❑Prtvate/Community
Give a brief description of purpose, use, and daily operations of the project when complete.
The project will first replace the existing, structurally failing bulkhead along the shoreline and will in a future phase include
rebuilding the adjacent structurally deficient asphalt street. The bulkhead is in a rapidly declining state of disrepair and must
be entriely replaced. The future phase of rebuilding the existing narrow, one laned street will resolve a serious life safety
issue regarding emergency vehicle access to the residence along Yaupon Trail. The narrow width of the street is 9'-11'
which makes it extremly difficult for fire trucks and ambulances to quickly access the residence during an emergency call
which poses a potential threat to human life. The proposed future road is planned to be 14'-16' wide and will allow for safe
passage of emergency vehicles.
Describe the proposed construction methodology, types of construction equipment to be used during construction, the number of each type
of equipment and where it is to be stored.
Bulkhead replacemet: The existing wood bulkhead will remain in place. Anew vinyl sheetpile bulkhead with tie backs will be
constructed waterward of the existing bulkhead and fill will be added behind the new bulkhead. The proposed bulkhead will
be constructed waterward of the existing bulkhead and vary in distances waterward of the NWL (See DCM-MP-2 &site plan
for more details). The new vinyl bulkhead will have 8" diameter pilings spaced 6' on center, embedded 12' into the canal
bed. Verticle piling extensions may be used where the street is in close proximity to the road to act as a buffer between
vehicles and the canal. There will be a 6' minimum tieback distance with B"xB"xB' long verticals and 61lx6"x4' horizontals.

There was concern that the bulkheading to widen Yaupon Trail was not permittable under 7H .0209(d) and
7H .0209(d)(10) for Coastal Shorelines. There was concern that the widening of the Cul-de-sac is new
development and was not a water dependent need to extend the existing bulkhead waterward, and the rule
does not specifically identify over-riding public benefit as an exclusion. After consultation with Doug Huggett
it was determined that
1. 7H .0209(d) does allow for, where applicable, to utilize the general and specific use standards of 7H
.0208. Within 7H .0208 (a)(3) General Use Standards does provide the over-riding public use clause.
2. Avoidance and minimization was conducted over numerous scoping meetings to provide a project
with the most minimal impact as practical.
3. The requirement of obtaining a Stormwater Permit provides mitigation to erosion, sedimentation,
runoff etc.

TO: Gregg Bodnar, Assistant Major Permits Coordinator
THROUGH: Frank Jennings, District Manager
FROM: Ron Renaldi, Field Representative 9PrV4-
DATE: October 30, 2017
SUBJECT: Town of Southern Shores (Yaupon Trail Improvements) Major Permit
Recommendations
The Town of Southern Shores proposes to replace ±580' of structurally failing bulkhead along a
canal shoreline and then rebuild and widen Yaupon Trail.
The site of the proposed development is within the Yaupon Trail right-of-way in the Town of
Southern Shores, Dare County, adjacent to a man-made canal that leads to Jean Guite Creek.
The development proposal involves the Public Trust Area (PTA) and Public Trust Shoreline
(pTS) Areas of Environmental Concern (AFC's).
I have reviewed the Rules of the Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) as they pertainRECEIVED
o this
project and my findings are as follows:
07H.0207 Public Trust Areas
NOV 032017
(c) Management Objective. To protect public rights for navigation and recreatig 4 D CITY
conserve and manage the public trust areas so as to safeguard and perpetuate their bio ogicai,
economic and aesthetic value.
(d) Use Standards. Acceptable uses shall be those consistent with the management objectives in
Paragraph (c) of this Rule. In the absence of overriding public benefit, any use which
jeopardizes the capability of the waters to be used by the public for navigation or other public
trust rights which the public may be found to have in these areas shall not be allowed. The
development of navigational channels or drainage ditches, the use of bulkheads to prevent
erosion, and the building of piers, wharfs, or marinas are examples of uses that may be
acceptable within public trust areas, provided that such uses shall not be detrimental to the public
trust rights and the biological and physical functions of the estuary. Projects which would
directly or indirectly block or impair existing navigation channels, increase shoreline erosion,

