FROM: Maria T. Dunn, Coastal Coordinator

DATE: September 19, 2018
SUBJECT: CAMA Dredge/Fill Permit Application for Horizon East LLC, Tidal Bluff Court,
Carteret County, North Carolina.
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) reviewed the permit
application with regard to impacts on fish and wildlife resources. The project site is located off Norris
Landing Road, adjacent Pettiford Creek Bay in Peletier, NC Our comments are provided in accordance
with provisions of the Coastal Area Management Act (G.S. 113A-100 through 113A-128), as amended,
Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act, as amended, and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act
(48 Stat. 401, as amended, 16 U_S.C. 661 et seq.).
The applicant proposes to construct a six -slip docking facility to serve a yet to be developed six lot
subdivision. The facility's access would be 5' wide and cross 135' of Section 404 wetlands and 275' of
coastal marsh before it extends 135' into the waterbody. Pier height would be 3' above wetland substrate.
The 135' extension into the water body is within range of nearby piers, 83' and 240' in length. A 5' by
67.6' platform would have three 3' by 24' finger piers extending from it to create six slips, each with 13'
by 13' lifts. Water depths in the proximity of the slips range from -2' to -2.2' NLW. The application states
no submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) was observed in the project area but did not detail if a survey was
conducted. Petiford Creek at this location is classified SA by the Environmental Management
Commission, is closed to shellfish harvesting, and is designated a primary nursery area (PNA) by the NC
Division of Marine Fisheries.
The NCWRC has reviewed the available material and is concerned with the establishment of a multi -slip
facility in PNA designated waters that has water depths approximating -2' NLW. While it is appreciated
that the subdivision is concentrating its water access to one area, our concerns could be lessened by
observing the following:
Mailing Address: Habitat Conservation • 1721 Mail Service Center • Raleigh, NC 27699-1721
Telephone: [phone] • Fax: [phone]

The current position of the facility is well within the'/ width of the water body and established
pierhead line. Extending the structure into deeper waters would minimize scour and hull scraping
concerns. It is difficult to discern from the available information whether extending the facility
further into the creek would provide this opportunity.
— Depending on the style of lifts, stops should be incorporated into the system if deeper water
depths cannot be obtained.
— As proposed, there is one slip per lot. Future impacts to shallow water habitats could be address if
the six -slip facility served as the only water access point and the remaining waterfront lots had
deed or covenant restrictions-
- This area does not appear to have a permit to perform maintenance dredging. Therefore, if the
structure is permitted, constructed, and subsequent shoaling occurs, the NCWRC would view any
request to dredge as a new dredging activity. Our agency does not support new dredging in PNA
designated waters.
We appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on this permit application. If you need further
assistance or additional information, please contact me at [phone] or at
