8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The proposed project is maintenance dredging of
three channels in Atlantic Beach, Bogue Sound, Carteret County.

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT - TOWN OF ATLANTIC BEACH,
CARTERET COUNTY
PAGE #2
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The proposed project is the
maintenance of three (3) existing man-made channels in Bogue
Sound, Atlantic Beach, Carteret County. Two (2) channels
'A' and 'B' are west of the Atlantic Beach-Morehead City
high-rise bridge. The third channel 'C' is east of the
Atlantic Beach-Morehead City bridge. Water depths in the
project area range from 01-10' MLW. Extensive shoaling has
occurred in much of the project area.
Channel 'A' is approximately 1700' x 50' and serves several
man-made canals and "The Pond" in western Atlantic Beach.
This channel was dug prior to permit requirements and the
spoils were used to "make land" by filling marsh. Channel
'B' provides access to many private homes and the Crow's
Nest Marina. This channel 'B' was previously maintained
under State Dredge and Fill Permit 0740, issued in 1972.
The maintenance in 1972 was for an approximately 1500' x 75'
x -6' MLW channel and this permit application is for the
dredging of a 2100' x 50' x -8' MSL Channel 'B'.
Channel 'C' (Causeway channel), which is on the eastern side
of the bridge, is part of a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Federal Project which also includes Money Island Channel
(not a part of this application). An environmental
assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact was recently
released (see attached) and circulated on the Causeway
Channel 'C' and Money Island Channel.
The proposed maintenance of Channel 'C' is for approximately
1600' x 50' x -8' MSL.
Approximately 30,000 cu. yds. of material from a total of
5400' x 50' of channel will be hydraulically dredged and
pumped to Brandt Island which is the current diked spoil
disposal area for the North Carolina State Ports Authority.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The proposed dredging will remove
approximately 30,000 cu. yds. of material from 270,000 sq.
ft. of previously dredged, shallow estuarine bottom in Bogue
Sound.,
The waters of Bogue Sound are open to shellfishing by the
Division of Health Services and the Division of Marine
Fisheries, and are classified 'SA' by the Division of
Environmental Management. Part of the Causeway Channel is
closed to shellfishing.

The spoil disposal will disturb approximately 1000' x 1000'
in the existing spoil area.
At this time, there are not any known seagrass beds within
the project area.