Paragraph (a)(2)(G) states that development shall not jeopardize the use of the waters for
navigation or for other public trust rights in public trust areas including estuarine waters.
Consistent: The proposed development is consistent with the intent of this rule.
Paragraph (b) addresses Specific Use Standards. Of these, subparagraph (7) Bulkheads pertains
to this project, and those subparagraphs not listed are not applicable to this project.
Paragraph (7) Bulkheads
Subparagraph (7)(A) states, 'Bulkhead alignment, for the purpose of shoreline stabilization, shall
approximate the location of normal high water or normal water level."
Inconsistent: The proposed bulkhead alignments (5 areas) are waterward of the normal
water level.
Subparagraph (7)(B) states, "Bulkheads shall be constructed landward of coastal wetlands in
order to avoid significant adverse impacts to the resources."
Consistent: The proposed development is consistent with the intent of this rule.
Subparagraph (7)(C) states, Bulkhead backfill material shall be obtained from an upland source
approved by the Division of Coastal Management pursuant to this Section, or if the bulkhead is a
part of a permitted project involving excavation from a non -upland source, the materiatF�ils¢ C E 1 V E D
obtained may be contained behind the bulkhead." CC
Consistent: The applicants have indicated that clean fill will be used. NOV 0 3 2017
Subparagraph (7)(D) states, `Bulkheads shall be permitted below normal high wateMH D CITY
water level only when the following standards are met:
(i) the property to be bulkheaded has an identifiable erosion problem, whether it results from
natural causes or adjacent bulkheads, or it has unusual geographic or geologic features, e.g. steep
grade bank, which will cause the applicant unreasonable hardship under the other provisions of
this Rule;
Consistent: The wooden bulkhead is showing signs of failure due to age (rot) which is
allowing erosion to occur on the landward side. The proposed alignment is also necessary
to provide a 10' buffer from the proposed rebuilding and widening of Yaupon Trl.
(ii) the bulkhead alignment extends no further below normal high water or normal water level
than necessary to allow recovery of the area eroded in the year prior to the date of application, to
align with adjacent bulkheads, or to mitigate the unreasonable hardship resulting from the
unusual geographic or geologic features;

Gregg Bodnar, Assistant Major Permits Coordinator
Town of Southern Shores (Yaupon Trail Improvements) Major Permit Recommendations

Page 4
Consistent: The proposed alignment aligns with the adjacent bulkheading and extends
beyond normal water level the minimum distance to widen Yaupon TO to a safe width for
emergency vehicles.
(iii) the bulkhead alignment will not adversely impact public trust rights or the property of
adjacent riparian owners;
Consistent: The proposed development is consistent with the intent of this rule.
(iv) the need for a bulkhead below normal high water or normal water level is documented
by the Division of Coastal Management;
Consistent: The proposed development is documented in a Field Investigation Report.
(v) the property to be bulkheaded is in a nonoceanfront area.
Consistent: The proposed development is consistent with the intent of this rule.
15A NCAC 07H.0209 Coastal Shorelines
(c) Management Objective. The management objective is to ensure that shoreline development
is compatible with the dynamic nature of coastal shorelines as well as the values and the
management objectives of the estuarine and ocean system. Other objectives are to conserve and
manage the important natural features of the estuarine and ocean system so as to safeguard and
perpetuate their biological, social, aesthetic, and economic values; to coordinate and establish a
management system capable of conserving and utilizing these shorelines so as to maximize their
benefits to the estuarine and ocean system and the people of North Carolina.
Consistent: The proposed development is consistent with the intent of this rule.
(d) Use Standards. Acceptable uses shall be those consistent with the management objectives in
Paragraph (c) of this Rule. These uses shall be limited to those types of development activities
that will not be detrimental to the public trust rights and the biological and physical functions of
the estuarine and ocean system. Every effort shall be made by the permit applicant to avoid,
mitigate or reduce adverse impacts of development to estuarine and coastal systems through the
planning and design of the development project. In every instance, the particular location, use,
and design characteristics shall comply with the general use and specific use standards for
coastal shorelines, and where applicable, the general use and specific use standards for coastal
wetlands, estuarine waters, and public trust areas described in Rule .0208 of this Section.

