Chad,
We originally submitted a permit application to you in November 2013 for a bulkhead replacement along St James Dr SE
in St James Plantation. The permit was approved on December 6, 2013 (DWR Project # 13-1251). The wall was
extended beyond the permitted limits and we will need to permit the additional impacts that this will create. What is the
application fee for this modification?
I've attached the original permit for your reference and a drawing that shows the additional impacts. Thanks.

RE: PCN Application Package for additional wetland imapcts
for Bulkhead Replacement alongSt James Drive SE
crossing over Polly Gully Creek in St James Plantation
Dear Mr. Coburn:
In November 2013 we submitted a permit application for the installation of a bulkhead in St. James Plantation that
was to be installed infront of an existing failing bulhead along St James Drive SE. The original permit was approved
on December 6, 2013, DWR Project No: 13-1251. The original impact was for 0.014 ac (614 sf) of wetland impacts.
The original project consisted of replacement of the existing bulkhead and slight realignment of the approach
roadway at the bridge. The approach on both sides of the bridge (250 ft. south and 60 ft. north) is supported by
decaying timber bulkhead. The original permiteed project replaces the decaying bulkhead with a sheet pile wall.
The existing bulkhead was left in place and new sheet pile walls were constructed on the exterior of the existing
bulkhead.
The project limits for installation of the bulkhead along St James Drive SE have increased to help protect the
roadway. The original project consisted of installation of the new bulkhead to stop at the location of the decaying
bulkhead. The bulkhead will be extended approximately 80' south of the existing bulkhead and 11' north of the
existing bulkhead. This creates an additional impact of 0.003 ac (146 sf) on the south end of the bulkhead. There
are no additional wetland impacts along the north side of the bulkhead. There will not be any impacts to Polly Gully
Creek for this project.
WSP is submitting this modification to the original PCN application package on behalf of St James Plantation
POA. If you have any questions concerning the project you may contact me at (984) 269-4673 or at

