Subject: Cape Lookout Marina, Inc. Project
401 Bayview Drive
Harker's Island, N. C.
We have received a request from Cape Lookout Marina Inc. by Edward F. Richards, to
comment about his project. We are adjacent property owners. We object to the proposal
due to the impact the project will have on our property and the environment.
Our property value will be greatly reduced due to the large size of both the wet marina
and dry stack facility.
Negative environmental issues of great concern are noise, storm water, boat pollution,
dredging, trash, fighting, septic tank problems and the destruction of wetlands.
The costs to the environment will be great, as this project will obviously have a negative
impact on shellfish, fish and other water resources.
Again, we are totally opposed to the project based on the negative impact on the
surrounding environment and our property.
Sincerely,

401 Bayview Drive. The site consists of 10.6 acres of upland adjacent to Eastmouth Bay,
and 9.9 acres of wetlands and canal system within the bay. The north side of Harker's
Island is riddled with mosquito ditching, and this property is no exception. There are 4
unimproved mosquito ditches on the north east side of the property, and the main ditch to the
west that was improved to create a boat basin and canal prior to the onset of the CAMA in
1978. Several canals in this same area were likewise expanded during the years preceding
the CAMA.
The property line to the west is located in the center of a
less improved ditch. The north side of the tract is
primarily vegetated with Spartina alterniflora along the
ditches, for a width of approximately 800'. Peninsulas
created from the spoil of the original canal excavation line
both sides of the canal. A narrow fringe of Section 404
Wetlands lines the peninsulas and
° the south side of the mosquito
ditches. Landward of this fringe,
there are areas of high coastal " marsh that do not contain soils
ss.
sufficient to be designated as k Section 404 wetlands, and yet do
interact with the waters of the bay. The remainder of the property is
upland, cleared, and previously A t' disturbed.
The upland portion of the tract averages +5' msl, and is
vegetated with common grasses. As stated above, the basin, r"' ► "
canal, and residence were developed prior to 1978. The 1978 1'
aerial photograph shows 15 trailers located on the peninsula area _
around the basin. According to the records, the basin and canal
were dug in anticipation of a federa 1 project to be located within
Eastmouth Bay. This project never came about. By the 1984
photography, most of the trailers were no longer present. The 1989 photography shows the
evolution of the site to a boat construction facility, and in fact there is
a vessel under construction shown on the photo.
The 1995 photography shows this operation IF,1
continuing, and what appears to be the same
vessel under construction. By the 2000�,�„
photograph, and continuing to the present, the
commercial ventures are abandoned, and the
single residence and relic concrete pads from the
previous businesses are all that remain. Y

During the years, previous property owners have engaged the review agencies in various
requests. In the mid 19801s, then owner Mr. Theodore Lang, DBA NML Shipbuilders, Inc.,
received 2 Notices of Violation (#87-01 and #86-64) from this division. The former was for
unauthorized excavation, and the latter was for tin authorized wetland fill. An application
was submitted and circulated to the agencies during this time period requesting the
construction of a new boat manufacturing facility, to include excavation and fill of wetlands,
facility buildings, and bulkheading. After receiving negative agency comments, the
application was retired on August 25, 1988. Also during the mid 19801s, there were several
General Permits issued to Mr. Lang for
maintenance excavation of the canal
and basin a boat ramp,bulkhead ?�t
subdivision, and pipeline of sorts.
There is no indication on file as to
which of these permits were utilized.
•+•b.�.,,,...Currently,
there is a
residence with a septic tank, boat basin
and canal with failing bulkhead, and a
recently constructed small, private
dock.
The request on the table currently has `=
undergone review during the SEPA process via Environmental ;,W.
Impact Statement. The Record of Decision was issued on August
22, 2002, and since that time the applicant has finalized the CAMA Permit Application.
The proposal is for the construction of a marina, comprised of 50 wet slips, 540 dry stack,
with a boardwalk around the perimeter of the basin, and floating and fixed dockage within
the basin. Boats 25' to 40' in length are intended to use the facility. The basin is proposed
for expansion into the high ground and high marsh, as is the canal. Additionally, excavation
of a new, 7100' channel is proposed, leading from the canal through Eastmouth Bay, to the
deeper waters located within Back Sound.
Eastmouth Bay is not designated as a Primary Nursery Area. The waters are open to the
taking of shellfish, with a documented historic use, according to the NC DMF.
Approximately 1/2 mile to the west of the project site within the eastern portion of Westmouth
Bay, there is a sizeable shellfish garden, operated by Carolina Atlantic Seafood Company.
The bay has a considerable population of Zostera marina. The waters carry a stormwater
classification of SA. The Carteret County Land Use Plan has classified the area as Limited
Transition, with all AEC's being classified as Conservation. The width of the bay is
approximately 900' across at the mouth of the canal, increasing as
L. one heads east.
The submitted plats show a section of wetlands on the peninsula to
the Nvest labeled as "marginal coastal wetlands." These areas are in
transition, and while presently being supported mostly by
stormwater ponding, they are