(2) All development projects, proposals, and designs shall limit the construction of impervious
surfaces and areas not allowing natural drainage to only so much as is necessary to adequately
service the major purpose or use for which the lot is to be developed. Impervious surfaces shall
not exceed 30 percent of the AEC area of the lot, unless the applicant can effectively
demonstrate, through innovative design, that the protection provided by the design would be
equal to or exceed the protection by the 30 percent limitation. Redevelopment of areas
exceeding the 30 percent impervious surface limitation may be permitted if impervious areas are
not increased and the applicant designs the project to comply with the intent of the rule to the
maximum extent feasible.
Consistent: The proposed development is consistent with the intent of this rule. The
proposed bulkhead alignment was designed to give a 10' shoulder/buffer/water sheet flow
area for the rebuilding and widening of Yaupon Trail.
(3) All development projects, proposals, and designs shall comply with the following mandatory
standards of the North Carolina Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973:
(A) All development projects, proposals, and designs shall provide for a buffer zone along the
margin of the estuarine water which is sufficient to confine visible siltation within 25 percent of
the buffer zone nearest the land disturbing development.
Consistent: The proposed development is consistent with the intent of this rule.
(B) No development project proposal or design shall permit an angle for graded slopes or fill
which is greater than an angle which can be retained by vegetative cover or other erosion -control
devices or structures. RECEIVED
Consistent: The proposed development is consistent with the intent of this rule. NOV 0 3 2017
(C) All development projects, proposals, and designs which involve uncovering more =eNIH D CITY
acre of land shall plant a ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion within 30 workin
completion of the grading; provided that this shall not apply to clearing land for the purpose of
forming a reservoir later to be inundated.
Consistent: The proposed development is consistent with the intent of this rule.
(4) Development shall not have a significant adverse impact on estuarine and ocean resources.
Significant adverse impacts include development that would directly or indirectly impair water
quality standards, increase shoreline erosion, alter coastal wetlands or Submerged Aquatic
Vegetation (SAV), deposit spoils waterward of normal water level or normal high water, or
cause degradation of shellfish beds.
Consistent: The proposed development is consistent with the intent of this rule.
(5) Development shall not interfere with existing public rights of access to, or use of, navigable
waters or public resources.

Gregg Bodnar, Assistant Major Permits Coordinator
Town of Southern Shores (Yaupon Trail Improvements) Major Permit Recommendations

Consistent: The proposed development is consistent with the intent of this rule.
(7) Development shall not cause irreversible damage to valuable, historic architectural or
archaeological resources as documented by the local historic commission or the North Carolina
Department of Cultural Resources.
Consistent: The proposed development is consistent with the intent of this rule.
(8) Established common-law and statutory public rights of access to the public trust lands and
waters in estuarine areas shall not be eliminated or restricted. Development shall not encroach
upon public accessways nor shall it limit the intended use of the accessways.
Consistent: The proposed development is consistent with the intent of this rule.
(10) Within the Coastal Shorelines category (estuarine and public trust shoreline AECs), new
development shall be located a distance of 30 feet landward of the normal water level or normal
high water level, with the exception of the following:
(A) Water -dependent uses as described in Rule 07H .0208(a)(1) of this Section;
Consistent: The proposed bulkhead is consistent with the intent of this rule. The
rebuilding and widening of Yaupon Trail falls within an existing right-of-way and should
be considered exempt from the definition of development per NC GS 113A-103(5)(b)(1).
Based on field visits to the site, discussions regarding the minimum recommended bulkhead
alignment necessary for the roadway to be properly engineered for a width to accommodate
emergency vehicles as well as allowing vehicles to safely pass, a review of the applicable
subsections of the North Carolina Administrative Code, and review of the permit application and
plans, I recommend a permit be issued to The Town of Southern Shores.

SUBJECT: Major Permit Request by the Town of Southern Shores to install 675 linear feet of
vinyl bulkhead and rebuild and widen Yaupon Trail, along a man-made canal that
connects to Jean Guite Creek, in the Town of Southern Shores.
DATE: October 16, 2017
Consistency Determination: The request is consistent with/not in conflict with the Town of
Southern Shores CAMA Land Use Plan Update certified by the
CRC on August 30, 2012.
Overview: The project area is located within the approximately 30 foot wide by 1,600 foot long
Yaupon Trail right-of-way that includes 1,525 linear feet of shoreline along a man-made canal to
the east that connects to Jean Guite Creek. Water depths in the canal range from 5 feet below
Normal Water Level (NWL) at the center to 2.5 feet below NWL at the shoreline, with depths of .5
foot at its terminus. The right-of-way has elevations that range from 1.7 feet to 10.3 feet above
NWL. The highground is vegetated with lawn grass and pine, gum, wax myrtle, and crepe myrtle
trees. The project area is primarily located in the AE (EL7) F000dzone, with minimal areas to the
north outside of a floodzone.
Existing site improvements consist of a town roadway 9 feet to 11 feet in width that intersects with
Dogwood Trail to the north and terminates in an "L" shaped turnaround to the south. The roadway
was constructed 35 years ago on a base layer of clay which is now causing undulations in the
pavement. Tree roots have also undermined the road surface. Existing shoreline improvements
consist of approximately 1,230 linear feet of wooden bulkhead, a boatlift, and a covered dock.
The bulkhead is showing signs of rot and failure. CAMA General Permit #67629A was issued in
December of 2016 authorizing replacement of 296 linear feet of bulkhead approximately 2 feet
waterward of the existing bulkhead.
Installation of 675 linear feet of vinyl bulkhead and rebuilding and widening of Yaupon Trail are
proposed. New and replacement bulkhead will be installed in five (5) segments along the man-
made canal. Bulkhead will be located an average between 1.9 feet and 18.6 feet waterward of
NWL and a maximum between 2.8 feet and 31 feet waterward of NWL. The trail roadbed will be
removed and replaced with a 16 foot wide aggregate base and 14 foot wide asphalt roadway
surface. The southern terminus will be reconfigured as a cul-de-sac with a 60 foot diameter base

