4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The North Carolina Department of Transportation Ferry Division is applying for a major modification to CAMA Major permit #44-96 to eMend the permitted portion of the ebsting ferry
channel located at the Cedar Island Ferry Terminal, in Cedar Island, North Carolina.
The current channel length is 900' and e�Qends straight out past the breakwater by 200'. A shoal has developed in the unpermitted portion of the ewsting channel and has created
unsafe traveling conditions for the vessels and the traveling public. Northerly wind conditions cause the Captains to come out of the basin and be side-to forcing the ferry to roll wfiich in
turn creates unsafe conditions for the traveling public, state employees, and the vessels. Permitting this section of channel will allowfor the Ferry Division to perform dredge
maintenance activities ensuring the channel is clear for safe passage.
The NCDOT Locations and Surveys Unit has performed surveys of this area and they have provided a map depicting the proposed dredging of the previously unpermitted portion of the
channel. The previously unpermitted channel eMends approximately 590 feet further than the current permitted channel. NCDOT will need to perform dredging in this area to the
permitted depth of 12' MLLW when conditions are too shallowfor safe passage of vessels. M estimated 22,450 cubic yards of material will be removed from the Cedar Island channel
and basin area during the upcoming dredging event.
All dredging activities will be performed by the NCDOT Ferry Division — Marine Maintenance Unit. The State owned 12" pipeline dredge Manteo will be used for this wnrk along with a
support fleet consisting of tugs and barges to move material, equipment, fuel, and �nrorkers around the �nrork site. Material removed during this dredge project will be pumped to a leased
spoil site that is located on a nearby property. A map of the spoil site is attached to this request.
4j. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project.
