Final
North Carolina Artificial Reef Program
Sites
The North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (NC DMF) Artificial Reef Program has
been formally operating since the 1970's, and has a total of 68 permitted artificial reefs and
oyster sanctuaries within the state of North Carolina. Twenty-five (25) of these sites are in the
states estuaries, while 43 are in ocean waters. In 2016, the NC DMF released an artificial reef
guide which outlines each of the artificial reefs and oyster sanctuaries. The artificial reef guide
provides material information, latitude longitude information, and a figure of the material on
each of the reef sites. A pdf version of the hardcopy reef guide can be found at:
http://portal.ncdenr.ore/c/document library/get file?uuid=24160156-4b96-49e6-9126-
4fa488b49cbb&grou12Id=38337. The NC DMF Artificial Reef Program has also developed an
interactive reef guide, set up in an ArcGIS format is available here:
https://ncdenr.maps.arcgis.com/apps/weba l2viewer/index.html?id=3b27e8594cb6444c88b5525b
f763aa55. The interactive guide is complete with material shapefiles, latitude/longitude
information, side -scan sonar imagery, and much more. This is available for review by the public,
state, and federal agencies.
Materials
For reef construction, NCDMF intends to use only biologically suitable materials that are
approved for reef building. Accordingly, NCDMF adheres to program documentation which
details specifications for acceptable reef construction materials, based on federal and state
guidance (references available upon request). It should be specially noted that all materials
placed at the state's artificial reef sites are free of hydrocarbons, contaminants, and toxins, as
required by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE), the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), the United States Coast Guard (USCG), and other agencies involved in
permitting of artificial reefs. All trash, wood, lines, and floating debris must also be removed. It
should be noted that lead based paint is not likely a problem as the bridge was blast cleaned in
the 1980's and 2011. It should also be noted that materials are visually inspected by NCDMF
and/or the contractors, to ensure there is no oil, hydrocarbons, or contaminants. If materials are
found to be contaminated, the material would be disposed of properly and not put on our
artificial reefs. Finally, it should be noted that rebar will be limited to 3" in length on all bridge
materials, but will be cut flush when feasible.

Project Background
Stakeholders
Presently, the North Carolina Division of Transportation (NCDOT) is engaged in a
contract with PCL construction to replace the NC -12 bridge across Oregon Inlet (Bonner
Bridge). The demolition and disposal portion of this contract will be completed in coordination
with the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF) Artificial Reef Program.
Demolished bridge material will be transported to four (4) (AR -130, AR 140, AR -140, AR -160)
existing ocean reef sites to create artificial reef habitat (Figure 1). In this project, DMF's role will
be to ensure the sites 1) are appropriately permitted, 2) materials meet acceptable use guidelines,
and 3) operations comply with established permit conditions. PCL construction will conduct all
phases of demolition and deployment on site, with support provided by division staff for material
placement.
General Information
AR -160 is located within the three -nautical mile boundary line, whereas AR -130, AR -
140, and AR -145 are in federal waters. This CAMA permit application will only address those
planned enhancements at AR -160.
Site AR -160
AR -160 is located at 35 43.888' N 75 26.771'W, or 5.7 nm southeast of the Oregon Inlet
sea buoy. The site is defined by a 1500 ft. radius circular boundary, encompassing a total area of
162.27 acres in total. These reef boundaries have been reviewed and approved by NCDCM
(Attachment 1). Site depth is 66 ft. and has a charted minimum vertical clearance of 30 feet. In
consideration of site depth and required clearance, this site allows for a construction profile of up
to 36 ft. (Figure 2). Based on interpretation of side -scan data, the bottom habitat consists of sand
and muddy sand. Surveys revealed no existing shell resource or natural hardbottom within the
proposed boundary. To date, approximately 1.43 acres has been developed with the most recent
construction occurring in 2002. Existing materials already on AR -160 include two 440 ft. liberty
ships, 271 tons of concrete pipe, 215 concrete pilings, and 69 reef balls (Figure 3).
Proposed Enhancements
Materials
In communication with NCDOT and PCL, we estimate to total project tonnage to be up
to 100,000 tons of dismantled bridge pieces. These pieces will include bridge spans, bridge piles,
bents, double t -girders. Concrete bridge pieces are consistent with state guidelines for acceptable
artificial reef materials (Attachment 2).
As the NCDOT-PCL contract prescribes, AR -160 will receive approximately 55%
(44,000 — 55,000 tons) of the total tonnage. However, given project logistics and relatively
unpredictable weather and inlet conditions in this area, AR -160 may receive up to the full
complement of 100,000 tons. We propose to permit this site for up to 100,000 tons of the bridge
material.
Spatial Design of Reef
As standard practice the reef program, we maintain a 150 ft. buffer of no construction on
the inside perimeter of the reef boundary. The remaining area of the reef is gridded into 150 ft. x
150 ft. grids for spatial reference and planning purposes (Figure 4).

