9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
Project Setting
The project site is located near the Town of Oriental in Pamlico County at the confluence
of Whittaker Creek (which is to the west of the property) and the Neuse River (which is to
the south of the property). Windward Shores subdivision, is located immediately
downstream of the tract along the Neuse River while a large undeveloped tract of land is
located just upstream along the Whittaker Creek side of the property. The 46-acre tract
consists of old field and woodland habitat. The southwest portion of the tract forms a
peninsula with a protective shallow water cove abutting most of the western shoreline. The
peninsula has been subject to severe erosion over the years. There is some 6300 linear feet
of shoreline along both Whittaker Creek and the Neuse River. Nearly 10 acres of the tract
is considered wetlands with much of that being Coastal Wetlands. The marsh is extensive
with Spartina alterniflora, S. cynosuroides, and S. patens being the dominant vegetation.
Some 300' of rock rip rap exists on the site near the spit as well as some 150' of marsh
enhancement breakwater.
Water depths within the cove are extremely shallow with water depths averaging -2'
below normal water level (NWL), but there is a 4' to 5' contour line located some 100' off
the north side of the peninsula and some 200' off the point on the north side of the cove.
The entrance channel into Whittaker Creek is located just to the west of the property. The
waters are classified as SA and nutrient sensitive (NSW) and Whittaker Creek is a
designated Primary Nursery Area (PNA). The area is closed to shellfishing. There were
no SAVs noted at the project site during the site visit. There is a known archaeological site
located on the narrow spit of land leading to the peninsula point.
The project as proposed is subject to the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act and a
Finding of No Significant Impact was issued by the Department of Administration on
August 14, 2002. During the EA process, the applicant made several commitments to
minimise potential impacts of the project. These will be addressed later in this report.
Project Description
Whittaker Point Properties proposes to develop a 53-slip residential marina associated
with a 29-lot and 52-townhome subdivision within the cove of Whittaker Creek. The
project is proposed in phases with phase 1 involving 21 lots and the marina, phase 2
involving 8 lots and 24 townhomes, and finally phase 3 involving 28 townhomes. The
marina would be located only 50' from the navigational channel leading into the "boat
abundant" Whittaker Creek. Amenities associated with the proposed marina include a
bathhouse and pool, a bulkhead and rip rap shoreline and a gazebo.
- - .-
FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
WHITTAKER POINT PROPERTIES, LLC/PAMLICO COUNTY
PAGED
-----------------------------------------
Access to the 53-slip marina would occur along the northern side of the cove at one of the
few sections of high ground shoreline. A 12'-wide gravel path some 190' in length would lead
to the main access that is also 12' in width. The "funky-shaped" structure would include a
total of 500' linear feet of 12'-wide access leading to three' "piers" of docks measuring 8' in
width and some 130', 265' and 410' in length respectively'. An 8'- wide platform would be
located at the end of each dock that measures 65', 110', and 110' respectively. The first
dock would have 6 slips - five @ 18' X 40' and one @ 30' X 35'. The second dock would
include 22 slips - twelve @ 20' X 50'; four @ 16' X 35'; and two @ 30' X 35'. The third
dock would include eleven @ 20' X 50'; seven @ 18' X 40'; six @ 16' X 35'; and one @
30' 35'. Access to the slips would be facilitated by construction of 24 finger piers some
3.25' wide. Half of the finger piers would be 24' in length and half would be 30' in
length.
The applicant proposes to bulkhead 70' of high ground shoreline along the marina access
pier at a 2' average distance offshore. The bulkhead would be 2' above grade and the fill
material feathered back into to grade. An additional 460' of high ground shoreline along
the cove and spit would be stabilized with riprap at a distance of 6' offshore of the NWL.
Minimal backfilling is proposed along these sections of shoreline. Finally, another 840'
foot of eroding marsh (mostly along the spit area) would be stabilized with riprap placed at
grade along a 5' alignment. No backfill is proposed along these sections.
All high ground development except for the 12'-wide gravel path and a 12' X 12' open
gazebo proposed along the spit some 30' from the NWL is located outside of the Coastal
Shoreline AEC. Wastewater treatment facilities would be provided by Bay River Metro
Sewer Authority and according to the applicant this has been extended into phase 1 of the
project. Water would be provided by the Pamlico County Water System. No wetlands are
proposed to be filled by the proposal. A Stormwater Certification was issued on 3/13/00
for phase 1 and a Sedimentation Erosion and Control Plan approved for .phase 1 " on
9/15/99.
