NC Seafood Industrial Park (O'Neal Sea Harvest)
Bio Report
Page Two
The North Carolina Seafood Industrial Park, is located on 54 acres adjacent to a man-
made basin adjoining Mill (Landing) Creek, off Roanoke Sound and at 622 Harbor Road (SR
1140) in Wanchese, Dare County. The Park is proposing further development of Lot 28-A
which has a lot area of 13,650 sq. ft. and a basin shoreline of 150 ft. Existing development on
the tract consists of a 5,000 sq. ft. metal building and a 17 ft. wide concrete dock paralleling
the shoreline. The tenant (O'Neal Sea Harvest) is a seafood dealer who uses the dock to off-
load local catches for delivery. Little or no vegetation exists on the lot which is surfaced in
most areas with marl. Lot elevation is approximately eight feet above normal water level
(NWL). The waters of Mill Creek are classified as SC by the Division of Environmental
Management. Mill Creek is identified as "Prohibited Temtory" for the taking of shellfish by
the Shellfish Sanitation Branch. The water depth in the basin immediately adjacent to this
property ranges from -1 ft. to -14 ft.
The applicant proposes to enlarge the existing dock from a 120' x 17' structure to a 137'
x 17' structure. This is to be accomplished by. adding a 17' x 17' dock addition to the west
end of the existing dock. The applicant also proposes a 7' x 90' floating dock to be
constructed adjacent to the proposed addition and perpendicular to the shoreline. The total
length of the proposed structure from NWL and into the basin will be 107 feet. The width of
the basin at this location is approximately 1,000 ft.
The stationary dock expansion will shade 289 sq. ft. of Public Trust Area and Estuarine
Waters Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC). The floating dock will shade 630 sq. ft. of
Public Trust Area and Estuarine Waters AEC. Localized turbidity will occur during
construction. The structure will increase the ability of the tenant to unload seafood vessels. It
will extend less than 1/ of the width of the basin.
