* USGS NEW BERN, 7.5 MIN TOPO PHOTO REV. 1983

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT - RAY E. MCCOTTER
PAGE #2

9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: Mr. Ray E. McCotter, the applicant
proposes to develop a 168 boat slip marina on the Trent
River, at his property known as the Quality Inn Motel, off
Highway 70 by-pass and SR 1004, in James City, Craven
County. Development of the motel and a wastewater discharge
structure was authorized by the Division of Coastal
Management in 1985 by way of Permit #19-86. The motel
project was completed successfully in 1986 and in accordance
with the permit conditions. At that time, a 5 acre section
of land was separated from the overall 23.71 acre tract of
land for the motel development. The project site is
situated between the railroad trestle on the west and the
old Trent River bridge at Union Point to the east. The
referenced aerial photography and USGS Topographic Map will
also help orient the review agencies to the project site.
Mr. McCotter's current application proposal involves the
expansion of the motel project to include a 12.78 acre
section of land immediately adjacent to the motel site.
This site was active several years ago as a shipyard and
fabrication plant known as the Trent Iron Works. This
section of shoreline is characterized by a lengthy but badly
deteriorating steel bulkhead that originally defined two
boat basins and a railway area separated by a large
rectangular peninsulas of land protruding into the river. The
applicant's project plans include the repair and replacement
of approximately 1700 linear feet of steel bulkhead in and
around the ironworks property. Over the years, soil erosion
behind the old bulkhead has allowed 10-15' of backfill to
wash out. Installation of the repair and replacement
bulkhead will require filling some 7,000 sq. ft. of water
landward of the existing bulkhead. In addition to the
repair and replacement bulkhead, some 400 linear feet of new
bulkhead will be installed in front of the motel on an
irregular alignment-as provided by representatives of the
Division of Coastal Management and the U.S. Corps of
Engineers. This bulkhead will be positioned landward of all
coastal wetlands and 404 type vegetation. The marsh fringe
varies from 501-100' wide and is dominated by giant
cord grass (Spartina cynosuroides). By the end of a typical
growing season, the giant reed grass will obtain a height of
101-121 tall. The project plans in and around the motel
show an area of highground property to be backfilled
landward of the proposed new bulkhead. This area will
measure about 430' long x 50' wide. The backfill operation
will help slope and elevate the area between the bulkhead
and the existing motel. This will allow easier pedestrian
access from the motel and restaurant area to the proposed
marina facility. The applicant plans also call for the
construction of an elevated open-piled deck to be attached
to the restaurant. This highground deck will measure
approximately 24' wide x 110' long.
One hundred and fifty-eight (158) boat slips are scheduled
for construction in association with 3 floating piers to
extend into the Trent River immediately in front of the
motel. Bridging type structures called "gangways",
measuring 31-4' wide, will connect each of the 3 floating
docks with the proposed new bulkhead in front of the motel.
Each of the 3 floating piers will be 6' wide and
approximately 459' long. This has been calculated by the
applicant to be just less than one-third of the overall
width of the Trent River at this location. Each pier will
accommodate 23 to 27 boat slips for a subtotal of 158
wetslips in what has been termed Basin #3. The 3 floating
piers and the associated boat slips will create a footprint
measuring 459' long x 340' wide for a total area of 3.58
acres of occupied surface water. Water depths vary from
-1.5' near the shoreline to -13' near the offshore end of
the piers. No excavation or dredging is proposed to improve
the usability of the shallow water slips nearest the
Cunningham Bridge and along the shoreline.
On Workplat Sheet 2 of 8, some excavation is shown for Basin
#2. The width of the old basin will be increased from
approximately 80' to 1201. This will require the excavation
of an area of highground property measuring 60' wide x 330'
long. The new basin will involve almost 20,000 sq. ft. of
highground property. The original basin will also be
maintenance excavated. The maintenance area measures 330'
long x 80' wide. The adjusted water depths in the new basin
will be -6' on NWL. The proposed expansion of Basin #2 will
make it comparable in size with Basin #1 which is nearest
the railroad trestle. A notation has been made that no
piers, docks or mooring facilities are proposed in Basin #2,
except for a 430' long pier paralleling the western side of
the basin. It can be anticipated that some 16' to 20' boats
could be moored along this section of the basin, or some 10
30' to 40' long boats could also occupy this same length of
waterfront. The Atlantic and East Carolina Railroad
maintains a 100' wide right-of-way extending into the water
on either side of the centerline of the railroad track.
Basin #1 is adjacent to the railroad right-of-way on the
downstream side of the trestle. Basin #1, which requires no
maintenance excavation, measures approximately 320' long x
120' wide. As proposed, Basin #1 will be outfitted with a
set of 2 floating dock structures each accommodating 8 boat
slips. Each of the floating docks will be about 75' long
extending in a westerly direction towards the railroad

