maintenance and has recorded access casements to the nearest public right-of-way.
Drainage area for the device is less than 5 acres.
Soils have a minimum hydraulic conductivity of 0.52 inches per hour and soils report is
attached.
System captures and infiltrates the runoff from the first 1.0 inch of rainfall (1.5 inch event for
areas draining to SA waters ). Design volume and infiltration calculations attached.
j. System is sized to take into account the runoff at the ultimate built -out potential from all
surfaces draining to the system, including any off -site drainage. Calculations attached.
k. All side slopes stabilized with vegetated cover are no steeper than 3:1 (1-I: V).
1. A pretreatment device such as a catch basin, grease trap, filter strip, grassed swale or
sediment trap is provided.
Ill. Bottom of the device is covered with a layer of clean sand to an average depth o1-4 inches or

IV. INFILTRATION BASIN OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
1. After every runoff producing rainfall event and ,it least monthly inspect the nlltltratlon system for erosion,
trash accumulation, vegetative cover, rind general condition.
2. Repair eroded areas immediately, re -seed as necessary to maintain adequate vegetative cover, rilow
vegetated cover to maintain a maximum height of six inches, and remove trash as needed.
3. After every runoff producing rainfall event and at least monthly inspect the bypass, inflow and overflow
structures for blockage and deterioration. Remove any blockage and repair the structure to approved design
specifications.
4. Remove accumulated sediment From the pretreatment system and infiltration basin annually or when depth
in the pretreatment unit is reduced to 751/r of the original design depth. The system shall be restored to.the
original design depth without over -excavating. Over -excavating may enuse the required water table
separation to be reduced and may compromise the ability of the system to perform as designed. Removed
sediment shall be disposed of In an appropriate manner and shall not be handled in a 1llanner that will
adversely impact water quality (Ix. stockpiling near a stornlwatcr treatment device or stream, etc.).
A benchmark shall be established in the pretreatment unit. The benchmarywill (i unlent the original
design depth so that accurate sediment accumulation readings call be taker A ie lie wring device used to
determine the depth at the benchmark shall be such that it will give an acutrat i i ading atnd not

Project Setting
The application site is located in the Cutty Sark Subdivision in the Village of Avon, in Dare
County. The Subdivision consists of 18, approximately one-half acre lots. The Subdivision
includes approximately 1,400 feet of canal -front shoreline. Approximately 750 feet of shoreline is
located along a canal that extends from north to south, while the remainder of shoreline is part of a
smaller canal (m6re ditch -like) that joins with the north part of the larger canal and extends east to
west.
CAMA General Permit No. 36574-A authorized the construction of 500 feet of bulkhead along an
upland portion of the canal, and was recently completed. CAMA Major Permit No. 20-96 was
previously issued (and is current) for canal maintenance excavation related to this site. Although
not technically part of the Cutty Sark Subdivision, one residence has been constructed (prior to -the
creation of the subdivision) under the ownership of Wallace Beckham, partner in the Cutty Sark
Development Corp. and is located on the site. CAMA Minor Permit No. 2004-55 was recently
issued by Dare County to authorize the construction of a 76-feet long retaining wall adjacent to the
Beckham residence to stabilize a portion of shoreline, landward of existing wetlands.
Since the Subdivision will require the installation of road improvements and overall site- grading,
Stormwater and Sedimentation and Erosion Control authorizations have been issued for this work
to the-Cutty Sark Development Corp.
The upland area of the site is approximately 3 to 4 feet above the Normal Water Level (NWL.)
The land surface consists of sand covered with Spartina patens and scrub grasses and shrubs. The
majority of the canal shoreline is vegetated with this same mix of plants.
The site shoreline includes approximately 750 feet of shoreline (500 feet has recently been
stabilized with bulkhead, as referenced above). Approximately 550 feet of the remaining shoreline
is vegetated with a fringe of coastal and/or freshwater-404 wetlands. Coastal wetland species
include Juncus roemerianus and Spartina alterniflora. Approximately 90 feet of the footage is
located along the main canal and this portion of the fringe is between 2 and 5 feet in width. Some
Juncus roemerianus is located along this portion of shoreline but is landward of where identified
jurisdictional coastal wetlands have been delineated.
Evidence of shoreline erosion exists along the remaining un-stabilized portions of the shoreline of
the canal. Portions of this shoreline are being undercut and have eroded, resulting in some clumps
of existing vegetation washing off into the canal. The rear portion of the existing residence is
within 25 feet of the erosion escarpment.
The main canal width is approximately 40 feet. The water depths within the main canal are an
average of 5 feet. Water depths two feet offshore are approximately 2 to 3 feet in depth. The canal
bottom consists predominately of sand with little, or no visible organic material. No significant

