PROJECT NARRATIVE
THOMAS D. & JULIE M. GARDNER
LOTS 30 & 31 — OSPREY DRIVE
ALBEMARLE SHORES U
CHOWAN COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
The applicant owns Lots 30 and 31 of Albemarle Shores II in Chowan County. The site is situated between
the improved Osprey Drive and Albemarle Sound. Highground along Osprey Drive is available for
wastewater disposal, and a highground area on the Albemarle Sound is desirable for residential
construction.
The project anticipates the need to fill wetlands which are subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act for
access and to support the residential construction. Also proposed is the construction of a bulkhead along
the eroding shoreline an average of 2 feet waterward of Normal Water yet not exceeding 5 feet. An 85-foot
long pier with a 20 x 20 foot tee is proposed to provide access to water for a shallow draft boat. Water
depths at the end of the pier are approximately 3.5 feet.
Of the 1.968 acres of wetlands at the site, 0.15 acres are proposed to be filled for access and 0.19 acres for
house construction. All fill will be retained by a retaining wall with 15-foot tiebacks. Mitigation is
proposed for unavailable wetland impacts from The Great Dismal Swamp Restoration Bank.

Consistent: Subject to permit review and conditions.
(G) 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: Navigation will not be interfered with.
(3) When the proposed development is in conflict with the general or specific use standards set forth in
this Rule, the CRC may approve the development if the applicant can demonstrate that the activity
associated with the proposed project will have public benefits as identified in the findings and goals of
the Coastal Area Management Act, that the public benefits outweigh the long range adverse effects of
the project, that there is no reasonable alternate site available for the project, and that all reasonable
means and measures to mitigate adverse impacts of the project have been incorporated into the project
design and shall be implemented at the applicant's expense. Measures taken to mitigate or minimize
adverse impacts shall include actions that:
Consistent: No conflict.

(6) Piers and Docking Facilities.
(A) Piers shall not exceed six feet in width. Piers greater than six feet in width shall be permitted
only if the greater width is necessary for safe use, to improve public access, or to support a
water dependent use that cannot otherwise occur;
Consistent: Proposed pier will be 6' wide.
(B) The total square footage of shaded impact for docks and mooring facilities (excluding the pier)
allowed shall be eight square feet per linear foot of shoreline with a maximum of 2,000 square feet.
In calculating the shaded impact, uncovered open water slips shall not be counted in the total.
Projects requiring dimensions greater than those stated in this Rule shall be permitted only if the
greater dimensions are necessary for safe use, to improve public access, or to support a water
dependent use that cannot otherwise occur. Size restrictions shall not apply to marinas;
Consistent: The combined area will be within the limitation.
(C) Piers and docking facilities over coastal wetlands shall be no wider than six feet and shall be
elevated at least three feet above any coastal wetland substrate as measured from the bottom
of the decking;
Consistent: None proposed.
(D) A boathouse shall not exceed 400 square feet except to accommodate a documented need for a
larger boathouse and shall have sides extending no farther than one-half the height of the walls
and covering only the top half of the walls. Measurements of square footage shall be taken of the

(E) Where possible, sloping rip -rap, gabions, or vegetation shall be used rather than bulkheads.
Consistent: The shoreline along the applicant's property is a high bluff and would require
significant alteration to accommodate a riprap or gabion alignment.
SECTION .0600 - DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS APPLICABLE TO ALL AECS
15A NCAC 07H .0601 NO VIOLATION OF ANY RULE
No development shall be allowed in any AEC which would result in a contravention or violation of any rules,
regulations, or laws of the State of North Carolina or of local government in which the development takes place.
Consistent: As proposed the project is consistent with the intent of this rule.
15A NCAC 07H .0602 POLLUTION OF WATERS
No development shall be allowed in any AEC which would have a substantial likelihood of causing pollution of
the waters of the state in which shellfishing is an existing use to the extent that such waters would be officially
closed to the taking of shellfish. This rule shall also apply to development adjacent to or within closed shellfish
waters when a use attainability study of those waters documents the presence of a significant shellfish resource
in an area that could be expected to be opened for shellfishing given reasonable efforts to control the existing
sources of pollution.
Consistent: As proposed the project is consistent with the intent of this rule
Observations and Comments:
Based on my review of the North Carolina Administrative Code, the permit application and plans the
entire development proposed could be undertaken without filling any non -coastal wetlands. I
recommend the following specific conditions should the request be approved:
1) No work should begin until the Division receives verification of mitigation acceptance and payment,
and,
2) The bulkhead alignment shall be staked by the applicant or their representative and verified by staff
prior to construction.

