S. Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington Regulatory Field Office P. O. Box 1890 Wilmington, North Carolina 28402-1890 DENR - WATER QUALITY . WETlANDS AND STORMWATER eRAl,CH Subject: Action ID # 200500900; Town ofSwansboro Carteret County, NC Dear Mr. Wicker: This letter provides the comments of the U, S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) on the subject Public Notice (PN), dated June 3, 2005, The applicant, the Town of Swansboro, has applied for a Department of the Army (DA) permit to construct a pedestrian walkway along the White Oak River. The proposed work is being considered under Regional General Permit # 198000291, a permit/processing agreement for work that has been approved pursuant to the North Carolina Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA). These comments are submitted in accordance with the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (FWCA) (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 66I-667d). Comments related to the FWCA are to be used in your determination of compliance with 404(b)( I) guidelines (40 CFR 230) and in your public interest review (33 CFR 320.4) in relation to the protection of fish and wildlife resources. Additional comments are provided regarding the District Engineer's determination of project impacts pursuant to section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended (16 U,S.C. 1531-1543). Project Area, Proposed Activities, and Anticipated Impacts The project area, proposed work, and anticipated impacts area discussed in the Field Investigation Report (FIR), dated, May 25, 2005, of the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM). The applicant proposes to construct an elevated pedestrian walkway, or dockwalk, along the White Oak River. The area is not a designated Primary Nursery Area (PNA). From a high ground viewing area, the walkway would extend to the river then run parallel to the river, for a total length of 6 15 feet. The walkway would be six feet wide except in one or two areas widened to eight feet for handicap accessible tumout areas, The structure would be 4.75 feet above the marsh "surface", or more precisely the marsh substrate. The proposed structure would shade 330 square feet (ft2) of non-coastal (or 404) wetlands and 2,470 ft2 of high marsh dominated by giant cordgrass (Sparlina cynusuroides), black needlerush (JZIllCUS roemerianus), and cattails (Typha spp.), No dredging or filling of wetlands or estuarine waters is proposed. The FIR states that grading of 4,000 ft2 of uplands could result in sediment runoff into wetlands. However, silt fences have been proposed to prevent such runoff. .. 2 Federally Protected Species The Service has reviewed available infonnation on federally-threatened or endangered species known to occur in Carteret County, We have also reviewed infornlation from the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database which contains excellent data on the special status species, both federal and state. This database can be accessed by topographic quadrangle (quad) of the U. S, Geological Survey (USGS). Data from USGS quads provide the most project-specific infornlation on species which should be considered in pemliUing this project. The project area is located in the Swansboro quad. Occurrence data of special status species within these quads can be obtained on the internet at < h up:/ /www.ncnhp.org/Pages/heritagedata.htI111 >. Our review indicates that no federally listed species under Service jurisdiction are likely to occur in the project area. While dock construction can pose a risk to the West Indian manatee (Tricheclzus manatus), the proposed dock is almost entirely landward of the MHW line. Therefore, the construction area is not suitable for manatee use. I Therefore, the Service would concur with a determination by the District Engineer that the action is not likely to adversely affect species designated as threatened, endangered, or their designated critical habitat. The Corps' requirements of section 7 of the ESA would be fulfilled, However, the Corps must reconsider its obligations under section 7 of the ESA if: (I) new infonnation reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered; (2) this action is subsequently modified in a manner which was not considered in this review; or, (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the identified action. Service Concerns and Recommendations The Service support the purpose of the dockwalk which to provide public access to and views of the White Oak River. The Service is pleased that the structure would be elevated 4,75 feet above the existing substrate. This elevation will reduce the adverse effects of shading on marsh plants, Overall, the Service does not believe the activities described in the PN and FIR would have significant adverse and/or irreversible effects on fish and wildlife resources, Therefore, the Service has no objection, from the standpoint of fish and wildlife under our jurisdiction, to the issuance of a DA permit for the proposed activities. The Service appreciates the opportunity to comment on this PN.

