PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to construct a community pier with observation

Field Investigation Report:
Wilmington Commercial Property
Page 02
---------------------------
9. Narrative Description:
The property is an 18.83-acre tract recently subdivided into 22 residential lots. The roadway
and utilities were installed landward of the CAMA 75' Estuarine Shoreline AEC, and as such
the project has required no CAMA Permit to date. The applicants received DWQ
Stormwater Permit #SW8060304 for the work that has been done. Presently, the developers
wish to install a community pier on the common lot, and are applying for a permit to do so.
The tract lies on both sides of Landing Road and abuts Straits Road in the Straits community
of Carteret County. The property fronts Whitehurst Creek to the east, and Pig Point Creek
to the west, but is bound by private residential properties to the south. Pig Point Creek is a
local name for the western branch of Whitehurst Creek. Vegetation on the tract currently is
mostly new lawn grasses and weeds following the recent disturbance. A fringe of pines, live
oaks, and yaupon holly form the perimeter. A narrow fringe of Juncus roemerianus,
Spartina alterniflora, and Spartina patens separates the high ground from the creeks.
The Carteret County Land Use Plan classifies this area of the County as Rural, with AEC's
classified as Conservation. The waters of both branches Whitehurst Creek are designated
Primary Nursery Area per the NCDMF. Both branches of the creek are open to the taking
of shellfish per the NCDHS. The waters of both branches carry a water quality classification
of SA. The elevation of the tract ranges from insl to +3' and +5'. Bottom substrate within
the creeks is very fine and silty, and lends easily to resuspension.
On the eastern shoreline of the property is a lot between #'s 9 and 10 that is dedicated as the
common area for the subdivision. It is on this 12,260 sf lot that the immediate project is
proposed. The lot is vacant, as are all of the lots in the subdivision. There is an asphalt
turn-around for vehicular traffic, shrub/scrub perimeter, and fringe of coastal wetlands
along the 45' shoreline. This is the shoreline of the property that abuts the main, or eastern
branch of Whitehurst Creek. There are several small residential piers to the north along this
shoreline, and one to the south. A small pier with dock lies to the immediate north of the
proposed pier site.
The request is for a community pier and observation platform. The 6' wide pier would begin
on high ground in the middle of the lot, and extend 12' ±over high ground, 42' ±over coastal
wetlands, and 69' into the waters of Whitehurst Creek. At the waterward end, there is a 12'
x 14' covered gazebo proposed. The complete structure would extend approximately 72' into
the 500' + body of water. The design is such that a dogleg is necessary midway thru the
structure for it to remain in the riparian corridor, and 15' from each. The corridor as
depicted appears to align 90° from the main channel of the creek. At the terminus of the
structure, the applicant shows -1.9' of water at nlw, however field visits have failed to verify
as much. The gazebo is for observation, fishing, crabbing, etc. No boat slips or docking
areas are proposed.

Field Investigation Report:
Wilmington Commercial Property
Page 03
10. Anticipated Impacts:
As proposed, the pier will shade 72 sf of high ground, 252 sf of mixed coastal marsh
described above, and 414 sf of open water/shallow bottom habitat. The gazebo will
incorporate and shade another 168 sf of shallow bottom area in the open water system, for a
total of 582 sf. Turbidity impacts should be short term during the driving of pilings. The
intended use does not include the docking of vessels. Assuming it is not used for this
purpose, there should not be future impacts such as scarring and resuspension. The
proposed structure will not be a hazard to navigation or exceed the established pier length
within this creek.

SUBJECT: Preliminary land, soils, and wetlands evaluation of the Hackney -Straits tract
(~18 acres) for on-site waste treatment suitability and potential 404-CAMA
Wetland areas. Tract located south of Straits Road (NCSR 1336) and Landing
Road intersection, Gloucester/Straits areas, Smyrna Township, Carteret County,
North Carolina.

