PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to construct a bulkhead, and place riprap on the waterward side of
the bulkhead. The bulkhead will be constructed from the corners of existing bulkheads on neighboring properties in
a straight line with an average alignment ±24' waterward of the normal water level (NWL). The proposed riprap will
be placed with a 2:1 slope with the waterward toe averaging 10' from the proposed bulkhead.

Pungo River
Beaufort County
Project Setting
The project site is located off SR 1722 on the west side of the Pungo River below Belhaven
at the residential subdivision locally referred to as Ellis Cove in Beaufort County, North Carolina.
The project site is a partially wooded undeveloped 0.41.-acre residential lot with ±6 P of shoreline.
There is a ± 4' high erosion escarpment that is armored with broken concrete and granite riprap.
This erosion escarpment transitions to a sandy estuarine beach between 5' to 20' wide above the
normal water level. The shorelines on adjacent properties are stabilized with bulkheads. The
bulkhead return wall on the downstream side is 30' long while the bulkhead return wall on the
upstream side is 50' long. The lot is vegetated primarily with various oaks, loblolly pines and sweet
gum trees. The under story consist of various vines and shrubs. The adjacent downstream waterfront
property is developed with single-wide trailer. The adjacent upstream lot is developed but vacant of
a residential structure. The maximum water depth in the eroded area between the bulkheads on
adjoining properties is ±18". The presence of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) was not observed
at or near the project area although this observation was made recently during a dormant period for
SAV growth. This project site is near (<200') the Victoria Paul property subject of Major
CAMA/Dredge and Fill Permit No. 116-05 issued 15 July 2005 for bulkhead construction "corner to
corner." The Pungo River at this location is designated as SB NSW by the Environmental
Commission, Coastal Waters by the Division of Marine fisheries and is open to shell fishing.
Project Description
The applicant proposes to construct a bulkhead from the corners of existing bulkheads on
neighboring properties, in a straight line, with an average alignment ±24' waterward of the NWL.
The maximum distance between the proposed bulkhead and the NWL is ±25'. The proposed
bulkhead will be backfilled to the ±4' high erosion escarpment. The proposed riprap will be placed
with a 2:1 slope with the waterward toe averaging 10' from the proposed bulkhead.
Project Impacts
The project as proposed will result in the filling of ±2,074 ftzof shallow water habitat in the
Pungo River. There will be some short-term localized turbidity associated with the construction
activities.
Steve Trowell - Washington Regional Office - 23 January 2006
MAJOR PERMIT APPLICATION
JAN.9/2006
Narrative for Elizabeth W.P. Sloan
We propose the installation of a bulkhead inline with the adjacent property owners to prevent further
erosion of the property. By driving vinyl sheet piling to connect the adjacent bulkheads and placing broken
concrete and granite stone. The backfill will be hauled in from an inland pit.
