PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project site is located adjacent to the Cape Fear River on Secondary Road 1100, directly north of the intersection with Cathay Road. The planned project is a public estuarine beach access, with restroom and parking facilities, and a pier for water access. The waters of the Cape Fear River are classified SA, are not classified Primary Nursery Area, and are closed to shellfishing. The site consists of 11.7 acres, 2.2 acres of which will be disturbed. All fill and impervious coverage have been limited to the upland area. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404 wetlands have been delineated and surveyed. The proposed project consists of a stone roadway, utilizing the existing sand roadbed. This will run for approximately 11001, from River Road, stopping 75' short of mhw. The road will be approximately 20' wide, and will fill approximately 22,000 s.f. of highground. This area is vegetated primarily with yucca, pines and oaks. There will be four parking areas providing parking for 40 vehicles. The areas are to be constructed in the same terrain as the road, and are to be paved. Three lots will be 30' x 120' in size, and one will be 30' x 1801. These will also be landward the 75' Estuarine Shoreline AEC. There will be restroom facilities west of the first parking lot. This facility will be serviced by a well and septic system. The total impervious area (including gravel), is 37,974 square feet, and is outside of all wetlands. Total fill is expected to be 350 cubic yards. Stormwater will be allowed to sheetflow. There will be picnic areas provided in the open spaces. All facilities will be handicapped accessible. Beginning at the last parking lot there will be an elevated pier. This crosses highground for approximately 50' before crossing an area of designated 404 wetlands (Ilex spp., Iva frutescens, mixed oaks) for approximately 25' - 301. It then crosses an area of homogenous Spartina cynosoroides for approximately 801. The pier reaches a small berm of Hollies, Oaks and pines for approximately 551. The pier will then cross Juncus roemerianus for approximately 25' before reaching open water. It will extend approximately 50' into open water. This pier will provide no permanent mooring and will be elevated for its entirety. The structure will be 6' wide, and will terminate in approximately -1' mlw. Please type or print.

RIVER ROAD PARK NARRATIVE New Hanover County, with money from the State of North Carolina, proposes to build a regional estuarine access in southern New Hanover County on River Road (S.R. 1100) in the vicinity of Beau Rivage Plantation. The facility will provide parking and access to the Cape Fear River for public use. The plan consist of constructing four (4) parking areas capable of holding 40 vehicles. Also, a public toilet facility with septic disposal per the New Hanover County Environmental Health Department. In addition, a boardwalk and pier is proposed to provide access to a riverview. The 11.7 acre tract consist of 4.5 acres of wetlands. The County proposes to limit disturbance to 2.2 acres of the remaining high ground to construct the planned improvements. Approximately 37,974 square feet (.87 acre) will be rendered impervious by covering the earth with ABC stone or structure. No direct storm water runoff is planned. yl , i? r R? RIVER ROAD PARK CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE Upon receiving approval and permits from the State, the County will start immediately. The following sequence will be followed: (1) Erosion control measures will be installed prior to any grading. Measures consist of a construction exit per the enclosed detail and approximately 200 feet of silt fence to be installed where shown in the site plan and as shown per the enclosed detail. A vegetated buffer will remain over the rest of the project. (2) The roadway and parking areas will then be stripped of all vegetation. (3) The roadway for approximately 200 feet, from River Road, will be cut 2 feet (approximate 300 cubic yards). One foot of clay will be graded and compacted over this stretch of roadway for suitable subgrade. The sand and stripping will be stock piled where (approximate 150 cubic yards) shown on the plans. (4) The parking areas will be graded to match roadway grade. Parking areas #2 and #3 will require approximately 200 cubic yards of fill. (5) The septic system and public facility will be built. (6) The boardwalk and pier will be constructed from treated wood and will be pervious. The pier will meet the following requirements: Is not within 150 feet of the edge of a federally-maintained channel. Is 200 feet or less in total length off shore. Does not extend past the four foot mean low water contour line (four foot depth at mean low water) at the end of the pier. - Has a maximum width of six feet. - Does not include an enclosed structure. - If a T-section is constructed on the pier, it will be 500 square feet or less and located over open water not marsh. - Does not interfere with established navigation rights of other users of the water body. t Will not be closer than 15 feet from the property's V? corridor Must be for ?p use only.. C- 11 - A building permit must be ob ned from the New Hanover County Inspection Department. - The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers must be notified as to the nature of the work and permit requirements. Piers shall not extend beyond the established pier length along the same shoreline for similar use, and in no case extend more than one-third of the width of a natural water body or man-made canal or basin. Adjoining riparian property owners must be notified of the proposed construction and asked to reply in writing that they have no objections to the work. Please list the names and addresses of the adjacent riparian property owners. **See Major C.A.M.A. Permit Application for adjacent property owners. (7) The site will be stabilized as finished grade is completed (see attached seeding specifications). yti e ti DEC ?? .. UV' RIVER ROAD PARK SUMMARY The proposed park will be started upon receipt of necessary approvals. The project will consist of approximately 9300 square feet of stone or impervious surface within the seventy-five foot C.A.M.A. jurisdiction area as measured from the Corps of Engineers wetlands limit (not M.H.W.), and 37,974 square foot (.87 acre) total. A pervious boardwalk and pier will be constructed as well as a restroom facility with a septic system. The entire site will be stabilized during construction and upon completion of total project. 4 DEC 1°?l I L r, L; L, • :, + ? ,ter+,?r?q? 1991 '.

Construction Specifications APPLICATION OF ORGANIC MULCH ,; f1 Straw mulch will be used where specified at a rate of one to two tors per acre (only one bale.will be necessary). Spread mulch uniformly by hand or with spreading straw mulch by hand, dividl the sections of approximately 1,000 feet and (1 1/2 to 2 bales) in each section distribution. Af ter spreading mulch, no ground surface should be visible. a mulch blower. When, area to be mulched into place 70-90 pound of straw to facilitate uniform more than 25% of the ANCHORING ORGANIC MULCH Straw mulch will be anchored immediately after spreading. Jute netting will be the method used to anchor the mulch. INSTALLATION OF NETTING AND MATTING Products designed to control erosion should be installed in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. Any mat or blanket-type product used as a protective mulch should provide cover of at•least 30% of the surface where it is applied. 1. Apply lime, fertilizer and seed before laying the net. 2. Start laying the net from the top-of the slope and unroll it down the grade. Allow netting to lay'loosely on the soil but without wrinkles--do not stretch. 3. To secure the net, bury the upslope end in a slot or trench no less than six (6) inches deep, cover with soil, and tamp firmly. Staple the net every 12 inches across the top end and every three (3) feet around the edges and bottom. Where two (2) strips of net are laid side by side, the adjacent edges should be overlapped three (3) inches and stapled together. Each strip of netting should also be stapled down the center, every three (3) feet. Do not stretch the net when applying staples. 4. To join two strips, cut a trench to anchor the end of the new net. Overlap the end of the previous roll 18 inches, and staple every 12 inches just below the anchor slot. Maintenance ;Inspect all mulches periodically, and after rainstorms to check -for rill erosion, dislocation, or failure. Where erosion is observed, apply additional mulch. If washout occurs, repair the slope grade, reseed, and reinstall mulch. Continue inspections until vegetation is firmly established.