SUBJECT: Major Permit Request by Thomas and Jane Gardner to install 252 linear feet of
vinyl bulkhead and a 6 foot wide by 85 foot long pier with a 20 foot by 20 foot
terminus platform on the Albemarle Sound; install a gravel access road, septic
pumping station with septic drain field, two (2) retaining walls totaling 978 linear
feet and four (4) 24 inch diameter culverts, and; construct a single family house
with associated swimming pool and brick patio/pool deck; on the property at 226
and 228 Osprey Drive, off Drummond's Point Road, in Chowan County.
DATE: August 21, 2017
Consistency Determination: The request is consistent with/not in conflict with the Chowan
County/Town of Edenton 2008 Core Land Use Plan certified by
the CRC on July 24, 2008.
Overview: The 3.97-acre project site consists of two (2) vacant waterfront lots with a combined
shoreline of 255.33 linear feet along the Albemarle Sound. Water depths range from 0 at the
shoreline to -3.5 feet at a distance of 105 feet offshore. There is a 5 to 6-foot-high escarpment
along the natural shoreline with clear evidence of erosion. Fetch at this site is estimated at over
9 miles, making the shoreline extremely susceptible to erosion. The site consists of approximately
.74 acre of soundside uplands and 1.26 acres of roadside uplands that are bisected by
approximately 1.97 acres of Section 404 wetlands. The property is located primarily within the
AE floodzone with ".2 percent annual chance of flooding" areas near the roadway.
A 5 foot to 6-foot-high concrete barrier is located along the northeast corner of the shoreline. The
barrier was placed by the adjacent property owner to protect the corner of his bulkhead.
An initial Major Permit application for site development was reviewed on January 17, 2017. A
second was reviewed on February 1, 2017. This review is for an updated Major Permit application
routed on July 28, 2017. The updated application indicates reduced impacts to Section 404
wetlands and modification of proposed brick patio/pool deck and retention wall.
Installation of 252 linear feet of vinyl bulkhead and a 6-foot-wide by 85-foot-long pier with a 20
foot by 20-foot terminus platform on the Albemarle Sound; installation of a gravel access road,
septic pumping station with septic drain field, two (2) retaining walls totaling 978 linear feet and
four (4) 24-inch diameter culverts, and; construction of a single family house with associated
swimming pool and brick patio/pool deck are proposed. The vinyl bulkhead will be located an

