MEMORANDUM TO - John Parker
From R. D. Nelson
Subject App. for State permit - Augustus A. Adams &
George Braswell
Location - Beaufort County - Back Creek approximately 200 yds. south of NC Hwy.
92 bridge across Back Creek.
Investigative process - The app. rec. in Raleigh 11-24-76; Morehead 12-2-76. Site
investigated 12-9-76.
Environmental setting - The overall project site which lies on the east side of Back
Creek consists of two building lots each measuring about 160' x 250'. The lot ly-
ing closest to NC Hwy. 92 presently has a house under construction. Both lots are
quite high on the portion fronting Kirby Grange Ave. which at present appears to be
a dirt farm filled road. Both lots slope from an elevation of 10-12' to an eleva-
tion of approximately 1' adjacent to the creek. The higher portion of each lot con-
tains a few pines and large gum trees. In the lower portion of the property adja-
cent to the creek, the area is vegetated by a few pine trees, three or four cypress
trees, and a mixture of myrtle, gums, pines and various other woody shrub type
plants.
Immediately adjacent to the shoreline, the lots are bordered by a 10-20' width of
mixed black needlerush (Juncus roemerianus) and giant cordgrass (Spartina cynosu-
roides). This marshgrass border extends approximately 240' along the 320' shore-
line. The remaining 80' of shoreline consists of a high embankment which is exhibit-
ing evidence of moderate to severe erosion. Lying immediately behind this marsh -
grass border, is an area vegetated primarily by various shrubs and grasses mixed
with salt meadow grass (Spartina patens) and myrtles.
Project description The applicants propose to construct a 50' long by 40' wide
access channel from Back Creek into a 50' x 40' boat basin which will be constructed
on the property line between the two lots. In addition, they propose a 400' long
bulkhead which will be located primarily behind the mash border to that point on
the lot where the marsh border ends, and from then it will continue across the face
of two washout areas to the end of the property line. Spoil from the proposed exca-
vation will be placed on high land immediately adjacent to the proposed basin.
Environmental impact - Approximately 400 sq.ft. of marsh consisting of black needle -
rush and giant cordgrass will be excavated. A small area of shallow water habitat
will be filled as a result of constructing the bulkhead across the two washouts lo-
cated on the downstream end of the two lots. Approximately 500 sq.ft. of mixed mar-
ginal wetland habitat will be covered with spoil.
