MAINTENANCE DREDGING
MOREHEAD CITY HARBOR, N.C.
OCEAN BAR
(Carteret County)
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
The Wilmington District Corps of Engineers, Wilmington, North Carolina,
proposes to perform MAINTENANCE DREDGING in Morehead City Harbor between
mile 1.75 inside the harbor entrance and mile 2 outside the harbor entrance.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This maintenance work involves the removal of all
material lying above the plane of 44 feet below mean low water (MLW) in
Range A and 44 feet below MLW in the cutoff and in Range B within the
designated limits of the channels as shown on the enclosed sketch 1.
Approximately 500,000 cubic yards of material will be removed by hopper
dredge. The work which is performed annually will begin on or about December
1, 1992 and end no later than March 31, 1993. The dredged material consisting
of predominately sand and shell fragments will be transported for disposal to
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designated (final rule making
September 14, 1987) Morehead City, North Carolina ocean dredged material
disposal site (ODMDS) (sketch 2). The work is required to maintain an
orderly, efficient, and safe flow of traffic from the ocean to the North
Carolina State Ports, public and private facilities, and other navigation
projects.

the Morehead City ODMDS are:
The Morehead City ODMDS is located in ocean waters (contiguous zone)
beyond the three nautical mile limit of the territorial sea. The average
depth of the disposal area is approximately 50 feet. The disposal area is
8 square nautical miles in area. The capacity of the Morehead City ODMDS is
large enough to accommodate the dredged material. Dredged material from the
1992 Morehead City ocean bar maintenance dredging will be placed in the upper
central area of the Morehead City ODMDS.
-2-
` 3 i DO ?
The Morehead City ODMDS has been used for many years for the ocean
disposal of dredged material from the Morehead City Harbor navigation channel.
Each year approximately 500,000 to 1,000,000 cubic yards of dredged material
is dumped in the designated ocean disposal site. Mounding of the dredged
material within the ODMDS has been observed. As a result, future placement of
dredged material within the site will be managed to minimize mounding. No
other significant adverse effects of previous authorized disposal in the
Morehead City ODMDS have been observed.
The Wilmington District will take all necessary actions to ensure that the
materials dredged are appropriately placed within the ODMDS. Those actions
will include designation of the transportation route to the disposal site,
designation of the.specific area within the disposal site to be used for
disposal, and the requirement that the dredge have a navigation recorder on
board to document the disposal locations.
The location of the proposed work is shown on sketches 1 and 2 with this
notice.
There is enclosed a list of Federal, State, and local agencies with whom
this activity is being coordinated.
The effects of the proposed dredging and transportation of dredged
material to the ocean disposal site were addressed with the Final
Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) Morehead City Harbor North Carolina
September 1976. The effects of the disposal of dredged material within the
Morehead City, N.C. ODMDS were addressed in the FEIS Morehead City North
Carolina, Ocean Dredged Material Site Designation, January 1985.
Based on EPA's Ocean Dumping Regulations and Criteria (40 CFR, Parts 220
to 229), the sand and broken shell material to be dredged and ocean dumped is
environmentally acceptable for ocean dumping without further testing, and that
the proposed disposal of dredged material will not cause unacceptable human
health effects or other permanent adverse effects.
No impacts to known archeological/historic resources will occur as a
result of the proposed action.
The dredging has been evaluated for adherence to the requirements of
Executive Order 11988, Flood Plain Management. The proposed dredging will not
induce development in the floodplain. The proposed maintenance dredging will
improve harbor navigability.

