8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The owner proposes to replace the existing concrete/asbestos bulkhead with a new
bulkhead. The new bulkhead will be located two (2) feet waterward of the existing bulkhead and will impact
an area of coastal marsh (Spartina Alterniflora) approximately 2' x 30'.

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The applicant's property is located at 8508 Bald Eagle Lane, in Wilmington, New Hanover County. The
project area is located adjacent to the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) and is located in an area locally
known as Porter's Neck.
To get to the site: take NC Hwy 17 north from Wilmington. Turn right onto Porter's Neck Road and go to stop
sign. Take a left and the Sinclair property will be on the right approximately 1/2 mile from Porter's Neck Road.
The high ground portion of the property contains a two story single family residence. The elevation at the
property varies, from approximately 3 feet to 12 feet above normal high water. The vegetation of the site
consists of mostly lawn grasses and landscaping.
The property has approximately 225 feet of shoreline along the eastern edge bordering the AIWW. The current
bulkhead (mostly concrete and asbestos), accounts for roughly 200 feet of the total shoreline. There is a 30 foot
x 40 foot area of Salt Marsh Cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora), located along the northern line of the existing
bulkhead.
The Division of Water Quality has classified the waters of the AIWW, in the vicinity of the subject site as
"ORW". The areas adjacent the subject property are NOT designated as Primary Nursery Areas (PNA) by the
Division of Marine Fisheries and they are CLOSED to the harvesting of shellfish.
PROPOSED PROJECT The applicant is proposing to install the new bulkhead approximately two (2) feet
water ward of the existing bulkhead. The newly installed bulkhead would disturb a 2 foot x 30 foot section of
Salt Marsh Cordgrass (Spartina alterniora) along the northern section of the property. The remaining 160
foot section of proposed bulkhead would incorporate approximately 322 feet of estuarine and public trust
waters.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The construction and placement of the new bulkhead would encompass approximately 191 linear feet of
estuarine shoreline. The new bulkhead would be positioned approximately 2 feet waterward of the existing
bulkhead and would impact a 2 foot x 30 foot area of coastal wetlands and the remaining bulkhead would be
located landward of all other coastal wetland vegetation. The proposed project would result in the impact of
approximately 60 square feet of low coastal marsh, 322 square feet ofnon vegetated wetlands/open waters and
3,820 square feet of high ground due to the placement of the bulkhead tie back rods, supports and backfill.
