NC Division of Mitigation Services
Pamlico Sound Oyster Mitigation Site
Hyde County
Project Setting
The North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services has been allotted fund by the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers to design and build an artificial oyster sanctuary in the Pamlico Sound.
The sanctuary will serve as mitigation for the habitat impacts associated with the deepening of
Wanchese Harbor as part of the Shallowbag Bay navigation project.
The 42-acre mitigation site is located in the open waters of the Pamlico Sound
approximately 3 miles south of Long Point in Hyde County on Gull Shoal. The 42-acre site is
divided into two sub -sites 10 acres and 32 acres respectively separated by approximately 500
feet. The water depths in the location of the artificial reefs structures range from 12 to 15 deep
and the bottom composition is comprised of sand and other soft sediment.
The waters of the Pamlico Sound at the project site are classified SA-HQW by the
Environmental Management Commission. The Marine Fisheries Commission classifies the area
as a Secondary Nursery Area and the area is open to the harvest of shellfish.
Proiect Description
The NCDMS proposes to create a 42-acre oyster sanctuary in the Pamlico Sound
approximately 3 miles south of Long Point. The project will consist of two main areas along Gull
Shoal 10-acres and 32-acres respectively. The artificial reef design will consist of 60 individual
structures constructed of class A and class 1 granite rip rap. Each structure will be 150' long x
28' wide and have a trapezoidal cross-section with a maximum height of 5 feet. All structures
follow design criteria used by the NC Division of Marine Fisheries for artificial reef/oyster
sanctuaries with methodology approved by multiply state and federal agencies as laid out in the
provided Environmental Assessment. Materials for the artificial reef will be staged at 114 Hill
Street in Engelhard, NC on a parcel that is owned by the Wanchese Seafood Industrial Park.
Anticipated Impacts
The project as proposed would create a new oyster sanctuary encompassing 42-acres of
Pamlico Sound bottom of which 252,OOOft2 (5.5-acres) are proposed to be filled with granite rip -
rap. The project would result conversion of soft bottom habitat to hard bottom habitat and
localized temporary turbidity during construction. The project, if successful should result in
additional shellfish habitat and hard bottom habitat for finfrsh in the Pamlico Sound.

Pamlico Sound Oyster Sanctuary Mitigation Site
CAMA Permit Narrative
Project Purpose, Need, and Scope
The North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) has been allotted funds by the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers (USACE) to design and build an artificial oyster sanctuary in Pamlico Sound, North Carolina.
The sanctuary is intended to satisfy mitigation requirements for habitat impacts associated with the
deepening of Wanchese Harbor, a component of the Manteo (Shallowbag) Bay, North Carolina navigation
project. It will provide 17 hectares (42 acres) of oyster habitat.
The project consists of creating a new, subtidal oyster sanctuary located in the open waters of the Pamlico
Sound approximately 4.8 kilometers (3 miles) due south of Long Point in Hyde County (Figure 1). The
location is near a significant shoal formation called Gull Shoal. One new sanctuary site is proposed with
two subareas: one that is approximately 4 hectares (10 acres) in size and the other totaling 13 hectares (32
acres). The two subareas are separated by approximately 152.4 meters (500 feet). The permitting area for
the project surrounds the two subareas and is approximately 65 hectares (161.8 acres) in size.
Figure 1. Location map for Pamlico Sound Oyster Reef
The design calls for 60 individual reef structures that are trapezoidal in shape with dimensions of 45.7
meters by 8.5 meters (150 feet by 28 feet) and totaling 2.23 hectares (5.5 acres) of footprint. Each structure
includes a 0.3-meter (I -foot) bedding stone layer of NC Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Class A
rip rap (granite) placed on the sound floor to minimize settlement. Layered on top of the bedding stone is

1.2 meters (4 feet) of NCDOT Class 1 rip rap or a maximum height of 1.5 meters (5 feet). Individual
structures are separated by 23 meters (75 feet). See design plans for additional details (Attachment A).
Currently there are soft bottom sediments at the site. This habitat will be replaced by 2.23 hectares (5.5
acres) of oyster reef based on reef structure footprint. There are no hard bottom, submerged aquatic
vegetation (SAV), oyster reef, primary nursery areas (PNAs), wetlands, or other benthic habitat at the site.
