8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing to construct a bulkhead, boat ramp and mooring
facilities at Twin Lakes Campground.
TWIN LAKES CAMPING RESORT AND YACHT BASIN
Beaufort County
Environmental setting
The project which is being addressed in this application is located in Beaufort County,
on the south side of SR 1166 which is known locally as Whichards Beach Road. The project
is located at Twin Lakes Camping Resort and Yacht Basin which is an existing facility and was
developed in the early 1970's along a canal system connecting to Chocowinity Bay, a tributary
to the Pamlico River. The canal system has an entrance canal which connects to a basin off of
which are other canals. The canals are navigable, and within the basin is an existing marina
facility. At the site approximately 313 camp sites are existing along the canals with support
facilities such as a general store, picnic shelters, and maintenance shops. The focus of this
application is an area known as Paradise Island. This area, on which is located 122 camp sites,
is bordered on the south by the basin, east and west by canals, and on the north by a canal and
agricultural lands. Located on the majority of the 122 camp sites are various types of
recreational vehicles. Each camp site is served by an individual septic tank system and a central
water system services the entire development. Most of Paradise Island is vegetated with various
lawn grasses between the vehicles and access is by earthen roads. No wetland vegetation is
present at the project site. None of the island is bulkheaded an some moderate erosion is
occurring, especially along the eastern end.
Project proposal
The applicant is proposing the following:
(1) The construction of 2,870' of bulkhead around Paradise Island. The bulkhead
will average 2' beyond the NWL and will be 25' beyond the NWL at the furthest
point. This area will be at the east end of the island where the erosion is
severest.
(2) The construction of two concrete boat ramps within the basin at the southeast
corner of Paradise island. The ramps will extend 27' beyond the NWL and each
will have a width of 14'. Located between the ramps will be a 54' long by 6'
wide pier to aid in the launching of boats.
(3) The construction of a mooring pier at each camp site. (See plat 1 of 2 for details.)
Each pier will consist of a 4' wide walkway which is to extend 10' into the canal
beyond the proposed bulkhead. These are intended to be temporary moorings
until the bulkhead is constructed at which time campers will moor along side the
bulkhead.
(4) The re-alignment of an existing 64.0 long pier which is located within the basin
to the north of an existing boat ramp. The pier will be re-aligned so that it will
be parallel to the boat ramp.
Twin Lakes Camping Resort and Yacht Basin
Beaufort County
Environmental impact
The project as proposed should have a minimal environmental impact. Approximately
5,740 sq. ft. of open water area within an existing manmade canal system will be filled landward
of the proposed bulkhead. Some short term turbidity will occur during construction, however,
this should be retained within the canal system and not enter Chocowinity Bay. The project will
not result in the expansion of the camp ground, thus would not increase the septic tank loading
within the area. No wetland vegetation will be excavated and/or filled.

MEMORANDUM
Regarding: Twin Lakes Camping Resort & Yacht Basin
CAMA major development permit application
Twin Lakes Camping Resort & Yacht Basin is an existing business
established along a man made canal and Chocowinity Bay in
Beaufort County, NC. The 313 campsite area is occupied by
campers which are serviced by a private well and on site sewage
disposal system as shown on the attached plat. The focus of this
CAMA major development application is on the area known as
Paradise Island which encompasses 122 of the campsites. The CAMA
major development permit application requests authorization to
construct a boat ramp, bulkhead, pier realignment and temporary
campsite boat docks.
The attached plat shows the location of the proposed double lane
boat ramp with a pier in between to facilitate access to the
boats. The proposed pier r alignment is simply to replace an
existing pier with a pier a ignment for better access and use.
Proposed bulkheading along the interior canals is to abate
shoreline erosion. Because of the extensive amount of
bulkheading, it is anticipated that there will be some temporary
disruption of the guest's ability to access their boat.
Typically the camping guest moor their boat against the
unbulkheaded shoreline. During the course of construction, a
temporary campsite boat dock would be available to each of the
guests upon their request so that continued use of their facility
would be possible. Attached you will find a plan for that
temporary campsite boat access.
The proposed improvements will allow alignment of the boat ramp
in a location which will facilitate its safe use, a pier
realignment which will facilitate better access, and bulkhead
construction along the interior canals for shoreline
stabilization. None of the activities will result in an
expansion of the use of this facility as currently operated.

The Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources hereby gives public notice as
required by N.C.G.S. 113A-119(b) and 143-215 3(a)(1)(c) that the Twin Lakes Camping Resort
and Yacht Basin filed an application on 26 July 1995 for a permit from the Division of Coastal
Management to develop in an Area of Environmental Concern and for certification from the
Division of Environmental Management that a discharge of fill material in project wetlands will
not violate applicable water quality standards. According to said application, Twin Lakes
Camping Resort and Yacht Basin proposes to construct approximately 2,870' of bulkhead around
Paradise Island, construct two concrete boat ramps, construct temporary mooring piers, and re-
align an existing 64' long pier. The site is located off SR 1166 adjacent Chocowinity Bay, near
the Town of Chocowinity, Beaufort County, North Carolina.
A copy of the entire application and additional information maybe examined (or copies furnished
upon request and payment of reproduction costs) during normal business hours of the Division
of Coastal Management, 1424 Carolina Avenue, Washington, North Carolina, and/or the

8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing to construct a bulkhead, boat ramp and mooring:
facilities at Twin Lakes Campground.
04
TWIN LAKES CAMPING RESORT AND YACHT BASIN
Beaufort County
Environmental setting
The project which is being addressed in this application is located in Beaufort County,
on the south side of SR 1166 which is known locally as Whichards Beach Road. The project
is located at Twin Lakes Camping Resort and Yacht Basin which is an existing facility and was
developed in the early 1970's along a canal system connecting to Chocowinity Bay, a tributary
to the Pamlico River. The canal system has an entrance canal which connects to a basin off of
which are other canals. The canals are navigable, and within the basin is an existing marina
facility. At the site approximately 313 camp sites are existing along the canals with support
facilities such as a general store, picnic shelters, and maintenance shops. The focus of this
application is an area known as Paradise Island. This area, on which is located 122 camp sites,
is bordered on the south by the basin, east and west by canals, and on the north by a canal and
agricultural lands. Located on the majority of the 122 camp sites are various types of
recreational vehicles. Each camp site is served by an individual septic tank system and a central
water system services the entire development. Most of Paradise Island is vegetated with various
lawn grasses between the vehicles and access is by earthen roads. No wetland vegetation is
present at the project site. None of the island is bulkheaded an some moderate erosion is
occurring, especially along the eastern end.
Project proposal
The applicant is proposing the following:
(1) The construction of 2,870' of bulkhead around Paradise Island. The bulkhead
will average 2' beyond the NWL and will be 25' beyond the NWL at the furthest
point. This area will be at the east end of the island where the erosion is
severest.
(2) The construction of two concrete boat ramps within the basin at the southeast
corner of Paradise island. The ramps will extend 27' beyond the NWL and each
will have a width of 14'. Located between the ramps will be a 54' long by 6'
wide pier to aid in the launching of boats.
(3) The construction of a mooring pier at each camp site. (See plat 1 of 2 for details.)
Each pier will consist of a 4' wide walkway which is to extend 10' into the canal
beyond the proposed bulkhead. These are intended to be temporary moorings
until the bulkhead is constructed at which time campers will moor along side the
bulkhead.
(4) The re-alignment of an existing 64.0 long pier which is located within the basin
to the north of an existing boat ramp. The pier will be re-aligned so that it will
be parallel to the boat ramp.

