MEMORANDUM
To: Heather Coats LAI
From: Michael Christenbury, Wilmington District Planne
Subject: Consistency Determination, Major Permit Applicat on, Mark and Roxann
Knierim, Pender County
Date: June 16, 2017
The applicant proposes to construct a pier, gazebo and docking facility, as well as
perform maintenance dredging within the existing canal/creek. The project is located at
172 Olde Point Road, adjacent to Old Topsail Creek in Hampstead, Pender County.
Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC's) impacted by the proposal are PT, ES, CW and
EW. Waters at the project site are classified as SA, HQW and are not open to the
harvesting of shellfish. The area is a Primary Nursery Area.
I have reviewed this proposal for consistency with the Pender County Comprehensive
Land Use Plan and offer the following comments.
The general area of the project is classified Residential, while the AECs impacted by the
work are classified as Conservation and Resource Protection.
In general, Pender County allows development in Conservation and Resource Protection
classified AECs which is consistent with the State's minimum use standards. The Pender
County Land Use Plan contains some policies, which exceed the State's minimum use
standards. However, none of these more restrictive policies appear to be applicable to
this project.
This project is consistent with the 2012 Pender County Comprehensive Land Use
Plan Update.

Thanks for the updated plans and we are onboard. Our office will issue the 401 Cert. under our old GC 3900 since this

Hi all,
Adam has submitted the attached revised MP forms to reflect the plan I previously sent about a month ago. After
further review of the plan and discussion, it was determined he did not need to reduce the size of the platform in this
case. Please note that he is proposing all 4 slips on the waterward side of the float due to small vessel size, and does not
intend to dock on the back side of the float.
Let me know if you have any questions or further comments.
Thanks!

The applicant proposes to construct a new private docking facility and perform maintenance dredging
within the existing canal / creek The access pier, covered gazebo, and floating dock would create three
slips in water depths from -2.0' to -2.9' NLW. The applicant has also provided information stating
dredging occurred from the "channel" are of the canal near his property and that "maintenance"
excavation is being requested in this area to obtain water depths of the connecting waters of Nixon Creek
The distance of the excavation from wetlands is stated to be 10'. Old Topsail Creek in this area is
classified SA by the Environmental Management Commission and is designated a Primary Nursery Area
(PNA) by the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF).
The NCWRC has reviewed the project proposal and has discussed the project with a representative for
NCDMF. From our understanding there is a concern for shellfish present in the footprint of the project,
the exact layout of the PNA line, and overall impacts to marine resources. We therefore encourage
consultation between the applicant and agencies representing marine resource concerns to minimize those
impacts. We support these measures to minimize impacts to aquatic resources overall.

Heather, based on this revised drawing, I will remove my previous objections to the project because disturbance to
existing shell habitat has been avoided. I would also like to add that I would be more than happy to identify the
boundary of the shell resource for the applicant if it will aid in the dredging activities. Please keep me involved in any

Hi all,
Adam has submitted the attached revised MP forms to reflect the plan I previously sent about a month ago. After
further review of the plan and discussion, it was determined he did not need to reduce the size of the platform in this
case. Please note that he is proposing all 4 slips on the waterward side of the float due to small vessel size, and does not
intend to dock on the back side of the float.
Let me know if you have any questions or further comments.

