WATER RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT PLAN
I. Introduction
A. Authority and Purpose of Plan
General Statute 143-215.73A requires the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to prepare a
statewide plan for water resources development projects. The plan lists projects proposed for a six-year period and is due
by July 1 each year.
The purpose of the plan is to give the Governor and the State Budget Director a long-range forecast of state
funding needs for water resources development. The Governor can then use the plan to select and recommend projects
for funding in the biennial budget. The plan also gives the members of the Advisory Budget Commission and the General
Assembly a long-range forecast of state funding requirements for water resources development projects. The plan will
provide them with information to use in their consideration of the Governor’s funding recommendations.
B. Organization and Project Categories
The plan has been written in three parts: 1) Project Listings; 2) Project Priorities and Funding
Recommendations; and 3) Project Information. The first part contains a listing of all projects grouped under the five
categories specified in part (b) of G.S. 143-215.73A. The second part shows the priority assigned to each project and
whether or not it is recommended for funding, for deferral, or for elimination. The final section contains specific
information on each project as required under G.S. 143-215.73A(d).
C. Distribution of the Plan
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources submits the plan to the Governor each year by July 1.
The Governor also provides copies of the plan to the General Assembly along with her recommended biennial budget or
her recommended revised budget for the second year of the biennium.
D. Budget Recommendations
This report includes the recommendations of the Department of Environment and
Natural Resources as to which projects should be funded in the next biennial budget or in the revised budget for the
second year of the biennium.
The Governor chooses which of these projects, if any, will be included in her recommended biennial budget (or
in the revised budget for the second year of the biennium). The budget document transmitted to the General Assembly by
the Governor identifies the water resources development projects recommended for funding.

ATLANTIC INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY (AIWW) MAINTENANCE DREDGING
ATLANTIC INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY (AIWW), SNOWS CUT (SECTION 216)
The AIWW navigation channel runs 308 miles from the
Virginia state line to the South Carolina state line
through Currituck, Camden, Dare, Tyrrell, Hyde,
Beaufort, Pamlico, Carteret, Onslow, Pender, New
Hanover, and Brunswick Counties. In the past, the
Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers has had
sufficient funds to keep this channel dredged to its
authorized depth of -12 feet, mean low water. However,
several times in the last decade, the District has not
had sufficient funds to perform this dredging. In order
to keep the AIWW open for both commercial and
recreational boat traffic, the State of North Carolina has
provided funds to the Wilmington District so that they
could hire a dredging contractor to do the dredging.

Status of Project
Construction of Snow’s Creek Cut allowed salt water from
Myrtle Grove Sound to enter the Cape Fear River estuary near
its midpoint. This has had far reaching effects on the physical,
chemical, and biological functioning of the estuary. High salt
content has manifested itself with timber die-off, which is
present throughout many of the freshwater swamps above
Wilmington. In addition, it has resulted in increased current and
projected future costs to industries in the upper estuary due to
increased monitoring and modifications of their facilities in order
to cope with increasing salt loads. Reduction in the amount of
introduced salts, which serve to flocculate riverine sediments in
the area, could also result in substantial reduction of
maintenance dredging at Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point.
The Corps has proposed a Section 216 study on the salt water
intrusion problem in the Cape Fear River estuary, of which
Snow’s Cut has a role.
The Corps would begin a reconnaissance study in FY 2013 to
determine whether it is in the Federal interest to do this study.
The U.S. Congress has not approved funding for this study and
the non-federal sponsor is yet to be determined.

B. EVERETT JORDAN LAKE WATER SUPPLY
BALD HEAD ISLAND BEACH RENOURISMENT, BRUNSWICK COUNTY
The Village of Bald Head Island has requested that the
Wilmington District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
perform a feasibility study on a shore protection project
for the portions of its beach that are experiencing
severe erosion. If directed by the U.S. Congress, the
Wilmington District will perform a reconnaissance study,
funded entirely with federal monies, in Fiscal Year 2013.
If the reconnaissance study shows that there is a
federal interest in doing this project, a cost-shared
feasibility study will likely begin in Fiscal Year 2014.

