Proposed Dredging of Access Channel
Swansboro Coast Guard Station
Carteret County

TO:

FROM:

This memo will serve to confirm the discussion between
us on March 21, 1986 concerning the Subject access channel
dredging. It is our understanding that the Corps plans to
include this work in the existing permit that was issued to
the Coast Guard for the complete channel dredging operation.
We further understand that the spoil is to be discharged to
adequate diked spoil disposal areas.

On the basis of the above we agree that the project
will not create water quality problems and can be considered
certified under our general certification for diked upland
disposal.

1. As discussed in reference fa), the Coast Guard requests
emergency authorization to perform dredging at U.S. Coast Guard
Station Swansboro.

2. A Corps of Engineers survey 'performed 13 Decem1er 1985 revceled
the need to remove 18,000 cubic yards of silty sRnd from the area
shown in red on the attached plot plan.

3. The area is approximately 925 feet long and is between channel
r.1arker 1 and 3. The existi.ng water depth is approxirae..tely 2 to 3
feet at mean low \-later. Our 30 foot vessels Cllnnot transit this
area and are required to tie up in the tov."11 of S"'~ansboro. This
causes an unacceptable increase in travel time when responding to
search and rescue missions.

fl. The Coast Guard \vil1 only perform emergency dredging at this
time. The drecging will only be performed in the area stated
previously. The channel \';i1l be brought back to a depth of 6 feet
at mesn 10'\oJ' water and will have a bottom width of 90 feet.

5. Th,e northern port ion of the channel shown en this plot p Ian of
the proposed dredging is no longer used by the Coast Guard due to
frequent shoaling.

6. t.:r. Steve Benton of the North Carolina IS Oifice of Coastal
Management has been contacted concerning this emergency situation.
The prcject \\'i11 be performed in e..ccorcance 'with North CClrolin& I s
Coastal Lanagement prograI:'.

7 . T~1e emergen.cy dredging will be clone by the Corps of Engineers
8nd the preeent Corps of Engineers dispose1 site ,.;il1 be used. The
(orrs of Engineers anticipates dredging in S~Bnsboro Inlet in April
1986.
