Field Report
SITE DESCRIPTION
Joe and Barbara Britt currently own property located at 1312 Duck Road, Duck, Dare County with
shoreline on the Currituck Sound. The property currently has a single family residential structure located
near the southern boundary. A gravel parking area, boat ramp, boat rental office, and a 6' by 200' long
pier with a 400 ft2 platform all exist and indicate a boat rental operation currently operates on the property.
The shoreline is currently bulkheaded and has a wooden breakwater located approximately 30' waterward
of the bulkhead. The area between the bulkhead and the breakwater and south of the existing boatramp has
been planted with Spartina alterniflora and a coastal wetlands area has established itself there. Water
depths adjacent the breakwater in Currituck Sound are approximately 6" and slope gradually to
approximately 2' at the end of the existing platform. The bottom of Currituck Sound in the vicinity of the
project consists of coarse sand and minor amounts of shell fragments. No submerged aquatic vegetation
has been observed in the area of the project. Immediately north of the applicant's property, a real estate
office exists. North of this several residential structures are located adjacent Currituck Sound. South of
the applicant's property, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers owns ocean-to-sound property on which is
located the USACOE Duck Research Pier.
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
The applicants propose to place 43 mooring buoys in the waters of Currituck Sound. The moorings
would consist of Danforth anchors, chains and floating buoys to which watercraft would be attached. The
mooring field is proposed to accomodate a seasonal small-boat rental operation. Boats proposed to be
anchored to the buoys include sailboats, windsurfers, canoes and kayaks. As a seasonal operation, the
applicants propose to install the mooring field in April of each year and completely remove the field in
October of each year. The proposed mooring field would be located from the end of the existing pier
landward and extend on either side of the pier over a total distance of 330 feet. One mooring is proposed
approximately 100 feet waterward of the pier to accomodate a deeper draft sailboat.
ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The mooring field will seasonally usurp approximately 1.5 acres of public trust area in Currituck
Sound. The placement and retrieval of the individual moorings may cause temporary turbidity increases in
the immediate vicinity. No archaeological sites have been identified in the vicinity of the project.
Pedestrian traffic and vessel traffic may increase turbidity levels in the vicinity of the project.
CAMA REVIEW
The Dare County Land Use Plan review and consistency determination will be conducted and
submitted under separate cover by Stephen Gabriel.