B. Everett Jordan Lake is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers'
multipurpose reservoir that became operational in 1983. The
water supply storage in the lake was included at the request
of the State of North Carolina and was done with the
understanding that the actual users of the water would repay
the Corps the costs of including the water supply storage and
the portion of the annual operating and maintenance costs
associated with that storage. The General Statute GS 143-
354(a)(11) of the State of North Carolina gives the
Environmental Management Commission (EMC) the authority
to allocate to local governments any water supply storage
held by the State in Federal reservoirs. The estimated
safe yield of the 45,800 acre-feet of water supply storage is
100 million gallons per day. As of May 2007 the EMC has
allocated 63 percent of that storage as follows: Level I
allocations: Towns of Cary and Apex, Chatham County, City
of Durham, Town of Morrisville, and Wake County - RTP
South.; and Level II allocations: Town of Holly Springs,
Orange County, and Orange Water & Sewer Authority. Both
the State and the local government allocation holders are
paying their proportionate shares of the interest on the cost of
the water supply storage, plus their share of the O&M and
major rehabilitation cost. In addition, local government
allocation holders using Jordon Lake water are also paying
off the principle. The initial principle amount was $4,388,000;
as of March 1, 2011 the current remaining balance to be paid
is $1,928,878

BEAUFORT HARBOR MAINTENANCE DREDGING, CARTERET COUNTY
BELHAVEN HARBOR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS (BEAUFORT COUNTY) (SECTION 1135)
This Corps of Engineers navigation project is located at
the Town of Beaufort. The project consists of five
segments: (1) the 15-foot deep Bulkhead Channel from
the Town to Beaufort Inlet; (2) the 15-foot deep Gallants
Channel from the Town north to the Newport River; (3)
the 15-foot deep Taylor’s Creek Channel from the Town
east to the North River and Back Sound; (4) the 12-foot
deep Town Creek Channel and Basin north of Beaufort;
and (5) the 14-foot Morgan Creek Channel and Basin.
Carteret County, the non-Federal sponsor.

Next maintenance scheduled for FY2012
Estimated Completion Date
The proposed project will replace and upgrade the
existing breakwaters that protect the harbor and
waterfront of Belhaven, NC. The existing breakwaters
consist of northern and southern structures, each about
1900 feet long, at the entrance to Pantego Creek,
separated by a central 500 foot navigation opening.
The existing structures have many openings that allow
water to pass through with little abatement. In the
Spring of 2009, the Wilmington District, Corps of
Engineers, received $3,250,000 in Disaster
Supplemental funds to replace the existing structure
with a new timber structure. This work will be done in
FY 2011. The Corps is also studying the addition of
submerged reefs in the lee (harbor side) of both
breakwaters. These reefs would improve the estuarine
habitat and also increase sheltering of the harbor from
waves, and if funded, could be constructed in FY 2013
The Corps plans to complete the replacement of the timber
breakwater in 2011 and, if funded, the reef construction in 2013.

BOGUE BANKS BEACH PROTECTION, CARTERET COUNTY
BRUNSWICK COUNTY BEACHES (OCEAN ISLE), NC
This Corps of Engineers project is located in the Town
of Ocean Isle Beach and provides for hurricane-wave
protection and beach erosion control along the
oceanfront. A levee consisting of a continuous
vegetated dune and high beach berm stabilized by
periodic nourishment has been constructed. The dune
crown width is 25 feet at elevation 20 feet above mean
sea level fronted by a storm berm having a width of 50
feet at elevation 15 feet above mean sea level for a
distance of 28,000 feet. This project was approved as a
new construction start in fiscal year 2000’s budget and
was constructed in 2001. Beach was renourished in FY
2010.
Bogue Banks is the barrier island in Carteret County
located between Beaufort Inlet to the east and Bogue
Inlet to the west. The communities of Pine Knoll
Shores, Salter Path, Indian Beach, and Emerald Isle
have experienced considerable erosion to the dune
system and severe damage to upland structures due to
recent hurricanes. Carteret County is requesting 50
percent cost-sharing of the non-Federal cost of the
feasibility study for the Bogue Banks Shore Protection
project that would be done by the Corps of Engineers.
The Corps plans to complete the feasibility study in
FY13, do preliminary engineering and design work in FY
13 and 14, and then do the nourishment of the beaches
in FY 15, 16 and 17.

