9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
The project is located at 613 Trails End Road, adjacent to the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) just
south of Whiskey Creek, in New Hanover County. To locate the project site from Market Street
(Highway 17), travel South on College Road towards Monkey Junction. At the intersection of South
College Road and Holly Tree Road turn left. Continue east on Holly Tree Road, and bear right at the
stoplight onto Pine Grove Drive. Continue on Pine Grove Drive, and bear right at the intersection of
Masonboro Loop and Masonboro Sound Roads. Continue south on Masonboro Loop Road for
approximately 2 miles. Turn left onto Trails End Road after crossing the Whiskey Creek Bridge.
Continue east on Trails End Road until it terminates at the AIWW. The project site will be located on the
left hand side at the end of the road. The project site is approximately 1.78 acres and consists of five (5)
parcels that are currently owned by New Hanover County. The North Carolina Wildlife Resource
Commission is applying on behalf of New Hanover County to develop this area as a free public boating
access area. The upland portions of the project site have an average elevation of approximately +6 feet
above Normal High Water (NHW) and are vegetated primarily with lawn grasses and mature upland
hardwood species such as Live Oak and Red Cedar. Existing man-made features on the project site
include a chain link fence and an unimproved sand/gravel parking area on the highground. Existing water
dependant features on the project site include a 63 feet long by 6 feet wide fixed pier extending toward the
AIWW. The existing pier terminates at a 16 feet long by 16 feet wide platform. Connected to the
platform, via ramps, on the north and south sides, are two (2) floating docks approximately 8 feet wide by
16 feet long. Water depths adjacent to the existing docking structure are approximately -4 feet at Normal
Low Water (NLW). The project site has approximately 202 linear feet of shoreline frontage along the
AIWW that has been stabilized with a wooden bulkhead. Located waterward of the existing bulkhead are
Coastal Wetlands consisting primarily of Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina alternaflora). The Coastal
Wetlands range from approximately 30 feet in width, at the northern property line, to approximately 12
feet in width along the property line to the south. The Trails End Road Right of Way abuts the project site
to the south and has an unimproved boat launch area at its terminus. The ownership and maintenance
responsibility of the area from the intersection of Purviance Drive to the street end are unclear, although
the boat launch and access area have been historically utilized by adjacent land owners and the public.
Current land uses adjacent to the project site include a marina with wet and dry slips to the north and
developed residential lots to the south and west.
The Wilmington-New Hanover County Land Use Plan classifies the upland areas of the project site as
Conservation. The waters of the Cape Fear River are classified as SA-ORW by the NC Division of Water
Quality (DWQ). The NC Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) has designated this area of Masonboro
Sound as Primary Nursery Area and the waters adjacent to the proposed project are closed to the
harvesting of shellfish.
10. PROPOSED PROJECT:
The applicant is proposing to construct a new boat ramp with concrete maneuvering area, apron, bulkhead,
pier, and a wooden boardwalk. The applicant is proposing to construct a new 60 feet long by 16 feet wide
boat ramp that would be located along the southern property line. The proposed boat ramp would require
the removal of a portion of the existing bulkhead and excavation. The proposed boat ramp would require
minimal excavation above NHW, excavation of Coastal Wetlands, and excavation of shallow water bottom
to provide adequate slope for boat launching and to connect to adjoining water depths. The applicant is
proposing to excavate approximately 285 square feet of Coastal Wetlands located within the proposed boat
ramp area. The applicant is proposing to dredge an area below NHW, measuring approximately 35 feet
long by 16 feet wide, to a depth of -4 feet (relative to NLW) to provide adequate slope and access to the
existing channel. The applicant is proposing to dredge approximately 59 cubic FIELD
INVESTIGATION REPORT:
Trails End Boating Access Area, NHC
PAGE #3
yards of material from below NHW within a designated PNA. All dredge spoil material would be placed
on the highground, dewatered and grading on the existing project site. The proposed boat ramp would be
constructed of concrete, formed on the highground and pushed into place. As proposed, the boat ramp
would extend approximately 40 feet below NHW and approximately 25 feet below NLW. The applicant
is proposing to stabilize the area below the concrete boat ramp with stone to prevent erosion. The
applicant is proposing to construct two (2) vinyl walls along both sides of the boat ramp for stabilization.