increasingly flooded by the ca nal to the west. The wetlands are not sufficiently active to be
considered jurisdictional under the CAMA presently. They are noted on the plat at the
request of the Division because of the long-term nature of major permits.
On .Tune 04, 2002, two representatives of the Division of Coastal Management performed
informal sampling of Eastmouth Bay in the vicinity of the proposed access channel. The
results are as follows:
The near shore enviroruneill immediately east of the mouth ofthe channel consists of
peat and ,and with a dense root mat and rhizomes. Juvenile flounder were seen. Leaving
the shore, the root mat was less dense and the substrate had 4" to 6" of silt over sand.
Slightly further, from approximately 40' offshore to 130' offshore at this s amc location the
substrate became progressively more organic, with thicker lavers of fines. Marsh roof ruat.
SAV rhizomes, sea squirts, parchment tube worms, and oyster hash were common.
Relocating to 100' cast of` the channel and
moving in 10' segments oft' shore, the near shore
area was sand and shell, and beginning at
approximately 2W offshore, the substrate was siltier
with peat, mussels, SAV rhizomes, parchment tube
worms. At about 60' offshore, there were live
oysters. At about 105' offshore, t here was indication
of a kicked channel area, ►with 1' of silt over a
vegetative root mat. This deepened until

The substrate was firm bill silty.
1'liere were numerous crab pots within
Eastmouth Bay. Many boats passed during the field investigation, despite the fact that the
visit started 2 hours before low tide, and continue.(] almost until low tide. Extremc turbidity
was caused by each passing vessel sufficient to block all visibility. Approximately 1000' froru
the mouth of the canal, all evidence of kicking terminated.
On October 16, 2003, a field inspection was made to confirm changes made to the
application and plats. This visit was made at 8:00 AM, which was during the low tide phase
at the site. Several 17' and 19' skiffs passed from Westniouth Ray through Lastinouth Bay
heading to Back Sound.

