PROJECT SUMMARY: Applicant proposes to construct a driveway through Section 404 Wetlands to access the high grotmd shoreline of the property. Hydrology is proposed to remain connected through the installation of 2 culverts. Field Investigation Report: Heirs of Leonda Mason Page 02 9. Narrative Description: The subject property is a vacant lot located at 302 Morris Marina Road in the town of Atlantic, Carteret County. The tract is deeded as 1.65 acres, but above the nhw contour, the site scales to approximately 1.07 acres. Morris Marina Road connects to the terminus of Highway 70 via SR 1378, at the east end of Atlantic. The site lies approximately 1400' southwest of Morris Marina, on the east side of the road, fronting Core Sound. Presently, there are no services to the property, and the average elevation is +3' to +5' msl. The preponderance of the lot is vegetated with delineated Section 404 Wetlands, giving way to typical high ground berm characteristics of ahigh-energy system at the shoreline. Vegetation within the wetland areas of the lot consists of Typha latifolia, Myrica cerifera, Baccharis halimifolia, and cyperus spp. The high ground portion of the lot extends from approximately half way down the north side of the property to the shoreline, and along the shoreline. There are a couple of small hummocks of high ground about midway thru the southern side of the property. The upland areas are vegetated with oaks, Magnolia virginiana, Myrica cerifera, with some Spartina patens and Smilax spp along the southern edge of the shore. Both adjacent properties have stabilized shorelines in the form of riprap, while this shoreline has had no stabilization. The shoreline of the property is approximately 190' in length, and the street side of the property, abutting Morris Marina Road, is approximately 70' in length. There is an existing culvert within the roadside ditch that allows access directly onto the property. The Carteret County LUP classifies this area of the county as Rural, with AEC's classified Conservation. Core Sound carries a water quality classification of SA-ORW. The Division of Marine Fisheries does not designate Core Sound as Primary Nursery Area, and the waters are open to the taking of shellfish as determined by the DHS. The energy of the area is evident in the large grained sand character of the shoreline and the rippled effect of the sandy bottom substrate within the sound. There are spotty areas of SAV offshore. The applicant is proposing to construct a 260' x 20' driveway into the property to access the high ground portion of the site. The ~iortheast side of the property was utilized to minimize the distance across wetlands. There are no immediate plans for other development of the site. Measured from the centerline, approx. 230' of the road will be within Section 404 Wetlands, with the last 30' on high ground. The top width of the road will be 15', with 2.5' shoulders on each side, for a bottom width of 20'. The elevation currently is approx. +3.5' msl, and the proposed finished elevation for the road is + 5.5' msl. The road surface will be finished with gravel. Two culverts are proposed within the road to connect the hydrology of the wetlands. The culverts .are proposed to equal the base width of the road, or 20' in length, and 18" diameter. They are to be evenly spaced to prevent channelization during storm events. The first is proposed 83' from Morris Marina Road, and the second is 83' east of the first, with the driveway extending another 88' to the uplands. The purpose of the proposal is for the private development and access of a residential lot. Field Investigation Report: Heirs of Leonda Mason Page 03 10. Anticipated Impacts: As proposed, the driveway into the subject property will require the filling of approximately 4600 sf of delineated Section 404 Wetlands. Another 600 sf of high ground will be filled and graded for the proposal. The entire lot is within the AEC.. The applicant has calculated that 4.6% of the lot will become impervious with the construction of the road. However, based on the plat submitted, the development will render approximately 11% of the lot impervious. The utilization of standard sedimentation/erosion control measures should prevent the movement of material into adjacent wetlands or waters. Future development proposals should be anticipated on the property with the high ground being made accessible by this project. Tere Barrett December 11, 2006 `forehead City August 12, 2006 N.C.

MASON PROPERTY ACCESS PROJEC ~,~,, ~~ , ''~~;~;_ CARTERET COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA City ~Ct: NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT INTRODUCTION The Heirs of Leonda B. Mason propose to build a vehicle driveway on their property located at 302 Morris Marina Road. The property is located along the Core Sound shoreline of Carteret County, North Carolina on the northern side of Atlantic. The property can be reached by driving northeast from Beaufort, North Carolina on U. S. Highway 70 East past the Town of Atlantic to Cedar Island Rd.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed project consists of constructing a conventional driveway on the northern property boundary line. Construction will result in filling by backhoe and bulldozer up to 385 cubic yards (cy) of driveway grade gravel in 404 wetlands. Two culverts will be placed under the driveway, See sheet 3 of 5. The culverts will allow the property to drain in large scale storm events, such as hurricanes and northeasters. The US Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) has been on site to verify the 404 wetlands.
