Project Setting
The project site is located at the end of Fort Fisher Boulevard (US 421), at the southern end
of Pleasure Island, adjacent to the existing boat basin at Buzzard's Bay in New Hanover
County. To locate the project site from South College Road (NC Highway 132) and Carolina
Beach Road (NC Highway 421), travel south on Carolina Beach Road to the Carolina Beach
High Rise Bridge. Cross the AIWW towards the Town of Carolina Beach. At the second
stop light turn right onto Dow Road. Follow Dow Road to Kure Beach and at the stop sign
turn right onto Fort Fisher Boulevard. Continue on Fort Fisher Boulevard (US 421)
approximately 3.7 miles to the end of the pavement. The project site is the existing public
boating access area located at the end of the road.
The project site is located within a 4.80 acre tract owned by the US Department of Army.
The project site is located on tract a of land leased to the NCWRC and currently operates as
a public boat ramp and access facility. The applicant describes the areas located within the
lease boundary on Sheet C-1. A portion of the existing public access area is located
outside of the lease boundary. The applicant has designated the project boundary to
include all development areas located within and outside of the lease boundary. The
property has approximately 1,180 linear feet of shoreline frontage along Buzzard's Bay. The
project site has an average elevation of approximately 4 feet above Normal High Water
(NHW). The basin was created during World War II, most likely in conjunction with local
military activity and has been utilized for several decades as a public access area. The site
is heavy used by commercial fisherman, recreational fisherman and water sports
enthusiasts. The site has minimal highground vegetation consisting primarily of domestic
grasses and a small shrub thicket. The shoreline along the property to the east and west of
the parking area and boat basin is vegetated with Coastal Wetlands. Coastal Wetlands
species located on the project site include sparse Spike Grass (Distichlis spicata), Saltwort
(Salicorina spp.), Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina alternaflora), Sea oxeye (Borrichia
frutescens) and Salt Meadow Hay (Spartina patens). A sandy beach, exposed at periods of
low tide and approximately 50-100 feet wide, is located to the west of the basin. Existing
structures on the property include gravel drive isles, gravel vehicle and trailer parking, two
concrete boat launch areas, a breakwater wall, bulkhead, and a fixed dock. The shoreline
of the existing boat basin has been stabilized with bulkhead and a rock revetment stabilizes
the east side of the basin. The rock revetment continues south along the shoreline and
turns to the east stabilizing the south end of the parking area. A 228 square feet pocket of
Smooth Cordgrass has been delineated within the rock revetment along the east shore of
the basin. A manmade channel extends approximately 250 feet to the south of the basin.
Maintenance excavation has been conducted to a depth of --4 feet, most recently authorized
under CAMA General Permit #44984, issued on 6/5/2007. No existing drinking water or
wastewater facilities are available on the project site. No existing stormwater management
practices-exist on the project site and the majority of the stormwater runoff drains via sheet
flow to the existing waterbodies. The project site has approximately 180 feet of perimeter
bulkhead in the boat basin. The existing wooden bulkhead is deteriorated and sediment
has begun to naturally migrate and fill the basin. An additional section of deteriorating
bulkhead is located on the southwest boundary of the gravel parking area. The rock
revetment that stabilizes the remaining shoreline has settled and has been spread along the
shoreline by tidal and wind energy. An identifiable erosion escarpment is present along the
southern tip of the parking area where the rock revetment extends approximately 20-30
waterward of the Normal Water Level (NWL). The boat launch provides access for two (2)

vehicles, is approximately 15 feet wide and extends approximately 30 feet below Normal
High Water (NHW). The applicant states water depths within the center of the boat basin
are approximately -4.0 feet Normal Low Water (NLW), this is most likely a result of scouring
that has occurred by power loading of boats. The boat ramps are separated by a fixed dock
measuring approximately 4 feet wide by 40 feet long. The highground gravel parking area
is approximately 400 feet in length by 100 feet wide. Existing impervious coverage within
the project boundary is 56%. Adjacent riparian properties include the US Department of
Army Fort Buchanan Historic Battlegrounds and the Sunny Point Military Buffer.
The Wilmington-New Hanover County LUP classifies the upland areas of the project site as
Conservation and the wetland areas as Watershed Resource Protection Area. The waters
of the Buzzard's Bay are classified as SA by the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ). The
NC Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) has not designated this area of Buzzard's Bay and
the boat basin as Primary Nursery Area and the waters adjacent to the proposed project,
and approximately 150 waterward of the basin are closed to the harvesting of shellfish.
