SUBJECT: Beaufort County Community College Stormwater Wetland, Beaufort County
DATE: May 6, 2020
A North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) Fisheries Resource Specialist has
reviewed the NC Division of Water Resources application for proposed actions that may
impact fish and fish habitats. The proposed project, ID number 20200507, is located at
5337 US-264, Washington, within Beaufort County. The closest waterway to the proposed
project is Broad Creek, of the Tar -Pamlico River Basin. If any in -water work in Broad Creek
is necessary, DMF recommends avoiding completion of this work during the February 15
through June 30 moratorium period, due to the presence of anadromous fish spawning
area (AFSA) in the river. Please contact James Harrison at james.harrisonpncdenr.gov or
252-948-3835. Thankyou for consideration of our comments.
