TO: ALL REVIEW AGENCIES
RE: STATE APPLICATION FOR WILAIIPNGTON RESOURCES, INC.
FROM: T. BARRETT
Please find enclosed a memorandum from Charlie Stehman and Jim Gregson from the DEM
regarding the submittal of information requested. The memorandum states that the information
submitted is adequate for evaluation of the project. The applicant has also changed the scope
of his application request, and has submitted a new application. This information was completed
on 1/3/95, giving the project a new projected decision date of 3/19/95.
I am enclosing a copy of the new application as well as a revised field report. Below is an
abbreviated version of the project revisions.
1) Maintenance dredging in the large basin will be limited to -20' mlw instead of -25' mlw.
Excavation in the small basin will be -10' mlw consistently. Spoil material will be trucked to
the spoil site across the railroad tracks (now 200' x 600') after being dewatered at two
temporary spoil areas. The temporary areas measure 100' x 100' and 100' x 200'. The two
other permanent spoil areas proposed have been eliminated. Excavation will occur by
clambucket to barge in the large basin, and dragline to high ground in the small basin.
2) The proposed new dolphins have been eliminated. The existing dolphins will now remain.
The pier originally proposed for removal will now remain (250' x 25'). The two work platforms
originally proposed have now been eliminated.
3) The applicant proposes the construction of two ramps with rails in the landward end of the
large basin. The ramps measure 150' x 75', and 100' x 50', and will have winches at the
landward end. The ramps will have a floor of rock, and will have concrete rails on which the
vessels rest. Retaining walls will be constructed along the sides of these structures. These
structures are necessary in order to remove the ship hulls as they are being cut. The concrete
rails on the larger ramp will extend approximately 60' from mean high water. On the smaller
ramp, they will extend approximately 20' from mean high water.
4) A railroad spur is to be constructed across the property, measuring approximately 850' x 16'.
This will be constructed on high ground with the exception of a 40 square foot pocket of
designated 404 wetlands. There is an existing crane way around the large basin. This 40' wide
berm is to be extended for 400', and maintained for the existing 650'. There is to be a 160' x
60' open storage building constructed. The existing parking areas are to be regraded and marl
placed on them.
Attached please find a modified field report reflecting the above changes to the application.

9. PROTECT DESCRIPTION 10/03/94
The project area is a 27 acre tract adjacent to the west side of the Northeast Cape Fear River,
approximately 1 mile north of the 3rd Street bridge on Highway 421 North. The property contains
several warehouse buildings, a small basin (A) - approximately 130' x 200', a large basin (B) -
approximately 280' x 750', a dock extending approximately 200' into the river, and 11 mooring
dolphins. The property averages 8' to 12' in elevation, is largely denuded from traffic, and supports
typical highground grasses and shrubs.
There is a fringe approximately 5' in width of Typha latifolia, Phrag_ ites australis and Iva frutescens
along the north side of the small basin. Spartina alterniflora lines the north side of the mouth of the
basin. Both basins have a 5'-7' escarpment. There are remains of a bulkhead around the back and
south side of the small basin. Soundings in the small basin indicate -5' to -8' water depth at low tide;
soundings in the large basin show -8"to -12' water depths connecting to a river depth of -26' mlw.
The existing business is serviced by a well and septic tank. Because the business has been operated as
one of marine salvaging and construction in the past, there is the possibility of toxins in the existing
bottom sediment. Preliminary discussions with representatives from the Division of Environmental
Management have revealed concern for the re-introduction of these hazardous materials into the system.
The Northeast Cape Fear River is a designated Primary Nursery Area at the project site. The Division
of Environmental Management classifies the water as C-swamp, and there is no shellfish resource this
far north in the river. The New Hanover County Land Use Plan classification for the project area is
Conservation.
The applicant is the Wilmington Resources, Inc., formerly known as Delta Marine, Inc. The company
is proposing the replacement of a non-functioning bulkhead, maintenance dredging of both basins, the
construction of a ramp and rail system, the construction of a railway system, and the construction of
a crane way.
Basin A is to be dredged to the dimensions of 200' x 100', with a finished depth of -10' mlw. This
excavation will avoid the wetland fringe on the north side. Basin B will be dredged to 750' in length,
240' in width, and to a finished depth grading from -12' at the landward end, to -20' at the waterward
end. This connects to a river depth of -26' mlw. This will constitute approximately 30,000 cubic yards
of sand and silt to be removed by dragline and clam bucket. Spoil will be placed within dike walls
toward the western edge of the property fronting highway 421 North. The spoil area measures 600'
x 200', and avoids the delineated wetlands in this area. The typical dike wall will be 12' high. This
area should have the capacity for approximately 53,000 cubic yards of material. There are two
temporary spoil areas along the basins, measuring 100' x 100', and 100' x 200'. Spoil will be carried
to the permanent diked area after dewatering in the temporary sites. The necessity for this effort is the
prevention of chloride intrusion into the surficial aquifer. This need was made apparent by the
Groundwater Section of the DEM.
There are two ramps proposed for the landward end of basin B. These measure approximately 150'
x 75' and 100' x 50'. They are to be underlain with rock, and contain concrete rails. The rails will
extend beyond mean high water approximately 20' on the smaller ramp, and approximately 60' from
mean high water on the larger ramp. The applicant proposes to place a retaining wall along the sides
of the ramp. Each will have a winch at the landward end.
A railroad spur is intended to cross the property, extending for 850' across high ground and a small
pocket (40 sf) of designated 404 wetlands. This structure will be approximately 16' in width. The
crane way around the large basin exists presently for approximately 650' x 40'. This portion will be
upgraded, and another 400 linear feet added.
A steel bulkhead is proposed for the back or western portion of the small basin, extending along the
southern edge and wrapping around the south east corner. Total linear footage on this structure is
approximately 300'. The wall alignment will be approximately 2' from mean high water.
Approximately 267 cubic yards of material will be needed for backfill. No wetlands, are to be
incorporated by this structure.
The existing work platform (250' x 25') and the existing dolphins in and out of the basin are to be
utilized as they exist. This platform extends approximately 200' into the river. There is a new storage
building proposed for the north side of the property measuring approximately 160' x 601. Existing
parking areas will be repaved and new marl placed for stabilization.
The intended use of the project will remain commercial. Specifically, the applicants propose a vessel
salvage and repair business.
10. ANTICIPATED DvIPACTS
The excavation portion of this project will disturb approximately 200,000 square feet of previously
dredged bottom area. This will remove approximately 30,000 cubic yards of sand and silt from the
system. The temporary and permanent spoil areas, in addition to the ramp system, the railway system,
the crane way, and the storage building will cause the filling of approximately 7.75 acres of high ground
as well as approximately 40 square feet of designated 404 wetlands. Temporary turbidity increases can
be expected during the excavation, which will be accomplished by dragline to truck, and clambucket
to barge.
The bulkhead will fill approximately 600 square feet of previously dredged basin area. The ramps will
fill approximately 3750 square feet of the same.
The primary anticipated impact from this project is not from the development but from the intended use.
Marina vessel salvage is an activity that must be exercised with upmost caution in order that toxic
materials be properly handled and not adversely effect the estuarine system. The applicant has included
a flow chart of the shipbreaking process to help detail the proposed activity.

