The site is served by several water fountains, which are sourced by the waterline on NC 133. The waterline connections
were made with the construction of the original park in the 1990s.
p. Describe existing stone water management or treatment systems.
The existing park is permitted under SW8 940517, which includes a wet detention basin that handles the runoff from the
existing parking lot.
5. Activities and Impacts
a. Will the project be for commercial, public, or private use? ❑Commercial EPublidGovernment
❑Private/Community
b. Give a brief description of purpose, use, and daily operations of the project when complete.
The project will be broken into phases, and this application is for the first phase. Phase I will take place on the existing park
property and the property adjacent to and north of the existing park property. Phase II of the project will occur adjacent to
and north of Phase I. New facilities planned for Phase I will include an approx. 3,400' walking trail heading northward along
the marsh boundary of the Brunswick River, which will consist of approx. 740' of/." minus limestone trail, approx. 1,229 of
improved natural surface trail, and approx. 1,400' of wooden pedestrian walkways where necessary. Additionally, Phase I
will also include an observation deck located near the recently constructed educational pavilion, as well as a 125' long fishing
pier located near the existing parking lot. The trails will start near the existing parking lot and continue to the Phase I / Phase
II boundary, at which point the trail will return parallel to NC 133 and loop back around to its starting point. Phase II of the
project (to be designed and permitted at a later date) will include additional walking trails that will connect to the Phase I trails
at the Phase I / Phase II boundary, which will lead northward to a future kayak/canoe launch facility with limited parking at
the northern edge of the property. Future plans for the park also include a restaurant building, to be located adjacent to the
existing park parking lot, which will also include several shops.
Since the Belvilie Elementary School will be located directly across the street from the park, the students of the school will be
able utilize the park for educational purposes. The walking trails will include educational signs identifying the flora and
indigenous fish species and their relevance to the habitat. The Town envisions live and interactive classes for the children
on science, botany, and environment and the importance of tidal marshlands on the habitat.
The park will be open to the public during daylight hours for everyone to utilize the proposed trail system, observation deck, and
fishing pier, as well as the existing infrastructure at the park (playgrounds, etc.).
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.
The trails will involve minimal disturbance, where it is expected that the contractor will choose to utilize small grading
equipment (such as a Bobcat) in order to qompact the natural surface ps appropriate. The proposed wooden pedestrian
walkways, observation deck, and fishing pier (design by KCI Associates) will be supported by piles to be driven by a pile
driver capable of meeting the depths required by the structural engineering design. It is expected that the piles for the
observation deck and fishing pier will need to be driven by the use of a barge.

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
To find the project site, travel west on US Hwy 74/76 out of Wilmington to NC Highway
133 South towards Southport. Travel approximately one mile and the project area will be
on the left. The project site is located between vacant land to the north owned by
NCDOT, the existing Belville Park to the south, the Brunswick River to the east, and is
bordered by NC Highway 133 to the west. The address for the site is 570-580 River Road
(NC Highway 133).
Belville Park was constructed in the 1990s and consists of a boat ramp and parking area,
restroom facilities, a playground and observation platform. The overall site is
approximately 20.5 acres in area and the average elevation is approximately 15' above
normal high water (NHW). The park was constructed under State Permit 95-94, issued on
7/2/94. The project area is currently undeveloped and heavily wooded with the exception
of an educational pavilion that was authorized under CAMA Minor Permit BE 14-01,
issued to the Town on 11/25/14. Upland vegetation consists of mixed pine (Pious spp.)
and hardwood species: sweet gum (Liquidambar styracii lua), oak (Quercus spp.),
southern magnolia (Magnolia grandii lora), sweetbay (Magnolia virginiana), as well as
wax myrtle (Morella cerifera). The parcel has 4,813 linear feet of natural shoreline.
Along much of the shoreline, the highground portion of the property quickly transitions
to wetlands due to a distinct change in elevation. Nearly the entire length of the shoreline
is bordered with a significant marsh fringe due to its undulating nature of the shoreline
creating numerous vegetated marsh coves. Wetland vegetation consists primarily of
Smooth Cord Grass (Spartina alternii fora) and Cattails (Typha spp.) along with pockets
of Common Reed (Phragmites australis). Water depths along the bank remain relatively
shallow. The distance across the Brunswick River from marsh to marsh measures
approximately 1,500'.
The waters of the Brunswick River are classified as SC by the NC Division of Water
Quality. They are designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the NC Division of
Marine Fisheries, and are not open to the harvesting of shellfish.
PROPOSED PROJECT:
The applicant is seeking to construct Phase I of the Brunswick Riverwalk at Belville
project. As proposed, Phase I would consist of construction of approximately 3,400' of
walking trails and boardwalks, and two piers with observation/fishing platforms. Phase H
would extend the walkways and boardwalks north and would include a future .
kayak/canoe launch- to be designed and permitted at a later date. A restaurant, shops,
equipment storage shed & water and sewer lines to the educational pavilion are also
planned and to be designed and permitted at a future date.
Town of Belville- Brunswick Riverwalk at Belville
Page Three
Phase I would consist of an approximate 740 linear foot gravel trail, which would
measure 8' in width, leading from the existing parking area and park entrance to the
existing educational pavilion. Geotextile fabric would be installed and a 4" layer of V
minus limestone would be used. From there, the path would transition to a 136' long by
6' wide elevated wooden boardwalk spanning a §404 wetland area. This section would be
located outside of the 75' Estuarine Shoreline Area of Environmental Concern (AEC), as
measured from Mean High Water (MHW). Upon reaching highground, the boardwalk
would transition to a 653 linear foot span of walking trail (approximate length), to
measure 8' in width, as proposed. The trail would be graded in this area, but left as the
existing natural surface. The majority of this section of trail would also be located outside
of the Estuarine Shoreline AEC. The trail system would then transition again to another
elevated, wooden boardwalk, to measure 814' long by 8' in width. This section would be
predominantly located waterward of MHW, and would span a large expanse of coastal
wetland marsh. The boardwalk would extend to the northeast corner of the project site, to
a narrow strip of highground bound by NC Highway 133. The boardwalk would then turn
and run parallel to NC Highway 133. The boardwalk would transition to 6' in width for a
distance of 672' along the roadway. It would span approximately 240 linear feet of §404
wetlands and would partially span of a short section of coastal wetlands measuring a
length of approximately 35 linear feet and approximately 3' in width. The walkway
system would then transition to a final stretch of graded natural surface walkway, which
would measure approximately 582 feet in length by 8' in width. A temporary gravel
construction entrance would also be installed during the project and would be removed
and seeded/stabilized at the end of construction. This area is located outside of the
Estuarine Shoreline AEC. The applicant has stated that all sections of boardwalk over
wetlands would be elevated a minimum of 3' above the wetland substrate. No wetland fill
is proposed for any portion of the project. A 5' buffer on each side of highground
walkways/trails would also be temporarily impacted during construction.
Two piers are also proposed within Phase I of the project. The first pier would be located
at the southwest.comer of the project area, near the existing parking lot. The pier would
extend from highground and would measure approximately 197' in length by 10' in
width and would terminate at a 48' in length by 10' in width fixed, elevated T-head, to be
utilized as a fishing pier. The second pier would originate at the educational pavilion.
The pier access would measure 90' in length by 10' in width and would also terminate in
a fixed, elevated T-head measuring 48' in length by 10' in width. Water depths at the two
piers at Mean Low Water (MLW) measure -1.1' and +1.2', respectively. Neither structure
would provide for any docking space, but would be used for fishing and observational
purposes only. The two piers would extend approximately 130' and 20' into the
waterbody, respectively. The width of the waterbody measures approximately 1500'
across.