MEMORANDUM:
TO: Heather Coats, DCM Assistant Major PermitCoordinator
FROM: Gregg Bodnar, DCM Fisheries Resource Specialist
SUBJECT: Mark and Roxann Kinerim
DATE: 3/6/2017
A North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (OCM) Fisheries Resource'Specialist has`reviewed the
subject permit application for proposed actions that impact fish and _fish habitats. The applicant proposes to
construct and docking facility and perform maintenance dredging. The.surrounding waters,are classified as
SA, closed to shellfish harvest, and are Secondary Nursery Area (SNA) within the historic dredged channel and
Primary Nursery Area (PNA) immediately adjacent to the channel. Water depths range from.0.0fito -5ft at
normal low water (NLW). Oyster resource is present and an oyster survey was requested on 12/20/2016. -
A scoping meeting was held on March 18, 2016 to discuss the project, where ,the applicant proposed to
construct a 170ft x 6ft pier, 16ft x 16ft gazebo, 45ft long.x Eft wide floating dock, and a 230ft long x 40ft wide
x -5ft deep dredge footprint from the facility downstream to'Nixon;Channel. The applicant-has.applied for 5ft
wide pier, a 16ftx20ft gazebo and a 60ftx8ft floating dock, with a dredge footprint of 300ft long x 25ft wide x -
Sft deep. Increases have occurred in the length of the floating,dock and consequently the dredge footprint
has increased In length upstream by approximately 70ft.
An oyster survey was requested on December 20, 2016., A survey dated 11/20/2016 and corresponding letter
dated 2/10/2017 identified oyster resource within -the footprint of the proposed floating dock and within the
proposed dredge footprint. Though no assessment of the volume or area of the oyster footprint 'was made,
these two shell beds would be impacted by both the floating dock and dredge footprint. Shell bottom is an
extremely productive self -building three dimensional habitat that can be impacted long term through
dredging and filling, pollution and other contaminants, and direct impact byvessels or floating structures.
This vital estuarine habitat is very limited in North Carolina, and restoration and conservation of shellfish
habitat.is at the forefront. The presence of live shellfish that historically or currently survive due to favorable
conditions is considered shellfish habitat. Therefore, shellfish resource still exists even if waters are
permanently or conditionally closed.
The waters in question are also designated by NC DMF as SNA within the historic dredge, footprint and PNA
immediately outside of the dredge footprint. Records provided by the applicant and a subsequent records
review by this Specialist of historic CAMA documentation does not provide a clear picture of the SNA/PNA
boundary as it relates to the historic dredge footprint, but does provide evidence of dredging. With the
proposal to authorize maintenance dredging within this channel, the proposed dredge footprint represents a
Slate aMoM Carolina I Envimurnental Quality I Coastal Management

232-808-28081252-247-3330(11aa)

clear and documented delineation, and consequently this dredge footprint is viewed as the standing
SNA/PNA boundary. Therefore, there are two separate oyster resourcesfound within the, project area; the
oyster resource located:at the floating dock and within MA, and the oyster resource within the proposed
dredge footprint and within SNA. The docking facility and oyster resource associated with it both lie entirely
within PNA habitat. PNAs are estuarine waters where initial post -larval development occurs. Species within
this area are early post -larval to juvenile and include finfish, crabs, and shrimp. Species inhabit PNAs because
they afford food, protection, and 'proper environmental conditions during vulnerable periods of their life
history, thus protection of these areas are imperative. Therefore, it is recommended that.this oyster
resource stay in place and the dredge footprint include a 10ft buffer from all oyster resource and coastal
_—' —wetlands.—Furthermore; it is'recommended'the dredge depth -be reduced to --oft at MLW: The alteration" -
will reduce the impacts to the shallow bottom associated with the SNA and reduce impacts to the PNA
habitat with a shallower cut. A -oft at MLW cut is applicable to the.style and draft of the typical vessel
utilizing these creeks, and should allow the proposed floating dock to rest in sufficient water depth.
Floating docks repeatedly resting on the bottom can kill aquatic vegetation or shellfish beds, create anoxia in°
the sediment.which can kill benthic invertebrates, and reduce the availability of shallow bottom habitat
during low tide. The original dimensions of the floating dock detailed in the scoping meeting referenced
above was a 45ft long x 6ft wide structure. The application identifies an increased floating dock of 60ft long x
8ft wide. There is concern that the enlarge floating dock is not representative of a floating, structure for a
creek of this size, which increases the dredge footprint/impact an additiona170ft upstream, and may create
hardship for any NCDOT bridge maintenance that may occur in the future. It is recommended that if the
proposed floating dock is authorized, it be reduced to the initial 45ft long x 6ft:wide and be modified or its
location adjusted if needed to avoid both direct impact to the oyster resource and the potential to rest in
insufficient PNA waters. There is additional concern that the landward side of the floating dock could be
used as dockage in PNA waters insufficient for vessel use and impact adjacent coastal wetlands. It is
recommended that the landward side of the floating dock be rendered un-useable as dockage. In addition,
any request to dredge outside the authorized alignment would be considered new dredging within PNA,
and would be objected to due to adverse impacts associated with new dredging in PNA.
Due to the historic dredge footprint and SNA designation, it is recommended that the oyster resource within
the naturalized dredge footprint be relocated to the waterward-edge of the marsh Immediately adjacent to
Its pre -dredge location, but outside the naturalized slope of the dredge footprint. The shell should be
dispersed at the new location in similar depth and fashion as practical to provide similar habitat function.
Relocation of oyster resource should be coordinated with NC DMF or this office.
Finally, a moratorium on In -water work, to include dredging, from 1 April to 30 September is
recommended to reduce the negative effects on critical fish life history activities, to Include spawning
migrations and nursery functions.

