17 Extension), including a side channel of the same
dimensions 0.8 mile long to a basin at the town of Wanchese (Referred to as Ranges 14 A,
B, and C)

Dare County, Shallowbag Bay Maintenance Project
Field Investigation Report
Page 3
Although the entire Manteo (Shallowbag) Bay project has been federally authorized, only
portions have been maintained on a regular basis by the USACE. According to the USACE, this
area has not been maintained by the USACE since the construction of the state-owned
Wanchese Seafood Industrial Park in 1981 (T. Horton, personal communication, 2019). Since
that time, the State of North Carolina continued to maintain this stretch of the federal project
periodically. Specifically, the State has performed maintenance dredging within Ranges 1-4 of
the Shallowbag Bay project six times since 1985. Five of these events were conducted with
private contract dredges and one time with the State's Ferry Division plant. The amount of
material removed during each of these six events ranged from 8, 000 cy to 276, 000 cy (Moffatt
& Nichol, 2005). No maintenance dredging, however, has been performed within these
channels since 2005 which has led to impediments to navigation over recent years."
Dredging of the connector channel extending from Range 1 to the Elizabeth II berth at Festival
Park was authorized in July 1983 via a modification to CAMA Major Permit #83-82 issued to the
NC Department of Transportation.
The proposed offload/transfer site of dredged spoils is located at the Marshes Light subdivision
Marina, addressed as 301 Dartmoor Lane, Manteo. The marina has ±1,000' of bulkheaded
shoreline with ±30 slips within a basin area and an additional ±31 slips located on an open
water pier. The highground located on the south side of the marina adjacent to the basin
contains a ±24' wide grassed buffer along the bulkhead as well as a ±200'x50' gravel parking
area and gravel access road to UppowacAvenue (SR 1192). The adjacent property to south of
the marina is a large, vacant area of coastal wetlands consisting primarily of black needlerush
(Juncus roemerianus). The adjacent property to the north contains residential condominiums.
The waters of Doughs Creek are designated as a Primary Nursery Area, classified as SC;HQW
waters and are closed to shellfishing. Inner Shallowbag Bay is designated as a Permanent
Secondary Nursery Area and Outer Shallowbag Bay is designated as a Special Secondary
Nursery Area, both are classified as SC waters and are closed to shellfishing. The Roanoke
Sound is classified as SA;HQW waters and is open to shellfishing within the project area. All the
above described waterbodies are considered Coastal Waters.
The submitted application includes a Sediment Analysis Report (Appendix D), an Affected
Environment Report (Appendix E) and Guidelines for Avoiding Impacts to Manatees
(Appendix F).
Development Proposal
Dare County is proposing to mechanically maintenance dredge Ranges 1-5 of a Federally
authorized channel extending from the Manteo Town docks located at the mouth of Doughs
Creek, through Shallowbag Bay and into the Roanoke Sound. The project will also include
the maintenance dredging of a connector channel extending from Range 1 of the channel to
the berth of the Elizabeth II moored at Roanoke Island Festival Park. Additional dredging is
proposed within an open water area that has not previously been dredged adjacent to the
proposed offload site so that spoil laden barges may safely navigate to the site. Dredging
will be performed via a bucket dredge mounted on a barge.

Dare County, Shallowbag Bay Maintenance Project
Field Investigation Report
Page 4
According to the application, Ranges 1-5 will be dredged to a depth of -10' MLLW within an
area measuring ±11,800' in length by±100' in width. Existing depths are reported to be
approximately -5' MLLW and the-10'MLLW connective depth is located within Range 5 of
the channel. An estimated volume of ±124,063 cubic yards of material with 3:1 side slope
will be removed from within the channel area.
The dredging of the connective channel from Range 1 to the Elizabeth II berth will occur
within the dredging footprint of the authorized 1983 CAMA Major Permit, which was a
±19,021 ft2 area measuring ±290' in length by ±70' in width. Existing depths are reported to
be approximately -4' MLLW and the final proposed dredge depth is -10' MLLW. An
estimated volume of ±4,227 cubic yards of material with 3:1 side slope will be removed from
within the connective channel area.
Dredge spoils will be transported via barges (estimated sizes include 50'x30' and 100'x40') to
the Marshes Light subdivision Marina where it will be directly transferred to dump trucks. The
barges will approach the marina's bulkheaded high ground area from an easterly direction
south of the existing open water docking slips. The estimated draft for fully loaded barges is 4',
and while the open waters of this area include deeper depths, it is anticipated that dredging will
be required to safely gain access to the offload site. The application references a ±57,111 ft2
approach corridor that measures ±420' in length and ±135' in width with water depths that
range from -1' to -7' MLLW. The project narrative states that dredging within this area most
likely will be limited to a 75' wide channel and the larger area request is to account for any
areas of shoaling that may occur and impede barge navigation. The proposed dredge depth
within this area is -6' MLLW, removing ±1,058 cubic yards of material.
Dump trucks will transport the dredge spoils from the offload site to the Dare County Regional
Airport where they will be placed within four upland disposal areas totaling ±35 acres (see
Appendix A, sheets 2 & 13). Bulldozers will then grade the spoil material when dry. No
additional impervious surfaces are proposed, and the spoil areas will be stabilized per
conditions stated in DMLR's Erosion Control Permit (pending per Project Narrative).
Based on the Sediment Analysis Report (Appendix D), the dredge spoils will be composed
primarily of silty sand, sand, clay and clayey silt. An SAV survey was conducted by Quible &
Associates in and around the areas of Shallowbag Bay and the Roanoke Sound in 2004 (see
Appendix E, sheets 9-11) as well as the NMFS using visual interpretation of SAV areas using
high resolution 2006-2008 aerial photography. These studies determined that SAV was not
growing within the vicinity of the proposed dredge areas. Known shellfish resources lie outside
of the proposed dredging footprint (see Appendix E, sheets 11&12) and no direct impacts are
anticipated. No impacts to cultural resources within the proposed dredge areas are anticipated
(see Appendix E, sheets 26-28).
Anticipated Impacts
. The proposed dredging will result in ±1,503,856 ft2 (±34.52 acres) of cumulative shallow water
bottom disturbance:
o Ranges 1-5 is ±1,427,724 ft2 (±32.77 acres)
o The connector channel is ±19,021 ft2 (±0.44 acres)
o Offload site is ±57,111 ft2 (±1.31 acres)

