8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The NC Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF) proposes to
enhance Artificial Reef -197 (AR -197) through the placement of up to 2,000 tons of #4
size granite rock.
Project Setting
AR -197 is located at 350 57.110' N, -75° 42.337' W or ±1.5 nautical miles NE of Northwest
Point on Roanoke Island, within the Roanoke Sound, Dare County. The reef is 38.79 acres in
size and was originally permitted by the USACE in 1987. At that time, the reef was constructed
using tires, which remain on the site. The limits of AR -197 are currently marked with four 13"
spar buoys. MLW depth is 10 feet and navigational clearance is listed as 6 feet. A sidescan
survey of the site showed no existing shellfish resource or submerged aquatic vegetation in the
sandy substrate.

Development Proposal
The NCDMF proposes to add up to 2,000 tons of #4 size granite rock to AR -197. This
development is planned to occur within a 5.26 -acre portion of the 38.79 -acre site.
The granite rock will be loaded onto a self-propelled barge at a stockpile site located at the
Wanchese industrial park and then transported to the reef. The barge is equipped with a water
monitor which will be used to spray the rock off the deck onto the water bottom. It is expected
that the granite rock will be washed at the quarry to reduce the likelihood of turbidity.
The area of water bottom that the rock will be placed measures ±750 feet x 300 feet. The rock
will be placed in scattered mounds measuring up to 2 feet tall, leaving 8 feet of vertical
clearance for navigation. A 100 -foot buffer has been established around the development area
to insure no material is placed outside of the reef boundary.
Anticipated Impacts
The project as proposed will result in the filling of ±229,126 ft' (5.26 acres) of water bottom
within the Public Trust Area and Estuarine Waters AEC's. Temporary water turbidity will occur
during rock placement.

STEPHEN W.MURPHEY
Dir'ecrw'
The North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF) Artificial Reef Program has
been formally operating since the 1970's and manages 68 artificial reefs and oyster sanctuaries.
Twenty-five (25) of these sites are located in estuarine waters, and the remaining 43 are in ocean
waters. In 2016, the NCDMF released an artificial reef guide which outlines each of the artificial
reefs and oyster sanctuaries. This document provides material information, latitude longitude
information, and a figure of the material on the reef site. A pdf version of the hardcopy reef
guide can be found at: http://portal.nedenr.org/c/document library/Ret file?uuid=24160156-
4b96-49e6-9126-4fa488b49cbb&groupld=38337. The NCDMF Artificial Reef Program has also
developed an interactive reef guide, set up in an ArcGIS format is available here:
https://ncdenr.maps.arcizis.com/apps/webal2pviewer/index.html?id=3 b27e8594cb6444c88b5525b
f763aa55. The interactive guide is complete with material shapefiles, latitude/longitude
information, side -scan sonar imagery, and much more. This is available for review by the public,
state, and federal agencies.
Boundaries for each reef site were defined in a boundary packet which detailed the
coordinates of each reef, material locations, reef boundaries, and acreages of reefs and materials.
This packet was accepted by Division of Coastal Management on July 10, 2017 and USACE on
October 25, 2017. Letters acknowledging the acceptance of this reef packet are shown in
attachments 1, 2 and 3.
Project Background
The site is located about 1.5 nautical miles NE of Northwest Point on Roanoke Island as
shown in Figure 1. It was originally permitted by US Army Corps of Engineers in 1987
(SAWC077-N-028-0082). NCDMF does not have a record of a CAMA permit for the reef site,
likely because construction was authorized prior to the implementation of current permitting
practices. The reef is 38.79 acres in size and was originally constructed using tires. The tires
remain on the reef site and can be seen in Figures 2 and 3. AR -197 is currently marked with four
13" diameter spar buoys emblazoned with an orange diamond and the word "REEF". MLW
depth is 10 feet and navigational clearance is listed as 6 feet. A sidescan survey of the site
showed no existing shellfish resource or submerged aquatic vegetation (Figure 3).
Artificial reef materials are selected on four primary considerations: Function,
compatibility, durability, and stability. Accepted materials include concrete, vessels, and natural
materials and were chosen based on the above criteria, using guidance from internal program
studies, The ASMFC/GSMFC Guidelines for Marine Artificial Reef Materials (Second Ed.,
2004), The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) National Guidance: Best Management
Practices (BMPs) for Preparing Vessels Intended to Create Artificial Reefs, and the
NOAA/NMFS National Artificial Reef Plan. Concrete structures include recycled pre -fabricated
materials, crushed concrete, and pre -designed concrete reef material. These concrete structures
must be free of protruding rebar and any open bottomed structure must have an opening in the
State of North Carolina I Division of Marine Fisheries

top equal to the bottom opening or 3 -feet in diameter (whichever is lesser) to allow listed species
to escape. Vessels consist of preferably large steel hulled vessels for longevity. Examples of
natural material include calcium carbonate shells, limestone marl, granite and basalt. All
materials must be cleaned and prepared in accordance with United States Corps of Engineers
General (Regional) Permits (#GP198500194 or #GP19000291), applicable NC Division of
Coastal Management permits, Division of Water Resources permits, and conform to site-specific
navigational clearance requirements published by the United States Coast Guard and NOAA
Office of Coast Survey. This includes the removal of all pollutants and tangle hazards such as
railings, antennas, etc., from vessels.
Proposed Enhancements
Through a Sport Fish Restoration grant, the NCDMF Artificial Reef program plans to
purchase up to 2000 tons of #4 size granite rock (3/4"-2" average size) for use at AR -197. This
rock is typically washed at the quarry, reducing the likelihood of excessive turbidity during the
deployment process.
This development is planned to occur in a 5.26 -acre portion of the 38.79 -acre site. This
material will be loaded onto a self-propelled barge at a stockpile location nearby at the Wanchese
industrial park. The barge is equipped with a water monitor which will be used to spray rock off
the deck. This deployment strategy has been used successfully by NCDMF for many years in
cultch planting efforts and produces low -profile mounds of material. For this project, we plan to
modify the cultch planting style of deployment and create slightly taller mounts, up to 2 feet off
the bottom. A profile view can be seen in Figure 4.
Deployments will follow protected species avoidance measures as outlined in the
ongoing USACE consultation with NMFS-PRD as well as USFWS Guidelines for Avoiding
Impacts to the West Indian Manatee.
