PROJECT SUMMARY: Applicant proposes to construct 325 ft. of wooden breakwater in 4 overlapping sections 15 ft. to 40 ft. offshore and fill 600 sq. ft. shoreline and re-establish marsh species on those areas. Ships Watch Association, Inc. Bio Report Page Two Site Description Ships Watch is an ocean to sound subdivision located on Highway 12 just north of Duck in Dare County. The applicant Tim Buck 11, Ltd. currently manages the property at Ships Watch for the Ships Watch Association, Inc. In Article VI of the Declaration of Covenants for Ships Watch, Tim Buck II, Ltd. is identified as the Managing Agent and is given the Power of Attorney to act on behalf of the property owners of Ships Watch. The sound side property consists of three private lots with houses and a lot with the Ships Watch Management offices. The properties are currently owned by 15 different owners. A 200 ft. pier with a "T" head and a concrete boat ramp are located on the Management offices property. A 6 ft. x 25 ft. dock is located on lot 52. Old asphalt riprap forms a low buffer along the shorelines of lots 52 and 53. The mowed yards of lots 50, 52, and 53 slope gradually into a coastal wetland fringe which varies in width from 2-4 ft. near the boat ramp to 20-25 ft. at the northern property line. There may be Section 404 wetlands landward of the coastal marsh. Recent storms have caused 15-20 ft. deep erosion pockets into the yards of lots 52 and 53. Two erosion pockets, one near the boat ramp and the other around the small dock are currently lacking vegetation. The rest of the eroded area behind the riprap has been colonized by threesquare (ci Vp'). Black needlerush (luncus roemarianus) can be found along the waters edge growing between the riprap and forming a 2-5 ft. band the length of the property. The coastal marsh species on lot 50 are mixed with giant reed (Phragmites australis) near the northern property line. The near shore waters of Currituck Sound are very shallow, only 1-2 ft. deep at normal water level. With strong northeast winds the water blows out often leaving 20-30 ft. of bottorn exposed. Submerged aquatic vegetation has been observed in the shallow waters offshore. The waters of Currituck Sound are classified as SC by the Division of Environmental Management. The applicant proposes to stabilize the shoreline by constructing 325 ft. of wooden breakwater and establishing wetland species in the unvegetated erosion pockets. The breakwater is to be constructed in four 80 ft. long overlapping sections 15 ft. to 40 ft. offshore. The sections are to be staggered with 10 ft. wide openings between them to allow adequate water access for the property owners. The breakwater is proposed to be constructed with '/a to '/z inch gaps between 2 x 6 sheathing boards and 6 to 12 inches above normal water level. The applicant also proposes to fill the two unvegetated erosion pockets to the adjacent wetland elevation and plant marsh species to stabilize the fill material. Ships Watch Association, Inc. Bio Report Page Three Anticipated Impacts The proposed breakwater will occupy approximately 162 sq. ft. of public trust waters. The 10 ft. gaps in the breakwater should provide adequate access to the public trust waters around the breakwater. The breakwater should protect the existing coastal marsh and possibly allow natural expansion of the marsh. The applicant also proposes to fill approximately 600 sq. ft. of unvegetated wetlands in two separate erosion pockets and then stabilize the material by planting marsh grasses. If care is taken in filling the erosion pockets there should not be any significant impacts to the adjacent wetlands, and the project should increase the total area of vegetated wetlands. The construction of the breakwater will likely increase water turbidity in the immediate shallow water area during construction. CAMA Review The estuarine waters, shoreline, and wetlands are listed in the Conservation Class of the Dare County Land Use Plan. A complete review will follow from Steve Gabriel.

A review of your application received June 7, 1993, for Department of the Army authorization to construct a wooden breakwater structure, place fill material in waters and reestablish marsh on Currituck Sound, north of Duck, Dare County, North Carolina, indicates it to be a candidate for Federal authorization under this general permit. Accordingly, the administrative processing of your application will be accomplished by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management. Comments from Federal review agencies will be furnished to the State. If your application must be withdrawn from this general permit process for any reason, you will be informed regarding its further management. If there are no unresolved differences in State-Federal positions or policies, the final action taken on your application by the State will result in your receiving written notice from us that your application is consistent with the general permit and you may commence your activity. Only after receiving such confirmation should you begin work. Your application, pursuant to Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, has been assigned Action ID No. 199302774 and will be coordinated by Mr. Raleigh Bland in our Washington Field Office.

