MEMORANDUM

FROM: Maria T. Dunn, Coastal Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Division
DATE: October 12, 2020
SUBJECT: CAMA Dredge/Fill Permit Application for Anne and Haywood Proctor, Brunswick
County, North Carolina.
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) reviewed the permit
application with regard to impacts on fish and wildlife resources. The project site is located at 712
Waterway Drive adjacent the AIWW in Sunset Beach, NC. Our comments are provided in accordance
with provisions of the Coastal Area Management Act (G.S. 113A-100 through 113A-128), as amended,
Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act, as amended, and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act
(48 Stat 401, as amended; 16 U.S-C. 661 et seq.).
The applicant proposes to install a new private pier with gazebo, boatlift, and floating dock to create two
new slips. The docking facility would be approximately 201' from NHW, with a 6' by 195' access pier
that leads to a 6' by 72' finger pier on the west side. The finger pier would lead to an 8' by 16' floating
dock (Slip 1) with stops set 24" above substrate. The access pier would continue beyond the finger pier
another 15' where it would terminate in a 16' by 16' gazebo. East of the gazebo would be a 14' by 14'
open slip with stops set 18" above substrate (Slip 2). Water depths at the waterward end of the lift and
floating dock are -0.5" NLW and -0.0" NLW Iandward the lift and dock_ The design would terminate
approximately 115' landward the US Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) 80' federal channel setback.
The AIWW in this area is classified SA by the Environmental Management Commission and is designed
a primary nursery area (PNA) by the NC Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF).
The NCWRC has reviewed the proposal and has concern with the establishment of slips and a floating
dock within -0.5" NLW water depths. While we understand there is an approximate 4' tidal amplitude,
there will be a significant amount of time when there is minimal water for vessel use. There are other
existing docking facilities in the area. However, this proposal would introduce a new docking facility and

therefore an increased impact to PNA habitats. PNAs are defined as those areas inhabited by the
embryonic, larval or juvenile life stages of marine or estuarine fish or crustacean species due to favorable
physical, chemical or biological factors. As a designated PNA, this waterbody provides an important
rearing area for this variety of estuarine fishes and invertebrates that need relatively undisturbed habitats.
Boating and mooring activity within the shallow depths of the proposed project modification would create
a continued source of chronic sediment disruption and elevated turbidity. Therefore, we support concerns
stated by NCDMF to avoid and minimize impacts to marine resources. These suggestions may include the
removal of the slips and floating dock or an extension of the docking facility to water depths that would
minimize the likelihood of bottom disturbance.
