9. PROTECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is located at 702 Airlie Road, adjacent to the north side of Bradley Creek, in Nei
Hanover County. The 6.7 acre tract is part of the locally renown Airlie Gardens, known for it'
beautifully landscaped azalea, camellia, and flower gardens. The applicant's property is south of th
main gardens, and the highground vegetation is primarily live oaks, mature pine, and lawn grass. It i
approximately 600-650 feet wide and approximately 350-590 feet in depth. There is a gravel drive o.
the west side of the property which accesses the pier and continues along the shoreline returning to th
house.. Along Bradley Creek, there is a border of coastal wetlands, varying between 25 feet wide in th
area of the pier, to 180 feet wide in the cove at the west end of the property . The wetlands. consist
of smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) which transitions to high coastal marsh adjacent to th
highground. This high marsh consists of sea oxeye (Borrichia frutescens), salt meadow grass (Spartin
atens , sea lavender (Limonium, spp.), and occasional shrubs, marsh elder (Iva frutescens), any
grounsel-bush (Bacchants halimifolia). The landward limits of the wetlands have been delineated b-
State and federal field staff as shown on the attached survey.
Bradley Creek is classified as SA by the NC Division of Water Quality, and is CLOSED to the harves
of shellfish. The area is not a designated primary nursery area (PNA) by the NC Division of Marini
Fisheries.
After the severe flooding and shoreline damage during hurricane Fran, the applicant is proposing t(
stabilize her property by placing rip rap stone along it's shoreline. The proposed alignment for the ril
rap is well above mean high water (MHW), and landward of the wetland delineation line. There woulc
be approximately 900-950 lineal feet of rip rap, 3-5 feet in height, and up to 5 feet in width, depending
on the topography. There would be some areas, landward of the rip rap, where backfill and landscaping
will be necessary.
10. ANTICIPATED EAPACTS
The placement of the rip rap stone would disturb approximately 4750 square feet of area, landward a
the wetlands, and some additional highground disturbance resulting from associated backfill an(
landscaping. Rip rap shoreline stabilization is more enviro-friendly than conventional vertical woodet
bulkheads, and would actually create habitat for numerous marine organisms.
Submitted by: E. F. Brooks Date: 5/27/97 Office: Wilmington
The following is a proposal for a shoreline stabilization for the Waddell
Corbett tract located at 702 Airhe Road.
Rip Rap will be placed approximately two feet high and five feet wide and
will be positioned above the mean high water mark,as staked by the CAMA
Representative.
The purpose of the proposed project is to control erosion and flooding of
the W.A.Corbett tract.