St. James Bulkhead Replacement
St James Plantation
Brunswick County, NC
Project Narrative
Existing Conditions
The project site is located on the St. James Plantation property in Brunswick County, North Carolina (Lat.
35.932514 N, Long. 78.112217 W). Specifically, the project is at the St. James Drive SE crossing of Polly
Gully Creek and its adjacent salt marsh, which is primarily comprised of black needlerush (Juncus
roemerianus) and smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora). The existing bridge is a 50 ft. long cored slab
bridge, 27 ft. wide with a standard jersey barrier rail. The bridge is supported by concrete abutments on
each end. Both the abutments and the cored slab bridge are in good condition. The bridge is
approximately 12 degrees askew relative to the roadway, creating a hazardous projection of the
northeast barrier rail. The roadway is comprised of two lanes and is approximately 24 ft. wide. The
guardrail installed on both sides of the road is nonconforming timber rail. This rail has several sections
that have been improperly repaired. The rail does not meet FHWA requirement for vehicles or cyclists.
This structure provides the only access to approximately 800 residents in St. James Plantation.
Polly Gully Creek (Stream Index # 18-88-9-1-1) is a Class SC water with secondary classifications SW and
HQW, and drains to Beaverdam Creek approximately 0.5 mile east of the project site, in the Cape Fear
River Basin. The mean high water elevation in the project area is approximately 4.40' and the mean low
water elevation is approximately 0.15'. The surrounding land use is comprised of a residential
development and golf course community.
Prior to this project, CAMA issued Permit No. 58-02 on May 9, 2002 for construction of the bridge on St.
James Plantation Drive SE over Polly Gully Creek. Subsequent CAMA approvals for the bridge included a
permit refinement, dated February 24, 2003, a minor modification dated October 8, 2003, permit
renewals dated November 7, 2005 and April 22, 2008, and a permit extension dated April 21, 2010,
which expired on December 31, 2012. The North Carolina Division of Water Quality issued a Water
Quality Certification on April 11, 2002 (DWQ Project # 020277). The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued
authorization under General Permit 198000291(USACE Action ID No. 200200641), as well as a
subsequent permit modification, dated March 12, 2003.
Original Proposed Project
The proposed project will be privately funded by the St. James Plantation Property Owners Association.
No public funds are to be used.
The original proposed project had three elements:
Bulkhead Replacement
The approach on both sides of the bridge (250 ft. south and 60 ft. north) is supported by decaying
timber lagging bulkhead with a maximum height of about 4 ft. The project will replace the decaying
bulkhead with a sheet pile wall. The existing bulkhead will be left in place and new sheet pile walls will
be constructed on the exterior of the existing bulkheads. This will extend the fill 2'-0" along the entire
length of the bulkheads on both sides of the road. Impacts will be created to the wetlands for this
construction. This impact is necessary since the bulkhead can't be replaced in the same location. Given
the irregular alignment of the existing wall, the new sheet pile wall must be placed on outside of the
existing wall. If the new sheet pile was placed in the same location the clear road width would be
reduced by 1 foot on each side creating a narrower travel lane which would create unsafe driving
conditions. In addition, the roadway would have to be closed to construct the wall in the same location
and this road must remain open to traffic at all times since it is the only access for the residents and fire
and rescue. Construction of guardrail is also proposed along the approach roadway.
The majority of the construction equipment utilized to construct the wall will be on the existing
roadway. Temporary timber mats will be utilized in the wetlands in order to install the wall anchors.
Roadway Realignment
The bridge is approximately 12 degrees askew relative to the approach roadway, creating an unsafe
condition. The layout of the proposed sheet pile wall will allow a slight realignment of the roadway to
alleviate the skew and improve safety.
The work associated with the bulkhead replacement and roadway realignment will not have any impacts
to Polly Gully Creek. The work that is proposed is outside of the Creek.
Future Pedestrian and Golf Cart Walkway
St. James Plantation Property Owners Association proposed to construct a new pedestrian walkway on
the west side of St. James Plantation Drive SE. The walkway will be a wooden, slotted structure elevated
a minimum of 3 ft. (measured from the bottom of the joists) off the marsh substrate. The proposed
walkway will be 10' wide in order to accommodate both golf carts and pedestrians.
While the bridge is wide enough to accommodate shoulders and pedestrian traffic, the approach
roadway north and south of the bridge is too narrow. Pedestrians frequently utilize a nearby (located
within 85 to 115 feet from the roadway and bridge) golf cart path to cross the marsh. This creates an
unsafe condition for several reasons, including: the existing path is a not wide enough to safely
accommodate carts and pedestrians; the existing path is a boardwalk that has no guardrails; and the
existing path is showing signs of decay. In addition, the existing path is owned and maintained by the
Clubs at St James Plantation, LLC and not St. James Plantation POA. The existing path is only supposed
to be used by those that are playing golf at Clubs at St James Plantation since it is within the right of way
of the golf course. The new walkway is proposed to improve pedestrian safety by directing pedestrians
and residential golf carts away from the road and away from the existing golf cart path walkway which is
owned by the golf course and not the community.
The walkway will be constructed by St. James Plantation Property Owners Association within the next 3
years. It will not be constructed at the same time as the sheet pile walls but is being permitted
concurrent with the bulkhead. A top-down method is proposed for construction of the future
pedestrian walkway. If this is not feasible, temporary timber mats will be utilized for construction.
Orip,inal Permits for Bulkhead Replacement and Walkway
This bulkhead replacement project was permitted by CAMA on February 7, 2014, Permit Number 5-14;
by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on January 14, 2014, Action ID. SAW -2002-00641; and by the North
Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources on December 6, 2013, DWR Project No. 13-
1251.
Modifications to Proposed Project
Due to safety issues it has become necessary to extend the bulkhead on both ends of the project along
St James Plantation Drive SE. The bulkhead will be extended a maximum of 80' beyond the original
limits on the south end and a maximum of 11' beyond the original limits on the north end. This creates
additional coastal and 404 wetland impacts on the north end of the project. There are no additional
wetland impacts along the north side of the project.
Stormwater
Stormwater from the existing roadway sheet flows off the roadway into the adjacent wetlands. No
treatment is required. The proposed project will maintain the existing sheet flow drainage from the
roadway. The proposed project will not create any additional impervious area therefore a Stormwater
Permit modification is not required.
Erosion and Sedimentation Control
Since the project will result in less than 1.0 acre of disturbance, an erosion and sedimentation control
permit will not be required.

! 1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
A sheet pile wall will be constructed in lieu of a pile panel wall in order to minimize impacts.
b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
The majority of the construction equipment for the sheet pile wall will be on the existing roadway. Temporary timber
matting will be utilized for any equipment that needs to be in the wetlands for construction. The only time construction
equipment is anticipated to be in the wetlands is for installation of the anchor bolts.
