Dear Mr. Dowdey,
F
This letter is in reference to the application submitted for a Coastal Area Management Act Major
Permit to undertake development activities to construct a bulkhead, boat ramp and docking
facility, in Currituck County.
Although processing of the application is nearing completion, additional time is needed for this
office to complete the review and make a decision on your request. Therefore, it is necessary that
the standard review time be extended. An additional 75 days is provided by G.S. 113A-122(c)
which would make April 30, 2020 the new deadline for reaching a decision on your request.
However, we expect to take action prior to that time and will do so as soon as possible. In the
interim, should you have any question on the status of your application, do not hesitate to contact
me by phone [phone] ext. 215) or e-mail ([e-mail]).
Sincerely,
Gregory W. Bodnar

DATE: December 12, 2019
SUBJECT: Paul Dowdey Major Permit Recommendations
The applicant proposes to construct a bulkhead on a previously hardened shoreline in which
remnant pilings, piers, walls, and rip rap remain. The applicant also proposes to construct 3 piers,
1 with a platform attached to the end. Lastly the applicant proposes to construct a total of 4 boat
slips, 1 being a boat lift, 1 being a mooring buoy, and the other 2 slips designated by the
placement of 4 tie piles.
The site of the proposed development is located at 220 Marsh Causeway, Knotts Island Currituck
County, adjacent to North Landing River connecting to Currituck Sound
The development proposal involves the Public Trust Area (PTA), Estuarine Waters (EW), and
Estuarine Shoreline (ES) Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC's).
I have reviewed the Rules of the Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) as they pertain to this
project and my findings are as follows:
1 SA NCAC 07H. 0208 Use Standards
Paragraph (a) addresses General Use Standards, and sub -paragraph (1) precludes uses that are
not water dependent within the EW and PTA and lists uses that may be considered water
dependent.
Consistent: The proposed development is consistent with the intent of this rule.
Paragraph (a)(2)(A) states that the location, design, and need for development, as well as the
construction activities involved shall be consistent with the management objective of the
Estuarine and Ocean System AEC and shall be sited and designed to avoid significant adverse

Subparagraph (10) (D) states, "To protect water quality of shellfishing areas, mooring fields shall
not be located within areas where shellfish harvesting for human consumption is a significant
existing use or adjacent to such areas if shellfish harvest closure is anticipated to result from the
location of the mooring field. In compliance with Section 101(a)(2) of the Federal Water
Pollution Control Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251 (a)(2), and North Carolina Water Quality Standards
adopted pursuant to that section, shellfish harvesting is a significant existing use if it can be
established that shellfish have been regularly harvested for human consumption since November
28, 1975 or that shellfish are propagating and surviving in a biologically suitable habitat and are
available and suitable for harvesting for the purpose of human consumption. The Division of
Marine Fisheries shall be consulted regarding the significance of shellfish harvest as an existing

Division of Co stal Management
SUBJECT: Major Permit Request by Paul Dowdey to install 1,335 linear feet of vinyl bulkhead,
a 15 foot wide by 60 foot long boat ramp, a 5 foot wide by 84 foot long pier with a
16 foot by 16 foot "T head terminus platform and a 12 foot by 14 foot boatlift and
two (2) tie piles, a 5 foot wide by 32 foot long pier with two (2) tie piles, a 5 foot
wide by 16 foot long pier, and a mooring buoy with a 10 foot are of swing on North
Landing River; at 220 Marsh Causeway, in KnottsIsland, Currituck County:
DATE: December31, 2019
Consistency Determination: The request is consistent with/not in conflict with the Currituck
County 2006 Core Land Use Plan (LUP) certified by the CRC on
May 18, 2007 as amended through July 2, 2019.
Overview: The subject property is a 26.53 acre site with approximately 1,335 linear feet of
shoreline along the North Landing River, which connects to the Currituck Sound. The property
elevation averages 6 feet above Normal Water Level (NWL). The site is located primarily outside
of a Floodzone, with shoreline areas located within an AE Floodzone.
Existing site improvements consist of a former hunt club lodge, a barn and a tennis court. The
lodge, known as the Flyway Hunt Lodge, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The
lodge is located a minimum of 44 feet landward of NWL. Existing shoreline improvements are
located along the southernmost 825 linear feet of shoreline. These include approximately 750
feet of remnant wooden bulkhead lined with concrete riprap and small bricks, a derelict 75 foot by
130 foot open water basin bounded by a perimeter of remnant sections of concrete groin, "U'-
shaped pier/platforms and a 20 foot wide entrance, and a 5 foot wide by 32 foot long pier located
within the basin. The remaining 510 linear feet of shoreline north of the basin is currently
unimproved, though remnant pilings located 35 feet waterward of NWL suggest it was once
protected with wooden bulkhead. Water depths range from -1 foot to -3 feet and average -2 feet
below NWL near the shoreline. The shoreline has an erosion escarpment ranging from 1 feet to
8 feet.

