6 Revised Mitiqation Plan
A Narrative
i The approved mitigation plan for the Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium pro�ect
consisted of 0 06 acres of wetland creation and 10 12 acres of wetland
preservation by means of a conservation easement The permitted
impacts totaled 0 23 acres
On May 27 2011 the Department of the Army issued a letter to Mr Allen
Monroe Director of the Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium stating that the
Aquarium is non compliant with the permit conditions#1 #11 and #12
stated in Permit No 06 04 (See Appendix A) The letter proposes two
resolution options A draft Conservation Easement the name of the
proposed Conservation Easement holder and draft preservation survey
as required by the existing permit or make A formal request to modify
the permit conditions as they relate to on site preservation
The North Carolina Aquarium has authorized CLH Design pa to act as
their agent in processing this permit application (See Appendix B )
In an effort to resoive this matter in a timely efficient and complete manor
this submittal formally requests an alternative mitigation plan of offsetting
the wetland impacts associated with the Action ID No 2004 00026 and
State Permit No 06 04 The Aquarium proposes compensatory
mitigation in the form of an in lieu fee payment to the North Carolina
Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) at a 1 1 ratio as their sole
mifigation
The 0 06 acres of created wetlands would not be inciuded in the
proposed mitigation plan Establishing a Conservation Easement on the
remaining 10 12 acres of wetlands on site would require the re
delineation surveying and certification of the existing wetlands and would
restrict any future expansion of the Aquarium Making a compensatory
mitigation payment to NCEEP will allow the Aquarium to satisfy the
mitigation requirements of the expansion pro�ect Action ID No 2004
00026 It will also allow any future pro�ects to re delineate survey and
certify the existing wetlands and then pursue approval of any wetland
impacts through the applicable permitting agencies and processes at that
time
There was a minor deviation from the approved mitigation plan dated
7 22 2004 The service drive indicated as#3 on the mitigation plan noted
no fill requested due to the modifying the alignment to avoid the existing
wetlands The service drive was constructed straight rather than diverting
around the existing wetlands The straight service drive alignment

►
�mpacted 900 square feet(0 02 ac)of wetlands This amount has been
included in the above impact tabie and modifies the total nparian (non-
coastal)wetland impact area to 11 005 square feet(0 25 ac)
The compensatory mitigation rates to NCEEP are m 0 25 acre
increments This application formally requests to�nclude the additional
900 square feet (0 02 ac)of wetland impact to the permitted 10105
square feet(0 23 ac) impacts The m lieu fee payment wdl be made to
NCEEP m the amount of 0 25 acre based on the current Fee Schedule for
Ripar�an Wetland — Higher Fee catalogmg unit
CLH Design submitted an In lieu Fee Request Form to NCEEP They
reviewed the submittal and provided an acceptance letter

DESCRIPTION OF PRQJECT (List alt proposed construction and land disturbance)
Title The North Cacol�na Aquarium at Pine ICnoll Shores Educational Reef Ball Prolect
Purpose The purpose o� the pro�ect �s ta provide a permanent habftat for �uveni�e and recreut�ng coastal
organisms and ta provide an educational program for the snork�l�ng public The pro�ect will be xrr�plemented by
tnstalling 12 reef balls in the subnaerged shalfow waters of Bogue Sound near the aquarium s dock
I3ackground The mission o�the North CaroIina Aquariunn at Pine Knoll Shores is to �nsp�re appreciation and
conservation of North Carolina s aquatic env�rorux�ents Our aqnariurr� provides extensive publtc education on
aquatic re`sources Education is accomplished through aquarium exlubits interactive learning presentations and
shows and field trxps In an etfort to cont►nue #o d�versify our programs and keep the pubiic engaged the
aquarium has been �ooking for a way to erthance our field program We currently conduc� on and off site field�
trips to the various aquatic environments of coastal North Carolina �ur on site field trips include kayaktng
trips and snorkeling activities conducted �n Bogue Saund fxorn the dock behin� our aquanum faeility The
Bogue So�nd environ�r►ent �ncludes sandy an;d muddy bottoxns salt marsh habrtat clam beds scattered sea
grasses and a few oysters Successful reef ball pra�ects in the area includmg those conducted by the North
Carolina Coastal �ederation at Cartezet Communtty ColIege and by Duke Universcty at DMF reef srtes have
inspzred the aquarium to install reef balls as a ha6itat restoration/enhancement and education pro�ect The
Aquar�um has established a DMF reseaFCh sanctuazy �n the area su�roundFng the dock for the purpose of
cond�cting these rypes of pzo�ects and activrties
Pro�ect S�gni�canee and Benefit In the summer the sound side env�ronment is naturaliy turbid mucIa of the
time Snorkelers can view scattered sea grass beds c[ams oysters and the fouling eornmunrty on our dock
p�lings However due to the low vistbzlrty our educators wouEd I�ke to supply the snorkelers wtth Icnown focal
po�nts where they can vie�v the high diverszty of organisms asmg the saund rn a more natural reef or fouting
type community con�gurahon The reef balls would provide an accelerated habrtat recruitment mecharusm that
somewhat mim�cs natural hardbottorn habttats that have 6een �n decline (e g oyster reefs} They woutd also

gzve the pubfic a chance to part�cipate in a monatoring proJect to trac� t�ie growth coverage and diversity on r
these reefs thraughout the season
