Project Summary: The proposed project is for the removal of a four piling boatlift along the existing pier, the replacement of the removed lift with a single pole jet -ski lift as well as the construction of a second pier with platform and boatlifts along Bogue Sound. 9. Narrative DescriQtion: The Ted and Jewell Ivey project is located at 1803 highway 24 within Newport, Carteret County. The site is found by following highway 24 east past the Gales Creek Bridge. It is approximately 3,503' (.66 miles) east of the gales creek bridge. You will turn south onto the existing driveway which is distinguished by a black rod iron type fence with stone columns. The residential property is 5.9 acres (257,004sf) in its entirety and 9' above nhw. Bogue Sound runs along the south side of the property. The upland vegetation mainly consists of lawn grasses, shrubs, palms and oak trees. There is a 50' x 324'section of coastal wetlands along the 324' of shoreline on Bogue Sound. The waters of Bogue Sound have approximately 2.5'to 3' lunar tidal amplitude. The Division of Water Quality classifies this area as HQW /SA Waters. This area of Bogue Sound is not designated as a Primary Nursery Area and is open to the taking of shellfish. The Carteret County Land Use Plan classifies this area as Limited Transition with Conservation within the AECs. Although the ICWW is located approximately 1,403' from the proposed pier there is a historic channel that is utilized within this area. This channel would be located approximately 580' from all proposed development. Water depths within this project location are - 2.5'nlw /mlw with connecting water depths of -3' plus nlw /mlw. The bottom substrate is sand. Bogue Sound is approximately 11,500' wide at this location. 10) Proposed Development: The applicant wishes to remove a four pole boatlift on the existing pier and replace with a single pole jet -ski lift as well as construct a boardwalk and second longer pier on the western portion of the property. There is an existing shorter (210') 2 -slip docking facility along the eastern portion of the property; however, due to the shallow water depths and SAV habitat, the applicants are asking for the construction of an additional 454' pier, platform and slips with boatlifts along Bogue Sound for the western side. This area has a smaller span of SAV habitat and deeper water depths. The only change that would occur on the existing eastern docking facility would be the removal of the existing boatlift and replacing it with a 7' x 10' single pole jet -ski lift. Field Investigation Report Ted and Jewell Ivey 1803 highway 24 Page 3 of 3 Due to the shallow water depths over SAV habitat and the location of the existing eastern shorter pier, which is located over a sandy shoaled SAV area with water depths < 1' nlw, the applicant is proposing a second longer (5' x 454' from the edge of marsh) pier along the western portion of the property. In order to achieve the necessary depths to span this shallow SAV habitat, the pier would need to exceed 400' from the edge of marsh. The water depths from 400' to 467' would maintain the required rate of 1' of fall as well as the deeper water depths ( >2' nlw) over the SAV habitat. The pier would intersect an 8' x 12' T -head platform with a 13' x 13' boatlift to the east as well as one to the west of the platform. The most waterward portion of the boatlifts would not exceed a maximum distance of 467' from the edge of marsh. All parts of the docking facility would be landward of the historical channel (approximately 575' landward) and a distance of 36' from the western riparian corridor and 71' from the eastern riparian corridor. There would be a total of four slips (2 spaces at the existing pier and 2 new along the new pier). The water depths within the new slip areas for the proposed western dock are -2.5' nlw /mlw with connecting water depths of -3' plus nlw /mlw. There are piers along the shoreline to the east and west of this property that extend farther offshore than this proposal. 11. Anticipated Impacts: The proposed dock would shade and incorporate 2270 ft2 of shallow bottom SAV habitat, shade 96 Wand incorporate 494 ft2 of open water (non SAV), shade 100 ft2 of high marsh and 75 ft2 of low marsh. The development would increase the number of slips to a total of 4 (2 existing and 2 new). The placement of the jet -ski lift within the existing slip area along the existing eastern pier has the potential to reduce impacts due to the smaller size (removal of larger boatlift). The proposed placement of the western new pier, platform and boat lifts would reduce the likelihood of prop scarring and incidental prop dredging of the existing SAV habitat. The deeper water depths ( >- 2'nlw) within the new pier location and the shorter distance that the applicants would need to traverse in order to reach the deeper water has the potential to help preserve and re- establish the SAV habitat closer inland. The increase in suspended sediment and turbidity levels from the pier placement would be temporary, occur while the pier placement is taking place and should be minimal given the bottom composition. The location of the proposed docking facility should not be a hindrance to navigation due to the fact all portions would be located landward of the historical channel (575') however it is recommended to add reflectors (meeting Coast Guard Standards) for safety due to the proposed length.

