8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The proposed project is maintenance dredging of
a 600' channel on the west side of the high-rise bridge in
Atlantic Beach, Carteret County.
FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT - TOWN OF ATLANTIC BEACH,
CARTERET COUNTY
PAGE #2 9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: This application is for a proposed
modification to CAMA Major Permit #142-89 which was issued
to the Town of Atlantic Beach, on July 7, 1989. Permit
#142-89 was issued for the maintenance dredging of three (3)
existing man-made channels in Bogue Sound.
This new permit application is for the dredging of a 600' x
50' x -7.5 MSL channel. This channel is located just west
of the Atlantic Beach-Morehead City high-rise bridge on the
Atlantic Beach side.
The natural channel is currently marked with PVC markers.
The channel is an access channel to a man-made canal which
runs parallel to the Atlantic Beach causeway. The Town of
Atlantic Beach has a public boat launching ramp on the upper
end of the man-made canal. The natural channel has recently
silted in partially from bridge construction and also
natural sand migration. Existing water depths in the
channel are -2' to -3' MLW. The Town of Atlantic Beach
recently began the maintenance dredging of the previously
permitted project,and they desire to maintain this channel
while the dredge is in the vicinity. By utilizing the
hydraulic dredge currently onsite, the Town will save
substantial amounts of money.
The proposed spoil area for the project is the State
Port/USACOE spoil site at Brandt Island.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The proposed project is the excavation
of a 600' x 50' x -7.5' MSL channel in Bogue Sound. The
project will disturb approximately 30,000 sq. ft. of shallow
estuarine bottom, and approximately 5,000-cu. yds. of sand
material will be pumped to a highground spoil disposal area.
The waters of Bogue Sound are open to shellfishing by the
Division of Health Services and the Division of Marine
Fisheries, and classified as 'SA' by the Division of
Environmental Management. Due to the sandy bottom, constant
sand migration and high volume of boat traffic, it appears
that there is little or no shellfish resource and no
submerged grass beds in the project area.

1. Project consists of maintenance dredging of an existing manmade
channel in Bogue Sound, Atlantic Beach, North Carolina. The
channel is located on the west side of the Atlantic Beach-
Morehead City Bridge and is designated as Channel B-1 on this
drawing. The portion of the channel (B--1) proposed to be dredged
is approximately 600' x 50, and serves the public boat landing and
canal located behind Gull Isle Realty. Channels "A" and "B" are
scheduled for dredging in February March, 1990 and were approved
under Permit Number 142-89.
2. Survey data indicated is from Collier survey company dated
12-1-1988. The actual quantity of dredged material will be
determined by additional field surveys immediately prior to and
following dredging. An allowance is provided in the Bid Schedule
for the field surveys.
3. All dredged materials will be pumped to Brandt Island for
disposal. Brandt Island is an existing diked spoil disposal area
which serves the N. C. State Ports Authority. The use of Brandt
Island shall be coordinated with Mr. Barry W. Holliday, U. S. Army
Corps of Engineers, P. O. Box 1890, Wilmington, NC 28402-1890,
Telephone [phone]. The project contractor must coyly with
all Corps requirements relating to use of Brandt Island including
final spoil grading.
4. Excavation shall not exceed -7.5 feet MSL.
5. No vegetated wetlands will be excavated or filled.
6. The temporary placement or double-handling of excavated or fill
materials within waters or vegetated wetlands shall not be
allowed.
7. The project shall be conducted in such a manner as to prevent
significant increases in turbidity outside the area of
construction or construction-related discharge.

NOTICE OF FILING OF o
APPLICATION FOR CAMA MAJOR DEVELOPMENT
PERMIT AND WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION
The Department of Environment, Health and Natural Res a? s"
hereby gives public notice as required by NCGS 113A-119(b) and
143-215 3(a)(1)(c) that the Town of Atlantic Beach of Carteret
County, filed an application on February 14, 1990, for a permit
from the Division of Coastal Management to develop in an Area of
Environmental Concern and for certification from the Division of
Environmental Management that a discharge of fill material in
project wetlands will not violate applicable water quality
standards.
According to said application, the applicant is proposing to
perform maintenance dredging of a 600' channel on the west side
of the high-rise bridge in Atlantic Beach, Carteret County.
A copy of the entire application and additional information
may be examined (or copies furnished upon request and payment of
reproduction costs) during normal business hours at the office of
David Noble, Division of Coastal Management, located in the
Division of Marine Fisheries Building, Morehead City, N.C.,
919/726-7021, and/or the office of Preston Howard, Division of
Environmental Management, DEHNR Regional Field Office,
Wilmington, N.C., 919/256-4161.
The Division of Environmental Management proposes to take
final action on this water quality certification on or before
April 5, 1990. The issuance of the CAMA Major Development permit
and the Section 401 Certification may deviate from this projected
date depending upon the nature of the comments submitted and
subsequent hearings that may result.
All persons desiring to make comments should do so in
writing to Dr. George Everett, Director, Division of Coastal
Management, P.O. Box 27687, Raleigh, N.C., 27611, prior to
March 31, 1990 for consideration in the CAMA permit decision, and
to Mr. Bill Mills, Division of Environmental Management, P.O. Box
27687, Raleigh, N.C., 27611, prior to March 26, 1990 for
consideration in the water quality certification decision. Later
comments on the CAMA application will be accepted and considered
up to the time of permit decision. Project modifications may
occur based on review and comment by the public and state and
federal agencies. Notice of the permit decision in this matter
will be provided upon request.
