FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT - RIVER EMPORR M/RONALD O. WATSON,
ONSLOW COUNTY
PAGE #2
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The River Emporium General Store was constructed
in late 1989 by the applicant, Mr. Ronald O. Watson of Emerald Isle. Onslow County
issued Minor CAMA Permit #88-0068 that authorized construction of the two-story
building with parking lot as seem at the site today. The workplat drawing that
accompanies the application accurately illustrates and depicts the footprint of all
existing development on this 0.62 acre tract of land located on the north side of
Highway 24, between Elm and Water Streets, in the Town of Swansboro, Onslow
County, NC. As part of the original development, the shoreline (approximately 175')
was bulkheaded through the CAMA General Permit procedures.
At this time, the applicant is proposing to . construct 10 boat slips immediately
perpendicular to the existing bulkhead by installing 5 finger piers (25' x 3') and 14
mooring piles as shown on the drawing dated September 15, 1992. As the application
states under Question 3d, the proposed slips will be for private use of individual
owners and renters within the River Emporium and will not be a public facility for
commercial use. Water depth readings at the project site indicate that the proposed
structures will not impede public navigation in the center third of the access channel
that services the area. The 'SA' surface waters in this section of the White Oak River
are permanently closed to the harvesting of shellfish.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The proposed 5 finger piers/10 boat slips with mooring
piles will occupy approximately 4,375 sq. ft. of estuarine surface waters and public
trust area in the White Oak River. The Division of Environmental Management
classifies the surface waters as 'SA' and they are closed to shellfishing. This section
of the White Oak River is not a designated Primary Nursery Area or an Outstanding
Resource Water. No other 10 slip community docks exist in this area of Swansboro.

ONSLOW COUNTY
PAGE #2
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The River Emporium General Store was constructed
in late 1989 by the applicant, Mr. Ronald O. Watson of Emerald Isle. Onslow County
issued Minor CAMA Permit #88-0068 that authorized construction of the two-story
building with parking lot as seem at the site today. The workplat drawing that
accompanies the application accurately illustrates and depicts the footprint of all
existing development on this 0.62 acre tract of land located on the north side of
Highway 24, between Elm and Water Streets, in the Town of Swansboro, Onslow
County, NC. As part of the original development, the shoreline (approximately 175')
was bulkheaded through the CAMA General Permit procedures.
At this time, the applicant is proposing to construct 10 boat slips immediately
perpendicular to the existing bulkhead by installing 5 finger piers (25' x 3') and 14
mooring piles as shown on the drawing dated September 15, 1992. As the application
states under Question 3d, the proposed slips will be for private use of individual
owners and renters within the River Emporium and will not be a public facility for
commercial use. Water depth readings at the project site indicate that the proposed
structures will not impede public navigation in the center third of the access channel
that services the area. The 'SA' surface waters in this section of the White Oak River
are permanently closed to the harvesting of shellfish.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The proposed 5 finger piers/10 boat slips with mooring
piles will occupy approximately 4,375 sq. ft. of estuarine surface waters and public
trust area in the White Oak River. The Division of Environmental Management
classifies the surface waters as 'SA' and they are closed to shellfishing. This section
of the White Oak River is not a designated Primary Nursery Area or an Outstanding
Resource Water. No other 10 slip community docks exist in this area of Swansboro.