On February 6, 1990, the DA and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) establishing procedures to determine the type and level of mitigation necessary to comply with the Clean Water Act Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines. This MOA provides for first, avoiding impacts to waters and wetlands through the selection of the least damaging, practical alternative; second, taking appropriate and practical steps to minimize impacts on waters and wetlands; and finally, compensating for any remaining unavoidable impacts to the extent appropriate and practical. To enable us to process your application in full compliance with this MOA, we request that you provide the following additional information: a. Permits for work within wetlands or other special aquatic sites are available only if the proposed work is the least environmentally damaging, practicable alternative. Please furnish information regarding any other alternatives, including upland alternatives, to the work for which you have applied and provide justification that your selected plan is the least damaging to water or wetland areas. b. It is necessary for you to have taken all appropriate and practical steps to minimize wetland losses. Please indicate all that you have done, especially regarding development and modification of plans and proposed construction techniques, to minimize adverse impacts. C. The MOA requires that appropriate and practical mitigation will be required for all unavoidable adverse impacts remaining after all appropriate and practical minimization has been employed. Please indicate your plan to mitigate for the projected, unavoidable loss of waters or wetlands or provide information as to the absence of any such appropriate and practical measures. This information is essential to our expeditious processing of your application and it should be forwarded to us by July 9, 1993. Also, a copy of 0. -2- this information must be sent to the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management to enable them to adequately evaluate your application for a Water Quality Certification pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Raleigh Bland, Washington Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone (919) 975-3694. Sincerely, G.

Your receipt of this letter verifies your acceptance of a valid request for certification in accordance with Section 325.2(b)(ii) of our administrative regulations. We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have determined that a water quality certification is required under the provisions of Section 401 of the same law. A Department of the Army permit will not be granted until the certification has been obtained or waived. In accordance with our administrative regulations, in most cases, 60 days after receipt of a request for certification is a reasonable time for State action. Therefore, if you have not acted on the request, or asked fur an extension of time, by August 9, 1993, the District Engineer will deem that waiver has occurred.

PROJECT SUMMARY: Applicant proposes to construct 325 ft. of wooden breakwater in 4 overlapping sections 15 ft. to 40 ft. offshore and fill 600 sq. ft. shoreline and re-establish marsh species on those areas. h, T: Ships Watch Association, Inc. Bio Report Page Two Site Description Ships Watch is an ocean to sound subdivision located on Highway 12 just north of l7uck in Dare County. The applicant Tim Buck I1, Ltd. currently manages the property at Ships Watch for the Ships Watch Association, Inc. In Article VI of the Declaration of Covenants for Ships Watch, Tim Buck II, Ltd. is identified as the Managing Agent and is given the Power of Attorney to act on behalf of the property owners of Ships Watch. The sound side property consists of three private lots with houses and a lot with the Ships Watch Management offices. The properties are currently owned by 15 different owners. A 200 ft. pier with a "T" head and a concrete boat rarnp are located on the Management offices property. A 6 ft. x 25 ft. dock is located on lot 52. Old asphalt riprap forms a low buffer along the shorelines of lots 52 and 53. The mowed yards of lots 50, 52, anci 53 slope gradually into a coastal wetland fringe which varies in width from 2-4 ft. near the boat ramp to 20-25 ft. at the northern property line. There may be Section 404 wetlands landward of the coastal marsh. Recent storms have caused 15-20 ft. deep erosion pockets into the yards of lots 52 and 53. Two erosion pockets, one near the boat ramp and the other around the small dock are currently lacking vegetation. The rest of the eroded area behind the riprap has been colonized by threesquare (Scirpus sp.). Black needlerush (Juncus ioernarianus) can be found along the waters edge growing between the riprap and forming a 2-5 ft. band the length of the property. The coastal marsh species on lot 50 are mixed with giant reed (Phra mites australis) near the northern property line. The near shore waters of Currituck Sound are very shallow, only 1-2 ft. deep at normal water level. With strong northeast winds the water blows out often leaving 20-30 ft. ()f bottom exposed. Submerged aquatic vegetation has been observed in the shallow waters offshore. The waters of Currituck Sound are classified as SC by the Division of Environmental Management. The applicant proposes to stabilize the shoreline by constructing 325 ft. of wooden breakwater and establishing wetland species in the unvegetated erosion pockets. The Breakwater is to be constructed in four 80 ft. long overlapping sections 15 ft. to 40 ft. offshore. The sections are to be staggered with 10 ft. wide openings between them to allow adequate water access for the property owners. The breakwater is proposed to be constructed with Ya to '/z inch gaps between 2 x 6 sheathing boards and 6 to 12 inches above normal water level. The applicant also proposes to fill the two unvegetated erosion pockets to the adjacent wetland elevation and plant marsh species to stabilize the fill material. v Ships Watch Association, Inc. Bio Report Page Three Anticipated Impacts The proposed breakwater will occupy approximately 162 sq. ft. of public trust waters. 'The 10 ft. gaps in the breakwater should provide adequate access to the public trust waters around the breakwater. The breakwater should protect the existing coastal marsh and possibly allow natural expansion of the marsh. The applicant also proposes to fill approximately 600 sq. ft. of unvegetated wetlands in two separate erosion pockets and then stabilize the material by planting marsh grasses. If care is taken in filling the erosion pockets there should not be any significant impacts to the adjacent wetlands, and the project should increase the total area of vegetated wetlands. The construction of the breakwater will likely increase water turbidity in the immediate sliallow water area during construction. _cAMA Review The estuarine waters, shoreline, and wetlands are listed in the Conservation Class of the Dare County Land Use Plan. A complete review will follow from Steve Gabriel. Submitted by: Peter B. Colwell bate: June 2, 1993 P16ase type or print.
