Recommendations for State Permit — Martin W. Willard 1/5/2022
Shoreline length per DCM = — 319 LF x 8 SF/LF = 2552 SF (2000 SF is the maximum allowed per DCM)
Shoreline length per City of Wilmington = 319 LF x 4 SF/LF =1276 SF (800 is maximum allowed per City of
Wilmington)
Existing floating dock (6' x 14') = 84 SF
Existing fixed ramp take off (5' x 4') = 20 SF
Existing pier (4' x 30') =120 SF
Existing finger pier (4' x 12') = 48 SF
Existing fixed platform (16' x 16') = 256 SF
Proposed floating dock (4' x 16') = 64 SF
Proposed fixed pier (6' x 284') =1704 SF (access credit, not counted)
One proposed boat lift (12' x 8') = not counted for platform allocations
Total = 592 SF
The new docking facility would provide a total of 5 formalized boat slips. It appears that the proposed
pier that extends into the AIWW is CONSISTENT with the use standards set forth in NCAC 07H
.0208(b)(6). The proposed docking facilities extending into the access channel are CONSISTENT with
the use standards set forth in NCAC 07H .0208(b)(6)(G). The proposed structures would exceed the I/4
width of the man-made access channel but will not exceed the 1/3 width nor the existing pier headline
within the -man-made canal.
The proposed excavation of the area around the existing basin and canal appears to be CONSISTENT with
15 NCAC 07H.0208 (b)(1) based on previous permit authorization and maintenance events. The original
footprint of the access channel into the AIWW, however is unknown. It appears that the applicant has taken
the shortest path to deep water based on existing water depths. It is the opinion of this office that the area
for the proposed excavation is located in an area that has been historically impacted and in continuous use
for stocking and navigational purposes.
This office has no objection to the proposed work, provided it is consistent with state and federal permitting
requirements are met.

The proposal was submitted to the City of Wilmington for review without response. Currently, it is unclear
whether this project meets local city ordinances or not.
The new docking facility would provide a total of 7 formalized boat slips. It appears that the proposed pier that extends into
the A.1WW is CONSISTENT with the use standards set forth in NCAC 07H .0208(b)(6). The proposed docking facilities
extending into the access channel are INCONSISTENT with the use standards set forth in NCAC 07H .0208(b)(6)(G). The
proposed structures would exceed the A width of the man-made access channel.
The proposed bulkhead appears to be CONSISTENT with 15 NCAC 7H.0208 (b)(7) Use Standards for Bulkheads.
The proposed excavation of the area around the existing basin and canal appears to be CONSISTENT with 15 NCAC
07H.0208 (b)(1) based on previous pen -nit authorization and maintenance events. The original footprint of the access channel

Hey Gregg — I am so sorry. I went out there last week to take a look at what was on the ground and
am just now getting around to comparing it to what was submitted. The new proposal is consistent
with City Code based on the legal nonconformities on the ground and the reduction in the covered
gazebo area to comply with current standards.
Thanks!

Morning Kathryn,
Sorry to keep bothering but I wanted to make sure the revisions previously sent were consistent with
the City before I send them to the other resource agencies. He did mention you were on site
recently. But I don't want to further limit the timing of the project to give Mr. Willard due process.
If the revisions are acceptable please let me know. I am planning on taking the project off hold on
Monday and sending the revision out for agency review.
Thanks as always,
Gregg

Gregg Bodnar, NCDEQ: Nm ECT10 N vld! pa ,
The city has reviewed the proposed request to reconstruct and expand the existing
pier(s), dredge, and install a bulkhead at 7719 Masoriboro Sound Road and offers
the following comments;
• The existing pier may be extended as proposed and the existing 1`6' x 16'
(256 square foot) platform maybe replaced;. however; the maximum
covered area of the platformn is 200 square feet (16' x 1.2.5').
• No new piers are permitted; however, the repair or replacement of existing
piers is allowed provided no enlargement of same is granted.
• Bulkheads are permitted only by variance from the Board of Adjustment
and provided the property has an identifiable erosion problem or unusual
features; coastal management has documented the need for shoreline
stabilization, and the. stabilization measured offered are no greater than
necessary to resolve the erosion issues.
• Within the 35' conservation. resource buffer, the city of Wilmington does
not allow excavation, grading,. filling, or ditching except for within access
channels previously approved by the Department of Environmental
Quality pursuant to a valid CAMA permit. Maintenance dredging of the
existing canal. and turning. basin is allowable under city code.

