PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to add three additional boat slips to an existing 10 slip boat dock. PROJECT SETTING: The project is currently being reviewed via the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act as a result of the slips creating a facility now being considered a marina. The property consists of an approximately 34,000 square foot lot at the intersection of East Front Street and Queens Street and on the Neuse River in the City of New Bern, Craven County. Currently a 13 unit townhouse and 10 slip boat dock exist on the property. The 182' of shoreline is bulkheaded with essentially no coastal wetlands on the North side of the dock and a 5' - 25' wide fringe of 404 and coastal wetlands to the South of the dock. Various amounts of riprap material which have been placed in the water over the years is located along the shoreline. Water depths within the area of the existing boat dock range from -1.5' near shore to 10' below normal water level (NWL) at the end of the dock. A federally authorized channel is located just offshore of the existing docking facility. The Neuse River is classified as SC Nutrient Sensitive Waters in the project area and are closed to the harvesting of shellfish. Submerged aquatic vegetation was observed along the shoreline and out to 100' waterward of the normal water level line. No submerged aquatic vegetation was observed in the project area. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is proposing to construct a 3' wide x 32' long finger pier and 4 associated tic pilings landward of the last slip. This would create 3 additional boat slips in 7.5' of water at the dock. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The project as proposed will cause a temporary, short ten-n increase in turbidity levels immediately adjacent to the project during construction. The project as proposed would usurp an additional 3224 square foot of Public Trust Area of which 96 square foot would be shaded by the finger pier.

Also, the Statement is made under "Eutrophication" that boats will use the public pump out facility available at the Sheraton Marina. This is only an assumption because even with available pump out facilities, this does not guarantee they will be used.
