8. PROJECT SUMMARY:
The applicant is proposing to construct a 24-slip private/community docking facility with a
structural pedestrian water access, upland gazebo, bulkhead replacement, dredging for the
proposed slips as well as an individual residential pier with one boat slip to serve the single-
family residence which would not be associated with the BOBC HOA dock. There is a single-
family residence with a pier on the east side of the tract. The community docking facility
would serve as an amenity for the Bluffs on Broad Creek (BOBC) Subdivision. The total
number of slips for the community docking facility and the single-family individual docking
facility would not exceed 25.
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
The South State Development, LLC proposal for the Bluffs on Broad Creek is located at 215
Pearson Circle, Newport, Carteret County. The existing 0.65-acre tract is located off Highway
24, turning south onto Pearson Circle entrance. Broad Creek runs along the east side of the
property. The property has approximately 655 linear feet of shoreline along Broad Creek. On
the south side of the property, most upland vegetation consists of shrubs and lawn grasses.
There is a 0.7-acre (I 172sgft) elevated hummock in the northern portion of the tract contains
transitional upland vegetation such as sea oxeye, pines, junipers, wax myrtle, and yaupon.
Coastal wetlands contain primarily Spartina alterniflora and Juncus romerianus with sparse
presence of Spartina patens and Salicornia virginica. There are no submerged aquatic
vegetation present in the area and minimum oyster population present. The project area is not
designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA), but PNA is present approximately a 1/4 mile
north of the project area in Broad Creek. The waters of Broad Creek are classified as SA,
HQW. Broad Creek is permanently closed to the harvest of shellfish. The marked channel of
Broad Creek has a depth of -4 feet NLW. The water body is approximately 864' feet wide at
the project site. Water depths around the proposed boat slips range from -1.1 feet normal low
water (NLW) nearshore and descends to -2.9 feet NLW at the proposed dock's offshore
terminus. The bottom substrate is soft unconsolidated sediment.
The tract has a old concrete boat ramp, an existing 212' wooden bulkhead, and a permitted
single-family residence on the southern end of the tract.
10. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The current proposal is for the development of a residential community docking facility as an
amenity to The Bluffs on Broad Creek (BOBC) Subdivision. A riparian easement was deeded
to the BOBC HOA. An approximately 130'x6' wide slatted structural accessway elevated 36"
above marsh substrate would connect the BOBC community in the deeded easement. The
accessway would start by road rights -of -way and proceed east across the marsh approximately
35' in length. The access would connect onto a 10' x 12' deck platform on the upland area
located outside of the CAMA 30' buffer. The dock access would resume waterward bearing
southeast approximately 95' to the dock.
The proposed dock contains 24, 14'x26' slips with 12'xI2' lifts. Each pair of slips would share a
4'x26' finger pier for a total of 14 finger piers. The entire length of the dock will extend 216'
from the waterward edge of coastal wetlands. The proposal would incorporate 10,296sgft. The
docking facility would not incorporate marina services except for the appropriate electrical

power required for lighting and boatlifts and a water supply line.
A proposed 70'x80' parking area for the docking facility will be located outside the CAMA
Area of Environmental Concern. The proposed dock parking area would be in the Bluffs on
Broad Creek (BOBC) on BOBC subdivision common area between Lots 29 and 20. The
parking area would be located outside of any CAMA Area of Environmental Concern and
stormwater buffer area. The water access and dock would be exclusively for the BOBC
property owners. The designated parking would meet Carteret County's minimum parking
spaces requirement, or 11 spaces in this case. The driveway to the parking area would be 24'
wide. The 70' x 80' parking area and the access to the parking would be constructed with 4"
inches of 957 stone placed over filter fabric. The access road and parking area would be
located outside the 50' stormwater vegetated setback. A 6' wide x 340' long elevated and
slatted structural accessway would provide pedestrian access to the docking facility. Dock
construction would be by work barge and mechanized equipment utilizing a vibralory head
attachment for the pile embedment.
The existing 212' wooden bulkhead will be refaced with vinyl and have an upland area of
disturbance limited to 25' from the bulkhead. Backfill would be from an upland source.
The development will also have bottom excavation of approximately 7200 square feet within
the western portion of the proposed docking facility. The near -shore water depths at the
proposed dock location are -1.1 to -1.7 feet NL.W. An average of 2 feet of substrate bottom
would be excavated to achieve adequate water depth of -3 NLW, for a total of 533 cubic yards
of excavated material. The connecting water depth of Broad Creek is 4° NLW at the marked
channel. The bottom excavation would be done by clam -shell bucket to barge and offloaded at
the existing ramp area. Sedimentation control measures would be in place to prevent sediment
spillage from entering adjacent wetlands and waterbody. Excavation would a minimum of 10'
feet from the edge of any coastal wetlands. Spoil material would be stored offsite on upland
property owned by the applicant.
The applicants are also proposing an individual residential pier with one boat slip which would
not be associated with the BOBC HOA dock and would serve only the single-family residence.
The 6' wide dock would extend waterward 72' from the bulkhead to the waterward end of the
dock platform. The platform would be a flag -shaped 12' x 12' (144sf) platform extending to
the north at the terminus of the dock. The boat slip would be a 13' x 13' boat lift on the north
side of the platform. The water depth at the area of the proposed single-family dock platform
and boat lift is approximately -2' NLW. The dock would be a minimum of 16' or greater from
the south riparian access line shared with the Smith's.
11. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The proposed docks, platforms, boatlifts and finger piers would shade and incorporate 11,832sgft
of estuarine bottom and Public Trust open water. The pier would shade and incorporate 225sgft
over coastal wetlands. The gazebo located on the elevated hummock will be 264sgft with a 1'
overhang in the CAMA AEC. There will be 7200sgft of shallow bottom dredging under the
proposed docking facility for a total of approximately 533 cubic yards of removed material. The
dock would be within the pier -head alignment which was established by the Division of Coastal