Hey Liz,
Do you have a standard condition for the consent to cross requirement that you can send me? I'm not sure if I've had
that one yet. And one for avoiding the shellfish resources- this is the condition we used for another project in NHC, does
this work:
A ten -foot dredge offset from all wetlands, oyster aggregations, shell bottom, and emergent salt marsh vegetation shall
be instituted as described and shown in the revised plans dated 5/18/17.
I have the manatee condition, I think I can figure out the others, but if you can send me the language you want for the

Attached please find NMFS response the Corps Public Notice for the proposed project in waters adjacent to Topsail
Creek, in Hampstead, Pender County. Their concerns are specifically related to the potential negative impacts to the
shellfish and fishery resources within the proposed dredge footprint and adjacent waters. Their recommendations are
for BMPs to be required for all dock construction activity onsite, and the prohibition of dredging within the dredge
footprint as proposed. NMFS recommends a revised dredge footprint to include a 10-foot offset from wetlands, oyster
aggregations, and shell bottom. The Corps shares these concerns and encourages further efforts to avoid and minimize
impacts to these resources.
Please let me know if/when you have coordinated with the applicant and if they intend to revise the dredge footprint as
recommended.

Attention: Liz Hair 4t ta, wur mM C6(3. Opt
Dear Colonel Landers:
F/SER47:KR/pw
NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) reviewed the public notice for Action ID
No. SAW-2016-00607, dated February 14, 2017. The applicants, Mark and Roxann Knierim,
request authorization to construct a new pier and docking facility and perform dredging for an
access channel within waters adjacent to Topsail Creek in Hampstead, Pender County. The
Wilmington District's initial determination is the proposed pier and dock construction and
dredging may affect essential fish habitat (EFII) or associated fisheries managed by South
Atlantic Fishery Management Council (SAFMC), the Mid -Atlantic Fishery Management
Council, or NMFS. As the nation's federal trustee for the conservation and management of
marine, estuarine, and diadromous fishery resources, the NMFS provides the following
comments and recommendations pursuant to the authorities of the Fish and Wildlife
Coordination Act and the Magnuson -Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson -Stevens Act).
Description of the Proposed Project
The applicants propose to construct a pier (five feet by 195 feet), an L-shaped covered gazebo
(16 feet by 22 feet), and a floating dock (eight feet by 60 feet) with four boat slips. The
applicants also propose dredging for dock installation and an access channel measuring 300 feet
in length and 25 feet in width. The estimated volume of dredging is 1,100 cubic yards from
7,500 square feet of shallow bottom to establish a controlling depth of -5.0 feet at mean low
water. The applicants propose to excavate sediment via a bucket -to -barge (clamshell) operation
and to transport the dredged material to the New Hanover Conservancy Disposal Island, an
approved disposal location at the intersection of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and Rich's
Inlet. Water depths within the footprint of the project area average -1.0 feet mean low water. As
presented with the application materials, the project includes a ten -foot dredge offset from
coastal wetlands including all emergent salt marsh vegetation.
Consultation History
The NMFS participated in a scoping meeting with the applicants on March 17, 2016. The NMFS
participated in a site visit immediately after the seeping meeting. The NMFS also participated in
a site visit on March 10, 2017, to assess shellfish and oyster reefs within the project area. After
.iECiEIVEFD sl ,. y.
DOm wil-I�it1�IGTON. NC �� eA