The primary purpose and need of the project (i.e., the Preferred Alternative) is to construct a 17-hectare
(42-acre) artificial oyster sanctuary to serve as Estuarine Subtidal-Mollusk habitat mitigation for wetland
impacts stemming from the dredging of Wanchese Harbor. In addition, the project will address oyster
population decline and the lack of oyster larval supply in the Pamlico Sound, while also providing long-
term environmental benefit and ecosystem services. An environmental assessment (EA) was prepared to
support the evaluation of alternatives and analysis of potential impacts. The document is provided as an
attachment to the permit application (Attachment B).
In addition to the primary purpose of the project, the sanctuary helps to address the overall need to restore
oyster populations in the Pamlico Sound. Oyster populations have declined in North Carolina waters as a
result of overharvest, habitat destruction, disease, and pollution (DMF, 2001; Denton et al., 2010).
Restoration of eastern oysters, Crassostrea virginica, is needed in the Pamlico Sound to address this decline
given the important role of oysters for healthy estuarine ecosystem function. Some of the most important
ecosystem services include enhancing estuarine biodiversity, increasing production of fish and
invertebrates, improving water quality by filtering sediment and microalgae, and stimulating denitrification
(Dame et al., 1984; Lenihan & Peterson, 1998; Nelson et al., 2004; Newell et al., 2002; Peterson et al.,
2003; Powers et al., 2009). Oyster reefs also benefit recreational and commercial fisheries (i.e., finfish
species) and other marine species by providing habitat, refuge, and feeding opportunities (DMF, 2015).
The Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) and their partners have been developing oyster sanctuaries across
the Pamlico Sound to promote high density broodstock that provide oyster larval production and
distribution among the larger ecosystem as part of the Oyster Sanctuary Program (DMF, 2015). To date,
DMF and their partners has been involved in the development of more than 15 oyster sanctuaries, some
under development, across the Pamlico Sound region. Larval availability has been traditionally lower in the
western Pamlico Sound. DMF's long-term plan is to develop additional reef sites that would contribute to
the macro -scale larval supply in the region.
Construction Methodology
Reef Construction
Artificial oyster reef structures will be deployed using barges at least 200 feet by 50 feet. Rock material
will be placed in the water directly offthe barge with a bobcat or front-end loader in the locations designated
in the engineering plans. Excavators and long reach equipment will be available in the working area to
reposition any rock material that is misaligned.
Stockpile Site
Several potential stockpile sites were investigated in Hyde County. The focus of the search was to find state
or county -owned land that had at least 0.5 acres available and access to a navigable waterway. Out of four
potential sites investigated, the Engelhard site is being carried forward for permitting. See Figure below.

Figure 2. Stockpile site map
The Wanchese Seafood Industrial Park's address is 114 Hill Street in Engelhard. In total the property is
about 3.2 hectares (8 acres) in size, a half -acre section in the southwest corner of the property has been
identified as a suitable stockpile site. There is a paved road that goes down the middle of the property
which would allow for easy access to the site from land. The half -acre stockpile area has been placed well
outside of the 75-foot zone bordering the estuarine open water Area of Environmental Concern (AEC). Half
of the property has a building on it, which is being leased to a tenant. Use of this site should not interrupt
the daily operations for the tenant on the other side of the property. The property is situated off Far Creek
which is a United States Army Corps of Engineers maintained harbor. This suggests the site would provide
sufficient navigation depth for a barge. The widest part of Far Creek harbor is about 76 meters (250 feet),
which would not allow for a 61-meter (200-foot) long barge to turn around. The site presents waterfront
access issues with the presence of four abandoned trawlers lining the waterfront of the property. The
trawlers are made of wood and steel and are about 24 meters (80 feet) long. The waterfront of the property
is also lined with an old pier/boardwalk and pilings which would likely need to be removed by the
contractor. A letter of consent for use of the property is attached (Attachment Q.
Reef construction materials will be brought to the site in metal bins and will not be piled loosely in the
stockpile area. The metal bins will be lifted either with a crane or bobcat for placement on the barge.

Environmental Concerns
Water Quality
The placement of stone at the reef site will result in minor turbidity increases during construction. However,
this will remain localized and temporary. The proposed action will not contribute to point or non -point
sources of pollutants and will not have long-term adverse impacts on water quality. Establishment of oysters
on these constructed reefs will have positive benefits to water quality and no long-term, adverse impacts
are expected.
