Narrative
I am requesting a permit to construct a bulkhead along approximately 275' of shoreline on the Chowan
River. There is a failed bulkhead along this alignment that is between 5' and 20' waterward of my
eroding shoreline. Recent heavy rains have caused the bank to fail in at three places. One area of bank
failure is approximately 20' from the back steps of my house. The elevation at my house is between 16'
and 18' above normal water level.
The proposed replacement bulkhead is landward of the old bulkhead and would be an average of 7.45'
(maximum of 11'). There are two large sycamore trees along the bank that we would like to save. To
remove the trees would mean work and costs that are excessive given the elevation and limited access
to behind the house.
Water depth along the old bulkhead are between -2' and -2.5'. There is no vegetation growing in the
water within the area that I am proposing the new bulkhead.
I am a commercial fisherman, and have used the property for commercial fishing for over 20 years. I
would like to replace the bulkhead and reestablish the bulkhead so that I can tie my boat up behind the
house for easy access. I would also like to lower the steep bank and grade it back to approximately a 3 to
1 slope to better protect my home.

Field Investigation Report

Project Settin
David and Glenda Hollowell's property is located at 537D Wingfield Road (SR1228), in Tyner,
Chowan County. The property consists of two tracts totaling 30.98 acres with -661 linear feet
of shoreline along the Chowan River. The property is zoned Agricultural, with a single family
residence within 55' of normal water level (NWL). Use of the property is for residential,
agricultural and commercial fishing. A second dwelling is location on the property 1,500'
landward of the project site. Approximately 17 acres of the property is in agriculture (cotton).
Vegetation on the property includes, but is not limited to, cotton, american sycamore, (Platanus
occidentalis), bald cypress (Taxodium distichum), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), lobiloy
pine (Pinus teada), dogwood (Cornus florida), river birch (Betula nigra), greenbrier (Smilax
rotundifolia), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), pokeweed (Phytolacca americana), spotted
spurge (Chamaesyce maculata), carolina jasmine (Gelsemium sempervirens), cat brier (Smilax
rotundifolia), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), wild grape vine/riverbank grape (Vitis
riparia), domestic grasses and ornamentals.
Located between 5' and 25' from NWL is a derelict bulkhead constructed around 1974. Mr.
Hollowell used the bulkhead are for staging a commercial fishing business until the bulkhead
failed. Based on available aerial photographs the bulkhead started experiencing severe failure
around 2009. Within the last year there have been three severe erosion events along the bank
behind the applicant's dwelling from heavy rain (The most recent event being in August of this
year). One area of failure in the bank/shoreline is within 20' of the stairs to the applicant's
residence.
There are no pier structures or docks located along the applicant's shoreline. Currently Mr.
Hollowell moors his boat along an unprotected shoreline (tied to a tree) along an adjacent
property to the south, belonging to his son. The closest bulkhead to the applicant's north of the
property is -730', and to the south is -955'.
The elevation of the bank around the dwelling is 16'/17' above NWL. Heavy vegetation along
the shoreline has helped impede some erosion. It appears that the cause of the erosion is from
fast moving water coming from the farm fields on the landward side of the dwelling, during
severe rain events.
Water depths along the old derelict bulkhead range from -2' to -2.5'. The water bottom is a fine
silty sand. There is no submerged aquatic vegetation within the proposed project area. There
are no wetlands along the project site.
Development Proposal
The applicant would like to construct a replacement bulkhead along -270' of shoreline adjacent
to, and landward of, the remnant bulkhead constructed in 1974. The proposed replacement
bulkhead would be an average of 75, and a maximum of 11', waterward of NWL. The total
area of anticipated shallow bottom fill will be 2,025 square feet (sf).

David and Glenda Hollowell
Field Investigation Report
Page 3
The landward extent of disturbance to backfill and slope the bank along the proposed bulkhead
will be —50' as needed to slope the bank to an approximate 3:1 slope along 320' of shoreline.
The total area of high ground disturbance anticipated in conjunction with the bulkhead
construction is—16,000sf.
Anticipated Impacts
1) Filling of 2,012sf of shallow bottom (previously high ground).
2) The loss of 2,025sf of shallow water habitat.
3) Approximately 16,000sf of high ground disturbance from cut and fill activities associated
with the construction of the bulkhead.
4) Temporary turbidity can be anticipated in and adjacent to the work area during
construction.