average of 2 feet and a maximum of 5 feet waterward of Normal Water Level (NWL). The concrete
barrier at the northeast corner of the shoreline will be removed. Wetlands will be filled to allow for
construction of the access road and the waterfront building site. The septic pumping station will
be located on the soundside uplands and the septic drain field will be located on the roadside
uplands. The retaining walls will contain proposed wetland fill and the culverts will be used to
maintain a hydrological connection between the wetland areas. As determined from the wetland
fill plan, a well is to be located within 50 feet of the shoreline.
The waters of the Albemarle Sound in this area are classified as SB and are closed to shellfish
taking. Waters at the project site are known for Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) but no
vegetation was found within the proposed work area. Historic site (CO 0247) is located
approximately 3,500 feet south of the project site. There are no known geologic formations or
archaeological sites associated with the project site.
Anticipated Impacts resulting from this project are expected to include: filling of 504 sq. ft. of
Public Trust Area/Estuarine Waters Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC), 2,443 sq. ft. of
Estuarine Shoreline AEC; .34 acre of Section 404 Wetlands, and .17 acre of uplands outside of
an AEC; the grading of 1.13 acre of uplands within the Estuarine Shoreline AEC, and; the shading
of 910 sq. ft. of Public Trust Area/Estuarine Waters AEC.
The applicant's consultant has submitted an application to The Great Dismal Swamp Restoration
Bank, LLC to obtain wetland mitigation credits in trade for the proposed wetland fill. Confirmation
of the wetland mitigation credit has not been received.
Basis for Determination:
The Edenton/Chowan County Future Land Use Map identifies the project site as "Low Density
Residential". As indicated on Page 135, "...coastal wetlands, estuarine waters, estuarine
shoreline, public trust areas, and 'Section 404' wetlands..." are considered to be part of the
"Conservation/Open Space" designation.
Low Density Residential Classification. This designation is intended to delineate
lands where the predominant land use is low density residences, particularly
properties with waterfront access and areas where public water service is readily
available. The overall residential density within this classification is generally 1 to
2 dwelling units per acre.
Conservation/Open Space. This designation is intended to delineate areas where
traditional land uses are not desirable or expected to develop. Land development
may however include public building and facilities necessary to support existing
land uses... (P)assive recreation would be appropriate in this designation as long
as environmentally sensitive areas are not negatively impacted... The County's
goals and polices support the continued use of land in (this designation) for
appropriate uses that are compatible with the fragile naturi���vED
Conservation/Open Space areas.

SUBJECT: Gardner Dwelling Construction and Associated landscape Modifications, Chowan County
(21 submittal), ER 16-2321
Thank you for your letter of July 28, 2017, concerning the above referenced project. We have reviewed the
information provided and offer the following comments:
The proposed project area is located on Drummond Point at the mouth of the Yeopim River. This location has a
high probability for containing archaeological sites, particularly given its proximity to former Heriots Island,
also known as Batt's Island. Nathaniel Batts operated a trading business in the area during the seventeenth
century and archaeological sites associated with these or earlier activities may be present in the subject parcel.
The high ground along Osprey Drive, where the proposed septic drain field and "repair area" is to be located,
has the greatest potential to contain such deposits.
We recommend that prior to the initiation of any ground disturbing activities within the project area, a
comprehensive archaeological survey of the project area be conducted by an experienced archaeologist. The
purpose of this survey will be to identify and evaluate the significance of archaeological sites that may be
damaged or destroyed by the proposed project. Potential effects on unknown resources must be assessed prior
to the initiation of construction activities. Please note that our office now requests consultation with the Office
of State Archaeology Review Archaeologist to discuss appropriate field methodologies prior to the
archaeological field investigation. In addition to a standard subsurface archaeological survey through shovel
testing, we also recommend limited mechanical stripping be conducted in portions of the project area that have
especially high probability for archaeological remains.
One paper and one digital copy of all resulting archaeological reports, as well as one copy of the North
Carolina site form for each site recorded, should be forwarded to the Office of State Archaeology
through this office for review and comment as soon as they are available and in advance of any
construction or ground disturbance activities.
A list of archaeological consultants who have conducted or expressed an interest in contract work in
North Carolina is available at www.archaeology.ncdcr.pov/ncarch/resource/consultants.htm. The
archaeologists listed, or any other experienced archaeologist, may be contacted to conduct the
recommended survey.

