MAY z s 2009 DENR - WATER QUALITY WETLANDS AND STORMINATER BRANCH Our firm is processing this application on behalf of Faison-Gaston Gateway LLC. This application for a twenty-six slip commercial residential community dock which is based on Duke Energy and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission guidelines. The community dock is to be located on Lake Wylie just north of the I-85 Bridge in Mt. Holly, Gaston County, North Carolina. The purpose of this facility is to provide twenty-six day docks providing access to Lake Wylie for the residents of Waters Edge, a residential development. Approximately 1520 CY of material will be excavated to provide boating access to the docks. The community docks will be configured in accordance with the enclosed drawings. The docks will be commercial quality utilizing a galvanized steel truss system, decked with composite decking and floated using poly-encapsulated floatation. The dock will be moored in place using telescopic steel pilings. We have enclosed a project summary, drawings and maps pertinent to this project. We request that your agency review the enclosed plan and advise our firm of any regulatory concerns, which you may have relative to this application. We look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience. Sincerely, SKIPJACK MARINE DEVELOPMENT E. Carey Ayres, P.E. WATER'S EDGE RESIDENTIAL MARINA PROJECT SUMMARY Faison-Gaston Gateway LLC, the applicant, is proposing the installation of a 26 slip residential marina to serve the residents of their Water's Edge, 285 residential town home community located adjacent to Lake Wylie on approximately 18.7 acres in Gaston County, North Carolina. Of the approximately 1104.1 feet of eligible shoreline, approximately 503.73 feet or 45% will be preserved. A 100' buffer will remain in place along the reservoir. A pedestrian walkway and 5 dedicated parking spaces will provide access to the facility. The proposed marina project consists of one dock cluster with 26 slips, an associated boardwalk/fixed pier and loading ramp. The docks will be accessed via a land bridge (pier) constructed of a pressure treated wood frame structure with TREX decking. An aluminum ramp will be used to transition from this structure to the floating docks. The floating docks will be constructed of a commercial quality hot dipped galvanized angle braced steel truss system, with encapsulated floatation billets. The marina will accommodate 26 watercraft and is configured as follows: • Thirteen (13) double loaded 24'X24'berths to accommodate twenty six (26) boats • Eight foot wide main walkways • Four foot wide finger piers • Galvanized steel telescopic piles Approximately 1,520 CY of material will be dredged to provide boating access to the marina. This project is shown on the attached drawings.
