2003-12-017 CARNEGIE HARBOR Phase IV — Construct and maintain: a 65 slip Marina within a "manmade marina basin" to be excavated into the adjacent shoreline of the East Passage of Narragansett Bay. The project involves activities regulated by both the Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Program and CRMC's Rules and Regulations Governing the Protection and Management of Freshwater Wetlands in the Vicinity of the Coast. The proposed marina basin will impact coastal features including coastal beach and coastal bluff and impact (eliminate) freshwater wetlands to include approximately 0.65 acres of "swamp", 50 linear feet of a "flowing body of water", 1000 square feet of associated "river bank" and .82 acres of an "area of land within 50 feet (perimeter wetland)". Proposed "temporary" (*) impacts to freshwater wetlands include .44 acres of "swamp" and .28 acres of an "area of land within 50 feet (perimeter wetland)". An entrance channel will be dredged from the East Passage into the excavated marina basin which will involve removing approximately 10,000 cubic yards of material. Additional marina facilities include a marine services building, "possible travel lift", marine sewage pump-put station, etc. Parking for marina patrons will be provided within a private parking lot while public parking will be provided along Willow Lane. A portion of the Willow Lane roadway right-of-way will be excavated to support the Marina Basin. Proposed public access includes a public boat ramp and associated support dock to be constructed within the marina basin, marina sewage pump-out facility and public shoreline access pathways. Wetland creation (.54 acres) is proposed to mitigate the loss of wetlands impacted by the project (*). A stormwater detention basin approved for a previous phase of the project is proposed to be replaced with a stormwater infiltration system with an associated outlet structure which discharges to Narragansett Bay. The project will require a variance to CRMC buffer zone standards. Located at plat 26, lot 2, 3, 4; Willow Lane, Portsmouth, RI.