A preliminary land & soils evaluation was completed of the Hackney -Straits tract (~18 acres)
for on-site waste treatment suitability and potential 404-CAMA Wetland areas. The current
rules and regulations of NCGS 130-A and NCDENR (NCAC 15A-18A-.1900) were used as
guidelines to determine site suitability for on-site subsurface waste treatment systems. The
1987 Federal Manual for Identifying and Delineating 404 Wetlands was used for the 404
Wetlands evaluation. The NCDENR-DCM-CAMA guidelines were used to determine CAMA
coastal wetland areas.
The enclosed preliminary land & soils map shows the various land/soil classifications and their
locations. The following is a brief description of each land & soil classification and their
potential for usage:
The "Yellow" Areas (see map) are uplands that appear to be usable for on-site waste
treatment with conventional, shallow conventional, or low pressure pipe systems. These soil
areas have an estimated seasonal high static water table +24 to 36" from the soil surface
during the wet season, based upon soil wetness indicators. Permeability is 30-80 min/in to
+30" depths, based upon soil texture and structure. Soil types found are Altavista.
The "Brown" Areas (see map) are uplands that appear to be usable for on-site waste
treatment with fill mound conventional, fill mound low pressure pipe, or alternative systems.
These soil areas have an estimated seasonal high static water table +14 to 23" from the soil
surface during the wet season, based upon soil wetness indicators. Permeability is 30-90
min/in to 30" depths, based upon soil texture and structure. Soil types found are Augusta and
Altavista-wet phase.

Augusta-wet phase.
The "Light-Gray" Areas (see map) are potential 404 Wetland areas that will likely come under
U.S. Army Corps-EPA and NCDENR-DWQ jurisdictions, based upon hydric soil and vegetative
indicators. These upper limits of wetland areas were delineated in the field with "pink/black-
striped" flagging. Jurisdictional 404 Wetlands cannot be filled or massively disturbed unless
the proper Federal 8 State permits can be acquired. Typically only minor fill permits (0.1-0.3
acres) are allowed unless wetlands mitigation is proposed. The US Army Corps makes all final
404 Wetland determinations. These areas are also unsuitable for on-site waste treatment
usage. Soil types found are Tomotley, Arapahoe, and Deloss.
The "Light-Green" Areas (see map) are potential CAMA-404 tidal marsh wetland areas that
are tidally influenced. These areas are likely to be classified by NCDENR-CAMA as
jurisdictional CAMA-404 tidal wetlands. These areas are dominated by Smooth Cord Grass
and Black Needle Rush which are CAMA marsh species. CAMA coastal wetland areas and
an AEC zone (area of environmental concern) which is 75 ft landward of the normal high water
line, requires state CAMA approval and permits before any development can be initiated. The
coastal marshes cannot be filled or massively disturbed, and typically can only have water
dependent structures such as piers and docks. The landward 75 ft AEC review area will allow
individual residences that are built out of CAMA wetland areas and >30 ft from the normal high
water line. Soil types found are Hobucken and Carteret. These areas are also unsuitable for
any on-site waste treatment usage. Waste treatment systems are typically located +50 to 100
ft from the mean high tide line or surface waters, pending location.
The "Blue" Areas (see map) are the saline tidal waters of Whitehurst Creek or Pig Point
Creek, which come under NCDENR-DCM/CAMA rules and USACOE-EPA Section 10 & 404
jurisdictions. These are Waters of the U.S. and Waters of the State to the extent of the normal
high tide line. Only water dependent structures (piers & docks) may encroach upon these
waters after proper CAMA permitting. Waste treatment systems are typically located +50 to
100 ft from the high tide line or surface waters, pending location of the mean high tide line.
This is a preliminary land & soils evaluation of this tract. This report and maps should be used
for general planning purposes only, as specific on-site evaluations, delineations, approvals,
and permits are required by each respective regulatory agency before any development
activities are initiated. NCDENR-DEH and the Carteret County Health Dept regulate & permit
on-site subsurface waste treatment systems. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-EPA regulate
404 wetland areas. NCDENR-DCM-CAMA regulate all tidal wetland areas and reviews all
development activities that are 75 ft landward of the normal high tide line.
