2003-12-017 CARNEGIE HARBOR VILLAGE, LP – Construct and maintain a 41-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 result in the direct loss of coastal features including 320 linear feet of coastal beach and coastal bluff and impact freshwater wetlands including 40 linear feet of intermittent stream, 0.24 acres of riverbank, 0.18 acres of an “area of land within 50 feet (perimeter wetland) and 0.04 acres of shrub wetland.  An entrance channel will be dredged from the East Passage into the excavated marina basin which will involve removing approximately 71,750 cubic yards of excavation and 11,000 cubic yards of dredging.  Additional marina facilities include a marine services building, marine sewage pump-out 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.  A stormwater detention basin approved for a previous phase of the project is proposed to be replaced with a stormwater infiltration system having an outlet structure which discharges to Narragansett Bay.  The project will result in the loss of 1.12 acres of coastal buffer zone thereby requiring a variance to CRMC buffer zone standards.  Project is located at plat 26, lot 2, 3, 4, 10, 11; 300 Willow Lane, Portsmouth, RI.
