Hey Gregg,
I have copied Chad as well since he's handling the 401 Cert. for New Hanover and Brunswick Co. projects.
Discovery Diving, Inc. application (19920260v2) states that "the spoils disposal area is not known, and a site will be
determined at a future date by contractor. No dredging will occur until the spoil disposal site is approved by DCM". If
we can include language in the condition that includes: The disposal area shall inspected and approved by the DCM, in
consultation with the appropriate resource agencies such as USACE and DWR. Liz is also aware of this and may have
additional comments pertaining to this portion of the application. We'll be issuing this through our GC 4144. 1 did not
see the application fee, but based on the proposed work this requires a fee for the 401 Cert.
Town of Swansboro (Ward Shore Park) will be 20180568 through our GC 4144, and Hammocks Beach State Park will be
20180567 through our GC 4144 as well.

From: Michael Christenbury, Wilmington District Planne
Subject: Consistency Determination, Major Permit Applicaknown of
Swansboro (Ward Shore Park) Onslow County
Date: May 17, 2018
CONSISTENCY DETERMINATION:
This project is consistent with the Swansboro CAMA Land Use Plan Update.
The applicant proposes to construct a living shoreline adjacent to Ward Shore Park along
the AIWW in Swansboro, Onslow County.
Areas of Environmental Concern (AFC's) impacted by the proposal are ES, PTA and
EW. Waters at the project site are classified as SA and are not open to the harvest of
shellfish. The area is not a Primary Nursery Area.
I have reviewed this proposal for consistency with the Swansboro CAMA Land Use Plan
Update and offer the following comments.
The general area of the project is classified as Conservation.
In general, Swansboro allows development in Conservation classified areas and AECs,
which is consistent with the State's minimum use standards. The Swansboro Land Use
Plan contains some policies and discussion, 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 Swansboro CAMA Land Use Plan
Update.

Subject: RE: Ward Shore Park
Gregg,
The Ward Shore Park living shoreline project does encroach into the adjacent riparian 15' setback however the applicant
has designed the project to be consistent with the setback language in GP .2700 which states the following:
(p) All structures shall have a minimum setback distance of 15 feet between any parts of the structure and the adjacent
property owner's riparian access corridor, unless either a signed waiver statement is obtained from the adjacent
property owner or the portion of the structure within 15 feet of the adjacent riparian access corridor is located no more
than 25 feet from the mean high or normal water level. The riparian access corridor line is determined by drawing a line
parallel to the channel, then drawing a line perpendicular to the channel line that intersects with the shore at the point
where the upland property line meets the water's edge.
Therefore, I recommend the project be permitted with standard and other agency conditions.

FROM: Maria T. Dunn, Coastal Coordinator
10P SECTION MHD
Habitat Conservation Division
DATE: June 13, 2018
SUBJECT: CAMA Dredge/Fill Permit Application for Town of Swansboro, Onslow 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 adjacent the shoreline of Ward Shore Park in Swansboro, NC. 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 to construct a living shoreline by installing a series of offshore sills and
backfilling before planting coastal wetland plants. The granite sills would have a 16' base width
and a 3' top width. The positioning of the five sills would be between 22' and 42' waterward the
existing derelict bulkhead, ranging in lengths between 25' and 112'. Nine cubic yards of material
is proposed to be placed landward the sills to increase elevation to plant coastal wetland species.
Eroded areas behind the bulkhead will be excavated to appropriate grade to plant "high marsh"
species. Water depths in the project area are -I' to -2' NLW. Ward Creek in this area is classified
SA and is not designated a primary nursery area (PNA). However, Ward Creek becomes a
designated PNA 670' west the project area.
The NCWRC has reviewed the permit application and does not object to the construction of the
living shoreline. A scoping meeting was conducted and recommendations were given to the
applicant that have been incorporated into the project design. We do have concerns with the
Mailing Address: Habitat Conservation • 1721 Mail Service Center • Raleigh, NC 27699-1721
Telephone: [phone] • Fa:: [phone]

.. ,
placement of fill landward the sills. Our recommendation during the meeting was to not
incorporate fill into the project design, but to plant wetland species in the water depths
appropriate for success and allow the sill to perform as designed to create a quiescence to allow
wetlands to propagate. This is still our recommendation, though we would not object to the
project if the recommendation is not accepted by the applicant.
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
niaria,[e-mail]

