adjacent to the AIWW, in Masonboro Sound

UNCW -CMS c/o John Morrison
Page 2
9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION.
The project site is located at 5600 Marvin K Moss Lane in New Hanover County The property is adjacent to
the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) /Masonboro Sound and is the location of the Center For Marine
Science (CMS) facility owned and operated by the University of North Carolina at Wilmington To locate the
property traveling south on College Road, take a left onto Mohican Trail and travel east approximately 1 3
miles Turn right onto Masonboro Loop Road and travel south for approximately 0 6 miles until you reach
Marvin K Moss Lane that will be located on the left at the entrance to the CMS Continue to travel east on
Marvin K Moss Lane for approximately 0 5 miles until it terminates at the property of interest
The high ground property is approximately 48 42 acres and the elevation of the property ranges from
approximately 0' to 27' above normal high water (NHW) Existing highground development on the property
includes marine science research buildings, guard building, parking areas, saltwater treatment equipment
for aquaculture facility, roads, sanitary pump - station and associated stormwater ponds Highground
vegetation consists of maintained ornamental landscaping, lawn grasses, hardwoods and other woody
species including Oak, Pine, Cedar and Dogwood Vegetation bordering the highground of the property
consists primarily of high marsh and low marsh species, which supports §404 and coastal wetlands
vegetation including Wax Myrtle (Myrica cenfera L ), Marsh -elder (Iva frutescens), Grounsel -bush
(Bacchans hallmifolla), Sea Oxeye (Bornchla frutescensl, Salt Meadow Grass (SpartIna patens) and
Smooth Cordgrass (Spartma alterniflora) The high marsh then transitions into an area of low marsh,
approximately 420' in width towards the AIWW, which consists primarily of Smooth Cordgrass (Spartrna
alterniflora) This vegetation also stabilizes the approximately 700' of shoreline
Located at the eastern end of the property, dust waterward of the existing road and cul -de -sac is an existing
research docking facility which currently extends into Masonboro Sound The applicant received CAMA
Major Permit No 103 -92 on 10/02/1992 for the construction of the current docking facility Further, based on
the rules at the time of this permit, the structures were not to exceed 1/3 distance across the waterbody rule,
however, the applicant received an Ordinance through the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners
on 03/08/1993, which amended the local zoning in this location of Masonboro Sound to establish a pier
head line for research purposes This allowed the applicant to exceed the 1/3 distance across the
waterbody rule to locate the existing facility within water depths of approximately -4 0' at mean low water
(MLW)
The current configuration consists of a fixed pier, measuring approximately 756' in length by 10' in width, of
which approximately 320' extends over open water The pier terminates onto an uncovered fixed platform,
measuring approximately 24' in length by 55' in width, which is in a "T- head" configuration There are two (2)
existing floating dock systems located dust landward of the platform, one on each side of the access pier,
each measuring approximately 36' in length by 10' in width, which run parallel to the access pier The
floating docks turn 90° a distance of approximately 23' in length by 8' in width, each running parallel with the
shoreline and channel, creating an "L- shaped" configuration The existing docking facility could potentially
provide docking space for up to four (4) vessels, one of which is for the 66' RN Cape Fear, which moors on
the waterward end of the fixed "T- head" platform The application states that the water depth in the location
of these structures is approximately -2 0' to -3 0' at normal low water (NLW) There are also numerous
floating research shellfish bags located on the northern side of the existing 1-shaped" floating docks, which
extends approximately 115 towards the north
The applicant received State Permit No 81 -13 on July 2, 2013 for a new floating dock, measuring
approximately 20' in length by 8' in width which extends from the existing floating dock system located on
the north end of the access pier, aforementioned The floating dock is located dust landward of the fixed
platform running perpendicular to the platform The application states that the floating dock is utilized as an
upweller system utilized for nursery culture of bivalve mollusk research and not for docking purposes State
Permit No 81 -13 is due to expire on December 31, 2016 (See Sheets 1 through 4 of 4 Project Narrative)