A North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (DCM) Fisheries Resource Specialist has reviewed
the subject permit application for proposed actions that impact fish and fish habitats. The town proposes
to improve Yaupon Trail by widening the road and replacing 580' of bulkhead to increase safety for
vehicle traffic along the roadway. Current the road is very near the failing bulkhead separating the
uplands from Jean Guite Creek canal. The town proposed to move the bulkhead waterward in several
locations between 2' and 21' waterward of current NWL to provide for a wider road bed and grassed
shoulder for safety as well as storm water diffusion. This will result in the fill of approximately 4150
square feet of Jean Guite Creek canal which is designated by the Wildlife Resources Commission as an
Inland Primary Nursery Area.
Fill of PNA habitat should always be avoided and minimized to the maximum extent and through the
scoping meeting process the applicant has demonstrated minimization of impacts and is left with the
current plan. However due to the amount of open water disturbance likely to occur during the
construction of the project this office recommends a moratorium on in -water work from April. l—
September 30. Scheduling of the project around this moratorium should minimize negative impacts to
larval and juvenile fish that utilize the PNA habitat.
Contact Shane Staples at [phone] or [e-mail] with further questions or
concerns.

DATE: November 8, 2017 DCM- MHD CITY
SUBJECT: CAMA Dredge/Fill Permit Application for Town of Southern Shores, Dare
County, North Carolina.
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) reviewed the permit
application with regard to impacts on fish and wildlife resources. The project site is located along the
Yaupon Trail within the Town of Southern Shores, adjacent to a tributary canal of Jean Guite Creek. Our
comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Coastal Area Management Act (G. S. 113A-
100 through 113A-128), as amended, Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act, as amended, and the
Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.).
The applicant proposes a phased project to remediate a failing bulkhead and widen Yaupon Trail near the
road's end. Phase 1 involves the replacement of the failing bulkhead in an alignment that would facilitate
the Phase 2 widening of Yaupon Trail. The existing road ranges between 9' and 10' in width and was
constructed atop a clay base layer that over time has moved and compromised the integrity of the road
The new 14' road would be built atop a 16' wide aggregate base with a 60' diameter cul-de-sac, all of
which would have a minimum 10' offset from the new bulkhead. The construction of the bulkhead would
fill 4,151 ftz of public trust waters and disturb 39,475 flF of upland area. The applicant conducted a
scoping meeting with several state and federal agencies during which recommendations to minimize
impacts were provided. Subsequent conversations and alternatives were presented to demonstrate
avoidance, minimization, purpose and need Jean Guite Creek and its tributary canals are classified SC by
the Environmental Management Commission and are designated a Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the
NCWRC.
NCWRC staff are familiar with the project proposal and have been throughout the project's development.
We have reviewed the permit application and do not object to the road widening and necessary fill for the
bulkhead alignment. The canal system is designated a PNA and serves as an important habitat area for
numerous aquatic species in the egg, larvae, and juvenile life stages. It is understood that the proposed
Mailing Address: Habitat Conservation • 1721 Mail Service Center - Raleigh, NC 27699-1721
. Telephone: [phone] • Fax: [phone]

widening of Yaupon Trail is a public safety measure. The applicant has presented alternatives that
minimized impacts from the initial proposal and has chosen the alternative with less impacts; therefore,
the NCWRC will not object to the project proposal.
Jean Guite Creek and the associated tributary canals are designated PNAs. Generally only activities that
minimally disturb habitat are allowed. To minimize the impacts the proposed project will incur, a
February 15 — September 30 in -water work moratorium should be included as a permit condition. This
condition is not requested outside of the bulkhead installation and fill, but it is highly advised that
stringent sedimentation and erosion control measures are implemented and maintained throughout the
construction process. The area landward the bulkhead should be seeded as soon as possible and silt
fencing maintained throughout site disturbance.
We appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on this permit application. If you need further
assistance or additional information, please contact me at [phone] or at

