9) Narrative Description:
The project is located at Phillips Park in the town of Jacksonville, 011SIO V County. Phillips Pau-k is located alone
U.S. Hwy. 17 in the cenh'al park of Jacksonville. This side of Phillips Park borders the northeast side Chaney
Creek.
Phillips Pcu'k is 7.7 acres in size and ranges from O' to 9' above NHW. Currently on the site thereexists aconcrete
bulkhead, concrete sidewalk, basketball court, sewer line and a sewer Pump station. The high ground portion of
the pau-k is landscaped with various grasses and shrubs. The shoreline of Chaney creek is vegetated with various
404 wetland plants along with Cattails (Tynha spp) and it few patches of Black Needle Rush (JuI1Cns
roenlerianus). US Hwy 17 borders Phillips Nark to the southeast. North and west of the pau-k arc residential
houses.
Chaney Creek is classified as inland waters by NCWRC. The Division of W?llel' Quality classifies this n'ea
of Chaney Creek as SC waters. It is not it PNA and is closed to the taking of shellfish. There are no shellfish
leases in the area. Jacksonville's Land Use Plan dated 1999 classifies this area as Developed and
Conservation within the AEC's. The subsh'ale of Chancy Creek is mostly mud and is approximately I MY
wide in this arell.
10) Project Description:
The town of Jacksonville is Proposing a shoreline stabilization and habitat enhancement Project to he located on
the shoreline of Phillips Park bordering Chaney Creek. The town Proposes to restore 910 liner I'eet ol'shorcline
and enhance an cxistin" cut alone the western side of the park. This would be accomplished by using an oyster
shell sill to stabilize the shoreline. Various at'cas would then he filled and excavated behind the sill and alone the
cut to achieve llcsil'ed elevations. SAV's and other wetland plallls Would be )IMI(eol in then: areas.
The proposed oyster shell sill would he 910' lung, 5' wide and 2.5' hi"h above suhstratc. to it point front O to 6"
above NI.W. The sill would he Placed a maximum of I O' watcrward ol'NHW in the area alone the e.xistin`e 535'
bulkhead and 30'-6O' Watcrward of NI-IW ellong the rest of the shoreline. The applicant proposes ofcslablish tile
I:roWth of nwssels along the sill to improve water quality. An area 5' wide would be planted with SAV's down the
entire landward length of the sill.
Behind the SAV's, where the bulkhead does not exist. 1,107 yo13 fill Would be hr01.1011t in to achieve desired
wetland elevations. This area of fill Would be 350' long and ranee from 5' to 60* wide. Water LICPths in this area
would chant-e from an average range of-5' to 0' at NHW to an avcra?-e of .3' at NI-IW. This Process could Place
fill in 3,150111(350'X9') of Wetlands but the function of these Wetlands should not chan`_e.
In the mouth of the cut the applicant proposes to excavate 3,000ft1(22yd3) from below NHW. This would change
the depths from -1.3' to -1.5' at NLW in this area. An additional 35,55Oft1 of hi,flh ground would he excavated
alone the cut in an effort to expand Section 404 wetlands. The current and finish contours in this cut will range
front O' to 8' above NHW. Two areas. 400ft1 and 1,50Uft1, would be filled to achieve desired contours. A long
weir would be placed between ll'esh water wetlands and tidal waters to control flow. A wetland pocket Would also
he created by excav,ting I?OOft1(30'X?4O') of high ground for stonnwater dissipation.

---------------------------
10. Anticipated Impacts:
The shoreline stabilization and enhancement project proposed by the town of Jacksonville would provide
habitat for a number of finfish and shellfish species. Vallous wetland plants placed in the area should help to
improve water quality from runoff. The installation of the sill would cause temporary turbidity and could be
dangerous to boaters if not properly marked. The placement of the fill would cause a short-term turbidity
concern if proper sedimentation measures were not employed. The project would disturb a total of 18,050 ft,
of shallow water habitat, 3,150 ftz of Coastal Marsh and 41,650 ft2 of hiceh `eround. The applicant states that
the overall project will restore 1.37 acres of freshwater and tidal wetlands, I I acres of shellfish habitat and
. I I acres of Submerged Aquatic Vegetation habitat.

Chancy Creek/Phillips Park Restoration Project
Adjacent Riparian Property Owners
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City of Jacksonville received a NOAA grant to initiate a community-based restoration
project within the Chaney Creek watershed. Chaney Creek is a tidally influenced coastal surface
water that runs through the heart of the City of Jacksonville. Although adjacent to a City park,
Chaney Creek is no longer a viable environmental or recreational resource due to marked
eutrophication and fecal coliform levels that exceed the recreational standard for North Carolina.
The core goal of the Chaney Creek Restoration Project is to extend the City's existing habitat
restoration efforts into other areas of the city to improve conditions in the overall New River
watershed. Primary objectives include restoring 1.37 acres of habitat including freshwater and
tidal wetlands in a highly visible park and on private lands; restore 0.11 acres of oyster bed;
restore 0.11 acres of submerged aquatic vegetation; create a volunteer monitoring program that
educates the public about challenges to habitats and uncontrolled growth; as well as educate the
general public about habitat and individual actions that can be taken to protect and preserve
habitat. This project will benefit living marine resources by providing self-sustaining critical
nursery refugia and developmental habitat for commercially important species such as blue crab;
brown, pink and white shrimp; flounder; menhaden; mullet, speckled and sea trout and red drum.
The wetlands, plantings, and oysters will be installed according to local, state and federal
standards. Sediment fences will be employed across the site and a sediment boom will be used
along the shoreline in Chaney Creek. Construction equipment to be used will include a backhoe
and typical landscaping tools. Aesthetically pleasing native landscaping will be utilized. The
City will protect the restoration efforts by establishing permanent conservation easements on the
areas restored. This project is not located within an AEC Hazard Area. This project complies
with the NC Environmental Policy Act (NCGS 113A-1 to 10).