Wilmington Regional Office
Subject: Wilmington Resources
New Hanover County
On December 12, 1994 the Wilmington Regional Office received a Memorandum from
Environmental Chemists, Inc., (Envirochem) transmitting the results. of chemical analysis of four
sediment samples taken from two basins proposed for dredging at the Wilmington Resources site
in New Hanover County. Basin sediment sample analyses were requested by the Wilmington
Regional Office as part of our review of the CAMA Major Permit Application.
Based on the sample results, the following additional comments are provided:
1. Data submitted will be sufficient to complete our review of the Subject dredging
project only if dredging in the basins is limited to removal of no more than four
feet of existing sediment. If this is the case, it is recommended that the applicant
submit a revised permit application containing new proposed dredging depths.
2. If the applicants propose to dredge the two basins to depths indicated in the
current permit application, additional sediment analysis would be required in
order for this Office to complete its review of the subject project.

Based on concerns that basin sediments could be contaminated with toxic metals, we
requested that the applicant perform sediment analysis of the material to be dredged from the
two basins. Sediment samples were to be collected in two foot increments down to the proposed
dredging depth and analyzed using TCLP for metals.
Sediment analysis the applicant provided to the Division on December 12, 1994 included data
from a series of four foot core samples. At that time the applicants were proposing to remove
as much as 14 feet of sediment in some areas.
Based on this data we provided comments to John Parker in a memo dated December 27,
1994 which stated that the data submitted by the applicant would be sufficient to complete our
review only if dredging in the two basins is limited to removal of no more than four feet of
existing sediment. If the applicants propose to dredge the two basins to depths indicated in the
October 5, 1994 CAMA Bio-Report, additional sediment analysis would be required for this
Office to complete its review of the subject project.
Nowhere in the current application package is it explicitly stated that the applicant intends to
remove four feet or less of accumulated sediment from the basins. Therefor the CAMA Permit
should contain a specific condition that no more than four feet of sediment can be removed from
either basin. Additionally the CAMA Permit conditions should reflect the Divisions
Groundwater comments in the February 2, 1995 letter from Charlie Stehman to Jim Gregson.

SUBJECT: Review of Proposed Dredging Project
Wilmington Resources
Wilmington
New Hanover County
The WiRO Groundwater Section has reviewed the subject application. Review of the analytical results
from the basin sediment indicates that metal concentrations are below the "hazardous" levels established by
the Toxicity Characteristic Leachate Procedure (TCLP), but several of compounds present have the potential
to violate groundwater standards. However, due to the close proximity of the temporary storage area and
permanent disposal area to wetlands and the Wilmington Resources boat basin, there appears to be very little
distance before groundwater found in the surficial aquifer would discharge into these features. The disposal
areas shown in the application are at least 100 feet from any well.
The Groundwater Section is concerned that the application states that "Temporary disposal areas, if
needed for dewatering of the material, are shown on the plan." The Section recommends that these temporary
areas be used so that free water in the spoil be drained off before it is moved to the final disposal area. We
also recommend that the final disposal area be limed immediately prior to the placement of the spoil and after
disposal (on top of the dredge material). A salt tolerant grass should be sowed over the spoil.
We appreciate the opportunity to comment on this project. If you have any questions concerning this
memo, please advise.

RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OR PERMIT RESTRICTIONS:
A site visit was conducted on October 11, 1994 with the applicants consultant, (Charlie
Hollis) and Charlie Stehman of the Groundwater Section. A follow-up meeting was held on
October 13, 1994 in the Wilmington Regional Office. The attendance roster for this meeting
is attached.
Based on the CAMA Bio-report and the October 11 site visit, significant water quality and
groundwater concerns were identified:
1. Due to the history of the site (decades of ship salvage and repair), there is a high
probability that the sediment in the basins to be dredged could be contaminated with toxic
metals. The applicants are proposing to use draglines and clam shell buckets to dredge
the basins. In some areas as much as 14' of sediment will have to be removed. The
Water Quality Section is concerned that toxic constituents will be resuspended during
dredging. The Groundwater Section is concerned that contaminates in the dredge spoil
disposal areas could be leached into the surficial aquifer. Please note that the project site
is located along the US Hwy 421 industrial corridor which is situated on a peninsula of
land formed at the confluence of the Cape Fear and the Northeast Cape Fear Rivers.
This area of New Hanover County depends on the surficial aquifer for water supply.
Here, the Castle Hayne Aquifer has been pinched off and the lower Pee Dee Aquifer is
brackish. Consequently, wells in this area are very shallow and easily contaminated. If
the large disposal area on the west side of the railroad right-of-way is to be used,
chloride contamination of the surficial aquifer would also be a concern.
2. Because demolition of the destroyers will occur while the ships are still in the water, the
possibility exists that material from cuttings, bilge water, etc., may be released into the
surface waters of the Northeast Cape Fear River.
3. During the site visit Charlie Hollis indicated that there was a approximately 100 cu. yd.
stockpile of petroleum contaminated soil on the site which was located in a proposed
dredge material disposal area. The Groundwater Section has no record of a release of
petroleum product at this site having been reported to this Division. Additionally, a a
permit application for the remediation of petroleum contaminated soil at this site has not
been received by this Office.
It
94845.Oct
Page Three
The above concerns as well as the following additional information needed from the applicant
were discussed during the October 13 meeting at the Wilmington Regional Office.
1. Sediment analysis of the material to be dredged from the two basins. Analysis should
include core samples from two locations in each basin; near the center of each basin
approximately 1/3 and 3/4 of the way into each basin. Each two feet of core sample
should be composited and analyzed using TCLP for metals. (For example: if the sample
station 2/3 of the way into the basin was currently 12' MLW and was to be dredged to
24' MLW, six two foot composites would need to be collected and analyzed)
2. A step by step procedure to be followed for dismantling the ships should be submitted
to this Office for review. Included in this should be an explanation of how material will
be prevented from reaching the surface waters during cutting and dismantling.
3. The Groundwater Section should be satisfied that the petroleum contaminated soil issue
is resolved and that the site where the release occurred has been determined to be clean.
This matter needs to be resolved prior to permitting the spoil disposal site located in this
area.
Until these issues are resolved, it is recommended that the project be placed on hold.