The 8' wide elevated, wooden boardwalk would result in the shading of approximately
5,530 square feet of mixed coastal and §404 wetlands. The two 6' wide boardwalks
would result in the shading of an additional approximate 1,860 square feet of §404
wetlands. The gravel walkway would fill approximately 6,015 square feet of highground.
The natural surface walking trail would result in the additional disturbance of
approximately 9,631 square feet of high ground. The trail construction would also result
in the temporary disturbance of and an additional 66,682 square feet of area.
The piers and platforms would result in the incorporation of approximately 2,210 square
feet of Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area.

Narrative
I. Introduction
The proposed project, to be known as the Brunswick Riverwalk at Belville, will be located in the
Town of Belville in Brunswick County, North Carolina. Specifically, the project site is located on NC
133, south of US 17, across from the Belville Elementary School, and is directly adjacent to the
Brunswick River. The existing site contains a parking lot and playground area, along with an
observation deck on the southern side of the property. The existing park is the largest parcel of
publicly accessible waterfront on the western side of the Brunswick River / Cape Fear River from
Navassa to the ocean in Southport, a distance of approximately 25 miles. In contrast, the City Of
Wilmington enjoys significant public access to the Cape Fear River on its eastern side. The proposed
project will allow citizens of the area to enjoy public access to a larger portion of the river.
Furthermore, the development of the project will ensure that the natural beauty of the property is
kept for the foreseeable future, as opposed to being developed into a larger commercial
development.
II. Protect Description
The project will be broken into phases. Phase I will take place on the existing park property and the
property adjacent to and north of the existing park property. Phase II of the project will occur
adjacent to and north of Phase I. New facilities planned for Phase I will include an approx. 3,400'
walking trail heading northward along the marsh boundary of the Brunswick River, which will consist
of approx. 740' of minus limestone trail, approx. 1,220' of improved natural surface trail, and
approx. 1,400'of wooden pedestrian walkways where necessary. Additionally, Phase I will also
include an observation deck located near the recently constructed educational pavilion, as well as a
125' long fishing pier located near the existing parking lot. The trails will start near the existing
parking lot and continue to the Phase I / Phase 11 boundary, at which point the trail will return
parallel to NC 133 and loop back around to its starting point. Phase 11 of the project (to be designed
and permitted at a later date) will include additional walking trails that will connect to the Phase I
trails at the Phase I / Phase II boundary, which will lead northward to a future kayak/canoe launch
facility with limited parking at the In edge of the property. Future plans for the park also
include a restaurant building, to be located adjacent to the existing park parking lot, which will also
include several shops. The future restaurant building will be permitted at a later date, at which
point the existing wet detention basin will need to be modified.
Since the Belville Elementary School will be located directly across the street from the park, the
students of the school will be able utilize the park for educational purposes. The walking trails will
include educational signs identifying the flora and indigenous fish species and their relevance to the
habitat. The Town envisions live and interactive classes for the children on science, botany, and
environment and the importance of tidal marshlands on the habitat. RECEIVED
The Town envisions this facility as serving a multitude of purposes far beyond that of the typical AUG ' "K
municipal park. Furthermore, they see this as being beneficial to the entire region. It will be a
combination public sector / private sector venture.
Since the project is being funded by PARTF grant funds, the project will meet the PARTF requirement
of meeting ADA compliance. The trail locations have been designed to follow the contour lines as
much as possible in order to reduce slopes, and the structures have been designed to meet ADA
Brunswick Riverwalk At Belville Phase I RECEIVE D
Stormwater Narrative RECEIVED of AA WII AAINGTN, NC
AUG 14 20b JUL 2 7 2015
guidelines such as slopes, handrails, railing height, etc. The proposed fishing pier will include 'drop -
down' areas to allow for ADA accessible fishing, as described in the ADA guidelines.
Phase I of the project proposes to disturb approx.1.89 acres. The disturbance includes the
construction of the proposed walking trails and associated wooden pedestrian walkways, as well as
construction of the observation deck and 125' fishing pier. The 8' wide walking trails will require
approximately 3' of clearing on each side of the trail, which produces a 14' wide clearing path.
The trails will involve minimal disturbance, where it is expected that the contractor will choose to
utilize small grading equipment (such as a Bobcat) in order to compact the natural surface as
appropriate. The proposed wooden pedestrian walkways, observation deck, and fishing pier (design
by KCI Associates) will be supported by piles to be driven by a pile driver capable of meeting the
depths required by the structural engineering design. It is expected that the piles for the
observation deck and fishing pier will need to be driven by the use of a barge. The contractor will
have the option of installing the piles solely with an impact hammer, or a vibratory hammer with the
exception of the last 12", where the remaining 12" will be driven with an impact hammer in order to
verify capacity. The contractor will also have the option to install concrete sonotubes at areas
outside of the 404 wetlands and the 30' CAMA AEC.
The proposed observation deck, shown on sheet C.4.6 of the plans, will be approx. 90' long from its
tie-in location at existing grade to the end of the platform. The structure will connect to the existing
6' wide pavilion ramp, and will continue as 6' wide for approx. 40', at which point it will transition to
10' wide for the remainder of the structure. At low tide (MLW), the water depth will be 1.2'. At
high tide (MHW), the water depth will be -3.1'.
The proposed fishing pier, shown on sheet C.4.7 of the plans, will be approx. 210' long from its tie-in
location at existing grade to the end of the platform. The structure will be 10' wide. At low tide
(MLW), the water depth will be -1.1'. At high tide (MHW), the water depth will be -5.4'.
The overall shaded impact area of coastal wetlands/march (CW) created by the proposed structures
is 5,530 s.f.
The future water and sewer service lines labeled on C.3.1, as well as the future grinder pump station
labeled on C.4.6, are shown for reference only, and will be permitted at a later date. They have
been shown to indicate future plans for the existing pavilion to acquire water and sewer service.
The same service lines will connect to the future equipment storage facility that is also labeled on
C.3.1. The Town plans to utilize the future equipment storage facility to store equipment for
maintenance of the park; the details of the building are still being worked out by the Town.

Recommendations for State Permit- Town of Belville- Brunswick Riverwalk at Belville 7/29/15
It is the opinion of this office that the proposed project is consistent with the Use Standards for Public
Trust Areas, Estuarine Waters and Estuarine Shorelines as described in NCAC 07H .0206 through 07H
.0209. While the 814' long boardwalk over coastal wetlands is proposed at 8' in width, and the piers are
proposed at 10' in width, this project aims to provide for improved public access and to be ADA
accessible. Dimensions wider than 6' can be permitted as described in 15A NCAC 07H .0208(bx6)(A),
which states, "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". Additionally, a short section of the wooden, elevated
boardwalk is located within the 30' Estuarine Shoreline buffer, but both water dependent structures (i.e. a
pier) and boardwalks are excepted within the 30' buffer as described in 15A NCAC 07H .0209(d)(10)(D),
which limits development in the 30' buffer except for, "elevated, slatted, wooden boardwalks exclusively
for pedestrian use and six feet in width or less. The boardwalk may be greater than six feet in width if it is
to serve a public use or need". As such, standard conditions for docks and piers and boardwalks should be
applied to any permit issued.

