JUN -3 1993 Reference the application of Mr. S. W. Stubbert for a Department of the Army permit to construct a pier with floating dock and boatlift structure on the Lockwood Folly River,(;?unsw`ick County, North Carolina.

We recommend that the following conditions be included in the State authorization: a. All work authorized by this permit must be performed in strict compliance with the permit plans. b. Neither the pier nor the floating dock will extend farther waterward than necessary to reach a depth of two feet at mean low water (MLW). c. This permit does not authorize the interference with any existing or proposed Federal project, and the permittee will not be entitled to compensation for damage or injury to the authorized structure or work which may be caused from existing or future operations undertaken by the United States in the public interest. d. No attempt will be made by the permittee to prevent the full and free use by the public of all navigable waters at or adjacent to the authorized work. Use of the permitted activity must not interfere with the public's right to free navigation on all navigable waters of the United States. e. The permittee must install and maintain, at his expense, any signal lights and signals prescribed by the U.S. Coast Guard, through regulations or otherwise, on authorized facilities. f. The permittee will maintain the authorized work in good condition and in conformance with the terms and conditions of this permit. The permittee is not relieved of this requirement if he abandons the permitted activity without having it transferred to a third party. -2- g. This permit does not authorize interference with any existing or proposed Federal project.

S. W. Stubbert Page 2 9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 4/2/93 The project area is a single-family residential lot (Lot 309), on River Road, in Lockwood Folly Subdivision, adjacent to the Lockwood Folly River, in Brunswick County. The lot is approximately 311 feet in depth, 125 feet wide adjacent the Lockwood Folly River, and 157 feet wide along River Road. The lot is currently vacant, wooded,primarily with live oak and pine, but the applicant is in the process of designing his private residence for subsequent construction on the lot. The highground area of the lot averages about 9.5 elevation M.S.L., and gradually slopes from the road toward the river. There is a low, wet area in the northeast corner of the lot that has been classified as federally regulated wetlands. This adjacent wetland pocket extends into the lot approximately 150 feet, and averages 50 feet in width. Coastal wetland plants, cat-tails (Tynha spp.) and saw-grass (Cladium jamaicense) are evident throughout the water (east) side of the wetland area. There is a small isolated wetland pocket, (40 feet X 10 feet), located approximately 25 feet above, or northeast of the larger wetland area. The waterward side of the lot (east) transitions from highground to a 60-70 feet wide border of high coastal marsh. Vegetation species observed were; Juncus roemarianus, Limonium spp., Salicornia spp., Distichlis pica, Borrichia frutescena, SSpartina patens. and S artina alterniflora. The frequency of smooth cordgrass (S. alterniflora) increases in a waterward direction, resulting in a border, 70-100 feet wide, comprised solely of smooth cordgrass, completing the waterward limits of coastal wetland vegetation prior to open water. The Lockwood Folly River is approximately 2600 feet wide in the project area, however there are extensive areas of smooth cordgrass marsh, numerous marsh islands, and shoals interspersed throughout the shallow river basin. The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (U.S.A.C.O.E.) maintains a channel, 100 feet wide, along the southside (project side) of the river. The navigational easement for the project extends up river to the bridge on N. C. Hyw 211. The U.S.A.C.O.E. is currently in the process of completing a maintenance dredging project that will extend approximately two miles above Varnumtown, N.C. The waters in the project area are classified SA by the N.C. Division of Environmental Management, and are CLOSED to the taking of shellfish. The waters are not designated as primary nursery area. The applicant proposes to construct a pier from his property for water access to the Lockwood Folly River. The pier would be 136.14 feet long and 4 feet wide, and would terminate in a T-shaped platform at its waterward end. This platform would be 12 feet long and 12 feet wide. A boatlift (10' X 12') is proposed on the north side of the T-head platform. A floating dock (16' X 10') is proposed on the south side of the T-head. No roofing is proposed over any of the structure. The end of the pier would be located at elevation -4 N.G.V.D. or -2 feet at MLW. This would place the end of the structure 50.2 feet from the toe of the federally maintained channel. The pier would be elevated over wetland vegetation. S. W. Stubbert Page 3 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS The proposed structure would incorporate 424 square feet of estuarine/public trust waters. The construction of the pier may create localized, short-term turbidity increases during piling installation. If properly elevated over marsh vegetation, the pier should result in no adverse impacts to marine resources. Submitted by: E. F. Brooks Date: 4/2/93 Office: Wilmington ?lease type or print.
