PROJECT SUMMARY: Applicant proposes to install a new 87' vinyl bulkhead located an average distance of 14' water ward of normal water level. Project Setting The site of the proposed development is located on the Little River, in Pasquotank County, at 211 Poplar Drive, SR #1119 Elizabeth City. The property is approximately 20,037 sq. ft. (0.46 acres) in size and is elevated approximately 5' above Normal Water Level (NWL). Existing manmade features on the property consist of a single family dwelling with an attached garage and paved driveway, a maintained yard vegetated with indigenous grasses, a small storage shed, existing bulkhead, existing pier and platform, and an existing covered boatlift. The adjacent riparian properties to the south and north are similarly developed lots with single family dwellings with stabilized shorelines_ The property to the north has existing rip rap that extends approximately 14' out past the applicants existing bulkhead. The Division of Environmental Management classifies the waters within the project area of the Little River as SC and these waters are closed to shellfish harvest. The average depth of water where the development is being proposed is approximately 3' with muddy sand substrate with no SAV present. Development Proposal The applicant proposes to construct a new 87' vinyl bulkhead to replace the existing failing wooden bulkhead. The new bulkhead has an alignment extending out a maximum of 20' with an average of 14' water ward of the existing bulkhead. The new bulkhead alignment will result in a straight structure that aligns with the riprap on the adjacent property to the north and with the bulkhead on the adjacent property to the south. Wing Field Investigation Report Clarence Richards, Pasquotank County Page 3 walls will be installed on both ends of the bulkhead. The wing wall on the south end of the bulkhead will extend 12' inland. The wing wall on the north end of the bulkhead will extend 10' inland. The new bulkhead will have an elevation 15" above the existing bulkhead's height. The applicant is proposing this new alignment in hopes that the new straight bulkhead will be a more secure structure and will not catch as much debris along the shoreline. Anticipated Impacts 1. The new bulkhead alignment will result in 1,218 sq. ft. of Public Trust and, Estuarine Waters, Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC's) to be filled. 2. The new bulkhead will result in 1,740 sq. ft. of Estuarine Shoreline (AEC) to be filled and graded. 3.158 cubic yards of fill will be placed below Normal Water Level (NWL).

The application proposes to replace the existing bulkhead on this property. New bulkhead will extend out 14 ft. toward water from existing bulkhead on north property boundary to connect with existing riprap structure on property owned by Tina Paul. New bulked will terminate on south property boundary at existing bulkhead adjacent to property owned by James Brinkley. The maximum distance water ward of new bulkhead from the existing bulkhead is 20 ft. Wing walls will be installed at both ends of the new bulkhead. The south wall will extend 12 feet inland from new bulkhead. The north wall will extend 10 feet inland from the existing bulkhead. The new bulkhead will finish at 15" above the existing bulkhead height. Project Description: Project consists of the following elements: • Remove a portion of the existing pier • Construct new bulkhead • Backfill area behind new bulkhead • Grade property to new bulkhead height Existing Conditions: The site currently has a pier, a covered boatlift, and set of steps attached. There is no submerged aquatic vegetation along the shoreline of the property and no coastal wetland in front of the bulkhead. Methods of Construction: New bulkhead will be constructed of vinyl material with wooden waler, backboard, and top cap. Vinyl wall will be anchored to wooden deadmen using steel tiebacks. Area behind bulkhead will be backfilled with sand obtained from local sand distributor. Project Schedule: Construction will begin as when CAMA permit is issued and County building permit is obtained.