Aerial photography through the years confirms the continued and dynamic presence of
submerged vegetation within Eastmouth Bay. The aerials also reveal the fine composition of
the sediments, i.e., the 1995 photo shows a very t urbid stream from the passing of a boat.
In July of 2001, the applicant had benthic samples taken 10' and 30' north and south of the
proposed channel centerline. A total of 128 sites were sampled. lostera marina was found
at 5% of the sites, 3% within the proposed channel. The results are attached. The applicant
took dissolved oxygen levels as part of the SEPA process, which revealed 4.33 to 5.96 mg/l
within the canal during a 2 week time period between August 30 and Sept 15 (enclosed).
The specific proposal for this project is as follows:
In the general vicinity of the existing concrete pads, the applicant proposes to construct two
dry stack boat storage buildings, one to house 240 boats and the other to house 300 boats.
There will be a workshop for minor maintenance and repairs, a ship store, 6 restrooms,
showers, offices, fuel service, and a wastewater pumpout. Another 4 restrooms will be
provided within a building located on the peninsula to the west of the basin. The fuel
dispenser, holding tank, and pumpout are shown adjacent to the bulkhead in the southeast
corner of the basin. Asphalt parking is proposed adjacent to Island Road and along the
peninsula to the west. A total of 140 spaces are provided.
The proposal is to enlarge the existing septic system and pump across the street to another
septic field. This plan has received Carteret County Health Department approval.
Approximately 2375 gallons per day of potable water will be required for the marina
operation. This will be obtained from the local municipal system.
The existing, failing bulkhead is to be removed. The existing basin, 150' x 105', will be
enlarged to 285' x 172'. The existing 860' x 75' canal will be widened on both sides for the
end result of a canal 118' in width. The basin and canal will be stabilized with a new vinyl
or concrete bulkhead, totaling approximately 2700' in length. A "drop zone" with travel lift
to launch the boats from the dry stack facility is to be located on the east side of the basin.
This area will be approximately 260' x 60' on average, and will abut the bulkhead. Besides
the "drop zones" located within the basin, there are floating docks for offloading and
temporary mooring. The 7' wide floats total 120' in length, and the 6' wide float s total 590'
in length. There are 25 fixed finger docks proposed in the basin and canal, averaging 4' x
201, with 75 associated mooring pilings. Within the basin, 13 slips are proposed, and within
the canal 37 slips. The slips will accommodate boats fro m 25' to 40' in size.
There are 6 walkways proposed from the parking lot to the marina, averaging 45' to 50'
long, and 6' in width. A drip -thru boardwalk is proposed for a length of 1567' around the
perimeter of the basin, with .a width of 6'. Overnight dockage will be allowed within the
basin and canal with a lease requiring a locked head.
Hydraulic dredging of the basin and canal are requested from the existing depth of -3.4' to
-4' nlw to a finished depth of -5' nlw. This area will be excavated wi th a box cut design for
equal bottom and top cut widths. A spoil area will be constructed in the area of the
proposed

Field Investigation Report
Cape Lookout Marina, Inc.lEdward and Robert Richards
Page 6
dry stack buildings, with approximate dimensions of 350' x 310', with 7.5' of freeboard.
This facility will have the capacity for approximately 30, 139 cubic yards of material.
A smaller spoil area for future maintenance is proposed on the peninsula to the west of the
basin. This area will be approxi mately 310' x 60' with 7.5' of freeboard, and will
accommodate approximately 5167 cubic yards of material.
From the mouth of the existing canal for a distance of approximately 150', there is an
unauthorized, informally excavated channel. Extending for another 1000' ± there is a less
defined area that shows evidence of prop wash. Aerial photography and field inspections
indicate this feature to average 9' to 15' in width. Current soundings show approximately
-2' at nlw.
The applicant is proposing to excavate a new channel from the mouth of the canal for a
distance eastward of 7100'. This feature is intended to connect to the existing -5' bottom
contour within Back Sound. The application states that current soundings within this area
average from -2.4' nlw to -3.9' nlw. The request is for a consistent bottom depth of -5' nlw.
The requested top width of the new channel is 40' for the entirety of the distance, with
bottom widths ranging from 19' -33'. Approximately 21,700 cubic yards of material will be
removed to accomplish this, with the anticipation of another 3900 cubic yards every 5 years.
This material will be removed hydraulically and deposited into the large spoil area initially,
using the maintenance area after the initial dig. It is anticipated that this spoil will be
removed from the site after drying. Twenty-six channel markers and 4 no -wake signs are
proposed along the 7100' channel.
The NC Division of Water Quality has approved a Stormwater Management Plan for this
proposed development. No Sedimentation/Erosion Control Plan has yet been submitted to
the Division of Land Resources.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The upland portion of this marina facility will require the grading and filling of 7.4 acres,
with a finished impervious area totaling <29% within 75' of Eastmouth Bay, and 25%
overall. Approximately 5135 sf of high marsh will be excavated by the widening of the
canal, which will also require the conversion of approximately 30, 749 sf of high ground to
an open water system. Approximately 2360 sf of low marsh will be excavated for the basin
expansion. This marsh is landward of the existing bulkhead that is functioning as a
breakwater. The remainder of the proposal will cause the filling of approximately 1600 sf of
high marsh. The area shown as marginal wetlands will be filled, but is not presently
considered to be interacting with the estuarine system. The canal, basin, and new channel
will require the disturbance of approximately 323,000 sf of shallow bottom habitat within the
system, 39,000 sf of which is maintenance excavation within the existing canal and basin.
The docking system will shade approximately 6380 sf of newly created open water system.
The 7100' of new excavation through Eastmouth Bay is clearly proposed within SAV ha bitat,
although it is possible that the activity may bypass the actual vegetation at the time of
dredging. While the

