PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to construct a 166 slip marina resort style community including single family residences, townhomes, condominiums, and supporting light commercial around an existing 10-acre lake (reclaimed sand mine), which is proposed to be connected to the Albemarle Sound via a 60 feet wide 8.0 feet deep navigation channel cut through USACE jurisdictional 404-wetlands and open water bottom substrate. Project Setting The project site is located at 291 West Side Lane (Parcels A & B), Powells Point, Currituck County, and is adjacent to the Albemarle Sound. Parcel A is ±15.95 acres and Parcel B is ±104.2 acres in size (±120.15 acres cumulatively) with most of the property (+/-86 acres) being a mix of wetlands with approximately 20 acres of uplands surrounding an existing reclaimed sand mine lake (barrow pit) excavated in the 1970's. Much of the uplands are maintained grasses, pines, with unimproved soil paths and roads. There is a single-family residential home on the property along with horse barns and paddocks. An existing highground soil road extends from the upland area adjacent to the lake to the shoreline area. The existing lake is ±1,450' in length and ±328' in width (±10.9 acres) and is oriented in a north/south direction and is located >_1,150' inland from the Albemarle Sound shoreline. Existing water depths within the lake range from ±3' to ±17' in depth with an average of ±13'. There are two major wetland types found on site, Riverine Swamp Forest, and Salt/Brackish Marsh with areas of open water. A large swath of Salt/Brackish Marsh (+/- 42 Acres) has been overtaken by Phragmites australis that likely gained a foothold during mining and canal digging that occurred on the property in the past (1970's). The remaining portions of Salt/Brackish Marsh have been delineated as coastal wetlands and are predominately comprised of sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense). At one time in the past, the canals dug through the marsh connected to the Albemarle Sound; however, the remnant canal system is no longer directly connected to the Sound due to the natural formation of sand berms along the shoreline. The project site has ±1800' of shoreline immediately adjacent to the Salt/Brackish Marsh. The shoreline has areas where the wetlands extend to normal water level (NWL) as well as areas that are a sandy beach that ranges in width from several feet to ±20' in width with elevations of 1' or less. There are no existing man-made structures located along the shoreline. The adjacent riparian properties are both undeveloped and similar in wetland composition as the project site. The waters of the Albemarle Sound in this area are considered Coastal Waters, classified as SB, are not considered a primary or secondary nursery, and are closed to shellfish taking. Open water fetch along the project sites shoreline ranges from ±10 to 50 miles. The bottom substrate is sand dominated overlying clays, peat and clayey sands. Near shore areas are predominately relic peat beds with scattered stumps and wood debris originating from the eroding shoreline. West Side Resort, LLC c/o Christopher Coleman Powells Point Harbour Marina Project Field Investigation Report Page 3 of 7 There are also small gravel beds found in some locations along the shoreline/near shore areas. Some small areas of exposed clay exist just past the areas of peat in the near shore. Water depths within the project area range from inches along the shoreline to ±8' below NWL at a distance of ±1,674' waterward of NWL along the shoreline. A Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) survey was conducted by Quible & Associates, P.C. on August 1, 2022 (see Attachment G) in which only one small sparse patch of SAV was found within the project area. Development Proposal The applicant proposes to construct a 160 unit marina resort style community that includes single family residences, townhomes, condominiums, and supporting light commercial around the existing 10-acre lake (boat basin), which is proposed to be connected to the Albemarle Sound via a 60 feet wide and 8.0 foot deep navigation channel. The creation of the marina involves first connecting the existing lake (boat basin) to the Albemarle Sound via a ±1,454' x 60' wide box cut (centerline measurement) canal excavated through both uplands and Phragmites dominated wetlands. The existing lake has waterdepths that are deeper than the proposed connecting water depths of -8.0 feet (relative to NWL). Therefore, ±1 acre of lake will be reshaped to form a more oval shaped basin and the bottom profile filled to achieve a depth of -8.0 ft (NWL). Excavation of the canal will begin at the upland "neck" of the proposed boat basin, first cutting through ±197' of uplands (in a Y-shaped cut), then ±1,096' of USACE jurisdictional wetlands and then through ±161' of upland shoreline area. It will be mechanical and performed by excavators on barges that will load material onto scows located behind (basin side) the excavator. Loaded scows will be pushed by boat into the basin area and the excavated material will be emplaced around the basin to achieve the proposed water depths (±65,000 cu. yds. of material). A plug that is ±40' to ± 50' in thickness will be left separating the canal and basin from the Albemarle Sound. The applicant has indicated that the contractor will stop all excavation of the uplands and canal for a period of approximately two weeks to allow for settling of any fine materials. Turbidity measurements are to be taken to ensure that water quality has stabilized prior to making any connection to the Albemarle Sound. Additional basin shaping may occur during this time. Once the water quality in the basin and canal have stabilized (turbidity < 10 NTU's or as required) dredge operations will proceed through the "plug" and into the Albemarle Sound a distance of ±1,674' from the shoreline to the connective water depth of -8.0 ft. Sediment curtains will be used as necessary to ensure that turbidity in the Albemarle Sound does not exceed NTU requirements. Dredge spoils are anticipated to be comprised of sand, clay, peat and muck. This material will be placed in two 150' x 100' spoil containment areas located within the upland area on either side of the proposed canal connection to the basin. Dredge spoils will be segregated within the containment areas and unsuitable materials will be transported via sealed dump trucks to an offsite disposal area/mining operation with an active SESCP or DEMLR mine permit. Suitable materials will be dried and used as fill material forthe lake and construction in the upland area. The applicant has submitted documentation in regard to a Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Flushing Model (see Attachment C). Based on the reported results of the flushing model and input from SOLitude, 12 aeration heads are proposed to be placed around the marina as shown on Sheet 3 of the development plans. Air would be pumped through tubing to the submerged heads at a predicted and modeled rate of475 kg/day. Technical information related to the proposed aeration system is included in Attachment C. West Side Resort, LLC c/o Christopher Coleman Powells Point Harbour Marina Project Field Investigation Report Page 4 of 7 The applicant proposes to monitor dissolved oxygen within the marina basin and channel at seven monitoring stations on a monthly basis with weekly monitoring during June, July, August, and September (warmest four months of the year). A monitoring plan and proposed monitoring locations are included in Attachment F. Monitoring of DO would be performed to ensure DO concentrations are as predicted in the modeling and allow the marina operator to adjust the diffused aeration system to optimize DO levels in the marina. Two navigation channel markers are proposed to be installed along the open water channel to guide vessels to the canal. Two bulkheads measuring 251' and 213' are proposed along the upland section of the channel cut at the mouth of the basin to stabilize the channel entrance to the basin. These bulkheads will transition to slotted breakwaters with 1" gaps per linear foot (or equivalent) at the wetland interface and will run along each side of the canal cut through wetlands extending to the Albemarle Sound shoreline (due to the angle of the proposed canal, the northern edge of the canal would measure 1,256 linear feet and the southern edge would measure 1,244 linear feet). These breakwaters are proposed to help stabilize the channel, dissipate wave and boat wake energy, but still allow water to flow into and out of the adjacent wetlands. The applicant has indicated that bulkheads and breakwaters will be constructed prior to the canal and basin being connected to the Albemarle Sound. The two breakwaters will transition to solid jetties at the shoreline extending out 150 linear feet along both sides of the open water channel. In addition, jetties of tapering lengths are proposed on each side of the open water channel measuring 80 and 55 linear feet spaced 50 feet apart. There is considerable near shore sediment transport and thejetties are proposed as a measure to limit channel dredge maintenance. A soil parking area is proposed near the shoreline within highground area adjacent to the existing soil road. Two kayak racks are proposed within this area as well as a 250' x 6' wide accessway extending from the parking area over phragmites wetlands to the shoreline, transitioning to a 200' x 6' wide pier with a 50' x 20' wide t-head platform in open waters of the Albemarle Sound. Within the waters of the basin, 166 total boat slips with accompanying piers and finger piers are proposed. This would accommodate one slip for each residence in the community and six slips for transient use. A total of 11 docks are proposed and include (see corresponding dock numbers on sheet 3 of site plans): (1) 141' x 8' floating dock with one 5' long x 8' wide access pier, (2) 145' x 8` floating dock with one 5' long x 8' wide access pier, (3) 123' x 8' floating dock with one 75' long x 6' wide access pier, (4) 340' x 8' floating dock with two 6' long x 8' wide access piers, (5) 119' x 8' floating dock, (6) 326' x 8' floating dock with two 8' long x 8' wide access piers, (7) 160' x 8' floating dock with one 8' long x 6' wide access pier, (8) 160' x 8' floating pier, (9) 558' x 10' floating dock with fueling facilities, (10) 396' x 8' floating dock with three 8' long x 8' wide access piers, (11) 177' x 8' floating dock with one 10' long x 8' wide access pier West Side Resort, LLC c/o Christopher Coleman Powells Point Harbour Marina Project Field Investigation Report Page 5 of 7 A total of 122 floating finger piers are proposed on the above docks: • (34) 12' x 3' • (81)20'x3' • (7) 25' x 3' Fueling facilities are proposed along Dock 9. Two dispensers are proposed along the dock with a fuel line connecting to two underground storage tanks (USTs) located under the proposed parking area adjacent to the boat ramp (described below) and docking facility. Sewage pump - out will be offered for the marina. The pump out will be connected to the proposed wastewater treatment facility that will service the community. "No Overboard Discharge/Sewage Pump out Available" signs will be placed on each of the 11 docking facilities in visible locations. A public boat ramp is proposed to be constructed adjacent to a proposed restaurant. The concrete ramp will extend 52' beyond NWL and will have a 20' width. It will be poured and cured on land and placed into the water once the concrete is dry. No live concrete will be poured below NWL. A 32' x 6' staging pierwill be constructed adjacent to the boat ramp to help facilitate launching and recovery of vessels. A 2,518' x 6' wide wooden boardwalk with 13 accessways (varying from 15' to 36.5' in length), and elevated 3 ft above wetland substrate, is proposed to wrap around the basin to offer pedestrian access to the various piers and slips around the marina. The boardwalk will be constructed along the shoreline over wetlands, but not over the water. A total of 1,265 ft2 of the accessways will be over uplands. The shoreline of the basin will not be hardened and a natural emergent wetland vegetated shelf around the basin will be maintained and promoted. A 105' bulkhead with two 20' wingwalls is proposed to stabilize the area waterward of a proposed restaurant. Proposed community development includes construction of up to 160 total residential units and all required and associated infrastructure (see sheet 3 of site plans). Residential units will be a mix oftownhomes (10 buildings), condos (16 buildings), and single-family units (27 buildings). The proposed marina community includes a ship's store, light retail and a restaurant. As proposed, the total wetland fill impacts for the upland development are ±20,908 ft2 (0.48 acres); which includes filling for road crossings and upland fill to achieve the proposed density, provide adequate stormwater management and provide for all appropriate setbacks. All non -water dependent structures and impervious areas are proposed to be located landward of the 30' CAMA Buffer. Impervious areas within the Estuarine Shoreline AEC total 87,389.1 ft2 (14.8%) and impervious areas for the entire tract total 447,926.8 ft2 (8.6%). Proposed stormwater control features include a wet pond and constructed wetland areas. The applicant has indicated that an NC DEMLR stormwater permit will be sought as part of the development pending the issuance of a CAMA permit. An existing soil road that extends from West Side Lane across the property to the northwest is a deeded easement for and sole point of access to the adjacent property to the northwest. This existing soil road is proposed to be improved with gravel and widened to meet the minimum required drive aisle widths (20 feet minimum) and all-weather driving surfaces suitable for emergency vehicles and fire trucks. This road will continue provide access to the adjacent property as well as provide access to a proposed wastewater treatment plant (described below). Based on a review of historic aerial photography and USGS topographic maps, this West Side Resort, LLC c/o Christopher Coleman Powells Point Harbour Marina Project Field Investigation Report Page 6 of 7 road has been in use since the 1940's and currently crosses a man-made canal (dug in the 1970's), which appears to have been dug in what was once a natural water course. A County required 722 LF pedestrian walkway is also proposed along the north side of the improved gravel road. This walkway will be timber and will not cross any waters. An existing culvert where this road crosses the canal measures 20' in length and 32 inches in diameter and is angled incorrectly and in poor condition. This undersized and damaged culvert does not provide adequate circulation and aquatic passage. A new 35' long 60-inch culvert is proposed to replace the existing culvert and is proposed to be buried a minimum of one foot below the existing canal substrate. Excavation of the old pipe is not expected to impact wetland areas; however, installation of the new culvert will result in the filling of ±351 ft2 of USACE jurisdictional wetlands. Excavated materials will be placed in a temporary 30' x 30' containment area within the adjacent highground area. The development will be served by a proposed 80,000 gpd onsite central wastewater treatment system to be located on the northeast side of the property. Disposal of all clean effluent from the facility will be routed onto the adjacent golf course to a pre -approved area. A force main and pumpstations will be used to service all of the development, as well as the pump out available to the marina, and be routed to the wastewater treatment facility. The full design of the wastewater system will be contingent upon approval for a CAMA Major Permit. Wastewater design will be permitted after through NC DEQ. Anticipated Impacts • Channel & canal excavation disturbances are as follows: o ±100,440 ft2 (2.3 acres) of shallow open water bottom (PTA & EW AEC's) o ±65,740.4 ft2 (1.51 acres) of USACE jurisdictional 404-wetlands (includes open water areas within wetlands) o ±31,617.7 ft2 (0.73 acres) of highground area (includes ±4,500 ft2 of Albemarle Sound ES AEC) o Excavation will result in the removal of±29,317 cubic yards of material below NWL and ±12,881 cubic yards of high ground area (calculated in Autocad). Spoils will consist of sand, clay, peat and muck. o It is anticipated that the dredge spoil disposal areas are adequate. o Turbidity is expected to occur as a result of the excavation; however, the applicant has indicated that a "plug" will remain in place between the Albemarle Sound and the canal/basin until NTU's have reached an acceptable level. The applicant has also indicated that sediment curtains will be utilized as necessary in the Albemarle Sound to ensure turbidity remains below acceptable levels. Basin reshaping and filling impacts (prior to connection with the Albemarle Sound): o Reshaping of the basin will result in ±43,560 ft2 (±1 acre) of basin fill (creating highground) within the nearshore areas. o ±435,600 ft2 (10 acres) of bottom fill to achieve -7' to -8' water depth o Reshaping and filling of the basin will result in the placement of ±65,000 cubic yards of spoils from canal excavation or from an approved upland sand mine. West Side Resort, LLC c/o Christopher Coleman Powells Point Harbour Marina Project Field Investigation Report Page 7 of 7 • Docking facility impacts: o The pier and platform in the open waters of the Albemarle Sound will shade ±2,200 ft2 of shallow water bottom. o An accessway to the above pier and platform will shade ±1,500 ft2 of USACE jurisdictional 404-wetlands in the shoreline area adjacent to the Albemarle Sound. o Within the basin, the proposed floating docks, access piers and finger piers will shade ±29,629 ft2 of water bottom. • The upland marina community development will result in: o The filling of ±20,908.8 ft2 (±0.48 acres) of USACE jurisdictional 404-wetlands. o The shading of ±13,843 ft2 (0.318 acres) of USACE jurisdictional 404-wetlands (community boardwalk) o ±447,926.8 ft2 (±5.7 acres) of upland grading, filling, BUA and disturbance. o Impervious areas within the 75' Estuarine Shoreline AEC total 87,389.1 ft2 (14.8%) and impervious areas for the entire tract total 447,926.8 ft2 (8.6%). (These figures are based on the basin connecting to the Albemarle Sound) o It is anticipated that sedimentation and erosion control techniques will be needed to prevent additional impacts. o It is anticipated that stormwater management techniques will be required. • It is not anticipated that any known archaeological resources will be impacted by the proposed development.

Existing Land Uses: Current land uses include a single family residence and horse boarding. Adjacent properties are undeveloped wetlands and uplands, and the Kilmarlic Golf Course and subdivision. Existing Wastewater Treatment/Disposal: Existing onsite septic tank and drain field. Solid Waste/Fish Offal/Trash Disposal: Existing residence uses trash cans and County convenience center. Use and Daily Operations of the Project When Complete Proposed Development Purpose: The purpose of the proposed project is to develop a resort marina community providing deep water access to the Albemarle Sound and Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIW) from the west side of Currituck County. Currituck County does not currently have a resort waterfront development with deep water access suitable for sailboats and larger vessels using the AN on the Albemarle Sound. Daily operations will be consistent with a marina resort community. Buildings/Facilities/Units/Structures: Construction of a marina resort community, with restaurant and light commercial. Proposed 60 feet wide -8.0 ft (NWL) deep channel, starting at connecting natural water depths of -8.0 in the Albemarle sound and cut through Phragmites wetlands to a depth of -8.0 ft to connect the existing pond to the Albemarle Sound. A docking facility with fueling stations and pump outs are proposed within the existing basin to accommodate both the proposed development and transient marina patrons. A boat ramp is also proposed. Up to 160 wet slips; 6 transient slips and all associated infrastructure. See project narrative for additional detail. Use & Daily Operations: A marina resort community with retail and restaurant. Construction Methodology & Equipment: Dredging will be by mechanical methods and performed by excavators on barges that will load material onto scows that are also on barges which will be located behind (pond side) the excavator. Excavator's will load scows that would be pushed by boat into the pond and the material would then be emplaced around the basin to achieve the proposed water depths (-8 ft.) as presented in the flushing model. The uplands "neck" will be excavated first starting from the pond side and the operation will continue west into the proposed canal through the wetlands. A plug (approx. 40-50 feet in thickness) will be left separating the canal and basin from the Albemarle Sound. The contractor will stop all excavation of the uplands and the canal for a period of approximately two weeks to allow for settling of any fine materials. Turbidity measurements would be taken to ensure that water quality has stabilized prior to making any connection to the Albemarle Sound. Additional basin shaping may occur during this time. Once the water quality in the basin and canal have stabilized (turbidity < 10 NTUs or as required) the "plug" would be removed and the channel and basin would be connected to the Albemarle Sound. It is estimated that approximately 500-1,000 cubic yards of material can be dredged and placed into the pond in one working day. Total dredge time is projected to take about three months. Sediment curtains would be used as necessary to ensure that turbidity in the Albemarle Sound does not exceed any established NTU requirements (<10 NTU's).

