NCDOT / NC MARITIME MUSEUM BOAT MARINA NARRATIVE
The proposed docks, ramp, etc. for a North Carolina Maritime Museum Boat Marina are to be located on Town
Creek south of the future Gallants Channel Bridge currently under construction in Beaufort. Docks, ramp, etc.
were previously located in the same area.
The NC Maritime Museum property on Gallants Channel has been used for various special events as well as
providing the home to an active Rowing Program, a Junior Sailing Program (JSP), and a Natural Science
Program all served by a Boat Marina located east of the main property. Construction of the Gallants Channel
Bridge has taken the Boat Marina Site along with previously existing gazebo, ramp and docks for necessary right-
of-way where the bridge makes landfall along the new route for Highway 70. Our plan is to return the Junior
Sailing Program and other Boating activities to their original location on Town Creek after the new bridge is
completed. Past permits for this area include permit # 55-98 issued to the Friends of the Museum on May 18,
1998 for pier, dock, ramp & bulkhead, permit #39-01 issued to the Friends of the Museum on April 5, 2001 for
Moorings, and permit #74-09 issued to the Friends of the Museum on June 4, 2009 for floating docks & davits as
well as a recent permit issued to NCDOT (Project R-3307) for construction of the new bridge.
This permit application is for the following:
1. A Mooring Field consisting of five (5) moorings connected by chain to 750# Danforth Anchors. These will be
used for boats of 20 to 40 feet in length. All moorings will have at least a 52 ft. clear swing radius. Locations
will be south of new floats as shown on drawing 1 of 5 attached hereto. These locations are similar to that
previously permitted as shown on the old aerial photo used in drawing 1 of 5 and noted "old docks removed".
2. Approximately 200 LF of Marker Barrier constructed with floats (13" diameter x 18" long colored International
Orange) connected by yellow polypropylene line spaced five feet apart. This barrier will be anchored with 40#
Danforth anchors on each end and a 100# mushroom anchor at the center. This safety barrier will be located
approximately 15 ft. south of the new bridge piers - see drawing 1 of 5 attached hereto. The purpose is to
keep young sailors, 8-15 year-olds, away from the concrete pile caps that are setting down -wind of the
prevailing southerly breezes during the summer. The barrier will be set each year on June 191 and removed
on August 201h of each Junior Sailing season.
3. The previously permitted boat ramp will be replaced as shown on the attached drawings. This ramp will
consist of a bridge approximately 70 LF in length connecting to a concrete ramp approximately 30 LF in
length. The bridge section will be a minimum of 3 feet above the mud line.
4. Docks to be installed south of the new bridge at the previously permitted marina site will allow for sailing and
rowing programs to once again use the quiet waters of Town Creek located south of the new bridge.
The proposed main pier leads off the Boat Ramp Bridge for approximately 64 feet long by 6 feet wide with
connecting ramp to reach the floating dock system. The float system, configured as a "T",will be used for
various boating center activities as well as storage of both 15 ft. day -sailors and 8 ft. Optimist Pram
sailboats on the floats. The end "T" section -west offers storage of up to 8 small sailboats less than 15 ft.
in length as well as a walkway along the outboard (south) side. The "T" section -east provides for storage
of 20 Optimist Prams (stacked on end) and room to moor them during the daily training programs. Two
34 ft. rowing gigs will be hung from davits at the end of the main pier.
2. The second dock and ramp connects to a small float providing a launch area for 21 ft. sliding seat (SS)
rowing hulls and a small float for the Natural Science (NS) Program workboat.
5. The existing upland development (including the entrance drive, parking area, and waterfront bulkhead wall)
will be utilized with the new docks.
6. The original gazebo will be replaced with a similar covered shelter [20'x30'] set a minimum of 30 ft. back from
Mean High Water Line. The gazebo shelter will be elevated on piles so as not to block the flow of storm water
from the adjacent drainage swale.