BRUNSWICK COUNTY BEACHES – OAK ISLAND, CASWELL AND HOLDEN BEACHES
CAPE FEAR RIVER ABOVE WILMINGTON, SECTION 216
The Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers, proposes
to investigate the operation of the Federal navigation
channels and locks in the Cape Fear River above
Wilmington. The Corps would begin a reconnaissance
study in FY 2013 to determine whether it is in the
Federal interest to do this study. No state or local
matching funds are required. The study will determine if
the Corps should continue to operate the lock and dam
in the future. The U.S. Congress has not approved
funding for this study and the non-federal sponsor is yet
to be determined.
This Corps of Engineer project will protect these
beaches through the construction of continuous storm
berms and dunes along their ocean shorelines. The
Wilmington District is investigating what the most
effective dimensions of these berms and dunes should
be through the preparation of a General Re-evaluation
Report (GRR). They hope to complete the GRR in
2012. If that is the case, then initial construction would
occur in Fiscal Year 2017, and re-nourishments would
occur at three- to four-year intervals for the life of this
project. The cost-sharing would initially be 65 percent
Federal, 35 percent non-Federal, but then switch to
50–50 for all re-nourishments. The costs shown for
construction and re-nourishments are general
estimates.

CAROLINA BEACH SOUTH, NEW HANOVER COUNTY
CONCORD STREAM RESTORATION (SECTION 206), CABARRUS COUNTY
Restoration and rehabilitation are proposed for four
stream segments in Concord: Three Mile Branch
(approximately 8,000 feet), Afton Run (5,800 feet),
Stricker Branch (approximately 5,500 feet), and
Academy Center Branch (4,000 feet). The watersheds
of the four streams are experiencing rapid residential
and commercial development that has led to a variety
of negative impacts on the subject streams, including
slope failures, bank erosion, high in-stream sediment
loadings, and loss of vegetated riparian buffers. The
project would consist of stream channel reconstruction
where feasible, restoration of riparian buffers,
construction of natural marsh catchments, and
purchase of existing wildlife corridors. In addition,
aquatic habitat will be restored through the installation
of in-stream habitat improvement structures. The City
of Concord is the non-federal sponsor.
This Corps of Engineers hurricane protection project is
being constructed south of Carolina Beach in front of
developments known as Wilmington Beach and Kure
Beach. It provides for construction of a dune with a
base generally bordering at or near the building line with
a crown width of 25 feet at an elevation of 13.5 feet
above mean low water and a beach berm 50 feet wide
at elevation 9.0 feet above mean low water, extending
18,000 feet from the southern limits of Carolina Beach.
Federal participation in the cost of beach nourishment
will not exceed 50 years from year of initial placement,
which was April of 1998. The Town of Kure Beach is
the non-Federal sponsor of this project.

CURRITUCK SOUND ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION
DARE COUNTY BEACHES
The Corps of Engineers has completed a detailed
feasibility study of a 20-mile long section of beach from
the northern limits of Dare County to just south of Nags
Head. The area, which is largely developed, has
experienced erosion and damages as a result of recent
storms and hurricanes. The study has located sand
sources that could be used for beach nourishment. The
Corps recommends that the initial nourishment be done
on approximately 13.5 miles of beach in three phases
over a three-year period. The design cost-sharing
agreement between Dare County and the Corps of
Engineers was signed in July 2001. The project
cooperation agreement was executed in September
2004. The lack of Federal funding has delayed the start
of the project. Project is currently on hold.
Currituck Sound is a 153 square mile brackish water
estuary separated from the Atlantic Ocean by the Outer
Banks. A recent increase in salinity levels has caused a
severe decline in many freshwater fisheries (largemouth
bass, black crappie, and bluegill). Also, there has been
a significant loss of submerged aquatic vegetation. The
Corps, in partnership with the State of North Carolina
has begun an investigation to determine the specific
causes of the decline in species mentioned above and
the necessary actions to restore the Sound. If the study
finds a feasible solution, implementation would begin in
FY 14.

