Bio Report

Site Description
The applicant owns a 10 acre wooded tract in Shiloh Township, Camden County. The
tract is accessible by a private road known as Driftwood Trail which connects to the state
road system at the intersection of SR 1111 and SR 1112. The tract lies along the Pasquotank
River in an area known as Bucko Bay. Soils consist of Roanoke silt loam and dominant
native trees are red maple, (Acer rubrum , loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) and water oak
uercus ni is .
Approximately two acres of the tract adjacent to the Pasquotank River have been
cleared in preparation for the construction of a single family dwelling. CAMA Minor Permit
#951115 was issued by the Elizabeth City Field Office for this activity. Adjacent property
consists of like sized tracts with a home under construction on one side and a home planned
for the other side. The shoreline of both adjacent riparian tracts are bulkheaded.
Tract elevation varies from six inches in areas along the shoreline to four feet towards
to center of the property. A possible Section 404 wetland area of 1,050 square feet exists in
the Estuarine Shoreline Area of Environmental Concern approximately 10 feet from normal
water level.
Waters of the Pasquotank River in this area are classified as SC by the NC Division of
Environmental Management. Annual shoreline erosion is estimated to be one to two feet.
Development Proposal
In order to protect his shoreline and access the river, the applicant proposes to
construct 205 feet of wooden bulkhead. He proposes to connect his bulkhead to the adjacent
riparian existing bulkheads. The average distance from shore of the proposed bulkhead is
6.06 feet with a maximum distance from shore of 17 feet.
He further proposes to fill the wetland area in order to level and landscape his yard. A
6' x 200' pier with a 20'x 20' platform and a 12' x 20' covered boathouse are also proposed.
Anticipated Impacts
Construction of 205 feet of wooden bulkhead as proposed would result in 1,243.5
square feet of shallow water habitat being lost. Approximately 115 cubic yards of backfill
will be required. One thousand fifty square feet of possible Section 404 wetlands would be
filled requiring 97 cubic yards of fill.
Ricky Edwards
Bio Report
Page Three
The pier, platform and boathouse would shade 1,840 square feet of Estuarine/Public
Trust Waters. Water turbidity will increase during construction of the bulkhead, pier,
platform and boathouse.
CAMA Review
The proposed project involves Public Trust, Estuarine Waters and Estuarine Shoreline
Areas of Environmental Concern. The proposed project will result in .03 acres of Public
Trust and Estuarine Waters being lost. Total disturbance in the involved AECs will be .09
acres. No historical/archeological significance is associated with this lot. No endangered or
threatened species of plants or animals have been identified in the project area. The pier,
platform and boathouse could be permitted under a CAMA General Permit. The tract is not
part of any unique geologic formation. There are no submerged aquatic vegetation beds
within the project area.
A consistency review of the project with the Camden County Land Use Plan will be
sent under a separate letterhead.