The areas immediately adjacent to the boat basin are closed however all other waters of
Buzzard's Bay are open to the harvesting of shellfish
Development Proposal
The North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission is proposing to fill the existing basin and
construct a new boat ramp facility on the property. Additionally the applicant is proposing to
dredge a channel leading to and from the new boat ramp. Redevelopment would include
the construction of a new boat ramp facility with two (2) launches, access pier, retaining
wall, bulkhead, sill/rock revetment, parking area and turn around. The proposed
redevelopment of the boat basin area would be located within the project boundary, and a
small portion would be located outside the lease boundary. The State Property Office has
authorized the development that will be located outside of the lease boundary (see
appendix E). The applicant is proposing to disturb approximately 1.8 acres within the
project boundary. The applicant proposes to fill approximately 12,000 square feet within the
existing boat basin and construct a new boat ramp area along the southern side of the
project site. The new boat ramps would require additional excavation below NHW
(approximately 1,500 cubic yards) for the construction of the ramps and the relocation of the
existing access channel. The proposed boat basin area adjacent to the new ramps would
extend to the west, measure approximately 75 feet wide by 100 feet long, and would make
a 90 degree turn to the south. The new channel would extend approximately 200 feet to the
south and measure 30 feet in width where it would meet the existing channel. The applicant
is proposing to excavate material to a depth of -4 feet NLW in the areas adjacent to the
ramps and within the access channel. The proposed boat ramp would provide two launch
ramps stabilized on the northern and southern sides by free standing bulkheads to prevent
shoaling within the launch area. The free standing bulkhead along the north side of the
ramps would be approximately 95 feet long and approximately 143 feet long on the south
side. The proposed boat ramps would measure approximately 16 feet in width and would
extend approximately 56 feet below NHW. The proposed new boat ramps, located above
NLW, would consist of a cast-in-place concrete slab and a cast-on-site concrete push slab
for the portion of the ramp below NLW. A ground-out floating dock separating the ramps
would measure approximately 8 feet wide by 60 feet long. Two six feet wide fixed docks
adjacent to the free standing bulkheads would provide additional staging area for boaters.
The fixed dock to the north would measure approximately 85 feet and length and
NCWRC Federal Point Boating Access Area
Field Investigation Report
Page 4
approximately 136 feet in length on the south side. The applicant is also proposing new
excavation in the location of the new boat ramps that would provide a staging area and
connect to the existing access channel. The filling of the existing basin would provide
additional upland area to improve parking and drive aisle conditions. The parking areas
would be constructed of concrete with a wooden observation deck on the east side and a
wooden access ramp from the parking area for canoes, kayaks, etc, on the west side.
Improvements to the west of the existing basin would include alteration of the shoreline by
filling the sandy beach area and grading to provide a more contiguous shoreline adjacent to
the parking area. Fill for the basin and parking improvements would be obtained from onsite
spoil material and any additional material would be obtained from the NCDOT Ferry Division
spoil disposal site adjacent to the Fort Fisher -Southport Ferry terminal. The entire parking
area would be elevated above NHW with a segmental block retaining wall for stabilization
along the perimeter. The existing rock revetment would be removed. The proposed
segmental block retaining wall would stabilize an actively eroding shoreline on the southern
tip of the project site. The wall would be constructed in conjunction with a riprap sill for
wetland enhancement. The proposed sill would be located approximately 50 feet waterward
of the proposed block wall and would be approximately 20 feet wide and approximately 200
feet in length, extending from the new boat ramp location along the shoreline to the east.
The applicant is proposing to seed the sill with oyster spat and plant approximately 6,690
square feet of low and high marsh species landward of the rock sill. The applicant is also
proposing to implement a stormwater management plan where none exist. Stormwater
improvements, would include the use of drop inlets, an approximately 4,500 square feet
constructed wetland and a vegetated filter. The proposed improvements located within the
project boundary on the existing site would result in a 5% reduction of impervious area
within the AEC.
Anticipated Impacts
The North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission proposal to fill the existing basin,
construct a new boat ramp facility on the property and to dredge a channel leading to and
from the new boat ramp would result in a total disturbed area of approximately 78,408
square feet. The proposed project would result in the redevelopment of the entire area
located within the project boundary. The proposed relocation of the boat launch area and
new channel excavation would result in approximately 1,500 cubic yards of material to be
removed from below NHW. The excavation would result in approximately 13,625 square
feet of shallow bottom disturbance. The proposed modifications to the existing site would
alter the location of NHW and impacts have been calculated based on existing site
conditions. The filling of the existing basin would result in approximately 11,909 square feet
of open water impact. Approximately 6,400 square feet of this open water impact would be
for associated highground parking areas. Approximately 5,509 square feet would be graded
and filled below the existing NHW contour to provide a sandy beach access area. A 228
square feet pocket of coastal wetlands located within the existing basin would be filled. An
additional 103 square feet of coastal wetlands would be filled in association with the
turnaround area for the new boat ramps. The proposed fixed and floating docks would
incorporate approximately 1,246 square feet of open water. The proposed free standing
bulkheads along each ramp would result in 238 linear feet of disturbance. The proposed
new boat launch area would result in approximately 2,240 of excavation and concrete fill
below NHW. The proposed concrete boat ramps would extend approximately 56 feet below
NHW. The applicant proposes to incorporate and fill approximately 4,000 square feet of
NCWRC Federal Point Boating Access Area

shallow bottom in conjunction with the rock sill. The removal of the existing rock revetment
and the proposed planted marsh landward of the sill would result in the disturbance of
approximately 6,690 square feet of shallow bottom. The applicant is proposing to install an
approximately 4,500 square feet constructed wetland as part of a stormwater management
plan.

