1) Temporary Corridor(s)

To minimize the impact to the entire shoreline and buffer, property owner requests to have 2
temporary access corridors (in lieu of one main access point). (See additional drawing).

Viewing from the property, one access corridor will be closer to the right, near the beach
area, placing approximately 40 ft of riprap. (10x40) The second access point will be closer
to the left side, placing approximately 60 ft of riprap. (10x60)

Total temporary impacts will be a total of 1000-1200 sqft. (See additional sketches)

2) Water Drainage Issue

Viewing from the property, water runoff has created a ravine approximately 75 feet in
length, 5 ft wide in some areas and a bank of 7 to 8 ft. (See Pic 1, 5) This runoff passes
directly through the buffer and is currently draining into the lake at the beach area of the
property. (See Pic 2, 3, 6). Some areas are pooling water along the way, until rainfall. (See
Pic 4)

The property owner is requesting insight and suggestions on how to manage this area
within the buffer. If cost effective and approved by NCDWR, they plan to correct this issue,
based on your recommendation(s), while working on the riprap project.

3) Restoration Plan

Temporary: To prevent soil runoff into the lake during riprap placement, the contractor is
prepared to utilize silt fence(s) if necessary.
Also, the property owner will place straw and/or rye immediately after project completion to
stabilize property and prepare for permanent restoration.

Permanent: Property owner will restore and replant with comparable vegetation and native
tree for native tree, within 2 months of job completion. They will also plant additional trees to
stabilize property as well. Also, property owner will maintain and monitor all newly planted
vegetation, to ensure the health for long term existence.
