9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is located on the south side of the Waccamaw
River where Hwy 130 crosses the river approximately 12 miles
northwest of Shallotte in Brunswick County. The site is accessed
from Hwy 130 by an existing dirt road which parallels the river
bank. The road terminates at an existing primitive landing below
the project site. The old landing is a low cypress swamp slough
that is dry at low water during summer months. Conversely, the
proposed new boat landing site is a high ground, vertical
riverbank area approximately 8 to 10 feet above normal water
level (NWL). The elevation continues to increase away from the
river for approximately 80 - 90 feet where it peaks in an open
pasture. The Waccamaw River is approximately 100 feet wide in the
project area, and is classified as C-SW by the NC Division of
Environmental Management.
The applicant proposes to construct a new boat ramp, 40 feet long
and 15 feet wide. Excavation for the ramp would be accomplished
20 feet into the high ground and the ramp would extend a maximum
of 20 feet into the river. The ramp would be constructed of
six-inch thick, reinforced concrete, and it would be installed on
a 4:1 slope. The applicant proposes to build a rip rap retaining
wall (54 l.f.) across the existing road on the lower side of the
project, such that a level turn-a-round area will be created for
boat launching. He also proposes to stabilize the shoreline
embankment, as well as, the boat ramp return walls with rip rap
(approximately 210 l.f.). A road, 20 feet wide, will exit the
ramp area and route vehicles and trailers to a 153' x 128' gravel
parking area to be located in the existing pasture.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The construction of a new boat ramp from the high bank shoreline
is less impacting on the environment than would be the excavation
of wetlands to improve the existing primitive landing site.
Boating access to the Waccamaw River will be enhanced, as there
are only four public boat landings between Lake Waccamaw and the
South Carolina State line. No adverse impacts are anticipated in
association with this project.

Dear Mr. Wright:
In regard to your letter of July 31, 1990
A. This plan is not damaging to any water or wetland
areas. There is already a boat landing at this location.
What we propose to do is place a concrete ramp 20 feet
long by 14 feet wide so that trailers will not bog down
in the river bed. There are no aquatic plants or fish
beds that will be disturbed by this work. There is no
other plan that would work and still allow boats access
to the water.
B. There will be no wetland losses or any adverse.impacts
from this boat landing or from construction. .
C. There will be no loss of waters or wetlands.
Sincerely yours,
Kenneth Babson
