There are five (5) existing groins located on the property. Dr"uK twn on the
attached survey. I have been unable to ascertain when these groins were constructed.
From conversations with adjacent riparian property owners and others it seems that they
may have been constructed in the early to mid 1990's.
I have asked CAMA to research the permits associated with these groins and it is my
understanding that CAMA has not been successful in locating them.
I will continue to do research on these groins from my end.

Field Investigation Report
Page 2
Project Setting
The proposed project is located at 247 Mother Vineyard Rd (SR 1120) in the town of Manteo in
Dare County. The property is located adjacent to the Roanoke Sound. The size of the
property is approximately 152,024 sq ft (3.49 acres) and is approximately 9 ft above NWL.
Manmade features associated with the property include 5 wooden groins in the Roanoke
Sound and an existing septic system that is located on a small parcel of land across the street
that is attached on the same deed. The property is vegetated mainlywith pine trees and typical
wild yard grasses. There are no recent permits on file associated with this property and there
are no known sites of archaeological significance on the property.
The property has approximately 271 linear feet of shoreline and no delineated wetlands on the
site. The southern portion of the shoreline consists of a sandy beach area and the northern
portion has experienced higher erosion and is a high wooded bluff. The adjacent property to
the south has a concrete bulkhead and several vinyl groins and the property to the south has a
wooden bulkhead with several vinyl groins.
The Roanoke Sound is classified as SC in this area and is closed to shellfish harvesting. The
water depths at the shoreline range from 2 inches to 6 inches and at the proposed bulkhead
alignment approximately 12 inches.
Development Proposal
The applicant proposes to construct 275 linear feet of new vinyl bulkhead and fill behind the
proposed bulkhead. The proposed bulkhead alignment is at an average of 25 ft waterward of
NWL with a maximum distance of 45 ft from NWL. This bulkhead alignment is proposed at this
location to line up with existing adjacent bulkheads. The applicant has noted in his application
that since the adjacent properties have constructed bulkheads and due to recent severe storms
his property has been experiencing an accelerated erosion rate. Water depths in the proposed
fill area behind the bulkhead range from 2 inches to 12 inches. The sand for the fill material
would be hauled in from an upland source.
Anticipated Impacts
The proposed project would result in the filling of 7,386 sq ft of Estuarine Waters Public Trust
Area of Environmental Concern and 4,125 sq ft of Estuarine Shoreline and also 273 cubic
yards of fill material would be placed below NWL. Temporary water turbidity would occur in the
project area.

Dear Mr. Robbins:
The NC Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of the
application submitted on behalf of the Estate of Mary Bruce Dowd for State approval for
development of property located at 247 Mother Vineyard Road in Manteo, Dare County.
It was received on May 24, 2013, and appears to be adequate for processing at this
time. The projected deadline for making a decision is August 7, 2013. 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 May 24, 2013, 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 the 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 the property, or at a point along the road right-
of-way where a private road would lead one into the property. Failure to post this notice
could result in an incomplete application.

Dear Ms. Phillips:

JUN 17 2013
The North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (CAMA) requires the notification
of adjacent riparian property owners of work proposed by a property owner requiring a
CAMA permit.
I, John M. Robbins III (Authorized Agent, Estate of Mary Bruce Dowd, "Estate'), have
applied for a CAMA Major Permit for development work on 247 Mother Vineyard Road,
Manteo, NC 27954. As required by CAMA regulations, I have enclosed a copy of my
permit application and project drawing as notification of my proposed project. The
project consists of the construction of a vinyl bulkhead 275' in length terminating at the
bulkheads to the north and the south of the subject property. The area behind the
bulkhead will then be filled. The bulkhead will be similar in height to the bulkhead on
your property.
I thank you for taking the time to speak with me about the project a couple of weeks ago.
Please note on the survey approximately 10' of the proposed bulkhead is on your
property. The purpose of this bulkhead is to tie into your existing bulkhead. If you have
any objections to this proposed plan please let me know. If permitted, we can work out
the details for this section. Terminating the bulkhead on the property line and then
returning it back to land would create a "funny" spot there.
No action is required from you or you may sign and return the enclosed form. If you
have any questions or comments about my proposed project, please contact me at
iohnmanteo(a),gmail.com or 252.423.0516.