Ward Shore Park is a waterfront recreational facility owned by the Town of Swansboro as a component of the Town's Parks
& Recreation Department. An existing wooden bulkhead at the site is failing, resulting in continuing erosion of the site. The
purpose of the project is to stabilize and protect the eroding shoreline by utilizing "Living Shoreline" methods as an
alternative to replacing the bulkhead. Additional benefits include provision of habitat and water quality improvements by
trapping sediment from high ground runoff. The site will continue to provide visual access to the White Oak River and other
recreational benefits for residents and visitors to Swansboro.
c. 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.
Sand and stone will be delivered by dump truck, materials will be staged for placement with rubber tire loader and placed by

shoreline adjacent to Ward Shore Park. A series of rock sills, back fill and marsh plantings
would be placed offshore of an existing failing bulkhead.

.J
Field Investigation Report:
Town of Swansboro
Page 02
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The Ward Shore Park project is located at the 400 block
of Water St. in Swansboro adjacent to Bogue Sound. Ward Shore Park is located near the
terminus of Water St. on the South side of a sharp bend. The AIWW setback line borders
the park 220' to the South.
Ward Shore Park is 8,847ft2 in size and is mostly undeveloped. The park is vegetated with
grasses and various landscape plants. Existing along the 295' shoreline is a dilapidated
bulkhead. The bottom of Bogue Sound adjacent to the bulkhead is mostly sand and silt
with broken debris scattered in the sediment. Water depths in the area are -1' to -2' at
NLW. Ward creek PNA is 670' west of project area.
The Division of Water Resources classifies this area of Bogue Sound as SA waters. This
is not a Primary Nursery Area. This portion of Bogue Sound is closed to harvesting
shellfish. There are no SAV's or significant shellfish populations in the areas to be
disturbed. The parcel is classified in the Swansboro LUP as Conservation.
10. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The City of Swansboro is proposing to create a living
shoreline by constructing a series of offshore sills and backfilling before planting Coastal
Wetland Plants. Each Granite sill would have a base width of 16' and a top with of 3'. Sill
A would be 84' long and range from 35' to 40' waterward of the bulkhead. Sill B would be
25' long and be located 25' waterward of the bulkhead. Sill C would be 100' long and be
located 42' waterward of the bulkhead. Sill D would be 25' long and located 22' waterward
of the bulkhead. Sill E would be 112' long and would begin 42' waterward of the bulkhead
and would bend back into the bulkhead. An additional 25'X6' support structure would be
placed behind Sill A. Two 3'X10' support structures would be placed between sills A, C
and E. The derelict bulkhead would remain in place even after completion of the sills.
gc0,5tO
The applicant is proposing to placed' of clean sand fill material between the existing
bulkhead and the Granit sills. This area would be planted with Spartina alterniflora to create
low marsh. Water depths in this area would change from -I'NLW to an average of +.8'
above NLW.
Landward of the existing bulkhead the applicant is proposing to excavate the eroded areas
and plant Spartina patens and Juncus romerianus to create high marsh. These areas would
be a maximum of 5' wide. The created high marsh would be occasionally flooded through
the failing bulkhead.
The property owner to the East of the project (Everette) has waived the 15' riparian setback.
The property owner to the West has not waived their setback. The sill would encroach into
the 15' riparian setback of this property but would be constructed no further than 24' from
NHW.
11. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The proposed living shoreline would fill 10,500112 of
Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area. There would be 260ft2 of Estuarine Shoreline
excavated. Hindrance to navigation could occur if reefs are not marked properly. The living
shoreline would create habitat for marine organisms and improve water quality by
promotion of oyster habitat. The proposed project encroaches into the 15' riparian setbacks.

db
` Secondary impacts, if any, to neighboring properties are unknown. The project could inhibit
the publics access to adjacent waters by usurping 10,500ftz of Public Trust Area. An
increase in turbidity would occur during construction and continue until area is stabilized.

