Major Modification - CAMA Major Permit No. 12-09
Bal Gra Harbor
C/O ALF FCLG Bal Gra Harbor, LLC
Bertie County
Project setting
Bay Design Group, P.C., on behalf of ALF FCLG Bal Gra Harbor, LLC, has submitted
the attached application as a Major Modification to CAMA Major Permit No. 12-09. The
modification is to convert a 1,316-acre farm land and wooded wetland tract into several distinct
residential communities with a maximum of 2,770 residential units, recreational areas, public
boat launch facilities, including a 234-slip open water marina with amenities, a community town
center, hotel with pier access, and a central wastewater system. The project site is located off
Bal Gra Road (SR 1501) at the mouth of the Chowan River and Salmon Creek, near Merry Hill
in Bertie County, North Carolina.
CAMA Major Permit No. 12-09, issued on 22 January 2009, authorized the development
of a bulkhead and riprap revetment shoreline stabilization adjacent uplands on the Chowan
River, 13 groins, riprap wetland protection, and a 6' wide shore side boardwalk, none of which
have been constructed to date. This development will be located north of the existing housing
development at the end of Bal Gra Road, which is the only section of upland shoreline on the Bal
Gra property. This area is predominately a pine plantation with mature mixed hardwoods
located on the bluff shoreline for a distance of approximately 500' landward. The river shore is
an approximate 35' sand beach in most areas that terminates at an approximate 24' high erosion
escarpment. The beach area is sporadically vegetated with upland grass and herbaceous shrubs.
The project is located on a 1,316 acre tract of farm land and wooded wetlands located on
the northwest side of the confluence of Salmon Creek and the Chowan River. Approximately
2,918' of the property's shoreline is fairly straight on the Chowan River, and ±19,014' of
shoreline is winding along Salmon Creek. The property surrounds an approximate 23-lot
housing development that consists of single family dwellings with private piers at the end of Bal
Gra Road that includes approximately 2,400' of Chowan River waterfront. Near the mouth of
Salmon Creek, the property also abuts an approximate 14-acre private piece of property that has
a small building near shore and a shore side dock with dockage for two boats on a point located
just downstream of the existing boat ramp on Bal Gra property. The adjacent properties on the
upstream side of both the Chowan River and Salmon Creek are agricultural, undeveloped and of
similar forested vegetation and topography as the project tract.
Existing features on the property include dirt roads that go through a pine plantation and
relic agriculture fields to a small boat ramp with an associated pier access on Salmon Creek.
There exists wooden debris, including pilings and stringers from a relic structure, in Salmon
Creek immediately downstream of the ramp. The water depth at the end of the ramp is
approximately 1.6' below normal water level (NWL) and is situated in a cove off the lower end
of Salmon Creek. The water depths near the ramp area are shallow with 'a soft, flocculent bottom
and a heavy presence of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV). Other vegetation near the ramp
approach and adjacent the existing ramp pier access includes upland grasses and weeds and
herbaceous wetland vegetation such as pickerel weed and arrow arum. The majority of the entire
tract is wooded and the cleared land on the property was farmed in row crops in the recent past.
This tract ranges from -1' in elevation in the hardwood swamp forest to approximately 24' above
NWL on the uplands with loam and sandy loam type soils.

The remaining portion of waterfront property on the tract along the Chowan River and
Salmon Creek is bottomland hardwood swamp of varying widths. The wetland trees consist
primarily of bald cypress, red maple, sweet gum, black gum and water tupelo. The swamp has
several wetland fingers that extend northward from the creek into the property. A plat of the
property that identifies the boundaries of the approximate 348 acres of Section 404 Wetlands of
the Clean Water Act on the property was signed by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers staff on 18
June 2008 along with a jurisdictional determination of the wetlands. There are no Coastal
Wetlands as defined by the Coastal Area Management Act on the property.
Staff of the Division of Coastal Management with the aid of the N.C. Marine Patrol
conducted a water depth assessment of Salmon Creek on 8 June 2006. Water depths were
measured throughout the proposed marina location near the mouth of Salmon Creek. The water
depths measured in June 2006 appear to be consistent with the information provided by Bay
Design Goup, P.C. The slips will be located 5' to 6' below NWL.
Several SAV surveys revealed that SAVs exist within the footprint of the project area in
both the Chowan River and in Salmon Creek. The SAV surveys can be found within this
application or the Environmental Assessment submitted by Bay Design Group, P.C. on behalf of
ALF FCLG Bal Gra Harbor, LLC. Seven SAV surveys were conducted during summer and
early fall months of 2006 through 2008 in which Coontail and Wild Celery were the predominant
species found in both Salmon Creek and the Chowan River in shallow water up to approximately
the 4' depth contour.
There are five documented archeological sites on the property and a professional
archeological assessment was conducted by Tidewater Atlantic Research, Inc. as part of the
aforementioned Environmental Assessment. The Chowan River and Salmon Creek in this area
are classified B-NSW and C-NSW, respectively, by the Environmental Management
Commission and is closed to shellfish harvesting.
Project description
The applicant proposes to construct a 234-slip open water commercial marina on the
north shore of Salmon Creek near its mouth into the mouth of the Chowan River. The marina
will consist of two main accesses from high ground elevated 5' over wooded wetlands
transitioning to piers over Salmon Creek that access a 1,710' long by 10' wide shore side dock
with 12 perpendicular piers extending into Salmon Creek, each terminating in a 78' long by 8'
wide T-head platform. A total of 110 finger piers and 100 tie pilings are proposed to provide
dockage for a total of 234 boats (210 permanent slips and 24 transient slips). The two 10' wide
marina accesses over wetlands will each be ±340' and ±408' long. Once these accesses reach
below NWL of Salmon Creek, they become 115' and 78' long piers and maintain 10' widths.
These piers span over SAV to the shoreside dock, which is located immediately waterward of the
extent of SAV, and all dock, finger piers, and slips are located in an area void of SAV. Twelve
gangways will provide access from the shoreside dock to the remaining portion of a floating
marina. Twelve piers labeled as docks A-L will extend from the shore side dock into Salmon
Creek to serve as access to the boat slips, and they are described in the table below.

The finger piers are paired across from each other on each pier and the nearest finger pier
pair to the shore side dock on each pier is 10' wide, and all other finger piers are 3' wide. The
permanent slips will be 35' long and range in width from 10' to 20', the majority being 15' wide
to accommodate 35' to 80' long vessels. The applicant is proposing a total of 24 transient slips to
be located at the waterward end of each of the 12 T-head piers. There are no proposed tie pilings
at the location of the transient slips. All water depths in the proposed slip areas are over 4' and
average approximately 5' deep. A sewage pump out station will be located at the terminal end of
Dock B. The only other services proposed at the marina are potable water, marine power, and
communications utilities.
The applicant is proposing to replace the existing 34' long by 5' wide pier access on the
east side of the boat ramp, construct a new 34' long by 5' wide pier access on the west side of the
ramp, and they are not proposing any improvements to the existing concrete ramp. These two
ramp access piers will extend over SAV. The water depth at the end of the ramp is 1.6'. There is
a proposed asphalt parking area located on uplands outside the Coastal Shoreline Area of
Environmental Concern (AEC) to provide parking for 10 vehicles with trailers, each space being
45'long by 10'. wide. There is also a marina club house proposed adjacent the ramp parking area
to serve patrons with toilet and shower facilities. The applicant is also proposing removal of
relic woody debris from Salmon Creek located immediately downstream of the boat ramp.
The Creek Club will be located on uplands outside the Coastal Shoreline AEC
approximately 2.5 miles upstream from the mouth of Salmon Creek. An unpaved pathway
through wetlands allows access from the Creek Club to a proposed wooden access over wetlands
to a shore side floating dock. The applicant is proposing improvements, including impervious
surface coverage, to the relic pathways through wetlands in this area. The Creek Club access
will extend 92' long by 10' wide over wetlands, 4.2' long by 5' wide over Salmon Creek as an
articulating gangway, and terminate into a 10' long by 60' wide T-head floating platform. There
are no SAV in this portion of the deep water creek. There are no slips proposed on this pier
structure, and the water depths average approximately 19' at the waterward end of the platform.