Anticipated Impacts
The project as proposed would result in the grading and filling of over 4.8 acres of high
ground outside the Coastal Shoreline AEC for the streets, marina parking area, bathhouse
and pool, gazebo, and the 52 townhomes and associated parking. Construction of the
marina would usurp approximately 55,240 ftZ of Public Trust Areas of Whittaker Creek by
the many docks, slips and finger piers. Approximately 18,436 ft2 of Estuarine Waters
would be shaded by construction of the docks and piers. Although the marina is proposed
to be located outside the entrance channel into Whittaker Creek, there is the potential to
adversely affect small boaters not using the channel. Similarly, the marina could impact
crab potters, fishermen and other small boaters, kayaks etc. that currently use the area.

-----------------------------------------
Anticipated Impacts cont.
The bulkhead and riprap installation would result in the filling of approximately 7,100 ftz
of shallow estuarine bottom. Impervious coverage within the Coastal Shoreline would be
less than 1 %.
During the EA process, the applicant in an attempt to minimize the affects of the marina
on the PNA, produced an Operations and Maintenance Manual to be used at the Whittaker
Point Marina. Included in that manual are commitments to monitor various parameters
within Whittaker Creek including water quality and fish and benthic macroinvertebrate
sampling (the manual is attached to the back of the application).

PROJECT NARRATIVE
WHITTAKER POINT RESIDENTIAL S
Pamlico County, NC
1. INTRODUCTION
Whittaker Point Properties proposes to create a small residential community that has
convenient access to an open water marina. The proposed development of this site will include
constructing 81 individual lots and townhomes as well as a residential marina that provides 53 boat
slips, a dockmaster station with a bathhouse and a pool, a bulkhead, rip rap, a gazebo, and a pumpout
station that will be open to the public. The Whittaker Point project will create waterfront homes for
permanent and summer residents as well as satisfy Oriental's overall need for additional boat slips.
H. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The project site is located near the town of Oriental in Pamlico County, at the confluence of
Whittaker Creek and the Neuse River, which is in the Oriental quadrangle. This tract is
approximately 46 acres and consists of old field and woodland habitat, a protective cove, and 6300
linear feet of shoreline (NWL) along Whittaker Creek and the Neuse River (Figure 1). Of the 46
acres, 9.9 acres are wetlands, which are found on the western and northern sections of the tract.
Soils present include Hobucken muck in wetland areas and Dogue fine sandy loam and Altavista
loamy fine sand in upland areas. Udorthents soils are found on the sand spit that divides the cove
from the Neuse River (Figure 2). Dominant vegetation within the wetland areas include Spartina
altern flora, S. patens, S. cynosuroides, Baccharis halimifolia, and Myrica cerifera. Upland areas are
either fields or woodlands that consist mainly of Pinus taeda, Liquidambar styraciua, Acer rubrum,
Smilax spp., Eupatorium capillifolium, and Andropogon virginicus.
The primary land use for this property has been agriculture. This land has been in cultivation
for at least the past 75 years. The tract is owned by Whittaker Point Properties, LLC and was
purchased from Miles C. and Janice S. Shorey. The southern sectio 7AUG in June
of 1999 and the northern section was acquired in March of 2001. Q 8 2002
The waters adjacent to the site are classified as SA and nu ntct ue S by
MOREHEAD
the NC Division of Water Quality. This area is also classified as a primary nursery area (PNA) by the
NC Division of Marine Fisheries. The SA classification means that the waters are suitable for
shellfishing for market purposes, recreation, and aquatic life propagation. However, these waters
have been historically closed to shellfishing. The NSW classification means that the waters may be
more susceptible to eutrophication and require limitations on nutrient inputs to the area. The PNA
classification means that a variety of juvenile finfish and shrimp develop in these waters.
