Ocracoke Ferry Terminal on Cape Hatteras National Seashore (CHNS) property in Hyde County;
North Carolina. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has an easemont,from
the CHNS for a ferry terminal in this location. NC 12 terminates into a loading loop bordered by
Hatteras Inlet on the north side, the ferry basin on the west side and a public bathroom facility onthe>
east side. A sandy estuarine beach and dune boarder the basin on the north and south side. A diked:'.
spoil disposal area is also located on the southwest side of the basin. The dunes are vegetated wtl .
sea oats Uniola paniculata. and American beach grass Ammophila breviligulata. Located onsite Is .a`
±400'x ±400' ferry turning basin with metal sheet pile bulkhead on the north and east sides of the
`
basin. There are three loading slips defined by existing dolphin clusters and loading ramps,,: 'Also,
located onsite. a Ferry Division office building.
Project Description
The applicant proposes to install 2-3 pile dolphin clusters 2.0' waterward of the existing metal.
sheet pile bulkhead on the north side of the basin. The purpose of the dolphin clusters will be to.
secure auxiliary equipment such as a hydraulic dredge. The clusters will be washed down from a
barge in the basin.
Anticipated Impacts
