8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to excavate a new canal and basin system,
construct docking for 50 boats fora 50-lot planned residential subdivision.
Project Setting
The site of the proposed development is a 171-acre tract located on the west side of highway NC 345,
in the Skyco community, on Roanoke Island, Dare County and adjacent to the Croatan Sound. The
property has an area of approximately 25 acres of uplands and the remainder of the property is a
Juncus roemerianus salt marsh wetland that reaches the Croatan Sound to the west. The upland area is
currently used as a spoil site for a project the NC Division of Water Resources initiated which was
authorized by CAMA Major Permit #106-04. There is an earthen dike, approximately 15 feet in
elevation, along the edge of the uplands containing sandy spoil material. The applicant is in the
process of removing the spoil material and eventually dismantling the dike.
The salt marsh is approximately 1,200 feet wide at its narrowest point and occupies approximately 146
acres of the property. There are three existing mosquito canals on the property that were dug almost to
the upland area. The existing canals are approximately 40 feet wide with water depths ranging from 5
feet to 7 feet in the center and 1 foot to 3 feet near shore. A ditch system with water depths of -1 to -3
feet located off the southern most canal follows along the southern side of the upland area but is not
part of this project.
The adjacent riparian property to the south of the property is a tract of salt marsh with upland located
on the east side near the State highway. The adjacent riparian property to the north is a private
residence with a canal and shoreline riparian adjacent to Ashbey Harbor on the Croatan Sound.
The waters of the Croatan Sound in this area are classified as SA by the Division of Environmental
Management and are open to shellfish taking.
Development Proposal
The applicant proposes to create a 50-lot, single-family residential subdivision with direct water access
and 50 boat moorings within a new canal/basin area. In order to provide direct water access, the
applicant proposes to connect the three existing mosquito canals to the upland area by excavation. The
northern most canal cut is approximately 40 feet wide and 40 feet long and impacts approximately
1,400 square feet (sf) of Coastal Wetlands (CW). The middle canal cut is approximately 40 feet wide
and 136 feet long and impacts approximately 3,800 sf of CW. The proposed southern canal cut is a
34-foot wide and 100-foot long area that impacts approximately 3,330 sf of CW. The proposed final
depth of the cuts is -5 feet below Normal Water Level (NWL). The main canal/basin area that will
function as a private residential marina for 50 boats will be horseshoe shaped, dug out of uplands and
follow the edge of the adjacent wetland areas. The proposed main canal will be approximately 3,052
feet long, an average of 46 feet wide with a water depth of -5 feet at NWL and will connect to each of
the three existing mosquito canals with the new cuts.
r..

Field Investigation Report: Skyco Development Company, LLC

The applicant proposes to excavate the main canal first and cut connections to the existing canals to
minimize short term turbidity.
In order to provide docking for each of the SO lots, the applicant proposes to construct a 6-foot wide
and 3,500-foot long shoreline dock in the main canal adjacent to the upland area and along the north
shoreline of the north canal. The applicant proposes to construct a 6-foot wide and 888-foot long
wooden boardwalk to connect the dock on the main canal with the entrance to the subdivision.
The applicant indicates that the maximum boat size could be 40 feet with a typical size of 25 feet.
The upland development associated with the proposed subdivision consists of 78,158 sf of asphalt
roadway and 7,491 sf of paved walkway, which are part of a total area disturbance of approximately
24.9 acres.
Anticipated Impacts
The proposed cuts for the three existing canals will result in the excavation of approximately 8,530 sf
~___ ____
of CW and Estuarine Shoreline (ES) Areas of Environmental oncern an sf of~uplan~lc s
located with the ES AEC. The construction of the main canal will result in the excavation of
approximately 147,515 square feet of uplands of which approximately 4,800 sf are located within the
ES AEC at the north canal. The connect cuts for the three existing canals will result in approximately
1,825 cubic yards of material being removed from an elevation below NWL. The cut for the main
canal will result in approximately 27,318 cubic yards of material being removed from an elevation
below NWL.
All excavated material will be stored on site and mixed with the existing soils on site.
The proposed 6-foot wide residential marina dock will shade 21,000 sf of Public Trust Area (PTA) and
Estuarine Waters (EW) AECs that are created by the excavation of main canal. The proposed walkway
connecting the marina to the entrance will shade approximately 5,128 sf of CW AEC and 200 sf of
uplands within the ES AEC. Approximately 250 sf of the CW shaded by this walkway are also located
within the ES AEC.
Approximately 391,518 sf of upland area will be disturbed and will be located within the ES AEC once
....the main canal. is connected to the existing canals.
This development proposal does not include the construction of any single-family dwellings; however,
it is anticipated that 50 septic drain fields, that is one for each house, will be installed on this property.
Boating access will be enhanced and more boating activity will occur.
The proposal, which includes three connections to Croatan Sound, will more likely have better water
exchange by virtue of the multiple connections than a proposal with one connection.

Field Investigation Report: Skyco Development Company, LLC

Temporary water turbidity should occur during construction.
The increase of boat traffic in the area will affect the existing canal shoreline by wake erosion.
The project will result in an increase of jurisdictional PTA and EW AECs of 147,515 sf and an
increase of jurisdictional ES AEC of approximately 783,036 sf.