Public comments are limited to 3 minutes. No one was signed up nor wished to speak at Public Comment. COMMISSIONER'S REPORT Chairman White announced an upcoming meeting on Currituck County Airport facility operations and projects. Assistant County Manager, Ben Stikeleather, will attend to provide information and answer questions from airport stakeholders. Chairman White said two House Bills recently introduced in the legislature by State House Representative Bobby Hanig would address isolated schools and school transportation, and would likely provide financial relief to the county school system. Commissioner Mary Etheridge encouraged people to visit the Historic Jarvisburg Colored School museum in celebration of Black History Month, as it is open to the public and depicts a history of rural life in Currituck County. Commissioner McCord offered condolences to the Walker family on the recent loss of their son, and thanked the hundreds who attended the services for their support. Commissioner J. Owen Etheridge recalled earlier discussion at the January Board retreat and asked that a local bill be submitted to the legislature to allow county access to provide maintenance and clearing for ditches and waterways. PUBLIC HEARINGS A. PB 08-48 Cape Currituck (Horgan/Mason): APPLICATION SUMMARY Property Owner: Denny Horgan and Donna Applicant: Denny Horgan and Donna Mason 291 Mason 291 West Side Lane Powells Point NC West Side Lane Powells Point NC 27966 27966 Case Number: PB 08-48 Application Type: Amended Conditional District - Planned Unit Development Zoning Overlay Parcel Identification Numbers: 0112-000-00313- Existing Use: Single -Family Dwelling, Agricultural 0000, 0112-000-003C-0000 Land Use Plan Classification: Full Service and Parcel Size (Acres): 120.15 Conservation Zoning History: A (1989) rezoned to CD-PUD Access: West Side Lane (SR 1112) 2008 Utilities: County Water/Private WWTP Stormwater: Multiple manmade wetland pockets, wet detention basins, and permeable pavement Final Minutes Updated 31512019 11:40 AM Currituck County Board of Commissioners February 18, 2019 throughout the development Plan Request: Decrease the number of dwelling units/density, canal realignment, reduce wetland fill, and reorient types of dwelling units to improve transition from this development to Kilmarlic Subdivision single- family dwelling lots. STAFF ANALYSIS The Board of Commissioners approved a conditional rezoning request (A to CD-PUD Overlay) in 2008 for this property. The CD-PUD Overlay included 237 mixed residential units, a small commercial hub, boat marina, public boat ramp, and associated infrastructure improvements. During the permitting process, the applicant was notified that the proposed waterway connection to the Albemarle Sound was not a desired alignment by State and Federal agencies. Based on that feedback, the master plan has been redesigned to reflect a new access to the sound and a new project layout. Due to the time between the previous approval and the current revised master plan, wetlands were reassessed with the appropriate State and Federal agencies. Changes to the wetland boundaries significantly impacted the uplands available for development and required an overall decrease in the number of units in the previously approved plan. The proposed amended plan includes a total of 160 mixed residential units with a residential density of 1.33 dwelling units per acre. The project also has neighborhood serving retail uses, a restaurant, traditional uses associated with a full -service marina, and associated infrastructure that includes a small, wastewater treatment plant that serves the project. The development is predicated on a public access marina, including boat ramp, with a realigned access canal to the Albemarle Sound. The project is positioned to take boat traffic from the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) which traverses just offshore from the proposed project. The marina will provide approximately 208 boat slips for use by the general public, visitors, and ICW traffic. The approved master plan included approximately 2.7 acres of wetland fill. Because of the reduction in density and site redesign, the propose wetland fill impact for upland development is 0.48 acres which includes filling for road crossings. Wetland fill will be permitted and mitigated through the appropriate State and Federal agencies. The amended plan also includes a better transition from Kilmarlic Subdivision by placing the single-family condo style housing units closes to that neighborhood. Lot 175 within Kilmarlic Club Phase II is the only lot that directly abuts the proposed planned development. At this location, all buildings have been placed approximately 45 feet from the residential property line. A minimum 10 feet wide vegetated buffer will be provided along the adjacent properties zoned residential. All commercial development has been centralized within the community and will not be adjacent to the existing residential development. The previously approved plan showed no permanent structures built within 100' of the mean high water mark. The proposed plan reduces that setback to 30' which matches the UDO 30' required riparian buffer. The previous plan required waterfront property within 100' of mean high water mark to remain in common open space. The proposed plan reduces that open space measurement to 30' of the normal water level. This is consistent with the UDO requirement that riparian buffers remain as open space. Community concern has been expressed regarding West Side Lane (SR 1112) being used to access the development. West Side Lane is an NCDOT maintained road and NCDOT expressed no concern for the increased traffic on West Side Lane during their review process. Internal pedestrian circulation will be provided throughout the development and to all commercial areas. Golf cart and bicycle parking will be provided at the proposed commercial hub to encourage alternative transportation methods. RECOMMENDATIONS Technical Review Committee The Technical Review Committee recommends approval of the conditional rezoning subject to the Final Minutes Updated 31512019 11:40 AM Currituck County Board of Commissioners February 18, 2019 following conditions: 1. Staff is concerned with the maneuverability of vehicles pulling boat trailers (turning radius) at the public boat ramp, lack of vehicle hauling boat trailer parking at the ramp, and the distance from the ramp to the boat trailer parking lot. (Planning) UPDATE FROM APPLICANT: The drive aisles within the boat ramp parking lot are currently 32'-35' wide to allow for a boat maneuvering and access. AutoTURN has been run using a vehicle length of 19' and boat length of 32' (with an anticipated I V wheelbase). The steering lock angle was assumed at 31.6 degrees. Based on the results of the Auto TURN, simulation areas of the site have been widened and radii enlarged as necessary. Boat and trailer parking remains proposed adjacent to the proposed wastewater treatment plant. STAFF NOTE: Staff is satisfied with the maneuverability of the vehicles pulling boat trailers at the public boat ramp. Staff remains concerned regarding the distance from the boat ramp to the vehicle/boat parking area (approximately four -tenths of a mile). 2. A CAMA Major Permit will be required for project development. For permitting assistance, please contact Ron Renaldi, DCM Field Representative at 252-264-3901. (CAMA) UPDATE FROM APPLICANT: Acknowledged. A CAMA Major Permit is being prepared and will be submitted for review prior to the anticipated Board of Commissioners meeting date of December 3, 2018. 3. Page 3 of the Site Narrative indicates that the proposed subdivision is predicated on a marina being constructed that offers a connection to the Albemarle Sound, however Page 8 indicates that permitting for the marina will occur in Phase 2---after 43 units and associated improvements for those units are installed in Phase 1. It is recommended that permitting for the marina occur in Phase 1. (CAMA) UPDATE FROM APPLICANT: Acknowledged. SURROUNDING PARCELS Land Use Zoning North Undeveloped AG South Albemarle Sound n/a East Kilmarlic Subdivision/Undeveloped SFM/AG West Undeveloped AG LAND USE PLAN The 2006 Land Use Plan classifies this site as Full Service and Conservation within the subarea. The policy emphasis for the Point Harbor subarea is to allow this area to continue to evolve as a full service community, but with better attention to the planning needed to protect residential areas and the natural features that make the area so attractive. Vegetative buffers should be required/maintained along shorelines to preserve public access and open space at the waters edge and to protect water quality in the sound. The proposed plan is in keeping with the policies of the plan, some of which are: Policy HN1 Currituck County shall encourage development to occur at densities appropriate for the location. LOCATION AND DENSITY FACTORS shall include whether the development is within an environmentally suitable area, the type and capacity of sewage treatment available to the site, the adequacy of transportation facilities providing access to the site, and the proximity of the site to existing and planned urban services. Policy PA1 Public access to the sound and ocean waters of Currituck County is essential to the quality of life of residents and visitors, as well as the economy of the area. The County supports the establishment of ADDITIONAL PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ACCESS opportunities to the waters of Currituck County. Policy PA5 PUBLIC AND PRIVATE MARINAS offering access to area waters should be encouraged when developed in accordance with the CAMA specific use standards for marinas (i.e. docks for more than 10 vessels). Marinas shall not be approved, however, that are incompatible with nearby land uses or whose designs fail to meet the environmental quality and development standards of the County's Unified Development Ordinance. Policy CD8 MIXED -USE DEVELOPMENTS, properly planned from the outset, which allow for a compatible mixture of residential and non-residential uses with a pedestrian scale and Final Minutes Updated 31512019 11:40 AM Currituck County Board of Commissioners February 18, 2019 design, are encouraged. Policy Currituck County supports the retention or preservation of VEGETATED BUFFERS along WQ6 the edge of drainage ways, streams and other components of the estuarine system as an effective, low cost means of protecting water quality. Policy ML3 The interests of Mainland Area residents in having ACCESS TO THE AREA'S OCEAN AND ESTUARINE WATERS shall be fostered through County actions to increase the number of additional public access sites at a rate commensurate with the population growth of the Currituck County. Included in the actions taken to increase public access shall be a consideration given to transportation needs, including boat docks and ferry services. Policy ES2 NON -COASTAL WETLANDS, including FRESHWATER SWAMPS, AND INLAND, NON - TIDAL WETLANDS, shall be conserved for the important role they play in absorbing floodwaters, filtering pollutants from stormwater runoff, recharging the ground water table, and providing critical habitat for many plant and animal species. Policy Development that preserves the NATURAL FEATURES OF THE SITE, including existing WQ5 topography and significant existing vegetation, shall be encouraged. COASTAL AND NON -COASTAL WETLANDS shall not be considered part of a lot's acreage for the purpose of determining minimum lot size or development density. CONSISTENCY AND COMPATIBILITY STATEMENT This amended CD - Planned Unit Development Zoning request is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the Land Use Plan, is compatible with existing and proposed uses surrounding the land subject to the application, and is an appropriate zoning district and use for the land. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL Only conditions mutually agreed to by the owner(s) may be approved as part of a conditional zoning district. Conditions shall be limited to those that address conformance of development and use of the site with county regulations and adopted plans and that address the impacts reasonably expected to be generated by the development or use. No condition shall be less restrictive than the standards of the parallel general use zoning district. Agreed upon conditions of approval: Staff recommends that the conditions approved in 2008 remain in effect with the following revisions: Uses 1. Limited to mixed residential uses, neighborhood serving retail uses, restaurants, and those traditional uses associated with a marina, and other items contained in the Currituck Marina Conceptual Plan. 2. Maximum gross residential density shall not exceed 2.0 dwelling units per acre. 3. No more than 50 residential dwelling units shall receive a certificate of occupancy prior to the public marina being fully permitted and approved by any local, state, and federal regulatory or permitting agency. *The board may wish to discuss revising this number with the applicant since total lot count has dropped from 237 residential dwelling units to 160 residential dwelling units 4. No more than 100 residential dwelling units shall receive a certificate of occupancy prior to the marina being fully operational and open to the public. *The board may wish to discuss revising this number with the applicant since total lot count has dropped from 237 residential dwelling units to 160 residential dwelling units. 5. No more than 150 residential dwelling units shall receive a certificate of occupancy prior to the commercial components of the request being approved and fully constructed. *The board may wish to discuss revising this number with the applicant since total lot count has dropped from 237 residential dwelling units to 160 residential dwelling units. Transportation Final Minutes Updated 31512019 11:40 AM Currituck County Board of Commissioners February 18, 2019 1.

PLANNING BOARD MEETING 12/11/2018 Final Minutes Updated 31512019 11:40 AM Currituck County Board of Commissioners February 18, 2019 RESULT: RECOMMENDED APPROVAL WITH PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDED CHANGES [UNANIMOUS] AYES: Anamarie Hilgendorf, Board Member, Fred Whiteman, Chairman, C. Shay Ballance, Vice Chairman, Steven Craddock, Board Member, Jane Overstreet, Board Member ABSENT: Carol Bell, Board Member, Joanne M. DiBello, Board Member, J. Timothy Thomas, Board Member MOTION: Mr. Craddock motioned to approve PB 08-48 Cape Currituck for the conditional rezoning with the agreed upon conditions since total number of dwellings has reduced with no more than 30 residential dwelling units shall receive a certificate of occupancy prior to the public marina being fully permitted and approved by any local, state, and federal regulatory or permitting agency, no more than 60 residential dwelling units shall receive a certificate of occupancy prior to the marina being fully operational and open to the public and no more than 100 residential dwelling units shall receive a certificate of occupancy prior to the commercial components of the request being approved and fully constructed. Also, to include the pedestrian walkway between the parking and the boat ramp with additional signage to prevent pedestrian danger. Ms. Overstreet seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously. PLANNING BOARD DISCUSSION 12/11/2018: Senior Planner, Tammy Glave presented the staff report. Ms. Glave said staff is recommending approval. The number of dwelling units will be reduced from 237 to 160 which will reduce the density. The applicants are putting in extra buffers that are not required. All the conditions of approval remain the same except two are changing - Ms. Glave referenced the conditions in the staff report for the changes being underlined (below). Landscaping/Screening 1. All inland, non -tidal and coastal wetlands not proposed to be filled shall remain undisturbed in accordance with the Currituck Marina Conceptual Plan. Delineated CAMA, 404, and 401 wetlands shall be placed in a conservation easement or preservation trust preventing individual ownership or development. 2. There shall be no development, land disturbing (other than excavation of access channel, restoration or enhancement of natural ecosystems and management of invasive species), or logging activities in areas designated by the 2006 Land Use Plan as Conservation in accordance with the Currituck Marina Conceptual Plan. This shall not preclude elevated walkways, utilities, or other necessary public improvements. Ms. Glave said one of staffs concerns was the parking area being a long distance from the boat ramp. Staff would like a walking path from this area with signs for pedestrian safety. Mr. Craddock asked if there was adequate space for turning in this parking area and Ms. Glave said yes, the applicant has run software to show this is adequate. Cathleen Saunders with Quible & Associates came before the board to represent the applicant. She said they are reducing the units to 160 and making the design more environmentally friendly with a 30 foot buffer and 42 acre environmental area. Wet pavers will be used to address wet areas. At the community meeting the key concerns was the use of West Side Lane as an entrance and she said they have to use this because of the wetlands. NCDOT was onsite and they are in agreement that using this road as the entrance is compliant with their standards. The boat ramp was not something that we wanted, but was a requirement made by the Board of Commissioners. The wastewater area was flipped with the parking area so it would be farther away from the adjourning properties. As far as the distance of the parking area from the boat ramp, shuttles have been considered. Chairman Whiteman asked for if there were any persons wishing to speak in opposition. Tom Voorhees of Duncans Way, Powells Point, said he is the Kilmarlic board representative and they are concerned about the amount of traffic for West Side Lane. He said there are no lights or Final Minutes Updated 31512019 11:40 AM Currituck County Board of Commissioners February 18, 2019 sidewalks and this causes safety concerns for people walking in the neighborhood. Warren Eadus with Quible & Associates gave their rebuttal. He said they have spoken with NCDOT about having speed bumps put on the road and this is not favorable due to emergency services having to have a quick access if needed. Ray Bruce, a Kilmarlic resident, spoke in opposition. He said he is concerned with flooding and evacuation of his property if needed. Mr. Eadus said they have addressed the flooding concerns and there will be a softened shoreline and elevated homes. Mr. Craddock asked if West Side Lane was a state maintained road and Ms. Glave said yes. Mr. Craddock said since it is a state maintained road, shouldn't the residents be taking up their concerns with NCDOT and Ms. Glave affirmed his statement. More discussion was held concerning the distance of the boat ramp and parking area. Ms. Hilgendorf was in favor of an ADA compliant walkway between the two areas. Mr. Craddock asked if the applicant will agree to walkways and signage. Mr. Eadus said they are willing to do a walkway.

Using the overhead, Ms. LoCicero displayed maps of the project location and the original approved layout. She reviewed the conditions set at that time, presented the amendments to the original plan, and displayed a comparison chart with both the old and new proposal. Conditions and phases for construction included in the current plan were presented. Ms. LoCicero said both the Technical Review Committee and Planning Board recommended approval. Planning Board modifications were presented, as were counter -recommendations made by the applicant. Construction design elevations were displayed and Ms. LoCicero responded to several questions posed by Commissioners. She said the applicant is still in the process of working to find the best canal design for approval of final permits and confirmed Phase I building could take place prior to receipt of final permits for marina construction. Warren Eadus, Engineer for Quible and Associates, spoke on behalf of the owners and developers of Cape Currituck. He said they are still moving through the process for permitting through the Army Corps of Engineers and Coastal Management. Mr. Eadus said they want to build the marina, and they are asking to reduce what has already been approved, lessening the project's environmental impact and bringing it up to today's standards in the Unified Development Ordinance. Mr. Eadus responded to questions from the Board, discussed the challenges with the project, and presented a 2 month timeline for submittal of permitting applications followed by an estimated 120-150 for approvals. Developer, Timothy Morrison, spoke on behalf of the project. He began with the project's history and said the economy in 2008 didn't support it. Mr. Morrison said initial sale of homes could not be advertised as a marina. He talked of the recent scoping meetings with the various permitting agencies. Mr. Morrison, when asked, said he would be agreeable to securing necessary federal and state permits prior to the start of construction if it means Board approval. Chairman White called for a brief recess at 7.01 PM. The meeting was reconvened at 7.07 PM. Chairman White opened the Public Hearing. Property owner, Denny Horgan, spoke in favor of the project. He described the layout of the property he has owned for 19 years. He said the project would be good for the county, and there is no other place on the Albemarle Sound where this project could be done. Mr. Morrison returned and said presently, there is the ability to launch boats from the property. No one else was signed up nor wished to speak. Chairman White closed the Public Hearing.

INTRODUCTION The Cape Currituck Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Model (also referred to as model or flushing model) was developed as a tool to assist with the evaluation of the water quality impacts associated with the creation of a proposed marina (Cape Currituck Marina) by connection of an existing on -site pond to the Albemarle Sound. The project is located in Currituck County at an approximate latitude and longitude of N36.11796 and W75.85303, respectively. The developer proposes to dredge a channel 8.0 feet deep (-8.0 feet relative to Normal Water Level (NWL)) by 60 feet wide that will connect the existing on -site pond to the Albemarle Sound, while utilizing dredge material to increase the bottom elevation of the basin so that the basin depth does not exceed the depth of the connecting waters. The proposed marina development includes residential and commercial uses. The existing bathymetry of the existing pond and the Albemarle Sound is illustrated Figure 1. Figure 2 illustrates the proposed bathymetry of the proposed marina and the associated connecting channel to the Albemarle Sound. The bathymetry illustrated in Figure 2 was used in the creation of the flushing model. It is important to note that the flushing model was originally created with a channel alignment that connected at the southern end of the existing pond. In an effort to mitigate wetland impacts, the currently modeled channel alignment was selected. The originally modeled channel alignment and the currently modeled channel alignment are illustrated in Figure 3. The flushing model was developed to provide answers to the following questions, as outlined in the original Modeling Plan: - How will the dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in the Albemarle Sound be impacted by the creation of the proposed marina and its connection to the Albemarle Sound? - What is the expected residence time for water within the proposed marina? - What will be the dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in the proposed marina? The primary objective of the flushing model was to create a prediction of the proposed water quality impacts, so that a regulatory decision may be made utilizing quantitative results. The key water quality parameter of concern was dissolved oxygen. In addition to dissolved oxygen, focus was placed on residence time/age of water, due to the correlation between residence time and water quality impacts. 2. MONITORING Monitoring efforts throughout development of the Cape Currituck Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Model facilitated the provision of data required for the creation of the input files necessary to build the hydrodynamic and water quality modeling capabilities of the flushing model. Four water quality stations were designated as sampling points for collecting data on pH, conductivity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and salinity. Two stations were designated within the Albemarle Sound (WQ-1 and WQ-2), and two stations were designated within the existing pond (WQ-3 and WQ-4). During sampling, a fifth water quality station was designated, WQ-1A, in order to collect water quality measurements to a depth of 8.0 feet. Water quality data from stations WQ-1 and WQ-1A were used to define the time series data files at the open boundary condition. P.O.