M. PROJECT DESIGN AND OBJECTIVES
Whittaker Point Properties proposes to create a small residential community that has
convenient access to an open water marina. The proposed development of this site will include
constructing 29 single family lots located in the middle of the tract and along the Neuse River. In
addition, 52 townhouses that are each 75'x 25' will be constructed. Therefore, 81 units are planned
for the entire tract in three development phases (Figure 3). Development will also include a
residential marina that provides 53 boatslips (Figures 4 & 5), 28 parking spaces, a dockmaster station
with a bathhouse and a pool (16'x 32' with a 12' apron) (Figure 6), a 12'-wide gravel footpath leading
to the marina, and a pumpout station that will be open to the public. Other construction activities
planned within the property include building a small gazebo (Figure 7) and placing an additional 310'
of rock revetment (230' wetlands; 80' uplands) and 70' of bulkheads, (Figure 8) within the cove and
990' of rip rap rock revetment (610' wetlands; 380' uplands) along the sand spit in order to protect
these areas from erosion (Figures 9, 10, & 11).
IV. POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
The proposed project has been designed to minimize environmental impacts as much as
possible. No dredging will occur in the construction of the public/community marina. The planned
fixed pier will not inhibit the free movement of aquatic species within the creek or reduce habitat
2
iR= I
ranges. All slips will be located in waters greater than 4.0' NWL and sailboats a
i E
slips that are in waters at least 5.0' NWL (Figure 4).
AUG 2 8:2002
No freshwater or coastal wetland impacts are anticipated in the
Residential lots and the entrance to the marina have been carefully planned aroun wet s aHZa
75-foot Pamlico County zoning setback line has been established. The Neuse River buffer rules of 50
feet from high coastal marsh will also be observed along the southern edge of the property.
In addition, the applicant will minimize the dumping of hazardous waste in the water by
providing a free public pump out facility to eliminate boat owners pumping waste into the water and
by employing a trained dockmaster on site who will be knowledgeable in avoiding and controlling
oil/gas spills. A comprehensive Operations and Maintenance Manual has been written that includes
regulations for the marina as well as procedures to follow in case of a spill. Additionally, the
applicant will perform monitoring to assess water quality throughout the marina.. No fuel sales or
commercial boat services that could introduce toxic substances will be allowed. Deed restrictions will
be placed on waterfront lots that prohibit individual piers along the waterway.
The applicants also desire to stabilize the eroding spit of land and shoreline around the cove
by installing rock rip rap revetments. Some rip rap has already been installed along the spit via a
CAMA improvement permit. Without this action, the spit would have been eroded by previous
storms and any protective benefits to aquatic resources that this cove currently provides would have
been lost. They will also plant marsh grass on the sandy overwash material along the spit to keep it
from spreading over the cove's bottom in order to slow down the existing river breach that has
already occurred and to help stabilize this protective cove. During late winter or early spring of the
first year of construction, plugs ofSpartina alterniora will be extracted from dense stands that exist
along other sections of the spit. These plants will then be immediately replanted in denuded areas.
Because of the measures taken by the applicants to minimize and monitor environmental
impacts, the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management has issued a Finding of No Significant
Impact on the Environmental Assessment for the project.

Operations and Maintenance Manual
1.0 Introduction >_x
This Operations and Maintenance Manual describes the procedures to be used at
the Whittaker Point Marina, a residential open water facility associated with the
Whittaker Point residential development. It is the intent of this document to outline
proper procedural operations designed to ensure an environmentally sound operation.
This manual was developed using best management practices (BMPs) recommended by
the North Carolina Clean Marina Program, the Division of Coastal Management, and the
North Carolina Sea Grant.
This manual is designed to serve as a guide to marina personnel, specifically the
dockmaster, and for the information of others who may have an interest in marina
operations. Individual initiative and discretion, within the guidelines established, shall be
used in those situations where the following procedures do not apply, or should not be
applied.
2.0 Marina Operations
The Whittaker Point Marina is located near the town of Oriental at the confluence
of Whittaker Creek and the Neuse River, in Pamlico County, North Carolina (Figure 1).
The facility contains 53 slips. The water depth is approximately 4.5 to 5 feet throughout
the structure. Slip size varies (3005 (4), 20x50 (23), 18x40 (16), 1605 (10)) and is
based on water depth, with larger slips being located in deeper water (Figure 2).
The marina is part of the Whittaker Point residential development and is intended
for use by residents and their guests only. The marina office is located adjacent to the
marina itself (Figure 3) and copies of this document will be available there.
daily.
