Davis Canal Property Owners - Long Beach
Brunswick County
The applicant proposes to maintain an existing man-made canal. The
project proposes a dredge depth of 5 feet MLW. The dredging is in
the Little Davis Canal classified SA and closed to shellfishing.
This project has been reviewed to determine impacts to water quality.
The following comments is offered: that the project be done in such
a way as to not cause tubidity to increase more than 25 NTUs outside
the construction zone.
This office has no objection to the project as proposed.

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project is located on the eastern arm of an existing man-made canal system.
The site can be reached by traveling to the west end of Oak Island (Long Beach
section) on Oak Island Drive and then turning south on 28th Street to East Island
Drive. At present there are only a few residential structures in this subdivision.
This portion of the canal is approximately 1,300' in total length. The width of
the feature is approximately 65' from bank to bank. It appears that 10' - 15' of
this width is the result of bank erosion. Average depths at mean low water
(MLW) range from approximately -1/2' MLW to +MLW. There are some scattered
colonies of smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) marsh located along the canal
banks. The waters in this area are classified as SA closed and "Little" Davis
Canal is designated as a secondary nursery. The fairly recent placement of small
size culverts at the road crossing may have influenced the shoaling rate in the
canal.
The applicants propose to excavate by dragline approximately 7,600 cubic yards
of silt/ sand material. This material will be placed along the waterward portions of
the individual lots located along the canal. A low berm will be used to prevent
the reentry of material back into the canal. The dimensions of the maintained
canal will be approximately 1,280' long x 40' x -5' MLW.
The excavation will begin at the mouth of the system and continue upstream to
the road crossing.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
There will be some short term turbidity and sedimentation problems associated
with the digging. Provided that this activity is timed so as to avoid periods of
peak biological activity no significant long term negative impacts are expected.
This project has received Corps of Engineers authorization on an individual
general permit basis. The total cubic yardage to be removed does not fit the
States general permit program, however.

Dear Mr. Pfaff :
On February 6, 1986, we renewed general permit No. SAWC080-N-
000-0291 (enclosed), which provides Federal authorization for
construction activities that receive authorization from the State
of North Carolina.
A review of your application received October 9, 1986, for a
Department of the Army permit to maintenaince dredge Davis Canal,
indicates it to be a candidate for Federal authorization under
this general permit. Accordingly, the administrative processing
of your application will be accomplished by the North Carolina
Division of Coastal Management. Comments from Federal review
agencies will be furnished to the State.
If your application must be withdrawn from this general permit
process for any reason, you will be written and informed of its
further management. If there are no unresolved differences of
State-Federal positions or policy, the final action taken on your
application by the State will result in your receiving written
notice from us that your application has been successfully
processed under our general permit. Only after receiving such
confirmation should you begin work.
Your application, pursuant to Section 10 of the River and
Harbor Act, has been assigned No. SAWC087-N-010-0031 and will be
coordinated by Mr. Ernest Jahnke. He is available to address
questions or comments you may have at telephone [phone].