November 22, 2013 Date Project Name Jewel and Ted Ivey Applicant Name Ap icant Sign re RECEM { NOV 2 2 2013 D�'V.Wc1TY Ted and Jewel Ivey Carteret County Project Narrative Introduction Ted and Jewel Ivey are the owners of a single - family residential parcel located at 1803 Highway 24 in Carteret County adjacent Bogue Sound. The project site includes an existing pier with one boat lift and one single -pole jet -ski lift. Mr. and Mrs. Ivey propose to replace the existing boat lift with a single -pole jet -ski lift and construct a second pier with associated highground walkway, platform, and two boat lifts. Site Description The Ivey property consists of 5.9 acres. It fronts both Bogue Sound and Highway 24 and is zoned by Carteret County for residential use. An existing residence and detached garage are being renovated. The project site is accessible from a driveway that runs from Highway 24 to the house at the waterward end of the parcel. The portion of the parcel adjacent Highway 24 is wooded, with the area immediately surrounding the house containing landscape vegetation and grass. A number of mature trees are located along the waterfront and elsewhere on the property. A fringe of coastal wetlands ranging in width from about 15' to 25' is found along the shoreline of the property. An existing block retaining wall is located along a portion of the waterfront and landward of a grassy lawn area and the fringe of coastal wetlands. The shoreline along Normal High Water (NHW) measures 324'. The existing pier is located on the east side of the property. It is 210' in length, measured from the waterward edge of marsh, and is 5' in width. The docking facility contains a roofed platform measuring 16' x 14' at the waterward end, with steps into the water to access an existing boat lift located on the eastern side. A single -pole jet -ski lift is located at the western end of the platform. The existing pier length is consistent with the pier head line along this shoreline, as shown on aerial photographs. Normal Low Water (NLW) depths at the waterward end of the existing pier measure less than -1.0. Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) is observed in the area adjacent Ted and Jewel Ivey Major CAMA Permit Application RECEIVED November 22, 2013 Page 1 NOV 2 2 2013 DCM MHD CITY and waterward of the pier, with a sandbar visible approximately 80' to 100' waterward of the existing pier. Photographs taken from the existing pier clearly show scrape marks through SAV's caused by boats attempting to navigate the shallow water in the pier head vicinity. An historic channel used by local residents to access deep water is visible on aerial photos of the area. The location and orientation of the historic channel were used to determine the riparian corridor for the Ivey project site and adjacent properties. The Intracoastal Waterway is located approximately 835' beyond the edge of the deep water historic channel. The highground topography is relatively flat, with an approximate elevation of + 9' NHW that slopes to the water at the shoreline. The waters of Bogue Sound at the project site are classified as SA HQW by the Environmental Management Commission and are open to the harvesting of shellfish. Bogue Sound is approximately 13,000 feet wide at the project site. There are no shellfish leases adjacent to or within close proximity of the project. Several large single - family residential parcels are located to the west along Bogue Sound. Deep Bay, a single - family residential subdivision, is located immediately to the east of the Ivey property. Elmer Sprinkle is the adjacent riparian property owner to the east. Lynn Turner Lee is the adjacent riparian property owner to the west. Project Description The owners propose to modify the existing pier located on the eastern portion of the property. They also propose to build a new pier with highground elevated walkways, platform, and two boat lifts to the west of the existing pier. The existing pier currently includes one boat lift and one single -pole jet -ski lift. The owners propose to replace the existing boat lift with another single -pole jet -ski lift. They plan to utilize the existing dock as a pedestrian pier and for dockage of jet -skis, thus lessening the impact to resources from boat traffic. They propose to relocate their full -size boat to the new, longer dock with boat slips located in deeper water (minimum of -2' NLW) than found at the existing dock. The new pier will measure 454' x 5' and will be located to the west of the existing pier. A t- head platform measuring 8' x 12' will be positioned at the waterward end, with two boatlifts measuring 13' x 13' located adjacent the platform. The new pier will be accessed by means of Ted and jewel Ivey RECEMED Major CAMA Permit Application November 22, 2013 NOV 2 2 2013 Page 2 DCM- MffD CrrY two elevated, slatted walkways located on high ground. The walkways will measure 46'x 5' and 38' x 5' as shown on project plans and are necessitated by the relatively high elevation of the high ground portion of the property. The pier will be elevated a minimum of 3' above the substrate as it crosses over the wetlands along the shoreline. The new pier will be utilized by full -size boats (typically 25' or less), with the existing shorter pier used for pedestrian and jet -ski access. Placement of the new pier was determined by the location of normal low water depths of -2' NLW at the point closest to shore, thus limiting as much as possible the new pier length. The length of the proposed pier will exceed the existing pier head line along this shoreline. However, because NLW depths at the end of the proposed pier measure -2', the owners are requesting that the proposed pier be used to establish a new pier head line. This area of Bogue Sound is characterized by shallow water, shoals, and SAVs, while pier length has been controlled by the length of existing piers that typically end in less than -2' NLW. By establishing a longer pier head line, boat traffic through shallow shoal /SAV areas will be avoided at the Ivey site, thus minimizing/reducing impacts to SAVs. As shown on the attached photos (taken while standing on the existing shorter pier located in -1' NLW), adherence to the existing pier head line does not minimize impact to resources. The proposed dock will not encroach into the federal channel setback, as designated by the US Army Corps of Engineers. At its closest point, the waterward end of the dock will be approximately1405' landward of the edge of the federal channel. Since Bogue Sound is about 13,000' wide at this point, the proposed pier length is consistent with the one - quarter width rule. The new and modified piers will also comply with the 15' setback from adjacent riparian corridors. On the east, the existing dock is 71' from the riparian corridor. The proposed dock will be located 36' from the western riparian corridor. The proximity of the proposed dock to the adjacent docking facility is 473' on the west. The existing dock on the east of the property is 237' from the next pier on the east. The project also includes repair or replacement of existing components of the existing dock and platform, as may be needed.