Installation of 1,335 linear feet of vinyl bulkhead, a 15 foot wide by 60 foot long boat ramp, a 5
foot wide by 84 foot long pier with a 16 foot by 16 foot "T" head terminus platform and a 12 foot
by 14 foot boatlift and two (2) tie piles, a 5 foot wide by 32 foot long pier with two (2) tie piles, a 5
foot wide by 16 foot long pier, and a mooring buoy with a 10 foot are of swing is proposed.
The bulkhead will tie into the existing bulkhead on adjacent property to the north and extend a
maximum distance of 12 feet waterward of NWL at this location. The bulkhead will then taper
back to NWL for a distance of 40 feet and average a distance of 2 feet waterward of NWL for the
remaining 1,295 feet. The bulkhead will terminate with a 30 foot return wall at the southern
property line. All backfill material will be from a clean upland source. The boat ramp will be placed
in the open water basin and extend 30 feet waterward of NWL. The ramp will have a 1:10 slope
ratio. The 32 foot long pier will replace the existing pier in the basin. Existing remnants will be
removed as needed to accommodate new structures. The tie pilings will create two (2) boat slips.
The mooring buoy will be located 120 feet waterward of the bulkhead and will be located in 3 feet
of water
The waters of the North Landing River in this area are classified as SC and Joint Waters and are
closed to shellfish taking: No submerged aquatic vegetation was observed growing at the project
site. Based on available_ information, there appear to be no archaeological sites on or near the
property.
Anticipated impacts resulting from this project are expected to include: the filling. of 3,120 sq. ft.
of Public Trust Area/Estuarine Waters Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC); the shading of
1,163 sq. ft. of Public Trust Area/Estuarine Waters AEC, and; the disturbance of .62 acre of
Estuarine Shoreline AEC.
Basis for Determination:
The site is designated as "Limited Service Areas' on the Currituck County Future Land Use Map
(FLUM); with Areas of Environmental Concern (AECs) also designated as "Conservation Areas'
as indicated on Page 11-1.
As indicated on Page 11-2, the purpose of the Limited Service designation is to provide for
primarily residential development at low densities. The policy emphasis for Knotts Island is
indicated on Page 11-11. Developable areas are to remain as low to very low density residential,
at predominately 1 unit per 3 acres. As indicated on Page 11-1, the purpose of the Conservation
designation is to provide for the long-term management and protection of significant, limited,_ or
irreplaceable areas. Proper management is needed to conserve the natural, cultural, recreational,
scenic or biologically productive values of these areas. The designation is applied to. areas that
should not be developed at all (preserved), or if developed, done so in a very limited manner
characterized by careful planning and cautious attention to the conservation of environmental
features. As indicated on Page 11-2, the standards of the Conservation class shall be applied in
accordance with the site specific information made available during special
land land development process. 1

Dear Mr. Dowdey:

