PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to construct a new bulkhead 2' waterward of an existing bulkhead. William Trotman Page 2 9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project site is located at 121 Point Drive, adjacent to Pages Creek, near Wilmington, New Hanover County. To locate the project site from the Wilmington Regional Office, head northwest on Cardinal Drive and turn right onto US Hwy 17/Market Street. Travel 3.4 miles and turn right onto Bayshore Drive. Travel 0.8 miles, turn left to stay on Bayshore Drive, and travel an additional 1.2 miles. Tum right onto Point Drive and the property of interest will be at the terminus of a gravel road that extends from the end of Point Drive. The applicant maintains a single-family residence on the property, which includes an existing uncovered platform, floating dock and boatlift along the waterfront. The lot is approximately 0.78 acres and averages 5' above normal high water. The approximately 250' of shoreline is stabilized by vegetation, except the easternmost approximately 86' which is stabilized by a failing wooden bulkhead. The upland vegetation consists of maintained lawn grass and ornamental landscaping. There is a fringe of Coastal Wetlands primarily consisting of Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) and Black Needlerush (Juncus roemerianus) that varies in width from 15' to 50'. The existing docking facility originates from the center of the lot and extends in a southwesterly direction into Pages Creek. The facility consists of a 122' by 6' fixed pier, a 17' by 17' fixed "L - head" uncovered platform, and a 20' by 8' floating dock that runs parallel to the channel. The existing docking facility currently accommodates up to two (2) vessels. The Wilmington -New Hanover County Land Use Plan classifies the area as Conservation. There are no known archaeological sites located within the immediate vicinity of the proposed project. The waters of Pages Creek are classified as SA, by the NC Division of Water Resources. The waters adjacent to the project area ARE designated as Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the NC Division of Marine Fisheries, and they are CLOSED for the harvesting of shellfish. 10. PROPOSED PROJECT The applicant proposes to construct a new bulkhead 2' waterward of an existing bulkhead. The application states that a new approximately 100' wooden bulkhead would be installed along the southeastern shoreline immediately waterward of an existing failing wooden bulkhead. The new wall would average approximately 15' landward of Normal Low Water (NLW), and just landward of Normal High Water (NHW). The wall would be approximately 5' in height to match the existing elevation of the lot and would be backfilled using clean fill material. The application states that there are approximately 20 ft2 of Coastal Wetlands along the existing wall that would be filled during the construction of the new wall (see Sheet 1 of 2), however during a site visit conducted 4/20/18, it appears there are Coastal Wetlands along approximately 64' of the existing wall which would result in the fill of approximately 128 ft2 of Coastal Wetlands. 11. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS The proposed new bulkhead would fill approximately 128 ft2 of Coastal Wetlands consisting primarily of Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina altemiflora). The bulkhead would disturb approximately 2,000 ft2 of highground for the associated backfill and tie -back anchor system. Minor increases in turbidity should be expected during construction.

Cardinal Drive Wilmington, NC 28405 T volll •• pui Office/Fax 910-270-1290 Mobile: 910-471-2034 trip@pippinmarinecom The enclosed CAMA major permit application for William Trotman,121 Point Drive, Wilmington, NC 28411 is to have a bulkhead installed along approx. 95' of shoreline. There is an area of coastal wetlands (+/- 20 s.f.) that has grown in the washed out area that will need to be covered with fill once the wall is installed. This area used to be part of the Trotman's yard before storm erosion washed it away. Silt fencing will be installed to minimize any impacts to the coastal marsh. !�/--. xl� TripPippin pp Pippin Marine Construction, LLC RECEIVED APR 0 6 2018 DCM WILMINGTON, INC Piers - Pilings - Boat Lifts - Bulkheads - Floating Docks - Residential & Commercial Marine Construction Since 1984 M WI APPUCATION for �1 Qe iepment Permit North Carolina DIVISION OF COASTAL MANAGEMENT 1.
