MEMORANDUM TO - John Parker
From Preston Pate
Subject App. for State
permit - Milton 0. Carawan
Div. Marine Fisheries
PO Box 769
Morehead City, NC 28557
July 15, 1977
5-12-77
Location - Hyde County, east of Swan Quarter on SR 1128 and behind a farm equipment
company.
Investigative process - App. rec. in Raleigh 6-24-77; Morehead 6-27-77. On -site visit
made with applicant 7-7-77.
Environmental setting - The project site is situated between SR 1128 and Swan Quarter
Bay. The property is roughly 500' square with the northern boundary along SR 1128 and
the eastern boundary along a long, man-made canal which enters Swan Quarter Bay. The
southern boundary is along an extensive wetlands area which is continuous to Swan Quar-
ter Bay - a distance of approximately 2800'. The property is surrounded on the sou-
thern and western sides by small drainage ditches which enter the previously mentioned
canal.
The northern one-half and southeastern one -quarter of the property is elevated suffi-
ciently to support growth of pine trees and scrub growth. The highest area adjacent
to the road serves as a site for sale, storage and maintenance of farm equipment. The
southwestern one -quarter is lower and vegetated almost completely with spike grass
(Distichlis spicata). According to the applicant, this area was once cultivated farm-
land which has laid fallow since a hurricane in the 1950s. The fences which surrounded
the old field are still remaining. The previously mentioned drainage ditch separates
this small marsh area from the larger marsh continuous with Swan Quarter Bay.
Project proposal - Mr. Carawan proposes to widen and deepen the existing drainage ditch
to obtain fill material. The fill material will be used to fill and raise the eleva-
tion of the marsh area located in the southwestern corner of the property. The pur-
pose of the project is to create more high ground for expanding the farm equipment
business.
Environmental impact - The project will cause to be filled approximately A0,000 sq.ft.
of spike grass. The effects of this are questionable in terms of reduced productivity
of the adjacent estuarine waters. Detrital exchange from this area appears to be mini-
mal judging from its elevation and the distance from Swan Quarter Bay.