Subject: Consistency Determination, Major Permit Application, Town of
Belville - Riverwalk — Brunswick County
Date: August 24, 2015
This project rs consistentwith the 2007 Brunswick County Landi Use Plan Update,.,,
The applicant proposes to construct a boardwalk/walking trail system with two
piers/platforms at an existing public park. The project is located at 570-580 River Road
in Belville, Brunswick County.
Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC's) impacted by the proposal are CW, ES, EW and
PT.
Waters at the project site are classified as SC 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 Brunswick County Land Use Plan
and offer the following comments.
The general area of the project is classified as Conservation.
In general, Brunswick County and Belville allows development in Conservation
classified AECs which is consistent with the State's minimum use standards. The
Brunswick County Land Use Plan contains some policies, which exceed the State's
minimum use standards. However, none of these standards appear to be applicable to this
proposal.
This project is consistent and not in conflict with the 2007 Brunswick County Land Use
Plan.

Brunswick Riverwalk at Belville
Low Density Project

Dear Ms. Williams
Donald van der Vaart
Secretary
The Wilmington Regional Office received a complete Stormwater Management Permit Application for
the Brunswick Riverwalk at Belville on August 4, 2015. Staff review of the plans and specifications has
determined that the project, as proposed, will comply with the Stormwater Regulations set forth in
Session Law 2008-211 and Title 15A NCAC 2H.1000. We are forwarding Permit No. SW8 150718,
dated August 5, 2015, for the construction of the built -upon area associated with the subject project.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until rescinded and shall be subject to the
conditions and limitations as specified therein, and does not supersede any other agency permit that
may be required. Please pay special attention to the conditions listed in this permit regarding the
Operation and Maintenance of the BMP(s), recordation of deed restrictions, certification of the project,
procedures for changing ownership, and transferring the permit. Failure to establish an adequate
system for operation and maintenance of the stormwater management system, to record deed
restrictions, to certify the project or to transfer the permit in a timely manner, will result in future
compliance problems.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the right to
request an adjudicatory hearing by filing a written petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings
(OAH). The written petition must conform to Chapter 150E of the North Carolina General Statutes. Per
NCGS 143-215(e) the petition must be filed with the OAH within thirty (30) days of receipt of this permit.
You should contact the OAH with all questions regarding the filing fee (if a filing fee is required) and/or
the details of the filing process at 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-6714, or via telephone
at 919431-3000, or visit their website at www.NCOAH.com. Unless such demands are made this
permit shall be final and binding.
If you have any questions, or need additional information concerning this matter, please contact
Christine Hall at (910) 796-7215.

FOR THE
construction, operation and maintenance of a 24% low density project in compliance with the
provisions of Session Law 2008-211 and Title 15A NCAC 2H .1000 (hereafter collectively and
separately referred to as the "stormwater rules') and the approved stormwater management plans
and specifications, and other supporting data as attached and on file with and approved by the
Division and considered a part of this permit.
The Permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until rescinded and shall be subject to the
following specific conditions and limitations:
I. DESIGN STANDARDS
The overall tract built -upon area percentage for the project must be maintained at 24% per
the requirements of the stormwater rules. This permit covers the construction of a total of
19,567 square feet of built -upon area (BUA), which includes 15,646 square feet of proposed
BUA, 1,857 square feet of future BUA allocation and 1,200 square feet of existing BUA.
2. Where a project or lot is located within CAMA's Area of Environmental Concern (AEC), the
Division of Coastal Management may calculate a different maximum built -upon area based
on CAMA regulations. Whichever BUA limit (DCM or DEMLR) is the more restrictive will
govern.
3. The only runoff conveyance systems allowed will be vegetated conveyances such as swales
with minimum side slopes of 3:1 (H:V) as defined in the stormwater rules and approved by
the Division.
4. No piping shall be allowed except those minimum amounts necessary to direct runoff
beneath an impervious surface such as a road or under driveways to provide access.
5. The project shall provide and maintain a minimum 50-foot wide vegetative buffer adjacent all
surface waters, measured horizontally from and perpendicular to the normal pool of
impounded structures, the top of bank of each side of streams and rivers and the mean high
water line of tidal waters. All runoff directed into and through the vegetative buffer must flow
through the buffer in a diffuse manner. Roof drains must terminate at the outer edge of the
buffer.
6. Stormwater runoff that is directed to flow through any wetlands shall flow into and through
these wetlands at a non -erosive velocity.

Regarding the attached letter:
Please be advised I fully concur with the expressed concerns. I might point out that we, The Town of Belville,
were the ones that identified the potential house foundation site. We WILL NOT, under ANY circumstances
disturb that specific area until such time as a qualified archeological dig (not merely an assessment) has been
performed. The Town is fully aware of the importance of Buchoi, its history, relevance to Judge Moore and its
ties to Dr. Eagles (of Eagles Island) and his family. It is to the Towns', as well as the States' advantage to
establish the potential provenance of the remnants being those of Buchoi.
might further note that we have eliminated the proposed observation deck due, in part, to its proximity to
the underwater site 004BWR.
Having said that, and appreciative of the concerns expressed within the letter, we will defer construction
of the trails planned for the upland areas until said archeological assessment of the upland area has been
completed.. We would hope the permit may be granted with that understanding and that the Town be
allowed to perform the in/over water based portions (fishing pier, boardwalk and footbridge) due to the
limited moratorium timeline window.
My thanks to all who have worked so hard to move this project forward. Together we are assuring the
preservation of our,precious natural resources for future generations while at the same time enhancing the
publics opportunity to enjoy them.

Good morning Doug,
So it sounds to me they are okay with a permit condition requiring the assessment prior to the upland development?
The Town is anxious to get started because of the moratorium the agencies said they may require for in -water work. Are
we ready to issue with the condition so they could at least get started with that while they sort out the requirements for
the upland portion of the project?
Thanks and I hope you're feeling better today!

Here is our original letter. We got in more information and that is under review by the archaeologist. I checked the file
and found his notes on their latest submittal. Here they are:
09/23/15: Reviewed follow-up letter and revised map. No significant change to their proposed plan that would alter
the need for an assessment to be completed. New letter recommending a comprehensive survey/assessment of upland
area to locate/define archaeological remains and mitigate potential impacts from construction.
He is drafting letter that will continue to recommend the work above. Sounds as though a permit condition for them to
do the survey and assessment and possible mitigation will be needed.

