Tom Tomlinson

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project site is located at 304 Gull Road, adjacent to Old Topsail Creek (also known as "Nixon Creek"),
adjacent to the AIWW, in Hampstead, Pender County. To find the project site, travel north (from
Wilmington) on US Highway 17 to Country Club Road, in Hampstead. Turn right onto Country Club road
and travel approximately 1.0 miles before bearing right on Olde Point Road. Continue traveling on Olde
Point Road until you come to the intersection of Olde Point Road and Olde Point Loop Road. Turn right
onto Olde Point Loop Road and then take the next right onto Gull Road. The subject property will be located
on the right hand side of the road at house number 304.
The subject property is developed (residential) and has approximately 223 linear feet of shoreline bordering
Old Topsail Creek. Elevations at the property range from 3' to 13' above the normal high water (NHW)
line. The size of the tract is approximately 31,979 sq. ft., or 0.73 acres. Mature oaks, lawn grasses and
ornamental landscaping make up the high ground vegetation, and Smooth Marsh Cordgrass (Spartina
alterniora) accounts for the adjacent wetland vegetation. Just waterward of the existing bulkhead, the
applicant maintains a private docking facility which consist of a short access pier and an 8' x 60' section of
floating dock (running parallel to the shoreline). Three (3) small scattered patches of Smooth Marsh
Cordgrass existjust waterward of the existing bulkhead. Currently, the normal high water line approximates
the existing bulkhead. The property is located in a residential subdivision at the head of a man-made canal.
Neighboring properties maintain simple piers/docks and the shoreline surrounding the entire basin is
bulkheaded.
Old Topsail Creek (or Nixon Creek) is a channelized waterbody which extends from the AIWW, north to
the Olde Point golf course. The primary run of the creek has been historically dredged (under CAMA
Major 181-04), with permit authorization(s) dating back to the 1960's. The main channel is approximately
9,000 linear feet and runs along the eastern side of Old Topsail Creek. The width of the channel varies,
depending on location, but the average width is approximately 100'. Access to the creek is provide by two
entrance channels located along the north eastern side of the creek, both running perpendicular to the main
channel.
The Pender County Land Use Plan classifies the adjacent waters as Conservation. The waters of the AIWW
and Olde Topsail Creek are classified SA and SA-ORW by the Division of Water Quality. The waters
immediately adjacent to the property ARE NOT designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the N.C.
Division of Marine Fisheries and they are CLOSED to the harvest of shellfish.
PROPOSED PROJECT:
The applicant proposes to install a new bulkhead immediately waterward of an existing, failing bulkhead.
The existing bulkhead is comprised of timber and was installed approximately 20-25 years ago. The existing
tie -backs that support the wall have deteriorated/separated which has caused catastrophic failure to the
wall's vertical timber panels. In addition, excessive rains during the winter of 2015/2016 have further
exacerbated the wall's failure, causing separation of the high ground behind the wall. The applicant wishes
to resolve the walls failure by constructing a new wall immediately waterward of the existing wall, at an
average of P offshore. As a result of the new bulkhead construction, approximately 60 sq. ft. of coastal
wetlands (S. alternii lora) would be impacted (filled), as would approximately 223 sq. ft. of open water area.

Tom Tomlinson
Page 3
High ground disturbance associated with the applicant's proposal would include grading and filling
approximately 4,014 sq. ft. (dead -men and anchoring).
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The proposed bulkhead would fill approximately 60 sq. ft. of Coastal Wetlands (S. alternii lora), and
approximately 223 sq. ft. of Estuarine Waters and Pubic Trust Area. The proposed bulkhead would extend
approximately P beyond the existing wall. Minor increases in turbidity should be expected during
construction.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project site is located at 304 Gull Road, adjacent to Old Topsail Creek (also known as "Nixon Creek"),
adjacent to the AIWW, in Hampstead, Ponder County. To find the project site, travel north (from
Wilmington) on US Highway 17 to Country Club Road, in Hampstead. Turn right onto Country Club road
and travel approximately 1.0 miles before bearing right on Olde Point Road. Continue traveling on Olde
Point Road until you come to the intersection of Olde Point Road and Olde Point Loop Road. Turn right
onto Olde Point Loop Road and then take the next right onto Gull Road. The subject property will be located
on the right hand side of the road at house number 304.
The subject property is developed (residential) and has approximately 223 linear feet of shoreline bordering
Old Topsail Creek. Elevations at the property range from 3' to 13' above the normal high water (NHW)
line. The size of the tract is approximately 31,979 sq. ft., or 0.73 acres. Mature oaks, lawn grasses and
ornamental landscaping make up the high ground vegetation, and Smooth Marsh Cordgrass (Spartina
alterniora) accounts for the adjacent wetland vegetation. Just waterward of the existing bulkhead, the
applicant maintains a private docking facility which consist of a short access pier and an 8' x 60' section of
floating dock (running parallel to the shoreline). Three (3) small scattered patches of Smooth Marsh
Cordgrass existjust waterward of the existing bulkhead. Currently, the normal high water line approximates
the existing bulkhead. The property is located in a residential subdivision at the head of a man-made canal.
Neighboring properties maintain simple piers/docks and the shoreline surrounding the entire basin is
bulkheaded.
Old Topsail Creek (or Nixon Creek) is a channelized waterbody which extends from the AIWW, north to
the Olde Point golf course. The primary run of the creek has been historically dredged (under CAMA
Major 181-04), with permit authorization(s) dating back to the 1960's. The main channel is approximately
9,000 linear feet and runs along the eastern side of Old Topsail Creek. The width of the channel varies,
depending on location, but the average width is approximately 100'. Access to the creek is provide by two
entrance channels located along the north eastern side of the creek, both running perpendicular to the main
channel.
The Pender County Land Use Plan classifies the adjacent waters as Conservation. The waters of the AIW W
and Olde Topsail Creek are classified SA and SA-ORW by the Division of Water Quality. The waters
immediately adjacent to the property ARE NOT designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the N.C.
Division of Marine Fisheries and they are CLOSED to the harvest of shellfish.
PROPOSED PROJECT:
The applicant proposes to install a new bulkhead immediately waterward of an existing, failing bulkhead.
The existing bulkhead is comprised of timber and was installed approximately 20-25 years ago. The existing
tie -backs that support the wall have deteriorated/separated which has caused catastrophic failure to the
wall's vertical timber panels. In addition, excessive rains during the winter of 2015/2016 have further
exacerbated the wall's failure, causing separation of the high ground behind the wall. The applicant wishes
to resolve the walls failure by constructing a new wall immediately waterward of the existing wall, at an
average of P offshore. As a result of the new bulkhead construction, approximately 60 sq. ft. of coastal
wetlands (S. alterniora) would be impacted (filled), as would approximately 223 sq. ft. of open water area.

Tom Tomlinson
Page 3
High ground disturbance associated with the applicant's proposal would include grading and filling
approximately 4,014 sq. ft. (dead -men and anchoring).
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The proposed bulkhead would fill approximately 60 sq. ft. of Coastal Wetlands (S, alterniJlora), and
approximately 223 sq. ft. of Estuarine Waters and Pubic Trust Area. The proposed bulkhead would extend
approximately 1' beyond the existing wall. Minor increases in turbidity should be expected during
construction.
