Subject: Action ID # 200501022, Friends of the NC Maritime Museum, 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 July 20, 2005. The applicant, the Friends of the NC Maritime
Museum, have applied for a Department of the Army (DA) permit for various activities on a
28.2-acre tract adjacent to Gallants Channel near Beaufort. The proposed work is being
considered under Regional General Permit #198000291, a pen-nit/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. 661-667d). Comments related to the FWCA are
to be used in your determination of compliance with 404(b)(1) 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).
Proposed Activities and Anticipated Impacts
The PN contains a copy of the CAMA permit application and an "Environmental Investigation
for Gallants Channel Waterfront Development," prepared by Environmental Services, Inc. and
Moffatt and Nichols. These documents give the various activities proposed and the associated
environmental impacts. The Environmental Investigation (EI) is dated April 2005.
Various shoreline stabilization measures are proposed. Portions of the old bulkhead would be
removed and replaced with a sheet pile breakwater Excavation behind a portion of the old
bulkhead would impact 0.10 of an acres of mudflat waterward of the mean high water line
(MHWL). Section 4.5 states that the constructed breakwaters will have slits in order to allow the
normal ebb and flow of the tides to reach the remaining areas of coastal marsh that have, become
established behind the old bulkhead.
2
Along a portion of sheet pile bulkhead, a pile-support boardwalk (1,015 feet) would be
constructed. This boardwalk would cover 11,500 square feet (ft) of coastal marsh'and public
trust waters. Access walkways to the boardwalk would cover 109 ft2 of coastal marsh. The El
states that the walkway would be a minimum of three feet above the ground surface. Riprap
would be used to create toe protection and a submerged riprap groin. These structures would use
1,268 cubic yards (yd3) of material and would be no wider than ten feet.
Some dredging would be performed. Maintenance dredging in the existing boat basin and
outside the basin would remove 1,510 yd3 and 585 yd3, respectively. A temporary, water taxi
dock (200 feet by 10 feet) would be placed in the boat basin. No freshwater, or 404-type,
wetlands would be impacted.
An interesting aspect of the project is the creation of approximately 0.21 of an acre of coastal
marsh. This area would be graded down to two feet above mean sea level. This elevation is
slightly below the MHWL which is given as +2.08 feet.
Federally Protected Species
Section 7 of the El considers federally protected species known to occur in Carteret County. The
list has 14 species including the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) which is listed
due to similarity of appearance (S/A) with the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) which
only occur in southern Florida.
The shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrunt) and five species of sea turtles, when in the
water, are under the jurisdiction of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). That agency
will evaluate potential impacts of the project on sea turtles in the water. There is no sea turtle
nesting habitat (under the jurisdiction of the Service) in the project area.
The Service has reviewed available information on federally-threatened or endangered species
known to occur in Carteret County. We have also reviewed information 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 information on species which should be considered in permitting this project. The
project area is located in the Beaufort quad. The occurrence data of special status species within
this quad can be obtained on the internet at the "Database Search" heading of <
http://www.ncnlip.ore/Panes/lieritaizedata.litml >.
Our review indicates that the West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus) is the only federally
listed species under our jurisdiction that is likely to occur in the project area. This federally-
endangered mammal is known to occur in Carteret County and the NCNHP database has a
current record for the species in the Beaufort quad. The shallow, estuarine waters of the lower
Newport River and Gallants Channel may provide suitable habitat for manatees that move along
the Atlantic Coast during summer months and are seasonal transients in North Carolina,
primarily from June through October. Manatees may be found in water one to two meters (3.3 -
6.6 feet) deep. The species moves extensively when in North Carolina waters and past
occurrence records cannot be used to precisely determine the likelihood that it will be presence at
a particular construction site.
Existing water depths appear to be sufficient for manatee use and the proposed dredging may
pose a risk to manatees. To protect manatees in North Carolina, the Service developed
guidelines entitled "Precautions for General Construction in Areas Which May Be Used by the
West Indian Manatee in North Carolina." These guidelines address all types of in-water
construction, except blasting, and should produce little, if any, additional expense. The
guidelines are intended mainly to ensure that construction personnel are informed that manatees
may occur in the work area, that work should cease if a manatee approaches the work area, work
should not resume until the manatee leaves the work area, and procedures for reporting the death
or injury of a manatee. These guidelines are available on our web site at < littp://nc-
es.fws.gov/mammal/manatee guide]ines.pdfl. The risk to manatees could be reduced to an
acceptable level by the implementation of the Service's guidelines. The risk would be further
reduced by performing the work during the period of November through May.
With the inclusion of our manatee guidelines, 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 pursuant to
section 7 of the ESA would be fulfilled. However, the Corps must reconsider its obligations
under section 7 if. (1) new inforination 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 CAMA permit application states that there is no submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) in the
area to be dredged. The type of material to be excavated includes mud, sand, and concrete
debris. The Service is pleased that no SAV would be impacted.
The Service seeks to ensure that structures built over wetlands are not harmful to vegetation.
The El (Section 4.2) states that walkways would be built a minimum of three feet above the
ground surface. However, detailed drawings of Section C-C and the type "B" boardwalk show
the "top of the dock" at six feet above MSL. The Service requests that the Coordinated Federal
Position (CFP) stipulate that all structures over coastal wetlands be at an elevation that is
adequate to support the existing vegetation. This is consistent with Special Condition i of
Wilmington District's Regional General Permit 197800056 for piers and docks (effective date
March 16, 2005) which requires docks and piers extending over wetlands to be sufficiently
elevated (a minimum of three feet) above the wetland substrate to prevent total shading of
vegetation, substrate, or other elements of the aquatic environment. The specified minimum
elevation (three feet) should not be assumed to provide the necessary sunlight to the vegetation
beneath the proposed walkways.
We also recommend that the Coordinated Federal Position (CFP) request that the project permit
prohibit the placement of any pipeline in vegetated wetlands and that the project have procedures
4
for detecting and repairing accidental spills as well as plans for removing any spoil accidentally
spilled into vegetated wetlands.
With prudent measures to protect manatees and due consideration of the other basic conservation
measures mentioned above, the Service does not oppose the issuance of a DA permit for the
work described in the permit application and El. We appreciate the opportunity to comment on
this permit application. If you have questions regarding these comments or wish to discuss the
development of the coordinated federal position, please contact Howard Hall at 919-856-4520,
ext. 27 or by e-mail at < [e-mail] >. Please provide this office with a copy of the
coordinated federal position, if one is developed.

