Radio Public Beach Access.

Field Investigation Report:
Carteret County "No Wake" Pilings
Page 02
9. Narrative Description
The Town of Morehead City "No Wake" piling project is located along Bulkhead Channel
and adjacent to The Rachael Carson Reserve and the Radio Island Public Beach Access.
The "No Wake" zone currently has USCG navigation pilings and several no wake buoys
along Bulkhead Channel.
The Morehead City Land Use Plan classifies this property as Port Mixed Use, with all
AEC's classified Conservation. This section of Morgan Creek/Bogue Sound is not
designated as Primary Nursery Area, is closed to the taking of shellfish and carries a water
classification of SA. No SAV's or shellfish beds were observed within the proposal project
area. This area is presently designated as a "No Wake" zone by the WRC as per 15A
NCAC 10F.0330.
10. Project Description:
The "No Wake" pilings, per the applicant, would be placed in accordance to coordinates
provided by the NC Wildlife and would follow all required NC Wildlife guidelines. This
area is designated as a regulated area per 15A NCAC l OF.0330, Carteret County, to
provide a no wake zone in the waters of Morgan Creek and vicinity. Once the pilings have
been appropriately placed, the "no wake" area would be enforceable by WRC. The pilings
would be located along the channel edge of Bulkhead Channel and would not extend into
the existing channel area. They would be located at the following coordinates;
• Piling # 1- 34.708526N
76.679815W
• Piling #2- 34.712079N
76.678825W
• Piling #3- 34.708931N
76.678857W
The pilings would be marked with the standard 4 square foot white reflective face with an
orange border and an orange circle in the center containing "No Wake" and "Slow". They
would be 10 inches in diameter and 45' long. The pilings would be driven 15' into the
ground by a pile driver and would be 15' above mhw/nhw.
11. Anticipated Impacts:
The proposed piling placement would incorporate a total of 112ftz of open
Waters and would cause temporary turbidity during placement. There would be no
hindrance to navigation due to the fact they would be located outside and along the edge of
bulkhead channel. The piling placement has the potential to improve public safety within
this area and ensure this "No Wake" zone is enforceable by NCWRC.

Project Narrative
Carteret County is proposing three no wake zone pylon signs along Bulkhead Channel, the
exact pylon sign locations have been included on the attached map. The no wake zone along
bulkhead channel is extremely important due to its proximity to Rachael Carson Reserve and Radio
Island Public Beach Access. This no wake zone helps protect the shoreline of Rachel Carson
Reserve and it protects the public at the Radio Island Public Beach Access.
Carteret County has two existing no wake zone buoys marking this area. The North
Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission and the North Carolina Marine Patrol have issued
numerous citations to boaters violating this no wake zone. Boaters often state that the reason they
did not abide by the no wake zone was because they never saw the existing buoys. Once the pylon
signs are installed, boaters should be able to easily and clearly identify the no wake zone.
The pylons will be a total of forty-five feet in length and will be driven fifteen feet into the
ground by a pile driver. Fifteen feet of the pylon will be above the mean high water line and the
no wake signs will be placed towards the tops of the pylons. Signs will have a standard four square
foot white reflective face with an orange border and an orange circle in the center.