SUBJECT: Brunswick Riverwalk at Belville, Brunswick County, ER 15-1811
Ramona M. Battos
Administrator
Thank you for your email correspondence dated October 6, 2015, transmitting supplemental information
from Joseph Breault regarding the above permit application. Our staff carefully reviewed the new
information and would like to offer the following comments.
First, we would recognize that the Town of Belville has been very proactive in conducting due diligence
with regards to identifying and protecting the cultural resources in the project area and our goal is not to
complicate the permitting process for the applicant. Our goal is to exercise that same diligence to insure no
potentially significant cultural resources are inadvertently impacted by the permitted project and if adverse
impacts cannot be avoided, to insure that appropriate measures are taken for adequate documentation to
mitigate the loss of cultural information.
Mr. Breault's correspondence cites a comment by Dr. Nora Reber where she states "... we believe the soil
close to the river is so heavily disturbed that there are no intact sites on the riverbank." However, he
generalizes "the soil close to the river" to "the site" applying her statement to the entire project site. As
noted in our original response, dated August 29, 2015, we concur with Dr. Reber's assessment and we
recommend no archaeological work along the riverbank and bluff area. However, we still recommend a
professional archaeological assessment be conducted in the upland area of the project.
Our comments did note the presence of submerged archaeological site 004BWR approximately 80 feet
from the proposed northern observation pier as a caution. No archaeological work was recommended as
this site should be able to be easily avoided if care is taken with any construction vessel.
We have concerns regarding potential impacts on upland cultural resources, specifically those identified by
Dr. Reber in her "Report on a Limited Archaeological Excavation at the Brunswick River Park." She notes
that archaeological remains of the Buchoi Plantation house were identified and appear to be partially intact.
She also states in the conclusion of her report, "The Buchoi Plantation house should be conserved and
protected as much as possible, given the presence of a partially intact plantation house, and the historical
importance of Judge Alfred Moore." Again, we concur with Dr. Reber's assessment of the significance of
the archaeological remains and the need to preserve and protect them.

It appears from the project plans, even with the proposed relocation of the construction entrance, that work
in the upland areas will encroach into the area associated with Buchoi Plantation. Despite the quality of Dr.
Reber's work, the limited scope of her investigation does not fulfill all the requirements of a Section 106
archaeological assessment. Thus, it requires us to recommend additional archaeological work in the upland
area to better define known features associated with Buchoi Plantation, and to identify and assess any
unknown features that may be adversely impacted by construction.
We have no objection to the project along the river area proceeding as proposed. However, our
recommendation remains for additional archaeological work in the upland area prior to any ground
disturbing activity taking_place in that area. We will be pleased to assist you in the development and
review of any scopes of work, proposals, or other documents relating to this matter.

DATE: August 31, 2015
SUBJECT: CAMA Dredge/Fill Permit Application for Town of Belville (Brunswick
Riverwalk at Belville), Brunswick 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 at 570-
580 River Road adjacent the Brunswick River in Belville, NC. Our comments are provided in accordance
with provisions of the Coastal Area Management Act (G.S. 113A-100 through I I3A-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 boardwalk — walking trail system with two piers at an
existing public park. Phase I of the project would consist of several sections of walking trails in uplands
and boardwalk sections that span Section 404 and coastal wetlands. All boardwalk sections are to be 3'
above wetland substrate with no wetland fill. Two piers will be constructed to provide public access to the
river. The first 197' by 10' pier with 48' by 10' fixed elevated T-head would utilized as a fishing pier.
The second pier would originate from the existing pavilion and be 90' by 10' and terminate in a 48' by
10' fixed elevated T-head. No docking is proposed for these structures. Numerous scoping meetings were
held with the Town to discuss the project. The Brunswick River at this location is classified SC by the
Environmental Management Commission and is designated a primary nursery area (PNA) by the NC
Division of Marine Fisheries.
The NCWRC has reviewed the permit application and does not object to permit issuance for
Phase I. We appreciate the cooperation the Town and other agencies have demonstrated to construct a
public access opportunity limiting impacts to wildlife resources. As mentioned in the scoping meetings,

DATE: 8/21/2015
Donald R. van der Vaart

A North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (DCM) Fisheries Resource Specialist has reviewed the
subject permit application for proposed actions that impact fish and fish habitats. The applicant
proposes to construct a boardwalk and walking trail system with two piers within an existing public park.
The surrounding waters are classified as Secondary Recreation/Saltwater (SC), Primary Nursery Area
(PNA), Anadromous Fish Spawning Area (AFSA), and are closed to the harvest of shellfish by the NC
Division of Marine Fisheries Shellfish Sanitation Section. The project site also contains coastal wetlands.
The project has gone through the scoping meeting process three times (12/18/12, 12/18/13, and
9/11/14). Portions of the project fall within DCM jurisdiction, and portions span §404 wetlands, coastal
wetlands and PNA and AFSA. The application identifies that no coastal wetlands will be filled. The two
piers described within the applicant's narrative identify that these structures are for observation and
recreational fishing only, and no dockage will be allowed. It is recommended that no docking
structures be available on either pier to reduce bottom disturbing impacts.
PNA's 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 PNA's because they
afford food and protection during vulnerable periods of their life history. Coastal wetlands are a
productive detritus based system that trap nutrients and sediment, aid in shoreline erosion control,
dissipate wave and storm action, and provide a barrier to flood damage. In addition coastal wetlands
are important to waterfowl feeding and nesting activities, and numerous estuarine dependent species
such as shrimp, flounder, oysters, crabs, and menhaden. Anadromous fish spawning areas are those
areas where evidence of spawning of anadromous fish has been documented by direct observation of
spawning, capture of running ripe females, or indication of eggs or early larvae. Anadromous species
include American and hickory shad, striped bass, river herring, American eel and both Atlantic and
shortnose sturgeon. The general area is well-known for sturgeon encounters.
Currently DCM recommends a standard moratorium on in water work from 1 April to 30 September.
DCM also recommends an AFSA moratorium on in water work from 1 February to 30 June. Due to the
sensitive nature of the PNA and AFSA, both moratoria are recommended, from 1 February to 30

September. These moratoria reduce the negative effects on critical fish life history activities, to
include spawning migrations and nursery functions.
Finally, though no dockage is proposed in this application, due to the PNA status of the surrounding
waters, this agency would object to any future dredging requests.

Dear Mr. Huggett:
Reference the application of Ms. Athina Williams to provide additional recreation
opportunities at an existing public park by constructing Phase I of the Belville Riverwalk Project
which consists of a walking trail system with a boardwalk over wetlands and open water, with 2
piers (observation deck and fishing pier) extending into the Brunswick River, in Belville,
Brunswick County, North Carolina.
The Federal agencies have completed review of the proposal as presented by the
application and your field investigation report.
We recommend that the following conditions be included in the State authorization:
1. In order to further protect the endangered West Indian Manatee, Trichechus manatus,
the applicant must implement the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Manatee Guidelines, and
strictly adhere to all requirements therein. The guidelines can be found at
htto://www.fws.gov/nc-es/mammal/manatee euidelines.pdf.
2. Dredging is not authorized.
3. The permittee must install and maintain, at his expense, any signal lights and signals
prescribed by the U.S. Coast Guard, through regulations or otherwise, on authorized facilities.
For further information, the permittee should contact the U.S. Coast Guard Marine Safety Office
at (910) 772-2191.
4. All work authorized by this permit must be performed in strict compliance with the
submitted 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.
5. The docks and piers extending over wetlands will be elevated sufficiently (a
minimum of 3 feet) above the wetland substrate to prevent total shading of vegetation, substrate,
or other elements of the aquatic environment.
6. 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.
7. Approval of the structure is based on determinations that there would be no
obstruction to navigation. The structure may be damaged by wave wash from passing vessels.
Issuance of this permit should not be construed, as relieving the permittee of taking proper steps
to insure the structure and moored boats will not be damaged by wave wash.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Except as authorized by this permit or any USACE approved modification to this
permit, no excavation, Pill 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.
11. All mechanized equipment will be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of waters and wetlands from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic
materials. In the event of a spill of petroleum products or any other hazardous waste, the
permittee shall immediately report it to the N.C. Division of Water Quality at (919) 733-5083,
Ext. 526 or (800) 662-7956 and provisions of the North Carolina Oil Pollution and Hazardous
Substances Control Act will be followed.
12. Unless otherwise authorized by this permit, all fill material placed in waters or
wetlands shall be generated from an upland source and will be clean and free of any pollutants
except in trace quantities. Metal products, organic materials (including debris from land clearing
activities), or unsightly debris will not be used.
13. If the permittee discovers any previously unknown historic or archeological remains
while accomplishing the authorized work, he will immediately notify the Wilmington District
Engineer who will initiate the required coordination procedures.
14. 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.
15. 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).
16. The activity will be conducted in such a manner as to prevent a significant increase in
turbidity outside the area of construction or construction -related discharge. Increases such that
the turbidity in the waterbody is 50 NTU's or less in all rivers not designated as trout waters by
the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM), 25 NTU's or less in all
saltwater classes and in all lakes and reservoirs, and 10 NTU's or less in trout waters, are not
considered significant.
17. The permittee, upon receipt of a notice of revocation of this permit or upon its
expiration before completion of the work will, without expense to the United States and in such
time and manner as the Secretary of the Army or his authorized representative may direct, restore
the water or wetland to its pre -project condition.
18. 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.