Twin Lakes Camping Resort and Yacht Basin
Beaufort County
Environmental impact
The project as proposed should have a minimal environmental impact. Approximately
5,740 sq. ft. of open water area within an existing manmade canal system will be filled landward
of the proposed bulkhead.-- Some short term turbidity will occur during construction, however,
this should be retained within the canal system and not enter Chocowinity Bay. The project will
not result in the expansion of the camp ground, thus would not increase the septic tank loading
within the area. No wetland vegetation will be excavated and/or filled.

MEMORANDUM
Regarding: Twin Lakes Camping Resort & Yacht Basin
CAMA major development permit application
Twin Lakes Camping Resort & Yacht Basin is an existing business
established along a man made canal and Chocowinity Bay in
Beaufort County, NC. The 313 campsite area is occupied by
campers which are serviced by a private well and on site sewage
disposal system as shown on the attached plat. The focus of this
CAMA major development application is on the area known as
Paradise Island which encompasses 122 of the campsites. The CAMA
major development permit application requests authorization to
construct a boat ramp, bulkhead, pier realignment and temporary
campsite boat docks.
The attached plat shows the location of the proposed double lane
boat ramp with a pier in between to facilitate access to the
boats. The proposed pier r alignment is simply to replace an
existing pier with a pier alignment for better access and use.
Proposed bulkheading along the interior canals is to abate
shoreline erosion. Because of the extensive amount of
bulkheading, it is anticipated that there will be some temporary
disruption of the guest's ability to access their boat.
Typically the camping guest moor their boat against the
unbulkheaded shoreline. During the course of construction, a
temporary campsite boat dock would be available to each of the
guests upon their request so that continued use of their facility
would be possible. Attached you will find a plan for that
temporary campsite boat access.
The proposed improvements will allow alignment of the boat ramp
in a location which will facilitate its safe use, a pier
realignment which will facilitate better access, and bulkhead
construction along the interior canals for shoreline
stabilization. None of the activities will result in an
expansion of the use of this facility as currently operated.

NOTICE OF FILING OF
APPLICATION FOR CAMA MAJOR DEVELOPM f
PERMIT AND WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION
The Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources hereby gives public notice as
required by N.C.G.S. 113A-119(b) and 143-215 3(a)(1)(c) that the Twin Lakes Camping Resort
and Yacht Basin filed an application on 26 July 1995 for a permit from the Division of Coastal
Management to develop in an Area of Environmental Concern and for certification from the
Division of Environmental Management that a discharge of fill material in project wetlands will
not violate applicable water quality standards. According to said application, Twin Lakes
Camping Resort and Yacht Basin proposes to construct approximately 2,870' of bulkhead around
Paradise Island, construct two concrete boat ramps, construct temporary mooring piers, and re-
align an existing 64' long pier. The site is located off SR 1166 adjacent Chocowinity Bay, near
the Town of Chocowinity, Beaufort County, North Carolina.
A copy of the entire application and additional information maybe examined (or copies furnished
upon request and payment of reproduction costs) during normal business hours of the Division
of Coastal Management, 1424 Carolina Avenue, Washington, North Carolina, and/or the
Division of Environmental Management, 1424 Carolina Avenue, Washington, North Carolina.
The Division of Environmental Management proposes to take final action on this water quality
certification on or before 3 September 1995. The issuance of the CAMA Major Development
permit and the Section 401 Certification may deviate from this projected date depending upon
the nature of the comments submitted and subsequent hearings that may result.
All persons desiring to make comments should do so in writing to Mr. Roger Schecter, Director,
Division of Coastal Management, P.O. Box 27687, Raleigh, N.C. 27611, prior to 24 August
1995 for consideration in the CAMA permit decision, and to Mr. John Dorney, Division of
Environmental Management, P.O. Box 27687, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 prior to 19

the CAMA application will be accepted and considered up to the time of permit decision.
Project modifications may occur based on review and comment by the public and state and
federal agencies. Notice of the permit decision in this matter will be provided upon written
request.
Please publish on 4 August 1995 in Washington Daily News for the North Carolina Division