8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The Town of Southern Shores proposes to replace ±580' of
structurally failing bulkhead along a canal shoreline and then rebuild and widen
Yaupon Trail.
Project Setting
The site of the proposed development is within the Yaupon Trail right-of-way in the Town of
Southern Shores, Dare County, adjacent to a man-made canal that leads to Jean Guile Creek.
To access the site, turn north onto South Dogwood Trail at its intersection with North Croatan
Highway (US 158) located ±0.6 miles east of the Wright Memorial Bridge. Head north on South
Dogwood Trail for±2.1 miles at which point the intersection with Yaupon trail will be located on
the west side of South Dogwood Trail.
Yaupon Trail is a municipal dead-end road that is ±1,600' (0.3 miles) in length, has varying
widths between 9' and 11' and terminates in a "L" shaped turnaround area. The right -of way
area is±53,263 ft2 (1.22 acres) in size. Per the applicant, the existing roadwaywas constructed
35 years ago on a base layer of clay which is now causing undulations to occur on the
roadway. In 2000 some repairs were made to the road; however, tree roots have undermined
the existing road surface and it is in poor condition. The right-of-way area has elevations that
range from ±1.7' to 10.3' above Normal Water Level (NWL) and is vegetated with yard grasses,
loblolly pines, gum trees, wax myrtle and crepe myrtle.
The shoreline along the right-of-way is ±1,525' in length. Approximately 1,230' of the shoreline
has been hardened though bulkheading. CAMA General Permit #67629A was issued to the
applicant authorizing the replacement of 496' of bulkhead 2' waterward of the existing wooden
bulkhead. The remaining length of the existing wooden bulkhead is showing signs of rot and
failure. Additional man-made structures along the shoreline include an existing boatlift and
covered dock. The remaining unhardened shoreline, located at the landward end of the canal
near the Yaupon Trail and South Dogwood Trail intersection, is undeveloped and
unmaintained. This shoreline has an escarpment of V to 2' and wetlands do not exist along it.
The adjacent riparian property on the north side is located at the end of the canal and contains
a single-family dwelling with a shoreline that is both unhardened and hardened though wooden
bulkheading. The adjacent riparian property to the south contains a single-family dwelling, a
bulkheaded shoreline and a pier/platform.
Existing water depths within the canal range from 5' below NWL at the center to 2.5' below
NWL at the bulkhead with shallower depths near the end of the canal. The bottom substrate
within the project area is made up of fine sands, silts and detritus with no Submerged Aquatic
Vegetation (SAV) present. The waters of Jean Guite Creek and associated canal systems are
classified as SC by the Environmental Management Commission, are not open to shellfish
taking and have been designated as an Inland Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the NC Wildlife
Resources Commission. RECEIVED
Development Proposal

The applicant is proposing a two-phase project. Phase one is to immediately l�cpe t�c� ITY
bulkhead within an alignment that will facilitate Phase two. Phase two will inv v e re a ing
and widening of Yaupon Trail as well as a 60' diameter cul-de-sac turn around area.

Town of Southern Shores (Yaupon Trail Improvements)
Field Investigation Report
Page 3
. Phase One
Five areas of new and replacement vinyl bulkhead are proposed along the shoreline. Factors
considered for the proposed alignments include the proposed widening of Yaupon Trail,
keeping tie -back installation outside of the proposed road footprint, providing a 10' shoulder
buffer area and a cul-de-sac large enough for emergency vehicles to turn around in.
Area #1
• Area #1 is located near the landward end of the canal along an unhardened section of
shoreline. The proposed bulkhead alignment will have ±30' of bulkhead constructed
waterward of NWL with an additional ±10' extending landward of NWL. The proposed
alignment will have an average distance of ±1.9' waterward of NWL with a maximum
distance of ±2.8'. Water depths within this area are shallow and average ±0.5' below
NWL. This alignment will result in ±58 ftz of shallow bottom fill.
Area #2
• Area #2 is located at the northern end of the existing bulkhead. The proposed bulkhead
alignment will have ±64' of bulkhead constructed waterward of NWL with an additional
±4' extending landward of NWL on the north side. The south end of this alignment will
tie into the vinyl bulkhead authorized through GP#67629. The proposed alignment will
have an average distance of ±5' waterward of NWL with a maximum distance of ±7'.
Water depths within this area average ±2.5' below NWL. This alignment will result in
±322 ftz of shallow bottom fill.
Area #3
• Following the shoreline, area #3 is located ±188' south of area #2. The proposed
bulkhead alignment will have ±230' of bulkhead constructed waterward of NWL. The
north end of this alignment will tie into the vinyl bulkhead authorized through GP#67629
and the south end will tie into an existing bulkhead section not being replaced. The
proposed alignment will have an average distance of ±6.7' waterward of NWL with a
maximum distance of ±10'. Water depths within this area average ±2.5' below NWL.
This alignment will result in ±1,540 ft2 of shallow bottom fill.
- Area #4
• Following the shoreline, area #4 is located ±228' south of area #3. The proposed
bulkhead alignment will have ±239' 147' of bulkhead constructed waterward of NWL.
The north end of this alignment will tie into the vinyl bulkhead authorized through
GP#67629 and the south end will tie into an existing bulkhead section not being
replaced. The proposed alignment will have an average distance of ±4.4'waterward of
NWL with a maximum distance of ±9'. Water depths within this area average ±2.5'
below NWL. This alignment will result in ±646 ftz of shallow bottom fill.
o M - Area #5
n • Area #5 is located at the end of Yaupon Trail at the "L" shaped turnaround area. The
_ bZ M proposed alignment is semicircular in shape and totals ±107' in length. The north end
p o C of this alignment will tie into the vinyl bulkhead authorized through GP#67629 and the
Ci " M south end will tie into the existing bulkhead at the property line. The proposed
v alignment will have an average distance of ±1 8.6'waterward of NWL with a maximum
distance of ±31'. Water depths within this area range from 2' below NWL adjacent to