excavation would be "bucket to barge" method with offloading occurring at the existing boat ramp onto dump trucks. Spoils would
be placed offsite on an upland location on property owned by South State Development. Appropriate containment methods such as
sediment fencing would be installed prior to offloading spoils to prevent spillage from going back into the waterbody or runoff into
adjacent wetlands. Excavation would be a minimum of 10' or greater from any wetlands or existing structures. All structural water
accessways would be elevated a minimum of 36" inches above the marsh substrate to the bottom of the decking. The proposed viny
sheeting for the bulkhead refacing would be done by mechanized equipment with vibratory pile driving head attachments.
Development Activities Narrative Specifics:
Please see the attached Project Site Description and Project Narrative for complete details.
Application Narrative:
South State Development, LLC is proposing a private residential community
docking facility to serve as an amenity to the Bluffs on Broad Creek (BOBC)
Subdivision. The property is located off Hwy 24, turning south onto the Pearson
Circle entrance adjacent to Broad Creek, and is located about a quarter mile on
the left (east) at 215 Pearson Circle, Newport, in Carteret County. The owner of
the .65-acre tract, Horizons East, LLC, has provided a deeded easement for the
Bluffs on Broad Creek (BOBC) property owners to access the water and docking
facilities. The easement is on the north end of 215 Pearson Circle.
The water dependent amenities would include a structural water access, a gazebo
with deck on the water access, and a private 24-slip, non -transient, the Bluffs
on Broad Creek residential community docking facility. Off -site parking would be
provided within the Bluffs on Broad Creek subdivision with a structural
pedestrian accessway from the parking area to the dock. The property has 655
linear feet of shoreline frontage along Broad Creek. Broad Creek is contiguous
to Bogue Sound to the south. It is bordered to the north by the Miller's
residential property, to the east by Broad Creek, to the south by the Smith's
residential property, and to the west by Pearson Circle and the recently
developed Bluffs on Broad Creek subdivision on the west side of Pearson Circle.
The water body is approximately 864' feet wide at the project site. Water depths
around the proposed boat slips range from -1.1 feet normal low water (NLW)
nearshore and descends to -2.9 feet NLW at the proposed dock's offshore
terminus. The bottom substrate is soft unconsolidated sediment. There are
coastal wetlands on the property primarily populated by Spartina alterniflora
and Juncus romerianus. There is an upland vegetation transitional zone along the