r
each site visit, the NMFS communicated concerns with the Wilmington District, the North
Carolina Division of Coastal Management, and the applicants regarding the abundance of
shellfish resources and oyster habitat.
Impacts to Essential Fish Habitat
The primary concern of the NMFS regarding the project is with the dredging of shallow bottom
habitat that includes shell bottom and shellfish resources. Based on the information provided in
the application and observations from the site visits, the NMFS believes the applicant has
underestimated impacts to oysters and shell material. The site supports several distinct intertidal
and subtidal oyster reefs. Healthy live oysters (spat and juveniles) were also observed on shell
material throughout the project area. Dredging within the project area would disturb this habitat.
The project area designated for walkways over coastal wetlands and construction of the docking
facility is within a state -designated Primary Nursery Area. The project area designated for the
docking facility and dredging an access channel is within a state -designated Permanent
Secondary Nursery Area. The project area designated for the docking facility would affect 7,500
square feet of intertidal and sub -tidal shallow bottom habitat. The SAFMC identifies shallow
intertidal and sub -tidal bottom in estuarine waters as EFH for brown shrimp, pink shrimp, and
white shrimp and for estuarine species within the snapper/grouper complex (e.g., gray snapper
and gag). The SAFMC also identifies Primary and Secondary Nursery Areas as Habitat Areas of
Particular Concern (HAPCs) for shrimp, gag, and gray snapper. HAPCs are a subset of EFH that
are rare, particularly susceptible to human -induced degradation, especially important
ecologically, or located in an environmentally stressed area. The SAFMC identifies these areas
as EFH because fish and shrimp concentrate in these habitats for feeding and refuge and
experience high growth and survival rates when located in these habitats, The SAFMC provides
detailed information on the EFH requirements of federally managed species in amendments to
the fishery management plans and in Fishery Ecosystem Plan of the South Atlantic Region.
With healthy salt inarsh habitat and an abundance of oysters, the project area clearly functions as
nursery habitat for federally managed species as well as other species of commercial or
recreational importance including red drum, Atlantic croaker, spot, Atlantic menhaden, bay
anchovy, striped mullet, weakfish, and blue crab. A number of these species serve as prey for
fish that are managed by the SAFMC (e.g., king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, and cobia) or for
highly migratory fish managed by the NMFS (e.g., billfishes and sharks).
EFH Conservation Recommendations
Section 305(b)(4)(A) of the Magnuson -Stevens Act requires NMFS to provide EFH
Conservation Recommendations for any federal action or permit which may result in adverse
impacts to EFH. Therefore, NMFS recommends the following to ensure the conservation of
EFH and associated fishery resources:
• The permit should require Best Management Practices (BMPs) throughout all phases of
construction for the pier, gazebo, and docking facilities. Specific BMPs include (1)
ensuring all efforts are made to avoid toxicant input into surface waters and wetlands, (2)
deploying a Sediment Control Fence (SCF), silt curtains, or other sedimentation and
turbidity control barriers to minimize sediment input into waters and wetlands adjacent to

construction areas, and (3) field marking oyster reef locations to keep construction
equipment and activities from encroaching into oyster reef habitat.
The permit should expressly prohibit dredging at the location unless the dredge template
is revised to reflect the minimum size/area needed to achieve the project purpose and the
dredge template includes a ten -foot dredge offset, based on the projected equilibrated side
slopes, from coastal wetlands including all emergent salt marsh vegetation, oyster
aggregations, and shell bottom.
Section 305(b)(4)(B) of the Magnuson -Stevens Act and implementing regulation at 50 CFR
Section 600.920(k) require the Wilmington District to provide a written response to this letter
within 30 days of its receipt. If it is not possible to provide a substantive response within 30
days, in accordance with the "findings" with the Wilmington District, an interim response should
be provided to the NMFS. A detailed response then must be provided prior to final approval of
the action. The detailed response must include a description of measures proposed by the
Wilmington District to avoid, mitigate, or offset the adverse impacts of the activity. If the
response is inconsistent with the EFH conservation recommendations, the Wilmington District
must provide a substantive discussion justifying the reasons for not following the
recommendations.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide these comments. Please direct related questions or
comments to the attention of Dr. ICen Riley at our Beaufort Field Office, 101 Pivers Island Road,
Beaufort, North Carolina 28516-9722, or at [phone].