We recommend that the following conditions be included in the State authorization:
1. All work authorized by this permit must be performed in strict compliance with the
attached plans, which are a part of this permit. Any modification to these plans must be approved
by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) prior to implementation.
2. The permittee understands and agrees that, if future operations by the United States
require the removal, relocation, or other alteration, of the structure or work herein authorized, or
if, in the opinion of the Secretary of the Army or his authorized representative, said structure or
work shall cause unreasonable obstruction to the free navigation of the navigable waters, the
permittee will be required, upon due notice from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, to remove,
relocate, or alter the structural work or obstructions caused thereby, without expense to the
United States. No claim shall be made against the United States on account of any such removal,
relocation, or alteration. The permittee shall notify NOAA/NATIONAL OCEAN SERVICE
Chief Source Data Unit N CS261, 1315 E West HWY- RM 7316, Silver Spring, MD 20910-
3282 at least two weeks prior to beginning work and upon completion of work.
3. Except as specified in the plans attached to this permit, no excavation, fill or
mechanized land-clearing activities shall take place at any time in the construction or
maintenance of this project, in such a manner as to impair normal flows and circulation patterns
within waters or wetlands or to reduce the reach of waters or wetlands.
4. Except as authorized by this permit or any USACE approved modification to this
permit, no excavation, fill or mechanized land-clearing activities shall take place at any time in
the construction or maintenance of this project, within waters or wetlands. This permit does not
authorize temporary placement or double handling of excavated or fill material within waters or
wetlands outside the permitted area. This prohibition applies to all borrow and fill activities
connected with this project.
5. All mechanized equipment will be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of waters and wetlands from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic
materials. In the event of a spill of petroleum products or any other hazardous waste, the
permittee shall immediately report it to the N.C. Division of Water Quality at [phone],
Ext. 526 or [phone] and provisions of the North Carolina Oil Pollution and Hazardous
Substances Control Act will be followed.
6. The authorized structure and associated activity must not interfere with the public's
right to free navigation on all navigable waters of the United States. No attempt will be made by
the permittee to prevent the full and free use by the public of all navigable waters at or adjacent
to the authorized work for reason other than safety.
7. The permittee must install and maintain, at his expense, any signal lights and signals
prescribed by the U.S. Coast Guard, through regulations or otherwise, on authorized facilities.
For further information, the permittee should contact the U.S. Coast Guard Marine Safety Office

permitted between the dates of April 1 and September 30 of any year without the prior approval
of the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
9. All excavated materials will be confined landward of the mean high water level
elevation contour and any vegetated wetlands.
10. All excavated materials will be confined landward of the mean high water level
elevation contour within adequate dikes or other retaining structures to prevent spillover of
dredged materials into any vegetated wetlands or surrounding waters.
11. Flow from the diked retention area will be confined by pipe, trough, or similar device
to a point at or below the mean low water level elevation contour to prevent gully erosion and
siltation.
12. Excavation will not exceed 12 feet below the elevation of mean low water. In no case
shall excavation exceed the depth of connecting waters.
2
13. If the permittee discovers any previously unknown historic or archeological remains
while accomplishing the authorized work, he will immediately notify the Wilmington District
Engineer who will initiate the required coordination procedures.
14. Approval of the structure was based on determinations that there would be no
obstruction to navigation. The structure may be damaged by wave wash from passing vessels.
Issuance of this permit should not be construed, as relieving the permittee of taking proper steps
to insure the structure and moored boats will not be damaged by wave wash.
15. The permittee shall advise the Corps in writing at least two weeks prior to beginning
the work authorized by this permit and again upon completion of the work authorized by this
permit.
16. The permittee shall require its contractors and/or agents to comply with the terms and

similar appropriate devices around all areas subject to soil disturbance or the movement of
earthen fill, and the immediate stabilization of all disturbed areas. Additionally, the project must
remain in full compliance with all aspects of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973
(North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 113A Article 4).
18. The activity will be conducted in such a manner as to prevent a significant increase in
turbidity outside the area of construction or construction-related discharge. Increases such that
the turbidity in the waterbody is 50 NTU's or less in all rivers not designated as trout waters by
the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM), 25 NTU's or less in all
saltwater classes and in all lakes and reservoirs, and 10 NTU's or less in trout waters, are not
considered significant.
19. The permittee, upon receipt of a notice of revocation of this permit or upon its
expiration before completion of the work will, without expense to the United States and in such
time and manner as the Secretary of the Army or his authorized representative may direct,
restore the water or wetland to its pre-project condition.
20. Violations of these conditions or violations of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act or
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act must be reported in writing to the Wilmington District
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers within 24 hours of the permittee's discovery of the violation.

Executive Summary
The Friends of the North Carolina Maritime Museum (FOM) propose to t6lize an existing
28.18-acre parcel of land in Beaufort, North Carolina in preparation for the`:?tJ06 T a71 Ships
Exhibition. The City of Beaufort has been chosen to host this event next y??r. The prpjE,et
study area is located on State Road 1170 adjacent to Gallant's Channel. The pekWort-
Morehead City Airport lies just northeast of the project study area (See attached vic map).
The project study area currently consists of disturbed/successional land resulting from past
activities on the site. A few of the original buildings remain onsite, but they will be removed prior
to the revitalization. There is an old steel bulkhead along the existing shoreline that was
constructed during the operation of the fishmeal plant. It is currently in disrepair and has failed
in many locations.
Four plant communities occur in the project study area: salt marsh, freshwater shrub-scrub
wetlands, maritime shrub-scrub, and maintained/disturbed land. Section 404 wetlands as
regulated by the ACOE are present on the site and have been delineated and surveyed during a
previous site investigation. The ACOE has verified the wetland delineated and revalidated the
wetland survey on 5/18/2004.
The AECs occurring onsite include the areas of coastal marsh along the shoreline and coastal
shoreline, which consists of the land within 75 feet of the normal high water level. The current
coastal marsh AEC jurisdiction line is indicated on the attached plan sheets. Public trust waters
are waterward of the MHWL and are directly adjacent to the project study area.
Potential coastal wetland and public trust waters AEC impacts include minor disturbances from
removing the old bulkhead and replacing it with a boardwalk and breakwater system. Minor
dredging will also occur in and adjacent to the existing boat basin. Potential AEC impacts include
the following:
• 1,015 linear ft. of boardwalk covering 11,500 feet2 over coastal marsh and public trust
waters (along old bulkhead line)
• 2,095 yds3 of dredging (1,510 yd S3 within basin and 585 yds3 outside of basin)
• 109 ft2 of shading impact to coastal marsh from access walkways leading to the
boardwalk. Walkways will be a minimum of 3 ft. above the ground surface.
• Temporary 200' x 10' water taxi dock
• 1,268 yd S3 of rip rap placed in the water as toe protection and for the sub tidal groin
• 0.10 acre of impact resulting from excavation to a mud flat located within the northern
peninsula, behind the failed bulkhead. This area is waterward of the MHWL and should
be considered a public trust area.
• 0.03-acre of disturbance to small fringes of coastal wetland that will be disturbed as a
result of removing the old bulkhead around the southern peninsula.

1.0 PROJECT INFORMATION
The Friends of the North Carolina Maritime Museum (FOM) propose to revitalize an existing? ,,? \-3
28.18-acre parcel of land in Beaufort, North Carolina in preparation for the 2006 T? I. Ships
Exhibition. The City of Beaufort has been chosen to host this event next year; Mr.- Mike
Winters, PE of Moffatt & Nichol (M&N) of
Raleigh, NC is serving as the Project Engineer
and Project Manager for the Gallant's Channel
Waterfront project. Mr. Jeff Harbour of
Environmental Services, Inc. (ESI) of Raleigh,
NC is the environmental consultant responsible
for CAMA, 404, and 401 permitting. The project
study area is located on State Road 1170 (West
Beaufort Road) adjacent to Gallant's Channel.
The Beaufort-Morehead City Airport lies just +
northeast of the project study area (See
attached vicinity map).
1.1 Project Description
The FOM wish to reconstruct some shoreline stabilization measures along with elevated
boardwalks along the shoreline in preparation for the 2006 Tall Ships Exhibition and in preparation
for the future expansion of the NC Maritime Museum. The demolition and construction along the
existing shoreline is proposed as follows:
• 870'+/- of existing steel sheet pile bulkhead to be removed after installation of new
structures. Some will be cut off at grade and some will be removed completely.
• 335' +/- of old bulkhead will be cut off at grade and elevated pile-supported boardwalk will
be constructed immediately waterward of the old bulkhead.
• 432' +/- of new steel sheet pile breakwater will be constructed around the easternmost
peninsula. Elevated pile-supported boardwalk will be constructed as part of the
breakwater system. This system will straddle the failed bulkhead.
• 136' +/- of new steel sheet pile bulkhead will be built in high ground along the rear of the
existing boat basin with pile-supported boardwalk to be built along the waterward side of
this bulkhead.
• A total of 1,015 linear feet of pile-supported boardwalk covering 11,500 ft2 will be
constructed along the existing shoreline.
• 1,268 yds' of riprap will be used to stabilize the toe of new structures and to stabilize the
remaining portions of the old bulkhead. The toe of the riprap will be no wider than 10 feet.