Ward Shore Park Living Shoreline
Onslow County
Project Narrative
Introduction
Ward Shore Park is a waterfront recreational facility owned by the Town of Swansboro. Located
on the White Oak River, the site has traditionally served as a neighborhood water access site for
children and adults and currently features picnic tables, seating, and swings. The park provides
opportunities for pedestrian and visual access to the water and has functioned in recent years
as a component of the Town's Parks and Recreation Department. It is located a short walk from
the downtown area and is an element of the White Oak River Trail, a long-term plan for
development of a walking route along the Swansboro waterfront.
A wooden bulkhead installed at the park several years ago to address an eroding shoreline has
now deteriorated. As a result additional erosion is occurring landward of the bulkhead.
The Town has received a Water Resources Development Project Grant, administered by the NC
Division of Water Resources, for development of a Living Shoreline at the site. The shoreline
stabilization project began as a bulkhead replacement project. However, with encouragement
from Division of Water Resources staff the Town has chosen to stabilize and protect the
shoreline with a Living Shoreline rather than a new bulkhead.
The Town initially conducted an evaluation of the appropriateness of the site for a Living
Shoreline with assistance from Dr. Lexia Weaver and Sam Bland of the North Carolina Coastal
Federation. After several onsite visits it was determined by Coastal Federation staff that the site
is conducive for creation of a Living Shoreline. Dr. Ken Riley of the National Marine Fisheries
Service and Spencer Rogers of the North Carolina Sea Grant were also consulted in the
development of project plans, and along with Dr. Weaver provided technical assistance to the
project engineer and planner in designing the Living Shoreline.
The Living Shoreline project was reviewed at a multi -agency scoping meeting in September at
the NC Department of Environmental Quality Wilmington Regional Office. It was confirmed at
the meeting that a major CAMA permit will be required to build the project.

The project involves strategic placement of plants and limited amounts of stone and sand fill to
provide the protection of a traditional bulkhead while encouraging development of a natural
shoreline. In addition to halting erosion and preserving the parcel for continuing public access,
project goals include enhancement of the public water access experience of park visitors. The
Town proposes to accomplish these goals by developing a Living Shoreline that will provide
shoreline access to wildlife, provide shallow water habitat for aquatic and terrestrial animals,
and improve water quality.
The project is consistent with policies for improving public water access and other recreational
opportunities contained in several Town plans and policy documents. The project will
implement policies contained in the Town of Swansboro CAMA Land Use Plan, Waterfront
Access and Development Plan, Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Plan, and report of the
Downtown Renaissance Committee.
Land use and recreation policies support preservation and maintenance of areas that have
traditionally been used for public access and protection of waterfront shoreline areas and
valuable scenic areas. The Downtown Renaissance Committee recommended continued efforts
to improve public pedestrian access to the waterfront, while the waterfront access plan
specifically supports Ward Shore Park.
Ward Shore Park was dedicated as a beach area on the recorded map of Edgewater Heights
subdivision in 1940. It is listed by the Onslow County Tax Assessor in the name of the Town of
Swansboro. It is believed that the Town has been listed as such since the mid-1980s. The Town
has maintained control of the park since that time. Correspondence from the Town's current
and former attorneys is included with this application in support of the Town's claim to the
project site.
Site Description
Ward Shore Park is situated directly on the White Oak River near the "turning basin" of the
Intracoastal Waterway. It is located in the 400 block of Water Street just south of the
Swansboro downtown area, outside the National Registered Historic District and the Town -
designated urban waterfront area. The site is located four blocks from NC Highway 24, the
principal transportation artery in Swansboro.
The project site measures 8,847 square feet, based on a recent (2017) survey of the site. The
entire parcel is located in the 75' Coastal Shoreline Area of Environmental Concern (AEC), with

