8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to excavate a shoal area within an existing
canal, replenish an existing estuarine beach, extend an existing jetty and extend 6 existing
groins.
Project Setting
The site of the proposed development is located at 381 Mother Vineyard Road (SR 1120), Roanoke
Island, Dare County and on Shallowbag Bay and adjacent to a man- made canal and boat basin.
The property is located at the end of the road and is part of the peninsula that is known as Baum's
Point on the Roanoke Sound and Shallowbag Bay. The property is flat, has sandy soils, and has an
average elevation of approximately 4 feet above normal water level (NWL). The property is
vegetated with yard grasses, pines, and lawn shrubbery. The property is approximately 2.67 acres
in area, of which approximately .3 of an acre is a salt marsh vegetated with Juncus roemerianus.
The salt marsh area is located on the eastern side of the property and is not involved with this
project.
The shoreline of the property located on Shallowbag Bay has a sand strand beach. The beach
experiences sand erosion during storm events coming from the south.
Man-made features on the property consist of asingle-family dwelling with a paved driveway, a
rock jetty protecting the canal system entrance, riprap along a portion of the shoreline of the canal,
a shoreline dock in the adjacent boat basin, an outbuilding and six groins along the sand strand
beach area of the property on Shallowbag Bay. Adjacent riparian property consists of a single-
family dwelling and lot on the canal and Shallowbag Bay.
The canal system is ±70 feet wide with water depths of -5 to -6 feet deep. The connecting water
depth in Shallowbag Bay is -4.5 feet. The mouth of the canal has shoaled to water depths of less
than -2 feet. No submerged aquatic vegetation was observed at the shoals.
The waters of Shallowbag Bay are classified as SC and are closed to shellfish taking.
Development Proposal
In order to restore a controlling water depth of -4.5 feet in the canal, the applicant proposes to
remove the existing shoal by excavating an area 25 feet wide and 160 feet long to a final project
depth of -4.5 feet below NWL. The project will remove approximately 200 cubic yards of sandy
shoal material. The applicant proposes to excavate from the shoreline as much as possible and
deposit the spoil material adjacent to the work site in his yard. A barge for the excavator to work
off of may be required.
After the spoil material has dried, the applicant proposes to use the material to replenish the beach
area along Shallowbag Bay. The proposal is for an up to 15 foot-wide area of fill along
approximately 340 feet of shoreline. No fill material is proposed to be placed below NWL.

Field Investigation Report: Marc & Carolyn Basnight
Page 3
In order to provide protection from shoaling of the existing canal entrance, the applicants propose
to extend the existing jetty 20 feet into Shallowbag Bay. The proposed base of the extension will
be 14 feet wide, which is consistent with the existing structure. The water depth in this area is
approximately -2 feet and the proposed jetty will have an elevation of approximately 5 feet above
NWL to prevent overwash.
In order to protect the shoreline along Shallowbag Bay, the applicant proposes to extend the 6
existing groins to a length of 30 feet waterward of NWL. The proposed extension will have a 6-
foot wide base and an elevation of 1 foot above NWL.
Anticipated Impacts
The proposed removal of the existing shoal will result in the excavation of 4,000 square feet (sf) of
Public Trust Area (PTA) and Estuarine Waters (EW) Areas of Environmental Concern (AECs) and
the removal of 200 cubic yards below NWL of sandy bottom material. The temporary spoil site
will result in the temporary filling of 2,700 sf of Estuarine Shoreline (ES) AEC yard area.
The proposed beach replenishment will result in the filling of up to 5,100 sf of ES with sand 6 to 8
inches deep.
The proposed jetty extension for the canal entrance will result in the filling of 280 sf of PTA, EW
AECs with rock and the proposed groin extension will result in the filling of 180 sf of PTA, EW
with rock.
Temporary water turbidity will occur during construction.
The project will restore traditional navigational water depths for the users of the canal.

Dear Mr. Jennings:
f~~.''. y ._ C~iir,
~~
ti, ,~
Please find enclosed an application to conduct various maintenance and minor
improvements at and adjacent to our property located on Shallowbag Bay, at 381 Mother
Vineyard, in the Town of Manteo. The permit request involves the following activities:
1) Maintenance excavation at the mouth of an existing canal that provides
recreational and commercial boating access to a number of families upstream of
our property. Excavation work will be carried out by a land base and/or a barge
mounted excavator. Sand excavated by this operation will be placed on adjacent
high ground and allowed to dry before being used to maintain the beach. Any
excess material or material which is not beach quality will be hauled off site to an
approved disposal site;
2) The proposed extension of the jetty that protects the entrance of the existing canal.
The proposed extension will be approx 20' in length by a base width of 14' by a
height of up to 5'. The purpose of this extension is to block the movement of
sand from moving into the existing navigation channel within the existing canal.
The present jetty is failing to do this;
3) The proposed restoration of a portion of beach width in front of our property.
There has been a beach in front of a portion of this property since we acquired it
in the 1970's and this beach has been used recreationally by our family and
friends since then. However, the beach width has been disappearing in the last
few years and our attempts to stabilize the beach loss with groins have not been
very successful. We propose to use the beach quality material obtained from the
excavation of the entrance channel to restore a portion of the recreational beach
that has been lost. All the material will be placed above the normal water level
(nwl) in order to restore a modest 10 to 15' beach width along portions of the
property that has historically had a beach of this width or larger. The sand used
for this beach restoration will be the sand obtained from the maintenance
excavation activities and will be compatible with the sand found on the existing
beach;
4) The maintenance and slight extension of some of the existing groins along the
shoreline. In my observations, the littoral movement of sand in this area is such
that a slightly longer groin would be much more effective. I have had several
engineers and contractors look at this situation and they agree with this
observation. I would like permission to extend some to all of the rock groins to a

length of 30' beyond the nwl. The width of the extension would be up to 6' and
the top of the extension would be approximately 1' above the nwl.
I hope the information I have submitted in adequate for processing. If you need any
additional information or have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact
me.
Sincerely,
. r- -- rte?
