USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.

PROPOSED POINTE MARINA CONDOMINIUMS
OLD LUPTON ROAD, NCSR 1326,
PAMLICO COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
Project Description
This project consists of the development of a twelve unit condominium complex on 2.86 acres of
land located at the end of Old Lupton Road, NCSR 1326 in Pamlico County, North Carolina.
The property is the location of the currently operating Pointe Marina.
The subject property is currently developed with asingle-family residential dwelling, asphalt
parking areas, and a marina office/dockhouse. The existing marina consists of wooden dock
structures. The existing docking system is not proposed to be altered under this project.
Previous CAMA Major Permit Applications have been submitted and approved associated with
bulkhead replacement and marina renovations. (CAMA Permits Attached) The project permit
packages are associated with upland development that will occur on the property to construct the
condominium units.
It is proposed that twelve residential condominium units be constructed on the 2.86 acre parcel.
Paved access drives and parking areas will be extended into the project off of Old Lupton Road.
The existing marina dockhouse will be demolished and a new dockhouse will be constructed on
an existing concrete slab as shown on the project plans. As small manmade basin located on
land to be owned by Pamlico Consort, LLC and Mr. Joseph C. Avolis and Mr. John Kevin
Avolis will be filled to accommodate the proposed development.
The proposed condominium development will be served by public water service provided by
Pamlico County. Individual septic tank systems will be constructed to serve the proposed
development. The sewage disposal areas are located remotely from the subject property near the
corner of Old Lupton Road and Whortsonsville Road, approximately 1,800 feet northeast of the
subject property. Sewage effluent will be pumped from the subject property to these off-site
disposal areas. Permits have been issued for these remote disposal facilities by the Pamlico
County Health Department.
The following permits are being secured associated with the upland development portion of the
proposed project:
1. CAMA Major Permit
2. Coastal Stormwater Permit
3. Erosion and Sedimentation Control Permit
4. Public Water Permit
5. On-Site Wastewater Permit
6. NCDOT Driveway Permit
NCDOT Encroachment Agreement
Preconstruction Notification (PCN)
9. 401 Water Quality Certification
10. Neuse Riparian Buffer Variance
All permitting efforts associated with the renovations of the existing marina facilities are being
completed independently of the permit packages for the upland development.
Find below a general description of the proposed development as it relates to each of these
permits.
A. CAMA Major Permit
A CAMA Major permit is being sought in order to properly execute this project. LAMA
Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC) exist on the property. The limits of the 75 foot
AEC are delineated on the project plans. Limited development is proposed to occur
within these CAMA AEC areas as a part of the proposed upland development. The
proposed disturbance within the LAMA AEC area as part of the upland development
includes the installation of limited impermeable surfaces within the CAMA AEC area
and the light filling and grading in the AEC areas to establish finish grades.
Additionally, a small man made basin will be filled as delineated on the project plans.
The basin areas to be filled covers a total of 4,096 SF. A total of 45 linear feet of
bulkheadina will be installed to retain the till in the mouth of the manmade basin to be
tilled.
The total 75 foot CAMA AEC area on the subject property is 62,623 SF, 1.44 acres. It is
proposed that a total of 4,832 square feet of impermeable surfaces be created within the
75 foot CAMA AEC. A total of 7.71 % of the 75 foot CAMA AEC will be covered with
impermeable surfaces upon the completion of the proposed upland development. The
total area to be disturbed by the proposed development in the CAMA AEC is
approximately 23,500 square feet.
A 90 linear feet section of vinyl bulkheading is proposed to be placed in the section of
shoreline in the area the existing dockhouse to be demolished.
A six foot wide walkway is proposed to be constructed along the existing slip on Coffee
Creek.
Otherwise, no other land disturbing activities or construction are proposed to occur
within the CAMA AEC.
B. Coastal Stormwater Permit
The subject property is located adjacent to Broad Creek, Browns Creek and Coffee
Creek. Each of these creeks has a surface water classification of SA, HQW, NSW.
Stormwater runoff from the project will discharge to these surface waters. Since the
receiving surface waters are classified SA, an infiltration type system is required to
comply with the Coastal Stormwater Regulations.
The subject property covers a total area of 2.86 acres of land. It is proposed that a total
of 0.89 acres of impermeable surfaces be created associated with upland development for
the project. The overall built-upon density of the project is 31.0% necessitating a High
Density Stormwater permit. Since the receiving waters for this project are classified SA,
an infiltration type system is required.
