PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to construct a 121.5'X4' pier, including a T-head platform (15' x 12') and two boatlifts at the end of the pier, to provide water access for his private residence. Gene Whicker Page 2 9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project area is a single-family residential lot (Lot 318), on Genoes Point Road, in Lockwood Folly Subdivision, adjacent to the Lockwood Folly River, in Brunswick County. The lot is approximately 315 feet in depth and 90 feet in width. The lot is currently vacant, wooded, primarily with live oak and hickory, but the applicant is in the process of designing his private residence for subsequent construction on the lot. The highground area of the lot averages about 7.5 feet elevation M.S.L., and gradually slopes from the road toward the river. The waterward side of the lot (northeast) transitions from highground to a 70-80 feet wide border of high coastal marsh. Vegetation species observed were; Juncus roemarianus, i ni m spp., Salicornia spp., i i hli spicata, Borrichia frutescena, Spartina patens. and Spartina alterniflora. The frequency of smooth cordgrass (S. alterniflora) increases in a waterward direction, resulting in a 30 feet border, comprised solely of smooth cordgrass, completing the waterward limits of coastal wetland vegetation prior to open water. The Lockwood Folly River is approximately 2600 feet wide in the project area, however there are extensive areas of smooth cordgrass marsh, numerous marsh islands, and shoals interspersed throughout the shallow river basin. The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (U.S.A.C.O.E.) maintains a channel, 100 feet wide, along the southside (project side) of the river. The navigational easement for the project extends up river to the bridge on N. C. Hyw'211. The U.S.A.C.O.E. is currently in the process of initiating a maintenance dredging project that will extend approximately two miles above Varnumtown, N.C. The waters in the project area are classified SA by the N.C. Division of Environmental Management. The applicant's property is located in close proximity to the line established by the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries which has traditionally separated OPEN and CLOSED shellfishing waters. Currently, even the waters south of this line are temporarily closed by recent DMF proclamation. The waters are not designated as primary nursery area. The applicant proposes to construct a pier from his property for water access to the Lockwood Folly River. The pier would be 121.5 feet long and 4 feet wide, and would terminate in a T-shaped platform at its waterward end. This platform would be 15 feet long and 12 feet wide. A walkway (20' X 31 would extend from the southeast corner of the platform to access a proposed boatlift (20' X 12'). A second boatlift (15' X 12') is proposed on the northwest side of the T-head platform. No roofing is proposed over any of the structure. The end of the pier would be located at elevation -4.2 N.G.V.D. or -2 feet at MLW. This would place the end of the structure 43 feet from the toe of the federally maintained channel. The pier would be elevated over wetland vegetation. 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS The proposed structure would incorporate 660 square feet of estuarine/public trust waters. The construction of the pier may create localized, short-term turbidity increases during piling installation. If properly elevated over marsh vegetation, the pier should result in no adverse impacts to marine resources. Submitted by: E. F.