Existing Conditions
The subject property is a 171 aae tract located on the Croatan Sound and is accessible by
NC345 in Skyco, on Roanoke Island, Dare County, North Carolina. The project area
(proposed developmerrt area) is a 33.6 acre section within the subject tract Sheet 1 depicts
the entire tract and Sheet 2 #ocuses on the proposed development area. Identified on Sheet
1 are three canals/aeeks that have historicaNy been permitted to be dredged and provide a
consistent water depth of -5 ft, based on normal water level {nwi). For the purpose of this
application package, the canals are referred to as Existing Canal A, B and C respectively.
The upland portion ~ the property has been the location of a NC Division of Water
Resources (DWR) dredge spoil retention location for State and Federal navigation channels
in ShaNowbag Bay and Roanoke Sound. The spoil material that has been pumped and
dewatered on site iS sand dominated. A wetland defrneation of the site, performed by Quible
8~ Associates, P.C. (Quible) has been confirmed by the US Army Corps of Engineers
(USAGE) on 3-29-04. The majority of the Section 404 wetlands on the subject tract are
coastal wetlands as identified by NC Division of Coastal Management.
Proposed Work
The project area is planned to be a future single family residerrtial developmer, with 50
ind"nridual lots. Each lot is planned to have an individual on-site septic treatrnent system and
will be served potable water from the Dare County Water Distribution System.
The goal of the project is to excavate an upland canal tt>~ would be excavated from existing
non~vetlands down to a water depth of -5 ft, based on nwl. The man made canal will be
connected to Existing Canal A, B and C. The connections to the existing canals will occur
after the canplete excavation of the upland canal to minimize the effects of short term
turbidity to the public trust The connection to the Existing Canals will irnolve excavation
impacts to 8,523 sq.ft. of c~aastat wetlands (Channel A impacts 1,399 sq.ft., Channel B
impacts 3,794 sq. ft., Channel C unpacts 3,330 sq.ft.). The width of the canal connections
through wetlands will be 40 ft for Canal A and B, and 34 ft for Canal C. This conforms to the
existing width of the existinng canals.
The proposed upland canal will be 3,052 ft kx>tg and will range from 43 ft wide to 63 ft wide.
The average width wiN be 46 ft, however, the ends of the canals will be wider (up to 63 ft).
There is no proposed buNkheading assoaated with the canals. The side slopes are proposed
to be graded at a 1:1 slope and vegetated down to the water line for stabilization. All
excavation is proposed by mechan'~cat means and excavated material will be stockpiled on
upland portions of the property. When dried, the excavated material will be incorporated into
the upland grading plan. The average e~vation for uplands in the project area will be 7 to 8 ft
above nwl. The griming plan wiN ditrct any storrrnnrater runoff away from the canals and
wetlands and towards the interior of the {xoperty.

September 20, 2006
As depicted on Sheets 1 and 2, there are 50 private mooring areas proposed (1 slip per lot).
The individual lot owners will permit the exact mooring location and associated mooring
pilingsrf necessary.
Environmental impacts assoaated with the project inducting wetland impacts have been
minimized to the fullest extent possible to achieve the project's objective of providing lots with
water access to the area sounds, estuaries and Atlantic Ocean. Mfigation for impacts to
wetlands will be proposed to US Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) as required. We will
worlk with USAGE to establish a compensatory mitigation plan that will achieve the federal
requirement of offsetting impacts. Mitigation may indude on-site creation and/or restoration
or a contribution to a wetland mitigation organization such as NC Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP).
As requested, NC Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) performed a shellfish resource
irnestigation for the surface waters adjacent to the subject property. Included with this CAMA
Major Application Package is a letter from Greg Allen, DMF that states that there are no
knovm harvestable shellfish areas in the vidnity of the subject property. Sampling techniques
and sampling data are incuded in the information provided by DMF.
A flushing modeUanalysis of the proposed canal creation scenario has been performed by
ENSR. The objective of the model was to evaluate daily flushing and water quality as it
pertains to the projectt as proposed. A copy and discussion of the flushing analysis is being
submitted as a component aF the CAMA Major Application Package. The model results
pertain to worst-case conditions with summertime prevailing southvvest winds where flushing
would tend to be the worst Using conservative parameters, the daily flushing rate would be
approximately 8% with a residence time in the canals being less than 28 days.
The total disturbed area will be approximately 24.9 acres. This will be addressed in a Soil
Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan (SESCP) submitted to NC Division of Land Quality
(NCDLQ). As depicted on CAMA Sheets 1-3, there arse 6 ft wide pile supported walkways
around the edge of the canals and along the near of lots 39-50 (4,388 t~. The intent of the
walkways is to serve as a dodk system to provide water access for the development lot
owners. The walkway will ovefiang the edge of the upland created canals so that boats can
be moored in a side-to position adjacent to the walkways.

On July 19, 2006 North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF) staff Greg Allen, Joe Cox and Ginger
Wright completed a biological investigation for oysters in creeks adjacent to property parcel # 025881000
located on the westside of Roanoke Island south of Ashbee Harbor. NCDMF staff sampled Howard Creek,
Charles Creek , an unnamed creek and the adjacent area in the Croatan Sound approximately 500 feet from the
shoreline with patent tongs. Samples comprised of taking patent tong bottom samples, one squaze meter each,
and sorting through the sediment recording oysters. Samples included l4 from Howards Creek, 12 from
unnamed creek and 23 from Charles Creek with a total of 50 samples taken. One oyster shell consisting of 3
spat located at the mouth of Charles Creek were the only oysters found. Sample compositions are attached with
sample numbers 1-13 from the unnamed creek, 14-26 from Howard Creek, and 27-50 from Charles Creek.
Results from the current NCDMF biological investigation along with 2005 NCDMF shellfish mapping data,
concluded there is no known harvestable shellfish area in waters within 500 feet of the parcel on land sampled.
The nearest known harvestable shellfish area is located 1.8 miles south to Baum Creek on the southwest side of
Roanoke Island.
