PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant, T. A. Bramble, proposes to dredge an existing man-made canal and access channel, construct a bulkhead along the Albemarle Sound and canal, place riprap along the Sound and the entrance of the canal, construct a walkway/dock/foot bridge around the existing basin, and install mooring pilings to delineate five boat slips. T. A. Bramble July14, 2006 Page 2 PROJECT SITE DESCRIPTION The applicant's property is located off Tower Lane, a recently paved street, adjacent to the water tower on Colington Road, in Dare County. The road is also the entrance to Carlyle on the Sound, a newly platted 73 lot residential subdivision. Access to the property is via a dirt road off Shingle Landing Road within the subdivision. While the formal address of the property is listed as 200 Tower Road, recent changes to the road system have not been addressed by Dare County at this time. Structures on the property include a single-family dwelling, a small pile supported storage building, a gravity feed septic system, 375' of bulkhead, and a small dock. Carlyle on the Sound was purchased and developed from three parcels, part of which was divided out of the Bramble tract. Currently the Bramble tract consists of 39.4 acres fronting on the Albemarle Sound and a small unnamed canal off of the Sound. The shoreline of the property begins at the southeast corner following along the Albemarle Sound for approximately 1,682', curving around a peninsula and running in an easterly direction up the canal approximately 852' to its approximate end through a Coastal Wetland, and back around in a westerly direction for approximately 835' along the northern bank of the canal, terminating at a bulkhead in Colington Harbour Subdivision, at the northwest corner at the mouth of the canal. The average depth in -the canal is approximately 2' below NWL. A small amount of submerged aquatic vegetation (widgeon grass and milfoil) was found within the basin at the mouth of the canal. The canal formed by the tributary is completely within the Bramble property running in an east to west alignment forming a peninsula on the south side of the tract abutting the Albemarle Sound. The north side of the Bramble property abuts the Carlyle on the Sound. Mr. Bramble's property has a total of approximately 3,500 linear feet of estuarine shoreline along the Albemarle Sound and the canal, with 375' of existing bulkhead along the Sound adjacent to an existing residence. No other shoreline control structures are located on the applicant's property. Beginning at the mouth of the canal and traveling along the shoreline in an easterly direction, along the sound, there is evidence of extensive erosion forming a one to two-foot escarpment that drops from a heavily vegetated shoreline to a sandy beach littered with downed trees. Upland vegetation includes, but is not limited to, loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), live oak (Quercus virginiana), diamond leaf oak (Quercus laurifolia), red bay (Persea borbonia), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), catbrier (Smilax glauca), wax myrtle (Myrica. cerifera), groundsel tree (Baccharis haliinifolia), switch cane (Arundinaria gigantea), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), and false nettle (Boehrneria cylindrical). The shoreline along the canal is primarily wooded with some Coastal and Section 404 Wetlands intermixed. The northwest end of the canal shoreline opens into a Coastal Wetland that transitions to a high ground berm along the canals edge created from dredge spoil prior to the implementation of regulations limiting the placement of such spoil material. Along the south side of the canal the shoreline transitions from a high ground berm to a low area that forms clear hydrological connection from the canal to a Coastal Wetland. Located on the south side of the peninsula this Coastal Wetland area opens, through a less well-defined connection, to the Albemarle Sound. T. A. Bramble July 14, 2006 Page 3 The center of the peninsula and the eastern section of the property located on the east side of the access to the property is vegetated with a variety of Coastal and Section 404 Wetland vegetation including, but not limited to, saltgrass (Distichlis spicata), salt meadow hay (Spartina patens), cattail (Typha spp.), giant cord grass (Spartina cynosuroides), sawgrass (Cladium janiaicense), bulrush (Scirpus spp.), black needlerush (Juncus roemerianus), soft rush (Juncus effusus), sedge (Carex spp.), spikerush (Eleocaris spp.), and sea oxeye (Borrichia frutescens). See the enclosed site plan for wetland locations. The Albemarle Sound, and its tributaries adjacent to the applicant's property are classified as coastal waters by agreement between the Marine Fisheries Commission and Wildlife Resource Commission. The Division of Environmental Management's water quality classification for Albemarle Sound, at the location in question, is SA (shell fishing). Additional review indicates that there are no unusual geological formations associated with the applicant's property. While several archeological sites have been identified on