PUBLIC NOTICE
Slash Creek, LLC, C/O Mr. John W. Dixon, Post Office Box 1327, Nags H ad, North
Carolina, 27959, telephone [phone], has applied for a Department oft a Army (DA)
permit TO DEVELOP A 46 -SLIP PRIVATE MARINA AND RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM
COMPLEX, INCLUDING CONSTRUCTION OF A BULKLHEAD, ONSIT WASTEWATER
TREATMENT FACILITY, PARKING AREA, SWIMMING POOL, CLUBH USE, AND
WALKWAYS, on property located on the east side of the intersection of N.C. ighway 12 and
State Road 1241, adjacent to Slash Creek and the Pamlico Sound, in Hatteras illage, Dare
County, North Carolina.
The following description of the project site is taken from data provided by he applicant and
from observations made during onsite inspections by representatives of the Co s of Engineers.
The project is located in Hatteras Village and consists of a 4.91-acre tract of 1 Ilanning between N.C.
Highway 12 and the Pamlico Sound. The existing elevation on the tract is appimately 3 feet
above mean sea level and is zoned as General Commercial by the Dare CountOffice.
The tract has been maintained in predominately yard grasses and mature live trees for many
years, but has recently been cleared for site preparation related to the proposeevelopment.
Wetland areas on and adjacent to the tract consist of high quality coastal marsh rimarily
vegetated with salt meadow grass, bulrush, black needlerush, big cordgrass, an salt marsh grass.
There is an existing, man-made boat basin on the property that provides boat access to Slash
Creek and the Pamlico Sound. Water depths in the basin range from 1.5 feet to feet below the
normal water level. The water depths in Slash Creek range from 1-foot to 3.5 fe t below the
normal water level. The existing boat basin has been maintenance dredged in th past and has
been primarily used for small fishing boat access. Slash Creek has not been previously dredged.
The North Carolina Division of Water Quality has designated the waters of Slas Creek and the
Pamlico Sound in the project area as SA Waters, but this area is closed to com ercial shellfish
harvesting due to elevated fecal coliform levels. The only man-made feature on he tract at this
time is a 571- foot long bulkhead located within the existing boat basin.

Habitat types within Slash Creek and the Pamlico Sound include estuarine emergent wetlands,
intertidal flats, and estuarine water column. According to sampling records compiled by the
North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries, approximately 21 species of finfish, three species
of shrimp and blue crab can be found in this area. Sampling in this area also revealed scattered
clams and oysters. The application does not include dredging of Slash Creek or the Pamlico
Sound to facilitate access to the marina. The applicant states that the project has been designed
to reduce impacts to aquatic organisms.
The applicant proposes to develop a 46-slip, private marina and residential condominium
complex. The marina development includes the construction of 259 linear feet of bulkhead on
the northwest side of the property at the approximate normal water line. The bulkhead will be
backfilled with clean sand from an off-site source. Approximately 25 square feet of coastal
wetland vegetation will be impacted by the bulkhead construction. The applicant does not
propose compensatory mitigation at this time.
The 46-slip marina has been divided into three separate mooring areas. Thirty-eight slips will
be located on the east side of the property and will be approximately eleven feet in width from
piling to piling. The waterward end of the mooring pilings will be located twenty-two feet from
the edge of the bulkhead. The remaining eight slips will be located on the north side of the
property and will be developed as parallel slips. These slips will be thirty feet from piling edge
to edge. There will be no mooring pilings associated with these slips. Boats utilizing this marina
will range from approximately 17 feet to 25 feet in length. A 6-foot wide slotted wood dock is
proposed to be constructed along the entire landward side of the bulkhead around the entire
marina development. The project will include 39 finger piers and 79 mooring pilings located
within the existing basin.
The upland development involves the construction of five condominium buildings which will
include forty-five separate multifamily residential units. These units will have associated parking
and site development, including a clubhouse, swimming pool, stormwater retention pond,
landscape retaining walls and a wastewater treatment facility. This work will result in
approximately 4 acres of land disturbance and create 65,200 square feet of impervious surface.
Plans showing the proposed project are included with this public notice.