Town of Southern Shores (Yaupon Trail Improvements)
Field Investigation Report
Page 4
the bulkhead to 3.5' below NWL within the alignment area. The average water depth is
±3' below NWL. This alignment will result in ±1,585 ftz of shallow bottom fill.
• Phase Two
The existing roadbed will be removed and a 16' wide aggregate base will be installed with a
14' wide asphalt road surface. The proposed asphalt roadway will be offset >_10' from the
bulkhead alignment along its entire length to provide a road shoulder for both vehicle
recovery and to act as a stormwater basin infiltration area.
At the end of Yaupon Trail (Area #5), a cul-de-sac will be installed with a 60' diameter
aggregate base with a 58' diameter asphalt surface.
Existing impervious area within the Public Trust Shoreline AEC is ±13,951 ftz (33%) and the
proposed roadway will increase this area to ±20,870 ftz (49%). Existing impervious area for
the entire right-of-way is ±19,903 ftz (37%) and the proposed roadway will increase it to
±27,097 ftz (51 %). The area of disturbance associated with the road widening is ±39,475 ft.
Anticipated Impacts
• The construction of the bulkhead along the proposed alignments will result in the cumulative
filling of ±4,151 ftz (0.095 acres) of open waters within the Public Trust Area AEC with clean
fill from an upland source.
• The construction of the bulkhead along the proposed alignments will result in the cumulative
placement of ±410 cubic yards of fill material below NWL.
• The project will disturb ±39,475 ftz (0.9 acres) of highground area
• Proposed impervious surface area within the Public Trust Shoreline AEC is ±20,870 ftz
(49%). Proposed impervious surface area within the entire right-of-way is ±27,097 ftz (51 %).
Cumulative Impacts
• CAMA General Permit #67629A was issued on 12/1/2016 for 496' of replacement bulkhead
2' waterward of the existing bulkhead. Impacts from this permit include ±992 ftz of fill within
the Public Trust Area AEC and ±4,960 ftz of Public Trust Shoreline AEC disturbance.

can safely move off the road in case of an emergency. Another important design feature
of the road shoulder would be the creation of shallow stormwater infiltration basin areas
that will allow for collection, treatment, and disposal of stormwater runoff prior to entering
adjacent surface waters. The proposed bulkhead location will also allow the tie -backs or
"deadman" to be installed, outside the road surface, so they can be maintained if needed
to keep potential construction costs down. For the above mentioned reasons some
locations of the proposed bulkhead would need to be over 2' waterward of the existing
bulkhead and would require some filling within the existing manmade canal. Below are
the results of the two design alternatives:
Design #1
Under this design alternative a 12' offset from the proposed edge of pavement was used
to determine the proposed bulkhead alignment. Under this scenario, a 16' wide road
was examined and a 70' diameter cul-de-sac was used to determine overall impacts to
the canal.
This design configuration resulted in the following impacts:

Area #3
1,347 square feet
Area #4
621 square feet
Area #5
2,789 square feet
Total

The proposed design for this alternative would fill 5,252 square feet (0.12 acres). This
would exceed the 1/10 acre limit under the US Army Corp of Engineers (USACOE)
Nationwide #18 guidelines and would require the processing of an Individual Permit with
the USACOE.
Design #2
Under this design alternative a 10' offset from the proposed edge of pavement was used
to determine the proposed bulkhead alignment. Under this scenario a 16' wide road was
examined and a 60' diameter cul-de-sac was used to determine overall impacts to the
canal.
This design configuration resulted in the following impacts:

