PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to install six 5'xI0' P.W.C. lifts next to their existing pier on the Pamlico River. East Carolina Council —Boy Scouts of America 419 Boy Scout Road—Jetski Lift Project Beaufort County Project setting The East Carolina Council and Boy Scouts of America has submitted a CAMA Major Permit application for the installation of 6 Personal Watercraft Lifts(PWC)along the existing pier located on camp property off SR 1189 at 419 Boy Scout Road adjacent to the Pamlico River in Blounts Creek Beaufort County,North Carolina. Currently the project site is developed with cabin camp sites,multiple storage buildings,maintained upland grass yard landward of a riprapped shoreline, pier with platform, and 1 wetslip. The site is ±19,149,847ft2 in size and faces the Pamlico River on the north side of the property. The project site has ±7600 linear feet of shoreline along the Pamlico River with an approximate elevation ranges of l'-20'above NWL. The length of the shoreline along the river is bordered by beach areas as well as areas with existing riprap revetments in place. There are areas of upland grasses between the riprapped shoreline and the existing cabins and storage buildings. Both the upstream (west) and downstream (east) properties have developed home sites and have installed shoreline stabilization in the form of riprap and vertical bulkheads. The upstream property has a pier with platform and the downstream property has a pier, platform, and boatlift. This area of the Pamlico River is classified as SB NSW by the Environmental Management Commission at the project site. The Pamlico River is classified as coastal fishing waters at this site and the site is not located in a primary nursery area. At the time of field visit by DCM staff no SAV's were present. The property is subject to the Tar-Pamlico Riparian Buffer rules enforced by the N.C. Division of Water Resources. Project description The applicant proposes the installation of six 5' x 10' PWC lifts along both sides of the existing pier. The PWC lifts will be located in Estuarine Waters and the Public Trust Area AEC. Anticipated impacts The addition of six PWC lifts will result in short-term localized turbidity from the installation of the 6 poles required for each lift. Ashley Grandy-- 24 May 2022 CAMA Major Project Narrative The East Carolina Council for Boy Scouts of America is proposing to build six jet ski lifts on an existing pier. The dimensions for each jet ski lift will be 5' x 10'. The contractor will have to use a barge, excavator with vibrating head to install for the jet ski lifts. The existing wet slip will stay in place and will not have the contractor remove that wet slip. I feel that getting the jet skis out of the water and onto the lifts will prolong the life of the jet skis. • The project proponent hereby certifies that all information contained herein is true, accurate, and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. • The project proponent hereby requests that the certifying authority review and take action on this CWA 401 certification request within the applicable reasonable period of time CAMA Major Proiect Narrative The East Carolina Council for Boy Scouts of America is proposing to build six jet ski lifts on an existing pier.The dimensions for each jet ski lift will be 5' x 10'.