The applicant has determined that the proposed work is consistent with the North Carolina
Coastal Zone Management Plan and has submitted this determination to the North Carolina
Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM) for their review and concurrence. This proposal
shall be reviewed for the applicability of other actions by North Carolina agencies such as:

i
-4--

a. The issuance of a Water Quality Certification under Section 401 of the Clean
Water Act by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ).
b. The issuance of a permit to dredge and/or fill under North Carolina
Statute 113-229 by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NC
c. The issuance of a permit under the North Carolina Coastal Area Management Act
(CAMA) by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM) or their delegates.
d. The issuance of an easement to fill or otherwise occupy State-Owne submerged land
under North Carolina General Statute 143-341(4), 146-6, 146-11, and 146-12 by the North
Carolina Department of Administration (NCDA) and the North Carolina Co cil of State.
e. The approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation control Plan by the L d Quality
Section, North Carolina Division of Land Resources (NCDLR), pursuant to a State
Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (NC G.S. 113 a-50-66).
The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine the need for the
applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No Department of the y (DA) permit
will be issued until the coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal has been r ceived and
reviewed by this agency, nor will a DA permit be issued until the North Caroli a Division of
Water Quality (NCDWQ) has determined the applicability of a Water Quality ertifcate as
required by PL 92-500.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean ater
Act (33 U.S.C. 1344) and Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 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 heart g 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 properti s 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 co stitutes the extent
of cultural resource investigations by the District Engineer, and he is otherwise aware of the
presence of such resources. Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehi toric, or
historical data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit. i

-4-
Based upon available information, the District Engineer is aware that the proposed activity
may affect species designated as endangered or threatened pursuant to the Endangered Species
Act of 1973. These species include the manatee and the loggerhead sea turtle. The applicant is
currently developing a response to these concerns.
Based upon available information, the District Engineer has determined that the proposed
action may adversely impact Essential Fish Habitat or associated fisheries managed by the South
Atlantic or Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Councils or the National Marine Fisheries Service
(50 CFR Part 600). These resources include habitat and postlarvae/juvenile and subadult species
of brown and white shrimp, red drum, summer flounder, spotted seatrout, Atlantic croaker, spot,
Atlantic menhaden, and striped mullet. The applicant is currently developing a response to these
concerns.
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 which the proposed activity. may have on the public interest
requires a careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular case.
The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced
against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The decision whether to authorize a proposal, and
if so the conditions under which it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the
outcome of the general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern for
both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which may be relevant to the
proposal must be considered including the cumulative effects thereof. Among those are
conservation, economics, aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values,
fish and wildlife values, flood hazards and flood plain values (in accordance with 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 by such permit would not comply
with the Environmental Protection Agencies' 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 determines 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 in order to consider and evaluate
the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of
Engineers to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal.
-5-
To make this decision, continents are used to assess impacts on endangered
properties, water quality, general environmental effects and the other public
above. Comments are used in the preparation of an Environmental Assessrr
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National Environme
(NEPA). Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearin
the overall public interest of the proposed activity.
Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army (D,
be made until the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) issu
State certification required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The NC'
whether or not the proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 30
Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the Department
permit serves as application to the NCDWQ for certification.

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT Page 2
PROJECT SETTING
The project site is located between NC 12 and the waters and adjacent wetlands of Slash Creek. The site is
directly adjacent to the Norfolk Carolina Telephone and Telegraph station along NC 12 in the Village of Hatteras,
on Hatteras Island in Dare County. The existing site consists of a predominately upland area of approximately 6
acres, of which approximately three-quarters of an acre are waters. The permit applicant previously made
application on January 7, 2003; however, due to the proposed dredging of Slash Creek and associated
condominium and marina impacts, it was determined that the project would first require that the appropriate
conditions of the State Environmental Policy Act be met. Therefore, the application review was placed on hold
until the review requirements of this Act were met. An EA/FONSI statement was issued on July 25, 2003. The
Elizabeth City Division of Coastal Management Office received a revised application on July 31, 2003; however,
a complete application was not received until August 7, 2003.
