FROM: Maria T. 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).

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
