Carey Ayres Engineer 858 Williamson Road • Mooresville, NC 281 15 • (704) 663-3478 • FAX (704) 663-5298 SKIPJACK HARBOR MARINA ON HIGH ROCK LAKE 1. APPLICANT: SKIPJACK PROPERTIES, LLC. 858 WILLIAMSON RD. MOORESVILLE, NC 28117 Contact: ROBERT O. WILSON Phone: 704-663-3478 2. APPLICANT BACKGROUND: Skipjack Properties, LLC is a North Carolina Company headquartered in Mooresville NC. It is principally owned and operated by Robert O. Wilson.. Mr. Wilson has an extensive background in the design, permitting, construction and operation of marina facilities for the past twenty years. A native of North Carolina, Mr. Wilson was educated in North Carolina public schools and graduated in business from UNC Chapel Hill. Wilson served as an Air Force pilot during Vietnam and returned to make North Carolina his home. He acquired Skipjack Harbor Marina (formerly High Rock Yacht Club Marina) in 1999. 3. SUMMARY PLANS FOR THE RECONFIGURED FACILITY: Change the nature of the old High Rock Yacht Club from a "private" sailing club to a "public" facility that will provide a boat launch and permanent, floating docks to fishermen, sailors and recreational boaters. ? Wilson's intent is to remove the well-worn existing facility and rebuild with a "state of the art" marina, with a similar footprint as the old docks. ? The number of watercraft permitted at the reconfigured marina will not change from the original. ? One of the three existing land connections will be eliminated to lessen the impact on the environment. ? Plans include the stabilization of the shoreline in accordance with DWQ, USACE and Yadkin guidelines.. Permits have been submitted to Yadkin. ? A master plan (DWG 00-130-RC, attached) for this reconfigured marina was prepared approximately two years ago. Since that time, permits have.been secured and certain works have been performed. These include: 1. Securing the permission from the Yadkin Division for the orderly and lawful operation of the marina. (Yadkin Permit #2,000). 2. Approval by Davidson County Commission to permit Conditional Zoning Use of this property for a marina and related boating activities. 3. Approval by North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources to permit excavation in the reservoir to provide year-round boating access. (letter attached) 4. Approval of DWQ 401 Water Quality Certification to permit excavation in the reservoir to provide year-round boating access (letter attached). 5. Approval of US Army Corps of Engineers to excavate for a recreational marina basin resulting in .5 acre of impacts to the jurisdictional waters of High Rock Lake. (letter attached) 6. The excavation of the marina basin has been performed. 7. The site plan approved by Davidson County has been largely completed, including the creation of erosion control devices, privacy berms, parking areas, walking paths and grassing. 3. PROJECT PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION The docking system which will be used is a commercial-quality marina system that uses predominantly non-ferrous components. It is designed and will be installed by The Rowboat Dock & Dredge Company of Mooresville, N.C. 1. Mooring Float Frame, the Rowboat Anglebrace System: The Anglebrace galvanized steel box truss is among the strongest steel trusses commercially manufactured for floating docks today. This hot dipped galvanized steel box truss has angular steel braces wherever round-bar braces are commonly used on other floating docks. Full 2x12 inch CCA treated wales are bolted to all exposed faces of the steel to totally encapsulate the truss and "hide" the steel truss completely. One of the largest commercial manufacturers of floating docks in the country engineers and constructs this Anglebrace truss to Rowboat's specifications. This steel dock is without peer. 2.. TREX...the Rowboat Standard Decking: The fixed piers and mooring floats will be decked with TREX. TREX is an innovative wood-polymer lumber made from reclaimed grocery bags and wood waste. Initially engineered and manufactured by Mobil Chemical, TREX is approximately 50% wood fiber and 50% polyethylene film. Because of the wood content, TREX has the advantage against plastic lumber of low thermal expansion/contraction, UV stability, no voids, superior traction and paintability. The advantages over wood are considerable and include no checking, splitting or rotting, no insect damage, splinter-free, and no preservatives. 3. The Floating Billets: Black encapsulated floatation billets manufactured by Formex will be used. 4. Loading Ramps: Aluminum ramps constructed of welded tubular aluminum manufactured by Red Team and decked with TREX. 5. Fixed Piers: Fixed pier framework will be constructed of pressure treated southern yellow pine, treated to a minimum of .6CCA for marine service. Wherever a through- bolted connection is warranted, hot dipped galvanized hardware is used and terminated with commercial-grade galvanized OGEE washer. TREX will be used as the decking material. 6. Telescopic Steel Pilings: Low profile, telescopic pilings will be used to secure the mooring berths. These pilings slide through a collar, which is through bolted to the steel in the mooring float frame. All pilings are hot-dipped galvanized. 4. Shoreline Impact: This project is not located in an environmentally sensitive area. One existing shoreline pedestrian access will be eliminated from the shoreline. 5. Required Permits: In addition. to agency consultation and Yadkin, Inc approval; a Davidson County building permit will be required prior, constructing the proposed facility. A permit from Alcoa Power Generating Inc., Yadkin Division will be required before the reconfiguration can begin. 6. Cultural Resources Evaluation: The area and shoreline immediately adjacent to the proposed marina has been developed. No known archaeological, historical or cemetery sites have been encountered during this development. As stated previously, the Department of Cultural Resources has reviewed this site and permitted the excavation, which has previously been performed. ' 4Tyd,a5TH1$o ..