Grain size distributions from the surface sediment obtained during Vibracore sampling were used in the creation of the sediment transport sub -model. An on -site weather station, including an anemometer, was used to collect on -site wind data to be used as a time series data file in the flushing model. An on -site tidal gauge (pressure transducer) was used to collect water surface data in the Albemarle Sound, which became the time series data file defining the open boundary condition in the flushing model. Locations of water quality sampling stations, Vibracore sampling locations, the on -site weather station, and the on -site tidal gauge, are illustrated in Figure 3. It is important to note that these locations were designated during the original phases of model development, in which the original channel alignment was being modeled. During model development, the channel alignment was revised, as is also illustrated in Figure 3. Additional information on data collection and monitoring is provided in the Data Collection Technical Memorandum in Appendix A, and also in the previously submitted monitoring plan entitled, "Basin Flushing Model: Data Collection Plan, Cape Currituck, North River/Albemarle Sound", dated May 30, 2018, as prepared by Quible & Associates, P.C. 3. MODELING APPROACH The modeling software selected for the flushing model was the Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC). The features and capabilities of EFDC allowed for the system to be modeled from a hydrodynamic and a water quality standpoint and provided for the creation of a three- dimensional model with multiple vertical layers. EFDC also supported the creation of the sediment transport sub -model. Specifically, EE Modeling System, consisting of EFDC_Explorer, EFDC+, and CVLGrid, was selected based on the availability of the graphical user interface for pre- and post -processing. CVLGrid was used for grid generation, in an effort to develop a grid best representing the model domain. Figure 4 represents the Cape Currituck Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Model Framework. The three-dimensional flushing model domain consists of a grid containing 7,296 cells and four vertical layers. A three-dimensional surface was created in AutoCAD Civil3D to represent the proposed bathymetry of the marina and the associated channel. The bathymetric data points from the proposed surface, along with the existing bathymetric data points from the Albemarle Sound were imported into the flushing model to create the bottom elevations of the model. In order to simulate the proposed jetties where the proposed channel meets the shoreline, two rows of cells (one on each side of the channel) were deactivated, representing the physical barrier created by the jetties.

Initial conditions were set in the model for salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and water surface elevation. The open boundary condition in the flushing model includes the westward facing cells. The open boundary condition was assigned the time series data file of water surface elevations to serve as the pressure series. Time series data files for salinity, temperature, and dissolved oxygen were attached to the open boundary condition to allow for these parameters to change over time according to the water quality data measurements that were collected in the field. It is important to note that, due to the location of the site, the proposed marina would be minimally influenced by astronomical tidal forces; and therefore, a harmonic time series was not applicable to the open boundary condition. The hydrodynamics in the model are driven by the water surface elevation time series and the time series for wind at each of the two wind stations. Four withdrawal/return boundary conditions were activated within the model, representing proposed pumping from the marina to the open water, which is discussed in greater detail in Section 7, Model Results and Section 8, Scenario Analysis.

Sediment Oxygen Demand was established at a constant rate of -1.5 g/m2/day across all cells within the active model domain. The dye constituent was activated in the model in two different capacities. During the full hydrodynamic and water quality model run, the dye constituent was used to represent the age of water. During the conservative tracer run, the dye constituent was used to represent the flushing of a conservative tracer that was introduced to all cells within the proposed marina at each of the four vertical layers at a concentration of 100 mg/L. Particle Tracking was activated within the model to demonstrate the motion of particles placed within the marina to further identify hydrodynamic impacts within the marina. The model timing begins on June 29, 2018 and ends on September 24, 2018. The model operates based on Julian dates, and therefore, a base date of June 29, 2018 was used as Julian day 0. All data was processed by converting to Julian dates representing number of days since the base date of June 29, 2018 (Julian day 0). The model timing was selected to simulate "worst -case" conditions for dissolved oxygen and flushing time for the proposed marina. The selected timing provided for data collection during periods of time where dissolved oxygen P.O.

The sediment transport sub -model was built by activating non -cohesive sediments and defining a sediment bed layer consisting of a fine-grained sand. Particle size distribution reports (provided in Appendix C) were generated from samples of the top layer of the sediment bed, obtained from the Vibracore sampling. Grain size parameters were used to build the sediment bed, along with additional parameters computed by the software, using Van Rijn equations. Additional information on the modeling approach is provided in the Initial Model Setup Technical Memorandum in Appendix A. 4. MODEL INPUT Input data used in the flushing model consists of water surface elevation data, wind data, water quality data, and non -cohesive sediment data. Spreadsheets containing data used in the project, including water surface elevation data, on -site anemometer data, Dare County Regional Station data, and water quality data are included in Appendix B. Due to the amount of data used in the model, only the first page of data for water surface elevation and wind data were provided in Appendix B. Spreadsheets containing the comprehensive lists of data are included in the electronic files associated with the electronic project submittal. The water quality data contained in Appendix B contains the data from Water Quality Stations WQ-1 and WQ-1A, which was used to define the time series for each parameter at the open boundary condition. For spreadsheets containing the water quality data for all Water Quality Stations (WQ-1, WQ- 1A, WQ-2, WQ-3, and WQ-4), refer to the Data Collection Technical Memorandum in Appendix A. Data processing for all input data required the conversion of dates and times to Julian days, with a base date of June 29, 2018 (Julian day 0). All data in the model is in metric units. Water surface elevation data was used to define the open boundary condition in the flushing model. The data was processed by converting recorded sensor depths to water surface elevations in feet, which were then converted to water surface elevations in meters. An initial sensor depth was recorded as -1.22 feet, thus, water surface elevations were calculated by adding the depth of water above the sensor to the initial sensor depth. A correction was made to the sensor depth each time the data was recorded. Each time the data was recorded, the pressure transducer was pulled from the PVC riser, and when returned to the PVC riser, it returned to a bottom elevation that had changed from the original bottom elevation, due to sedimentation. The depth reading after returning the pressure transducer to the PVC riser was subtracted from the depth reading before removing the pressure transducer from the PVC riser, and the difference was added to the sensor depth for calculation of subsequent water surface elevations. Details on this correction to the data are provided in Appendix B. Water surface elevation data was input from Julian day 0.526 to Julian day 87.532. Wind data was used to define time series data for the Cape Currituck on -site anemometer and for the Dare County Regional Station. The on -site anemometer provided data from Julian day 18.411 to Julian day 68.448 (the on -site weather station was removed from the site in advance of Hurricane Florence). Wind direction was converted from "direction from" to "direction toward", measuring clockwise from North, with North representing 0°. For example, a wind blowing from P.O. Drawer 870 • Kitty Hawk, NC 27949 Telephone (252) 491-8147 • Fax (252) 491-8146 Cape Currituck Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Model Final Modeling Report April 30, 2019 East to West would be represented by a direction toward 270° in the model. Wind speed was converted from miles per hour to meters per second. After reviewing the wind direction data from the on -site anemometer and comparing it to the wind direction data from the Dare County Regional Station, a correction of 45° counter -clockwise was applied to all wind direction measurements. This allowed for the on -site anemometer wind rose to more closely resemble the Dare County Regional Station wind rose. Dare County Regional Station wind data was obtained from Weather Underground at https://www.wunderground.com. Wind data for this station was input into the model from Julian day 0.010 to Julian day 87.986. Wind direction was downloaded in the form of cardinal directions and subdivisions of cardinal directions, which were converted to direction in degrees (for example, wind from the southwest would be represented by a direction from 225°). "Direction from" was then converted to "direction toward", and wind speeds were converted from miles per hour to meters per second. Time series data files for salinity, temperature, and dissolved oxygen were created from the weekly monitoring data for water quality stations WQ-1 and WQ-1A. These two stations were used to define the time series data files, because these stations were nearest the open boundary condition, and the time series data files were attached to the open boundary condition when input into the model. The time series data files for salinity, temperature, and dissolved oxygen were input from Julian day 0.526 to Julian day 89.526. The time of day assigned to the water quality measurements was 12:37:16 to allow for an initial date consistent with the model start time of Julian day 0.526 (actual time of day for water quality measurements varied, but measurements were primarily collected from morning through the middle of the day). Each parameter of data was collected at depth intervals of one foot; and because the model consists of four vertical layers, the depth measurements were partitioned into the corresponding vertical layers. Multiple parameter values for each layer were averaged to allow for the assignment of one value in each of the four vertical layers for each parameter at each collection time. Prior to water quality station WQ-1A being added to reach a depth of 8.0 feet, data points stopping at 5.0 feet of depth were extrapolated to reach 8.0 feet of depth. There were also instances where the measurements from water quality station WQ-1 were used for the first 5.0 feet of depth, while measurements from water quality station WQ-1A were used for depths greater than 5.0 feet, based on available data. When a full range of data was available at water quality station WQ-1A, these data sets were used over the data available at water quality station WQ-1. Detailed tables illustrating the available data are provided in Appendix B. Bathymetric data in the model consists of measured bathymetric data in the Albemarle Sound, data created from a proposed three-dimensional surface simulating the proposed marina bathymetry and the proposed channel, and bathymetric data created by the modeling software through interpolation of empty grid cells. The extents of the surveyed bathymetric data in the Albemarle Sound did not encompass the entire model domain, and thus, the modeling software interpolated bottom elevation values outside of the surveyed area. Following Hurricane Florence, water quality station WQ-1A exhibited low dissolved oxygen levels at depths of 7.0 feet and 8.0 feet, and high salinity values at depths of 6.0 feet, 7.0 feet, and 8.0 feet. The abnormal values for dissolved oxygen at depths 7.0 feet and 8.0 feet were discarded from the input data and were replaced with the dissolved oxygen value recorded at a depth of 6.0 feet. The abnormal values for salinity at depths 6.0 feet, 7.0 feet, and 8.0 feet were discarded from the input data and were replaced with the salinity value recorded at a depth of 5 feet. P.O.

Two samples were obtained from the Albemarle Sound, and the median, D5o, grain sizes for each sample were averaged for input into the model. An initial condition for bed mass was assumed to be 10,000 g/m2/layer, and an initial condition for water column concentration was assumed to be 0 mg/L. The sediment layer thickness was assumed to be 0.152 meters. The sediment transport sub -model was created based on the objective of modeling the transport of 6-inches (0.152 m) of a fine-grained sand across the entire model domain. Additional sediment was not introduced in the water column at the open boundary, as the premise of the sediment transport sub -model was to investigate potential impacts of the non -cohesive sediment in the sediment bed, and not suspended sediment or cohesive sediments. Additional information on data processing is provided in the Data Processing Technical Memorandum in Appendix A. 5. CALIBRATION AND CORROBORATION Due to the nature of the Cape Currituck Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Model representing a proposed system, traditional calibration and corroboration methods were not applicable. The existing pond is currently disconnected from the Albemarle Sound, and therefore, sampling procedures of the current environment could not be used to validate predicted model results. Data obtained from the water quality sampling stations within the existing pond (WQ-3 and WQ- 4) were used to determine baseline water quality parameter levels that exist in the current pond; and these data were not used as model input parameters. 6. WATER QUALITY PARAMETER OBJECTIVES Water quality parameter objectives were researched to align with supporting answers to the essential questions proposed to be answered by the flushing model. Water quality parameters investigated in the model include residence time, or flushing time, within the marina, which translates to the ability of the marina to flush a contaminant in the form of a conservative tracer, and dissolved oxygen. Research referenced during the analysis of the flushing model may be summarized as follows: The USEPA, in their Coastal Marina Assessment Handbook, reference that "a flushing turnover rate of two to four days has been recommended" (USEPA, 1985, p. 4-83). The NCDENR, in their Guidelines for Planning an Upland Marina Development, reference that "EPA recommendations are a flushing reduction of 85%-90% in a 24-hour period" (NCDENR, 2011, p. 15). The NCDENR, in their Guidelines for Planning an Upland Marina Development, reference that "DO shall be `not less than 5.0 mg/L... "' (NCDENR, 2011, p. 14). 7. MODEL RESULTS Due to location of the site, the proposed marina would be minimally influenced by astronomical tidal forces. The dominating hydrodynamic force affecting flushing time is wind -driven tidal influence. During the temporal scope of the model, the prevailing wind direction is from the P.O.

To improve flushing time, and associated dissolved oxygen concentrations, four pumps were introduced into the marina by activating a withdrawal/return boundary condition in four locations. Two cells at the north end of the marina and two cells at the south end of the marina were activated as withdrawal cells, withdrawing a constant rate of 1,250 gallons per minute (0.0788625 m3/sec) at each location, and returning at an identical rate to four cells located on the south side of the southern jetty. After a full -duration model run of 87 days, average residence time (water age) values were predicted along the range of approximately 2.75 days to 4.25 days within the marina cells and within the portion of the channel proposed between the marina and its connection to the Albemarle Sound at the shoreline. These results indicate results that are in reasonable agreement with the suggested two to four day flushing time recommendation in the USEPA Coastal Marina Assessment Handbook (USEPA, 1985, p. 4-83). Figures 7, 8, 9, and 10 illustrate the depth -averaged (across all four vertical layers) values for age of water at time values of one week, 30 days, 60 days, and 87 days since model start time, respectively. Figure 15 displays a graph of the average water age within the marina and the portion of the channel described above with respect to time. After a full -duration model run of 87 days, average dissolved oxygen values predicted to remain greater than 5.75 mg/L in the marina cells and within the portion of the channel proposed between the marina and its connection to the Albemarle Sound at the shoreline. These results indicate results that are in reasonable agreement with the requirement that "DO shall be `not less than 5.0 mg/L... "' provided by the NCDENR in their Guidelines for Planning an Upland Marina Development (NCDENR, 2011, p. 14). Figures 11, 12, 13, and 14 illustrate the depth - averaged (across all four vertical layers) values for dissolved oxygen at time values of one week, 30 days, 60 days, and 87 days since model start time, respectively. Figure 16 displays a graph of the average dissolved oxygen concentration within the marina and the portion of the channel described above with respect to time. To further simulate the marina's ability to be flushed of a given constituent, in the form of a conservative tracer (no decay rate), a model was run with the introduction of a dye, at a concentration of 100 mg/L, being injected to each cell of the marina and at each of the four vertical layers. The model was run for a duration of 30 days, beginning at day 0.526. After reviewing the results of the 87-day model run, it appears that the longer residence times occurred during the first ten days of the model duration. Figure 17 illustrates the 100 mg/L conservative tracer injected into the marina at day 0.526. Figures 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24 illustrate the conservative tracer concentrations (depth averaged) at one day, two days, three days, one week, ten days, two weeks, and 30 days, respectively. Figure 25 displays a graph of the average conservative tracer concentration within the marina cells with respect to time. Results indicate that the conservative tracer concentration in the marina reduces to an average concentration of 15 mg/L (85% reduction) at a Julian day of approximately 6.2, representing approximately 5.7 days after the model run began. Sediment Transport Sub -Model: The sediment transport sub -model indicated results suggesting greater channel stability nearer the shore, with relatively minor amounts of sedimentation occurring in the channel during a model run time of 70 days. The results during the first 70 days were considered, because at P.O. Drawer 870 • Kitty Hawk, NC 27949 Telephone (252) 491-8147 • Fax (252) 491-8146 11 Cape Currituck Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Model April 30, 2019 Final Modeling Report Julian day 68, the on -site weather station was removed due to the forecasted path of Hurricane Florence. It is reasonable to assume that the model validity for sediment transport was increased during the duration of the on -site weather station data file. Figures 26, 27, 28, and 29 illustrate the morphology of the sediment bed, and corresponding bottom elevations, along row j = 106 (row of cells along the channel alignment from the open boundary condition to the terminal point within the marina) at Julian day 0.526, day 30.526, day 60.526, and day 70.005, respectively. It is important to note that the bottom elevation of grid cell 13i, 106j, located near the western end of the proposed channel, changes in bottom elevation from -2.286 meters (- 7.50 feet) at Julian day 0.526 to -2.189 meters (-7.18 feet) at Julian day 70.005, with 0.08 meters (0.26 feet) of that increase occurring during the first 30 days of the model run. Between Julian day 30.526 and Julian day 70.005, the bottom elevation of this grid cell increases by 0.02 meters (0.06 feet). 8. SCENARIO ANLAYSIS During model development, scenario analyses were conducted to improve residence time (age of water) within the marina, and to also improve dissolved oxygen concentrations. Prevailing wind directions during the summer months, in combination with the proposed channel alignment and the lack of a significant astronomical tidal impact, caused for lengthened residence times, and subsequently, poor dissolved oxygen concentrations. It is anticipated that prevailing wind directions during fall and winter months would improve flushing times; however, winter months were not included in the temporal scope of the model. To improve flushing time, pumps were introduced to four locations within the marina, with discharge locations on the south side of the entrance channel. Pumping rates were varied until flushing times and dissolved oxygen concentrations were improved to appropriate values within the marina and access channel. 9. MODEL LIMITATIONS AND KEY ASSUMPTIONS During data collection and sampling, it was observed that water quality samples obtained from sampling locations within the existing pond (WQ-3 and WQ-4) exhibited high levels of dissolved oxygen. While these water quality parameter values were not used in the flushing model, it is important to note that there exist hydrologic and geologic features (e.g. groundwater recharge) lending to the favorable water quality within the existing pond. Additional data would be required to begin a modeling approach directed at simulating the existing hydrologic and geographic features promoting the water quality observed in the pond. Without modeling these features, the flushing model may represent a more conservative approach to predicting the water quality impacts associated with the connection of the existing pond to the Albemarle Sound. The sediment transport sub -model represents an approach to sediment transport in which the sediment bed is composed of non -cohesive sediment, with cohesive sediments not being considered in the model. Further analysis and research regarding sediment transport in this area could produce varying results pertaining to sediment transport and rates of sediment accumulation within the proposed channel. These model limitations should be considered when analyzing the results of the hydrodynamic and water quality model, and the sediment transport sub -model. P.O.

SUMMARY The Cape Currituck Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Model provides answers to the essential questions outlined in the original Modeling Plan. Understanding the model limitations and key assumptions, it is reasonable to assume that the residence time within the proposed marina and the portion of the channel proposed between the marina and its connection to the Albemarle Sound would range between 2.75 days to 4.25 days, with dissolved oxygen levels consistently exceeding the minimum requirement of 5.0 mg/L during worst -case scenario conditions for hydrodynamics and water quality. While the site, and its geographic limitations impacting channel length and alignment, provide for undesirable flushing times and dissolved oxygen concentrations, the introduction of pumping from within the marina to the Albemarle Sound has provided more favorable results in more substantial agreement with parameter values obtained from guidance documentation relating to flushing turnover rates and dissolved oxygen levels; and an 85% reduction of a conservative tracer in approximately 5.7 days appears to be a reasonable result when considering that the conservative tracer was injected across every cell in the marina and at every vertical layer at a concentration of 100 mg/L. Sediment Transport Sub -Model: The Cape Currituck Sediment Transport Sub -Model provides answers to questions relating to sediment transport, with results indicating that the portions of the channel nearest the shoreline appear to demonstrate the greatest stability, with minor impact from sediment transport during the model run. The areas of the channel nearest the deeper connecting waters demonstrate slightly larger impacts from sedimentation during the model run time that was consistent with the input of data from the on -site anemometer (approximately 70 days); however, during those 70 days, the rate of sedimentation in this portion of the channel does not appear to be of major concern. Further analysis and research regarding sediment transport in this area could produce varying results pertaining to sediment transport and rates of sediment accumulation within the proposed channel.