trestle. As the workplat shows, a 40' buffer will be
maintained between the railroad right-of-way and the ends of
the proposed docks. Near the southeast corner of Basin #1
is an old existing boat ramp of the conventional trailer
type. The ramp will be maintained as the repair and
replacement bulkhead is installed around the old ironworks
property.
According to the application, and specific inquiry by the
Division of Coastal Management, the applicant proposes no
development of the highground property adjoining Basin #1 or
#2. The only new development shown on the Workplat Sheet 2
of 8 is the installation of an above-ground gas tank to be
located on a concrete slab measuring approximately 40' x
201. This will be positioned out of the CAMA 75' estuarine
shoreline AEC but will provide dockside gas pump service to
the area adjacent to Basins #1 and #2. The proposed project
will generate little to no impervious surfaces inside or
outside of the 75' estuarine shoreline AEC. The applicant
plans no new parking lot areas but will rely on the existing
parking facilities around the motel to accommodate the
marina needs. No new bathroom facilities are proposed.
People using the 168 slip marina will share the public
restrooms at the motel. It is noteworthy that the surface
waters of the Trent River, in and around the project site,
are classified "SB".
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The Quality Inn Motel and Restaurant
is currently operating with an onsite wastewater treatment
plant with a capacity of 40,000 gallons per day. The
affluent discharge to the Trent River is made at a point
along the backside of Basin #1. It is hopeful that the
carrying capacity of the treatment plant and the existing
restrooms will handle the increased numbers of people
anticipated at the marina. The same concerns are expressed
over the lack of designated parking spaces in and around the
12 acre ironworks property. Although no significant amount
of impervious surface areas are proposed for the development
away from the actual motel site, it can be anticipated that
at sometime in the future higher density development will
occur on the unused portion of this 24 acre tract of land.
Construction of the new 400' long bulkhead in front of
the motel will take place without any direct impact on the
vegetated wetlands. Installation of the repair and
replacement bulkhead (some 1700 linear feet) will require the
filling of some 7,000 sq. ft. of surface water landward of
the existing bulkhead. These washed out areas behind the
old steel bulkhead do not appear to be productive in terms

of finfish habitat. The Sheraton Motel located on the
waterfront in downtown New Bern directly opposite from the
Quality Inn operates a marina with 340 boat slips. The CAMA
permit for that operation was issued in 1985 and allowed a
similar pier configuration as that being proposed by Mr.
McCotter. It is anticipated that the proposed 168 slip
marina can be conditioned through its operational standards
so as to reduce the likelihood of water quality problems
that would downgrade the "SB" classification.
If the proposed marina brings an additional 168 boats to
this section of the Trent River, it will surely increase the
frequency with which the Cunningham drawbridge (US Highway
70 Business) opens and closes. There is some indication
that existing boat traffic has caused some major traffic tie
ups extending across the Neuse River, through the Town of
Bridgeton, and up Highway 17. This potential and social
economic impact of the proposed project must be carefully
evaluated.
Maintenance excavation within Basin #2 may produce a spoil
material ladened with residual pollutants associated with
previous work operations over the past several years.
Sampling of these sediments in Basin #2 may give further
guidance as to the acceptability of maintenance excavation
and the dispensation of the dredged spoil.
LAMA REVIEW: As of this writing, the 1988 updated Land Use
Plan for Craven County is at the printers and not available
for specific review. When that document becomes available,
the proposed marina project will be evaluated in terms of
the goals and objectives for that document.
