PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to construct a wetlands area, a bulkhead, an elevated boardwalk, and a pier for use by the visitors to the Tryon Palace Historic Sites and Gardens. MELT) INVESTIGA'T'ION REPORT: TRYON PALACE HIS'T'ORIC ST"JT S AND GAI:DENS PAGE 112 9. NARRATIVE, DESCRIPTION: Phase I of this project was approved under LAMA IMajor Permit 118-02. Project. Setting The proposed project is located on two tracts of land in the City of New Bern, Craven County. The properties have been purchased by the State of North Carolina to become the Tryon Palace Historic Sites and Gardens History, Education, and Visitor Center. The main project area was formerly the Barbour Boat Works site and is a 6.472 acre parcel located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Metcalf Street and South Front Street and is bordered to the south by the Trent River. The main project site rises approximately 4' in elevation above the normal water level. The site is predominantly void of vegetation and the surface of the site is composed of dirt and gravel left from its former use as an industrial site. The applicant applied for and received CAMA Major Permit ##8-02 to conduct Phase I of a multi-phase project towards the goal of establishing the History, Education, and Visitor Center at the main project site. Under Phase I of the project, the industrial site was remediated of pollutants and multiple underwater structures were removed. A bulkhead remains along the western and southern boundary of the property at its juncture with the Trent River. An area of open water basin approximately 45 feet wide by 70 feet in length, extends inland into the high ground where a boat ramp formerly existed. The property is bordered on the east by the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad property. The secondary project area is an 0.551 acre offsite parcel located approximately 500 feet to the west of the main parcel. The offsite parcel is more specifically located at the southwest corner of Tryon Palace Drive and South Front Street and is also bordered by the Trent River. The secondary or offsite project area is undeveloped. The offsite parcel is similar in elevation to the main parcel with elevations in the Y- 5' range above the normal water level. The site is predominantly covered in sod grass with a few cedar, cypress, and pecan trees found near the shoreline. Also adjacent to the shoreline is an area approximately 5 feet wide by 40 feet in length that is dominated by Carex sue. The shoreline to the west of the property is currently not stabilized, however, the shoreline to the east is bulkheaded. The main and secondary project areas have a combined shoreline length of 910'. The project is located within the City of New Bern's Historic District and is classified as "Developed" and "Conservation" within the Estuarine Shoreline, Estuarine Water, and Public Trust Area AECs. The Trent River is classified as SB Swamp Nutrient Sensitive Water in the project area and is closed to the harvesting of shellfish. The Trent River is not considered a Primary Nursery Area and no submerged aquatic vegetation was observed in the project's vicinity. Water depths in the area of the project drop off steadily to approximately -10' below the normal water level. The river is approximately 1800' wide in the project vicinity. Project Proposal The applicant proposes to conduct Phase II activities of the project. Phase II will consist of the construction of a primary and secondary stormwater wetlands area, a bulkhead, an elevated boardwalk, a pier, a temporary construction entrance, and a culvert. The applicant proposes to construct a stormwater wetland area on the main project area to capture and treat the stormwater from 2.5 acres of the 6.472 acre site as well as a portion of the runoff from the 30" Metcalf Street FIELD INVESTIGATION REPOR'C: TRYON PALACE HISTORIC SITES AND GARDEN'S PAGE, 413 stormdrain outfall. ']'his will include the construction of two culverts, two sediment forebays, two low flow connective channels, stormwater open water area, stormwater wetland vegetated area, two outlet micropools and a retaining wall to contain the wetland flows. Approximately 108,755 square feet of the high ground portion of this site will be graded from the current average clcvation of 4' above NWL to an average of V above NWL with the area adjacent to the wetland bulkhead to he graded as low as -1' below NWL. This grading will allow for proper directional flow and retention of incoming stormwater. Wax myrtle, swamp cyrilla, bald cypress, soft rush, pickerel weed, yellow flag iris, and big cord grass will be planted within the stormwater wetlands area to increase the nutrient and total suspended solids reduction of the wetlands. A 502 feet section of the existing bulkhead along the Trent River will be replaced with a new bulkhead. The bulkhead will be placed immediately landward of the existing bulkhead with the exception of a 165' section. The 165' bulkhead section is proposed to be typically less than 5' waterward of the NWL, however, it is proposed waterward of the 45' x 70' boat ramp basin such that the basin would be filled in and reclaimed as high ground. A retaining wall 764 feet in total length is proposed within and around the stormwater wetland area to contain the wetland and associated water and to separate the Trent River from the stormwater wetlands. A 5' x 54' section of riprap is proposed immediately waterward of the outlet micro-pool for energy dissipation. A 10' wide by 168' long elevated walkway over the stormwater wetlands area is proposed to lead to a 27' x 27' gazebo, which would extend out 11' over the Trent River and 7.35' over the NCDOT Right of Way. A second elevated walkway 10' wide by 75' long would lead from the first gazebo to a second gazebo 27' x 27' over the stormwater wetlands. The elevated walkway would continue from the second gazebo for another 90' back to high ground to allow for a continues flow of foot traffic though the wetland area. A 17' wide by 45' long pier over the Trent River is