Subject: Action ID #SAW2006-32054-065, Daniel Flohr, New Hanover County, NC
Dear Mr. Wicker:
This letter provides the comments of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) on the subject
Public Notice (PN), dated May 10, 2006. The applicant, Daniel Flohr, has applied for a Department
of the Army (DA) permit to construct an elevated, wooden boat ramp adjacent to the Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) on an access channel to Masonboro Sound. The proposed work is
being considered under Regional General Permit #198000291, a permit/processing agreement for
work that has been approved pursuant to the North Carolina Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA).
These comments are submitted in accordance with the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (FWCA)
(48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d). Comments related to the FWCA are to be used in
your determination of compliance with 404(b)(1) guidelines (40 CFR 230) and in your public interest
review (33 CFR 320.4) in relation to the protection of fish and wildlife resources. Additional
comments are provided regarding the District Engineer's determination of project impacts pursuant to
section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543).
Project Area, Proposed Actions, and Anticipated Impacts
The project area, proposed work, and anticipated impacts are described the Field Investigation Report
(FIR), dated April 12, 2006, of the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM). The
project site is a 2.65-acre resident lot on the mainland adjacent to an access channel to the AIWW in
Masonboro Sound. The property has an existing boat basin, boathouse with boatlift, and floating
dock on the western corner of the property. Along the eastern side of the property, site of the
proposed ramp, there is a border of coastal wetlands 16-20 feet in width. The waters of the AIWW
and Masonboro Sound are classified as SA-ORW (Outstanding Resource Waters) by the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality. They are also designated a Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the
North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF), but are closed to the harvesting of shellfish.
The applicant proposed to construct a wooden ramp, 32 feet long by 14 feet wide, sloping downward
from an existing bulkhead into the water of the estuarine access channel. The ramp would extend 32
feet waterward of normal high water (NHW) and 15 feet beyond the waterward edge of the coastal
wetlands. The ramp would cross over the fringe of coastal wetlands. The waterward base of the
ramp would be at a depth of four feet and normal low water (NLW). A special design feature would

2
space the decking board 5/8 of an inch apart to allow sun and rain to penetrate the ramp. Technical
drawing states that 11 percent of the ramp would be open for the passage of sunlight. The ramp
would be supported by six wooden pilings. The stated purpose of the ramp would be for very
occasional boat use, swimming, and fishing. The FIR states that the proposed structure would shade
224 square feet (ft) of vegetated wetlands and incorporate 210 ft2 of open, estuarine waters.
Federally Protected Species
The Service has reviewed available information on federally-threatened or endangered species
known to occur in New Hanover County. We have also reviewed information from the North
Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database which contains excellent data on the special
status species, both federal and state. This database can be accessed by topographic quadrangle
(quad) of the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS). Data from USGS quads provide the most project-
specific information on species which should be considered in permitting this project. The project
area is in the Wrightsville Beach quad. The occurrence data of special status species within this quad
can be obtained on the internet at < http://www.ncnhp.org/Pages/heritaizedata.htm] >.
The Service carefully considers potential impacts for all in-water construction on the West Indian
manatee (Trichechus manatus), a federally-endangered mammal. Manatees move along the Atlantic
Coast during summer months and are seasonal transients in North Carolina, primarily from June
through October. Manatees may occupy waters as shallow as three feet deep. The species moves
extensively when in North Carolina waters and past occurrence records cannot be used to precisely
determine the likelihood that it will be presence at a particular construction site.
Manatees are known to occur in New Hanover County and there are current occurrence records in the
Wrightsville Beach quad. Manatees could occur in the project area. Any in-water construction, such
as pile driving, may pose a risk to manatees. The application states that a water jet pump and small
crane would be used for piling installation. For such construction Service recommends that our
guidelines entitled "Precautions for General Construction in Areas Which May Be Used by the West
Indian Manatee in North Carolina" be included as permit conditions. These guidelines address all
types of in-water construction, except blasting, and should produce little, if any, additional expense.
The guidelines are intended mainly to ensure that construction personnel are informed that manatees
may occur in the work area, that work should cease if a manatee approaches the work area, work
should not resume until the manatee leaves the work area, and procedures for reporting the death or
injury of a manatee. These guidelines are available on our web site at < http://nc-
es.fws.gov/mammal/manatee gTuidelines.pdf>. The risk to manatees could be reduced to an
acceptable level by the implementation of the Service's guidelines. The risk would be further
reduced by performing the work during the period of November through May.
With the inclusion of appropriate procedures to protect the manatee, the Service would concur with a
determination by the District Engineer that the action is not likely to adversely affect species
designated as threatened, endangered, or their designated critical habitat. However, the requirement
of section 7 would need to be reconsidered if. (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified
action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered; (2) this
action is subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review; or, (3) a new
species is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the identified action.