FAR CREEK MAINTENANCE DREDGING, HYDE COUNTY
JOHN H. KERR DAM AND RESERVOIR, NC & VC SECTION 216 STUDY
John H. Kerr Reservoir is operated by the Corps of
Engineers for flood control, hydropower, recreation, and
water releases to enhance striped bass spawning in the
Roanoke River. The storage and release of water at
Kerr Dam affects agriculture, forestry, wildlife, water
quality, and industrial water use in the entire lower
Roanoke Basin. The State of North Carolina, the
Commonwealth of Virginia, and the Corps of Engineers
are sponsoring a study of the operation of Kerr Lake to
see if the economic and environmental benefits from
the lake can be increased. At the end of the study it is
anticipated that both structural and non-structural
measures will be taken to improve the operation of John
H. Kerr Dam. Preliminary engineering and design of
these measures would begin in FY 2013.
This project involves the maintenance dredging of the
navigation channel in Far Creek, which runs from the
village of Engelhard to Pamlico Sound. The channel is
used by commercial fishing boats that dock in the basin
at Engelhard. The channel is 12 feet deep and 100 feet
wide. The non-Federal cost is required to prepare the
dredged material disposal site. Hyde County is the non-federal
sponsor of the project. The next maintenance
dredging of the channel is expected to be required in FY
2013.

MANTEO, OLD HOUSE CHANNEL, SECTION 204, DARE COUNTY
MANTEO (SHALLOWBAG BAY) MAINTENANCE DREDGING, DARE COUNTY
As part of the maintenance dredging of the navigation
channel going from Oregon Inlet to Wanchese Harbor,
the Corps of Engineers must provide environmentally
sound spoil disposal sites. As the non-Federal sponsor
of this channel, the state is required to pay for
preparation of the spoil disposal sites, which involves
the raising of dikes around a spoil disposal island
(Island H). The Corps pays for 100% of the dredging
costs. In addition to the channel from Oregon Inlet to
Wanchese Harbor, there are two other channels—the
Manteo to Wanchese and the North—that are a part of
this project. Because the Corps views these projects
as primarily recreational, it has not maintained them.
Because of this policy, the state has paid to keep these
channels open.
The proposed project would use sandy dredged
material from maintenance dredging of Old House
Channel to build submerged sand mounds to be topped
with cultch for oyster reefs. Sand would be placed in
submerged enclosures in a depth of water where
optimum oyster growing conditions are found. The
submerged mounds will be located near the authorized
navigation channel where submerged aquatic
vegetation (SAV) or other significant resources exist.
Creation of the submerged sand mounds would provide
an environmentally sound disposal area for dredged
material.

MOREHEAD CITY HARBOR DREDGING, CARTERET COUNTY
NEUSE RIVER BASIN INVESTIGATION
Water quality and flooding problems in the Neuse River
Basin have impacted the lives and livelihood of many
citizens of the Neuse River Basin. This study will focus
on ways to improve water quality as well as how best to
improve aquatic habitats. It focuses on three areas: (1)
stream and wetland restoration; (2) removal of obsolete
dams and other obstructions; and (3) restoration of
oyster habitat and oysters in the Neuse River estuary.
Projects recommended by this study may be done as
continuing authority projects by the Corps of Engineers,
if funding is available, or by the State of North Carolina,
if federal funding is not available.
The deepening of Morehead City Harbor to 45 feet was
completed in 1994. Maintenance dredging of this
Harbor has been done in two ways: (1) sand from the
outer ocean bar channels has been placed in either an
ocean disposal site or a near shore site and (2) mostly
sandy material from the inner channel and harbor area
has been pumped to the Brandt Island disposal area.
As the non-Federal sponsor of this project, the state is
required to pay for preparation of the spoil disposal
sites, which involves the raising of dikes and spillway
repairs. The Corps pays for 100% of the dredging

