FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT

9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The applicant is Mr. John R. Townson. He
proposes to develop a shellfish hatchery on property located off of the Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW), south of SR1503, just east of Bear Creek, in Onslow
County, NC. The project site, a portion of a larger tract of land, consist of 0.68 acres
of highground (80' x 370) leased from the landowner, Ms. Gloria Sanders, of Crew
Lane, in Hubert, NC. The site has been used in the past as an accommodation for
dredged spoil disposal from maintenance activities that have taken place in the entrance
channel and canal of the subdivision immediately east of the proposed project. The
Division of Coastal Management issued Permit #247-84 in 1984 to Brown Sound
Properties/J. L. Ramsey authorizing, among other items, the placement of dredged
spoil on the Sanders' property. In 1989, the same spoil site was used as maintenance
dredging was authorized under General Permit #C-5121. The referenced aerial
photography from 1989 shows clearly the spoil site and the man-made waterway.
On the highground property, landward of the CAMA 75' AEC, the applicant proposes
to construct the hatchery building. The building will consist of a concrete slab 15'
wide x 55' long. The rib-supported structure will look much like a greenhouse
covered with clear plastic. Site preparations for the greenhouse will involve grading an
area 100' x 60' (or 6,000 sq. ft. of land-disturbance). Fill material for this site will
come. from the old disposal area immediately west of the building site. As noted, the
area will be stabilized with ground netting and Bermuda grass.
Within the CAMA 75' AEC, a series of intake and discharge pipes, a pump station and
a cooling tank will be installed. The applicant proposes a redundant system of piping
water to and from the hatchery. The intake pipes are shown to be 2" PVC and the
discharge pipes to be 6" corrugated black plastic. As the project plans show, the
pipeline will be anchored to the ground by nylon cord and 2' x 4' supports placed
every 20'. The proposed cooling tank will measure 30' x 10'. It is designed to
dissipate abnormal heat levels and ensure that the temperature of the discharge water
will not significantly impact estuarine life in this section of the AIWW.
The series of pipes will extend across a wide fringe (160') of coastal wetlands
dominated by saltmarsh cordgrass. The intake line #2 will intersect with a section of
highground where pump #2 will be located on an elevated platform 3' x 3'. Discharge
line #2 will branch 80' to the east of line #1 and terminate below the MLW level in the
man-made canal.
In the open-waters of the AIWW, the two intake lines will extend about 170'
waterward of the edge of the saltmarsh. As the workplat drawing shows, the two lines
will be spaced 30' apart. The #1 discharge line will be positioned between the two
intake lines and will extend 65' south of the marsh. The same 2' x 4' anchoring
r ,

PAGE
system will be used to hold the pipelines in position on the bottom. The water depths
leading from the edge of the marsh to the terminal ends of the intake pipes range from
.5' to 3.5' relative to the MLW level. The referenced aerial photographs help confirm
the applicant's estimate that the end of the intake pipes will be at least 100' from the
edge of the Federally maintained AIWW.
The surface waters in this section of the AIWW are classified 'SA' and are Qen to the
harvesting of shellfish. A review of the archeological resource date in the Morehead
City Field Office indicates that there are "known" sites in the vicinity of the proposed
project.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: As mentioned in the previous section of this report, the
intake pipes will be 2" in diameter and the discharge pipes 6" in diameter. The
pipelines will generate a collective footprint value of 140 sq. ft. in the saltmarsh and
94 sq. ft. of impact on the open-water bottom lands of the AIWW. The land-
disturbing activities involved with grading the highground hatchery will modify 7,200
sq. ft., as well as, an additional as yet undetermined area within the existing disposal
site. All areas of land-disturbance will be vegetatively stabilized. The anchoring
supports for the pipelines shall offer no more impact to the marsh and waterway than
the construction of a typical access pier of similar length. The Division of Archives
and History may choose to evaluate the importance of local resources and the impact
the proposed project may generate.

