V. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: A stormwater swale will be
created within a 615 square feet area of intermittent coastal wetlands/existing debris as
shown on project plans. A portion of the wetlands will be graded as part of this activity.
Based on an onsite discussion with CAMA representative on June 27, 2008, only 80 square
feet of the wetland area to be displaced by the Swale construction appears to be functional.
2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to
mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams,
separately list impacts due to both structure and floodina.

VI. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. The work was designed to
better provide for existing stormwater and extreme tidal flows connecting the presently
debilitated wetland areas (full of trash and debris) with wetland areas located further inland (both
onsite and offsite).
VII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.

Project Narrative
July 16, 2008
Mainsail of Beaufort, LLC proposes to develop a multi-family (townhome) development
on a 7.94-acre tract in the Town of Beaufort. The project site is located on the southeast
corner of the intersection of Turner Street (NCSR 1174) and West Beaufort Road (NCSR
1170) and borders Town Creek. The Town of Beaufort has granted approval for
construction of 49 units and related amenities on the site.
State stormwater and erosion and sedimentation control plans have also been approved
for the project. Copies of these state approvals are attached.
A mobile home park and apartments previously located on the project site have been
removed. Outside the CAMA AEC, work has begun on site preparation and installation
of utilities and other project infrastructure.
Within the CAMA AECs, the project consists of demolition and removal of existing
infrastructure and debris, as well as new construction. The proposed work is listed below
and is identified in textboxes on enclosed project plans.
Within the southeast portion of the site, the following structures/items located within an
AEC will be abandoned and/or removed as shown on page 1 of project plans:
1. Two sections of existing sewer pipe will be abandoned (one section
measuring 78', another section measuring 18'). The sewer pipe will be
removed if necessary for proposed new construction.
2. 254 linear feet of existing water main will be abandoned, and removed if
necessary for proposed new construction.
3. Two sewer manholes will abandoned, removed to below grade, and filled.
4. One existing fire hydrant will be removed.
5. One existing storm drain will be abandoned, and removed if necessary for
new construction.
6. Miscellaneous debris in creek and along shoreline will be removed (please
see attached photographs A 1 /A2, A3/A4, A 11 /A 12)
Within the western portion of the site, the following structures/items located within an
AEC will be demolished and/or removed, as shown on page 1 of project plans:
1. Existing block wall around and adjacent trees (photograph B 1).
2. Debris at bottom and adjacent open drainage route (photographs A7, B3, and
B4).
3. Debris in water and coastal wetland area (photographs A7, A8, and A10).
4. Miscellaneous debris and trash within channel and along shoreline
(photographs A5, A6, and A10).
5. Miscellaneous debris in creek and along shoreline (photographs Al/A2,
A4/A4, and Al I/A12).
6. Approximately 3645 square feet of existing asphalt.
7. Existing concrete slab measuring approximately 800 square feet (photograph
B2).
8. Second concrete slab measuring 644 square feet (photograph B 1).
9. Existing 48" x 160' culvert (photographs A7, 134).
10. Existing 48" x 30' culvert (photographs A5/A6).
Land disturbance within the coastal shoreline AEC is to be minimized during clean-up
and re-vegetation activities and includes light grading, planting, seeding, and mulching.
Debris removal from coastal wetland areas is to be accomplished with minimal
disturbance by hand or, if necessary, by equipment with extended reach capabilities.
Project plans specify no digging or excavation in coastal wetlands or below normal high
water (NHW) during the clean-up process. Debris is to be "grabbed" and lifted from its
position. Where debris removal creates vegetative voids in coastal wetland and water
areas, appropriate indigenous coastal species will be planted based upon location relative
to normal water levels.
Construction of project components for which CAMA express permits are requested are
listed below. These components are shown on page 2 of project plans:
1. Stormwater and erosion and sedimentation control measures in the eastern
portion of the site to include:
• rock/silt check dam consisting of about 4' of 24" reinforced concrete pipe
storm drain with about 12 square feet of riprap and installation of about
108 square feet of riprap at the end of the stormwater outlet swale,
• 35'of 8" PVC storm drain with approximately 12 square feet of riprap, and
• stormwater outlet swale.
2. Units 23, 24, 48, and 49 - areas within AECs include portions of buildings,
covered front decks, and uncovered rear decks to be located in the coastal
shoreline AEC (please see page 2 of plans for specific built-upon areas for
each of these buildings).
3. Driveway/parking area to serve building 23 (page 2 of plans provides specific
built-upon square footage for each building driveway/parking area to be
located in the AEC).
4. Installation of underground utilities (electric, cable, and phone) in continuous
trenches within a 15' wide area along the rear of all southern units as shown
on project plans.
5. Installation of water mains and appurtenances as shown on project plans.
6. Construction of Mainsail Drive (project entrance from Turner Street),
including curb, gutter, and sidewalks as shown on project plans.
1)
7. Construction of 3.5' high x 10' landscaped berms as shown on project plans
adjacent entrance from Turner Street and along West Beaufort Road. The
berms will be constructed outside of wetland areas.
8. General light grading and landscaping within the coastal shoreline AEC to
include grass and indigenous plantings where appropriate.
9. Observation platform and pier to serve the residential development consisting
of a 6' x 26' wood platform over Town Creek with 6' x 36' wood pier over
coastal wetlands and the CAMA buffer, transitioning to a 6' x 157' concrete
walkway/sidewalk over high ground connecting to Mainsail Drive. The
platform will have a "step down" to a kayak/canoe launch.
10. Kayak/canoe launch in Town Creek consisting of 3' x 20' wood structure to
be located about one foot above normal low water and waterward of the
observation platform.
11. Installation of 48" diameter culvert, measuring 60' plus end sections. Includes
grading from south end of new culvert to gut of Town Creek.
Walter Cole of Soil & Environmental Consultants performed a coastal wetland
delineation of the project site that was approved by Ryan Davenport of the Division of
Coastal Management on December 14, 2006. Included with the project plans submitted in
support of the CAMA permit application is a map of the approved wetland delineation.
All proposed landscaping will be located outside of and landward of the delineated
wetlands. Landscaping will consist of trees, shrubs, and mulch, with an emphasis on
indigenous species.
A general CAMA permit was recently issued for connection of sewer service to an
existing residence located outside the project area.