Narrative_BonnerBridgeCAMA.pdf 2 8/15/2017 10:46:50AM
In order to distribute the materials in a logical and simple manner, we propose to
designate three large block zones within the boundaries of the AR -160 reef site (Figures 4, 5, and
6). In figure 4, these areas are highlighted in orange and labeled as 1, 2, and 3. Zone 1 is 15.5
acres, zone 2 is 24.75 acres, and zone 3 is 15.5 acres of enhancement space. Plans will be to
distribute the materials in these areas, starting in zone 1, and not to exceed 36 ft. of vertical
profile (Figure 5 and 6). For the purposes of this permit, it should be assumed that a total of
55.75 acres will be impacted as a result of this project.
Reef Construction/ Material Deployments
Total number of deployment days on site will be determined by the capability of the
deployment contractor (PCL). However, we do not anticipate the demolition portion of their
contract to extend beyond ten months once demolition commences. Demolition is slated to begin
as early as June 2018, but could start as late as November 2018. Construction of the artificial reef
can be expected anytime between June 2018 and September 2019.
PCL Construction will be conducting all deployments as defined in contract with
NCDOT, however NCDMF personal will be on-site for all deployments to make sure permit and
vertical clearance compliance is maintained. To guide deployments, program staff will mark
daily deployment locations with visible references above the waterline, using recreational grade
GPS. NCDMF staff will ensure reef construction operations and methodology are consistent
with historically successful practices.
Reef Monitoring
During construction, NCDMF staff will serve as observer(s) to ensure proper permit and
building compliance. Deployed materials will be surveyed with calibrated onboard sonar to
verify compliance with vertical clearance requirements.
When time allows, staff will survey the sites with bathymetric mapping equipment, as an
update to the Artificial Reef program's artificial reef guide and habitat records. Staff will also
perform SCUBA surveys on reef sites to observe material condition, as time allows. The
Artificial Reef program also employs an online survey for recreational users to provide feedback
on Artificial Reefs through its website, including AR -160. Further, artificial reefs are included in
MRIP survey questionnaires, which can offer valuable biological information.
Protected Resource Avoidance
NCDMF staff will perform all avoidance measures as proposed to USACE (July 11,
2017; Attachment 3). During the scoping meeting for this project, no concerns were raised about
the construction timeline and potential impacts to protected resources at AR -160.
Reef Marking
AR -160 is an existing reef site and is clearly marked on NOAA charts. NCDMF will not
maintain any physical marking on station.

This letter is in response to the NC Division of Marinc Fisheries Artificial Recf Program's
request to modify and document the expansion of numerous artificial rcefand oyster sancluary sites
throughout the estuarine and coastal waters of North Carolina. 'flu reef site boundaries specified within
this letter are existing or permitted and have been accurately documented. These boundaries will be kept
on file with each related CAMA permit, and on file in with the NC Division of Coastal Management in
the 2017 major permit archives under 2017 NC DMF AR BOUNDARY MODIFICATION. If at any
time your agency wishes to access these records, apply for a permit or permit modification, or modify a
boundary, this letter shall be referenced, along with the appropriate reef site information. This
endorsement does not convey an active permit or authorization 10 conduct development within the newly
acknowledged reef site boundaries. Any future development may require modification of an active
permit or the need to proceed through the NC Division of Coastal Management's CAMA major
permitting process. Please contact a representative of the Division prior to the commencement of any
activity for this determination.

