Ocracoke Holdings, LLC
Hyde County
Project Setting
The project area is located off SR 1335 on the southwest side of Ocracoke
Island at Springers Point adjacent Teaches Hole on the Pamlico Sound near
Ocracoke Inlet in Hyde County, North Carolina. The site is an undeveloped 33.28
acre tract characterized by extensive salt marsh and maritime forest. Man made
influences on the property include a rudimentary gravel road that leaves SR 1335
and bisects the property toward the water ending at the shoreline on the southwest
side of the tract. There is also a gravesite for a previous landowner and his horse
located on the southwest side of the tract. The tract was recently the subject of a
conservation easement with a two lot waterfront out holding. The conservation
easement is held by the Coastal Land Trust with funds to purchase the easement
provided by the North Carolina Clean Water Trust Fund. The two waterfront out
holdings are located on the southwest side of the property between Springers Point
and Old Slough Creek. Uplands on the property are vegetated primarily with live
oaks, yaupon and wax myrtle. There exist on the north and south sides of the
property extensive coastal wetlands marsh vegetated primarily with Juncus
roemarianus, Distichlis s ip cata, Spartina patens and Spartina alterniflora. The
shoreline is a sandy shifting estuarine beach with an overwash sand berm
transitioning to coastal wetlands marsh or uplands. Located at Springers Point is a
relic stone jetty/groin. There is an existing stone revetment stabilizing the
shoreline between Springers Point and Old Slough Creek. It appears that the
existing stone revetment was constructed with a break in it some ± 175' wide in the
area where the rudimentary road reaches the shoreline. Erosion has occurred in
this area forming a shallow half mooned shaped area along the shoreline between
the two areas of stone revetment. The remmenents of a wooden boat are located
within the eroded area. A viable stand of Spartina alterniflora marsh exist within
and landward of the existing stone revetment. Water depths in the project area are
generally shallow (<3'). There is submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) including
eel grass Zostera marina) and shoal grass Halodule wri hth in the nearshore
areas, visible from the shoreline. There are marketable shellfish in the area around
Old Slough Creek.
The Pamlico Sound in this area is classified as SB by the Environmental
Management Commission and is open to shellfishing.
Project Description
The applicant is proposing to construct 1,020' of stone sill offshore the existing
stone revetment between Springers Point and Old Slough Creels. The sill will be
constructed 5' offshore the existing rock revetment with the exception of two areas along
the shoreline where the shoreline curves landward. The sill will be constructed in a
straight line across these areas. The shoreline in the smaller of these two areas is already
stabilized with the existing stone revetment while the other is the location of the break in
the existing stone revetment that appears to have experienced some erosion. The
applicant proposes to plant coastal wetland marsh landward of the proposed stone sill in
these two curved areas encompassed by the proposed stone sill. These areas are 1,127 ft2
and 5,675 ft2 respectively. Drop downs in the proposed stone sill are proposed every
100'. The drop downs will have 1.5' to V side slopes with a base width of 5'. The drop
downs will be constructed to the height of mean high water. The sill will have 1.5' to l'
side slopes with a base width of 13.5'. The sill will have a top width of 3' with a height
of 1.5' above mean high water level. One pier system is plaiuied for each waterfront lot
out holding. A 6' x 125' pier and a 6' x 135' pier are planned each with a 6' x 46' t-head
platform and two slips.
Anticipated Impacts
The project as proposed will result in the filling of 13,770 ft' of a sandy estuarine
substrate in the Pamlico Sound including areas of SAVs. Approximately 10,202 ft 2 of
shallow water habitat will be encompassed by the stone revetment. SAV's are within
and/or along the entire alignment of the proposed sill as well as within the 10,202 ft 2 of
shallow water habitat to be sectioned off by the sill. If successful the marsh planting will
create ±6,802 ft2 of coastal wetlands marsh resulting in some loss of shallow water
habitat proportional to and dependent upon the success and density of the created coastal
wetland marsh. The pier will shade 2,040 ft' of Pamlico Sound bottom. The project is a
precursor to further development of two waterfront out holdings located on the tract.

Re: Major CAMA Permit Application - Ocracoke Holdings, LLC
Springers Point - Ocracoke, NC
Dear Mr. Moore:
The purpose of this correspondence is for Quible and Associates, P.C. to submit to the NC
Division of Coastal Management (DCM) a Major Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA)
Permit Application on behalf of Ocracoke Holdings, LLC. The subject property is a 33.28 parcel
of land located adjacent to the Pamlico Sound in Ocracoke, Hyde County, North Carolina.
The southwestern facing shoreline of the subject property currently has some areas of rip-rap
along the shoreline and an existing rock groin that extends perpendicular from the shoreline on
the southwest corner of the property. The existing rip-rap is currently in disrepair and is
providing minimal shoreline protection at this time.
The project proposes to provide additional shoreline stabilization by constructing a stone sill that
will extendl,020 linear feet parallel with the southwest facing shoreline. Approximately every
100 ft. "drop-downs" will be constructed to allow for adequate water exchange landward of the
proposed stone sill. In two specific areas that are shown on the enclosed plat there has been
significant erosion along the shoreline, therefore it is being proposed that the stone sill be
constructed in alignment with the shoreline on either side of the heavily eroded areas. The two
areas described will be replanted with the appropriate plant species and approximately 6,800 sf of
costal wetlands will be created landward of the proposed stone sill.