The existing site elevation is approximately 3-ft above the NWL. The vast majority of the site is considered to be
an `upland' area and has been maintained in predominately yard grasses and live oaks for many years. The site is
almost triangular in shape with two man-made basins that are connected to Slash Creek by a narrow channel near
the northeast corner of the property. These basins were previously excavated from wetlands, and the spoil was
used to elevate the project site and adjacent vicinity areas. The shoreline area of the larger basin has been
stabilized with approximately 570-1f of wooden bulkhead. This bulkhead was authorized in 1995 by CAMA Major
Permit No. 117-95, under the property owner and permittee, Desmond R. Foster, Jr. This tract has since then
been sold to the current applicant, and is commonly referred to as `The Slash Condominium Project'.
The site was recently cleared (during the winter of 2003) and filled for site preparation related to the proposed
development. Some of this work was undertaken within the Estuarine Shoreline Area of Environmental Concern,
prior to the issuance of any CAMA permits, and the property owner, Slash, LLC, was cited for a violation of the
permit requirements of the Coastal Area Management Act. As part of the requested site restoration, the property
owner installed a siltation barrier around the entire disturbed portion of the site. Since the upland fill work that
was undertaken could have been permitted, the remaining fill was allowed to remain onsite, with the stipulation
that the siltation barrier will be maintained and no additional on-site development would occur within any CAMA-
AEC until the proper permits have been issued.
Those land areas that are immediately adjacent to the above referenced waters that are not bulkheaded, do have
some minor clumps of existing coastal wetland species along the NWL (about 25-sf). The adjacent properties and
those areas along the southwestern vicinity of the existing bulkhead alignment are vegetated with more significant
areas of coastal marsh vegetation, including salt meadow grass (Spartina patens), bulrush (Scirpus spp.), black
needlerush (Juncus roemerianus), big cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora), and salt marsh grass (Distichlis spicata).
Extensive coastal marsh areas are located along the adjacent property-owners' shorelines, across these basins to
the north and east, and in addition to the species listed above, also include sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense), as
well as many other wetland plants. Other wetland areas also exist along the common property line to the south.
Desmond (Buddy) R. Foster, Jr. and Faye Foster are the adjacent riparian property owners to the north of the
proposal site. This adjacent property's shoreline is not stabilized with any hardened structures and this adjacent
property appears to include most of the basin that is located along the northwest side of the applicant's tract. This
basin ranges between 40 and 70-ft in width and is approximately 300-ft in length. The water depths within this
basin area (which is referred to as Mooring Area 3 in the Environmental Assessment Document) range between 1-
ft and 3-ft at NWL. Platwork that has accompanied the Environmental Assessment (EA) document and the
CAMA permit application indicate that a 4-ft water depth contour exists off the north point of the property.

According to the referenced platwork, most of this smaller basin appears to be mo?e closely associated with the
Foster property than the applicant's property, as this platwork indicates that only a 10 to 12 ft alignment portion
off shore conveys to the Slash, LLC tract. The water depths of this area appear to b between a depth of 1-ft and
1.5-ft at NWL.
The water depths of the larger basin range between 3.5 and 5-ft below the NWL. This basin is an average of
100-ft in width. A small narrow access channel connects the two basins to Slash C ek. At its narrowest point,
the channel is only 30-ft wide, and the water depths at NWL are between 1.5 and .5-ft.
Melva Basnight and Thomas Basnight, Jr. are the adjacent riparian property owne s to the east of the proposal
site. This property borders the basin along the eastern property line and is also not tabilized with any hardened
structures. This property includes the extensive coastal marsh area described abov . Although not an adjacent
riparian neighbor, North Carolina Telephone & Telegraph (as indicated on the app ication platwork) owns the
property between the Basnight parcel and NC 12.

Additional bulkhead shoreline stabilization is proposed for the 260-ft remaining portio of the smaller basin that
has not been bulkheaded previously. The alignment will approximate the NWL ith a maximum of 2-ft
waterward of the NWL. This alignment will result in the placement of approximately 0-cy of fill material below
the NWL.