To: Gregg Bodnar 3 C I � � � POI- �`
From: Michael Christenbury, Wilmington District Planner
Subject: Consistency Determination, Major Permit Application, W. Martin Willard,
Wilmington, New Hanover County
Date: November 22, 2021
The applicant is proposing maintenance dredging of the existing canal and turning basin
to the 1970 permitted depth of -3.0 feet, 20 feet wide at MLW with a 40' X 40' basin.
The applicant does not intend to dredge the previously permitted area to the west of the
turning basin. Also proposed is replacing the existing 4' x 270' pier and 16 x 16 platform,
with a 6' x 284' pier with 16 x16 platform with 16'x12.5' gazebo and 4 x 16' floating
dock. Also, replacing the existing Tee pier with boat lift in the canal and replacing the
existing floating dock in the canal, as well as repairing the existing PVC roller ramp and
a mooring for a 30' sailboat within the basin.
The project is located at 7719 Masonboro Sound Road, adjacent to the AIWW in
Wilmington, New Hanover County.
Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC's) impacted by the proposal are EW CW, ES and
PTA. Waters at the project site are classified as SA-ORW and are open to the harvesting
of shellfish. The area is a Primary Nursery Area.
I have reviewed this proposal for consistency with the 2006 Wilmington -New Hanover
County CAMA Land Use Plan and offer the following comments.
The general area of the project is classified as Resource Protection.
In general, the Wilmington -New Hanover County Joint Land Use Plan allows
development in Resource Protection classified AECs, which is consistent with the State's
minimum use standards. The Wilmington -New Hanover County Joint Land Use Plan
contains some policies, which exceed the State's minimum use standards, however none
of these policies are applicable to this project.
This project appears to be consistent with the 2006 Wilmington -New Hanover
County Joint Land Use Plan Update.

All,
Pursuant to the CAMA-Corps Programmatic Permit process for PGP-291, the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management (NC DCM) has forwarded to our office a copy of the CAMA permit application, Field Investigation Report
and BioReport for the subject project. The attached notice requests federal agency comments on this project by March
3, 2022.
The proposed project would be located in a man-made canal connected to the AIWW at 7719 Masonboro Sound Road in
Wilmington, New Hanover County, INC.
Dredging within the canal would occur at irregular widths (generally less than 30 feet) and the width out into the AIWW
would be 30 feet. Dredging would occur to a depth of -3 MLW. Dredging would encompass approximately 12, 204
square feet of soft bottom with 1,793 cubic yards of sediment removed. Furthermore, approximately 860 square feet of
coastal wetlands would be excavated. The dredging would be conducted mechanically by a land based long reach
excavator and a barge mounted excavator. Spoil would be disposed of on -site at an upland spoil disposal area.
In addition, the following modifications to docking facilities would occur:
• Replacing the existing 4' x 270' pier and 16 x 16 platform, with a 6' x 284' pier with 16 x16 platform
with 16'x12.5' gazebo and 4 x 16' floating dock.
• Replacing the existing Tee pier with boat lift in the canal. (Slip 3 in drawing Sheet 3 of 3)
• Replacing the existing floating dock in the canal. (Slip 2 in drawing Sheet 3 of 3)
• Repairing the existing PVC roller ramp.
• Mooring for a 30' sailboat in the basin. (Slip 1 in drawing Sheet 3 of 3)
Please see the attached application narrative, plans and drawings dated June 14, 2021 and a location map for more
detailed information concerning the proposed project.

The 2 mooring buoys are currently on the north side of the AIWW pier. The plan was to keep one of
them and slip # 5 would be between the pier and the buoy. There is not a mooring buoy in the basin.
The basin slip has traditionally been secured by anchors screwed into the ground above the hi tide line. I
hope that clarifies things.

