Re: Town of Morehead City - CAMA Major Permit Modification Request
Pelletier Creek Maintenance Dredging
Dear Ms. Styron,
On behalf of the Town of Morehead City (Town), please find enclosed a CAMA Major Permit
modification request for permit 75-16 for the work known as Pelletier Creek Maintenance
Dredging. The modification request would match the dredging footprint of the Town's project with
the federally authorized limits maintained by the USACE. The current authorization for CAMA
permit 75-16 allows the dredging of an approximate 30-ft width over a 900-ft length. However,
the federal navigation channel in Pelletier Creek extends approximately 1,900-ft and maintains a
50-ft width.
The proposed modification would allow the Town of Morehead City to maximize the maintenance
potential based on available resources and minimize environmental disruptions to the habitat
adjacent to Pelletier Creek. The modification request does not propose to change any other aspects
of the current authorization and will maintain the same construction timeframe (November 16 —
March 31) and excavation depth (-5-ft MLLW +1).
We appreciate the Division's assistance and guidance in preparing the enclosed application and
look forward to a favorable review. Please feel free to contact me if there are any questions or
additional information is required.
Sincerely,
MOFFATT & NICHOL

Pelletier Creek Maintenance Dredging
Morehead City, NC
Permit Modification Narrative
Introduction
The Town of Morehead City (Town) is requesting a permit modification to CAMA permit 75-16 to modify
the Pelletier Creek dredge footprint to match the federal maintenance limits. The existing CAMA permit
covers approximately 900-ft of the federally authorized entrance channel for Pelletier Creek at a 30-ft width.
However, the River and Harbors Act of 1954 provided federal authorization for 1,900-ft entrance channel
at a 50-ft width. Therefore, the proposed modification extends the permit limits to encompass the entire
1,900-ft channel entrance and match the 50-ft federally authorized width between Bogue Sound and the
Pelletier Creek harbor of refuge. The modification request only modifies the dredge footprint and does not
adjust the authorized depth, which remains -5-ft MLLW (+1). With the proposed modifications,
maintenance events should not require removal of more than approximately 4,500 cubic yards (CY) of
material to re-establish the federally authorized channel limits. Figure 1 shows the project vicinity in
Morehead City.
Figure 1. Pelletier Creek Vicinity Map (NTS)
Project Purpose & Need
Pelletier Creek provides access to a harbor of refuge from Bogue Sound and many residential and
commercial locations. The small businesses in the Pelletier Creek community rely on navigable access to
maintain their economy and current standard of living. The areas weather and tidal currents threaten to
continuously shoal the entrance channel, creating navigation hazards for recreational boaters. If Pelletier
Creek is un-navigable, the businesses within the Pelletier Creek system risk revenue loss or pennanent
closure if maintenance operations cannot be conducted. In addition to the economic impacts, a safety risk
also exists if the channel entrance is not easily accessible to recreational craft during storm events and
typical adverse weather. Pelletier Creek functions as a harbor of refuge during storm events and recreational

Town of Morehead City
Pelletier Creek Maintenance Dredging
Permit Narrative
boaters depend on the entrance channel being open and navigable. During an unexpected weather event,
boaters may attempt to escape adverse conditions and inadvertently navigate onto a shoal area and become
unable to reach shelter. Modifying the Pelletier Creek permit will provide the Town of Morehead City an
increased potential to maintain a safe and navigable entrance for the recreational boaters and businesses
dependent on the system.
Modifying the maintenance area to match the federally authorized channel limits will also assist the USACE
in maintaining the channel entrance. The modified permit will allow the Town of Morehead City to remove
material from the full federal channel footprint, instead of only a portion or 30-ft width. Maximizing the
material removed from the channel will provide a longer maintenance interval before any additional
dredging becomes necessary. This will provide an enhanced opportunity to improve or maintain the
navigation access into Pelletier Creek, while also minimizing the maintenance frequency and potential
disruptions to the adjacent environmental habitats.
Maintenance History
The USACE has historically maintained Pelletier Creek, however the federal government has not prioritized
dredging the entrance channel in recent years. Records indicate the USACE dredged Pelletier Creek in 2001
and 2008, however, more recent maintenance events were managed by non-federal entities. (Tab E provides
a summary of the USACE's original 408 review for the current authorization of CAMA permit 75-16. The
408 review provides a summary of previous maintenance events reported by the USACE) In 2016
Pensacola Yacht Club obtained CAMA permit 75-16 to conduct the maintenance dredging and the Town
of Morehead City conducted the most recent work. In total, records indicate maintenance dredging occurred
in Pelletier Creek during the following years:
■ 2001 (USACE)
■ 2008 (USACE)
■ 2016 (Pensacola Yacht Club)
■ 2020 (Town of Morehead City)
Construction Template & Methodology
The permit modification for Pelletier Creek will allow removal of approximately 4,500 CY of dredge spoil
from the entrance channel. The modification request maintains the original design of -5-ft MLLW plus one
(1) additional foot as an overdredge allowance, for a maximum excavation depth of -6-ft MLLW. The
dredge template shall also maintain the same 3(H): l (V) side slopes as previously authorized. Excluding the
side slope area, the maintenance dredging could impact a maximum of 2.2 ac (95,000 ft2). Figure 2 and
Figure 3 show the dredge template in plan and profile view, respectively.
The modification request will not change the construction methodology for the project, or the end use
placement areas. The dredging will be conducted by the bucket to barge methodology, where an excavator
mounted on a floating barge, removes the material and places it in a hopper or bin for transfer to an
offloading site. At the offloading site, the material will be transferred to dump trucks, or other hauling
equipment, for transport to a final placement area.
Prior to placement of dredge spoils, the Town of Morehead City will notify the Division of Coastal
Management (DCM) so a representative may inspect the site to help verify the appropriate erosion control
BMPs have been established. In addition, DCM will be notified immediately in the unlikely event of
containment breech. The dredge material will be placed a minimum of 30-ft landward of the NHW (normal
high water) line or landward of any marsh area, whichever is more restrictive.