perimeter of the elevated hummock in the northern half of the property. There
are no Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) present in the project area as per the
initial SAV assessment and a sparce oyster population along the edge of the
marsh shoreline. This is not a Primary Nursery Area (PNA) although there is a
PNA located .23 mile to the north of Broad Creek Bridge. The waters of Broad
Creek are classified as SA, HQW. Broad Creek is permanently closed to the
harvest of shellfish. The marked channel of Broad Creek has a depth of -4 feet
NLW.
At the time of this narrative, except for an existing concrete boat ramp and
existing wooden bulkhead, the property is vacant and undeveloped, however, there
is a permitted single-family residence under construction on the southern end of
the tract. The northern portion of the property consists mainly of coastal
wetlands and woody transitional shrub wetland vegetation. There is a 1,172
square feet area (.07 acre) upland hummock. The hummock consists of pines,
junipers, wax myrtle, and yaupon. Smooth Cordgrass and Black Needlerush wetland
species surround the perimeter. The vacant upland area on the south of the tract
has an approximate elevation of 4' NHW and is vegetated with yard grass. There
is an existing dilapidated concrete boat ramp on this section and an existing
wooden bulkhead that is nearing the end of its useful life.
South State Development, LLC is proposing to construct a residential community
docking facility as an amenity to The Bluffs on Broad Creek (BOBC) subdivision.
The docking facility would be accessed through a riparian easement deeded to the
BOBC homeowners' association (DB 1784, P. 270). The proposed structural
water-accessway would be 6' in width, slatted deck construction, and elevated a
minimum of 3' above the marsh substrate to the bottom of the access decking. The
access would start at or near the road rights -of -way and proceed east across the
marsh approximately 35' in length. The access would connect onto a 10' x 12'
deck platform on the upland area located outside of the CAMA 30' buffer. The
dock access would resume waterward bearing southeast approximately 95' to the
dock.
This location was chosen to provide ample open space between neighboring docks
and to minimize excavation due to a sediment shoal along the north end of the
riparian access area. The 6' wide dock would extend 216' from the waterward
edge of the marsh which would comply with the "%width rule" at the project's
location. The dock would consist of 24 boat slips to accommodate Class 1-, or
16' to 24'-foot center console type boats. Each slip would be 14' x 26' and
would have a 12' x 12' boatlift. Each pair of slips would share a common 4' x
26' finger pier, 14 in total, for access to each boat slip. The dock proposal
complies with the 27sf rule [NCAC 7H .0208 for residential development by using
10,296 square feet [(198 x 26)*2] of the allowable 17,685 square feet (655 If of
shoreline x 27). The docking facility would not provide marina services (i.e.,
fuel) but would provide electrical power for lighting and boatlifts and a water
supply line. The dock would be within the pier -head alignment which was
established by the Division of Coastal Management. The docking facility would be
maintained by the BOBC HOA once the HOA assumes ownership.
The proposed dock parking area would be in the Bluffs on Broad Creek (BOBC) on
BOBC subdivision common area between Lots 29 and 20. The parking area would be
located outside of any CAMA Area of Environmental Concern and stormwater buffer
area. The water access and dock would be exclusively for the BOBC property
owners. The designated parking would meet Carteret County's minimum parking
spaces requirement, or 11 spaces in this case. The driveway to the parking area
would be 24' wide. The 70' x 80' parking area and the access to the parking
would be constructed with 4" inches of #57 stone placed over filter fabric. The
access road and parking area would be located outside the 50' stormwater
vegetated setback. A 6' wide x 340' long elevated and slatted structural
accessway would provide pedestrian access to the docking facility. Dock

construction would be by work barge and mechanized equipment utilizing a
vibratory head attachment for the pile embedment.
There are no re -development plans for the existing dilapidated concrete boat
ramp. The existing 212 linear foot wooden bulkhead would remain in place and
would be refaced with vinyl sheeting immediately adjacent to the existing wall.
There would be a 25' tie -back corridor landward of the proposed vinyl refacing.
Backfill, if needed, would be from an upland source. Mechanized equipment with a
vibratory head attachment would be used to drive the vinyl sheeting.
Bottom excavation would be anticipated in a 7,200 square feet rectangular -shaped
area within the dock and boat slip area. The near -shore water depths at the
proposed dock location are -1.1 to -1.7 feet NLW. An average of 2 feet of
substrate bottom would be excavated to achieve adequate water depth of -3 NLW,
for a total of 533 cubic yards of excavated material. The connecting water depth
of Broad Creek is -4' NLW at the marked channel. The bottom excavation would be
done by clam -shell bucket to barge and off loaded at the existing ramp area.
Sedimentation control measures would be in place to prevent sediment spillage
from entering adjacent wetlands and waterbody. Excavation would a minimum of 10'
feet from the edge of any coastal wetlands. Spoil material would be stored
offsite on upland property owned by the applicant.
The applicants are also proposing an individual residential pier with one boat
slip which would not be associated with the BOBC HOA dock and would serve only
the single-family residence. The 6' wide dock would extend waterward 72' from
the bulkhead to the waterward end of the dock platform. The platform would be a
flag -shaped 12' x 12' (144sf) platform extending to the north at the terminus of
the dock. The boat slip would be a 13' x 13' boat lift on the north side of the
platform. The water depth at the area of the proposed single-family dock
platform and boat lift is approximately -2' NLW. The dock would be a minimum of
16' or greater from the south riparian access line shared with the Smith's.
There would be 25 total cumulative number of slips between the community dock
and single-family dock.
The applicants may be considering a dock in the future, adjacent to and south of
the proposed community dock, that would provide 18 to 20 additional slips
exclusively to the residents along Pearson Circle pending Carteret County
approval and interest from the property owners. These slips would be for sale
exclusively to property owners within the original platted subdivisions along
Pearson Circle. The plan for this second dock, while presented at the
interagency scoping meeting, is only tentative at this time. If this plan moves
forward, it would be a separate CAMA permit request, or permit modification, at
a future date.