I have received confirmation from the City that the updates are consistent. I have sent the updated
plans to the resource agencies as well and have taken the project off hold as of today.
Please accept this email as notification that the project is off applicant hold as your request and the
adjusted 75 day date is 11/24/21. With that date being so close and the agencies needing to review
the updates, I would expect the project will be extended. But since the updates area reduction in

To date I have not heard back from the City. I have contacted them a couple times this week. I
would suggest giving them till Monday to reply, then I think we have given the City ample time to
reply and should take the project off hold and send the revisions to the agencies for review. I will
contact them again before the end of the week and notify them that we need to get this out for
review.
Please let me know if this is acceptable to you.

cause some problems with your re -design and it may be advantageous for you to place the project on applicant hold
while you re -work your ideas and allow DWR to hold on and wait for the re -design. An applicant hold is driven by you
and you decide when we re -start.
If this sounds good you can just email me your reply. If you'd like to discuss options please give me a call.
Thanks,

Gregg,
Both Katherine with the City, and Bryan were out of the office all last week so I was unable to get up with them. I hope
to be able to speak to both of them by tomorrow and will then have a better idea how to proceed. My initial thoughts
are to reduce the size of the Gazebo to 200sf, eliminate the bulkhead, and rebuild the existing structures within the
canal rather than replace them with new structures. I believe this will satisfy the city. As you suggested, I hope to work
out the details with Bryan and Katherine this week.
Thanks,
Martin

I meant to keep all the existing structures as is. Then apply for a 2"1 permit to replace and add structures after
consultation with the city and as funds become available. Continued use of the existing structures will be difficult if not
impossible without the maintenance dredging.

By proposed structures do you mean the new structures and keep the proposal to replace the existing structures? The
reason I ask is that the purpose and need for dredging would be the use of the docking facilities and any other water
dependent access. If there were no docking facilities on site then there would be no need to dredge.

Good Morning Mr. Bodnar,
I am trying to get in touch with someone with the City to better understand their concerns and my options. Would it be
possible to just drop all the proposed structures from the application so I can get the maintenance dredging approved
and scheduled, and then after I get everything worked out with the city get a 2"d permit later for the structures of my
project? I was intending to do it in phases anyway. After I hear back from you and speak with the city, I will let you know
if I want the applicant hold.
Thanks,
Martin

Afternoon Mr. Willard,
Please see above for recent comments from the City concerning the proposal. There are a number of things that the
City has determined are inconsistent with local ordinance. Most notably are the gazebo size, replacement of existing
piers only, and the need to receive a variance for the bulkhead. Though I think these modifications are achievable with
revisions of the project, at this time the project is inconsistent with local ordinance and would be a denial if we
continued processing the application.
I would suggest placing the project on applicant hold until you can review the City's concerns and revise the project to
be consistent with the City. This would include documentation that the City has approved the variance for the
bulkhead. Please let me know how you would like to proceed. If the applicant hold is agreeable you can reply to this
and I can place the project on hold until you are able to work through the issues. To date I do not have any other
comments of concern, but if additional comments do come in while the project is on hold I will pass them along.

Dear Mr. Willard:

Reference your application for a Department of the Army permit to conduct dredging in a
man-made canal connected to the AIWW and in Waters adjacent to the AIWW. The dredging in
the canal will occur at irregular widths (generally less than 30 feet) and the dredging width out
into the AIWW will be 30 feet. Dredging will occur to a depth of -3 MLW. The total dredging
area encompasses12,204 square feet with 1,793 cubic yards of sediment removed. The dredging
will be conducted mechanically by a land based long reach excavator and a barge mounted
excavator. Spoil will be disposed of on-site at an upland spoil disposal area.

Secondly, a docking facility will be re-constructed and constructed into the AIWW totaling
2,224 square feet of shaded area. Finally, a 14 feet by 6 feet floating dock will be added to an
existing dock in the man-made canal (Slip #2) and a boatlift will be added to another existing
dock (Slip #3) in this canal.

Your proposal has been reviewed and found to be consistent with the provisions and
objectives of the CAMA-Corps Programmatic Permit process, via Programmatic General Permit
291 (copy attached), for construction activities that receive authorization from the State of North
Carolina. Therefore, you may commence construction activity in strict accordance with the
applicable State authorization, attached Federal special conditions, PGP-291 conditions and the
approved plan. Failure to comply with the State authorization or conditions of the Federal permit
could result in civil and/or administrative penalties.

