PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to expand an existing docking facility. Brian Forehand Page 2 9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant has requested that the subject CAMA Major Permit application be processed under the Express Review Permitting Program. The project site is located at 2103 Washington Acres Road, adjacent to Horn Creek and the AIWW, in Hampstead, in Pender County. To locate the project site from the Wilmington Regional Office (WiRO), travel north on US 17N / Market Street towards Jacksonville for approximately 10.8 miles to Washington Acres Road. Turn right onto Washington Acres Road and travel approximately 1.73 miles (keeping right at the fork) to the end of the road and turn left just past Long Point Estates pillars. The subject property will be the 1't house on the left (2103). The subject property encompasses approximately 0.46 acres and has an average elevation of approximately 7.3 feet above normal high water (NHW). The property has approximately 141 linear feet of shoreline which has been stabilized with a vinyl bulkhead which borders Horn Creek just off of the AIW W. The applicant currently maintains a single family residence on the property. Existing high ground vegetation on the tract consists of lawn grasses and ornamental landscaping. There are no wetlands adjacent to the existing bulkhead. The applicant maintains an existing docking facility which was permitted along with the existing bulkhead under CAMA General Permits #63987-D, issued on 7-17-14 and GP #64041-D issued on 8/17/14. The existing irregular bulkhead alignment forms a "U shaped" boat basin in the center of the property's shoreline, which measures approximately 12' in width and 24' in length. A 4' wide boardwalk extends around the perimeter of the boat basin with two extensions beyond the boat basin (4' x 4'), creating two access piers. The bulkhead then extends approximately 16' eastward and then extends water ward approximately 10' before extending back to the east for an additional 21'. This alignment creates a recessed area for the proposed floating dock. The west side of the bulkhead has a similar alignment extending westward approximately 19' from the boat basin and then turning water ward approximately 10' creating a recessed area for the existing 8' by 16' floating dock which is accessed by a ramp extending from the 4' wide access pier, and then extends to the west an additional 23'. The entire length of the bulkhead which extends from the boat basin area has a wooden cap along the top which varies from 1' to 2' in width. The existing facility accommodates one (1) vessel. Existing water depths within the basin area, and adjacent to the bulkhead, range from approximately -3' to -4' @ normal low water (NLW). The Pender County 2006 Land Use Plan Update classifies adjacent waters and high ground as Conservation. The waters of Horn Creek and the AIW W are classified SA-ORW by the Division of Water Resources. They ARE NOT designated as a Primary Nursery Area by the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries and they are Closed to the harvest of shellfish. PROPOSED PROJECT: The applicant proposes to expand an existing docking facility. As proposed, there would be a new floating dock measuring approximately 8' in width by 14' in length installed in the recessed area located on the east side of the boat basin. The floating dock would be accessed by a ramp which would extend from the existing 4' wide access pier which extends from the boat basin. The applicant is also proposing to install a 12' wide by 25' long boatlift within the existing basin. A new 10' wide by 16' long float on boat dock/lift is also being proposed adjacent to the existing 8' by 16' floating dock on the water ward side. The application states that the proposed docking facility would accommodate up to three (3) vessels at this location in water ranging from approximately -3' to -4' @ NLW. Brian Forehand Page 3 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The proposed structures would incorporate approximately 272 sq. ft. of Public Trust Area and Estuarine Waters. The structures would not encroach into the 15' riparian corridor setback requirement of the adjacent riparian properties. The proposed structures would extend approximately 10' into a waterbody which measures approximately 54' across, thus, would not exceed the '/ width of the waterbody. The proposed structures would accommodate up to three (3) vessels at this location within current water depths ranging from approximately -3' to -4' @ NLW. Minor turbidity increases may be expected during the construction process. Submitted by: Debra Wilson Date: 4/19/16 Office: Wilmington ilARRATIVE FOR 2103 WASHINGTOK ACRES ROAD CAMA PERMIT Add a floating dock on the northern end of the bulkhead. Bulkhead was originally made with a cut out for the floater so it will not stick out in waterway at all. The poles for the floater are also already in place. This project will require no construction at all. All that needs to be done is to float the floating dock into place and attach to existing poles. -I-c RECEIVED VVIUnmu_ To ,, NIC.
