4f. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
To perform maintenance dredging in the state maintained channel and basin and the Fort Fisher Ferry Terminal in
Fort Fisher, NC.The current channel and basin has serious shoaling on either side and is causing safety issues
for both the ferries and the travelers on board.
4g. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The NCDOT — Ferry Division will have upcoming dredging operations at the Fort Fisher Ferry Terminal. Shoaling
in the channel and basin have become a concern for the ferries traveling back and forth and also a concern for
the traveling public's safety. The ferries need a clear and wide channel to safely make the multiple daily trips back
and forth from Fort Fisher to Southport. Our most recent survey of this area was done on September 4, 2018 and
shows that 171,451 cubic yards needs to be removed from the channel to meet the current permitted depth of 14
feet. All work will be completed by the NCDOT Ferry Division Marine Maintenance crew who operates the state
owned hydraulic pipeline "Dredge Manteo". All material removed from the Fort Fisher basin and channel will be
pumped into the adjacent spoil site. NCDOT utilizes this upland spoil site under a license (License No. DACA21-3-
13-4099) granted by the Department of Army — Savannah District — Corps of Engineers. A capacity survey of this
spoil site was recently completed by the NCDOT Locations and Surveys Unit. They determined there was 199,749
cubic yards of space available for material. Due to sturgeon and turtle moratoriums dredging activities will not
begin until November 15th, 2018. Equipment that will be used during the project includes the Dredge Manteo,
tugs, small barges, and an excavator for spoil site activities.
4h. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project.