As proposed, the boat ramp stabilization walls would measure approximately 60 feet in length by 1.5 feet
in width. The proposed boat ramp stabilization walls would parallel the concrete ramp and would
terminate approximately 40 feet waterward of NHW at the edge of the concrete ramp. The applicant is
proposing to construct a 60 feet long by 6 feet wide fixed dock adjacent to the proposed stabilization wall
to the north that would provide access to boats staged within the launch area. This dock would connect to
a 130 feet long by 4 feet wide wooden access walkway (located over the highground) that would provide
access to the existing docking facility located on the project site. The applicant is also proposing to
redevelop the existing sand/gravel parking area by constructing a 20 feet long by 16 feet wide concrete
apron and 80 feet long by 58 feet wide concrete maneuvering area adjacent to the proposed boat ramp.
The applicant is also proposing to revegetate a 1,544 square foot area that would be located waterward of
the proposed wooden walkway.
11. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The proposed boat ramp would result in the excavation and filling of approximately 285 square feet of
Coastal Wetlands (CW) AEC. As proposed, the boat ramp would result in the excavation of
approximately 59 cubic yards of material from below NHW. The proposed excavation would result in a
final depth of -4 feet relative to NLW at the waterward end of the proposed boat ramp. The proposed
excavation would connect to the adjacent previously dredged channel which provides access to the AIWW.
All dredge spoil material would be placed on the highground, dewatered and grading on the exisitng
project site. The proposed boat ramp would result in approximately 640 square feet (+/- 35 cubic yards)
of concrete over stone fill within the shallow bottom of the PNA, Public Trust Area (PTA) and Estuarine
Waters (EW) AECs. The portions of the boat ramp and approach located above NHW would result in
the redevelopment of approximately 5,280 square feet of existing impervious surface within the
Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW)-AEC. The proposed wooden walkway, constructed on grade,
would result in 520 square feet of impervious surface within the ORW-AEC. The proposed boat ramp
stabilization walls along both sides of the boat ramp would result in approximately 81 sq. ft. of fill in the
ES AEC. The portion of the boat ramp stabilization wall located waterward of NHW would result in
approximately 99 square feet of fill within the PTA and EW AECs. The boat ramp stabilization wall
would extend approximately 34 feet toward the channel. The proposed pier would incorporate
approximately 192 square feet of PTA AEC and would extend approximately 34 feet toward the AIWW.

Trails End Boating Access Area Narrative
Trails End Road, Wilmington
New Hanover County, North Carolina
Project Description
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC) is proposing an addition to
neighborhood boating access area that will enhance free public boating access to the Masonboro
Sound area. The proposed boating access area will include one single slab concrete boat ramp
with apron, two vinyl sheet pile breakwaters, one fixed pier, and a wooden walkway to an
existing wooden dock. Also included will be a concrete maneuvering area. Ramp dimensions
will be 16' x 60', apron dimensions will be 16' x 20', and concrete maneuvering area dimensions
are 80' x 58' with a 40' radius on the northeast corner. Both sheet pile walls are identical with
dimensions of approximately 1.5' by 60'. The wood dock dimensions will be 6' x 60'. The
wooden walkway to the existing dock is 130' x 4'. Entrance to the access area will be from
Trails End Road. Trails End Road is stone and leads to a stone maneuvering area in front of an
existing unimproved boat launch. Currently, the unimproved boat launch has to remain in place
due to agreements between the neighborhood and New Hanover County. New Hanover County
purchased the adjacent property with the intention of providing a launch facility that could be
used by the public, and not just the neighborhood.
The project site is located at the terminus of Trails End Road. Current land use
surrounding the project area is heavily developed with residential dwellings and a marina to the
north of the property.
Need for the Proposed Project
Providing public access for recreational uses of wildlife and fisheries resources is
important to accomplishing the WRC's overall management objectives. The Boating Safety Act
(G. S. 75A-1 et seq.) contains provisions for funding and expenditures to purchase or lease areas
for constructing boating access facilities [G. S. 75A-3(c)]. As of 2009, the WRC has constructed
approximately 210 boating access areas across North Carolina. Requests for new access areas
are received on a regular basis.
Improvement of the existing access area at the proposed project site will enhance public
access to Masonboro Sound and the AICW for anglers, recreational boaters and waterfowl
hunters. The project site is currently developed and receives moderate use from the public and
neighborhood.
The demand for new boating access areas statewide continues to increase. The popularity
of boating access areas has lead to overcrowding, and long waits for loading and unloading boats
are being experienced. Presently, the closest Wildlife boat ramp is the Wrightsville Beach BAA,
which is undersized pertaining to the amount of use it receives. A developed facility on Trails
End Road will help alleviate overcrowding at surrounding boat launches.
Alternatives Considered
2
The objective of the proposed project is to provide a facility that will enhance public
access to the waters of the area. Alternatives to the proposed project were not considered, as
none would accomplish the project objective. Likewise, alternate site locations were not
considered as proposed site and the private holdings adjacent to the site have all been developed,
thereby minimizing the impacts of the improved access area. Finally, there is very limited public
access in the area. The location of this site coupled with the intent of the county to provide water
access serves an important public access need. The proposed activities are intended to bring an
existing facility within acceptable design standards that all of the public can enjoy.
