Dear Mr. Cahoon:

t
Reference your application for a Department of the Army permit

Failure to comply with the State authorization or conditions of
the general permit could result in a violation of Federal law.
If any change in your work is required because of unforeseen
or altered conditions or for any other reason, plans revised to
show the change must be sent promptly to this office and the North
Carolina Division of Coastal Management prior to performing any
such change or alteration. Such action is necessary as revised

DARE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS (BUXTON HARBOR)
BIO REPORT
PAGE 2
PROJECT SITE:
Buxton Harbor is a small county maintained harbor which is home port to a number
of commercial fishermen and a boat repair facility. The basin has water depths of
at least six feet, however, the access channel has shoaled at the mouth of the harbor.
As can be seen in the aerial photos, the access channel terminates a short distance
offshore in shallow water.
The applicants propose to dredge by hydraulic dredge the access channel 2,500
feet into the S.A. waters of Pamlico Sound. This distance will assure that the
channel extend into water -6 feet deep. The bottom width is proposed at fifty feet.
The shoal lying offshore does support some aquatic submerged vegetation, however, its
density is low. Approximately 12,500 cubic yards of material is projected to be
generated by this project. The spoil area is adjacent to the basin and a.portion
of this area has been used for hydraulic spoil. This disposal area will be enlarged
to encompass an area of„64,000 square feet and capable of holding 14,200 cubic yards
of materials. The effluent will return to the basin and Pamlico Sound. The spoil
disposal area can be constructed all on highground and should be staked before
construction begins because a fringe of marsh grass exists on the basin side and
a rather large marsh area exist on the eastern side of the property.
. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The dredging will result in the-deepening of 125,000 square feet of shallow water
habitat of the Pamlico Sound. Very little submerged vegetation will be lost. Some
elevated turbidity levels can be expected as a result of the dredging. The spoil
disposal area is just large enough to contain the spoil and proper management must
be maintained to prevent a contravention of water quality standards.
CAMA REVIEW:
I
The project site is classified a`s transition in the Dare County LUP. The project
is consistent with that plan.

Dear Mr. Cahoon:
On February 6, 1986, we renewed general permit No. SAWCO80-N-
000-0291 (enclosed), which provides Federal authorization for
construction activities that receive authorization from the State
of North Carolina.
A review of your application received August 6, 1986, for a
Department of the Army permit to maintain an access channel in
Pamlico Sound, Hatteras Harbor Marina, northeast of Frisco, Dare
County, North Carolina, indicates it to be a candidate for Federal
authorization under this general permit. Accordingly, the
administrative processing of your application will be accomplished
by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management. Comments
from Federal review agencies will be furnished to the State.
If your application must be withdrawn from this general permit
process for any reason, you will be written and informed of its
further managemept. If there are no unresolved differences of
State-Federal positions or policy, the final action taken on your
application by the State will result in your receiving written
notice from us that your application has been successfully
processed under our general permit. Only after receiving such
confirmation should you begin work.
Your application, pursuant to Section 10 of the River and
Harbor Act, has been assigned No. SAWC086-N-028-0489 and will be
coordinated by Mr. Hugh Heine. He is available to address
questions or comments you may have at telephone [phone].
