9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project site is located at 912 S. Anderson Blvd., adjacent to Banks Channel, in Topsail Beach, Pender
County. To get to the site from Wilmington, take US Hwy 17 North to NC Hwy 210. Turn right onto NC Hwy
210 and continue to NC Hwy 50. Take a right onto NC Hwy 50. Travel across the swing bridge to the stoplight.
Take a right onto NC Hwy 50. The project site will be just past the Topsail Beach Town Hall on the right. The
property is located on NC Hwy 50 / S. Anderson Blvd. The property is approximately 30,000 ft.'. The current
elevation of the property ranges from 0' above normal water level to approximately 4' above normal high water.
The project site is adjacent to NC Hwy 50 to the east, residential property to the north, vacant property to the
south, and Banks Channel to the west. There is currently a building on the lot, a retaining wall and a 12-slip
docking facility with a boat ramp. The existing boat ramp measures approximately 19' in width and 75' in
length. The highground portion of the property is an existing gravel parking lot.
CAMA Major permit #74-04 issued to M. Randy Greene on May 17, 2004 authorizing the construction of a
convenience store with fueling system and a commercial docking facility. The permit was transfer to DCW
Island, LLC on March 14, 2005. A modification to the permit was issued on May5, 2005 to reduce the length of
the pier. The permit was again transferred to the Town of Topsail Beach on November 28, 2006 and expired on
December 31, 2007.
The Topsail Beach Land Use Plan classifies the upland areas of this project as Developed. The waters of the
project site are classified as SA by the NC Division of Water Quality. The NC Division of Marine Fisheries has
NOT designated Banks Channel as a Primary Nursery Area, and the waters adjacent to the proposed project
are closed to the harvesting of shellfish.
PROPOSED PROJECT:
The applicant is proposing to replace the existing boat ramp. The proposed boat ramp would measuring 19' in
width by 75' in length. The water depths at the end of the proposed structure would be approximately -3' @
Normal Low Water.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The proposed dock would incorporate approximately 665 ft.' of highground and 760 ft.' of public trust waters.
The boat ramp replacement would likely result in a temporary increase in turbidity.
Submitted by: J. W. Giles Date: July 15, 2009 Office: Wilmington
Attachment 6-A
Bush Marina was constructed in the early 1960'S. Marina
amenities at the time included a Boat Ramp, Parking, Fuel,
Facilities for Marine Repairs and Sales.
Bush Marina was sold to the Town of Topsail Beach in 2006,
At which time the only amenities that were offered and are still
offered are the Boat Ramp for launch and recovery of water craft,
Parking and Boat Docks.
The Boat Ramp that is in use at this time needs to be replaced. The
end of the ramp over time has deteriorated to the point that now it
is hard to launch or recover boats without backing trailers off the
end of the ramp. This situation can cause damage to the trailers.
The Town needs to remove the old Boat Ramp and replace it with
a new concrete ramp.