If any change in your work is required because of unforeseen or altered conditions or for
any other reason, plans revised to show the change must be sent promptly to this office and the
North Carolina Division of Coastal Management prior to performing any such change or
alteration. Such action is necessary as revised plans must be reviewed and the authorization
modified. Your Department of the Army permit will expire on December 31, 2026.

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is located at 7719 Masonboro Sound Road in New .Hanover County. The property is adjacent to the
Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW)1Masonboro Sound and is approximately 1.1 miles south of the mouth of
Hewletts Creek and approximately 0.9 miles north of the mouth of Whiskey Creek. To locate the property from
Market Street (Highway 17), travel South on College Road towards Monkey Junction. At the intersection of South
College Road and Holly Tree Road turn left. Continue east on Holly Tree Road and bear right at the stoplight onto
Pine Grove Drive. Continue on. Pine Grove Drive, which will converge with Masonboro Sound Road. Travel on
Masonboro Sound Road approximately 2.0 miles until you reach the property of interest on the left: onto an.
unimproved road that will lead towards the AIW. The project location is east of the 3-acre residential parcel
adjacent to Masonboro Sound Road. The elevation of the tract averages approximately 8' above normal high water
(hH). Existing highground development on the tract includes a gravel road. Highground vegetation consists of
lawn grasses, hardwoods and other woody species including oak, pine, dogwood, maple and magnolia. The property
then transitions into a peninsula surrounded by narrow area of high marsh approximately 15' in width, which includes
coastal, and §404 type wetlands such as: sea oxeye (Borrichia frutescens) black needle rush (Juncus roernarianus)
smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora).
There is an existing man-made basin at the southeastern point of the property, measuring approximately 40' in length
by 40' in width and a canal and access channel, measuring approximately 510' in length by 20'in width which
connects to the western side of Masonboro Sound and the AIWW. The basin and access channel are bordered by low
marsh consisting primarily of smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora). The outer portion ofthe existing canal, located
just before the open water area of western side of the AIWW is bordered by an intertidal shoal. Based on historical
aerial photography review and an on -site visit, the shoal appears to be accreting and constricting the canal which has
allowed for an area of coastal wetlands to volunteer on the northern and southern edge of the channel entrance.
Shoaling within the canal and basin has allowed for coastal wetlands to volunteer in sections on the northern side of
the access channel as well as the northern and southern sides of the basin. According to previous permit history, it
appears that approximately 860 sq. ft. of coastal wetlands consisting primarily of smooth cordgrass (Spartina
alterniflora) has volunteered itself within the previously approved excavation footprint.
Within the canal there is an existing 6' x 14' floating dock, 3'x30' PVC roller ramp, and an 18'x28' finger pier with a
manual hoist. To the northeast of the canal there is an existing 270' long by 4' wide pier that terminates at a 16' long
by 16' wide fixed platform, based on aerial imagery this pier has been in place since at least the early 90's. There are
two mooring buoys located north of the fixed platform. No permit history was found for the existing structures. The
original property owner (Willard) received Dredge and Fill State Permit No. 125 (attached) on April 7, 1970, for the
existing 40' long by 40' wide boat basin as well as a canal 510' long and 20' wide to a final project depth of-3' at
mean low water (MLW).
The Wilmington -New Hanover County Land Use Plan classifies the area as Conservation. The waters of Masonboro
Sound are classified as SA-ORW by the Division of Water Quality. The area is designated as a Primary Nursery
Area (PNA) by the Division of Marine Fisheries and is OPEN to the taking of shellfish.
PROPOSED PROJECT:
The applicant proposes to perform maintenance excavation within, an existing basin and canal, excavation of an.
access channel, install a bulkhead along the northern side of the access channel, install docking facilities within
the canal and install a docking facility northeast of the canal for a total of 7 slips.
The applicant proposes to excavate approximately 2,134 cubic yards (ey) of material consisting of bottom sediments
that have filled in the basin and canal to connect to -3' NL, which is the original authorized project depth. The
application proposes the excavation of the original authorized 40' wide by 40' long basin aswell as the 20' wide by
approximately 350' long canal to the original authorized depth of -3' NLW. The applicant proposes to excavate
through the accreted shoal to an access channel with dimensions measuring approximately 160' long by 20' wide to
connect with the western side of the AIWW. According to the applicant, the proposed excavation of the canal would
impact 860 sq. ft. of coastal wetlands consisting primarily of smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) that has
volunteered itself on the northern and southern entrance to the canal as well as the northern and southem sides of the
basin (See Sheet 2 of 3). Finally, the applicant proposes the excavation. of an approximately 250' long by 30' wide