Field Investigation Report
Cape Lookout Marina, Inc.lEdward and Robert Richards
Page 7
proposed channel is located within active shellfish waters, the actual channel cut may not
disturb the resource. Turbidity will be an issue during excavation, as the bay substrate is
very fine and lends itself to re -suspension easily. Turbidity may also be a continuing issue as
impatient boaters on bu sy weekends utilize the shallower areas outside of the channel during
sufficient and semi -sufficient tides. This use could cause the ongoing re -suspension of fines
into the water column with the associated changes to temperature, sunlight penetration,
oxygen availability, etc. The project itself has the possibility to greatly increase the boating
use of Eastmouth Bay, with the addition of 590 boats. This impact extends to Cape Lookout,
the selling destination of the project, with the addition of several hundred weekend visitors.
Parking may be a problem, as the County requirements are .6 spaces for each wet or dry
slip, and 1 slip per employee. This formula would indicate the need for 354 slips plus those
for employees. The proposal, which maximizes av ailable space, allots 140 spaces.
This project is proposed for phasing over an 8 -year period.

PRO.)ECT NARRATIVE
September 29, 2003
Summary
The proposed development on Harkers Island is an upland wet slip/dry stack marina on a
previously developed site on Eastmouth Bay. Previous development of the site included
a multiple unit mobile home park with multiple septic tanks. This was later redeveloped
as a commercial boat building facility. The 20.47-acre development site consists of 10.6
acres of upland, 2.49 acres of canal and basin, and 7.38 acres of coastal wetlands.
The- proposed development includes enlarging the basin and canal; -dredging anew
channel, constructing 50 wet slips; and, over an 8 to 10 year period, erecting two dry
stack buildings with a 540-boat capacity. The facility will market to boats between 25
and 40 feet in length.
An Environmental Assessment was submitted on March 26, 2001 and comments were
received from the Division of Coastal Management, Division of Marine Fisheries,
Shellfish Sanitation Branch, and Division of Water Quality. DEIS comments were
received from these agencies and the Division of Environmental Health, On -site
Wastewater Section and were responded to on January 25, 2002 and March 12, 2002.
State Clearinghouse review was initiated on April 19, 2002 through publication in the
State Bulletin. Comments from the Clearinghouse review were responded to and the
Final EIS was submitted to Clearinghouse on June 18, 2002. Clearinghouse review of
the FEIS was completed August 2, and the Record of Decision was issued on August 22,
2002. An Essential Fish Habitat Assessment has been completed and will be submitted
to th Corps of Engineers.
Existing Sit
The proposed development on Harkers Island is an upland wet slip/dry stack marina on a
previously developed site. Previous development of the site included a multiple unit
mobile home park with multiple septic tanks. This was later redeveloped as a