Eadus, P.G. Date: January 8, 2019 Re: Cape Currituck Hydrodynamic Model — Data Collection PHASE I VIBRACORE Four Vibracore samples were collected within the channel and canal alignment as shown and discussed in the May 30, 2018 Basin Flushing Model Data Collection Plan. The purpose of the core sampling was to understand the lithology that would be encountered in the channel and canal. The lithology was also used to help understand the volumes of sand that are migrating along the near shore. Vibracore samples were collected using a custom Vibracore assembly that includes a Dreyer concrete vibrator with an 8 hp motor, custom welded bracket for attaching to three-inch aluminum irrigation pipe and custom aluminum tripod and winch extraction system. Photo 1. Vibracore setup over VC-3. CSC Thin walled aluminum irrigation pipe was advanced into the substrate generally until core refusal. Once core refusal or desired core depth was achieved, the cores were cut below the water level and capped. Cores were then extracted using a winch. Once the bottom of the core was able to be reached, a second cap was installed. Caps were secured with duct tape, cores were labeled (top and bottom and with the corresponding boring number) and transported back to Quible for processing. Processing cores involved cutting the aluminum with a ten -inch circular saw in two linear cuts. The top half of the cut pipe was removed, and the sediment types were measured, recorded and photographed. Samples of each separate layer were collected for future reference. Core depths and corresponding lithologies found within each core are shown on the attached boring logs. A cross section generated from the boring lithology has also been included for reference. Photo 2. Core sample split and lithology being measured. CAD PHASE II DATA COLLECTION As discussed in the Basin Flushing Model Data Collection Plan (Plan), sampling stations were established in locations as shown in the Plan. The location of VC-1/WQ-1 was in water depths of 5-6 feet. Therefore, an additional station WQ-1A was established in deeper water so that water quality data could be gathered from an area with at least -8.0 of water (proposed dredge depth). On a weekly basis (day dictated by weather and wind) water quality parameters (salinity, temperature, pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen and specific conductivity) were collected at each of the five stations on one -foot intervals. Stations were established using survey grade GPS and 1.25-inch PVC pipes were set using a slide hammer. All PVC markers were labeled, and bright yellow and red tape was wrapped around the exposed sections of pipe to increase visibility. Quible staff used a small row boat to collect water quality data in the Albemarle and within the basin/pond. Photo 3. Deploying Horiba U-10. Spreadsheets that detail the weekly water quality monitoring are included with this Memorandum. Meteorological files will be included technical memos and the Model Report as required. A Horiba U-10 Water Quality Checker was used to measure pH, temperature, salinity, turbidity and specific conductivity. A YSI Pro Optical DO was used to measure dissolved oxygen and temperature (redundant). Each of the machines were field calibrated immediately prior to use. Calibration notes will be included in the final Modeling Report. The cords on each of the machines was pre -measured and taped. Measurements were checked weekly to ensure accuracy. All of the equipment was cleaned at the conclusion of sample collection activities. Calibration for the Horiba U-10 consists of submerging the probes in a solution (purchased from Enviro-Equipment) that has predetermined values. The Horiba has a built-in calibration function that allows all parameters to be calibrated while the probes are submerged in an Auto Cal Solution. Fresh Auto Cal solution was used for each calibration event. The YSI ODO was field calibrated following manufacturers recommendations as presented in the user guide. The probe has a calibration function that measures atmospheric DO percentage and atmospheric pressure. Once the atmospheric DO and pressure are within the acceptable tolerances (as printed in the Appendices of the Pro ODO manual) the probe is calibrated, and the user can opt to accept the calibration, returning the probe to measurement mode. A dedicated weather station (comprised of Onset anemometer, rain gauge and temperature loggers) was installed on the shoreline of the project near the proposed location of the channel. In addition, an Onset® pressure transducer was installed inside a PVC well screen and riser in the near shore of the project and close to the channel alignment. The pressure transducer was installed in a protected area where old bald cypress stumps and posts still exist. The pressure transducer was installed just above the existing substrate within the riser and the PVC well screen was attached to the riser so that water could enter the pipe, but any wave action would be attenuated.

Harris, P.E. Date: January 8, 2019 Re: Cape Currituck Hydrodynamic Model — Data Processing The Cape Currituck Hydrodynamic Model has been developed utilizing the following sets of data, each of which are explained further in the text to follow: • Bathymetric Data • Water Surface Elevation Data • Wind Data • Salinity Data • Temperature Data • Water Quality Data As an initial step in the data processing, the times associated with data collection were converted to Julian dates with a base date of June 29, 2018 (day 0 in the model). On -site data was collected prior to June 29, 2018; however, the water surface elevation data file was used in the open boundary condition, and the associated piezometer began data collection on June 29, 2018, thus serving as the base date in the model. Currently, the model contains data from June 29, 2018 through September 5, 2018. Data was collected through September 26, 2018, and the additional data beyond September 5, 2018 will be introduced during the model calibration phase. Bathymetric Data Bathymetric Data was incorporated into the model by importing a point file consisting of northing, easting, and bottom elevation data. A surface was generated to represent the proposed bathymetry of the marina, and the proposed bathymetry of the access channel. Existing bathymetric data of the sound was used for the bathymetry in the open water (areas not proposed to be changed from existing conditions). In areas of the model grid where bathymetric data was not available (open water), the software interpolated the data from the adjacent cells containing bathymetric data. Please refer to Figure 1 for an illustration of the bathymetric data in the model. CAD Figure 1: Bathymetric Data in the Hydrodynamic Model Water Surface Elevation Data The water surface elevation data collected by the on -site piezometer was imported into the model (with Julian date conversions) and was used as the open boundary condition time series. The piezometer's depth -to -water -surface measurements were converted to water surface elevations. Wind Data Wind data was collected with an on -site anemometer and was imported into the model as a time. Wind data for the Dare County Regional Airport was downloaded from Wunderg round. com and was imported into the model as a time series. It is important to note that the software is programmed to read the wind directions as direction toward. Please refer to Figures 2 and 3 for the wind rose for each wind station. P.O.

Each parameter of data was collected at depth intervals of one foot; and because the model consists of four vertical layers, the depth measurements were partitioned into the corresponding vertical layers. Multiple parameter values for each layer were averaged to allow for the assignment of one value in each of the four vertical layers for each parameter at each collection time. The salinity, temperature, and water quality data that were collected from the stations nearest the open water boundary were imported into the model as time series and were introduced to the boundary condition by applying the time series to Boundary Conditions Group Settings for concentrations. Please note that multiple water quality parameters were measured, and at this time, dissolved oxygen is the only water quality parameter being simulated. Salinity data, temperature data, and water quality data collected from the other water quality stations is proposed to be used during model calibration. Please refer to Figure 4 for an example of the "Layer Partitioning" method used to assign parameter values for each vertical layer.

Harris, P.E. Date: January 8, 2019 Re: Cape Currituck Hydrodynamic Model — Initial Model Setup The Cape Currituck Hydrodynamic Model has been initially setup and developed to be able to provide answers to the primary questions in the modeling plan: • How will the dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in the Albemarle Sound be impacted by the creation of the proposed marina and its connection to the Albemarle Sound? • What is the expected residence time for water within the proposed marina? • What will be the dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in the proposed marina? Please refer to the attachment following this memorandum for Figure 1: Cape Currituck Model Framework with an overall description of the model components. Model Domain Model setup began with the generation of a curvilinear grid using CVLGrid1.1 software (part of the EE Modeling System developed by Dynamic Solutions International, LLC). The grid encompasses the proposed marina, the proposed access channel, and the open water of the Albemarle Sound. The grid used to build the model consists of 7,718 cells with an average orthogonal deviation of 0.70 (software guidance recommends an average orthogonal deviation of less than 30). Once created, the grid was imported into EFDC Explorer to begin building the hydrodynamic model. The bathymetric data was loaded into the model, consisting of the proposed marina and access channel bathymetry and the existing open water bathymetry, with interpolation of bathymetric data for cells located in areas outside of the areas where data was collected. To transition from a two-dimensional model to a three-dimensional model, four vertical water layers were created in the model domain. Bottom roughness was then added to the model, and an initial condition for water surface elevation was set (0.5 ft., 0.152 m NWL). Please refer to Figure 2 for an illustration of the bathymetric data in the model. CAD Figure 2: Bathymetric Data in the Hydrodynamic Model The timing in the model was set to begin on June 29, 2018, corresponding to the initial date of the data collection for the water surface elevation time series. All input files for the model were converted to Julian dates, with June 29, 2018 being the base date (Julian day 0). Currently, the model contains data from June 29, 2018 through September 5, 2018. Data was collected through September 26, 2018, and the additional data beyond September 5, 2018 will be introduced during the model calibration phase. Hydrodynamics A time series data file for water surface elevation was built in the model from piezometer data in the open water. This time series data file was then used to define the open boundary condition. Two time series data files were built representing two wind stations (on -site anemometer, and Dare County Regional Airport). Boundary Conditions The open water boundary condition was defined for the western model boundary, connecting to the Albemarle Sound. This boundary condition was assigned the water surface elevation time series file. For the boundary group settings, time series data was used to define the concentration tables for salinity, temperature, and water quality. Constant concentration values were not used in association with the open boundary condition. Please refer to Figure P.O.

The initial water surface elevation was set to 0.5 ft (0.152 m) NWL. The initial condition for salinity was set to 0.18 ppt, representing the average of the salinity data collected on June 29, 2018 for all of the water quality monitoring stations. The initial condition for temperature was set to 30.1 °C, representing the average of the temperature data collected on June 29, 2018 for all of the water quality monitoring stations. The initial condition for dissolved oxygen was set to 9.71 mg/L representing the average of the dissolved oxygen data collected on June 29, 2018 for the water quality monitoring stations located in the open water. Activated Modules Salinity and Temperature: Salinity and temperature were activated in the model, which included the creation of time series data files representing the weekly monitoring data collected at the water quality stations nearest in proximity to the open water boundary. The time series data files were then attached to the open boundary condition by way of concentration tables in the boundary condition group settings. Initial conditions were assigned for salinity and temperature as explained above. P.O. Drawer 870 • Kitty Hawk, NC 27949 Telephone (252) 491-8147 • Fax (252) 491-8146 CSC Water Quality: Water quality was activated in the model, which included the creation of a time series data file representing the weekly monitoring data collected at the water quality stations nearest in proximity to the open water boundary. Dissolved oxygen was the only parameter simulated in the water quality module, due to the fact that the primary questions in the modeling plan are based on dissolved oxygen. The time series data file for dissolved oxygen was attached to the open boundary condition by way of a concentration table in the boundary condition group settings. The initial condition for dissolved oxygen was assigned as explained above. Within the water quality module, sediment oxygen demand (SOD) was activated at a rate of -1.7 g/m2/day. Dye: Dye/Age was activated in the model to simulate the age of water, translating to the prediction of residence time of water within the proposed marina. Lagrangian Particle Transport: Lagrangian Particle Transport was activated in the model as a way to identify the movement of particles within the marina. This information will be useful in the calibration phase of model development in the event that calibration may be made based upon the movement and destination of the particles. Summary The Cape Currituck Hydrodynamic Model has been initially built to be able to provide answers to the primary questions in the modeling plan. The next steps of model development shall include the import of additional data through September 26, 2018, followed by model calibration and corroboration. The goal of further model development shall be to increase model accuracy and its ability to predict the water quality impacts associated with the creation of the proposed marina and its connection to the Albemarle Sound. Once further developed, test case scenarios shall be implemented to identify methods to improve upon residence times and water quality. References: DSI, 2017.

MODEL RESULTS -NATURAL CONDITIONS This addendum considers an EFDC model run of 87 days for the proposed Cape Currituck Marina under natural conditions —post construction (without any mechanical flushing assistance). The marina basin (created from an existing pond) and channel are analyzed for average dissolved oxygen and average age of water versus time. Dissolved oxygen versus time data indicates that the basin and channel maintain an average dissolved oxygen concentration of at least 5.0 mg/L during the model run of 87 days. Age of Water or residence time is predicted to peak at about 22.5 days (three weeks) according to the 87-day model run time. Average residence time (water age) values were predicted along the range of approximately 5 days to 22.5 days within the marina cells and within the portion of the channel proposed between the marina and its connection to the Albemarle Sound at the shoreline. Figures 7a, 8a, 9a, and 10a illustrate the depth -averaged (across all four vertical layers) values for age of water at time values of one week, 30 days, 60 days, and 87 days since model start time, respectively. Figure 15a displays a graph of the average water age within the marina and the portion of the channel described above with respect to time. After a full -duration model run of 87 days, average dissolved oxygen values are predicted to remain above 5.0 mg/L in the marina basin and channel. Figures 11a, 12a, 13a, and 14a illustrate the depth -averaged (across all four vertical layers) values for dissolved oxygen at time values of one week, 30 days, 60 days, and 87 days since model start time, respectively. Figure 16a displays a graph of the average dissolved oxygen concentrations within the marina basin and channel with respect to time. There are several examples of manmade basins and canals in the Currituck, Roanoke and Albemarle Sounds that have relatively long residence times (typical in estuaries with microtidal/wind tide influence) without having a history of poor water quality, fish kills, eutrophication or other indications of low dissolved oxygen and elevated pollutant concentrations. Please note, the basin in this model is an existing pond with relatively and naturally high dissolved oxygen concentrations (average DO across all layers exceeds 7.68 mg/L) as shown in the attached water quality data (previously submitted) reproduced for this addendum (Addendum Tables 1-5). Therefore, while hydrodynamic modeling indicates slow flushing times for the basin, it is critical to recognize that the projected water quality conditions (DO) in the channel, basin and adjacent waters of the Albemarle are expected to be acceptable with respect to dissolved oxygen (>5.0 mg/L).

After several attempts, DWR has been unable to fully run the model, the model predicts a 12-day runtime and our IT protocols are interrupting the process. DWR was able to complete a partial model run for 26 days (not 87 days for a full model run), which visually confirmed some of the output graphs presented in the report (Figure 7a, 11a, 15a and 16a of the report). The Demo version of EFDC Explorer that is available to DWR has been used to generate graphs in this comment. It has limited functions processing model output. We offer the following model review comments: Dissolved Oxygen (DO): • NC Coastal Marinas: Water Quality Assessment (Jan 1990) - states "Water column averages provided the most representative assessment of oxygen conditions in the marinas, particularly during stratified conditions. Therefore, whole column averages are the focus for the following discussion." o Cape Currituck Addendum —Figure 16a shows that DO never gets below 5 mg/L when the entire marina and channel cells are averaged together. o However, DWR prepared time series plots on 6 random locations within the marina (but note they are only for the first 26 days, not the full model run of 87 days) and there are days when the depth -averaged DO is below 5 mg/L. See the figure provided below. Flushing: • Model shows average water age somewhere around 11.5 days (estimating from the scale shown on Figure 10a and Figure 15a). • NC Water Quality Guidelines for Planning an Upland Marina Development (DWR, 2011 draft) notes that "EPA recommendations are a flushing reduction of 85%-90% in a 24 hour period (EPA, 1985)." • Guidance Specifying Management Measures for Sources of Nonpoint Pollution In Coastal Waters (EPA, 1993, Chapter 5 page 12) "However, if the marina was in a protected area, such as an estuary or embayment, where tidal ranges never attain 1.82 meters, then a minimum flushing reduction of approximately 85% per day was recommended." • Coastal Marina Assessment Handbook (EPA, 1985) "For most cases a two to four day flushing time is satisfactory while longer flushing times may not be acceptable (Boozer, 1979). Evaluation of the buildup of particular toxic pollutants or the decrease in dissolved oxygen would be required to better evaluate the adequacy of flushing for enclosed marina sites." Takeaway: When the entire marina basin and channel are averaged -together, it appears that DO is protected in that depth -averaged DO does not go below 5 mg/L. However, depth -averaged time series analysis at specific locations indicates that there are times when parts of the marina do drop below 5 mg/L. Flushing looks to be poor and against "recommended" guidelines as noted above. References: DWR, 2011 draft. NC Water Quality Guidelines for Planning an Upland Marina Development.

(Quible) on September 17, 2019 in response to the DWR Memorandum dated August 21, 2019 entitled "Flushing Model Review." DWR would like to take this opportunity to remind both, your client and Quible that DWR has not received a formal application for the proposed project and any response or comments provided by DWR are considered part of the pre -application and thus do not represent a final agency decision. After completion of the DWR's review, we offer the following comments: Quible Question 1. Is demonstrating that predicted average DO concentration in the marina basin and channel do not go below 5 mg/L not sufficient? Quible constructed a conservative model that factors in a SOD concentration of 1.5 mg/L (typically this value is used in organic soils, sandy soils have published concentrations closer to 0.4 mg/L) and we have predicted that the average DO for the basin and the channel is at or above the State Regulatory threshold of 5.0 mg/L. The 1990 Study Conclusions also state that while there are "significant differences between marina basins and ambient water were observed for fecal coliforms, chlorophyll a, and dissolved oxygen (DO), by there was no evidence that water quality conditions inside marinas were exported to adjacent ambient waters." Answer: In order to better understand the DO variability, a statistical distribution summary of the percentage of time that vertical -averaged DO concentrations are lower than 5 mg/I from each model cell within the proposed marina as well as the channel is needed. The channel and marina should be evaluated separately for this analysis. DWR does not recommend adjusting the model using a lower SOD value than 1.5 grams 02/m2-day. The North Carolina Coastal Marinas: Water Quality Assessment (Jan 1990) reported that: "sediment oxygen demand (SOD) was measured at three marinas. Rates were higher than expected, ranging from 2.60 to 5.36 g 02/m2-day in the marina basin." In addition, based on information provided in a Quible Memorandum dated January 8, 2019 regarding "Cape Currituck Hydrodynamic Model — Data Collection," organic matter was found at the top sediment core for Stations VC-3 and VC-4.

Any source of water pollution that precludes any of these uses on either a short-term or long-term basis shall be deemed to violate a water quality standard." Quible Question 2. IS providing a natural conditions model that demonstrates that the average DO in the basin and channel is at or above 5.0 mg/L is not acceptable, will DWR consider a model run using a lower SOD concentration from published data for sandy soils? Answer: Please see above for Answer to Question 1. Quible Comment 1. In the USEPA Coastal Marina Assessment Handbook, "Environmental Solutions" (5-8) "Mechanical Devices" In areas where tidal exchanges may not adequately flush the marina, mechanical means such as tide gates or one-way values may be used to enhance flushing rates. However, the performance of these systems should be carefully evaluated before installation. Such systems have been used in Florida to flush canals in dead-end lagoon developments. (Gianno and Wang, 1974) Response: As referenced in several past meetings between Quible and DWR and/or other resource and permitting agencies, an alternative analysis will have to be submitted as part of the Individual Permit application submittal that demonstrates the proposed action is the Least Environmentally Damaging Practicable Alternative. Question 3/Comment 2. If providing a natural conditions model that demonstrates that the average DO for the marina basin and channel is at or above 5.0 mg/L with poor flushing (we acknowledge that a specific flushing time is not a requirement to meet any specific rule or criteria, however, recommendations for flushing times that meet EPA and DWR guidance are desired) is not acceptable, will DWR consider a marina design and operation that employs mechanical flushing? Quible has prepared and submitted to DWR a flushing model that considers using intakes and pumps to manually enhance the recognized poor flushing times in the marina basin. Based on our model runs using mechanical pumps, we can reduce the basin flushing time to four days with predicted DO concentrations that do not go below 5.0 mg/L. If mechanical pumps are considered we recognize that in order to protect juvenile fish and invertebrate eggs and larvae, we would need to design pumps and screens that maintain a maximum intake velocity of 0.5 feet per second (or other appropriate velocity as determined after consultation with appropriate federal and state regulatory agencies) across a 3116' mesh screen that will surround the pump intakes. This will result in an average velocity of 0.3 feet per second. This low intake velocity will allow juvenile and adult fish to outswim the flow field. It will also restrict the risks of impingement and entrainment to egg and larval stages of fin- and shellfish. The greatest need for the use of a mechanical pumping system will be in the summer (June through September) and/or during periods of minimal wind -driven circulation. Exact mesh sizes, flow rates, pump times and pumping design can be discussed in greater detail if this mechanical method is accepted, at least in theory by the regulatory agencies. Answer and Response: DWR and other resource agencies have historically objected to the use of mechanical devices to meet established Water Quality Standards, both in the terms of the concern referenced above and the concern of long term operations and maintenance of the system. In addition, DWR would like to reiterate that other proposed alternatives will have to be evaluated that may result in less environmental impacts as part of the application review process.

