PROJECT SUMMARY: Applicant proposes to replace existing woodcii groins, a replace a porticr~ of existing bulkhead, and build a new section of bulkhead. Pamptecough Shores Company CAMA Major Permit #77-OS Beaufort County The applicant is requesting a Major Modification to existing CAMA Major Permit #77- 05. The original permit was for the construction of a 10 slip boathouse and bulkhead shoreline stabilization within the existing man-made canal. All work on the original permit has been completed. Project Setting The project site is a man-made basin located at lot 374 Kuglercamp Rd adjacent to the Pamlico River, in the Hawkin's Beach Community, near the Town of Bath in Beaufort County North Carolina. The man-made basin connects with the Pamlico River, an estuarine water body classified SC/NSW by the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. Existing structures on the project site include bulkhead that runs along the entrance canal and around the boat basin, a boat ramp in the northeast corner, a launch pier on the eastern side of the boat ramp, a 10 slip boathouse, and a wooden jetty extending from the mouth of the canal otrt into the Pamlico River. The property is bordered to the north by Kuglercamp Road and to the south by a narrow strip of pine trees, with an under-story of woody shrub vegetation that slopes down to a sandy beach. Single-family homes border the site to the east and to the west. The surrounding lots are vegetated with a mixture of pines, hardwoods, lawn grasses and ornamental shrubs. Project Description The applicant proposes to replace two existing jetties, install new bulkhead along a section of the boat basin, and replace a section of existing bulkhead. The two jetties run parallel to each other and form the entrance to the existing canal. The western most jetty is f179' and the eastern most jetty is X185'. The proposed new section of bulkhead will be X75' along the western side of the existing man-made boat basin and is the only section around the boat basin that does not have a bulkhead. A X57' section of bulkhead will be replaced on the eastern side of the boat basin. Anticipated Impacts The project as proposed will result in f364' of river bottom filled due to the wooden jetty. The proposed bulkhead will result in the filling of X132' of estuarine shoreline. The project as proposed will result in localized turbidity as a result of the construction activities. Mike S. Thomas 7 December 2006 Narrative for Pamtico Shores, Inc. The request for proposed improvements at Pamtico Shores, Inc. provides for the replacement of an existing groin, replacement of some faulty bulkhead, extension of some bulkhead to contain sand erosion into the boat basin. The boat basin has been in service for over fifty years and has recently under gone boathouse re-construction. There is an existing boat ramp near the west end of the boat.basin adjacent to the boathouse. The depth (optimum normal) of the boat basin and channel ranges between three and four feet depth, adequate for no-wake; motor tilted up access to the boathouse storage from the Pamlico River. Channel Widemtng The existing jetty on the west side of the channel has failed to perform due to age and fatigue. It is to be replaced at the same elevation as it now exists and bulkhead extended 75 feet more or less along the north side of a sand bar containing the southern part of the boat basin. Drainage from the north flows into the boat basin under the boathouse. Wave action-has caused the sand bar to erode and deposit material into the boat basin and near the channel entrance to the Pamlico River. The existing bulkhead on the east side of the channel is proposed to be removed and replaced to provide for a uniform channel width. Groin Removal and Replacement An existing groin protrudes into the river southerly and bends westerly. Its purpose was to protect. the channel inlet from winds from the southeast, which has a longer fetch than the pre-dominant southwest wind. Solute transport along with tidal fluctuations moves sediment down stream approximately 60% of the time and 40% of the time upstream. The heavy sediment movements are downstream following an upstream event or a storm event having pushed water upstream and the flow begins to equalize. The configuration of the proposed groin is at the request of the owners and their contractor to replace what seems to have been appropriate for them for some time. Should opposition arise for' permitting the groin as requested, we would like the opportunity to amend the request to include a short groin along the west side of the channel, extending a yet to be determined distance into the river to be matched by a groin on the east side of the channel extending to the same depth of the western groin. The length will be computed to attenuate wind and wave action energy in the channel yet allow for littoral movement up and down the river without a containment area for the solute.