BRAXTON C. DAVIS
Director
The NC Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your
application for State approval for development of your property located
Yaupon Trail in Dare County. It was received complete on September 29,
2017, and appears to be adequate for processing at this time. The projected
deadline for making a decision is December 13, 2017. An additional 75-day
review period is provided by law when such time is necessary to complete the
review. If you have not been notified of a final action by the initial deadline
stated above, you should consider the review period extended. Under those
circumstances, this letter will serve as your notice of an extended review.
However, an additional letter will be provided on or about the 75th day.
If this agency does not render a permit decision within 70 days from
September 29, 2017, you may request a meeting with the Director of the
Division of Coastal Management and permit staff to discuss the status of your
project. Such a meeting will be held within five working days from the receipt
of your written request and shall include the property owner, developer, and
project designer/consultant.
NCGS 113A-119(b) requires that Notice of an application be posted at the
location of the proposed development. Enclosed you will find a "Notice of
Permit Filing" postcard which must be posted at the property of your proposed
development. You should post this notice at a conspicuous point along your
property where it can be observed from a public road. Some examples would
be: Nailing the notice card to a telephone pole or tree along the road right-of-
way fronting your property, or at a point along the road right-of-way where a
private road would lead one into your property. Failure to poRKPJ4FED
could result in an incomplete application.

PROJECT SUMMARY: The Town of Southern Shores proposes to replace ±580' of
structurally failing bulkhead along a canal shoreline and then rebuild and widen
Yaupon Trail.
Proiect Settin
The site of the proposed development is within the Yaupon Trail right-of-way in the Town of
Southern Shores, Dare County, adjacent to a man-made canal that leads to Jean Guite Creek.
To access the site, turn north onto South Dogwood Trail at its intersection with North Croatan
Highway (US 158) located ±0.6 miles east of the Wright Memorial Bridge. Head north on South
Dogwood Trail for±2.1 miles at which point the intersection with Yaupon trail will be located on
the west side of South Dogwood Trail.
Yaupon Trail is a municipal dead-end road that is ±1,600' (0.3 miles) in length, has varying
widths between 9' and 11' and terminates in a "L" shaped turnaround area. The right -of way
area is ±53,263 ftz (1.22 acres) in size. Per the appli�ant, the existing roadway was constructed
35 years ago on a base layer of clay w w causing undulations to occur on the
roadway. In 2000 some repairs were mad tot r ad; however, tree roots have undermined
the existing road surface and it is 0r pao ion. The right-of-way area has elevations that
range from ±1.7' to 10.3' above N mal t I (NWL) and is vegetated with yard grasses,
loblolly pines, gum trees, wax myritT41nd a rtle.
The shoreline along the right-of-wa0.±15'in length. Approximately 1,230'of the shoreline
has been hardened though bu41ing. CAMA General Permit #67629A was issued to the
applicant authorizing the replacement of 496' of bulkhead 2' waterward of the existing wooden
bulkhead. The remaining length of the existing wooden bulkhead is showing signs of rot and
failure. Additional man-made structures along the shoreline include an existing boatlift and
covered dock. The remaining unhardened shoreline, located at the landward end of the canal
near the Yaupon Trail and South Dogwood Trail intersection, is undeveloped and
unmaintained. This shoreline has an escarpment of 1' to 2' and wetlands do not exist along it.
The adjacent riparian property on the north side is located at the end of the canal and contains
a single-family dwelling with a shoreline that is both unhardened and hardened though wooden
bulkheading. The adjacent riparian property to the south contains a single-family dwelling, a
bulkheaded shoreline and a pier/platform.
Existing water depths within the canal range from 5' below NWL at the center to 2.5' below
NWL at the bulkhead with shallower depths near the end of the canal. The bottom substrate
within the project area is made up of fine sands, silts and detritus with no Submerged Aquatic
Vegetation (SAV) present. The waters of Jean Guite Creek and associated canal systems are
classified as SC by the Environmental Management Commission, are not open to shellfish
taking and have been designated as an Inland Primary NurseryArea ( )i �;th0:;I�IIC'.Wildlife
Resources Commission.

Development Proposal
AQ ; MUD ITV'
The applicant is proposing a two-phase project. Phase one is to imm rep ace the failing
bulkhead within an alignment that will facilitate Phase two. Phase two will involve the rebuilding
and widening of Yaupon Trail as well as a 60' diameter cul-de-sac turn around area.

