Rayfield & Gaster
9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is located within the Winding Creek Subdivision at Lots 47 and 48 on Walden Pond
Lane adjacent to Nancy's Creek near Southport in Brunswick County, NC. The Winding Creek
Subdivision is located off Bethel Road (SR 1525) off NC Hwy 133. The applicants are two adjoining
riparian owners. The lots are approximately 0.7 and 0.8 acres with an elevation of approximately 18
ft above mean high water. The combined waterfront footage of both lots is over 200 feet. There are
no structures on the lots which are sparsely covered with trees and underbrush. Vegetated wetlands
adjacent to the lots consist almost exclusively of Juncus romerianus mixed with Spartina alterniflora and
extends approximately 470 feet before reaching open water.
The Brunswick County Land Use Plan classifies the area as Urban Transitional. The adjacent waters
are classified as SC waters by the Division of Environmental Management. The adjacent waters are
classed as Primary Nursery Area by the Division of Marine Fisheries but are closed to the taking of
shellfish.
The applicants propose to construct a 4 X 472 ft. pier to open water centered on the surveyed riparian
corridor line between their properties. The pier would begin at or about mean high water and extend
waterward elevated over the Spartina alterniflora and Juncus roemerianus marsh to open water to reach
an approximate 4 ft. mean low water contour. The applicants are also requesting a 8 X 14 ft. stationary
dock and two 6 X 10 ft. floating docks at the end of the pier. All structures and pilings are proposed
to extend no greater than 1 \3 the width of the water body. The westside adjacent lot ( #46) has uplands
which extend further waterward and expands to a point projecting into what appears to be the riparian
corridor of Lot 47. Due to that unique shoreline configuration, a portion of the stationary dock and one
of the floating docks will extend approximately 11 ft into the 15 ft riparian setback area adjacent to Lot
46 on the western side. However, the applicants have presented a copy of the deed for lot 46 in which
it is stated that the owners of lot 47 may "construct, maintain and repair a pier or dock facility which
may encroach upon the current or future regulatory setbacks to a distance not to exceed 15 feet onto
the subject Lot 46. "
The proposed development came under CAMA major permit review because of the greater than 400
ft length of the proposed pier.
10. ANTICIPATED EMPACTS
The proposed structure would incorporate 232 square feet of Estuarine and Public Trust Waters. The
pier walkway would shade approximately 1888 square feet of coastal wetlands, but, if it is elevated
sufficiently, no long -term adverse impacts are anticipated from the project.
The project as proposed meets the 1/3 rule, totals less than 500 square feet dock space and is at least
15 ft. from the eastside adjacent riparian corridor and has received a waiver from the westside riparian
neighbor.

Subject: Waldon Pond
Project No. SW8 970509
Brunswick County
New Pier and Channel Dredging
Dear Mr. Rayfield:
The Wilmington Regional Office received a copy of the CAMA Major Permit Application for a new pier and
dredging an access channel to Nancy's Creek on May 5, 1997. Staff review of the plans and specifications has determined
that the development activities proposed will not pose a threat to surface water quality from stormwater runoff. The
Director has determined that projects that are reviewed and approved by the Division as not posing a water quality threat
from stormwater runoff should not be subject to the stormwater management permitting requirements of 15A NCAC
2H. 1000. By copy of this letter, we are informing you that your project will not require a stormwater management permit.
Please keep in mind that this determination does not relieve you of your legal responsibility to obtain other permits
which may be required by the Division of Water Quality, the Division of Land Resources, Coastal Areas Management
Act, Federal, State, or Local Governments. In addition, any future modifications to the project will require additional
review from this Office to assure that stormwater impacts are not an issue.
If you have any questions or need additional information concerning this matter please contact Ms. Linda Lewis
at (910) 395 -3900.
Sincerely,
V,. , k - C lam. <� l- c V c r—
