A 2.5 ac. parking ,. ?i nlnnne.d. 9 Narrative description The project site consists of four-acres of high ground property within the City of New Bern's Lawson Creek Park situated on the east side of Hwy. 70 bypass at the Pembrook Exit' SR1200 off the Tent River and Lanes Branch of Lawson Creek in Craven County. Mr. Charles H.. Kimbrell, Director of Public Works, has submitted a CAMA application to develop a public boat launching facility that will include four concrete boat ramps, access piers and a 2.5 acre parking lot. Each ramp will measure 50' long and 13' wide and will be joined by a 5' wide wooden pier extending 50' into the creek. The center pier will measure 74' long. The design of the westernmost pier includes a 5' wide "L" head platform extending upstream 95'. The easternmost pier includes a 23' long "L" head extending down stream. A concrete apron approximately 25' wide by 100' long will join the actual ramps to the gravel parking lot area which will provide about 100 parking spaces on the 2.5 acres of land. Abnormal amounts of runoff water that occur will be directed along the grassed swales within the parking lot and through an existing culvert system to the SB waters of Lawson Creek. The natural water depths within Lawson Creek and Lanes Branch are 5-8' deep on NWL. The creek is approximately 200' wide in the area of the proposed project. A small patch of Spartina cynosuroides measuring about 150 sq.ft. occurs along the project shoreline near the east end and will not be involved with the.proposed construction activities. Historically, the project site is a former land fill for the City of New Bern and some of.the old debris can still be seen along the shore- line. The highground property is well vegetated with different types of natural grasses and other pioneering plant species. The project plans clearly show that a 75' wide vegetated buffer zone will be maintained between the proposed parking lot and the water's edge. Although not specifically mentioned in the applocation, the City of New Bern will provide restroom facilities at the site by using permanently installed porterjohnsd as are currently being used at the existing boat ramp further in the.park. This project will be funded by monies made available from Craven County working in conjunction with the City of New Bern. 10. 'Anticipated impacts The City has told this office that the reason this project is being pursued is that the two existing ramps are overcrowded and shoaling problems prohibit launching of boats during periods of low water. The presumption is that the two existing ramps on the Trent River will be closed to traffic or will be used only by smaller boats dur- ing periods of high water. There appears to be a strong need for the launching facility that includes the four boat ramps on Lanes Branch of Lawson Creek. Clearly, the natural water depths are deeper than at the existing boat ramps and the proposed parking lot area will i provide increased space for the users of the.facility. The loca- tion of these ramps', and the expanded facility, is strategic in its location near the confluence of the Trent and Neuse Rivers where boat traffic will have the option in which direction to pursue the recreational activities. The actual construction will displace ap- proximately 1500 sq.ft. of open creek bottom land and 1500 sq.ft. of hillside. The 2.5 acre parking lot will eliminate the existing vegetation, but will replace the same area with marl. The 75' vege- tated buffer zone will do much to prevent direct runoff from enter- ing the adjacent waters of Lawson Creek. In addition, the natural slope of the land will cause all runoff water to pass across the gravel parking lot before being directed through the culvert system. CAMA REVIEW The project has been revieweed with reference to the LUP for the. City of New Bern dated 1981. The project is considered consistent with that document where the highground property is classified as transitional and the surface waters of Lawson Creek as conservation. The City makes specific reference to supporting public waterfront ac- cess and the development of:the park on Lawson Creek. 1 r Zubmitted by James L.

Division of Environmental Management concerning a revision he requested in the parking lot plan for the City's new boat launching facility, he advised me to send you the revised plan which'is attached hereto. You will readily note that the revision deals exclusively with the direction surface water will flow from the parking lot and that in doing so, more of it will be filtered as it passes through the expanded "undis- turbed green/plant area" identified on the drawing under figure 1. Should you have any questions about this revision, please let me or Mr. Moore know as soon as possible as the City of New Bern and the County of Craven who is providing financial assistance for this facility, are very anxious to begin construction.