Project Narrative
The Bluffs on Broad Creek Community Water Access & Dock Amenity
and Single -Family Residence Dock
215 Pearson Circle, Newport, Carteret County
South State Development, LLC
South State Development, LLC is proposing a private residential community docking facility to serve as an
amenity to the Bluffs on Broad Creek (BOBC) Subdivision. The property is located off Hwy 24, turning south
onto the Pearson Circle entrance adjacent to Broad Creek, and is located about a quarter mile on the left (east)
at 215 Pearson Circle, Newport, in Carteret County. The owner of the .65-acre tract, Horizons East, LLC, has
provided a deeded easement for the Bluffs on Broad Creek (BOBC) property owners to access the water and
docking facilities. The easement is on the north end of 215 Pearson Circle.
The water dependent amenities would include a structural water access, a gazebo with deck on the water
access, and a private 24-slip, non -transient, the Bluffs on Broad Creek residential community docking facility.
Off -site parking would be provided within the Bluffs on Broad Creek subdivision with a structural pedestrian
accessway from the parking area to the dock. The property has 655 linear feet of shoreline frontage along
Broad Creek. Broad Creek is contiguous to Bogue Sound to the south. It is bordered to the north by the Miller's
residential property, to the east by Broad Creek, to the south by the Smith's residential property, and to;the
west by Pearson Circle and the recently developed Bluffs on Broad Creek subdivision on the west side of
Pearson Circle.
The water body is approximately 864' feet wide at the project site. Water depths around the proposed boat slips
range from -1.1 feet normal low water (NLW) nearshore and descends to -2.9 feet NLW at the proposed dock's
offshore terminus. The bottom substrate is soft unconsolidated sediment. There are coastal wetlands on the
property primarily populated by Spartina alterniflora and Juncus romerianus. There is an upland vegetation
transitional zone along the perimeter of the elevated hummock in the northern half of the property. There are
no Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) present in the project area as per the initial SAV assessment and a
sparce oyster population along the edge of the marsh shoreline. This is not a Primary Nursery Area (PNA)
although there is a PNA located .23 mile to the north of Broad Creek Bridge, The waters of Broad Creek are
classified as SA, HQW. Broad Creek is permanently closed to the harvest of shellfish. The marked channel of
Broad Creek has a depth of -4 feet NLW.
At the time of this narrative, except for an existing concrete boat ramp and existing wooden bulkhead, the
property is vacant and undeveloped, however, there is a permitted single-family residence under construction
on the southern end of the tract. The northern portion of the property consists mainly of coastal wetlands and
woody transitional shrub wetland vegetation. There is a 1,172 square feet area (.07 acre) upland hummock.
The hummock consists of pines, junipers, wax myrtle, and yaupon. Smooth Cordgrass and Black Needlerush
wetland species surround the perimeter. The vacant upland area on the south of the tract has an approximate
elevation of 4' NHW and is vegetated with yard grass. There is an existing dilapidated concrete boat ramp on
this section and an existing wooden bulkhead that is nearing the end of its useful life.
South State Development, LLC is proposing to construct a residential community docking facility as an amenity
to The Bluffs on Broad Creek (BOBC) subdivision. The docking facility would be accessed through a riparian
easement deeded to the BOBC homeowners' association (DB 1784, P. 270). The proposed structural water-
accessway would be 6' in width, slatted deck construction, and elevated a minimum of 3' above the marsh
604E Cedar Paint Blvd. I Cedar Point, NC 28584 1 [phone]
Firm License Number F-0108 Iwww.tidewaterene.com