North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries
and nd Specifications for Acceptable Artificial Reef Materials
- - (3,1 Edition. 20171
Artificial reef materials are selected on four primary considerations: Function,
compatibility, durability, and stability. Materials used must meet their intended function,
by supporting diverse and abundant biological communities. Selected materials must also
be compatible with the aquatic environment in which they are placed. This means they
must not pose environmental risks. Also, unstable materials, or those prone to movement,
and non -durable, or easily degraded, materials must be precluded from use.
The North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries Artificial Reef Program has
produced a comprehensive list of accepted materials for use in partner projects. These
materials were chosen based on the above criteria, using guidance from internal program
studies, The ASMFC/GSMFC Guidelines for Marine Artificial Reef Materials (Second Ed.,
2004), The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) National Guidance: Best Management
Practices (BMPs) for Preparing Vessels Intended to Create Artificial Reefs, and the
NOAA/NMFS National Artificial Reef Plan.
Concrete.
Any hard, strong building material made by mixing a cementing material (commonly
Portland cement) and a mineral aggregate with sufficient water to cause material to set and
bind. Types include (but are not limited to) oval and round pipe, box culverts, risers, catch -
basins, knock -out boxes, bridge rubble and bridge spans, manholes, slabs, pilings, crushed
concrete, and pre -designed structures such as Reef Balls or other units. All concrete must
be fully cured to ensure environmental compatibility.
Required Specifications:
Ocean-
• Unacceptable types in the ocean slabs, small pilings, crushed concrete, small
designed structures
• Size - concrete pipe must be no less than 4 feet in length and no less than 36
Inches in inside diameter, unless such smaller pieces are "nested" inside
large diameter pieces
• Composition - units must be no more than 25% degraded or missing. All
concrete must be fully cured before deployment
• Design - pre -designed structures must meet approval of Artificial Reef Staff
for function, compatibility, durability, and stability

maximum diameter, 6" average diameter, 4" minimum diameter, 10%
maximum oversize, 5% maximum undersize. In some instances of shallow
water development, 2-4" diameter crushed concrete is acceptable.
• Composition - units must be no more than 25% degraded or missing. All
concrete must be fully cured befiire deployment
• Design - pre -designed structures must meet approval of Artificial Reef Staff
for function, compatibility, durability, and stability
Vessels:
Vessels are a commonly used artificial reef material. These may be composed of
ferro-cement or steel, though steel vessels are most common and preferred. Thorough
preparation and cleaning is required before these materials may be used as reefs (EPA
BM Ps).
Required Specifications:
Ocean -
• Size - vessels must be no smaller than 100 feet in length unless paired with a
second 100 foot or greater vessel
• Clearance - vessels are subject to clearance requirements and in many cases,
must be shortened in height to comply with permits. This may involve
expensive removal of vessel superstructure
• Cleaning and preparation - vessels are subject to US Coast Guard and/or
FPA inspection to satisfy BMP%, including removals of wood, floatables, loose
materials, and deleterious substances.
• Stability - all air must be allowed to escape during sinking
• Durability - vessel selection is ultimately at the discretion of the Artificial
Reef Coordinator, to satisfy expectations of durability
Estuary -
• Vessels are not accepted in estuarine waters
Natural Materials:
Natural materials have been used by most coastal states to replenish various types
of habitat with a particular focus on shell bottom. Natural materials include different
approved mineral rucks such as calcium carbonate shells, limestone marl, granite, and
basalt.
Required Specifications:
Ocean -
• Natural materials are not widely used in the ocean, given their size and
susceptibility to sediment burial
Estuary -
• Sire -
u limestone Marl (NCDOT Class B Spec.): 12" maximum diameter, ti"
average diameter, S" minimum diameter, 10% maximum oversize,
5% maximum undersize. In sonic instances of shallow water
development, NCDOT Spec #4 limestone marl is acceptable.

