9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project site is located at 1260 Mallard Bay Road, adjacent to Mill Creek and the AIWW, in
Hampstead, Pender County. To locate the property from the WIRO office, drive north on NC
Highway 17, turn right at Sloop Point Loop Road, which is adjacent to C -Store gas station and
approximately 1.92 miles north of Topsail Middle School. Follow Sloop Point Loop Road for
approximately 0.85 miles and turn right onto Country Club Drive. Continue along Country Club
Drive for approximately 0.64 miles and turn left onto Mallard Bay Road. Take Mallard Bay
Road to the terminal end and the property will be located on the right at house number 1260.
The property consists of a 0.51 acre parcel that is approximately 4-6 feet above mean high water
(MHW) and is vegetated primarily with lawn grasses and ornamental landscaping. A single-
family residence occupies the high ground portion of the property. The shoreline (+/- 300 linear
feet) is stabilized by a vinyl bulkhead, which spans the entire length of the property. The
bulkhead is located above the upper wetland boundary and was authorized under CAMA minor
permit PN 16-16, issued on December 8, 2016. Just waterward of the existing bulkhead, lies both
"404 type" and Coastal Wetlands to include such species as: Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina
alterniflora), Black Needlerush (Juncus romarianus ssp), Glasswort (Salicornia spp.) Salt Grass
(Disticlis spicata) and Sea Lavender (Limonium carolinianum). These species, when combined,
extend approximately 8'-20' beyond the outer edge of the bulkhead. The width of the waterbody
measures approximately 70' — 72' from the outer marsh edge to the opposing edge of marsh in
the immediate vicinity of the proposed pier.
Although Middle Creek and the Mallard Bay canals are designated as a "Primary Nursery Area",
the entire entrance channel and all access canals have been previously dredged, as documented
through/in CAMA Major Permit No. 125-00, originally issued to Rodney Simpkins and later
transferred to Mallard Bay Dredging Project, Inc. Under the subject permit, the authorized
dredge depths were not to exceed -4.0', relative to normal low water within the canals and
entrance channel.
The waters of the AIWW are classified SA by the Division of Water Resources. The project area
is designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries and is
CLOSED to the harvest of shellfish.
PROPOSED PROJECT:
According to the application package, the property owner wishes to construct a three -slip
docking facility within the entrance channel leading to Middle Creek (i.e. maintained canal), at
1260 Mallard Bay Road, in Hampstead, Pender County, North Carolina.
Based on information provided by the applicant's agent (Trip Pippin — Pippin Marine
Construction, LLC), a 6' x 9' access pier would originate from the bulkhead and extend toward
the east, terminating into a 12' x 17' covered platform (measured from drip edge). The access
pier would span a section of Coastal Wetlands consisting predominately of Smooth Marsh
Charlotte Patterson
Page 3
Cordgrass; however, the proposed platform would span over open water.
Waterward of the proposed platform, the applicant proposes to install a 6' x 35' section of
floating dock that would run parallel with the shoreline. Access to the floating dock would be
achieved by ramping down to a small 8' x 9' floating platform along the southwestern edge of
the 6' x 35' floating section.
Two boatlifts (each 12' x 12') would be installed on opposite ends of the docking facility, one to
the north and adjacent to the platform, and the second along the southern edge of the proposed
floating dock. Boat lifts would be oriented so that access would be perpendicular to the
shoreline.
As designed, the proposed docking facility would be located in a waterbody that measures
approximately 72' in width, allowing a structure to be built a distance of up to 18' from the near
shore edge of marsh, which the applicant has proposed. The current design would not encroach
into the adjoining channel, nor would it exceed the'/4 width allowance.
Based on a preliminary water depth survey conducted by Division of Coastal Management staff
on 6/23/17, water depths in the vicinity of the proposed docking facility range from -2.5' to -4.2',
relative to normal low water. Surprisingly, the shoreline adjacent to the proposed docking facility
tapers to deeper water rather quickly beyond the outer edge of marsh.
The property appears to have approximately 300 linear feet of shoreline and the facility's design
appears to remain within the applicant's area of riparian access, meaning that no waivers would
be required for the proposed project. The maintained canal is located just beyond the waterward
edge of the proposed structures and the applicant's design extends as far waterward as possible
without encroaching into that dredge footprint and/or beyond the 1/4 width of waterbody
limitation.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The proposed docking facility would result in the incorporation of approximately 774 square feet
of Estuarine Waters and Pubic Trust Area.
The proposed development would be located within the applicant's riparian corridor, outside of
the adjacent 15' riparian corridor setbacks on both sides and would be constructed outside of the
adjacent maintained channel and within 1/4 of the width of the waterbody. Turbidity associated
with the piling installation would be kept to a minimum.

The enclosed CAMA Major Permit Application for Jay & Charlotte Patterson is to build a new pier and
floating dock with 2 boat lifts. The pier will be 6' wide and 9' long leading to a 10 x 15 deck with a 12 x 17
roof. The ramp will go to an 8 x 9 floating dock which will be connected to a 6 x 35 float. There will be a
total of 3 slips. The dock will be private and for family use only.