The proposed pier structure will extend approximately 14' out into the approximate 135' wide
portion of Salmon Creek in this area. The intent of this pier structure is to provide canoe and
kayak access to the creek.
The proposed Canoe House will be located on uplands outside the Coastal Shoreline
AEC approximately a half mile upstream from the Creek Club on Salmon Creek. A 128' long by
10' wide access is proposed from the upland transition over wetlands that will extend 8' over
Salmon Creek and terminate to an E shaped docking facility for mooring of 6 boats. The
platform will be 8'. long by 48' wide, three finger piers will be 20' long by 4' wide, and there will
be 4 tie pilings. Small boats, canoes, and kayaks will utilize the slip areas that are located in
approximate 3' water depth. The pier structure will extend 31' into Salmon Creek, which is 173'
wide in this area. It is unknown if SAV are located in the slip areas of this docking facility.
On the upland portion of the project, the applicant proposes 1,600 lots, ranging from 0.15
acre to 1 acre consisting of single family lots, townhomes, and condominium units, impacting
797 acres. A total of up to 2,770 units are proposed, up to 250 hotel rooms, a series of roads, and
150,000 ft' of retail and office uses. The community is planned to be mixed use and is described
in the applicant's narrative as the Beach Village, Salmon Creek Village, and the Marina Village.
The construction of their own wastewater treatment facility is proposed as well as storm water
ponds. The uplands on the property will be graded in preparation for roads and lot development
and the excavated material to form approximately 29 acres of infiltration ponds and an
approximate 14-acre amenity pond will be used onsite to enhance topography. The applicant is
proposing three bridge crossings over a total of 1,201 ft' of wetlands.
The proposed hotel on the property will be located outside the Coastal Shoreline AEC
adjacent the Chowan River just south of the housing development at the end of Bal Gra Road. A
pier is proposed on the waterfront adjacent the hotel. This 10' wide pier will start at the
landward edge of wooded wetlands and extend over wetlands for 260' to serve as access to the
pier portion extending 240' into the Chowan River and terminating with a 22' long by 52' wide
T-head platform. The platform dimensions include the area of roof drip line of a proposed
covered shelter over the platform. There are no slips proposed on this pier structure, water
depths at the end of the platform are approximately 2' below NWL, and the entire pier over
Chowan River will be constructed over SAV.
Anticipated impacts
The project as proposed will result in the shading of approximately 68,013 ft' of Salmon
Creek and Chowan River bottom, 5,814 ft2 of which is over SAV. Approximately 12,280 ft2 of
Section 404 wetlands will be shaded in association with the construction of the marina, boat
ramp access piers, hotel pier, Creek Club pier, and Canoe House pier. The project will usurp
approximately 11.6 acres of public trust area within the north side of Salmon Creek. The two
pier accesses of the proposed marina will be located over SAV; however, the majority of the
marina, including all proposed slips, will be located waterward of the extent of SAV. The boat
ramp access piers and the hotel pier will be located over SAV. A total of 450 ft2 of impervious
surface will be located within the Coastal Shoreline Area of Environmental Concern as a result
of the boat ramp approach. This equates to 0.057% impervious surface resulting from an
existing boat ramp within the Coastal Shoreline Area of Environmental Concern (AEC), and
Major Modification - CAMA Major Permit No. 12-09
Bal Gra Harbor
C/O ALF FCLG Bal Gra Harbor, LLC
Bertie County
Page 5 of 5
24.38% impervious surface coverage of the entire tract of 1,316 acres. Approximately 797 acres
will be disturbed, 562 acres of which will be cleared forest, for development on the property.
Besides shading impact from the aforementioned piers, wetland impacts on the property will
consist of three areas totaling 1,201 ft' that will be impacted by shading from the construction of
three bridge crossings, all of which are located outside of any AEC.
Localized turbidity will result from the construction of any of the piers at the docking
facility. The marina structure itself meets the quarter width rule; however, the transient slips are
proposed on the waterward end of the marina's T-head structures. Temporary turbidity is also
expected during removal of woody debris from the proposed areas near the boat ramp.

Ms. Kimberly Hedrick August 25, 2010
Major CAMA Permit Application - Resubmittal Page 4 of 4
12. Sheet 13 - The square footage for the platform has been changed to 1 144 sq. ft.
to reflect the drip line of the roof.
Other Comments on Proiect Narrative
1. On page 5, 1. Under Other Water Access Improvements, the depth of water at the
end of the ramp has been corrected to indicate an approximate depth of 1.6 feet.
2. On page 6, 2. Under Pedestrian pier at the hotel, it has been noted that this pier
will be available for use by the public, subdivision residents and hotel guests.
3. Table Two has been changed to reflect the impervious area that includes the
existing concrete boat ramp.
4. The "Unpaved Upland Road to be Improved" leading to the Creek Club is some
12 to 15 feet wide and extends through jurisdictional wetlands (Sheet 15).
Development will include improvement of the road surface with paving or
improvement to an upgraded gravel surface but no additional widening of the
road or impacts on wetlands (Page 7).
5. On page 9, Figure 2 is not referenced because it refers the project phases as
defined by the stormwater management master plan as described in the Narrative.
6. Pages 17 & 1.8, Methods of Construction, is expanded to include the marina,
access walkways through wetlands, installation of floating docks and jetting
versus driving of piles. Also, a sentence has been added to note that the
temporary mats for construction will be removed in a timely fashion.
7. Justification for piers 10 feet wide is provided for the hotel pier, marina access
piers, and access piers at the Canoe House and Creek Club facilities.
8. We have deleted the expansion of the boat ramp and the associated impacts on
wetlands. The narrative has been revised in a number of places to reflect this
change in the project scope.
9. Page 4 - Clarifies that the two walkways over the wetlands to the marina are
constructed of fixed timber and that Docks A - L are floating and are connected
to the fixed timber Shoreside Dock by an articulated gangway.
Thank you for your timely review of this application.
Please call me if you have any questions or need additional information.
Sincerely,

Rev. August 25, 2010
INTRODUCTION
The Bal Gra Harbor project is located on a 1,316 ac tract of land commonly known as Bal Gra Farms in Bertie
County, North Carolina. The property is bordered on two sides by the Chowan River (Albemarle Sound) and Salmon
Creek. The site can be accessed by Highway 17 and Bal Gra Farm Road (S.R. 1501) which intersects Highway 17
approximately 1.9 miles west of the Chowan River Bridge (See Sheet 1).
The property will be developed in accordance with a planned unit development (PUD) approved by the Bertie County
Commissioners in 2007. The project will include several distinct residential communities with a maximum of 2,770
residential units, recreational areas, public boat launch facilities and a community town center with urbanized
commercial and residential development focused around a 10 ac pond excavated into high ground (Sheet 2). The
public water access components of the project include a floating dock marina located along the north shore of
Salmon Creek, a public pedestrian pier located on the Chowan River shoreline adjacent to a hotel development site,
and the Creek Club and Canoe House facilities located upstream in Salmon Creek that will provide water access for
small craft including kayaks and canoes. A major component of the project is the avoidance and minimization of
impacts to the unique environmental resources of the site. Over 347 ac of wetlands and riparian buffers will be set
aside for both active and passive recreational and interpretive opportunities. Protection and conservation will be
accomplished by holding from private ownership the large areas of wetlands, forests and common areas.
Site Topography and Hydrography - Major terrain features on the property include spurs, draws, and hills.
Elevations on the upland property range from -1 ft to +24 ft NAVD 88. Approximately 95 percent of the property has
slopes of less than 8 percent.
There have been two hydrographic surveys conducted of Salmon Creek. The first survey was performed in July
2006 and encompassed the proposed marina envelope. Bottom elevations (depths) measured ranged from -2 ft to -
13 ft NAVD 88. A second survey was conducted in May 2007 and covered all of Salmon Creek from end of first

