PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to construct an upland basin with two access channels, two rip rap groins, multi -slip pier, dry stack facility, boat ramp, bridge, clubhouse and rip rap shoreline stabilization. Burton Farm Development Arlington Place 0 Burton Farm Rd., Minnesott Beach Pamlico County Project setting Quible & Associates, P.C. on behalf of Burton Farm Development has submitted the attached CAMA Major Permit application for construction of an upland basin with two access channels, two rip rap groins, multi -slip pier, dry stack facility, boat ramp, clubhouse and rip rap shoreline stabilization. The project site is located of NC Highway 306 in the Arlington Place subdivision at 0 Burton Farm Rd., in Minnesott Beach on the Neuse River in Pamlico County, North Carolina. The Arlington Place site is approximately 437 acres in size and is part of the larger Burton Farm Development which has been subdivided into three phases: Mill Creek (Phases I and II) and Arlington Place, which is phase III. This permit application specifically deals with Arlington Place. The existing site consist of fallow agriculture land and approximately 143 acres of Section 404 wooded wetlands. The only man-made features on this property is a network of ditches and drainage tiles that were installed when the land was in agricultural production. This project has been the subject of multiple Agency scoping meetings. The shoreline is f2,784 linear feet in length. This shoreline is characterized by a 10'-20' eroding high bluff. There is an area of beach between the base of the high bluff and Normal Water Level (NWL) which varies is width from 10' to 20'. This beach area has sporatic stands of spartina patens throughout. The beach ranges from NWL to approximately 4.0' in elevation at the base of the bluff. The bluff is vegetated with pines, various hardwoods and scrub shrub growth. The property is bordered on the upstream (north) by Mill Creek subdivision and downstream (south) side by single-family residential lots. The Neuse River in this area is classified SB;Sw,NS W by the Environmental Management Commission. This section of the River is designated as coastal waters, and is in the Neuse River basin and is not open to shell fishing. The project site is not located within a Primary Nursery Area. A SAV survey conducted in May of 2018 by Quible and Associates did not indicate the presence of SAV. The results of a flushing model for the proposed basin have been provided in the CAMA Major Permit application. Project description The applicant proposes to excavate a 1.66 acre (t875 ft. long x t 83 ft. wide x -6.0 ft..deep) upland basin that will have one 693 ft. long x 60 ft. wide main access channel on the south (downstream) and another 90 ft. long x 40 ft. wide flushing channel to the north (upstream). The access channel will be excavated to a depth of -6.0 ft. below NWL while the flushing channel will be excavated to a depth of -4.0 ft. below NWL. The upland basin shoreline will be stabilized with 1,074 linear feet of bulkhead. The 665 linear feet of high bluff shoreline between the two channels will be stabilized with a rip rap revetment measuring 18 ft. in base width. A 95 ft. long groin with a base width of 10' is proposed on the south side of the flushing channel. The navigation channel will be stabilized on the north side with a 109 ft. long groin with a base width of 12 feet. A 80 ft. long x 12 ft. wide bridge with a clearance of 7.5' is proposed over the north end of the upland basin which will lead to a 1,890ft2 Burton Farm Development Arlington Place 0 Burton Farm Rd., Minnesott Beach Pamlico County Page 2 pavilion located between the upland basin and the Neuse River. The upland basin will have 20 wet slips adjacent to a 335 ft. long x 10 ft. wide boardwalk/dock immediately adjacent to the basin slips. A 144 slip, 36,000 ft', dry stack facility with a 750 ft' marina office is proposed landward of the wet slips and boardwalk. A 20 ft. wide by 55 ft. long boat ramp with 4' wide launch piers on both sides located in the upland basin is proposed immediately North of the dry stack building. Parking areas will be located to the north and east of the proposed dry stack facility. Immediately south of the basin and dry stack facility a 16,284 ft' clubhouse is proposed approximately 160 feet landward of NWL. This clubhouse will tie in to a 300 ft. long x 6 ft. wide pier with a 30 ft. x 20 ft. T-Head platform on the terminal end. Along both sides of this proposed pier a total of 20 — 3 ft. wide x 20 ft. long finger piers are proposed to create 20 wet slips. Two 30 ft. long vertical groins are proposed south of the navigation channel and two vertical groins are proposed north of the flushing channel. Anticipated impacts The applicant proposes to excavate approximately 45,180 ft' of River bottom to create the two channels. Approximately 72,625 ft' of uplands will be excavated to create the upland basin. A 4.0 acre spoil disposal area is located on the same tract of land as the proposed development. Approximately 2,258 ft' of River bottom will be filled for the installation of the two rip rap groins. The rip rap revetment located between the channels will cover 11,970 ft' of shoreline beach, and disjointed stands of spartina patens, in the area between the high bluff and NWL. Approximately 3,000 ft'of River bottom will be shaded as a result of the pier, platform and finger pier construction. Approximately 55,000 ft' (1.3 acres) of uplands will be disturbed for the construction of the dry stack, clubhouse, marina office and parking area. Approximately 23% of the property will be covered by impervious and/or built -upon areas. The total land disturbance for these proposed development activities is 16.84 acres. The applicant proposes to pump sewage to a permitted treatment facility on -site. Kelly Spivey — 29 June 2020 May 13, 2020 Mr. Warren D. Eadus, P.G. Quible & Associates, P.C.

