NCSPA- Horseshoe Shoal Emergency Maintenance Excavation

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The N.C. State Ports Authority (NCSPA) is located at 1 Shipyard Blvd., adjacent to the Cape Fear River, in
Wilmington, New Hanover County. The project site is located approximately 17 nautical miles downstream
of the NCSPA within the Horseshoe Shoals Segment of the Cape Fear River Shipping Channel, which is
northeast of the Town of Southport and the Duke Progress Energy Nuclear Power Plant in Brunswick
County. The project location is just east of two spoil islands, which are designated as DA -0003 to the south
and DA -0004 the north. DA -0003 is owned by the State of North Carolina and DA -0004 is currently owned
by Duke Progress Energy. The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) currently maintains this section of
the shipping channel to a final project depth of -44' @ mean lower low water (MLLW) (See Hydrographic
Surveys and Project Narrative).
The waters of the Cape Fear River (in the vicinity of the project) are classified SC, by the N.C. Division of
Water Resources. The area is NOT designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA), by the N.C. Division of
Marine Fisheries and these waters are CLOSED to the harvesting of shellfish.
PROPOSED PROJECT
The N.C. State Ports Authority proposes to allow emergency agitation dredging to maintain an existing
shipping channel within the Horseshoe Shoals Section in the Cape Fear River. Based on a recent
hydrographic survey, the application states that the existing depth within the Horseshoe Shoal Section of the
shipping channel ranges from approximately -39' to -40' @MLLW. The application states that this area has
not been dredged by the USACE in approximately 5 years and the Cape Fear River Pilots have indicated
that due to shoaling in this area, a draft restriction of -37' for the Cape Fear River is imminent. The
application states that in anticipation of the new locks at the Panama Canal, the NCSPA anticipates larger
vessels would soon call on their ports.
The applicant proposes to excavate "bed leveling" an area of approximately 3,800' in length by 300' in width
to a final project depth of -44'@ MLLW, which would result in the removal of approximately 100,000 cubic
yards (CY) of river bottom material within the federal limits of the Horseshoe Shoals Section of the Cape
Fear River. The application states that bed leveling would be performed using a beam to knock off the tops
of the finger shoals that have developed in Horseshoe Shoals. The beam would be attached to a cable and
wench system mounted on a barge being pushed by a tugboat until the final project depth of -42' + -2' @
MLLW is obtained. The application states the material in Horseshoe Shoals area is sandy and they do not
expect very much migration of disturbed material from this area of the river. Further, the application states
they anticipate that the material that is disturbed by this proposed process would be moved/disposed of in
the adjacent deeper areas with the Horseshoe Shoals Section of the river and remain in the shipping
channel. The application states that the proposed excavation would be done on a falling (ebb) tide and a
survey would be conducted by a third party (See Hydrographic Surveys and Project Narratives).
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The proposed maintenance excavation would disturb approximately 1,140,000 sq. ft. of river bottom area
and would result in the removal of approximately 100,000 CY of material, which would be re -suspended
back into the river system. Based on information on this type of agitation dredging in use in other facilities
within this segment of the river, it is anticipated that there would not be adverse impacts associated with the
operation of this system. The potential for short term sediment suspension impacts is certainly much more
acceptable than the possibility of product loss due to vessel damage resulting from grounding.

Re: North Carolina State Ports Authority
Port of Wilmington
Dredging of Cape Fear River — Horseshoe Shoal
Emergency Permit Request
Dear Mr Huggett:
The North Carolina State Ports Authority (NCSPA) is requesting an emergency CAMA
permit to perform bed leveling in the Horseshoe Shoal segment of the Cape Fear River.
The bed leveling will be performed by using a beam to knock off the tops of the finger
shoals that have developed in Horseshoe Shoals. The beam will be attached to a cable
and wench system as to perform the work to the precise depths in the area. Surveys of
the area will be performed upon completion of the work.
The Horseshoe Shoal segment of the Cape Fear River has not been dredged by the US
Army Corps of Engineers in approximately 5 years. The authorized project depth in this
area of the river with over depth is 42'+2', but recent surveys in this area show many
areas are currently at 39'-40'. The Cape Fear River Pilots have indicated that due to the
shoaling in this area, a draft restriction of 37' for the Cape Fear River is imminent. This
depth would prohibit the larger vessels to transit the Cape Fear River to the Port of
Wilmington.
The international shipping business is changing rapidly with companies migrating to
larger vessels in response to the June opening of the Panama Canal. The NCSPA is
expecting the arrival of the larger vessels starting on July 1 for one container service, and
August for another. It is very important for this area to maintain the authorized project
depth in order for vessels to arrive and depart in a safe manner. If the vessels are unable
to arrive and depart in a safe manner, the NCSPA is at risk to lose vital business
opportunities which not only affects the NCSPA, but is also detrimental to the State as a
whole due to the revenues generated from these customers who could potentially blosi ;

Because of the noted conditions and circumstances above in the Cape Fear River, the

Proiect Narrative
The North Carolina State Ports Authority is requesting a permit to perform bed leveling in the Horseshoe
Shoal segment of the Cape Fear River. The bed leveling will be performed by using a beam to knock off
the tops of the finger shoals that. have developed in Horseshoe Shoals. These shoals have a peak of 38-
40' throughout the area, with deep valleys in between that have depths in the 42'-46' range. The beam
will be attached to a cable and wench system mounted on a barge being pushed by a tugboat as obtain
results that will have precise 42' depths in the area upon completion of the work.
The beam is approximately 30' long. It will be tied by 4 separate cables and suspended from the barge
via a pulley and winch system. Because the areas that need to be leveled are fairly narrow, the beam
will be suspended to depths that will just push the material off of the tops of these peaks. The material
in the Horseshoe shoals area is sandy so we do not expect very much migration of disturbed material
from this area in the river. We anticipate that the material that is disturbed by the bed leveling process
will be moved/ disposed of in;fie adjacent deeper areas within the Horseshoe Shoals section of the river
and remain in the shipping channel. Calculations from recent surveys estimate that there is 100,000CY
of material in the area to be leveled.
The bed leveling will be done on the falling tide. We anticipate that the work will take approximately 7
days to complete. Throughout the bed leveling effort, the tugboat operator will be monitoring the
depth in the area he is working. If, after several passes; beneficial results are not observed, the bed
leveling work will discontinue. If after several passes the results show that the bed leveling is
successful, we anticipate 7-10 days of work to complete the entire process. After the work is complete,
the area will be surveyed by a third party.