9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
Project Setting
The project site is located on the south side of SR 1170 at 250 West Beaufort Road within the
Town of Beaufort, Carteret County and is within and adjacent to Town Creek. The site is
composed of two adjoining lots totaling 3.14 acres, with 432' along the waterfront, and
elevations ranging from 0' to 5' above the normal high water elevations of Town Creek. The site
was formerly owned by the N.C. Maritime Museum and provided a base and marina facilities for
the Friends of the N.C. Maritime Museum's Junior Sailing program and other boating programs.
The Junior Sailing program teaches sailing to 8 - 15 year old children through the use of the
program's fleet of 8' to 15' open day -sailers.
The previous facility included a main marina building, an open shelter, an enclosed garage, a
main pier with additional floating docks attached to it, a second pier with an attached finger pier,
a concrete boat ramp, and multiple mooring buoys. The NCDOT acquired the property through
their Right -of -Way acquisition process and currently is in the process of building a new high rise
bridge which crosses over Gallants Channel and lands on the property. In order to construct the
bents for the bridge and provide a construction staging area, the NCDOT removed the marina
facilities, with the intent to reconstruct new marina facilities once the bridge project was
complete.
A majority of the property has been utilized to construct the bents for the bridge and to
provide an area to stage equipment and materials for the project. There is currently a gravel drive
that leads from SR1170, under the footprint of the bridge, to a large graveled staging area along
the waterfront. The southeastern corner of the property is currently vegetated with shrubs and
small trees. A swath of Coastal Wetlands, approximately 30' wide, lies between the open water
and the high ground except where the boat ramp from the former facility used to be. Immediately
south of the old boat ramp location, a wooden bulkhead, 2' tall and 140' in length, runs along a
portion of the waterfront.
The property to the east of the project is the site of Town Creek Marina, with multiple
docking structures and a bulkhead along the waterfront. The property to the west of the project is
still owned by the North Carolina Maritime Museum. The Museum property to the west also has
multiple docking structures and is stabilized with riprap along portions of the shoreline. The new
bridge structure will bisect the project site and the property to the west. The Town of Beaufort's
Land Use Plan categorizes the area of the project site as Mixed Use, with all AEC's classified as
Conservation.
Town Creek is classified as SC waters in the area of the proposed construction by the
Environmental Management Commission and is part of the White Oak River Basin. The N.C.
Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) has classified Town Creek as Coastal Waters but has not
classified it as a Primary Nursery Area. The waters have been closed to shellfish harvesting by
the Shellfish Sanitation Section of the DMF.
Town Creek is over 1,500' wide in the project area, with water depths to -6' below NLW in
the area of the docks, and as deep as -17' below NLW towards the center of the waterway. The
bottom consists of fine to course sand. No submerged aquatic vegetation was observed during
the site visits to the project.

Previous permits for the marina facility include CAM Major Permits #55-98 for the pier,
dock, ramp, bulkhead and mooring buoys, #39-01 for the alternative shoreline stabilization
project, #74-09 for floating docks and davits, and #48-06 for platforms, floating docks and
gangway. NCDOT acquired CAMA Major Permit #37-12 in May 2012 for construction of the
new bridge at the site.
Project Proposal
The applicants propose to reconstruct the marina facility at the project site after completion of the
new bridge. This would be accomplished by constructing a 14' wide x 100' long elevated boat ramp
over the bulkhead, and 3' above the Coastal Wetlands, out into the waters of Town Creek. The
slatted, wooden ramp would begin 15' landward of the bulkhead, extend for 70' toward the creek,
and end with the last 30' constructed of concrete and dipping into the water.
The main pier would begin approximately half way down the south side of the elevated boat
ramp. It would be 6' wide x 59' long, with two sets of davits for gigs on it, and lead via a 6' wide x
20' long gangway to a floating platform configured in the shape of a "T". The center float would be
13' 4" wide x 60' long. The floating platform on the northern side of the "T" would be 60' wide and
20'4" long, and the floating platform on the southern side of the "T" would be 60' wide and 16'8"
long. The northern float would provide for temporary storage of up to 8 day -sailers less than 15' in
length. The float on the southern side of the center float would provide for temporary storage of 20
Optimist Prams, each 8' in length and stacked together on their stems. The floats would also provide
a place to tie the day -sailers to during the daily training programs.