Town of Morehead City
Pelletier Creek Maintenance Dredging
Permit Narrative
Historic & Environmental Resources
An archaeological assessment has not been completed for the proposed modification. However, the River
and Harbors Act of 1954 provided federal authorization for the 1,900-ft entrance channel at a 50-ft width.
In addition, records indicate the proposed channel entrance has been dredged four (4) times previously,
dating back to 2001. Authorization of the previous maintenance events indicates no historical or
archaeological resources fall within the proposed channel boundaries.
Environmental resources, such as shellfish and submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) have also not been
identified within the proposed dredge area. Tab G provides the most recent publicly available SAV mapping
efforts from the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Also, Tab H provides a
memorandum between DCM staff indicating the site does not support shellfish habitat.
The proposed work would also be conducted between November 16th and March 31 St of any year, consistent
with the current permit authorization. Limiting the maintenance operations to cooler winter months lowers
the probability of adverse environmental impacts.
North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (SEPA)
The North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) helps to ensure projects provide the appropriate
environmental review and documentation for decision making purposes. However, pursuant to North
Carolina General Statute (NCGS) 113A-12(6), the issuance of a CAMA permit satisfies SEPA requirements
for providing the appropriate environmental review. Therefore, indications suggest additional SEPA
documentation should not be required for this modification request.
Summary
The Town of Morehead City is requesting a permit modification to allow maintenance dredging of the
federally authorized Pelletier Creek entrance channel. Current authorizations allow excavation of a 30-ft
channel approximately 900-ft in length. The modification request will allow the Town of Morehead City to
maintenance dredge the full 1,900-ft channel length and 50-ft width. A maximum of approximately 4,500
CY will be removed from the approximate 2.2 ac site during the maintenance operations. The modification
request will not change the proposed dredge depth [-5-ft (+1) MLLW] or channel side slopes (3H:IV). In
addition, the modification request does not alter the requirements of any material transfer site or end -use
placement site.
The modification request maintains consistency with the Pelletier Creek federal authorization and should
not create adverse impacts to shellfish or SAV habitat. Previous studies indicate the proposed dredge area
does not support shellfish or SAV habitat. In addition, maintenance operations would be conducted between
November 16 and March 31, to further limit the potential of adverse impacts.

9. Narrative Description:
The Town of Morehead City, project is located off highway 70 East in Morehead City,
Carteret County. The project area can be found via several different roads, however, the
easiest viewing location is found by turning south off of Highway 70 East in Morehead
City onto Mansfield Parkway (next to Kmart). Follow Mansfield Parkway to the end and
turn left onto South Shore Drive. There is a private residence at the very end of this road,
however there is an undeveloped private lot at the corner of Shore Drive and Tennessee
Ave. that overlooks Bogue Sound. The Peletier Creek entrance is located to the east of this
area.
The subject area serves surrounding single family residences as well as surrounding
businesses. The entrance channel to Peletier Creek is a USCOE designated channel with
Peletier Creek designated as a Harbor of Refuge.
According to the applicant, the channel was federally authorized in 1954 for a 50' x 1900'
x -5' mllw channel. The current major permit authorized a 30' x 900' x -5' channel.
According to the applicant, this area was excavated in 2001, 2008, 2016 and 2020. The
water depths in the area to be excavated currently are -4.5 mllw, with a connecting water
depth of -6' and greater leading south to the AIWW. The Division of Water Resources
classifies this area as SB Waters. This part of Bogue Sound is not a designated Primary
Nursery Area and is closed to the taking of shellfish. The Morehead City Land Use Plan
certified in 2007 classifies this area as Conservation within the AEC. No shellfish
resources or submerged aquatic vegetation were observed within the project area. There
are single-family homes to the east and the west of the project location.
10. Project Description:
The Town of Morehead City is proposing a modification to the previously permitted
channel excavation of 30' x 900' x -5' to the federally authorized channel of 50' x 1900' x
-6' within Peletier Creek. The existing water depths within these areas are an average of -
4.5 mllw with the connecting water depths at the channel entrance at -6'NLW or greater.
A total of approximately 4,500 cubic yards of material would be removed from the main
channel area with an excavation footprint of 50' x 1900'. The final depth for the entrance
channel would be -6' (-5'+ -1' over dredge) mllw. The excavation would be done by
bucket to barge and taken offsite to a preapproved spoil location. Per the applicant, the
excavation of the original 50' x 1900' x -6' USACOE channel is necessary due to the area
is a Harbor of Refuge and a means of continued commerce and livelihood for the small
business as well as safe passage for boaters within the area.
11. Anticipated Impacts:
The proposed excavation would increase turbidity and cause approximately 95,000 square
feet of disturbance to shallow bottom habitat. There will be no impact to SAV or shellfish.
Spoils would be barged and offloaded at a preapproved site. There would be spoil spillage
at or near the shoreline and water column during the offloading process from the barge to