• A minor amount of maintenance dredging will be required in the existing boat basin (1,510
yds3) to remove material that sloughs off and to provide consistent depths.
• Dredging adjacent to the two fingers for suitable depths for mooring the tall ships (585
yds3)•
• A temporary water taxi dock (200'x 10') will be located within the existing boat basin.
• Access walkways to the pile-supported boardwalks will be constructed over 109 ft2 of
coastal marsh. These will be elevated a minimum of 3 feet above the marsh substrate.
• Approximately 0.21 acre (9,270 ft2) of coastal marsh creation is proposed along the
shoreline. The area will be graded down to an elevation on +2.0 ft, which is slightly below
the MHW elevation of +2.08 ft.
No Section 404 wetlands will be impacted under this proposal. Only 0.03 acre of CAMA coastal
marsh that has become established behind the failed bulkhead and 0.10 acre of mud flat/debris
that is also behind the failed bulkhead may be affected. Timber fenders will allow the tall ships to
berth against the pile-supported boardwalks along the shoreline and inside the boat basin.
1.2 Site History and Existing Conditions
The project study area was originally occupied by
The Fish Meal Company, which produced
menhaden oil and by-products from the late
1930's until the early 1970's. The fish processing
operation also included a shipyard where boats
were constructed along with boat and net repair
facilities. Many of the structures associated with
the fishmeal plant have been razed since
operation ceased in the early 1970's leaving large
concrete slabs as the only remnants of these buildi
The project study area currently consists of
disturbed/successional land resulting from past
activities on the site. A few of the original
buildings remain onsite, but they will be removed
prior to the revitalization. An old dredge spoil
containment area is located along the northwest
site boundary. There is an old steel bulkhead
along the existing shoreline that was constructed
during the operation of the fishmeal plant. It is
currently in disrepair and has failed in many
locations. In those areas where the bulkhead has

failed, it has fallen outward from its original location. A'?i?sf?aTfTringeC(? lReCtwM ide) of coastal
marsh has become established behind the failed bulkhead in some locations. There is also an
existing bulk headed boat basin that was created as part of the fishmeal operation. The existing
impervious area onsite is 2.43 acres (106,066 sq.ft.) and consists of concrete slabs, old buildings,
concrete debris piles, and the existing gravel drive.
1.3 Environmental Surveys
Onsite assessments for wetlands, cultural resources issues, and threatened and endangered
species have been conducted on the project site. For further details regarding wetlands, please
refer to Section 5.0 of this document. Threatened/endangered species and cultural resource
surveys are discussed in Sections 7.0 and 8.0, respectively.
1.4 Agency Coordination

representative.
2.0 PURPOSE AND NEED
The purpose of the Gallant's Channel Waterfront Project, as proposed by the FOM, is to provide
an exhibition area for the 2006 Tall Ships Exhibit scheduled to occur in Beaufort in July 2006.
This exhibit visits different port cities throughout the United States, and it is a major
accomplishment to be able to host this event in Beaufort. The Gallant's Channel Waterfront site
will provide additional berthing areas for several ships. The site will also have a great lawn area
for other festivities that will occur during the July 2006 event.
The specific need is to be able to provide sufficient berth space for several of the tall ships and to
provide additional open space for related festivities. This will involve the construction of an
elevated boardwalk and breakwater system in the location of the existing, failed bulkhead. No
permanent docking or mooring space will be provided. All berthing is temporary and will be
accomplished via "side to" berthing. A water taxi dock will also be constructed to allow alternate
modes of transportation to and from the site during the 2006 event.
A gravel parking lot will be constructed to accommodate cars and buses.
2.1 ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS
ACOE guidance from 22 April 1986 requires that alternatives be practicable to the applicant and
that the purpose and need for the project must be the applicant's purpose and need. This
guidance also states that project purpose is to be viewed from the applicant's perspective rather
than only from the broad, public perspective. The essential point of the ACOE policy guidance of
22 April 1986 is that under the Section 404 (b)(1) Guidelines, an alternative must be available to
the applicant to be a practicable alternative. Pursuant to 40 CFR 230.10(a)(2) practicable
alternatives are those alternatives that are "available and capable of being done after taking into
consideration cost, existing technology, and logistics in light of overall project purpose."
The preamble to the Guidelines states, "if an alleged alternative is unreasonably expensive to the
applicant, the alternative is not practicable." Section 40 CFR 230.10 (a) of the Guidelines state
that " no discharge of dredged or fill material shall be permitted if there is a practicable alternative
to the proposed discharge which would have less adverse impact on the aquatic ecosystem, so
long as the alternative does not have other significant environmental consequences."

The FOM has investigated other options for hosting the 2006 Tall Ships Ex i ion. owever, in
light of the future plans for the project study area, it was decided to propose the necessary
infrastructure on this site in preparation for the 2006 event as opposed to finding another site.
Other sites that are close to Beaufort, and that already have some infrastructure in place, are
unavailable to the FOM. The FOM feel that the currently proposed project site represents the best
possible location for this project because the proposed waterfront infrastructure meshes perfectly
with the ultimate plans for the site, which includes a recreated maritime village and other
attractions associated with the existing NC Maritime Museum.
2.2 No Action Alternative
A "No Action" alternative is here considered to be one that avoids all wetland and surface water
impacts. A "No Action" decision for this project would result in negative impacts to,FOM, the City
of Beaufort, the Tall Ships Exhibition, and the general public. The "No Action" alternative is not
capable of achieving the basic purpose and need of the proposed project and, therefore, is not a
reasonable alternative.
3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
3.1 Soils
The Soil Survey of Carteret County, NC indicates that the project study area is mapped as
containing one soil-mapping unit. This soil-mapping unit consists of Augusta loamy fine sand
(Ag). This soil is nearly level and somewhat poorly drained. It is found on flats and in
depressions on stream and low marine terraces near rivers, creeks, sounds, and bays (USDA
1978). The project study area also contains an area that has been used for dredge disposal.
This area is located along the northwest boundary, east of SR 1170.
3.2 Water Resources
The project study area is in the White Oak River basin is located in one USGS hydrologic unit;
03020106.
A Best Usage Classification is assigned to tidal salt waters of the North Carolina based on the
existing or contemplated best usage of various bodies of water. Town Creek, which forms
Gallant's Channel, has been assigned a Best Usage Classification of SC from its source to the
Newport River (NCDENR 2005). Class SC water bodies are salt-water bodies suitable for
secondary recreation, fishing, and aquatic life including propagation and survival, and wildlife.
Town Creek is not listed as an Outstanding Resource Water (ORW) or a High' Quality Water
(HQW).
3.3 Plant Communities
Distribution and composition of plant communities throughout the study corridor reflect landscape-
level variations in topography, soils, hydrology, and past and present land use practices.
Scientific names are in accordance with Radford (1968) and other regional references.