survey westward to the western limits of the property. Bottom elevations in Salmon Creek ranged from -4 ft to -26 ft
NAVD 88. Hydrographic conditions in Salmon Creek are shown by the contours on Sheets 3 through 8.
Site Soils - Soils data for the site was obtained from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). The site consists of
a range of soil types and can be generally described as well to poorly drained loam and sandy loam.
Historically, the project site has been utilized for agriculture. Major cultivation ceased operations in the early 1990's.
There is still limited cultivation of peppers and clary sage on the site
Wetlands - The Bal Gra property contains approximately 348 acres of wetlands, 339 acres of which are considered
"riparian" wetlands. A jurisdictional determination was made for the wetlands on the development site by the U. S.
Army Corps of Engineers in June 2008. A copy of that determination is attached to this application along with the
wetlands survey map executed by the Corps of Engineers representative.
Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) - SAV are present in the shallow water areas along the shoreline of Salmon
Creek and the Chowan River. Seven SAV surveys were conducted in July 2006, September 2006, May 2007,
August 2007, September 2007, July 2008, and August 2008.
The approximate areas of SAV as surveyed from July 2006 to August 2008 are summarized in Table 1.

Please note that Sheet 5 may show larger areas of SAV than the actual survey. The purpose was to show the general area and
extents of the SAV patches instead of each individual patch.
Cultural Resources - The proposed marina project is not located within a designated Historic District. There are
documented activities along the creek in the seventeenth century when Nathanial Batts established a trading post on
the south side of Salmon Creek (TAR 2006).
Bal Gra Harbor - Bertie County, North Carolina July 2010; Rev August 25, 2010

Tidewater Atlantic Research, Inc. conducted a remote sensing survey of the proposed marina site in Salmon Creek
during August of 2006. Analysis of the remote sensing data confirmed that no submerged cultural resources are
present within the proposed marina area. A total of 21 magnetic and/or acoustic anomalies were identified along the
shoreline and within the footprint of the proposed floating docks. All of the anomalies appeared to be modern debris
such as fish and crab traps, small diameter rods, wire rope, chain or small boat anchors. None of the anomalies
exhibited a signature characteristic of significant submerged cultural resources. This information is detailed in the
report prepared by Tidewater Atlantic Research, Inc., titled "An Underwater Archeological Remote Sensing and
Terrestrial Survey of a Proposed Marina Site at the Bal Gra Marina development on Salmon Creek, Bertie County,
North Carolina", dated August 28, 2006.
In March and April 2007, archaeologists affiliated with the James River Institute for Archaeology, Inc. (JRIA)
conducted a Phase I cultural resources survey of approximately 1,000 ac at the Bal-Gra Property located in Bertie
County, North Carolina. The Phase I survey was designed to identify all historic properties present within the
approximate 1,000 ac project area and obtain sufficient information to make recommendations about the potential
eligibility of each resource for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. To accomplish this, both
documentary research and archaeological field testing was conducted at a level in compliance with the Secretary of
the Interior's standards for cultural resources surveys. JRIA also completed Phase II significance evaluation surveys
on five sites identified in the Phase I survey that were recommended as potentially eligible for listing on the National
Register of Historic Places.
The North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources has recommended that a mitigation plan be developed for the
eligible sites in consultation with the Office of State Archaeology and implemented prior to commencement of
construction activities. It is expected that preparation and approval of the mitigation plan prior to construction
activities will be a condition of the Major CAMA Permit.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project will include several distinct residential communities with a maximum of 2,770 residential units,
recreational areas, public boat launch facilities and a community town center with urbanized commercial and

large areas of wetlands, forests and common areas. The measured impacts for each project component are
summarized in Table 2.
Every effort will be made to make the marina facilities conform to the Clean Marinas Program. Portions of the
floating docks that will be in contact with the water will be manufactured of inert vinyl materials. Guide and mooring
piles will be of steel or concrete construction eliminating leaching of heavy metal chemicals inherent in treated wood
products. A sewage pumpout station will be provided and the marina will have strict operating rules that will prohibit
discharge of sewage and other substances into state-owned submerged lands and public trust waters.
The major components of the project are described as follows:
Open Water Farina in Salmon Creek - The open water marina will be located on the north side of Salmon Creek.
The extent of the marina is defined by the -5 ft contour (5 ft depth) and the 25 percent rule [NCAC
7H.0208(b)(6)(J)(iii)j, set forth by the Coastal Resources Commission (CRC), which limits the extent of the docks to
25 percent of the width of an existing water body.
The marina will consist of floating docks for 210 permanent slips and 24 transient slips along the north shoreline of
Salmon Creek (Sheet 3). Floating docks will be located in naturally occurring deep water in depths from 5 to 6 ft in
Salmon Creek waterward of SAV beds which have been identified in water depths less than 4 ft along the shoreline.
Access to the marina on Salmon Creek will be provided by two fixed timber walkways (10 ft wide) that connect the
marina to the existing boat ramp and to the upland development at the Marina Park area (Sheet 3). Twelve (12)
articulated ramps will provide access from the walkway to the floating docks. The ramps will make the boat docks
handicap accessible during periods when river water levels are at or above the normal level. The timber walkway will
be built above the waterline of treated timber materials waterward of the SAV beds that typically extend out to the -4
ft contour. The total area of fixed timber access structures to be built over the water is approximately 20,420 sf. The
area of walkways to be built over existing SAV bed is 1,728 sf and 6,930 sf over wetlands. Walkways will be
elevated a minimum of 5 ft (to bottom of structural members) above the water line to permit sunlight to reach SAV
beneath the walkways and to permit small boats, canoes and kayaks to access the shallow water areas (public trust
waters) between the main walkway and the shoreline. Heavy timber construction will be used with spans between
piles of 14 to 15 ft opposed to 6 to 8 ft spans with light timber construction reducing the number of piles in the water
by nearly half. Total area of floating docks, including gangways, main walkways and fingers, will be 40,120 sf.

