Dear Mr. Comer:
This letter is in response to your request for a permit under the Coastal
Area Management Act and State Dredge and Fill Law to excavate an access
channel in Goose Creek adjacent to Goose Creek Resort Properties near the
community of Bogue in Carteret County, N. C. Processing of your application,
which was accepted as complete on December 27, 1988, and for which
notification of extended review was given on March 17, 1989, is now complete.
Based on the foregoing review, including onsite investigation by
representatives of State and Federal agencies, the Division of Coastal
Management has made the following findings:
(1) Excavation of the access channel would result in the loss 8000
approximately 6000 square feet of seagrass/seagrass habitat area,
square feet of intertidal habitat area and 148,000 square feet of shallow
to semi-shallow bottom area of Goose Creek;
(2) Seagrass meadows are a source of detritus that is an important component
of the aquatic food chain and provide nursery habitat for a variety of
commercially and recreationally important species of fish and shellfish.
For example, the commercially important bay scallop is dependent upon
seagrass beds to complete its life cycle. Furthermore, a minimum of 22
fish species including spot, spotted sea trout, mullet, bluefish, ar-d
flounder use seagrass beds as nursery habitat. Beds of aquatic
vegetation are also important feeding areas for migratory waterfowl.
Shallow unvegetated intertidal and subtidal areas provide habitat for a
variety of benthic invertebrates that are important components in the
aquatic food chain and provide a refuge from predators for juvenile fish.

The central subtidal portion of the creek is shallow (3-4 ft. mean low
water) with a soft mud bottom that would be easily resuspended by boat
wakes. An increase in the size and frequency of boats using the proposed
channel will increase turbidity causing indirect adverse impacts on
nearby seagrass beds, shellfish habitat and primary nursery areas;
(3) Sampling by the Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) indicated significant
shellfish resources in the examined area. In addition, Goose Creek
represents one of the few mainland tributaries of Bogue Sound unaltered
by major dredge and fill activity and is an extremely productive
shellfish area. The DMF observed individuals hand raking or bull raking
in the area of concern on every site visit made during the course of
their investigation;
(4) Goose Creek is of sufficient depth for most boat traffic. Alternative
access to Bogue Sound for larger boats is available offsite; and,
(5) The project, as proposed, has been determined to be inconsistent with the
following rules of the Coastal Resources Commission:
(a) 15 NCAC 7H.0206(c), which establishes, as the highest priority, the
management and conservation of the important features of estuarine
waters so as to safeguard and perpetuate their biological values;
(b) 15 NCAC 7H.0208(a)(2)(A & B), which requires that the applicant's
development be consistent with the management objectives of the
estuarine system AECs and that the applicant has selected a
combination of sites and designs that will have a minimum adverse
impact upon the productivity and biological integrity of coastal
marshlands, shellfish beds, submerged grass beds, spawning and
nursery areas, important nesting and wintering sites for waterfowl
and wildlife, and important natural erosion barriers;
(c) 15 NCAC 7H.0208(b)(1), which states that navigation channels, canals
and boat basins must be aligned or located so as to avoid primary
nursery areas, highly productive shellfish beds, beds of submerged
vegetation, or significant areas of regularly or irregularly flooded
coastal wetlands.
Given the foregoing findings, it is necessary that your request for a
permit under the Coastal Area Management Act and the State Dredge and Fill Law
be denied. This denial is made under: N.C.G.S. 113-229(e)(5), which provides
for a permit denial upon finding a significant adverse impact on estuarine
resources, N.C.G.S. 113A-120(2), which requires permit denial when the project
is found to be inconsistent with the State Dredge and Fill Law, and N.C.G.S.
113A-120(8), which requires denial of projects inconsistent with the State
Guidelines for Areas of Environmental Concern or local land use plans.

Mr. Wayne D. Comer

If you wish to appeal this denial, you are entitled to a hearing. The
hearing will involve appearing before an Administrative Law Judge who listens
to the evidence and arguments of both parties and then makes a recommendation
to the Coastal Resources Commission. Your request for a hearing must be in
the form of a written petition, complying with the requirements of Chapter
150B of the General Statutes of North Carolina, and must be filed with the
Office of Administrative Hearings, P. 0. Drawer 11666, Raleigh, N. C. 27604
[phone] within 28 days of this decision on your permit application. A
copy of the petition should be filed with this office.
Also, you should be advised that as long as this state permit denial
stands, your project must be deemed inconsistent with the N. C. Coastal
Management program, thereby precluding issuance of Federal permits for this
project. The Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (CZMA) gives the
right to appeal this finding to the U. S. Secretary of Commerce, within 30
days of receipt of this letter. Your appeal must be based on the grounds that
the proposed activity is (1) consistent with the objectives or purposes of the
CZMA, or (2) is necessary in the interest of national security, and thus, may
be federally approved.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact Mr. John
Parker at 919/733-2293, P. 0. Box 27687, Raleigh, NC 27611.

imately 4,100' long access channel from the AIWW, in Bogue Sound,_
through Goose Creek, to service an existing mobile home park and
campground facility.