The hours of operation for the Whittaker Point Marina are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,
The marina staffing consists of one dockmaster, whose name and telephone
number shall be noted on the back of this document.
The Whittaker Point Marina maintains an experienced marina operator,
designated as the dockmaster. The dockmaster shall be responsible for assuring that the
marina is operated and maintained in accordance with the requirements presented in this
manual at all times. The marina operator and the Whittaker Point Marina are responsible
for compliance with all specifications and conditions in the permits and the principles and
procedures established in this manual.
The Dockmaster shall have a complete copy of the CAMA Major permit at the
marina, including this manual and all specifications and conditions or requirements
placed on the permits. The dockmaster shall inspect the marina at least once daily to
insure compliance with the manual. The dockmaster will report all violations promptly.
i
3.0 Water Quality Management
The Whittaker Point Marina shall comply with anywater quality monitoring
programs required by the CAMA permit. It is the intent of the marina to maintain an
environmentally sound marina operation.
The Whittaker Point Marina is located within waters that are classified as SA and
nutrient sensitive waters (NSW) by the NC Division of Water Quality. This area is also
classified as a primary nursery area (PNA) by the NC Division of Marine Fisheries. The
SA classification means that the waters are suitable for shellfishing for market purposes,
recreation, and aquatic life propagation. However, these waters have been historically
closed to shellfishing. The NSW classification means that the waters may be more
susceptible to eutrophication and require limitations on nutrient inputs to the area. The
PNA classification means that a variety of juvenile finfish and shrimp develop in these
waters that require minimal bottom disturbance.
Restrooms (one women's and one men's facility) are located at the marina
office/bath house. There are no fish cleaning stations at the marina facility and overboard
dumping of bait and chum will not be allowed.
The marina pump out station consists of a hand-operated portable unit. The unit is
free to the public and is equipped with an attached transfer tank mounted on wheels to
facilitate sanitary system discharge. Controlled discharge will be completed through the
use of septic tank pumpers. Additionally, "No Overboard Discharge" and "Free Pump out
Available" signs will be posted at several sites throughout the marina including the
terminal end of the southwest dock.
3.1 Live-aboard
Live-aboards are strictly prohibited at Whittaker Point Marina.
3.2 Sewage Pollution Management
The dockmaster shall monitor and ensure that no refuse of any kind is
thrown into the marina basin or the extended cove area. Improper disposal of
garbage will be sufficient cause to refuse service to any boat operator or to cancel
their slip lease agreement. Appropriate garbage containers are available
throughout the marina. Major boat repairs, paint scraping, boat painting, and other
activities that could cause a discharge into State waters will not be permitted at
the Whittaker Point Marina. The doclamster is responsible for enforcement of
these rules. In the event of a discharge, the dockmaster will take appropriate
action including notifying the appropriate Local, State, and Federal agencies if
necessary (a list of relevant phone numbers will be readily available at the marina
office). Regulations and penalties for non-compliance will be posted throughout
the marina property.
2
3.3 Pump-out Facilities
The Whittaker Point Marina sewage pump-out facility is a portable unit
and will be located at the marina office. This equipment will be placed at the end
of the southwest dock during weekends.
3.4 Potable Water Supply
Potable water is supplied to the marina slips by the Pamlico County water
system
3.5 Fueling System and Facilities and Oil Pollution Management
Whittaker Point Marina does not provide fueling services nor maintain
fuel storage facilities. Portable fuel containers can be transported across the docks
on an as needed basis.
Although the marina does not provide fueling services, proper spill
containment, cleanup, and reporting procedures will be followed during any spill
event. The names and addresses of the nearest Division of Water Quality and
Coast Guard offices will be posted on site.
16 Water Quality Monitoring
A water quality monitoring program will be instituted as required by
NCDENR and all results of the monitoring will be submitted to the appropriate
agencies in an annual report. If at any time sampling indicates a water quality
problem at the marina, the dockmaster will attempt to locate the source of the
problem If he/she determines that water quality degradation is resulting from a
marina related activity, he/she shall institute corrections or controls and include
the measures implemented in the water quality report to the agencies.
A list of parameters to be measured during the monitoring program is
given in Appendix A.
