Re: Maintenance Dredging, USCG Facility, Emerald Isle, Carteret County, ER 07-2129
Dear Mr. Bashaw:
Thank you for your correspondence of May 19, 2023, received May 25, 2023, regarding the above -referenced
undertaking. We would like to take the opportunity to offer the following comments.
After reviewing the information provided from An Archaeological Remote Sensing Survey of the U.S. Coast Guard
Access Channel, Emerald Isle, North Carolina, (May 27, 2008) conducted by Mid -Atlantic Technology and
Environmental Research, Inc., it is our opinion that the proposed new "shortcut" USCG navigational route has been
adequately assessed for the presence of unknown submerged cultural resources.
Despite Bogue Inlet being an area of high potential for cultural resources associated with historic maritime activity,
the 2008 survey indicates a low probability of encountering unknown resources within the Area of Potential Effect
that may be potentially eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. We, therefore, concur with the
Corps' determination that the proposed dredging of the additional USCG navigation route described in the August
2022 Environmental Assessment should have no effect on historic properties. If unknown cultural resources (i.e.,
shipwreck remains, etc.) are encountered, dredging operations should cease immediately in that area and professional
staff at our office be contacted to make an assessment before work continues in that location.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the Advisory
Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comment, contact
Renee Gledhill -Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919-814-6579 or environmental.review&ncdcr.gov. In
all future communication concerning this project, please cite the above referenced tracking number.

SUBJECT: CD07-108 - Consistency Concurrence for the for Proposed Maintenance Dredging of
the Boat Basin and Entrance Channel at the USCG Emerald Isle Facility, Emerald
Isle, Carteret County, North Carolina (DCM#20070093)
Dear Mr. Peters:
We received your consistency determination on October 2, 2007 for the proposed maintenance
dredging, on an as needed basis, of the boat basin and entrance channel at the US Coast Guard facility
in Emerald Isle, Carteret County, North Carolina for a period of ten (10) years. The proposed project
involves the removal of accumulated sediments to reestablish the project depth (-6 feet MLLW with 2
feet of allowable overdepth) by ninety (90) feet wide.
North Carolina's coastal zone management program consists of, but is not limited to, the Coastal Area
Management Act, the State's Dredge and Fill Law, Chapter 7 of Title 15A of North Carolina's
Administrative Code, and the land use plan of the County and/or local municipality in which the
proposed project is located. It is the objective of the Division of Coastal Management (DCM) to
manage the State's coastal resources to ensure that proposed Federal activities would be compatible
with safeguarding and perpetuating the biological, social, economic, and aesthetic values of the State's
coastal waters.
To solicit public comments, DCM circulated a description of the proposed project to State agencies
that would have a regulatory interest. No comments asserting that the proposed activity would be
inconsistent with the State's coastal management program were received. Copies of the comments
received have been attached.
DCM has reviewed the submitted information pursuant to the management objectives and enforceable
policies of Subchapters 7H and 7M of Chapter 7 of Title 15A of North Carolina's Administrative
Code which are a part of the State's certified coastal management program and concurs, as
conditioned below, that the proposed Federal activity is consistent, to the maximum extent practicable,
with the enforceable policies of North Carolina's coastal management program.