SAV
DMF defines SAV as rooted plants that remain submerged during all tidal fluctuations. North Carolina has
eight plant species that can be found in SAV beds. In North Carolina, SAV is usually found in waters that
are less than 2 meters (6 or 7 feet) deep due to turbidity and sunlight penetration. A review of available
SAV data from the Albemarle -Pamlico National Estuary Partnership (APNEP) at its online mapping tool
(hnp://portal.ncdenr.org/web/apnep/sav-map) indicates that the closest SAV to the project area is
approximately 6.4 kilometers (4 miles) away within Wysocking Bay.
In addition to a review of APNEP data, diver surveys were conducted by the University of North Carolina
at Wilmington (UNCW) Center for Marine Science (CMS) on March 8, 2019 and April 25, 2019. Divers
swam a total of 16 transects, all 164 feet (50 meters) long, in two different target subareas to determine
bottom habitat composition. They made note of the bottom habitat every 5 meters (about 16 feet). The
divers did not locate any SAV beds within the project area, and therefore the preferred alternative is not
expected to have any impacts on SAV habitat.
Essential Fish Habitat and Manaeed Soecies
Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) types located within the project area include Aquatic Bed (Tidal Freshwater)
and Estuarine Water Column/Creeks. Aquatic bed habitats in the project area include the soft bottom
substrate of the Pamlico Sound. This habitat type is comprised of sand as well as inorganic muds, organic
muds, and peat. Nutrients for this habitat type are typically provided by riverine sources and transported
via wind tides in addition to lunar tidal exchange. The abundance of benthic macroalgae in this habitat
supports a high diversity of invertebrates that are an important fishery food source. Although SAV are not
present within the project area, this habitat can typically support SAV populations. The estuarine water
column extends from the estuarine bottom to the surface waters and is characterized by the oligohaline
(estuarine) waters present in Pamlico Sound with seasonally variable salinity levels. Distinct zones within
the water column can be defined by parameters such as salinity, temperature, and DO. Water column
zonation continually fluctuates and is a function of tidal dynamics, season, nutrient levels, and ocean
proximity. Fish and shellfish often exploit distinct resources within the water column based on species -
specific diet, behavior, and morphology.
The Preferred Alternative would likely result in primarily short-term, localized, and temporary adverse
effects to EFH and managed species, but project design, implementation, and construction measures under
consideration would keep these impacts to a minimum, as well as reduce the possibility of any permanent,
long-term impacts. Short-term impacts would include increased turbidity, siltation, and noise from
construction activities. Most managed species found in this area though are highly mobile and would be
able to escape construction disturbance and eventually return to the area post -construction. Aquatic
substrate impacted by siltation should recover after construction, and turbidity would be limited to the
immediate construction area. The project will convert soft bottom habitat to oyster reef habitat. Over time
this will result in increased species diversity for fish. RECEIVED

CAMA Permit Narrative
NOAA/NMFS has jurisdiction over seven protected marine species that maybe found in the Pamlico Sound
and adjacent waters. These species include Atlantic sturgeon, shortnose sturgeon, Kemp's ridley sea turtle,
green turtle, leatherback turtle, loggerhead turtle, and hawksbill turtle. All seven of these species have
potential habitat within the project area for the Preferred Alternative.
There are no anticipated impacts from the Preferred Alternative on NOAA/NMFS managed species.
Moffatt & Nichol will ensure that conservation measures follow the recently approved DMF programmatic
consultation for statewide reef development (NOAA, 2019), thus there will be no adverse impacts
anticipated for NOAA/NMFS managed species. The spacing between the reef structures will allow for
adequate movement for NOAA/NMFS managed species, and any impacts resulting from construction
would likely be temporary. In addition, because this project takes place completely in -water, no USFWS-
listed species will be impacted.
Wetlands
There will be no anticipated impacts to CAMA-managed coastal wetlands at the Engelhard stockpile site,
as the work will occur entirely within upland areas. Coastal wetland absence at the site was confirmed with
GIS data as well as personal communication with Division of Coastal Management staff on December 9,
2019. The stockpile area at the Engelhard stockpile site will be placed well outside of the 75-foot boundary
from the estuarine waters AEC.
State Historic Preservation Office SHPO)
Pursuant to Section 106 and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance
with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800, the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO)
conducted a review of the proposed project and is not aware of any historic resources which would be
affected by the proposed project; therefore, the proposed project to construct an oyster reef will not
adversely impact any cultural or historic resources. A non-SHPO resource sunken vessel is located within
the reef layout area in Pamlico Sound and will need to be removed prior to reef construction. No dredging
or alterations to the substrate will occur as a result of removing the vessel.