Pier widths of 10 feet are justified because the pier will be used to provide access to over 200 boat slips and during
high use periods will transport people, supplies, wheel barrows, trash containers and golf cart type service and
people carrying carts to and from the upland areas to the marina. Limiting pier widths to 6 feet will create a safety
problem when people and equipment and golf carts are using the piers simultaneously. Golf type carts require at
least 4 feet clear for passage in each direction.
Wetland impacts will consist of clearing trees over an area sufficient to allow construction of walkways through the
forested wetland areas. An area 25 ft wide by 620 ft (0.36 ac) will be cleared for walkway construction. No
excavation or filling of wetlands is proposed for construction of walkways. Grubbing will not be permitted in the
wetlands. Placement of piles will be staggered to avoid stumps and roots.
The boat slips on the floating docks in the marina will be equipped with shore power, potable water, and
communication utilities supplied at utility pedestals that serve each slip. A sewer pumpout device will be provided at
the marina for use by marina patrons and the public. Steel pipe or concrete piles will be used for guide and mooring
piles in the marina. This, together with the polyethylene floats used for the floating docks, makes the floating dock
system nearly inert in terms of introduction of chemicals into the water column.
Other Water Access Improvements
1. Public boat launching ramp - The existing public launching ramp is located at the head of the creek that
separates the point on the Chowan River and the mouth of Salmon Creek (Sheet 10). Sheet 10 shows the existing
launching ramp and timber dock. The existing ramp is approximately 15 ft wide and 60 ft long extending from
approximately the +4 contour to below the water line. There is a timber dock on the east side of the ramp that
extends from the land approximately 34 ft into the water. Water depths at the end of the ramp are approximately 1.6
feet.
It is proposed to replace the existing timber dock with a dock that is five feet wide while retaining the same length of
50 ft. Also, an identical timber dock will be placed on the west side of the public boat launching ramp and will be of
the same dimensions. The new timber docks will cover approximately 170 sf of public trust waters each. The docks
will be constructed of light timber construction and will require the placement of 16 treated timber piles in the water
for each. The limited depth of water at the end of the boat ramp will limit the size of boats that are able to launch at
this location. Details of the existing and proposed boat access are shown in Sheet 11 & Sheet 12. Parking for boats
and trailers at the ramp site will be limited to 10 spaces.
Bal Gra Harbor - Bertie County, North Carolina July 2010; Rev August 25, 2010
Major CAMA Permit Application - Project Narrative Page 5 of 19
2. Pedestrian pier at the hotel - A hotel complex is proposed as part of Phase II (Marina Village) of the upland
development (Sheet 13). The facility will be located adjacent to the Chowan River portion of the shoreline north of
the point the separates the river from Salmon Creek. A pedestrian pier is proposed as part of the hotel complex to
access to the water. This pier will be available for use by the public, subdivision residents, and hotel guests. The
pier will consist of a timber walkway 10 ft wide and extending 500 ft east to a 1,000 square ft platform located 240 ft
from the normal water line. The pier will be constructed with railings and a deck elevation high enough above the
water level to discourage its use as a boat docking facility. No boat mooring facilities will be provided on the pier or
platform. A covered shelter is proposed as part of the 50' x 20' platform. The covered shelter will have a 1 foot drip
line on all sides giving it a total dimension of 52' x 22' and 1,144 sf. The pier will require installation of some 88
treated timber piles into the bottom of the Chowan River and the wetlands between the river and the hotel site.
A pier 10 feet wide is justified for safety concerns because it is a public pedestrian pier and will be subject to intense
public use during certain periods. The shelter at the end of the pier will be used for public and private gatherings or
events. Limiting the pier width to 6 feet will create a safety problem during the high use periods.
The river bottom in the areas of the proposed pier is covered with SAV. The pier and platform will be elevated a
minimum of 5 ft (to bottom structural member) above the water level to permit sunlight to penetrate the water to the
SAV. A total of 3,544 sf of pier will be constructed over SAV. The access walkway will extend through the forested
wetlands along the shoreline requiring clearing of an area 25 feet wide and 260 feet long, approximately 6,500 sf
(0.15 ac). Pile installation will be adjusted to avoid trees and roots so that no grubbing will be required in the
wetlands. Heavy timber construction will be utilized for the pier to minimize the number of treated timber piles in the
water.
3. The Creek Club - The Creek Club site is located on high ground on the northern shoreline of Salmon Creek
located about 2.5 upstream from the mouth of Salmon Creek (Sheet 2). The club will be private for the use of Bal
Gra residents and guests and will include a pavilion and a dock in Salmon Creek for patrons of the Creek Village
Cabins. A floating dock will be constructed at the edge of the creek to provide access for kayaks and canoes. No
overnight mooring will be provided. No designated boat slips are provided at the dock. It will be used as an access
dock for canoes and kayaks.
A fixed timber walkway 77 ft long and 10 ft wide will be constructed through the wetland fringe to a 5 foot wide
articulating gangway connected to the floating dock (60 ft x 10 ft tee dock) to the pavilion. Construction of the access
walkway will be along an existing road that extends to the waters edge and will require additional clearing of
approximately 1,400 sf of wetlands for construction. Water depths in the location of the dock are approximately 15 ft
Bal Gra Harbor - Bertie County, North Carolina July 2010; Rev August 25, 2010
Major CAMA Permit Application - Project Narrative Page 6 of 19
(Sheet 15). Water depths in the narrow section of the creek are 22 ft in the middle. The depth of the water would
indicate that there are no SAV. An inspection at the time of the hydrographic survey (May 2007) indicated that no
SAV were apparent in the creek at the location of the proposed dock.
The dock will occupy 610 sf of public trust waters and require installation of approximately 3 concrete guide piles in
the creek bottom to secure the floating dock. The dock extends approximately 14 ft across the creek which is 135 ft
wide at the location (Sheet 15).
A pier width of 10 feet is justified because it will provide sufficient space for safe passage of kayaks and canoes from
upland storage areas to the docks.
There is an existing unpaved road that provides access to the Creek Club area. The road is some 12 to 15 feet wide
and extends through jurisdictional wetlands. Development will include improvement of the road surface with paving
or improvement to an upgraded gravel surface but no additional widening of the road or impacts on wetlands.
4. Canoe House - The Canoe House is located approximately 3.1 miles from the mouth of Salmon Creek, some
0.6 miles up stream from the Creek Club (Sheet 2). The facility will be private for use by Bal Gra residents and
guests and will provide a launching and storage location for canoes and kayak rentals, small outfitting (bait, tackle
etc), possibly a dining component and outdoor and covered/screened areas for events and passive recreation and
meetings.
A fixed timber dock consisting of a main walkway 8 ft wide and three finger piers 4 ft wide and 20 ft long will be
located at the edge of Salmon Creek in water depths of 3 ft (Sheet 16). The dock will be connected to the Canoe
House building area with a pile supported timber walkway 10 ft wide and approximately 136 ft long. The width of
Salmon Creek at the Canoe House location is approximately 173 ft. The dock will extend 31 ft from the shoreline into
the creek (Sheet 16). The dock will occupy 624 sf of Public Trust Waters. Construction of the dock will require
installation of 24 treated timber piles into the creek bottom.
A timber walkway 10 ft wide and 136 ft long will provide access to the dock from the Canoe House. The walkway will
be constructed over 1,090 sf of wetlands and will require clearing of approximately 0.06 ac of wetlands for installation
of piles and construction of the walkway. No grubbing will be permitted. Installation of piles will be staggered so that
stumps are avoided. Construction of the walkway will require installation of some 28 treated timber piles.
A pier width of 10 feet is justified because it will provide sufficient space for safe passage in both directions
simultaneously of kayaks and canoes from upland storage areas to the docks.
Bal Gra Harbor - Bertie County, North Carolina July 2010; Rev August 25, 2010
Major CAMA Permit Application - Project Narrative Page 7 of 19
Debris Removal - A collection of debris has accumulated along the shoreline and in the water in the footprint of the
proposed marina. Woody debris was located during a submerged aquatic habitat study in November 2006. These
habitats were either segmented trees or stumps. Some debris removal will be necessary to remove hazards to
boaters and to clear locations for pile installation. Location of stumps within the marina envelop is shown on Sheet 5.
Locations of stumps and woody debris within the marina footprint will be marked prior to any construction for
conservation purposes and measures will be taken to protect these habitats. Locations where the photographs were
taken are shown in Figure 1.
There are also remnants of old docks and piers in the water located at the head of the creek that separates the point
on the Chowan River and the mouth of Salmon Creek (Sheet 5). Dilapidated timber docks and fallen tree debris are
in the area of the existing boat launching ramp and will inhibit use of the improved boat launching ramp at the head of
the creek. Photos 1 through 4 show storm debris, remnant piles, and decking at the head of the creek. In an
inspection of the shoreline and adjacent shallow waters, no submerged piles were found along the 2,100 ft of
shoreline.

