9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project is located at 215 Sumner Rest 1;,ad, adjacent to the Atlantic Intra
Coastal Waterway (AIWW) approximately 600 fact north of the Wrightsville Beach
drawbridge, in New Hanover County, North Carolina. The applicant's property is
bisected by Suumner Rest Road. The project site is that portion of the lot east
of the road, approximately 50 feet x 55 feet. The elevation of the property at
the road is approximately 10ft. m.s.l. The elevation remains relatively
constant for 15-20 feet waterward where it descends sharply to approximately
4-5 ft. m.s.l. grading to the marsh. This low area is overgrown in weeds and
small shrubs, and several "404" type wetland plant species were observed at the
interface to coastal wetlands. The coastal wetlands consist of a number of
individual stands of Juncus roemerianus at the base of the slope interspersed
and followed by a border of smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) marsh
ranging in width from 40 to 120 feet. Beyond this marsh is an open water
slough varying in width from 45 to 85 feet across the project area. Waterward
of the slough is another border of smooth cordgrass marsh, approximately 175
feet wide, which terminates at the open water of the AIVAV s eastern side. The
slough in the project area is an extension of an existing channel and hasi.n
located approximately 50-70 feet to the south in a wider part of the cove. The
configuration of the slough and remnants of an old pier in the marsh indicate
this area was also used for water access at some time in the past. The
adjacent property to the south was recently dredged to -5ft. mlw, to connect to
the existing channel (ie. State Permit 8106-87). The dredging limits of that
project end at the Black's property line. The remainder of the highground
property is located west of Summer Rest Road, and consists of an existing
single-family residence. The waters in this area are classified as SB-Closed,
and are not designated as nursery areas.
The applicant proposes to obtain water access for his private residence by the
excavation of a 25 ft. x 44 ft. x -5 ft. m.l.w. boat basin to connect to the
recently dredged basin and accessway of the adjacent property. An elevated
pier, 115 ft. long x 6 ft. wide, terminating with a 8 ft. x 36 ft. floating
dock, is proposed to access the basin from highground. A retaining wall above
the mean high water contour would be constructed along an alignment landward of
the "404" wetland fringe, as delineated by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers field
personnel. This structure would be approximately 70 feet in length, connecting
to the existing bulkhead to the south and include a 20 feet wing wall on the
northern side of the property; Backfill from basin excavation would be placed
behind this wall. The excavation of 204 cubic yards of material would be done
by hydraulic dredge. Originally, the applicant proposed to place the dredge
spoils directly behind the retaining wall. However, after consultation
concerning the operation of a hydraulic dredge and the need for a water control
structure and dike, the applicant has subsequently submitted a proposed spoil
disposal area detail (sheets 3 & 4). Any excess material would be trucked to
an off site, highground disposal area.

10. AN'rICIPATED IMPACTS
There will be some short term turbidity and siU ati.on associated with the
dredging portion of the project. Provided the work is timed to avoid periods
of peak biological activity, no long term impacts are anticipated. Strict
supervision and observation of spoil disposal area must accompany the project
dredging to insure no overspill. Several individual work periods, rather than
one continuous dredging time may be necessary to accommodate water volume in
the spoil area.
The pier/dock structure does not adhere to the application of the "one/third
rule" in the strictest sense. Although the AI«d is approximately 500 feet wide
from the outer marsh fringe, the grass to grass opening in the cove is only
60--70 feet in the project area. The proposed 36' x 8' floating dock exceeds
the "one-third rule" if applied in this case. However the following
circumstances promote the proposed location:
1. The cove closes just north of the Flack's property and is not
navigable.
2. The riparian property owner to the north already has water access to
the AIWW by means of an elevated pier and dock structure, and has
signed a riparian statement of no objection to the project.
3. Placement of the floating dock at the proposed location would allow the
maintenance of the maximum feasible distance from both the inner and
outer Spartina alterniflora marsh fringes in the cove during the
dredging of the boat basin.
