Acres s/d) on the right. Follow Olga Road for approximately .3 miles and turn right onto
Margaret Road. The site is the existing boat ramp at the entrance of Margaret Road and is.
located on the right.
The subject property is an existing developed subdivision with individual single-family
homes and a community boat ramp. Along the high ground portion of the site is existing
development consisting of a parking area, boat ramp and bulkhead.
These areas have been routinely maintained by excavation of 1,000cy or less of the
shallow areas through the CAMA General Permit process throughout the years. The water
depths along this shoreline currently range from -1.75' nlw to -2.25' n1w. The Division of
Water Quality classifies this area as SA/HQW Waters. This part of North River is not a
designated Primary Nursery Area and is closed to the taking of shellfish. The bottom is a
sandy/mud fluff substrate depending on location. The Town of Beaufort's Land Use Plan
classifies this area as Medium Density Residential with Conservation within the AEC. No
shellfish resources or SAV were noted within the canal or within the entrance channel.
The shoreline for the length of the canal is approximately 925'. There are single-family
homes to the east and the west of the project site. The canal entrance is approximately
1600' northwest of the main channel within North River. On November 16, 2020 NCDWR
notified Mr. James Davis III via email that no prefilling meeting would be required.
10. Pro'ect Description:
To improve safety and navigation, the Oakwood Acres Home Owners Association is
proposing to perform maintenance excavation to remove sandy/ mud fluff bottom substrate
material from the existing boat ramp, canal and entrance channel. The average existing
water depths within these areas range from -1.75 nlw to -2.25 nlw. The connecting water
depth at the channel entrance are-4'nlw.
A total sum of 6,008 cubic yards of bottom substrate material would be removed from all
proposed dredge areas with 2,370 cubic yards removed from the access channel, 3,555 cubic
yards removed from the canal and 83 cubic yards removed from the boat ramp. The access
channel would have an excavation area of 1,600' x 20', the canal would be 50' x 960' and
the boat ramp area dimensions would be 15' x 75'. The final depth for the all the excavation
areas would be - -4' feet nlw which is the connecting water depth. Per the applicant, the
maintenance excavation would be done via the bucket to barge method and either hauled off
by trucks or by barge to 200 Canal road.
11. Anticipated Impacts:
The proposed excavation would produce temporary turbidity in the water column and
cause 81,125 square feet of disturbance to shallow bottom and open water. A total of
6,008 cubic yards of material would be removed to a final depth of -4' nlw. No coastal
wetlands would be impacted during this project and there would be no impact to SAV or
shellfish resources. Spoils would be barged and offloaded at 200 Canal Road and would
not involve the fill of noncoastal wetlands or allow runoff into the adjacent waterbody.

Please give a brief project description below."

Due to the continued need for dredging on a periodic basis, the Oakwood
Acres has voted to apply for a Major LAMA permit so that we can more
easily and routinely perform dredging repairs to our access channel and
neighborhood canal. We've also included the maintenance of our boat
ramp and associated dock in the permit application so that it to can be
continually maintained as needed. We only seek to dredge to a maintain
our canal's historic depth allowing us continued access to an existing
natural channel in North River with a depth of approximately 4' at low water_

Oakwood Acres
Home Owners Association
Project Narrative for Major Permit Application for on -going Canal maintenance
The purpose of the proposed dredging is to restore and maintain (long term) the intended condition and
ongoing function of the man-made canal and associated private boat ramp within and exiting Oakwood
Acres Subdivision located on Olga Road in Beaufort NC. In the past we have utilized multiple general
permits to maintain the canal and ramp throughout the years. However, because of ongoing and more
consistent storm activity, we've had overwhelming difficulty in areas within the canal, associated access
channel, boat ramp and even our HOA owned docks. We believe a Major Permit will best fit our future
needs relative to maintenance of the canal, access channel, boat ramp and HOA owned docks.
The canal is approximately 960' long between bulkheads and approximately 50' wide. It then turns SE
and extends another 1600' (averaging 20' in width) and connects to a natural channel with a mean low
water depth of 4'. We request a permit to maintain our canal to at least a NWL depth of 4.0' for the
entire length out to the natural channel in North River. Material will be mechanically excavated utilizing
bucket to barge or bucket to lined truck where possible from HOA owned property. See exhibit A and B
attached. A 5' buffer will be maintained between the channel and any living natural marsh shoreline.
The ramp itself is approximately 15' wide and 75' long and made of concrete and surrounded with 12'
vinyl sheet piles. Also existing in the area of the dock is approximately 200 linear feet (5' wide for a total
of approximately 1000 ft sq. of dock) of bulkhead and docks maintained by Oakwood Acres HOA.
The spoils will de -watered and deposited via truck on a nearby neighboring tract of vacant land (PIN
#731703334692000). See attached exhibit C and D detailing the spoil deposit area and letter from the
property owner granting permission to re -deposit on his land as we have in the past. This site itself is
outside any and all buffer zones as known or labeled by the DCM/DEMLR.
Lastly please find attached adjacent riparian property owners signed statements authorizing the
proposed and lasting maintenance for the canal, access channel, Boat Ramp and HOA owned docks
existing within and exiting Oakwood Acres.