Overall, the project is intended to maintain much of the natural character of the land. Through choosing to locate the
densest development in the most disturbed (previously cultivated) areas of the site, large areas of open space and
sensitive environmental areas can be preserved. Overall the site will have a minimum of 41.5% or 544 ac of open
space as required in the approved PUD documents from Bertie County. Within this open space a large trail and
greenway network will be planned to allow the residents of the community many opportunities to enjoy the outdoors
while walking or biking. The total area that will be disturbed is estimated as 797 ac. Total forested area to be cleared
or partially cleared is 562 ac.
Parking will be provided throughout the development as appropriate for the uses and to meet county requirements.
Parking will be limited to the extent possible in order to minimize the amount of impervious surfaces throughout the
project and will be provided for the various uses as follows:
• Single- family attached residential : 2.5 spaces per unit
• Single family detached residential: 2 spaces per unit
• Multi-family: 1.8 spaces per unit
• Office: 3 spaces per 1000 sf
• Retail/Commercial/Mixed Use: 4.5 spaces per 1000 sf
• Hotel/Motel: 1 space per room
• Public Marina -1 space per 5 boat slips
• Boat Launching Ramp -10 trailer and vehicle spaces
The project also seeks to minimize, if not prohibit, wetland impacts throughout the site. The developer will employ
the following measures in the development of the site in order to maintain as much of the natural character of the
property as possible:
Ball Gra Harbor - Bertie County, North Carolina July 2010, Rev August 25, 2010
Major CAMA Permit Application - Project Narrative Page 12 of 19
• Landscaping on site will use native plants to the extent possible. This will allow plants to be maintained
using minimal irrigation and maintenance and keep new development in character with its surroundings.
• Grading on the site will attempt to maintain existing grade relationships to the extent possible and minimize
the impact to the existing site. Earth moving will be minimized to maintain the natural character of the land.
• Tree clearing for roadways and development will be minimized to the extent possible. Care will be taken
during right-of-way clearing to minimize the width of clearing and maintain as many existing trees as
possible. Guidelines for tree clearing will be put in place by covenant to minimize clearing of building lots.
• Wetland impacts will be limited to 3 small areas that will be graded for road construction (1,201 sf) and 3
bridge crossings that will be bridged so that only clearing is required.
The project will receive its drinking water from the Bertie County water system expanded on the site. Wastewater
treatment will be provided by an SBR treatment facility located on the site with on-site effluent disposal in six
infiltration ponds.
Overall the project seeks to fit into the context of the surrounding area and maintain a natural character that
preserves the sensitive areas of the site. By preserving large areas of the property for open space and using
innovative wastewater treatment systems and storm water management systems, the relative impact of the
development on the environment will be minimized and provide the future residents of the project and Bertie County
with a vibrant center with many exceptional outdoor recreational opportunities.
The village center adjacent to the 10 ac pond will provide a unique experience as well as a community center for the
overall development and surrounding region. The marina and public boat launching facility will provide water and
public boating access on the west side of the river, and will serve as essential components of tourism promotion and
economic development in the county. The Canoe House and Creek Club facilities will provide canoe and kayak
access to the scenic upstream areas of Salmon Creek. The Bertie County CAMA Land Use Plan states, "The
building of marinas and associated development can have a significant commercial and recreational potential for
Bertie County. The County supports this development when it is built in compliance with CAMA regulations" (1999).
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT The Bal Gra Property is located within Bertie County at the confluence of the
Chowan River, the Albelmarle Sound and Salmon Creek. The mouth of the Chowan River, Salmon Creek and the
Albemarle Sound adjacent to the site are'classified as Class C Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW). Additionally, Bertie
County is included as one of the twenty Coastal Counties identified by the North Carolina Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (NCDENR) as regulated under session law 2008-211 regarding management of stormwater.
Since the adjacent water bodies are classified NSW, the site is regulated by Section 2(b)(3) of the session law which

defines density criteria and the required stormwater management measures. Low density development is considered
a built upon area (BUA) of equal to or less than 25%
The following discussion presents a Master Planning level Stormwater Management Plan for the proposed site. The
goal of this stormwater management plan is to set the design criteria for the density of the site and provide general
sizing and type of Best Management Practices (BMPs) that will be incorporated into the site design and allow the site
densities to be realized while achieving stormwater management goals. This section summarizes the proposed
densities with respect to the individual site phases while also listing anticipated treatment methodologies and overall
required volumes. The anticipated runoff volumes listed in Tables 3 and 4 below were calculated using the simple
method as required when permitting with NCDENR. The design rainfall for water quality in this area is 1.5 inches as
required by the Coastal County Stormwater Rules.
Bal Gra is proposed to be developed in three phases. The phases will consist of a combination of low density
residential and concentrated high density community center areas with an overall site goal of low density. Phase I is
anticipated to consist of residential lots, streets, and open space, and will be developed in accordance with low
density requirements, with the exception of a higher density community beach club area along Albemarle Sound with
smaller lot residential, townhomes, multi-family residential, hotel and some small retail and office uses. Phase II will
be developed as a high density development consisting of smaller lot residential, townhomes, multi-family residential,
mixed-use, and waterfront amenities, including a Retail Town Center, marina, and hotel. Phase III will be developed
as a low density development consisting of residential lots, streets and open space.
Table 3 below summarizes the low density and high density area for each phase as well as the overall site. The table
also indicates the total site acreage and the proposed overall site density design criteria as 24% for low density
status. While the overall density is considered low, the stormwater management plan proposes installation of various
BMPs throughout the site, particularly within the high density areas in order to protect water quality of the adjacent
surface waters. As a result, Table 3 presents the stormwater volume required for the high density areas with a
summary of the BMP volume proposed to ensure sufficient stormwater management criteria are met. The acreage of
roads presented in Table 3 include the entire right-of-way, with the percentage impervious representing an average
based on the different sidewalk and pavement cross sections proposed.

The anticipated treatment methods and volumes listed in Table 4 below were developed by analyzing the master
plan for possible locations of Low Impact BMPs such as bioretention areas and infiltration areas. The plan also
considers storage from the two wetponds proposed to be constructed in Phase I and II (12 ac and 16 ac
respectively). In locating particular BMPs throughout the development, we have essentially allocated median space
for bioretention, park space for infiltration, and pond space for wet ponds. In anticipating available storage volumes,
a maximum depth of 12 inches was used in both bioretention and infiltration areas while a storage depth of 24 inches
was estimated in the wet pond. Bioretention areas are limited to 12 inches of storage by regulation. Infiltration
areas have no regulatory storage. limit, however they are limited to 2.0 ac of drainage area and are required to have
an offline bypass, therefore, the 12 inch estimated depth limitation was applied as a "correction factor" to account for
some of these additional design details to be worked out in the later stages of design.