the dump truck. Sedimentation measures would need to be taken to prevent spoil seepage
and runoff into the adjacent waterbody and within the estuarine shoreline area. Any
residual spoil berms on the bottom substrate would need to be restored to predevelopment
elevations and contours.

MEMORANDUM.FOR RECORD
SUBJECT: Section 408- Peltier Creels
2.8 0Qctober 2016
Federal Project Authority: Peltier Creek, which consists of an entrance channel (6' deep by
50' wide) and small boat basin (G' deep by 200' wide by 600' long), was authorized by the River
and Harbor Act of 1954.
Location and Description: The proposed project is located at Peltier Creek within the
authorized U.S. Army Corps of.Engineers (USAGE). navigation projectin Carteret°C"ounty
(Figure 1). Peltier Creels is designated as a Harbor of Refuge: a port, inlet, or other'body of water
noimally sheltered from heavy seas by land and in which a vessel can navigate and safely moor.
Proposed Action: The Wihriington District, Regulatory Division, received an application from
tie Pensacola Yacht Club, LLC seeking Department of the Army (D A.) authorizati. qn to allov�
maintenance dredging within the authorized dimensions of the existing USACE project:.at Peltier
Creek. A total of approximately 3,000 cubic yards of material will be removed from the most
heavily shoaled areas of the Peltier entrance channel and basin (Figure 2). The" proposed action
is dredging to a depth of -6 feet mean low be
water and a width of 30 feet. The dredging will.
accomplished by bucket and barge with dredged. material taken offsite to a preapproved noisy
federal upland disposal location.
Technical Analysis: The Wilmington District operations.; Engineering,. and Plane in& Branches
have reviewed the plans for the maintenance dredging and have concluded that there is no
evidence to indicate that the proposed project will have any negative effects on the federal
project. To the contrary, the proposed project will improve navigation within the federally
authorized USACE project.
Public Interest Determination: The channel leading. Vito Peltier Creek allows various- sized
vessels to navigate the entrance channel. and to dock adjacent to the. basin. Peltier Creek is used
for docking recreational boats, and is a Harbor of Refuge to protect ships from roiTgh seas: The
proposed dredging will temporarily increase turbidity in the vicinity of the work; however, the
proposed dredging should not adversely affect.significantresources, especially since the
dredging will occur within a previously disturbed area. Peltier Creek is riot. designated as a
Primary Nursery Area and the waters are closed to shellfish harvesting. No shellfish resources. or
submerged aquatic vegetation occur within the project area.

SUBJECT: Major Permit Request by Pensacola Yacht Club, LLC maintenance excavation of a
USACOE channel along the entrance of Peletier Creek in Morehead City, Carteret
County, North Carolina.
Date: June 6, 2016 0-9\1
Consistency Determination: The request is consistent with/not in conflict with the Town of Morehead
City Land Use Plan certified by the CRC on September 28, 2007.
Overview: The subject property is located off highway 70 East in Morehead City, The proposed project
excavation site is located at the USACOE channel entrance to Peletier Creek off of Bogue Sound.
According to the USACOE the site was excavated in 2001 and 2008. The project proposes to excavate
approximately 3,000 cubic yards from the main channel area of 30' x 600' to 900'. Existing water depths
at the site range from -1'to -3' NLW depending on location, proposed final water depth is -6' NLW.
Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC) include Public Trust Area and Estuarine Water. This portion of
Bogue Sound is classified as SB (Primary Recreation, Salt Water). This area of Bogue Sound is not
designated as a Primary Nursery Area and is closed to the taking of shellfish. No Submerged Aquatic
Vegetation (SAV) habitat or shellfish resources were found at the site. A review of historic and
archaeological resources was not provided.
Anticipated impacts resulting from this project are expected to include: an increase in turbidity and
cause approximately 18,000 ftz of disturbance to shallow bottom habitat. There will be no impact to
SAV or shellfish. Spoils will be barged and offloaded to a pre -approved site.
Basis for Determination:
The Town of Morehead City Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designates all estuarine waters as
"Conservation/Open Space". The project appears consistent with the Future Land Use designations.
