PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to construct a new 219' foot bulkhead, replace
approximately 110' of old bulkhead, construct a new 6' x 50' floating dock and complete maintenance
dredging within the boat basin.
9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project site is located at 2509 Shandy Lane, on a man-made finger canal adjacent to Bradley Creek,
in Wilmington, New Hanover County. The lot is roughly 3 acres with approximately 800 ft. of shoreline
along the canal. There is an existing two-story single family residence located on the property, as well as
an existing swimming pool, 15 ft. x 10 ft. gazebo, 80 ft. x 6 ft. floating dock and a 110 ft. bulkhead. The
property elevation averages approximately 6 ft. above mean sea level. Vegetation on the property consist
primarily of live oaks, ornamental shrubs, landscaping and turf grass.
The applicant obtained a CAMA Major Permit (# 51-84) in 1984 for maintenance dredging within the
existing boat basin. The permit expired in December 1987, and has never been renewed.
South of the boat basin there is a narrow strip of coastal wetlands, approximately 160 ft. in length and
10-12 ft. in width, adjacent to the shoreline on the waterward (eastern) side of the lot. Smooth
Cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) is the predominant species along the waterward side of the marsh
border, while Sea Lavender (Limonium. spp), intermixed with Glasswort (Salicornia. spp.) and Spike
Grass (Distichlis Micata), are found at slightly higher elevations. Sea Oxeye (Borrichia, rutescens) and
Grounsel-bush (Baccharus halimi olia) complete the transition to the high ground.
The New Hanover County Land Use Plan classifies adjacent waters as Conservation, and the adjacent
high ground portion of the project area as Resource Protection. The waters of the canal are classified SA
by the Division of Water Quality. They are designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the N.C.
Division of Marine Fisheries and are CLOSED to the harvest of shellfish.
The applicant is proposing to construct a new 219 ft. bulkhead along the southeastern side of the
property to stabilize the shoreline, replace approximately 110 ft. of old bulkhead along the northeastern
portion of the lot, construct a new 6 ft. x 50 ft. floating dock, which is also located along the eastern
portion of the lot, and complete maintenance dredging within the boat basin to a maximum depth of -5.0
ft. at MLW.
The applicant is proposing to remove approximately 600 cubic yards of material from the area within the
boat basin and high ground area located where the new floating dock will be constructed. The
dimensions of the dredging project would be 100 ft. x 60 ft. x -4.5 ft. deep at Mean Low Water (MLW),
within the boat basin. In addition, a 30 ft. x loft. x -4.5 ft. high ground area would be excavated in order
to facilitate the new 6 ft. x 50 ft. floating dock. The material would be removed by a barge mounted
excavator, then placed onto the barge and transported to a designated high ground area within the project
site.
The proposed replacement of the existing 110 ft. long bulkhead, located along the northeastern section of
the shoreline, will extend no further than 10' waterward of the Normal High Water (NHW) line.
Essentially, 10 ft. of the new bulkhead will be free standing in order to incorporate the new 50 ft.
floating dock. The free standing bulkhead should not impact any areas of coastal marsh. The terminal
end of the bulkhead will be located within 1/4 of the width of the 80 ft. canal.
Mrs. Wendt

10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
Aerial photographs indicate that the existing channel (boat basin), located east of the subject property,
was dredged/constructed during the late 1970's. It appears that prior to that time, the subject property and
adjacent channel were used as spoil disposal site for unknown dredging activities. The application
package indicates that the proposed bulkheads and floating dock meet the current regulatory
requirements for bulkheads, piers and docks. According to the applicant's site plan, the replaced
bulkhead should not exceed 1/4 of the width of the canal, nor should interfere with navigation.
Additionally, the replaced bulkhead should not extend further than ten (10) feet below MHW.
The proposed project would create an additional 600 square feet of estuarine waters and public trust
area. The proposed maintenance excavation would result in the excavation of 6,000 square feet of
shallow bottom and 3,100 square feet of high ground disturbance. The project would create
approximately 600 cubic yards of spoil material to be transported offsite. There would be increased
turbidity levels during project activity, however, if timed to avoid periods of peak biological activity, no
long-term adverse impacts are anticipated.