PROTOCOL FOR BASIN SAMPLING
On November 19, 1994 basin sediment samples were obtained
from Wilmington Resources site located at 2200 US Highway
421 North.
Samples were obtained using a 4 foot length of 14 inch PVC
pipe attached to a hollow handle. Sampler was driven at
least 4 feet into sediment, determined by measurement on
handle, using a hammer. The handle being hollow reduced
core compression and was capped off prior to removal to
prevent loss of core sample. After removing the 4 foot
14 inch PVC pipe from its handle, the entire core sample
was transferred to a container and placed in a cooler with
ice. A representative portion of each sample was analyzed
for metals by EPA Method 1311 for TCLP.
Samples were obtained from center (approximately 75 feet)
of large basin at 1/3 (approximately 230 feet) and 3/4
(approximately 525 feet)in from river. Samples were
obtained from center (approximately 50 feet) of small
basin at 1/3 (approximately 85 feet) and 3/4 (approximately
190 feet) in from the river. All core samples consisted of
a firm, uniform black silt type of material.

TO: ALL REVIEW AGENCIES
RE: STATE APPLICATION FOR WHAHNGTON RESOURCES, INC.
FROM: T. BARRETT
Please find enclosed a memorandum from Charlie Stehman and Jim Gregson from the DEM
regarding the submittal of information requested. The memorandum states that the information
submitted is adequate for evaluation of the project. The applicant has also changed the scope
of his application request, and has submitted a new application. This information was completed
on 1/3/95, giving the project a new projected decision date of 3/19/95.
I am enclosing a copy of the new application as well as a revised field report. Below is an
abbreviated version of the project revisions.
1) Maintenance dredging in the large basin will be limited to -20' mlw instead of -25' mlw.
Excavation in the small basin will be -10' mlw consistently. Spoil material will be trucked to
the spoil site across the railroad tracks (now 200' x 600') after being dewatered at two
temporary spoil areas. The temporary areas measure 100' x 100' and 100' x 200'. The two
other permanent spoil areas proposed have been eliminated. Excavation will occur by
clambucket to barge in the large basin, and dragline to high ground in the small basin.
2) The proposed new dolphins have been eliminated. The existing dolphins will now remain.
The pier originally proposed for removal will now remain (250' x 25'). The two work platforms
originally proposed have now been eliminated.
3) The applicant proposes the construction of two ramps with rails in the landward end of the
large basin. The ramps measure 150' x 75', and 100' x 50', and will have winches at the
landward end. The ramps will have a floor of rock, and will have concrete rails on which the
vessels rest. Retaining walls will be constructed along the sides of these structures. These
structures are necessary in order to remove the ship hulls as they are being cut. The concrete
rails on the larger ramp will extend approximately 60' from mean high water. On the smaller
ramp, they will extend approximately 20' from mean high water.
4) A railroad spur is to be constructed across the property, measuring approximately 850' x 16'.
This will be constructed on high ground with the exception of a 40 square foot pocket of
designated 404 wetlands. There is an existing crane way around the large basin. This 40' wide
berm is to be extended for 400', and maintained for the existing 650'. There is to be a 160' x
60' open storage building constructed. The existing parking areas are to be regraded and marl
placed on them.
Attached please find a modified field report reflecting the above changes to the application.

