proposing to add two sets of floating docks in two phases.

CAPE FEAR COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Page 2
9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION - The project site is located adjacent to the west side of the
College campus on the shoreline of the Northeast Cape Fear River. There is an existing
concrete access pier and dock located on the property. There is also an existing boat
ramp located in the southeast comer of the basin area. The shoreline of the property is
unvegetated. Soundings in the project area indicate that depths range from approximately
0.3' mean low water (mlw) to -4.2' mean low water (mlw). The college has utilized this
area for small boat launching and sail boat use training. Continuous shoaling typical of the
river throughout this general vicinity has gradually diminished the use of this area. The
dredged area is proposed to be approximately 200' long by 210' wide. The project depth
is proposed at -5' mean low water. In addition to the basin area the applicant also
proposes to dredge in front of the existing boat ramp area and also the proposed boat
ramp location on the north side of the site. Approximately 5,185 cu. yds. of mud, silt and
sand will be excavated hydraulically and will be pumped to a spoil disposal area located
on the west bank of the river. The area identified as spoil area #1 on the sheet identified
as site plan view-dredge disposal site appears to be suitable for the disposal of this
material. This site is " L" shaped and one arm measures approximately 380" long by 120'
wide. The other arm measures approximately 520' long by 150' wide. State permit # 120-
95 has authorized the improvement of the shoreline of the project location in conjunction
with the Wilmington Water Front Access Project. This maintenance of the basin should
be viewed as a major modification of the existing permit authorization.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS - The project involves the maintenance excavation of
approximately 5,185 cu yds of material which is proposed to be pumped across to the west
side of the river upstream of the project site. The current basin was last dredged
approximately 20 years ago and has been subjected to the ongoing siltation problems
experienced by other river oriented activities in the project location. Budgetary concerns
have delayed the clean out of the basin. The basin area is used by the college to cant'
out the Marine Science and Technology programs and the partial elimination of the use of
the basin by the shoaling has had a negative impact on the programs. Although the basin
area is located within the primary nursery designation the project is anticipated to have
minimal negative impact on this resource other than short term turbidity and siltation
associated with the dredging. Of course the dredging should be timed to avoid the period
of peak biological activity.
Submitted by: C. Robert Stroud, Jr. Date: April 22, 1997 Office: Wilmington
4 6.
Narrative:
This project will restore Cape Fear Community College's boat basin for use by the
college. The basin has silted in over the years and is not usable at high tide. The basin
will be dredged to a 5' control depth, allowing use for the college educational programs.
The spoil area is located directly across the river on property owned by Mr. David Murrill.
This property is a previously approved spoil area. (It is the site of the former Wilmington
Boat yard.). In deference to Mr Murrill's wishes, inspection of the site should be
coordinated through Mr. Philpott at CFCC (phone [phone]). Mr. Philpott anticipates
that Mr. Murrill's local agent, Mr. Randal Bray will want to accompany any visitors to the
site.

SITE SURVEY
CFCC Basin Bathymetry Survey
7/18/96
Depths were measured in feet with a fathometer at 45 sites within the CFCC basin on
July 18, 1996. Depths were corrected to MLLW by readings of a tide board placed in the
basin for the survey. This basin tide board was set according to the tide board at the
Corps of Engineers basin just downriver.
Site rows, numbered shoreward 1 to 7, were 40 feet apart except rows 5, 6 & 7 which
were only 20 feet apart.
Depths were measured at 40 foot intervals across the basin (south to north) and lettered
A through G. Initial "unlettered" sites were measured right at the CFCC dock on each
row. Only row #1 at the North end of the pier had a "G" measured; the rows within the
basin proper were too shallow and too close to the vegetation along the Coast Line
Convention Center to have "G" depths measured from the boat.

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION - The project site is located adjacent to the west side of the
College campus on the shoreline of the Northeast Cape Fear River. There is an existing
concrete access pier and dock located on the property. There is also an existing boat
ramp located in the southeast comer of the basin area. The shoreline of the property is
unvegetated. Soundings in the project area indicate that depths range from approximately
0.3' mean low water (mlw) to -4.2' mean low water (mlw). The college has utilized this
area for small boat launching and sail boat use training. Continuous shoaling typical of the
river throughout this general vicinity has gradually diminished the use of this area. The
dredged area is proposed to be approximately 200' long by 210' wide. The project depth
is proposed at -5' mean low water. In addition to the basin area the applicant also
proposes to dredge in front of the existing boat ramp area and also the proposed boat
ramp location on the north side of the site. Approximately 5,185 cu. yds. of mud, silt and
sand will be excavated hydraulically and will be pumped to a spoil disposal area located
on the west bank of the river. The area identified as spoil area #1 on the sheet identified
as site plan view-dredge disposal site appears to be suitable for the disposal of this
material. This site is "U shaped and one arm measures approximately 380" long by 120'
wide. The other arm measures approximately 520' long by 150' wide. State permit # 120-
95 has authorized the improvement of the shoreline of the project location in conjunction
with the Wilmington Water Front Access Project. This maintenance of the basin should
be viewed as a major modification of the existing permit authorization.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS - The project involves the maintenance excavation of
approximately 5,185 cu yds of material which is proposed to be pumped across to the west
side of the river upstream of the project site. The current basin was last dredged
approximately 20 years ago and has been subjected to the ongoing siltation problems
experienced by other river oriented activities in the project location. Budgetary concerns
have delayed the clean out of the basin. The basin area is used by the college to carry
out the Marine Science and Technology programs and the partial elimination of the use of
the basin by the shoaling has had a negative impact on the programs. Although the basin
area is located within the primary nursery designation the project is anticipated to have
minimal negative impact on this resource other than short term turbidity and siltation
associated with the dredging. Of course the dredging should be timed to avoid the period
of peak biological activity.
