9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The two existing spoil islands are located in the southern portion of the Cape Fear River between Snow's Cut and Zeke's
Island, in Brunswick County (South Pelican Island) and New Hanover County (Ferry Slip Island). State Permit # 126.91 was
issued to the NC Wildlife Resources Commission in September 1991, for the renourishment on these two particular islands as
part of an experimental habitat enhancement project to measure the nesting success of colonial water birds. State Permit
# 41-03 was issued in April 2003, reauthorizing the renourishment of the two islands to maintain suitable nesting habitat.
Certain species of waterbirds, such as, Royal and Sandwich Terns require early succession habitat for nesting. Early
succession habitat consists of bare sand with limited shell and / or sparse vegetation. In order to maintain suitable nesting
habitat periodic renourishment of the islands with dredged sand is required. Audubon of North Carolina has been monitoring
and managing these islands since 1991, and has conducted a statewide census every three years for all nesting colonial
waterbirds in North Carolina. According to the application, in 2014 Ferry Slip and Pelican Islands supported approximately
35% of the Sandwich Tern nesting populations statewide as well as approximately 22% of the Royal Terns, 12 % of the Gull -
billed terns, and 11 % of the Brown Pelicans.
Currently, Ferry Slip Island is approximately 5.6 acres in size and has an approximateexisting grade of 16'above Mean Low
Water (MLW) at its tallest point. Vegetation consists mainly of low grasses and shrubs with other areas grown up with Marsh -
elder (Iva trufescens). There is no marsh or coastal wetlands vegetation present on the island. South Pelican Island, the
larger of the two islands, is roughly 7 acres and has an existing grade of approximately 18' above MLW at its tallest point.
Vegetation within the proposed sand disposal area consists of various grasses and herbaceous plants. The highground
transitions to a lower high marsh area occupied by Common Reed (Phragmites australis) and Salt Meadow Hay (Spartina
patens). The even lower coastal wetland areas are dominated primarily by Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina alternitlora) and
contains a tidally influenced pond at the center of the island.
In the project area, the adjacent waters are classified SA, by the NC Division of Water Resources, and they are OPEN to the
harvest of shellfish in the area around South Pelican Island and CLOSED in the area around Ferry Slip Island. These adjacent
waters are not designated as Primary Nursery Area (PNA), by the NC Division of Marine Fisheries.
PROPOSED PROJECT:
The applicant proposes to deposit approximately 86,00 cubic yards of dredge spoils on two (2) existing islands (Ferry Slip and
South Pelican Island) in the Cape Fear River to maintain and restore the nesting habitat for colonial water birds. The existing
islands would be enlarged, not to exceed an area of approximately seven (7) acres per Island and a maximum elevation of
approximately 22' above MLW. The proposed renourishment project would involve reclaiming approximately 1.4 acres of
sand that is currently below Mean High Water (MHW) and located within the Horseshoe Shoals Area. The method of sand
deposition is termed "controlled effluent" or toe of the bank disposal. The applicant would utilize hydraulic dredging to pump
the material onto the islands and then use small bulldozers to construct berms to control the flow from the effluent pipe and
efficiently disperse the deposited material throughout the perimeter of the islands.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
As Proposed, the applicant is requesting the utilization of approximately 86,000 cubic yards of sandy material from the
Wilmington Harbor Dredge Project, particularly from the Horseshoe Shoals component of the project. The proposed
renourishment project would expand the dimensions of each Island to their originally permitted 7 acres and would involve
reclaiming approximately 1.4 acres that is currently below Mean High Water (MHW). Temporary increases in turbidity should
be expected during construction. The coastal wetland boundary would be silt fenced prior to the start of construction.
All dredge material on South Pelican Island would be diverted away from the coastal wetlands located on the southwest
portion of the island by using the constructed berms. Any remaining active nests from the previous season would have
provisions made for them outside of the construction area.

Project :Narrative: Colonial Waterbird Islands- -.-
Part of application to renew permits for the disposal of dredged sand on South Pelican and Ferry Slip
Islands
22 June 2016
Introduction
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission in partnership with the National Audubon Society's
North Carolina State Office (Audubon NC) are requesting the renewal of NC Division of Coastal
Management permits to place dredged sand on Ferry Slip and South Pelican Islands in the Lower Cape
Fear River for the purpose of restoring habitat for nesting Brown Pelicans, Royal Terns, Sandwich Terns,
Gull -billed Terns, and American Oystercatchers. The disposal of sand on South Pelican and Ferry Slip
Islands would take place as part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers maintenance of the adjacent Cape
Fear River navigational channel.
Sand from the Cape Fear River navigational channel will be placed on the islands using the control of
effluent method and following best practices to reduce runoff and direct the effluent to the desired
locations and away from emergent marsh (marsh is on South Pelican Island only). The sand will then be
graded to the appropriate contours (Golder et al. 2008). This method has been used successfully on
previous habitat restoration projects on these islands.
Lower Cape Fear River Islands
Colonial waterbirds have nested on islands in the Cape Fear River between Wilmington and Southport
since at least the 1930s when a heron colony on Battery Island was first reported (Pearson et al. 1942).
Ground -nesting terns and gulls were first reported nesting on dredged -material islands in 1970 when
Soots and Parnell (1975) first began regular surveys of these birds along the North Carolina coast. Royal
Terns, Sandwich Terns, and Laughing Gulls have nested on islands in the Cape Fear each year since 1970.
Brown Pelicans first nested on islands in the Cape Fear River in 1980 and have nested there each year
since (Parnell and Shields 1990; North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission 2016).
Nesting by pelicans and terns has been confined primarily to three islands, Ferry Slip Island, South
Pelican Island, and North Pelican Island. Two of these islands, Ferry Slip and South Pelican, have
periodically received deposits of dredged sand provided by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as part of
dredging operations that maintain the Cape Fear River channel (Figure 1). This dredged sand has been
and is currently essential to sustaining habitat required by these species and others. The third island,
North Pelican, consists of marsh and shrub thickets and has not received dredged material.
In the past five years, no federally listed species have been detected on the islands during the course of
regular monitoring. Audubon staff visit both islands two to four days per week from March -August and
bi-weekly or weekly during September -February. No SAV has been detected in the shallow water
surrounding the islands.