9. PROTECT DESCRIPTION 10/03/94
The project area is a 27 acre tract adjacent to the west side of the Northeast Cape Fear River,
approximately 1 mile north of the 3rd Street bridge on Highway 421 North. The property contains
several warehouse buildings, a small basin (A) - approximately 130' x 200', a large basin (B) -
approximately 280' x 750', a dock extending approximately 200' into the river, and 11 mooring
dolphins. The property averages 8' to 12' in elevation, is largely denuded from traffic, and supports
typical highground grasses and shrubs.
There is a fringe approximately 5' in width of Typha latifolia, Phra mites australis and Iva frutescens
along the north side of the small basin. Spartina alterniflora lines the north side of the mouth of the
basin. Both basins have a 5'-7' escarpment. There are remains of a bulkhead around the back and
south side of the small basin. Soundings in the small basin indicate -5' to -8' water depth at low tide;
soundings in the large basin show -8'-to -12' water depths connecting to a river depth of -26' mlw.
The existing business is serviced by a well and septic tank. Because the business has been operated as
one of marine salvaging and construction in the past, there is the possibility of toxins in the existing
bottom sediment. Preliminary discussions with representatives from the Division of Environmental
Management have revealed concern for the re-introduction of these hazardous materials into the system.
The Northeast Cape Fear River is a designated Primary Nursery Area at the project site. The Division
of Environmental Management classifies the water as C-swamp, and there is no shellfish resource this
far north in the river. The New Hanover County Land Use Plan classification for the project area is
Conservation.
The applicant is the Wilmington Resources, Inc., formerly known as Delta Marine, Inc. The company
is proposing the replacement of a non-functioning bulkhead, maintenance dredging of both basins, the
construction of a ramp and rail system, the construction of a railway system, and the construction of
a crane way.
Basin A is to be dredged to the dimensions of 200' x 100', with a finished depth of -10' mlw. This
excavation will avoid the wetland fringe on the north side. Basin B will be dredged to 750' in length,
240' in width, and to a finished depth grading from -12' at the landward end, to -20' at the waterward
end. This connects to a river depth of -26' mlw. This will constitute approximately 30,000 cubic yards
of sand and silt to be removed by dragline and clam bucket. Spoil will be placed within dike walls
toward the western edge of the property fronting highway 421 North. The spoil area measures 600'
x 200', and avoids the delineated wetlands in this area. The typical dike wall will be 12' high. This
area should have the capacity for approximately 53,000 cubic yards of material. There are two
temporary spoil areas along the basins, measuring 100' x 100', and 100' x 200'. Spoil will be carried
to the permanent diked area after dewatering in the temporary sites. The necessity for this effort is the
prevention of chloride intrusion into the surficial aquifer. This need was made apparent by the
Groundwater Section of the DEM.
There are two ramps proposed for the landward end of basin B. These measure approximately 150'
x 75' and 100' x 50'. They are to be underlain with rock, and contain concrete rails. The rails will
0% b .k
extend beyond mean high water approximately 20' on the smaller ramp, and approximately 60' from
mean high water on the larger ramp. The applicant proposes to place a retaining wall along the sides
of the ramp. Each will have a winch at the landward end.
A railroad spur is intended to cross the property, extending for 850' across high ground and a small
pocket (40 sf) of designated 404 wetlands. This structure will be approximately 16' in width. The
crane way around the large basin exists presently for approximately 650' x 40'. This portion will be
upgraded, and another 400 linear feet added.
A steel bulkhead is proposed for the back or western portion of the small basin, extending along the
southern edge and wrapping around the south east corner. Total linear footage on this structure is
approximately 300'. The wall alignment will be approximately 2' from mean high water.
Approximately 267 cubic yards of material will be needed for backfill. No wetlands are to be
incorporated by this structure.
The existing work platform (250' x 25') and the existing dolphins in and out of the basin are to be
utilized as they exist. This platform extends approximately 200' into the river. There is a new storage
building proposed for the north side of the property measuring approximately 160' x 60'. Existing
parking areas will be repaved and new marl placed for stabilization.
The intended use of the project will remain commercial. Specifically, the applicants propose a vessel
salvage and repair business.
10. ANTICIPATED EMPACTS
The excavation portion of this project will disturb approximately 200,000 square feet of previously
dredged bottom area. This will remove approximately 30,000 cubic yards of sand and silt from the
system. The temporary and permanent spoil areas, in addition to the ramp system, the railway system,
the crane way, and the storage building will cause the filling of approximately 7.75 acres of high ground
as well as approximately 40 square feet of designated 404 wetlands. Temporary turbidity increases can
be expected during the excavation, which will be accomplished by dragline to truck, and clambucket
to barge.
The bulkhead will fill approximately 600 square feet of previously dredged basin area. The ramps will
fill approximately 3750 square feet of the same.
The primary anticipated impact from this project is not from the development but from the intended use.
Marina vessel salvage is an activity that must be exercised with upmost caution in order that toxic
materials be properly handled and not adversely effect the estuarine system. The applicant has included
a flow chart of the shipbreaking process to help detail the proposed activity.

caused some negative agency attitudes, but to the credit of the state
staff, we have experienced a high level of cooperation and guidance
throughout the permit process.
We recognize that we may have been presumptious to expect our

1. WRI is having core samples taken from the areas where
dredging is contemplated for both the main slip and the small barge slip
which are part of the property. The results of these tests will be
forwarded to you upon completion of the analyses.
2. Core samples will be taken from the proposed disposal site to
determine if there is any existing petroleum contamination or other
hazardous material at this site. This data will also be forwarded to your
off ice.

I In regard to prevent material entering the water during cutting
and dismantling, we will take the following precautions:
(A) All hazardous materials such as asbestos and PCB(s)
are removed from the slip before dismantling begins.
(B) Oils are removed from the vessel, including hydraulic
oils, tube oils and fuels in the bunker tanks. The
tanks are cleaned with a biodegradable cleaning
solution and further checked as each portion of
the ship is cut
(C) We built a barge (with collection pans on it), which
sets alongside the ship to collect slag which might
come off the vessel during cutting procedures.
The bottom of the vessel is pulled up on land by a winching system.
Our management staff has been cutting ships for over 20 years
and does so in an environmentally dean and responsible manner.
I have attached a brief diagram of the cutting procedure that
might be useful in explaining our process.
Please do not hesitate to give us a call if you have any questions.

DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
NIE MORANDUM
Date: December 27, 1994
To: John Parker
Division of Coastal Management
From: James H. son & Charlie Stehman Wilmington Regional Office 10
Subject: Wilmington Resources
New Hanover County
On December 12, 1994 the Wilmington Regional Office received a Memorandum from
Environmental Chemists, Inc., (Envirochem) transmitting the results of chemical analysis of four
sediment samples taken from two basins proposed for dredging at the Wilmington Resources site
in New Hanover County. Basin sediment sample analyses were requested by the Wilmington
Regional Office as part of our review of the CAMA Major Permit Application.
Based on the sample results, the following additional comments are provided:
Data submitted will be sufficient to complete our review of the Subject dredging
project only if dredging in the basins is limited to removal of no more than four
feet of existing sediment. If this is the case, it is recommended that the applicant
submit a revised permit application containing new proposed dredging depths.
2. If the applicants propose to dredge the two basins to depths indicated in the
current permit application, additional sediment analysis would be required in
order for this Office to complete its review of the subject project.