The Federal agencies have completed review of the proposal as presented by the application and your field investigation report. We recommend that the following conditions be included in the State authorization: a. All excavated materials will be confined landward of the normal water elevation contour and any wetlands. b. Vegetated wetlands will not be excavated or filled. c. The temporary placement or double handling of excavated or fill materials within waters or vegetated wetlands is not authorized. d. It is possible that the authorized structure may be damaged by wavewash from passing vessels. The issuance of this permit does not relieve the permittee from taking all proper steps to ensure the integrity of the permitted structure and the safety of moored boats from damage by wavewash. The permittee will not hold the United States liable for any such damage. -2- r a' e. The permittee will maintain the authorized work in good condition and in conformance with the terms and conditions of this permit. f. The activity will be conducted in such a manner as to prevent a significant increase in turbidity outside the area of construction or construction-related discharge. Increases such that the turbidity in the waterbody is 50 NTU's or less are not considered significant. Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. David Baker, telephone (919) 343-4642.

Parka (set of four). Each ramp will measure 50' x 13' and will provide a r pier access to Lanes Branch. A 2.5 ac. parking lot with restroom facilitie 9 Narrative description The project site consists of four acres of high ground property within the City of New Bern's Lawson Creek Park situated on the east side of Hwy. 70 bypass at the Pembrook Exit* SR1200 off the Trent River and Lanes Branch of Lawson Creek.in Craven County. Mr. Charles H. Kimbrell, Director of Public [corks, has submitted a CAMA application to develop a public boat launching facility that will include four concrete boat ramps, access piers and a 2.5 acre parking lot. Each ramp will measure 50'• long and 13' wide and will be joined by a 5' wide wooden pier extending 50' into the creek. The center pier will measure 74' long. The design of the westernmost pier includes a 5' wide "L" head platform extending upstream 951. The easternmost pier* includes a 23' long "L" head extending down stream. A concrete apron approximately 25' wide by 100' long will join the actual ramps to the gravel.parking lot area which will provide about 100 parking spaces on the 2.5 acres of land. Abnormal amounts of runoff water that occur will be directed along the grassed swales within the parking lot and through an existing culvert system to the SB waters of Lawson Creek. The natural water depths within Lawson Creek and Lanes Branch are 5-8' deep on NWL. The creek is approximately 200' wide in the area of the proposed project. A small patch of Spartina cynosuroides measuring about 150 sq.ft. occurs along the project shoreline near the east end and will not be involved with the proposed construction activities. Historically, the project site is a former land fill for the City of New Bern and some of the old debris can.still be seen along the shore- line. The highground property is well vegetated with different types of natural grasses and other pioneering plant species. The project plans clearly show. that a.75' wide vegetated buffer zone will be maintained between the proposed parking lot and the water's edge. Although not specifically mentioned in the applocation, the City of New Bern will provide restroom facilities at the site by using permanently installed porterjohnsd as are currently being used at the existing boat ramp further in the.park. This project will be funded by monies made available from Craven County working in conjunction with the City of New Bern. 10. Anticipated impacts The City has told this office that the reason this project is being pursued is that the two existing ramps are overcrowded and shoaling .problems prohibit launching of boats during periods of low water. The presumption is that the two existing ramps on the Trent River will be closed to traffic.or will be used only by smaller boats dur- ing periods of high water. There appears to be a strong need for the launching facility that includes the four boat ramps on Lanes Branch bf Lawson Creek. Clearly, the natural water depths are deeper than at the existing boat ramps and the proposed parking lot area will i provide increased space for the users of the facility. The loca- tion of these ramps, and the expanded facility, is strategic in its location near the confluence of the Trent and Neuse Rivers where boat traffic will have the option in which direction to pursue the recreational activities. The actual construction will displace ap- proximately 1500 sq.ft..of open creek bottom land and 1500 sq.ft. of hillside. The 2.5 acre parking lot will eliminate the existing vegetation, but will replace the same area with marl. The 75' vege- tated buffer zone will do much to prevent direct runoff from enter- ing the adjacent waters of Lawson Creek. In addition, the natural slope of the land will cause all runoff water to pass across the gravel parking lot before being directed through the culvert system. CAMA REVIEW The project has been revieweed with reference to the LUP for the City of New Bern dated 1981. The project is considered consistent with that document where the highground property is classified as transitional and the surface waters of Lawson Creek as conservation. The City makes specific reference to supporting public waterfront ac- cess and the development of.the park on Lawson Creek. I r !,Submitted by James L. Mercer.