Smith 13 March 2000 On 6 January 2000, Environmental Services, Inc. (ESI) of Raleigh, North Carolina, conducted a cultural resource assessment survey of Lot 26A within the Yachtsman's Point property in Davidson County, North Carolina. This proposed residential lot is located along High Rock Lake in the southern potion of the county, north of the Yadkin River and west of Abbott's Creek (Figure 1). The goal of the investigation was to determine whether the property contained previously known or unrecorded cultural resources. Investigation of Lot 26A was conducted as part of a larger, intensive cultural resource assessment survey by ESI of the 100-foot buffer surrounding the proposed Yachtsman's Point development (Seibel and Smith 2000). The present study of Lot 26A included research at the North Carolina Office of State Archaeology (OSA) to determine if any cultural resource investigations have been conducted in the vicinity and if previously recorded archaeological sites lie within or directly adjacent to the property. Fieldwork consisted of a pedestrian walkover of the survey area to evaluate soil integrity and to locate archaeological sites and/or structural remains. The area under study has been severely eroded by the waters of High Rock Lake. Non-scoured areas have been disturbed and/or developed. Project Location Lot 26A is a linear strip of land covering approximately 0.71 acres. It is located 10 miles south of Lexington, North Carolina, along an unnamed stream inundated by High Rock Lake. The area subjected to survey is defined by the northern and southern property boundaries of Lot 26A, and includes a 100 foot strip adjacent to the mean high water level of High Rock Lake. The lake was created in 1927 by the damming of the Yadkin River to harness hydroelectric power. Environmental Setting The topography of the project vicinity is characterized by ridgetops that slope steeply to the shores of High Rock Lake and its tributaries. Elevations within Lot 26A range from approximately 625 feet above mean sea level (AMSL), at the high water line, to approximately 630 feet AMSL. N n s 11 I?

Lot 26A - Yachtsman's Point Project: EJ99349 Davidson County, North Carolina Date: Feb 2000 U m m rn ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC. The configuration of the existing shoreline is the result of the damming of the Yadkin River. It is characterized by a water-scoured shoreline that extends above and below the normal full pool level. In general, the shoreline consists of stony beach backed by a low, vertical bank of eroding soil. The periodic, relatively dramatic fluctuation of the lake level prevents stable vegetative growth on the shoreline. This lack of stability leaves the shoreline open to continued erosion, which results largely from boat wakes and precipitation. Waterborne debris accumulates in areas along the shoreline. Background Research Preliminary background research took place at the OSA prior to fieldwork and included the study of maps, reports, and archaeological site files. No cultural resource investigations have occurred and no previously recorded archaeological sites exist within a one mile radius of the project area. It should be noted, however, that the concurrent survey of the Yachtsman's Point shoreline encountered 17 previously unrecorded archaeological sites (Seibel and Smith 2000). All had been severely disturbed by High Rock Lake and determined ineligible for the National Register. Results of Field Investigation Field investigations consisted of a pedestrian inspection of the survey area, which provided 100% visibility along the scoured shoreline of High Rock Lake (Figure 2). A gravel road runs through the middle of the tract. Modern development includes a concrete boat ramp that crosses the scoured shoreline into the water, and two wooden boat docks. Additionally, sand and gravel have been dumped over portions of the shoreline. Vegetation outside the survey area consists mainly of an open, landscaped area of short grass and juniper shrubs with mature pine, sweet gum, and hickory along the bank. A small portion of Lot 26A is covered in secondary growth mixed pine and hardwoods, and the edge of this wooded area contains evidence of mechanical disturbance (push piles). No prehistoric or historic cultural material was encountered in the study area. Summary and Recommendations Background research found no known sites within the study area, and intensive surface inspection revealed. no evidence of historic or prehistoric sites or isolated artifacts within the lot.