Hello!
We will likely review the following project as a GP 291:
Corps Action ID: SAW-2016-00607
County: Pender
Project name: Knierim/172 Olde Point/ Old Topsail Creek
Our GIS data layer shows Old Topsail Creek as PNA. I noticed that the application and bioreport state that the channel is
not PNA, but surrounding waters are? Is this correct? Just checking...
I'll send this notice out next week.

Heather,
As discussed, we planned to have 4 slips along the channel side of the floating dock. We have several small
boats (13') that we would like to be able to dock in addition to a.larger vessel. We understand that DCM does
not want mooring of vessels on the backside of the floating dock. Please give me a call if you have any
additional questions or concerns. Thanks again and talk to you soon.

Dear Mr. Knierim:
On December 13, 2016, the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources
received a copy of the CAMA Ma or Permit Application for the subject project. Staff review of the plans and
specifications on December 20, %16 has determined that the development activities proposed at this time will not
pose a threat to surface water quality from stormwater runoff. The Director has determined that projects that are
reviewed and approved by the Division as not posing a water quality threat from stormwater runoff should not be
subject to the stormwater management permitting requirements of 15A NCAC 2H.1000, the stormwater rules. By
copy of this letter, we are informing you that this project will not require a stormwater management permit.
If the subject project disturbs one acre or more and has a point source discharge of stormwater runoff, then it is also
subject to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater discharge requirements. You
are required to have an NPDES permit for stormwater discharge from projects meeting these criteria. All temporary
built -upon area associated with the construction of the project must be removed within 30 days of completion of the
project, or when it is no longer needed, whichever occurs first.
If you have any questions or need additional information concerning this matter please contact Georgette Scott at

RE: Major Permit Application Additional Information Request
Mark and Roxanne Knierim
Olde Point Road
Hampstead, Pender County
Dear Ms. Coats,
I am writing to follow-up on the Division of Coastal Management's request to locate potential
shellfish resources within and adjacent to the Knierim Project Area as specified within the Major
Permit Application submittals. Please accept this information in response to your email (January
4, 2017) requiring that potential shellfish resources be located in the area of the proposed
docking facility and existing channel.
Attached are photos taken on January 8, 2017 during a normal low water stage. The shell feature
locations are shown on the attached figure and labeled Features "A" & `B". Feature "A" appears
to contain some shell material located partially beneath the proposed location of the fixed gazebo
platform and access pier. A second area labeled Feature `B" is evident downstream from the
proposed docking facility and within the location of the existing channel to be excavated. Area
"B" appears to consist of dead scattered shells and muddy sand.
I hope this satisfies your request and that processing of our permit application will continue
without delay. We look forward to your response and an update on the timeframe for permit
decision. Thank you in advance for your time and attention to this matter.