Dear Mr. Skinner:

NOV 1 71994
This letter is in reference to your application for permits under the Coastal Area
Management Act (CAMA) and the state dredge and fill law to renovate a marine salvage facility
on the Northeast Cape Fear River. As you will recall, the application was accepted for
processing on October 4. Approximately half of the state agencies that review CAMA permit
applications have commented to date. Several of the respondents are looking to this office to
request additional information of you, the applicant. And we received formal notification from
the Division of Environmental Management on November 1 of that agency's need for sediment
analysis of ' the basin, discussion of spoil area contamination, and containment during the
dismantling procedure. Expanding on the latter, is a dry dock operation with appropriate
containment and clean up proposed? If not, please explain how it is possible to prevent spills,
debris and particulate matter from going overboard? The Division of Coastal Management is
also in need of such information and supports the request of DEM. Therefore, under the rules
of the Coastal Resources Commission, application processing is placed in abeyance until that
information is received and determined to be complete and accurate.
In addition to the information covered in detail in the November 1 letter from Mr. John
Dorney of DEM, this office requests that you clarify the corporate relationship between Delta
Marine and Wilmington Resources. The information available at this time clearly indicates that
Delta Marine is the property owner. Since CAMA permits are most often issued to the owner,
at the very least we require written permission from Delta Marine for Wilmington Resources to
apply for permits and carry out specified work.
Finally, inasmuch as the state is reviewing its authority and responsibility in preventing
undue usurpation of public trust waters, it is recommended that additional vessels not be moved
into the River or other waters of the state at this time. And in order that we may conclude such
review, it is requested that you also inform this office of the operational status of the vessels.
In the simplest of terms, with proper crew aboard, can the ships be moved under their own
power.

by Wilmington Resources Inc.
Dear Mr. Parker.

NOV 2 9 1994
,
At this time the following modifications are being proposed for
development or re-establishment at the Northeast Cape Fear River Site
of Wilmington Resources Inc. An overall site map is attached as
Enclosure (1).
1. LOCATION "A":
At the northwest end of Basin "A", we propose to build an inclined
earthen ramp 75 ft. wide at the high water line, narrowing to 60 ft in
width at the western extremity 150 ft. away. At this extremity, we will
install a winch mechanism on steel piling to be used for palling the
remaining hull bottoms to dry land for final dismantling.
2. 1,QCATION "B":
At the southwest end of the Basin we propose to build a smaller
earthen ramp 50 ft. wide at the high water line by 25 ft. in width at the
western extremity 100 ft. away. A winch mechanism will also be
installed here for dry-hauling smaller hull bottoms.
11/22/94 16:06 V410 964 0043 AMER GEN RES 0001/001
-2-
3. LOCATION "C"•
We propose to build a bulkhead on dry laud along the north edge
of the Basin alongside the crane roadway. This bulkhead will be of "H"
pile and treated timber construction.
4. CRANE ROADWAY:
We propose to rebuild existing earthen crane roadway for use by
our cranes along the western extent of the Basin and work area.
Enclosure (2) shows that this roadway was in place and use in 1973.
Enclosures (3) & (4) (1986 & 1990), indicate less definition of
roadway through lack of use by property owner.
Bear in mind this property has been in continuous industrial and
marine use since the early 1900(s).
5. LOCATION "D":
We propose to install a railroad spur from existing CSX line
through our property. This work will be done entirely outside the 75 ft
estuarine set back area and does not involve any wetland.
This area has been engineered and submitted to same for
construction..
6. BASIN "B":
Basin "B" has an existing dilapidated bulkhead along its southern
edge. We propose to rebuild this timber bulkhead in its present
configuration.
-3-
7. LOCATION "E:
Sediment analyses have been made in both Basins. Results of
these analyses will be forwarded as soon as received in our office.
Wetland (Location "E"} will be submitted for wetland fill as soon
as a permit is granted.
8. OTHER PROPOSED WOM
All other proposed work involves rebuilding/repairing existing
structures.
We trust that this outline adequately defines the ongoing work we
propose at the Northeast Cape Fear River site.
As indicated previously, it is our intention to have an
environmentally sound operation and to conduct our efforts in strict
accordance with all pertinent regulations.
Should you have any questions or suggestions, we would welcome
your comments.

Dear Mr. Wicker:
Thank you for your letter of October 27, 1994, regarding the application
of Wilmington Resources, Incorporated (Sigma Marine, Incorporated), for
Department of the Army (DA) authorization to maintain barge slips, construct
and backfill bulkheads and replace, repair, and upgrade dolphins on the
Northeast Cape Fear River, north of Wilmington, New Hanover County, North
Carolina. We appreciate your interest and concern.
Presently, information and evidence is being complied by Federal and
State review agencies. Whether State water quality standards might be
degraded, as a result of activity permitted by permits or associated vessel
salvage operations, is being examined by the North Carolina Division of
Coastal Management and the U.S. Environmental Agency (EPA). Whether the
Primary Nursery Area or fish and wildlife values might be adversely impacted
is being evaluated by the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service. For
these agencies, review, a consultant is providing specific information
regarding existing bottom sediments and handling of toxic materials during
vessel salvage operations.
Public hearings are held to acquire information or evidence for us to
evaluate an application and/or to obtain views, opinions or other information
from the public. They are held, when deemed necessary to assist our decision
on an application. Presently, a public hearing would be premature as data,
necessary for adequate review, is expected from the applicant, consultants and
State and Federal agencies. Also, our public notice, of September 29, 1994,
has solicited public concerns. Your request for a public hearing will be
given further consideration as the application process continues.

Again, thank you for your letter. You will be kept informed regarding
our handling of this application. At any time, your questions or comments may
be addressed to Messrs. Jeff Richter, Ernest Jahnke or Clifford Winefordner,

Dear Sirs;
Re: Maintenance dredging and bulkhead repair
Application for 401 Water Quality Certification
for CAMA Permit
DEM # 94845, COE # 199404470
Fitt- COPY
On 29 September 1994, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers published a Public Notice
for a 404 Permit for your proposed maintenance dredging of basins, dolphin replacement,
work platform construction and bulkhead repair for your vessel salvage, repair and
construction activities. The Division of Coastal Management is also reviewing the project for
a CAMA Permit. Both Permits require a 401 Water Quality Certification from the N.C.
Division of Environmental Management since fill of waters is required. A 401 Water quality
Certification is a statement that water quality standard will not be violated. According to the
Clean Water Act, this Certification must be issued before either the 404 or CAMA Permits
can be issued.
Before we can make this determination for you project, some additional information
will be required as outlined below. Since insufficient information exists upon which to make
a 401 decision, I hereby request that the Division of Coastal Management and U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers place your project on hold until that information is available.
We are concerned about the chemical nature of the sediments in the basin proposed to
be dredged. In order to determine whether water quality standards would be violated,
sediment analyses must be done on the material from the basins. Core samples shall be taken
from two locations in each basin; near the center approximately 1/3 and 3/4 of the way into
each basin. Each two feet of core sample shall be composited and analyzed using TCLP
method (Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure) for metals. These data will allow us to
determine appropriate special design criteria (if any) for the dredging and disposal sites.

