SUBJECT: Modification to State Permit #42-00, Issued to the NC Coastal Federation *and
NC Sea Grant
DATE: April 3, 2002
Please find attached a modification to the aforementioned CAMA Major Permit. As you may
recall, this permit was issued on March 22, 2000, as a blanket authorization to allow for the
installation of "experimental" shoreline stabilization projects. The intent is to document the
effectiveness of these methods over the traditional vertical bulkhead. A brief description of
the current proposal and site characteristics follows:
APPLICANT:
Lupton, Green, Laws, Best
Pine Knoll Shores
Carteret County
Rover # L040216A
SITE CHARACTERISTICS:
Water. Quality - SA
Shellfish - No Visible Oyster Resource, Open
PNA - No
Land Use Plan Classification - Conservation
This site encompasses four residential properties adjacent to Bogue Sound within the town of Pine
Knoll Shores. The property owners have entered into a cost sharing agreement with the NC Coastal
Federation to install an alternative shoreline stabilization project along the eroding marsh line and
eroding shoreline bordering their property. There is an existing pier and dock on the Green property.
The shoreline along the first property and a portion of the second (146 and 148 Oakleaf drive) is very
sandy, and void of shoreline vegetation. The remainder of the project area has a varying fringe of
S artina alterniflora, with a narrow fringe ofS artina Patens and Iva Frutescens at the high ground

interface. The escarpment of this marsh varies from approximately 2" to 6". The substrate in this area
is indicative of a high-energy system, with a very coarse sand substrate composition. There is no
visible evidence of a shellfish resource within the alignment of the proposed rock; neither is there an
SAV resource within this area, although SAV beds do begin 100' or more north of the proposed
alignment. A wooded wetland ravine extends between 148 and 150 Oakleaf Drive, draining into .the.
sound.
PROPOSAL:
The proposal is to construct a stone (granite) sill, approximately 450' in length, with a bottom width
varying from 8' to 11' on average, and 1.5:1 side slopes. The top height will approximate the nhw_
elevation, ±3.2' above substrate. The project will begin immediately west of a bulkhead on the
property to the east. The rock structure will have 3 drop-down areas with 5' bottom widths to
approximately 1' above substrate level. The first drop-down will be at the beginning of the structure,
bordering the adjacent bulkhead.
The landward toe of the rock will be located 4' to 14' from the nhw contour ofthe eroding, unvegetated
beach (approximately 125'). The proposal includes planting marsh species within this 1650 square
feet area, but no fill is proposed for this project. The remainder of the proposed structure, along the
vegetated shoreline, will approximate the marsh escarpment, varying from 15' to 80' waterward of the
nhw contour.
The proposed methodology is to carry the rock across the marsh utilizing mats
POTENTIAL IMPACTS:
Direct impacts will be from the loss of sandy bottom area in the amount of approximately 4275 sf.
This impact will be from the rock itself. Approximately 1650 sf of unvegetated beach will be planted
with marsh vegetation. Turbidity should not be a major concern with this proposal due to the lack of
fill material and bottom disturbance. If the project works as intended, the existing marsh along the
shoreline will cease eroding. The potential for impact from this project comes from the methodology,
given the weight of the equipment combined with the rock. Extreme care must be taken to prevent
compaction of the existing marsh.
****?`* Please see the field report dated December 23, 1999, associated with permit
#42-00, for additional information. Included in that report were standard conditions to
be incorporated into all 30 of these modifications. For any additional precautions or
conditions you feel should be included, please comment directly to Doug Huggett.

Dear Mr. Jones:
Attached is a site-specific proposal to perform work in compliance with CAMA Permit Number 42-00
issued to the North Carolina Coastal Federation/ NC Sea Grant for innovative shoreline stabilization
projects. The work consists of-
1 ) Construction of 450 linear feet of stone sill for shoreline stabilization and preservation of
existing marsh and planted marsh grass (see attached plan and specifications);
2) Planting of approximately 1,650 square feet of Spartina alterniflora and S artina patens. No
new fill be utilized in this project.
In accordance with the requirements for submittal of requests for permit modifications under Permit #42-
00, please find:
1) Completed Certification and Permission to Enter on Land (#6) from the CAMA application;
2) Completed design, specifications sheet, and site map, in accordance with the permitted format;
3) Notification of adjacent property owner forms with USPO certified mailing receipt;
4) $100 application for permit modification;
5) Copy of deed or other evidence of ownership.
During the construction phases of the project, a turbidity curtain will contain all work within the active
construction area. Timber mats will be used as temporary access ramps for the purpose of transporting
stone to the final sill locati