Arlington Place CAMA Major Permit Application June 16, 2020 Burton Farm Development Company, LLC ARLINGTON PLACE MARINA PROJECT NARRATIVE Site Location The site is an approximately 437-acre parcel located along the Neuse River accessed via Burton Farm Road (NCSR 1120) and roughly centered around latitude 34.99322720 N and longitude 76.84045380 W (Figure 1- relevant portion of USGS Quadrangle Cherry Point with project area highlighted). Arlington Place is part of the larger Burton Farm Development, LLC property which has been subdivided into three phases: Mill Creek (Phases I and 11) and Arlington Place (Phase III). This request deals specifically with a proposed marina development within Arlington Place (Phase III). The attached USGS Quadrangle -Cherry Point (with the marina development area highlighted in blue) shows the location of the project area. A deed and survey of Arlington Place (including Mill Creek Phases I and II) is provided as Attachment A. Existing Development and Site Conditions Existing development on site consists of fallow agricultural land and approximately 143 acres of Section 404 wetlands primarily situated around several blue line streams draining the interior of the property. Existing man-made drainage "improvements" consist of a network of tiles and ditches that drain the former agricultural land into the adjacent wetland systems. Several unimproved dirt roads traverse the property. The shoreline along the Neuse is best characterized as a high bluff with cliffs of nearly 20 feet near the southeast corner of the property and gradually tapering to 10 feet as you move to the northwest corner of the property. The bluff reflects the general trend of the topography along the Neuse. Interior elevations average 20 feet above Mean Sea Level (MSL). The development concept for Arlington Place is subject to Master Plan approval (zoned R-MU). A draft plan showing the planned development for all of Arlington Place including the reduced upland marina basin as shown on the attached CAMA Site Plans has been presented to the Town of Minnesott Beach. The latest development concept envisions a much less dense upland development along with a reduced marina concept that still provides safe harbor for vessels. A draft copy of a Master Plan Amendment is included as Attachment B. Issued Permits and Permittinq History 1. A North Carolina State Environmental Protection Act (SEPA) Document was prepared for this project and a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) Letter was issued on November 3, 2008 related to a proposed upland marina basin and accompanying residential subdivision. 2. A Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Permit (Pamli-2010-006) was issued on November 23, 2009 for a "Marina Test Hole". A Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Permit (Pamli-2011-008) that included upland and marina development was issued on December 16, 2010. 3. A low -density Stormwater Permit (SW7100308) was issued on August 10, 2010 for the low -density section of the proposed subdivision. A High -Density Stormwater Permit (SW7100205) was issued on June 14, 2011 for high density portions of the development. 4. A 401 Water Quality Certification was issued (DWQ #11-0008) on April 20, 2011. 5. CAMA Major Permit #85-11 was issued on July 14, 2011 for a ten -acre upland basin with connection to the Neuse River. The CAMA Permit included the marina, dry stack storage, clubhouse and all associated infrastructure and support. CAMA Mae rt�VED #85-11 was renewed through 2017 at which time DCM would no longer rene L JUN 19 2020 Arlington Place CAMA Major Permit Application Burton Farm Development Company, LLC June 16, 2020 issued permit. A High Rate Infiltration System (HRIS) Permit (No. WQ0035232) was renewed on May 5, 2017 (valid through April 30, 2022) for the construction and operation of an onsite wastewater treatment facility capable of treating and disposing of up to 200,000 gallons per day. The HRIS Permit relies on the previously approved USACE Wetlands Plat (signed by USACE on October 7, 2009) and has been kept active by the applicants since issuance on September 8, 2011. As a courtesy, digital copies of each of these permits can be found at: https:Hbit.ly/AP Permits Avoidance and Minimization The attached plans and application reflect many years of changes to the property development concept. These changes are primarily a reflection of housing market demands and trends. Burton Farm Development Company, LLC was permitted to construct a 10-acre upland marina basin (excavated to -8.0') with 200 dry stack storage slips and 99 wet slips sized for large sailboats and cruisers. The size of the marina basin has been reduced to 1.66 acres and two channels are proposed to promote flushing. The proposed development will not impact any Section 404 Wetlands and stormwater runoff will be captured and treated using a series of dry infiltration basins and other approved stormwater control measures (SCMs). In addition to a reduction in the overall marina size and intensity, the surrounding future development will be less dense than the previously approved development. Please note, the changes to the surrounding development involve seeking approvals from the Town of Minnesott Beach through a Master Plan Amendment (Attachment B). Upland development associated with the marina has been moved back from the shoreline to the maximum extend practicable so that DWR Buffer Impacts are limited to crossings necessary for access to the slips, boat ramp (including small area for turn around) and the dry stack boat drop. Stormwater All stormwater runoff generated by proposed impervious surfaces will be captured and conveyed to a series of onsite Stormwater Control Measures (SCMs). A state stormwater permit will be sought for the proposed development. In addition, the development will require a NCG19000 (applicable to marinas). Please note, all boat rinsing/washdown will occur inside the proposed dry stack storage building and this effluent will be treated to a residential standard prior to being pumped to the permitted wastewater treatment facility. All buffers will be vegetated (to provide diffuse flow) and stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces will be directed away from surface waters to approved SCMs. 401 Water Quality Riparian Buffers—Neuse River Basin The proposed project occurs within the Neuse River Basin (SB-NSW) and as proposed the upland basin and development will impact Zone I and Zone II Buffers as indicated on the attached CAMA Major Site Plans and Buffer Zone Authorization Plan (Attachment C). Structures and uses that are not allowed in Zone 1 and Zone II Buffers have been situated outside of the buffers and as shown on the attached plans. Wastewater All wastewater generated from the proposed project will be pumped to a permitted and yet to be built wastewater treatment plant with an associated high rate infiltration pond. The wastewawr permit allows for a series of treatment systems and ponds that collectively arERS"W JUN 19 2020 DCM-WARD Arlington Place CAMA Major Permit Application Burton Farm Development Company, LLC June 16, 2020 handling up to 200,000 gallons per day of residential wastewater. At this time there are only plans to build one treatment facility and disposal pond that can treat up to 50,000 gallons per day. The design flow for the proposed layout (22,050 gpd at total build out) is as follows: 1. Marina (240 Total Slips at build out @ 10 gallons/day) 2,400 gpd 2. Public Restroom Facility, 6 full bathrooms (toilet, lavatory, showers) 250 gpd/fixture 4,500 gpd 3. Dry Stack/Marina Offices (6 employees @25 gpd) 150 gpd 4. Clubhouse (100 gallons/ day per member @ 150 members) 15,000 gpd Boat washdown will be limited to areas inside of the dry stack storage building. A series of drains will convey boat washdown water to pre-treatment (settling tanks, oil and grit separators etc.) tanks that will then pump wastewater effluent to the permitted wastewater treatment plant. The boat washdown water will be required to be treated to residential standards before disposal into the wastewater treatment facility. SAV Survev A Submerged Aquatic Vegetation survey (SAV) was conducted in May of 2018. SAV was not present within the project area during the 2018 survey. SAV was also not observed within the project boundaries at any time during the summer of 2019 flushing model data collection. A lack of SAV on the Neuse shoreline within this specific project area is well documented. Basin Flushinq Model A flushing model has been performed for the selected basin geometry as shown the attached Figures 1-2-CAMA Major Site Plan. The flushing model was discussed with NCDEQ DWR prior to data collection during the summer of 2019. A Basin Flushing Model -Data Collection Plan was submitted on May 14, 2019 and onsite weather, water level and velocity data were collected through September 2019 for use in the hydrodynamic model. A copy of the Arlington Place Marina Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Report prepared by AECOM is attached as Attachment D. The original basin geometry was changed from a segmented basin with one central channel to a basin with a main navigation channel and flow through (flushing) channel. This two -channel design is required to reduce projected long flushing times which would result in predicted low dissolved oxygen values. Based on the modeling results of this two -channel design, the proposed marina configuration flushes in approximately three days and the average dissolved oxygen concentrations are always above 5.0 mg/L. Proposed Work The developer proposes to construct: an approximately 1.66 acre upland basin with 20 permanent wet slips, wooden boardwalk with pedestrian access, boat ramp, dry stack storage building (144 slips) and 750 square feet marina office. The dry stack will be capable of housing up to 144 boats with a concrete boat drop and all associated infrastructure to include: fuel tanks, water, sewer, stormwater, electric, parking etc. The developers also propose to construct a clubhouse and all associated infrastructure to include: water, sewer, stormwater, electric, parking and etc. This proposal also includes a 300 linear feet pier into the Neuse River with 20 seasonal or "fair weather" slips. The upland basin will be lined with vinyl and wood bulkheads (1,704 LF) as requ�gl�j'vE® JUN 19 2020 DCM.VVAR® Arlington Place CAMA Major Permit Application Burton Farm Development Company, LLC June 16, 2020 flushing model to encourage flow. Two channels are proposed, one navigation channel measuring 693 linear feet by 60 feet wide (dredged to -6.0' at NWL) and one flushing channel measuring 90 linear feet by 40 feet wide (dredged to -4.0' at NWL). All proposed dredging and excavation will be done mechanically. The Neuse shoreline is proposed to be stabilize by placing a 665 feet long riprap revetment along with two rip rap jetties (107 linear feet along the navigation channel and 97 feet along the flushing channel) to protect the marina entrance and flushing channel. The applicants also propose to construct a 1,890 sf open air pavillion and 80 feet by 12 feet wooden bridge with gravel tire track access road to the bridge to access the island created by the excavation of the channels. Four 30 feet long groins constructed of wood and vinyl are proposed as shown on the attached plans. All proposed work is shown on the attached Figures 1-3.