commercial boat building facility. The boat works was mostly open with three large
concrete pads. Eroded banks on the basin/canal and drainage ditches from road culverts
to the east and west direct stormwater to surface waters. Three concrete pads comprising
1.07 acres are present in the southeast portion of the site. Combined with the house and
driveway in the same portion of the tract, the existing impervious cover of the 10.6-acre
up]and area is 10.1%.
All boat building and support facilities (except the concrete pads) have been removed
from the site. The site is 20.47 acres in total with 7.38 acres of coastal wetlands, a canal
and basin of 2.49 acres of water and 10.6 acres of upland area_ There are an existing
residence, two approved septic tank sites, and an existing 75 foot wide, +/- 4 foot deep
MLW (-4.6' MSL) upland canal connecting to Eastmouth Bay with a wooden bulkheaded
"T" basin measuring 150 x105 feet. (Note: NC Geodedic Survey reports that MLW is -
0.59 feet from MSL at Shell Point.)
An existing, unauthorized 150-foot "channel" runs northeast from the mouth of the canal
and extends for approximately 1,500 as a "kicked channel" . It is variable in depth along
its lengnh from -2.4 to -3 .9 feet MLW (-3.0' to -4.5' MSL) and is subject to shoaling at the
mouth of the existing canal. The "channel" and others in Westmouth Bay have existed at
least since 1978, as they are visible on DCM's 1978 aerial photograph of the area.
Proposed Marina�Qevelopment
The preferred alternative is a marina/dry stack and a proposed new channel 40 feet wide,
-5 feet MLW (-5.6' MSL), and 7,100 feet long connecting to -5 feet MLW (-5.6' MSL) in
Eastmouth Bay. Aviodance, minimization and mitigation measures have been
incorporated in the proposed development.
■ Impacts to 404 wetlands have been avoided through site design and 2,595
square feet of fringe coastal wetlands along the existing, upland canal will
be lost to dredging.
■ Direct impacts to shellfish beds SAV have been avoided in proposed
channel alignment.
■ The "preferred alternative" described in the Draft EIS was modified to
reflect agency comments as described in Alternative 7. The "preferred
alternative" was further modified based on additional agency comments
on the DEIS and incorporated in the FEIS.
■ Impervious surface coverage has been reduced from 32.4% to 25%.
■ The DEIS reduced the number of wet slips from 85 to 75. Based on
comments, additional reduction of slips eliminates 25 slips for a proposed

total of 50 wet slips.
■ The DEIS moved the slip footprint back from the mouth of the canal and
shellfish areas from 60 to 325 feet. In response to comments, the slip
footprint has been moved further back for a distance of 360 feet from the
canal mouth.
■ Closure of shellfish areas has been avoided through the reduction in
number of wet slips to 50 and increasing the distance from the canal
mouth of 360 feet.
■ A locked head policy will be enforced and be incorporated into the
facility's lease agreement.
■ Notices will be posted and guidelines adopted regarding sea turtle
protection and reporting of sightings.
■ A Spill Prevention and Response Plan will be in place at the facility.
■ Existing wooden bulkhead material containing CCA (copper -chrome -
arsenate) will be removed and replaced with concrete and/or vinyl.
■ No Wake Zones for Eastmouth Bay and entrance channel will be proposed
and a No Wake Policy will be incorporated into the facility's tease
agreements.
■ Of the 132 sample sites, only two at the outer limits showed "sparce"
Zostera within the alignment. The outer portion of the proposed channel
alignment (eastern end of Harker's Island) has been shifted approximately
100 feet to the northeast providing additional buffer to sampled and
mapped SA V in the area.
IN A Stormwater Management Plan has been approved by the Division of
Water Quality (SW8 030826).
The project proposes new dredging of the 1,650-foot segment to a consistent depth of -5
feet MLW (- 5.6 MSL) and width of40 feet. This segment will continue eastward as new
dredging for a total distance of 7,100 feet, 5 feet deep and 40 feet wide, and the entire
length is referred to as the "proposed channel". Dredged widths at the bottom range
from 19.4 to 33.1 feet and 4.1 acres of bottom will be disturbed. A turbidity curtain will
be used at the mouth of the canal to protect coastal wetlands and shellfish.
The canal will be widened an additional 15-20 feet on the west bank to accommodate 37
wet slips and an additional 30 feet on the east bank (no wet slips). The final canal

