8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to extend an existing dock 6' x 72' and construct a 4 -pile
dolphin cluster for the purpose of mooring commercial fishing vessels.
Williams Seafood
Town of Engelhard
Far Creek
Hyde County
Project Setting
The project site is located off SR 1101 at 199 Goshen Back Road in the Town of Engelhard
adjacent Far Creek in Hyde County, North Carolina. The project site consists of two adjacent
parcels owned by Williams Seafood of Engelhard. One parcel is currently used as a harbor of
refuge for commercial fishing vessels with an existing man made basin, bulkhead and a 6' x 80'
dock. Commercial fishing vessels moor "side to" the bulkhead and dock. The second parcel
adjacent to and west of the aforementioned parcel, was formerly developed as Mount Pleasant
Church. This parcel has limited highground around the church building. There is a Coastal
Wetland marsh vegetated primarily with black needlerush (Juncus roemerianus) between the
building and Far Creek. The west side of this parcel is bordered by another basin that extends
landward toward Goshen Road to an existing boat ramp. Flooding events from various hurricane
events damaged the church to the point that services were discontinued. Williams Seafood
purchased the property to expand their ability to moor commercial fishing vessels. The building
is used to store commercial fishing equipment.
Water depths in Far Creek adjacent to the existing dock are 6' to 7' below the normal water
level and deepen as you move offshore. Water depths in the Creek offshore the "church property"
are shallow (minus 2' to 3' below the NWL) adjacent to the Coastal Wetland marsh but deepen to
6' to 7' approximately 25' offshore in line with the existing dock to the east and bulkhead comer
on the neighboring property to the west. Water depths in the Federal channel offshore range from
12' to 14' below the NWL. The Federal channel offshore is maintained by the Wilmington District
US Army Corps of Engineers. The Federal channel setback line is approximately 29' offshore the
marsh shoreline. Far Creek is designated as Coastal Waters by the Marine Fisheries Commission
and SC HQW by the Environmental Management Commission. Far Creek is also designated as a
Primary Nursery Area by the NC Division of Marine Fisheries and is closed to shellfishing.
Project (Description
The applicant proposes to extend the existing pile supported dock 6' wide x 72' long in a
westerly direction across the front of the second parcel with the church building. The dock will
align with the existing dock and the bulkhead comer on the neighboring property to the west. A
4 -pile dolphin cluster is proposed on the end of the new dock to fend off trawlers during docking
activities. The neighboring property owner to the west has also requested the dolphin cluster to
assist barge traffic utilizing the neighboring property to the west. The adjacent western property
owner has waived the State required 15' setback from the riparian line. The purpose of extending
the existing dock is to provide additional "side to" mooring of commercial fishing vessels selling
to Williams Seafood located directly across Far Creek from the project site. The proposed dock
will be inshore and adjacent to the setback line off the Federal channel.

Dear Mr. Trowell:
Enclosed is a Major CAMA permit application for the enlargement of an existing dock on
my property located at 199 Goshen Back road in the Town of Engelhard adjacent Far Creek. The
project also includes 1-4 pile dolphin cluster at the end of the 6' x 72' dock expansion. The dolphin
cluster is to protect the dock from barge traffic using the adjacent property as well as from
commercial trawlers using my dock. The adjacent landowner, Mr. Ben Simmons III has waived
the 15' riparian setback for the dolphin cluster and dock. This site provides mooring for
commercial fishing vessels selling to my wholesale commercial fishhouse, Williams Seafood,
located directly across Far Creek.
Thank you for your time and guidance in preparation of the application package. If you
any questions please let me know.
Sincerely
Sammy Williams
Williams Seafood