Introduction Development of a proposed Marina is being considered along the northern shoreline of the Neuse River approximately two miles northwest of Minnesott Beach. The Marina basin encompasses about 1.8 acres (- 7,300 m2), with a bottom elevation of -6 feet referenced to NWL and will be connected to the Neuse River via a channel approximately 60 feet wide and extends 650-feet long in the river to the -6 feet (NWL) riverbed elevation. The channel is protected with a 100-foot-long jetty on the north side and a 200-foot- long jetty on the south side. A schematic of the proposed Marina is shown in Figure 1 and its location along the Neuse River shoreline is shown in Figure 2. A hydrodynamic and transport model was developed and implemented to establish the flushing characteristics of the proposed Marina. The model was developed using the Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC) as provided in Dynamic Solution Inc.'s EFDC Explorer 10.0 modeling system. Hydrodynamic and water quality data were collected during the period between June through September of 2019 in the vicinity of the proposed site. The data were used to establish ambient conditions and provide guidance for specifying model parameters. Two models were then developed; a regional model and a local model. The regional model included an approximately 24-mile stretch of the Neuse River centered on the site and was used to evaluate the ambient hydrodynamic and water quality conditions in the area. A smaller local model was then developed to determine the flushing characteristics of the proposed Marina and channel. This report is organized into the following sections: Section 2: Summary of Data Sources Section 3: Data Analysis: Regional and Site Hydrodynamic Conditions Section 4: Regional Model Configuration and Applications Section 5: Local Model Configuration and Implementation Section 6: Revised Channel Configuration Section 7: Summary and Results The modeling analysis inherently used the metric system for analysis, and much of the data is provided in the English system. The data is typically discussed and displayed with metric units, but some exceptions exist within the report. The projection used throughout the analysis is the North Carolina State Plane system in meters and the vertical datum is Mean Tide Level. Neither of these choices is critical to the flushing analysis, as the results of interest are primarily the residence time and estimated minimum dissolved oxygen levels in the Marina.