The proposed disposal site apparently has been contaminated with petroleum. We are
concerned that if spoil is added to this site, it will force the petroleum products into the
surface water or nearby drinking water wells. Before this site can be approved for disposal,
the DEM Groundwater Section in the Wilmington Regional Office must have sufficient
information to assure that the site is clean.
Finally, we are concerned about material entering surface water during the cutting and
dismantling of the vessels. Please provide a description of procedures to be followed to
prevent surface water contamination.
I can be reached at 919-733-1786. Mr. Jim Gregson in the Wilmington Regional
Office (910-395-3900) is also familiar with this project and can be reached for questions.

RECON51ENDED CONDITIONS OR PERMIT RESTRICTIONS:
A site visit was conducted on October 11, 1994 with the applicants consultant, (Charlie
Hollis) and Charlie Stehman of the Groundwater Section. A follow-up meeting was held on
October 13, 1994 in the Wilmington Regional Office. The attendance roster for this meeting
is attached.
Based on the CAMA Bio-report and the October 11 site visit, significant water quality and
groundwater concerns were identified:
1. Due to the history of the site (decades of ship salvage and repair), there is a high
probability that the sediment in the basins to be dredged could be contaminated with toxic
metals. The applicants are proposing to use draglines and clam shell buckets to dredge
the basins. In some areas as much as 14' of sediment will have to be removed. The
Water Quality Section is concerned that toxic constituents will be resuspended during
dredging. The Groundwater Section is concerned that contaminates in the dredge spoil
disposal areas could be leached into the surficial aquifer. Please note that the project site
is located along the US Hwy 421 industrial corridor which is situated on a peninsula of
land formed at the confluence of the Cape Fear and the Northeast Cape Fear Rivers.
This area of New Hanover County depends on the surficial aquifer for water supply.
Here, the Castle Hayne Aquifer has been pinched off and the lower Pee Dee Aquifer is
brackish. Consequently, wells in this area are very shallow and easily contaminated. If
the large disposal area on the west side of the railroad right-of-way is to be used,
chloride contamination of the surficial aquifer would also be a concern.
2. Because demolition of the destroyers will occur while the ships are still in the water, the
possibility exists that material from cuttings, bilge water, etc., may be released into the
surface waters of the Northeast Cape Fear River.
3. During the site visit Charlie Hollis indicated that there was a approximately 100 cu. yd.
stockpile of petroleum contaminated soil on the site which was located in a proposed
dredge material disposal area. The Groundwater Section has no record of a release of
petroleum product at this site having been reported to this Division. Additionally, a a
permit application for the remediation of petroleum contaminated soil at this site has not
been received by this Office.

94845.Oct
Page Three
The above concerns as well as the following additional information needed from the applicant
were discussed during the October 13 meeting at the Wilmington Regional Office.
1. Sediment analysis of the material to be dredged from the two basins. Analysis should
include core samples from two locations in each basin; near the center of each basin
approximately 1/3 and 3/4 of the way into each basin. Each two feet of core sample
should be composited and analyzed using TCLP for metals. (For example: if the sample
station 2/3 of the way into the basin was currently 12' MLW and was to be dredged to
24' MLW, six two foot composites would need to be collected and analyzed)
2. A step by step procedure to be followed for dismantling the ships should be submitted
to this Office for review. Included in this should be an explanation of how material will
be prevented from reaching the surface waters during cutting and dismantling.
3. The Groundwater Section should be satisfied that the petroleum contaminated soil issue
is resolved and that the site where the release occurred has been determined to be clean.
This matter needs to be resolved prior to permitting the spoil disposal site located in this
area.
Until these issues are resolved, it is recommended that the project be placed on hold.

•--- WETI?i?? ?.
Enclosed is the application of Wilmington Resources, Incorporated (Sigma
Marine, Incorporated), represented by Mr. Charlie Hollis, for Department of
the Army authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to maintain
barge slips, construct and backfill bulkheads and replace, repair, and upgrade
dolphins on the Northeast Cape Fear River, north of Wilmington, New Hanover
County, North Carolina. 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 for an
extension of time, by November 7, 1994, the District Engineer will deem that
waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Jeffery Richter, Wilmington
Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone].

WGUUTORY Raw
Attached is an application for Corps and CAMA permits for:
1. Repair and replacement and upgrading of tie-dolphins,
2. Replacement of pilings,
3. Repair and replacement of bulkhead; and
4. Maintenance dredging of two existing barge slips
5. Construction of two work platforms
in behalf of Wilmington Resources, Inc. (formerly Delta Marine, Inc.),
operating agent for Sigma Marine, Inc. located at 2200 U.S. Highway 421
North (P.O. Box 2140), Wilmington, N.C. 28402.
The site of this work is at the existing yard of the former Delta
Marine, Inc. (previously Somersett, Atkinson, Wickstrom, etc.). This
work is primarily maintenance, repair and replacement of existing
facilities and the maintenance dredging of the two existing barge slips.
The existing facilities and barge slips have been present and in use for
more than 30 years as evidenced by Corps of Engineer Permit No. 21-63
issued in 1963 for improvement of existing facilities at the site.
Page 2
New work will consist of removal of the existing cellular dolphins
(permitted in 1963) and their replacement with traditional pile-cluster
dolphins in the same location. New work will also consist of the
construction of two filled work platforms along the edge of the existing
larger barge slip. Work platforms have previously consisted of floating
barges somewhat permanently anchored along the slip edge. The proposed
new work platforms will each measure 100 feet long and extend 20 feet
from the upper edge of the slip. They will consist of steel sheet-pile
cells filled with a sand/rock/concrete mixture so as to provide a stable
and strong platform for cranes and other equipment working alongside
vessels floating in the slip. There is no grass or other vegetation to
be filled.
Maintenance work includes the replacement of a failed bulkhead
along two sides of the smaller barge slip. The existing broken bulkhead
will be removed and a new sheet-pile bulkhead installed.
Maintenance dredging is proposed for both barge slips. The smaller
slip is to be dredged to a depth of 12 feet mlw and the larger slip to a
depth of 25 feet mlw at its riverward end, tapering to 0 feet at its
landward end. All dredging will be done with draglines, backhoes,
and/or clamshells. All dredged material will be deposited into diked
high-ground disposal areas located onsite on the applicant's property.
These areas will be leveled and grassed when the dredged material has
dried sufficiently to allow such work.
Request for sedimentation and erosion control permits are being
prepared for submittal to New Hanover County; a copy will be provided to
you.
It is requested that this request be given your earliest attention.
Ongoing vessel salvage and other work is proceeding only by forcing the
vessels into the slips at high tide creating a somewhat unstable
situation since the vessels can then not be easily moved again.
Commencement of this work will occur immediately upon approval of
these requested permits.
Please contact me if additional information is needed or if you
have any questions.

