---------------------------
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
The project site is a 35 acre single family subdivision located off of Highway 24 in the Newport
area of Carteret County. The subdivision lies adjacent to Bogue Sound, east of Jumpin' Run
Creek. The lots average 1/2 acre in size, with an average site elevation of 12' above mean sea
level. The residences are existing, as are finger piers and a community boatramp. The shoreline
has been stabilized by a vertical bulkhead. Residences in the development are serviced by
private wells and septic systems.
The project site is carries a Carteret County Land Use Plan classification of Developed outside of
the CAMA AEC, and Conservation within the CAMA AEC. The Division of Marine Fisheries
has not designated the waters of Bogue Sound at this site as Primary Nursery Area; the area is
closed to the taking of shellfish for consumption; the Division of Water Quality classifies the
waters as SA.
There is a peninsula extending approximately 320' into Bogue Sound which is owned by the
Somerset Plantation HOA. The association docks extend westward from this peninsula, which is
stabilized with a traditional bulkhead. This area is vegetated with typical lawn grasses. There
was a pier to serve the homeowners extending from the point of the peninsula. There is no marsh
grass around the point of the peninsula, nor is there any evidence of shellfish or SAV beds. The
SAV beds to the east side do not extend to within the project area. The substrate in the project
area is very sandy. The applicants have received CAMA General #021193-C to place riprap
waterward of the bulkhead for a distance of 5', and replace the pier. After discussions with their
marine contractor, the applicants have now determined that 5' is not sufficient, and have
consequently applied for a major CAMA permit.
The existing bulkhead is failing. The structure has a low profile construction, and consequently,
storm waters have flowed over the wall, causing stress and resulting in a "bowing" effect.
Portions of the fill behind the wall have washed out as well. The deadmen have pulled forward,
and tiebacks are exposed. The contractor has determined that he cannot construct a sufficient
rock structure to support the failing wall within the 5' area allowed under the General Permit. I
would concur with this assessment. Replacement of the bulkhead is not financially feasible for
the HOA. Therefore, they are requesting to place the rock for a distance of 6' to 10' waterward of
the wall around the point, for a length of 250'. Although the application requests 6' to 10', site
evaluations and discussions with the contractor have led me to believe that the structure will be
constructed to an average overall width of 10'. Additionally, the applicant will perform some
maintenance work to the bulkhead, in the form of tieback and deadman replacement, with the
need for additional fill. The proposal is to fill a 40' x 15' high ground area that has scoured
behind the wall during recent hurricanes.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The project as proposed will require the filling of approximately 600 square feet of high ground,
and approximately 2500 square feet of sandy, shallow bottom area within Bogue Sound.
