Narrative Description:
The property is located adjacent to the Newport River at 217-221 Rudolf Drive near Beaufort,
Carteret County. This property is developed with single family residences. The adjacent properties
are similarly developed.
The average elevation of the high ground of the parcels is about 7' above the normal high water level
(nhw). There is a combined total of 300' of shoreline on these 3 lots along the Newport River.
Vegetation on the property mainly consist of shrubs, trees, coastal wetlands, and lawn grasses.
Immediate offshore water depths adjacent to the parcel range from —0.3' to —2' normal low water
level (nlw). The subaqueous substrate is firm with shell. There is no submerged aquatic vegetation in
the nearby vicinity of the project area.
There is not a cultural resource in the nearby vicinity of the project area. This waterbody is
approximately 2.5 miles across at this location. These coastal waters are not classified as a Primary
Nursery Area and submerged aquatic vegetation habitat is present at this location. This area is open
to shellfish harvest and is classified as SA; High Quality Waters. There is a defined Federal Channel
approximately 1,700' from this project area. This project area is within the White Oak River Basin.
Proposed Development:
The applicants wish to construct oyster rock sills within the Newport River, near Beaufort. The
proposed development will take place at 217-221 Rudolf Drive, Carteret County. The proposed
development will serve three private home owners.
The applicants wish to install three 100' long sill sections using bagged oyster shells. The 300' long
sill would run parallel to the shoreline with an average distance of 30' waterward of the edge of the
Coastal Wetlands. The sills would be constructed to be no more than 6' wide. There would be a 5'
gap every 100' to preserve water circulation. A 10' long baffle would be installed five feet waterward
of the southernmost gap. Upon completion of the sill, the applicants wish to plant plugs of Spartina
alterniflora in the areas between the sill and the shoreline. The applicants hope that the area landward
of the proposed sills will become stable with Coastal Wetland species.
Anticipated Impacts:
The proposal will not pose a hazard to navigation. The proposed sills would extend approximately
30' waterward into the Newport River. The proposed sills would fill 1,800 square feet of shallow
bottom habitat.
There is not a cultural resource in the nearby vicinity of the project area. These waters of the
Newport River are not classified as a Primary Nursery Area and the presence of submerged
aquatic vegetation was not observed in the immediate vicinity of the project area. This area is

Project Narrative
Newport River Living Shoreline (Rudolph Drive)
Applicants: Thomas Steepy, Jane Hastings & John Glasgow
217, 219, & 221 Rudolph Dr, Beaufort, NC 28512
Date: September 12, 2017
Three properties in the Deerfield Shores neighborhood on the Newport River in Beaufort, NC in
Carteret County (see Project Location Map) have significantly eroded through the years due to
storms and boat wakes, resulting in the loss of over 25 feet of fringing salt marsh habitat. To
address this loss of wetlands, the landowners would like to install a living shoreline along the
three properties to restore oyster and salt marsh habitat and to reduce further erosion.
The living shoreline will consist of a 300 linear ft. oyster shell bag sill with landward salt marsh
grass plantings and will function as a barrier to wave action. Once in place, the sill and plantings
will require little to no maintenance. The oyster shells inside the bags will provide a hard surface
for naturally occurring oyster larvae to attach to, a limiting substrate for oysters in our coastal
waters. After a few years, the sill will be a fully functioning and productive oyster reef. The roots
of the salt marsh plants will help to hold the sediments together, thereby reducing erosion of the
shore. The marsh grass blades will slow waves during storms and provide a sheltered place for
recreationally and commercially important fish and crabs to live and grow. These restoration
activities will not only help to stabilize the eroding shorelines, but will also provide habitat for
wildlife, fmfish and shellfish. The restored marsh and oyster habitat will help to filter nutrients
and pollutants, and thereby improve the water quality of the Newport River.
The overall goal of this project is to re-establish fringing salt marsh along the three shorelines
and to enhance oyster growth in the Newport River. This will provide the landowners with
extremely valuable estuarine habitat for which they will become long-term stewards of. The
restoration effort will be financially supported by the landowner and through the NOAA Coastal
Ecosystem Resiliency 2016-2018 Grant Program that was awarded to the North Carolina Coastal
Federation, the Authorized Agent for the three property owners, in December 2015.
Restoration Methods and Techniques:
Oyster Shell Bag; Assembly
Recycled oyster shells will be purchased from Quality Crab Co. Inc., a seafood company in
Elizabeth City, NC. The shells will be delivered by tractor trailer to the federation's headquarters
office in Newport, NC, where the landowners and federation staff, volunteers and/or contractors
will place there inside mesh bags using PVC tubes and wooden or aluminum bagging frames
(Figures 1 and 2). The bags will be stockpiled at the federation office and gradually transported
to the three properties using dump trailers and then stockpiled in upland areas until receipt of the
permit and permission to begin construction of the oyster shell bags sill.