In order to be found consistent with North Carolina's coastal management, the US Coast Guard shall
comply with the following conditions of concurrence.
• In no case shall the depth of excavation exceed the depth of connecting waters.
• No excavation shall take place outside of the dredging area identified in the Environmental
Assessment.
• All spoil material must be disposed of at permitted locations discussed in the environmental
assessment. Non —beach quality sand needs to be placed in a confined upland facility.
• Prior to disposing any material onto DA-60 the USCG shall coordinate and receive the
approval of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC).
• To improve shorebird habitat and minimize the effect of frequent beach disposal (at the
proposed disposal sites) the NCWRC recommends the occasional use of the Bogue Inlet Shoal
(Island #2) west of Bogue Inlet Channel and north of the eastern end of Bear Island. Prior to
disposing of any material at this location the USCG shall coordinate and receive the approval
of the DCM and NCWRC.
• The proposed work shall not impede navigation or create undue interference with access to, or
use of, public trust areas or estuarine waters.
• In order to protect sea turtle populations, no excavation or filling of beach areas shall be
permitted between May I st and Nov, 15th of any year without the prior approval of the DCM,
in consultation with the NCWRC.
• In order to protect shorebirds during the nesting season no dredging operations shall be
permitted between April I" and Nov. 15°i of any year without the prior approval of the
Division of Coastal Management, in consultation with the NCWRC
• In order to protect marine resources, no dredging operations will be permitted from April 1"
and July 31" of any year without the prior approval of the Division of Coastal Management, in
consultation with the Division of Marine Fisheries.
• Prior to initiating any beach disposal that may be allowed during the period of April 1"
through October 31 ` of any year, the Coast Guard shall notify the Shellfish Sanitation and
Recreational Water Quality Section of the North Carolina Division of Environmental Health
to allow the posting of swimming advisories, if necessary, before beach disposal is initiated.
• Any mitigative measures or environmental commitments specifically made by the applicant in
the Environmental Assessment for this project should be implemented, regardless of whether
or not such commitments are addressed by individual conditions of this concurrence.
• This consistency concurrence expires ten years from the date of issuance. The USCG will
need to submit a consistency determination and receive a consistency concurrence from DCM
prior to implementing any dredging operations after the expiration date.
This letter of concurrence is contingent on the Federal agency agreeing with the conditions stated
above. In the event that the Federal agency does not agree with the conditions of concurrence, this
letter effectively becomes a letter of State "Objection". Should the Federal agency not agree with the
conditions stated above, a letter of non -agreement should be sent to DCM. The procedures of 15 CFR
930.43 would then need to be followed.
Based on the comments received DCM has determined that the USCG may implement the
suggestion of the NCWRC to occasionally use the Bogue Inlet Shoal (Island #2) west of Bogue
Inlet Channel and north of the eastern end of Bear Island as a dredge material disposal site as a means
of improving shorebird habitat and minimizing the effect of frequent beach disposal (at the proposed
disposal sites). Prior to disposing of any material at this location the USCG shall coordinate and
receive the approval of the DCM and NCWRC.
Page: 2

Additionally, in response to the request of the Town of Emerald Isle, the USCG may dispose of beach
quality material as proposed by the Town of Emerald Isle in their letter of October 16, 2007 provided
that the disposal operation complies with all the conditions of approval and with the prior approval of
DCM in consultation with the NCWRC. Please be advised that the consistency concurrence only
applies to the work performed by the USCG. Any work to be performed by the Town of Emerald Isle
will require the issuance of a CAMA permit before that work can be initiated.
Should the proposed action be modified, a revised consistency determination could be necessary. This
might take the form of either a supplemental consistency determination pursuant to 15 CFR 930.46, or
a new consistency determination pursuant to 15 CFR 930.36. Likewise, if further project assessments
reveal environmental effects not previously considered by the proposed development, a supplemental
consistency certification may be required. If you have any questions, please contact Stephen Rynas at
252-808-2808. Thank you for your consideration of the North Carolina Coastal Management
Program.

Dear Ms. Owens:
We received your consistency submission on June 25, 2018, concerning the proposed USCG Station.
Emerald Isle maintenance dredging project, for as -needed maintenance dredging of the facility's basin and
channel for a ten-year period. This proposal requests renewal of the Division of Coastal Management's
(DCM) consistency concurrence dated November 2, 2007 (DCM#20070093) that expired on November 2,
2017.
North Carolina's coastal zone management program consists of, but is not limited to, the Coastal Area

