8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The Town of Swansboro is applying for a Major Modification to
Major Permit 58-12 to expand an existing No Wake Zone. This will be accomplished by
adding three additional buoys along the AIW W.

Field Investigation Report:
Swansboro, Town of
Page 02
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The Town of Swansboro project is located along the
AIW W just offshore of the downtown area. This area is located by traveling on Hwy. 24
and turning onto S. Water St. The three proposed buoys are located offshore of Caspers
Marina.
There are no SAVs in this area and the bottom substrate consists of fine sand with some silt.
This area is classified as SA-HQW and is closed to the harvesting of shellfish. It is not a
Primary Nursery Area. This shoreline in Swansboro is classified as commercial and
residential in the LUP.
10. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is proposing to install three additional "No
Wake" markers along the AIWW. These buoys are labeled as Proposed No. 4,5,&6 on the
associated drawings. This area is formally designated as a "No Wake Zone" by 15A NCAC
IOF .0369. The No Wake Buoys would be of Standard NCWRC size and markings. They
would be anchored to the bottom by concrete block.
11. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: Approximately 12ft2 of deep bottom benthic habitat would
be disturbed during placement of the concrete anchors for the No Wake Buoys. The
placement of the buoys and associated anchors should pose no environmental impact. No
impacts to SAVs or wetlands would occur as a result of this project.

outside the federal channel and federal channel setbacks and within the Town's riparian corridors associated with the public
streets.
The current submittal requests a modification of the permit to authorize placement of three additional No -Wake Zone buoy
markers in the White Oak River. The Town of Swansboro proposes to place markers within the riparian corridors associated
with 219 S. Water Street, 313 S. Water Street, and an island in the White Oak River known locally as Pelican Island. The
three additional markers will also be located outside of the federal channel and federal channel setbacks. The location and
coordinates of the three proposed buoy markers are shown on project plans.
Included is a drawing provided by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission of the standard No -Wake Zone buoy. The
buoy includes appropriate markings and is secured with a concrete anchor. The drawing provides the standard details for the
buoys.

Project Narrative
Introduction
JUL 13 2016
TXM- 0,11HID CITY
Major CAMA permit 58-12 was issued to the Town of Swansboro in June 2012 for installation of
three standard No -Wake Zone buoy markers in the White Oak River along the downtown
waterfront area. The permit authorizes placement of the markers at the ends of Moore, Main,
and Church Streets. The permit was renewed in December 2015 and is effective through 2017.
The purpose of the buoys is to mark a section of an existing No -Wake Zone previously
established by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC), as described in 15A
NCAC 10F .0369. The WRC designated the Town of Swansboro as a suitable agency for
placement and maintenance of the markers implementing the No -Wake Zone, as specified in
15A NCAC 10F .0369(c).
The Town desires to modify the permit to include installation of three additional buoys, for a
total of six buoys. The new buoys are proposed for placement in the vicinity of Casper's Marina
and will mark a section of the existing No -Wake Zone. The buoys will be placed outside the US
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)-designated federal channel setbacks and within the riparian
corridors of properties located at 219 S. Water Street, 313 S. Water Street, and an island in the
White Oak River known locally as Pelican Island.
Site Description
The original project site consisted of the riparian corridors of the ends of Moore, Main, and
Church Streets in downtown Swansboro. Permitted buoys in these locations are labeled on
project plans as Existing Numbers 1, 2, and 3. All three Town -owned street ends provide for
public water access, with Town -owned docks located at the end of Main and Moore Streets. A
highground waterfront gazebo was recently built in the Church Street right-of-way to provide
opportunities for visual access to the water. The properties surrounding the original project
area contain a mix of residential and commercial uses, including restaurants, boutiques, and gift
shops. The original project area is included in the National Register Historic District and contains
many historic buildings. The Town of Swansboro zones this area as B-2 HDO (Historic District
No -Wake Zone Buoys

CEN .s
Overlay). The project site is also included in an urban waterfront redevelopment area JUL 13 7016
designated by the Town of Swansboro.
DCC— NAHD C��j FY
Proposed buoy Number 4 will be placed in the riparian corridor of two adjoining properties
located at 219 S. Water Street. The two parcels are owned by Charles and Carol Lanier and
contain a residence, office, and dock. This site is zoned B-2HDO and is included in the historic
district and urban waterfront redevelopment area.
Proposed buoy Number 5 will be located in the riparian corridor of 313 S. Water Street, owned
by Billie Jean and Harmon Simpson. This property is zoned as R-6SF and is located outside the
historic district. It does not appear to be located in the urban waterfront redevelopment area. A
residence and dock are located on the property.
Proposed buoy Number 6 will be located in the riparian corridor of an island in the White Oak
River known locally as Pelican Island. The island is owned by Donald Suggs and others. The
Town zones Pelican Island as Conservation. It is used for water-based recreation, with a boat
dock located on the island.
The Swansboro Side Channel and Basin is a federally maintained channel located in the White
Oak River adjacent the project site. Normal Low Water (NLW) depths in the locations of the
proposed new buoys range from -12.0' to -14.7'. Research of historical USACE hydrographic
mapping and previous conversations with agency staff indicate that shoaling is not a problem in
the federal channel and basin. Dredging has not been required in recent years. Fringes of
coastal wetlands located at several locations along the project site will not be impacted by the
project.
The Highway 24 Corbett Avenue Bridge crosses the White Oak River just east of the project
area. The NC Department of Transportation Right -of -Way associated with the bridge, as shown
on project plans, is not impacted by this project.
Project Description
The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) enforces setbacks for all structures from the federal
channel in the entire project area. Additionally, CAMA regulations require all structures to be

located a minimum of 15' from the adjacent riparian corridors, unless a waiver is provided by
the adjacent riparian neighbor.
Waivers to the 15' CAMA setback were required for placement of two of the original buoys.
Port O'Swannsborough provided a waiver for the Church Street buoy and MooreCoastaIR E IV ED
Investments, LLC waived the CAMA setback for placement of the Moore Street buoy. JUL 13 2016
The proposed locations of the three new buoys meet the 15' riparian corridor setbacl-ONVU111- Ian D UT)
waiver will be required. The buoys will be placed outside the federal channel setbacks,
consisting of 42' for Number 4 and 100' for Numbers 5 and 6. Specific latitude/longitude
coordinates for the buoy locations are shown on project plans, in association with the riparian
corridors, federal channel, channel setbacks, and NLW depths.
Normal Low Water depths shown on the project plans are based on hydrographic surveys
previously provided to the Town by the USACE and performed in association with a separate
major CAMA permit request associated with the end of Moore Street. Depths for the proposed
buoy locations were recently obtained by a local engineer.
Construction Methods
Buoys constructed to uniform standards will be installed at the approved locations. The buoys
will be appropriately marked and secured on the river bottom by chains and concrete anchors.
A detail drawing of the buoy markers is included on project plans. A pontoon boat will be used
to set the anchors, chains, and buoys.
Summary
Major CAMA permit 58-12 authorized installation of three No -Wake Zone buoys to mark a
section of an existing No -Wake Zone in the White Oak River along the Swansboro waterfront.
The current proposal requests a permit modification to authorize installation of three
additional buoys, for a total of six buoy markers. The buoys constructed will be installed outside
the required setbacks to the federally designated Swansboro Side Channel and Basin and within
the riparian corridors associated with 219 S. Water Street, 313 S. Water Street, and Pelican
Island. Project impacts will be minimal, with no other proposed development activity.