Dare County, Shallowbag Bay Maintenance Project
Field Investigation Report
Page 5
• The proposed dredging will result in ±129,348 cubic yards of spoils composed primarily of silty
sand, sand, clay and clayey silt
• Spoil disposal will result in the cumulative disturbance of±1,525,907 ft2 (±35.03 acres) within
upland areas landward of CAMA jurisdictional AEC's.
• While no site improvements or changes are proposed to the dredge offload site, staff
anticipates that some degree of disturbance will occur during the loading and transport of
dump trucks that may require regrading and seeding within an existing ±2,700 ft2 grassed
area. The use of logging mats within this area may negate this impact.
• Temporary turbidity will occur during dredging operations; however, the applicant has
indicated that dredging activities will be restricted by the general dredging moratorium and will
not commence between April 1 and September 30 in order to protect natural resources.
• Based on submitted documentation within Appendix E, it appears that SAV and shellfish
resources will not be impacted by the dredging activities.
Per a letter received from NCDCR dated 4/15/2020, no historic resources will be affected by
the project.

2.1.1 5b. Give a brief description of purpose, use, and daily operations of the project when complete.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) initially authorized the Manteo (Shallowbag) Bay project on
May 17, 1950 by HD310/81/1 and project improvements were later authorized on December 31, 1970 (HD
91-303/91/2). This federal navigation project is located along the Outer Banks portion of Dare County, North
Carolina, between Oregon Inlet, Roanoke Island, and Albemarle Sound. The project includes the following
elements:
• A channel 6 feet deep and 100 feet wide extending 1.6 miles from Manteo (Shallowbag) Bay through
Roanoke Sound to that depth in Albemarle Sound (Referred to as Range 4A and 4B)
• A channel 12 feet deep and 100 feet wide from a basin in front of the town of Manteo extending12.6
miles to and through Roanoke Sound to Old House Channel (Referred to as Ranges 1 through 17,
including Range 17 Extension), including a side channel of the same dimensions 0.8 mile long to a
basin at the town of Wanchese (Referred to as Ranges 14 A, B, and C)
• A channel 12 feet deep and 100 feet wide extending 8 miles from Oregon Inlet via Old House
Channel to the 12-foot contour in Pamlico Sound (Section from the Bridge to Old House Channel
referred to as Oregon Inlet West Ranges 1 through 6; Old House Channel includes Ranges 1 and 2)
• A channel 14 feet deep and 400 feet wide from the Oregon Inlet gorge across the ocean bar.
Although the entire Manteo (Shallowbag) Bay project has been federally authorized, only portions have been
maintained on a regular basis by the USACE. Over recent years, navigability has been compromised due to
shoaling within the basin between the town of Manteo and Roanoke Island Festival Park and the channel
extending through Shallowbag Bay into Roanoke Sound (Ranges 1 through 5). According to the USACE, this
area has not been maintained by the USACE since the construction of the state-owned Wanchese Seafood
Industrial Park in 1981 (T. Horton, personal communication, 2019). Since that time, the State of North
Carolina continued to maintain this stretch of the federal project periodically. Specifically, the State has
performed maintenance dredging within Ranges 1-4 of the Shallowbag Bay project six times since 1985. Five
of these events were conducted with private contract dredges and one time with the State's Ferry Division
plant. The amount of material removed during each of these six events ranged from 8,000 cy to 276,000 cy
(Moffatt & Nichol, 2005). No maintenance dredging, however, has been performed within these channels
since 2005 which has led to continued navigation difficulties over recent years.
Recent bathymetric surveys in the channels proximate to Manteo were conducted by the USACE in January
and February 2020. These surveys revealed the extent of compromised navigability due to the chronic
shoaling. Specifically, sections of Range 2, Range 3, and Range 4 contain depths as shallow as -5' MLLW.
As such, safe and reliable recreational boating opportunities have been limited within the area. In addition,
this continued shoaling has prevented the Elizabeth II, a representative 161 century sailing ship with a draft of
8 feet, from navigating into Roanoke Sound from its home berth at Festival Park. Without the ability to sail
to Manes Harbor where it can undergo repair and maintenance, the wooden vessel may become structurally
unsound rendering it unable to fulfill its educational mission. In order for the ship to transit to Manes Harbor,
water depths greater than 8 feet are required.
APTIIvi Coastal Planning & Engineering of North Carolina, Inc.