proposed to lead to a 26' x 33' gazebo, from which a 17' wide x 14' long section of pier would continue out into the river such that the end of the pier would terminate at 92' out from the shoreline. No boatslips are proposed along either the pier or the gazebo adjacent to the boardwalk. The applicant also proposes to install 558' of 24" diameter outfall pipe from the 30" Metcalf Street stormdrain outfall to the secondary project area to channel stormwater flows to the offsite wetland area. At the secondary project area the applicant proposes to construct a sediment forebay, a stormwater wetland vegetated area, a low flow channel, and an outlet micro-pool. Appoximately 23,347 square feet of high ground and 200 square feet of vegetated wetlands will be graded from the current average elevation of 4' above NWL to approximately even with the NWL. Big cord grass will be planted within the stormwater wetlands area to increase the nutrient and total suspended solids reduction of the wetlands. A 125' bulkhead is proposed at die normal water level to contain the stormwater wetland with a 5' x 54' section of riprap waterward of the outlet micro-pool area. Anticipated Impacts As proposed the bulkhead will require 420 cubic yards of backfill to fill 3,780 square feet of shallow water bottom. Sand from an upland source is proposed for backfill. The proposed riprap will fill 540 square feet of shallow water bottom and will require 78 cubic yards of riprap. Approximately 200 square feet of existing vegetated wetlands will be regraded and incorporated into the offsite stormwater wetlands area. As proposed the project would impact 137,682 sq. ft. of high ground, of which 4,077 sq. ft. would be new impervious surface. This equates to less than 517o FIEU) INVESTIGATION ILEPOXF.- TRYON PALACE DISTORT(" SITES AND GARDENS PAC.F, It4 impervious area in the AF' Cs, less than No total impervious for the site, and will be a net decrease in the impervious surfaces oir the site as compared to that which existed prior to the project initiation. Construction of the stormwater wctlau_ds will require the disturbance of 137,882 square feel. of ground and will require adequate sediment and erosion control measures to ensure protection of the adjacent waterbody. The pier and gazebos would usurp 2,158 sq. ft. of Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Areas of the Trent Diver and would shade 2,158 sq. ft. of shallow water habitat as proposed. 'The boardwalk gazebo would extend out 11' beyond the NWL, while the pier would extend out from the NWL 92 feet, which is well within the length range of other piers along the Trent River. Localized turbidity impacts are expected during the in-water construction portions of the project. Submitted by: Stephen Lane -iVlorehead City District - October 28, 2005 J.

The site was formerly the Barbour Boat Works site, which is bound by South Front Street to the north, Metcalf Street to the east and the Trent River to the south. The Barbour Boat Works site is a 6.472 acre total / 5.289 acre high ground parcel with extensive frontage on the Trent River in the New Bern, NC downtown historic district. The site was formerly used for industrial activities associated with the Barbour Boat Works company. The site was purchased by the State of North Carolina in 1997 to become the future Tryon Palace Historic Site and Gardens History Education and Visitor Center. As shown on the plans, the construction of an onsite extended detention stormwater wetland and an offsite stormwater wetland is proposed as the first step in a comprehensive site stormwater treatment plan for the future Tryon Palace History, Education & Visitors Center. The onsite stormwater wetlands will treat a portion of on-site stormwater runoff, provide diversity in the overall site stormwater plan, provide. an aesthetically pleasing component to the landscape, as well as provide an opportunity for stormwater treatment education for the public. Cl C; SITE DESCRIPTION A14D INFORMATION: As mentioned above, improvements will take place on the site as shown on the attached plans. The site was formerly used for industrial activities associated with the Barbour Boat Works company. The site is cleared of trees and vegetation. Grades on the site range from 0.10% to 2.00%. The stormwater runoff frorn the undeveloped site currently sheet flows to the river. CAMA MAJOR PERMIT SUK11TTAL - PHASE II: Phase II activities will include removing and replacing the existing site bulkhead along the Trent River, construction of pilings and piers, shoreline stabilization and construction of stormwater wetlands. EROSION CONTROL MEASURES: The attached plans and specifications give the requirements for erosion control measures. Silt fence will be installed on the site prior to grading as shown on the attached plans. Erosion control measures will be installed around the drop inlets as shown on the plans to trap silt during construction. Inspect the erosion control around the inlets after each rain to make repairs as needed. Remove sediment as necessary to provide adequate storage volume for subsequent rains. When the contributing drainage area has been adequately stabilized, remove all materials and any unsuitable soil and either salvage or dispose of it properly. Bring the disturbed area to proper grade, then smooth and compact it. Appropriately stabilize all bare areas around the drop inlets. A gravel construction entrance will be provided as noted on the plans. Maintain the gravel construction entrance in a condition to prevent mud or sediment from leaving the site. Additional erosion control measures associated with the site bulkhead removal replacement will include the use of a floating turbidity curtain with weights to control silt and sediment migration. Materials being demolished and excavated will include wood, steel, concrete and silt and sand. The demolished and excavated materials will be disposed of legally in an EPA and State approved landfill. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT MEASURES: The project site is located within Craven County, North Carolina. Land disturbing on the site will exceed one acre, which requires the site to comply with the NC DENR State Stormwater Regulations. In addition, the site will also have to comply with the City of New Bern Stormwater Ordinance. Design standards as defined in the NCDENR, Division of Water Quality, Stormwater BMP Manual and the City of New Bern Storm Water l• ij R. Management Manual have been used for proposed storm ;atgr, wetland design, dimension, and function. The drainage area for the onsite stormwater wetland is 2.50 acres. The 2.50 acres is a portion of the 6.47 acre / 5.289 acre Barbour Boat Works site / future History Education & Visitor's Center. Future stormwater management measures for the remaining portion of the site will consist of bio-retention areas and additional stormwater wetlands which will be designed and permitted at a later date with the History Education & Visitor's Center. The onsite wetland will have a sediment forebay, an open water pond micro- pool, and a low-flow connective channel. These features will be excavated to the dimensions and grades shown on the Construction Drawings. The onsite wetland area will be defined with a concrete bulkhead along the site frontage and a sheet pile bulkhead around the perimeter. Additionally, the wetland will be constructed with both a primary and an emergency spillway. A series of draw down orifices will be installed to allow for the regulation of Normal Pool within the wetland, draw down of the temporary water quality pool, and a control of post-development peak discharge from the 2.50- acre site drainage area. The onsite wetland will treat site storm water through the removal of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) as well as serve to treat storm water for the reduction of Total Nitrogen (TN). The design has been performed based on guidance provided in the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR), Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Best Management Practices (BMP) manual. Based on the BMP manual, an extended detention wetland is assumed to have a Total Suspended Solids (TSS) removal efficiency of 85 percent. Similar to a wet detention basin, a detention time of two to five days for the 1" storm event is required to meet this level of efficiency. Discharge from the stormwater wetland will outfall to a perimeter offsite stormwater wetland. This perimeter offsite wetland in conjunction with a similarly constructed offsite wetland, further to the west, will serve to treat a portion of stormwater discharge from the existing 30" Metcalf Street stormdrain pipe. This discharge currently enters the Trent River untreated. With the installation of the two offsite perimeter wetlands, a portion of the discharge from the pipe will be treated to a level previously unseen in this watershed. This treatment of discharge from the Metcalf Street pipe was required as part of funding received from the Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF). The scope of the Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF) portion of the site development includes; 1) design and construction of stormwater wetlands to detain and treat runoff from the proposed future developed site, 2) design and construction of a stormwater treatment system to treat a portion of runoff from the 30" Metcalf Street stormdrain pipe prior to entering the Trent River, and 3) design and construction of at least 800 feet of permanent vegetated buffers along the shoreline associated with the project. The proposed stormwater wetlands have been designed and will be constructed to comply with the requirements of the Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF) grant. ' ?11 An additional benefit of the proposed extended detention stormwater wetlands is the j ; 1 removal of total nitrogen (1"N). According to the Neuse River Basin: Model Storrriwater. Program for Nitrogen Control, dated August 30, 1999, constructed wetlands are currently considered to remove 40 percent of the TN from storm water inflow. Stormwater wetlands are cited as having the highest TN removal rates of any of the comrr?only accepted stormwater Best Management Practices (BMP) currently in use. A similar removal efficiency is described in the New Bern manual. Treatment of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) is not particularly a problem of highly impervious sites and can be accomplished relatively easily through the design and construction of Best Management Practices (BMP's) in accordance with the accepted design standards Best Management Practices (BMP) manual. However, based on high impervious percentage associate with this project, total nitrogen (TN) removal requires a further treatment (such as additional BMP's). In this case, in order to achieve the desired level of treatment of total nitrogen (TN), the stormwater wetland was oversized to roughly three times the required surface area. Treatment of both Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and total nitrogen (TN) is a function of surface area. The design increases the overall footprint of the wetland in order to provide sufficient treatment. CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE: The contractor will install the gravel construction entrances, silt fence and other erosion control measures specified as required prior to beginning any grading operations. Disturbed areas will be landscaped or stabilized within 15 days of disturbance. ,a MAINTENANCE PLAN 1. All erosion and sediment control practices will be checked for stability and operation following every runoff-producing rainfall but in no case less than once every week. Any needed repairs will be made immediately to maintain all practices as designed. 2. Install erosion control measures before beginning construction or as soon thereafter as possible. All erosion and sediment control practices will be checked for stability and operation following every runoff-producing rainfall but in no case less than once every week. Any needed repairs will be made immediately to maintain all practices as designed. 3.