Martin W. Willard, Page 3
access channel within the AIWW to connect to a natural back channel with the depth of -3'NLW (Sheet 2 of 3). This
area has been used historically for navigation to and from the canal since at least the 1970s (See attached DOT aerial
dated Received May 7, 2021). Water depths in the proposed area currently range from +1.6'to -2.6'NLW (see Sheets
I and 2 of 3). The application does not propose any excavation of the previously permitted canal inland of the basin.
The application states that the maintenance excavation would be executed through mechanical means, by bucket -to -
barge as well as a long reach excavator from the high ground. The excavated material would be deposited onto the
high ground portion of the applicant's property in an areameasuring 250' in length by 50' in width. The 12,500 sq. ft.
disposal area is landward of coastal wetlands, outside of Section 404 wetlands, and greater than 30'from. Normal High
Water. The application states the material would be stabilized with proper sedimentation and erosion control
measures.
The applicant proposes a mooring within the 40'x40' basin for a 30' long sailboat moored to an upland anchor. East
of the moored sailboat within the access channel the existing 5' long by 4' wide fixed ramp takeoff extending to a
ramp leading to a 6'wide by 14' long floating dock is to remain. East of the floating dock would be a 4' wide by 19'
long fixed pier leading to a 4' wide by 40' long fixed T-head. There would be two 12' long by 8' wide two piling,
elevator -style boat lifts proposed along the T-head. East of the T-head would be another 4' wide by 19'long fixed pier
leading to a 4' wide by 40' long fixed T-bcad with two 12' long by 8'wide two piling, elevator -style boat lifts. North
of the mouth of the access channel, the applicant proposes a 6' wide by 284' long pier leading to a 16' wide by 16'
long gazebo terminating with a 4' wide by 16' long floating dock to replace the existing pier and fixed platform for a
total of 7 slips at this property (See Sheet 3 of 3).
None of the proposed docking facility structures would extend into either adjacent riparian corridor setback area.
Proposed structures within the canal area all exceed the 1/ 4 width (see Sheet 3 of 3). The canal area, where structures
are proposed, measure approximately 24 ft., 20 ft,, and 29 ft. wide. The proposed structures extend approximately 10
ft., into the waterbody which is beyond the 1/4 width. The AIWW measures approximately 1235 ft. wide in this area.
The proposed pier within the AIWW would not extend more than 210 ft. into the waterbody.
Finally, the applicant proposes a 3751 long by F wide sheet pile bulkhead along the northern side of the access
channel landward of coastal wetlands using helical anchors (See Sheet 3 of 3). The project narrative provided in the
application states the applicant intends to stop the erosion occurring on the south side of the access road that runs
parallel with the canal and out to the docking facility.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The proposed maintenance dredging would disturb approximately 8,600 sq. ft. of previously excavated bottom area
from 1970 and approximately 10,700 sq. ft. outside of the 1970 authorized footprint within the AIWW. The project
would include the removal of approximately 2,134 cy of material from the existing basin and access channel system.
As proposed, it appears that the dredging would result in the excavation of approximately 860 sq. ft. of coastal
wetlands, consisting primarily of smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) that have volunteered along the canal and
the existing shoal. Minor increases in turbidity should be expected during the dredging event; however, no long-term
adverse impacts are anticipated. Spoil disposal would disturb approximately 12,500 sq. ft. (0.3 acres) of high ground
area owned by the applicant.
The proposed docking facilities would incorporate approximately 2,620 sq. ft, of Estuarine and Public Trust area
within the applicant's area of riparian corridor. Some of this was usurped by the previous docking facilities. The
docking facilities would be located in water depths of approximately -3'NLW once the proposed dredging has been
conducted. The nearest docking facility is approximately 230'to the north. Please Note: The proposed plan has not
been reviewed by the City of Wilmington for compliance with local ordinances. DCM attempted to contact the
city regarding this proposal and did not get a response.
The proposed bulkhead would be placed landward of Coastal Wetlands and not cause any Coastal Welland
disturbance. Approximately 7,500 sq. ft. of high ground disturbance is allowed for the installation of the bulkhead.