Morehead City DCM
Salt marsh occurs along the shoreline and has
become established in several small areas behind
the old bulkhead. This community is dominated by
Spartina alterniflora, S. patens, Borrichia
frutescens, and Salicornia sp. There are also
several large expanses of undisturbed salt marsh
along the shoreline of the project study area that
contain S. alterniflora and Juncus romerianus that
will not be affected by this proposed project. These
larger areas of salt marsh are north and south of
the proposed waterfront construction.
a ~".k
n'
Freshwater shrub-scrub wetlands are located
landward of the mean high water line and are
scattered throughout the project study area.
Dominant vegetation within this community includes
Salix nigra, Scirpus cyperinus, and Typha latifolia.
These wetlands are identified on the wteland plat
provide in Attachment A and portions of these
wetlands have been identified as seasonal rookery
habitat for the green-backed heron (Butorides
striatus).
Maritime shrub-scrub community consists of high ground uplands and is vegetated primarily with
Myrica cerifera, flex vomitoria, Quercus spp. and Pinus spp. This community is located in the
vicinity of the dredge disposal area.
The mixed pine/hardwood forest is located on the opposite side of SR 1170 from the waterfront
portion of the project study area. No work is currently proposed in this area. Dominant vegetation
includes Pinus taeda, Magnolia grandiflora, Persea borbonia, Acer rubrum, Quercus laurifolia,
Quercus virginiana, flex vomitoria, Myrica cerifera, and Smilax spp.

Maintained/disturbed land includes those areas that
are routinely maintained or have been disturbed to
a degree that they no longer maintain any
significant plant communities. These areas include
but are not limited to maintained rights-of-way,
residential development, driveways, powerline
easements, utility easements, and commercial
development.
3.4 Wildlife
During the field investigation phase of this project, the Gallant's Channel Waterfront site was

scripta), mud turtle (Kinostemon subrubrum), banded vMPINW 49- aPO ! brown water
snake (Nerodia taxispilota), and cottonmouth (Agkistrodon piscivorus).
The coastal marsh along the shoreline also provides habitat for numerous marine vertebrates and
invertebrates. Species directly observed include fiddler crabs (Uca spp.), marsh crabs (Sesarma
spp.), mud snails (llyanassa obsoleta), marsh periwinkles (Littorina irrorata), Eastern oyster
(Crassostrea virginica), and Atlantic ribbed mussels (Geukensia demissa).
4.0 COASTAL AREA MANAGEMENT ACT
NCDCM and the Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) oversee the Coastal Area
Management Act (CAMA), which affords additional protection to certain areas located within any
of the twenty (20) coastal counties. Activities that impact certain coastal wetlands that are under
the jurisdiction of CAMA, also known as Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC), typically
require CAMA approval as granted through the NCDCM. Pre-determined areas within the
project study area will qualify as AECs because they meet one or more of the following criteria
defining CAMA's AECs: 1) public trust waters; 2) estuarine waters; 3) coastal shorelines; and 4)
coastal wetlands. Public trust waters are the coastal waters and submerged lands that every
North Carolinian has the right to use. These areas often overlap with estuarine waters, but also
include many "inland" fishing waters as defined by the North Carolina Marine Fisheries
Commission. Estuarine waters are the state's oceans, sounds, tidal rivers and their tributaries,
which stretch across coastal North Carolina and link to the other parts of the estuarine system:
public trust areas, coastal wetlands and coastal shorelines. Coastal shorelines include all lands
within 75 feet of the normal high water level of estuarine waters. Coastal wetlands include any
marsh in the 20 coastal counties that regularly or occasionally flood by lunar or wind tides, and
includes one or more of the ten-listed CAMA plant species (NCDCM 2002).
4.1 Areas of Environmental Concern
Mark Hardeman of NCDCM established the current coastal marsh AEC jurisdiction line with ESI
staff in December 2004. The AECs occurring onsite include the areas of coastal marsh along
the shoreline and coastal shoreline, which consists of the land within 75 feet of the normal high
water level. The current coastal marsh AEC jurisdiction line is indicated on the attached plan
sheets. Public trust waters are waterward of the MHWL and are directly adjacent to the project
study area.
4.2 Potential AEC Impacts
Potential coastal wetland and public trust waters AEC impacts include minor disturbances from
removing the old bulkhead and replacing it with a boardwalk and breakwater system. Minor

dredging will also occur in and adjacent to the existing boat basin. Potential AEC impacts include
the following:
1,015 linear ft. of boardwalk covering 11,500 feee over coastal marsh and public
trust waters (along old bulkhead line)
• 2,095 yds3 of dredging (1,510 yds3 within basin and 585 yds3 outside of basin)
• 109 ft' of shading impact to coastal marsh from access walkways leading to the
boardwalk. Walkways will be a minimum of 3 ft. above the ground surface.
Temporary 200' x 10' water taxi dock
• 1,268 yds3 of rip rap placed in the water as toe protection and for the sub tidal groin
0.10 acre of impact resulting from excavation to a mud flat located within the
northern peninsula, behind the failed bulkhead. This area is waterward of the
MHWL and should be considered a public trust area.
• 0.03-acre of disturbance to small fringes of coastal wetland that will be disturbed as
a result of removing the old bulkhead around the southern peninsula.
The following photographs are of the 0.10-acre mud flat/debris pile that is surrounded by the failed
bulkhead on the northern peninsula. This area will be excavated and a sub tidal riprap groin will
be constructed along with an elevated boardwalk. Approximately half of the area will become
open water (i.e. public trust waters) as part of the existing boat basin once the old bulkhead and
debris is removed and maintenance dredging has cleaned up the area.

4.3 Essential Fish Habitat
Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) is defined by the NMFS as "those waters and substrate necessary
for fish spawning, breeding, feeding, or growth to maturity" (NMFS 1999). For the purpose of
interpreting the definition of EFH: "Waters" include aquatic areas and their associated physical,
chemical and biological properties that are used by fish and may include aquatic areas historically
used by fish where appropriate; "substrate" includes sediment, hard bottom, structures underlying
the waters, and associated biological communities; "necessary" means the habitat required to
support a sustainable fishery and the managed species' contribution to a healthy ecosystem; and
"spawning, breeding, feeding, or growth to maturity" covers a species' full life cycle (NMFS 1999).
An EFH Assessment is an analysis of the effects of a proposed action on EFH. Pursuant to 50
CFR 600.920 (g) mandatory contents include: a description of the proposed action, an analysis of
the effects of that action on EFH, the Federal action agency's views on those effects, and
proposed mitigation, if applicable. An adverse effect includes any impact that reduces the quality
and/or quantity of EFH. Pursuant to 50 CFR 600.810, adverse effects may include direct (e.g.,
contamination or physical disruption), indirect (e.g., loss of prey, or reduction in a species'
fecundity), site-specific or habitat-wide impacts, including individual, cumulative, or synergistic
consequences of actions.