Summary of Data Sources The development of a hydrodynamic and water quality model requires numerous data to support the implementation. These include bathymetry for configurating the model, flow and water elevations for both specifying boundary conditions, and calibration and wind data.

Data Analysis: Regional and Site Hydrodynamic Conditions The regional bathymetry data available from NOAA is shown in Figure 4. The Neuse River is approximately 4.5 km wide in the vicinity of the site and a large portion of the river is on the order of 4 meters (-13 feet) deep. A cross section of the bathymetry data in the vicinity of the proposed Marina site is shown in the insert. The cross -sectional area is on the order of 17,000 m2 (182,000 ft2). f ., E c .) y -0 0 500 loon 1500 2000 2500 3000 35N 4M 4500 ��,,� • D.O..[, Lom Some e.:d lml • ,��\�������. Depth (M.

Data from the local survey (Quible & Associates, 2019) is shown in Figure 5 with 'artificial' survey points added at -1.82 meters (-6 feet) to represent the footprint of the proposed Marina. The Neuse River flow data collected at the Fort Barnwell and Hwy 43 USGS station represents drainage areas of approximately 10,000 km2 and 700 km2. A plot of the flow distribution for both stations is shown in Figure 6 and the seasonal variation in average flows for the Fort Barnwell station is shown in Figure 7. The maximum flow over the 20-year period (2000-2019) is just under 1,500 m3/s, and the median flow is approximately 4.8 m3/s. The flows from Swift Creek (Hwy 23 gage) are significantly less. The highest discharge of 1,500 m3/s equates to an average velocity magnitude of 8.8 cm/s for the area adjacent to the site (1,500/17,000) and the average velocity magnitude associated with the median discharge of 4.8 m3/s is insignificant (0.02 cm/s). Thus, the river discharges do not generate high flow speeds in the lower Neuse River and near the proposed Marina site. The seasonal flow distribution indicates higher flows during the late winter and early spring, and lower flows on the average during the summer. Prepared for: Quible & Associates, P.C.

