Dunn, Coastal Coordinator Habitat Conservation Division DATE: June 23, 2021 SUBJECT: CAMA Dredge/Fill Permit Application for Ronald Barrow, fender County, North Carolina. Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) reviewed the permit application with regard to impacts on fish and wildlife resources. The project site is located at 104 Sound View Drive adjacent the ATWW in Hampstead, NC. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Coastal Area Management Act (G.S. 113A-100 through 113A-128), as amended, Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act, as amended, the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.), the Magnuson -Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (FCMA), as amended (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. 703-712 et seq.). The applicant proposes to construct a new three slip docking facility. The 545' by 6' access pier would have a 12' by 12' uncovered platform located half -way the distance of the pier, constructed over open water but surrounded by marsh. The access pier would the continue and terminate in a "L" platform, approximately 13' by 13' with a 13' by 13' boat lift and 24' by 8' floating dock. Slips one and two would be perpendicular to the shore and between the fixed platform and floating dock. An 8' by 5' jet ski lift would be installed along the northeastern side of the walkway. The length of all structures would be waterward the existing pier headline, approximately 105' from marsh edge. Water depths in the vicinity of the slips are -2.5' to -2.11' MLW. The area is recognized as a submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) habitat area, though no plants were seen within the slip footprint during the NC Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM) site visit. The AIWW in this area is classified SA by the Environmental Management Commission and is designated a Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the NC Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF). Mailing Address: Habitat Conservation • 1721 Mail Service Center • Raleigh, NC 27699-1721 Telephone: (919) 707-0220 • Fax: (919) 707-0028 Page 2 The NCWRC has reviewed the permit application and does not object to permit issuance. The project area has numerous important environmental resources, such as coastal wetlands, PNA habitats, and SAV. Therefore, we request the following best management practices to minimize impacts to these environmental resources: • The project has wetlands in the area that will likely be impacted during construction. Wetlands provide important water quality functions and habitat opportunities to PNAs. To minimize impacts to this resource, an April 1 — September 30 in -water moratorium should be placed on the project. This includes construction in open water and over wetlands or lands regularly inundated. Matting should be used to minimize the effects of temporary impacts from heavy equipment during construction. • Shoaling may occur along the banks of the AIWW within the project vicinity. The placement of structures in this area may increase the amount of sediment accretion at the docking facility. Due to the classification of this area as PNA, any future requests for dredging in the area will be denied. We request the applicant to fully evaluate this issue prior to creating these environmental impacts. We appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on this permit application. if you need further assistance or additional information, please contact me at (252) 948-3916 or at maria.dunn@newildlife.org
