FROM: Maria T. Dunn, Coastal Coordinator

DATE: May 26, 2020
SUBJECT: CAMA Dredge/Fill permit Application for Lee and Madge Williams / Williams
Landing Enterprises, LLC, Hyde County, North Carolina.
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) reviewed the permit
application with regard to impacts on fish and wildlife resources. The project site is located at 275
Landing Road adjacent a manmade canal off Fodrey Creek in Swanquarter, NC. Our comments are
provided in accordance with provisions of the Coastal Area Management Act (G. S. I I3A-100 through
113A-128), as amended, Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act, as aYnended, and the Fish and
Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.).
The applicant proposes to establish a marine service business on a previously disturbed site, a 12.57-acre
parcel that includes a large peninsula with coastal wetlands and manmade canals around the perimeter of
the property with water depths between -3.5' to -7' NWL. The current proposal includes a 1,885' by 6'
pier/boardwalk to create 31 slips, 700 ft2 of canal bottom excavation, excavation of a 60' by 25' upland
basin stabilized by a 172' steel sheetpile bulkhead to create a travel lift access, and a 70' by 28' concrete
washdown pad with raised apron and collection basin. The 31 slips will be 50' in length and begin along
the peninsula near the boat ramp, snaking along the waterward edge of the property toward the Town of
Swanquarter_ The travel lift, basin, and wash down are located opposite the main canal, facing Fodrey
Creek. The wash down area would receive power washing, grit blasting, and painting waste. The wash
basin will slope to a centrally located drain to collect wastewater that will be treated offsite by the
Swanquarter Sanitary District. All spoils from the upland and canal excavation would be disposed onsite
in a 120' by 60' wide location. Impervious surface percentages are likely to increase, though stormwater
treatment information was not detailed in the application. Fodrey Creek and its associated canals are
classified SA ORW by the Environmental Management Commission, are designated Primary Nursery

Area (PNA) by the NC Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF), are closed to shellfish harvesting, and are
subject to the NC Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) Tar -Pamlico Basin Buffer Rules_
Staff with the NCWRC have reviewed the current proposal and have also reviewed and commented on
previous development proposals for this property in 2007, 2008, and 2010 (Dunn 21 November 2007).
These proposals as well as a January 23, 2020 scoping meeting have provided great familiarity with the
project area. During the 2020 scoping meeting, a design proposal was submitted that included slips along
the length of the peninsula. NCWRC raised concern regarding this proposal during the 2007 review of the
project as well as during the current iteration. The peninsula exhibits coastal wetlands along the back side
of the property. The development of slips along the peninsula would likely impact these habitats as well
as the NCDWR Tam -Pamlico buffer. Both of these habitats provide important water quality functions and
habitat opportunities to the adjacent PNA waters; therefore, impacts should be minimized to the greatest
extent practicable. Recommendations by the NCWRC presented during both scoping meetings included
the relocation of slips to areas previously impacted, further into the canal system and off the peninsula.
This not only limits disturbance along the shoreline, NCDWR buffers, and coastal wetlands, but reduces
congestion in the canal that provides access to the facility. These recommendations were incorporated
into the design and presented by the applicant in this submittal.
The NCWRC appreciates the applicant's incorporation of design recommendations in the project
proposal. To further minimize impacts to wildlife and aquatic resources, we recommend the following:
• Information within the permit application stated wastewater generated from the facility would be
sent to the Swanquarter Sanitary District. The acceptance of this waste should not be reason for
Swanquarter Sanitary District to request an expansion of their facility nor should it change or
compromise their ability to stay compliant with their permit requirements.
• The plans show Slips 1-4 located on the peninsula near an upland area. It is unclear if vegetation
removal is necessary for the establishment of these slips, particularly Slip 1 and 2. Consideration
should be given to removal of the end slip(s) to insure impacts to the NCDWR buffer do not
occur initially and that encroachment does not occur into the buffers or wetlands over time.
• Wetland areas should be clearly marked during construction and remain undisturbed throughout
the duration of the facility's operation.
• Any initial or maintenance excavation events as well as in -water construction should adhere to an
April 1— September 30 moratorium to minimize disturbance to PNA habitats.
• It is recommended the facility consider "No Wake' operations through the entirety of the canal
system to minimize shoreline erosion and navigation congestion.
