THOMAS P. FLYNN/PAMLICO COUNTY
PAGE #2
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
Project Setting
The applicant owns an approximate 3-acre "point of land" off SR 1224 near
. Mesic, adjacent Gale Creek and the AIWW in Pamlico County. The property is
located on the south side of Gale Creek/AIWW near its confluence with the Bay River.
The lot is part of a larger tract of land known as Gale Creek Point. This larger tract is
separated from the "mainland" by a manmade canal running northwest/southeast.
Estuarine waters and an expansive intertidal marsh system dominate most of the
landscape adjoining Gale Creek Point. The applicant's property is bordered to the
north and east by Gale Creek/AIWW while the manmade canal defines the southern
and western property lines. The marsh, dominated by S artina cynosuroides and
Juncus roemerianus, can be found along much of the northern and southern property
lines. A narrow 8' to 12' fringe of Distichlis s ip cata and S. patens exists along a 55'
stretch of shoreline adjacent Gale Creek/AIWW. Moderate erosion is occurring along
this stretch of shoreline. Over the past few years, the applicant estimates that the
erosion rate has been 5' to 6' per year. A single family residence is currently being
constructed in the center of the property, and a 210' pier has previously been
authorized through the CAMA General Permit process but has yet to be constructed.
Project Description
The applicant proposes to place rock rip rap in front of a fringe of Coastal
Wetlands along 55' of eroding shoreline, and to install a 40' long X 12' wide concrete
boat ramp. According to the applicant, marl rock will be hand placed on top of "filter
screen" along the erosion escarpment, extending a maximum distance of 4' waterward
of the NWL. The applicant does not propose any backfilling activities. The applicant-
proposes to construct the boat ramp by forming and pouring 6" concrete slabs on high
ground and sliding the slabs into the water. Approximately 20' of the 12' wide boat
ramp would extend into the water while 20' would extend back onto the high ground.
Anticipated Impacts
A total of 460 ft2 of Estuarine Waters would be filled as a result of rock rip rap
and boat ramp construction (approximately 220 ft2 for the rip rap and 240 ft2 for the
boat ramp). Approximately 96 ft2 of Coastal Wetlands would be lost and another 144
ft2 of high ground impacted as a result of installation of the 12' wide X 40' long
concrete boat ramp. Approximately 220 ft2 of eroding sandy shoreline above the NWL
would also be filled by placement of the rock rip rap 4' landward of the NWL.
