8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to maintenance dredge a section of
the Walnut Island subdivision man-made canal system adjacent to Dowdy Bay that is
experiencing shoaling.
Project Setting
The Walnut Island subdivision is accessed via Walnut Island Blvd (SR#1186), which extends
from Caratoke Hwy (US -158) in Grandy, Currituck County. A man-made canal system
predating CAMA provides water access to the interior Lots. There are two entrances to the
canal system that provide open water access. One entrance is located on the north side of the
subdivision that provides water access to properties north of Walnut Island Blvd and the
second entrance (known as the south entrance) is located adjacent to Dolphin Court and
provides water access to properties south of Walnut Island Blvd. Since the creation of the canal
system, no maintenance dredging has taken place.
The project is located at the south entrance within the waters of the canal system adjacent to
158 Dolphin Court (off of SR#1186), Lot #'s 27 & 28, adjacent to Dowdy Bay. 158 Dolphin
Court is ±5,800 ft2 in size (0.13 acres) and has an elevation between 1' to 2' above NWL.
According to the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service's Web Soil Survey, the soil
on the property is made up of Newhan fine sand (NeC) and is vegetated entirely of yard
grasses. Existing man-made features on the property include a fifth wheel camper, a ±150'
bulkheaded shoreline and a boat ramp.
On the north side of the canal, the adjacent property to the east has a bulkheaded shoreline
and a fifth wheel camper. The adjacent property to the west has a single-family dwelling,
bulkheaded shoreline, dock and boathouse. The property on the south side of the canal is a
vegetated coastal wetland. Based on available information, there appears to be no
archaeological sites on this property or nearby.
The waters of the Dowdy Bay in this area are classified as SC and are closed to shellfish
taking. Water depths within the project site range from ±2' to ±4' below NWL with an average
depth of ±2.75'. The bottom substrate is made up mostly of sand and some detritus
(unconsolidated muck). A Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) survey was conducted at the
site and findings revealed high SAV percentages (80-100%) adjacent to and within the
entrance to the canal system. Widgeon grass (Ruppia maritima), redhead grass (Potamogeton
perfoliatus) and wild celery (Vallisneria americana) were the species encountered, with widgeon
grass being the dominant SAV observed. SAV was not observed inside the canal system. The
width of the canal at the project site is 2:62'.
Development Proposal
Due to shoaling, the applicant proposes to mechanically dredge a section of canal adjacent to
158 Dolphin Court. The proposed dredge area measures ±98'x44' (±4,312 ft2) and will be
dredged from the existing average depth of ±2.75' to a depth of 4' below NWL, matching the
connective depth on each side of the shoal. Approximately 168 cubic yards of material below
NWL will be dredged (AutoCAD calculations based on actual surveyed water depths).
The proposed dredging of the canal shoal will remove ±3,723 ft2 of rooted shallow bottom SAV.

Walnut Island POA c/o Phil Hanna
Field Investigation Report
Page 3
Dredging operations will occur from 158 Dolphin Court where logging matts will be placed to
limit land disturbance and support the use of a long reach excavator. Spoils will be loaded into
a sealed dump truck and transported ±0.8 miles to the POA's highground clubhouse property at
109 Faris Drive where it will be placed into a ±1,300 ft2 silt fence containment area to be stored
until dry. The spoil disposal area is ±500' from the nearest canal.
Anticipated Impacts
• The proposed dredging within the canal will result in ±4,312 ft2 of shallow water bottom
disturbance within the PTA and EW AFC's. Approximately 168 cubic yards of sandy bottom
material will be removed.
• The proposed dredging of the canal shoal will remove ±3,723 ft2 of rooted shallow bottom
SAV.
• It is anticipated that the ±1,300 ft2 spoil disposal area will be large enough to accommodate
all dredge spoils. The estimated 168 cubic yards of spoils will fill the area to a height of ±3.5'.
• The proposed dredging will temporarily increase turbidity.

Walnut Island Subdivision
CAMA Major Permit
Project Narrative
The Walnut Island Subdivision is located off HWY 158/168 in Grandy, Currituck County, NC.
The subdivision is managed by the Walnut Island POA. An historic inner canal system, that pre-
dates the CAMA, is present within the subdivision. Most all lots along these canals are
bulkheaded and some have docking facilities. The canal system is connected to the Currituck
Sound. Navigation of these canals has become difficult over the years, as no maintenance
dredging has taken place. These canals are used by both commercial fisherman and crabbers,
as well as recreational boaters and fishermen. The Southern Canal entrance has experienced
excessive shoaling that has narrowed the channel to one small area close to the bulkheading
along the shore. Prevailing NE winds in the winter months causes very low water levels and
leaves this entrance unnavigable to some boats. The POA proposed to dredge a 98 linear feet
long by 44 feet wide area at the entrance to the canals to a depth of -4.0 ft (NWL) to reach
connecting water depths of both the canal and adjacent waters of the Currituck Sound. SAV is
present within the proposed maintenance dredge area (See attached SAV Report for SAV
findings and conclusions). A total of 163 cubic yards are proposed to be removed. Material will
be removed using a long reach.excavator from land at 158 Dolphin Court. Logging matts will be
utilized to minimize disturbance of the lot by the equipment. Spoil will then be loaded into a
sealed dump truck and hauled across the subdivision to the POA's clubhouse property where it
will be placed into silt fence containment to be stored as the material dries.