Figure 2 presents a summary of the development phases and the associated drainage areas. The overall site
stormwater master plan seeks to provide early planning for stormwater management for the Bal Gra project. The plan
serves to set the criteria for site planning and design with consideration to stormwater volumes and resulting water
quality. Additionally, the goals of the plan include maximizing open space, centralized high density areas and overall
low density development. The BMPs presented promote infiltration and bioretention of stormwater to reduce runoff
volume and associated pollutant levels on a localized basis. Wet ponds and more structural BMPs are used in
conjunction with peak flow attenuation and overall site aesthetic and recreation amenities. Final development of a
stormwater management plan for permit level and final design will consider Operations and Maintenance (0&M) of
the proposed BMPs. The balance of BMPs may be modified during final design, particularly in regard to the size of
the wet ponds. However, stormwater management on site will exceed the minimum volume required.
Wetland Impacts - It is an important objective of this project to avoid and minimize wetland impacts. Three road
crossings in the upland development will be constructed using bridges so that only clearing will be required.
Construction of access walkways to piers at the waterfront, and three bridged crossings in the upland development
will require clearing of 0.63 ac of wetlands. Grubbing of vegetation will not be permitted in conjunction with clearing
so that impacts are minimized. Road construction impacts will occur at three locations with total impacts of 1,201 sf
(.028 ac.) in the upland development. The road crossings will require permitting by the U. S. Army Corps of
Engineers and will be permitted under the Nationwide 14 general permit which is limited to 0.5 ac of impact to non-
tidal wetlands. There are no tidal wetlands in the development.
The development plan will not permit construction of individual docks and piers across wetlands and SAV. Property
lines will be established so that they do not extend beyond the wetland lines so wetlands are not under private
ownership. Conservation easements will also be used to hold from public ownership wetlands and other common
areas of the site. The result will be prohibition of construction in wetlands or construction of docks and piers serving
individual properties.
Ball Gra Harbor - Bertie County, North Carolina July 2010, Rev August 25, 2010
Major CAMA Permit Application - Project Narrative Page 16 of 19
Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) Impacts- The project is designed to avoid direct impacts to SAV. Design of
waterfront improvements will result in preservation of 194.65 ac (8,478,954 sf) of SAV that border the property.
There is the potential for indirect impacts as a result of the elevated access piers that cross the SAV at the hotel site.
The pedestrian pier at the hotel will be elevated 4 to 5 ft above the normal water level to allow for light to penetrate to
the SAV beneath the pier. Total area of SAV to be covered by the hotel pier will be 3,225 sf (0.074 ac). The areas of
SAV are shown on Sheet 5.
The open water marina has been designed to avoid impacts to SAV. Floating docks and fixed access piers will be
located waterward of SAV beds. This design will preserve approximately 3.14 ac (136,778 sf) of the SAV in the open
water marina area. There is a potential for an indirect impact to SAV in the area where two marina access piers
cross over the SAV. The marina access piers will be elevated above the SAV to minimize shading. The total area
that will be covered is 1,728 sf (0.04 ac). The marina will also provide some protection to the SAV by attenuating
waves that would otherwise have an impact on SAV along the shoreline adjacent to the marina.
NAVIGATION CONDITIONS
As shown in the site plan (Sheet 4), the floating docks will extend no more than 25 percent of the distance across the
width of Salmon Creek at the marina.
The marina will be equipped with lighting that will make the floating docks visible in darkness. The natural channel in
Salmon Creek is 100 ft wide near the marina and depths in the channel are in excess of 10 ft. The marina will not
impede navigation in the natural channel which is located parallel to the southern shoreline of Salmon Creek.
METHODS OF CONSTRUCTION
Construction of the marina and in-water facilities will be by conventional marine construction equipment including
barges and cranes. The equipment will be onsite only a sufficient time to complete the pile driving and dock
installation work. Equipment will be stored in the protected waters of Salmon Creek when not in use or weather
prohibits work at the site. Materials for in water improvements will be stored in upland areas and transferred to
barges for in-water construction. Floating docks will be launched from barges and towed to location and then used
as a template for driving steel pipe or concrete guide piles. Jetting of timber dock support piles and tie piles will be
permitted where the bottom consists of sandy sediments. In mud bottoms, jetting will not be permitted and driving of
piles will be required. Bottom conditions and limitations on driving versus jetting of piles will be determined as part of
the detailed design process.
Ball Gra Harbor - Bertie County, North Carolina July 2010, Rev August 25, 2010
Major CAMA Permit Application - Project Narrative Page 17 of 19
Wetlands will be cleared for construction of access walkways but grubbing will be minimized. Pilings in wetlands will
be driven or augured and will be spaced to minimize need for grubbing of stumps. Temporary mats for construction
equipment may be required to provide a stabile platform in wetlands areas that have been cleared for walkway
construction. Mats are to be removed in a timely fashion after construction has been completed. Construction of
piers at the boat ramp will be completed by land based equipment working from the existing boat ramp.
Construction of upland improvements will be by conventional site work and building construction methods.
PROJECT SCHEDULE
No schedule has been determined for implementation of the project. The PUD approved by Bertie County calls for
construction of marina facilities in 2014. It is expected that that date will slip. Real estate market conditions will
dictate when construction of the project will be initiated.
COMPLIANCE WITH BERTIE COUNTY ZONING AND CAMA LAND USE PLAN
Zoning in Bertie County is only by municipalities inside municipal limits and extraterritorial jurisdiction. The Bal Gra
site is not subject to municipal or county restrictions. The proposed project will change the use of the upland areas
from "Limited Transition" and `Rural' to "Developed" as defined by the CAMA Land Use Plan for Bete County
(1999). The proposed marina area is classified as "Conservation" and is a permitted use under that classification.
The project, as proposed, does not conflict with or violate county development regulations established by ordinances.
A Planned Unit Development for the site was approved by the Bertie County Commissioners on November 5, 2007.
The project complies with the CAMA Land Use Plan for Bertie County as updated and adopted by the Coastal
Resources Commission in September 1999. This project is also consistent with and supports the applicable
ordinances and master plans of Bertie County.
COMPLIANCE WITH THE N. C. ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT
The N. C. Department of Administration issued a letter on June 8, 2010 stating that the requirements of the N. C.
Environmental Policy Act have been met and that no further environmental review is required. A copy of that letter is
included with this application.

Introduction
Coastal Science &. Engineering; Inc. (CS&E) is working to permit construction of a. marina
on Salmon Creels rn L ertie. County, North Carolina, in coniunction with the Westpol%
development. In order to determine the effel-ts of construction activities on submerged and
terrestrial cultural resources in the project area, Tidewater Atlantic. Research, Inc. (TAR) of
AVashington, North Carolina vvas contracted by CS&E to conduct literature and archival
research, a remote sensing marine survey and a. terrestrial survey of the proposed rnarina. site.
The literature and archival research was designed to identify known arclia.eological sites and
to establish a historical background for the project area. The remote sensing and terrestrial
surveys were designed to locate and to identify cultural resources in the study area and to
identify and to assess the impacts of proposed construction activities on those resources
TAR,.s investigation complied with criteria established in compliance with the Rational
Historic ;reservation Act of 1966; as amended; the Archaeological and Historic, prese-r-vahon
Act of 1979, as amended the Abandoned Shipwreck Act of 1987 and the Advisory Council
on Historic preservation revised. 36 CFR fart 800 Regulations. The results of the
investigation were designed to furnish CS&E with the archaeological data essential for
compliance with North Carolina cultural- resource legislation and regulations.
prior to the field investigations, TAIL. personnel conducted a program of historical and
docunientary research. The results of that research provided a. framework for identifying
potential cultural resources in the project area. Fieldwork activities associated with the
project were conducted on 27 Iuly and 3 - 4 August 2006. Analysis of the remote sensing
data revealed a total of 21 rnagnetic, anomalies within the area surveyed. T,done of the
anomalies exhibited signature characteristics suggestive of potentially significant submerged
cultural resources. All of the signatures appear to have been generated by modern debris
such as fish and crab traps; small diameter rods, wire rope, chain or small boat anchors. No
potentially significant archaeological sites were also identified during a visual sm-,/ey arid
shovel testing of the upland area of the proposed marina. Disarticulated debris from a
recently destroyed modern str i_icture was observed i.n the terrestrial area. However a visual
inspection. and additional testing in the vicarrity of that debris revealed no intact feat ies or
cuitu.ral deposits. No ad.ditlional investigation of those sites is ie:comnnended In conlunctiorr
v,.'ith the proposed marina construction activities. Fused on the terrestrial and ren ote sensing
surveys. tl e proposed prCje.ct will not impact any T'-Tati.onal Register of H storic places

Remote Sousing Survey
In order to reliably ideratif?? srabnnerged cultural resoui-ces, TAR personnel conducted' a,
svstema.tic: remote sensing survey of the proposed marina. site. All survey activities wr2"e
conducted from a 24--foot vessel modified specifically to conduct remote sensing projects In
order to fulfill the requiiernents f<. r survey activities in the State of Niorth Carolina, rna.gnetic
and acoustic remote sensing e gUipnrent were employed. This combination of remote sensing
represents the state of the art. in submerged cultural resource 1oca.tion technology and offers
the most reliable and cost effec;t.i,,-e method to locate and to identify potentially sigraific,ant
targets. Data collection Akas controlled using a. differential global positioning system
(DGP'S). DGP'S produces the highly accurate coot dinates necessary to support. a.
sophisticaiednavigation ?r.grarri and to assure reliable target location. To ensure sufficient
data. would be available to locate any potentially significant targets in the project area., renxcte.
sensing data were collected along 10 parallel lanes spaced on `U-foot intervals (Figu:ie 2)
An EG&G Geometric,s G-8:81 i--rarine cesium magnetometer capable of plus or rrinus ;'T00J
ga.nrnia. resolution was erriploytd to collect magnetic data. in, the survey area (Figuie. 3) To
produce the Trost comprehen6ve magnetic record, data 'alas collected at 10 sarnples per