Colington Island, staff does not know of any identified sites within the immediate vicinity of the applicant's property. Previous permits issued for development on the property include: 1) USACE Nationwide #14 Action ID 2005510744 on April 19, 2005, 2) NCDWQ Water Quality Certification #05-0431 on April 11, 2005, and, 3) NC DCM CAMA Major Permit #193-89 on October 24, 1989. Copies of the referenced permits are enclosed in the application packet. CAMA Major Permit #193-89 was issued for the construction of a bulkhead and dredging part of the canal and a section of channel. Originally the dredge portion of the permit included a 100' x 50' area within the basin and 450' of channel. The permit was modified later to include additional dredging totaling 650' (not including the basin). PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant Toby Bramble proposes to dredge 880' of existing channel and canal, excavate high ground to create two boat slips and set pilings for three additional slips within the existing basin, construct a walkway and pedestrian bridge over a small tributary at the end of the canal, and bulkhead, riprap breakwater the entire shoreline of his property. An existing dock located within the basin will be removed. The following is a complete breakdown of the proposed development activity on the Bramble property: I. SHORELINE STABILIAZATION The applicant has approximately 3,500 linear feet of shoreline along the Albemarle Sound and a canal, most of which will be stabilized with the following methods. a. Riprap: Three sections of shoreline are designated as having riprap. 1) The first begins on the southeast corner along the Albemarle Sound the applicant proposes to install 388' linear feet (LF) of rock riprap with an 8' base width. According to the drawings approximately 5' of the base will be placed below normal water level (NWL). T. A. Bramble July 14, 2006 Page 4 Riprap Fill: 388' x 3' = 1,164sf High Ground Fill 388' x 5' = 1,940sf Shallow Bottom/ Estuarine Water Fill 2) The second location being proposed is around a small section of Coastal Wetlands along the Sound on the south side of the peninsula waterward of the proposed bulkhead. A small patch of Juncus and a large live oak are being eroded, and the applicant would like to preserve them by placing 73' of riprap around the vegetation. The riprap will be placed at NWL and extend 8' waterward of NWL. Riprap Fill: 73' x 8' = 484sf Shallow Bottom/ Estuarine Water Fill 3) The third location is a 116' section beginning at the northeast corner of the shoreline near the mouth of the canal, adjacent to Colington Harbour Subdivision. The riprap will have a base width of 8' with approximately 5' of the base below NWL. This section will tie into an existing bulkhead at Colington Harbour. Riprap Fill: 116' x 3' = 348sf High Ground Fill 116' x 5' = 580sf Shallow Bottom/Estuarine Water Fill Total impacts from riprap fill from 1,2,and 3 above are as follows: 1,512sf High Ground Fill 3,004sf Shallow Bottom/Estuarine Water Fill b. Bulkhead: Approximately 1,863' of the applicant's shoreline would be bulkheaded under the proposal submitted. The total length will comprise of four sections of vinyl bulkhead as follows. 1) The first section of bulkhead being proposed will begin with a 10' return wall at the end of the first section of riprap along the Albemarle Sound and extend 406' and tie into the east side of the existing 357' bulkhead in front of the residence and will be constructed at NWL and landward of a small area of Coastal Wetlands. High ground disturbance to install tiebacks and grade associated backfill is addressed on page 8. 2) The second section will be 673' long and begin on the west side of the existing bulkhead on the Sound, and follow along the shoreline to the west, around the mouth of the canal and terminate at a 75' opening that connects to an adjacent Coastal Wetland. The proposed bulkhead will be constructed at NWL along the mouth of, and in the canal, and an average 2' waterward of NWL for the whole alignment. No backfill is proposed in conjunction with the interior of the canal along this alignment. T. A. Bramble July 14, 2006 Page 5 The area along the Sound, as previously noted, has sustained severe erosion over the past several years resulting in the felling of numerous trees along the shoreline that must be removed prior to installing the proposed bulkhead. This section of bulkhead, as proposed, will cross two small openings approximately 8' and 10' wide where overwash also feeds the adjacent Coastal Wetland noted above. This opening provides minimal hydrology during heavy (non-tropical) storm events. The primary hydrological connection is on the north side of the peninsula in the canal. There are two areas noted on the plans as Reclamation Area #1 and Reclamation Area #2 in and adjacent to the Sound. The bulkhead along Reclamation Area 41 will be an average of approximately 24.93' waterward of NWL for a distance of 250', and the average water depth within the fill area is 0.5'. The bulkhead along Reclamation Area #2 will be an average of approximately 10' waterward of NWL for a distance of 200', and the average water depth within the fill area is 0.5'. 