Hi Brian. Sorry to ask more questions. Can you provide me the SAW Action ID for the
permit authorizing the work at Mann Harbor Shipyard? And, I assume the Action ID for the
dredging at Southdock is SAW-2017-00407. Please confirm. Right now, I agree with
your plan to accomplish the Southdock dredging ASAP, and I don't anticipate a problem
with moratorium relief, but I need to review the files, and the SAW Action IDs will help me
track the files down. Thanks, Pace

Ah, understood.
For our projects in Division 1 Kyle Barnes is our Corps Regulatory rep and he prefers we
coordinate with the resource agencies directly prior to requesting authorization from them.
In other Divisions our Corps/DWR/CAMA reps do coordinate with the resource agencies
after we make the request. It's how it's always been during my time with NCDOT but
happy to have further conversations on consistency if you would like us to.

Sorry I was not clear earlier. USACE Regulatory normally coordinates with us on
requests for moratorium relief from permit holders.

Pace,
This dredging is just for within the Southdock basin which isn't part of the federal channel.
We (NC DOT Ferry) hold the permits for the majority of our ferry basins and entrance
channels and perform most of the work with our state-owned dredge.
Let me know if you would like me to send over any documentation on this or if you have any
additional questions or concerns.
Thank you,

Hi Brian. We normally get these requests from the USACE since it is their permit
authorizing work. Have you asked the USACE for relief from the moratorium? Pace

Good morning Fritz and Pace,
The NC DOT Ferry Division is requesting moratorium relief from April 8 to July 31,
2024 to perform maintenance and repair on pile clusters at the Manns Harbor
Shipyard and complete maintenance dredging in the Southdock ferry basin.
Moratorium relief was previously granted for the maintenance and repair of the
Shipyard piles through the end of April 2024. Work on the piles is still planned for
this month, but repairs to the NC DOT Dredge Manteo are expected to be completed
within the next week and the shoaling in the basin at Southdock has become critical.
The entrance to the basin is severely pinched and removing the material is necessary
to provide safe and reliable travel from Hatteras to Ocracoke. Therefore, as soon as
the dredge is ready, the NC DOT Marine Maintenance Unit plans to stop work at the
Shipyard and tow the dredge to Southdock to address the shoaling. Once that work is
completed there, they would return to the Shipyard and complete the piling work.
While neither project would take more than a month to complete under perfect
conditions the dates provided in this request would allow for the flexibility needed to
account for weather, mechanical issues, changes in project schedules, and any other
unforeseen circumstances.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Brian Doliber