A TRINmi r,. AgGPS was used to controi navigation arid data collection in the survey area.
That system has an accuracy of plus or minus three, feet, and earl be used to generate. highly
accurate coordinates for the computer navigation system. The D PS was employed in

magnetic and acoustic, records were tried to positioning events generated by HYT'ACKoi?T AAx.
Positioning data generated by the navigation system were tied to magnetorieter records by
regular annotations to facilitate target location and anomaly analysis. All. data is related to
the North Carolina Mate Plane Coordinate System, ? TAD 83.
Data An,?Iysis
To ensure reliable target identification and assessment, analysis of the magnetic and acoustic
data. was tarried out as it was genera.t:ed. using QlACKStJa1.@ oont:o=wring software, ragnetic
data generated during the survey were contour plotted at 10--gamma intervals for anadysis and
accurate location of magnetic anomalies. The magnetic, data was examined for anomalies
that were isolated and analyzed in accordance with intensity.,, duration, areal extent and
signature characteristics. Sonar records were analyzed to identify targets on the basis of
configuration, areal extent, target intensity and contrast with background, ele:vat on and
shadow image, and were also, reviewed for possible association with identified magnetic,
anomalies
Data generated by the remote sensing equiprrient were developed to support an asse si-nero of
each magnetic and acoustic signature. Analysis of each target signature included
consideration of magnetic and sonar signature characteristics previously demonstrated to be,
reliable indicators of historically significant submerged cultural resources. Assessment of
each target includes avoidance options and possible adjustr9ients to avoid potential cultural
resources. Where avoidance is not possible the assessment will include recornmendations for
additional investigation to determine the exact nature of the cultural material generating the
signature and its potential T' LUonal Register significance. A ;Magnetic contour mad, of the
survey area was produced to aid in the analysis of each tai get.

preser-vation of P'aleo-Andian sites. These sites 'jack the. stratification rice.ded for cornparative
analysis and. dating. PaJeo-Indian sites found in the Tidewater region would have been
located ori the Inner- Coastal Plain at. the time of their occupation,NTith the retreat of the last
glaciers the sea level rose to near its present. level, inundating coastal sites.
Settlement patterns of Paleo-Indian short.-term-activity sites or longer-utilized base camps
seem to be associated with access to lithic materials for tool manufacture, such, as quartz,
quartzite; slate, rhyolitF, chert and jasper which were brought down from the, mountains and
Piedmont areas by rivers (Phelps 1983.21). Other factors that influenced site location
included access to water, habitats favorable to game and sunlight exposure (Thompson and
Gardner 1479:23). The environment of the Coastal Plain during the Paleo-Indian period was
one of broad river valleys ,vith braided stream channels around numerous sandbars,
freshwater marshes along the strearn edges and a. boreal pine-spruce forest on the irnterstream
uplands (Whitche.ad 19722313). The retreat of the Wisconsin glaciation biou.g,l-t about
changes in. the environment and the disappearance of the rnegafauna, which gaze v,,ay to a
new subsistence strategy
The change In climate following the glaciation must have produced a. favorable environment
for hurrah, subsistence, since numerous Archaic period (8,000 -- 1,000 B.C ) sites can be
found in the Coastal Plain. The density of Archaic sites within the Coastal Plain is higher
than for any other prel"ristoric; period. Their locations can be found in all n icroenvironrrlents
from saline estuav shores to stream rn.aigins and their tributary s_ystenas as well as pocosins
and floodpla.in swaraips (Phelps 1983 2,42. Each of these environments produced a diverse
and abundant food source that helped contribute to a siight rise in human population There
is also a strong relationship between site location and accessibility to strearns.
Surveys that have. docur_riented Archaic, sites in the Coastal Plaii-i indicate that. the rr?aiority of
sites represent short-terra-activity localities evenly distributed along streams. Fearer base
camps that may indicate seasonal utilization of available resources appear to be found near
the confluence of major streams. All sites, however, are found in the Inner Coastal Plain
Stratified Archaic sites are scarce, but probably do exist in select undisturbed areas ,n-ithin the
Inner Coa.st:a.l Plain. Archaic sites are missing from the Tidewater area. as a res6ilt of the
environinental change that has occurred ever the last several thousand years. Those sites that.
were located on the coast. have been oblitela.ted, buried or inundated like sites of the earlier
r.'eriod..

L' wartnei alid drier period duI-'rig the Middle Archaic, referred to as the hypsithernrial,
distinguishes this subl_>eriod frorn the pie,%ious one. During this time the pine-.birch--l+errllock
forests of the. Coastal Plain were being replaced by oak and hickory ljardwoods. The number
of sites increased slightly from the Early to Middle Archaic. Lithic point types experience a.
trarsition from the. Dirk sternmed to Stanly stemmed points. I`,,ew point types such as
Morrow Mountain, Ciuiiford and Halifax are believed to represent introduction and possible
trade wi h' other areas. Polished stone and selrlllunar speartnrovlei weights ass appear for
the tlrst Ii1111e
The Late A,-chaic is represented by less diversification with the Savannah Kiver point style
being prevalent. The Savannah JUver phase is generally associated with a higher degree of
sedentism believed to be a result of improved subsistence adaptation. The appearance of
steatite vessels for cooking and storage, as well as fiber-tempered ceramic. wares seem to
support this belief A. distinction bet°iAteen the North Coastal Plain and the South Coastal
Plain can be based on the ceramic distribution of this ware (Phelps 1983:26)
The Woodland period (1,0001 B.C_ -- 16,50 A.D.) is marked by further development of the
increased diversification in subsistence and use of ceramics that began to appear during the
Late Archaic period. However, little is known about settlement Iiatterns or subsistence. oil the.
Coastal Plain during this transition. Settlement patterns are believed to be continuous with
the preceding Archa.ic. It is thought that cultigens were also introduced during this period,
but their immediate effect is not readily seers Jr, the archaeological record. At a. few of the
sites with Earl)? Woodland components in the Northern Coastal legion, Stallings fiber
tempered zer-aaoics are iepla.ced rwi.th Thom's Creels sand-tempered cerarnics, showing an
introduction of nevv traits. Thorn's Creek ceramics are eventually followed by th,e. Deptford
series (Caldwell and 'Naring 1939), Lithic projectile points are of the small, stemmed
variety, considered transitional from the older Savannah River type (Phelps 1975:68), and are
now classified as Gyps)/ poiras (Oliver )981).
The Middle Woodland period. is better understood than the preceding period Phase names
for this period are Fount Pleasant for the North Coastal region, and Cape Fear for the South
Coastal region. Dearing the Mount F"lea.sant phase there is a change in settlement patterns.
Small sites along the smaller tributary stream s decrease in number-, while there, is an increase
in the nurubei of sites along rral'or sir_ea:-ris and estuaries (Phelps 1983 .33) Sites: found e-n
Cohingu-n and Roanoke Islands indicate seasonal subsistence that !"eked primarily ore
shellfish collection. Inland riverine sites have the same pattern 'r,ut reflect a.dapta.tior;s to
she.l fish and other species c:& the riverine envliooriment (Phelps 1783:33). Sed_entaii-y villages