The proposed marina development includes the creation of 46-boat slips, and the ass ciated construction of a
boardwalk, finger piers and mooring piles for these boat slips. This work will in lude 787-1f of 6-ft wide
boardwalk aligned along both basin shorelines, landward of the NWL, after bulkhea construction. However,
approximately 700-sf of this boardwalk will be landward of the existing bulkhead alig ent along the southwest
portion of the larger basin, and will shade the existing coastal wetland fringe in this location. The proposed
development of the larger basin will include 39-finger piers, each 8-ft long by 2-ft wide. This mooring field will
include 79-mooring piles, each situated approximately 25-ft off the bulkhead alignm nt. This portion of the
proposed marina development will provide mooring for 38-boats, of the intended max' um boat length of 25-ft.
The Slash Condominiums, LLC, Dare County
FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT Page 4
The remaining 8-proposed slips will be situated along the shoreline of the smaller basin located along the
northwest corner of the property. These slips will be situated parallel to the shoreline (bulkhead), and no mooring
piles, or finger piers are proposed for this basin. No dredging is proposed for either basin, or any portion of the
waterway associated with this project.
The proposed 5-condominium buildings will include 45-separate residential units, and the associated parking and
site development, including a pool, stormwater retention pond, landscape retaining walls, and a wastewater
treatment facility. This development will result in approximately 4 acres of land disturbance and 65,200-sf of
impervious surface.
ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The proposed site is located in Hatteras Village, on Hatteras Island. This portion of Hatteras Island is known to
have a rich history of cultural resources. An inspection of available cultural resource mapping data reveals
archaeological or cultural resources have been previously identified near this site by the Division of Archives and
History. It is important to note these maps have not been updated in at least 10 years, and there may be other
cultural resources onsite.
The proposed condominium structures will be constructed landward of the 30-ft Coastal Shoreline Buffer;
however, significant portions of these structures will be located within the Estuarine Shoreline AEC, 15,700-sf,
or approximately 29 percent of the Estuarine Shoreline AEC. This development will include the placement of
retaining walls between all upland development and the adjacent wetland or buffer areas, which should restrict the
discharge of some site runoff into adjacent wetlands and buffer areas.
The proposed bulkhead alignment will result in the filling of 520-sf of Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area, as
well as the filling of a small area (about 25-sf) of coastal wetland vegetation near the landward end of the smaller
basin. The proposed boardwalk, finger piers and associated mooring piles should not infringe upon any riparian
or adjacent riparian access in the larger basin.
As referenced previously, the smaller basin is adjacent to riparian property, owned by Desmond Foster. The
Foster's have expressed concern about possible encroachments and navigation interference that this proposal may
have on their riparian area. According to submitted platwork. The applicants' property along this basin area
extends about 10-ft beyond the NWL.
The proposed marina development will not result in any planned dredging excavation. However, at least two
impacts can be expected from anticipated shallow water bottom disturbance. As referenced, water depths in the
smaller basin, where boat mooring is proposed, range between 1 and 1.5-ft. The use of this area by boats, even
small flat-bottom bass and johnboats, will likely result in prop wash and sediment kicking. The use of this basin
for mooring in areas where the depths are insufficient enough to allow boat use without these side effects would
induce significant turbidity during each mooring and unmooring operation. The small channel that connects these
basins with Slash Creek is also shallow and not conducive to use by boats that will require 2 to 3-ft of water. The
use of this channel in its current state by 25-ft long boats may result in the above referenced prop wash and
kicking of water bottom sediments, and the resulting turbidity during passage of each vessel into and out of these
basins.
It can also be anticipated that the use of these basins by 46-boats will result in an undetermined degree of water
quality degradation from increased turbidity, additional oil and grease loadings, and other substances, including
The Slash Condominiums, LLC, Dare County
FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT
Page 5
paint leachates and unregulated sanitary wastewater that can be attributed to use by these vessels. The proposed
adjacent impervious surfaces that will be associated with the planned condominiums ay also result in increased
BOD and heavy metal loadings typically associated with runoff from parking areas, r oftops and urban land-use
type areas. Bio-accumulation and Bio-magnification of toxins within the species t t use these basins and the
waters of Slash Creek may be anticipated.
The original project proposed dredging of significant portions of Slash Creek and a smaller basin associated
with this development. During the SEPA review process, the possible impacts that cou d be anticipated from these
activities were determined to present significant concerns to the coastal resources o the surrounding estuarine
area. In order to reduce these impacts so that the project could likely be issued FONSI (Finding of No
Significant Impact) by the N C Department of Environment and Natural Resource , all proposed overboard
dredging was deleted from the planned scope of the project.
