Field Investigation Report
NC State University Department of Biology
Page 02
9 Narrative Description
The NC State University Department of Biology project is located along Harbor Drive and
located within an unnamed tributary of Spooners Creek Harbor Drive is found by
traveling east along Hwy 24 and is located directly across from the Wal Mart Highway 24
stoplight The project site is approximately 1 100 feet on the right from the Hwy24 /Harbor
Drive intersection
The total length of the shoreline for this is 300 The project area is 500 square feet in its
entirety There are coastal wetlands located onsite however the propsed location of the
fish antennae would not affect the coastal wetlands The coastal wetlands consist
predominately of Spartina patens (salt meadow cordgrass) Juncus roemerianus (black
needlerush) and Spartma alterniflora (smooth cordgrass) The high ground is comprised of
cedar pines and scrub bushes
The 9/28/2007 Morehead City Land Use Plan classifies this property as medium density
residential with all parts of the AEC classified Conservation Spooners Creek is not
designated as Primary Nursery Area and is closed to the taking of shellfish The unnamed
tributary is also not classified as a Primary Nursery Area and is open to the taking of
shellfish The Spooners Creek tributary is approximately 9 wide and carries a water
classification of SA/HQW This tributary is connected to Spooners Creek via a road
culvert It is tidally influenced however terminates approximately 350 from the fish
antennas proposed location Substrate in the Spooners Creek tributary is comprised of
sand and silt No SAV s were observed within the proposal project area however scattered
oysters were observed Water depths within both project areas are < 6 inches nlw
10 Protect Description
The current proposal is for the placement of three antennae with control kiosk at the mouth
of the existing culvert for a 36 month time frame
The fish antennae are 3 wide by 6 long and constructed of 8 OD schedule 40 PVC
There would be 1/4 inch plastic mesh weir placed along both banks adjacent to the antennae
as well Due to the narrowness (< 9 wide) and shallow water depths ( <6 nlw) within this
project area as well as the termination of the ditch branch a few hundred feet away this
area has not been traditionally used for any type of boat or canoe use
11 Anticipated Impacts
The fish antennae would incorporate a total of 54 ftZ of shallow bottom Due to the low
profile characteristics of the antennae and infrequent use of these areas by the public the
Division does not anticipate interference to navigation or public use or impacts to the
scattered oysters within the area The antennae will be removed after 36 months
Name Heather Styron Date 2/7/12 Morehead City

Narrati,, e for Harbor Drive site
We are commencing a study of movement growth and production of small estuarine fish with
the use of passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags A PIT tag is a small electromagnetic chip
that gets inserted into fish To detect a tagged fish the fish needs to pass through a coil of wire
encased in a loop of 6 inch PVC We need to temporarily place three loops of PVC in the creek
The use of three PVC loops (as opposed to one or two) allows us to better determine
directionality of movement in and out of the creek Each loop of PVC is 1 m high and 2 m long
The loops will be placed near the road culvert passing under the creek Loops will not obstruct
fish passage or water flow and will be removed at the end of the 36 month study
