Ben and Judy McPherson
1005 Small Dr
Elizabeth City NC 27909
5/5/2022
To whom it may concern,
We are asking for a minor modification to our existing major permit
number 2-22. We propose to add bulkheading of entire water side of
property starting from the SW corner with a wing wall turning up
property side of drainage ditch approximately 5ft, not obstructing ditch,
going around small existing peninsula following waters edge back to
land and go due NE approximately 100LF on landward side of existing
cypress tree to beginning of permitted boat basin. Bulkheading will
continue around basin as permit reads and run another approximate
36LF with another 5ft wing wall that will return into the property prior
to existing wetlands. We will be using plastic sheet piling with wood
topper. CAMA Representative Cynthia Rountree has visited the site and
has seen conditions as which we are requesting. Attached is a revised
drawing showing intentions of which we are requesting.
Thanks

To whom it may concern,
I Ben McPherson, have planned to install up to 21OLF of sheet pile bulkhead along
water edge of property, 75LF of 8 feet wide deck parallel along shore line from
center of property to outside of 15 feet off back property corner along creeks
edge. In the center of the 75LF run will be a 3O'X15' boat basin at a depth of
approximately 5 feet with plastic sheet panels all the way around to secure shore.
This boat basin will have a boat lift installed with a roof approximately 1Oft high.
The structure will be 26.5'x15'. The walls to this lift area will be open on all sides.
The basin will have approximately 75LF of 4 feet wide decking all the way around
on 3 sides of it. This dock and basin with lift will be for personal use only and
convenience of fishing and ease of using boat when needed. There may be a
proposed garage that may be built in the future which will maintain at minimum
30 feet on creeks edge and 10 feet off property line. The existing home is well
more than 30 feet from boat basin. Proposed garage will be 45ft deep by 4Oft
wide.
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.
