course. There would be four (4) elevated golf cart crossings constructed over wetland and water areas
within the course. These crossings would be pile construction and 10 feet in width. Originally, the
applicants had planned two (2) cart crossings over coastal marsh coves adjacent to Little Creek, but, have
since redesigned upland cart paths to comply with the Outstanding Resource Waters buffer requirement
of 30 feet from mean high water. The entrance road would include a bridge across the overflow ditch
from the existing pond. The bridge would be constructed with thzee (3) concrete arches, supported by
piling foundations with concrete caps. The bridge would be 100 feet long and 30 feet wide. The southern
side of the bride would also function as a cart path. The center arch would totally span the overflow ditch,
and the complete structure would span to the 100-year flood elevation.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The proposed project would impact the entire highground portion of the tract by the transformation of this
upland woodlands to a private golf club. The construction of the proposed golf courses and amenities
would disturb approximately 200 acres of land (less the 30 ft. undisturbed buffer along the creek's
shoreline) during the clearing, grading, landscaping of fairways, greens, tees, and the construction of
structures. The implementation, maintenance, and monitoring of sedimentation and erosion control
structures will be paramount in preventing movement of material offsite. Also, there is the potential that
improper application of fertilizers and/or pesticides could result in contaminants reaching the adjacent
waters. Strict adherence to guidelines for the use and application of fertilizers and pesticides will be
necessary.

RE: EAGLE POINT GOLF CLUB COAS
Dear Mr. Brook:
I am writing in reference to the proposed Eagle Point Golf Club (EPGC) located in New
Hanover County. The EPGC will be a private 18 hole course located on a 240 acre tract near
the landmark of Porters Neck Golf Club. An Archaeological survey was recently completed for
the project by Archeological Research Consultants, Inc. (ARC). This study was performed at
the direction of Mark Mathis, Office Of State Archaeology. At this stage, EPGC is requesting
your review and concurrence on ARC's recommendations. Attached is a copy of a
Management Summary of the investigation. The report is recommending further investigation
of two areas within the 575' AEC. Further study is not being recommended for the other areas
beyond the AEC. We are looking forward to receipt of the final report by ARC upon their
completion.
Billy Armfield of EPGC has proceeded with due diligence on the planning and permitting of this
project. Pre application meetings with the various regulatory agencies, and meetings with the
adjacent communities, have occurred. The recent submittal of the CAMA Major application has
been coordinated with agencies including CAMA and ACE.
Eagle Point Golf Club would appreciate your review and comment on the enclosed
Management Summary. You may call me at 910-343-1048 x249 with any questions. Your
cooperation is appreciated.
Sincerely,
McKI CREED NGINEERS, P. A.

The Woodland site at 31N14331 also dates mostly to the Middle Woodland period
(based on the large percentage of clay tempered. sherds). Investigations here involved
initial shovel test transccts, followed by *mechanical exposure of 250 square meters
(including two upland trenches and two lowland trenches) and the hand excavation of
two one-meter squares. The second lowland trench uncovered a large Middle Woodland
shell-filled pit with excellent preservation of deer and fish bone (recovered through
flotation). We recommend Phase III data recovery in the vicinity of this feature, relying
on additional mechanical soil stripping.
The three historical-period sites in the northern section of the tract (31N14713**,
31NH714**, and 31NH715`•) date to the ante-bellum period of the nineteenth century.
These sites may represent a line of slave quarters attached to the Porters Neck plantation,
which once encompassed this tract. The area of the sites has been massively disturbed by
clear-cutting, and intact remains are highly unlikely. We do not recommend additional
archaeological study of these sites.
The historical-period farmstead at 31NR716*# appears to date to the twentieth
century. Although the site is in a still-wooded area and may be well preserved, its
relatively recent age diminishes its research value. We do not recommend additional
archaeological study of this site.