The attached statistical analysis of simulated dissolved oxygen (DO) was prepared by Mr. Chris Reed (AECOM) on behalf of Cape Currituck. According to the attached report, ."...20% of the cells have a DO value below 5.0 mqlL 5 to 10% of the time, or similarly, 80% of the cells have a DO value above 5.0 mc A IL 95% or more of the time." In addition, the report states "The results for the Inlet Channel indicate very few occurrences of DO values below 5.0 mqlL". Based on the attached statistical analysis and our review of the 87-day model run, there is no evidence that the predicted DO concentrations in the proposed marina would contribute to DO concentrations below 5.0 mg/L in the Albemarle Sound.

President cc file Cape Currituck David May (via email) Robert Tankard (via email) Statistical Analysis of Simulated Dissolved Oxygen in the Proposed Marina at Cape Currituck A statistical analysis of the simulated dissolved oxygen (DO) in the proposed Marina at Cape Currituck has been completed. The analysis has been completed for two areas of the proposed Marina, the Marina basin and the channel leading into the basin. The areas are designated in Figure 1. The Marina basin contains 921 grid cells and the inlet channel contains 228 grid cells. Figure 1 Areas Used for the Statistical Analysis For each area, the depth averaged DO concentration for the 87-day model simulation was extracted at 30-minute intervals. This corresponds to 4,176 DO values for each cell. The number of DO values below 5.0 mgJL were counted for each cell and that number was divided by the total number of values to determine the percentage of time the DO was below 5.0 mgJL (referred herein to as PTDOB5). Note that the total number of values included in the analysis for a given cell was sometimes less than 4,176 because, for sometime intervals, the cell was dry and no DO value was recorded. The PTDOB5 for each cell in the two areas was then sorted from highest to lowest and then plotted to create a frequency distribution of the PTDOB5 over all cells. The results for the Marina Basin are shown in Figure 2. As an example of interpreting the plotted data, it is evident that 20% of the cells have a DO value below 5.0 mgJL 5 to 10% of the time, or similarly, 80% of the cells have a DO value above 5.0 mgJL 95% or more of the time. The results for the Inlet Channel are shown in Figure 3.

For clarity I have included DWR's comments and our response (italics) below. 1. It has been acknowledged within this application that some cells within the basin and channel did result in DO levels below 5.Omg/L during the modeling. The application states that 20% of the cells have a DO value below 5.0 mg/ L 5% to 10% of the time, or similarly, 80% of the cells have a DO value above 5.0 mg/ L 95% or more of the time. The results indicate the water quality in some areas of the proposed basin and access channel would result in DO levels below the 5.0 mg/L standard found in 15A NCAC 02B .0220 Tidal Salt Water Quality Standards for Class SC Waters. Please understand that the DO standard applies to all waters within the basin and access channel at all times. Revise your plan to comply with the standards found in 15A NCAC 02B .0220 Tidal Salt Water Quality Standards for Class SC Waters. Attached are updated flushing models and a Memorandum that explores basin and channel design alternatives to meet the 5.0 mg/L DO standard. The Memorandum and model runs were performed by Chris Reed, PhD. We explored a two channel condition, and a widened channel width (wider than the proposed 60 feet). Neither of these options improved the DO condition significantly. Multiple model runs were performed with a range of aeration rates to determine an aeration rate that will provide sufficient DO to prevent levels in the proposed Marina from dropping below 5.0 mg/L. The Memorandum is attached, and a copy of the modeling files can be found at the following Dropbox link: https://www. dropbox. com/scl/fo/wwfclgpdmzbxvtOpulxph/h?rlkey=vbca5ivb74s25ipgsa2 mo3mek&dl=0 and are also being delivered to DWR via email. Hard copies of the modeling files can be mailed or delivered to DWR upon request. Powells Point Harbor West Side Resorts, LLC Currituck County DWR #20221764 November 20, 2023 2. The model further predicted residence time of 5 -22.5 days within the proposed marina with an average water age of 11.5 days. The flushing capacity of the proposed marina basin appears to be poor and exceeds the recommended flushing times of the EPA and the North Carolina Water Quality Guidelines for Planning Upland Marina Development. Revise your plan to comply with the recommended flushing times provided in the guidance documents. The provided aeration model run demonstrates that the basin can always meet DWR water quality standards. Based on preliminary information provided by SOLitude, the proposed aeration system will turn the water body over 0.92 times per day. 3. In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0506 (b) the project should further demonstrate avoidance and minimization of impacts to open waters and wetlands to ensure that any remaining surface waters or wetlands, and any surface waters or wetlands downstream, continue to support existing uses during and after project completion. As proposed, the project would impact approximately 1.99 acres of 404 wetlands and 2.3 acres of open water. Please explain why additional minimization is not practicable. An avoidance and minimization summary along with an Alternatives Analysis was included in the permit application package. In addition, two alternate basin and channel designs were explored (discussion included in attached Memorandum) in response to this RFI. The project as proposed has been reduced in scale to the maximum extent practicable based on the intended use. 4. Mitigation- please provide a functional assessment of the wetlands to better justify why the mitigation offered may be appropriate once avoidance and minimization has been satisfied. Results of the NC WAM Wetlands Rating Sheet calculation are attached. Based on the data used, the function rating summary lists an overall wetland rating of Medium. Please note, the proposed impacts associated with creation of the marina access channel are limited to wetlands that have been completely overrun by Phragmites. Wetlands impacts associated with upland development are limited to 0.50 acres or less. Proposed mitigation is in the form of a payment to a mitigation bank. Mitigation bank payment was recommended by the USACE during one of the many scoping meetings that occurred during the planning process of this project.

In a previous effort, the EFDC+ model, supported by DSI's EFDC Explorer, was used for the analysis (reference). This model was used as a starting point for the additional analysis described here. The previous analysis results indicated that the D.O. in the harbor would fall below 5.0 mg/L for a small percentage of the time, due to the sediment oxygen demand (SOD) during periods of lower re -aeration. The low re -aeration occurred during periods of combined low wind speeds and low water velocities. The objective of this additional modeling is to explore alternative harbor geometries that may improve the D.O. levels and to estimate aeration rates that will yield D.O. levels above 5.0 mg/L. Preliminary Analvsis Prior to completing the modeling analysis, the previous model was modified to improve the model efficiency and better represent the harbor configuration. The first change was a reduction in the model spatial resolution. A review of the model grid indicated that the model resolution was extremely high, and not necessary for robust and reliable simulations. Therefore, the grid resolution was reduced by a factor of 2 in the lateral direction (not in the vertical). Thus, in two dimensions, the number of grid cells was reduced by a factor of 4. The reduction in special resolution combined with a subsequent increase in the model time step reduced the model run times by a factor of 8. The second change was to set all the grid cells in the harbor to -2.19 feet elevation. In the previous model some of the cells along the boundary of the grid has very low water depths (< 2.0 feet). A view of the original grid and the modified model grid are provided in Figures 1 and 2.

The modified model was run for the base case to assure that it yielded similar D.O. values as the original model. A comparison of the spatially average D.O. in the proposed Marina for the duration of the simulation (89 days) is provided in Figure 3. For the majority of the simulation period the average D.O. values are similar, except for the 10-day period from approximately 65 to 75 days. This period represents a very calm period in which the wind speeds were nearly zero, and the water elevation variations over the period were also low, yielding small velocities into and out of and within the proposed Marina. The original and modified model simulation results were analyzed to determine the source of the differences during the 10-day period. Ultimately the differences were traced to differences in the velocity characteristics in the simulations. The velocity magnitude for a cell in the center of the proposed Marina is shown in Figures 4 and 5 for the original and modified model. The velocity magnitudes are generally similar for both simulations, but the simulated velocities for the original model exhibit some high frequency oscillations prior to and through the 10-day period. These velocities enhanced the re -aeration of the water column and yielded the higher D.O. values seen in the original model. However, these oscillations are not realistic and are likely due to numerical effects. The oscillations are not apparent in the modified model simulation velocities. The modified model yields lower D.O. values for the 10-day period and is therefore providing conservative results. Note that the 10-day period with low wind speeds and proposed Marina velocities provides an extreme set of conditions for evaluating the D.O. in the proposed Marina. 10 9 8 7 m 6 E 5 O 4 0 3 2 1 0 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 Simulation Days —Original Model —Modified Model Figure 3 Distribution of spatially averaged D.O. in the proposed Marina 0.09 0.08 0.07 w 0.06 E 0.05 0.05 2, 0.04 0 7 0.03 0.02 0.01 000 1 9 18 27 35 44 53 63 70 79 88 Time (days) Figure 4 Original Model simulations velocity near the center of the proposed Marina 0.09 0.08 0.07 y 0.06 E 0.05 T 0.05 0.04 U O y 0.03 0.02 9.01 000 0 9 17 26 35 43 52 61 70 78 Time (days) Figure 5 Modified Model simulations velocity near the center of the proposed Marina. Marina Alternative Designs Two alternative designs were considered, (1) doubling the channel width and (2) a two -channel configuration intended to provide better flushing. For the second configuration, a simple channel alignment was used initially as a screening level approach. If the screening level configuration yielded improved results a more realistic channel alignment, that was arranged to avoid wetland impacts etc., would have been developed. In developing the two -channel model it was determined that the model area in the bay was too small to accurately represent the flows into and out of the harbor. Therefore, the model was modified to include a lager portion of the bay. A view of the two -channel model grid and the increased bay area is shown in Figure 6. Figure 6 Grid configuration for two -channel alternative The simulated D.O. levels based on the two alternative model geometries are shown in Figure 7. The plot shows the spatially average D.O. throughout the proposed Marina during the simulation period. The D.O. values are similar, and the impact of the alternative designs are negligible. 10 9 s 7 J 00 6 5 O 4 3 2 1 0 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 SO 90 Simulation Days —Original Design —wider Channel — Two Channels Figure 7 Simulated spatially average D.O. for original design and the alternatives Aeration Systems The areas and periods of low D.O. in the harbor may be eliminated with an aeration system. There are two basic approaches for aeration (a) diffusion systems and (b) mechanical systems. A diffused aeration system typically operates vertically. It sends up concentrations of bubbles from near the floor of a water body. Typically, the system comprises blowers, pipes and diffusers. Compressed air pumps through pipes and filters into the water through the diffusers, which create tiny bubbles. The bubbles displace and mix the water and create a vertical flow pattern, transferring oxygen into the water column as they rise. A conventional mechanical aeration system operates horizontally. It consists of a pump and tubing or a motor that turns a propeller. The system scoops up water and pushes it out. This churning creates a current and provides mixing. As the water churns, it draws in and absorbs air. The equipment mixes this aerated water with the rest of the water in the tank or lagoon and constantly brings in more air to aerate and mix. Model simulations have been conducted to demonstrate that an aeration system can improve the D.O. levels above 5.0 mg/L throughout the proposed Marina. The simulation of aeration in the EFDC model does not distinguish between diffused or mechanical systems. For either system, D.O. is added directly to the water column. Also, the EFDC model currently does not allow for a direct external source of D.O., and therefore it was necessary to introduce a small inflow into the proposed Marina with a near saturated D.O. level. A range of aeration rates were applied. The flow rates used ranged between 0.025 to 0.5 m3/s with a D.O. level of 8 mg/L. The D.O. loadings for each case are summarized in Table 1. Table 1 Summary of D.O. aeration conditions Case Aeration Rate (kg/day D.O.) 1 none 2 17 3 96 4 475 The results for each case are presented below. A plot of the initial case of no aeration is shown in Figure 8. The location of the simulated aeration heads is shown in Appendix A. The plot shows the maximum and minimum D.O. that occurs in the proposed Marina and the spatially averaged D.O. during the simulation period. The results for Cases 2 through 4 are compared to the no -aeration Case in Figure 9. This plot only shows the minimum D.O. occurring in the proposed Marina. The results indicate that a delivery of 415 kg/day of D.O. will improve the D.O. levels in the proposed Marina sufficiently to maintain the D.O. levels above 5.0 mg/L. Note that this level of D.O. delivery is driven by the extreme 10-day period and less aeration will be required for the majority of the time.

DISCLAIMER. SOLitude is not responsible for the failure of any treatment, equipment installation, or other work that result from dam or other structural failures, severe weather and storms, flooding, or other acts of God that are outside of the control of SOLitude. Customer understands and acknowledges that there are irrigation restrictions associated with many of the products used to treat lakes and ponds. The customer is responsible for notifying SOLitude in advance of the contract signing and the start of the contract if they utilize any of the water in their lakes or ponds for irrigation purposes. The customer accepts full responsibility for any issues that may arise from the irrigation of turf, ornamentals, trees, crops, or any other plants as a result of treated water being used by the customer for irrigation without the consent or knowledge of SOLitude. Although there is rarely direct fish toxicity with the products used for treatment when applied at the labeled rate, or the installation and normal operation of the equipment we install, there is a risk under certain circumstances of significant dissolved oxygen drops. This risk is most severe in times of extremely hot weather and warm water temperatures, as these are the conditions during which dissolved oxygen levels are naturally at their lowest levels. Oftentimes lakes and ponds will experience natural fish kills under these conditions even if no work is performed. Every effort, to include the method and timing of application, the choice of products and equipment used, and the skill and training of the staff, is made to avoid such problems. However, the customer understands and accepts that there is always a slight risk of the occurrence of adverse conditions outside the control of SOLitude that will result in the death of some fish and other aquatic life. The customer also understands and accepts that similar risks would remain even if no work was performed. The customer agrees to hold SOLitude harmless for any issues with fish or other aquatic life which occur as described above, or are otherwise outside the direct control of the SOLitude, unless there is willful negligence on the part of SOLitude. While SOLitude Lake Management LLC makes every effort to thoroughly inspect the site before providing this contract proposal or beginning any work, it is possible, without fault or negligence, that unforeseen circumstances may arise, or that hidden conditions on the site might be found in the course of the performance of the contract work, which would result in additional time or material costs that exceed this contract pricing. Should this occur, the customer will be notified of these unforeseen circumstances or conditions and be responsible for the costs associated with remedying. By signing this agreement, the customer acknowledges that they have informed SOLitude Lake Management® of all known and relevant current site conditions that would be reasonable to expect could affect our ability to successfully complete the contract work. 5. INSURANCE AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Solitude will maintain general liability and property damage insurance as necessary given the scope and nature of the Services. The Company will be responsible for those damages, claims, causes of action, injuries or legal costs to the extent of its own direct negligence or misconduct, and then only to an amount not to exceed the annual value of this Agreement. In no event will any party to this Agreement be liable to the other for incidental, consequential or purely economic damages.

Each party represents that neither it nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered, given, requested or accepted any undue financial or other advantage of any kind in entering into this Agreement, and that it will comply with all applicable laws and regulations pertaining to corruption, competition and bribery in carrying out the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 8. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Services are performed. 9. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter and replaces any prior agreements or understandings, whether in writing or otherwise. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by written agreement executed by both parties. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is determined to be void, invalid, or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected. 10. NOTICE. Any written notice provided under this Agreement may be sent via overnight mail, certified mail, hand delivery or electronic mail with delivery confirmation, to the individuals and addresses listed below. 11. BINDING. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the legal representatives and successors of the parties. 12. FUEL/TRANSPORTATION SURCHARGE. Like many other companies that are impacted by the price of gasoline, a rise in gasoline prices may necessitate a fuel surcharge. As such, the Company reserves the right to add a fuel surcharge to Customer's invoice for any increase in the cost of fuel as measured above the same time period in the prior year (by the National U.S. Average Motor Gasoline -Regular Fuel Price per Gallon Index reported by the U.S. Department of Energy). The surcharge may be adjusted monthly (up or down) with the price of gasoline. 13. E-Verify.

Place the Robust-AireTm Diffusers equidistant from each other at a depth that is representative for most of the pond. Please contact Kasco with any questions about placement or system operation. CAUTION: Do not use boats that tip easily for installation. Always wear a personal flotation device. 1. Kasco recommends marking the location of each diffuser at the surface with a buoy. 2. Unroll the SureSinkTm Tubing on shore to remove any twists or knots. Performance will decrease if the tube is not properly uncoiled. 3. Each tubing length is 100 feet. If more than one length of tubing is required to reach a diffuser location, connect any additional tubes according to the SureSinkTm Tubing instructions. Unroll these tubes as you did the first tube. You can load multiple rolls of tubes into a boat and connect them as needed while making your way to the proposed diffuser location. You can also connect any number of 100' lengths together and have someone assist in feeding it from shore. Cut off any excess tubing at the shore before connecting to the compressor. 4. Drop the loose end of the tubing near the compressor cabinet. Allow a few extra feet of tubing to work with so the tube will reach the cabinet after trenching between the shore and the compressor. 5. Drive the boat in reverse to keep tubing clear of the propeller and slowly make your way to the marking buoy, placing the tubing as you go. 6. Once you reach the marked buoy, thread a rope through the two holes of the diffuser base. Pull through until the midpoint of the rope is at the diffuser base. 7. While holding the two ends of the rope, gently lower the diffuser assembly into the water. 8. Continue slowly lowering the assembly until it reaches the bottom of the pond. The diffuser will always land right side up. 9. The Robust-AireTm Diffuser should now be seated properly on the bottom of the pond. You can remove the rope by pulling on one end. For ease of future maintenance, Kasco recommends leaving the rope looped through diffuser base and tying both ends to a marker buoy or duck decoy. This will allow you to easily locate diffusers and pull them to the surface for maintenance. 10. Repeat the process for additional Robust-AireTm Diffuser locations. Back to Contents LARGE CABINET INSTALLATION Choose a location far enough from shore to avoid potential flooding. If you use plantings to help hide the cabinet, be sure that both the inlet and the outlet vents are clear, as the compressor requires airflow to prevent overheating. The best foundation options include pea gravel, rubber mulch, and cement. Place the assembly directly on the ground or attach it to a concrete pad. Use the holes on the bottom flanges to anchor the cabinet. Place the cabinet adjacent to the electrical service which will power the system. The cabinet has 6-foot power cords with plugs. DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORDS. NOTE For remote manifold installation information, see supplementary instruction sheet. Le 37" 17 3/8" mountinq holes (x4) 16" Use the clamps included with the SureSink Tubing kit to complete connections to the compressor. Back to Contents STARTUP PROCEDURE IMPORTANT INSTALLATION WARNING Thermal stratification refers to layering that occurs in some lakes and ponds when warmer water sits on top of colder, denser water toward the lake bottom. If you install your unit into a body of water that is extremely stratified, use caution when starting the system. In some cases, colder water sitting on the bottom could hold gases that can be harmful to fish. Often, the colder bottom water also contains little or no dissolved oxygen. A simple test for thermal stratification is to use a thermometer to gradually check for water temperature changes between the top and bottom of the lake or pond. Measure temperature every two feet of depth. Keep the thermometer at each depth long enough to take an accurate temperature reading. Then quickly bring the thermometer to the surface and record the temperature at each depth. If the colder water (anything 4 OF colder than surface) represents more than 30% of the overall volume, start aeration at a slower pace by running the system for short intervals only. For a stratified lake, a suggested start-up interval might include running the system one hour per day for one week and gradually increasing the duration until the system is running continuously. Lakes and ponds react differently to diffused aeration, so exact time frames can be difficult to predict. Sunny days are preferable to cloudy days for system start- up, since photosynthesis will supplement oxygen levels as the water is mixed. If you have questions about this procedure, please contact your distributor or e-mail Kasco Customer Service at sales@kascomarine.com. WINTER OPERATION NOTE The system owner assumes all risks of operating the Robust -Aire TM system during winter months. Operating the Robust -Aire TM system during the winter or in freezing temperatures may create open areas of water at the diffuser locations. Ice surrounding those areas will be thin. Use extreme caution in the area to avoid injury or fatality from falling into the water. Use signs to indicate the danger to others. Check your local laws and ordinances; some areas require warning signs to be posted. In climates where temperatures fall below freezing, Kasco recommends insulating the air lines from the compressor cabinet to a minimum of 3 feet into the water (use low water level for reference). Prevent ice buildup in the lines by using closed cell polyurethane foam to insulate. Ice buildup can block the flow of air to your diffuser and cause damage to your compressor. Insulation should pass through the ice, into the open water below. Moving the diffusers closer to shore in winter will allow a small area of the shoreline to remain open, preventing winter kill. Back to Contents FILTER MAINTENANCE Warning! Product surfaces become very hot during operation. Allow compressor to cool before servicing. Disconnect electrical power before performing maintenance. • Check filter monthly. • Clean or replace intake filter when filter minder shows a red band. • Reset by pushing the small button on the minder top. • Failure to maintain clean air filter will lead to excessive heat and premature failure of the compressor. • Replacement air filter element part number: 771018 To access the intake fiIters, remove the lid of the cabinet. Reach under the lip on the front of the cabinet and pull the outside edges of the two toggle latches down to loosen.