Royal Terns, Sandwich Terns, and Gull -billed Terns require bare sand and/or shell hash, or sand and/or
shell hash with sparse, scattered herbaceous vegetation for nesting. Ferry Slip Island and South Pelican
Island have been the only islands with such habitat in southern North Carolina and provide the only
suitable nesting sites for these species between Cape Lookout, NC and Cape Romain, SC. About every
three years, a census is conducted of all nesting colonial waterbirds in North Carolina. The three most
recent censuses were completed in 2007, 2011, and 2014, and together Ferry Slip and South Pelican
Islands supported significant proportions of the state's population of terns and pelican (Table 1);

American Oystercatchers are also censused every three years in North Carolina. The most recent
completed census years are 2007, 2010, and 2013. In 2007 Ferry Slip and South Pelican Islands
supported 7% of the state's population of nesting American Oystercatchers, in 2010 they supported 6%,
and in 2013 they supported 9% (North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, unpublished data).
In order to maintain suitable habitat for terns, islands such as Ferry Slip and South Pelican should receive
sand every five years (Parnell and Shields 1990). Ferry Slip Island and South Pelican Island have not
received dredged sand since 2004 and as a result both islands are now overgrown with herbaceous
vegetation and they have eroded (Figures 2 and 3). Habitat for terns, pelicans and oystercatchers has
declined significantly. Without new deposits of dredged sand, these islands will eventually cease to
support nesting terns, pelicans, and American Oystercatchers.

Proposed Deposition of Sand on Ferry Slip and South Pelican
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers conducted hydrographic and topographic surveys of South Pelican
Island on March 30 and 31, 2016 and of Ferry Slip Island on March 30 and April 4, 2016. From these
surveys, it developed site maps and plans for depositing material dredged from the navigational channel
onto the islands. It consulted with Audubon NC regarding the beneficial use of this material. These plans
are attached as part of the project narrative and application package. A pipeline dredge will pump high-
quality sand onto each island and bulldozers will shape the sand to the desired height, contour, and
slope. Prior to pumping, bulldozers will construct a berm from existing sand on the islands to contain
and direct the sand -water slurry; this method is commonly referred to as control of effluent. In addition
to a berm, silt fencing will also be used to protect the marsh on South Pelican Island. Following the
pumping event, all equipment will be removed from the islands.
Previous Permit and Proiects
In September 1991, North Carolina Division of Coastal Management issued permit #126-91 for the
maintenance and periodic renourishment of Ferry Slip and South Pelican Islands. In April 2003, that
permit was renewed as permit #45-03 for the maintenance and periodic renourishment of Ferry Slip and
South Pelican Islands. Permit #45-03 expired on December 31, 2007. The only change proposed in this
current permit application is a change in the previous permitted height of the islands from 18 feet above
mean high water to 24 feet above mean low water. This is intended to provide maximum sand capacity
while maintaining a slope that is suitable for nesting birds (Golder et at. 2008)
DOM VIIA.J.4INGTON, NC

We includeasappendices the permits and certifications for. permit # 45-03, issued in April 2003, for
reference and the original Environmental Assessment and 401(b) (1) evaluation done by the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers for the first such project which was carried out in the 1980s (Appendices 1-5).
Conclusion
Ferry Slip Island and South Pelican Island are essential to sustaining North Carolina's waterbird and
shorebird populations. Periodic deposits of sand on the islands and using the control of effluent method
provides a beneficial use of the dredged sand and will sustain habitats that are critically important to
maintaining healthy populations of coastal birds. Renewal of the permit will ensure that adequate
nesting habitat will be available for many years into the future.

Sand from the Cape Fear River navigational channel will be dredged by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to maintain the
navigable shipping channel of the Cape Fear River. The dredged sand is proposed to be placed on adjacent dredged -
materials islands, as has been done several times since the early 1980s. Replenishment of sand on Ferry Slip and South
Pelican Islands, both of which were constructed of dredged sand, will restore nesting habitat for colonial waterbirds and
shorebirds. Sand will be placed on the islands using the control of effluent method to reduce runoff and direct the effluent
away from emergent marsh (South Pelican Island only). The sand will then be graded to the appropriate contours. This
method has been used successfully on previous habitat restoration projects on these islands.
c. Describe the proposed construction methodology, types of construction equipment to be used during construction, the number of each type