substrate to the bottom of the access decking. The access would start at or near the road rights -of -way and
proceed east across the marsh approximately 35' in length. The access would connect onto a 10' x 12' deck
platform on the upland area located outside of the CAMA 30' buffer. The dock access would resume waterward
bearing southeast approximately 95' to the dock,
This location was chosen to provide ample open space between neighboring docks and to minimize excavation
due to a sediment shoal along the north end of the riparian access area, The 6' wide dock would extend 216'
from the waterward edge of the marsh which would comply with the "'/ width rule" at the project's location. The
dock would consist of 24 boat slips to accommodate Class 1-, or 16' to 24'-foot center console type boats. Each
slip would be 14' x 26' and would have a 12' x 12' boatlift, Each pair of slips would share a common 4' x 26'
finger pier, 14 in total, for access to each boat slip. The dock proposal complies with the 27sf rule [NCAC 7H
.0208 for residential development by using 10,296 square feet [(198 x 26)*2] of the allowable 17,685 square
feet (655 If of shoreline x 27). The docking facility would not provide marina services (i.e., fuel) but would provide
electrical power for lighting and boatlifts and a water supply line. The dock would be within the pier -head
alignment which was established by the Division of Coastal Management. The docking facility would be
maintained by the BOBC HOA once the HOA assumes ownership.
The proposed dock parking area would be in the Bluffs on Broad Creels (BOBC) on BOBC subdivision common
area between Lots 29 and 20, The parking area would be located outside of any CAMA Area of Environmental
Concern and stormwater buffer area. The water access and dock would be exclusively for the BOBC property
owners. The designated parking would meet Carteret County's minimum parking spaces requirement, or 11
spaces in this case. The driveway to the parking area would be 24' wide. The 70' x 80' parking area and the
access to the parking would be constructed with 4" inches of #57 stone placed over filter fabric. The access
road and parking area would be located outside the 50' stormwater vegetated setback. A 6' wide x 340' long
elevated and slatted structural accessway would provide pedestrian access to the docking facility. Dock
construction would be by work barge and mechanized equipment utilizing a vibratory head attachment for the
pile embedment.
There are no re -development plans for the existing dilapidated concrete boat ramp. The existing 212 linear foot
wooden bulkhead would remain in place and would be refaced with vinyl sheeting immediately adjacent to the
existing wall. There would be a 25' tie -back corridor landward of the proposed vinyl refacing. Backfill, if needed,
would be from an upland source. Mechanized equipment with a vibratory head attachment would be used to
drive the vinyl sheeting.
Bottom excavation would be anticipated in a 7,200 square feet rectangular -shaped area within the dock and
boat slip area. The near -shore water depths at the proposed dock location are -1.1 to -1,7 feet NLW. An average
of 2 feet of substrate bottom would be excavated to achieve adequate water depth of -3 NLW, for a total of 533
cubic yards of excavated material, The connecting water depth of Broad Creek is 4 NLW at the marked
channel. The bottom excavation would be done by clam -shell bucket to barge and off loaded at the existing
ramp area. Sedimentation control measures would be in place to prevent sediment spillage from entering
adjacent wetlands and waterbody. Excavation would a minimum of 10' feet from the edge of any coastal
wetlands, Spoil material would be stored offsite on upland property owned by the applicant.
The applicants are also proposing an individual residential pier with one boat slip which would not be associated
with the BOBC HOA dock and would serve only the single-family residence. The 6' wide dock would extend
waterward 72' from the bulkhead to the waterward end of the dock platform. The platform would be a flag -
shaped 12' x 12' (144sf) platform extending to the north at the terminus of the dock. The boat slip would be a
13' x 13' boat lift on the north side of the platform. The water depth at the area of the proposed single-family
dock platform and boat lift is approximately -2' NLW. The dock would be a minimum of 16' or greater from the
Page 2 of 4, Bluffs on Broad Creek Community Docking Amenity Proposal

south riparian access line shared with the Smith's. There would be 25 total cumulative number of slips between
the community dock and single-family dock.
The applicants may be considering a dock in the future, adjacent to and south of the proposed community dock,
that would provide 18 to 20 additional slips exclusively to the residents along Pearson Circle pending Carteret
County approval and interest from the property owners. These slips would be for sale exclusively to property
owners within the original platted subdivisions along Pearson Circle. The plan for this second dock, while
presented at the interagency scoping meeting, is only tentative at this time. If this plan moves forward, it would
be a separate CAMA permit request, or permit modification, at a future date.
The project proponent hereby certifies that all information contained herein is true, accurate, and
complete to the best of my knowledge and belief,
The project proponent hereby requests that the certifying authority review and take action on this CWA
401 certification request within the applicable reasonable period of time.

