9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant's property is located at 8624 Bald Eagle Lane, adjacent to Middle Sound and the Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) in Wilmington, New Hanover County. To locate the property from the
Wilmington Regional Office, travel north on Market St. / US -17 Bus N for approximately 5.30 miles.
Turn right onto Porters Neck Rd. and continue straight through the first roundabout. Take a slight right
to stay on Porters Neck Rd. and travel for approximately 1.42 miles. Turn left on to Bald Eagle Ln. and
travel approximately 0.8 miles. The project site will be located on the right hand side of the street.
The project site is a residential lot with approximately 100 feet of shoreline frontage along the AIWW
and Middle Sound. The elevation of the high ground area of the lot averages approximately 14 feet
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 house structure is located approximately 117 feet landward of the existing
bulkhead. Coastal Wetlands are present water ward of the bulkhead, consisting primarily of Smooth
Cord Grass (Spartina alterniflora). Glasswort (Salicornia spp.) and Sea Lavender (Limonium
caroliniana) were also present on site. The Coastal Wetlands range from approximately 50 feet to 75
feet in width as measured from the bulkhead. Mean High Water (MHW) ranges from approximately 0
feet to 10 feet waterward of the existing bulkhead. An existing docking facility extends from the center
of the property off of the existing bulkhead and consists of a pier measuring approximately 4 feet in
width by 78 feet in length, a fixed platform measuring approximately 12 feet in width by 20 feet in
length, and a ramp measuring approximately 3 feet in width by 15 feet in length, which extends
waterward from the existing fixed platform to an existing floating platform measuring approximately 10
feet in width by 16 feet in length. There is an existing 13 feet in width by 13 feet in length boatlift that
extends off the north side of the existing fixed platform. The existing docking facility allows for two (2)
formalized slips.
The adjacent shorelines have been stabilized with bulkheads. The property to the south stabilized with
an existing bulkhead that is aligned approximately 15 feet waterward of the existing bulkhead on the
project site. The adjacent shoreline to the north has been stabilized with a bulkhead that is aligned
approximately 40 feet waterward of the existing bulkhead on the project site. 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.
Mr. Armand Daniel Jr. obtained CAMA Major Permit No. 13-17 to replace the northernmost 38' section
of the failing bulkhead on 1/26/17. As Mr. North, his contractor, began work it was apparent the
remainder of the wall was unstable and needed to be replaced as well, which is why Mr. Daniel is
seeking to replace the remaining 75' of bulkhead.
The City of Wilmington/ New Hanover County Land Use Plan classifies the adjacent waters as
Conservation, and the adjacent high ground portion of the project area as Watershed Resource
Protection Area. The waters of the AIWW are classified SA; ORW 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 OPEN to the harvest of shellfish.

10. PROPOSED PROJECT:
The applicant proposes to construct approximately 75 linear feet of new timber bulkhead with
approximately 150 square feet of Coastal Wetland fill. As proposed, the new timber bulkhead would be
aligned an average of 2 feet waterward of the existing bulkhead. The proposed bulkhead alignment
would be approximately 35 feet landward of the adjacent property's bulkhead to the north and would
remain approximately 13 feet landward of the adjacent property's bulkhead to the south. The applicant
is proposing to install the tie -backs thru the existing wall to prevent land disturbance associated with
removal of the old wall. The limits of disturbance would be located approximately 20 feet landward of
the proposed new bulkhead alignment for the tie back system. This method of construction would also
aim to alleviate threats to a high ground retaining wall which is located approximately 10 feet landward
of the existing timber bulkhead.
11. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The proposed new bulkhead construction with associated backfill and tie back/anchor system would
result in the filling of approximately 150 square feet of Coastal Wetlands, Estuarine Waters, and Public
Trust Areas of Environmental Concern. The bulkhead backfill would consist of approximately 150
square feet of primarily Smooth Cord Grass (Spartina alterniflora) coastal wetlands, located below
MHW in shallow bottom area. The proposed bulkhead construction would result in the disturbance of
approximately 1500 square feet of high ground for the anchoring system. Minor turbidity increases can
be expected during the construction process.