Seasonal Flows in the Neuse River (based on Fort Barnwell Data 2000-2019). The prevailing winds are generally from the southwest for 10 months of the year, and from the northeast during September and October. The average wind speed is about eight to 10 mph (NOAA NCDC Climate Summary). An example of the wind speed and direction pattern for the southwesterly winds are shown in Figure 8 for the first two weeks in July 2012 and two weeks in October 2012. The southwest and northeast trends are evident in the plots, but the winds do vary in speed and direction in both periods. Tide data adjacent to the site was collected from 6/10/2019 through 10/30/2019. The depth data (i.e., 'sensor' data) collected by Quible & Associates is plotted in Figure 9 with verified data from the USCG Cape Hatteras station for comparison. The discharge as measured at the USGS Fort Barnwell Station is also shown for reference. The USCG station is inside the barrier island and therefore, the amplitude is attenuated relative to the offshore tide amplitude. The NOAA data for this site indicates a semi -diurnal tide, with a mean tide range of 13 cm. The vertical datum of the sensor data is not known, so it was translated vertically to roughly align with the NOAA tide data at Cape Hatteras. It is apparent that the typical tide range at the site (i.e., sensor data) is similar to that of the tide range at the USGS Station at Cape Hatteras. The impact of Hurricane Dorian, which passed offshore of North Carolina in early September 2019 is evident in the data. The lower panel in Figure 9 is an expanded view of the signals for a two -week period to better show the daily tide ranges. There are variations in the lower frequency signal, which are likely due to the different responses to coastal surges, which are likely to impact the USGC station and discharge events that are more likely to impact the site. A one -month time series plot of the predicted tide from the NOAA tide predictions at the Cape Hatteras Station is shown in Figure 10. The signal shows that the two daily tides are modulated by a spring -neap cycle. When the two daily tides are similar in range, they are on the order of the 8 to 10 cm range, and when they differ the most, they are on the order of 7 to 15 cm range.

Semi -Diurnal Tide Range Over a Spring Neap Cycle. The water temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen data collected by Quible & Associates during the summer and fall of 2019 is plotted in Figure 11. The station locations are shown in Figure 1. Station 1 is in about 3 feet (0.9 m) of water with data measured at the surface and at 1 and 2 feet below the surface. Station 2 is farther offshore, in about 6 feet (1.8 m) of water with measurements taken at the surface and at 1, 2, 3, and 4 feet below the surface. The temperature data show typical summer and fall water temperatures between 28 and 31 degrees Celsius, with little or no stratification. The largest surface to bottom difference is about 2 degrees Celsius. The salinity values are very low, with a maximum value just below 1.5 ppt, indicating very little saltwater intrusion into the area. The vertical stratification is also very small, with the maximum surface to bottom difference less than 1 ppt. These data indicate that the stratification due to temperature or salinity are not significant in this area. The dissolved oxygen at both stations exhibits a large variation, and a high degree of stratification. The minimum and maximum values range from 2 to almost 13 mg/L. The largest surface to bottom variation (i.e., stratification) is on the order of 6 mg/L. The stratification appears to be larger at Station 2 and is likely related to the greater water depth. The stratification is likely due to low ambient velocities, with the gradient induced by wind induced reaeration and sediment oxygen demand. Nutrient and biological oxygen demand data are not available but may also contribute to the wide range of measured values. It is noted that there were 139 dissolved oxygen measurements made over the data collection period, and 21 of them, or about 15%, were below 5.0 mg/L. There are two periods in which the dissolved oxygen levels are both relatively high and stratified. A plot of the measured dissolved oxygen and associated river discharge and wind speed during the period are provided in Figure 12. The second event clearly is related to the passing of Hurricane Dorian offshore of North Carolina. It is likely the high winds increased the surface dissolved oxygen and rainfall and the associated river discharge provided cooler surface temperatures that increased the dissolved oxygen saturation levels. The measured temperature at the time of those measurements did not indicate a significant temperature drop, but the measurements were taken after the peak of the storm and the dissolved oxygen levels may be a remnant of the initial cooler discharge. There is little explanation for the first high dissolved oxygen levels (occurring on August 13, 2019) reflecting the difficulty in simulating dissolved oxygen in general, and points to the need for extensive data collection to provide adequate basis for interpretation.

AECOM 14 Arlington Place Marina Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Report Project number: 60617258 4. Regional Model Configuration and Applications A regional model of the Neuse River was developed extending approximately 10 km downstream and 24 km upstream of the site. The regional model was used to evaluate the role of river flow, tides and wind - driven circulation on the flows in the vicinity of the proposed Marina. The regional model was also used to simulate dissolved oxygen levels and compared with the measured data for evaluation. The model parameters developed for the comparison were then used in a local model that was developed to estimate the flushing characteristics and dissolved oxygen levels in the proposed Marina. Finally, the results of the regional model were also used to define the boundary conditions for the local model. A curvilinear grid was developed for the extent of the regional model using grid cells approximately 200 by 600 meters. The curvilinear grid is shown in Figure 13. The bottom panel shows the bathymetry data, as mapped onto the grid and the applied boundary locations. Figure 13. Model Grid and Bathymetry. Four equally spaced sigma grid layers were applied in the regional model. Three scenarios were used to evaluate the role of discharge, tides, and wind on the ambient conditions adjacent to the proposed site. Each scenario simulates the time period 6/10/2019 through 10/3012019. Prepared for: Quible & Associates, P.C. AECOM 15 Arlington Place Marina Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Report Project number: 60617258 Regional Model Scenario 1: Flow discharge at the north boundary and zero water elevation at the south boundary. No wind. Simulates the time period 6/10/2019 through 10/30/2019. Regional Model Scenario 2: Zero discharge at the north boundary and measured water elevations at the south boundary. No wind. Simulated a 30-day period using predicted tides from the Cape Hatteras Station. Regional Model Scenario 3: Zero discharge at the north boundary and zero water elevation at the south boundary. Wind forcing based on Duke Marine Lab, Beaufort Station wind records during the simulation period. In all simulations, the Smagorinsky algorithm was used for lateral mixing with a dispersion ratio of 1.0. The k-epsilon model used for vertical was missing. The bottom friction was represented using a Manning's n value of 0.015. The velocity magnitudes during each simulation are shown in Figure 14 through Figure 16 for each scenario.

