Re: Weyerhauser Lot 10-Slip Dock
Pamlico County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Barnes:
08-1756
a?NR ps?oR?P?®?cN
Weyerhauser Company is proposing to construct a 10-slip dock and boardwalk on a parcel at the
end of Weaver Camp Road (SR 1333). A CAMA Major Permit application has been submitted
to Brad Connell at N.C. Division of Coastal Management. The proposed 10-slip dock will
impact 0.007 acre (300 sq. ft.) of Neuse River Riparian Buffer resulting from construction of the
boardwalk within the upland portion of property. This impact is Allowable per the NCDWQ
Table of Uses for Neuse River Riparian Buffers. The proposed construction will have no
impacts on jurisdictional wetlands or stream channels. The proposed boardwalk and dock will
be constructed at least 3 feet above the coastal marsh to avoid impacts to coastal wetland
vegetation.
The proposed construction should have no effect on the seven federally protected species known
to have ranges extending into Pamlico County. A Natural Heritage Program records review on
October 29, 2008 indicated one occurrence of Kemp's ridley sea turtle in the Bay River and one
occurrence of shortnose sturgeon within 3.0 miles of the property. This project should have no
effect on Kemp's ridley sea turtle or shortnose sturgeon.
Please comment on the attached permit application at your earliest convenience. Please contact
me if you have any questions or need any further information.
Sincerely,

Weyerhauser Lot
10-Slip Dock
Pamlico County, NC
Project Description
Weyerhauser Company is proposing to construct a 10-slip dock and boardwalk on an
approximately 4.05-acre property located at the end of Weaver Camp Road,
approximately 3.4 miles east of Bayboro in Pamlico County, North Carolina. The private
dock will provide access to the Weyerhauser property from Swindell Bay and the Bay
River. The new boardwalk will extend approximately 760 feet from the upland on the
south side of the parcel to the edge of the coastal marsh. The dock will extend an
additional 106 feet from the Normal High Water elevation. The Weyerhauser property is
located within the Neuse River Basin.
Avoidance and Minimization
The proposed 10-slip dock and boardwalk will be constructed at least 3 feet above the
coastal marsh to avoid shading impacts to coastal wetland vegetation. The limits of the
Section 404 wetlands have been approved by Tracey Wheeler of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers. The Jurisdictional Determination is attached. Water depths range from 4.7
feet to 5.7 feet. No impacts to submerged aquatic resources should result from this
project based on identified water depths provided by the applicant. The dock will not
provide fueling facilities.
Proiect Impacts
The proposed development plan will have no impacts on jurisdictional wetlands or stream
channels. The upland end of the boardwalk will impact a maximum of 0.007 acre (300
sq. ft.) of Neuse River Riparian Buffer.

depths provided by the applicant. The dock will not provide fueling facilities. Parking for the
dock facility will be a grass parking lot and will not require the addition of impervious surface to
the property.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina (see DWQ website for most current
version.).
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
0.007 acre of impacts to Neuse River Riparian Buffer is Allowable Der the NCDWO
Table of Uses. Mitigation is not required for these impacts
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
(919) 715-0476 to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