During agency review of the permit application for the p p&<fibaectkhe ACOE makes the
initial determination of whether or not a proposed project may a Qr ??f jVfH. This
determination by the ACOE is submitted to the NMFS for their review and comment. NMFS will
then determine if additional consultation is necessary regarding the proposed project or if they
concur with ACOE's decision.
4.4 Potential EFH Impacts
ESI does not anticipate any negative impacts to EFH as a result of this project. The dredging will
consist of maintenance dredging within the boat basin to remove material that sloughs off during
the bulkhead removal and to obtain the appropriate depths within the basin. The 585 cubic yards
of dredging outside of the basin will occur in shallower areas that contain a sandy substrate. No
submerged aquatic vegetation was found in these areas as a result of assessments conducted by
ESI. Approximately 0.10 acre of mud flat that is littered with concrete debris and is behind the
failed bulkhead (prior photos) will be disturbed as a result of constructing the sub tidal groin in the
location of the northern peninsula. Approximately 0.03 acre of coastal marsh' fringe will be
disturbed as a result of sloughing that may occur during removal of the failed bulkhead around the
southern peninsula. The remaining coastal marsh that has become established behind the failed
bulkhead will remain undisturbed. Effects of the dredging will be mitigated through the stringent
use of turbidity curtains and other Best Management Practices (BMPs).
4.5 Habitat Improvement
The submerged riprap groin that will be constructed in the location of the northern peninsula will
provide beneficial sub tidal habitat for juvenile fish and invertebrates. It will also provide substrate
for the attachment of beneficial sessile marine species such as tunicates, bryozoans, limpets,
barnacles, oysters, and mussels. The riprap used to stabilize the toe of the existing portions of
the old bulkhead that will remain and also the new structures will also provide beneficial intertidal
habitat for marine species.
The proposed project will involve the construction of breakwaters that will have slits located at pre-
determined intervals in order to allow the normal ebb and flow of the tides to continue to reach the
remaining areas of coastal marsh that have become established behind the failed bulkhead.
Approximately 0.21 acre of coastal marsh creation is proposed along the shoreline. The area will
be graded down to match the elevation of the adjacent coastal marsh. The elevation of the
proposed creation area currently ranges between +3.4 - 3.6 ft. MSL. The area will be graded
down to an elevation of approximately +2.0 ft. MSL. This is slightly lower than the areas MHW
elevation of +2.08 ft. MSL. Refer to Grading Typical Section B-B on Sheet X-4. The area will be
allowed to revegetate naturally, however, some minor supplemental planting may be performed.

The created marsh will provide new habitat for sessile and benthic inverte ra es' well as for
wading birds and juvenile fish. It will also provide an education opportunity for the FOM and the
NC Maritime Museum.
4.6 Previous Habitat Enhancement Projects
The FOM were issued a previous NCDCM
Structures on 5 April 2001 (Permit No. 39-01).
This permit allowed for the construction of
several riprap sills that help restore eroding
coastal marsh shoreline and also improve
intertidal habitat for marine species that are
dependent on hard substrate. In January 2005,
this permit was extended until 31 December
2006. Conservation easements granted to the
State of North Carolina were established behind
these riprap sills.
5.0 JURISDICTIONAL ISSUES
5.1 Wetlands and Surface Waters
The ACOE and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) jointly define wetlands as:
"Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and
duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence
of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include
swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas."
According to the 1987 ACOE Wetland Delineation Manual (DOA 1987), areas must exhibit three
distinct characteristics to be considered jurisdictional wetlands: 1) display a prevalence of
hydrophytic (water tolerant) plants, 2) area dominated by hydric soils, and 3) possess sufficient
wetland hydrology. Vegetation, soils, and hydrology data were collected during the field surveys
in order to determine whether the three criteria were satisfied within each potential wetland
area.
Dredge and fill activities in "waters of the United States" must be authorized by the ACOE
pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA). Waters considered navigable by the
ACOE are also subject to permitting of obstructions to navigation under Section 10 of the Rivers
and Harbors Act. Activities authorized by the ACOE are subject to further requirements of Section
Gallant's Channel Waterfront 12 April 2005
Permit for Experimental Shoreline Stabilization
M
Environmental
Services, Inc.
401 of the CWA. In North Carolina, the NCDWQ administers the Section 401 Water Quality
Certification process. NCDCM also must issue authorization for any impacts to any AEC's under
the jurisdiction of CAMA.
5.2 Jurisdictional Wetland Determination
Section 404 wetlands as regulated by the ACOE are present on the site and have been
delineated and surveyed during a previous site investigation. The ACOE has verified the wetland
delineated and revalidated the wetland survey on 5/18/2004. A copy of the validated wetland
survey and jurisdictional determination is included in Attachment A. The project study area
contains approximately 6.4 acres of Section 404 wetlands pursuant to the validated wetland plat.
Approximately 0.74 acres of this total consists of coastal marsh. The CAMA coastal marsh
jurisdiction line has also been established onsite by ESI biologist Jeff Harbour and confirmed by
NCDCM representative Mark Hardeman.
5.3 Project Impacts
The impacts associated with this project are outlined below. No impacts are proposed to any of
the Section 404 wetlands landward of the MHWL. The AEC impacts are as follows:
• 1,015 linear ft. of boardwalk covering 11,500 feee over coastal marsh and public
trust waters (along old bulkhead line)
• 2,095 yds' of dredging (1,510 ydsa within basin and 585 ydsa outside of basin)
• 109 ft= of shading impact to coastal marsh from access walkways leading to the
boardwalk. Walkways will be a minimum of 3 ft. above the ground surface.
• Temporary 200' x 10' water taxi dock
• 1,268 yds3 of rip rap placed in the water as toe protection and for the sub tidal groin
• 0.10 acre of impact resulting from excavation to a mud flat located within the
northern peninsula, behind the failed bulkhead. This area is waterward of the
MHWL.
0.03-acre of disturbance to small fringes of coastal wetland that will be disturbed as
a result of removing the old bulkhead around the southern peninsula.
5.4 Avoidance and Minimization .; 1
= j .:i
Complete avoidance is not possible nor is it practicable for a project such as this. This project is
water-dependant and some effects to the shoreline are unavoidable. The FOM and the project
Gallant's Channel Waterfront 1 3 Apnl 2005
Environmental
Services, Inc.
engineer have gone through several revisions to avoid and minimize environmental impacts in the
project study area. The original plan proposed to replace the existing bulkhead with a new
bulkhead. This would have caused a minimum of 0.5 acre of impact to the emergent coastal
marsh that has become established behind the failed bulkhead. This plan was abandoned in
favor of the current plan, which utilizes breakwaters that will allow a continued connection of the
emergent marsh with Gallant's Channel.
6.0 GENERAL CONSTRUCTION INFORMATION
The backlands will require demolition of the existing buildings, building foundations, slabs, and
other infrastructure located within the construction limits. These items will be removed and the
site will be graded as indicated on the construction drawings. As the grading is completed, the
site will be sodded and or seeded and mulched as indicated on the drawings. The majority of the
site is graded to maintain the existing stormwater flow paths indicated. A new gravel parking area
is proposed in the middle of the site and is graded to direct runoff into an existing swale. The
swale has sediment basins and rock check dams constructed in it to provide treatment of any
runoff. The swale will be sodded. A small seat wall will be constructed to separate the great lawn
area from the wetlands adjacent Gallant's Channel.
The existing waterfront will be developed by cutting off portions of the existing sheet pile at grade,
removing sections of sheet piling and the associated backfill and installing new steel sheet pile
breakwaters and bulkheads (bulkheads are installed in upland areas only) as indicated on the
drawings. New piles will be installed both in front of the existing sheet pile. Concrete caps will be
formed on the piles and newly installed sheet pile breakwaters and bulkheads to support new
concrete boardwalks. The concrete boardwalks and handrails will be installed and the toe of the
existing and new sheet pile and sheet pile breakwaters will be protected with rip-rap as indicated.
6.1 Stormwater Management
The proposed stormwater collection system consists of a 30-foot grassed buffer strip, which will
sheet flow into a new wide grass-lined swale. Two silt basins along the centerline of the swale are
also proposed. A rock check dam is located at the terminus of the proposed ditch to filter the
water prior to releasing it into an existing vegetated swale that meanders approximately 375 feet
before out falling into Gallants Channel. Additional rock check dams can be installed if they are
deemed necessary. Based upon the preliminary calculations, the maximum water depth in the
swale will be 6 inches for a 2-year storm event.

