MEMORANDUM

SUBJECT:
John Parker "
Bill Mills
Application for CAMA Permit
Dolphin Bay Homeowners Association
New Hanover County
George T. Everett, Ph.D.
Director
The Subject application has been reviewed for water quality
impacts and the following comments are offered:
a) Since this project was constructed beyond the permit
authorized size and the pilings associated with the docks are
trapping sand, it is recommended that the permit requested to
dredge around the docks be denied. Our understanding from Marine
Fisheries is that the sand in this area is preventing this area
from functioning as a primary nursery area.
b) It is further recommended that the docks be removed to
the permitted length.

Project Description: The applicant proposes new dredging around
existing 96 slip dock system. The existing pier was permitted
under CAMA Minor Permit x#81-45 in 1981. This Permit stated that
no dredging could take place. The pier was constructed 154'
longer than it was permitted for. In 1989 the Dolphin Bay
Homeowners Association applied for a CAMA Major Permit to allow
the dock to be moved 70' landward, construction of a breakwater
and dredging around new docks in a PNA. This Permit was denied.
Fritz Rohde of Marine Fisheries stated that the areas adjacent to
the existing docks are functioning as primary nursery areas,
however because the pilings associated with the docks are
trapping sand, the area proposed for dredging now is not a
functioning primary nursery area.

9. Project Description:
This project is located adjacent to the AIWW (Myrtle Grove Sound)
just south of Carolina Beach Inlet, at the Dolphin Bay Marina on
US 421 in New Hanover County. The 50 acre tract of land is
presently a residential community, consisting of individual lots
1/3 to 1/2 acre in size. The average elevation of the tract,
according to the applicant is +6-8' MSL.
There is an existing pier, approximately 458' long, to a fixed
dock system. There are currently 96 slips along this dock. The
dock extends north and south o.f the pier and a gazebo, with the
northern wing angling slightly-eastward. This watermost point or
the project is 125' from the near edge of the federally
maintained channel. The pier and docks were permitted under CAMA
minor permit # 81-45 in 1981, by New Hanover County. This permit
allowed for a pier, 304' in length, to a perpendicular dock
system, 520 in length, consisting of 65 slips. A modification
was permitted in 1982 to add 380' of docks. It was stated in the
original permit and on the modification that no dredging could
take place. There is no documentation explaining the discrepancy
of 154' between the permitted pier and that actually constructed.
The length of the current dock system exceeds the 1/3 rule by an
average of 2081:
The waters of the AIWW at this point in Myrtle Grove Sound are
classified SA by Division of Environmental Management. The area
is designated a primary nursery area by the Division of Marine
Fisheries, and is closed to shellfishing. The body of. water
averages approximately 8801.across at the project site, with
narrowest point being approximately 750' across. This area is
classified conservation by New Hanover County.
The applicant is proposing new dredging around the docks,.for an
area 88' x 584' or 511392 square feet. The dredging is proposed
to -6' MLW. This would remove approximately 3,400 cubic yards of
bottom material.
The applicant requested proof from the Division of Marine
Fisheries that the area is actually serving in the capacity of a
primary nursery area. Fritz Rohde of the Division of Marine
Fisheries did visit the site, and through his sampling determined
that the area is indeed an active primary nursery area. The
results are enclosed. There is no marsh vegetation in the area
proposed for dredging. The dredging is to be accomplished by the
use of hydraulic dredge and piped to the spoil disposal area.
The spoil is to be placed on the southside of an existing US Army
corps spoil island adjacent to the Carolina Beach Inlet. This
area has been approved for use by Barry Holiday, Chief of the
Navigation Branch with the US Army Corps of Engineers (letter on
file).

9. Project Description: (CONTINUED)
A dike is to be constructed to contain the fill. The base of the
dike is proposed at 8' wide, with a top width of 41. The
structure is proposed to be a minimum of 8' in height. There
will be an effluent control structure to allow for settling of
suspended solids and return of water through the effluent pipe to
the MLW line of the AIWW. The size of the spoil area will be
approximately 80,000 square feet.
The intended use of this project is to serve the residential
community of Dolphin Bay.
10. Potential Impacts:
There will be a loss of 3,400 cubic yards (or 51,392 square feet)
of productive bottom material from a primary nursery area. This
material will fill an area approximately 80,000 square feet of
current spoil material.