The list may also include trust resources that occur outside of the project area, but that could potentially be directly or indirectly affected by activities in the project area. However, determining the likelihood and extent of effects a project may have on trust resources typically requires gathering additional site -specific (e.g., vegetation/species surveys) and project -specific (e.g., magnitude and timing of proposed activities) information. Below is a summary of the project information you provided and contact information for the USFWS office(s) with jurisdiction in the defined project area.

The primary information used to generate this list is the known or expected range of each species. Additional areas of influence (AOI) for species are also considered. An AOI includes areas outside of the species range if the species could be indirectly affected by activities in that area (e.g., placing a dam upstream of a fish population even if that fish does not occur at the dam site, may indirectly impact the species by reducing or eliminating water flow downstream). Because species can move, and site conditions can change, the species on this list are not guaranteed to be found on or near the project area. To fully determine any potential effects to species, additional site -specific and project -specific information is often required. .0p V Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act requires Federal agencies to "request of the Secretary information whether any species which is listed or proposed to be listed may be present in the area of such proposed action" for any project that is conducted, permitted, funded, or licensed by any Federal agency.

Probability of Presence Summary 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 "Supplemental Information on Migratory Birds and Eagles", specifically the FAQ section titled "Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting to interpret this report. Probability of Presence( ) <\ON 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 LIL 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. To see a bar's probability of presence score, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar. 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 ( ) 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. To see a bar's survey effort range, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar. 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. 3 probability of presence breedi season I survey effort no data SPECIES ]AN FFB MAR APR MAY JUN J AU WP OCT NOV DEC Eagle Non -BCC Vulnerable What does IPaC use to generate the potential presence of bald and golden eagles in my specified location?

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 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 (BCC), 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. k 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? 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 "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 Loring. What if I have eagles on my list? If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain ermi* 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 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.

A margin of error is inherent in the use of imagery; thus, detailed on -the -ground inspection of any particular site may result in revision of the wetland boundaries or classification established through image analysis. The accuracy of image interpretation depends on the quality of the imagery, the experience of the image analysts, the amount and quality of the collateral data and the amount of ground truth verification work conducted. Metadata should be consulted to determine the date of the source imagery used and any mapping problems. Wetlands or other mapped features may have changed since the date of the imagery or field work. There may be occasional differences in polygon boundaries or classifications between the information depicted on the map and the actual conditions on site. Data exclusions Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National mapping program because of the limitations of aerial imagery as the primary data source used to detect wetlands. These habitats include seagrasses or submerged aquatic vegetation that are found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of estuaries and nearshore coastal waters. Some deepwater reef communities (coral or tuberficid worm reefs) have also been excluded from the inventory. These habitats, because of their depth, go undetected by aerial imagery. Data precautions Federal, state, and local regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over wetlands may define and describe wetlands in a different manner than that used in this inventory. There is no attempt, in either the design or products of this inventory, to define the limits of proprietary jurisdiction of any Federal, state, or local government or to establish the geographical scope of the regulatory programs of government agencies. Persons intending to engage in activities involving modifications within or adjacent to wetland areas should seek the advice of appropriate Federal, state, or local agencies concerning specified agency regulatory programs and proprietary jurisdictions that may affect such activities.

ATTACHMENT F DO MONITORING PLAN Powells Point Harbor Resort Marina Development Dissolved Oxygen Monitoring Plan January 22, 2024 1.0 BACKGROUND Powells Point Harbor is a proposed resort marina community that would provide deep water access to the Albemarle Sound and Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIW) from the west side of Currituck County. A total of four (4) flushing models were performed during the planning phase of the project and the final channel and basin configuration is shown on the attached Figure 1. As configured, the model predicted that there would be instances during the warmest months of the year where dissolved oxygen (DO) levels would be slightly below the 5mg/L threshold in 20% of the cells 10% of the model run time of 87 days. Therefore, the applicant proposes to use a simple diffused air system that will supply 475 kg/day of forced air into twelve submerged aeration heads that are spread around the proposed marina basin. A model was prepared and submitted to NC DEQ DWR demonstrating that under this scenario there is not a predicted incident of DO below 5 mg/L in the basin or channel at any time. 2.0 MONITORING PROPOSAL A total of seven monitoring stations are proposed (by coordinates) as shown on the attached Figure 1-DO Monitoring Locations. During the months of June through September DO readings would be collected on one -foot intervals (from top to bottom) and in general accordance with EPA Region 4 SESDPROC-102-R4 (or most recent) on a weekly basis. During the months of October through May, DO concentrations would be collected on a monthly basis. Environmental scientists with Quible will oversee the sample collection for the first year and any adjustments to the sampling frequency, location or aeration volumes can be made. Quible would deliver to DWR, Currituck County and other interested parties a certified (professional seal or acceptable sworn statement) summary of findings on a quarterly basis or as frequently as DWR or Currituck County requires. DO monitoring would be performed using a properly calibrated instrument that is capable of collecting DO measurements in mg/L. Quible will assist the marina with purchase and maintenance of the appropriate DO sensor. 0:A2017\P17062\Drawings\P17062—EXHIBIT.dwg 1\23\2024 1:07 PM Tmurphy 1 ANY D {NELL5 d RONALD BENNETT P/N 9827793165 P1D 011200000010000 DB 1149 / PG 246 1 ian u , 1 i I 1 1 / I / \ !\✓-1 1 ❑\ PROPOSED AERATION DEVICE (TYP.)

Introduction The purpose of this report is for Quible & Associates, P.C. (Quible) to provide state and federal regulatory agencies with an updated Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) survey conducted in the Albemarle Sound/North River confluence immediately adjacent to and in close proximity of the subject property located in Currituck County. The Physical Property (Site) is located on the west side of US 158 and adjacent to Kilmarlic Golf Course located in Powells Point, North Carolina (Exhibit A Relevant portion of USGS Topographic Quadrangle -Point Harbor). The Site is accessible through the Kilmarlic Golf Course via West Side Lane. The Study Area for this updated SAV survey is shown on the attached Exhibit B, includes the proposed future boat channel and adjacent areas in the Albemarle Sound. The August 1st, 2022, SAV survey was conducted to examine the substrate of shallow waters adjacent to the Site for the presence or absence of SAV, and to document the conditions that may relate to SAV habitat. The SAV survey was conducted during the peak growing season as required by resource management agencies. Generally, low salinity SAV found in this area of the Albemarle Sound prefers low energy shallow water areas where significant photic penetration through the water column to the substrate persists. These species generally go dormant (with some exceptions) in the winter months as water temperatures decrease and foliage dissipates. II. Methodology The accompanying base map (Exhibit B) includes 2020 aerial photography provided by Currituck County with the study area identified, along with sampling stations and collected water depths. Water depth surveying was conducted throughout the Study Area on August 1st, 2022. Depths were collected by Environmental Scientists from Quible using survey -grade GPS. SAV surveying consisted of establishing five transects extending to a depth of -3.5 to - 4.0' (NWL) within and adjacent to the proposed channel alignment and a cursory analysis at depths exceeding -4.0' (NWL) within the Study Area. The detailed survey involved establishing and reviewing conditions along a series of transects and sampling stations to fully understand the extent and coverage of any SAV resource. The Braun- Blanquet method was utilized for this survey. At each sampling station, water depth, substrate type, and SAV scoring and identification was performed and recorded. After an initial reconnaissance, survey grade GPS was used to navigate to each sampling station along the transects. At each station, a 0.25-meter x 0.25-meter PVC quadrat was tossed haphazardly' into the water. This was done in triplicate at each sampling station to better understand the total cover and species of SAV throughout the Study Area (if any SAV was identified). Sampling/observation of the substrate was performed using a snorkel and mask in multiple free dives. The Braun-Blanquet method uses a scoring scale of 0 to 5 to determine the coverage of sea grasses based on ranges of SAV coverage. Each number starting with zero, gives a range of percent SAV coverages, with zero being bare (no grass) and 5 being the highest at >75% coverage. The scale is as follows: August 1 st , 2022 SAV Survey Powells Point Harbour, Powells Point, Currituck County, NC 0 = bare 0.1 = <5% cover with a solitary individual/shoot 0.5 = <5% cover with few individuals/shoots 1 = <5% cover with numerous individuals/shoots 2 = >5% cover and <25% cover 3 = >25% cover and <50% cover 4 = >50% cover and <75% cover 5 = >75% cover III. Findings and Observations On August 1st, 2022 the winds were 12-15 mph, with stronger gusts from the southwest. Wind, tide and precipitation rates resulted in above Normal Water Level (NWL) conditions for the Study Area, evidenced by wrack lines, beach shelving and water marks on cypress trees and marsh grass. Water depths collected at each of the sampling stations are plotted on Exhibit B (all depths relative to NWL). Included as Exhibit C is a spreadsheet that includes sampling station coordinates, depths and SAV coverage. The only evidence of SAV in this area included one small sparse patch (point 131/132) and one individual sprig of SAV at point 109. This minor occurrence of SAV was most likely from ripped up Ruppia maritima (Widgeon Grass) being carried from another location and rooting. This suggests possible rooted SAV in other nearby areas where habitat is more compatible for SAV growth. This species is a common occurrence in the Albemarle estuarine system. The substrate type throughout the Study Area is sand dominated overlying clays, peat and clayey sands. Near shore areas are predominately relic peat beds with scattered stumps and wood debris originating from the eroding shoreline. There were also small gravel beds found in some locations along the shoreline/near shore areas. Some small areas of exposed clay were found just past the areas of peat in the near shore. The sand bottom in the offshore area was highly rippled and aligned parallel to the shore by prevailing current and wind direction. There are some large-scale bars and troughs that are visible in aerial photography and evident from water depth soundings (See attached Exhibit B). IV. DISCUSSION and CONCLUSION The findings of this study indicate that the Study Area is not ideal for SAV growth and is not likely SAV Habitat. This is consistent with our initial SAV survey along the entire shoreline of the site in 2017. High energy, shifting sands, and low visibility combine to make the Study Area inhospitable for most SAV growth, with the exception of some sparse occurrences that take root form rafts of ripped up SAV passing through from wind events, but most likely will not survive or spread due to high energy and sand movement. This survey work was completed before any significant tropical storm systems affected our area. It should also be noted that Quible scientists reviewed two known SAV areas nearby and confirms that regionally, SAV growth seems to be near -normal for the Upper Albemarle/North River system.

INTRODUCTION This Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) Assessment has been prepared by Quible & Associates, P.C. (Quible) as a component of a CAMA Major Permit and Department of Army Permit required for dredge and fill activities and development within Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC) associated with the Cape Currituck Marina Resort Development (Figure 1-Relevant Portion of USGS Topographic Quadrangle -Point Harbor). An EFH assessment was requested by the US National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) in response to a request to dredge a 60 feet wide channel that is 3,300 feet in length to a depth of -8.0 relative to normal water level (NWL) and connecting an existing 10.4-acre pond (Broadhead Pit) to the Albemarle Sound as shown on the attached Figure 2-Proposed Development Concept. As defined in the Magnuson -Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSFCMA), EFH's are considered "those waters and substrate necessary to fish for spawning, breeding, feeding, or growth to maturity". II. PROJECT SUMMARY The Project Area (Site) is located on the western shore of the Lower Currituck mainland (Figure 1). The purpose of the proposed project (Cape Currituck Marina Resort) is to develop a deep -water marina resort community providing water access to the Albemarle Sound from the west side of Currituck County. Currituck County does not currently have a marina resort development (with deep water access suitable for sailboats and larger vessels using the ICW) on the Albemarle Sound. Specific design elements include the creation of a 208-slip full -service marina (fuel, pump out and ships store) and resort community offering mooring opportunities for up to 160 residential units (condominiums, cottages and townhomes), transient slips serving boaters on the ICW, and a mooring opportunity for a proposed Ferry System serving the Albemarle Region. The marina will be accessed from the Albemarle Sound via a 60 feet wide and 3,300 linear feet long boat channel dredged to a depth of -8.0 feet relative to normal water level (NWL). 1,700 feet of the channel will be dredged in the open waters of the Albemarle Sound. An additional 1,600 linear feet will be cut through a stand of Phragmites australis (Phragmites) dominated wetlands. The marina will be constructed within the existing 10.4-acre pond (former Broadhead Pit) resulting from a past sand mine operation. The attached Figure 2 -Proposed Development Concept that the developer is seeking to permit. Impacts for the proposed development include the excavation of the channel in the Albemarle Sound (2.34 acres), excavation of the 1,600 linear feet by 60 feet wide channel through riparian wetlands (1.43 acres of P. australis dominated wetlands) and 0.48 acres of proposed wetlands fill that is needed for road crossings, stormwater management and upland development. All acreages of proposed impacts are calculated using AutoCAD software, and based on USACE confirmed wetlands locations, surveyed boundaries and Site features. III. ANALYSIS OF SHELLFISH AND FINNED FISH, VEGETATION AND SUBSTRATE The NCDEQ website [http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/mf/habitat/maps] was queried as part of this Assessment. Based on the GIS data presented on the various DEQ pages, there do not appear to be any mapped Fishery Nursery Areas, Hard Bottom Habitat Areas, Shell Bottom Habitat areas, or SAV Habitat Areas (field confirmed by physical survey performed in 2017). Cape Currituck Marina Resort October 9, 2018 Powells Point, Currituck County, NC The project area does not appear on the Soft Bottom Habitat Area maps. However, sands, silty sands and soft sediments do occur in the project area. Based on our review of the shoreline and near shore environment to depths of approximately -10.0 feet (NWL) the deeper waters of the project area support hard crab fishing (evidenced by crab pots in waters of depths around -7.0 to -8.0 feet). The project area shoreline is shown on Coastal Habitat Protection Plan (CHPP) maps and the near shore of the project area does provide Water Column Habitat (0-3 and 3-6 feet) as listed in: http://Portal.ncdenr.org/web/mf/habitat/water-column#Function. A review of the South Atlantic Marine Fisheries Council (SAMFC) Essential Fish Habitat web mapping tool (http://myfwc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=961 f8908250a404ba99fac3a37a c723) shows that there are no mapped EFH's for any of the species managed by the SAMFC. A review of the Mid -Atlantic Marine Fisheries species list includes species that use the Albemarle Sound up to the Highway 17 Bridge (reference from List of Essential Fish Habitat Species by Waterbody in North Carolina -July 2009) and includes the following: Coastal Snapper/ E-Eggs Demersals Grouper L-Larvae J-Juvenile A -Ad u It Red Black Sea E,L,J,A Drum** Bass Bluefish Gag J, A Summer Gray J Flounder Snapper Spanish Crevalle J Mackerel Jack Sheepshead J **Note: Red Drum no longer managed by the MAMFC Quible & Associates, P.C. conducted an extensive reconnaissance of the substrate along the entire project area shoreline during our SAV Survey. Substrate sampling included establishing transects and reviewing the substrate firsthand by performing three or more shallow dives at each sampling location along the transect (please refer to the SAV Report -Attachment A). At each sampling station along the transects shown on Figure 1 of the SAV Report, a meter by meter quadrangle was haphazardly tossed (to produce a random result) three times and an experienced environmental scientist estimated the presence or non -presence of SAV (percent cover and species), shellfish, sediment type and any other general observations (e.g. wood, crab pot). In addition to the formal SAV Survey peformed in 2017, Quible conducted extensive water quality monitoring of the near shore and areas of deeper water (-8.0 feet NWL) along with collecting core samples using a Vibracore machine within the Project Area. Division of Coastal Management representatives reviewed the project area in 2017 and confirmed Quible's findings related to general sediment types and absence of SAV Habitat. A. Shellfish and Finned Fish In order to accurately represent shellfish and finned fish species composition in the vicinity of the project area, NC DEQ Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) and NMFS were asked if any sampling data was available from this area via email dated September 20, 2018. Based on correspondence Cape Currituck Marina Resort October 9, 2018 Powells Point, Currituck County, NC with NC DMF, it does not appear that there is any fish or shellfish sampling data available for this area. NMFS did not respond to the email request. There are areas of substantial SAV habitat mapped to the north of the project area and these SAV habitat areas are likely EFH for several species of finned fish. However, the SAV habitat areas are about 1.3 miles north of the project area. Based on the substrate analysis, review of readily available information on the States GIS web mapping portals, and correspondence with DMF representatives, the project area does not appear to support shellfish or shellfish habitat, other than the occasional Asiatic clam (Corbicula sp.) occurrence. B. Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) Survey A comprehensive SAV Survey was conducted within the project area on July 13, 2017. The final SAV Report has been included as Attachment A. The project area does not support SAV growth and this was confirmed during a Site visit by NC DEQ DCM and DMF staff on August 15, 2017. Monitoring of the project area for water quality parameters (to be used in basin flushing model) and collection of core samples occurred during the growing season of 2018. No SAV presence was observed at any time over the last two summers (two consecutive years with documented absence of SAV). In addition, an SAV survey was conducted in 2008 and no SAV was reported at that time. It is likely that the project area does not support SAV due to high wind and wave energy and a substrate that does not readily support SAV rooting (thin veneer of shifting sands overlying stiff hard clays, sand clays and peat with some areas of exposed marsh mat). C. Substrate The surficial sediments were described at each of the 61 sampling stations and descriptions are included in Table 1 of the SAV Survey Report (Attachment A). In addition, four three-inch core samples were collected from within the proposed channel alignment. The cores were collected using a Vibracore setup (vibratory motor, concrete vibrator and clamp attachment custom manufactured for Quible) and tripod and winch extraction mechanism. Photographs of the Vibracore setup are included as Attachment B. A descriptive core sample lithology along with corresponding depths and a cross section are included as Attachment C. Surficial sediments in the near shore are best described as a veneer of medium to coarse sands overlying stiff clays and sandy clays with relic peat beds and marsh mat occurring at the shoreline. Cross sections show that in the Albemarle Sound portions of the project there is a veneer of medium to coarse sand overlying clays and sandy clays of varying thicknesses. Sediments observed in the core samples collected in the marsh are generally the same as sediments found in the Albemarle, with the exception that there are additional sequences of back bay/marsh sediments found overlying the layers of medium to coarse sands and clays. Sediments in the core samples represent typical transgressive and regressive sea level sequences. IV. ANALYSIS OF POTENTIAL ADVERSE IMPACTS A. Water Quality Impacts Negative water quality effects from removal of sediments and potential "stirring" of sediments during hydraulic dredging activities may occur in any typical dredge project. Therefore, a dredge moratorium will be observed as recommended by NC DEQ DMF and NOAA NMFS. The basin and channel connection to the Albemarle Sound are currently being modeled to determine what water quality impacts can be expected in terms of dissolved oxygen and residence time within the basin, channel and receiving waters of the Albemarle. The DWR TMDL Monitoring Cape Currituck Marina Resort October 9, 2018 Powells Point, Currituck County, NC Unit approved a water quality monitoring schedule for the project. Quible measured water quality, weather data and corresponding wind tide fluctuations in the project area from June 2018 through September 2018. All the water quality and site -specific weather data will be submitted to the DWR TMDL Monitoring Unit when the hydraulic model has been completed and submitted. A full evaluation of any water quality impacts associated with the proposed channel and marina basin connection to the Albemarle Sound cannot be completed until a hydraulic model has been constructed. Results of the flushing model will be submitted to NC DWR, NC DCM and USACE when complete. B. Increase in boater traffic The project as proposed will increase boater traffic. An increase in boater traffic can lead to adverse impacts and the developer will need to propose design controls and mitigative measures to limit turbidity associated with boat wake in the channel, limit erosive force caused by boat wake in the channel that could lead to wetlands erosion. The marina will need to have dedicated sewer pump out stations, mechanisms/restrictions (by way of covenants etc.) in place to prohibit any in water boat repairs and Spill Prevention and Countermeasure Control Plan(s) (SPCC) for fuel storage and delivery as well as the sewage pump out facilities. Currituck County is requiring that the marina be a certified Clean Marina and there will be no stormwater discharges to surface waters as a result of the proposed project. C. Loss of habitat. Habitat loss will be limited to loss of shallow water habitat for the creation of the channel and the loss of riparian wetlands (area picked for channel location is dominated by Phragmites australis). V. PROPOSED MITIGATIVE MEASURES Mitigation for the proposed project is focused on offsetting habitat loss and restoring lost wetland habitat as a result of past mining and canal dredging activities. Impacts associated with the proposed project include 1. Dredge of the channel in the Albemarle (2.34 acres) 2. Dredge of the channel through P. australis (riparian wetlands) (1.46 acres) 3. Fill of Non -Riparian wetlands for upland development (0.48 acres) Proffered mitigation for the unavoidable and proposed impacts includes: 1. Payment to a mitigation bank at a ratio of 1:1 for riparian wetlands impacts and 2:1 for Non -Riparian wetlands impacts. See attached Letters of Credit Availability. 2. Implementation of an invasive species eradication program coupled with reintroduction of native species in the wetland's areas dominated by P. australis for a period of seven years. See attached Invasive species eradication quote along with prices for reintroduction of native seed and emergent wetlands plants. 3. Construction of a breakwater along the channel through the wetlands to diffuse erosive velocities created by boat traffic will be installed as well as a breakwater in the Albemarle to limit the need for maintenance dredging. All in water structures will require special consideration during design and implementation to account for manatees and sturgeon. All appropriate USFWS Guidance documents will be followed related to any endangered or threatened species. Cape Currituck Marina Resort Powells Point, Currituck County, NC October 9, 2018 VI. CONCLUSIONS The lack of SAV, hard bottom and shellfish habitat in the project area indicates that while the water column and soft sediment habitats exist, the project area itself is likely not Essential Fish Habitat for any of the SAFMC or MAFMC managed species.