250' x 24.93' = 6,233sf Shallow Bottom/Estuarine & Public Trust Water 200' x 9.9' = 1,980sf Shallow Bottom/Estuarine & Public Trust Water Fill: 8,213sf Shallow Bottom/Estuarine & Public Trust Water It is anticipated that there will be approximately 18,630sf of high ground disturbance in association with the bulkhead installations. 3. A third section of bulkhead is proposed on the north side of the house in the basin and canal. Beginning at the east end of a slotted breakwater (addressed below) in the canal the applicant proposes to install a 196' bulkhead that will extend around the basin to a Coastal Wetland adjacent to the small tributary feeding into the canal. The bulkhead will parallel the coastal Wetlands along the tributary for approximately 40' and terminate. As proposed this bulkhead will be constructed at NWL with no proposed backfill. A proposed elevated walkway will be constructed over the bulkhead and in the canal if approved. 4. The fourth and final section of bulkhead will be constructed on the north side of the canal beginning at a proposed pedestrian bridge (See Page 7) and run in a westerly direction and terminate at a return wall at the proposed riprap alignment described in subsection 3. On page four of this report, for a total of 588'. The bulkhead will be constructed as close to NWL as possible and will not include any back fill. There is little to no evidence of erosion along the north shore of the canal where this bulkhead is being proposed. Breakwater: The development proposal includes the construction of a 344' slotted vinyl breakwater along the south side of the canal beginning on the east side of the 75' opening that connects to an adjacent Coastal Wetland (See Subsection b.2. on Page 4), and following along the shoreline at NWL and terminating at the west comer of the basin directly behind the house. Access to the shoreline during construction will be from the water. The land adjacent to the proposed breakwater is a mix of high ground and Section 404 Wetlands. No back fill is proposed in conjunction with the breakwater. T. A. Bramble July 14, 2006 Page 6 II. DREDGING The applicant is proposing to dredge an area 650' x 50' within the canal and basin and a 230'x 30' channel into the Albemarle Sound to a depth of four feet below NWL. The total length of the proposed dredge alignment will be 880'. According to the application the area to be dredged will be in line with a previously approved alignment under CAMA Major permit # 193-89. Review of the permit and permit modifications indicates that the length requested was 650', not 880', but a comparison of the drawing and aerial photography revealed that the proposed alignment closely approximates the alignment shown in the drawing submitted and approved for the original permit and modification. However, the width of the proposed channel does not appear to be consistent with the dimensions previously requested and approved. The channel widths requested and approved were 20' in the channel and canal. In addition to maintenance dredging, the applicant would like to excavate 1,989sf of high ground adjacent to the basin on the north side of the canal for two 40' x 14' stern-to boat slips. The approximate area will be 120' x 16.5' (ave.) and will be excavated to a depth of 4' below NWL. The average existing grade is approximately 3' above NWL within the area to be dredged is approximately. Material removed from this site will be placed in an above ground retention area to be addressed below. Excavated Boat Slips From High Ground: 1,989sf x 7' = 13,932cf = 516cy Excavation of a Small Sand Shoal in Canal to Existing Surrounding Depth: 728sf x 2' = 1,458cf = 54cy Dredge Spoil From Canal and Channel: 650' x 50' = 32,500sf 230' x 30' = 6,900sf 39,400sf x 2' = 79,800cf = 2,955.5cy According to the application it is estimated that the total amount of material to be hydraulically dredged will be 2,963cy. For the purpose of calculating dredge spoil total this higher amount will be used. As reflected in the second set of calculations above, a 728sf area of shoaling has occurred within the canal and will be dredged bringing the total of clamshell and hydraulic dredge material up to approximately 3,533cy. III. SPOIL SITES The applicant proposes to use a hydraulic dredge and a clamshell dredge at the site. The clamshell will be used on a small barge in the canal and trucked from the shoreline a short distance to a small 1,256sf retention area approximately forty feet T. A. Bramble July 14, 2006 Page 7 from the Albemarle Sound on the southeast side placed around the spoil site until the material material has been dried it will be used as back abutting the Sound. of the house. A silt fence will be is dry enough to move. Once the fill behind the proposed bulkhead Two additional spoil retention areas will be excavated along Soundside approximately forty feet from NWL for the placement of hydraulically removed material. The retention areas will be excavated to a depth of three feet below grade with a two-foot high berm five feet wide around the perimeter. A two-foot freeboard will be maintained around each spoil