While this project is below the thresholds which require written approval for issuance of a
Section 401 Water Quality Certification, the DWR has concerns that this project may pose a
potential future risk to the Northeast Interceptor sewer line which traverses through the, proj ect
area. The DWR received via email on July 28, 2017, a report prepared by Highfill Infrastructure
Engineering (Northeast Interceptor Segment 1 Intracoastal Waterway Crossing Preliminary
Assessment) for the Town of Wrightsville Beach. After reviewing the information within the
report, it is evident that a portion of the NEI abutting the proj ect area is partially exposed and
that one of the pilings of the existing access pier is installed within 3 inches of the NEI. The
information provided by the applicant within the C -AMA Major Permit application indicates that
the "Pipe Depth Below Mud Line" is 4.0 feet in the exact same location where the pipe is
reported to be partially exposed. Based upon this report and the other information within our
files, the DWR has concerns about the risk of potential damage to the NEI from the construction
of and future use of the proposed marina. The DWR supports implementation of the
recommendations submitted to the DCM by the Wildlife Resources Commission of July 7, 2017
(attached). In addition, the DWR must be immediately notified in the event of any damage or
loss of function to the NEI before, during, or after completion of this project.

Biologists with t1ie North Carolina Wildlife Resources Comm fission (NCWRQ reviewed the permit

Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et sett.).
The applicant proposes to expand an existing docking facility and construct an observation platform
adjacent to Motts Creek and the AIWW. The facility expansion would accommodate 10 vessels ranging
in length: from 8' to 6 6". Within the project area is the Northeast Interceptor (NEI), a sewer .force main for
the Town of Wrightsville Beach. This utility line. is located 2' — 4.2' below the substrate of the project
area. Water depths within the location of the NEI and docking facility range from -8' to -9' NLW. No
dredging is proposed at tl-ds time. Pile installation will occur no closer than 19' from the NEI.
Construction would not occur until a field survey and marking is complete. All structures within the
project proposal are less than 1/4 width of the creek and outside the US Army Corps of Engineers federal
channel setback. Separate from the docking facility is a 6' by 79' access pier with 9' by 20' platforna
Located within Motts Creek. The project area is immediately northwest the US 74 (Wrightsville Ave)
draw bridge and across the AIWW from a NC Wildlife Resources Comnission public boating access
area. Motts Creek and the APA/W at this location are classified SB by the Environmental Management