The City of Wilmington and New Hanover County 2006 Land Use Plan classifies the adjacent waters as
Conservation, and the adjacent high ground portion of the project area as Resource Protection In the
project area, the waters of Masonboro Sound are classified as SA -ORW by the NC Division of Water
Quality, and they are OPEN to the harvest of shellfish These waters ARE designated as a Primary Nursery
Area (PNA), by the Division of Marine Fisheries
PROPOSED PROJECT:
The applicant proposes to expand an existing research docking facility adjacent to the AIWW, in Masonboro
Sound Modifications to the active permit include a new main floating dock, measuring approximately 76' in
length by 8' in width which would extend from the existing "L- shaped" floating dock located on the northern
side of the existing research docking facility, running parallel to the AIWW channel Three (3) floating finger
piers, each measuring approximately 16' in length by 4' in width would extend from this main floating dock
approximately 22' apart, which would run perpendicular to the AIWW channel Three (3) boatlifts, each
measuring approximately 12' in length by 12' in width would be installed, each on the northern side of the
proposed finger piers A new floating dock extension, measuring approximately 17' in length by 8' in width
would extend from the existing "L- shaped" floating dock located on the southern side of the existing docking
facility, which would run parallel to the AIWW channel Two (2) boatlifts, one (1) measuring approximately
12' in length by 12' in width would be installed on the landward side of the "L- shaped" floating dock and one
(1) measuring approximately 151n length by 15' in width would be installed on the waterward side of the "-
shaped" floating dock
The application states that the expansion would accommodate an additional six (6) research vessels for a
total of ten (10) slips at this location The application also states that the landward side of the proposed main
floating dock on the northern end of the facility would be utilized for access to the existing shellfish research
area and vessel dockage would be prohibited The application states that the water depth in the location of
the proposed structures range from approximately -2 0' to -3 0' at NLW (See Sheets 1 through 4 of 4 and
Project Narrative)
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The proposed new docking structures would incorporate 1,553 sq ft of Estuarine Waters and Public Trust
Areas The structure would not encroach into the adjacent 15' riparian corridor setback requirements nor the
80' setback from the AIWW federal channel Further, the proposed structures would not extend beyond the
established pier head line for the existing research facility Minor turbidity increases may be expected during
the construction process

Overview
The University of North Carolina Wilmington's Center for Marine Science is
proposing to install a floating dock expansion to the existing research pier facilities
located at 5600 Marvin K Moss Lane in Wilmington, NC
Upon consulting with NCDENR representatives it has been determined that normal
low water level at the proposed project site is 3'(NLW) and a the proposed facility
will result in 10 overall berths for research vessels
Upon completion the facility will allow dockage of research vessels including 4 dry
berths to accommodate 16' -20' john boats /flat bottom center consoles, 4 wet berths
to accommodate 16' -20' boats /flat bottom center consoles, 1 dry berth to
accommodate the 35' R/V Seahawk and 1 wet berth to accommodate the 66' R/V
Cape Fear
Existing Facilities
The project involves expansion of the existing dock facilities Existing facilities
include a fixed research pier with additional floating dock structures Current
structures allow for the wet dockage of 5 research vessels. Potable water and
electrical services are provided to support marine operations
To the west, at the end of the fixed research pier, one wet slip provides dockage for
the 66' R/V Cape Fear.
To the north, floating dock accommodates one wet slip for a 16' -20' research vessel
The west side of the north floating dock structure has been designated as a shellfish
research test farm area in which boat dockage /access is prohibited at all times (see
drawing C4)
To the south, floating dock accommodates three wet slips for 16' -20' research
vessels

Proposed Facilities
The proposed project will add additional floating dock structures, finger piers and
boatlifts to provide a total of ten overall slips, five wet slips and five dry slips
Electrical and potable water systems will be extended from the existing structures
to the proposed floating dock to support marine operations and research
To the west, at the end of the fixed research pier, one existing, unaltered wet slip
will provide dockage for the 66' R/V Cape Fear.
To the north, floating dock structures will be extended and finger piers will be
constructed to provide three dry berths and three wet berths The west side of the
north floating dock structure has been designated as a shellfish research test farm
area in which boat dockage /access is prohibited at all times therefore additional
pilings to restrict access and no docking cleats will be installed.
To the south two boatlifts will be installed in existing slip locations to provide dry
berths for research vessels One existing wet slip will remain unaltered Floating
dock structure will be added to the south providing access to load /unload the 35'
R/V Seahawk
The construction of the proposed floating dock system will consist of treated
timbers, ranging from 2x6 to 2x12, fastened together with various stainless steel
and galvanized hardware to prevent structural failures resulting from salt -water
corrosion The floating dock system will be secured in place with the installation of
10 -12" treated pilings and galvanized hardware All timber will be specified to be
compatible for salt -water contact to extend the life cycle of the structure and reduce
maintenance costs
The floating dock and finger pier sections will be constructed on land and then
trailered to a local boat ramp and floated into place and secured to 10 -12" pilings
Once the structure is secured, electrical distribution will be provided to support the
addition of four high -speed boatlifts that will be installed with stainless steel,
galvanized and aluminum components to prevent salt -water corrosion Potable
water plumbing to the structure will then be installed