All Stormwater runoff from the 1'/z-inch storm will be routed to one of two infiltration
basins designed for the project. Excess runoff from upland development will bypass
above the 1'/z-inch design volume will bypass the infiltration systems and will discharge
to a vegetated Swale along Old Lupton Road and ultimately to the marsh areas adjacent to
Broad Creek.
A total of (2) drainage basins are located on the subject property. One infiltration basin
is proposed for each of these drainage basins. A discussion of the development in each
drainage basin follows:
Drainage Basin No. 1 covers a total area of 77,578 square feet. It is proposed that a total
of 27,843 square feet of impermeable surfaces be created within this drainage basin. The
final built-upon percentage for this drainage basin is 35.9%. Considering the
impermeable and permeable surfaces within this drainage basin, the 1'/2-inch design
storm volume was calculated to be 4,376 cubic feet.
All runoff from Drainage Basin No. 1 discharges from the impermeable surfaces towards
the entrance road. The entrance road will be constructed with an inverted crown and all
runoff will discharge to Infiltration Basin No. l via one drop inlet. A weir structure is
being provided in this drop inlet to divert all excess storm volume above the 1'/~-inch
storm volume to the vegetated Swale located along the western side of Old Lupton Road.
Bypass stormwater runoff will flow through a total of approximately 90 linear feet of
vegetated Swale prior to entering a depressed basin area adjacent to the adjacent wetland
area. Runoff at this location will accumulate and will cap the back slope of the depressed
area creating non-erosive flow prior to entering the 50 foot Neuse Riparian Buffer area.
At this point the discharge will flow across the vegetated 50 foot Neuse Riparian Buffer
prior to entering the marsh area adjacent to Broad Creek.
Infiltration Basin No. 1 is proposed to be constructed to contain a maximum design depth
of 1.2 feet. The bottom of the infiltration basin will occur at elevation 3.8 or
approximately'/2 feet above the existing grade in this area. The total calculated capacity
of Infiltration Basin No. 1 is 4,711 cubic feet, which is greater than the 4,376 cubic foot
design storm volume.
Drainage Basin No. 2 is located on the eastern side of Old Lupton Road. This drainage
basin covers a total area of 47,216 square feet. It is proposed that a total of 10,979 square
feet of impermeable surfaces be created within this drainage basin. The built-upon
percentage for this drainage basin is 23.3%. Considering the impermeable and permeable
surfaces within this drainage basin, a 1'/z-inch design storm volume was calculated to be
2,141 cubic feet. The runoff from the newly created impermeable surfaces within this
drainage basin will be diverted to Infiltration Basin No. 2. All runoff will occur to a drop
inlet which will be constructed with an overflow weir to divert excess volume above the
1'/2-inch design storm volume to the vegetated swales along Old Lupton Road. The
bypass stormwater at this location will accumulate with the bypass stormwater from
Infiltration Basin No. 1 and will ultimately discharge in the same fashion as that
occurring from Infiltration Basin No. 1.
Infiltration Basin No. 2 will be constructed to a maximum depth of 1.0 feet. The
calculated volume of Infiltration Basin No. 2 is 2,211 cubic feet. The capacity of this
basin exceeds the 1'/2-inch design storm volume of 2,141 cubic feet.
A soils investigation was completed on the subject property as a part of the initial design
efforts. A series of hand augers were advanced on the subject property in the vicinity of
the proposed infiltration basins. The soil profile encountered at each auger location can
be described as follows:
DEPTH DESCRIPTION
0" - 4" Topsoil
4" - 8" Medium Brown Sandy Loam
8" - 18" Light Brown Medium Sand
18" - 28" Orange Sandy Clay with Tan Mottles
28" - 34" Grey Silty Sand
34" - 36" Medium Brown Silty Fine Sand
The augers advanced in the area of Infiltration Basin No. 1 revealed soil wetness
indicators at depths of approximately 18 inches below the surface. Groundwater was
present at a depth of 28 inches at this location. Considering the elevations in this area of
the site, soil wetness conditions were found to occur at an elevation of 1.7 feet.
Groundwater was found to occur at an elevation of 0.87 feet. The bottom of Infiltration
Basin No. 1 is proposed to occur at an elevation of 3.8 feet. A minimum of two feet of
vertical separation between the bottom of the basin and the seasonal high water table is
proposed.
