8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant's propose to excavate an existing drainage
ditch through USACE 404 - wetlands and remove a plug that has caused the ditch to
naturalize and disconnect it from the Currituck Sound.
Project Setting
The project site is located at an existing drainage ditch that has a top bank width of ±10' and a
water width of ±6'. The centerline of the ditch is the common property line between Parcel ID
#'s 009200000870000 (John H. Forbes, Jr.) & 0093000095B0000 (Bank of Hampton Roads)
located on the east side of Aydlett Road (SR #1137), Poplar Branch, Currituck County, adjacent
to the Currituck Sound.
Parcel ID #009200000870000 is located on the north side of the ditch and is ±50 acres in size.
This property has ±24 acres of agricultural fields with the remainder being a mix of 404 -
wetlands and highground woodlands. Parcel ID #009300009560000 is located on the south
side of the ditch, is ±88 acres in size and is the site of the Currituck Crossing Subdivision.
Subdivision infrastructures such as roads and stormwater ponds have been constructed;
however, only one of the sellable lots has been developed. An area designated as open space
borders the project site near the Currituck Sound. Elevations within the project area range from
±1 foot within the shoreline area to ±3 feet in the upland area and gradually increase moving to
the west. According to the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service's Web Soil
Survey, the soil within the project area is made up of portsmouth fine sandy loam and conetoe
loamy sand. Based on available information, there appears to be no archaeological sites on
Parcel ID #009200000870000; however, the tract of land that the Currituck Crossing
Subdivision is located on is known as the Baum site and has been the location of several
archaeological studies dating back to 1972. The office of Archives and History has identified
two sites on the property and identified them as 31 CK194 and 31 CK129.
The previously mentioned drainage ditch that separates the two parcels originates on the west
side of Aydlett Road where it serves as drainage for agriculture fields. It then passes under
Aydlett Road via a culvert and continues to the east in a straight line for ±1,276' separating a
large agriculture field from the subdivision. At this point, the ditch enters a highground wooded
area. Approximately 40' past the tree line the ditch then enters a USACE delineated 404
wetland area and continues for ±100' where it then ends ±15' short of the Currituck Sound
where sand and debris have accumulated forming a plug that is 1 foot in elevation above NWL.
On the landward side of the plug, drainage water has formed a ±55'x10' wide shallow pooled
area in which Phragmites and 404 - wetland plant species have rooted and are growing within.
The bottom substrate within this area of the ditch is made up of sand, detritus and silt. The plug
area is made up of sand and is vegetated with Phragmites. The adjacent shoreline to the north
of the ditch is natural and wooded up to the water's edge with fallen trees and stumps within
the water. The adjacent shoreline to the south is natural and was previously cleared, but is now
vegetated with Phragmites, pine saplings, groundsel bushes and other various woody and 404
wetland plants.
An old spoil area is located on the north side of the ditch and extends from the tree line towards
the Currituck Sound for a length of ±85' and a width of ±10'. Approximately 45' of the spoil area
is located within the 404 - wetland area.

Page 3
The adjacent properties to the north and south of the subject parcels are similar in nature and
are largely wooded with some agriculture fields and have similar shorelines to that of parcel ID
#009200000870000.
The Division of Environmental Management classifies the waters within this area of the
Currituck Sound as SC and it is closed to shellfish taking. Water depths within the project area
in the Currituck Sound range from 0 feet at NWL to ±0.7 feet below NWL and the bottom
substrate is made up of fine sands. Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) was not observed
growing within the project area, but it is present within the surrounding waters.
Development Proposal
In order to facilitate drainage and eliminate stagnant water, the applicant's propose to dredge
out a section of the existing4 ditch along the common property line and • re- establish the
connection to the Currituck Sound. A ±70'x 6' section will be dredged through the 404 - wetland
area to the shoreline and then continue another ±20' within the waters of the Currituck Sound
to reach an adequate connecting depth of -0.7 feet.
The dredging will be performed through the use of a backhoe that will straddle the existing ditch
at the upland tree line and then work its way 153' to the shoreline area where it will begin
dredging the Sound and ditch of 6 to 8 inches of material below NWL as it moves inland. The
spoils will be placed on the existing spoil pile and /or within the highground fields.
In addition to the dredging, the applicant's have indicated the remaining length of ditch
extending to Aydlett Road will be cleaned of any blockages and debris as needed.
Anticipated Impacts
• The proposed dredging out of the existing ditch will result in ±7 cubic yards of spoil material
being removed from within the ditch and the Currituck Sound.
• The proposed dredging out of the existing ditch will result in ±5.6 cubic yards of material
being removed from above NWL.
• The proposed dredging of the ditch will result in the disturbance of ±1,050 sf within the
Estuarine Shoreline AEC.
• The proposed dredging within the Currituck Sound will result in the shallow bottom
disturbance of ±120 sf within the Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area AEC's.
• The proposed dredging of the ditch will result in the disturbance of ±1,582 sf within 404 -
wetlands.
Temporary water turbidity will occur during ditch dredging.