FEDERAL POINT BOATING ACCESS AREA
SITE IMPROVEMENTS APR 0 8 2009
FORT FISHER, NC DCM WILMINGTON, INC
Background
The Federal Point Boating Access Area is located at the southern end of Pleasure Island in
New Hanover County. The site has a total area of approximately five acres and consists of an
upland basin, gravel parking area, concrete boat launch, and one fixed dock. Dilapidated
timber bulkheads line the upland basin, and a rock revetment currently provides shore
protection along the exposed sides of the site facing south and west.
The site is bounded by Buzzard's Bay ("The Basin") to the south, Fort Buchanan Historic
Battlegrounds to the north, and coastal marsh to the east and west. Access to the site is via
the existing US 421 extension.
This site is heavily used by residents, tourists, and recreational and commercial fishermen. It
is a popular location for swimming, kayaking, canoeing, and windsurfing. Over the years, the
condition of the site has gradually deteriorated. The timber bulkheads are failing and in need
of replacement. Parking is unstructured with cars parking on both sides of US 421 during
times of heavy use. The lack of defined areas for parking and drive aisles often creates
confusion and complications in the vicinity of the boat launch area. The majority of the site
floods during storms and unusually high tides, and it is not uncommon for day users to return
to their automobiles only to find them partially submerged and in need of a tow truck.
Project Description
This proposed project involves filling the existing boat ramp basin and relocating the boat
launch area to the south side of the site. These modifications will then provide additional
upland area to improve parking and drive aisle conditions. The entire parking area will be
elevated above the high tide elevation with the construction of segmental block walls around
the perimeter of the site. A wooden observation deck and kayak/canoe launch area will also
be provided.
En lieu of the existing marl/rock revetment structure located at the site, a "living shoreline"
concept will be implemented to combat further erosion while providing enhanced habitat and
water quality benefits. This will consist of a rock sill seeded with oyster spat, and the
establishment of low marsh, high marsh and native vegetation areas on the landward side of
the sill. This site feature will also provide an opportunity for education and outreach as the
planting of coastal wetland vegetation will be carried out by community volunteers.
A stormwater collection system will be installed to collect runoff from impervious areas, and a
constructed wetland for stormwater treatment will serve to treat stormwater at the site. The
constructed wetland will not only improve water quality conditions at the site, but also provide
additional educational opportunities for area visitors.
The new boat launch will consist of a cast-in-place concrete slab on a clean stone bed and
filter fabric above the Mean Low Water level, and a cast-on-site concrete push slab on a clean
stone bed and filter fabric below the Mean Low Water level. The new ramps will provide 4 ft.
of depth at Mean Low Water. Fixed wooden docks and vinyl sheetpile walls will line either
side of the boat launch area. A ground-out floating dock will be provided between the two
individual boat ramps that are proposed.
Dredging will be required to establish the navigation channel to the new boat launch.
Approximately 1,500 CY of material will be removed from below the Normal High Water Line
using mechanical dredging equipment. The material will be temporarily stored on site until
dry, at which point it will be used as structural fill material under the new parking area.
Additional fill material will be brought in from the nearby NCDOT Ferry Division's disposal area
located adjacent to the Fort Fisher - Southport Ferry Terminal. Both of the above mentioned
sources of fill material have been investigated for compatibility with the proposed site
improvements.
Filling of "Upland" Boat Basin
One important point in moving forward with this project as it pertains to regulatory permitting
is the fact that the existing boat basin is a man-made feature which was originally excavated
from upland area. The exact date of the basin's construction is not known, however it is
certain that the excavation took place at some time between the years of 1956 and 1981.
The below series of aerial photographs, provided by New Hanover County, demonstrate the
pre-excavation site which shows a contiguous shoreline running in a direction of northwest to
southeast, comparable to either side of the project site as observed today.
VJ E mu
DC=M WILMINGTON, NC:
"Living Shoreline" vs. Existing Rock Revetment
The existing site is armored with a rock revetment. As can be seen in the photos below, it
appears that the rocks have been displaced over time by either wave activity or currents. This
site can be classified as actively eroding.