3.7 Stormwater Management
The Whittaker Point Marina is associated with the Whittaker Point
residential development, which includes both lots and townhomes. Development
within this site is planned in phases. Phase 1, which includes 21 lots, several
roads, and the marina, has already received NC Stormwater and Sedimentation
and Erosion Control permits. Permits for all other future phases will be acquired
prior to beginning construction and in no case will stormwater be directed into the
marina cove/basin.
4.0 Contingency Plan for Spills of Oil and Other Hazardous Substances
The marina's oil spill contingency plan is included in Appendix B.
3
5.0 Marina Rules and Regulations
1. All boats in the marina shall be operated according to the NC Wildlife
Resources CommissionTaules and Federal and State navigation laws. In
addition, the dockmaster will be trained in safe boating practices.
2. The maximum speed for boats in the marina shall be five miles per hour.
3. The speed limit for all motor vehicles on marina property shall be fifteen
miles per hour, unless otherwise posted.
4. No unauthorized motor vehicles shall be allowed on the piers at any time.
5. Smoking shall be prohibited in posted areas.
6. Docks shall be kept clean of obstructions at all times. Gear storage lockers to
be used on docks, including their location on the',docks of the marina, shall be
approved by the dockmaster only.
7. Fishing, shrimping, or crabbing from the piers or docks is prohibited unless
authorized in certain areas by the dockmaster.
8. No detergents, oils, spirits, flammable liquids, or other pollutants shall be
discharged in the
9. No garbage shall be thrown, discharged, or deposited in the marina.
10. Boat owners and operators shall be responsible for putting all refuse in the
containers provided, and maintaining their leased area in a clean condition.
11. No horseplay, boisterous or loud disturbances shall be allowed in the marina.
12. Tampering with, altering, or damaging any utility service is prohibited.
13. Alteration, renovation, repairs, etc. to the leased space shall be prohibited.
14. Conducting business or professional services from any vessel or watercraft
from the dock is prohibited unless otherwise authorized.
15. All approved fees and charges for marina services, including dockage, shall be
posted at the marina office.
16. All boat owners shall enter into a standard form of agreement and registration
with the Whittaker Point Marina for rental of dock space.
17. Berths shall be assigned by the dockmaster. No assignments of berths shall be
changed, except by the dockmaster.
18. All appeals from orders, decisions, or actions of the Whittaker Point Marina or
any notice of intent to vacate on the part of the boat owner shall be made in
writing to the dockmaster.
19. If the Whittaker Point Marina is compelled to refer any unpaid accounts to an
attorney for dockage fee, collection fees, and any other marina charges
incurred by the boat owner then the Whittaker Point Marina shall, in addition,
be entitled to charge reasonable attorney fees incurred in collection of
amounts due including interest.
20. The marina's attorney will also help the dockmaster in clarifying these rules
and recommending means of enforcement via cancellation of contracts to slips
and prescribed penalties for spills and discharges to estuarine waters, as
enforced through a lease agreement.

Appendix A.
Monitoring Parameters at Whittaker Creek
In order to assess the effects hat the Whittaker Point Marina may have on the
environment, two stations within the Whittaker Point project area will be monitored. One
station will be located in shallow water near the edge of the cove and the other will be
located in deeper water in the middle of the marina (Figure 1). An additional station will
be located further upstream of the marina within Whittaker Creek and will act as a
reference station. General site information will be collected annually between July and
August. The biotic data will be collected annually between May 15th and June 15 to
follow established DMF protocol. The water quality data will be collected weekly during
the summer and monthly during all other seasons. Monitoring will occur prior to project
construction and for three years after construction is complete. At each sampling station,
the following data will be collected:
General Site Information
Location- latitude and longitude
Water depth
Bottom type- sediment sample analysis with percent sand, silt, and clay and
percent organic matter
- Bottom and surface temperature
- Tidal fluctuations- Wind tide levels will be measured and recorded every two
hours using an automatic tide gauge. Information will be graphed annually.
- Turbidity/Sedimentation/Suspended Solids
Water Qualify
Dissolved oxygen taken at surface, mid-column, and bottom
Salinity
pH
Biotic Samnlin
- Fish sampling- Protocol will match Division of Marine Fisheries' sampling
methods. An otter trawl will be used to collect fish samples. Tows will be one
minute in duration and calibrated to span 75 yards. Samples will be taken during
daylight hours at the same tidal stage. All species will be identified and counted.