Cumulative Impacts
Cumulative impacts will be positive since this project contributes to part of the proposed larval highway
ton increase oyster productivity throughout the Pamlico Sound in keeping with DMF goals. The reef is
expected to promote ecosystem services such as improving water quality, providing habitat for other aquatic
species, and improving opportunities for recreational fishing.
SEPA

This project is not subject to SEPA (personal communication, Lyn Hardison, 5/31/2019)
Conservation Measures
In developing the Pamlico Oyster Reef, DMS will implement the following conservation measures which
are based on measures developed by DMF, NOAA, and USACE as part of the programmatic consultation
for DMF's artificial reef program (NOAA, 2019)).
The Permittee shall follow the NMFS Sea Turtle and Smalltooth Sawfish Construction Conditions, dated
March 23, 2006, and will apply these measures to further reduce interaction risk and require all construction
workers to watch for all ESA -listed species. Operation of any mechanical construction equipment will cease
immediately if a protected species is seen within a 50-foot radius of the equipment. Deployment activities
will cease immediately if Endangered Species Act (ESA) -listed species are sighted within 50 feet of the
construction area and will not recommence until the protected species observer reports that the ESA -listed
species has left the area under its own volition.
DMS in consultation with DMF, DCM, USACE and other state and federal agencies has selected granite
rip rap (Class 1 and Class A) as the construction material. These materials meet the following guidelines:
• DMF Guidelines and Specifications for Acceptable Reef Materials, which were created using
guidance from internal studies.
• Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC)/Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission
(GSMFC) Guidelines for Marine Artificial Reef Materials.
• USEPA National Guidance: Best Management Practices (BMPs) for Preparing Vessels Intended to
Create Artificial Reefs.
• NOAA/NMFS National Artificial Reef Plan and artificial reef guidance.
In addition, DMS will adhere to the following permit conditions set forth in in the Corps' Regional General
Permit 198500194 and Programmatic General Permit 1980002911, the DMF Special Conditions, as
amended by NMFS's recommended project design criteria's (PDCs) as follows:
1. Any deployment of reef materials must comply with:
a. Maximum speed for all vessels involved in placing the reef material is 10 knots.
b. Deployments will be conducted during daylight hours when lighting, weather, and sea
conditions allow for visual monitoring of the project area.
c. Deployment: Deployment activities will not commence until the project supervisor reports
that no sea turtles, marine mammals (North Atlantic right whales have additional
restrictions listed below), or other ESA -listed species have been sighted within 91.4 meters
(300 feet) of the active deployment site (i.e., barge carrying material or moored vessel to
be scuttled) for at least 60 minutes. Deployment activities will cease immediately if sea
RECEIVED

turtles, marine mammals, or other ESA -listed species are sighted within 91.4 meters (300
feet) of the active deployment site. Deployment activities will not recommence until the
project supervisor reports that no sea turtles, marine mammals, or other ESA -listed species
have been sighted for at least 60 minutes. DMF and its designees are also required to
participate in the Right Whale Early Warning System to protect North Atlantic right
whales. If a right whale or any other species of whale is reported within the area, then the
contractor will be required to follow the enclosed NMFS's Southeast Region Vessel Strike
Avoidance Measures and Reporting for Mariners (revised February 2008) (Appendix B),
except where specific measures below are in conflict, in which case the measures in this
Opinion govern (e.g., a speed restriction to a maximum of 10 knots (kt) at all times in right
whale calving areas [i.e., federally -protected areas off the southeastern U.S. coast
designated and implemented for the protection of right whales and their calves during their
calvingimigration season] for vessels 19.8 meters (65 feet) in length or greater). By law,
vessels shall maintain a 457.2-meter (500-yard) buffer between the vessel and any North
Atlantic right whale [as required by federal regulation 50 CFR 224.103 (c)].
