PROJECT SETTING
Jeffrey Dowdy owns a 13 acre tract at 473 Jarvisburg Road in Powells Point, Currituck County,
adjacent to the Currituck Sound. The 180 feet by 3200 feet parcel fronts the Sound for a distance
of 190 linear feet. A 3200 feet long ditch/canal system extending from Jarvisburg Road to
Currituck Sound lies within the northernmost 25 feet of Mr. Dowdy's lot.
To access the site, turn east off U.S. Highway 158 onto Buster Newbern Road (SR 1121). After
traveling 7/10 of a mile, turn left onto Jarvisburg Road (SR 1118). After driving 6/10 of a mile,
turn right (east) onto the 10 feet soil driveway at 473 Jarvisburg Road. Follow the soil path
created atop the old spoil berm located on the south side of the canal. The project area lies within
a 50 feet by 70 feet basin adjacent of the south side of the canal, and 400 linear feet of the canal
lying between the basin and Currituck Sound.
Man-made features noted on the tract include a single-family dwelling, two sheds, a boat basin, a
15 feet wide canal, and a 90 feet pier and 400 square feet platform. Elevation ranges 1.0 foot to
4.0 feet above mean sea level. Vegetation noted growing on the site includes Salt Reed Grass
(Spartina cynosuroides), Saw Grass (Cladium jamaicense), Black Needlerush (Juncus
roemerianus), Salt Meadow Grass (Spartina Patens), Soft Rush (Juncus effusus), Common Reed
(Phragmites australis), Wax Myrtle (Myrica cerifera), and Loblolly Pine (Pious taeda).
The waters of the Currituck Sound, in the vicinity of the project, are classified as SC by the NC
Environmental Management Commission. These waters are classified as Joint Waters by the NC
Marine Fisheries Commission and NC Wildlife Resources Commission, and as Estuarine/Public
Trust Waters by the NC Coastal Resources Commission. Water depths within the boat basin and
canal range 1.2 feet to 1.6 feet at NWL. Water depth within the Currituck Sound access channel
(connecting depth) measures 3.0 feet at NWL. The presence of two square feet of Widgeon grass
(Ruppia maritima) was noted near the mouth of the canal. The presence of shellfish or finfish
resources was not observed during the site inspection. Review of available information suggests
that there are no known archeological sites or geological formations associated with the site.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
• Use an excavator to maintenance excavate 144 cubic yards of silt/sand from a 7 feet by 395
feet area of canal bottom with an existing depth of 1.6 feet at NWL to a final depth of 3.0
feet at NWL.
• Widen the canal an additional 5 feet by excavating 278 cubic yards of material from a 5 feet
by 300 feet area of High Ground located on the south bank of the canal. The existing bank
elevation of 2.0 feet above NWL will be excavated to a final depth of 3.0 feet below
NWL.
FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT
JEFFREY DOWDY
PAGE #3
• Excavate 233 cubic yards of silt/sand from the 50 feet by 70 feet basin with an existing
depth of 1.2 feet at NWL to a final depth of 3.0 feet at NWL.
• Excavate 36 cubic yards of sandy material within an 80 feet by 12 feet wide access channel
with an existing average depth of 2.0 feet at NWL to a final depth of 3.0 feet at NWL.
• Place 690 cubic yards of spoil material within a 6,410 square feet spoil disposal area
located-east of the basin and south of the canal. The spoil disposal area will be located
landward of the 30 feet buffer and the material will be contained by silt fence.
• Construct 550 linear feet of bulkhead around the basin and along the south side of the
widened canal. The alignment will follow the NWL and dewatered spoil material will be
used as backfill.
• Install a 3' feet by 155 feet long section of riprap along the shoreline of the Currituck
Sound in order to provide protection for Coastal Wetlands located south of the mouth of
the canal.
ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
• Mechanical dredging within the canal, basin, and access channel will eliminate 7,225
square feet of Estuarine/Public Trust Shallow-Water Habitat.