The following items have been attached and shall be considered part of this submittal package:
1. Major CAMA Permit Applications, DCM-MP Forms 1, 2, & 4
2. 81/2 'I x 11" reduction of Site Plan
3. 3 copies full size (18" x 24") Site Plan
4. Fee Check for $400.00 made payable to NCDENR
5. Copies of the letters and receipts for adjacent property owners
6. A deed for the subject property
The submital package has been sent with a 3 copies of the application plat. The remaining copies

Mr. Raleigh W. Bland'
U. S. Army Corps of Engineers WATER QUALITY SECTION
Washington Regulatory Field Office
P. O. Box 1000
Washington, North Carolina 27889-1000
Subject: ID No. 200310328, Ocracoke Holdings, LLC, Ocracoke Township, Hyde County, NC
Dear Mr. Bland:
This letter provides comments of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service on the Public Notice (PN)
for the subject project. Ocracoke Holdings, LLC, the applicant, has submitted an application for
processing under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA)-Corps permit processing
agreement. 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.
According to the Field Investigation Report (FIR) by the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management (DCM), the applicant proposes to construct a 1,020-foot-long stone sill revetment
between an existing rock groin at Springers Point and Old Slough Creek. The sill would be
constructed five feet waterward of an old, existing rock revetment except in two locations where
the shoreline curves landward. At these two locations the sill would be constructed in a straight
line across these areas. Overall, the sill would be aligned from five to 45 feet waterward of
mean high water (MHW). The sill would enclose 10,202 ft2 (0.234 acre) of shallow, estuarine
habitat. Project plans prepared by Quible and Associates show that the top of the sill would be
1.5 feet above MHW with a top width of three feet and a base width of 13.5 feet. Starting 100
feet south of the existing groin, the sill would have drop-downs, or partial gaps, spaced every 100
feet to allow water flow between the sound and the shallow water enclosed by the sill. The
height of gap over which the water would flow is not given. Two areas (total of 6,802 ft2, or
0.156 acre) between the proposed sill and existing vegetation would be planted with marsh
vegetation. Two piers would be constructed into Pamlico Sound.
The tract that would be fronted by the sill has a conservation easement held by the Coastal Land
Trust. There are two waterfront lots (out holdings) within the tract. There are extensive coastal
marshes vegetated primarily with black needlerush (Juncus roemerianus), salt/spike grass
2
(Distichlis spicata), smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora), and salt meadow cordgrass (S.
patens) on the north and south sides of the tract. Water depths in the project area are generally
less than three feet, and project blueprints show that the sill would be constructed in water less
that two feet deep at MHW. The FIR notes that the nearshore of the project area contains
submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) such as eel grass (Zostera marina) and shoal grass
(Halodule wrightii). The SAV is "within and/or along the entire alignment of the proposed sill
as well as within the 10,202 ftz of shallow water habitat to be sectioned off by the sill."
The FIR indicates that the stone fill for the sill would impact 0.316 acre and the two piers would
shade 0.047 acre. Despite indications in the "Anticipated Impacts" section of the FIR that the sill
could be placed in areas of SAV, Section 7 of the FIR states that all impacts would be to non-
vegetated bottoms of Pamlico Sound. This issue should be clarified.
The Service has reviewed available information on Federally threatened or endangered species
known to occur in Hyde County. We have also reviewed information from the North Carolina
Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database on the reported occurrence of these species in the
County and U. S. Geologic Survey quadrangle maps. Our review indicates that the only federally
listed species likely to occur near the project area is the West Indian manatee (Trichechus
manatus). The NCNHP database shows that manatees have been reported within Silver Lake and
in Pamlico Sound northeast of Ocracoke Township. The primary habitat requirements for the
species are access to vascular aquatic plants, freshwater sources, and proximity to channels 1-2
meters deep (3.3 -6.6 feet). However, project plans indicate that sill construction would occur in
water approximately two feet deep and that water depths are generally less than three feet deep.
Therefore, we believe that the project is not likely to adversely affect the manatee.
All five Atlantic sea turtles are protected by the ESA and may occur in the coastal waters of
North Carolina (Epperly et al. 1995). These species are the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta
caretta), green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas), Kemp's ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys kempi),
hawksbill sea turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata), and leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys
coriacea). Loggerhead, green, and hawksbill turtles feed, to various degrees, on plant material.
Southeastern estuaries, such as Pamlico Sound, are important habitat for sea turtles, especially
immature turtles (Epperly et al. 1995). When in the water, sea turtles are under the jurisdiction
of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). That agency should be contacted regarding
conservation measures for sea turtles in the project area.
Based on information in the FIR, Public Notice, and the NCNHP database, the Service believes
that this project is not likely to adversely affect any federally listed species under Service
jurisdiction, their formally designated critical habitat, or species currently proposed for federal
listing under the ESA, as amended. 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 believes that the stone sill combined with marsh grass planting is preferable to a
vertical wall bulkhead as a means of erosion control. We suggest that certain design features and
construction techniques could be used to benefit fish and wildlife resources. The following
should be considered:
1. Project blueprints indicate that the sill would be placed on top of the existing rip rap.
However, the FIR states that the sill would be five feet waterward of the existing rock
revetment. Recent construction of a similar sill at Hammock Beach State Park on Bogue
Sound near Swansboro (Onslow County) involved the removal of an existing bulkhead.
For the proposed construction all existing rip rap should be either covered by the
proposed sill or removed;
2. The drop downs in the sill are to ensure adequate water transfer. To facilitate this goal
the level for water passage should be as low as possible and certainly below MHW; and,
3. All SAV within the sill footprint should be transplanted to suitable habitat within the
immediate project area.
With due consideration of these issues by the applicant and the Corps, the Service would not
oppose a permit for this project. 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 < howard hallna fws.gov >.
