PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant proposes to construct a new
wooden bulkhead, 90 feet in length, 2 feet waterward of an
existing asbestos bulkhead which is in poor condition.
Approximately 40 cubic yards of backfill material from an upland
site is proposed to be placed between the two structures.
ADJACENT WATER BODY: AIWW
CLASSIFICATION: SA-ORW STATUS: OPEN
The project has been reviewed to determine impacts to. water
quality. The following comments have been provided.
1. The project will require a 401 Water Quality Certification.
2. The project complies with the General 401 Water Quality
Certification No. 1272 for Bulkhead Construction.
3. The proposed project should be done in such a way as to not
cause the turbidity outside the immediate construction are
to exceed 25 NTU.
This office has no objection to the project as proposed.

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is adjacent to Middle Sound at 8424 Bald Eagle
Lane (S.R. 1401) in New Hanover County. This is a single family
residential area. The applicant's lot is 3/4 of an acre in size
and averages 10' above mean sea level. The lot is 90' wide and
is bulkheaded. New Hanover County classifies the area as
resource protection, providing for preservation of important
resources. The area is one of high wave action resulting in loss
of marsh over the years and sandy bottom material.
Middle Sound is approximately 600' across at the project site.
The area is not designated Primary Nursery by the Division of
Marine Fisheries, is open to shellfishing, and is classified
SA-ORW by the Division of Environmental Management.
There is currently an asbestos bulkhead on the site. This
structure is beginning to bow and has blown out at one point.
There are raised hummocks, approximately 1.5' in height,
supporting new growth Spartina alterniflora adjacent to the
bulkhead. This is under stress and appears to be very unstable.
The field investigation on June 28, 1990 revealed X25-30:sq.- ft.
of vegetation to be impacted by the project. This area had been
reduced to 15-20 sq. ft. by the July 5, 1990 investigatto, ,The
aerial photographs from 1984 to 1989: indicate approximately 4'
loss per year in marsh vegetation.
There is an elevated boat ramp, a pier and gazebo existing on the
site.
The applicant proposes to replace the.existing 90' bulkhead with
a new bulkhead 2' waterward of the existing bulkhead. This would
incorporate approximately 15-20 sq. ft. of Spartina alterniflora
marsh and approximately 160 sq. ft. of open water. The blowout
in the structure has caused an increase in the daily effect of
the elements on the stability of the high ground.
The bulkhead will be backfilled with approximately 40 cubic yards
of sand from an inland source.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The project will incorporate approximately 15-20 sq. ft. of
Spartina alterniflora and 160 sq. ft. of shallow bottom.
Approximately 180 sq. ft. of sandy, bottom material will be
filled.