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
To find the project site, travel west on US Hwy 74/76 out of Wilmington to NC Highway
133 South towards Southport. Travel approximately one mile and the project area will be
on the left. The project site is located between vacant land to the north owned by
NCDOT, the existing Belville Park to the south, the Brunswick River to the east, and is
bordered by NC Highway 133 to the west. The address for the site is 570-580 River Road
(NC Highway 133).
Belville Park was constructed in the 1990s and consists of a boat ramp and parking area,
restroom facilities, a playground and observation platform. The overall site is
approximately 20.5 acres in area and the average elevation is approximately 15' above
normal high water (NHW). The park was constructed under State Permit 95-94, issued on
7/2/94. The project area is currently undeveloped and heavily wooded with the exception
of an educational pavilion that was authorized under CAMA Minor Permit BE 14-01,
issued to the Town on 11/25/14. Upland vegetation consists of mixed pine (Pinus spp.)
and hardwood species: sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciva), oak (Quercus spp.),
southern magnolia (Magnolia grandii fora), sweetbay (Magnolia virginiana), as well as
wax myrtle (Morella cerifera). The parcel has 4,813 linear feet of natural shoreline.
Along much of the shoreline, the highground portion of the property quickly transitions
to wetlands due to a distinct change in elevation. Nearly the entire length of the shoreline
is bordered with a significant marsh fringe due to its undulating nature of the shoreline
creating numerous vegetated marsh coves. Wetland vegetation consists primarily of
Smooth Cord Grass (Spartina alternii fora) and Cattails (Typha spp.) along with pockets
of Common Reed (Phragmites australis). Water depths along the bank remain relatively
shallow. The distance across the Brunswick River from marsh to marsh measures
approximately 1,500'.
The waters of the Brunswick River are classified as SC by the NC Division of Water
Quality. They are designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the NC Division of
Marine Fisheries, and are not open to the harvesting of shellfish.
PROPOSED PROJECT:
The applicant is seeking to construct Phase I of the Brunswick Riverwalk at Belville
project. As proposed, Phase I would consist of construction of approximately 3,400' of
walking trails and boardwalks, and two piers with observation/fishing platforms. Phase 11
would extend the walkways and boardwalks north and would include a future .
kayak/canoe launch- to be designed and permitted at a later date. A restaurant, shops,
equipment storage shed & water and sewer lines to the educational pavilion are also
planned and to be designed and permitted at a future date.

Phase I would consist of an approximate 740 linear foot gravel trail, which would
measure 8' in width, leading from the existing parking area and park entrance to the
existing educational pavilion. Geotextile fabric would be installed and a 4" layer of V
minus limestone would be used. From there, the path would transition to a 136' long by
6' wide elevated wooden boardwalk spanning a §404 wetland area. This section would be
located outside of the 75' Estuarine Shoreline Area of Environmental Concern (AEC), as
measured from Mean High Water (MHW). Upon reaching highground, the boardwalk
would transition to a 653 linear foot span of walking trail (approximate length), to
measure 8' in width, as proposed. The trail would be graded in this area, but left as the
existing natural surface. The majority of this section of trail would also be located outside
of the Estuarine Shoreline AEC. The trail system would then transition again to another
elevated, wooden boardwalk, to measure 814' long by 8' in width. This section would be
predominantly located waterward of MHW, and would span a large expanse of coastal
wetland marsh. The boardwalk would extend to the northeast corner of the project site, to
a narrow strip of highground bound by NC Highway 133. The boardwalk would then turn
and run parallel to NC Highway 133. The boardwalk would transition to 6' in width for a
distance of 672' along the roadway. It would span approximately 240 linear feet of §404
wetlands and would partially span of a short section of coastal wetlands measuring a
length of approximately 35 linear feet and approximately 3' in width. The walkway
system would then transition to a final stretch of graded natural surface walkway, which
would measure approximately 582 feet in length by 8' in width. A temporary gravel
construction entrance would also be installed during the project and would be removed
and seeded/stabilized at the end of construction. This area is located outside of the
Estuarine Shoreline AEC. The applicant has stated that all sections of boardwalk over
wetlands would be elevated a minimum of 3' above the wetland substrate. No wetland fill
is proposed for any portion of the project. A 5' buffer on each side of highground
walkways/trails would also be temporarily impacted during construction.
Two piers are also proposed within Phase I of the project. The first pier would be located
at the southwest.corner of the project area, near the existing parking lot. The pier would
extend from highground and would measure approximately 197' in length by 10' in
width and would terminate at a 48' in length by 10' in width fixed, elevated T-head, to be
utilized as a fishing pier. The second pier would originate at the educational pavilion.
The pier access would measure 90' in length by 10' in width and would also terminate in
a fixed, elevated T-head measuring 48' in length by 10' in width. Water depths at the two
piers at Mean Low Water (MLW) measure -1.1' and +1.2', respectively. Neither structure
would provide for any docking space, but would be used for fishing and observational
purposes only. The two piers would extend approximately 130' and 20' into the
waterbody, respectively. The width of the waterbody measures approximately 1500'
across.

10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The 8' wide elevated, wooden boardwalk would result in the shading of approximately
5,530 square feet of mixed coastal and §404 wetlands. The two 6' wide boardwalks
would result in the shading of an additional approximate 1,860 square feet of §404
wetlands. The gravel walkway would fill approximately 6,015 square feet of highground.
The natural surface walking trail would result in the additional disturbance of
approximately 9,631 square feet of high ground. The trail construction would also result
in the temporary disturbance of and an additional 66,682 square feet of area.
The piers and platforms would result in the incorporation of approximately 2,210 square
feet of Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area.

