v v 7
Hampstead, NC 28443 t
Dear Mrs. Hand:
The Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your application for State approval for the excavation of a boat
basin and the construction of a bulkhead at the end of the Hickory Point Rd Ext., adjacent to the Middle Point community boat ramp and
the Atlantic Intercostals Waterway, in Hampstead, Pender County. The application was first received on March 1, 2005. On April 27,
2005 a request for additional information was issued which identified information needed to make the application complete. The
modified application was received on June 10, 2005, and was submitted for processing. The projected deadline for making a decision is
August 24, 2005. An additional 75-day review period is provided by law when such time is necessary to complete the review. If you
have not been notified of a final action by the initial deadline stated above, you should consider the review period extended. Under those
circumstances, this letter will serve as your notice of an extended review. However, an additional letter will be provided on or about the
75th day.
If this agency does not render a permit decision within 70 days from June 10, 2005, you may request a meeting with the Director of the
Division of Coastal Management and permit staff to discuss the status of your project. Such a meeting will be held within five working
days from the receipt of your written request and shall include the property owner, developer, and project designer/consultant.
NCGS 113A-119(b) requires that Notice of an application be posted at the location of the proposed development. Enclosed you will find
a "Notice of Permit Filing" postcard which must be posted at the property of your proposed development. You should post this notice at
a conspicuous point along your property where it can be observed from a public road. Some examples would be: Nailing the notice card
to a telephone pole or tree along the road right-of-way fronting your property; or at a point along the road right-of-way where a private
road would lead one into your property. Failure to post this notice could result in an incomplete application.
A field report has been prepared and is in the process of being circulated to the various state and federal review agencies for their
comments. If additional information is required based on this review, the agencies may contact you directly.
Sincerely,
C

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The applicant's proposed project is located at the end of the Hickory Point Rd. Ext., adjacent to the Middle Point community
boat ramp and the Atlantic Intercoastal Waterway, near Hampstead, Pender County. To get to the project site, from the intersection
of US Hwy 17 and the southern crossing of Sloop Point Road, go East approximately 1.6 miles to Hickory Point Rd. Take
a right on Hickory Point Rd. and follow it to the Middle Point community boat ramp and the Atlantic Intercoastal
Waterway. The project site is located next to the Middle Point community boat ramp, on the north side adjacent to a man
made canal.
The project site is owned by Mrs. Paula J. Hand. The size of the entire track of land is 0.193 acres with an approximate
elevation of 4 ft. above mean sea level (MSL). The shoreline area along the man made canal measures 13.5 ft. in width
with a 3 ft. wide area of Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) along the shoreline edge. The man made canal measures
60 ft. in width with a maximum depth of 5.5 ft. below MHW. Vegetation associated with the high ground portion consists
primarily of lawn grasses
The waters of the man made canal adjacent to the project site are classified SA by the North Carolina Division of Water
Quality and are CLOSED to the Harvest of Shellfish. The waters are designated as a Primary Nursery Area by the NC
Division of Marine Fisheries.
10. PROPOSED PROJECT:
The applicant proposes to build a boat basin located along a man made canal that connects to the Atlantic Inter Coastal
Waterway. The proposed boat basin is for private residential use and would be built by excavating a total of 71 cubic yards
of dirt with a backhoe and then building a bulkhead measuring approximately 20 ft. x 13 ft. x 20 ft. long along the inside of
this basin. The proposed depth of the excavated area is 5.5 ft. below MHW and would extend through vegetated wetlands
and into the adjacent man made canal. The depth of the adjacent man made canal is 5.5 ft. below MHW. The excavated
fill dirt would be placed on the upland portion of the property, contained within a silt fence and then stabilized with
vegetation until it can be used at a later date when constructing their home.
There is an existing community boat ramp located on the adjacent property south of the proposed project location and there
are existing single-family residential properties located north of the proposed project location along the man made canal.
11. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The proposed project would result in the removal of 40.5 sq. ft. of vegetated wetlands, primarily Smooth Cordgrass
(Spartina alterniflora), along the edge of the man made canal. It would also incorporate the excavation of approximately
270 sq. ft. of high ground area and 305.1 sq. ft. of non-vegetated open water area. The construction of the boat basin could
increase turbidity levels during project activity, however, no long-term adverse impacts are anticipated.

