9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
Project Setting
Intersal Inc. is a privately funded underwater archaeological company searching for the final
resting places of two eighteenth century vessels believed to be lost in the area of Beaufort Inlet and
Fort Macon State Park. Their recent magnetometer surveys and follow-up diving operations
suggest a significant group of anomalies, potentially shipwreck material, in the surf zone off Fort
Macon State Park. The overall area of interest comprises 3,040 feet of coastline some 1,000 feet
west of the rock jetty.from the MHW line out to a maximum of 1,000 feet offshore in
approximately 15' of water. The southwest point of the area is marked by the latitude 34 41.45
and longitude 76 41.25, while the southeast point is marked by latitude 34 41.45 and longitude 76
40.75. The waters of the Atlantic Ocean are classified as SB and open to shellfishing. The area is
typified by shifting sands and strong tidal currents.
Project Description
The applicant proposes to conduct "temporary" excavation operations in the shallows from
1,000' to 4,104' west of the rock jetty at Beaufort Inlet under NCDCR permits and a Federal
Admiralty Arrest. Intersal Inc. proposes to use a jack-up barge owned and operated by Ameila
Research and Recovery Company to act as the project's primary diving and excavation platform
(hopefully during October). This barge can maneuver in as little as six feet of water and then
hydraulically jack herself up on three legs to provide a stable platform. The barge has a 10-ton
crane that directs a diver-controlled 36" diameter hydraulic excavator to create "temporary"
craters in the sand over the magnetic anomalies. According to the applicant, when finer and/ or
deeper work is archaeologically appropriate a water injection dredge may be used. The applicant
states that the craters are "temporary" and that past experience has shown that the craters tend to
fill in within a few days and that within 10 days at most, the bottom in the affected area appears
unblemished. Regardless, the applicant has committed to fill in any noticeable craters before
leaving the site.
Anticipated Impacts
The project area measures 1,000' X 3,040' or 3,040,000 fe in size. The area of exploratory
excavation should be substantially less than that amount. Intersal Inc. has stated that the maximum
amount of material excavated for the entire project would be 10,000 yds3. This material would be
deposited back on the ocean bottom in the same area, just away from the immediate area of
anomalies. The course sand being disturbed and redistributed should cause minimal increases in
turbidity but would cause some short-term impacts to the fish utilizing the area as well as to the
benthic organisms. There may be some impact to the general public that could be utilizing the
area at that time of year including perhaps surf fishermen, boat fishermen working the project
area, surfers, etc., but this impact should be minimal.

#3, part d. A brief description of the purpose, use, methods of
excavation and daily operations of the proposed project.
Intersal, Inc. is conducting privately funded underwater archaeological
investigations near Beaufort Inlet under NCDCR permits and a Federal Admiralty
Arrest; searching for the final resting places of two eighteenth century vessels
believed lost in the area. Intersal's recent magnetometer survey and follow-up diving
operations suggest a significant group of anomalies - potential shipwreck material =
lies under the sand bottom in the surf zone off Ft. Macon State Park.
Intersal desires to conduct temporary excavation operations in the shallows from
1,000 feet to 4,040 feet west of the rock jetty at Bogue Point. The overall area of
interest comprises 3,040 feet of coastline from the MHW line out to a maximum of
1,000 feet offshore. The southwest point of the requested area lies (in decimal
minutes) at lat. 34 41.45, long. 76 41.25. The southeast point is at lat. 34 41.45, long.
76 40.75. The requested area is outlined on the accompanying chart, along with the
locations of the three primary anomalies; July, August, and Mariana. The
accompanying magnetic contour charts give details of the potential targets.
Intersal hopes to bring in the jack-up barge Polly L, owned and operated by
Amelia Research and Recovery Company (www.ameliaresearch.com,) to act as the
project's prime diving and excavation platform, hopefully during the month of
October 2003. The Polly L can maneuver herself into as little as six feet of water, and
then hydraulically jack herself up on her three legs so as to sit as a stable platform
above the oftentimes violent ocean below. The intent is to use Polly L's 10-ton crane
to position a diver-controlled, 36" diameter hydraulic excavator to create temporary
craters in the sand over the centers of the anomalies on Intersal's magnetometer
contour charts. Previous experience suggests that cultural material may be uncovered
at crater depths as shallow as 1 foot, rarely more than ten feet, and as deep as 15 feet.
When finer and/or deeper work is archaeologically appropriate, a water injection
dredge may be employed.
All project operations will be in full compliance with archaeological standards
established in cooperation with the Underwater Archaeology Branch (UAB) of the
NC Dept of Cultural Resources. Members of the UAB have been invited to oversee
and/or participate in all project operations aboard Polly L.
Since 1999, in cooperation with the UAB, Intersal has been conducting similar
excavation operations offshore Ft. Macon State Park on dozens of anomalies at water
depths ranging from eight to thirty feet, sometimes creating craters as deep as
fourteen feet into the sand. In every case, all craters were seen to quickly fill back in
a few days after excavation and - within ten days. at most - the bottom in the area soon
appeared virtually unblemished. Apparently, the area's constantly shifting sands,
strong tidal currents, and changeable weather allow for a prompt return to "as it was
before." That is especially true in the surf zone, exactly where the project intends to
operate.
All project excavations will be entirely temporary. All previous experience
confirms that project operations will in no way cause any noticeable or permanent
change in the configuration of the beach or the ocean bottom in the area. In any case,
prior to suspension of operations and before the departure of Polly L, noticeable
remaining craters, if any, will be back filled.

Our L,ft Dori Technologies
.,.,:., Co, ris*?_~uc' 1? of the P 7-, L began in ]anL!<^f
1999 [Keith Marine] following years of Amelia's
s research and development of lift boat
technologies for coastal shipwreck salvage.
The Polly L was launched for sea trials in the
.:?... spring of 2000, to concurrently test both the
Polly L's systems, and a huge new excavator
" designed by MacTaggart, Scott & Co. of
Scotland. In the autumn of 2000 the Polly L
was retrofitted with three feet of pontoons
for additional lateral stability, and Amelia
decided to design our own excavator system.
Since the Polly L's second launch in late 2000, the Polly L's performance
has exceeded all expectations. She was on site more than 200 days in
2001, which is unheard of in this industry.
Traditional salvage vessels have a seasonal
operating w-. ;..
thru September. Our Hit uoaL remains on Sii:e
for extended periods of time. We have no daily
commuting to and from the site, which saves
valuable recovery time.
The working platform, raised above the
ocean swells, provides stable, comfortable
accommodations for the ship's crew,
archaeological and media consultants, and
visitors. Dive teams can begin dive
operations at sunrise and continue until
sundown, working in rotating shifts after an
excellent night of rest and relaxation within
the fully equipped galley and staterooms.
The Polly L's on board systems set a new standard fo_r_ t_he__indus_try__ A ten
ton crane on the bow has more than adequate;
lifting capacity for deeply lodged and heavy;
objects. We can concurrently deploy thej
excavator, and dredge through a sluice box,
24 hours a day. Our on board facilities for;
preservation of recoveries are a first in this!
industry. Extensive use of hydraulics results;
in huge savings in fuel consumption. The!
Polly L burns 100 to 150 gallons of fuel in a;
24 hour day, compared to the voracious 50 to
80 gallons an hour appetite of conventional salvage vessels. For more in-
depth information about our lift boat technologies, click [here].
