PROJECT SETTING
The Elizabeth City Shipyard is owned by Lloyd E. and Mary Hadley Griffin and is
located along the Elizabeth City waterfront on the southern bank of the Pasquotank
River on Riverside Avenue. The Shipyard site is bounded by Charles Creek to the
west and Butler Lane to the east and occupies approximately 2,000 feet of
shoreline. The Shipyard actually consists of two separate parcels divided by _
property owned by the College of the Albemarle. This proposal concerns the
eastern 2.77 acre parcel that is actually bounded by College of the Albemarle
property on the west side and Butler Lane (City of Elizabeth City) on the east side.
This entire vicinity of the river is developed with commercial, residential and
public uses. The shipyard site has historically been used for boat fabrication and
maintenance, and is currently being utilized in this capacity. Although an area of
typical urban waterfront land use, this site has not been designated as an Urban
Waterfront by the City of Elizabeth City and is not located within any National
Registered Historical District. Almost the entire shoreline is stabilized with riprap
or concrete seawall bulkhead structures. Adjacent areas are also stabilized with
riprap or bulkhead structures. Most of the structures at the shipyard need either
repair or replacement. Currently 10 piers are located on the eastern portion of the
tract. The existing pier structures extend perpendicular into the river and range
between 150 and 200 ft in length and between 8 and 16 ft in width. An eight ft
wide concrete boardwalk also exists along much of the existing shoreline and
concrete seawall alignment. Water depths range along the shorelin&NWL between
8 ft and 17 ft in depth. Water depths range between 19 and 37 ft, 200 to 300 ft
offshore. The pier and platform to the far west appear to extend across the
neighboring riparian alignment. It is estimated that the shipyard has approximately
72 existing slips available and includes approximately 22,110 sf of dockage area.
Most of the pier structures need repair or replacement. Other structures or features
on this tract include a rail style haul-out boatlift, a slip, a 90' x 40' (approximately)
basin/boat ramp/boat lift area and a 20 ft. wide travel lift style boatlift. The site
also includes existing mechanical shops, storage buildings and parking areas.
Site elevation is approximately 5 ft. MSL. Existing vegetation includes some grass
areas and some trees along Riverside Avenue. The site is predominately covered
with buildings, asphalt, gravel or compacted surfaces. The applicant reports that
approximately 77 % of the entire site is impervious, with 65 % of this area located
within the Estuarine Shoreline AEC. This project will require a Storm Water
Management Plan.
The Pasquotank River is approximately 2,000 ft wide at this location. The federally
maintained channel of the Intra-coastal Waterway begins approximately 600 ft

offshore. The North Carolina Marine Fisheries and Wildlife Resources
Commissions classify the waters of this portion of the Pasquotank River as Joint
Waters. These waters also are designated by the Coastal Resources Commission as
Public Trust Area and Estuarine Waters. These waters are not open to any
commercial shellfish harvests. Although submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) are
present in many areas of the Pasquotank River, there did not appear to be any SAV
patches in the vicinity of this proposal and water depths in this vicinity of the river
probably restrict their habitat. Upstream sections of the river are noted as spawning
areas for anadromous fish species.
PROTECT DESCRIPTION
This proposal only concerns work on the part of the shipyard that lies to the east of
the College of the Albemarle property. This project involves the replacement and
re-configuration of the existing pier dockage and the placement of a breakwater
pier enclosure perpendicular to the existing pier alignments, approximately 250 ft
offshore. This proposal also includes the replacement of approximately 1,000 linear
ft of existing rip rap or concrete/wood bulkhead shoreline stabilization with new
wood or vinyl bulkhead, as well as the enlargement of the 20 ft wide travel lift.
This proposal also includes the filling of an existing basin and the replacement and
upgrade of fuel storage and dispensing equipment. This project also involves the
conversion of existing pervious area and a parking area into three 4-unit
condominiums and associated parking.
Pier re-configuration includes the removal of 5 existing piers and the replacement
of 5 remaining piers within their existing alignment. Two of these five piers will
also include a breakwater structure that would extend around the existing marina
footprint and would enclose approximately 212,500 sf (4.9 acres) of the
Pasquotank River and provide a total of 67 slips. These slips would range in size to
accommodate 30 ft to 100 ft vessels. The proposed pier walkways would be 8 ft in
width with the exception of the pier closest to the travel lift. This pier would be 12
ft in width and also include an approximately 40 ft by 60 ft, irregular shaped,
platform located at the landward end of the pier. The breakwater structure would
be constructed of 12 ft wide concrete panels and would extend to an average depth
of 18 feet below the NWL except in those areas where the bottom is shallower. A
minimum of a 3 ft opening along the bottom of the breakwater structure would be
incorporated to accommodate flushing and water quality concerns. The breakwater
panels would also be constructed to allow a 12 ft gap for every 108 linear feet of
breakwater structure alignment, again to address flushing and water quality
concerns.
This proposal also includes the replacement of 1,019 ft of existing shoreline
stabilization with either treated wood or vinyl bulkhead. While most of the
proposed bulkhead alignment would be an average of 2 ft waterward of the NWL