application and your field investigation report.
We recommend that the following conditions be included in the State authorization:
1. All work authorized by this permit must be performed in strict compliance with the
attached plans, which are a part of this permit. Any modification to these plans must be approved
by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) prior to implementation.
2. The permittee understands and agrees that, if future operations by the United States
require the removal, relocation, or other alteration, of the structure or work herein authorized, or
if, in the opinion of the Secretary of the Army or his authorized representative, said structure or
work shall cause unreasonable obstruction to the free navigation of the navigable waters, the
permittee will be required, upon due notice from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, to remove,
relocate, or alter the structural work or obstructions caused thereby, without expense to the
United States. No claim shall be made against the United States on account of any such removal,
relocation, or alteration. The permittee shall notify NOAA/NATIONAL OCEAN SERVICE
Chief Source Data Unit N CS261, 1315 E West HWY- RM 7316, Silver Spring, MD 20910-
3282 at least two weeks prior to beginning work and upon completion of work.
3. Except as specified in the plans attached to this permit, no excavation, fill or mechanized
land -clearing activities shall take place at any time in the construction or maintenance of this
project, in such a manner as to impair normal flows and circulation patterns within waters or
wetlands or to reduce the reach of waters or wetlands.
4. In order to compensate for impacts associated with this permit, mitigation shall be
provided in accordance with the provisions outlined in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
Wilmington District Compensatory Mitigation Responsibility Transfer Form. The requirements
of this form, including any special conditions listed on this form, are hereby incorporated as
special conditions of this permit authorization.
5. Except as authorized by this permit or any USACE approved modification to this permit,
no excavation, fill or mechanized land -clearing activities shall take place at any time in the
construction or maintenance of this project, within waters or wetlands. This permit does not
authorize temporary placement or double handling of excavated or fill material within waters or
wetlands outside the permitted area. This prohibition applies to all borrow and fill activities
connected with this project.
6. The authorized structure and associated activity must not interfere with the public's right
to free navigation on all navigable waters of the United States. No attempt will be made by the
permittee to prevent the full and free use by the public of all navigable waters at or adjacent to
the authorized work for reason other than safety.
7. The permittee shall require its contractors and/or agents to comply with the terms and
conditions of this permit in the construction and maintenance of this project, and shall provide
each of its contractors and/or agents associated with the construction or maintenance of this
project with a copy of this permit. A copy of this permit, including all conditions, shall be
available at the project site during construction and maintenance of this project.
8. The permittee shall employ all sedimentation and erosion control measures necessary to
prevent an increase in sedimentation or turbidity within waters and wetlands outside the permit
area. This shall include, but is not limited to, the immediate installation of silt fencing or similar
appropriate devices around all areas subject to soil disturbance or the movement of earthen fill,
and the immediate stabilization of all disturbed areas. Additionally, the project must remain in
full compliance with all aspects of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (North
Carolina General Statutes Chapter 113A Article 4).
9. Violations of these conditions or violations of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act or
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act must be reported in writing to the Wilmington District
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers within 24 hours of the permittee's discovery of the violation.

Proilect Settinw
The applicant's project site consists of two vacant waterfront lots located at Albemarle Shores
Subdivision, in Chowan County; more specifically described as being lots #30 and #31 on
Osprey Drive. The property addresses are 226 and 228 Osprey Drive, Edenton, North Carolina.
Both lots have unprotected shorelines totaling-255.33' abutting the Albemarle Sound. A 5'
concrete barrier has been placed along the northeast corner of the applicant's shoreline by the
adjacent property owner, to protect the corner of their bulkhead. There is a 5' to 6' high
escarpment along the applicant's shoreline with clear evidence of erosion. It is estimated that
the fetch at this site is over 9 miles, making the shoreline extremely susceptible to erosion.
Both lots are deep (between 665' and 803') with two areas of high ground bisected by 1.968
acres of 404 wetlands. Uplands on the road side of the two properties is ~1.262 acres
(54,972sf), and the upland area on sound side is -.735 acres (23,016sf).
Albemarle Shores is a two phase 95 lot residential subdivision Zoned Al (Agricultural) by the
Chowan County Planning Department. Located to the north of Albemarle Shores, at the end of
Osprey Drive, is the entrance to The Refuge at Drummonds Point, a vacant waterfront
residential subdivision. Located to the immediate north of the applicant's property is a
developed residential lot, to the south is a vacant residential lot with an elevated walkway over
the 404 wetlands to access the waterfront section of the property. The two lots abut Osprey
Drive to the west and the Albemarle sound to the east.
Vegetation includes, but is not limited to, Black Tupelo (Nyssa sylvatica), Narrow -leaved Cattail
(Typha angustifolia), Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum), Arrow Arum (Peltandra virginica),
Virginia Chain Fern (Woodwardia virginica), Caric Sedge (Carex spp.), Swamp Loosestrife
(Decodon verticillatus), groundsel tree (Baccharis halimifolia), carolina jasmine (Gelsemium
sempervirens), Sweet Bay (Mannoila virginiana), Catbrier (smilax bona nox), Loblolly Pine
(Pinus teada), American Holly (Ilex opaca), Live Oak (Quercus Virginian), Poison Ivy,
(Toxicodendron radican), Spanish Moss (Tillandsia usneoides), Red Maple (Acerrubrum), Wax
Myrtle (Myrica cerifera), Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), and Pokeweed
(Phytolacca americana).
Water depths graduate from 0' at the shoreline to -3.5' at a distance 105' offshore. The waters
adjacent to the project site are a known submerged aquatic habitat, but no vegetation was
found within any proposed work area.
One known historic site (CO 0247) is documented as being-3,500' south of the applicant's
property. There are no known geologic formations or archaeological sites associated with the
applicant's property.
Development Proposal
The applicant's, Thomas and Julie Gardner, propose the following development: 1) the filling of
14,818sf of 404 wetlands for the construction of an. access road and a waterfront building site
(this is a second submittal with a reduction of wetland impacts of 7,275sf), 2) the installation of
a septic pumping station from the sound side of the property to a septic