JUN
Purpose DCM MHD CITY
The property is located at 247 Mother Vineyard Road and is owned by the Estate of Mary Bruce
Dowd. A CAMA Major application is submitted allow for the construction of approx. 275' of
vinyl bulkhead and associated fill behind the bulkhead. The purpose of the project is to prevent
the shoreline erosion of the subject property. A plan view drawing prepared by Seaboard
Surveying titled "Estate of Mary Bruce Dowd" is attached showing the existing conditions and
the proposed development work. Additionally, bulkhead construction drawings are provided.
Present Conditions
To the west the Roanoke Sound borders the property. The elevation of the property is
approximately 9' (NAVD 1988). The properties in the surrounding area share similar elevations.
As one travels to the south on Mother Vineyard Road the elevations decrease, and to the north
the elevations remain the same or increase. Because of the higher elevations of the properties in
contrast to much of Roanoke Island, the shoreline in this area is composed of a "bluff/ridge".
The shoreline in this area faces predominantly east. The adjacent riparian property to the south
is owned by John F. Wilson, Jr. and Estelle J. Wilson has a concrete bulkhead, and vinyl groins
(Picture 1).
Picture 1 (View looking south)
The adjacent riparian property to the north is owned by Wendi Phillips. This property has a
wooden bulkhead and vinyl groins (Picture 2).

RECEIVED
JUN 17 Z013
DCM MFM C9Y
Picture 2 (View looking north)
The subject property has five (5) existing wooden groins and no bulkhead. When these groins
were constructed the landward portion of the groins was above the shoreline. Now, the water
depths at the most landward point of the groins average approximately -12". Since the
construction of the groins the shoreline has experienced significant erosion (Picture 3).
O
W

The greatest amount of erosion has occurred to the northern shoreline of the subject property
adjacent to the riparian property owner's groin and bulkhead. This groin is preventing the lateral
movement of sand that would otherwise assist in replenishing the subject property's shoreline
(Picture 4). The erosion is now wrapping around the northern property owner's bulkhead
(Picture 5).

I have monitored the property over the past year and have observed no rooted submerged aqu9ic o
vegetation at anytime within the area of the proposed bulkhead. The bottom is composed of
coarse sand and some clay. There are no wetlands on the property.
Picture 7 (Dare County's GIS) illustrates the disproportional erosion of the subject property
when compared to the adjacent properties.

History
Picture 8 was obtained from the Outer Banks History Center's Aycock Brown Collection. It is
estimated that the picture was taken in the 1950's. The subject property is the wooded land in
the center of the photograph. The existing residences on the adjacent riparian properties are
visible. One can see that the shoreline of the subject property is even with that of the adjacent
properties.

Pictures 9-11 were provided by NCDOT and the red dot marks the subject property. The
pictures show that from 1974 until 1981 the shoreline of the subject property and the adjacent
properties was uniform. In these two pictures there are no hardened structures on the subject
property or the adjacent property. In the picture from 1995, the shorelines of the adjacent
riparian properties have been hardened with bulkheads and groins. The bulkheads extend
waterward of the subject properties shoreline and the erosion of the subject property is apparent.
The final picture (Picture 12) was taken from the Dare County GIS page. It is estimated that the
picture was taken around 2010. With the hardening of the adjacent shorelines it is clear that the
erosion of the subject property's shoreline has accelerated when compared to the shoreline in the
NCDOT photos.

