PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to install approximately 50 linear feet of new vinyl bulkhead approximately 2' waterward of the existing alignment with approximately 24 square feet of associated Coastal Wetlands fill. Michael Ervin c/o Pauline Benton Page Two 9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant's property is located at 10 Monroe Street, adjacent a man-made canal contiguous with the AIWW in the Town of Ocean Isle Beach, Brunswick County. Directions from Highway 17 south of Shallotte: Turn Left onto Ocean Isle Beach Rd. and travel approximately 3.6 miles and continue straight onto Causeway Dr./ NC -904 for approximately 1.12 miles. Turn left onto E. 2nd St. and travel approximately 0.21 miles. Turn left onto Monroe St. and travel approximately 0.1 miles. The project site will be located on the right side of the street. The project site is a canal front lot with approximately 50' of shoreline frontage. The elevation of the high ground area of the lot averages approximately 2'-3' above normal high water (NHW). High ground vegetation consists primarily of lawn grasses, woody shrubs, and landscape vegetation. The shoreline of the property has been stabilized with an existing timber bulkhead and the existing house structure is located approximately 19' landward of the existing bulkhead, with an existing porch located approximately 13'from the bulkhead. There is a lobe of Coastal Wetlands, consisting primarily of Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) located waterward of the property's bulkhead on the northern side and measuring approximately 15' in width by 17' in length. Normal High Water (NHW) is located along the existing bulkhead for the property. There is an existing docking facility which consists of a pier measuring approximately 4' in width by 23' in length. An existing ramp measuring approximately 4' in width by 16' in length leads to an existing floating dock aligned parallel to the canal which measures approximately 8' in width by 16' in length. The adjacent shorelines to the north and south have been stabilized with bulkheads the tie directly into. Both of the adjacent properties to the north and south are developed with single-family residences and docking facilities. No known archaeological sites are within the project vicinity. The Town of Ocean Isle Beach Land Use Plan classifies the adjacent waters as Conservation, and the adjacent high ground portion of the project area as Residential. The waters of the canal are contiguous with the AIWW are classified SA by the Division of Water Resources and are NOT designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries. They are CLOSED to the harvest of shellfish. 10. PROPOSED PROJECT: The applicant proposes to install approximately 50 linear feet of new vinyl bulkhead approximately 2' waterward of the current alignment with approximately 30 square feet of associated Coastal Wetlands fill. Michael Ervin c/o Pauline Benton PagLi Three' As proposed, the bulkhead alignment would be approximately 2'waterward of the adjacent bulkheads to the north and south. The existing timber bulkhead would remain in place and the limits of disturbance would be located approximately 15-20 feet landward of the proposed bulkhead alignment for the tie -back system. The applicant is proposing to install the tie -backs thru the existing wall to prevent land disturbance associated with removal of the old wall. This method of construction would also aim to alleviate threats to the existing porch which resides in close proximity relative to the existing bulkhead wall. The adjacent owner to the south (Pringle) has also submitted an application for major development proposing a bulkhead alignment approximately 2waterward that would tie into the applicant's proposed bulkhead. 11. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS The proposed new bulkhead construction with associated backfill and tie back/anchor system would result in the filling of approximately 230 square feet of Coastal Wetlands, consisting primarily of Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina altemiflora) and approximately 70 square feet of open water within the Estuarine Waters Areas of Environmental Concern. The proposed bulkhead construction would result in the disturbance of approximately 900 square feet of high ground for the tie -back system. Minor turbidity increases can be expected during the construction process. Submitted by: Sean C. Farrell Date: June 26, 2017 Office: Wilmington MICHAEL ERVIN 10 MONROE ST OCEAN ISLE, BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC PROJECT NARRATIVE (Pagel) INTRODUCTION The project property is located on the east side of Monroe St. adjacent (north side) to Katherine Hord's property and adjacent (south side) to Alonzo Pringle on Ocean Isle Beach, Brunswick County, North Carolina. The property can be reached by traveling highway 179 across the causeway, turning left onto East 2 nd St. then left on Monroe St. The property is adjacent to 8 and 12 Monroe St. The site is currently developed with a single family residence, bulkhead and pier. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Filling lot and replacing existing bulkhead. EXISTING CONDITIONS The existing bulkhead is only 13' from existing foundation. If the bulkhead had to be replaced in its' existing location it would jeopardize the house foundation. To take out the old wall it could have a greater impact to the existing marsh. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT No upland improvements, pavements, walkways or other impervious surfaces will be constructed as part of the project. No stormwater management or additional stormwater measures are proposed for this project. METHODS OF CONSTRUCTION Bulkhead will be constructed as shown in drawing labeled 4 of 4 PROJECT SCHEDULE Construction of bulkhead will be initiated once CAMA permit is issued.