Subject: Stormwater Permit Exemption
StormwaterProject No. SW7191204
CAMA Bulkhead Project
Currituck County
On December 19, 2019, the Washington Regional Office of the Division of Energy, Mineral,
and Land Resources received a copy of your CAMA Major application for a project located at 220
Marsh Causeway at Knotts Island, NC. The proposal involves the construction of a bulkhead, pier
and boat lift. No new structures or impervious areas are proposed for the high ground portion of
the property at this time. Staff review of the plans and specifications has determined that the
project, as proposed, consists of activities that will not pose surface water quality threats from
stormwater runoff. The Director has determined that projects that are reviewed and approved by
the Division as not posing water quality threats from stormwater runoff should not be subject to
the stormwater management permitting requirements of 15A NCAC 211.1000. For this reason, we
are informing you by way of this letter that the current project will not require a State Stormwater
management permit.
The stormwater rules require the Division to permit the common plan of development,
therefore, any future development on the property, regardless of whether a SEC plan or CAMA
Major permit is also required, will require a Stormwater Management Permit application and
permit issuance from the Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources prior to any
construction. Any construction on the subject site, prior to receipt of the required permit, will
constitute a violation of 15A NCAC 2 H.1000 and may result in appropriate enforcement actions by
this Office.
Please keep in mind that this determination does not affectyour legal obligation to obtain
other permits and approvals, which may be required by Federal, State, or local government
agencies, rule or law. If you have any questions, or need additional information concerning this
matter, please contact this office at [phone].

8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to construct the following:
• 1335' of bulkhead with a maximum distance waterward of
12' with an average of 2' waterward
• 60' x 15' Boat ramp
• 84' x 5' Pier with a 16' x 16' platform attached to the end
• 32' x 5' Pier
• 16' x 5' Pier
• 14' x 12' Boat lift
• 4 Tie pilings (designating 2 separate slips)
• 1 Mooring buoy with a 10' arc of swing
Project Setting
The site of the proposed development is located at 220 Marsh Causeway, Knotts Island
Currituck County, adjacent to North Landing River connecting to the Currituck Sound.
This property is the location of the historic Flyway Hunt Lodge and it is listed on the
National Register of Historic Places.
The property is approximately 26.53 acres in size and has approximately 1335' of
shoreline with an erosion escarpment ranging from 1' to 8'. The southern shoreline is
currently lined primarily with concrete rip rap with small bricks added throughout. This
riprap is directly behind a remnant wooden bulkhead which extends from the southern
property line in a northwest direction for ±750'. At this point the remnant bulkhead
transitions to a non-functioning groin that extends ±500' to the west perpendicular to
shore. This groin once provided protection for a large open water basin facility that is now
derelict. 120' of the groin has been backfilled with large blocks of concrete that extend
approximately 3' above NWL. This concrete groin formed the southern side of the open
water basin. The north side of the basin was formed by a remnant "L" shaped pier which
has a maximum distance of approximately 120' waterward of NWL extending northwest
before turning southwest for 30'. From the southern end of the "L" shaped pier/platform
there is a 30' open area before another section of platform starts. This platform extends
approximately 30' before connecting to the concrete groin. The placement of the pier,
platforms, and groin formed a 130' x 75' open water basin. Inside this basin sits a 32' x 5'
pier that is still in use today. The majority of the remaining ±510' of shoreline between the
basin and the northern property line is unhardened and littered with roots and fallen trees
with small arnounts of concrete riprap scattered along the length. Based on remnant piles,
this section of shoreline was once protected by a wooden bulkhead. The remnant pilings
are now ±35 waterward of the current NWL.

