9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Phil Jerrall, on behalf of Sea Path Yacht Club, Inc., has requested that the attached application be processed
under the Express Permit Review Pilot Program.
The physical address of the project site is 330 Causeway Drive, adjacent to the Motts Channel (a federally
maintained channel that is located between Banks Channel and the Atlantic IntraCoastal Waterway), in
Wrightsville Beach, New Hanover Co. To find the property, take Hwy 74/76 from Wilmington towards
Wrightsville Beach. Cross over the Wrightsville Beach drawbridge and the property will be located approximately
0.25 miles on the right.
The subject property is approximately 2.09 acres with roughly 1200' of shoreline along Motts Channel. There is an
existing full service marina, club house, fuel dispensing system and large parking lot located on the property.
Elevation at the site averages approximately 3 to 7 feet above Mean High Water (MI-IW).
Currently, there are two Underground Storage Tanks (UST's) located on the property, both of which are within the
75' Area of Environmental Concern (AEC). The applicant is proposing to remove the two existing tanks and
associated piping and install one new tank in the existing Sea Path Yacht Club parking lot. The applicant is
pursuing a CAMA Minor Permit for the removal of the two existing UST's.
Vegetation associated with the high ground portion of the property, consists primarily of lawn grasses and
ornamental landscaping. There are no coastal and/or "404 type" wetlands on the property.
The Wrightsville Beach Land Use Plan classifies adjacent waters as Conservation, and the adjacent high ground
portion of the project area as Developed. The waters of the canal, which are included in the Wrightsville
Recreational Area, are classified SB# by the Division of Water Quality. They are not designated as a Primary
Nursery Area by the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries and they are CLOSED to the harvest of shellfish.
PROPOSED PROTECT
The applicant is proposing to remove two existing UST's (under CAMA Minor Permit) and install a single, but
internally divided UST to store both gasoline and diesel fuel. The applicant proposes to install the tank in the
existing parking lot that serves the residents and members of the Sea Path Yacht Club. A 45' x 15' area would be
excavated for the tank installation. The UST would be located outside of the 75' AEC, as measured from the
Seapath boat basin, however, the fuel lines would be located within the 75' AEC. The applicant is also proposing
to excavate a 250' x 4' x 2' trench for the transfer piping, which would run from the UST to the existing piping
(piping that is currently used for the two existing USTs). The proposed transfer piping would be located outside of
the 30' buffer but inside of the 75' AEC.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The initial excavation and filling would result in the disturbance of approximately 1,625 sq. ft. of high ground. No
other impacts are expected as a result of the tank and piping installation.
Submitted by: Jason Dail Date: 10/28/2004 Office: Wilmington
Recommendations for State Permit - Sea Path Yacht Club, Inc.
It is recommended that a permit be issued subject to the following conditions:
In order to protect water quality, runoff from the construction must not visibly increase the amount of
suspended sediments in adjacent waters.
Appropriate sedimentation and erosion control devices, measures or structures must be implemented to ensure
that eroded materials do not enter adjacent wetlands, watercourses and property (e.g. silt fence, diversion
swales or berms, etc.).
A ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion shall be provided within the shorter of 15 working or 30 calendar
days of completion of any phase of grading on cut or filled slopes.
NOTE: This permit does not eliminate the need to obtain any additional state, federal or local permits, approvals or
authorizations that may be required.
NOTE: Future development of the permittee's property may require a modification of this permit. Contact a
representative of the Division at [phone] prior to the commencement of any such activity for this
determination. The permittee is further advised that many non-water dependent activities are not authorized within
30 feet of the normal high water level.
NOTE: The permittee and/or his contractor is urged to meet with a representative of the Division prior to project
initiation.