It is still anticipated that water bottom disturbance can be expected from the associatedl, use of a marina facility of
this size with associated increases in turbidity on a nearly continuing basis. It is also anticipated that wetland
fringes adjacent to channel and basin areas will experience erosion disturbance from oating activities, and that
navigation congestion will be a concern not only within the existing basins, but also wi hin the narrow channel of
Slash Creek. i
Cumulative impacts that would result from a project of this size should also be consid red. Most of the channel
and shoreline areas of Slash Creek are shallow and vegetated with lush expanses of coastal wetlands and provide
significant areas of habitat for coastal resources.
During the previous review of this projects' EA, this office conducted a detailed in estigation of the current
public trust use of the Slash Creek. The principle area of navigation of Slash Creek con titutes approximately 2.5
miles, and extends from the creeks intersection of NC 12 to it's junction to the north ith the Pamlico Sound.
Nearly all upland sites along this waterbody have existing homes that have piers and oat slips. Most of these
boats are limited draft type vessels and constitute a limited impact upon the waterway system.
The proposed project will provide boat slips for additional vessels. Based on upon the a timate of a maximum of
30 boats currently navigating the Slash Creek, this proposal may result in a 150% in rease in navigation use.
This office has been aware of this project for over 2 years. This office routinely, vi its the vicinity of Slash
Creek to conduct other Division business. During this time frame, I have never witne sed more than 3 vessels
navigating the waterway at the same time. That said, the above estimated increase in se may be significantly
understated.
Given the current trend of growth and development on or near these environme tally fragile areas, the
development of a marina to accompany a condominium complex of the size proposed result in significant
impacts to coastal and cultural resources. This project may also set a precedent of ill size that will instigate
significant increases in cumulative impacts associated with other future development affecting not only the
estuarine environment, but also associated aesthetic values of a small barrier island village's heritage and
character that many residents of this island depend upon for their livelihood.

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT Page 6
During the review of this project, our staff has received and responded to numerous calls, letters, and concerns
related to the size of this project. As stated above, it is anticipated that the proposed condominium development
will present significant impacts to the `small village' cultural character and integrity of Hatteras Village as it
currently exists.

PROJECT NARRATIVE (July 2003)
Existing Conditions
As required by North Carolina Department of the Environment and Natural Resources CDENR),
Division of Coastal Management (DCM), a Major CAMA Permit Application has bee prepared for
submission. A Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) has been received for this p ject following
preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) in compliance with the North Carol na State
Environmental Protection Act (SEPA). This document addressed the environmental c racteristics and
potential impacts to existing conditions in relation to construction of a marina and con ominium facility in
existing boat basins along a tributary of Pamlico Sound known as Slash Creek. The su ject property lies
at approximately 35°13'00" N Latitude and 78°41'13" W Longitude on the east side of t e intersection of
Monitor Trail (NC 12) and Eagle Pass (SR 1241) in Hatteras Village, Dare County, No h Carolina. The
deeded acreage is approximately 5.77 AC, but current land area totals approximately 4. 1 acres according
to a recent survey. The property has approximately 146 ft of frontage along NC 12. Th re is also marine
access to the property from Slash Creek, a navigable water tributary of Pamlico Sound is a man-made
basin.
As seen on Sheet 1, Plan View Plat of the Subject Property, there are currently two co ected boat basins
located on the north and east side of the property. The larger embayment (east side oft the property) is
lined with 571 LF of existing protective bulkhead. This bulkhead is the only man made feature currently
existing on the tract. The existing mean elevation on the tract is approximately 3' above Normal Water
Level (NWL). The property is currently zoned C-2 (General Commercial) by Dare Cou ty and is
considered Transitional by the CAMA Land Use Plan.
