The waters of Banks Channel and Middle Sound are classified SA ORW by the Division of Water Quality They are NOT designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the N C Division of Marine Fisheries and they are OPEN to the harvest of shellfish PROPOSED PROJECT The applicant proposes to install a single pole boatlift to accommodate an additional vessel at an existing private docking facility into Banks Channel A new single pole boatlift would be installed on the landward side of the existing platform measuring approximately 8 feet in length by 6 feet in width The application states that the existing water depth in the area of the proposed structure is approximately 0 at normal low water (NLW) The application states that the proposed structure would accommodate a personal water craft and would provide docking space for an additional vessel at this facility Further the application states that an additional docking space would be designated on the western side of the existing floating dock which would allow for up to a total of four (4) vessels at this docking facility (See Sheets 1 of 3 through 3 of 3) 10 ANTICIPATED HAPACTS The proposed structure would mcorporate approximately 48 sq ft of Estuarine Waters and Pubic Trust Area The existing docking facility currently extends approximately 95 feet into a waterbody which measures approximately 385 feet across This distance appears to conform with both the 1/4 width rule and the established pier lengths in this man made canal Due to the limited amount of water at the location for the proposed single pole boatlift, approximately 0 feet at NLW located on this side of this man made canal as shown in the attached work plan there will be potential for bottom disturbance and displacement of the substrate kicking by vessel propellers to access the channel of this canal Based on the riparian corridor that was established for this side of the cove the proposed structure would not encroach into the 15 Adjacent Riparian Corridor Setback requirement Minor increases in turbidity should be expected during construction Submitted by Robb Mairs Date 04/20/2012 Office Wilmington Mar-28-2012 01 43pm From - CHARLOTTE PIPE AND FOUNDRY CO T -421 P 001/003 F 382 FROM Jimmy Narth — CJMC FAX NO 9102566357 Ma?- 28 2012 12 33PM P!