A second pier would be located on the north side of the elevated boat ramp. It would consist of a
6' wide x 80' long fixed pier in the shape of a "T". Two 6' wide x 20' long gangways would lead to
a 15' wide x 20' long floating platform and a 10' wide x 20' long floating platform. The floating
platforms would be used to launch 21' sliding seat rowing hulls and to provide dockage for a skiff
for the Friends' Natural Science Program.
The floating dock sections would be placed in water depths between -2' to -6' below the normal
low water level and would extend out into the creek a maximum distance of 150' from the existing
bulkhead. The dock and pilings would be greater than 15' from the adjacent riparian areas of the
neighboring properties and would not extend out beyond the existing pier alignment along the
shoreline.
The applicants have proposed to place 200 linear feet of marker barrier constructed with
polypropylene line and floats (13" diameter x 18" long colored International Orange) spaced on five
foot centers between the docks and the concrete bridge bents. The marker barrier is intended to keep
8 —15 year old youth sailors safely away from the concrete bridge bents that would be down -wind of
the facility during the summer months. The barrier would be anchored with a 100 pound mushroom
anchor in the center and a 40 pound Danforth anchor on each end. The barrier would be set in place
on June l't and removed on August 20s` of each Junior Sailing season.
Additionally, a mooring field with 5 moorings would be constructed 225' to 370' out from shore
and landward of their previously occupied positions. The moorings would each be comprised of a
750 pound Danforth anchor, 52' of rode, and connect to a white mooring ball. The mooring field is
designed to moor vessels from 20' to 40' in length. Construction of the in -water portion of the
project would be conducted using typical marine pile driving equipment from a barge.
On the upland area, the existing driveway and staging area would be utilized for access, parking,

and a new shelter. The open shelter would be 20' wide x 30' long and would be constructed 30'
landward of the bulkhead. The shelter would have a wood floor raised on piles to just above the
ground so as not to interfere with water from a nearby drainage swale associated with the new
bridge. The applicant has proposed to use porta-potties in association with the facilities.
Anticipated Impacts
The project would result in 1,070 sq. ft. of high ground disturbance for the open shelter,
elevated boat ramp, and piers on an existing impervious surface. The proposed elevated boat
ramp and piers would also shade 1,050 sq. ft. of Coastal Wetlands, however, the applicants have
avoided the filling or excavation of any wetlands with the design of the boat ramp. The piers and
floating platform would also shade and usurp 4,664 sq. ft. of Estuarine Waters, while the
mooring field would usurp an additional 121,580 sq. ft. of Estuarine Waters. The mooring field
and docks would be greater than 15' away from the riparian areas of the neighboring lots and the
moorings would be located less than 1/3 the way across the waterbody.
The marker barrier would be placed out of the navigational channel and area of traditional
navigation, however, it would result in a slight impact to navigation in that any fishermen
wanting to fish around the three bents protected by the marker barrier would have to navigate
around the marker barrier. The marker barrier would be at least 15' from the bridge bents and
would allow boats access around all areas of the bents. The docks would not extend beyond the
existing piers along the shoreline or create any navigational hazards. Dredging would not be
required for the project and bottom disturbance during boat slip usage is not expected due to the
existing water depths in the -2' to -6' range below NLW.
Although the marina facility would create temporary storage for up to 28 open day -sailers on
the floats during the summer training sessions, as well as moorings for 8 skiffs used in
association with the training programs, the small and open nature of the boats to be utilized are
not expected to cause additional impacts beyond the traditional and ongoing boating activities in
the area. There are no anticipated impacts to any submerged aquatic vegetation from the
facilities and no additional closures of shellfish waters are expected with the project. A localized
and temporary increase in turbidity can be expected during the in -water portions of the
construction of the docks. The project would benefit the youth in the community with the
educational opportunities afforded by the facility.
