PCS Phosphate Company, Inc.
Creek Monitoring Piers
Beaufort County
Express Permit Review Program
Project setting
Jeff Furness with PCS Phosphate Company, Inc., has requested the attached
application be processed under the Express Permit Review Program, for the installation
of 17 piers to access proposed water quality monitoring stations. The project sites are
located around the PCS Phosphate, Inc. plant site near the Town of Aurora on Tooley,
Porter, Duck, Little, Jacks, Drinkwater, Jacobs, Long and Durham Creeks as well as sites
identified as PA2, DCUT11 and DCUT19, in Beaufort County, North Carolina.
PCS Phosphate Company, Inc. (PCS) is a mining and refining industry located near
the Town of Aurora in Beaufort County, North Carolina. PCS has extensive land holdings
in the county bordering the Pamlico River, Pungo River, South Creek and their tributaries.
PCS received a permit from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) on 10 June 2010
(Action ID 200110096) for impacts to 404 wetlands as part of a proposed mine advance.
Part of the permit conditions require PCS Phosphate to conduct water quality monitoring
on surrounding creeks in the area for pre and post project analysis.
The proposed sites are vegetated with various species of coastal wetlands including
SSpartina cynosuroides, Juncus romerianus, Spartina patens, Cladium aamaicense and
Typha spp.. Other vegetation on the sites includes mixed hardwoods, pines, wax myrtle,
Phragmites, palmetto, vines, and various species of wetland vegetation.
The site elevations vary from 0' to 4' above normal water level (NWL) and the water
body widths vary at each site location and individual walkway/pier dimensions are
summarized in Table 1 of the application. Tooley, Little (downstream), Jacks, Drinkwater
(downstream), Jacobs (downstream), PA2 (midstream) and Long (upstream and
downstream) Creeks are all classified as SA,HQW,NSW, by the Environmental
Management Commission. Porter, Duck (upstream and downstream), DCUT 11, DCUT 19
and Durham (midstream) Creeks are all classified as SC, NSW by the Environmental
Management Commission. Little (upstream), Drinkwater (upstream) and Jacobs
(upstream) Creeks are all classified as C,NSW by the Environmental Management
Commission. Tooley, Porter, Duck, Jacks, Drinkwater and Jacobs Creeks are all
designated as Primary Nursery Areas (PNAs) by the Wildlife Resources Commission.
South Creek is classified as a Special Secondary Nursery Area by the Marine Fisheries
Commission. None of the project sites are open to shell fishing.
Project description

The applicant proposes to construct 13 - 2' wide access walkways and
repair/replace or add to 4 existing piers with monitoring stations as follows:

2. Porter Creek downstream - construct 24 of walkway/pier with 20' projecting
into the creek.
3. Duck Creek upstream - construct 72' of walkway/pier with 22' over Coastal
Wetlands and 40' over wooded wetlands and 10' projecting into the creek.
4. Duck Creek downstream - construct 72' of walkway/pier with 65' over
Coastal Wetlands and 7' projecting into the creek.
5. Little Creek upstream - construct 16' of walkway/pier with 8' over wooded
wetlands and 8' projecting into the creek.
6. Little Creek downstream - construct 8' of walkway/pier with 6' projecting into
the creek.
7. Jacks Creek upstream - replace the existing 3' wide by 38' long walkway/pier
that projects 12' into the creek with a 48' walkway/pier with 37' over Coastal
Wetlands and 11' projecting into the creek.
8. Drinkwater Creek upstream - construct 8' of walkway/pier with 3' projecting
into the creek.
9. Drinkwater Creek downstream - construct 24' of walkway/pier with 16'
projecting into the creek.
10. Jacobs Creek upstream - construct 48' of walkway/pier with 44' over Coastal
Wetlands and 4' projecting into the creek.
11. Jacobs Creek downstream - construct 16' of walkway/pier with 12' projecting
into the creek.
12. PA2 midstream - replace existing 3' wide by 120' long walkway/pier that
projects 14' into the creation area with 120' of walkway/pier with 106' over
created Coastal Wetlands and 14' projecting into the water of the creation
area.
13. Long Creek upstream - construct 40' of walkway/pier with 24' over Coastal
Wetlands and 6' projecting into the creek.
14. Long Creek downstream - construct 16' of pier with 12' projecting into the
creek.
15. DCUT 11 downstream (unnamed tributary to Durham Creek) - construct 8' of
walkway/pier with 3' over Coastal Wetlands and 5' projecting into the creek.
16. DCUT 19 downstream (unnamed tributary to Durham Creek) - construct 48'
of walkway/pier with 45' over Coastal Wetlands and projecting 3' into the
creek.
17. Durham Creek midstream - replace existing 5' wide by 48' long walkway/pier
that projects 28' into the creek with 32' of walkway/pier with 28' projecting
into the creek.

In no case will the pier project more than % the width of the waterbody and all
walkway/piers will be elevated a minimum of 36" above the wetland substrate as measured
from the substrate to the bottom of the decking.
Anticipated impacts
The project as proposed will result in the shading of 352 ft2 creek bottom associated
with the monitoring piers. Approximately 914 ft2 of wetlands (±818 ft2 of Coastal Wetland
and ±96 ft2 of wooded wetland) will be shaded by the walkways. Approximately 82 ft2 of
uplands will be shaded by the walkways. The project will result in localized turbidity as a
result of the construction activities.

Dear Mr. Moye:
Corps of Engineers 404 Permit No. 200110096 and DWQ 401 Water Quality Certification
No. 3771 requires that PCS Phosphate monitor area creeks to assess the effects of reduction in
watershed size due to mining activities. Creeks that have the potential to be impacted and
control creeks will be monitored. To accomplish this monitoring, a small pier needs to be
constructed (or in a few cases a pier replaced) in 17 locations within 12 area creeks. Enclosed is
a CAMA Major permit application submitted under the Express Review program for this work.
Included in this package is a check for $3,000.00 for the express permitting application fee. If
you have any questions on this matter, please call me at [phone].

Narrative
PCS Phosphate Monitoring Piers
Corps of Engineers 404 Permit No. 200110096 and DWQ401 Water Quality Certification No.
3771 requires that PCS Phosphate monitor area creeks to assess the effects of reduction in
watershed size due to mining activities. Creeks that have the potential to be impacted and
control creeks will be monitored. Salinity and water level measurements are required to be
frequently collected (approximately hourly), and water quality samples collected and analyzed
twice per month. To accomplish this monitoring, a small pier needs to be constructed (or in a
few cases a pier replaced) in 17 locations within 12 area creeks. Each pier will extend from
higher ground to each creek channel in order to reach approximately two feet of water at
normal water level. Therefore, each pier will be a different length. In no case will any pier
exceed more than 25% of the width of the channel. All piers over marsh will be constructed
such that the distance from the marsh substrate to the bottom of the decking will be a
minimum of 36 inches. An automatic salinity and water level monitor will be mounted at the
end of each pier. Twice per month the data from the monitor will be downloaded, and a grab
water sample will be collected for analysis. All piers will be located on PCS Phosphate property,
and are designed to be as narrow as possible (two feet wide) and still allow safe access.