Velocity Magnitude Near the Proposed Marina Due to River Discharges The river discharges yield very low magnitudes in the vicinity of the site. The river is over 4.5 km wide and 4 meters deep over most of the river width, and the large cross -sectional area yields low speeds. As expected, the surface layer speeds are higher than the depth averaged speeds, which are higher than the lower layer. These results are indicative of the shear layer that develops through the water column. As shown in Figure 15, the tide induced flows yield much higher speeds, with peak surface layer speeds on the order of 14 cm/s. The bottom layer speeds are significantly lower; on the order of 3 cm/s. The wind induced speeds cover a wide range, with peak speeds on the order of 14 cm/s, exclusive of the response to winds during Hurricane Dorian, where the flow speeds exceeded 30 cm/s.

Velocity Magnitude Near the Proposed Marina Due to Winds. A fourth regional model scenario was developed to simulate water quality. This scenario invoked the EFDC basic water quality model and the results compared to the measured data for evaluation. The simulation period was the same as the measurement period, 6/10/2019 through 10130/2019. The measured water temperature was applied at both upstream and downstream boundaries and an initial condition of 27.5 degrees Celsius was used. The initial dissolved oxygen was set to 7.0 mg/L and applied as a constant value at both boundaries. The sediment oxygen demand was set to a constant of 2.0 g/m2/day, and wind induced reaeration was activated using parameter values consistent with slow moving streams and water bodies. Solar radiation, relative humidity and air temperature data from the Duke Marine Lab were applied. The simulated temperature and dissolved oxygen levels at the approximate location of the measured data is shown in Figure 17. The calibration to the temperature data is good, in that the low frequency trends are well represented. Measured daily fluctuations for temperature are not available and therefore can't be evaluated. The simulated results indicate they are on the order of 1-degree C. The calibration was obtained using the C-QUAL-2E thermal algorithm with a light extinction coefficient of 0.75 m-1. The dissolved oxygen calibration was obtained using the O'Conner-Dobbins (1958) reaeration algorithm and a Sediment Oxygen Demand (SOD) of 1.0 g/m2/day. The O'Conner-Dobbins (1958) reaeration algorithm accounts for both flow speed and wind impacts on reaeration rates. The comparison of the simulated and measured dissolved oxygen shows a good representation of the lower dissolved oxygen levels, but the simulated results fail to reach the higher levels in the measured data. The simulated level of vertical stratification in the measured data is well represented, with the larger range on the order of Prepared for: Quible & Associates, P.C. AECOM 17 Arlington Place Marina Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Report Project number: 60617258 3 mg/L. However, the simulated results to not reproduce the high dissolved oxygen levels nor the larger stratification associated with those levels. The source of the high dissolved oxygen level is not well understood, and the mechanisms yielding these values may be due to processes not included in the model. However, without additional chemical and biological water quality data it is not possible to discern these processes. None -the -less, for the purpose of comparing 'with' and 'without project' conditions, the simulations sufficiently represent key processes, especially those yielding the lower dissolved oxygen values. The parameter values adopted for this simulation are subsequently used with the local model (discussed in the next section) to compare the impacts of the project on the dissolved oxygen levels. ♦ Station 1 —Simulated (Depth Average) 32 V 30 ° a Q 28 G 20 n 26 E 9 24 a 22 3 20 6/4/19 7/5/19 8/5/19 9/5/19 10/6/19 • Station 1 —Simulated (bottom) —Simulated (surface) — 14 J m 12 ♦ 0 10 • o v 6 N�r y;~11µjr E 0 ^ 2 0 N Q _ 6/4/19 7/5/19 8/5/19 9/5/19 10/6/19 Figure 17.

