Bridge to connect Havens Garden Park to the City of Washington Boating Access area.
City of Washington
c/o Phil Mobley
Beaufort County
Express Permit Review Program
Project setting
Bill Foreman with Coastal Science and Engineering, on behalf of the City of
Washington (c/o Phil Mobley), has requested the attached application be processed under
the Express Permit Review Program, for the construction of a pedestrian boardwalk.
The project site is located at Havens Garden (City Park and boat ramps) on Runyon Creek
off the Pamlico River at the NC 32 bridge crossing in the City of Washington in Beaufort
County, North Carolina. The NC Department of Transportation is in the processing of
replacing the NC 32 bridge under CAMA Major Permit No. 172-08 which was issued on 27
October 2008. The vertical clearance under the bridge will be increased with the new
bridge.
The site is a ±6.27 acre tract owned by the City of Washington and the property is
bisected by NC 32. Havens Garden has ±1,308' along the Pamlico River and ±436' along
Runyon Creek. The property has bulkhead along the river front, into Runyon Creek and up
to the NC 32 bridge. The area under the bridge is stabilized with riprap. The bulkhead
continues on the upstream side of the bridge on the landward side of an existing vegetated
wetland area. Additional development on the Pamlico River side of the site includes a
shelter, paved parking area, playground area, and a fishing pier. The Runyon Creek
portion of the park includes the 2 boat ramps and 2 access piers, as well as a gravel
parking area. The park is vegetated with a maintained lawn, a few hardwoods trees,
shrubs, and a small vegetated wetland area (at the north end of the site between the
bridge and the boat ramps). The wetland area is vegetated with a variety of wetland plants
including but not limited to Pontederia cordata (pickerelweed), Carex spy., several small
Cypress trees, and a very small area of Scirpus spp. that abuts the boat ramp.
The northern (upstream) end of the property on Runyon Creek abuts a commercial
metal working business with a bulkhead and pier. The western (upstream) end of the park
terminates at the Carolina Coastal Railway.
The Pamlico River and Runyon Creek are both classified SC-NSW by the
Environmental Management Commission and are closed to shellfishing. The Pamlico
River at this location is designated as Coastal Waters while Runyon Creek is designated
as Inland Waters by the Division of Marine Fisheries and the NC Wildlife Resources
Commission. There is no submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) present in the project area.
Project description
The applicant proposes to construct a 6' wide by ±420' long wooden boardwalk
under the new NC 32 bridge to connect the river front side of the park to the boat ramp
area. At present, the public must cross NC 32 to go from the park to the boat ramp area.
The boardwalk will begin at the existing bulkhead on the downstream side of the bridge
and project ±70' out into Runyon Creek angling upstream toward the new bridge. A 4' by
City of Washington
c/o Phil Mobley
Beaufort County
Page Two
Express Permit Review Program
23' bump out platform area is proposed on this section of boardwalk to provide fishing
access. The boardwalk will then turn at a right angle upstream and under the newly
constructed bridge for a distance of ±110'. The boardwalk will be ramped down in the area
under the bridge for a walking deck height of 1.95' above the normal water level (NWL).
This will allow for maximum head room ranging from 7.5 at the downstream side to 9.5' at
the upstream side of the bridge as measured from the deck surface to the bottom of the
bridge girders.
The boardwalk will turn back towards the shore at a right angle and parallel to the
new bridge for a distance of ±90'. A second 4' by 25' bump out platform area is proposed
on this section of boardwalk to provide fishing access. An upstream angle is proposed in
the boardwalk running parallel to the shore for a distance of ±55'. A third 4' by 27' bump
out platform area is proposed on this section of boardwalk to provide fishing access. The
boardwalk will then make a right angle towards shore and continue another ±60' over an
area of vegetated wetlands to abut highground at the existing bulkhead. Because the
height of the boardwalk will be ±3' above the ground at this location, steps will provide
access, as well as a 6' wide by 48' long handicap accessible ramp running parallel to the
bulkhead on the upland side. The boardwalk section over the wetland area will be
elevated a minimum of 36" as measured from the wetland substrate to the bottom of the
stringer. Both sides of the proposed boardwalk will be railed at a height of 42" for safety
and to prevent boat mooring along the open water side of the boardwalk.
The proposed alignment of the boardwalk will project ±40' into Runyon Creek which
is ±266' wide at this point. This value is within the 66.5' that would be % the width of the
waterbody. The boardwalk would also be outside the traditional navigation channel in
Runyon Creek. The boardwalk as configured will cordon off ±3,300 ft2 of Public Trust
Area. With the exception of the 6' wide access that will ramp down at both ends, no
upland development is proposed for this site at this time.
Anticipated impacts
The project as proposed will result in the shading of ±2,262 ft2 of creek bottom
associated with the boardwalk installation. Approximately ±360 ft2 of vegetated wetlands
will be shaded by the proposed boardwalk. The construction of ramps and steps at both
ends will result in ±461 ft2 of upland disturbance. No new impervious surface is proposed
with this project. The project will result in localized turbidity as a result of the construction
activities.