The. 1-vvo local phases of the Late Woodland period for the 14orth Coastal region are the
t:olnUtori phase for thelgxml;Tan ci.rltu.re of the. T'idevaa.ler zone, and the Cashlie Phase for
territory occupied by the "Ilase,arora. and northern Iroquoian Ivl_elierrin and Nott.a:wa,r in tyre
interior Coastal Plain. The settlement pattern during thte Late Woodland was relatively
dispersed with site locations found along the sounds, estuaries, major rivers and the.irTributaries. Most of the sites that occur on the rnainland are found a.d,jac;ent to streams or
other bodies of water on high banks and ridges of sandy loarns. Types of sites include capital
v illa.ges (chiefdoms), villages, seasonal villages and camps foi- specialized activities, as well
as farrnsteads likely occupied by extended families (Phelps 1983:39-40)_
Except fu!- the carrlps that appear to be directly related to seasonal gathering; of shlellfisli,
fishing acid perhaps collecting:: all seasonal and larger villages are located where agriculture-
bunting, gathering arrd fishing could all be aecornplIshed within the site c,atc:hr ient area
(Phelps 1983:40). Shellfish collecting, and fishing camps have been found on C;'olington
Islarid and major villages, e.,,ce.pt maybe for Hatteras Island, occur on the Inner Coastal Plain.
Hatteras Island is one of the few barrier islands with sufficient area at its present south end to
support the subsistence needs of a large population (Phell--)s 1983 401, One chiefdom 1,A7a,s
located on the Outer or, Hatteras Island, with most sites repoil:ed by Haag destroyed
through modern developinent. Subsistence during this period relied u.pori gathering a.ncl.
hi.inting to support some a. ric-ulture. Exploitation of- a wide range of habitats pro-,lided the
needed food sources. Maize, hickory nuts; faunal remains of bears, deer and a. t-aide variety
of small animals, alligato,s terrapins and turtles; fish and both marine and riverine shellfish
hay: e been found at excavated sites of this period (Phelps 1:8310). By the end of the Late
Noodlarrid period, cultigens of squash, beans and sunflower would have been grown as

Exploration of the contemporary V'Irgilaia-Carolina coastline began during the ,.ixt:ecnth
century. In 1. 524, the Florentine pilot Gy-iovanni da Verrazano sailed along the Outer B,arlks of
1,1orth Carolina frorn the Cape Fear region northwards to (old Gjrrituck Inlet. The fo l"Dwing
vea.r the Spanish pilot Pedro de. Quejo sailed along the Outer Banks and entered tvN,oin.lets
north of Cape Hatteras and a third to the south of that proniontory. T he name and exact
location of these inlets are .1nkncovn (H.off-nan 1987.34) - Later that. year a Portuguese pilot
by the -nable of Estevan G-n-iez sailed as far as 40 degrees north along the A,.tla.-t c Coast of
1`?ori_h. America (Dunbar ]W:8 7).
In 1584, Sir Walter Raleigh v,7as granted a royal charter that authorived hiin to discover and
to occupv lands "not: already held by any Christian Prince and ...people" (Curnming
, 988 'x) The English noblernar) dispatched tvao barques, r,omrr.tanded by Philip An-iadas and

1`dorth t_;a;rolina outer banks. An-tadas navigated. up the coast: and encountered hostile natives

southward rnigration into the x.11-i-Ima.rle region. The first doc«nAented foray was cond.t.ICted
by Mari-naduke Rayner in 1620. That was followed in -162.2 by John P'ory who reported that
the. prospects for settlement as good and the natives as friendly (Mill and Wilde- Ran, sing
19872.) tri 1629, K:i_ng Charles granted Sir Robert. Death the territory between Cable Fear

Items exported from lEdenion and the surrounding region included toba-cco., naval stores,
lumber, staves, hea.dirigs, shingles, planks, coin, herring and pork, while imports consist ,d of
cloths, hinens, silk, shoes, ia.ts, r,ji'-!a, household. goods, turn, salt, coffee, su-g:ai- and arolasses
(Cheesen: an 1.980 7).
After the Tuscarora Indian War, the population in the western part of the Chowan District
exploded as settlers flocked to lands vacated by the Indians. Because of this grov,-th away
from the venter of governmerit the Chowan District was split in two in 1722 with the'vlestern
portion forming Bertie District The district encompassed what a;-e now Be?-tie, T),"i-IcH,
Edgecombe, Northa.ngpton and Hertford Counties.
Bertie's economy during the Colonial period was based primarily on agriculture, forest
products and fishing. Agriculture was characterized by large plantations and a, m.i tuit of
small farms Corn and wheat constituted the principal cortsumables, while tobacco. Colton
and other fruits and vegetables Were harvested on. a. smaller but still significant scare
Lumber, the manufacture of staves and shingles and naval stores, the extraction. of tar, pitch
and turpentine. from the coastal pine foiests, were the chief exports of the region G;-ist
milling constituted another ma;or industry. Between 1758 and 1775, the county court
received 28 petitions for the construction and operation of mills (Watson 1982:58) Fishing
provided area residents additional sources of income. The earliest docurnent:ed fisher; was
operated by John Campbell and F.achard Brownrigg at Campbell's plantation at C?clera.in
(Watson 1982 S7)
Situated at the head of Albemarle Sound and crossed by many rivers and creeks, water-Orays
formed an integral part: in the transportation network of Bettie County. Soon after the
esta.bhshrxrent of the colony inost of the larger plantations had their own wharves for shipping
goods to market. In 1739, the provincial a.sserribly ordered the consti?!t,tion of AA,aiehou ;es to

The Albemarle region vas at its economic zenith at tl?e davvn of the American Revolution.
In the first half of the 17?Os, 827 ships cleared the porn carrying "some ten rnilhon staves,

Beyond tl_e exchange of gur_f,,re bcVveen a British roc\? galley and awned merchant vessels in

1899, over 20,822 bushel of peanuts were harvested in Base Co!.rrrty (Mla.tson 198154).
Fishing remained an important part of the economy in the post war years. Between 18,78 and
1883; the catch at Colerain averaged 15 million per season OVatson 198159Y Unring the

Based on models for prehistoric habitation, the upland location of the marina site should have

Catav,rba College: field school investigation corr_firrrr, hate A/c,odlatnd Period habitation in tlh,c
Immediate vicinity of the site and identified a concentrated archaeo -logica) feature in a
``relativclly small area" rear the northeastern perimeter of the survey area.. 1Jrr lb_u ba ately, the
Catav,rha, survey site map does not contain sufficient e;nt data for accurate geo-refer°ern-frig. Thus
reliable co nparison vittn the marina footprirst under consideration is virtually impossible.

upstream to Willifords Landing and identified thirteen subi-ierged sites (?il.l an?ililde
F?.am.sirir; 198T35). Those sites include five landings and. a total of 11 vessels. The vessels
appear to dale between the nine tet'Iith and twentieth centuries V itl7 modern vessels
dorninati.ng the collection. This preliminary survey revealed that transportation a.ctr vities on
?alrnan ;reels were an integral part of the plantation econorny and later, In the t-wentieth
century, the lumber industi)?. The creek also served as a. repository, ffor derelict vessels. The
results of' the survey also indic.,ate that there is a high probability that additional historically
significant submerged cultural resources are located in the reg'on and that solve unrecorded
',wrecks rrsay be present in the area currently abider consideration.
The remote sensing survey of the proposed Bal lira marina identified a total of 21 magnetic
anornahc,s. Norse of the anomalies exhibited signature characteristics sugg.e.stive of
potentially significant submerged, cultural resources. All of the signatures appear to have
been generated by modern debris such as fish and crab traps; small diameter rods, ilre rope;
chain or small boat anchors. No cultural material was also fouled during shovel testin6 of the
upland area of the proposed marina site. Disarticulat:e.d debris from a recently destroyed
modern structure vti?as observed i.n the area. tested, however, visual inspection and zadditiona.l
testing In the vicinity of tlhiat debris revealed no intact features or cult:urai depo, its. No
additional investigation of those sites IS rC`comMeri.ded in conjunction v?'itll the proposed
manna. construction activities.
Based on the two surveys, the proposed project Will riot impaci any rational Register of
