Dear Mr. Schecter:
The Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers, requests your
concurrence/nonconcurrence on an after-the-fact consistency
determination for the construction of a dock and placement of
dolphins in Snows Cut, New Hanover County, North Carolina.
The Corps of Engineers leases this property to the North
Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission for use as a boat launching
area. The Wilmington District, Construction Operations Division,
Plant Section, coordinated the construction of the project with
the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NWCRC) by letter
dated November 25, 1991, and received a response from the NCWRC
on February 6, 1992 (copies enclosed). However, no formal review
of the work was performed in accordance with the North Carolina
Coastal Management Program.
The project was required to provide berthing and refueling of
Corps' vessels during dredging at Carolina Beach Inlet. There are
no other near refueling areas available. The work required the
construction of two seven-pile dolphin clusters and construction
of a dock, as described in the enclosed drawings. The work was
performed by the Corps' vessel SNELL and was completed in late
February 1992. The project did not require placement of fill
material or dredging of sediment nor did it involve impact to
wetlands. The work has been discussed, after construction, with
Mr. Bob Stroud, North Carolina Division of Coastal Management,
Wilmington Field Office, by telephone on March 17, 1992.

-2-
We have determined that the proposed work is consistent with
the North Carolina Coastal Management Program and request your
consistency concurrence/nonconcurrence for the proposed action.
If you have any questions regarding the project, please contact
Mrs. Trudy Wilder of the Environmental Resources Branch at
[phone].

IN REPLY REFER TO

Mr. Charles Fullwood
Executive Director
Wildlife Commission
512 North Salisbury Street
Raleigh, North Carolina 27604-1188
Dear Mr. Fullwood:
Reference the telephone conversation between Mr. Bob Tobaben and Mr. Jack
Russ on November 21, 1991.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has in the past had refueling privileges
at the N.C. Wildlife Ramp at Snows Cut, Carolina Beach, North Carolina.
However, since ballast has been placed along the bulkhead to prevent erosion,
our vessel cannot utilize the ramp area for refueling.
The Wilmington District requests permission to install two dolphin
clusters of seven pilings each and a dock at the N.C. Wildlife Ramp. This
would provide berthing and refueling of our vessel during dredging at Carolina
Beach Inlet. As it now stands, the vessel has to run to the Bridge Tender at
Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, to take on fuel. This run consists of 1
to 2 hours each way. In addition to taking on the fuel, the vessel is away
from the dredging site approximately 5 or 6 hours.
Our plan is to install dolphin clusters approximately 30 feet from the
bulkhead into deeper water (6 feet). A dock will be built and an electrical
distribution cable will be installed to provide shore power. The facility
will be marked appropriately with U.S. Army Corps signs indicating Government
Property to prevent any misunderstanding by the boating public. The
Wilmington District will be responsible for this facility.

'a T -2-
We will arrange an "on-the-site tour" if you desire and will discuss this
request with you and any members of your staff at your convenience. At the
same time, the Wilmington District will answer any questions you may have
regarding this request.
Sincerely

Dear Mr. Sattin:

This letter will authorize the Corps of Engineers to construct and maintain
two dolphin clusters of seven pilings each and a dock to be used for refueling Corps
vessels at the Wildlife Resources Commission's Snow's Cut Boating Access Area in
New Hanover County. The location of these structures will be at sites determined
during our visit in mid-January 1992. The pilings and docks will be properly marked
with signs indicating no trespassing and that the facility is for government use only.
If problems develop with unauthorized uses of this site, the Corps may be required
to secure the area with proper fencing and gating of the facility.
We look forward to working with you on this project. Please call if you have
any questions or need additional information.
Sincerely,
DJT/gw
