9. PROTECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is located within the Ocean Harbour Estates at 1318 Harbour Watch along the AIWW
in Calabash of Brunswick County, NC. The lot is approximately 0.88 acres with an elevation of
approximately 20 ft above Mean High Water. There are no structures on the lot which is sparsely
covered with trees and underbrush. Coastal wetlands on the lot consist of a very narrow fringe (5-10ft)
of cattails (T)na sue.) along the waterward boundary of the lot.
The Town of Calabash Land Use Plan classifies the area as Urban Transitional. The adjacent waters
of the AIWW are classified as SA waters by the Division of Environmental Management. The adjacent
waters between the AIWW and the lot are classified as Primary Nursery Area by the Division of Marine
Fisheries but are closed to the taking of shellfish.
The applicant proposes to construct a 4 X 533 ft. pier to open water. The pier would begin at the top
of the slope and extend approximately 105 ft. waterward to Mean High Water, then an additional 270
ft. across a Sar ina alterniflora marsh to open water, and finally an additional 158 ft. across open water
to reach an approximate 4 ft. Mean Low Water contour. The applicant is also requesting a 12 X 12
ft. boat lift, a 14 X 16 ft. stationary dock and a 8 X 14 ft. floating dock at the end of the pier. The
entire pier, boat lift and docks including pilings should not exceed 547 ft. in length.
All structures and pilings are proposed to be at least 85 ft. from the near bottom edge of the federally
maintained channel and at least 15 ft. from the riparian corridor on either side of the lot.
10. ANTICIPATED E%VACTS
The proposed structure would incorporate 2,192 square feet of Estuarine and Public Trust Waters. The
pier walkway would shade approximately 1140 square feet of coastal wetlands, but, if it is elevated
sufficiently, no long-term adverse impacts are anticipated from the project.
The project as proposed meets the 1/3 rule, is 85 ft. from the near water edge of the federally
maintained channel, totals less than 500 square feet dock space, totals less than 500 square feet boat lift
space and is at least 15 ft. from each adjacent riparian corridor.

9. PROTECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is located within the Ocean Harbour Estates at 1318 Harbour Watch along the AIWW
in Calabash of Brunswick County, NC. The lot is approximately 0.88 acres with an elevation of
approximately 20 ft above Mean High Water. There are no structures on the lot which is sparsely
covered with trees and underbrush. Coastal wetlands on the lot consist of a very narrow fringe (5-10ft)
of cattails (_T)aha spy.) along the waterward boundary of the lot.
The Town of Calabash Land Use Plan classifies the area as Urban Transitional. The adjacent waters
of the AIWW are classified as SA waters by the Division of Environmental Management. The adjacent
waters between the AIWW and the lot are classified as Primary Nursery Area by the Division of Marine
Fisheries but are closed to the taking of shellfish.
The applicant proposes to construct a 4 X 533 ft. pier to open water. The pier would begin at the top
of the slope and extend approximately 105 ft. waterward to Mean High Water, then an additional 270
ft. across a Snartina alterniflora marsh to open water, and finally an additional 158 ft. across open water
to reach an approximate 4 ft. Mean Low Water contour. The applicant is also requesting a 12 X 12
ft. boat lift, a 14 X 16 ft. stationary dock and a 8 X 14 ft. floating dock at the end of the pier. The
entire pier, boat lift and docks including pilings should not exceed 547 ft. in length.
All structures and pilings are proposed to be at least 85 ft. from the near bottom edge of the federally
maintained channel and at least 15 ft. from the riparian corridor on either side of the lot.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The proposed structure would incorporate 2,192 square feet of Estuarine and Public Trust Waters. The
pier walkway would shade approximately 1140 square feet of coastal wetlands, but, if it is elevated
sufficiently, no long-term adverse impacts are anticipated from the project.
The project as proposed meets the 1/3 rule, is 85 ft. from the near water edge of the federally
maintained channel, totals less than 500 square feet dock space, totals less than 500 square feet boat lift
space and is at least 15 ft. from each adjacent riparian corridor.