dimensions will be l 18 feet x 860 feet. The basin will also be enlarged to 172 feet x 285
feet and provide 13 wet slips and floating docks for staging, provisioning, fueling and
waste pump out. Two, 30-foot wide boat drop zones for dry stack access will be located
adjacent to the dry storage facility. The footprint of the basin/canal will be
approximately 156,330 sf. The canal and basin will be bulkheaded with concrete and/or
vinyl.
Of the 21,400 cubic yards of dredged material from the basin and canal, approximately
12,000 cubic yards will be used for building foundations, landscaping and initially for
berm construction on the southeast portion of the site to retain material from the channel
enlargement. The 19,500 cubic yards from new channel dredging will be hydraulically
placed in the upland bermed site (28,221 cubic yard capacity), de -watered and removed
by local contractors for residential and commercial landscaping.
Based on records of maintenance dredging for the Back Sound to Lookout Bight Channel
from the Corps of Engineers, maintenance volumes approach 20% of the original volume
on an average of every five years. Though the Navigation Branch has suggested that the
percentage and frequency would be lower in Eastmouth Bay, applying the 20% to the
proposed new channel volume would indicate a need for disposal of approximately 3,900
cubic yards. An area on the western peninsula has been set aside for future maintenance
volumes which has a capacity for 4,532 cubic yards. The diked spoil area would allow
for de -watering, and the material would be hauled off -site for landscaping and fill.
The proposed Marina will provide dockage for boats in the range of 25 to 40 feet. Dry stack
buildings will be constructed to the east of the basin in three phases over an eight to 10 year
period. Phase I will provide 50 wet slips, Phase 11 will add 300 dry stack units, and Phase
III will add 240 dry stack units. An area will be available for routine boat maintenance, such
as washing and engine care, but no major maintenance will be conducted. A ship's store
will be adjacent to the dry stack facility providing; offices for the Harbor Master and
administrative activities as well as sales of boating and fishing supplies, drinks, groceries
and prepackaged foods. Public restroo€rts and shower facilities for dry stack customers will
also be located in the ship's store building. Access and parking will be located to the south
between the facility and Bayview Drive and to the west.
Water supply, estimated at 2,375 gallons per day, will be from the public system on Harkers
Island . Domestic wastewater will be treated in an approved on -site septic tank (capacity
of 600 gpd, County Health Department Improvement Permit # R 1628, June 22, 1999) and
a second approved septic tank (capacity of 1440 gpd; Improvement Permit # A 6613,
November 2, 2000) on an adjacent lot to the south, owned by the applicant. Wastewater
from the pump out facility from and other flows above the 2,040 gpd capacity will be
handled by an approved "Wastewater Storage and Transfer Facility" (estimated to be less
than 500 gpd). A locked head policy will be enforced and be incorporated in the slip leasing
document.
Spill response procedures will be written into a Spill Prevention and Response Plan, and put

in place at the Marina. These procedures will include information such as prevention,
materials management, a contingency plan, and response procedures including the steps to
take to secure leaks or stop migration of spilled oil; contact phone numbers of agencies,
contractors, fire department, etc.; and a list of materials available on site for spill control and
clean up.
The proposed stormwater management system for the preferred alternative will includes a
combination of the following items allowed for development with 25% or less built upon
area. The design will include a 30-foot wide vegetative buffer from the mean high water
line, perpendicular from the shoreline. The stormwater management plan utilazes sheet flow
over vegetated areas as conveyance of treated stormwater runoff via 3 sand filters. The plan
has been approved by the Division of Water Quality (SW8 030826).