The elevation of the property averages +6' above NWL. As of now the parcel contains the
former hunt club lodge, a barn, and a tennis court. According to the USDA's Natural
Resources Conservation Services' Web Soil Survey, the majority soil on the property is
made up of Bojac loamy sand, with a small amount of Tomotley fine sandy loam sand as
well as Altavista fine sand present. These soils are covered with grasses that are mowed
periodically. The adjacent riparian property to the north is an empty lot within the East
Point Estates subdivision. This lot contains bulkhead shoreline and a "T head" pier which
extends t100' perpendicular to shore. This pier is located outside the applicant's riparian
corridor. The adjacent riparian property to the southeast is part of the Mackay Island
National Wildlife Refuge which contains no hardened structures. Based on available
information, there appears to be no archaeological sites on this property or nearby.
The waters of North Landing River in this area are classified as SC and are closed to
shellfish taking. The proposed project will take place in joint waters. Water depths within
the project site range from -1' to -3' and average -2' below NWL The bottom substrate
within the project area is made up of muddy sand. No submerged aquatic vegetation was
observed growing at the proposed project site.
Development Proposal
In order to prevent further erosion, the applicant proposes to stabilize the shoreline by
constructing 1335' of vinyl bulkhead. In order to connect to the bulkhead north of the
property the proposed bulkhead must extend a maximum distance of 12' waterward of
NWL at this location. The proposed bulkhead alignment will then taper back to NWL over
a distance of 40' where it will continue roughly averaging 2ft waterward of NWL for the
remaining 1295'. On the southeastern side of the bulkhead, the applicant proposes to
build a 30' return wall along the property line. Excavation of trees and rootballs may be
required along the western shoreline. All backfill material will be from a clean upland
source.
The proposed boat ramp will be constructed from concrete and will be 15' wide and 60'
long. The boat ramp will be placed in the open water basin facing southwest and will
extend 30' waterward of NWL. The proposed boat ramp will have a slope with a ratio of
1' 10' The water depth at the end of the proposed ramp is -2.5' measured from NWL.
Three piers have been proposed with this project. The first pier is located in the footprint
of the remnant pier which once formed the north side of the basin. This pier will be 84' x
5' and have a "T head" design with 16' x 16' platform attached to the end totaling a
maximum distance of 100' from NWL. On the northern side of the platform the applicant
proposes a 12' x 14' boatlift. The water depth at the proposed boat lift is -2 5' measured

Field Investigation Report
Page 4
from NWL. Also, proposed is a boat slip off the southern side of the pier. The boat slip will
be designated by 2 tie piles. The water depth at the proposed slip location is -2.5'
measured from NWL. The second pier will be replacing the current pier which is still in
use inside the basin. This pier will be 32' x 5' and will also have a proposed slip off the
southern side designated by 2 tie piles. The water depth at the proposed slip location is -
2.5' measured from NWL. The third pier will be located outside the basin ±400' from the
southern property line. This pier will extend southeast perpendicular to the shoreline, and
will be 16' x 5'. All three piers meet the''/<width rule and do not require a 15' setback.
Lastly, the applicant is proposing a mooring buoy south of the basin located 120'
waterward of the proposed bulkhead. The mooring buoy will have a 10' arc of swing, and
will be in located in 3' of water_
Anticipated Impacts
• The construction of the bulkhead along the proposed alignment will result in the filling of
±2,670 ft2 of the PTA and EW AEC with clean fill from an upland source along 1335' of the
ES AEC.
The construction of the bulkhead will disturb ±26,700 ft2 of high ground within the ES AEC.
• The construction of the boat ramp will fill 450 ft' of shallow bottom of the EW and PTA AEC.
• The boat ramp will have a 450 ft' high ground disturbance along a 15' wide portion along
the ES AEC.
• Combined the 3 piers, the platform, the boatlift, and the mooring buoy proposed will shade
1,163 ft' of open water of the PTA and EW AEC.

Narrative
Bulkhead/Dock Project DMEC
220 Marsh Causeway, Knotts Island, NC
9/3/19
We propose to build approximately 1335' of shoreline protection. We will excavate as needed
and install vinyl bulkhead according to the attached drawings. Excavation of existing shoreline
will be done to align the design and to remove any trees and/or rootballs to allow construction.
The new bulkhead will be built upon or inland of the previous wall to ensure that no land is
gained during this project. All excavated soil will be used for backfill.
The wall will run from the existing neighboring bulkhead at the northernmost point to the survey
pin located at the southernmost point. The NWL varies from 0" to approximately 18" along the
entire 1335' of proposed wall. It is 0" where the land has eroded behind the previously built
bulkhead and varies up to a depth of approximately 18" along the remnants of the previous
bulkhead. Mean low water level is +/-6" below NWL. Mean high water level is +/-6" above NWL.
We have experienced erosion over the last year which cannot be seen well on available aerial
photographs. We have areas all along the property line which have experienced soil loss (up to
2'), including the loss of three large trees (approx. 3' diameter trunk) at the waterline near the
dock area. Below is an area marked "A" on Attachment #1 (2016 aerial photograph) showing
approximately 50 linear feet of soil erosion. Over the last year there has been approximately
three foot of loss of land in this area due to the erosion.
