Thomas Dale / Page 2
9. PROTECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant, Mr. Thomas Dale, proposes to bulkhead a private lot and construct a dock adjacent to
a man-made canal off of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. The applicant also proposes to excavate
approximately 225 square feet of wetlands and coastal marsh and 600 square feet of high ground to
construct a covered boat basin that would provide two boat slips (square footage includes disturbance
for bulkhead). Approximately 320 square feet of public trust waters would be covered/shaded by the
dock and basin roof.
Mr. Dale's lot is approximately 0.34 acres in size, relatively flat, and vegetated in cactus and
pennywort. There are existing residences on either side of his lot. At this time Mr. Dale's lot is
undeveloped. However, a Minor Permit has been issued by the Town Of North Topsail Beach for a
residence to be constructed on the lot. The property falls within the Estuarine Shoreline as well as the
Ocean Hazard Area of Environmental Concern. The Atlantic Ocean is located on the other side of
Highway 1568 from Mr. Dale's property.
This lot drops off 1-3' following the waterward edge of the property and is bordered by a marsh fringe
waterward of the escarpment. The proposed bulkhead is to be located landward of any and all wetland
vegetation. However, excavation of a boat basin would remove approximately 225 square feet of the
wetland fringe. Coastal wetland species that would be affected include Spartina alterniflora and S_partina
patens. Some federal wetland species may also be impacted by the excavation. The remaining impacts
would be to the high-ground portion of the lot, approximately 16' by 28' in size or 448 square feet.
This lot falls within the Town Of North Topsail Beach's jurisdictional limits and is classified as Limited
Transition by the Land Use Plan. The waters of the canal are classified as SA by the Division of
Environmental Management. The waters are open to the taking of shellfish and are designated as
primary nursery area by the Division of Marine Fisheries.
At the time this permit package was accepted as complete, we were unaware that the Town Of North
Topsail Beach considers the covered boat basin to be a structure and requires a minimum of 8' sideyard
setback from the property line. 5' is what was proposed by the applicant. Any permit that would be
issued would conform to the 8' minimum sideyard setback.
A Major Permit, #35-91, for a bulkhead was issued on March 4, 1991 to Mr. Homer J. Prince, Jr. for
bulkhead work on this same lot. The work was never started and Mr. Prince has since sold the lot to
Mr. Dale. Permit #35-91 expires on December 31, 1994. Mr. Dale approached the Division about
transferring, modifying and extending the Prince Permit. Since so much has changed, it would be our
recommendation that a new permit, under Mr. Dale's name, be issued for the proposed work.
10. ANTICIPATED EMPACTS
Potential impacts include shallow-bottom disturbance and removal of approximately 200 square feet of
wetlands. The total proposed disturbance on the lot will be approximately 825 square feet for the
bulkhead and boatbasin construction. A temporary turbidity increase in the canal during excavation and
construction is likely. Some shading of public trust waters would also result from the covered basin.

additional letter will be provided on or about the 75th day.
NCGS 113A-119(b) requires that Notice of an application be posted at the location of the proposed
development. Enclosed you will find a "Notice of Permit Filing" postcard which must be posted at the
property of your proposed development. You should post this notice at a conspicuous point along your
property where it can be observed from a public road. Some examples would be: Nailing the notice
card to a telephone pole or post along the road right-of-way fronting your property; or at a point along
the road right-of-way where a private road would lead one into your property. Failure to post this
notice could result in an incomplete application.
A field report has been prepared and is in the process of being circulated to the various state and federal
review agencies for their comments. If additional information is required based on this review, the
agencies may contact you directly.

off of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway.
Thomas Dale / Page 2
9. PROTECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant, Mr. Thomas Dale, proposes to bulkhead a private lot and construct a dock adjacent to
a man-made canal off of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. The applicant also proposes to excavate
approximately 225 square feet of wetlands and coastal marsh and 600 square feet of high ground to
construct a covered boat basin that would provide two boat slips (square footage includes disturbance
for bulkhead). Approximately 320 square feet of public trust waters would be covered/shaded by the
dock and basin roof.
Mr. Dale's lot is approximately 0.34 acres in size, relatively flat, and vegetated in cactus and
pennywort. There are existing residences on either side of his lot. At this time Mr. Dale's lot is
undeveloped. However, a Minor Permit has been issued by the Town Of North Topsail Beach for a
residence to be constructed on the lot. The property falls within the Estuarine Shoreline as well as the
Ocean Hazard Area of Environmental Concern. The Atlantic Ocean is located on the other side of
Highway 1568 from Mr. Dale's property.
This lot drops off 1-3' following the waterward edge of the property and is bordered by a marsh fringe
waterward of the escarpment. The proposed bulkhead is to be located landward of any and all wetland
vegetation. However, excavation of a boat basin would remove approximately 225 square feet of the
wetland fringe. Coastal wetland species that would be affected include Spartina alterniflora and Spartina
atens. Some federal wetland species may also be impacted by the excavation. The remaining impacts
would be to the high-ground portion of the lot, approximately 16' by 28' in size or 448 square feet.
This lot falls within the Town Of North Topsail Beach's jurisdictional limits and is classified as Limited
Transition by the Land Use Plan. The waters of the canal are classified as SA by the Division of
Environmental Management. The waters are open to the taking of shellfish and are designated as
primary nursery area by the Division of Marine Fisheries.
At the time this permit package was accepted as complete, we were unaware that the Town Of North
Topsail Beach considers the covered boat basin to be a structure and requires a minimum of 8' sideyard
setback from the property line. 5' is what was proposed by the applicant. Any permit that would be
issued would conform to the 8' minimum sideyard setback.
A Major Permit, #35-91, for a bulkhead was issued on March 4, 1991 to Mr. Homer J. Prince, Jr. for
bulkhead work on this same lot. The work was never started and Mr. Prince has since sold the lot to
Mr. Dale. Permit #35-91 expires on December 31, 1994. Mr. Dale approached the Division about
transferring, modifying and extending the Prince Permit. Since so much has changed, it would be our
recommendation that a new permit, under Mr. Dale's name, be issued for the proposed work.
10. ANTICIPATED 51PACTS
Potential impacts include shallow-bottom disturbance and removal of approximately 200 square feet of
wetlands. The total proposed disturbance on the lot will be approximately 825 square feet for the
bulkhead and boatbasin construction. A temporary turbidity increase in the canal during excavation and
construction is likely. Some shading of public trust waters would also result from the covered basin.