The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as
well as proposed and final designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your
proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the
requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the
Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). If your project area
contains suitable habitat for any of the federally -listed species on this species list, the proposed
action has the potential to adversely affect those species. If suitable habitat is present, surveys
should be conducted to determine the species' presence or absence within the project area. The
use of this species list and/or North Carolina Natural Heritage program data should not be
substituted for actual field surveys.
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested
through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the
ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the
Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to
utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered

04/03/2023
species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or
designated critical habitat.
A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having
similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)
(c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological
evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may
affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended
contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12.
If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that
listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the
agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service
recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed
within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7
consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered
Species Consultation Handbook" at:
http://www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/pdf/TOC-GLOS.PDF
Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species
under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), there are additional responsibilities under the
Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) to
protect native birds from project -related impacts. Any activity, intentional or unintentional,
resulting in take of migratory birds, including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). For more
information regarding these Acts see https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations.php.
The MBTA has no provision for allowing take of migratory birds that may be unintentionally
killed or injured by otherwise lawful activities. It is the responsibility of the project proponent to
comply with these Acts by identifying potential impacts to migratory birds and eagles within
applicable NEPA documents (when there is a federal nexus) or a Bird/Eagle Conservation Plan
(when there is no federal nexus). Proponents should implement conservation measures to avoid
or minimize the production of project -related stressors or minimize the exposure of birds and
their resources to the project -related stressors. For more information on avian stressors and
recommended conservation measures see https://www.fws.gov/birds/bird-enthusiasts/threats-to-
birds.php.
In addition to MBTA and BGEPA, Executive Order 13186: Responsibilities of Federal Agencies
to Protect Migratory Birds, obligates all Federal agencies that engage in or authorize activities
that might affect migratory birds, to minimize those effects and encourage conservation measures
that will improve bird populations. Executive Order 13186 provides for the protection of both
migratory birds and migratory bird habitat. For information regarding the implementation of
Executive Order 13186, please visit https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations/
executive-orders/e0-13186. php.

MIGRATORY BIRDS
Certain birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act! and the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Actz.
Any person or organization who plans or conducts activities that may result in impacts to
migratory birds, eagles, and their habitats should follow appropriate regulations and consider
implementing appropriate conservation measures, as described below.
1. The Migratory Birds Treat. Act of 1918.
2. The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act of 1940.

The birds listed below are birds of particular concern either because they occur on the
USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) list or warrant special attention in your
project location. To learn more about the levels of concern for birds on your list and how this
list is generated, see the FAQ below. This is not a list of every bird you may find in this location,
nor a guarantee that every bird on this list will be found in your project area. To see exact
locations of where birders and the general public have sighted birds in and around your project
area, visit the E-bird data mapping tool (Tip: enter your location, desired date range and a species
on your list). For projects that occur off the Atlantic Coast, additional maps and models detailing
the relative occurrence and abundance of bird species on your list are available. Links to
additional information about Atlantic Coast birds, and other important information about your

The graphs below provide our best understanding of when birds of concern are most likely to be
present in your project area. This information can be used to tailor and schedule your project
activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure you read and understand the
FAQ "Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting
to interpret this report.
Probability of Presence ( 1)

04/03/2023
3
Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s) your
project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4-week
months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey effort (see
below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher
confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high.
How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps:
1. The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in
the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for
that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee
was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is
0.25.
2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of
presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum
probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence
in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12
(0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on
week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2.
3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical
conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the
probability of presence score.
Breeding Season( )
Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time -frame inside which the bird breeds across
its entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project
area.
Survey Effort (1)
Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys
performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of
surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys.
No Data (—)
A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week.
Survey Timeframe
Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant
information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on
all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse.

MIGRATORY BIRDS FAQ
Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts
to migratory birds.
Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize
impacts to all birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly
important when birds are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in
the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very

04/03/2023 5
helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding
in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures or permits
may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of
infrastructure or bird species present on your project site.
What does IPaC use to generate the list of migratory birds that potentially occur in my
specified location?
The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern
(BCQ and other species that may warrant special attention in your project location.
The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian
Knowledge Network (AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding,
and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as
occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as
warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act
requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or
development.
Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your
project area. It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list
of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the Rapid Avian Information
Locator (RAIL)Tool.
What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds
potentially occurring in my specified location?
The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data
provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing
collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets.
Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information
becomes available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and
how to interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me
about these graphs" link.
How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering or migrating in my area?
To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding,
wintering, migrating or year-round), you may query your location using the RAIL Tool and look
at the range maps provided for birds in your area at the bottom of the profiles provided for each
bird in your results. If a bird on your migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated
with it, if that bird does occur in your project area, there may be nests present at some point
within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not
breed in your project area.
What are the levels of concern for migratory birds?

