Please give a brief project description below.*

NC DOT Ferry is looking at expanding the permitted limits for the
Southdock basin. It is estimated that approximately 60,000 cubic yards of
sand is needed to restore the dunes on Highway 12 on Ocracoke and only
about 40,000 cubic yards can be removed during our upcoming
maintenance dredging event. During the past couple of storm events the
spoil site has experienced significant erosion and the material has been
deposited along the western side of the basin.The expanded permitted
area would allow us to reclaim that material and use it primarily to complete
the work along 12, but also utilize any remaining material for rebuilding the
spoil site berm.A rough sketch has been attached and we estimate that
expanding 150'on the northwest side would create approximately 1.6
additional acres of channel bottom and expanding 100'on the northwest
side would create approximately 1 acre. More specific limits and amount of
material to be excavated would be generated as we moved forward in the
process.
The widening of the channel would also have public safety impacts as it
would allow for easier navigation into the basin and keep the vessels
further from the sheet pile wall. Furthermore, it would cut down on the
frequency of dredging events since more material could be removed from a
larger area during each event.
Please give a couple of dates you are available for a meeting.
