CONSISTENCY DETERMINATION
UPGRADE SLOCUM MARINA - PROJECT N808
MARINE CORPS AIR STATION (MCAS)
CHERRY POINT, NORTH CAROLINA
1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION. MCAS Cherry Point, is planning to
improve a marina on Slocum Creek in Craven County. The project
includes the construction of two floating piers and a boat
storage building. Pier "A" will be approximately 172' long.
Pier "B" will be approximately 162' long. Both piers will be 8'
wide with an 8' x 42" tee on the end. Each pier will have eight
4' x 12' finger piers,and approximately 40 mooring pilings to
accomodate 20 boats. Construction will be of treated wood
decking and stringers on foam-type floatation billets wrapped
with filter fabric. Both piers will tie into an existing
bulkhead. Three existing, deteriorating wooden piers will be
removed.
The boat storage building will be a 40' x 100' metal building
to be constructed on an upland site previously occupied by a
building.
The project will not involve any dredging or filling of any
wetlands. Some fill will be placed in an upland area adjacent to
a forested wetland during site preparation for the boat storage
building. Sedimentation and erosion control measures will be
used to prevent impact on the wetland area.
2. AREAS OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN AEC'S. The project will take
place in the Estuarine System and will affect the Public Trust
Area AEC of Slocum Creek. The project is defined as an
acceptable use of the general and specific use standards
contained in 15NCAC 7H.208, the following apply:
a. 7H.208(a)(1) - The project is water dependent.
b. 7H.208(a)(2)(A) The location, design, and need for the
project is consistent with the management objective for the
Public Trust Area (AEC).
C. 7H.208(a)(2)(B) - The project design will not impact on
the productivity of any marshland, fish, shellfish, or wildlife
area. No suitable alternative exists.
d. 7H.208(a)(2)(B) - Water and air quality standards wil not
be violated.
e. 7H.208(a)(2)(D) - An archaeological survey completed in
1984 lists the area as low probability for undiscovered cultural
resources. No known archaeological or historical resources are
present.
f. 7H.208(a)(2)(t) - Siltation will be controlled during;
construction.
g. 7H.208(a)(2)(F) - Stagnant water will not be created.
Rnr.l sure I ,l

h. 7H.208(a)(2)(G) - Although the project has not been
planned for any specific time of year, and may take place during
peak biological activity, the small scale of the project should
not affect the life cycles of estuarine resources.
i. 7H.208(a)(2)(H) - Navigation and access to public trust
areas will not be impeded.
j. 7H.208(b)(5)(B) - The marina is being developed on a
deepwater site, and will not disturb shallow water areas or
wetlands.
k. 7H.208(b)(6)(A) - The piers will not interfere with
waterflow.
1. 7H.208(b)(6)(C) - The project will not affect navigation
and public use of waters.
M. 7H.208(b)(6)(E) - The piers will not extend more than
one-third the width of Slocum Creek.
n. 7H.208(b)(5)(C)(i) - The marina will have a mix of dry
storage, lauching facilities and berthing spaces.
o. 7H.208(b)(5)(C
boats without on-board
station information si
p. 7H.208(b)(5)(C
minimized by providing
oil and other wastes.
ii - The marina will be used for small
heads, and should not require pumping
gns.
iii - Pollutant impacts will be
proper storage and disposal facilities for
q. 7H.208(b)(7)(H) - Fill material will be obtained from an
upland source.
3. LAND USE PLANS. The project, is consistent with the Craven
County Land Use Plan classification of Marine Corps Air Station
as "developed".
4. GENERAL POLICIES. The project is consistent with the
general policies for coastal water quality.
5. OTHER STATE POLICIES. A review of the state policies
outlined in the Coastal Management Program indicates that the
project is consistent with the policies on water and air,
wetlands preservation, recreation, and federal consistency and
national interest. A Water Quality Certification should not be
required due to absence of any fill in wetlands or water. Less
than one acre of ground will be disturbed during construction,
therefore, a sedimentation and erosion control plan should not be
required. It should be noted that sedimentation and erosion
control measures >.i1.1 he _mplemented.
6. CONCLUSION. Project N808, Upgrade Slocum 'Marina, is
consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Area '•tanagement Act
of 1974.

June 9, 1988
PUBLIC NOTICE
U.S. MARINE CORPS AIR STATION, CHERRY POINT, North Carolina 28533-5000,
has applied for a Department of the Army permit TO CONSTRUCT MARINA FACILITIES
ON SLOCUM CREEK, U.S. Marine Corps Air Station, Cherry Point, Craven County,
North Carolina.
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the.
applicant and from observations made during an onsite visit by a
representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the
application show the proposed removal of two piers and the construction of two
floating piers. Pier "A" is to be approximately 172 feet long and Pier "B" is
to be approximately 162 feet long. Both piers are to be 8 feet wide and have
8-foot-wide by 42-foot-long "T's" at their waterward ends. Each pier is to
have eight 4-foot-wide by 12-foot-long finger piers and 40 mooring piles to
provide moorings for 20 boats. Treated wood is to be used for stringers and
decking and floating structures are to be supported by foam-type floatation
billets wrapped with filter fabric. Both piers are to tie into an existing
bulkhead. The purpose of the work is to provide recreational marina
facilities for military personnel. Plans showing the work are included with
this public notice.
The applicant has determined that the proposed work is consistent with the
North Carolina Coastal Zone Management Plan and has submitted this
determination to the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management for their
review and concurrence. This proposal shall be reviewed for the applicability
of other actions by North Carolina agencies such as:
a. The issuance of a Water Quality Certification under Section 401 of the
Clean Water Act by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management.
b. The issuance of a permit to dredge and/or fill under North Carolina
General Statute 113-229 by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management.
c. The issuance of a permit under the North Carolina Coastal Area
Management Act (CAMA) by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management or
their delegates.
. d. The issuance of an easement to fill or otherwise occupy State-owned
submerged land under North Carolina General Statute 143-341(4), 146-6, 146-11,
and 146-12 by the North Carolina Department of Administration and the North
Carolina Council of State.

-2-

e. The approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan by the Land
Quality Section, North Carolina Division of Land Resources, pursuant to the
State Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (NC G.S. 113 A-50-66).
The application for Department of the Army authorization will be denied, if
any required State or local authorization and/or certification is denied. No
Department of the Army permit will be issued until a State coordinated
viewpoint is received and reviewed by this agency. Recipients of this notice
are encouraged to furnish comments on factors of concern represented by the
above agencies directly to the respective agency, with a copy furnished to the
Corps of Engineers.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 10 of the River
and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403). Any person may request, in writing
within the comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing be
held to consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state,
with particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.
The District Engineer has consulted-the latest published version of the
National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered
properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein, and
this worksite is not registered property or property listed as being eligible
for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register
constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District
Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources.
Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical
data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit.
The District Engineer has determined, based on a review of data furnished
by the applicant and onsite observations, that the activity will not affect
species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened
pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of
the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity
and its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable
impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires a
careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular
case. The benefits which-reasonably may be expected to accrue from the
proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The
decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which
it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the
general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern
for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which
may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumulative
effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general

-3-
environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values,
flood hazards and flood plain values (in accordance with Executive Order
11988), land use, navigation, shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water
supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber
production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in
general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the
placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, a
permit will be denied if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit
would not comply with the Environmental Protection Agencies' 404(b)(1)
guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any other applicable
guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District Engineer
determines that it would be contrary to the public interest.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will
be received in this office, Attention: Mr. David Baker, until 4:15 p.m.,
July 11, 1988, or telephone [phone].
