S. Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington Regulatory Field Office ,Po O. Box 1890 Wilmington, North Carolina 28402-1890 Subject: Action ID #200400690, North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, Oyster Creek Boat Access Area, 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 June 4, 2004. The applicant, North Carolina Wildlife Resources commission (NCWRC)., has applied fora Department of the Army (DA) permit to build a boating access area (BAA) at the confluence of Oyster Creek and Core Sound in Carteret County. The proposed work is being considered under Regional General Permit #198000291, a permit/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)(I) 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 ofthe Endangered Species Act (ESA) of1973, as amended (16 U.S,C. 1531-1543). Proposed Action The PN contains the Field Investigation Report (FIR), dated April 21, 2004, of the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM). The FIR states that the proposed launching facility would consist of two concrete boat ramps, both 15 feet by 68 feet, which would extend 50 feet waterward from the normal high water (NHW) contour into Core Sound. There would be two fixed docks and one floating dock. Breakwaters, or groins, would be constructed at the outer edges ofthe three docks. A 54.5-foot retaining wall would be built on the north side ofthe ramps to connect to the existing abutment of the Highway 70 Bridge over Oyster Creek. Riprap would be placed along 38 feet of shoreline south of the ramps. South of the riprap a low profile rock sill would be constructed. The sill would be 258 feet long, have a base width of 6.5 feet, be an average of 15 feet offshore, and have a crest elevation of 1.5 feet above mean low water. The sill would enclose 3,870 square feet (ft2). Some sand fill would be placed in the enclosed area and marsh vegetation wouldbe planted. At 20-foot interval along the sill, twelve-inch concrete culverts would be installed to "allow for fish passage without enhancing the problem of scour." ,,-- .. 2 Anticipated Impacts The FIR states that construction of the boat ramps, breakwaters, sill, and riprap placement would fill 8,504 ft2 of shallow estuarine bottoms, The three docks would shade an additional 1,032 ft2. The work would not impact areas of submerged aquatic vegetation. The amount of impervious surface within the Coastal Shoreline Area of Environmental Concern (ABC) will influence water quality in Oyster Creek and Core Sound. The Service is pleased that The NCWRC would remove the asphalt pavement ofthe old US Highway 70 and plant this area with grass. The proposed work would have 23,716 ft2 of impervious surface, or 29.4 percent of the overall tract of 1.85 acres (1.38 plus 0.47 included by an encroachment agreement with the North Carolina Department of Transportation). Federally Protected Species 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 in the Davis quad. The occurrence data of special status species within this quad can be obtained on the internet at < http://www.ncsparks.net/nhp/quad.html >. ' Our review indicates that the only federally protected species likely to occur in the project area is the West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus), a federally-endangered mammal. The species has been reported from Carteret County and there is an occurrence record in Core Sound near Davis, south of the project site. The shallow, estuarine waters of the project area 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 occupy waters one to two meters (3.3 -6.6 feet) deep. The species moves extensively when in North Carolina waters and past occurrence records canno( be used to precisely determine the likelihood that it will be presence at a particular construction site. Based on information in the FIR (DCM-MP-1, 3a) construction would require "pile driving equipment on barges." Project diagrams indicate that the waterward portion ofthe breakwater/groins would be in water greater than three feet deep. Pile driving during construction poses 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 < http://nc- es.fws.gov/mammal/manatee guidelines.pdf>, The risk to manatees could be reduced to an ~~ 3 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. However, the requirement of section 7 would need to be reconsidered if: (1) new information 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 amanner that 