04/03/2023 6
Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern:
1. 'BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern
throughout their range anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands,
Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands);
2. 'BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation
Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and
3. "Non -BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on
your list either because of the Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non -eagles)
potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or activities
(e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing).
Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made,
in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC
species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can
implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles,
please see the FAQs for these topics.
Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects
For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species
and groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the
Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides
birds that may be helpful to you in your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird
model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical
Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic
Outer Continental Shelf project webpage.
Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use
throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this
information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study
and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Lorin.
What if I have eagles on my list?
If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid
violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur.
Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report
The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of
birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for
identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC
use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be
aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that
overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look
carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no
data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey
effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In
contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of

04/03/2023
certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for
identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might
be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you
know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement
conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities,
should presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell
me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory
birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page.

Subject: Initial assessment on SAV presence for major permit at Bluffs on Broad Creek
Attachments: BOBC.amenity site.1.13.23.pdf; Broad Creek SAV Map Image jpg
1:11111111w,
spoke with you just over a week ago to better understand potential DMF concerns for SAV presence
associated with a proposed marina at The Bluff at Broad Creek (BOBC) subdivision in Newport, Carteret
Co. The surveying, engineering, and site design work is being conducted by Tidewater Associates, the group
submitting the major permit with DCM for a 24-slip marina, as part of the overall development. Copied on this
email is Roy Brownlow, the Tidewater Associates representative who can answer questions and provide any
additional details needed for this project. I've attached two images for your reference: (1) the overall BOBC
site plan, showing proposed marina location; and (2) a screenshot of DMF SAV mapping of this region.
My relationship to this project is as a consultant with expertise on coastal habitats, as I've recently retired
from UNC-IMS as a research professor who examined coastal ecosystems (with focus on marsh, seagrass, and
oyster habitat) and their function for over 20 yrs. I've also conducted full SAV assessments for NC DCM major
permits in the past.
Twice, I've visited this site on the western side of Broad Creek in the past few weeks to better understand its
characteristics. The Bluffs on Broad Creek subdivision is being planned for an undeveloped track in the
wooded center of Pearson Circle, east of Rt. 24, immediately south of Broad Creek; the planned building lots
are incised into the upland areas (with buffers) around a feeder creek that flows north to Broad Creek. The
proposed marina would be approximately 320 ft east of where the feeder creek enters Broad Creek and
approximately 150 ft east of an existing small boat ramp (34.719454,-76.944642). 1 was able to view this —375
ft of shoreline from the boat ramp, marsh, and existing bulkheaded lot during sunny, calm winter days while
the water lacked turbidity. While the water is sufficiently shallow (to support SAV) for a 5-6-m band along the
shoreline, the bathymetry quickly becomes deep (>2 m) just beyond this shallow margin. The bottom appears
to be soft and muddy with sparse oyster shell present and much of this shell has algal growth. Although
turbidity was low, water clarity was generally poor due to the presence of tannins and some silt that likely
comes from the feeder creek, as well as from the upper reaches of Broad Creek. The deeper waters of this site
were definitely murky such that I could not see the bottom. NC DMF SAV mapping shows SAV present in the
sandy shallows of the western shores of Bogue Sound, approximately 0.6 Km east of the proposed marina and
along the north shore of Broad Creek, about 0.7 Km away to the northeast, closer to the creek mouth on
apparent sand shoals. In my professional opinion, there is a low probability that this site could support SAV. If
DMF and/or DCM would like a full SAV assessment, I would recommend that rake sampling be conducted
along transects (perpendicular to shore) during the warm season, when SAV would be most likely
detected. However, to be clear, the nearshore shallows currently do not appear to have SAV and the waters
beyond —6m from shore appear to be too deep to support SAV; also, it appears that water clarity of this region
of Broad Creek is insufficient to allow SAV growth.
1

hope that this preliminary assessment of the proposed BOBC marina site is helpful to both DMF and
Tidewater Associates. I would be happy to answer any questions or to conduct any needed assessments as
you all see fit.
Thank you.