2. Vessel Movement: If a sea turtle, giant manta ray, oceanic whitetip shark, or marine mammal is
seen within 91.4 meters (300 feet) of the vessel, all appropriate precautions shall be implemented
to avoid a collision (for North Atlantic right whale regulations require maintaining a distance of
457.2 meters or 1500 feet). These precautions shall include cessation of any vessel movement when
closer than 15.24 meters (50 feet) of a sea turtle, giant manta ray, oceanic whitetip shark, or marine
mammal (excluding at times when movement is required for safe navigation [e.g., transiting
inlets]). Operation may not resume until the protected species has departed the immediate area of
its own volition.
a. All vessels:
i. Marine mammals (i.e., dolphins, whales [other than North Atlantic right whales],
and porpoises) and sea turtles: Maintain a minimum distance of 91.4 meters (300
feet).
ii. North Atlantic right whale: Maintain a minimum 457.2-meter (1,500-foot)
distance (500 yards).
iii. Vessels 19.8 meters (65 feet) in length or longer must comply with the Right
Whale Ship Strike Reduction Rule (50 CFR 224.105) which includes reducing
speeds to 10 knots or less in Seasonal Management Areas
(http://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/pr/shipstrike/).
iv. Mariners shall check various communication media for general information
regarding avoiding ship strikes and specific information regarding right whale
sightings in the area. These include NOAA weather radio, USCG NAVTEX
broadcasts, and Notices to Mariners.
v. Reduce speed to 10 knots or less when mother/calf pairs or groups of marine
mammals are observed, when safety permits.
3. Reef structures shall be sited and installed in accordance with the permitted boundaries and site
clearances. New reef sections are limited to 1 reef section measuring %4- by '/4-nmi area (40 ac) in
size with a distance of 152.4 meters (500 feet) between each section. Offshore reefs shall maintain
RECEIVE®

DMS Pamlico Sound Oyster Sanctuary Mitigation Site
CAMA Permit Narrative
a minimum vertical clearance of twice the height of the structure from the top of the deployed
material relative to the mean low water (MLW) at all times.
4. Reef structures shall not be placed on natural hard -bottom habitat. No artificial reef materials shall
be deployed until a benthic assessment of the bottom conditions has been accomplished by diver
(Note, that this has been accomplished through surveys by Geodynamics and UNCW), submersible
video camera, or sidescan sonar. The inspection of the deployment area may occur at the time of
deployment but no more than I year prior to deployment. The permittee shall maintain a
deployment buffer of at least 60.96 meters (200 feet) from any submerged aquatic resources,
including seagrasses, macroalgae, hard or soft coral (including coral reefs), sponges, oysters, or
hard bottom when placed in areas of sand. If materials are off-loaded from a barge or placed in
areas that may generate turbidity (e.g., areas with fines or muck), a 152.4-meter (500-foot) buffer
is required.
5. Materials should be of sufficient size and relative' density to not move from the reef site post -
deployment and be clean and free from asphalt, creosote, petroleum, other hydrocarbons and toxic
residues, loose free-floating material or other deleterious substances.
6. The use of explosives to deploy materials is not authorized.
7. Reef materials shall be selected to ensure that ESA -listed species do not become entrapped in reef
structures, or entangled in debris (e.g., abandoned fishing tackle, nets, and lines) that may
accumulate on artificial reefs:
a. Materials used for artificial reef building shall conform to the recommendations in the
National Artificial Reef Plan (as Amended): Guidelines for Marine Artificial Reef
Materials, Second Edition (ASMFC and GSMFC 2004). Except that derelict automobiles
shall not be used and derelict vessels and military surplus shall have openings on all
exposed sides adequate to prevent entrapment of ESA -listed species. Openings will be
sufficient of sufficient size and quantity to allow for several points of egress for sea turtle
species that may enter the structure.
b. Military surplus and vessel structures such as ladders, rails, booms, antennas, etc. will be
removed to reduce the potential accumulation of abandoned fishing tackle and lines. For
all secondary -use, recycled concrete and similar materials, all steel reinforcement rods
(rebar) must be cut at the base of the concrete so that no metal protrudes from the concrete's
surface.
8. During regularly scheduled reef assessments, staff will make reasonable attempts to clean reef
materials of debris, without compromising the safety of the crew and divers. For example,
precluding conditions might involve low visibility or high current, which may present diver safety
issues and increase the potential of divers being entangled or snagged. The Permittee will send
confirmation of cleanup to NMFS's Southeast Regional Office ([e-mail]),
including dates of cleanup efforts and results of the clean-up.
9. All material placed to construct reefs (specifically designed reef modules) will be selected and
placed to avoid the movement of reef materials due to sea conditions or currents. The Permittee
(i.e., DMS) will be responsible for any materials which are moved by sea conditions or which break
loose from reefs, and the Permittee will be responsible for any damage caused by such materials.
