A pre -permitting meeting with all appropriate agencies was held on
8/4/2020.
Proposed park project consists of four amenities, a swim beach, three

natural surtace trail (greenway) sections, eleven fishing piers, and
three pedestrian bridges along the trail system.
The swim beach is proposed to be constructed along the western
shoreline of the main park area providing direct water access to the
largest quarry on the property. Several locations along quarry
shorelines were analyzed to determine the best possible area for safe
water access and minimal impacts to vegetation, jurisdictional areas,
and riparian buffers. The majority of the shoreline area within the
park property is heavily vegetated with scrub shrub wetland species
or is eroded and near vertical. The proposed swim beach area
provides a gently sloped and mostly cleared access to the largest
body of water (quarry) on the property. This area has been
historically used for mining operations and has been disturbed for
quite some time resulting in minimal vegetation outside of typical lawn
grass and weed species. No intensive grading will be required as the
natural slope is adequate for beach access.
Once the vegetation and organic material is removed the area will be
backfilled with clean sand and brought back to natural grade.
Wetland G along the shoreline has naturalized but is still in an early
successional stage with sycamore, black willow, and red cedar
saplings, and shrub species such as wax myrtle and groundseltree.
Silt fencing will be used during construction activities to control off site
sedimentation. After analyzing shoreline areas within the property,
this area proved to be ideal as it requires the least land disturbance
both within and beyond the buffer areas. The swim beach area will
total 0.03-acres of clean sand once completed.The fill associated with
the swim beach is assumed to be a prohibited activity within the buffer
areas. A request for a buffer variance has been submitted to NCDWR
for review.The three natural surface trail sections totaling approx.
8,057 LF were designed to avoid impacts to jurisdictional features
and buffers. Due to site topography and access limitations, some
sections of the trail will encroach on buffer areas. Trail construction
will result in 19,490 SF of impacts in Zone 1 and 8,290 SF of impacts
in Zone 2. During trail construction no built upon area will added
within the riparian buffer and the installation will not result in the
removal of tree(s). Trail width will be limited to 10'. The trail surface
will consist of natural underlying materials, sand/gravel/marl, that
exists on the property. Topsoil and organic material will be removed
to expose the underlying material and backfilled with the same if
necessary to maintain positive drainage and prevent ponding. The 11
fishing pier locations were chosen to avoid impacts to jurisdictional
features. Pier construction will result in buffer impacts.Pier access
width will be equal to or less than six feet wide and will not result in
the removal of tree(s) within the riparian buffer and will not result in
the addition of built upon area to the riparian buffer. Access trails will
be constructed to match natural surface trails. Pier platforms are
proposed to be 10' x40' to allowfor handicap access, multiple users,
fishing activities, and canoe/kayak launching. Piers will be secured to
the quarry beds via driven 8" pillings.
Three pedestrian bridges are proposed for stream crossings along
the trail system. These bridges will cross unnamed tributaries which
flow into the existing quarries. Bridges are designed to avoid impacts
to wetlands, stream channels, and flow regimes. Each bridge will
impact equal to or less than one -tenth of an acre of riparian buffer.
Silt fencing will be used as needed during all land disturbing activities
to control sedimentation and removed once impacted areas have
been stabilized. Any stream bank or shoreline areas that may be
disturbed during construction activities will be stabilized immediately
upon completion. Areas will be stabilized using fully
biodegradable coir matting and a native riparian seed mix.
