Partners % Frank Majewski / Sawgrass Point Page Two 9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project site is located in the 800 Block of North New River Drive (NC Hwy 210), adjacent to Stump Sound. in Surf City, Pender County. To get to the site from Wilmington take US Hwy 17 N to NC Hwy 210. Turn right onto NC Hwy 210 and continue to NC Hwy 50. Take a right onto NC Hwy 50. Travel across the swing bridge to NC Hwy 210. Take a right onto NC Hwy 210. Travel approximately one mile. The property is located on the right just past Egret Landing Subdivision and the adjacent cleared lot. The property is adjacent to NC Hwy 210 on the east side and is adjacent to Stump Sound on the west. The property is adjacent to residential properties on the north and south sides. The property is currently vacant and appears to be in a natural undisturbed state. The current elevation of the property ranges from 3' to 5' above mean sea level (MSL) and the property encompasses approximately 7.89 acres including approximately 1.1 acres of highground. The remainder of the property is §404 Wetlands and coastal wetlands. The highground portion of the property is vegetated primaril~~ with Wax Myrtle (Myrica cerifera), Live Oak (Quercus virginiana), Yaupon (Iles r~~mi~urru). Red ('~•~1~rr; (Juniperus virginiana) and a dense understory. The project site has approximately 1.1 acres ot~ hi~h`~r~~un~! ~I~~ remaining 6.79 acres is a combination of §404 Wetlands and coastal wetlands. The high marsh portion of the coastal wetlands ranges from 230' to 180' in width and consist mainly of Cattail (Typha, spp.), Black Needlerush (Juncus roemarianus), Sea Lavender (Limonium, spp.), Salt Meadow Grass (Spartina patens), Saft Marsh Cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) and Glasswort (Salicornia spp). The high marsh area transitions to lose marsh that consists of mainly Salt Marsh Cordgrass and varies in width from 10' to 60'. The normal hi<~h s-safer (NHW) line is located along the transition from high marsh to low marsh. The Town of Surf City Land Use Plan classifies the upland areas of this project as Developed. The ss aters ~~ C ~h~ project site are classified as SA by the NC Division of Water Qualits~. The NC' Dis isic~n ~~f` ~ I,u-in~ ! ~ i:~ _ ~ , designated this area of Stump Sound as a Primary Nursery Area, and the waters adjacent to the pr~rh~"~,; project are o en to the harvesting of shellfish. PROPOSED PROJECT: The applicant is proposing to construct 17 Town homes on the 1.1 acres of highground at a density of 16 units/acre. The applicant is also proposing to install a pool, and 12,627 ft.z of driveway and parking area. The access to the proposed development would be located on the northern side of the property. The applicant is proposing to insta11791 linear feet of retaining wall beginning at the NC Hwy 210 right-of--way on the southern property line and continued in a westerly direction approximately 180'. Then the retaining wall would run along the §404 Wetland line in a northerly direction, the alignment of the proposed wall would match the footprints of the town homes and proposed. pool area to the northern property line and then would turn east to the intersection of NC Hwy 210 right-of--way. The applicant is planning to connect to the Town of Surf City water and sewer services. There are two proposed swales and an infiltration bed located at the road between the town home units and 10" roof drains, which would receive runoff from the 9 units located on the estuarine side of the development. These devices would route the runoff to a stormwater storage system measuring 150' in length and 15' in width located on the northern property line. The applicant is also proposing a 6' x 235' pier with a 10' x 20' T-head. The channel is approximately 40 in width at the location of the proposed pier. The water depth at the end of the pier would be approximately -0.75' @ Normal Low Water (NLW). There are no slips proposed with the pier and dock. 127 Cardinal Drive Ext., Wilmington, North Carolina 28405-3845 Phone: 910-796-72151 FAX: 910-395-39641 Internet: www.nccoastalmanagement.net An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer - 50% Recycled l 10% Post Consumer Paper C.J.L.

ANTICIPATED IMPACTS The proposed project would disturb approximately 47,915 ft.Z of highground located entirely in the High Hazard Flood Area of Environmental Concern (AEC). The road installation would create approximately 47.91 ~ tt ' eif~ impervious area located in the High Hazard Flood Area (AEC). The proposed pier would shade appn~~~in~:.~~~', ~. 1410 ft.Z of coastal wetlands and the T-head would incorporate approximately 2UU tt.' of estuarine: waters ~u~d public trust area. Submitted by: J.

(Topsail Township), Onslow County. The site is currently vacant. The proposed development includes seventeen (17) townhome units, pool, and associated sitework. The intended use of the project, when complete, is RESIDENTIAL. The project is to be designed and constructed in accordance with NC Division of Environmental Management Stormwater Management Rules (15A NCAC 2H.1000). Section .1005(2)(b). The proposed project is "High Density" (i.e., percent impervious > 25%). Division of Water Quality requires that the first 1.5" of rainfall be treated in an infiltration system. The project site is located less than 1 mile from the Intracoastal Waterway (SA:HQW) in the Cape Fear Basin. Existing site topography is gently sloping (0 - 6%), draining towards the rear (northwestern) portion of the site. Topography suggests that precipitation currently infiltrates into the sandy soils or sheet flows into adjacent wetlands. Soils are Medium to Coarse Sands (see attached soils evaluation) which have hydraulic conductivities ranging from 10 - 20 in/hr. In order to provide adequate cover over proposed stormwater infiltration facilities, it is necessary to fill the upland portion of the project area to approximately Elevation 8.5. A retaining wall is proposed upgradient of the 404 and coastal wetland delineations. Retaining wall is to be of conventional design/construction (treated wood piles, vinyl panels). No fills are proposed in wetland areas. Upon placement of fill, proposed grading activities will be limited to installation of building pads and sloping parking areas as minimally required for drainage. The site will be drained to one proposed infiltration system. The developer plans to construct a wooden walk and dock (total length 235') to provide access to adjacent, existing canal. Dock will be of conventional design/construction (treated wood piles, treated wood decking & railing). ~~~~ ~ o~r~FC - w~;'ert cruri! ~; v Form DCM-MP-1 w~nawg6 ~a ~T'"'"~"~ p~s:-~ RECEIVE D DCM WILMINGTON, NC APPLICATION ~E~ ~ ~ X006 (To be completed by all applicants) 1.