No individual artificial reef component (i.e., prefabricated module, concrete piece, etc.) will weigh
less than 500 pounds, with the exception of materials deployed directly by authorized county or

state programs in low -energy environments (e.g., Reef Ball "Bay Ball" or "Mini -Bay Ball" in
shallow estuaries or bays). The permittee shall not deploy artificial reef materials until an
assessment of the bottom conditions has been accomplished by diver, submersible video camera,
or sidescan sonar. (Note, that this has been accomplished through surveys by Geodynamics and
UNCW). The inspection of the deployment area may occur at the time of deployment but no more
than 1 year prior to deployment. No artificial reef material will be deployed in any nearshore area
335.3 meters (1,100 feet) of any identified sea turtle nesting beach that predominantly consists of
sandy benthic habitat. No emergent artificial reef material will be authorized in identified
loggerhead sea turtle nearshore reproductive critical habitat areas. Any artificial reef material
deployed within these critical habitat areas and within 335.3 meters (1,100 feet) of the beach at
MLW) must provide at least 1.2 meters (4 feet) of surface clearance at MLW, a maximum reef
section length of 15.24 meters (50 feet), and the project must include gaps free of any material at a
1:1 ratio (e.g., for every 7.6 meters/25 feet of contiguous artificial reef material, a 7.6-meter/25-
foot gap clear of any material must be created).
10. All materials used for construction of reefs shall be consistent with the National Artificial Reef
Plan and will be clean and free of petroleum and other hydrocarbons (oil, grease, asphalt and
creosote), toxic residues (mercury, cadmium and lead) and loose, free floating material and other
deleterious substances and/or in compliance with criteria established by the USEPA. The use of
tires, Fish Aggregating Devices (FADS), post -use sanitary sewer materials, automobiles and other
civilian vehicles, white goods (refrigerators, washers, etc.) boat molds, floatables, loose organic
material and general demolition debris, other than clean concrete units to form reefs, are not
authorized.
11. The placement of material within any jurisdictional wetland, SAV bed, coral reefs, oyster reefs,
mussel beds, scallop beds, clam beds or live bottoms (areas supporting the growth of sponges, sea
fans, soft coral and other sessile macro invertebrates generally associated with rock outcrops) is not
authorized.

b. Give a brief descripllon of purpose, use, and daily operations of the project when complete.
The primary purpose and need of the project is to construct a 42-acre arlifical oyster sanctuary to serve as Estuarine
Sublidal-Mollusk habitat mitigation for wetland impacts stemming from the dredging of Wanchese harbor. In addition, the
project will address oyster population decline and the lack of oyster larval supply in the Pamlico Sound, while also providing
long-term environmental benefits and ecosystem services.
c. Describe the proposed construction methodology, types of construction equipment to be used during construction, the number of each type
of equipment and where it is to be stored.
There will be one site with two subareas to maximize the chances for success of the artificial oyster sanctuary. The tiered
system includes a 10-acre, shallower reef subarea to be constructed adjacent to a deeper, 32-acre reef subarea to provide
habitat variability that could enhance oyster survival and productivity as well as increase larval recruitment and contributions
to the "larval superhighway" planned by the NC Division of Marine Fisheries. Reef structures will be deployed using barges at
least 200 feet by 50 feet. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Sea Turtle and Smalltooth Sawfish Construction
Conditions, DMF Guidelines, Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFCpGulf States Marine Fisheries
Commision (GSMFC) Guidelines for Marine Artifical Reef Materials, USEPA National Guidance: Best Management Practices
(BMPs) for Preparing Vessels Intended to Create Artifical Reefs, NOAA/NMFS National Artifical Reef Plan/Guidance, and
USACE General Permit 198500194 and Programmatic General Permit 1980002911 permit conditions will be adhered to
during all construction activities.There will be a need for an upland stockpile to be a temporary holding location for
construction materials and barge loading. A non-SHPO resource derelict vessel is located at the stockpile site and will need
to be removed prior to construction. No dredging or alterations to the substrate will occur as a result of removing the vessel.
d. List all development activities you propose.
This project involves the creation of 42 acres of oyster sanctuary habitat in the Pamlico Sound to be used for mitigation.
Habitat structures are 60 individual reef structures constructed with granite rip rap.