PRINCEVILLE FLOOD CONTROL STUDY
This Corps of Engineering study was funded by a
special appropriation from Congress and requires that
the State match these funds dollar for dollar. The
purpose of the study is to determine what additional
flood control measures to protect the Town of
Princeville are feasible. The Corps has completed
some preliminary work that indicates that the more
expensive flood control measures, such as the
construction of a flood bypass channel, the construction
of upstream flood control dams, and the flood-proofing
of existing structures are not feasible. The feasibility
study is scheduled for completion in FY 2012, if funding
is available.
Status of Project
Feasibility is scheduled for completion by end of 2012. If funds
are appropriated, work on plans & specs will begin in FY 2013.

SURF CITY – NORTH TOPSAIL BEACH PROTECTION, PENDER COUNTY
This potential hurricane protection project began in FY
2001 with a reconnaissance study funded entirely by the
Corps of Engineers. That study determined that there
was a Federal interest in a beach nourishment project
to protect citizens of Surf City and the southern 4-mile
section of North Topsail Beach from storm damages. In
February 2002, the Corps entered into an agreement
with the Towns of Surf City and North Topsail Beach to
conduct a feasibility study funded jointly with the two
towns. The feasibility study is scheduled for completion

WILMINGTON HARBOR DEEPENING, NEW HANOVER and BRUNSWICK COUNTIES
This project includes deepening of Wilmington Harbor,
the navigation channel in the Cape Fear River from
Wilmington Harbor to the Atlantic Ocean, and the
Northeast Cape Fear River navigation channel. It also
includes the construction of a 200-foot widening of the
Cape Fear River navigation channel for a distance of 6
miles (called a passing lane) and the construction of
wideners at the major turns and bends of that Cape
Fear channel. The deepening will allow Wilmington
Harbor to accommodate fully loaded container ships
and other bulk cargo ships and keep shipping costs
competitive with those at Norfolk, Charleston, and
Savannah. The passing lane and wideners will allow
larger ships to navigate the Cape Fear River channel in
less time and greater safety. The U.S. Congress
funded a new start on this combined navigation project
in 1997. This project also includes the construction of a
long-term disposal site for materials dredged in the
vicinity of the State Port.

WILMINGTON HARBOR MAINTENANCE DREDGING, 42 FT. PROJECT, NEW HANOVER AND BRUNSWICK COUNTIES
Maintenance dredging is required almost every year to
keep open the channels from the Atlantic Ocean up the
Cape Fear and Northeast Cape Fear rivers to
Wilmington, Fayetteville, and other terminal points. The
Federal government pays for the cost of dredging the
sediments, while the state of North Carolina, the non-
Federal sponsor, pays for the cost of dredged material
disposal areas. Without this maintenance work, the
exporting and importing of goods and commodities
through the State Ports Authority terminal and
numerous private terminals could not occur. The beach
quality sand that is dredged from the navigation channel
from the Atlantic Ocean to Wilmington is placed on the
following beaches: Carolina Beach, Bald Head Island,
Caswell Beach, and Oak Island.

WILMINGTON HARBOR IMPROVEMENTS FEASIBILITY STUDY, NC
This is a proposed cost-shared U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers feasibility study which would investigate
issues related to traffic delays and safety concerns
caused by the existing Wilmington Harbor channel
alignment. Areas to be investigated include the
entrance channel, navigation channel adjacent to Bald
Head Island and the Battery Island turn, and the safe
and efficient turning of containerships in the existing
Anchorage Basin, The study would seek to identify
options for improving access to the State Ports
Authority terminal and other private terminals in the
Wilmington Harbor complex and improve safety for
ships visiting the harbor. The safe and efficient
operation of the Wilmington Harbor complex is vital to
the economy of the local area and the entire State.

