SUBJECT: Recommended Req rement for CAMA Permits McLendon and shington Yacht Club Beaufort County With reference to our earlier comments on the two subject applications, we have reconsidered the recommended condition that live-aboards not be allowed. Both permits should require that there be no overboard discharge of sewage from boats using the marinas. If a requirement of no sewage discharge is strictly enforced through the CAMA permits, live-aboards would not be expected to be a problem in and of themselves. BM/dbp cc: Jim Mulligan DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT Water Quality Section October 4, 1988 M E M O R A N D U M TO: Jo n Parker 1. ?1 ????1 FROM: ill mills i SUBJECT: Application for CAMA Permit Washington Yacht and Country Club Beaufort County The Subject application has been reviewed for water quality impacts and the following comments are offered: a. The proposed project does not require a 401 Water Quality Certification. b. Broad Creek is a wide, relatively deep, creek which is used extensively by commercial type marinas. There are currently four large commercial marinas located on the Creek. In recent years, Broad Creek has experienced poor water quality conditions such as low dissolved oxygen levels, algal blooms, elevated nutrient levels and higher chlorophylla values. These conditions have contributed to the fish kill incidents that occur on the creek, as well as in Pamlico River. We are very concerned that the proposed marina expansion may contribute to the existing water quality problems in Broad Creek and Pamlico River. It would be difficult to predict water quality standard violations due to the proposed expansion; however, the potential does exist. C., Should the permit be allowed, it will be important to make the conditions restrict to lessen the potential impacts. The facility should be equipped with a pumpout facility for boats. The marina should strictly enforce a "locked-head". Live aboards should not be allowed. Signs should be posted along the docks advising users of the locked-head policy and the location of the sewage pumpout facility.

TO: Bill Mills Operations Branch THROUGH: Roger K. Thorpe,'Wate Quality Supervisor Washington Regional Office JJ FROM: William J. Moore, Environmental Engineer bzv?wd-71z? Water Quality Section Washington Regional Office SUBJECT: DF/CAMA Review Washington Yacht & Country Club Beaufort County The project site is located off SR 1300 near Washington, North Carolina. The Washington Yacht and Country Club has an existing private marina with 150 boat slips, onshore bath houses and fueling facilities (no pumpout). The marina is located on Broad Creek which is classified SB waters. The applicant is proposing to expand the marina by constructing a 400 L.F. wooden pier to accommodate an additional 48 boat slips. No high ground development or dredging is proposed. Broad Creek is a wide, relatively deep creek which is used extensively by commercial type marinas. There are currently four large commercial marinas located on the creek. In recent years, Broad Creek has experienced poor water quality conditions such as low dissolved oxygen levels, algal blooms, elevated nutrient levels and higher chlorophyll a values. These conditions have contributed to the fish kill incidents that occur in the creek, as well as the Pamlico River (personal communication with Barry Adams (PERT), Washington Regional Office). It is my opinion that the proposed marina expansion may contribute to the existing water quality problems in Broad Creek and Pamlico River. It would be difficult to predict water quality standard contraventions due to the proposed expansion; however, the potential does exist. The Division's position in similar cases has traditionally been to approve projects where a contravention of standards cannot be predicted. The proposed project appears to fit into this category.

Project summary Applicant proposes to build a 400' long by 6' wide pier and to build 15-24' long by 2'6" wide finger piers and to sink 66 mooring pilings adjacent to finger_ piers Also proposes to add four (4) new mooring pilings 20 feet off an existing covered boathouse. Environmental settin The project is located in Beaufort County on Broad Creek at the end of SR 1300. The project site is a private yacht and country club with a golf course, main club house, bath houses, three covered boathouses, slips, boat ramp-and . fueling facilities. The marina has slips for + 150 boats and is located in one.of the most heavily developed marina areas, for a creek its size, on the North Carolina coast, including McCotter's Marina, Pamlico Plantation and East Coast Yachts. Broad Creek, which has inland waters designation, is approximately 900' wide and 4' deep at the proposed site of the new pier, and approximately 600' wide at the site of the proposed addition of pilings. There are no commercial shellfish resources in the area. The site is vegetated with upland trees and grasses. Project proposal The applicant proposes to build a 140' long by 6' wide access pier connecting to a " 200' long by 6' wide docking pier with fifteen 24' long by 2'6" wide finger piers. Placed adjacent to the finger piers will be 66 mooring pilings creating 48 new boat slips. The applicant also proposes to place 4 new mooring pilings 20' waterward of an existing boathouse. There is no proposed excavation associated with this project. Environmental impacts The proposed pier will commit an additional 9,500 sq.ft. of public trust area to the Washington Yacht and Country Club whose docks and piers already occupy + 30,000 sq.ft. of public trust area. The proposed 48 boat slips, as with any marina expansion, increase the potential for adverse water quality impacts. No wetland vegetation will be dredged, filled or shaded.
