17. DIRECTIONS TO THE SITE
A boat is required to access the site. The direction to the USCG Emerald Isle station: From the town of Emerald Isle. Head west on Emerald
Drive toward Burlington Street (5.9 mi). At the traffic circle, take the 2nd exit and stay on Emerald Drive (0.4 mi). Turn left onto Coast Guard
Road (2.2 mi). Turn left to stay on Coast Guard Road (0.2 mi). Turn right onto Station Street (0.1 mi). Slight right onto Terrell Home III Way
(358 ft). Must go through security gate into parking lot. The site is a short boat ride from the station.
18. Nature of Activity (Description of project, include all features)
In 2008, the USCG obtained a 404 permit (SAW-2007-03344) that authorized dredging the USCG navigation channel to ensure access to the
USACE federally maintained navigation channel. The USCG navigation channel is -6 feet MLLW, with 2 feet of allowable overdepth, by 90
feet wide. Due to the dynamic nature of the area, the USCG navigation channel follows naturally occurring deep water and currently extends
approximately 4,000 to 5,000 feet north of the basin. The USCG is proposing an additional channel route to the southwest. This alternative
would also include a new approximately 300 linear -foot "shortcut" channel to connect the southwest route to the current USCG channel.
The methods of dredging for accomplishing the work includes hydraulic pipeline dredge, mechanical (clamshell) dredge, government -owned
sidecast dredge, and government -owned special purpose (hopper) dredge.
Placement options include side casting, nearshore and beach placement within existing placement areas on the western end of Emerald Isle,
and confined upland Placement Areas 60 and 61.
See supplemental information.
19. Project Purpose (Describe the reason or purpose of the project, see instructions)
The purpose of the project is to provide a safe, reliable navigation channel for the USCG to access the open ocean through Bogue Inlet for at
least the next 10 years. The proposed route would increase maintenance dredging flexibility for the USCG Station Emerald Isle navigation
channel near Bogue Inlet, on the western end of Emerald Isle, Carteret County, NC. The USCG is limited to only one option for connecting to
the federal channel. This project would provide the USCG with a second option, which is a route to the southwest. Adding a second option for
the USCG to navigate to the federal channel, would give the USCG two routes to exit the Station and connect to the federal channel providing
more flexibility in accessing the federal channel and providing a direct route to Bogue Inlet, following natural deep water (see suppl. info.).
USE BLOCKS 20-23 IF DREDGED AND/OR FILL MATERIAL IS TO BE DISCHARGED
20. Reason(s) for Discharge
Discharge/disposal of dredged material generated from dredging of USCG Station Emerald Isle navigation channel. All sediments in the
vicinity of the north and southwest routes have been sampled and tested and all material to be dredged has less than 10% fines (>/=90% sand)
and therefore is not likely to produce significant turbidity. Beneficial use of dredged material will help to keep these valuable sediments
within the system and potentially decrease rates of erosion and habitat loss. Placement of beach quality material in the nearshore and on
beaches may reduce risks from the effects of storm surge and high tides to existing shorelines and upland habitat areas.
21. Type(s) of Material Being Discharged and the Amount of Each Type in Cubic Yards:
Type Type Type
Amount in Cubic Yards Amount in Cubic Yards Amount in Cubic Yards
>/=90% sand, up to 17,500 CY dependent upon event See supplemental Information
22. Surface Area in Acres of Wetlands or Other Waters Filled (see instructions)
Acres The area impacted is dependent upon individual dredging event. Total proj. cubic yards — = 8,000 - 17,500 (see suppl. info, Attach 44)
or
Linear Feet Approx 4,000-5,000 feet (see supplemental information, Attachment #3)
23. Description of Avoidance, Minimization, and Compensation (see instructions)
We are proposing observance of annual environmental windows (Nov 16 - Mar 31). Material placement/discharge would use previously used
sites (excepting the new 300' shortcut section; see supplemental information) or, in case of temporary upland discharge, in an area that has no
adverse impacts to waters or wetlands (USACE disposal areas PA-60 & PA-61; see supplemental information and Attachments #3 & 4).
Following environmental windows, the project is anticipated minimize any potential impacts, therefore no mitigation is necessary.