Phase One 0CM- MHD CITY
Five areas of new and replacement vinyl bulkhead are proposed along the shoreline. Factors
considered for the proposed alignments include the proposed widening of Yaupon Trail,
keeping tie -back installation outside of
buffer area and a cul-de-sac t
sac large enough for pemergencfootprint,
y ehiclesto t providing around inoulder.
Area #1
• Area #1 is located near the landward end of the canal along an unhardened section o
shoreline. The proposed bulkhead alignment will have ±30' of bulkhead constructed
waterward of NWL with an additional ±10' extending landward of NWL. The proposed
alignment will have an average distance of ±1.9' waterward of NWL with a maximum
distance of ±2.8'. Water depths within this area are shallow and average ±0.5' below
NWL. This alignment will result in ±58 ftZ of shallow bottom fill.
Area #2
■ Area #2 is located at the nortern end of the existing bulkhead. The proposed bulkhead
alignment will have ±64' of b kh,pad coVCi nstructed
s'de Thensouth end of this ard of NWL han alignmeln'onal
t will
±4 extending landward of N
tie into the vinyl bulkhead autho ed r h GP#67629. The proposed alignment will
have an average distance of ±5' r f NWL with a maximum distance of ±7'.
Water depths within this area average .5' elow NWL. This alignment will result in
±322 ftZ of shallow bottom fill.
Area #3
■ Following the shoreline, area #3 is located ±188' south of area #2. The propose
bulkhead alignment will have ±230' of bulkhead constructed waterward of NWL. The
north end of this alignment will tie into the vinyl bulkhead authorized through GP#67629
and the south end will tie into an existing bulkhead section not being replaced. The
proposed alignment will have an average distance of ±6.7' waterward of NWL with a
maximum distance of ±10'. Water depths within this area average ±2.5' below NWL.
This alignment will result in ±1,540 ftz of shallow bottom fill.
Area #4
■ Following the shoreline, area #4 is located ±228' south of area #3. The propose
bulkhead alignment will have ±230' of bulkhead constructed waterward of NWL. The
north end of this alignment will tie into the vinyl bulkhead authorized through GP#67629
and the south end will tie into an existing bulkhead section not being replaced. The
proposed alignment will have an average distance of ±4.4' waterward of NWL with a
maximum distance of ±9'. Water depths within this area average ±2.5' below NWL.
This alignment will result in ±646 ftZ of shallow bottom fill.
Area #5
■ Area #5 is located at the end of Yaupon Trail at the "L" shaped turnaround area. The
proposed alignment is semicircular in shape and totals ±107' in length. The north end
of this alignment will tie into the vinyl bulkhead authorized through GP#67629 and the
south end will tie into the existing bulkhead at the property line. The prop
osed
alignment will have an average distance of ±1 8.6'waterward of NWL with a maximum
distance of ±31'. Water depths within this area range from 2' below NWL adjacent to

Town of Southern Shores (Yaupon Trail Improvements)
Field Investigation Report
Page 4
the bulkhead to 3.5' below NWL within the alignment area. The average water depth is
±3' below NWL. This alignment will result in ±1,585 ft2 of shallow bottom fill.
• Phase Two
The existing roadbed will be removed and a 16' wide aggregate base will be installed with a
14' wide asphalt road surface. The proposed asphalt roadway will be offset >_10' from the
bulkhead alignment along its entire length to provide a road shoulder for both vehicle
recovery and to act as a stormwater basin infiltration area.
At the end of Yaupon Trail (Area #5), a cul-de-sac will be installed with a 60' diameter
aggregate base with a 58' diameter asphalt surface.
Existing impervious area within the Public Trust Shoreline AEC is ±13,951 ft2 (33%) and the
proposed roadway will increase this area to ±20,870 ft2 (49%). Existing impervious area for
the entire right-of-way is ±19,903 ftz (37%) and the proposed roadway will increase it to
±27,097 ft2 (51 %). The area of disturbance associated with the road widening is ±39,475 ft2.
Anticipated Impacts
• The construction of the bulkhe I e proposed alignments will result in the cumulative
filling of ±4,151 ft2 (0.095 acreof en waters within the Public Trust Area AEC with clean
fill from an upland sources
• The construction of the bulkhead along the proposed alignments will result in the cumulative
placement of ±410 cubic yards of fill material below NWL.
• The project will disturb ±39,475 ft2 (0.9 acres) of highground area
• Proposed impervious surface area within the Public Trust Shoreline AEC is ±20,870 ft2
(49%). Proposed impervious surface area within the entire right-of-way is ±27,097 ft2 (51 %).
Cumulative Impacts
CAMA General Permit #67629A was issued on 12/1/2016 for 496' of replacement bulkhead
2' waterward of the existing bulkhead. Impacts from this permit include ±992 ft2 of fill within
the Public Trust Area AEC and ±4,960 ft2 of Public Trust Shoreline AEC disturbance.