295 linear feet of shoreline. Average elevation of the tract above Normal High Water (NHW) is
approximately 3.5'. Low water depths within 50' of the shoreline range from -0.9' Normal Low
Water (NLW) to -1.9' NLW.
Grasses and landscape plants are located on the property, including a rain garden area. A small
area of coastal wetlands is located along the western end of the shoreline.
In addition to the failing wooden bulkhead, a wooden high ground deck, post fence, picnic
tables, seating, and swings are located on the property. A retaining wall and fence associated
with the adjacent property is encroaching on the park property on the western end.
Adjacent uses are residential, with a commercial marina located within close proximity of the
park. The Town of Swansboro zones the property as GE Government -Educational. Division of
Water Resources Surface Water Classification of the White Oak River at the project site is SC.
The park is served by underground electrical service for existing street lights. No wastewater or
drinking water services are associated with the Park, although central water and sewer are
provided to adjacent properties by Onslow Water and Sewer Authority (ONWASA).
A search of CAMA permit records did not identify any history of dredging at the site or at
adjacent properties. Dr. Ken Riley confirmed that a generalized assessment was conducted on
September 18, 2017 to determine the presence of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAVs) and
shellfish at the site. No SAVs were detected and very few oysters were observed. The small
number of oysters was found on the existing bulkhead. It is noted that the area is closed to the
harvesting of shellfish.
A comparison of maps of the site from 1940, 2011, and 2017 shows a steadily eroding
shoreline. Areas behind the existing bulkhead measuring 2 linear feet are identified on the 2017
survey as washouts. The total estimated volume of erosion (washouts) in the previous 12
months is 9 cubic yards.
The 2017 survey shows a monument in the water just offshore of the park. It is believed that
the monument is related to the property corner at the time the parcel was platted, but is now
in the water due to erosion of the property. The State Historic Preservation Office was
requested to assess any potential impacts to the monument that might affect the project. A
preliminary response received from the Underwater Archaeology Branch of the Office of State

Archeology is that there should be no effect from the project on significant archaeological
resources.
Maurice and Penny Johnson are the owners of the adjacent riparian property to the west of the
project site. Kirby L. Everette, Jr. owns the adjacent riparian property to the east.
Project Description
The Town of Swansboro proposes to stabilize and protect the shoreline of Ward Shore Park by
utilizing alternative shoreline protection methods. The Town proposes to develop a Living
Shoreline at the public waterfront access facility by constructing a series of rock sills, placing
sand between the shoreline and sills and in eroded areas behind the existing bulkhead, and
planting of marsh vegetation. Sand placement in the water will be contained by support
structures associated with the sills as shown on project plans. Low marsh vegetation (Spartina
alterniflora) will be planted between the bulkhead and sills, with high marsh plants (a
combination of Spartina patens and Juncus roemerianus) established landward of the existing
bulkhead.
Currently stormwater runoff from adjoining properties and streets appears to sheet flow over
and through the existing bulkhead, contributing to the instability of the park shoreline and
carrying sediment and other pollutants into the river. The Town proposes to leave the failing
bulkhead in place to minimize construction land disturbance and decrease the erosion potential
of runoff. As flow patterns become evident openings may be created in the bulkhead to more
evenly disperse the runoff. The existing bulkhead will also provide some interim degree of
stability to the shoreline during the period needed to establish the marsh plantings.
During the scoping meeting and other preliminary discussions with regulatory agencies, a kayak
launch was considered for placement at the site. The Town has opted not to provide a kayak
launch at this time. The primary goal of the current project is to protect, maintain, and restore
the shoreline of the public access facility in the most ecologically suitable manner.
The system of sills will extend for a distance of 305' parallel to the shoreline. The width of the
sills will range from 12' to 16'. The proposed sill system extends into the 15' riparian corridor
setback on the east side of the project site. A copy of a waiver to the setback dated December
15, 2017 provided by adjacent riparian property owner Kirby L. Everette, Jr. is included with this
permit application.

The sill system also extends into the 15' riparian corridor setback on the west side. No waiver
has been provided by the owner of the adjacent riparian property owner on this side. The
portion of the proposed sill within the western setback is located a maximum of 24' from mean
high or normal water level, consistent with guidance contained in 15A NCAC 7H .2700 for
construction of riprap sills in locations where waivers are not available.
The outermost extent of the proposed sills will extend an average distance of 38' waterward of
NHW with a maximum distance of 46' from NHW. The landward edge of the proposed sills will
be less than 30' from NHW. The sills will be constructed of granite rock placed over woven
geotextile fabric. A total of 4,920 square feet of stone will be placed below the water level in
the construction of the sills, with an additional 145 square feet of stone placed below the water
level to construct the associated sand fill support structures described later in this narrative.
The area to be filled with sand below the water level (between the existing bulkhead and sill
sections) measures 5,600 square feet. Washed granite rock and clean sandy material will be
brought to the project site by the contractor.
A total of five sills are proposed. Sill A measures 84' in length, with a width of 16' narrowing to
12'. The waterward extent of the sill section within the 15' riparian corridor setback is located
24' from NHW. The landward side of the sill within the setback is located 12' from NHW.
Sill B is off -set closer to the shoreline and overlaps both Sill A and Sill C by 10' to provide for a 5'
opening. It measures 25' long and 12' wide with the landward edge located 12' from NHW.
Sill C is aligned with Sill A and is located 26' on the landward side from NHW. This section
measures 100' long by 16' wide.
Sill D is offset and overlaps Sills C and E, both by 10', to provide a minimum 5' opening in the
same manner as Sill B. Sill D measures 25' by 15'. It is located 7' from NHW on the landward
side.
Sill E is aligned with Sills A and C and curves to tie into the existing bulkhead at the edge of the
neighboring property. The sill section measures 112' long and is 16' wide narrowing to 12' at
the point it joins the bulkhead. A 5' minimum drop -down 6" above the fill is located mid -way of
the sill.

