Field Investigation Report

9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
Project Setting
The Town of Atlantic Beach located on Bogue Banks, in Carteret County, has historically maintained recreational
boating channels for the purpose of promoting tourism and boating related economic activity in the Town. Numerous
permits have been issued over the years to excavate and maintain the many channels and canals within the Town
limits. The last permit issued for the maintenance dredging of the AIWW access channel was CAMA Major Permit # 39-
99 issued in April of 1999.
The dredging method proposed for this project is to excavate the material with a barge-mounted excavator and
place the material in a floating barge. This material would be transferred from the barge to trucks at one of two off-
loading sites. The sites for transferring the material are the Moonlight Bay boat ramp on Moonlight Dr., or the old bridge
abutment west of the southern end of the existing causeway bridge. The disposal site would be chosen by the
contractor, and then approved by the Division of Coastal Management before dredging could begin.
Bogue Sound in the project area is classified as SA waters by the Division of Water Quality and is open to
shellfishing. There does not appear to be a shellfish resource in the area and no SAVs were noted in the field visit.
The Division of Marine Fisheries does not classify the area as a PNA. The Atlantic Beach LUP classifies all AECs as
Conservation.
Project Description
i
The Town proposes to dredge by barge-mounted excavator 1,538 linear feet of the AIWW access channel west
of the Morehead City-Atlantic Beach Causeway. Approximately 15,300cy of material would be removed. The average
top width of the channel would be 81', with an average bottom width of 60' at a depth of -6' at mean low water. The
AIWW access channel was surveyed in September 2005. A copy of the survey is on sheets 2 and 3. Dredging will
correspond to the naturally occurring channel depths.
The size of the disposal area is not known at this time, however if the area is not large enough to accommodate
all the spoils, the spoils would have to be dried and trucked offsite before new spoils could be deposited. Dredging
would have to stop until either a new site was located or trucking material away from the existing site made room The
material is comprised of mainly fine and medium sand with very little mud content (less than 1 %). Due to the method of
dredging, necessary spoil dimensions have been calculated based on one cubic yard of depth to be confined onsite by
traditional sedimentation and erosion control measures.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
Approximately 124,578sf of Public Trust and estuarine bottom would be dredged, and approximately 15,300cy
of material would be removed from the estuarine system as a result of the dredging project.. Since there appears that
there are limited shellfish resources in the area, any impact to such would be negligible. The most significant affect of
the project should be positive and should benefit the boating community as a result of the improved navigational
waterways. Approximately 137,700sf of high ground area would be impacted by the placement of the spoils. Some
turbidity could be expected while excavation is occurring.

MAINTENANCE DREDGING
AIWW ACCESS CHANNEL
TOWN OF ATLANTIC BEACH
ATLANTIC BEACH, CARTERET COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
PROJECT NARRATIVE
INTRODUCTION
The Town of Atlantic Beach proposes to perform maintenance dredging of channels
within town. A permit is requested that will permit dredging of the channel immediately
and also periodic maintenance dredging for 5 years or over the life of the permit.
Dredging is currently required to alleviate shoaling in the AIWW access channel which
runs nearly parallel to and due west of the Morehead City, Atlantic Beach Causeway
Bridge. Dredging is required over approximately 1538 feet of channel with an average
top width of 81 feet, an average bottom width of 60 feet, and at a depth of 6 feet MLW.
The dredged material will be removed by barge mounted excavator or dragline and
placed in a floating barge then transferred from the barge to truck by excavator or
backhoe. At one of the proposed offloading sites (See Sheet 1) trucks will move the
material to a site chosen by dredge contractor and approved by DCM. The applicant has
conducted maintenance dredging of the access channel and other channels west of the
causeway bridge under previously issued CAMA permits.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project consists of the following elements:
• Removal by dragline or barge mounted excavator dredging of approximately
15,300 cubic yards of material from the AIWW access channel.
• Off load dredged material at Moonlight Bay boat ramp and/or old bridge
abutment west of the southern end of the existing causeway bridge.
• Disposal at DCM approved upland disposal site chosen by the dredging
contractor. 4
Maintenance Dredging, AIWW Access Channel Rev. December 2, 2005
Town of Atlantic Beach Page 1 of 3
Major CAMA Permit Application - Narrative
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The AIWW access channel was surveyed in September 2005. The results of that survey
are provided on sheets 2 and 3. Generally, the material to be dredged is fine and
medium sand with negligible mud content (less than 1 percent). The channel is
maintained naturally at a depth of between 2 and 3.5 feet, but the channel location
meanders unpredictably requiring frequent location of channel markers for safe passage.
i
The dredging will take advantage of the naturally occurring channel depths. Dredging to
a maximum depth of 6 feet (MLW) will cause the channel location to stabilize for an
extended period making the channel safer for boaters.
The proposal disposal site will be an upland area chosen by the dredging contractor and
approved by DCM. The town proposes to store the sand at the approved upland site and
use the material for miscellaneous uses under the direction of the Public Works
Department.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
No upland improvements, pavements, walkways or other impervious surfaces will be
constructed as part of the project. No stormwater management or additional stormwater
measures will be required for this project.
DREDGE MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS
Seven surficial samples were collected from the channel area to be dredged. The
samples were analyzed using methods employed to test compatibility of sand for beach
disposal including analysis for mud content and percent shell. Grain size information of
size distribution plots for each of the seven samples collected are available upon
request. Generally the dredge material is fine to medium sand with less than 1 percent
mud. Shell (calcium carbonate) content ranges from 2 to 15 percent.
The analysis indicates that, because mud content is low, turbidity associated with the
dredging will be limited and short lived. Material in the overwash will settle quickly in the
I
water column and should not create a turbidity plume extending beyond the immediate
area of the excavation activity.

Town of Atlantic Beach Page 2 of 3
Major CAMA Permit Application - Narrative
I
METHODS OF CONSTRUCTION
Dredging will be done by dragline or barge mounted excavator with disposal to a floating
barge. The material will be moved by barge to a landside location, Moonlight Bay boat
ramp and/or bridge abutment, offloaded to dump trucks and hauled to an upland
disposal site chosen by contractor and approved by DCM. If the contractor's site
exceeds one acre, he will be required to obtain or have in place an erosion and sediment
control plan and permit approved by the Division of Land Resources, Land Quality
Section.
PROJECT SCHEDULE
Dredging of the access channel will be initiated as soon as the CAMA permit is issued.
COMPLIANCE WITH COUNTY OF CARTERET ZONING AND CAMA LAND USE PLAN
There are no Land Use issues associated with this project. The disposal site to be
approved by DCM will be required to meet requirements of CAMA Land Use Plans.
COMPLIANCE WITH THE N. C. ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT
The dredging work proposed as part of this application is maintenance dredging of a
previously maintained channel and does not require review under the N. C.
Environmental Policy Act.
ADJACENT RIPARIAN PROPERTY OWNERS
The project site is in open water and does not involve any riparian property owners.