site to prevent material from leaving the site. A silt fence will be placed around the perimeter of each retention area for added precaution. Retention Area #1 interior dimensions will be approximately 4,160sf, and the interior dimensions of Retention Area #2 will be approximately 3,040sf. Excavated material will be used to create the berm around the excavated spoil sites and to backfill the reclamation areas behind the proposed bulkheads along the Albemarle Sound. Dredge spoil will also be used in the back fill process as needed, with the remaining material to be trucked off site. Excavated Spoil Retention Areas: 130' x 32' = 4,160sf x 3' = 12,480cf = 462.22cy 95' x 32' = 3,040sf x 3' = 9,120cf = 337cy 799cy Surface Storaize area for Clamshell Excavation Areas: (40' diameter are set aside) 202 x 3.14 = 1,256sf x 3' = 3,768cf = 140cy The total given does not take into account the amount of water that will entrain the spoil material being removed. Based on this it is anticipated that the total amount of water and solids entering the spoil retention site will be double. Based on this assumption it is anticipated that each site will be filled four times. Some of this material, once decanted, will be placed behind the proposed bulkhead with the remaining material being trucked off site. IV. WALKWAY, PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE, FINGER PIERS & MOORING PILINGS The total length of the proposed structure will be 296', and of that 266' will be a walkway, and 30' will be a pedestrian bridge. The walkway will wrap around the basin to the east, cross a small tidal creek, Coastal and Section 404 Wetlands and high ground to access a total of five boat slips with a total of eleven mooring pilings and two 12' long finger piers 3'-0" wide at the shoreline and tapering to a width of P-0". The walkway will be 6' wide and a small area will extend over the water. Estimated impacts from shading are as follows. Walkway over High Ground: 1,282sf Finger Piers (Over Estuarine and Public Trust Water): 48sf Walkway/ Dock over Estuarine and Public Trust Water: 450sf T. A. Bramble July 14, 2006 Page 8 Walkway over Coastal and Section 404 Wetlands: 110sf Pedestrian Bridge over Estuarine and Public Trust Water: 180sf Five boat slips are proposed within the project area. Three 24' x 14' slips are to be located at the south end of the basin adjacent to the two proposed finger piers, and two stern-to slips 40' x 14' will be placed in the area to be excavated on the north side of the canal. V. In addition to the disturbance listed in the previous sections it is anticipated that an additional 7,397sf of grading and incidental fill will be undertaken at the proposed bulkhead installations along the Albemarle Sound. Grading and Fill: 406' x 18' (approx.) = 7,397sf High Ground Disturbance ANTICIPATED IMPACTS • Localized turbidity is anticipated during installation of the bulkheads and during excavation and dredging. • The loss of 11,217sf of sandy shallow water bottom and Estuarine and Public Trust Water. • Shading of 110'sf of Coastal Wetlands. • Shading of 678sf of shallow water bottom and the loss of navigation due to the construction of a small area of dock and finger piers. • Creation of 2,717sf of shallow bottom, and Estuarine and Public Trust waters, from the excavation of high ground for two boat slips and the removal of a small sandy shoal within the canal. • The disturbance of 39,400sf of water bottom during the dredging of the canal and channel. • Temporary impacts to adjacent wetlands during construction of bulkheads and breakwater. • New habitat created by the placement of riprap below NWL. • Increased intensity of use based on the number of boat slips being created may result in secondary impacts to the adjacent water body from oils and trash associated with recreational uses.

The property is a 39.4 acre parcel that has been recently been separated from a previously larger tract that is being developed into a residential subdivision. The subject property is and has historically been owned by the Bramble family. The property front on the Albemarle Sound and includes the Bramble homestead. It is the intention of the family to preserve the remainder of their property. This would include some water dependent improvements. No additional upland development is proposed at this time. Included on the property are uplands, wetlands (Section 404 and coastal), a canal and small boat basin. Section 404 wetlands have been delineated by Quible and confirmed by USACE on 8-17-04. Since the subject property was part of a larger tract that is currently being developed as a residential subdivision, it was necessary to receive a USACE Nationwide #14 Permit and 401 Water Quality Certification for roadway impacts to Section 404 wetlands. These permits include driveway improvement leading to the Bramble homestead, where retaining walls and driveway fill and surfacing are currently taking place outside AEC's. The subject property has received CAMA Permits and renewals under 193-89 (enclosed) for maintenance dredging and shoreline stabilization. The CAMA Permit has since expired. The proposed work includes maintenance