Sara and Kyle,
Attached area pictures of the Moorings at Albemarle LLC site (in Perquimans County) taken during the
40-50 knot NE wind storm we had in May.
The water level was down about 2.3 ft to 2.5 ft allowing for full substrate exposure and viewing of the
substrate. Upon our inspection we found no beds of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAVs) within the
proposed pier and docking area as well as along any area of the proposed bulkhead. Any dark colored
areas shown in the photograph are areas of clay substrate exposed by historical erosion of the
highground bank.
For reference points in the photographs:
Photograph #1: shows a view looking northwest from the middle of the shoreline
The remnants of a tractor are in the foreground and logs further
northwest, No SAVs were found in this area.
Photograph #2: Shows a view of the proposed pier and docking area
No SAVs were found in this area. The dark areas in the
foreground are where local kids were riding ATVs on the exposed substrate
Photograph #3 shows a close up picture of the ridged sandy substrate very close to the
location of the proposed pier and docking with no SAVs in approximately 2-3 inches
of water which remained on the substrate.
Photograph #4- shows a view just to the north of the proposed pier location
area revealing no SAVs
All other photographs are just additional evidence if needed for your records.
All dark patches shown on this photographs are dark detritus that blew in prior to the storm or are the
exposure of the clay/loam stratigraphy exposed by he historical erosion at the site.
Let me know if you need any further evidence or supporting data for determination on the SAV survey. I
feel that this photographic evidence would be better than a survey saying NO SAYS.
Sincerely,