The proposed action has been evaluated under Executive Order 11990,
Protection of Wetlands. The work will not require dredging or filling of any
wetlands.
-3-
The proposed maintenance dredging may effect Threatened and Endangered
species. Kemp's ridley, loggerhead, and green sea turtles are potentially at
risk due to accidental-take by hopper dredges. It has also been determined
that migrating right whales are at potential risk from collision by hopper
dredges in transit to and from the ODMDS. Methods have or will be implemented
to minimize impacts on these species. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) have concluded that
the continued operation and maintenance of Morehead City Harbor would not
'jeopardize the continued existence of endangered or threatened species in the
project area.
The proposed action is consistent with the approved Coastal Management
Program of the State of North Carolina. State concurrence with the
consistency determination was received on March 18, 1981, and October 18,
1984, for the Morehead City Harbor maintenance dredging and the Morehead City,
N.C. ODMDS site designation, respectively. As the proposed discharge of
dredged material will take place outside of the 3 nautical mile limit of the
Territorial Sea, the discharge is regulated under the Marine Protection,
Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972, as amended. A Section 401 Water
Quality Certificate under the Clean Water Act of 1977, as amended, is not
required.
The decision whether to perform this work will be based on an evaluation
of the probable impact including cumulative impacts of the proposed activity
on the public interest. That decision will reflect the national concern for
both protection and utilization of important resources. The benefit which
reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced
against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. All factors which may be
relevant to the proposal will be considered, including the aesthetics, general
environmental concerns, wetlands,.historic properties, fish and wildlife
values, flood hazards, flood plain values, land use, navigation, shoreline,
erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water
quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs,
considerations of property ownership, and in general, the needs and welfare of
the people.
The proposed transportation of this dredged material for disposing of it
in ocean waters was evaluated and determined not to unreasonably degrade or
endanger human health, welfare, or amenities or the marine environment,
ecological systems, or economic potentialities. In making this determination,
the criteria established by the Administrator, EPA, pursuant to Section 102(a)
of the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972, as amended,
was applied. In addition, based upon an evaluation of the potential effect
which the failure to utilize this ocean disposal site would have on
navigation, economic, and industrial development, and foreign and domestic
commerce of the United States, an independent determination was made of the
need to dispose of the dredged material in ocean waters, other possible
methods of disposal, and other appropriate locations for the disposal.
i '
-4-
Any person who has an interest which may be affected by the disposal of
this dredged material may request a public hearing. The request must be
submitted in writing to the District Engineer within 15 days of the date of
this notice and must clearly set forth the interest which may be affected and
the manner in which the interest may be affected by this activity. In order
for such a request to be given appropriate consideration, it should be mailed
or delivered to the U.S. Army Engineer District, Post Office Box 1890,
Wilmington, North Carolina 28402-1890, in time to be received on or before
October 26, 1992. All correspondence should refer to the number and date of
this notice.
For additional information concerning this project, contact Mr. James
Wells, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Post Office Box 1890, Wilmington, N.C.

The proposed maintenance dredging may effect Threatened and Endangered
species. Kemp's ridley, loggerhead, and green sea turtles are potentially at
risk due to accidental-take by hopper dredges. It has also been determined
that migrating right whales are at potential risk from collision by hopper
dredges in transit to and from the ODMDS. Methods have or will be implemented
to minimize impacts on these species. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) have concluded that
the continued operation and maintenance of Morehead City Harbor would not
jeopardize the continued existence of endangered or threatened species in the
project area.
The proposed action is consistent with the approved Coastal Management
Program of the State of North Carolina. State concurrence with the
consistency determination was received on March 18, 1981, and October 18,
1984, for the Morehead City Harbor maintenance dredging and the Morehead City,
N.C. ODMDS site designation, respectively. As the proposed discharge of
dredged material will take place outside of the 3 nautical mile limit of the
Territorial Sea, the discharge is regulated under the Marine Protection,
Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972, as amended. A Section 401 Water
Quality Certificate under the Clean Water Act of 1977, as amended, is not
required.
The decision whether to perform this work will be based on an evaluation
of the probable impact including cumulative impacts of the proposed activity
on the public interest. That decision will reflect the national concern for
both protection and utilization of important resources. The benefit which
reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced
against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. All factors which may be
relevant to the proposal will be considered, including the aesthetics, general
environmental concerns, wetlands, historic properties, fish and wildlife
values, flood hazards, flood plain values, land use, navigation, shoreline,
erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water
quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs,
considerations of property ownership, and in general, the needs and welfare of
the people.
The proposed transportation of this dredged material for disposing of it
in ocean waters was evaluated and determined not to unreasonably degrade or
endanger human health, welfare, or amenities or the marine environment,
ecological systems, or economic potentialities. In making this determination,
the criteria established by the Administrator, EPA, pursuant to Section 102(a)
