4. Proposed Activity
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Provide a detailed description of the proposed activity including its purpose and include the type of equipment to be used:*
The proposed activities include the construction of four separate single family
residences on the existing lots 3,4,5 & lot 4 Secl . The proposed driveway will be
used by all the existing lots and will be constructed using geotextile fabric and #57
stone to limit the amount of impervious surfaces on the properties. A 3' by 360' long
wood walkway will be re -constructed along the existing bulkhead and additional
wood walkways from each residence will provide access to the existing piers and
boat slips. The 360' long walkway along the bulkhead was destroyed by hurricanes
over several years, therefore the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management
has requested the walkway be included in the updated permit process. Types of
equipment include: backhoe, small tractor, dump truck.

Comments:
D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project.*
The proposed houses and open decks have been limited to impacts within Zone 2
only. Any impacts in zone 1 are for wood slatted walkways that will provide access to
the e)asting piers and boat slips. The eAsting driveway will be shared with the
adjacent properties and the new driveway construction is designed to use pervious
materials to minimize surface runoff. Each house is designed with gutters directed to
cisterns for irrigation and grey water use in houses.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.*
W

The houses and decks will be constructed on pilings, therefore grading and land
disturbance will be temporary during the construction phase. Gutters will be installed
on all houses to collect roof runoff and directed to cisterns that will be used for
irrigation and grey water use in the houses. The walkways and open decks will be a
wood open slatted construction. The new driveway areas will be constructed using
geotextile fabric and #57 stone to eliminate or minimize impervious surfaces. In
addition, the runoff from the driveway will directed towards the vegetated side yards
for additional treatment.

Enlargement of maps beyond the scale of mapping can cause

Coordinate System: Web Mercator (EPSG:3857)
Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator
projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts
distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the
Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more
accurate calculations of distance or area are required.

Geewax Ocracoke
Low Dens! ty Subdivision Permit
Hyde Coun{y
Dear Mr. Geewax:
The Washington Regional Office received a complete Stormwater Management Permit
Application for Geewax Ocracoke, a 4 lot residential subdivision, on April 2, 2013. Staff review
of the plans and specifications has determined that the pro11'ect, as proposed, will co
with
the Stormwater Regulations set forth in Session Law 2008-211 and Title 15A NCAC 2H.1000.
We are forwarding Permit No. SW7130404, dated May 8, 2013, for the construction of the
subject project.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until rescinded and shall be subject to
the conditions and limitations as specified therein, and does not supercede any other agency
permit that may be required.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the
right to request an adiudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following
receipt of this permit. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to
Chapter 150E of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative
Hearings, P.O. Drawer 27447, Raleigh, NC 27611-7447. Unless such demands are made this
permit shall be final and binding.
If you have any questions, or need additional information concerning this matter, please contact
either Scott Vinson at (252) 946-W1.
Sincerely, .