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: pC M_ M H p CITY
The project site is located at 172 Olde Point Road, adjacent to Old Topsail Creek (also known as "Nixon
Creek"), adjacent to the AIW W, in Hampstead, Pender County. To find the project site, travel north (from
Wilmington) on US Highway 17 to Country Club Road, in Hampstead. Turn right onto Country Club road
and travel approximately 1.0 miles before bearing right on Olde Point Road. Continue traveling on Olde
Point Road until you come to a bridge/revetment spanning Topsail Creek. The project side is located along
the western shoreline of Old Topsail Creek, just before the bridge.
The subject property is undeveloped (residential) and has approximately 440 linear feet of shoreline
bordering Old Topsail Creek. Elevations at the property range from 2' to 8' above the normal high water
(NHW) line. The size of the tract is approximately 29,519 sq. ft., or 0.67 acres. Mature oaks, lawn grasses
and scrub vegetation make up the majority of high ground flora. Smooth Marsh Cordgrass (Spartina
alternii fora) and Black Needlerush (Juncos romarianus) account for the majority of adjacent wetland
vegetation. Currently, the shoreline is natural with no man-made stabilization.
Old Topsail Creek (or Nixon Creek) is a channelized waterbody which extends from the AIW W, north to
the Olde Point golf course. The primary run of the creek has been historically dredged (under CAMA
Major 181-04), with permit authorization(s) dating back to the 1960's. The main channel is approximately
9,000 linear feet and runs along the eastern side of Old Topsail Creek. The width of the channel varies,
depending on location, but the average width is approximately 100'. Access to the creek is provide by two
entrance channels located along the north eastern side of the creek, both running perpendicular to the main
channel. The northern finger of the creek traverses Olde Point Road, and according to documentation on
file, it appears the waterbody downstream of the applicant's property was previously dredged during
construction of the bridge. The NC Division of Marine Fisheries classifies the adjacent wetlands, and other
open water areas within Olde Topsail Creek as Primary Nursery Area (PNA); however, the main run of the
creek is not designated as a PNA.
The area surrounding the creek is mostly developed. Eagle's Watch Subdivision borders the creek to the
west and Olde Point Subdivision borders the creek to the east. Olde Point gold course borders the site to
the north and the AIW W borders the creek to the south. The creek width in the vicinity of the project site
is approximately 30'-70' in width.
The Pender County Land Use Plan classifies the adjacent waters as Conservation. The waters of the AIW W
and Olde Topsail Creek are classified SA by the Division of Water Resources. The waters immediately
adjacent to the property ARE designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the N.C. Division of Marine
Fisheries; however, the "channel" portion of the creek is not. Additionally, the waters are CLOSED to the
harvest of shellfish.
PROPOSED PROJECT:
The applicant proposes to construct an access pier, covered gazebo and floating dock adjacent to the subject
property. In addition, the applicant is proposing to perform maintenance dredging within the adjacent
channel. As designed, the proposed access pier (5' wide) would originate along the property's southern
shoreline and span a section of wetlands measuring approximately 195'. The pier would terminate just
beyond the outer edge of marsh bordering the creek, and from there the applicant would construct a 16' x
22' covered gazebo. The "L -head" shaped gazebo would span toward the west (over open water) and would
be positioned so that it rests just inside of the Y4 width waterbody limitation. In the area of the proposed pier
and gazebo, the width of the waterbody measures approximately 70'.

L'„
Mark and Roxann Knierim
Page 3
An 8' x 60' section of floating dock would run parallel to the shoreline and would extend in an easterly
direction, originating along the eastern side of the fixed covered gazebo. The proposed floating dock would
be located approximately 10' from the NC DOT right-of-way associated with Olde Point Road, and just
inside of the'/4 width of waterbody limitation. In total, approximately three (3) slips would be created as a
result of the proposed development. As indicated by the attached work plan drawings, water depths
immediately adjacent to the proposed docking facility range from -2.0' to -2.9', relative to Normal Low
Water (NLW).
In addition to the proposed docking facility, the applicant is requesting authorization to perform
maintenance dredging within the adjacent channel. According to historic records, a 25' wide channel was
dredged between the Olde Point bridge and the main run of Nixon Creek back in the early 1970's. Our
records indicate that Floyd Hufham, received a permit to dredge this area under Department of Conservation
and Development Permit No. 122, amended in 1972. A copy of the permit and site plan is included in this
application package.
The applicant's proposal would result in the dredging of shallow bottom habitat area adjacent to the subject
property. Current water depths within the previously authorized dredge footprint range from 0.0' to -5.0',
relative to normal low water. The applicant is proposing to re-establish the 25' wide channel and dredge to
a depth of -5.0', NLW. In total, a 25' x 300' x -5.0' channel would be dredged to the connecting waters of
Nixon Creek, which average approximately -6.0 to -7.3' @ NLW. As designed, dredging would occur at a
distance of approximately 10' from any wetlands.
Spoil material generated from the proposed project would be transported by barge, and deposited on the
New Hanover Conservancy Disposal Island, located along the AIW W at the intersection of the AIW W and
Rich's Inlet (COE DA 228). High ground disturbance on the island would consist of the deposition of
approximately 850 cubic yards of material within a footprint of approximately 40,000 sq. ft., most of which
is outside of the COE easement.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The proposed pier, gazebo and floating dock would incorporate approximately 832 sq. ft. of Estuarine
Waters and Pubic Trust Area. The proposed dredging would disturb approximately 7,500 sq. ft. of
previously dredged shallow bottom habitat, and spoil deposition would fill approximately 40, 000 sq. ft. of
upland area. As designed, no portion of the proposed pier, gazebo of gazebo would encroach into the Olde
Point Road right-of-way, beyond the edge of the channel, nor beyond the'/4 width of waterbody limitation.
Minor increases in turbidity should be expected during construction.