areas of submerged aquatic vegetation were observed along the shoreline during the application
site visit. The waters of this canal carry the same classification as the Pamlico Sound. The North
Carolina Environmental Management Commission has designated these waters as `SA' waters
(suitable for shellfish propagation and harvesting); however, the waters in this vicinity are closed
to the commercial harvest of shellfish. During the site investigation visit, no shellfish were
observed along the water bottom in the vicinity of this project. Some juvenile finfish were
observed along the shoreline.
The Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) has designated these waters as Public Trust Area and
Estuarine Water Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC). In addition, under the designation of
the CRC, the Coastal Shoreline AEC extends in a contour 75 feet landward of the NWL. The CRC
has also designated coastal wetland vegetated areas, like the one described above, as a Coastal
Wetland AEC. The North Carolina Marine Fisheries and Wildlife Resources Commissions classify
the waters of the Pamlico Sound as Coastal Waters.
Project Description
The applicant proposes to stabilize the remaining portion of shoreline along the southeth-most
portion of the main canal with vinyl bulkhead. The bulkhead alignment is proposed directly
adjacent to -the -escarpment, at or near the NWL. This bulkhead will extend approximately 120
feet -to the -south where the boat ramp will be constructed,'then continue an additional 107 feet to
the south, and include a 10-feet long return wall.
A second bulkhead section is proposed at the north end of the main canal at the rear of the existing
residence, and will extend approximately 144 feet to the north. This portion of bulkhead will
connect to the above referenced retaining wall that will be placed between the existing coastal
wetland fringe and the upland in this area behind the Beckham residence.
Both proposed bulkhead sections will connect to the existing bulkhead structure. Both sections
will be located approximately at the NWL, and neither structure will result in any fill of vegetated
wetlands. The deadmenlbackfill tieback area -will extend landward approximately 15 feet to the
east and will be backfilled with clean sand/fill material, some of which is currently available on -
site from previous maintenance excavation work.
The application also includes a proposal to construct a 10-feet wide concrete boat ramp with a 3-
feet wide courtesy dock along the north side of the ramp. The overall ramp length will be 40 feet,
and the ramp will extend approximately 5 feet beyond the proposed bulkhead alignment into the
canal. It is. estimated the ramp will extend about 22 feet beyond the NWL. Eighteen feet of the
ramp will be -above the NWL. A 10-feet wide by approximately 200-feet gravel drive will connect
the proposed ramp -to the adjacent asphalt road (Cutty Sark Drive). This drive will be located
along a 15-feet wide common easement. No parking area is proposed. Since the ramp facility is
proposed for the subdivision, it is anticipated that the parking will be limited to the individual on-

site lots in the subdivision.
The proposed courtesy dock will extend 8 feet beyond the proposed bulkhead alignment, and will
shade an area of approximately 27 feet by 3 feet, most of this area will be within the `basin'
portion of the ramp structure. The structure will be a total length of 32 feet and will not extend
beyond one-fourth of the canal width.
The applicant expects, between the bulkhead construction and the general Iot grading, that the
entire Estuarine Shoreline -(75-feet contour) will'be graded and has estimated that a total of 57,930-
square feet of upland area will be disturbed in this process.
Anticipated Impacts
• The proposed bulkhead alignment will approximate the NWL and will result -in the filling of
little or no Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area.
• The bulkhead alignment will not result in. the filling of any wetlands.
• Since water depths close to the shoreline are 2 to 3 feet in depth, and the proposed
alignment is to approximate the NWL, the alignment of the bulkhead structure should -not
significantly alter the shallow'water habitat bottom adjacent to the existing shoreline.
• The boat ramp will result in the filling of 220 square feet of water beyond the NWL,
although only about 50 to 60 square feet of area is beyond the proposed bulkhead alignment.
• The boat ramp structure will not result in the excavation or filling of any wetlands.
• The proposed ramp and access drive will result in approximately 2,000 square feet of
impervious area. Approximately 400 square feet will be within the Estuarine Shoreline of
the Pamlico Sound.
• The overall land disturbance within the Estuarine Shoreline, associated with the tieback area
and site grading is estimated to be 57,930 square feet.
• An inspection of mapping data on cultural resources revealed that no archaeological or
cultural resource findings had been recorded on the available maps in the immediate vicinity
of this project. However, these maps have not been updated in at least 10-years and the
potential for the existence of cultural or historical resources is possible.
• The proposed shoreline stabilization structure and filling activity will result in a temporary
increase in turbidity levels along this portion of this waterway, and 'possibly within other
off -site drainage areas. The proposed structure will reduce the erosion of the shoreline of

this lot, and in turn reduce the long-term turbidity associated with un-stabilized shorelines.
• This project's bulkhead and retaining wall alignment location has been planned to avoid
filling of any wetlands.
• The proposed boat ramp and courtesy dock will not interfere with any (adjacent) riparian
access, public trust, or navigational concerns along this canal.