EXISTING CONDITIONS
The portion of the property north of Highway 32 is currently used as a boat launching
facility with 2 ramps and a pier. There is little vegetation in this area other than a few
large pine trees, some shrubs and lawn grass. The property south of Highway 32 is
Havens Gardens, a public park with playground, picnic area and pier. This parcel has
approximately 10 large trees, shrubs planted along the road front, and mostly covered in
lawn grass. A portion of the shoreline of both parks is stabilized by bulkheads.
A small pocket of non-tidal wetlands is located just north of the Highway 32 Bridge. The
bottom of the decking will be constructed at a minimum of 36 inches above the substrate
of the wetlands.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
A small portion of both ends of the walkway will be constructed inside zone 1 of the
Pamlico/Tar Buffer (see sheet 3). The walkway will be timber decking and is considered
pervious by Division of Water Quality.
METHODS OF CONSTRUCTION
Walkway components will be of heavy timber construction. Walkway installation will be
by conventional marine construction methods with floating barge and crane. This project
will be coordinated with NCDOT project of replacement of the Highway 32 Bridge over
Runyon Creek. Once the current bridge is demolished, the pilings for the walkway under
the proposed bridge will be driven. When the new bridge is completed, the remainder of
the walkway will be constructed including pilings, bent caps, stringers, decking, railings
and lighting.
PROJECT SCHEDULE
The proposed project schedule is dependent on the NCDOT project. The piles for the
walkway under the bridge will be driven during construction of the NCDOT Bridge
Replacement. This portion of the project will take approximately 1 week to complete.
Pedestrian Walkway at Runyon Creek May 22, 2009
Major CAMA Permit Application - Narrative Page 2 of 3
The remainder of the walkway will be constructed as funding becomes available. This
portion will take approximately 2 months to complete. Total construction is not expected
to exceed 30 days from end of NCDOT project completion. The schedule of the NCDOT
project does not allow any work in the water until after June 16'h, 2009.
COMPLIANCE WITH CITY OF WASHINGTON ZONING AND CAMA LAND USE PLAN
The property is within the planning jurisdiction of the City of Washington. Construction
will be consistent with the current zoning. The site is classified "Conservation" by the City
of Washington CAMA Land Use Plan. A permitted use under conservation includes
recreational open space with support accessory. The proposed construction will be
classified as a support accessory because it is connecting two parks.
COMPLIANCE WITH THE N. C. ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT
The project will be paid for with public funds. There is no work proposed on the site that
will require review under the N. C. Environmental Policy Act.

PROJECT NARRATIVE
INTRODUCTION
The proposed project is located on City of Washington property known as Havens
Gardens on the north shore of the Pamlico River where Highway 32 crosses Runyon
Creek in Washington, Beaufort County, North Carolina. The applicant proposes to
construct a new pedestrian walkway for public use as a fishing platform, and for
transporting pedestrians safely from the boat ramp area to the parking area in Havens
Gardens. The pedestrian walkway will be constructed beneath the NCDOT proposed
Highway 32 Bridge replacement. The site can be reached by going east on N.C.
Highway 32 to Havens Gardens at Runyon Creek. The site consists of two separate
parcels separated by Highway 32, both owned by the City of Washington.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project consists of the following element:
• Construction of a handicap accessible pedestrian walkway with fishing platforms
under the proposed Highway 32 Bridge. The walkway is 6' wide by
approximately 420' long with 3 fishing platforms that are 10' wide with lengths of
23', 25' and 27'. The walkway will be of pile supported heavy timber
construction. Railings will be installed on both sides the entire length of the
walkway for safety, and to prevent docking of boats. Due to the height of the
structure over the wetlands, a ramp will be constructed at the north end of the
walkway to allow safe handicap accessibility. Stairs will also be constructed at
the north end to allow quicker access. At the south end, the walkway will ramp
down to natural grade.

Subject: CAMA Land Use Plan Consistency
Dear Mr. Moye,
Renovation Havens Gardens Complex
Washington, NC
This letter is being written to serve as a compliance letter to be used in conjunction with
the Haven Gardens Renovation project and the newly proposed pedestrian walkway to be
constructed under the Runyon Creek Bridge connecting the City of Washington with
Washington Park via NC 32. The North Carolina Department of Transportation has
already submitted their documentation in compliance with the NC Environmental Policy
Act of 1971 for the replacement of bridge #103 (NC DOT Project Number B-4019) over
Runyon Creek. The City of Washington has entered into a contract to have the pilings
installed at the same time the Runyon Creek Bridge is being constructed. Thus, the
pedestrian walkway connecting the Havens Garden property to the boat launch facility
should have a minimum effect on the total bridge replacement project.
In addition, because of the new alignment of the Runyon Creek Bridge on the Havens
Garden city property necessitated the evaluation of the existing park facilities for new
improvements to be constructed on the subject property. We are in the process of
obtaining all of the required permits to begin construction in the latter part of this year.
The City of Washington's CAMA Core Land Use Plan was adopted by City Council on
August 27, 2007 and Certified by the Coastal Resources Commission on November 30,
2007, and contained therein Section V., Subsection 6. a Recreation component, which list
Haven Garden as a major shoreline access area for our jurisdiction. In addition, the
CAMA Future Land Use classification list Havens Garden as a "Conservation "area.
Therefore, the City of Washington finds that the two proposed projects: the pedestrian
102 E. Second St. • Telephone [phone] TDD 1.800.735-2962 • Fax [phone]
walkway under the replacement bridge at Runyon Creek and the renovation of the
existing park facilities, are not inconsistent with the adopted 2007 CAMA Core Land Use
Plan for the City of Washington.
In closing, after your review should you have any questions please direct those inquiries
to our attention. We look forward to the completion of another successful project in our
jurisdiction.
Best regards,

Bobby E Roberson, Director
Planning and Development