In order to be found consistent with North Carolina's coastal. management program, the USACE shall
comply with the following conditions.
• In order to reduce potential negative impacts to larval and juvenile fishes and shellfish, dredging
operations shall observe a moratorium on in -water work from April 1- September 30 of any year.
• In order to reduce impacts to juvenile fishes that are located in the surf zone on the oceanfront,
beach placement of dredge spoils shall observe the April 1-September 30 moratorium of any year.
• In order to protect shorebirds during the nesting season, the NC Wildlife Resources Commission
(NCWRC) recommends a moratorium of April 1- November 15 of any year, especially if material
is to be placed on the western end of Emerald Isle. If operations should extend beyond the April 1
date, NCWRC requests contractors to work closely with NCWRC to minimize impacts.
• NCWRC recommends consideration of an additional site for occasional use for disposal of beach
quality material at Bogue Inlet Shoal• (i.e. Island 2), located west of Bogue Inlet channel and north
of the eastern end of Bear Island. Use of an alternate site would have the benefit of restoring
waterbird habitat and offsetting negative impacts of frequent beach disposal during the bird
nesting window.
• Prior to the initiation of any excavation and/or spoil disposal activities, the USACE shall contact
the Division of Marine Fisheries, Shellfish Sanitation and Recreational Water Quality Section, to
determine, if temporary shellfish or swimming advisories are required.
This consistency concurrence expires ten years from date of issuance. The USCG or USACE will need to
submit a consistency determination and receive a consistency concurrence from DCM prior to the
implementing any dredging operations after the expiration date.
Prior to . the initiation of the activities described, the applicant should obtain any other required State
approvals or authorizations. Should the proposed action be modified further, a revised consistency
determination could be necessary. This might take the form of either a supplemental consistency
determination pursuant to 15 CFR 930,46, or a new consistency determination pursuant to 15 CFR 930.36.
Likewise, if further project assessments reveal environmental effects not previously considered by the
proposed development, a supplemental consistency certification may be required. If you have any

Thank you, Emily,
We have addressed each of your questions below and have attached supporting/referenced figures
to this email.
1. The United States Coast Guard (USCG) Station Emerald Isle is located near the mouth of
Bogue Inlet, on the western end of Emerald Isle, Carteret County, North Carolina (Figure 1).
Bogue Inlet is the confluence of the White Oak River and the Atlantic Ocean. The USCG
Station Emerald Isle's facilities include a basin and a navigation channel that runs north -south
(approved USCG route under the 2008 Environmental Assessment; Figure 2, pink dashed line).
The channel extends approximately 4,000 to 5,000 feet to the north of the basin, connecting
to the current US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) federal navigation route (Figure 2, blue
dashed line) between Bogue Inlet and the Atlantic Intercoastal Waterway (AIWW). The
updated project area to be considered in this application includes an additional USCG
navigation route (Figure 2, red dashed line). This additional route runs southwest -northeast
and includes an approximately 300-foot westward "shortcut" channel to connect with the
southwest -northeast route that would provide the USCG swift access to Bogue Inlet. The only
new work would be the 300-foot shortcut to the southwest -northeast route. All other areas
have been previously dredged by USACE over the years as natural deep water has shifted.
Due to the dynamic nature of the area, the navigation routes do, and will continue to, follow
naturally occurring deep water within the project boundary (Figure 2, white polygon) to
ensure the least amount of dredging is required with the least environmental impact for
each event. The Bogue inlet complex has considerably changed over the years through the
local beach renourishment efforts and various storm events. Deep water sloughs that once
existed have moved or shoaled in and new deep water sloughs have formed. It can therefore
be anticipated that the current and proposed USCG routes will migrate to new alignments
within the project boundary over the course of the permit duration (10 years) with all
impacts being temporary. However, the target dimensions of each of these USCG channels
are 6 feet deep mean lower low water (MLLW), with 2 feet of allowable overdepth, by 90
feet wide and will only be dredged when needed and within environmental windows. As of
the current design, the routes would comprise a total of 29.77 acres (15.41 acres northern
route; 13.59 acres southwest route; and 0.77 acres shortcut route). The 300-foot shortcut
channel will be the only dredging considered new work. Depending on the composition of
the dredged material, it will be either side -cast, deposited in an offshore placement area,
pumped onto an upland placement area (Figure 3, PA 60 or PA 61), or piped onto the
existing beach placement area (Figure 3).