Introduction The purpose of this report is for Quible & Associates, P.C. (Quible) to provide state and federal regulatory agencies with a report of findings for a Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) survey conducted within the Albemarle Sound immediately adjacent to and in close proximity of the subject property (Study Area) which is located in Currituck County. Cape Currituck is a 119.96 Acre property (Site) located on the west side of US 158 and adjacent to Kilmarlic Golf Course located in Powells Point North Carolina (Exhibit A Relevant portion of USGS Topographic Quadrangle -Point Harbor). The Site is accessible through the Kilmarlic Golf Course via West Side Lane. The Study Area shown on the attached Exhibit B, includes approximately 1,800 linear feet of shoreline and extends 1,600 feet into the Albemarle Sound. The July 13, 2017 SAV survey was conducted to examine the substrate adjacent to the Site to confirm the presence or absence of SAV, and to document the conditions that may relate to SAV habitat. The SAV survey was conducted during the peak growing season as required by resource management agencies. Generally, low salinity SAV found in this area of the Albemarle Sound prefers low energy shallow water (five feet or less) where significant photic penetration through the water column to the substrate persists. These low salinity species generally go dormant (with some exceptions) in the winter months as water temperatures decrease and foliage dissipates. II. Methodology The accompanying base map (Exhibit B) includes 2016 aerial photography provided by Currituck County with the study area identified, along with SAV sampling stations and collected water depths. Water depth surveying was conducted throughout the Study Area on July 13th, 2017 using survey -grade GPS coupled to a Seafloor Systems Single Beam Echo -Sounder. A bathymetric map (Exhibit B) was generated using the data gathered during the survey and AutoCAD software was used to illustrate existing bathymetric conditions. SAV surveying consisted of a cursory analysis of SAV throughout the Study Area followed by a detailed survey along predetermined transects. The detailed surveyed involved establishing and reviewing conditions along a series of transects and shallow water diving at each of the sampling stations to fully understand the extent and coverage of any SAV resource within the Study Area . At each sampling station, water depth, substrate type, and SAV identification was performed and recorded. An outboard powered skiff was used for navigation, mapping and a general base of operations. After the initial reconnaissance, survey grade GPS was used to navigate along each pre- established sampling transect to each of the sampling stations. At each sampling station, a 1.0-meter x 1.0-meter PVC quadrat (with holes so that it sinks) was haphazardly tossed' into the water. This was done in triplicate at each sampling station for statistical analysis of the total cover and species of SAV throughout the Study Area (if any SAV was identified). Sampling/observation of the substrate was performed by experienced environmental scientists while executing multiple free dives, while the other workers collected field data, navigated the boat, and viewed and analyzed bottom samples periodically (sediment and SAV; if present). 1 Haphazardly tossed is a term used to indicate that the quadrat was not systematically placed in a location that was observed prior to the quadrat lying on the substrate. July 13t", 2017 SAV Survey Cape Currituck, Powells Point, Currituck County, NC In general, the following information was recorded at each sampling station along the transects; as shown on the attached Exhibit B: ■ An estimate of aerial coverage for all species combined within a square meter quadrat (rounded to the nearest five percent); this method of estimating aerial coverage is somewhat standardized and is in use by many SAV investigators. The method is comparable to the graphic pages included in Munsell® soil color charts used by wetland scientists in estimating the distribution of mottles in a soil profile; ■ An estimate of aerial coverage (expressed as a percent) for each individual species within each quadrat (rounded to the nearest five percent)2; ■ A qualitative description of the substrate type; ■ A depth measurement at each sample station, using survey grade GPS III. Findings and Observations On July 13th, 2017 the winds were 10-15 miles per hour, with stronger gusts, from the south-southwest. Wind tide and precipitation rates resulted in near Normal Water Level (NWL) conditions for the Study Area; evidenced by wrack lines, beach shelving and water marks on cypress trees and marsh grass. In all areas evaluated (during the initial reconnaissance and during the triplicate bottom sampling at each of the 61 sampling stations), there was no rooted SAV encountered, nor were there any rhizomes present in any of the bottom samples analyzed. Water depths collected at each of the sampling stations are plotted on Exhibit B (all depths relative to NWL). Included as Exhibit C is a spreadsheet that includes sampling station coordinates, depths and SAV coverage. The only evidence of SAV in this area included sparse ripped up grass found along the beach as wrack and drifting at the water surface and in the water column. The ripped up SAV appeared to include Myriophyllum spicatum (Eurasian Watermilfoil), Valisneria americans (Wild Celery) and Ruppia maritima (Widgeon Grass). This suggests possible rooted SAV in other nearby areas where habitat is more compatible for SAV growth. These species are a common occurrence in the Albemarle estuarine system and extensive grass beds are known to exist both north and south of the Study Area. The substrate type throughout the Study Area is best described as a veneer of sand overlying clays, peat and clayey sands. Near shore areas exhibit a thinning sand profile overlying relic peat beds with scattered stumps and wood debris originating from the eroding shoreline. There were also small gravel beds found in some locations along the shoreline/near shore areas. Some small areas of exposed clay were found just past the areas of peat in the near shore. The sand bottom in the offshore area was highly rippled and aligned parallel to the shore by prevailing current and wind direction. There are some large-scale bars and troughs that are visible in aerial photography and evident from water depth soundings (See attached Exhibit B). 2 Please note that our findings did not include any SAV, so species composition was not applicable in this case. In the event that SAV was encountered, data collected at each sampling station would have been averaged together since sampling was done in triplicate in the vicinity of each station. 3 July 13t", 2017 SAV Survey Cape Currituck, Powells Point, Currituck County, NC IV. DISCUSSION and CONCLUSION The findings of this study indicate that the Study Area does not support SAV growth and is not likely SAV Habitat. High energy, shifting sands, and low visibility/high turbidity combine to make the Study Area inhospitable to SAV growth. This survey work was completed before any significant tropical storm systems affected our area. It should also be noted that Quible scientists reviewed two known SAV areas nearby and confirmed that regionally, SAV growth seems to be near -normal for the Upper Albemarle/North River system during the summer of 2017.