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 Service supports increased access for recreational fishing and it is apparent that the BAA was designed to minimize adverse environmental impacts. The Service is pleased that asphalt pavement associated with the old US Highway 70 would be removed and the area planted with grass. The reduction of impervious surface from 33.84% to 29.4% will benefit water quality in adjacent waters. However, we believe additional measures could be incorporated into project plan to further benefit fish and wildlife resources. First, the Service supports the recommendations of the NCDCM regarding gaps in the breakwater/groin structures. The NCDCM recommended that these structures have equal gaps between each sheathing board totaling at least one inch of open area for every linear foot of breakwater. Such openings would serve to prevent the trapping of sediment which can lead to shoreline recession in other areas. Second, areas of reduced height, or drop-downs along the 258-foot stone sill may be more beneficial for the passage oflarge, mobile organisms than the proposed 12-inch-diamter concrete pipes. We appreciate the effort to indent the sill at culvert location, from 6.5 feet to no more that four feet, to allow for "day lighting" of the culverts. However, some organisms may be reluctant to pass through the concrete pipes. The culverts are proposed instead of drop-downs to reduce the problem of scouring. The proper use of filter fabric, stones large enough to resist displacement, and the correct slope to absorb wave energy should minimize the risk of scour. The current proposal calls for one 12-inch culvert at 20-foot intervals, or roughly five percent of the sill length. The Service recommends that at least ten percent of the overall sill length consist of gaps. As an alternative to drop-down along the sill, the structure could consist of discrete sections parallel to the shore, but offset with some overlap. The overlapping sections would allow an indirect connection between the marsh ,and Core Sound. Third, the Service does not support the placement of sand fill in the area behind the sill. Based on project diagrams, this area is currently within the intertidal zone, an area suitable for a fringe marsh. Project diagrams also show a natural fringe marsh southwest of the area that would be planted. The current profile appears suitable for the expansion of the existing fringe marsh. A natural expansion could augment the proposed planting of marsh vegetation. Regardless of the origin of the fringe marsh, once it is established, the plants will build a tough root mat which will trap organic matter and built in thickness, This natural process provides the best methods for creating and maintaining a healthy fringe marsh. .' - ~ 4 Fourth, while the overall result of the project would be a reduction in impervious surface, every effort should be made to reduce impervious surface. Both Core Sound and Oyster Creek have water quality classifications ofSA-ORW (Outstanding Resource Waters). Current state regulations limit new construction on the shoreline ofORW to 25 percent coverage, but make exceptions for redevelopment such as the present proposal. In this regard, the Service recommends that landscape blocks be considered for areas such as the sidewalk and concrete apron landward of the ramps. Such blocks, also referred to as infiltration blocks or modular paving blocks, create a firm surface but minimize the amount of impervious area, allow vegetation to grow, and allow precipitation to infiltrate into the subsurface soil. The open portion of the blocks reduces runoff volumes. Surface vegetation growing in the open portions will trap some sediment and nutrient from surface runoff. Such blocks should also be considered for the access road, parking area, and maneuvering area which together represent approximately 20,000 fe. Fifth, the proposed re-vegetation ofthe abandoned alignment of US Highway 17 should use native vegetation. Plants should be adapted to the soils and hydrology of the area to minimize the need for fertilizer, pesticides, and/or herbicides. Overall, the Service supports the creation of the proposed BAA, We do request that the coordinated federal position recommend the five points outlined above. These measures would serve as an example for similar project by private interests. The Service appreciates the opportunity to comment on this permit application.