Proiect Narrative
The project site is Lot 141 Olde Point Road in the Olde Point subdivision loch!.in Hampstead :ITY
Pender County. Lot 141 is a residential building lot approximately 0.68 acres in size with
approximately 440 linear feet of shoreline frontage along Nixon Creek. The parcel is bound by a
vacant tract of land to the west, #170 Olde Point Road to the north, Olde Point Road to the east
and Nixon Creek to the south. The applicant is proposing to construct a private residential 4-slip
docking facility and to conduct maintenance excavation within a previously authorized channel
of Nixon Creek.
There is an extensive permit history for the development of the Olde Point subdivision including
the development of the subdivision, dredging of Nixon Creek and the construction of the
NCDOT causeway and bridge dating to the 1970's and 1980's. Major Development of Nixon
Creek and the surrounding waterfront property occurred in 1971 when permits were issued to
dredge Nixon Creek from the AIW W to Olde Point Road in order to consistent and adequate
water depths for boat traffic and safe harbor. Authorized final project depths for the channel
were -5.0 feet a MLW and the channel width was 40 feet. The original project was completed
with a hydraulic dredge and pipeline. Dredge spoil material was pumped to the interior portions
of the community and used to elevate future building parcels. Since the initial dredging project
the community has undertaken several maintenance dredging events to address shoaling within
the channel. This work includes excavation work performed by NCDOT adjacent to the project
site in 2003 in association with ongoing bridge maintenance. A multi -agency scoping meeting
was held in the Wilmington Regional Office on March 18, 2016 to discuss resource agency
concerns and permit history.
The proposed project consists of the construction a private residential 4-slip docking facility and
maintenance excavation of a previously authorized channel within Nixon Creek. The private
residential docking facility would consist of an access pier with gazebo and floating docking to
provide water access. The maintenance excavation within the channel would re-establish the
previously permitted depths. As proposed, the channel would connect the existing depths
adjacent to the bridge located upstream of the project site to the existing downstream depths in
Olde Point channel. As proposed, the width of the channel has been reduced by 15 feet to avoid
and minimize impacts to the resource and to provide an adequate buffer from the adjacent
wetlands. The maintenance excavation would be conducted mechanically with a barge mounted
excavator. Spoil material would be transported by barge and disposed of at a spoil island
privately owned by the Northeast New Hanover Conservancy (see attached letter granting
permission). No development of the high ground of the property is proposed at this time. The
applicant has been made aware of the necessity to obtain all permits prior to initiation of land
disturbance of the high ground including, but not limited, to DWR Stormwater authorization and
CAMA minor development authorization.

The Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges that on December 9, 2016, we received
your completed application requesting State approval for the development of property located at 172 Olde
Point Road, adjacent to Old Topsail Creek, in Hampstead, Pender County. The projected deadline for
making a decision on your permit application is February 22, 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 December 9, 2016, 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