Attachment 3. Proposed Special Conditions for Protected Resources (July 11, 2017)
North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality
Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMFI
Proposed Special Permit Conditions
USACE General Permits 194 and 291
1. Any deployment of reef materials during North Atlantic right whale calving season (November
15 through April 15 of any year) must comply with:
a. Maximum speed for all vessels involved in placing the reef material is 10 knots.
b. Deployments must be conducted during daylight hours when lighting, weather, and sea
conditions allow for visual monitoring of the project area.
c. Deployment activities will not commence until NCDMF staff reports that no marine
mammals or sea turtles have been sighted for at least 60 minutes.
d. Deployment activities will cease immediately if sea turtles or marine mammals are
sighted within the protected area and will not recommence until the NCOMF staff
reports that no mammals or sea turtles have been sighted for at least 60 minutes.
2. if a listed species is seen within 100 yards of the active daily construction operation or vessel
movement, all appropriate precautions shall be implemented to ensure its protection. These
precautions shall include cessation of operation of any moving equipment closer than 50 feet of
a listed species. Operation of any nwchanical construction equipment shall cease immediately if
a listed species is seen within a 50 -ft radius of the equipment. Activities may not resume until
the protected species has departed the project area of its own volition.
3. Reef structures shall be sited and installed according to the historically permitted site
clearances, listed in Table 1, relative to MLW.
4. Reef structures shall not be placed on natural hard -bottom habitat.
S. Materials should be of sufficient size and relative density to not move from the reef site post -
deployment and be clean and free from asphalt, creosote, petroleum, other hydrocarbons and
toxic residues, loose free floating material or other deleterious substances.
6. The use of explosives to deploy materials is not authorized.
7. Reef materials shall be selected to ensure that ESA -fisted species do not become entrapped in
reef structures, or entangled in debris (e.g., abandoned fishing tackle, nets, and fines) that may
accumulate on artificial reefs:
a. Materials used for artificial reef building shall conform to the recommendations in the
National Ardikial Reef Plan (as Amended): Guidelines for Marine Artificial Reef
Materials, Second Edition (Atlantic and Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commissions 2004).
Except that derelict automobiles shall not be used and derelict vessels and military
surplus shall have openings on all exposed sides adequate to prevent entrapment of
ESA -listed species. Openings will be sufficient of sufficient size and quantity to allow for

several points of egress for sea turtle species that may enter the structure. Any open -
bottomed structure must have an opening in the top that is equal to the bottom
opening or 3 -ft in diameter (whichever is lesser) to allow listed species to escape.
b. Military surplus and vessel structures such as ladders, rails, booms, antennas, etc. will
be removed to reduce the potential accumulation of abandoned fishing tackle and lines.
Clean steel, concrete bridge or large building demolition materials such as slabs or
pilings may be used provided that all steel reinforcement rods are cut at the base of the
concrete so no rebar or metal is protruding.
Underwater reef cleanup will be performed by NCDMF divers during annual reef site
monitoring events. Cleaning reefs In low visibility/high current dive conditions may present
diver safety issues with the potential of divers being entangled or snagged. Staff will make
every reasonable attempt to clean reef materials of debris during regularly scheduled
assessments, without compromising the safety of the crew and divers. The applicant will send
confirmation of cleanup to NMFS's Southeast Regional Office (takereport.nmfsser@noaa.gov),
including dates of cleanup efforts and results of the clean-up.
In order to further protect the endangered West Indian Manatee, Trichechus manatus, the
applicant must implement the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Manatee Guidelines, and strictly
adhere to all requirements therein. The guidelines can be found at http://www.fws.gov/nc-

Previously, the reef site was enhanced by the deposition of two hulls from the liberty ships,
"Dionysus", "Zane Gray', and a wooden trawler "Irving H" as well as concrete pipes, pilings,
and reef balls. The reef maintains a navigable water depth of 30 ft. below MLW and is a
known diving site.
Development Proposal
The applicant proposes to add demolition material from the Bonner Bridge removal project,
to AR -160. The applicant indicates that up to 100,000 tons of demolition material will be
deposited within the designated reef area and that up to 55.75 acres will be impacted by
this project. A 30 ft. water depth will be maintained.
Anticipated Impacts
The project will result in approximately 55.75 acres of Public Trust Area and Estuarine
Waters Areas of Environmental concerns disturbed by bridge debris deposition. Temporary
Water Turbidly will occur during construction.

(tv) Purpose of fill
The goal of North Carolina's artificial reef program is to
develop, maintain, evaluate and administer a successful
system of artificial reefs for the purposes of enhancing
marine fisheries habitat and public fishing and diving
opportunities.
5. GENERAL
a. How will excavated or fill material be kept on site and erosion
controlled?
Concrete weights approximately 2.5 times water, therefore material
will resist movement after deployment. These materials are
common to artificial reef construction, have proved to be
durable and stable, and have been used in NC artificial reef
enhancements within ocean waters
