8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The project proposed is for the relocation of four existing slips
and eight existing mooring areas, the placement of three new floating docks, finger piers
and pilings. There would be a total of 43 slips with 19 currently existing (which includes
the relocated 4 slips and 8 moorings).
9. Narrative Description
The NC Maritime Museum project is located at 107 West Beaufort Road in Beaufort. The
property is owned by the Maritime Museum with the exception of the portion recently
acquired by The NC DOT for the Gallants Channel replacement bridge. The site is
currently providing dockage for museum vessel and transient boaters.
Field Investigation Report:
NC Maritime Museum
Page 02
The property is 26 acres in its entirety and is an average of 8' above NHW. Presently there
are existing docks, parking lot, bulkhead and driveway along the NC Maritime Museum
portion of the tract. The NCDOT portion of the tract currently houses a boat ramp, dock,
four slips and 8 slip mooring field. There is a fringe of coastal marsh on the DOT property
however the proposed work for the Museum would not affect the coastal wetlands along
this shoreline. They mostly consist of Spartina altemiflora and Spartina patens. The
undeveloped portion of the high ground on the Museum property is comprised mostly of
grass and scrub bushes. The developed portion of the high ground contains a rest room
facility, parking lot, picnic area with trash receptacles, and movie viewing area. The
existing development is a public project. There are commercial properties to the Northwest
and state agencies to the southwest of the project area.
The Town of Beaufort Land Use Plan classifies this property as Industrial, with all AEC's
classified Conservation. This section of Town Creek is not designated as Primary Nursery
Area and is not open to the taking of shellfish. Town Creek within this area carries a water
classification of SC. Riparian corridors were determined through field visits and aerial
photography. Substrate in Town Creek is mostly silt. No SAV's or shellfish beds were
observed within the proposal project area.
10. Proiect Description:
The current proposal is for the addition of 24 new slips with new docks, pilings and finger
piers. There are 19 slips currently with the addition of 24 for a total of 43.
The proposal is also for the addition of 3 floating docks to accommodate a total of 43 slips
(19 existing and 24 new). The southern most floating dock would be 8' x 150' with four 4'
x 30' finger piers and an 8' x 100't-platform at the end. This dock would attach to an
existing dock which is parallel to the existing boardwalk and would be accessed by an
existing 4' x 30' gangway. There would be 16 tie pilings located within the new dock area.
The southern dock area would accommodate slips 1-12 and two larger boats with side-to
dockage outside of the t-section on a temporary basis for slip areas 23 and 24. The
northern floating dock would be 8' x 200 with four 4' x 25' finger piers and 8 tie pilings.
The dock would accommodate slip areas 13-20 and two larger boats with side-to docking
outside of the floating dock on a temporary basis for slip areas 21 and 22. The applicants
are proposing a floating dock which would extend northeast from the north floating dock
and would retain the dimensions of 8' x 305' and then would connect to the existing
parallel dock at the new south dock location. This would accommodate the five slip areas
shown northeast of the northern dock and labeled for slips 25-29. These would not be
considered new slips since they have been counted towards the existing slip count of 19.
The northern dock would not extend any farther than 135' water ward of the existing
bulkhead. The outermost part of the south dock would not extend farther than 160' from
the existing floating dock. A portion of this dock extends into the NC DOT bridge project
area, however at this.time there is a Memorandum of Understanding and Agreement
between the NCDOT and the NC Department of Cultural Resources allowing the NC
Maritime Museum use of this area with the understanding that removal will be required
once the bridge project is underway. All docks would retain a width of 8' in order to
Field Investigation Report:
NC Maritime Museum
Page 03
provide safe access for the public when touring attractions and education vessels per the
applicant. This facility would remain for public use. The width of Town Creek in this area
is 673'. The proposed project would be a total length of 160' from the existing floating
dock and would not be a hindrance to navigation.
11. Anticipated Impacts:
The proposed docks and platforms would shade 5,460 ft2 and incorporate 43,000 ft2 of open
waters. The setting of pilings would cause an increase in temporary turbidity. There would
be no hindrance to navigation. The width of the access portion for the docks would be
greater than six feet however per 71-1.0208 (6) (A) could be permitted if the greater width is
necessary for safety or to improve public use access. The total length which includes the
tee- platform for the docking system would be 160' waterward of the existing floating
dock. This project has the potential to add additional public access and more transient
boating access. It also has the potential to cause economic hardship on private marinas
within the area.

