PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project site is located on Pelican Walk Road (SR 1670A), adjacent to the AIWW, north of Hampstead, Pender County To access the site from Wilmington, take US Hwy 17 N to Sloop Point Loop Road (SR 1563) Turn right onto Sloop Point Loop Road and travel approximately 2 6 miles to Alton D Rivenbark Road (SR 1670) Make a right on Alton D Rivenbark Rd and follow it approximately 0 5 miles to its termination Turn right onto Pelican Walk and travel approximately 0 1 mile to the boat ramp access area The site is located on the left The site currently has a pier, gazebo and a boat ramp on the southwest corner of the property The pier and gazebo were authorized by State Permit No 76 -04, issued June 4, 2004 The current water depth adjacent to the ramp is 0 8' Normal Low Water (NLW), which gradually increases in depth to —2 0' NLW at the end of the proposed access channel Current water depths were provided by the authorized agent of the applicant and v\ ei e obtained via soundings at low water Vegetation on the highground portion of the lot consists primaiily of lawn grasses, with several Live Oak (Quercus virgintana) and Wax Myrtle (Myrica cerifera) The highground vegetation transitions waterward to a band of high marsh approximately 20' wide, which consists of Salt Meadow Hay (Spartina patens) and Black Needlerush (Juncus roemerianus) The coastal wetlands then transition waterward to a band of low marsh approximately 25' wide, which consists of Salt Marsh Cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) The waters of the AIWW adjacent to the project site are classified as SA by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality They are NOT designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries, and they are OPEN to the harvest of shellfish PROPOSED PROJECT. The applicant is proposing to dredge a new access channel to connect the boat ramp to an existing channel which runs parallel to Pelican Walk The proposed dimensions of the dredging would measure 110 in length by 20' in width The applicant proposes to dredge a channel running 60' west, which would then turn in a southerly direction and extend another 50' in length by 20' in width to connect to the existing channel The area would be dredged to a depth of -4' at NLW The area currently ranges in depth from —0 8' to —2 0' at NLW The proposed disposal area is on the highground portion of the property, and would measure 80 in length h\ 100 in width The applicant proposes to remove the excavated material using barge and bue.l,et '\ppiom m,aL + cubic yards of material would be excavated It should be noted that the applicant previously sought authorization to dredge a channel to the boat ramp in his application for State Permit Number 76 -04 This request was later withdrawn in response to objections from the Division of Marine Fisheries and the Division of Water Quality, which stated the new dredge work would result in significant adverse impacts to resources 127 Cardinal Drive Ext , Wilmington, North Carolina 28405 -3845 Phone 910 -796 -72151 FAX 910 - 395 -39641 Internet www nccoastalmanagement net An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer — 50% Recycled 110% Post Consumer Paper 10 ANTICIPATED IMPACTS The excavation of the channel would disturb approximately 2,200 ft 2 of shallow bottom It is likely that the proposed dredging would impact SAV or SAV habitat The dredging operation would likely result in a temporary increase in turbidity The high ground disposal would result in approximately 8 000 square feet of land disturbance Submitted by- Heather Coats Date: Januaryl9, 2007 Office Wilmington 127 Cardinal Drive Ext , Wilmington, North Carolina 28405 -3845 Phone 910 -796 -72151 FAX 910 - 395 -39641 Internet www nccoastalmanagement net An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer — 50% Recyded 110% Post Consumer Paper Narrative of Modification of Mayor permits Project Pecan Grove boat access dredge request Modification to permit # 76 -04 David Greer, Inc 137 Skystasail dr Wilmington NC 28409 Dear Committee Members, In our request to dredge the boat ramp and access channel off Pelican Walk, we were granted a permit to dredge the access channel We have completed the dredging of this area We requested to dredge the 110' at the boat ramp and was turned down due to the thought that under water grasses were present Since then we have requested to have this area looked at again by marine fisheries and after doing so, no eel grass was found We would now wish to finish up our dredging project to connect the main channel to the boat ramp Please keep in mind that this only consists of approximately 90 feet or so The pecan home owners use this ramp now, but it is difficult to launch at low tides We will be dredging with barge and bucket, and transporting to the spoil site with a bob cat We currently have silt fence in place from phase one of the dredging and will continue to use this area for the remainder of the project We agreed in phase one to only unload at high tides and will still continue to do this for the remainder of the dredging requested for We only hope at this time that you will grant us perriussion to finish up this project so that we may release this property to the home owners of Pecan Grove This is the only thing we have left to do that was looked at in 2003 and was recommended by cama that we should not have any problems doing Thank you for your consideration in this grave matter and we will await your decision RECEIVED DCM WILMINGTON, NC JAN 0 3 2007 Form DCM -MP -1 AIPPLICATI ®N (To be completed by all applicants) b City, town, community or landmark 1.