Project Scope
Due to the erosion from recent storms, affects of the adjacent riparian property owners' hardened
structures, and normal conditions, an application is submitted for the construction of a vinyl
bulkhead approximately 275' in length that will connect to the waterward corners of the adjacent
7

riparian property owners' bulkheads and compliment the existing groins on the subject property.
The purpose of this structure is to prevent future erosion and restore the shoreline that has been
lost as a result of the conditions presented. This bulkhead will be located behind the existing
groins on the subject property. The bulkhead will be waterward of the shoreline and an area of
approximately 7,386 sq.ft. of water will need to be filled. The depths to be filled are less than 1'.
Construction drawings are attached. Fill will be placed in the upland areas to the height of the
groin. The area will be seeded and graded in a manner to prevent further erosion.
If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me:

Notes:
1. All photographs unless otherwise noted were taken on April 10, 2013. There were light
west winds and water levels observed reflected normal conditions. The water levels
covered the barnacles on the existing structures.

(c) Management Objective. To protect public rights for navigation and recreation and to
conserve and manage the public trust areas so as to safeguard and perpetuate their biological,
economic and aesthetic value.
(d) Use Standards. Acceptable uses shall be those consistent with the management objectives in
Paragraph (c) of this Rule. In the absence of overriding public benefit, any use which
jeopardizes the capability of the waters to be used by the public for navigation or other public
trust rights which the public may be found to have in these areas shall not be allowed. The
development of navigational channels or drainage ditches, the use of bulkheads to prevent
erosion, and the building of piers, wharfs, or marinas are examples of uses that may be
acceptable within public trust areas, provided that such uses shall not be detrimental to the public
trust rights and the biological and physical functions of the estuary. Projects which would
directly or indirectly block or impair existing navigation channels, increase shoreline erosion,
deposit spoils below normal high water, cause adverse water circulation patterns, violate water
quality standards, or cause degradation of shellfish waters are considered incompatible with the
management policies of public trust areas. In every instance, the particular location, use, and
design characteristics shall be in accord with the general use standards for coastal wetlands,
estuarine waters, and public trust areas.
Consistent: The applicant proposes to construct a bulkhead to prevent erosion. This

Field Investigation Report
Page 2
Project Setting
The proposed project is located at 247 Mother Vineyard Rd (SR 1120) in the town of Manteo in
Dare County. The property is located adjacent to the Roanoke Sound. The size of the
property is approximately 152,024 sq ft (3.49 acres) and is approximately 9 ft above NWL.
Manmade features associated with the property include 5 wooden groins in the Roanoke
Sound and an existing septic system that is located on a small parcel of land across the street
that is attached on the same deed. The property is vegetated mainly with pine trees and typical
wild yard grasses. There are no recent permits on file associated with this property and there
are no known sites of archaeological significance on the property.
The property has approximately 271 linear feet of shoreline and no delineated wetlands on the
site. The southern portion of the shoreline consists of a sandy beach area and the northern
portion has experienced higher erosion and is a high wooded bluff. The adjacent property to
the south has a concrete bulkhead and several vinyl groins and the property to the south has a
wooden bulkhead with several vinyl groins.
The Roanoke Sound is classified as SC in this area and is closed to shellfish harvesting. The
water depths at the shoreline range from 2 inches to 6 inches and at the proposed bulkhead
alignment approximately 12 inches.
Development Proposal
The applicant proposes to construct 275 linear feet of new vinyl bulkhead and fill behind the
proposed bulkhead. The proposed bulkhead alignment is at an average of 25 ft waterward of
NWL with a maximum distance of 45 ft from NWL. This bulkhead alignment is proposed at this
location to line up with existing adjacent bulkheads. The applicant has noted in his application
that since the adjacent properties have constructed bulkheads and due to recent severe storms
his property has been experiencing an accelerated erosion rate. Water depths in the proposed
fill area behind the bulkhead range from 2 inches to 12 inches. The sand for the fill material
would be hauled in from an upland source.
Anticipated Impacts
The proposed project would result in the filling of 7,386 sq ft of Estuarine Waters Public Trust
Area of Environmental Concern and 4,125 sq ft of Estuarine Shoreline and also 273 cubic
yards of fill material would be placed below NWL. Temporary water turbidity would occur in the
project area.

