FROM: ompm
SUBJECT: Application for CAMA Permit
Richard Calhoun
Currituck County
The Subject application has been reviewed for water
quality impacts and the following comments are offered:
a. The proposed project does require a 401 Water
Quality Certification but does meet the
requirements for General Certification No. 1272
for construction of bulkheads.
b. The proposed project involves the dredging of four
foot depth when adjoining waters are only two feet
deep. With the new excavation to be deeper than
the waters to which they drain, the probability of
stagnant water and dissolved oxygen depletion
occurring in the newly excavated areas is high due
to the poor flushing characteristics of such an
arrangement.
C. The applicant has not provided adequate
information concerning the specific location for
spoil disposal and adequacy of containment of
these spoils to prevent re-entry of the dredged
materials into surface waters.
It is recommended that the permit not be issued due to
the problems cited above. If the applicant will reduce the
dredged depth to two feet and provide adequate information
on containment of spoils, we will reconsider this objection.

basin to a depth of 41. build a 161X4' dock.with a 121X4' "L" platform
and build 390' of bulkhead an average of 5' waterward of NWL and the
existing deteriorated bulkhead. This construction will take place on
the southside of the basin and along the shoreline in front of the
ant's residence.

SITE DESCRIPTION
. The applicant's property is a 3 acre tract located along the
Currituck Sound, 75 yards north of the end of Halls Harbor Road,
Harbinger, Currituck County. The lot consists of' approximately
1.6 acres of woods and 1.4 acres of cleared land (site of the
applicant's vacation home). Roughly separating the wooded and
cleared tracts is a 180' X 27' boat basin.
Presently there exists a single family dwelling, a 16' X 20'
storage shed (built over the landward end of the boat basin) and
two finger piers (10' X 2' and 8' X 2') extending into the boat
basin. The boat basin and shoreline were bulkheaded years ago.
The condition of the bulkhead along the shoreline is extremely
poor. Only remnants of the bulkhead exist along the shoreline of
the wooded tract. The NWL in this area stands approximately 20'
landward of the bulkheads remaining pilings. Though the bulkhead
along the shore of the cleared tract still functions, erosion has
taken place behind it. The NWL stands as far back as 8' landward
of the existing bulkhead in several eroded pockets.
The boat basin has silted in over time. It's present depth
averages 15". Eurasian water milfoil and Widgeon grass (Ruppia
maritima) are abundant in the basin.
The elevation of the site is approximately 3' above mean
high water. The soil in this area is sandy. Vegetation on the
cleared tract is primarily lawn grass with a scattering of
Prickly Pear (Opuntia sp.). In the more severely eroded pockets
are cat-tails (Typha sp.) and Broomsedge (Andropogan
virginicurs). One low spreading Juniper (Junipersus sp.) and
several Willow (Salix sp.) make up the remaining shoreline
vegetation on the project tract. The wooded tract is dominated
by mature stand of Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda).
The applicant proposes to construct 390 ' of bulkhead 5'
waterward of the existing bulkhead along the boat basin and south
of the cleared tract. In addition, he seeks approval to dredge a
10' wide channel the length of the basin (180'), extending 20'
into the sound. He proposes to build a 16' X 4' pier with a 12'
X 4' "L" platform into the sound. The proposed project will
excavate approximately 296 cubic yards of material from the boat
basin. The applicant desires to put this material on two upland
sites located on the cleared tract of lands and to fill in behind
the proposed bulkhead.

ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
This project will result in the dredging of approximately
2000 sq. ft. of shallow water habitat, 200 sq. ft. 'of which will
come out of estuarine waters. Bulkheading will result in the
filling of 1035 sq. ft. of shallow water habitat in the basin and
915 sq. ft. landward of the existing deteriorated bulkhead.
Construction will cause temporary turbidity.,
No archaeological sites have been identified in this project
area.