Local Model Configuration and Implementation A local scale model was developed to simulate conditions within the Marina project. The model grid and bathymetry were mapped onto the grid and the location of the boundary conditions is shown in Figure 18. The grid cells in the Marina are on the order of 3 by 3 meters, and in the channel are 3 by 6 meters. On the outer edges the grid cells increase to approximately 20 by 40 meters. As with the regional model, four equal vertical sigma layers were used. The jetties were included by using the cell blocking feature in EFDC. The location of the jetties is shown in the Figure 18 insert as black lines along the entrance channel. flow rr � 44 .y4-� GZ4t# �tfP -: r6S evti ♦ '•r 1 30A01 010e00 elevation Figure 18. Local Model Grid, Bathymetry and Boundary Conditions. Prior to implementing the model for evaluation of the flushing characteristics, a classic tidal prism analysis was completed to provide a screening level estimate of the flushing rate. The Marina basin volume is approximately 13,286 m3. The tidal range is on the order of 8 cm twice per day, or 13 and 7 m per day. These equate to a total tidal prism of 1,168 m3 and 1,460 m3 each day. A classic'rule of thumb' is that about 10% of the tidal prism is exchanged with the basin water, which is due to most of the ebb tide discharge staying close to the entrance each cycle. Thus, each day approximately 117 to 146 m3 of basin water is replaced with ambient water from the Neuse River. The time scale to replace the entire basin volume is then on the order of three months. This is usually a conservative estimate but does reveal the low flushing rate due to the small tidal range in the vicinity of the proposed site. Two local model scenarios were developed to provide a more quantitative investigation of the flushing characteristics of the proposed Marina. The first is to examine the tide -only flushing and the second was developed to investigate the role of wind forcing on the flushing. The simulations consisted of a 4-week period consistent with the first four weeks of the regional model simulations. Boundary conditions for the local model were developed using a 4th regional model scenario. The regional model simulations consisted of a 1,700 cfs base flow and the same tide conditions used in Scenario 2. Local Model Scenario 1: Tides and base flow forcing, with an initial dye concentration of 100 mg/L in the basin and zero level in the river. For this scenario, the flow boundaries from the Regional Model Scenario 4 were applied at the north boundary and the water surface elevation conditions were extracted from the Regional Model Scenario 2 and applied at the south boundary. Local Model Scenario 2: Wind, tide and base flow forcing, with an initial dye concentration of 100 mg/L in the basin and zero level in the river. For this scenario, the flow boundaries from the Regional Model Scenario 4 were applied at the north boundary and the water surface elevation Prepared for: Quible & Associates, P.C. AECOM 19 Arlington Place Marina Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Report Project number: 60617258 conditions were extracted from the Regional Model Scenario 3 and applied at the south boundary. The period examined correlates to a time when the winds are from the southwest (7/3/2019 through 7/10/2019) with peak afternoon speeds on the order of 13 knots (6.7 m/s). The results for the tide -only flushing are shown in Figure 19. The plot shows the initial dye concentration and the final concentrations after 7 days of tide flushing. A time series of the spatially averaged dye concentration in the Marina was exported and analyzed to estimate the flushing time.

Asimulation of dissolved oxygen concentrations in the proposed Marina was also completed with the local model. A four -week period was simulated using the same hydrodynamic and wind forcing as used for the dye simulations, except that they were extended for a 4-week period. The same re -aeration algorithm and SOD coefficients used in the calibration of the regional model (O'Conner-Dobbins (1958) and 1.0 g/m2/d). The tidal and flow dissolved oxygen boundary values for D.O. were set to 6.0mg/L. Temperature boundary values were set to 28.7 °C. The initial conditions for D.O. are 6.0 mg/L and 28.7 eC throughout the model domain. A time series of the depth -averaged dissolved oxygen at a location in the Neuse River approximately 250 m offshore of the Marina, and for a point in the proposed Marina are shown in Figure 24. In the river, the D.O. levels are generally above 5.0, but drop below that near the end of the simulation, which corresponds to neap tide conditions. The simulated D.O. values in the Marina are below 5.0 for approximately 90% of the time for the more extreme scenario with tide and baseflow-only forcing. This is primarily due to the poor mixing and re -aeration associated with the tide -only forcing of flow into and out of the Marina. The average value over the simulation period is 4.9 mg/L in the river and 1.8 mg/L in the Marina. 2 J m6 E 5 c 4 o 3 v > 2 0 1 N O n 10 15 20 25 30 Simulation Days —Nueces River —Marina Figure 24.

The distribution of depth -averaged D.O.in the Marina for this simulation is shown in Figure 26. The D.O. is above 5.0 for most of the time, and the average value is 6.0 mg/L.

Distribution of Simulated D.O. in the Proposed Marina for the 'With Wind' Scenario. The results of the modeling analysis of the proposed Marina are varied. The dye simulation results indicate relatively poor flushing, on the order of 87 days for calm periods and on the order of 35 days when the prevailing winds are included. It is noted that it is unlikely that there would be an 87-day period without significant wind impacts, thus a 35-to-45 day Flushing time is more characteristic. The D.O. simulations are even more varied. For the more extreme situation with only tide and baseflow forcing, the D.O. is estimated to be under 5.0 mg/L throughout most of the Marina for a majority of the time. If the wind is included, then the results indicate much higher D.O. levels, above 5.0 mg/L most of the time. This seems to indicate that the D.O. may fall well below 5.0 mg/L during less frequent quiescent periods of a few days, but otherwise will be above 5.0 mg/L under more normal conditions. However, the simulated dye flushing indicates relatively poor flushing for both the tide and baseflow-only scenario and when Prepared for: Quible & Associates, P.C. AECOM 23 Arlington Place Marina Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Report Project number: 60617258 winds are included. Since the D.O. simulation does not include the potential for algae growth and related D.O. consumption in the poorly flushed waters, there may be a potential for lower D.O. values, even under prevailing wind conditions.