SAV Survey
Walnut Island, Grandy, Currituck County, IVC
June 13, 2018
I. Introduction
The purpose of this report is for Quible & Associates, P.C. (Quible) to provide state and
federal regulatory agencies with a review of a Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV)
study conducted in the Currituck Sound and adjacent canals within the Walnut Island
Subdivision (Study Area) located in Currituck County. The Physical Property (Site) is
located on the East side of US 158 in the Walnut Island Subdivision located in Grandy,
North Carolina (Exhibit A Relevant portion of USGS Topographic Quadrangle-
Jarvisburg).
The Study Area shown on the attached Exhibit B, includes two entrances into the Walnut
Island Subdivision canal system located on the Currituck Sound. The May 21st, SAV
survey was conducted to examine the substrate of shallow waters at the mouth of the
two entrances and the immediate canal system for the presence or absence of SAV, and
to document the conditions that may relate to SAV habitat. The SAV survey was
conducted during the growing season as required by resource management agencies.
Generally, low salinity SAV found in this area of the Currituck Sound prefers low energy
shallow water areas where significant photic penetration through the water column to the
substrate persists. These species generally go dormant in the winter months as water
temperatures decrease and foliage dissipates.
II. Methodoloay
The accompanying base map (Exhibit B) includes 2016 aerial photography provided by
Currituck County with the study area and measured water depths identified. Water
depth surveying was conducted throughout the Site on May 21 st, 2017. Depths were
collected by a survey crew from Quible using survey -grade GPS equipment coupled to a
Seafloor Systems Single Beam Echo -Sounder. A bathymetric map (Exhibit A) was
generated using the data gathered to illustrate existing water depths.
SAV surveying consisted of a cursory analysis of SAV throughout the Site followed by a
detailed survey by establishing a series of transects to fully understand the extent and
coverage of SAV. At each station, water depths, substrate types, and SAV species
identification was performed and recorded. An outboard powered skiff was used to
assist with water depth collection and as a base for the diver/swimmer to access the
Study Area. At each sampling station, a 1.0 -meter x 1.0 -meter PVC quadrat (with holes
so that it would sink) was haphazardly tossed' into the water. This was done in
duplicate at each sampling station to estimate total cover and species of SAV throughout
the Study Area (if any SAV was identified). Sampling was performed using a snorkel
and mask in multiple free dives, while the other workers collected field data, navigated
the boat, and viewed and analyzed bottom samples periodically. Roles were switched to
avoid acute fatigue.
The following methodology and information was collected (in general) at each sampling
location.
• An estimate of aerial coverage for all species combined within a square meter
quadrat (rounded to the nearest five percent); this method of estimating aerial
coverage is somewhat standardized and is in use by many SAV investigators.
' Haphazardly tossed is a term used to indicate that the quadrat was not systematically placed in
r=atwas observed prior to the quadrat lying on the substrate.

A depth measurement at each sample station, using survey grade GPS
III. Findings and Observations
On May 21", the winds were moderate (+/- 10-12 mph) and wind tide and precipitation
rates resulted in above Normal Water Level (NWL) conditions. This was evident from the
adjacent coastal wetlands and water marks on bulkheads along the canals.
SAV was found within the entrances to the canal systems in high percentages (80% to
100%). Ruppia maritima (Widgeon Grass), Potamogeton perfoliatus (Redhead Grass),
and Vallisneria americana (Wild Celery) were the species encountered with R. maritima
being the dominant SAV observed. Substrate was predominantly sandy within areas of
rooted SAV and in water depths of two to three and a half feet. Some SAV was found to
occur in sandy substrate to depths up to four feet. Exhibit B identifies the areas observed
rooted SAV on the date of our survey.
SAV is mostly present in the adjacent open waters of the Currituck Sound and in the
shoaled in areas at the canal entrances. Once inside the canals, SAV is no longer
present once the substrate changes from sand to unconsolidated muck. No rooted SAV
was encountered within the muck bottom of the inner canal system and as shown on the
attached Exhibit B.
IV. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The findings of this study indicate that the inner canals (to the extent surveyed) of the
Walnut Island subdivision do not support SAV on the date of the survey. Unconsolidated
muck bottom and low visibility are the likeliest natural causes of no SAV presence. The
entrance areas to the canals with sand dominated bottoms and waters depths of two feet
to four feet support very dense SAV beds extending out into the Currituck Sound, which
has been noted to be typical of this region of the Currituck Sound.
A representative of the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management reviewed the
Study Area with Quible on May 22, 2018 to confirm our findings and discuss permitting
options for dredging the shoaled portions of the canals at Walnut Island. Based on the
meeting the DCM Representative, we can expect that interior portions of the man-made
canals may be dredged with the appropriate permits (please note that DCM is one of
several agencies that review these requests and while they gave verbal agreement other
agencies will have a chance to comment). However, DCM will not support any new
dredging in the open waters of the Currituck Sound. In addition, DCM prefers that we
limit any dredge proposal to one of the canal entrances.
Quible recommends that this report be submitted to the Division of Coastal Management
as part of a Scoping Meeting Request. A Scoping Meeting will be required to discuss
with all permitting and resource agencies a plan to perform maintenance dredging within
the canal system in Walnut Island.