PROPERTIES, CARTERET COUNTY
PAGE #2
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The applicant currently owns an
approximately 90 ac. tract of land which is located adjacent
to NCSR 1119, and the eastern shoreline of Goose Creek, near
the community of Bogue, Carteret County. Located on this
property is an existing 250 space mobile home park and a
campground facility which has approximately 199 spaces.
Potable water is obtained from a community well system and
sewage is handled by individual septic tanks.
State Permit #49-85 authorized the excavation of an upland
boat basin and access channel (to a depth of -4' MLW) into
Goose Creek to service this existing facility. Also
permitted was a pier extending into Goose Creek (which is
directly adjacent to the access channel) and stabilization
of the shoreline of Goose Creek and the basin by
bulkheading. Activity authorized by this permit has been
completed, except for the bulkheading which is approximately
40% complete.
Goose Creek is a tidal tributary of Bogue Sound. The creek
area immediately upstream of the applicant's pier has been
designated by the N.C. Marine Fisheries Commission as a
Primary Nursery Area, is classified as 'SR' waters, and is
clas_Qd_to the harvesting of shellfish. -The N.C. Division of
Marine Fisheries has conducted extensive finfish and
shellfish surveys on the upper half of Goose Creek and has
found that it is a functional Primary Nursery Area and has
substantial shellfish resources. DMF has also indicated
that similar bottom and habitat value may exist in the
downstream portions of Goose Creek. Scattered amounts of
seagrass beds and oysters are found along the eastern side
of Goose Creek and are adjacent to the applicant's shoreline
property. Existing water depths in Goose Creek vary, but
generally do not exceed -4' MLW deep. Goose Creek has not
been nominated as an Outstanding Resource Area, but the area
of Bogue Sound in front of Goose Creek has.
The applicant is now requesting a permit which would
authorize the excavation of an additional access channel to
service the existing mobile home park and campground
facility. Plans included with the application show that an
approximately 4100' long x 40' wide x -6' MLW deep access
channel is proposed to begin at the edge of the AIWW in
Bogue Sound and terminate within the existing man-made
basin. The proposed channel would run along the shoreline
and parallel to the previously permitted bulkhead for a
distance of approximately 400' (which would impact an
approximately 400' long x 20' wide area of intertidal

PROPERTIES, CARTERET COUNTY
PAGE #2
habitat). From there, the channel will run perpendicular
into Goose Creek for a distance of approximately 4001, and
then in a southerly direction to the AIWW.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The project, as proposed, will result
in the excavation of an approximately 8,000 sq. ft. of
intertidal habitat, and an approximately 148,000 sq. ft. of
semi-shallow to shallow water habitat area. Approximately
18,000 cu. yds. of primarily sand, with some subtidal mud
material, will be excavated by hydraulic dredge and pumped
to an approximately 180,000 sq. ft. highground diked
disposal area. Representatives of the National Marine
Fisheries Service has reviewed historical aerial photos of
this area and have determined that there will be a direct
impact to an approximately 150' long x 40' wide area of
seagrass/seagrass habitat area. The remaining portion of
the access channel appears to avoid any seagrass habitat,
but a detailed survey will be forthcoming. Additionally,
Division of Marine Fisheries personnel will be conducting
shellfish surveys of this area to evaluate potential
impacts. There will, however, be a direct loss of scattered
oysters in the area where the channel is proposed to be,
adjacent to the shoreline. The depth of the channel (-6'
MLW deep) will also allow boats of greater size and drafts
to use the area. Indirect impacts may also include
turbidity impacts on adjacent seagrass and shellfish areas
and an increase in general boater use of the area.
The applicant has indicated that this project is desirable
in order to provide adequate boating access during all
weather conditions and to provide a suitable channel area
for recreational fishing activities from adjacent highground
areas.

Subject: Proposed Wetland Fill
Project No. 8901-D
Olde Point Subdivision
Pender County
Dear Mr. Doherty:
The Wilmington Regional Office received your CAMA application
on January 4, 1989. A preliminary review indicates that a 401
Water Quality Certification will be required from our division due
to the proposed wetland fill. A 401 certification is required
prior to issuance of a CAMA or 404 permit.
Because of the many essential functions wetlands provide, including
purification of surface and groundwater, any loss of wetlands as
the result of filling activities is viewed by this office as
degradation of water quality, and potentially, a loss of these
essential functions wetlands provide.
Your project, as proposed, will result in the loss of wetland
areas. As a result, this office is requesting the following
additional information be submitted within 30 days upon receipt of
this letter: an alternate proposal that will eliminate or reduce
the proposed fill in wetland areas; or submit an explanation of why
such reductions are not possible and what mitigating factors we
should consider to insure no net loss?o?. wetlands within the
project area. --

Until this office receives your response, your proposal for a 401
Certification will be considered incomplete.
Should you have any questions concerning this matter, please
contact Jim Gregson, Donald Safrit or me at [phone].