Service Concerns and Recommendations
While the need for the proposed structure could be questioned in light of existing facilities on the
property, we recognize the minimal direct impacts that would occur. We are pleased that the design
includes some spacing for the passage of sunlight.
The Service is concerned about one, potential secondary adverse impact. The launch and retrieval of
motorized watercraft from the ramps would create adverse impacts. The passage of even small
motorized craft in out of the shallow water would create harmful turbidity and subsequent
sedimentation within the PNA. While it seems unlikely that an outboard motorboat would be
launched from the ramp, we are concerned about the use of jet skis. We recommend that the use of
the ramp be limited to the activities stated in the permit application, i.e., very occasional boat use,
swimming, and fishing, with "boat use" been confined to non-motorized craft such as a canoe or
kayak. We would not support the use of the ramp for jet skis. The Service requests that the DA
permit specifically prohibit the use of jet skis or other motorized watercraft at the ramp site.
Overall, with prudent measures to protect the manatee and a limitation of boat use to non-motorized
craft, the Service does not believe the activities described in the PN and FIR would have significant
adverse and/or irreversible effects on fish and wildlife resources. Therefore, the Service has no
objection, from the standpoint of fish and wildlife under our jurisdiction, to the issuance of a DA
permit for the proposed activities.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to comment on this permit application. If you have
questions regarding these comments or wish to discuss the development of the coordinated federal
position, please contact Howard Hall at 919-856-4520, ext. 27 or by e-mail at <
[e-mail] >. Please provide this office with a copy of the coordinated federal position,
if one is developed.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project site is located at 8 Cedar Island, adjacent to the AIWW/Masonboro Sound located in the City of
Wilmington, New Hanover County. To locate the property from Oleander Dr. (NC Highwayl7), turn onto
Greenville Loop Road and travel approximately 0.8 miles. Turn left onto Old Military Road and travel
approximately 0.5 miles east. Turn right at the bend and continue to travel south until the road terminates into the
property. The property consists of approximately 2.65 acres. The applicant maintains a private residence at this
site. The average elevation of the property is approximately 3-12 feet above mean high water. The highground is
landscaped with shrubs and maintained as a lawn. In addition, there are some woody species, which includes Pine
and Oak trees. An approximately 922 linear foot wooden bulkhead stabilizes the shoreline. There is an existing
boat basin, boathouse with boatlift and floating dock located on the western corner of the property, which abuts the
upper end of the Cedar Island basin/canal. There is a border of coastal wetlands approximately 16-20 feet in width
along the eastern side of the property, which faces the access channel from Cedar Island Basin to the AIWW.
These coastal wetlands are vegetated primarily with Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) and Salt Meadow
Grass (Spartina patens). Other wetland vegetation landward of the bulkhead includes Sea Oxeye (Borrichia
frutescens).
The 'ilmington/New Hanover County Land Use Plan classifies the adjacent waters as Conservation, and the
adjacent high ground portion of the project area as Resource Protection. The waters of the AIWW and Masonboro
Sound are classified SA-ORW by the Division of Water Quality. They are designated as a Primary Nursery Area
(PNA) by the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries and they are CLOSED to the harvest of shellfish.
PRO 'OSED PROJECT:
The r±)plicant proposes to construct an elevated wooden boatramp from an existing bulkhead into an access
channel to the AIWW and Masonboro Sound. The boatramp would extend from the existing bulkhead with
diin?,nsions of 32' in length by 14' in width over coastal wetlands located at the northeastern end of the property.
Six (6) wooden pilings measuring 8" in diameter would support the boatramp (three on each side). The boatramp
would extend approxinnatcly 32' beyond Normal High Water (NI- W) and approximately 15' beyond the water-ward
edge of the marsh to achieve a water depth of approximate -4' Normal Low Water (NLW). The application states
that the ramp would be constructed with decking boards 5/8 of an inch apart to allow for sunlight and rain to
penetrate through the ramp. The application also states that this location was selected to provide the best balance
between the ability for safe launching and minimizing impacts to Coastal Wetlands and Public Trust Area.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The proposed structure would shade appro,.ir;nately 224 sq. ft. of coastal wetlands and incorporate approximately
210 sq. ft. of Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area. The structure would not encroach into the established
channel to the Cedar Island Basin and the AIWW.

Ai-A Application for Ramp
l'Ah $ ."&- aeIve
A CAMA Permit is being sought to construct a 14' wide x 30-32' long elevated wooden ramp at 8
Cedar Island, Wilmington, NC.
The ramp would be tied to an existing wooden bulkhead and project out over a small area of estuarine
shoreline into the Cedar Island ICWW access creek. The ramp will project out just far enough so that
the end is submerged at mean low tide. The creek is about 100' wide where the ramp is proposed and
t:i_e ramp would project approximately 15' into the channel.
The locrJon selected involves placing the ramp over about 168 square feet of estuarine shoreline. The
,_Mnp will verage about 3.5' above the surface of the shoreline. The estuarine shoreline below the
ramp will continue to receive direct morning and afternoon sun. In addition, the proposed ramp design
has the decking boards 518" apart allowing 100% of the rain and approximately 11 % of the mid-day
sun hitting the ramp to pass though to the grasses below.
The location for the proposed ramp has been selected to provide the best balance between: a)
rrinimizin the estuarine shoreline that would be effected, b) keeping the ramp length and intrusion
JilIM the creek as short as possible and c) keeping the ramp slope shallow enough to insure safety.
