NC Division of Marine Fisheries- c/o Larry Hardy /Greg Bodnar

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project site is known as Artificial Reef # 360, or AR -360, and specific information on the reef's
composition can be found by visiting the NC Division of Marine Fisheries website (found at
http:/ /portal nedenr.org/web /mf /lookout - fear /ar- 360 - reef). Generally speaking, the existing reef lies in
waters approximately 40' -45' deep, approximately 3.0 nautical miles northeast of the New Topsail Inlet
sea buoy, within the Atlantic Ocean. The center of the site is located at 33° 21.017 "N and 77 °36.183 "W.
The entire site encompasses approximately 178 acres in area. The area is surrounded by approximately
24 acres of natural bottom in various stages of stability (aggregate to defined rock outcrops) and the
applicant proposes to work within a 1.68 acre grid, which would be located a minimum of 200' from any
natural hard bottom areas.
The waters of the Atlantic Ocean are classified as SB by the NC Division of Water Quality and they are
not designated as Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the NC Division of Marine Fisheries.
PROPOSED PROJECT:
The North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries is seeking authorization to enhance an existing
artificial reef (AR -360) The project includes the deposition of 150 "Eternal Reef Balls" (to be discussed
later), 150 "Ultra, Pallet and Bay Reef Balls ".
According to the application package and project narrative, the reef site, once expanded, would
encompass approximately 178 acres of near shore bottom. As previously mentioned, the existing reef
would be expanded, by way of the creation of a 1.68 acre grid that would consist of the aforementioned
reef balls. The eternal reef balls (which contain a small "pearl" of cremated ashes that are encapsulated
in the concrete), ultra, pallet and bay balls would be individually installed within the "grid" and would
each have a footprint of approximately 13 -24 sq. ft. According to the applicant, the minimum footprint
of 150 bay reef balls would be 1,065 sq. ft and the maximum footprint of 150 ultra reef balls would be
approximately 3,570 sq. ft.
While a deployment contractor has not yet been determined, the Division of Marine Fisheries has
committed to have a staff member on -site to monitor the project and ensure that the materials are being
deployed within the interment section described. Additionally, the applicant states that side scan data
would be collected after deployment to ensure that materials were deployed within the area(s) specified.
As the site is already numbered and visible (i.e. contains a yellow buoy noting that it is an artificial reef),
the NC Division of Marine Fisheries does not anticipate the installation of additional visual buoys.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
Approximately 17 acres of Public Trust Area and Estuarine Waters would be filled as a result of this
project. Temporary increases in turbidity could be expected to result from the project. It does not appear
that the project would cause a hazard to navigation.

Project Narrative
AR -360 Topsail Reef
NC Division of Marine Fisheries
Artificial Reef Program
Artificial Reef AR -360 is located off Topsail Beach in Pender County, approximately 3 nautical miles
northeast of New Topsail Inlet in approximately 44 feet of seawater (Figure 1) North Carolina Division of
Marine Fisheries (DMF) is the permit holder for all artificial reefs in North Carolina In addition to the US Army
Corp of Engineers General permit # 198500194, this proposed enhancement and boundary expansion requires
a CAMA permit due to AR -360's location within North Carolina state waters.
The objectives of this permit are to- 1) Expand the reef site, 2) Bring past deployments on the reef site
into compliance, 3) Identify protocols for natural bottom occurrences on reef site, and 4) Describe new
enhancements.
The current reef site is 105 acres in size and has 48,700 tires, 23 Pallet Reef Balls, 9 Internment Reef
Balls, one prefabricated concrete "H" unit, and 2 patch reefs of reinforced concrete pipe (2.75 and 0.26 acres)
Only the 140 tons (0.26 acres) of concrete pipe lies within the permitted reef site (Figure 2). Therefore we
propose to expand the current reef site to accommodate the permitted reef site and the existing material
The proposed expansion will increase the reef site to approximately 178 acres, which will place all existing
material within the expanded reef site and allow for additional enhancements. Any new enhancements will
not be deployed within 100 feet of the 178 acre boundary to avoid unintended deployment outside the newly
permitted boundary
In the recent past materials common to artificial reef construction were placed on AR -360 without a
current CAMA permit due to unintended oversight. At the time of discovery discussions were initiated by the
DMF with The NC Division of Coastal Management (DCM) to correct this oversight and bring AR -360 into
compliance Discussions were conducted with David Moye, Debbie Wilson and Jason Dail of DCM. The results
of those discussions are displayed in this permit request to expand the reef site to accommodate existing
materials.
The expanded reef site has approximately 24 acres of natural bottom in various stages of stability
Natural bottom or hard bottom is defined aggregately as areas of exposed rock or consolidated sediments that
are distinguishable from surrounding unconsolidated sediments, colonized by algae, sponges, corals, and
other sessile organisms to varying extents (SAFMC 1998 and Street 2005) Discussions with DCM and NOAA
were conducted to develop protocols when natural bottom is involved An agreement was set to not deploy
artificial reef materials within 200 feet of existing hard bottom Hard bottom has been identified through side
scan sonar assessments of the reef site and have been identified as red polygons on all pertinent figures.
Those designated areas will not be impacted by any enhancements
A 1.68 acre grid has been established for the deployment of internment reef balls contracted through
Eternal Reefs, Inc (Figures 3 and 4) Eternal Reef internment balls contain a small "pearl" of cremated ashes
that are encapsulated within the concrete The EPA has determined that this process utilizes the ashes as an
inert concrete additive and adheres to regulations regarding ocean dumping. Please refer to the Appendix A
for reference material and the accompanying Review of artificial reef sitting procedures for AR -360 for
additional information concerning reefing materials, essential fish habitat, species of note, and potential
impacts The grid has space available for 150 Eternal Reef BaIISTM (Ultra, Pallet and Bay) to be deployed during
the permit timeframe. Individual footprint of each Reef BaIITM unit is- Ultra (23.8ft2), Pallet (12.6ft2), and Bay
(7 1ft2) . Due to the unknown amounts of each unit to be deployed, a minimum, maximum and mean footprint
was calculated. The minimum footprint of 150 Bay Reef BaIISTM is 1,065ft2, and the maximum foot pK ftb9146
OCM WILMINGTON, NC

Ultra Reef BallsTM is 3,570ft2, with a mean footprint of 2,317 5ft2 To conform to the hard bottom agreement,
the grid is at least 200 feet from hard bottom identifiable from side scan sonar images.
Deployment of the internment Reef BaIISTI will be conducted by a contractor yet to be determined.
DMF artificial reef staff will be on site for every deployment to ensure that materials are deployed within the
internment section described in Figures 3 and 4. DMF artificial reef staff will mark the intended area with high
flyer markers to provide a visible area on the water's surface This area will be the intended target to deploy
the internment Reef BaIIST"" This deployment procedure has been utilized in the past with success. Side scan
data will be collected after deployments to ensure that materials were deployed within the area specified.
A public comment meeting was held on March 20th, 2014 at North Topsail Town Hall to discuss the
proposed objectives with interested stakeholders. There were no objections voiced during the meeting.
