PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing a 600 space RV park (White Oak Shores) adjacent to the White Oak River near Stella. As an amenity to the park the applicant is proposing a 580' pier. The pier would have 10 boat slips, platforms for fishing, and a covered viewing platform. Field Investigation Report: White Oak Shores Page 02 9 Narrative Description: The White Oak Shores project is located on Wetherington Landing Road (SRI 101) near Stella in Carteret County. N.C. Hwy. 58 lies a few miles to the east of the site. The site is identifiable by the bathhouse for the RV Park located near the road. The White Oak River borders the site to the west. White Oak Shores is 115.62 acres in its entirety and varies from 0' to 28' in elevation above NHW, The high ground portion of the site is a previous sod farm and is vegetated with various upland grasses. The infrastructure for the RV Park is mostly in place. These facilities include the bathhouse, access roads, electricity service and on-site septic systems. Several RV's have already been "set-up" in the park. A strip of Section 404 Wetlands crosses the high ground and is approximately 900' wide. A portion of this wetland has been filled through the use of Nationwide Permit # 14 to allow for a road to access another highground hammock closer to the shoreline. On this section of highground there is a swimming pool, paved parking and more R V spaces. All work completed thus far lies outside of the 75' AEC. The shoreline has a wide fringe of coastal marsh that is both irregularly and regularly flooded. High marsh species include Cattail (Typha spp.) and Black Needle Rush (Juncus roemarianus). The regularly flooded low marsh consists of Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora). The low marsh has a series of mosquito control ditches that have been cut through the marsh. The shoreline on either side of the proposed project is similar in nature and undeveloped. This section of the White Oak River has been designated by the Division of Marine Fisheries as a Primary Nursery Area and the Division of Water Quality classifies it as SA waters. The area in which the proposed project would take place is closed to the taking of shellfish. Carteret County's Land Use Plan dated 1996 classifies this area as Rural with Services and Conservation. The Division of Land Resources approved the sedimentation and erosion control plan (CA-03029) on 11/25/02. The Stormwater Certification (SW8 020806) was approved 02/06/03. There are no shellfish leases in the area. The substrate in the area is mainly sand and mud. 10. Proiect Description: As an amenity to the RV Park, the applicant proposes to construct a 580' pier. The pier would have 10 boat slips, fishing platforms and a covered viewing platform. Also 12 mooring pilings would be installed. Extending from high ground, the proposed 6' wide dock would cross a fringe of high marsh before crossing 285' oflow marsh reaching open water. The 6' wide dock would continue over open water for 125' before widening to 10'. The 10' wide dock would continue for another 158'. Constructed on the end of the dock would be a 12' X 40' (480 ft2) covered viewing platform. Two 10' X 100' (1000 ft2 each) fishing platforms would branch off each side of the 10' wide dock. Inshore of the fishing platforms would be 10 boat slips. To aid in the docking of boats, 12 mooring pilings would be placed along the slips. Access to boat slips would be gained by a series of six finger piers that are 23' long each. Four of the finger piers would be 4' wide and two would be 8' wide. The proposed pier would extend a total of 580' into the White Oak River from the NHW. At this point the water is -5' at NL W. Riparian property lines would be greater than 500' from the pier. This project is not a Field Investigation Report: White Oak Shores Page 03 marina and there is not fuel or maintenance service. This is a community project to be used by White Oak Shores residents and their guests. The highground development for this project is mostly complete and is outside of the AEC. The 80 acre site was previously graded to allow for RV sites, access roads, utilities under road right of ways, LPP on-site septic systems and a swimming pool. The 20' wide roads will be paved and RV's will be connected to utilities at their space. 10. Anticipated Impacts: The proposed pier would result in a total of 10 slips. The potential exists for a large number of transient boaters to dock at this structure. Overboard discharge is possible from both permanent slips and from transient boaters. Temporary turbidity would result from the setting of the pilings. The proposed pier would shade 1,710 ft2 of vegetated wetlands and 5,296 ft2 of open water. The pier and boat slips would incorporate 13,160 ft2 of public trust area. A total of 80 acres would be disturbed during this project of which no impervious area will be within the AEC.

We would like to give you a quick overview of the project and why we feel this pier will be an important addition to our success, When all phases are completed we should have approximately 600 campsites available for the public to use. Approximately 3%-4% of these sites will be near or in a CAMA AEC. About 6% will be with 100 ft - 300 ft of a CAMA AEC. The remaining sites will be approximately 1500 ft to 3500 ft from any AEC. We have reserved most of our river front areas for leisure recreation, and enjoyment of the aesthetics and view the White Oak River offers. Our hope is to have a 50% occupancy thoughout most of the year, with higher percentages during prime season, which is between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Averaging 3 people per site this is 900 - 1200 people in the resort at any given time. We feel that 10% - 15% of these people will use a nice fishing pier at any given time. If you remove the Square footage of the 6 ft walk that gets you to the covered landing, this leaves about 3800 sq- ft of landing we are asking for that we feel is reasonable for the amount of traffic we expect. This averages out to about 30 sq-ft per person. This is approximately a 5 x 5 area to fish in. At times when fishing is at it's best there will obviously be many more people than average, and other times will be less people. Weare going to promote the fishing pier as a key feature to our resort and we feel the amount of space we are asking for is well within reason given the number of users. We have several thousand feet of river frontage and it is our hope to keep the remainder as undisturbed as possible; to be enjoyed by all who come. Please contact Robin Comer personally if any questions or concerns I can help address should arise. (252-725-0548) _..,----."

Any modification to these plans must be approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) prior to implementation. 2. The permittee understands and agrees that, if future operations by the United States require the removal, relocation, or other alteration, of the structure or work herein authorized, or if, in the opinion of the Secretary of the Army or his authorized representative, said structure or workishall cause unreasonable obstruction to the free navigation of the navigable waters, the permittee will be required, upon due notice from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, to remove, relocate, or alter the structural work or obstructions caused thereby, without expense to the United States. No claim shall be made against the United States on account of any such removal, relocation, or alteration. The permittee shall notify NOAA/NATIONAL OCEAN SERVICE Chietl Source Data Unit N CS261, 1315 E West HWY - RM 7316, Silver Spring, MD 20910- 3282 at least two weeks prior to beginning work and upon completion of work.

Except as authorized by this permit or any USACE approved modification to this permit, no excavation, fill or mechanized land-clearing activities shall take place at any time in'the constructipn or maintenance of this project, within waters or wetlands. This permit does not authorize temporary placement or double handling of excavated or fill material within waters or wetlands outside the permitted area. This prohibition applies to all borrow and fill activities connected with this project. 5.
