All,

In the previous request for the Hatteras basin dredging for the upcoming Passenger
Ferry, it was stated that only tie up slip area was in need of being dredge. The amount of
material to be removed from this area is approximately 3,051 cubic yards. Since the
authorization from USACE for this project it has come to the Divisions attention that
another area, within the same basin, is in need of dredging to allow for vessels to be
able to move freely in and out of.

Due to the change in the scope of the project, an amendment to the current project
authorization is being requested. There will now be two dredge project areas inside the
Hatteras basin at the Hatteras ferry terminal. The new area (or area #2) is further down
the bulkhead and has approximately 2,107 cubic yards of material to be removed to
reach the permitted 12’ depth. Current depths in this slip range from 3’ to 4.3’. A survey
taken on August 1, 2017 depicts the new area and provides the cross section view.

Described in the previous and now most current PCN, all dredge work will be contracted
out and will not be done with the NCDOT pipeline dredge. Equipment that we expect to
be used for this project is a long reach excavator from shore and/or a barge with a
bucket type dredge to remove all material. Removed material will then be hauled off
site and taken to an approved location. A pre-construction meeting will take place
before this project contract is put out for bidding.

The total amount of material being removed from the basin is approximately 5,158
cubic yards.

Attached to this email are surveys for both project locations and an updated PCN.

If you have any questions or need additional information please let me know.

Thank you,
