8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to modify his existing CAMA Permit No. 77 -95 to
allow upgrading of the existing boat ramp by constructing additional launch piers and excavating a
channel to the ramp to facilitate deep water access.

TIMOTHY GENE FORREST
Beaufort County
The applicant proposes to develop a 2.45 acre tract of property located on the south side
of the Tar /Pamlico River bridge and on the east side of Hwy. 17 adjacent the Pamlico River in
Beaufort County. The Pamlico River is an inland water in this area. The area subject to the
proposed development has been, and still is, regularly maintained and has been subject to a variety
of earlier developments including: a metal storage building, a concrete boat ramp and launch pier,
access drives, and an existing pier associated with commerce in years past. Plants on the site
include: Upland grass and weeds, Cypress, Sycamore, Maple, Ash, Gum, Elm, Black Willow,
Swamp Privett, and Wax Myrtle. The shoreline bordering the proposed development is relatively
stable and sandy as is the adjacent highground. Based upon remnant pilings, which are more
obvious during periods of low water, another pier once existed near the Hwy. 17 bridge on the
upstream property boundary. Naturally occurring deep water offshore probably helps explain the
obvious history of water access and /or water related businesses. The applicant has explained that
Hurricanes Bertha and Fran in 1996 resulted in the establishment of a sand bar offshore thus
restricting the use of the boat ramp.
The applicant proposes to deepen the access to an existing boat ramp by dredging 10,165
sq. ft. (±941 cu. yds.) of river bottom. The average existing water depth is 2 '/z feet and the
proposed final project depth is 5 feet. Via Major CAMA Permit No. 77 -95 the applicant has
already been permitted to widen and lengthen the existing boat access ramp. The applicant is also
proposing to install two new boat launch piers, both will be 4 feet wide, one will be 70 feet long
and the other 90 feet long.
The proposed deepening will result in the excavation of 10,165 sq. ft. of river bottom.
Since this area of the river is primarily coarse sand there should be a minimal amount of short
term turbidity. Sand in this area seems to be continually shifting and therefore the benefit of
dredging may be short lived. The installation of two additional launch piers should result in only
short term localized turbidity. I would consider the proposed final project depth of 5 feet to still
be a shallow water habitat and therefore not a complete loss of a critical habitat area.