WILSON BAY RESTORATION (SECTION 206) , ONSLOW COUNTY
Wilson Bay is a 106-acre shallow estuarine embayment
of the New River within the City of Jacksonville. The
Wilson Bay aquatic ecosystem was degraded by many
years of wastewater from a sewage treatment plant and
by urban non-point source runoff. This restoration
project’s goals are to improve water quality, restore the
benthic community and the use of the Bay as a nursery
area, and restore the use of the Bay for recreation and
economic purposes. The City of Jacksonville has
already taken several major actions to rehabilitate the
Bay including the decommissioning of the wastewater
treatment plant, installing three water column aeration
units, planting oysters in the bay, and planting wetlands
along the shoreline. The Corps has designed a project
to help the City’s project become self-sustaining. It will
purchase and operate three additional aerators, restore
wetlands and creeks within the Wilson Bay urban
watershed, plant additional oysters and submerged
aquatic vegetation, and install bio-swales and rain
gardens. The City of Jacksonville is the non-federal
sponsor of the project.

New Hanover Counties. The existing project provides
for a channel 44 feet deep through the ocean bar and
entrance channel changing to 42 feet deep extending to
the upper portion of the anchorage basin at the state of
North Carolina ports facility at Wilmington, NC. This
study will review the completed project and determine if
modifications are advisable due to significantly changed
physical, environmental, and/or economic conditions.
Alternatives to be investigated could include leaving the
channel in their current status or modifying channel
depths and/or alignment through partial or total
removal.

Project involves the construction of a pre-engineered building (120’ x 32’) for housing equipment associated with the N.C. Division of Water Resources
Aquatic Weed Control Program. The facility would be located in Raleigh, on land leased from North Carolina State University. The N.C. Division of
Water Resources provides technical assistance to local governments and public utilities in the management of noxious aquatic weed infestations. This
assistance involves the use of an assortment of specialized equipment which is required to conduct the field work. The types of equipment include:
Truck, boats (3 airboats, 2 jonboats), canoes, small gas-powered engines, sprayers, spreaders, power cutters, hand tools, etc. This equipment is
currently stored at a temporary location pending the construction of a proper facility. The new facility would allow for centralized long-term storage and a
base for field operations. The facility would provide a safe place to service and repair equipment and protect sensitive and

specialized equipment from the weather. The facility would also provide a secure room for the herbicides and related chemicals used by the program.
N.C. State University has agreed to prepare a site and provide utilities in exchange for shared space in the new facility. The NCSU has an aquatic
weed research program that is part of the Crop Science division. They are interested in consolidating their operations into one location. The needs of
the two programs (DWR and NCSU) align and the partnership will provide mutual benefits
In 1985, a survey of Lake Gaston found 15 acres infested with the aquatic weed Hydrilla. By the fall of 1996, the infestation had grown to over 3,250
acres. The total area of Lake Gaston that can potentially be impacted is about 5,000 acres, or all of the lake that is less than 10 feet deep. Hydrilla
interferes with fishing, boating, swimming, and water skiing. The Division of Water Resources has assisted the Lake Gaston Weed Control Council in
chemical and biological treatments since 1994. In 2010, approximately 802 acres of weed infested waters were treated using herbicides, and an
additional 367 acres were targeted with biological agents

AQUATIC WEED CONTROL - STATEWIDE
The N.C. Div. of Water Resources provides technical and financial assistance to local governments in the evaluation and treatment of aquatic weed
infestations. State financial assistance (50% cost-sharing) for local weed control projects is still available. During the 2010 treatment season, DWR
worked with local government and utility sponsors in the treatment of approximately 1405 acres of weed infested waters using herbicides, and an
additional 730 acres were targeted with biological agents (Treatment numbers include Lake Gaston). In 2011 a similar number of projects and scope is
expected. The estimated total cost to provide this service is $200,000
