9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The project site is located on one
of the many man-made canals in Fairfield Harbour
Subdivision, near the end of SR 1600, about 5 miles
southeast of New Bern, on the Neuse River, in Craven County.
The project area involves 8 individually owned home sites
listed as Lots #80 through #87, in Section 5, situated along
the back end of the horseshoe shaped canal off Caracara
Drive, between Schooner and Cutlass Courts. Attached is a
list of the respective lot owners involved with this
maintenance excavation project. This section of Fairfield
was originally excavated in the 1960's as part of the
Jamaica section in Treasure Cove. The series of interior
canals was excavated from what was then Spring Creek, a
tributary of Northwest Creek, just off the Neuse River.
Reviewers of this report may recall last month that the
Division of Coastal Management processed another permit
request for Neuse Realty, Inc., involving the maintenance
excavation of wetlands adjacent to the canal properties
adjoining Lots #60, #61, #62 and #63, in Fairfield Harbour.
Residential development in Fairfield Harbour has become more
active over the past 5 years than any time before. For many
years prior to the new growth and development, individual
lots remained, for the most part, unattended and as in the
case of these ,8 lots, the sloping highground property eroded
into the bulkheaded canal causing perched elevations around
the edge. Subsequent growth of marsh and wetlands
vegetation has occurred.
At this time, the applicant proposes to maintenance excavate
the dead-end section of the canal measuring 200' long x 60'
wide. The prevailing water depths are -6' NWL. The
workplat shows a fringe of wetlands bordering the canal. It
measures approximately 250' long by an average of 8' wide.
The wetlands are classified as a high, irregularly flooded
marsh with a mixture of the following species; saw grass,
sea lavender, salt meadow hay, salt bushes, swamp rose,
Walters millet, Johnson's grass, hibiscus, marsh pink,
goldenrod, pennywort, alligator weed, cypress and maple.
The proposed maintenance excavation will generate
approximately 500 cu. yds. of silty sand as the bottom
material is removed from close to the existing bulkhead.
The applicant has designated 3 separate spoil disposal sites
around the canal. Each highground site will be diked with
an earthen berm and set 20' or more away from the bulkhead.
The inland surface waters of Northeast Creek, Spring Creek
and the interior canal system are classified 'SC'. Although
no oysters of clams exist in the canals, the surface waters
are closed to harvesting of shellfish.

10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The narrow fringe of wetlands
functions as a shoreline stabilizer between the existing
bulkhead and the open waters of the canal. A majority of
these irregularly flooded wetlands is elevated above the NWL
and contributes little habitat or production to the canal
ecology. The proposed maintenance excavation will displace
approximately 2,000 sq. ft. of mixed wetlands, with
additional excavation taking place below the NWL. Adequate
spoil containment measures will be necessary to prevent the
return of dredged spoil to the surface waters of the canal.