Revised Channel Configuration In order to improve the flushing characteristics of the Marina, a revised entrance channel configuration has been developed and tested using the same modeling analysis as for the original proposed Marina. The revised design includes two channels; a main channel for navigation into and out of the Marina, and a second shallower channel intended to enhance flushing. The proposed layout is shown in Figure 27. Enhanced Flushing >. , r �-r•'a��=�;.;�� Channel etties t Entrance Channel Figure 27. Revised Marina Channel Configuration. The main channel (to the southeast) is the same width (50 feet) as the original channel and at elevation - 6 feet, extending to the -6 foot contour in the Neuse River. The channel to the northwest is —30 feet wide and elevation -4 feet, extending to the -4 foot contour. Both channels have a solid core breakwater that helps 'funnel'water into and through the Marina. The general principle in this design is to use advection, rather than diffusion, to provide sufficient flushing of the Marina. For instance, a 6 cm/s peak tidal velocity will yield an excursion length of approximately 800 meters. Since the Marina is on the order of 200 meters long, the entire Marina can be expected to be flushed during a single tidal cycle. The same two dye and D.O. simulations applied to the original proposed Marina configuration were applied for this revised configuration to evaluate the flushing characteristics. The results of the two dye simulations, for tide and baseflow only and including wind impacts are shown in Figure 28 and Figure 29. Prepared for: Quible & Associates, P.C.

Simulated Dye Concentration in the Revised Marina Configuration Including Wind Impacts. For the first scenario, the half-life is 0.76 days, equating to an approximate flushing time of 3 days. When the wind impacts are included, the half-life is 0.64 days, equating to a flushing time of 2.5 days. The flushing time derived from the dye simulations are slightly longer than those inferred from the tidal excursion considerations and is due to a portion of the initial dye remaining in the vicinity of the channels and being transported back into the Marina by the next cycle. None -the -less, these flushing times represent a significant improvement over the results for the original Marina configuration. The two D.O. simulations used for the original Marina Configuration were also completed for the revised configuration. The same calibrated model parameters and initial and boundary conditions were applied. The distribution of the spatially averaged D.O. during the 28-day simulation are shown in Figure 30 for the tide and baseflow only scenario, and in Figure 31 for the case including wind impacts. The average D.O. levels are 5.3 and 6.5 mg/L. For the no tide and baseflow only scenario, 78% of the values are above 5.0 mglL. For the with wind impact scenario, the D.O. values in the Marina are all above 5.0 mg/L. Prepared for: Quible & Associates, P.C.

Conclusions A hydrodynamic and water quality model using EFDC+ was developed, calibrated, and implemented to estimate the flushing time and expected dissolved oxygen levels in the proposed Marina. Hydrodynamic and water quality data were collected for a period from 6/11/2019 through 10/1/2019, excluding a brief period in which the monitoring equipment was removed during the passage of Hurricane Dorian. A regional model was configured for existing conditions and calibrated to the monitoring data. The regional model was then used to investigate the impacts of tides, winds, and river flow on the flow speeds and circulation in the area adjacent of the proposed Marina. Two design scenarios were developed, one representing extremely low energy conditions and one including prevailing winds. The low energy conditions consisted of tidal forcing with a low baseflow in the river. The wind impacts included the typical southwesterly winds. A local model was developed, which includes the Marina and adjacent area of the Neuse River. Boundary conditions were extracted from the regional model. The two scenarios were executed for dye transport in the Marina. The results indicated very low flushing capacity, on the order 87 days for the low energy scenarios and 35 days when the wind impacts are included. It is noted that the 87-day time period is improbable, in that it is highly unlikely that the low energy (tide + baseflow, only) conditions would occur continuously for 87 days. None -the -less, the flushing characteristics are relatively poor for both scenarios. The simulation of dissolved oxygen indicated very low levels during the low energy conditions, with an average value of 1.3 mg/L. However, the wind impacts on D.O. are significant, and increase the average D.O. in the Marina to 6.0 mg/L. Due to the poor flushing characteristics of the proposed Marina configuration, a revised configuration that consists of two channels, one for navigation into and out of the Marina, and one to allow for'flow through' the Marina was developed. The local model was reconfigured to represent the revised Marina channel configuration and then used to evaluate the flushing and D.O. levels of the Marina. The same two scenarios were used for the same time periods. The simulated flushing times were vastly improved and are on the order of 3 days for the low energy scenario and 2.5 days when wind impacts are included. Likewise, the D.O. levels in the Marina were also improved. For the low energy scenario, the average D.O. was 5.3 mg/L and when wind impacts are included, the average value is 6.5 mg/L. Thus, the revised configuration does not rely on winds to maintain sufficient D.O. levels in the Marina and can sustain levels above 5.0 mg/L for a majority of low energy (or calm wind) periods.