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT
PAGE
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The applicant is Mr. John R. Townson. He
proposes to develop a shellfish hatchery on property located off of the Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW), south of SR1503, just east of Bear Creek, in Onslow
County, NC. The project site, a portion of a larger tract of land, consist of 0.68 acres
of highground (80' x 370) leased from the landowner, Ms: Gloria Sanders, of Crew
Lane, in Hubert, NC. The site has been used in the past as an accommodation for
dredged spoil disposal from maintenance activities that have taken place in the entrance
channel and canal of the subdivision immediately east of the proposed project. The
Division of Coastal Management issued Permit #247-84 in 1984 to Brown Sound
Properties/J. L. Ramsey authorizing, among other items, the placement of dredged
spoil on the Sanders' property. In 1989, the same spoil site was used as maintenance
dredging was authorized under General Permit #C-5121. The referenced aerial
photography from 1989 shows clearly the spoil site and the man-made waterway.
On the highground property, landward of the CAMA 75' AEC, the applicant proposes
to construct the hatchery building. The building will consist of a concrete slab 15'
wide x 55' long. The rib-supported structure will look much like a greenhouse
covered with clear plastic. Site preparations for the greenhouse will involve grading an
area 100' x 60' (or 6,000 sq. ft. of land-disturbance). Fill material for this site will
come from the old disposal area immediately west of the building site. As noted, the
area will be stabilized with ground netting and Bermuda grass.
Within the CAMA 75' AEC, a series of intake and discharge pipes, a pump station and
a cooling tank will be installed. The applicant proposes a redundant system of piping
water to and from the hatchery. The intake pipes are shown to be 2" PVC and the
discharge pipes to be 6" corrugated black plastic. As the project plans show, the
pipeline will be anchored to the ground by nylon cord and 2' x 4' supports placed
every 20'. The proposed cooling tank will measure 30' x 10'. It is designed to
dissipate abnormal heat levels and ensure that the temperature of the discharge water
will not significantly impact estuarine life in this section of the AIWW.
The series of pipes will extend across a wide fringe (160') of coastal wetlands
dominated by saltmarsh cordgrass. The intake line #2 will intersect with a section of
highground where pump #2 will be located on an elevated platform 3' x 3'. Discharge
line #2 will branch 80' to the east of line #1 and terminate below the MLW level in the
man-made canal.
In the open-waters of the AIWW, the two intake lines will extend about 170'
waterward of the edge of the saltmarsh. As the workplat drawing shows, the two lines
will be spaced 30' apart. The #1 discharge line will be positioned between the two
intake lines and will extend 65' south of the marsh. The same 2' x 4' anchoring

PAGE 3
system will be used to hold the pipelines in position on the bottom. The water depths
leading from the edge of the marsh to the terminal ends of the intake pipes range from
.5' to 3.5' relative to the MLW level. The referenced aerial photographs help confirm
the applicant's estimate that the end of the intake pipes will be at least 100' from the
edge of the Federally maintained AIWW.
The surface waters in this section of the AIWW are classified 'SA' and are open to the
harvesting of shellfish. A review of the archeological resource date in the Morehead
City Field Office indicates that there are "known" sites in the vicinity of the proposed
project.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: As mentioned in the previous section of this report, the
intake pipes will be 2" in diameter and the discharge pipes 6" in diameter. The
pipelines will generate a collective footprint value of 140 sq. ft. in the saltmarsh and
94 sq. ft. of impact on the open-water bottom lands of the AIWW. The land-
disturbing activities involved with grading the highground hatchery will modify 7,200
sq. ft., as well as, an additional as yet undetermined area within the existing disposal
site. All areas of land-disturbance will be vegetatively stabilized. The anchoring
supports for the pipelines shall offer no more impact to the marsh and waterway than
the construction of a typical access pier of similar length. The Division of Archives
and History may choose to evaluate the importance of local resources and the impact
the proposed project may generate.