The use of rock sills in combination with wetland plantings have been identified as one
potential alternative for shore protection at this site. The goal of the "living shoreline"
concept would be to effectively stabilize the new site in an aesthetically pleasing way, while
also providing increased habitat for marine life. The relatively "softer" approach would also
provide educational opportunities for local groups, such as the nearby North Carolina
Aquarium at Fort Fisher.

Environmental Impacts
This project proposes to fill approximately 11,909 SF (0.27 acres) of open water, which
pertains to the filling of the existing upland boat basin. While this is a significant amount of
area to be filled, it should be noted that the proposed project will be returning the site to its
more "natural" state, proposing a relatively contiguous shoreline with the adjacent areas to
the east and west.
DIVE
WILMINGTON,
The second location of coastal wetland impact can be best seen in the project drawings. This
impact is approximately 103 SF (.002 acres) in area and is associated with the construction
of the turn-around circle at the proposed boat ramp location. It should be noted that the
project proposes a retaining wall in this location to minimize impact to the greatest extent
possible. In total, the two locations of coastal wetland impact discussed herein equate to 331
SF (.008 acres).
This project proposes to mitigate the coastal wetland impact of 331 SF by planting
approximately 6,690 SF of low and high marsh in the lee of the proposed rock sill.
"Lease Boundary" and "Project Boundary"
The property on which the Federal Point Boating Access Area is situated is owned by the
Department of the Army. The land is leased to the State of North Carolina under a "license
agreement", a copy of which has been provided in Appendix C of this package. The State of
North Carolina in turn leases the five acre tract to the NC Wildlife Resources Commission.
The existing site occupies area outside of the "Lease Boundary". Likewise, the proposed site
improvements also include area outside of the said lease boundary. In order to account for
project impacts associated with development outside of the lease boundary, a "Project
Boundary" has been established as the limit of upland disturbance. The project boundary is
shown on the project drawings and is also reflected in some of the calculations of impervious
area, which are discussed below.
Within the existing upland basin, a small "pocket" wetland area of approximately 228 SF
(.005 acres) has established. The vegetation in this area consists of coastal wetlands, as
defined by the NC Division of Coastal Management. This would be one of two locations of
permanent coastal wetland impact associated with this project.

Impervious Area within the Area of Environmental Concern (AEC) DCM WILAMN'vi?Ok NC:
This project proposes to drastically change the location of Normal High Water, and thus also
alter the Area of Environmental Concern (AEC) as defined by the NC Division of Coastal
Management. Because the existing site and proposed site occupy area outside of the lease
boundary, impervious area calculations within the AEC have been presented for two different
scenarios.
First, the existing site is compared with the proposed site within the limits of the "Lease
Boundary". Exhibit Drawings 1 and 2 have been provided in Appendix K, which demonstrate
an existing impervious area of 31% within the lease boundary, and a proposed impervious
area of 29% within the lease boundary.
Secondly, impervious area for the existing and proposed site were evaluated within the
"Project Boundary", to account for areas outside of the lease boundary. Exhibit Drawing 3 has
been provided in Appendix K, which demonstrate an existing impervious area of 56% within
the existing AEC. For the proposed site, Exhibit Drawing 4 demonstrates the proposed 51% of
impervious area within the proposed AEC.
Stormwater Management
This project lies within the Cape Fear River Basin, and drains to "The Basin" (SA/HQW).
Currently, stormwater runoff generated from the gravel site flows via sheetf low to the adjacent
waterways and coastal wetlands.
The proposed project will implement a stormwater management plan. Runoff from all
impervious areas will be collected into drop inlets located throughout the site. From there,
runoff will be conveyed to a constructed wetland for stormwater treatment. From the
constructed wetland, stormwater will then pass through a 50 ft. vegetated filter prior to
reaching adjacent coastal wetlands.
This project will require a High-Density Stormwater Permit through the NC Division of Water
Quality. This submittal is planned for the near future.
Erosion & Sedimentation Control
The total disturbed area for the proposed site improvements is approximately 1.8 acres. All
disturbed areas will be stabilized by seeding and mulching upon completion of any phase of
construction activities. Sediment fence will be used as indicated on the plans to prevent
sediment pollution from leaving the site and entering the adjacent waterway. Inlet protection
measures will be placed at all catch basins. Stone rip rap will be used to stabilize all discharge
locations and prevent sediment loss due to scouring effects. A construction entrance to the
project site will be provided as shown on the plans to remove sediment from tires.
This project will require an Erosion & Sedimentation Control Permit through the NC Division of
Land Resources, Land Quality Section. This submittal is planned for the near future.