7.2 Evaluation Methodology
Habitat evaluations were conducted within the project study area by ESI. Field evaluations were
conducted to specifically address the proposed Gallant's Channel Waterfront revitalization with
regards to federally endangered and threatened species habitat. The primary goal of the

Services, Inc.
protected species habitat characterization was to deMOTOh8adrQji:4ptDCsVtable habitat for
federally protected species exists within the project study area and to determine if species-specific
surveys would be necessary. Records kept by the NHP were reviewed prior to the field
investigation to identify known occurrences of listed species.
Potentially suitable habitat for listed species was identified using topographic mapping, county
soils survey mapping, wetland mapping, aerial photography, and ground truthing.
ESI biologists determined that suitable habitat was present for the following species: shortnose
sturgeon, loggerhead sea turtle, green sea turtle, leatherback sea turtle, hawksbill turtle, Kemp's
ridley sea turtle, and manatee. The suitable habitat for these species consists of the open water
directly adjacent to the project study area.
No suitable habitat for the following species is located in the project study area: American
alligator, piping plover, red-cockaded woodpecker, roseate tern, Eastern cougar, rough-leaved
loosestrife, and seabeach amaranth.
Species whose habitat is present are described below.
Shortnose surgeon - The shortnose sturgeon is a bottom-feeding fish that reaches lengths of 3 to 4
feet in length. Shortnose sturgeon is distinguished from Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus) by
smaller size and a shorter and blunter snout. Shortnose sturgeon occurs in Atlantic seaboard rivers
from the St. Johns River, Florida to eastern Canada. The sturgeon is anadromous in the
Southeast, spending most of the year in brackish estuarine environments and moving into
freshwater only when spawning (NMFS 1998). In North Carolina waters, shortnose sturgeons
migrate upstream to spawn between January and March (NMFS 1998). Spawning habitat
appears to consist of river channels with depths of 4 to 34 feet with substrates ranging from
rubble/boulder to gravel/sand/log (NMFS 1998). Larvae are found in the deepest water of the
channel and migrate downstream during their first year (NMFS 1998). Juveniles are found in
deeper portions of the lower reaches of rivers near the freshwater/saltwater boundary (NMFS
1998). In late spring through early winter adult shortnose sturgeon are typically found in estuaries
and lower sections of large rivers although some adults reportedly move into the Atlantic as well.
NHP records indicate that this species was last observed in this area along the southern coast
of Carteret County prior to 1980. Potential habitat for the shortnose sturgeon may include the
open water of Gallant's Channel. BMPs and the use of turbidity curtains will insure that the
project will not have a detrimental effect on this species.

Sea turtles -Five marine sea turtles are listed foec refafff5fet\,Ay this project, the
loggerhead sea turtle, green sea turtle, leather V c sea turtle, hawksbill sea turtle, and the
Kemp's ridely sea turtle. Loggerhead sea turtles average 31 to 47 inches in length and weigh
from 170 to 500 pounds (Martof et al. 1980). The green sea turtle reaches a length of 30 to 60
inches and weight of 220 to 650 pounds, and has a smooth, heart-shaped shell (Martof et al.
1980). Leatherback sea turtles average 46 to 70 inches in length, weigh from 650 to 1,500
pounds, and have a large shell of leathery skin covering small irregular bones. (Martof et al.
1980). Hawksbill sea turtles average 29.5 to 36 inches in length and weigh 80 to 280 pounds.
The head has a narrow snout with smooth cutting edges on the jaws (Martof et al. 1980). The
Kemp's ridley sea turtle averages 23 to 30 inches and weighs from 79 to 110 pounds. The shell
of the Kemp's ridley is as broad as it is long; this is the most endangered of all turtles.! All of these
sea turtle species are omnivorous to some degree (Martof et al. 1980, Palmer and Braswell 1995).
The loggerhead sea turtle is the most common sea turtle on the coast of the North Carolina and is
most numerous from late April to October. Sporadic nesting records exist for North Carolina
beaches (Martof et al. 1980).
Nesting habitat is not present at the project site; however, the open water of Gallant's Channel
may provide potential habitat should this species travel into the inlets or bays of the area.
These marine reptiles utilize barrier beaches for nesting, and occasionally feed in estuarine
waters. NHP records have documented occurrences of loggerhead sea turtles within 3.0 miles
of the project study area as recently as 2000.BMPs and the use of turbidity curtains will insure
that the project will not have a detrimental effect on this species.
Biological Conclusion: Not Likely to Adversely Affect
Manatee - The manatee is a large gray or brown aquatic mammal. Adults reach 10 to 13 feet
in length and weights up to 1,100 pounds (Webster et al. 1985). Manatees are herbivorous and
feed on aquatic vegetation. Manatees may be encountered in North Carolina waters during the
warmer summer months; however, they are considered transients and are much more common
in Georgia and Florida waters. Manatees prefer warm waters, but have been found in water
temperatures as low as 591 Fahrenheit (Webster et al. 1985). Manatees inhabit both salt and
fresh water bodies typically with depths of 5 to 20 feet. They may be encountered in canals,
rivers, estuarine habitats, saltwater bays, and in near-shore waters.
Gallant's Channel provides potential habitat for the manatee. NHP documents that a manatee
was observed near Morehead City on 1999. BMPs and the use of turbidity curtains will insure
that the project will not have a detrimental effect on this species. The applicant may wish to
educate the public about the possibility of encountering manatees during warm summer months.
Signage may provide a means to educate the users of this facility.

8.0 CULTURAL RESOURCES
Pursuant to Section 106, the FOM have consulted with the State Historic Preservation Office
(SHPO) with regard to the project site. A letter dated 28 September 2004 was received from
SHPO indicating that the current onsite buildings can be removed following a detailed photo-
documentation process. The results were to be submitted to SHPO for inclusion in the
recordation plan. A copy of this letter is included in Attachment B. SHPO did not document any
other cultural resource issues onsite.
9.0 CONCLUSION
The FOM wish to revitalize the former Fish Meal Company site as an expansion of the NC
Maritime Museum. The first phase of this project is to construct the necessary infrastructure for
the upcoming 2006 Tall Ships Exhibition to be hosted by Beaufort in July 2006. This infrastructure
includes a boardwalk system along the existing shoreline, a water taxi dock, and a breakwater
system to protect the shoreline. An existing boat basin will be restored and section of failed
bulkhead will be either removed completely or cut off at grade. A gravel parking lot and a great
lawn area are also proposed as upland development on the project site.
Considerable effort has been expended by the FOM, M&N, and ESI to develop a site plan that
complies with what is acceptable to state and federal regulatory agencies. Several interagency
meeting have been held to discuss this project. Many of the comments and suggestions received
from the regulatory community have been incorporated into the plans presented herein.