All sill sections are designed with 1.5:2 slopes on the landward side, and 1.25:2 slopes on the
waterward side. The sills are designed to be constructed with 300- to 900-pound granite stones,
with the smaller stones distributed internally. The sills will be porous to allow water circulation
through the structures. The crest elevation is 3' NLW (unless noted otherwise on plans) or
slightly less than 1' above NLW. The sills are to be marked at 50' intervals with yellow reflectors
extending at least 3' above the mean high water level.
Clean sand fill is proposed for placement between the existing bulkhead and waterward edge of
sill sections. The purpose of the fill is to provide a suitable substrate for the establishment of
wetland vegetation and an area of open water landward of the sills. The fill will be contained by
the sill sections and three support structures, as shown on project plans.
The water area to be filled with clean sand for preparation of the substrate for planting and
growing low marsh vegetation measures 230' along the centerline of the fill between the
bulkhead and the proposed mid -tide level to the point of Sill E intersection with the existing
bulkhead. The width of the fill area for low marsh plantings varies from 0' to 20'. The average
existing water depth for this fill area is -1.0 NLW, with final average project depth in the low
marsh planting zone of +1.6 NLW. Fill volume in this area totals 400 cubic yards placed in 4,000
square feet of water.
In order to maintain an open water area deeper than mid -tide level (MTL) landward of the sill,
fill depths will be shallower in the area between the landward edge of Sills A, C, and E and the
area proposed for low marsh plants. The area proposed for open water measures 215' with
widths ranging from 0' to 8'. From the "Proposed MTL" (on project plans) to the landward
edges of Sills A, C, and E, average existing depths are -1.2' NLW, with final average project
depth in this zone of + 0.5 NLW. The open water area landward of the sills and below MTL
measures 1600 square feet. Fill volume will be 100 cubic yards of sand placed below mean tide
level.
Support Structure 1 is located at the western edge of the sand fill area. It measures 20' long and
6' wide narrowing to 3' with a 2:1 slope. The top elevation of Support Structure 1 at
intersection with bulkhead is 2.07' NLW. The fill edge will be protected by granite stone over

woven geotextile fabric. This support structure also prevents filling of the coastal wetlands
located parallel to the shoreline on the western portion of the project site.
Support Structures 2 and 3 each measure 10' long and 3' wide. Structure 2 is located between
Sills A and C and will protect the fill edge with granite stone over geotextile fabric. Structure 3 is
located between Sills C and E. The design slope for both structures is 2:1. The finished top
elevation of Support Structures 2 is -0.12' NLW. The top finished elevation of Support Structure
3 is -0.2' NLW.
Sand will be placed in the washed out areas behind the bulkhead to prepare the site for high
marsh plantings. It is anticipated that 9 cubic yards of fill sand will be required. No fill will be
placed in existing wetlands or in in areas affecting SAVs or shellfish.
The measurements of the sills and support sections are also found on a table attached to Form
DCM MP-2 Excavation and Fill provided with this submission. The project involves no
excavation.
Construction Methods
Sand and stone will be delivered to th site by dump truck. Materials will be staged for
placement with a rubber tire loader and placed by track hoe from land or shallow draft barge. A
sediment fence will be used on high ground to keep the fill material onsite and control erosion.
A turbidity curtain will be used in the water.
The barge will be stored in deep water. Other equipment will be stored on highground.