Narrative
I. Introduction
The proposed project, to be known as the Brunswick Riverwalk at Belville, will be located in the
Town of Belville in Brunswick County, North Carolina. Specifically, the project site is located on NC
133, south of US 17, across from the Belville Elementary School, and is directly adjacent to the
Brunswick River. The existing site contains a parking lot and playground area, along with an
observation deck on the southern side of the property. The existing park is the largest parcel of
publicly accessible waterfront on the western side of the Brunswick River / Cape Fear River from
Navassa to the ocean in Southport, a distance of approximately 25 miles. In contrast, the City Of
Wilmington enjoys significant public access to the Cape Fear River on its eastern side. The proposed
project will allow citizens of the area to enjoy public access to a larger portion of the river.
Furthermore, the development of the project will ensure that the natural beauty of the property is
kept for the foreseeable future, as opposed to being developed into a larger commercial
development.
II. Proiect Description
The project will be broken into phases. Phase I will take place on the existing park property and the
property adjacent to and north of the existing park property. Phase II of the project will occur
adjacent to and north of Phase I. New facilities planned for Phase I will include an approx. 3,400'
walking trail heading northward along the marsh boundary of the Brunswick River, which will consist
of approx. 740' of V minus limestone trail, approx. 1,220' of improved natural surface trail, and
approx. 1,400' of wooden pedestrian walkways where necessary. Additionally, Phase I will also
include an observation deck located near the recently constructed educational pavilion, as well as a
125' long fishing pier located near the existing parking lot. The trails will start near the existing
parking lot and continue to the Phase I / Phase II boundary, at which point the trail will return
parallel to NC 133 and loop back around to its starting point. Phase II of the project (to be designed
and permitted at a later date) will include additional walking trails that will connect to the Phase I
trails at the Phase I / Phase II boundary, which will lead northward to a future kayak/canoe launch
facility with limited parking at the northern edge of the property. Future plans for the park also
include a restaurant building, to be located adjacent to the existing park parking lot, which will also
include several shops. The future restaurant building will be permitted at a later date, at which
point the existing wet detention basin will need to be modified.
Since the Belville Elementary School will be located directly across the street from the park, the
students of the school will be able utilize the park for educational purposes. The walking trails will
include educational signs identifying the flora and indigenous fish species and their relevance to the
habitat. The Town envisions live and interactive classes for the children on science, botany, and
environment and the importance of tidal marshlands on the habitat.
The Town envisions this facility as serving a multitude of purposes far beyond that of the typical
municipal park. Furthermore, they see this as being beneficial to the entire region. It will be a
combination public sector / private sector venture.
Since the project is being funded by PARTF grant funds, the project will meet the PARTF requirement
of meeting ADA compliance. The trail locations have been designed to follow the contour lines as
much as possible in order to reduce slopes, and the structures have been designed to meet ADA
RECEIVED

stormwaterNarrative AUS 01 MIS O KA WII MINGTO N, NC
JUL 2 7 2015
guidelines such as slopes, handrails, railing height, etc. The proposed fishing pier will include 'drop -
down' areas to allow for ADA accessible fishing, as described in the ADA guidelines.
Phase I of the project proposes to disturb approx. 1.89 acres. The disturbance includes the
construction of the proposed walking trails and associated wooden pedestrian walkways, as well as
construction of the observation deck and 125' fishing pier. The 8' wide walking trails will require
approximately 3' of clearing on each side of the trail, which produces a 14' wide clearing path.
The trails will involve minimal disturbance, where it is expected that the contractor will choose to
utilize small grading equipment (such as a Bobcat) in order to compact the natural surface as
appropriate. The proposed wooden pedestrian walkways, observation deck, and fishing pier (design
by KCI Associates) will be supported by piles to be driven by a pile driver capable of meeting the
depths required by the structural engineering design. It is expected that the piles for the
observation deck and fishing pier will need to be driven by the use of a barge. The contractor will
have the option of installing the piles solely with an impact hammer, or a vibratory hammer with the
exception of the last 12", where the remaining 12" will be driven with an impact hammer in order to
verify capacity. The contractor will also have the option to install concrete sonotubes at areas
outside of the 404 wetlands and the 30' CAMA AEC.
The proposed observation deck, shown on sheet C.4.6 of the plans, will be approx. 90' long from its
tie-in location at existing grade to the end of the platform. The structure will connect to the existing
6' wide pavilion ramp, and will continue as 6' wide for approx. 40', at which point it will transition to
10' wide for the remainder of the structure. At low tide (MLW), the water depth will be 1.2'. At
high tide (MHW), the water depth will be -3.1'.
The proposed fishing pier, shown on sheet C.4.7 of the plans, will be approx. 210' long from its tie-in
location at existing grade to the end of the platform. The structure will be 10' wide. At low tide
(MLW), the water depth will be -1.1'. At high tide (MHW), the water depth will be -5.4'.
The overall shaded impact area of coastal wetlands/march (CW) created by the proposed structures
is 5,530 s.f.
The future water and sewer service lines labeled on C.3.1, as well as the future grinder pump station
labeled on C.4.6, are shown for reference only, and will be permitted at a later date. They have
been shown to indicate future plans for the existing pavilion to acquire water and sewer service.
The same service lines will connect to the future equipment storage facility that is also labeled on
C.3.1. The Town plans to utilize the future equipment storage facility to store equipment for
maintenance of the park; the details of the building are still being worked out by the Town.

The only "discharge" to waters of the state will come from
surface runoff in the form of sheet flow across the
proposed natural surface trails. The trails will be at
least 50' from the mean high water line in order to meet
stormwater permitting requirements for impervious area
(while it could be argued that a natural surface trail is
not impervious, per previous scoping meetings for this
project the Town agreed to meet the 50' vegetative
buffer, which fits the vision of the park as being an
environmentally friendly area for the citizens to enjoy).

Dear Mr. Cappadona:
The Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your application, acting as agent for
the Town of Belville, for State approval of the construction of the Brunswick Riverwalk at Belville Phase I, located
at 570-580 River Road in Belville, Brunswick County, and adjacent to the Brunswick River. It was received as
complete on 7/13/13tand appears to be adequate for processing at this time. The projected deadline for making a
decision is 9/27/15. 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 7/13/15 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 I I3A-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.

Report on a Limited Archaeological Excavation at the Brunswick River Park

The UNCW Archaeological Field School excavated at the Brunswick River Park for three weeks
in May and June 2013. Five I x 1 in test units were excavated in a variety of locations around the
park in order to determine if intact archaeological strata were present and threatened by washout
of the river bank. Prehistoric artifacts were found in the upper levels of all test units. None of
the units, however, seemed to have intact prehistoric remains. It seems likely that prehistoric
deposits in the park were heavily disturbed by a variety of historic earth -moving operations,
including bulldozing, dredging, and filling. No intact prehistoric deposits seemed to be
threatened by washout along the riverbank. The location of historic Buchoi plantation, however,
did seem to be partially intact and was tentatively located, and the location of a historic barn
dating back to the 1940s or earlier was also tentatively identified.
Introduction
In October 2012, the UNC W Anthropology department requested permission for the
2013 Archaeological Field School to excavate at the Brunswick River Park in the Summer of
2013 (Reber 2012). Prehistoric artifacts ranging from 1900 BC to 1500 AD had been found
washing out of the bank over several years of observation. Geographically, the park had (prior to
the Brunswick River dredging) sat on a knoll overlooking the Brunswick River that was at the
intersection of three biomes, making it a clear candidate for long-term human occupation.
Further, an archaeological survey in 1975, prior to dredging, had identified five terrestrial
archaeological sites on park land, and one shipwreck, partially shown in Figure 1. As a result,
Brunswick River Park seemed to be a strong candidate for limited archaeological testing to
determine if intact archaeological deposits were threatened by washout from the river bank.
We received permission to excavate the park in late October, and excavated as planned
for three weeks in May and June 2013. The goals of our research were to determine whether
intact archaeological sediments were present at or near the river's edge, as mentioned above.
Further archival research suggested that one of the archaeological sites identified in 1975,
36B W 126 an antebellum plantation house later identified as Buchoi Plantation, was of

considerable historical and archaeological significance (Angley 1993). Buchoi Plantation
belonged to Judge Alfred Moore, the first U.S. Supreme Court Justice from North Carolina, and
a signer of the Declaration of Independence (Clifton 1991). We therefore added a secondary
project goal of re -locating the plantation house, based on survey and reconstruction of the
original survey sketch maps from 1975.