PUBLIC NOTICE
WILMINGTON HARBOR, New Hanover County, North Carolina.
SIGMA MARINA, INCORPORATED/WILMINGTON RESOURCES,
INCORPORATED, 2200 U.S. Highway 421 North, Post Office Box 2140,
Wilmington, North Carolina 28492, has applied for a Department
of the Army (DA) permit TO MAINTAIN/DEEPEN TWO BASINS, REPLACE
DOLPHINS, CONSTRUCT AND BACKFILL TWO (2) WORK PLATFORMS AND
REPAIR AND BACKFILL BULKHEADS ON THE NORTHEAST CAPE FEAR RIVER,
The following description of the work is taken from data
provided by the applicant and from observations made during a
site visit by a representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans
submitted with the application show proposed excavation, using
draglines, backhoes and/or clamshells, in two (2), manmade
basins. The 240-foot-wide, 750-foot-long basin is to be
excavated to 25 feet, mean low water (MLW). The 100-foot-wide,
240-foot basin is to be excavated to twelve (12) feet MLW. The
depths in both basins are to taper to the MLW elevation contour
at the landward ends. The approximate 50,000 cubic yards of
material, excavated from the basins, is to be placed in
highground retention areas on the applicant's property. Existing
cellular dolphins are to be replaced with pile-cluster dolphins.
Existing floating barges along the edge of the larger slip are to
be replaced with two (2) filled, 20-foot-wide, 100-foot-long work
platforms. The platforms are to be constructed using sheet-pile
cells backfilled with sand, rock and or concrete. Within the
smaller basin, deteriorated perimeter bulkheads are to be
replaced with sheet-pile structures. The purpose of the work is
to improve facilities for vessel salvage, repair and construction
activities. Plans showing the work are included with this public
notice.

{

The applicant has determined that the proposed work is
consistent with the North Carolina Coastal Zone Management Plan
and has submitted this determination to the North Carolina
Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM) for their review and
concurrence. This proposal shall be reviewed for the
applicability of other actions by North Carolina agencies such
as:
a. The issuance of a Water Quality Certification under
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act by the North Carolina Division
of Environmental Management (NCDEM).
b. The issuance of a permit to dredge and/or fill under
North Carolina General Statute 113-229 by the North Carolina
Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM).
C. The issuance of a permit under the North Carolina Coastal
Area Management Act (LAMA) by the North Carolina Division of
Coastal Management (NCDCM) or their delegates.
d. The issuance of an easement to fill or otherwise occupy
State-owned submerged land under North Carolina General Statute
143-341(4), 146-6, 146-11, and 146-12 by the North Carolina
Department of Administration (NCDA) and the North Carolina
Council of State.
e. The approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan
by the Land Quality Section, North Carolina Division of Land
Resources (NCDLR), pursuant to the State Sedimentation Pollution
Control Act of 1973 (NC G.S. 113 A-50-66).
The requested Department of the Army (DA) permit will be
denied if any required State or local authorization and/or
certification is denied. No DA permit will be issued until a
State coordinated viewpoint is received and reviewed by this
agency. Recipients of this notice are encouraged to furnish
comments on factors of concern represented by the above agencies
directly to the respective agency, with a copy furnished to the
Corps of Engineers.

3
Approval of this permit will give Federal authorization for
maintenance dredging for a period of time not to exceed 10 years
from the date of permit issuance. The permittee will be required
to present plans to the District Engineer a minimum of 2 weeks
prior to commencement of such maintenance work. All maintenance
would be performed in accordance with Federal, State, and local
permits and regulations governing such activities at the time the
maintenance is undertaken.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 10
of the River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403) and Section
404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may
request, in writing within the comment period specified in this
notice, that a public hearing be held to consider this
application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with
particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.
The District Engineer has consulted the latest published
version of the National Register of Historic Places for the
presence or absence of registered properties, or properties
listed as being eligible for inclusion therein, and this site is
not registered property or property listed as being eligible for
inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register
constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the
District Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the presence of
such resources. Presently, unknown archeological, scientific,.
prehistorical, or historical data may be lost or destroyed by
work under the requested permit.
The District Engineer, based on available information, is not
aware that the proposed activity will affect species, or their
critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened pursuant
to the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an
evaluation of the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts,
of the proposed activity and its intended use on the public
interest. Evaluation of the probable impacts which the proposed
activity may have on the public interest requires a careful
weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each
4
particular case. The benefits which reasonably may be expected
to accrue from the proposal must be balanced against its
reasonably foreseeable detriments. The decision whether to
authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which it
will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome
of the general balancing process. That decision should reflect
the national concern for both protection and utilization of
important resources. All factors which may be relevant to the
proposal must be considered including the cumulative effects
thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics,
general environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish
and wildlife values, flood hazards and flood plain values (in
accordance with Executive Order 11988), land use, navigation,
shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and
conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber
production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership,
and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For
activities involving the placement of dredged or fill materials
in waters of the United States, a permit will be denied if the
discharge that would be authorized by such permit would not
comply with the Environmental Protection Agencies' 404(b)(1)
guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any other
applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted
unless the District Engineer determines that it would be contrary
to the public interest.
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the
public; Federal, State and local agencies and officials; Indian
Tribes and other interested parties in order to consider and
evaluate the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments
received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers to
determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit
for this proposal. To make this decision, comments are used to
assess impacts on endangered species, historic properties, water
quality, general environmental effects and the other public
interest factors listed above. Comments are used in the
preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Comments are also used to
determine the need for a public hearing and to determine the
overall public interest of the proposed activity.