or existing structure, two areas would require a waterward alignment of a
maximum of 13 feet. One of these `maximum' areas is required to provide a
straight bulkhead alignment, while the other area involves the filling of an existing
3,600 sf basin and ramp area. The bulkhead construction and basin backfill will be
supplied from an upland site, most probably from a location in Pasquotank County.
The fill would result in 1,105 cy of material to be placed at or below the NWL.
Other proposed work includes the enlargement of an existing travel lift from 20 ft
to 24 ft in width, as well as the construction of two 10,000 gal. above-ground fuel
tanks. The tanks would be located where the basin was previously situated, be a
minimum of 40 ft from the shoreline and include a containment dike. The fuel
dispensing pumps would be placed on the existing 12 ft wide pier after this pier has
been renovated.
The applicants also propose to construct three 4-unit condos within an existing
parking area near the eastern-most portion of this tract. These units would be three
stories in height with the first floor allocated to parking and storage. The foot-
print of these structures would be 30 ft landward of the NWL. Each unit would
have a 6 ft wide concrete walkway to access the boardwalk along the shoreline.
The applicant reports that total overall site development would result in 0.94 acres
of upland land disturbance and grading and that 67 % of the site would be covered
in impervious type surfaces, 61 % would be within the Estuarine Shoreline AEC.
ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The proposed work would result in some temporary elevated turbidity levels
associated with pile placement and site disturbance. The proposed development
would also result in shading of approximately 16,160 s£ (0.37 acres) of Estuarine
Waters and Public Trust Area of the Pasquotank River and the filling of 5,445 sf
(0.125 acres) of the same. Although this project would result in the placement of a
pier and breakwater structure some 250 feet into the Pasquotank River, it would
only extend slightly (approximately 50 ft) beyond the existing pier alignment and
should not present any significant interference to navigation and should be well
landward of the Intra-coastal Waterway and well within one fourth the width of the
Pasquotank River. This proposal would also result in a net decrease in the total
number of slips, as well as a net decrease in impervious surfaces within the
Estuarine Shoreline of the Pasquotank River and would not result in any non-
conforming uses within the Coastal Shoreline Buffer Area of Environmental
Concern. In turn, this project would result in the removal of a significant amount
of derelict structures from this shoreline and provide a more favorable mooring
facility than currently exists.