Survey and mapping
Mapping was carried out using a Topcon GTS-2 Total Station, linked to a site datum and
northing point, with a secondary datum and northing points located on the blufftop, since there
was no clear line -of -sight to the site datum from this location. Both datum points were mapped
in the UTM grid using a Survey grade GPS, operated by Yvonne Marsan, Laboratories Manager
for the Department of Geography and Geology at UNCW. Each point was taken in triplicate to
produce horizontal accuracy of about 1-2 cm, which tied the entire site map to the global UTM
grid.
The areas of interest in the Brunswick River Park were mapped and examined by surface
survey. Immediately, we noted the presence of piles of loose tabby plaster around the inlet with
the boat ramp, suggesting that tabby walls or foundations were bulldozed during the construction
of the parking lot. Further, there was a raised area to the northwest of the parking lot that
contained stones visible in the ground surface and circular shadows of bright green grass, typical
of a historic cistern or midden area. It was located approximately 150 feet from River Road, and
lined up with a heavily eroded tabby pillar located close to the intersection of River Road and the
road into the parking lot. The 1975 archaeological survey identified the presence of the Buchoi
plantation house approximately 200 feet from River Road, with an intact cistern (visible brick
superstructure still present at the time) and ballast stone foundation, lined up with an avenue of
pecan trees (Angley 1993; Ham, Hall and Flynt 1975:14-16; Mattson 1969). It therefore seems
likely that the raised area noted in Figure 2 is the location of at least part of the Buchoi Plantation
house, and hopefully the cistern. This area fits the 1975 survey description fairly well, although
the pecan avenue noted in that report is completely gone, and it seems a bit closer to the road
than described in 1975. The remainder of the plantation house and outbuildings are probably

largely under the parking lot. It is difficult to see how much of the plantation may remain to the
north of the treeline, as the vegetation is very thick in that location. After about 25 feet
northwards, however, there is an area of extensive disturbance and trash dumping, so that it
seems unlikely that many outbuildings would be intact in the heavily disturbed portion of the
park.
An alternative hypothesis is that the area located during mapping is primarily made up of
plantation outbuildings, and that the house itself lies under the parking lot, or perhaps the area
near the present rest area. Further testing would be needed to confirm which hypothesis is
correct; my own feeling is that the plantation house is probably at least partially intact, since the
historic foundation is noted as being made of ballast stones in the 1975 report, and since ballast
stones are found in the raised area to the north of the parking lot. Tabby, such as was
presumably bulldozed to produce the parking lot, would in my opinion have been more typical of
outbuildings.

that outbuildings and perhaps part of the plantation house were sited under the parking lot.
Due to its age and the historical importance of Judge Alfred Moore, the Buchoi
Plantation represents an important cultural resource for North Carolina and the Lower Cape Fear
region. Its present location appears to be safe from disturbance unless construction or parking lot
renovation disturbs the soil in this area.

suggested for investigation (Figure 3). Due to time constraints and the apparent amount of
disturbance, four of these units were focused north of the boat ramp, and one south of the boat
ramp, as shown in Figure 2. Of the units north of the boat ramp, one was sited near to the
informal fishing area, where lithic remains were seen to be washing out of the soil prior to the
dig season (Unit 1). Three additional units--2, 3 and 4--were located on the top of the bluff
region overlooking the river bank. Examination of the park area suggested that this area was the
least impacted by recent activity, and since it was on raised ground it had a high potential for
human settlement. Unit 5 was located south of the boat ramp overlooking the boat ramp cut,
where pottery had been seen washing out of the soil. We did not have time to place any more
units south of the boat ramp, although I would have liked to put at least one to the south of the
treeline near the shuffleboard court, as this appeared to correspond with site 36BW 108, a multi -
component Middle Archaic site registered following the 1975 survey.

black squares indicate the locations originally proposed for excavation unit placement.
Soil from all units was screened through''/4" mesh, and each unit was excavated in 10 cm
arbitrary levels, unless a soil change intervened. In this case, a natural level or zone excavation
(as appropriate) was carried out. All units were covered at the end of each excavation day, and
carefully marked with traffic cones and hazard tape.
A Note on Soil Descriptions
For consistency in soil descriptions across sites, archaeological soils are described by
color and texture. Colors are determined through direct comparison with a Munsell Soil Color
Chart, which is the standard in the discipline. In the Munsell chart, each page corresponds with a

DCM WILMINGTON, NC

certain standardized balance of yellow and red, so that 1 OYR refers to a certain balance of yellow
and red, referred to as the `hue' (Munsell Color 2000). The precise amount of these colors in the
soil is described by the value/chroma number, such as 1 OYR 5/6, which refers to a particular
standardized shade of yellowish brown. All Munsell readings are taken of damp, but not moist,
soil in the shade and with no sunglasses. Soil color descriptions are given in Appendix A.
The soil texture is a balance of sand, clay and silt in a soil, determined by feel. Sand is
the largest particle size, clay is the smallest and has a sticky feel, and silt is intermediate in
particle size and has a powdery feel. Loam describes an equal mixture of the three textures. A
soil described as `sandy clay' is comprised primarily of clay, with up to 49% additional sand;
`loamy clay' is comprised primarily of clay, with up to 16% each of additional sand, silt, and
clay. Soil texture is determined on moist, but not damp soil. A guide to soil textures and their
determination is given in Appendix B. The soil descriptions given for each unit and level
excavated thus allows a reconstruction of the precise color and texture of all soil excavated in the
2013 season.
Unit 1
Unit 1 (shown in Figure 2) was located close to the path extending from the parking lot to
a fishing area, and overlooked the water. It was the location where informational materials were
first posted as part of our Public Outreach program, including a sign and free brochures
explaining the archaeological history of the area and the purpose of our excavation. The students
excavating at Unit 1 often answered questions from members of the public, and were the `public
face' of our crew, at least until the unit was closed. At that point, outreach materials were
transferred to Unit 5. Six levels were dug in Unit 1, to a base level of 61.5 cm below datum.

One feature was identified in the unit, which after excavation was determined to be a root mold
from a tree. Flotation samples were taken and processed from each level and from feature fill.
Preliminary analyses of these samples did not recover many floral remains. Excavation was
discontinued after two levels without anthropogenic artifacts, and when subsoil began to appear.