Smith 13 March 2000 On 6 January 2000, Environmental Services, Inc. (EST) of Raleigh, North Carolina, conducted a cultural resource assessment survey of Lot 26A within the Yachtsman's Point property in Davidson County, North Carolina. This proposed residential lot is located along High Rock Lake in the southern potion of the county, north of the Yadkin River and west of Abbott's Creek (Figure 1). The goal of the investigation was to determine whether the property contained previously known or unrecorded cultural resources. Investigation of Lot 26A was conducted as part of a larger, intensive cultural resource assessment survey by ESI of the 100-foot buffer surrounding the proposed Yachtsman's Point development (Seibel and Smith 2000). The present study of Lot 26A included research at the North Carolina Office of State Archaeology (OSA) to determine if any cultural resource investigations have been conducted in the vicinity and if previously recorded archaeological sites lie within or directly adjacent to the property. Fieldwork consisted of a pedestrian walkover of the survey area to evaluate soil integrity and to locate archaeological sites and/or structural remains. The area under study has been severely eroded by the waters of High Rock Lake. Non-scoured areas have been disturbed and/or developed. Project Location Lot 26A is a linear strip of land covering approximately 0.71 acres. It is located 10 miles south of Lexington, North Carolina, along an unnamed stream inundated by High Rock Lake. The area subjected to survey is defined by the northern and southern property boundaries of Lot 26A, and includes a 100 foot strip adjacent to the mean high water level of High Rock Lake. The lake was created in 1927 by the damming of the Yadkin River to harness hydroelectric power. Environmental Setting The topography of the project vicinity is characterized by ridgetops that slope steeply to the shores of high Rock Lake and its tributaries. Elevations within Lot 26A range from approximately 625 feet above mean sea level (AMSL), at the high water line, to approximately 630 feet AMSL. n ?, p J ?o 50 .. . f 7r ??

Lot 26A - Yachtsman's Point Project: EJ99349 Davidson County, North Carolina Date: Feb 2000 U 0 m U> 7 W ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC. The configuration of the existing shoreline is the result of the damming of the Yadkin River. It is characterized by a water-scoured shoreline that extends above and below the normal full pool level. In general, the shoreline consists of stony beach backed by a low, vertical bank of eroding soil. The periodic, relatively dramatic fluctuation of the lake level prevents stable vegetative growth on the shoreline. This lack of stability leaves the shoreline open to continued erosion, which results largely from boat wakes and precipitation. Waterborne debris accumulates in areas along the shoreline. Background Research Preliminary background research took place at the OSA prior to fieldwork and included the study of maps, reports, and archaeological site files. No cultural resource investigations have occurred and no previously recorded archaeological sites exist within a one mile radius of the project area. It should be noted, however, that the concurrent survey of the Yachtsman's Point shoreline encountered 17 previously unrecorded archaeological sites (Seibel and Smith 2000). All had been severely disturbed by High Rock Lake and determined ineligible for the National Register. Results of Field Investigation Field investigations consisted of a pedestrian inspection of the survey area, which provided 100% visibility along the scoured shoreline of High Rock Lake (Figure 2). A gravel road runs through the middle of the tract. Modern development includes a concrete boat ramp that crosses the scoured shoreline into the water, and two wooden boat docks. Additionally, sand and gravel have been dumped over portions of the shoreline. Vegetation outside the survey area consists mainly of an open, landscaped area of short grass and juniper shrubs with mature pine, sweet gum, and hickory along the bank. A small portion of Lot 26A is covered in secondary growth mixed pine and hardwoods, and the edge of this wooded area contains evidence of mechanical disturbance (push piles). No prehistoric or historic cultural material was encountered in the study area. Summary and Recommendations Background research found no known sites within the study area, and intensive surface inspection revealed no evidence of historic or prehistoric sites or isolated artifacts within the lot. Surface visibility was excellent along the highly eroded shoreline of High Rock Lake. Based on the results of the investigation, it is our opinion that no significant sites exist within Lot 26A.