Willard Farm Canal Maintenance
Project Narrative
The project site is 7719-7727 Masonboro Sound Road, Wilmington, New Hanover County. It is
an undeveloped 5.17 acre tract, with approximately 319 feet of shoreline on the Intracoastal
Waterway, and is one of five adjacent parcels owned by Willard Family Farm, LLC„ The
applicant is proposing maintenance dredging of the existing canal most recently dredged under
NC Department of Conservation and Development permit number 125, issued on 7 April 1970.
The applicant also proposes to bulkhead the south side of the access road on the north side of the
canal (suffered extensive erosion due to Hurricane Florence), construct 2 Tee piers with 4
boatlifts along the canal, replace the existing 270` pier with a 284' pier with 16 x16 gazebo and
floating dock, replace the existing floating dock damaged by Hurricane Florence, and provide
mooring for a 30' Crown. Point sailing Dory in the turning basin.
Background:
My grandfather, Martin S. Willard purchased an approximately 200-acre farm (Crown Point) on
Masonboro Sound in 1912. Upon his death in 1946, the remaining approximately 125 acres of
the land passed to his two scans, Martin S. Willard Jr. (my uncle) and Emerson Willard
(my father). Later during the 1950's the two brothers divided the tract so that each could build a
residence. The canal location was on the: tract owned by Martin S. Willard Jr. (my uncle). In
2003, for estate planning and tax purposes the property became part of Willard Family Farm,
LLC. 'this entity consisted of land still owned by the decedents of the original 1912.owner,
Martin S. Willard Sr. As of today, the remaining partners are Emerson Willard, his wife, and
their children, myself, (W„ Martin Willard), and brother (Emerson Willard Jr), I grew up on the
property, inherited my Uncles house and 3.2 acres of the property in 2009, and currently reside
there, next door to my father, Emerson Willard.
Previous Activities -
Emerson Willard, has lived on the property his entire life, and remembers a carnal and pier house
onsite when he was a boy in the 1930's. About 1950 North Carolina State University (NC State
College at the time) staff were in the Wilmington vicinity demonstrating how to excavate
drainage ditches with dynamite as part of the mosquito control program of the early 1950's, and
Emerson Willard attended a demonstration. He and his brother decided to use what they had
learned to clean out the existing canal that had been on the property since his childhood. He
remembers using 2 sticks of dynamite per hole at 18" intervals along the canal. The pier house
was destroyed by Hurricane Hazel in 1954. The pier was rebuilt without the pier house. Catwalks
attached to the pier and along the canal have changed over the years and the number of family
boats docked at the pier and in the canal have ranged from 4-8 over the years. In 1970, my uncle
had the canal dredged and added a turning basin. This work was performed under NC
Department of Conservation and Development permit number 125, issued on 7 April 1970.
Authorized project depths for the canal and basin were -3.0 feet at MLW at a width of 20 feet
with 5-foot sloped edges for a total width of 30 :feet. (See attached NC:DOT scaled aerial photo
and certification). The 1970 excavation continued across the sand fiat to a deeper slough and
natural channel leading north to the AIWW allowing boats of all sizes access to the AIWW.
Attached DDT photo also shows historical connectivity to the natural channel. For many years
my uncle kept a 29' houseboat moored in the turning basin (see attached photos). In 1970 after
the canal maintenance, Emerson Willard (my father) started Crown Point Marine, By l 1
VED
DCM °IL IT, NC

