FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT - BRADFORD PERRY, CRAVEN COUNTY
PAGE #2
8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to maintenance
excavate a section of the man-made canal 60' long x 30' wide
x -4.5' deep; the spoils (some 300 cu. yds.) will be
retained on the highground. A private pier measuring 20'
long x 4' wide paralleling the bulkhead is planned for
construction. The existing bulkhead will be refaced with .a
new 60' structure.
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Mr. Bradford Perry,
has submitted a permit request to maintenance excavate the
man-made canal in front of his two residential lots (#192 &
#193) located on Pelican Drive, in Fairfield Harbor
Subdivision, off of Northwest Creek, in Craven County, NC.
Mr. Perry's plans also include construction of a simple pier
measuring 20' long x 4' wide paralleling the existing
bulkheaded shoreline. One mooring piling will also be
installed as shown on the workplat drawing. It will be
located 20' from the bulkhead which is one-third the width
of the canal abreast of the proposed pier. The existing
asbestos bulkhead is deteriorating, and the applicant
proposed to "reface" the structure with a new bulkhead that
will have an onset alignment of approximately 611. Refacing
is a construction technique developed by local contractors
to replace weakened asbestos bulkheads without undue
disturbance to the old structure, or encroachment on the
marine environment. The new wooden bulkhead is constructed
as a free-standing unit and anchored when possible to the
highground. Several of the bulkheaded lots on the canal
near the project site have been refaced in the past few
years. In terms of background information on the canal, the
Division of Coastal Management issued Permit #117-87 to
Neuse Realty and Insurance Company/John K. Wheeler in June
of 1987 to maintenance excavate the same area of the canal
immediately adjacent to Mr. Perry's project in front of Lots
#190 and #191.
As Mr. Perry's project plans show, a somewhat rectangular
area measuring 60' long x 30' wide will be excavated to a
depth of -4.5' NWL. The resultant spoil, some 300 cu. yds.
of silty sand, will be stockpiled on the highground property
landward of an earthen containment berm. Once the material
has de-watered, it will be spread over the two lots and
landscaped. A silt fence will be employed around the yard to
contain silt-laden runoff. The proposed excavation will
directly displace approximately 100 sq. ft. of voluntary
marsh vegetation dominated by salt meadow grass (Spartina
patens) and Section 1404' type wetlands, such as, one bald
cypress tree. The marsh area measures about 20' long x 5'
wide. As noted on the workplat drawing, a floating mat of
FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT - BRADFORD PERRY, CRAVEN COUNTY
PAGE #3
"alligator weed" has moved into the canal and has wrapped
around the salt marsh. The alligator weed also will be
removed by the planned excavation.
Construction plans for the applicant's house on Lots #192
and #193 are not yet complete, and therefore, do not appear
on the workplat drawing. Fairfield Harbor is served by City
water and sewer. The surface waters within Northwest Creek
and the man-made canal system of Fairfield Harbor are
considered inland waters and classified 'SC' and are closed
to the harvesting of shellfish.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The proposed project will directly
displace approximately 100 sq. ft. of high marsh vegetation
dominated by salt meadow grass. The area contains other
plant species growing above the NWL. The maintenance
excavation will also displace 1800 sq. ft. of canal
bottomland. The canal is reported to be -6' deep on NWL so
that the adjusted water depth of -4.5' is not considered
excessive. The proposed pier and mooring pile will fit
comfortably into the horseshoe canal without causing a
problem to neighboring navigation. Land-disturbing
activities associated with 300 cu. yds. of spoil appear to
be under control with adequate sediment containment
measures.

NARRATIVE
Applicant's property is Lots 192 and 193 of Section 5, Part 2, of
Treasure Cove Jamaica, located in the Fairfield Harbor Subdivision,
which is near the end of Broad Creek Road (NCSR 1600) in craven
County.
The property is situated at the head of a man-made canal which is part
of an interior canal system that connects onto Northwest Creek. The
uplands of the property consist of sandy soils on which are growing
scrubby grasses and mature pines. Upland elevations reach as much as
6' above sealevel. These elevations grade sharply to the existing
bulkhead, which demarcates the original shoreline.
Waterward of this bulkhead, sand and silt have accumulated on which is
growing a mixture of marsh species, predominately salt meadow grass.
Waterward of this marsh area, a floating mat of aquatic vegetation has
also developed. Water depths taper gradually downward to
approximately 6' in the central portion of the canal.
The applicant is proposing to maintain the canal to a depth of -4.5'.
This will require the excavation of the volunteer marsh fringe and
removal of the floating aquatics mat (approximately 675 s.f.) The
applicant also plans to build a new bulkhead immediately adjacent to
the existing structure, in order to shore it up, and eventually a
residence is planned for the upland portions of the lot. The project
is to provide water access for the applicant. Significant adverse
impacts to the overall water quality and marine resources of the
adjacent areas are not anticipated.