Hand augers advanced in the area of Infiltration Basin No. 2 revealed soil wetness
indicators at a depth of approximately 28 inches below the surface with groundwater
occurring at a depth of approximately 35 inches below the surface. Considering the
elevations in this area of the site, wetness conditions were found to occur at an elevation
of 1.47 feet and groundwater was found to occur at an elevation of 0.88 feet. The bottom
of Infiltration Basin No. 2 will occur at an elevation of 4.0 feet, or approximately 2.5 feet
above the seasonal high water table in this area.
Considering the sandy characteristics of the soils present on the subject property, a
design permeability rate of 2.0 inches per hour was selected as the design permeability
rate for the project. Considering this rate, infiltration of the 1'/z-inch design storm will
occur within a time period of approximately 6 to 8 hours of a storm event.
C. Erosion and Sedimentation Control Permit
An Erosion and Sedimentation Control permit will be needed to properly execute the
project since in excess of one acre of land will be disturbed. It is proposed that all upland
areas of the subject property other than areas within the Zone 1 50 foot Neuse Riparian
Buffer area and portions of the Zone 2 area be disturbed to execute the project.
Additionally, it is proposed that the small inland basin present on the northwestern side
of the subject property be filled. These are the only activities that will occur below the
normal water level on the subject property.
In addition to the onsite activities, land disturbing activities will occur along the right-of-
way area of Old Lupton Road and within the proposed remote sewage disposal area
located 1,800 feet northeast of the subject property along Florence Road. The areas of
disturbance are presented on the project plans. The total proposed disturbed area for this
project is 5.56 acres. A permit fee in the amount of $300 is included with the permit
application.
Erosion and Sedimentation Control devices will be utilized on the subject property to
protect the abutting surface waters and surrounding properties. Permanent vegetation
will be established on the site in order to stabilize the finish surfaces.
D. Pubic Water Supply Permit
A Public Water Supply permit will be sought to properly execute the project. An existing
6-inch water main is located adjacent to the property along Old Lupton Road.
Connections will be made to this water main. It is proposed that 6-inch water mains be
extended into the project area in order to provide individual water services for each of the
twelve condominium units and to replace the existing public water service to the marina
faci 1 ity.
The existing water distribution system in this area is owned by Pamlico County. Project
plans and specifications for the water distribution system will be submitted to the State of
North Carolina through Pamlico County for approval.
E. On-Site Wastewater Permit
Sewage disposal for the project will occur to remote sewage disposal areas located
approximately 1,800 feet northeast of the subject property along Florence Road. The
Pamlico County Health Department has issued onsite septic permits for four 6-bedroom
septic systems. A copy of the applicable permits are attached. It is proposed that a septic
tank and pump basin be constructed adjacent to each cluster of three residential units. All
sewage will flow to the septic tanks. Effluent will discharge from the septic tanks to
individual pump tanks, where the effluent will be pumped to the remote drain field areas.
F. NCDOT Driveway Permit
An NCDOT Driveway permit will be secured for the project to make drive connections
to Old Lupton Road.
G. NCDOT Encroachment Agreement
An NCDOT Encroachment Agreement will be secured for the project in order to install
the utility improvements presented on the project plans along Old Lupton Road.
H. Preconstruction Notification (PCN)
A PCN application form will be submitted to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to secure
approval to fill the small manmade basin depicted on the project plans. The same
application will be submitted to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality in order to
secure a 401 Water Quality Certification to fill the inland basin. Additionally, a Neuse
Riparian Buffer Variance will be sought with this same permit to construct a new marina
club house on the existing concrete slab located partially in Zone 1 and Zone 2 of the
Neuse Buffer.

PCN form is designed for the convenience of the applicant to address information needs for all USACE
Nationwide, Regional or General permits, as well as information required for State authorizations,
certifications, and coordination. Fully providing the information requested on this form will result in a

issued from a separate office. In such cases, the project must be identifiable on the U.S. Treasury check
so that it can be credited to the appropriate project. If written approval is sought solely for Buffer Rules,
the application fee does not apply, and the applicant should clearly state (in a cover letter) that only
Buffer Rule approval is sought in writing. Wetlands or waters of the U.S. may not be impacted prior to
issuance or waiver of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Upon receipt of a complete application