Narrative' Description: The project site is located on the southwest side of the Oyster Creek Bridge on Highway 70 in Carteret County. This is in the Davis Community of the county, and was previously the site of a commercial fish house. In the past, Highway 70 crossed the property before being relocated to the north, and some remnant asphalt remains. The property abuts Core Sound to the south and the mouth of Oyster Creek to the east. The size of the parcel is 1.38 acres in size, with the addition of the .47 acres included by Encroachment Agreement with DOT. The existing impervious area on the property is 27, 272 sf, for total percentage coverage within the AEC of 33.84%. The property was purchased by the NCWRC in 2002, and has had all remains of the fish house removed. The WRC obtained General Permit #34082-C in 2003 for the stabilization of the shoreline through the use of riprap, which it has completed. Besid~s the remaining gravel and asphalt, the site is vegetated with typical shrub/scrub habitat. Average elevation is + 7' ms!. The width of the water body at the project site is in excess of 4800' . The Carteret County Land Use Plan classifies this tract as Conservation by virtue of the fact that it lies entirely within the AEC. The Division of Marine Fisheries does not designate this area of Core Sound as a Primary Nursery Area; however, immediately north of the bridge, Oyster Creek is designated. Core Sound and Oyster Creek both carry water quality classifications of SA-ORW, and are open to the taking of shellfish for consumption. There are patches of submerged grassbeds at the project site, but not within the location of any proposed development. The proposal is to construct a public launching facility. Specifically, two (2) concrete boat ramps are proposed on the east side of the property. They are proposed for 15' wide x 68' in length, extending approximately 50' waterward of the nhw contour, to reach a water depth of -4.7' nlw. A 50' x 20' concrete skirt will be poured along the high ground side of the ramps. Two (2) fixed docks, 76' x 6' and 151' x 6', will be aligned along the outer edges of the ramps, with a float, 76' x 8' in the middle. Breakwaters (the applicant refers to them as "groins") are proposed on the outside edges of the fixed docks, extending 160' from the nhw contour on the south and 121' on the north. These structures are proposed with 2" gaps for every 2' interval of boards. All portions of this facility will be located in excess of 20' from adjacent riparian corridors. A retaining wall is proposed, 54.5', on the north side of the ramps, landward of all coastal vegetation and connecting to the existing DOT bridge abutment. Approximately 38' of. riprap is proposed to the south side of the ramps, approximately 20' in width, extending to no more than 5' from the nhw contour in an area void of wetland vegetation. Along the south shoreline, the applicant proposes to construct a rock sill with a 6.5' base width, to a height of 1.5' above substrate. This 258' sill will be located an average of 15' offshore, and will be comprised of 86 cubic yards of rock. Twelve-inch concrete culverts are proposed through the sill at 20' intervals of sill length. These features are intended to allow for fish passage without enhancing the problem of scour. While the plats appear to completely Field Investigation Report: NCWRC-Oyster Creek Page 03 encompass the culverts, the intent is to indent the sill at the culvert locations, such that the sill will be no more than 4' wide at these features, allowing for the "day lighting" of the culverts. Filter cloth is proposed beneath the sill. Sand fill will be placed in the 3870 sf area behind the sill, which is proposed for planting of coastal wetland species. The sand is shown at 8" in depth at the landward end, gradually reducing to grade at the sill. The plats erroneously show filter cloth beneath the fill material. Spartina alterniflora is proposed to be planted up to the 2' contour line, which represents the nhw line, and Spartina patens is proposed to continue to the shoreline, or the 3.5' contour line. Within the high ground area of the property, the Commission proposes to construct 13 regular car and trailer parking spaces (130' x 50'), a single handicapped space, and a turning area (95' x 95'). Concrete walkways are proposed around the handicapped space and connecting to the ramps for a total square footage of 671 (approximately 72 sf will be timber decking). The drive through the parking lot and turning area is approximately 260' x 25'. , Any spoil generated by grading for the parking area or construction of the ramp will be placed on the west side of the property. 10. Anticipated Impacts: The high ground impacts from this proposal come in the form of the backfilling of the retaining wall, the spoil disposal grading, the parking lot, drive, turning area, skirt to the ramps, a portion of the ramps, a portion of the riprap, the handicapped access walks, and the portion of the planting area above the nhw contour. These disturbances will require that 37,215 sf of high ground be filled/graded, and 72 sf be shaded. There will be shallow bottom filling impacts from the remainder of the ramp, the sill, the remainder of the riprap, the remainder of the planting area, and the breakwater, for a total of 8504 sf. Shading impacts will occur from the floating and fixed docks in the amount of 1032 sf. There is proposed to be a disturbance of approximately 56 cubic yards of material at the toe of the ramp for "leveling" this feature. The total high ground impervious area within the AEC will be 23, 716 sf, or 29.4%. Thisrepresents an overall reduction of 4.44% over the existing impervious area.