Purpose ELIZ BF'H (IFY
The property is located at 247 Mother Vineyard Road and is owned by the-rstate- r&l11FWruce
Dowd. A CAMA Major application is submitted allow for the construction of approx. 275' of
vinyl bulkhead and associated fill behind the bulkhead. The purpose of the project is to prevent
the shoreline erosion of the subject property. A plan view drawing prepared by Seaboard
Surveying titled "Estate of Mary Bruce Dowd" is attached showing the existing conditions and
the proposed development work. Additionally, bulkhead construction drawings are provided.
Present Conditions
To the west the Roanoke Sound borders the property. The elevation of the property is
approximately 9' (NAVD 1988). The properties in the surrounding area share similar elevations.
As one travels to the south on Mother Vineyard Road the elevations decrease, and to the north
the elevations remain the same or increase. Because of the higher elevations of the properties in
contrast to much of Roanoke Island, the shoreline in this area is composed of a "bluff/ridge".
The shoreline in this area faces predominantly east. The adjacent riparian property to the south
is owned by John F. Wilson, Jr. and Estelle J. Wilson has a concrete bulkhead, and vinyl groins
(Picture 1).

The adjacent riparian property to the north is owned by Wendi Phillips. This property has a
wooden bulkhead and vinyl groins (Picture 2).

Picture 2 (View looking north)
The subject property has five (5) existing wooden groins and no bulkhead. When these groins
were constructed the landward portion of the groins was above the shoreline. Now, the water
depths at the most landward point of the groins average approximately -12". Since the
construction of the groins the shoreline has experienced significant erosion (Picture 3).

The greatest amount of erosion has occurred to the northern shoreline of the subject property
adjacent to the riparian property owner's groin and bulkhead. This groin is preventing the lateral
movement of sand that would otherwise assist in replenishing the subject property's shoreline
(Picture 4). The erosion is now wrapping around the northern property owner's bulkhead
(Picture 5).

I have monitored the property over the past year and have observed no rooted submerged aquatic
vegetation at anytime within the area of the proposed bulkhead. The bottom is composed of
coarse sand and some clay. There are no wetlands on the property.

History
Picture 8 was obtained from the Outer Banks History Center's Aycock Brown Collection. It is
estimated that the picture was taken in the 1950's. The subject property is the wooded land in
the center of the photograph. The existing residences on the adjacent riparian properties are
visible. One can see that the shoreline of the subject property is even with that of the adjacent
properties.
Picture 8
Pictures 9-11 were provided by NCDOT and the red dot marks the subject property. The
pictures show that from 1974 until 1981 the shoreline of the subject property and the adjacent
properties was uniform. In these two pictures there are no hardened structures on the subject
property or the adjacent property. In the picture from 1995, the shorelines of the adjacent
riparian properties have been hardened with bulkheads and groins. The bulkheads extend
waterward of the subject properties shoreline and the erosion of the subject property is apparent.
The final picture (Picture 12) was taken from the Dare County GIS page. It is estimated that the
picture was taken around 2010. With the hardening of the adjacent shorelines it is clear that the
erosion of the subject property's shoreline has accelerated when compared to the shoreline in the
NCDOT photos.

Project Scope
Due to the erosion from recent stones, affects of the adjacent riparian property owners' hardened
structures, and normal conditions, an application is submitted for the construction of a vinyl
bulkhead approximately 275' in length that will connect to the waterward corners of the adjacent
7

riparian property owners' bulkheads and compliment the existing groins on the subject property.
The purpose of this structure is to prevent future erosion and restore the shoreline that has been
lost as a result of the conditions presented. This bulkhead will be located behind the existing
groins on the subject property. The bulkhead will be waterward of the shoreline and an area of
approximately 7,386 sq.ft. of water will need to be filled. The depths to be filled are less than 1'.
Construction drawings are attached. Fill will be placed in the upland areas to the height of the
groin. The area will be seeded and graded in a manner to prevent further erosion.
If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me:

Attachment: MP-1,
There are five (5) existing groins located on the property. They are shown on the
attached survey. I have been unable to ascertain when these groins were constructed.
From conversations with adjacent riparian property owners and others it seems that they
may have been constructed in the early to mid 1990's.
I have asked CAMA to research the permits associated with these groins and it is my
understanding that CAMA has not been successful in locating them.
I will continue to do research on these groins from my end.