Re: Fishmeal plant and houses on Gallants'Charinel property, Beaufort, Carteret Count,
GSO4-2475
Dr. Crow ask that 1 respond to your September 16, 2004, ernail to him concerning the fishmeal plant and two
houses located on the Maritime Museum's GaUant3 Chanael property.
Although the fishmeal plant is not listed in the National Register of Historic Places, it is our understanding
that it is one of only two remaining fishmeal plants I Beaufort. Given the historical significance of these
plants to the development of the area,. we recommend that the building be documented in accordance with
the enclosed Historic Stxuctures Recordation Plan. We will be happy to provide our photographer to Like and
process the slides and black and white photographs, if you will. supply the remaining items of the recordation
plan.
Once the recordation is complete, we will file the materials in the statewide survey of historic buildings so
that there is a permanent record of what tcmams oftht! plant. Following upon the recordation, the museum
may undertake whatever activities it deems neeesearp at the mite, including demolition of the plant and two
houses.
These comments are made in accord with G.S. 121-12(a) and Executive Order-XV1. If you have questions
regarding them, please contact Renee Gledhill Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919/733-4763. In
A future communication concerning this project,-please cite the above-referenced tracking number.

There are wetlands on the above described property which we strongly suggest should be delineated and surveyed. The
surveyed wetland lines must be verified by our staff before the Carps will make a final jurisdictional detemnination on
your property.
Because of the size of your property and our present workload, our identification and delineation of your wetlands cannot
be accomplished ui a timely manner. You may wish to employ a consultant to obtain a more timely delineation of the
wetlands. Once your consultant has flagged a wetland line on the property, Corps staff will review it, and, if it is accurate,
we strongly recommend that you have the line surveyed for final approval by the Corps. The Corps will not make a final
jurisdictional detemunation on your property without an approved survey.

1. THE CURTAIN SHOULD NEVER TOUCH THE BOTTOM. A MINIMUM I-FOOT 'CAP' SHOULD EXIST
BETWEEN THE WEIGHTED LOWER END OF THE SKIRT AND THE BOTTOM AT NORMAL POOL.
MOVEMENT SMAY FAN R ANTHE BOTTOM DUE TO CURRENT OR D STIR SEDIMENTS ALREADY SETTLED OUT. FLUCTUATION
ON THE FLOTATION SYSTEM
2. TURBIDITY CURTAINS SHOULD BE LOCATED PARALLEL TO THE DIRECTION OF FLOW OF A MOVING
BODY OF WATER. TURBIDITY CURTAIN SHOULD NOT BE PLACED ACROSS THE MAIN FLOW OF A
SIGNIFICANT BODY OF MOVING WATER.
3. WHEN SIZING THE LENGTH OF A FLOATING CURTAIN, ALLOW AN ADDITIONAL 10-207. VARIANCE
IN A STRAIGHT LINE MEASUREMENTS THIS WILL ALLOW FOR MEASURING ERRORS, MAKE INSTALLING
EASIER AND REDUCE STRESS FROM POTENTIAL WAVE ACTION DURING HIGH WINDS.
4. AN ATTEMPT SHOULD BE MADE TO AVOID AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF JOINTS IN THE CURTAIN;
MINIMUM CONTINUOUS SPAN OF 50 FEET BETWEEN JOINTS IS REQUIRED.
5. FOR STABILITY REASONS, A MAXIMUM SPAN OF 100 FEET BETWEEN JOINTS (ANCHOR OR STAKE
LOCATIONS) IS REQUIRED. IF SPACINGS EXCEEDING THIS ARE ALLOWED BY THE MANUFACTURER,
DATA SHALL BE SUBMITTED FOR REVIEW.
6. THE ENDS OF THE CURTAN, BOTH FLOATING UPPER AND WEGHTED LOWER, SHOULD EXTEND
WELL UP INTO THE SHORELINE TO ELEVATION -6.0. THE ENDS SHOULD BE SECURED FIRMLY TO
THE SHORELINE (PREFERABLY TO RIGID BODIES SUCH AS TREES OR PILES) TO FULLY ENCLOSE THE
AREA WHERE SEDIMENT MAY ENTER THE WATER.
7. TYPICAL ALIGNMENTS OF TURBIDITY CURTAINS CAN BE SEEN IN FIGURE 2. THE NUMBER AND
SPACING OF EXTERNAL ANCHORS MAY VARY DEPENDING ON CURRENT VELOCITIES AND POTENT AL
WIND AND WAKE ACTION; THE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDATIONS SHOULD BE FOLLOWED.
6. IN RIVERS OR IN OTHER MOVING WATER IT IS IMPORTANT TO SET ALL THE CURTAIN ANCHOR POINTS.
CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT ANCHOR POINTS ARE OF SUFFICIENT HOLDING POWER TO

CURTAIN INTO THE WATER. AGAIN. ANCHOR BUOYS SHOULD 2E EMPLOYED ON ALL ANCHORS TO
PREVENT THE CURRENT FROM SUBMERGING THE FLOTATION AT THE ANCHOR POINTS.
9. WHEN THE ANCHORS ARE SECURE. THE FURLED CURTAIN SHOULD BE SECURED TO THE UPSTREAM
ANCHOR POINT AND THEN SEQUENTIALLY ATTACHED TO EACH NEXT COWNSTREAM ANCHOR POINT
UNTIL THE ENTIRE CURTAIN IS IN POSITION. AT THIS POINT, AND BEFORE UNFURLING. THE "LAY" OF

2. IF THE CURTAIN IS TO BE REUSED AT THE SITE. 1-E SITE SELECTED TO BRING THE CURTAIN ASHORE SHOULD
BE FREE OF SHARP ROCKS, BROKEN CEMENT, DEBRIS ETC. SO AS TO MINIMIZE DAMAGE WHEN HAULING
THE CURTAIN OVER THE AREA. ANY OAMAGE TO THE CURTAIN SHALL BE REPAIRED AS SPEFICEO.
3 IF THE CURTAIN HAS A DEEP SKIRT, IT CAN BE FURTHER PROrECTED BY RUNNING A SMALL BOAT ALCNC ITS
LENGTH WITH A CREW INSTALLING FURLING LINES BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE THE CURTAIN FROM THE

1. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE FILTER CURTAIN FOR THE DURATION OF
THE PROJECT IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE CONTINUOUS PROTECTION OF THE WATERCOURSE.
2. SHOULD REPAIRS TO THE GEOTEXTILE FABRIC BECOME NECESSARY, REPAIR KITS AVAILABII FROM THE
ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER SHALL BE USED. MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED TO ENSURE
THE ADEQUACY OF THE REPAR.
3 WHEN THE CURTAIN IS NO LONGER REQUIRED AS DETERMINED BY THE INSPECTOR, THE CURTAIN AND
RELATED COMPONENTS SHALL BE REMOVED IN SUCH A MANNER AS TO MINIMIZE TURBIDITY. REMAINING
SEDIMENT SHALL BE SUFFICIENTLY 5ETTLED BEFORE REMOVING THE CURTAIN. EDIMENT MAY BE REMOVED

APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Dear Mr. Frost:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to impact 2.78 acres of open water in order to
install eight mooring buoys within the riparian corridors of the Town Creek property in Carteret County, as described in your
application received by the Division of Water Quality on May 25, 2001. After reviewing your application, we have
determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3274 which can be downloaded from our
web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands . This Certification allows you to use your CAMA Permit when it is issued by
the NC Division of Coastal Management. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go
ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply
Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire when the accompanying CAMA Permit expires unless otherwise
specified in the General Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application: If you change your
project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application for a new certification. If the property is
sold, the new owner must be giv6n a copy of the Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying
with all conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may
be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in
the attached certification.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must
act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition conforming to Chapter
150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-
7447. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you
have any questions, please telephone Ms. Joanne Steenhuis in DWQ's Wilmington Regional Office at 910-395-3900 or Ms.
Cyndi Karoly in Raleigh at 919-733-9646.

