for the existing asphalt plant located in Washington County in the Town of Plymouth
on 215 Plywood Drive on the Roanoke River.
X
CAMA X
EXISTING None
Environmental setting
The applicant's property is located in Washington County within the Town of Plymouth
on 215 Plywood Drive adjacent the south side of the Roanoke River. The site
currently houses an asphalt plant and the remains of an old Georgia Pacific
plant. The site is approximately 20' above NWL, with a small "404" wetland
fringe along the river's edge.
Project proposal
The applicant proposes to construct a sheet piling bulkhead along approximately
600 feet of the shoreline. The proposed bulkhead will result in the filling of
approximately 600' by 10' (6000 sq.ft.) of "404" wetland fringe comprised of
willow trees and gums. The bulkhead is needed to be straight as it will be
used for loading and unloading of barges, which need to be aligned parallel to
the shore to prevent spillage into the adjacent waters. The bulkhead will be an
average of 5' beyond NWL, with a maximum of 10'.
The applicant also proposes to perform excavation along the proposed bulkhead
approximately 600' by 25' to a water depth of minus 101. This area has
approximately 5' water depth and will be excavated to the adjoining water depth.
This will result in approximately 2000 cubic yards of excavated materials which
will be placed on the adjacent highground and retained by silt fence. The
spoil will then be graded and seeded onsite.
Environmental impact
The project as proposed will result in the filling of approximately 6000 sq.ft.
of "404" wetlands as determined by Bissell and Associates. The maintenance
excavation will result in the removal of approximately 15,000 sq.ft. of river
bottom.

Dear LuAnn,
u 3-1L - 9
Pursuant to your letter dated 3 March 1989, I am forwarding the
revised CAMA Major Application and Plans for the Plymouth Barge
Landing Facility for your review and approval.
The revised plan reflects the realignment of the bulkhead along
the shoreline waterward of the 11404" line as discussed.
As the CAMA Permit Application indicates, outer Banks
Contractors, Inc.(OBC), is requesting permission to construct a
barge landing facility which includes bulkheading approximately
600 ft. of shoreline of their property in Plymouth, Washington
County adjacent to the south side of the Roanoke River. The
property was formerly the Georgia Pacific Mill Site and currently
houses an asphalt plant which is owned and operated by OBC. The
purposes for constructing the bulkhead along this shoreline are
1) to stabilize the eroding shoreline, 2) to substantially reduce
the navigation hazards which currently exist and 3) to provide a
protected area for barges to safely moor while unloading.
The current annual erosion rate (AER) of 2 ft. per year will be
halted by erecting the proposed bulkhead. The area between the
shoreline and the 11404" jurisdictional line, as delineated by the
our environmental specialists, is cluttered with debris
consisting of old pilings, bulkhead and railroad ties from an
abandoned railway which has deteriorated due to shoreline
erosion. This debris which has collected along the shoreline
creates a hazard to navigation. Placing the bulkhead where
proposed will provide a safe area in which to dock barges.

Additionally, placing the bulkhead waterward of the 404 will
facilitate an easier sheet piling installation which would
otherwise be extremely difficult if not impossible due to the
underlying debris. The revised plan eliminates points and turns
along the bulkhead, providing a parallel alignment for mooring.
This will reduce the chances of material spilling into the river
while unloading.
For reasons stated, it is requested to
bulkhead as proposed. Should you have
aforementioned, please do not hesitate
sincerely,
