8. PROJECT SUMMARY: Applicant proposes to maintenance excavate the _
Rodanthe Harbor and 1.7 miles of the Chicamacomico Channel to a width
of 100 ft and depth of 9 f
NC DOT Ferry Division
Bio Report
Page 2
Site Description
The Ferry Division of NC Department of Transportation is
proposing to maintenance excavate 1.7 miles of the Chicamacomico
Channel and Rodanthe Harbor as part of a contingency plan to
provide emergency ferry service between Hatteras Island and Bodie
Island. From nautical charts the existing water depths range from
-6 to -8 ft. near channel marker 03 to -4 to -6 ft. near the
mouth of Rodanthe Harbor. 1984 aerial photos (143-404) show
areas of submerged aquatics near the approach channel into the
harbor. This photo also shows a large basin extending south
along the shoreline from the approach channel. The 1989 aerial
photos (5-203-9) also show some submerged aquatics near the
approach channel, but the basin extending south from the approach
channel has filled in.
Rodanthe Harbor is currently used mostly by local commercial
fishermen. Three small fishhouses are located along the harbor's
east side. A wooden bulkhead extends along most of the eastern
shoreline. The rest of the harbor shoreline is characterized by
a typical coastal marsh fringe of salt marsh cordgrass (5j tina
alterniflora) grading into black needlerush (Juncus roemerianus).
Water depths in the harbor range from -3 to -4 ft. near the edges
and -8 to -9 ft. in the center and into the basin on the east
side.
The 80-' x 400' spoil containment site is located on a old
spoil site to the south of the harbor. The area is characterized
by various dune grasses and cactus surrounded by a shrub area of
wax myrtle (MVrica cerifera) and red cedar (Juniperus
virginiana). The property around the harbor, including the
dredge spoil site, is owned by Wilbert A. O'Neal of Rodanthe.
The applicant proposes to excavate 1.7 mile of the
Chicamacomico Channel to a width of 100 ft. and depth of 9 ft.
and to maintenance excavate a 230 ft. x 250 ft. area of the
Rodanthe Harbor to -9 ft. Excavation will be done by hydraulic
dredge with the spoil pumped to a 80 ft. x 400 ft. diked area
south of the harbor. At present, the applicant wishes to remove
approximately 1600 cubic yards of material from the mouth of the
harbor. As noted in the applicant's cover letter, future
maintenance excavation may call for the removal of up to 10,000
cubic yards of material.

Anticipated Impacts
The excavation of the channel and harbor will impact 964,595
sq. ft. of existing channel bottom. The dredging will result in
a localized increase in water turbidity. Due to the large scale
of the proposed project, care will need to be taken in setting
moratorium dates to lessen the impacts on fisheries resources.
Construction of the dredge spoil site will impact less than an
acre of upland dune habitat.
CAMA Review
This project is consistent with the transition
classification of the Dare County Land Use Plan.