Dear Mr. Davenport:
This is to confirm that the Town park known as Ward Shore Park was dedicated as a
beach area on the recorded map of Edgewater Heights subdivision in 1940. It is my
understanding that the property has been listed by the Onslow County Tax Assessor
in the name of the Town of Swansboro since the mid-1980s. The Town has
maintained control of that dedicated area as a Town park since that time.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Patti Chandler ha_s referred to me your note dated April 25, 1985
regarding parcel 1405-170. Both Carl Milsted and I searched the
title for this parcel as well as the adjoining parcel which is
referred to herein as the Donald Barnes lot, recorded in Book 515,
Page 739, Onslow County Registry. The grantors of both deeds have
no in -conveyance giving them any ownership in the property described
in these deeds.
The Town of Swansboro was reserved an easement adjacent to Lot 1,
Section D, Edgewater Heights, as recorded in Map Book 1, Page 122,
Onslow County Registry. By operation of law, such dedication
conveyed ownership in that property reserved to the Town of
Swansboro. At no time has the Town of Swansboro conveyed any
portion of that properly to any other persons and certainly not to
the grantors in the Donald Barnes deed -or the Hardy Sullivan deed.
As such, the Town does not acknowledge ownership or any other rights
of any other party in these properties.
If you have any further questions regarding the properties, please
feel free to call on me. With warmest regards, I remain,
Sincerel ours,

Copy
4/9/18
The NC Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your application for State
approval for development at Ward Shore Park. The complete package was received on 3/27/18. The
projected deadline for making a decision is 6/9/18. 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 3/27/ 18, 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 post this notice could
result in an incomplete application.
An onsite inspection will be made, and if additional information is required, you will be contacted by the
appropriate State or Federal agency. Please contact me if you have any questions and notify me in
writing if you wish to receive a copy of my field report and/or comments from reviewing agencies.

The Town of Swansboro proposes to develop a Living Shoreline at Ward Shore Park to protect an eroding
shoreline. Per our discussion this week I am submitting DCM MP-1 Application for Major Development
Permit. Also included is a copy of the project plans signed and sealed by the project engineer and an agent
letter authorizing me to represent the Town on this project. Also included is check number 34378 in the
amount of $400.00 written on the account of the Town for the permit application fee.
The Town is in the process of obtaining waivers from the adjacent riparian property owners for
construction of the proposed rock sills. Upon receipt of the waivers I will submit them to you, along with
the remaining required major permit application documents.
Thank you for your assistance with this project. Please call me at 252-240-9297 if you have questions or

Give a brief description of purpose, use, and daily operations of the project when complete.
Ward Shore Park is a waterfront recreational facility owned by the Town of Swansboro as a component of the Town's Parks
& Recreation Department. An existing wooden bulkhead at the site is failing, resulting in continuing erosion of the site. The
purpose of the project is to stabilize and protect the eroding shoreline by utilizing "Living Shoreline" methods as an
alternative to replacing the bulkhead. Additional benefits include provision of habitat and water quality improvements by
trapping sediment from high ground runoff. The site will continue to provide visual access to the White Oak River and other
recreational benefits for residents and visitors to Swansboro.
c.
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.

track hoe from land or shallow draft barge. Barge will be stored in deep water. Other equipment will be stored on highground.
d.
List all development activities you propose.
Construction of a series of rock sills and placement of sand fill between the shoreline and sills to be planted with low marsh
plants. High marsh plants will be planted landward of the existing bulkhead.
e.
Are the proposed activities maintenance of an existing project, new work, or both? New work.
I.
What is the approximate total disturbed land area resulting from the proposed project? On highground: less than 4,000
SSq.Ft or []Acres
g.
Will the proposed project

that the public has established
use of?
h.
Describe location and type of existing and proposed discharges to waters of the state.
Currently runoff appears to sheet flow over and through the existing failing bulkhead carrying sediment and other pollutants
into the river. It is anticipated that the Living Shoreline will slow runoff and promote sedimentation, filtration, and evaporation
of the stormwater.
i.
Will wastewater or stormwater be discharged into a wetland? []Yes SNo ❑NA
If yes, will this discharged water be of the same salinity as the receiving water.? ❑Yes []No SNA
j.
Is there any mitigation proposed? ❑Yes SNo []NA
