9 Narrative Description
This is a single family residence within the Neuse Harbour subdivision located off of NC Hwy
70W near New Bern Craven County The protect address is 409 Neuse Harbour Boulevard The
property is 25 300 square feet and adjacent to the Neuse River The Adjacent properties are also
developed with similar single family residences
The lot has approximately 110 of shoreline along the Neuse River The entire high bluff shoreline
is armored with a granite rip rap revetment There is a wooden walkway and stairs that traverse
the rip rap in order to access the Neuse River This shoreline stabilization and walkway were
damaged during Hurricane Irene on August 25 2011
The average elevation of the high ground of the parcel is +25 above the normal water level (nwl)
Vegetation on this particular tract is mainly comprised of lawn grasses and manicured shrubs
There is a defined Federal Channel in the Neuse River however it is approximately 1 mile from
the proposed project area Offshore water depths adjacent to the tract range from about -1 to -2
nwl
This waterbody is over 3 miles across at this location This location is a part of the Neuse River
basin It is subject to wind driven tides and highly energetic wave action due to such an exposed
fetch These Estuarine Waters of the Neuse River are not classified as a Primary Nursery Area
and there is no submerged aquatic vegetation present This area is closed to shellfish harvest and is
classified as SB Sw Nutrient Sensitive Waters There are no Coastal Wetlands in the proposed
project area This substrate is firm without shell
10 Proposed Development
The applicant wishes to increase the shoreline stabilization and construct a new pier and platform
The applicant s rip rap revetment has failed during mayor storm events The applicant wishes to
construct two tiered bulkheads and rip rap in order to protect their remaining high ground from
further mayor storm events The applicant also wishes to re build the damaged pier
The first proposed bulkhead will be constructed at the top of the bluff 42 waterward of the
house This wooden bulkhead will be 83 long and 6 tall The proposed bulkhead will stand
alone The second proposed bulkhead will be constructed along the shoreline (nwl) - 41
waterward of the first bulkhead This vinyl bulkhead will be 135 long and 9 tall The ground
between the two bulkheads will be gradually sloped and stabilized with sod
The existing granite rip rap will be relocated immediately waterward of the proposed vinyl
bulkhead The large granite revetment will be 110 long and 26 wide It will extend 26
waterward in order to better protect the property from erosive wave action caused by high velocity
wind events
The proposed private dock will begin at the vinyl bulkhead and traverse the rip rap terminating at

a platform in the Neuse River The dock will be 5 wide and 26 long The platform will be 8
wide and 8 long The platform will be utilized by the applicant for temporary transient personal
docking and access to the Neuse River The water depth at this platform is 20 nwl The
proposed platform will also have two sets of accessory stairs down to the water There are no
permanent boat slips being proposed
11 Anticipated Impacts
No long term environmental effects anticipated The vinyl bulkhead will be sited along the NWL
along the base of the existing erosion escarpment Approximately 4 510 square feet of high ground
will be graded and filled as a result of this proposal to construct the wooden bulkhead with tie
backs and to slope the new grade down towards the vinyl bulkhead This proposal is subject to the
DWQ Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer Rules The proposed rip rap will fill 2 860 square feet
of firm shallow bottom in the Neuse River The proposed platform will shade 64 square feet of
open water
The rip rap revetment will extend 26 waterward of the normal water level The dock s platform
will extend another 8 beyond the rip rap There should not be any impact to navigation along this
section of shoreline
Appropriate sedimentation and erosion control measures will be implemented to ensure that eroded
materials do not enter into the adjacent waters The waters of the Neuse River are classified as SB
Sw Nutrient Sensitive Waters at this location and are not designated as a Primary Nursery Area
These waters are closed to the harvest of shellfish and there are no beds of submerged aquatic
vegetation present

Robert L Van Kirk and Michelle L Maillot, owners
My wife and I purchased this residential property in 2000 At that time the property
ended at rivers edge with a steep unprotected bluff In May of 20011 received a CAMA
Minor Permit to erect a granite seawall to protect then property from storms The permit
was modified in August of 2002 to include a wooden walkway over the granite wall for
access to the river It was not a dock
The wall was constructed in September 2002 by Chadwick Construction Company It
was heavily damaged during Hurricane Ophelia in September 2005 The wall was
repaired and more rock added in September 2006 by Cahoon Construction The wall was
heavily damaged during Hurricane Irene in August of this year
It must be repaired again I am faced with two problems One I need a better solution that
takes into consideration the steepness of the slope from the top of the property to the
water And I need to accommodate the fact that I have spent a great deal of money in the
past purchasing over 500 tons of granite
The solution I want to pursue is as follows
A Install a wooden 84 bulkhead at the top of the bluff 41 feet in from the river
B Install a vinyl 110' bulkhead at the river s edge across the width of the
property along with a 25 wing on the left side of the property (facing the
water)
C The new lower bulkhead will tie into the neighbor s (Sullivan) to the right
(facing the river) Currently the neighbor to the left (Waters) has a damaged
granite seawall At this point in time I am including a 25' wing in this plan
He is thinking of replacing the granite with a vinyl bulkhead with a
configuration similar to mine If so I will tie mine into his I will file a report
with the Division of Coastal Management if we make that change
D Fill in the hillside between the top of the lower, riverside bulkhead and the
bottom of the upper bulkhead with sand where needed and place sod over that
This will provide a reduced slope than currently exists and will facilitate less
damaging hurricane storm surge runback to the river

E Take all of the existing granite rock off of the hillside and stack it up against
the lower bulkhead in the river This will create an additional storm barrier
and utilizes all of the rock I have already paid for Given the quantity of rock
already in place, I will need to exceed the ten foot horizontal limit in the river
associated with a CAMA Minor Permit Our estimate is that we will need to
go out into the river 26 feet with the rock If we can do it with less we will
F I plan to replace the current long, wooden walkway The new dock structure
will consist of a wooden walkway and stairs starting at the top of the lower
bulkhead crossing over the granite nprap in the river and terminating at a
small platform The platform will extend 8 beyond the granite riprap into the
river The walkway and stairs will be 5' wide and 26 long (see drawing) The
platform will be 8 by 8' and sit 3 above the normal water level of 20