Recommendations for State Permit - Private Boat Basin and Bulkhead September 7, 2005
This proposed project is located in a primary nursery area and would also require the excavation of a narrow strip of
vegetated wetlands. 15A NCAC 7H .0208 (b)(1) states in part that boat basins shall be located so as to avoid primary
nursery areas and irregularly flooded coastal wetlands. It goes on to state that excavation in a primary nursery area and the
excavation of narrow fringes of irregularly flooded coastal wetlands along a previously permitted canal may be allowed as
long as the identified proper construction standards are followed.
Because this proposed boat basin is located on previously dredged canal and is designed to follow all proper construction
standards, it is therefore recommended that a permit be issued subject to the following conditions:
1. Excavation will not exceed 2.5 feet below the mean low/normal water level. In no case shall the depth of
excavation exceed the depth of connecting waters.
2. All excavated materials will be confined above mean high water and landward of regularly or irregularly
flooded marsh behind adequate dikes or other retaining structures to prevent spillover of solids into any
marsh or surrounding waters.
3. The back fill material/disposal area/disturbed areas will be properly graded and provided a ground cover
sufficient to restrain erosion within 30 working days of project completion.
4. The spoil disposal area must be inspected and approved by a representative of the Division of Coastal
Management prior to the commencement of any dredging activities.
5. No spoil material is to be placed within 30 feet of the normal high water line, except that which will be used
to backfill the area behind the permitted bulkhead.

Dear Ms. Hand:
This Office has reviewed your CAMA application for the dredging of a high ground boat basin at your property
located at 129 Hickory Point Extension in Pender County. The DWQ has determined that your application was
incomplete and/or provided inaccurate information as discussed below. The DWQ will require additional
information in order to process your application to impact protected wetlands and/or waters on the subject property.
Therefore, unless we receive the additional information. requested below, we will have to move toward denial of
your application as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0506 and will place this project on hold as incomplete until we
receive this additional information. Please provide the following information so that we may continue to review
your project.
Additional Information Requested:
1. The Excavation and Fill sheet (DCM MP-2) only indicates the upland basin being
dredged. This conflicts with the profile drawing included in the application, which shows
dredging out to 40'. The open water area should be included in order for you to access
your basin.
2. The plan view of the drawing is not drawn to scale as indicated.
3. The length of bulkhead includes the total linear feet around the basin for shoreline
stabilization not just the 20' for the length of the basin.
Please respond within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending a copy of the information to Joanne
Steenhuis and to Ian McMillan, 401 Wetlands Unit, 2321 Crabtree Blvd., Raleigh, NC 27604-2260, his phone
number is [phone]. If we do not hear from you within three weeks, we will assume that you no longer want
to pursue this project and we will consider the project as withdrawn. If you have any questions, please feel free to
call me at [phone].

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The applicant's proposed project is located at the end of the Hickory Point Rd. Ext., adjacent to the Middle Point community
boat ramp and the Atlantic Intercoastal Waterway, near Hampstead, Pender County. To get to the project site, from the intersection
of US Hwy 17 and the southern crossing of Sloop Point Road, go East approximately 1.6 miles to Hickory Point Rd. Take
a right on Hickory Point Rd. and follow it to the Middle Point community boat ramp and the Atlantic Intercoastal
Waterway. The project site is located next to the Middle Point community boat ramp, on the north side adjacent to a man
made canal.
The project site is owned by Mrs. Paula J. Hand. The size of the entire track of land is 0.193 acres with an approximate
elevation of 4 ft. above mean sea level (MSL). The shoreline area along the man made canal measures 13.5 ft. in width
with a 3 ft. wide area of Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina alterni, flora) along the shoreline edge. The man made canal measures
74 ft. in width with a maximum depth of 3 ft. below MLW. Vegetation associated with the high ground portion consists
primarily of lawn grasses
The waters of the man made canal adjacent to the project site are classified SA by the North Carolina Division of Water
Quality and are CLOSED to the Harvest of Shellfish. The waters are designated as a Primary Nursery Area by the NC
Division of Marine Fisheries.
10. PROPOSED PROJECT:
The applicant proposes to build a boat basin located along a man made canal that connects to the Atlantic Inter Coastal
Waterway. The proposed boat basin is for private residential use and would be built by excavating 16 cubic yards of dirt
with a backhoe and then building a bulkhead measuring approximately 20 ft. x 13 ft. x 20 ft. long along the inside of this
basin. The proposed depth of the excavated area is 2.5 ft. below MLW and would extend through vegetated wetlands and
into the adjacent man made canal. The depth of the adjacent man made canal is 3 ft. below MLW. The excavated fill dirt
would be placed on the upland portion of the property, contained within a silt fence and then stabilized with vegetation until
it can be used at a later date when constructing their home.
There is an existing community boat ramp located on the adjacent property south of the proposed project location and there
are existing single-family residential properties located north of the proposed project location along the man made canal.
11. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The proposed project would result in the removal of 40.5 sq. ft. of vegetated wetlands, primarily Smooth Cordgrass
(Spartina alterniflora), along the edge of the man made canal. It would also incorporate the excavation of approximately
270 sq. ft. of high ground area. The construction of the boat basin could increase turbidity levels during project activity,
however, no long-term adverse impacts are anticipated.