PROJECT ADDRESS— 172 Olde Point Road, Hampstead, NC 28443
Dear Mr. Knierim:
The Division of Coastal Management's Wilmington Regional office received a CAMA Major Permit application from you
September 9, 2016, requesting approval for development activities at 172 Olde Point road, Hampstead, NC. In reviewing
your application, we have discovered that additional information is needed to complete the review process. Accordingly,
I am requesting that you submit the following additional information to this office:
1) Please provide either the signed riparian owner notification statements, or the signed certified mail
receipts for/from Mr. Piver.
2) On the site plan drawing, please label the slips (by number).
3) On the site plan drawing, please indicate water depths relative to normal or mean low water. As shown,
the water depth measurements show as "+" local mean low water (Imlw), not "-" Imlw.
4) According to the site plan, the floating dock appears to extend beyond X of the width of the waterbody, as
measured from the edge or marsh on one side to the edge of marsh opposite. Please revised the pier/dock
layout so that no portion of the proposed facility extends beyond ''/. of the width of the waterbody, as
defined above.
You may send the requested information to me direct at the below address.
In accordance with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources regulations, we note that the partial
application, as submitted on September 9, 2016; is rncomplete for processing. Upon resubmission of a complete
application, a local decision will be made in 150 days, provided this period is not extended as provided by law. Please
contact me at 910-796-7221 if you have any questions.

Subject: Knierim Application - Olde Point
Jason,
Hope all is well. I wanted to touch base concerning the Knierim Application and specifically address
the issues that we are faced by regarding the dock layout due to the interpretation of the 1/4 width
rule. An interagency scoping meeting was held in March to discuss project details and the
application was submitted based on comments received at the meeting. I was subsequently informed
upon submission of the application, that the proposed docking facility appears to exceed the '/4 width
limitation and that the waterbody adjacent to the shoreline, but not within the dredge footprint, is
designated as Primary Nursery Area. The Primary Nursery Area designation required that the slips
on the landward side of the floating dock be eliminated and the floating docks be
reconfigured. However, the methodology used in the measurement of the quarter width of the
waterbody seems to be a bit more challenging.
Firstly, thank you for sending over the drawings depicting the quarter width. However, these drawings
greatly alter where the floating dock can be positioned and seem to allow for varying points along the
shoreline from which to make the measurements. An important point here is whether or not the
creeks on both sides of the existing channel are taken into consideration for determining overall width
measurements. Drawing 0085 does not depict the creek on the eastern side of the channel but
shows width measurements in the location of the creek. Drawing 0089 terminates the quarter width
line in the embayment and doesn't account for the curve in the shoreline. Given that the embayment,
which seems to be the limiting factor, is located entirely within the riparian area of the client's
property, we would like to propose a measurement line from which to determine the quarter width by
extending a line from edge of marsh grass to edge of marsh grass. This line would be extended on
both sides of the creek and would parallel the dredge footprint along the edge of grass. Thereby,
allowing for a more simplified and linear approach to determining the quarter width. This would align
the quarter width with the footprint of the dredge channel. The proposed methodology will allow for a
buffer from the edge of wetlands, prevent the floating docks from impacting the shallow bottom
habitat, and provide water depths sufficient to support boat slips on the waterward side of the floating
dock without extending into the channel portion of the waterbody. I believe that this method of
determining the quarter width of the water body is more consistent in keeping with the spirit, purpose,
and intent of the rules and would be more consistent with the rules that govern this type of
development. I am happy to provide you with any additional information you may need. Thank you in
advance for your time and consideration of this request.

Requested
Hey Adam,
Sorry to report that some information has been brought up and I need to discuss this project with you. Can you give me
a call at your earliest convenience.
In short, I will need confirmation that the COE issued a dredging permit for the subject area back in the 1970's as you
refer to in the application package.
In addition, and based on NCDMF's comments at the pre -application meeting, we will need confirmation that the area
was authorized in 2003.
Another point of concern is the lack of water depth information shown on the site plan, particularly in the area behind
the proposed floating dock where I presume two (2) of the four (4) slips are proposed. Docking here may be problematic
as this area is designated as a primary nursery area (PNA). According to NCDMF's Rules, the PNAs of Topsail Creek run to
the edge of the channel as defined by NCDMF. The main channel; however, is recognized as a permanent secondary
nursery.
At any rate, we need to get these issues resolved prior to moving forward. These comments would be an addition to the
additional information request sent earlier today.
Call me when you have a moment to discuss.
Thank you,
Jason