9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
This application is for a Major Modification to State Permit #55-98, which was issued on
April 24, 1998. This permit authorizes the construction of a boat ramp, bulkhead, and 3 slip
docking facility, and is set to expire on 12/31/2001. The permit was later modified to allow
for the reconfiguration of the docking facility.
The project site is a 31.5 acre tract vegetated predominantly with herbaceous weeds and
woody shrub/scrub species, adjacent to Town Creek at the conflux with Gallant's Channel.
This is located off of West Beaufort Rd. in Beaufort, between runways #3 and #8 of the
Michael J. Smith Airport. This property was the location of a menhaden factory in years
past, and one large warehouse building and several concrete pads from the industry remain.
On the eastern portion of the tract, there is a small building currently being used to restore
artifacts from the Queen Anne's Revenge by the Underwater Archaeology Unit of the NC
Division of Archives and History. Also at this location, there is a mobile building for the
operation of the museum's sailing program, which utilizes a recently built pier and boat
ramp. This portion of the property has a recent and sound timber bulkhead. The site is
currently serviced by a septic system and municipal water.
A large portion of this property has been previously disturbed for development and spoil
placement, and there are federal wetlands internal to the property. The tract in its entirety is
intended for use as a boat restoration facility, underwater archaeology lab, NC windmill
replica, turn of the century maritime village, sailing program, nature trails, and educational
facility. However, this application does not deal with these visions. The future plans are
pending the final alignment of the NC DOT Gallants Channel Bridge proposal.
The eastern shoreline of Town Creek was once stabilized with a steel bulkhead wall, which is
still present for a large portion of the shoreline, although it is not functioning. The rusty
wall is protruding from the water, in some places 30' - 40' waterward of the nhw contour. It
serves in a limited capacity as a breakwater, but in very few places is the shoreline contained
behind the structure. In most areas, coastal marsh has colonized landward of the bulkhead.
The shoreline has fringes of Spartina alterniflora intermittent with areas transitioning from
sandy bottom to high marsh on erosion escarpments of varying elevations, and two areas
colonized with Phragmites pp.
The subject property has a shoreline length of approximately 1850'. The average elevation
on the property is +5' msl, and the transition to the creek is abrupt in most places, landward
of the aforementioned failing steel wall. The Town of Beaufort Land Use Plan classifies this
property as Developed, with all AEC's classified Conservation. The proposed development is
all within the Conservation category. The applicant has stated that the mean tide in the
project area is 2.9', with a spring tide of 3.5', and erosion due primarily to the forces of
wind. The tide information is confirmed by NOAA charts. The waters of Town Creek are
classified SC by the DWQ, and are closed to the taking of shellfish for consumption by the
Division of Health Services. Town Creek is not a designated primary nursery area at this
location.
F.O.M
Page 3
The applicants have recently received CAMA permit #39-01 to stabilize the shoreline through
the use of alternative stabilization methods, i.e., marsh enhancement revetments and sills,
and marsh planting.
The current proposal is to place 8 mooring buoys within the waters of Town Creek for use
by museum vessels. Two of the 8 moorings exist presently, but are required to come into
compliance with the mooring rules as per 15 NCAC 07H .0208(B)(10).
A total of eight pilings are proposed, placed from 125' to 320' from the shoreline, for use by
vessels ranging from 20' to 40' in length. The location of the riparian corridor for this site is
adjacent to the entrance channel of the Town Creek Harbor of Refuge, near the conflux with
Gallant's Channel. The required setback from this channel is 52' ((project depth + 2') x 3 +
10') as the channel has a project depth of 12'. The moorings are to be 750# Danforth
Anchors, with 20' - 30' of 3/4" chain (double the water depth at the specific location),
attached to white mooring balls with double pennants. Water depths at the locations of the
moorings range from -10' nlw to -18' n1w. Access to the moorings will be by way of the
existing ramp.
The moorings are shown on the submitted plats to be placed 80' to 140' apart. The body of
water width at moorings 1 & 2 is approximately 1400' across, with moorings extending to
±310' into the water; at moorings 3 & 4 the body of water is approximately 1400' across,
with moorings extending ±320' into the water; at moorings 5 & 6, the body of water is
approximately 1200' across, with moorings extending to 290' into the water; and at
moorings 7 & 8, the body of water is approximately 1040' across, with moorings extending to
±220' into the water. Moorings 3 and 5 exist currently.
Utilizing Chapman Piloting Seamanship and Small Boat Handling, 57'h Edition, and
assuming the largest vessel designated for these moorings, 40', the arc of the swing would be
807, creating a circular incorporated area of 160'. It is the outer edge of this circle that must
meet the riparian corridor setbacks and channel setbacks. The riparian corridor setbacks
appear to be met with the swing, as the plats indicate the channel setbacks are. The only
possible problem with the swing dimensions will be in the proximity of the vessels to each
other. Given that the vessels will all be owned by the applicant, the potential for damage is
only to the applicant, and it can be assumed that the Museum will assure adequate distance
between vessels. The perimeter of the swing areas forms a loose rectangle averaging 220' x
550', for a total use area of 121,000 sf, or 2.78 acres.
Full occupation of the mooring facilities at this Museum property would be 11 vessels.
F.O.M.

10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The impacts from the project will be from use rather than directly from the installation.
Approximately 2.78 acres of Public Trust Area within heavily traveled waters will be
incorporated by the proposal. The moorings will be used strictly by the museum for its
crafts, and is unlikely to be fully occupied at any time. The museum operates its sailing
program here, as well as keeping research and educational vessels (pirate ship, dive boat,
etc.) There does not appear to be a navigational hazard posed by this development, as the
channel setbacks are met, the 113 limitation is met, and there are no unusual site conditions
affecting navigation. Water depths are sufficient to support the proposed boating use.

Mooring Field at Gallants Channel Annex
Friends of the NC Maritime Museum
North Carolina Maritime Museum
The Friends of the NC Maritime Museum is proposing to install a mooring field just off the shore of the
property owned by The Friends known as the Gallants Channel Annex. Eight moorings are proposed to
secure vessels owned by The NC Maritime Museum, the Friends of the Museum or involved in programs
of the Museum.
Moorings are to be placed in an area off the west end of the subject property near the existing dock. Water
depth where the moorings are proposed ranges from approximately 10 to 18 feet.
Moorings proposed are 7504 Danforth anchors with between 20 and 30 feet of 1/4" chain (approximately
twice the water depth), white mooring ball and double pendant.
There are two existing moorings that are included in the eight proposed moorings that are noted as existing
on the site plan and will stay approximately where they are now.