SUBJECT: COMMENTS & RECOMMENDATIONS - CAMA MAJOR PERMIT- NC
MARITIME MUSEUM, 107 WEST BEAUFORT ROAD ARENDELL STREET,
BEAUFORT
DATE: 3/13/09
Dee Freeman
Secretary
The following are my comments and recommendations regarding the aforementioned proposal. The
proposal is for the addition of floating docks, finger piers, pilings and 24 new slips for public use. The
applicants propose three floating docks with the dimensions of 8' x 150', 8' x 200' and 8' x 305'. The 8'
x 150' dock would have four 4' x 30' finger piers, an 8' x 100' tee platform and 16 tie pilings. The 8' x
200' dock would have four 4' x 25' finger piers attached with 8 tie pilings. The 8' x 305' floating dock
would house five existing slips and attach to the existing floating dock. The width of the docks would
be greater than six feet, however per 714.0208 (6) (A) could be permitted if the greater width is
necessary for safety or to improve public use access. The DCM district agrees with this assessment
because of the large volume of the existing user group. The total pier length, which includes the
platform, would be a maximum of 160' from the existing floating dock.
Therefore I recommend the project be authorized as proposed on plats dated received February 27,
2008, contingent upon all applicable general conditions and the following standard conditions:
A condition for dock removal for the enchroachment in the DOT bridge project area.
The number of slips with existing and new shall not exceed 43 as shown in the Environmental
Assesment which received State Clearinghouse review of No Significant Impacts on January 21,
2009.

Ms. Heather Styron

Morehead City, NC 28557
Dear Ms. Styron:
is

Please find enclosed a CAMA permit application submitted on behalf of the North Carolina
Maritime Museum (Museum) to undertake development activities adjacent to their property
located in the Town of Beaufort and adjacent to the West Beaufort Road and Gallants Channel.
The Department of Transportation (DOT) recently acquired a portion of the Museum's property
for the Gallants Channel replacement bridge but is allowing the Museum to continue to use the
property for its various programs until the bridge project is underway.
The Museum will lose four permanent slips and an eight slip mooring field when they are asked
to abandon DOT's property. This proposed project will in part, allow for the relocation of those
slips to an area directly adjacent to the Museum's property. It is further understood that a portion
of the docking facilities proposed by this permit application will need to be removed at the time
of bridge construction. (I have attached a Memorandum of Understanding and Agreement
between the NC Department of Transportation and the NC Department of Cultural Resources.)
This proposed project consists of the placement of floating docks with a total of 29 slips into
Gallants Channel at the Museum's Gallants Channel Annex property located in the Town of
Beaufort, Carteret County. The site is approximately 26 acres in size and is located adjacent to
Gallants Channel, West Beaufort Road (NCSR 1170) and the Michael Smith Airport.
The southern most floating dock will be approx. 150' long x 8'wide with four, 30' long x 4' wide
finger piers and an approx 100' long x 8' wide "T" dock at its end. This dock will attach
perpendicularly to an existing floating dock which is located immediately adjacent and parallel
to the existing boardwalk. Pedestrian access to the proposed dock will be via the existing 30'
long x 4' wide ramp which already provides access to the existing floating dock. The proposed
dock will have 16 tie-up pilings and the ability to moor up to 12 boats. Two larger boats would
also have the ability to "lay-to" the outside of the "T" section but only on a temporary basis since
no tie-up pilings are available.
The northern floating dock will be 200' in length x 8' wide with 4 finger piers each being 25'
long x 4' wide. A 30'x 4' wide ramp will provide access to the floating dock. The dock will
have 8 tie-up pilings for 8 boats plus the ability for two larger boats to "lay-to" the outside of the
floating dock but only on a temporary basis since no tie-up pilings are available.
Also proposed is the placement of an approx. 305' long x 8' wide floating dock which will
connect the two proposed piers. This floating pier will be directly parallel and adjacent to an
existing bulkhead and its primary purpose will provide for an enhanced docking and
loading/unloading area than what presently exists. Since there will be no off-shore tie-up pilings
associated with this dock, only the larger boats would be able to moor in this area because of
wind and wave conditions. It is estimated that there is a potential for up to 5 large boats which
could temporarily moor in this area.
The proposed project will provide dockage for museum vessels and for visiting historic,
educational and transient vessels that come to Beaufort. The floating docks (excluding the finger
piers) are proposed to be 8' in width in order to provide a safe fairway for the public when
touring attraction and educational vessels that will be mooring at this facility.
A portion of the proposed docking facility will be built in part with a Boating Infrastructure
Grant from the US Fish and Wildlife Service. The purpose of the grant is to provide docking and
other facilities for recreational transient vessels greater than 26' in length.
This project is subject to the NC State Environmental Policy Act and has successfully completed
State Clearinghouse review with a Finding of No Significant Impact (please see attachment).
Besides the application and accompany drawings, I am enclosing 6 large plats of the site and
proposed docking plan as an attachment to the application. If you need more copies please let
me know. The wetland delineation for this site was completed in 2004 and I have attached 6
copies of this delineation along with the sign-off from the US Army Corps of Engineers as
another attachment. If you need more copies of this, please let me know. It is my understanding
that Mark Hardeman approved the Coastal Wetland delineation in December of 2004.
I have also included a letter from the Director of the NC Maritime Museum authorizing Jones
Coastal Consulting, Inc. to act as their agent for this permit application.
If you have any questions concerning this application request or need any additional information,
please do not hesitate to contact me at the above address.
