9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is located at the end of Park Road on the Seaside Community
which is reached via NC 179 near Sunset Beach in Brunswick County. The
location was formerly a NC Wildlife Resources Boat Ramp. The use as a Wildlife
was abandoned and the are is now used as a launch for the surrounding
subdivision(s). There are now two concrete ramps with piers having a total
width of approximately 40'. The ramps extend out from mean high water (mhw)
approximately 40'. The access channel from the ramp to the waterway has been
excavated at least two times. There is a shoaling problem in the area.
Present offshore depths range from approximately -1.0' to -8.0' mean low water
(mlw). The adjacent waters are classified ak SA, closed to shellfishing and
are a designated primary nursery area. The high ground associated with the
site is primarily open fields and unimproved parking. Coastal wetlands are
found to either side of the ramp area.
The applicants propose to dredge another access channel into the site to
improve the ramp and add a travel lift slip and to construct a dry stack
storage building with parking. The access channel will be approximately 200'
long x 60' wide. The travel lift slip will be approximately 80' long x 24'
wide. Depths wi range -3-.54- m1w in the t Ii to -6.0' mlw up to
the edge of the -8.0' contour along the AIWW. Approximately 3000 yards will be
excavated and will be deposited on adjacent high ground. One of the existing
ramps will be retained and the other will, be converted to a travel lift slip.
Three floating docks will be installed to serve the ramp and lift area. Each
will be approximately 4' x 32'. Two baffle-board break water each
approximately 90' long will be installed to the extreme outside of the
ramp/lift area. These structures will have lights at the waterward ends for
navigational purposes. A paved area will connect the ramp/lift to a proposed
dry stack building approximately 112' x 260' in dimension. The structure will
house approximately 160 boats. There will be an office in this structure
served by a septic tank system. The existing parking lot will be improved and
storm water retention will be added. A permanent spoil disposal area for
approximately 1000 cubic yards/year measuring 100' x 100' has been designated
at the southwest corner of the tract.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The project will result in the redredging of approximately 13,900 square feet
of primarily nursery area bottom. The proposed width of 60' should be
restricted to the top width of the cut in order to minimize the encroachment of
the channel into the nursery area. The proposed breakwaters should help to
minimize the shoaling which has occurred in the area. Also the use of a
hydraulic dredge should provide a more stable cut than that provided by the
dragline used before.

Enclosed is the application of Mr. Paul Dennis, Sea Trail
Corporation, represented by Timber and Land Management
Consultants, Incorporated, for a Department of the Army permit and
a State Water Quality Certification to excavate a channel/basin,
construct a boatramp with piers and docks and to construct and
backfill a bulkhead on the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW),
near Seaside, Brunswick County, North Carolina. Your receipt of
this - --- ---- --- j our acceptance of a valid request for
certification in accordance with Section 325.2(b)(ii) of our
administrative regulations.
We are considering authorization of the proposed activity
pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have
determined that a water quality certification may be 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, 60 days
after receipt of a request for certification is considered a
reasonable time for State action. Therefore, if your office has
not acted on the request by April 1, 1988, the District Engineer
will deem that waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Ernest Jahnke,
telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
1 ?

Subject: Boat Ramp with Associated Docks,
Dredging and Dry Storage Marina

Dear Bob:

for Sea -Trail Corp. ,
NC
Enclosed is our application with supporting documents and work
plats for a CAMA permit for the subject work along with our check
in the amount of $100 to cover the costs o processing the
application. Also, by copy of this letter we are making concurrent
application for a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Permit for the work
from the Wilmington District Office of the Corps. Further, we have
forwarded a copy of this letter and application by certified mail
to the adjacent riparian waterfront landowners as listed on Page 3
of the application for their review/comment.
As detailed in the application and shown on the work plats,
the activities for which we are requesting a permit include the
following elements:
Dredging of an access channel/anchorage basin from
the terminus of the boat ramp at the foot of Park Road to
the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway Channel. The proposed
channel has been designed to flare horizontally and to
slope vertically towards the waterway channel to enhance.
flushing, circulation and to reduce water quality
impacts. It is also hoped that this design will minimize
future maintenance dredging. Dredging will be by
hydraulic dredge with spoil disposal in the designated
high ground disposal area depicted on the attached work
plats.

Construction of a boat ramp and associated "Y"
shaped pier with protective bulkhead and floating docks.
The concrete boat ramp will be constructed over the
existing ramp at the site which was constructed by the
N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission (Note: This ramp is
no longer owned and maintained by the Commission. It is
now owned and maintained by the Corporation). The
proposed bulkheads adjacent to the piers are designed to
prevent the movement of sediment into the dredged area
immediately in front of the ramp and to stabilize the
overall structure. It will also function as a
breakwater.
On the upland area of the tract, a pre-engineered
steel dry storage marina building will be constructed on
a concrete slab. Associated with this structure will be
a small office and fuel facilities.
It should be noted that this site is historically predisposed
to marine related activities due to the presence of the existing
boat ramp and associated parking area. The proposed project is
designed to enhance and improve the current use in an
environmentally sound and sensitive manner consistent with existing
a ations governing marina siting. Following is a brief
discussion on how the pr constructed and operated to
minimize or prevent any adverse environmenta i
Impacts on Wetlands: A special effort will be made
to avoid any impacts on wetlands associated with the
site. No marsh vegetation will be removed or destroyed
as the docks and piers with bulkheads will be installed
waterward of fringing marsh (see work plats). No dredge
spoils will be placed in wetlands. All spoil will be
placed in the upland diked disposal area.
Water Quality Considerations: No overboard sewage
discharges, overnight dockage or live-aboards will be
permitted. The purpose of the docks and piers is for
normal activities related to the launching and retrieval
of small to medium sized watercraft stored in the dry
storage marina. As indicated above, potential for spills
of petroleum products will be significantly reduced by
dispensing same away from the waterfront. Also, the dry
storage of boats eliminates the need for application of
toxic bottom paints to vessels stored at the proposed
facility.

Control of Stormwater Runoff: Impervious surface
will be limited to 13.3% within the 75 ft. setback area
of the site. In the upland area of the site several
design features will be included to control potential
stormwater impacts. The parking lot will be left unpaved
(if necessary) and will be covered with pea gravel to
afford some infiltration of stormwater. The site will be
regraded using suitable dessicated spoil material or
imported fill as needed to divert any runoff from the
parking lot to a stormwater retention pond and/or a
reinfiltration swale (French/Dutch drains) along Park
Road. Runoff from the roof of the dry storage building
will be collected by gutters and downspouts and will be
piped to the stormwater retention pond. The pond will be
equipped with a control release structure. Overflow from
the pond will be diverted to the rock and gravel lined
reinfiltration subsurface fields and/or ditch running
parallel to Park Road as shown on the work plats. This
system is designed to reinfiltrate excess stormwater into
the ground thereby preventing any direct discharge of
stormwater to the sound. During the construction phase
of the project, appropriately placed silt fences will be
used to prevent siltation. Also, disturbed areas will be
seeded within 30 days after site disturbance to prevent
_e? n a d siltation impacts.
Spoil Disposal: A hydraulic dredge will be use
the first time at this site to minimize the impacts of
previous double handling drag line work. Spoil will be
placed in an upland disposal area to allow for solids
settling prior to discharge of clear effluent to the
waterway. Once the dredge spoil has dessicated, it will
be used to regrade the site prior to the construction of
the storage building. A segment of the site will be set
aside for a permanent dredge spoil disposal area for
future maintenance dredging.
We trust that this application can receive your early
attention. Please contact me if you have any questions concerning
the project or the application. Thank you for assistance.