• The excavation of the 5 feet wide area of the south side of the canal will disturb 1500
square feet of High Ground located within the 30 feet buffer.
• The installation of deadmen and filling activities associated with the 550 linear feet of
bulkhead will disturb 8,250 square feet of High Ground within the 30 feet buffer.
• The placement of material within the fenced spoil retention area will disturb 6,410 square
feet of High Ground located outside the 30 feet buffer area.
• The placement of a 3 feet wide section of riprap along 155 linear feet of shoreline will
eliminate 465 square feet of Estuarine/Public Trust Shallow-Water Habitat.
• Dredging within the canal will eliminate 2 square feet of submerged aquatic vegetation.

• Install Rip Rap to protect a high quality coastal wetland vegetation stand along the Currituck Sound
shoreline from erosion.
This project represents is a revised submittal of the CAMA Major application to reflect the applicant's
desire to improve boating access to the property and stabilize the shoreline. This revised submittal also
adds the shoreline stabilization of the eastern shoreline (by rip rap) to the application to protect a high
quality coastal wetland vegetation stand along a peat shoreline from further erosion.
ACCESS CHANNEL, CANAL AND BOAT BASIN MAINTENANCE
The proposed project consists of maintenance dredging an 80 ft X 12 ft access channel, re-dredging 395 ft
X 7 feet on the south side of the center line of the existing canal, excavating 300 feet X 5 ft section of
highground and re-dredging an existing basin, to a proposed depth of -3.0 feet. The dredging will be
accomplished on the south side of the existing canal to maintain all activities clearly on the applicant's
property. This will include 7 feet of dredging south of the centerline also 5 feet of highground excavation
extending south into the property. This will result in a total navigable width of 12 feet to allow safe
navigation from the boat basin to the Currituck Sound. The dredging activities will promote flushing of the
canal and basin and allow for navigation for small to medium outboard vessels and skiffs.
The existing boat basin will dredged to -3.0 feet to maintain navigable depths for dockage and to provide a
turn around area for vessels. The basin currently has depths of an average of 1.2 feet.
The spoil dewatering area will be contained by a silt fence to prevent siltation of the surface waters and
adjacent wetland areas. The spoil will be adequately dewatered prior to use as bulkhead backfill.
Geotextile material will be utilized on the landward side of the bulkhead to prevent siltation of surface
waters from backfill activities. The spoil area and backfill area will be seeded and stabilized within 15 days
and stabilized soon after land disturbing activities have ceased.
Access Channel: 80 ft x 12 ft x 1.0 ft = 35.5 CY (below NWL)
Canal Dredging activities: 395 ft x 7 ft x 1.4 ft of canal substrate = 143.4 CY (Below NWL)
Highground Excavation: 300 ft x 5 feet x 5.0 ft in uplands = 277.7 CY
Boat Basin: 50 ft x 70 ft x 1.8 ft basin substrate = 233.3 CY (Below NWL)

SHORELINE STABILIZATION
JAN 1 4 Moo
A
The applicant proposes to stabilize the shoreline along the boat basin, canal and Currituck Sound Shoreline.
Highground occurs along all proposed bulkhead areas and rip rap will be installed in front of the wetland
areas adjacent to the NWL. A high quality coastal wetland stand exists along the south side of the
applicants property and will be protected from further erosion by the proposed rip rap. Approximately 3
feet of Currituck Sound side of the shoreline has been lost in the last 12 months and the applicant requests
the rip rap to prevent further erosion. A wooden bulkhead will be constructed as shown on the plat.
Wooden Bulkhead: 580 LF total (treated wood)
550LF along post dredged NWL of canal and basin and Currituck Sound
with TWO (2 )-- 15 ft return walls
Rip Rap: 155 LF a 5 x 3 feet total
Below NWL: 155 LF x 5 ft x 1 ft = 28.7 CY