Cultural resources:--There are no known cultural or archaeological resources on the
access area site; however, a formal archeological survey on this site has not been conducted.
Until construction of the current residential community, the majority of the site was most likely
part of a vast freshwater marsh complex. Prior to the sites current condition, a commercial
restaurant was on the property.
Description of the Proposed Action
Boat ramp:--One single lane 60.0' x 16' reinforced concrete boat ramp will be
constructed adjacent to where the existing sand boat launch is located. Approximately 60 yd3 of
material below normal high water level (NHW) will be excavated during construction of the boat
ramp in order to achieve proper boat launching depth. Maximum dredging depth will be reached
at approximately 30' beyond existing bulkhead and it will not exceed 4' below NLW. Substrate
beyond maximum dredging depth will be sloped to existing grade. There is no fill other than
construction materials proposed for this project.
Breakwaters and Bulkheads:--Two 60' x 1.5' vinyl walls will be constructed adjacent to
the concrete ramp. The walls will act as bulkheads until they connect with the exisiting
bulkhead, and then 2" slots will be cut from where the existing bottom meets the wall to above
MHW to allow for fish and other animal passage.
Pier:--One 60' x 6' fixed wooden pier will be constructed between the breakwaters, on
the northern side of the ramp. The pier will be used to assist with the launching and retrieving of
boats at the access area.
Walkway:--One 120' x 4' fixed wooden walkway will be constructed between the
maneuvering area apron and the existing wood dock. This will allow easy access from the dock
to the maneuvering area in the event that boats need to que at the existing dock.
Environmental Impacts from the Proposed Action
Terrestrial:-- Because the majority of the project area is currently heavily developed,
direct impacts to terrestrial species will be negligible, and no upland or riparian habitats will be
altered. Currently, human activity in the proximity of the project area includes private boat
ramps, a marina, breakwaters, bulkhead shorelines and residential dwellings. The existing boat
launch is currently moderately used. Locations of the proposed boat ramp, breakwaters, and pier
were selected to minimize impacts to aquatic resources and associated habitat. Noise levels will
increase as construction equipment (bulldozer, backhoe, and trackhoe) is used to improve the
access area. However, such adverse impacts will be short-term and will not exceed levels
currently found on construction sites utilizing similar equipment.
Socio-economic:--Socio-economic impacts of the project site are generally regarded as
positive since availability of the access area will result in greater use of commercial businesses in
the immediate vicinity. Due to the location of this project site within a residential community,
improvement of the access area may increase property values in the surrounding area as a greater
variety of boats will be able to gain access to Masonboro Sound and the AICW.
Mitigation for Unavoidable Environmental Impacts
Terrestrial and Aquatic Resources:--Due to the developed nature of the project site, direct
environmental impacts from this project will be minimal as a gravel parking lot, stone
maneuvering area, wooden pier, and sand boat launch already exist on location. No increases in
impervious surface or stormwater runoff are expected after the proposed facility is constructed.
The placement of erosion control stone beneath the boat ramp will provide hard substrate
not presently available in the project area. These areas may be colonized to some extent by
various aquatic organisms tolerant of the characteristics of the altered habitat. Small fish species
may also utilize the stone rip-rap as cover from predators.
To minimize localized turbidity after project completion, a no-wake zone will be
established within 50 yards of the access area.
Summary
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission is proposing to build an improved
boating access area located at the end of Trails End Road, Wilmington, New Hanover County.
Due to the developed conditions of the surrounding community, no upland habitat will be altered
to accommodate the proposed access area. The majority of the project area is currently heavily
developed with private boat ramps, breakwaters and dwellings. Total area to be excavated
during construction of one single lane concrete ramp, two vinyl breakwaters, and one fixed pier
courtesy dock include 60 yd3 below normal high water level. Locations of proposed boat ramp,
breakwaters, and pier were selected to minimized impacts to aquatic habitat. There is no fill
material proposed for this project except construction materials.
Benefits from the access area include increased public recreational opportunity on
Masonboro Sound and the AICW. A developed facility on Trails End Road will help alleviate
overcrowding at surrounding boat launches. It is anticipated that the boat ramp will receive
increased utilization immediately after completion. Use of the access area will benefit the local
economy as fishermen and recreational boaters patronize commercial businesses in the vicinity of
the project area. Due to the developed community surrounding the existing boat launch, this
project will have minimum impacts on aquatic and terrestrial resources.