5
Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of
the Army (DA) permit will not be made until the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM) issues, denies, or
waives State certification required by Section 401 of the Clean
Water Act. The NCDEM considers whether or not the proposed
activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the
Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the
Department of the Army (DA) permit serves as application to the
NCDEM for certification.
Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act
certification may be reviewed at the offices of the Environmental
Operations Section, North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (NCDEM), Salisbury Street, Archdale Building, Raleigh,
North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished to
any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs.
The North Carolina Division of Environmental Management
(NCDEM) plans to take final action in the issuance of the Clean
Water Act certification on or after November 14, 1994.
All persons desiring
application for Clean Wa-
writing delivered to the
Management (NCDEM), Post
Carolina 27611-7687, on
Mr. John Dorney.
to make comments regarding the
ter Act certification should do so in

9. PROTECT DESCRIPTION 10/03/94
The project area is a 27 acre tract adjacent to the west side of the Northeast Cape Fear River, approximately
1 mile north of the 3rd Street bridge on Highway 421 North. The property contains several warehouse
buildings, a small basin (A) - approximately 130' x 200', a large basin (B) - approximately 280' x 750', a dock
extending approximately 200' into the river, and 11 mooring dolphins. The property averages 8' in elevation,
is largely denuded from traffic, and supports typical highground grasses and shrubs.
There is a fringe approximately 5' in width of T ha latifoli a, Phragmites australis and Iva frutescens along
the north side of the small basin. Spartin_a alterniflora lines the north side of the mouth of the basin. Both
basins have a 5'-7' escarpment. There are remains of a bulkhead around the back and south side of the small
basin. Soundings in the small basin indicate 5' to 8' of water at low tide; soundings in the large basin show -
8' to -12' water depths connecting to a river depth of -26' mlw. o
uA
The existing business is serviced by a well and septic tank. Because thinmentaI ' ess has been operated as marine
salvaging and construction in the past, there is the possibility of tin the existing bottom sediment.
Preliminary discussions with representatives from the Division of En Management have revealed
concern for the re-introduction of these hazardous materials into the system.
The Northeast Cape Fear River is a designated Primary Nursery Area at the project site. The Division of
Environmental Management classifies the water as C-swamp, and there is no shellfish resource this far north
in the river. The New Hanover County Land Use Plan Classification for the project area is Conservation.
The applicant is the Wilmington Resources, Inc., formerly known as Delta Marine, Inc. The company is
proposing the replacement of dolphins and pilings, the replacement of a non- functioning bulkhead, maintenance
dredging of both basins, and the construction of two solid work platforms.
Basin A is to be dredged to the dimensions of 200' x 1001, with a finished depth of -12' mlw. This excavation
will avoid the wetland fringe on the north side. Basin B will be dredged to 750' in length, 240' in width, and
a finished depth grading from the current depth of -8' at the landward end, to -25' at the waterward end. This
connects to a river depth of -26' mlw. This will constitute approximately 50,000 cubic yards of sand and silt
to be removed by dragline or backhoe. Spoil will be placed within three sets of dike walls - toward the western
edge of the property fronting highway 421 North, to the west and northwest of the large basin, and to the small
area between the two basins. The three spoil sites measure 650' x 300', 500' x 250', and 150' x 200'
respectively. The typical dike wall will be 12' high. These areas should be able to contain approximately
155,554 cubic yards of material, or approximately 3 times the amount of proposed excavated material. The
property has been surveyed for 404 wetlands which occur at the far western portion of the lot. All fill is to
avoid this area. .
A steel bulkhead is proposed for the back or western portion of the small basin, extending along the southern
edge and wrapping around the south east comer. Total linear footage on this structure is approximately 300'.
The wall alignment will be approximately 2' from mean high water. Approximately 267 cubic yards of
material will be needed for backfill. No wetlands are to be incorporated by this structure.
The applicant proposes the construction of two work platforms along the north side of the large basin. These
platforms are both to be 100' x 35' in size, with 20' of the width extending below mean high water. The
platforms are not to be pile supported, but steel sheet cells filled with concrete. The steel sheeting is
tantamount to a bulkhead arranged in a rectangular shape. Approximately 600 cubic yards of material is
anticipated for this use. The structures are intended to support the weight of construction equipment.
Lastly, the applicant proposes the removal of the existing work platform, or dock, and replacement with
mooring dolphins. There will be a finished total of 9 mooring dolphins, rather than the 11 existing. The
dolphins will be placed within the large basin, and along the shore between the basins approximately 150' from
the shoreline. This distance is approximately 100' from the federally maintained channel.
The intended use of the project will remain commercial. Specifically, the applicants propose a vessel salvage
and repair business.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The excavation portion of this project will disturb approximately 200,000 square feet of previously dredged
bottom area. This will remove approximately 50,000 cubic yards of sand and silt from the system. The spoil
areas along with the high ground portion of the work platforms will cause the fill of approximately 8.1 acres
of high ground. Temporary turbidity increases can be expected during the excavation, which will be
accomplished by dragline or backhoe to high ground or barge.
The work platforms will cause the fill of approximately 4,000 square feet of previously dredged basin area.
The bulkhead will fill approximately 600 square feet of same.
The mooring dolphins will incorporate approximately 1.8 acres of public trust area, approximately 1,400 square
feet of which is within a man made high ground basin.
The primary anticipated impact from this project is not from the development but from the intended use.
Marina vessel salvage is an activity that must be exercised with upmost caution in order that toxic materials
be properly handled and not effect the estuarine system.
