MEMORANDUM
TO: George Matt(h?'i??s
FROM: John Dorne?-!?
RE: Modification of Po Cape Fear Mitigation Plan
The planned modification of the above mentioned plan as
described in Robert Needham's letter to Bob Stroud on 4 June 1991
is acceptable to the Division of Environmental Management since
it poses no significant water quality issues.
I believe that an additional individual 401 Certification
would not be necessary since there would be no significant impact
of this change. If the Division of Coastal management needs a
modification of the 401 which is signed by (for) our Director,
please notify Ron Ferrell since I will be on vacation until July
25.

Revised Mitigation Plan for Port Cape Fear (21 Jan 1991)
Port Cape Fear needs to be enlarged and deepened in order to accomodate larger
boats in need of repair and maintenance. A permit for deepening the existing basin has
already been approved, but additional approval is needed for the enlargement of the
southeastern portion of the basin. This enlargement will take place primarily in uplands
except for a narrow fringe of marsh along the edge of the basin and around the upland
pennisula on the west side of the entrance channel. This fringe is dominanted primarily by
smooth cordgrass ( in alterniflora). A few other species are intermixed in some places.
These other species include: common reed (Phragnites ausLrwhia), salt meadow cordgrass