dredging to the previously permitted depth of -4 ft. The material will be hydraulically dredged and clamshell excavated by a local dredge service. On the current site plan and application, there are two hydraulic dredge soil retention areas indicated, both of which are outside of the 30 ft vegetative buffer. There is also a designated clamshell dredge spoil staging location. We have met representatives from Cape Dredging to discuss and plan the logistics behind getting this job completed. The best and most efficient way to complete the work is to perform a combination hydraulic dredge and clamshell operation. As shown on the site plan, the clamshell operation via barge will occur inside the canal after completion of the hydraulic dredging connecting to the 4 ft water depth contour. See also, the new cross-section of the hydraulic dredge retention areas. The two dredge retention areas will be excavated to create bowl-like earthen structures down to 3 ft below existing grade. Excavated material will be used to construct a berm around the perimeter that will be approximately 1 ft above existing grade. The additional material from creation of the retention areas will be directly used for bulkhead backfill. For hydraulic dredging, berms will be constructed with an influent and effluent pipe for the dredge slurry. On the site plan, influent pipes are depicted on the Albemarle Sound side of the berm. If during the hydraulic dredge procedure it is found that placement of the influent pipes inside the canal is more efficient, placement will be adjusted as needed. The clamshell dredge material from inside the canal will be transported from small barge to a dump truck that will be backed up near the small existing dock. See truck route to and from canal identified on the site plan. The material will immediately be transported to the dredge material stockpile location that is now indicated on the site plan. This application also proposes excavation of highground in the boat basin area for two side-to slips, and the creation of three additional stern-to slips. The stern-to slips (1-3) are proposed to be 14 ft x 24 ft and include two triangular finger piers. The side-to slips are proposed to be 14 ft x 40 ft for safe maneuvering. These slips do not include any excavation or disturbance to wetlands. There is an existing dilapidated dock shown on the site plan that will be removed prior to any proposed improvements. Shoreline stabilization is proposed in this application and includes a total of 1,863 If of vinyl bulkhead, 366 If of vertical slotted sheetpile -- ?2. 4t for areas within the canal and basin that are adjacent to wetlands, and 577 If of granitic rip-rap. Page 2- Bramble Narrative Construction of the bulkhead will be strategically timed to coincide with the dredge activity. Therefore, suitable (sand dominated) dredge material can be used for bulkhead backfill as it dries out instead of having to stockpile. This is a cost-efficient approach that is commonly employed to avoid "double-handling" of material when possible. A cross-section of the proposed vertical sheetpile/breakwater design is included on the site plan. This design has been provided and is endorsed by UNC Sea Grant. This is essentially a free-standing bulkhead structure with piles, whalers and sheathing with gaps so that the hydrologic connection is not lost. There is a location along the canal where DCM has identified a coastal wetland connection to a significant interior area of coastal wetlands. In this location, there will be no stabilization structures proposed to maintain this connection (See "open area" designation on the site plan). There are two proposed reclamation areas where the shoreline has significantly eroded in recent years and erosion escarpments have formed. In this area, many mature trees have been lost due to this erosion and the applicant simply wants to preserve the integrity of his property. The downed trees will be cut and carried out of this area prior to any shoreline stabilization and fill. Reclamation Area 1 is 6,233 sq ft and Reclamation Area 2 is 1,992 sq ft. Bulkhead is proposed at the waterward edge of the proposed reclamation areas. For reclamation Area 1, the average distance is 20 ft and the maximum is 37 ft. For reclamation Area 2, the average distance is 9 ft and the maximum is 12 ft. The bulkhead will be backfilled with sand material from maintenance dredging. The material from the canal is sand dominated from the outer third to the existing connecting depth of -4 ft. The inside of the canal is silt dominated and will not be used for bulkhead backfill except for where the material is dominated by sand. The enclosed photographs include existing conditions as well as depictions of permitted hydraulic dredge events from the past. Also proposed is a 308 If x 6 ft wide water dependent walkway in the basin area. Where the walkway crosses wetland or tidal creek, the pile supports will raise the decking a minimum of three ft above normal water level. This revised application package (site plan and MP forms) has specifically addressed deficiencies identified by DCM from written correspondences and from meetings.
