Ensign Harbor SAV Survey
This serves as a letter report on the findings of the Survey for Submerged
Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) regarding the proposed Ensign Harbor expansion in
response to your letter to Mr. Nick Santoro dated May 10, 2006. Discussions prior to
and after the survey were undertaken with Mr. Kyle Barnes of the Washington Regional
Office.
Aerial photography from the Division of Coastal Management (2000) and bottom
substrate mapping from the Division of Marine Fisheries were reviewed as base
information (attached). The survey was conducted on June 1, 2006 from 9:30
tol1:30am. Sampling along the existing piers and docks was conducted with tongs and
samples were taken every 10' to 15'. Next, in the water sampling using a small tooth
rake was conducted from the shoreline out to a depth of -4 feet along transects every
15 feet along the entire shoreline.
The bottom within 10' to 20' of shoreline was moderately firm and gradually
turned to very soft organic muds. As depicted in the attached plat ( a 200%
enlargement of the plat submitted with the permit application) widgeon grass (Ruppia
maritima) was observed in varying densities along the shoreline and out to a depth of -3
to -3.5 feet. No vegetation or rhizomes were observed beyond that depth. Along the
northernmost shoreline, just north of the northernmost pier and between this pier and
the middle pier, widgeon grass was dense from the shoreline to approximately 65 feet
from the shore (to a depth of -3.5 feet). Between the middle pier and the dingy dock
pier, widgeon grass was very scattered with no observances more than 40 feet from
shore, perhaps affected by the presence of large pine trees along the shoreline. South
of the dingy dock, widgeon grass was moderately dense within an area about 45 feet
from shore.
P
As shown in the attached plat, all of the existing slips at ensign Harbor are in
approximately -5+ feet of water and no observances of SAV were noted for the area.
Along the northern pier the existing slips are also in -5+ feet of water with no
observance of SAV. The proposed three-slip expansion (slips 27, 28 and 29) along this
pier were in depths from -4.7 to -5.2 feet and no observances of SAV were noted in this
area.
It is my professional opinion that there are no direct, indirect or cumulative
impacts to SAV beds or habitat from the existing or proposed slips at Ensign Harbor.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

NCAC 2H .0506 and will place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional
information. Please provide the following information so that we may continue to review your
project.
Additional Information Requested:
1. Please conduct a Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) study on your entire project area,
and contact Kyle Barnes of the DWQ Washington Regional Office if you have questions
regarding this type of study.
Please respond within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending this information to me in
writing and Kyle Barnes of the DWQ Washington Regional Office. If we do not hear from you
within three weeks, we will assume that you no longer want to pursue this project and we will
consider the project as withdrawn.
This letter only addresses the application review and does not authorize any impacts to wetlands,
waters or protected buffers. Please be aware that any impacts requested within your application

9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
Project Setting
. The site is located near the community of Whortonsville, Pamlico County. To access the site,
head east on SR1321 from the Town of Oriental and go 7.6 miles, then turn right onto SR1325.
Head south for 1.6 miles and turn right onto. SR1326. Go approximately 250' and the entrance to
inarina is a gravel road on the right. The site is on two tracts of land that together encompass 9.59
. acres total and are adjacent to Brown Creek. The property has an elevation of approximately 5'
above the NWL. The majority of the lot is covered with sod grass, however, there are a few scattered
loblolly pine and red cedar trees on the site. There is a fringe of black needle rush and giant cord
grass along the shoreline and a 300' long manmade canal along the southern property boundary. The
property is over 900 feet in length along the shoreline and manmade mosquito canal.
The applicant developed the site under State Permits 258-88, 50-94, 115-96, and 139-01, which
included a SEPA review. Currently on the property there is a single-family residence, a bathhouse,
and a gravel parking area for 31 vehicles. There are also three docks on the property. The dock on
the north side of the property currently is comprised of 4 boat slips. The middle dock currently has
22 boat slips. The dock on the south end of the property is currently utilized as a dingy dock for the
loading and unloading of dingys. A marine pumpout unit is available at the site, however; no. fuel or
other services are provided at the marina. The marina currently prohibits live-aboard and overnight
accommodations.
Brown Creek is classified SA; HQW and NSW by the EMC in the area of the proposed
construction. Brown Creek is classified by the Division of Marine Fisheries as a Primary Nursery
Area, however, it is closed to shellfishing by the Shellfish Sanitation Section of the Division of
Environmental Health. Water depths in the area of the proposed boat slips range from -4.7' to -5.2'
below the NWL. Brown Creek is approximately 660 feet wide in the project vicinity. Wideon Grass
was observed during the site visits and was clearly visible within 16' of the project area.. The creek
bottom substrate is composed of a silty sand in the project location. The Pamlico County Land Use
Plan classifies the site as rural with services with all AECs classified as Conservation.
Currently there is a private dock on the adjoining lot to the north, however, there is not a dock on
the adjoining property to the south. The nearest commercial dock in Brown Creek is the 32-slip
Point Marina dock located downstream of the proposed project at the mouth of Brown Creek and
terminus of SR1326.
Project Proposal
The applicant proposes to add 3 boat slips to the 4 slip dock on the north side of the property and
labeled on the plats as slips 27-29. This would be accomplished by adding six mooring pilings and a
4' x 16' finger pier off the existing dock at 32' landward of the existing platform The proposed
construction would create two 16' X 39' boat slips and one 24' X 39' boat slip. The two 16' wide
slips are proposed to serve monohull sailboats and the 24' wide slip is proposed to serve a catamaran
sailboat. The slips would be located between the northern and middle piers and would be over 60'

from the nearest adjacent riparian line. The proposed slip locations places the boat slips in waters
with depths in the -4.7' to -5.2' below NWL range.
Anticipated Impacts
The proposed boat slips would usurp an additional 2,184 sq. ft. of Estuarine Waters and Public
Trust Areas'-of Brown Creek and would shade 64 sq. ft. of shallow water habitat as proposed.
Depending on the draft of the boats berthed at the proposed slips, impacts to-SAV beds may occur..
A localized *and temporary increase in turbidity can be expected during the in-water construction
portion of the finger pier and mooring pilings. No additional shellfish waters should be closed from
the proposal.