TINS FOR ADJACENT RIPARIAN OWNER NOTIFICATION & WAIVER FORMS
CAMA Regulations require notice of proposed development to the Adjacent Riparian Property Owners (I 5A
NCAC 7J.0204(b)(5)). Proof of actual notice (a sign -off by the owner on this form) or certified mail return
receipts (showing delivery of notice) are needed.
The purpose of this notice is to make adjacent riparian property owners aware of the proposed development
so that they have an opportunity to provide comments (or potentially object to) the proposed development,
and to give DCM an opportunity to consider these comments/objections before a permit decision is made.
"Permission" of adjacent property.owners is not necessaril re uired for DCM to issue a permit; however,
permission must be obtained for certain types of proposed developments if they fall within a f 5' setback
area along the riparian access area of the adjacent property, as determined solely by DCM. It is in the
applicant's best interest to provide comprehensive and accurate notice so that any concerns or objections
can be resolved early in the permit review process. In addition, if the adjacent riparian property owner
appeals the permit decision, insufficient notice could be a basis for granting such an appeal.
Who is an Adjacent Riparian Property Owner?
What is Adjacent? (Note: DCM reads this broadly to ensure comment by potentially impacted neighbors)
• A property that shares a boundary line with the site of proposed development; AND
• A property that fronts a natural or manmade waterbody that is connected to coastal waters and
can support some form of navigation, even a kayak or canoe, including a common canal system
or a manmade basin.
• Easement holders? Yes, if the easement could be impacted by the proposed development,
• Streets/Roads? Only if the street/road could be impacted by the proposed development. This
might include street -ends which might be used for parking and beach access.
• Holders of recognized submerged lands claimslshel[fish franchises,
What is Riparian?
Do the boundaries of the adjacent property legally intersect with the water at mean high tide? If there is a
question about whether an adjacent property is considered "riparian," please reach out to DCM Staff -
especially on the oceanfront beach where there may be undeveloped parcels on the beach or in the water.
Who/What is a Property Owner?
For private individuals (or families), send notice to the address listed on the tax card. if the property is
owned by an Inc. or LLC, please send notice to the person listed as the registered agent on the NC
Secretary of State's Corporations took Up site: https:llwww.sosnc.gov/search/index/corp. For
Condominiums or neighborhoods with an owners' association (HOAIPOA), send notice to the association
(which is usually a corporation, for which you send notice to its registered agent).
What is Notice, and how do I ensure it is received?
• You can meet with your adjacent property owner, provide a description or drawing of the
proposed development, and ask them to sign this form and return it to DCM; OR
• You can hand -deliver this form and a description or drawing, and ask your neighbor to return it to
DCM (consider providing them with a stamped envelope); OR
• You can mail this form by LISPS Certified Mail, return receipt requested (the Green Card). If you
choose this option, you must provide either the signed & returned green card OR track the
certified mail package number on USPS.GOV's online tracking system, and provide the tracking
print-out as proof of delivery to DCM
If you have any questions about this process, please reach out to DCM Staff and DCM Legal Counsel
and we will work to answer your questions.

permission must be obtained for certain types of proposed developments if they fail within a 15' setback
area along the riparian access area of the adjacent property, as determined solely by DCM. It is in the
applicant's best interest to provide comprehensive and accurate notice so that any concerns or objections
can be resolved early in the permit review process. In addition, if the adjacent riparian property owner
appeals the permit decision, insufficient notice could be a basis for granting such an appeal.
Who is an Adjacent Riparian Property Owner?
What is Adjacent? (Note: DCM reads this broad[ to ensure comment by potentiallyimpacted neighbor
• A property that shares a boundary line with the site of proposed development; AND
• A property that fronts a natural or manmade waterbody that is connected to coastal waters and
can support some form of navigation, even a kayak or canoe, including a common canal system
or a manmade basin.
• Easement holders? Yes, if the easement could be impacted by the proposed development.
• Streets/Roads? Only if the street/road could be impacted by the proposed development. This
might include street -ends which might be used for parking and beach access.
• Holders of recognized submerged lands claims/shellfish franchises.
What is Riparian?
Do the boundaries of the adjacent property legally intersect with the water at mean high tide? If there is a
question about whether an adjacent property is considered "riparian," please reach out to DCM Staff -
especially on the oceanfront beach where there may be undeveloped parcels on the beach or in the water.
Who[What is a Property Owner?
For private individuals (or families), send notice to the address listed on the tax card. If the property is
owned by an Inc. or LLC, please send notice to the person listed as the registered agent on the NC
Secretary of State's Corporations Look Up site: https://www.sosnc.gov/search/index/corp. For
Condominiums or neighborhoods with an owners' association (HOAIPOA), send notice to the association
(which is usually a corporation, for which you send notice to its registered agent).
What is Notice, and how do I ensure it is received?
• You can meet with your adjacent property owner, provide a description or drawing of the
proposed development, and ask them to sign this form and return it to DCM; OR
• You can hand -deliver this form and a description or drawing, and ask your neighbor to return it to
DCM (consider providing them with a stamped envelope); OR
• You can mail this form by USPS Certified Mail, return receipt requested (the Green Card). If you
choose this option, you must provide either the signed & returned green card OR track the
certified mail package number on USPS.GOV's online tracking system, and provide the tracking
print-out as proof of delivery to DCM
If you have any questions about this process, please reach out to DCM Staff and DCM Legal Counsel
and we will work to answer your questions.