Unit 3
Unit 3 was located on the brow of the bluff, on what appeared to be some sort of
historical feature or disturbance. Soil was very soft and organic, leading to constant
`overdigging' or going too deep in most levels, and too wide through the borders of the unit. The
soil simply tended to collapse at a very light touch. This unit was also known as the `lithic unit'
by the student excavators, due to the relatively high number of lithic remains excavated from
levels I and 2.
Excavation of the unit revealed that it was indeed on a historic disturbance, which
included solid copper electrical wiring (typical of the 1940s) and a variety of historic os 96&EIVED

the 1940s that was recorded as still present, though falling apart, in the 1975 archaeological
survey (Ham, Hall, and Flynt 1975). This unit produced the largest number of prehistoric
artifacts of any of our units, and artifacts were present through level 6; unfortunately, the soil
was clearly disturbed by a variety of factors, including the historic bam construction. Excavation
continued through level 7.

Unit 4
Unit 4 was located on the bluff further away from the river's edge on a slight dip in the
soil. We thought this unit may have been on top of a prehistoric sheet midden extending behind
the prehistoric settlement (standard prehistoric behavior) and also a potential historic feature,
determined by the presence of the dip in the soil. This unit was known as the `poison ivy' unit,
because a large patch of poison ivy was located near it. To be accurate, poison ivy was located
on or adjacent to Units 2 and 3 also, but this unit was felt to be particularly infested. It was also
RECEIVED

known as the `snake unit', since the only copperhead spotted in the course of the field season
was located near this unit.
Figure 7. East profile of Unit 4, showing the zones of soil in Feature 2, the water -based feature.
The dark area in the southern comer of the unit may have been a historic area of manure of
compost, with some sort of water channel traveling around it to the north..
Excavation of the unit uncovered no prehistoric sheet midden, but there was a clearly
marked, but mysterious feature that we eventually called the `water feature' (Feature 2). It was
an apparent cut -channel or canal caused by water in some form. There was some thought that a
drainage channel extended from the historic barn (near Unit 3) to a possible manure pile once
located near Unit 4, due to the blackness and richness of some of the soil in Unit 4 (shown in
Figure 7). In any case, there was clearly unusual hydrological activity in this unit.

Age of Remains
The lack of diagnostic lithic material meant that no part of the remains could be assigned
to the Archaic period, even though Archaic remains were found washing out of the river bank in
previous years. Pottery analysis is not yet complete, but all the pottery found in the excavation
units dates to the Middle and Late Woodland periods (300 BC-1650 AD). Although there were
clearly historic remains in the park, typified by the piles of tabby and probable remains from
Buchoi plantation, nearly all the historical artifacts found in the units dated to a much later time

period. The historic remains in Units 3 and 4 appeared to date primarily from the early to mid-
201h century. There were no diagnostic artifacts found from the 18`s or 19d' centuries in the units.
The only possible exception was a piece of tabby foundation found in Unit 5.
Public Education Component
An important part of this project involved educating the public about the importance of
archaeological remains and conservation in the Lower Cape Fear region. Throughout our time
excavating in the Brunswick River Park, the students regularly interacted with and educated
members of the public. Early in our excavation, we did contact Belville Elementary School
about potentially inviting field trips to our excavations; unfortunately, this did not fit into the
elementary school schedule and was not possible. Luckily, there was still a good deal of traffic
around Units 1 and 5, so that we were able to interact with many members of the public.
Signage was displayed during all excavations at the park, and brochures were available to
interested members of the public during the working day. I was also able to present a
preliminary version of our findings at a public meeting for the Brunswick Riverwalk Planning
board.
Conclusions
There was clearly prehistoric archaeological activity within the park boundaries —every
unit contained prehistoric artifacts in the top 40 cm at least of soil. The five units excavated
produced 10 prehistoric rimsherds and 471 prehistoric bodysherds. Prehistoric lithics recovered
were much more limited. Only two chipped stone tools were recovered during the three weeks if
excavation, and one of these was part of a wall washout. Twelve pieces of lithic debitage (debris
RECEIVED

from lithic tool production or sharpening) were found overall, which is a comparatively small
amount. This may be due to the general shortage of lithic materials in the Lower Cape Fear
region or taphonomic issues in soil mixing and disturbance. Heavier materials, such as lithics,
tend to slide further downhill and therefore might have been expected to fall into the river during
disturbance at a higher rate.
Excavation coverage was somewhat limited, although well within the planned scope of
our project. In the areas that we tested, there did not appear to be any intact prehistoric fill in the
top 70 cm of soil, and probably not at all. This disturbance was due to a combination of factors,
primarily including the regular dredging, filling, and earth -moving along the river bank. This is
consistent with the findings of the 1975 archaeological survey, which detected several sites, but
concluded that prehistoric fill was not intact in the area. The combination of these two findings
therefore supports each other in suggesting that there is little to no intact fill along the river bank
and bluff area tested in the Brunswick River Park.
The historic Buchoi Plantation house, however, does seem to be partially intact, and was
probably identified during the course of the 2013 UNCW Archaeological field school. Remains
of a more recent historic barn, dating to at least the 1940s were also detected, and appeared to be
somewhat intact.
In conclusion, the prehistoric remains in the Brunswick River Park do not appear to be
particularly threatened by washout along the river bank, as there were no intact prehistoric
deposits detected, either in 2013 or 1975. The Buchoi Plantation house should be conserved and
protected as much as possible, given the presence of a partially intact plantation house, and the
historical importance of Judge Alfred Moore. Luckily, this plantation house does not presently
seem to be threatened.

The field school would also never have existed without the gracious permission and
support of the Brunswick County Parks and Recreation Board, and Jim Pryor, Director of the
Brunswick County Parks and Recreation. The Brunswick County Board of Commissioners
generously permitted this excavation to take place, and the Belville Board of Commissioners
gave considerable moral support.

Appendix B. The field school guide to soil textures and how to determine them.
Sand: Moist sample collapses after squeezing. Your hands don't get dirty when working the
soil.
Loamy sand. Sample has very little body. Moist soil barely stays together after squeezing. Just
enough silt and clay to dirty your hands.
Sandy loam: Sand dominates noticeably. Enough silt and clay to give the sample body. Moist
soil stays together after squeezing. Hardly forms any ribbon at all when you try to form it into a
"snake" or ribbon.
Sandy clay loam: Feels gritty and sticky. Forms ribbon 1-2 inches long before crumbling.
Sandy clay: Feels definitely sandy. Forms ribbon 2-3 inches long before crumbling.
Loam: Sand noticeably present, but doesn't dominate. Sample works easily between thumb and
fingers. Contains enough silt and clay to give sample good body. Sample only forms short,
broken ribbons.
Silt loam: Feels smooth, like flour or corn starch. Tends to be nonsticky. Only forms short,
broken ribbons.
Clay loam: Noticeably gritty, but sand doesn't dominate. Noticeably sticky. Noticeably hard to
work between thumb and fingers. Forms ribbons 1-2'/z inches long.
Silty clay loam: Feels smooth and sticky. Contains very little sand. Forms ribbons 1-2 '/z inches
long.
Clay and silty clay: Dry sample absorbs a lot of water before it is moist enough to work.
Sample very hard to work between thumb and finger. Forms ribbon 2'/z-4
incheslong.