Oyster Shell Ba Sills ills (see Work Plat Drawings 1 and 2)
Three, 100 linear ft. oyster shell bag sill sections will be constructed parallel to the three eroding
shorelines in the Newport River. The location of the sill footprint is shown in Figure 3. The
distance of the sills from MEW will range from 100 ft. to 130 ft. with an average distance of 115
ft. from MHW. The sills will likewise be placed at a distance ranging from 10 ft. to 50 ft.
waterward of the existing vegetation with an average distance of 30 ft. from the existing
vegetation. The width of the existing fringing salt marsh vegetation ranges from 70-115 ft.

Steepy shoreline. Left. Hastings and Glasgow shorelines.
To construct the sills, the landowners and federation staff, volunteers and/or contactors will
transport the oyster shell bags from the upland stockpile site to the existing docks using carts or
wheelbarrows. To prevent foot traffic and trampling of the existing salt marsh vegetation, the
loaded carts will then be wheeled down the docks and the bags will be passed by hand directly
into the water and placed along the sill footprint. The bags will be placed perpendicular to the
shoreline to avoid rolling (3 bags high and 3 bags wide) on top of a base layer of biodegradable
jute matting to minimize bag burial. The width of the sill will be no wider than 6 ft. Five foot
gaps in the sill will occur every 100 ft. to allow water circulation and fish passage. A 10 ft. baffle
will be constructed with the bags, 5 ft. waterward of the southernmost gap.
Marsh Grass Plantings (see Work Plat Drawing 2)
The area landward of the oyster shell bag sill will be planted with plugs of smooth cordgrass,
Spartina alterniflora, the spring following construction of the sill. The landowners and
federation staff, volunteers and/or contractors will use dibble bars to create 6 -inch V-shaped
holes in the intertidal zone about 6 inches apart (Figure 4). A plug of S. alterniflora will be
placed into each hole. The hole will then be covered by hand. Depending on planting success,

additional spring plantings may be necessary for 2 to 3 years until the vegetation becomes
established. These additional plantings will depend on the availability of funding and plants from
nurseries.

The purpose of the living shoreline (oyster shell bag sill and landward salt marsh grass plantings) is to restore oyster and salt
marsh habitat along the shoreline of the three properties and reduce further erosion of the fringing salt marsh. The living
shoreline will function as as a barrier to wave action from boat wakes and storms. Once in place, the sill and plantings will
require little to no maintenance.
c. Describe the proposed construction methodology, types of construction equipment to be used during construction, the number of each type
of equipment and where it is to be stored.
All work will be done by hand by the landowners and by federation staff, volunteers and/or contractors. Bags of recycled
oyster shells will be assembled offsite and transported by trailer to the three properties. To minimize foot traffic and trampling
of the existing salt marsh vegetation, the bags will be temporarily stockpiled above mean high water prior to construction or
immediately placed onto carts and wheeled down the existing docks. The bags will then be passed by hand from the carts to
the sill footprint. The sill footprint will be located an average of 115 ft. from MHW (an average of 30 ft. waterward of the
existing salt marsh vegetation) and will extend 300 linear ft. along the shoreline of the three properties. The bags will be
placed perpendicular to the shoreline (3 bags high and 3 bags wide) on top of a base layer of biodegradable jute matting to
minimize bag burial. The width of the sill will be no wider than 6 ft. Five foot gaps in the sill will occur every 100 ft. to allow
water circulation and fish passage. A 10 ft. baffle will be constructed with the bags, 5 ft. waterward of the southernmost gap.
Plugs of smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) will be planted during the spring following construction of the sill. Heavy
construction equipment will not be used. The width of the existing fringing salt marsh vegetation ranges from 70-115 ft.

Work Plat Drawing 2 of 2: Oyster Shell Bag Sill Design - Cross -Section View
Date: September 12, 2017
The sills will consist of three layers of oyster shell bags placed perpendicular to the shoreline, three bags end to end. The bags will be placed on
top of a base layer of biodegradable jute matting to minimize bag burial. Each oyster shell bag is approximately 2 ft. long, 6 in. wide and 6 in.
high. The area landward of the oyster shell bag sills will be planted with Spartina alterniflora the spring following construction of the sill.