drain field on the road side of the property, 3) �e cons'tfUct 46%f - 78' of retaining wall to
contain the proposed wetland fill, 4) the installation of (4) 24" culverts to maintain a hydrological
connection between the wetland areas to the north and south of the proposed fill area, 4) the
construction of a single family residence, 5) construction of a swimming pool, 6) installation of a
brick patio/pool deck, 7) the construction of a -252' long vinyl bulkhead an average of 2'
waterward of normal water level (NWL), and, 8) the construction of a 85' x 6' pier with a 20' x
20' platform.
The applicant's consultant, George Wood, has submitted application to The Great Dismal
Swamp Restoration Bank, LLC, to obtain 1.01 wetland mitigation credits in trade for the
proposed wetland fill. Confirmation of the mitigation credit has not been received.
The total area of proposed land disturbance will be 74,OOOsf (1.69acres), and the total area of
water impact will be 1,414sf
Proposed development will involve the following:
1) Wetland Fill
404 Fill: 14,818sf
Fill within the 75' Area of Environmental Concern (AEC) = 185sf
2) Shallow Water Bottom Fill
Bulkhead: -252' long x 2'average (5' max.) waterward of NWL = 504sf
3) Open Water Shading - Location to be 25' south of the nearest riparian line.
Pier: 85' x 6' = 510sf
Platform: 20' x 20' = 400sf
910sf
4) Associated Land Disturbance
Disturbance associated with the installation of the septic drain field, pumping
station and bulkhead = 59,182sf
Residence, swimming pool, patio/pool deck and gravel driveway = 9,796sf
Within the 75' AEC = 2,443sf (>50' from NWL at the proposed bulkhead
alignment)
Total area of impact: Land = 74,OOOsf
Water= 1,414sf
75,414sf
Anticipated Impacts
1) Approximately 14,818sf of 404 wetlands will be filled.
2) Project will result in the shading of 910sf of open water from the pier and platform.
3) Approximately 504sf of shallow bottom will be filled by the construction of a new
bulkhead.
Thomas & Julie Gardner
Field Investigation Report

4) The proposed development may temporarily disrupt animal populations within adjacent
waters and the project area.
5) Installation of pilings for the proposed piers may result in temporally suspending
sediments in the water.
6) During the project construction it is anticipated that noise levels may periodically
increase above surrounding background (ambient) levels from heavy equipment.
7) Treated wood leaches over time in surrounding waters and sediment. The amount of
leaching is dependent on the type of organic material present in the water bottom
substrate, oxygen levels and water movement; however, it is estimated that 90% of the
leaching will occur within the first 90 days.