PROJECT NARRATIVE
Subject Property:
The subject property is located on the south banks of the Pasquotank River in the City of Elizabeth
City, North Carolina. The property is bounded to the north by the Pasquotank River, to the east by
Butlers Lane (unimproved city street), to the south by Riverside Avenue (improved city street), and
to the west by property owned by College of The Albemarle. The subject property has historically
been utilized as a boat fabrication, maintenance and storage facility and is currently being used in
this capacity.
Existing Conditions:
The subject property currently consists of a 2.77 acre parcel of land lying on the south banks of the
Pasquotank River. The parcel occupies approximately 540 linear feet of shoreline along the southern
banks of the Pasquotank River. Shoreline conditions consist of approximately 180 feet of rip-rap
stabilized shoreline and approximately 540 feet of bulkhead/concrete seawall stabilized shoreline.
There are three boatlifts associated with this parcel, one being a 20' wide travel-lift and the other two
being older railway-style lifts. There are ten existing piers associated with this parcel, extending
approximately 150 feet to 220 feet in a northerly direction from the shoreline. The easternmost pier
also protrudes approximately 60 feet to the east at its northernmost point, taking advantage of the
skew of the parcel's eastern property line. This parcel contains some pervious area, but is also
occupied by four buildings; a railway house, associated shed and generator buildings, and a 2446 sf
stockroom. Additional coverage within the eastern half of the parcel consists of an existing gravel
driveway and parking associated with the stockroom, a gravel parking lot running alongside
Riverside Avenue, a concrete walkway running along the seawall, and concrete base for the two
boatlifts.
Proposed Conditions:
Due to damage to the existing piers incurred repeatedly from large storms sending energy from the
Pasquotank River into the shoreline of the easternmost parcel, this project proposes the
reconfiguration of the piers to provide a sheltered docking area. The perimeter of the proposed
docking area would consist of a pier with an attached outer wall (breakwater), extending from the
pier surface to a point below the water surface (not to the river bottom, thus allowing flushing of the
boat docking area). The purpose of this wall is to prevent upper wave action from entering the boat
docking area. The perimeter pier will run the length of the parcel and will extend to the east to
match the easternmost point of the existing piers, and to the north to match the northernmost point
of the existing piers.
Interior to the perimeter pier will be boat slips as follows;
4 - 100' slips
A.
II - 60' slips
12 - 50' slips
24 - 40' slips
16 - 30' slips
In addition to the proposed pier reconfiguration. this project proposes the following site
modifications:
• Bulkheading of the project shoreline which is currently rip-rap stabilized.
• Removal of one existing boat lift / railway and bulkheading and filling of the
associated boatlift area.
• Installation of above-ground fuel storage tanks beside existing stockroom with an _
associated fuel dispenser for boat access on the adjacent dock.
• Replacing the existing 20 foot travel lift with a 24 foot travel lift.
• Construction of (3) 4-unit condominiums on the eastern half of the eastern parcel
with associated parking and pedestrian facilities.
• Removal of existing impervious area adjacent to the existing shop to account for
impervious area being added with the proposed condominiums.
It should be noted that the site coverage within the 75' AEC for existing conditions is approximately
64.7%. This proposal reduces the site coverage within the 75' AEC slightly to 61.1%.

Dear Mr. Domey:
NOV 7 2000
C
Please reference the application of Lloyd Griffin for Department of the Army (DA)
authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to construct and replace 1,019 linear feet of
bulkhead, re-configure existing docking areas, and develop a breakwater pier system, on property
located off Riverside Avenue, at the Elizabeth City Ship Yard, adjacent to the Pasquotank River,
in Elizabeth City, Pasquotank 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 January 3, 2001, the District Engineer will
deem that waiver has occurred.

Dear Sirs:
On July 24, 2000, we renewed General Permit No. 198000291 (copy enclosed), which
provides Federal authorization for construction activities that receive authorization from the
State of North Carolina.
A review of your application received October 31, 2000, for Department of the Army (DA)
authorization to construct and replace 1,019 linear feet of bulkhead, re-configure existing
docking areas, and develop a breakwater pier enclosure, on property located off Riverside
Avenue, at the Elizabeth City Ship Yard, adjacent to the Pasquotank River, in Elizabeth City,
Pasquotank County, North Carolina, indicates it to be a candidate for Federal authorization under
this general permit. Accordingly, the administrative processing of your application will be
accomplished by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management. Comments from Federal
review agencies will be furnished to the State.
If your application must be withdrawn from this general permit process for any reason, you
will be informed regarding its further management. If there are no unresolved differences in
State-Federal positions or policies, the final action taken on your application by the State will
result in your receiving written notice from us that your application is consistent with the general
permit and you may commence your activity. Only after receiving such confirmation should
begin work.