For the economically important species, a random subsample of 30-60 individuals
of each size group will be measured to the nearest millimeter. Crabs will be
measured on their backs.
Benthic macroinvertebrate sampling- Protocol will match Division of Water
Quality's sampling methods and will include both boat and shore work. A petite
ponar dredge will be used at each sampling station, with three replicates at each
location. Sandy samples will be processed through a fine mesh sampler. Three
f
sweeps will be collected from bank habitats at each site, sampling as much of the
edge habitat as possible. Other areas to be included are roots and areas of debris.
Leaves and other large particulate organic matter are to be rinsed in a wash
bucket. Macrophytes and well-colonized logs should be washed down and
processed through the fine-mesh sampler. These macroinvertebrates will be sent
to a certified lab for species identification and tolerance analysis (EPT and
NCBl).

Contingency Plan for the Spill of Oil or Other Hazardous Materials
F a I
Appendix B.
Contingency Plan for the Spill of Oil or Other; Hazardous Materials
The Whittaker Point Marina-will conduct its operations in such a manner to
encourage all individuals who handle material to prevent spills through planning, good
housekeeping, adequate equipment, proper maintenance and safe operations of related
equipment.
Upon receipt of a spill notification, the marina shall initiate the proper and
immediate response action to assist at the spill site. Notification shall be made by the
dockmaster to all other persons, agencies, industries and/or businesses throughout the
State, who could possibly be affected by the spill. In cases in which the spill material may
have a detrimental effect on air quality and/or threaten drinking water supplies,
notification is made at the proper program area by the On Scene coordinator (OSC) or his
designs.
Procedure for Reporting a Spill of Oil and/or Hazardous Material
Step 1: Anyone observing a spill (including the spiller) should report the spill
immediately. Listed below are the agencies and phone numbers to call:
- NC Dept. of Environment and Natural Resources;
Division of Waste Management [phone]
- U.S. Coast Guard at Station Hobucken, NC [phone]
- National Response Center [phone]
- Environmental Protection Agency, Atlanta, GA [phone]
Step 2: When contact is made with the above agencies, report the following information
as completely and accurately as possible:
- Location of spill
Source of spill
Time of spill
Volume of spill
Potential hazard of spill
- Has spill been contained?
- Has spill material reached a body of water?
- Responsible party's name, address, telephone, official to contact, etc.
- Weather conditions at spill site
Note: BE SURE TO RECORD THE NAME OF THE AGENCY STAFF RECEIVING THE ABOVE
INFORMATION AND THE TIME OF THE REPORT.

Step 3: If the spill report is not made by the dockmaster, the reporter will communicate
the above information to him as soon as possible. At that time, the dockmaster will
coordinate all further Whittaker Point Marina activities in response to spill control.
Spill Containment and Cleanup
It is the responsibility of the spiller to properly contain and cleanup the spill in a
timely and diligent manner. Containment involves building dikes, deploying booms and
other barriers to prevent the spread of the pollutant, limiting access to only authorized
persons if a hazardous situation exists, and other measures to minimise health and
environmental damage.
Removal of the spill material from the site usually involves physical measures
such as skimmers, sorbing materials, and other mechanical means of removaL Vacuum
trucks are an ideal means of removing quantities of the pollutant pools behind a barrier,
with the exception of pollutants with a very high or very low viscosity. In circumstances
in which extreme fire danger, other unusually hazardous circumstances exist or severe
environmental damage may result from physical cleanup, other cleanup methods may be
employed as approved by the OSC.
Disposal
Disposal of the pollutant and/or pollutant contaminated material will be in a
manner and location as approved by NCDENR Division of Waste Management.
Cost Recovery
In very unusual circumstances, the containment and cleanup of a spill may be
done by the Whittaker Point Marina. If a spill is from either an unknown source or if the
spiller is unable or unwilling to take the proper actions to contain and/or remove the spill,
and the spill is not reaching a body of water, the OSC has the authority to activate any or
all portions of the Emergency Response Team in order to accomplish spill cleanup
activities. Personnel from State or Federal Agencies and/or private spill cleanup
contractors may also be requested to assist in the containment and cleanup of the spill.
Once cleanup operations have been completed and the spiller has been identified,
the Whittaker Point Marina will initiate actions to recover all cost incurred by the marina.