INTRODUCTION The site consists of two parcels of land (totaling 120.15 acres by survey) located adjacent to the Kilmarlic Golf Club/Residential Community and the Albemarle Sound (Attachment A -Relevant Portion of the USGS Topographic Quadrangle -Point Harbor, with Site Identified). In 2008, Currituck County approved a conceptual development plan for the Cape Currituck Marina (now referred to as Powells Point Harbor) community. Due to the recession, the development never progressed. A CAMA Major Permit for the proposed development was accepted as complete on December 1, 2023, by NC DEQ Division of Coastal Management. The permit was withdrawn by the applicant on December 12, 2023. Powells Point Harbor, as shown on the attached Figure 1 (CAMA Major Permit Plans- Sheets 1-4), received zoning approval by the Currituck County Board of Commissioners (see Attachment B-February 18, 2019, Minutes) and a flushing model was performed and accepted by the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (Attachment C). Please note, the approved and proposed Marina Resort Concept is an overall reduction in residential units (237 to 160 units) and total wetlands impacts from earlier concepts. The applicant will be required to seek a Special Use Permit from the Currituck County Board of Commissioners for the proposed marina as shown on the attached Figure 1. The Special Use Permit would contain language that regulates the operation of the marina and proposed aeration system to ensure that the aeration system is maintained for the life of the marina. This concept has been discussed with DWR, the applicant and Currituck County. The applicant is seeking approval of the CAMA Major Permit and would then work with DWR and Currituck County to draft an acceptable monitoring and maintenance plan of the aeration system that would be included in the conditions of the Special Use Permit. II. EXISTING CONDITIONS The property is a mix of wetlands with approximately 20 acres of uplands surrounding an existing reclaimed sand mine which is known as the Broadhead Pit. There are approximately 1,800 linear feet of shoreline located within the Project Area. There are two major wetland types found on Site, Riverine Swamp Forest, and Salt/Brackish Marsh (NC WAM). A large swath of Salt/Brackish Marsh (+/- 42 Acres) has been overtaken by Phragmites australis that likely gained a foothold during mining and canal digging that occurred on the property in the past (1970's). At one time in the past, there was a connection of interior canals to the Albemarle Sound —this is still reflected on the USGS topographic maps and can be seen on the historical aerial photographs. Today, the interior wetlands are not directly connected to the Sound due to natural sand berms that have formed along the shoreline. However, during tropical storms, over wash has been observed in the marsh indicating that at times, water from the Sound is pushed into the wetlands. During normal water and low wind tide events, we have observed water from the interior wetlands seeping through the shoreline into the Sound. Uplands on Site are maintained grasses, pines, and unimproved paths and roads. There is a single-family residential home on the property along with horse barns and paddocks. A large, 10-acre lake that was a historic borrow pit constructed in the 1970's is located on the property. Prior to the 1970's, the Site was agricultural fields. Historical aerial photographs of the property dating back to 1952 are included as Attachment D. III. PROPOSED WORK The applicant proposes to construct a marina resort style community with a mix of single-family residences, townhomes, condominiums, and supporting light commercial around the existing Powells Point Harbor Resort Marina Development NC DCM CAMA Major Permit January 23, 2024 10-acre lake, which is proposed to be connected to the Albemarle Sound via a 60 feet wide 8.0 feet deep navigation channel excavated through Phragmites australis. The creation of the marina involves connecting the existing lake (boat basin) to the Albemarle Sound via a canal through existing Phragmites dominated non -coastal wetlands. The existing lake has water depths that are deeper than the proposed connecting water depths of -8.0 feet (relative to NWL). Therefore, the lake bottom will be filled with clean sandy material and regraded to depths of -8.0 ft (NWL) using sands from proposed dredging and if needed, a local source to match the proposed connecting water depths in the Albemarle. The proposed canal will be excavated through Phragmites dominated non -coastal wetlands measuring 1,257 linear feet in length (centerline) with a total width of 60 feet to a depth of -8.0 feet (NWL) out into the Albemarle. Proposed impacts to wetland habitats from the creation of the upland marina basin are: • 48,709 square feet of Phragmites dominated non -coastal wetlands, • 15,278 square feet of open water ponds within the non -coastal wetlands complex, and • 31,617 square feet of uplands Total impacts to wetlands/open ponds under the proposed channel alignment equal 65,740.4 square feet or 1.51 acres. The canal cut will also impact 31,617 square feet of uplands. Two bulkheads measuring 251 and 213 linear feet are proposed along the upland section of the channel cut to stabilize the channel entrance to the basin. A 1,674 linear feet and 60 feet wide channel will extend from the shoreline to an existing water depth of -8.0 feet NWL, equaling 100,440 square feet (2.3 acres) of open water impacts. A plat showing the breakdown of proposed impacts along with wetland types (NC WAM) and area of the various habitats found on the property have been included as Figure 1. Two slotted breakwaters are proposed to run along both sides of the canal cut through wetlands to the Albemarle (due to the angle of the proposed canal, the northern edge of the canal would measure 1,256 liner feet and the southern edge would measure 1,244 linear feet through Phragmites dominated wetlands). These breakwaters are proposed to help stabilize the channel, dissipate wave and boat wake energy, and allow water to flow into and out of the adjacent wetlands. At the mouth of the channel connecting to the Albemarle, two 150 linear feet jetties are proposed along with shorter tapering jetties as shown on the attached CAMA Major Permit Plan. The jetties would taper from the 150 If at the channel to 80 and 55 linear feet. This three jetty system is proposed to limit the near shore sediment transport and limit channel dredge maintenance. Two bulkheads measuring 251 and 213 linear feet are proposed along the upland section of the channel cut to stabilize the channel entrance to the basin. The basin edge will not be bulkheaded and the 30 feet buffer would be left in a natural state. 166 total boat slips with accompanying piers and finger piers are proposed. This would allow one slip for each residence in the community and six large slips for transient use. A total of 12 docks are proposed and include (see corresponding dock numbers on the attached full sized (24" x 36") Site Plans): (1) 141 If by 8 ft floating dock with one 5 If access pier, (2) 145 If by 8 ft floating dock with 5 If access pier. (3) 123 If by 8 ft floating dock with one 75 If access pier, (4) 340 If by 8 ft floating dock with two 6 If access piers, (5) 119 If by 8 ft floating dock, Powells Point Harbor Resort Marina Development NC DCM CAMA Major Permit January 23, 2024 (6) 326 If by 8 ft floating dock with two 8 If access piers, (7) 160 If by 8 ft floating dock with one 8 If access pier, (8) 160 If by 8ft floating pier, (9) 558 If by 10 ft floating dock with fueling facilities, (10) 396 If by 8 ft floating dock with three 8 If access piers, (11) 177 If by 8 ft floating dock with one 10 If access pier, (12) 450 If by 6 ft pier with 50 If by 20 ft platform A total of 122 floating finger piers are proposed including: • (34) 12 If by 3 ft • (81) 20 If by 3 ft • (7) 25 If by 3 ft Fueling facilities are proposed along Dock 9. Two dispensers are proposed along the dock with a fuel line connecting to two underground storage tanks (USTs) located under the proposed parking area adjacent to the boat ramp and docking facility. Sewage pump -out will be offered for the marina. The pump out will be connected to the proposed wastewater treatment facility that would service the community. "No Overboard Discharge/Sewage Pump out Available" signs will be placed on each of the 12 docking facilities in visible locations. A public boat ramp is proposed to be constructed adjacent to the proposed restaurant. The concrete ramp will be poured and cured on land and placed into the water once the concrete is dry. No live concrete will be poured below NWL. A 2,518 If by 6 ft wide wooden boardwalk with 13 accessways (varying from 15-36.5 ft), and elevated 3 ft above wetland substrate, is proposed to wrap around the basin to offer pedestrian access to the various piers and slips around the marina. The boardwalk will be constructed along the shoreline over wetlands, but not over the water. A total of 1,265 sf of the accessways will be over uplands. The shoreline of the basin will not be hardened and a natural emergent wetland vegetated shelf around the basin will be maintained and promoted. A 105 If bulkhead with two 20 LF wingwalls, is proposed to stabilize the area in front of the proposed restaurant. Proposed development includes construction of up to 160 total residential units and all required and associated infrastructure. Residential units will be a mix of townhomes, condominiums, and single-family units. The proposed marina community includes a ship's store, light retail and a restaurant. An existing soil road that extends from West Side Lane across the property to the northwest is a deeded easement and sole point of access to the adjacent property to the northwest. This existing soil road is proposed to be improved with gravel and widened to meet minimum standards for emergency vehicle access and provide access to the adjacent property and the proposed wastewater treatment plant. Based on a review of historic aerial photography and USGS topographic maps, this road has been in use since the 1940's and currently crosses a man-made canal (dug in the 1970's), which appears to have been dug in what was once a natural water course. The road leading to the proposed wastewater treatment plant needs to be widened to provide the minimum required drive aisle widths (20 feet minimum) for emergency vehicles and improved with gravel to provide the required all-weather driving surface suitable for emergency vehicles and fire trucks and provide the County required pedestrian access (see Attachment B- Approval Minutes from Currituck County BOC). A 722 LF pedestrian walkway is also proposed along the north side of the gravel improved road. This walkway will be timber and will not cross Waters of the US. Powells Point Harbor January 23, 2024 Resort Marina Development NC DCM CAMA Major Permit The existing culvert is only 32 inches in diameter and is angled incorrectly and in poor condition. This undersized and damaged culvert does not provide adequate circulation and aquatic passage. A new 60-inch culvert is proposed to replace the existing culvert and will be buried a minimum of one foot below the existing canal substrate. All proposed development is shown on the attached Figure 1- CAMA Major Permit Plan. IV. PURPOSE AND NEED The purpose of the proposed project is to develop a resort marina community providing deep water access to the Albemarle Sound and Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIW) from the west side of Currituck County. Currituck County does not currently have a resort waterfront development with deep water access suitable for sailboats and larger vessels using the AIW on the Albemarle Sound. The property where the proposed development is located is currently listed as "Full Service" by Currituck County's Land Use Plan. Destination resort style development with opportunities for short term rentals fits the County's Economic Development goals for Lower Currituck, and the project as proposed would offer opportunities for transient vessels, time shares, short term rentals and access to area amenities (golf courses, area beaches, deep water marina, waterpark) as well as providing permanent deep -water access to the Albemarle Sound. This location also has the potential to tie into the proposed Inner Banks Ferry System. V. ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS A total of eight development options (including No Development and Alternate Sites Analyses) have been considered for this project and each of the options are discussed in detail below. A. 2008 County Approved Master Plan (Original Concept) A comparison of environmental impacts associated with the 2008 Developer's Approved Option (2008 Master Plan) and the Developer Preferred Option are as follows: RESOURCE IMPACT' 2008 MASTER PLAN Project As Proposed Riverine Swamp Forest 92,240.9 square feet (2.11 Acres) 0.0 Acres Fill Non -riparian Wetlands 0.0 Acres 20,908.8 0.48 Acres Excavate Phragmites wetlands3 includesponds) 17,188 65,740.4 (1.51 Acres) Public Trust 8,0744 100,440 2.3 Acres Shallow Bottom 8,074 100,440 (2.3 Acres) Notes: 1. Impact areas measured using Auto CAD software. 2. The 2008 Approved Master Plan (County Master Plan Approved 2008) option considers a boat channel with three 90 d. turns which is not allowed per 15A NCAC 07H .0208 (b) (1) (G) . 3. Wetlands dominated by P. australis. 4. 2008 developer preferred option channel depth -5.0 NWL: not feasible for Proposed Project Purpose and Need. It should be noted that the 2008 Approved Master Plan (County Master Plan Approved 2008) option considered a boat channel with 90 degree turns which is not allowed per 15A NCAC 07H .0208 (b) (1) (G), and the proposed depths were -5.0 feet relative to normal water level. These depths and sharp turns would not accommodate the types of vessels that the current marina is designed to attract, and this option is dismissed from further consideration. An amended Master Plan was approved by the Board of Commissioners on February 18, 2019. Powells Point Harbor Resort Marina Development NC DCM CAMA Major Permit January 23, 2024 B. Developer Preferred Option -Project as Proposed The Developer Preferred Option is the Project as Proposed. RESOURCE IMPACT' PROJECT AS PROPOSED Riverine Swamp Forest 0.0 Acres Fill non -riparian wetlands 20,908.8 (0.48 Acres) Phragmites wetlands2 includesponds) 65,740.4 (1.51 Acres) Public Trust 100,440 2.3 Acres Shallow Bottom 100,440 2.3 Acres Notes: 1. Impact areas measured using Auto CAD software. 2. Wetlands dominated by P. australis. C. Alternate Channel Configuration This option involves a channel connection to the basin using existing canals with a connection to the basin. This alternate channel minimizes impacts to Salt/Brackish Marsh but involves right angle turns. A comparison of impacts associated with the Alternate Channel Configuration and the Project as Proposed are as follows: RESOURCE IMPACT' ALT CHANNEL PROJECT AS PROPOSED Riverine Swamp Forest 0.0 0.0 Non -riparian wetlands 0.48 Acres 0.48 Acres Phragmites wetlands2 includesponds) 53,063 square feet (1.22) 65,740.4 (1.51 Acres) Public Trust 106,518 square feet 2.41 103,522 2.37 Acres Shallow Bottom 106,518 square feet 2.41 103,522 2.37 Acres Notes: 1. Impact areas measured using Auto CAD software. 2. Salt/Brackish Marsh dominated by P. australis. E. No Development Option If the property is not developed as proposed, it is likely that at some point in the future the property would be developed as multi -family or single-family home sites. An 18- home cottage community was developed adjacent to Kilmarlic along Highway 158 in recent years. This 18-home community is geared towards rentals and supporting the golf community, and the units are fully rented or sold with new housing starts underway. West Side Resorts LLC now owns the property and intends to develop it; therefore, the No Development Option is not viable. F. Open Water Marina Option An open water marina could be proposed on this property as there is upland access (albeit narrow) to the Albemarle Sound. The goal of the proposed development is to attract users of the Intracoastal Waterway (AIW), sailboats and a mix of open runabout type of boats. An open water marina would require dredging to provide adequate water depths or would need to be placed 1,600 feet out into the Sound (distance from shore to -8.0 water depths: relative to NWL). This distance, plus the distance to upland - based infrastructure to support the desired mixture of boats would put the mooring field nearly one-half mile from the proposed development. This option is not feasible, in Powells Point Harbor Resort Marina Development NC DCM CAMA Major Permit January 23, 2024 terms of cost (strictly analyzed in terms of distance to extend utilities) and acreage of Public Trust Capture (Public Usurpation) required to meet the Purpose and Need of the proposed development. If an open water marina was proposed to be sited adjacent to the shoreline, a large area of dredging would be required to achieve the desired depths to accommodate boats from the AIW and this could result in usurpation of approximately 7.5 Acres of Public Trust Waters. A comparison of impacts associated with the Open Water Marina Option compared to the Developer Preferred Option are as follows: RESOURCE IMPACT' OPEN WATER MARINA PROJECT AS PROPOSED Riverine Swamp Forest 0.0 0.0 Non -riparian wetlands 0.48 0.48 Acres Phragmites wetlands2 includesponds) 0.0 65,740.4 (1.51 Acres) Public Trust 7.5 Acres 103,522 2.37 Acres Shallow Bottom 7.5 Acres 103,522 2.37 Acres Notes: 1. Impact areas measured using Auto CAD software. 2. Salt/Brackish Marsh dominated by Phragmites australis. Given the impacts to Public Trust and the distances between the marina resort development, the Open Water Marina Option is not viable and is not considered further. G. Conveyor Belt/Mechanical Lift Marina Option This option would involve the construction of a lift or conveyor belt apparatus that would accept a boat out in the open water of the Albemarle Sound and transport vessels 1,300 feet (would still need to dredge the open water channel) over wetlands and deposit the boat into the existing on -site lake. This development option has been considered briefly and would not be a feasible option for the types of boats (large AIW yachts and sailboats) that the marina is designed to attract. This option is not viable and is not being considered further. H. Residential Development -No Marina Without a marina, the property may be developed as residential property. Due to the proximity to a golf course, Albemarle Sound and the Outer Banks beaches, land in this location is valued relatively highly. A high -end resort style development coupled with a marina (unique to Currituck County) is likely the highest and best use of the property. The developer is relying on the construction of a marina to drive the demand for the 160 units as shown on the housing component of the proposed development. Currituck County and Kilmarlic have a large inventory of undeveloped properties with frontage on golf courses, lakes, and Albemarle Sound. The County was only willing to allow for the development of up to 50 total units (or less) if the marina is not able to be permitted in the 2019 Board of Commissioners hearing and approval. The current development plan is backed by investors that desire to create a marina community with access to the Albemarle Sound, which would be unique in Currituck County. Given the current inventory of similar properties with proximity to golf and lakes in lower Currituck, residential development without a marina would not be a viable option for the developer. Powells Point Harbor Resort Marina Development NC DCM CAMA Major Permit January 23, 2024 I. Off Site Development Considerations There are Sites along the Albemarle Sound and North River with the potential to be developed into upland harbors by virtue of waterfront access and uplands that extend to the shoreline of the Albemarle. One potential Site is located north of the selected Project Area on a property formerly known as the Webber Tract. This property was the subject of several feasibility sketches and concept plans back in the mid to late 2000's. Like much of the North River and Upper Albemarle coastline along Currituck County, the shoreline and shallow water areas adjacent to this property have large expanses of Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) beds and are therefore Essential Fish Habitat. Another property with sound frontage (and currently up for sale) owned by the Griggs family is located just south of the proposed Project. This property has uplands that adjoin the shoreline, but there is a history of unauthorized wetlands impacts, and SAV resources have been observed along the shoreline. The Griggs property is listed for sale, is much larger, and the price per acre is significantly higher than the Powells Point Harbor property. The Griggs property may support a small marina development concept in the future, but given the high cost, Conservation Zoning, large expanse of Juncus marsh with minimal upland connection, presence of SAV and EFH, and history of unauthorized wetlands impacts, this property does not appear to be a viable alternative. There do not appear to be any other properties on the western shore of the Currituck Peninsula that offer the opportunity that the Powells Point Harbor property has in terms of being able to connect an existing lake to the Albemarle and support vessels using the AI W. VI. AVOIDANCE AND MINIMIZATION The proposed marina development has been designed to promote flushing to the maximum extent practicable, while limiting impacts to wetlands and shallow water habitat by selecting a channel through Phragmites wetlands and to a connecting water depth of -8.0 feet relative to NWL. The developer wanted a total depth of -10.0 feet NWL, but this depth has been reduced to lessen channel length, decrease public trust impacts and avoid lower dissolved oxygen (DO) waters (found to occur at deeper depths in the Albemarle during summer months). The uplands development proposes a total of 160 units (originally approved for 237 units), 166 wet boat slips and light commercial to serve the development, marina and surrounding community. The preferred development option provides an additional 30 feet buffer from natural wetlands (as required by County regulations). The development will be served by a central wastewater treatment system with disposal proposed to go on the adjacent golf course. A force main and pump stations will be used to service all of the development, as well as the pump out available to the marina, and be routed to a wastewater treatment facility on the northeast side of the property. All clean effluent from the treatment facility will be routed onto the adjacent golf course to a pre -approved area. The full design of the wastewater system will be contingent upon approval for a CAMA Major Permit. The wastewater treatment plant and disposal area would be permitted through the NC DEQ DWR. Please note, the existing lake (proposed basin) was created out of agricultural lands (see historic aerial photography). Fringe wetlands have naturalized around the lake, but these wetlands appear to be the result of the Mine Reclamation activities/attempts after the mine was decommissioned. As proposed, the total wetland fill impacts for the upland development are 0.48 acres; which includes filling for road crossings and upland fill to achieve the proposed density (160 units; down from 237 units), provide adequate stormwater management and Powells Point Harbor January 23, 2024 Resort Marina Development NC DCM CAMA Major Permit provide for all appropriate setbacks. Impacts from the channel creation are limited to 1.51 acres by limiting the channel width to 60 feet. The channel orientation is the most direct route to the Albemarle Sound that avoids natural wetlands that have not been overrun with Phragmites, and also avoids the need to remove mature cypress and other higher value trees and wetland habitats. The selected channel orientation is the result of years of planning and discussing with regulatory and permitting agencies through a series of scoping meetings. The project has been designed to avoid and minimize impacts to natural wetlands. All resource agency (USFWS, NOAA, NC WRC, DWR, and NC Fisheries) recommendations guidance would be followed during construction activities. VII. THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES CONSIDERATION United States Fish and Wildlife (US FWS) Biologist, Kathryn Matthews was contacted via email and telephone on June 19, 2018, to discuss the proposed project and impacts to threatened and endangered species. Ms. Matthews indicated that USQUARE FEETWS will coordinate directly with the USACE as required under Section 7 of Endangered Species Act. On January 19, 2024, Quible queried the USFWS Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) website and entered the project location. IPaC generated a list of species (referred to as trust resources) and are included as Attachment E. This list is included as a reference and not intended to be considered for Consultation. However, Quible used this list and previous information from USFWS and other resource agencies to assist in the location and design of the proposed development. Threatened, Proposed Endangered and Endangered mammals listed as potentially affected by activities in the proposed project area include West Indian Manatee's, Northern Long Eared Bats and Tricolored Bats. However, the project area is not considered critical habitat for these species or critical habitat has not been designated. The USFWS will coordinate directly with the USACE as required under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act. Threatened, and Endangered bird species listed as potentially affected by activities in the proposed project area include the Eastern Black Rail, Piping Plover, Red -cockaded Woodpecker and Rufa Red Knot. The proposed project area does not overlap with critical habitat for the Piping Plover and no critical habitat has been designated for the Eastern Black Rail. A review of the proposed critical habitat found in Federal Register Vol. 86 No. 133 reveals that the proposed project is not critical habitat for this species. Therefore, the proposed project would not likely have an adverse impact on any listed Threatened or Endangered species. The USFWS will coordinate directly with the USACE as required under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act. Threatened and Endangered reptile species listed as potentially affected by activities in the proposed project area include American Alligator, Green Sea Turtle, Kemps Ridley Sea Turtle Leatherback Sea Turtle, and Loggerhead Sea Turtle. However, the project area is not considered critical habitat for these species or critical habitat has not been designated. The USFWS will coordinate directly with the USACE as required under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act. No bald eagle nests have been spotted on the property. However, bald eagles do frequent the shoreline and eagles have been seen on the property on several occasions. Bald Eagles are common in Lower Currituck and along the shoreline of the Albemarle, especially in the winter months (after Osprey migration). According to Ms. Matthews in 2018, there were no Northern Long Eared Bat roosts near the Site, but this information will need to be updated during the ESA process. Atlantic Sturgeon are known to inhabit the waters of the Albemarle. All in -water IN Powells Point Harbor January 23, 2024 Resort Marina Development NC DCM CAMA Major Permit construction would be performed conventionally, and in a manner that allows for the passage of fish and in accordance with any required mitigation plan. Proposed work (as currently planned) would involve in -water construction of a marina and all associated infrastructure. All appropriate USQUARE FEETWS guidance will be followed during construction (Manatee, Sturgeon etc.). Jetties and breakwaters are proposed to protect the channel from filling in seasonally and during larger storm events limiting maintenance dredge requirements. In addition, the channel through the Phragmites wetlands will have a breakwater (with slots at one inch for every foot of wall) to eliminate boat wake. General construction activities in waters used by the West Indian Manatee are required to follow mitigation guidance provided by USQUARE FEETWS. Vill. FLUSHING MODEL Several flushing models have been constructed, analyzed and provided to the NC DEQ Division of Water Resources (DWR) for the Proposed Project. DWR indicated in a letter dated March 26, 2020, that the original model was valid and appropriate to reference during the permitting process. After a statistical analysis, the model results indicate that no more than 10 percent of the depth averaged dissolved oxygen concentrations at a given location are below 5mg/L over the 87-day model run time. Copies of the flushing model narratives and memorandums and all associated correspondence, including the March 26, 2020, letter from DWR indicating that the flushing model is valid and is appropriate to reference in the application process is included as Attachment C (Flushing Model Documentation). Flushing model files have been submitted directly to DWR for review. A CAMA Major Permit was submitted and accepted as complete on December 1, 2022. In response to the CAMA Major Permit application, DWR issued a Request for Additional Information (RFI) on February 13, 2023. The RFI placed a hold on the CAMA Permit application and requested that the applicant "...revise your plan to comply with the recommended flushing times provided in guidance documents". In response to the DWR RFI, additional modeling was performed by Dr. Chris Reed and submitted to DWR along with responses to other requests on November 20, 2023. The additional modeling included exploring changes to the marina layout by adding a "flow through channel' and also looking at variables within the accepted model to better understand where changes could be made to improve dissolved oxygen concentrations. The additional modeling did not yield any better results than the originally submitted flushing model and marina layout. Therefore, the proposed basin and channel configuration is the best possible layout for water quality. After a series of meetings with DWR, it was determined that aeration could be proposed as a method to ensure that the marina meets the dissolved oxygen requirements of 5 mg/L at all times. The marina flushing model (without aeration) predicted that there would be instances during the warmest months of the year where predicted DO levels would be slightly below the 5mg/L threshold in 20% of the cells 10% of the model run time of 87 days. Statistical analyses of the original "accepted model' are presented in the Statistical Analysis memorandum included in Attachment C. In response to DWRs RFI, an additional model was created using aeration. The "aeration" flushing model was submitted to DWR on November 20, 2023, for review and approval. The aeration model predicts that DO for the marina would be at or above 5mg/L at all times by adding 475 kg/day of DO to the basin. The preferred method for achieving this would be through the use of a diffused aeration system. All flushing model files have been submitted directly to DWR. Summaries and narratives of the flushing models along with additional information about the proposed diffuse aeration system are included in Attachment C. W Powells Point Harbor Resort Marina Development NC DCM CAMA Major Permit January 23, 2024 The results of the flushing model and predicted aeration volumes were forwarded to SOLitude Lake Management (SOLitude) for review and design and specification of a diffused aeration system. SOLitude provided technical guidance for the type of system, optimal diffuser head locations and also pricing for the system. Technical information related to the proposed aeration system along with system pricing is included in Attachment C. Please note, the costs for the diffuser aeration system and installation are approximately and only $32,224.00. Based on the results of the flushing model and input from SOLitude, 12 aeration heads are proposed to be placed around the marina as shown on the attached Figure 1. Air would be pumped through tubing to the submerged heads at a predicted and modeled rate of 475 kg/day. The applicant proposes to monitor dissolved oxygen within the marina basin and channel on a monthly basis with weekly monitoring during June, July, August, and September (warmest four months of the year). A monitoring plan and proposed monitoring locations are included in Attachment F. Monitoring of DO would be performed to ensure DO concentrations are as predicted in the modeling and allow the marina operator to adjust the diffused aeration system to optimize DO levels in the marina. IX. ESSENTIAL FISH HABITAT/SAV ASSESSMENT An Essential Fish Habitat Assessment (EFH) was prepared for the project area (Attachment G). The EFH Analysis includes a report of findings for an SAV Survey that was conducted in July of 2018. NC DCM/DMF Staff concurred with the findings in the SAV Report (no habitat observed in 2018 and none reported during the collection of water quality data for flushing model 2019). An updated SAV survey was conducted on August 1st, 2022, within the proposed channel alignment. This updated SAV report is also included in Attachment G. X. STATE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICE CONSULTATION On June 4, 2018, a letter was mailed to Ms. Renee Gledhill -Earley with the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources (DCR) State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). The letter requested any information that SHPO had on file for the project. The SHPO office indicated in a letter dated July 6, 2018 (ER- 18-1315) that they are not aware of any historic resources which would be affected by the project as proposed. SHPO correspondence is provided as Attachment H. There have been no changes to the property or project scope since 2018. XI. PROPOSED MITIGATION Mitigation for the proposed project is focused on offsetting habitat loss by making a payment to an approved wetlands mitigation bank. DWR requested that an NC WAM Wetlands Assessment Form be completed to justify why the mitigation offered is appropriate for the project. An NC WAM Wetlands Assessment Form is attached in Attachment I. The project has an overall wetland rating of "Medium". Please note, during our many scoping meetings, the applicant was specifically directed to offer mitigation bank payments as proposed mitigation for project impacts. Proposed project impacts and mitigation include: Dredge of the channel through Phragmites dominated wetlands-1.509 acres) —the wetlands that are proposed to be impacted are not considered coastal wetlands. 2. Fill of Non -Riparian wetlands for upland development (0.48 acres) 12 Powells Point Harbor Resort Marina Development NC DCM CAMA Major Permit January 23, 2024 Proposed mitigation for the unavoidable impacts necessary to create an upland marina basin and resort community at this location is payment into the Great Dismal Swamp Restoration Bank (GDSRB) at a ratio of —2:1 (credits to impacts). This would result in a payment into a wetlands mitigation bank for 3 acres of riparian wetlands and approximately 0.96 acres of non - riparian wetlands credits. Wetlands credits availability letters are included as Attachment I XII.