Proposed Work
Proposed construction on the subject property includes a residential condominium comp ex that will
involve development within the 75 ft Area of Environmental Concern (AEC) and a priva a marina. Sheet
2 is an overview of the subject area with an approximate existing boat channel alignmen along Slash
Creek. Water depths depicted on Sheet 2 were recorded on January 9, 2002 by enviro ental scientists
from Quible & Associates, P.C. using a measuring rod. It is estimated that the water lev 1 on that day was
approximately 6" below NWL. There are plans to mark the position of this channel ali ent with PVC
markers at a 30 ft width. The markers will be installed along the channel at 200 ft spacin s except for the
area in the vicinity of the boat basin where there is a sharp tum-out. There will be additi nal markers in
this area to avoid navigation error. The channel is aligned along the deepest areas of the reek. Marking
the boat channel will help to confine boat traffic to a specific path. This attempts to redu a impacts to
shallow habitat and allows boats to pass safely. Since boats that are not associated with t e subject
project currently utilize Slash Creek, increased boat traffic is anticipated to have only a n gligible or
minor impact to fisheries once the channel alignment is marked. There is no dredging pr posed.
Prior to construction of the proposed condominium complex, a total of approximately 20, 00 cu yds of
sandy fill material will have been brought to the subject site for preconstruction grading. Proposed
grading elevations are indicated on the soil erosion and sedimentation control plan (SECP approved by
NCDENR, Land Quality Section on June 26,2002.
The condominium complex consists of five multifamily dwellings (45 units) with associated amenities
I

including an onsite wastewater treatment facility, parking, pool, clubhouse and walkways. Impervious
surfaces located within the 75' AEC include building coverage, parking areas and concrete walkways.
There are also slotted wood walkways located within the AEC, but this surface is considered pervious.
The parking areas are proposed to be constructed of gravel as depicted on the site plan, but are considered
impervious for the purpose of the CAMA coverage calculations. Total area within the AEC is 53,830 SF.
Impervious coverage within the AEC is 15,732 SF (29.2°/x).
Marina development includes the construction of 259 linear feet (LF) of bulkhead on the northwest side of
the property at approximately NWL. This bulkhead construction is in a straight line along NWL and does
not exceed 2 ft waterward of NWL. The bulkhead will be backfilled with approximately 58 cu yds of
clean sandy material from an off-site source. As shown on Sheet 1, the marina development has been
divided into three mooring areas. There are 46 total proposed slips. Slips 1 to 38 on the east side of the
property are 11 feet in width from piling to piling. The waterward mooring pilings proposed at 22 ft
from the edge of the bulkhead. These plans meet DCM Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) marina
regulations in dimension and area. Slips 39 to 46 are proposed to be located on the north side of the
property as side-to slips. These slips are proposed to be 30 ft long with no mooring pilings proposed in
the water. Boats utilizing this marina will range from approximately 17 ft to 25 ft in length. As shown on
the Site Plan, a 6 ft wide slotted wood dock is proposed to be constructed along the entire landward side
of the bulkhead (787 LF) around the entire marina development.
Approximately 25 SF of wetlands will be disturbed in association with bulkhead construction. This is a
thin intermittent fringe without an appreciable interconnected wetland area. The more substantial wetland
fringe on the south side of the existing boat basin will be partially shaded with an elevated dock, but
project plans have been designed for preservation. There will be approximately 729 SF of wetland
shading associated with the proposed project.
The proposed marina will not provide no fueling or boat maintenance services. There will be no live
aboard or heads allowed on boats utilizing the marina. There are a number of marinas in Hatteras Village
that provide fueling services and it is anticipated that most of the boats will-use-those services rather than
hand carry fuel to the vessel. As with all marina operations there is the potential for releases of petroleum
products associated with mechanical failures, bilge discharges and fueling of vessels by hand within the
marina. The following is Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures Plan to be followed by boat
owners within the marina in case of a spill or release of hazardous materials. First, a Contact List will be
posted in proximity to the marina. The posted list will include:
1. Local Fire Department 911
2. Dare County Local Emergency Planning or Haz-Mat Response Team 252-473-3355
3. State Division of Environmental Management 252-946-6481
Boat owners will be advised to call one, or all, of these numbers as required if a release of
hazardous materials occurs. Also provided on-site will be a spill kit that can be used by boat
owners within the marina to provide immediate remediation in case of a spill or release.
The kit will include:
1 pack of No.8Q42933 - 8"x18' long booms ten pack
1 pack of No 8Q-4004 - sorbent pillows ten pack