MANTEO (SHALLOWAG) BAY MAINTENANCE DREGING PROJECT
The stated purpose of the USACE's federally authorized Manteo (Shallowbag) Bay project is to provide a safe,
reliable navigable channel from the Atlantic Ocean through Oregon Inlet to Roanoke Sound and connecting
channels to Pamlico Sound. In the same spirit, Dare County is now seeking the necessary permits and
clearances allowing them to perform maintenance dredging within Ranges 1-5 of the federally authorized
project and a connector channel to the berth of the Elizabeth II to ensure safe, reliable navigation within those
specific areas and to maintain the economic viability of the Town of Manteo and Festival Park Without
performing this maintenance dredging, the ability of the Elizabeth H and recreational boaters to navigate safely
to and from Manteo and Festival Park to the Roanoke Sound will continue to be compromised. Furthermore,
dependable navigation through these channels could jeopardize a potential loss of revenue due to loss of
tourism spending for both the town of Manteo and Dare County.

2.1.2 5c. Describe the proposed construction methodology, types of construction-equipmer
used during construction, the number of each type of equipment and where it is to be stored.
The specific construction methodology will be fully defined once the contractor has been selected.. That
being said, the general methodology is as follows. Dredging operations will be performed via a bucket
dredge mounted on a barge. The bucket dredge may vary in size from approximately Icy to 3cy in
volume. Dredged material will be transported via barges (estimated sizes range include 50'x30' and
100'x40') to the offloading site located on the eastern shore of Shallowbag Bay where the material will
then be directly transferred to dump trucks. Although the waters in proximity currently include depths
greater than 4' (the estimated draft for a fully loaded barge), limited dredging be required within this area
may be required to gain access to the offloading site. Dredging in proximity to the offloading site would
be limited to a 75' wide channel down to -6' MLLW within a defined dredging corridor. Dump trucks,
possibly sealed, will then deliver the dredged material from the offloading site to the disposal locations at
the Dare County Regional Airport. Bulldozers will be used to grade the material to the final elevation
within these disposal areas.
Figure 1. Water depths within the construction dredge corridor in proximity to the offloading site.
2.1.3 6a. Project Narrative
Dare County's proposed action includes maintenance dredging within Ranges 1-5 of the federally
authorized Manteo (Shallowbag) Bay project. Ranges 1-5 as depicted in Figure 2 includes the basin
between the town docks at Manteo Festival Park just south of Doughs Creek and a channel that extends
through Shallowbag Bay to Roanoke Sound. In addition to the maintenance dredging within the federally
authorized channel, the project will also include dredging a connector channel between Range 1 and the
berth for the Elizabeth II (Figure 2 and Appendix A). In total, these areas span approximately 2.2 miles.
The footprints within Ranges 1-5 will be maintained utilizing a clamshell bucket dredge dug to the same
width (100') as the federally authorized channel. The depth, however, will be limited to -10' MLLW (the
federal channel is authorized to -1 T) as will the channel connecting Range 1 to the berth of the Elizabeth

124,0(�3 Rna w,aa� a.".
II. Based on the January and February 2020 bathymetric surveys, approximately 90,009 cy of material
could be dredged out of Ranges 1-5 at a depth to -10' MLLW. It is anticipated that approximately 4-599
additional cubic yards of material would be excavated from within the connector channel between Range
1 and the berth of the Elizabeth 1I. Dredging activities will be restricted by the general dredging moratoria
and will not commence between April 1 and September 30 in order to protect natural resources
(Appendices E and F).

Figure 2. Dredging footprint for the proposed Shallowbag Bay dredge maintenance project.
The dredge spoils, composed primarily of silty sand, sand, clay, and clayey silt (Appendix D), will be
transferred from a barge to a landing site located on the eastern shoreline of the bay (Figure 1 above,
Appendix A, and Appendix H). The material will then be loaded directly into trucks and delivered to the
dredge disposal area located within the grounds of the Dare County Regional Airport (Figure 3 below and
Appendix A). Prior to disposal, the dredge disposal site will be cleared, graded, and improved as needed
such that it will conform with DEMLR standards. Furthermore, all sediment control features associated
with the disposal site will abide by those set forth in the conditions stated in DEMLR's Erosion Control
Permit (permit pending). Site improvements at the dredge spoil disposal location will conform with
DEMLR sediment control standards.