PROJECT SUMMARY: The Town of Swansboro is proposing the construction of a 615' pedestrian walkway along the White Oak River on the east side of the town, A 1 4 'X 12' viewing platform would also be constructed on high ground, The Town plans for this to be phase one of a series of walkways linking this phase to the existing walkway at Bicentennial Park, Field Investigation Report: Town of Swansboro Dockwalk Page 02 9. Narrative Description: The proposed Town of Swansboro dockwalk project is located along Hwy, 24 on the eastern side of Swansboro in Onslow County. The White Oak River borders the site to the east. The site is presently identifiable by an existing innovative pervious parking lot which is just west of the White Oak river bridge, The size of the project area is 0.82 acres and varies from 0' to 20' in elevation above NHW, The high ground is composed of Baymead (Urban land complex) soils and is vegetated with various grasses. Existing on high ground is an innovative stormwater infiltration parking area. The high ground quickly drops down a steep 20' escarpment to a thick fringe of Section 404 Wetlands. This area is vegetated with Wax Myrtle (Myrica cerifera), Live Oak (Quercus vir!!iniana) and various other freshwater wetland species. Kudzu is also present in the area. Adjacent to the Section 404 Wetlands is high marsh vegetated with Giant Cordgrass (Spartina cynosuroides), Black Needle Rush (Juncus roemarianus), and Cattails (Typha spp), The break between the Section 404 Wetlands and the high marsh is designated on the plat as the CAMA line. Along the waters edge is a thin fringe of Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina alternitlora). Neither of the adjacent shorelines are stabilized and the adjacent property to the north has a dock. Approximately 80' off shore of the site is the center line of the Hominey Creek channel. This area of the White Oak River is classified by the Division of Water Quality as SC waters. It is not a PNA and is closed to the taking of shellfish. There are no shellfish leases in the area, Swansboro's Land Use Plan dated 1999 classifies this area as Developed and Conservation. 10, Project Description: The Town of Swansboro is proposing to construct a 615' dockwalk to allow pedestrians to walk along the White Oak River. A l4'Xl2' viewing platform would be constructed on high ground with a water fountain, trash receptacles and interpretative signs, The proposed dockwalk would be connected to an existing dock on the adjacent property (Swan Harbor) to the north. The Town of Swansboro has future plans to connect the dockwalk to Bicentennial Park to the south. This permit docs not address those future plans. Adjacent to the existing parking lot on high ground would be the proposed l4'XI2'( 1 68f(2) viewing platform with benches, a water fountain, trash receptacles and interpretative signs. Surrounding the platform and parking area would be a 20'X200'(4,OOOft2) area to be graded and planted with native landscaping. Appropriate silt fencing will be used during grading to prevent sediment transfer to the adjacent wetlands. Extending from the platform, the proposed 6' wide dockwalk \vould cross 90' (540ft2) of highground before dropping down the escarpment. From here the dockwalk would cross over 55'(3301'[3) of Section 404 Wetlands. Then the dockwalk would run parallel to the White Oak River crossing 405'(2,470ft2) of high marsh, Two sections (10' long) over high marsh will be expanded to 8' wide for handicaped access. The dock walk would be elevated 4,75' above the marsh surface. A 65' section of the dockwalk will extend below NHW, There will be one 10' section of this area expanded to 8' wide for handicaped access. Field Investigation Report: Town of Swansboro Dockwalk Page 03 The boundary of the proposed project extends across the properties of and into the riparian corridor of both Swan Harbor and the N.C. Dept. of Transportation. The proposed dockwalk will connect to the existing dock on Swan Harbor property. Permanent easements from both Swan Harbor and the N.C. Dept. of Transportation have been obtained and are on file with the Register of deeds in Onslow Co. 11. Anticipated Impacts: The proposed dockwalk would result in 540 ft2 of high ground, 330ft2 of Section 404 Wetlands and 2,470ft2 of high marsh to be shaded. An additional 430 ft2 of open water would be shaded and incorporated. The construction of the dockwalk could cause temporary impacts to coastal and federal wetlands from pile driving and foot traffic. On high ground, the 4,000 ft2 area to be graded could result in sediment transport to adjacent wetlands. Silt fences are proposed to prevent this from happening, A total of 7,946 ft2 would be disturbed during this project with no impervious area being created. The proposed dockwalk would provide the public with access to and views of the White Oak river.