TO: Doug Huggett, MiAr Permit Coordinator
DCM-MAD Crty
FROM: Charlan Owen ICP, NE DCM District Planner
SUBJECT: Major Permit Request by The Estate of Mary Bruce Dowd to install 275 linear
feet of vinyl bulkhead and associated fill along the Roanoke Sound; on property
located at 247 Mother Vineyard Road, on Roanoke Island, Dare County.
Date: June 17, 2013
Consistency Determination: The request is consistent with/not in conflict with the Dare
County 2009 Land Use Plan certified by the CRC on February
24, 2011.
Overview: The subject property consists of a 3.49 acre lot with 271 linear feet of shoreline
along the Roanoke Sound. Water depths in the Roanoke Sound at this location range from 2
to 6 inches at the shoreline to -1 foot a distance of 45 feet from NWL. Existing shoreline
improvements consist of five (5) wooden groins in the sound. The site is undeveloped and is
vegetated with pine trees and typical wild yard grasses. Site elevation is approximately 9 feet
above Normal Water Level. The southern portion of the site is sandy beach and the northern
portion is high wooded bluff. The property has been experiencing an accelerated erosion rate.
Installation of 275 linear feet of vinyl bulkhead and associated fill is proposed. The bulkhead
will be aligned an average of 25 feet waterward of NWL with a maximum distance of 45 feet
from NWL. The bulkhead will align with bulkheads on adjacent properties to the north and
south. Fill will be hauled in from an off -site upland source.
The waters of the Roanoke Sound in this area are designated as Class SC waters and are
closed to shellfish taking. There are no known areas of archaeological significance
associated with the project site. A review of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) was not
provided.
Anticipated impacts resulting from this project are expected to include: the filling of 7,386 sq.
ft. (.17 acre) of Public Trust//Estuarine Waters Areas of Environmental Concern (AECs) and
4,125 sq. ft. of Estuarine Shoreline AEC.

Subject EXEMPTION from Stormwater Management Permit Regulations
CAMA Major Estate of Mary Brace Dowd Bulkhead Project
Stormwater Project No. SW7130608
Dare County
Dear Kerry Barrow:
John E. Skvarla, III
Secretary
The Washington Regional Office received a copy of your CAMA Major application for the proposed
bulkhead project located at 247 Mother Vineyard Road In Menteo, NC on June 14, 2013. Staff review of
the plans and specifications has determined that the project, as proposed, consists of activities that will
not pose surface water quality threats from stormwater runoff since no significant new impervious area is
proposed.
The Director has determined that projects that are reviewed and approved by the Division as not posing
water quality threats from stormwater runoff should not be subject to the stormwater management
permitting requirements of 15A NCAC 2H.1000 and SL 2008-211. For this reason, we are informing you
by way of this letter that your project will not require a State Stormwater management permit at this time.
The stormwaterrules require the Division to permit the common plan of development, therefore, any
future development on the property, regardless of whether a SECplan or CAMA Major permit is also
required, will require a Stormwater Management Permit application and permit issuance from the Division
of Water Quality prior to any construction. Any construction on the subject site, prior to receipt of the
required permit, will constitute a violation of 15A NCAC 21-1.1000 and SL 2008-211 and may result in
appropriate enforcement actions by this Office.
Please keep in mind that this determination does not affect your legal requirements to obtain other
permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality, the Division of Land Resources, the
Division of Coastal Management or any other Federal, State or Local Government
Please reference the Stormwater Project Number above on all correspondence. If you have any questions
or need additional information concerning this matter, please contact Roger Thorpe at (252) 948 - 3923.