had built 63 boats ranging from 18' to 38'. The canal and pier were an integral part of this boat
building operation. New boats were launched from the site, and customers returned boats for
maintenance perfonned on site. (See Wrightsville Beach Magazine article, June 2011).
Exiting Conditions:
The site consists of 5.17 Ac+/- shown as Tract 2 on a 2003 survey by Robert Goslee and
Associates, recorded in map book 45, page 90. It is located on the west side of the Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) across farm the junction of the AIW W and Masonboro Channel,
The canal is bounded on the north by an access road located on the spoil from the 1970 and
previous dredging activities. South of the canal is an area of Sp artin a calternt flora marsh. The
turning basin is located where the marsh meets the high ground and the canal continues through
the trees into the high ground and connects to a network of ditches. The south side of the turning
basin was lined with bricks and rip/rap and used as a ramp to launch small, boats. Since
Hurricane Florence substantial erosion along the access road north of the canal has occurred (see
photo). Where the canal excavation leaves the Spartina marsh a sand spit has migrated into the
canal. The spit restricts the width of the canal where it connects to open water. This has
accelerated with Hurricane Florence severely limiting ingress and egress and creating ponding in
the canal at low tide.
Since the 1970 dredging, there have been numerous catwalks and floats located along the canal
and access road for family members to moor their skiffs. Currently there is a 6' X 14" floating
dock, connected to land by a 3' X 16' ramp, a 3' X 30' PVC roller ramp, and a 18' X 28"
catwalk with a manual crank hoist. North of the canal the existing dock is 286 feet long with a 16
X 16 platform at the end. There are 2 mooring buoys north of the pier. There is an electric meter
and electrical panel onsite.
The proposed project includes;
Maintenance dredging of the existing canal and turning basin to the 1970 permitted depth of -
3.0 fret, 20 feet wide at MLW with a 40' X 40' basin. The applicant does not intend to
dredge the previously permitted area to the west of the turning basin. The maintenance
excavation would be conducted mechanically by a land based long reach excavator and a
barge mounted excavator. Spoil would be disposed onsite and contained by silt fencing.
• Bulkheading the south side of the access road between the canal and road.
• Installing 2 Tee piers with 4 boat lifts in the canal for family members..
• Replacing the existing 4 x 270' pier and 16 x 16 platform, with a 6 x 284' pier with 16
x 16 gazebo and 4 x 16' floating dock.
• replacing the existing floating dock in the canal..
• Mooring for a 30' sailboat in the basin.
• Removing the PVC roller ramp, catwalk, and manual hoist..
The project proponent hereby certifies that all information contained herein is true, accurate, and
complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
The project proponent hereby requests that the certifying authority review and take action on this
CWA 401 certification request within the applicable reasonable period of time.

have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination may not be used in the permit evaluation process.

Recommendations for State Permit — Martin W. Willard 8/24/2021.
Shoreline length per DCM — 319 LF x 8 SFlLF = 2552 SF (2000 SF is the maximum allowed per DCM)
Shoreline length per City of Wilmington _ 319 LF x 4 SF/LF = 1276 SF (800 is maximum allowed per City of Wilmington)
Existing floating dock (6' x 14') = 84 SF
Existing fixed ramp take off (5' x 4') = 20 SF
Proposed pier (4' x IT) = 68 SF
Proposed pier (4' x 30') = 120 SF
Proposed fixed T-Head (4' x 40') = 160 SF
Proposed fixed T-Head (4' x 40') = 160 SF
Proposed gazebo (16' x 16'') = 256 SF
Proposed floating dock (16" x 4') — 64 SF
Proposed fixed pier = (6' x 2.84') = 1704 SF (access credit, not counted)
Four pKoposed boat lifts 12' x 8' = not counted for platform allocations
Total = 932 SF
The proposal was submitted to the City of Wilmington for review without response. Currently, it is unclear
whether this project meets local city ordinances or not..
The new docking facility would provide a total of 7 formalized boat slips. It appears that the proposed pier that extends into
the AIWW is CONSISTENT with the use standards set forth in NCAC 07H .0208(b)(6). The proposed docking facilities
extending into the access channel are INCONSISTENT with the use standards set forth in NCAC 07H .0208(b)(6)(G), The
proposed structures would exceed the 'A width of the man-made access channel.
The proposed bulkhead appears to be CONSISTENT with 15 NCAC 711.0208 (b)(7) Use Standards for Bulkheads.
The proposed excavation of the area around the existing basin and canal appears to be CONSISTENT with 15 NCAC
07H.0208 (b)(1) based on previous permit authorization and maintenance events. The original footprint of the access channel
into the AI W W, however is unknown. It appears that the applicant has taken the shortest path to deep water based on existing
water depths. It is the opinion of this office that the area for the proposed excavation is located in an area that has been
historically impacted and in continuous use for docking and navigational purposes. This office has no objection to the
proposed work, provided it is consistent with state and federal permitting requirements are met.