2. Please see the current available bathymetry and cross -sectional views in Figure 2; the channel
dimensions will be consistent for any work over the course of the 10-yr permit period. Based
on the latest bathymetry (May 2023) for the southwest route (Figure 2, red dashed line), the
estimated amount of dredged material to be removed for the initial dredging to the project
depth of -6 feet is about 8,148 cubic yards (CY), 17,178 CY of total material with the additional
2-foot overdepth (Figure 2). Of this amount, only about 500 CY will be new work dredging
(300-foot shortcut channel). The volume estimates will be refined and project plans with up-
to-date bathymetry will be developed for the initial dredging event. Likewise, up-to-date
bathymetry will be obtained and plans updated prior to future maintenance events within the
project area.
3. Please refer to Figure 3 for typical beach profile dimensions and location of the expected
beach placement areas over the course of the 10-year permit period. Currently, the length of
the shoreline placement location is about 5,000 feet; however, the initial dredging need of
approximately 17,000 CY would be placed along the beach within an area ranging from about
500 feet to 1,000 feet in length. When pipeline dredge plants are used, the pipeline will be
coordinated with resource agencies and likely routed as it has been in the past with nearby
staging locations on the beach at access points (Figure 3).
4. We removed reference to this potential future placement location as it is not our intention to
assess or request permits to use that area.
5. Designated Critical Habitat for wintering piping plover is present within the project area on
both sides of Bogue Inlet. The NC-10 Bogue Inlet unit includes contiguous land south, west,
and north of Bogue Court to MLLW line of Bogue Inlet on the western end of Bogue Banks. It
includes the sandy shoals north and adjacent to Bogue Banks and the land on Atlantic Ocean
side to MLLW.
Designated Critical Habitat for the loggerhead sea turtle is present within the nearshore area
off Emerald Island. The Recovery Unit LOGG-N-3 consists of nearshore area from Beaufort
Inlet to Bear Inlet (crossing Bogue Inlet) from the MHW line seaward 1 mile (1.6 kilometers).
Also, currently under US Fish and Wildlife (USFWS) consideration is the proposed Critical
Habitat for red knot, posted July 15, 2021. This includes Outer Banks Unit NC-14 and
encompasses approximately 2,030 acres of occupied habitat in Carteret County consisting of
shoreline habitat that stretches about 23 miles (37 kilometers) from the Beaufort Inlet
channel and Fort Macon State Park west to the eastern side of the Bogue Inlet channel.
Though the proposed dredging and placement activities may affect the above -listed species,
the USCG will implement conservation measures and meet conditions of the USFWS 2017
North Carolina Statewide Programmatic Biological Opinion to minimize any potential adverse
impacts to Threatened and Endangered species, and meeting its responsibilities under the
Endangered Species Act (ESA). All dredged material consisting of beach quality sand placed
on beaches will be done in accordance with the designated windows for the protection of

nesting birds and sea turtles (16 November— 31 March). The project will require training and
education of on -site personnel (vessel captain, crew, etc.) of environmental requirements,
and completing work in a manner that will minimize effects to species. All work, including
equipment, staging areas, and placement of materials, will be done in a manner that does
not block access of ESA listed species from moving around or past construction. Equipment
will be staged, placed, and moved in areas and ways that minimize effects to species and
resources in the area, to the maximum extent practicable. All work that may generate
turbidity will be completed in a way that minimizes the risk of turbidity and sedimentation to
the maximum extent practicable. Beach placement will be conducted in a manner that
minimizes turbidity in nearshore waters by using methods that promote settlement before
water returns to the water body (i.e., shore parallel dikes). Turbidity and marine
sedimentation will be further controlled using land -based erosion and sediment control
measures to the maximum extent practicable. Land -based erosion and sediment control
measures will (1) be inspected regularly to remove excess material that could be an
entanglement risk, (2) be removed promptly upon project completion, (3) and will not block
entry to or exit from designated Critical Habitat for ESA -listed species. Lighting associated
with beach placement activities will be minimized through reduction, shielding, lowering,
and/or use of turtle friendly lights, to the extent practicable without compromising safety, to
reduce potential disorientation effects on female sea turtles approaching the nesting
beaches and sea turtle hatchlings making their way seaward from their natal beaches. The
conservation measures will be reevaluated annually and project changes, including time
and/or equipment, may be altered, based on new information and experience.
6. Yes.
