DEGI E - V - APR 29 2025 From: DENNIS RODDY To: MRC- - ipa Permits By 9 Cc: Vickie Roddy Subject: Application for 2 breakwaters to protect property & erosion - Hayes VA Date: Friday, April 11, 2025 9:47:40 AM Attachments: Roddys shoreline abatement Apr25.pdf Untitled attachment 00034.htm Roddy 3261 Friends RdHayes Va Gabion breakwater plans.pdf Untitled attachment 00037.htm SEAS recommendation 3261 Friends Rd Hayes VA.pdf Untitled attachment 00040.htm 25040328 Hello, This application proposes the construction of two breakwater structures to provide critical coastal protection for existing structures and to mitigate ongoing shoreline erosion. The breakwaters are designed to reduce wave energy reaching the shore, thereby enhancing the stability ofthe coastline and safeguarding nearby structures from damage. By minimizing sediment displacement and controlling erosion, these structures will contribute to the long-term resilience of the area. FYI - our adjacent neighbors have been briefed on project and agree in principle. They are unavailable for signatures due to Scott Snavely' 's surgery this week, and James Lothian on a 2 week vacation. I look forward to working on this project as it moves forward. Attachments: 1.

One, a 96 ft long rock-filled Gabion breakwater will be constructed to stabilize the shoreline and reduce the impact of the soil erosion. The breakwater will run parallel to the shore; 52 ft at the shortest and 50 ft from the shore at the greatest distance. The breakwater will lie in the tidal area and will not disturb the natural sea grass. A second break water at a length of 48 ft will run perpendicular to the shore and parallel alongside the existing wooden pier. The purpose of the two breakwaters will moderate the 'fetch' wave action from two directions. The Gabion cages will be constructed from biaxial geo grid polypropylene. The stacked design consists of a permeable filter cloth laid first, topped by a wide gabion mattress 1'hx 5'w x12'L for support, topped by a 5'h x3'w x12'L polypropylene gabion cage. The mattress and the cage will be filled with gabion stones approximate dimension (6" X 6" x 6" inches). Once filled, the cages will be secured with stainless steel hog rings. The construction site will be accessed from the property shore line. The materials will be transported to the site via a flat bottom boat. Additionally, we plan to place some rip/rap stone along the eroded shoreline. The rip/rap will not disturb the natural grass. Application!

VAZ 22560 Telephone: (804)443-1494 FAX: (804) 443-4534 June 28, 2022 Mr. Dennis Roddy 9004 Nomini Lane Alexanderia, VA 22309 RE: SEAS# T22059 Dear Mr. Roddy: On June 14, I met with you and your wife, at your property, on the Severn River in Gloucester County. The site visit was in response to your request for advisory assistance concerning a shoreline erosion problem. The Shoreline Studies Program, at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, has created a Shoreline Evolution Map for tidal localities in Virginia. The map was created using aerial photography from 1937 to 2009. The map shows shoreline change over time. Based upon that map, the historical erosion rate for your area is less than 1 foot per year. The erosion on your property appears to be caused by elevated water levels and waves associated with storms. The following recommendations are made as a result of the site visit and subsequent analysis of the problem: 1. The marsh grasses growing on your shore dissipate wave energy and bind the soil with their roots. We recommend you begin a periodic maintenance program for the grasses. Tidal debris should be periodically removed to prevent smothering ofthe grasses. The encroachment oft trees and shrubs into the grasses should be prohibited. The program should increase plant vigor and promote growth. 2. During the site visit, we discussed a nearshore breakwater system that includes beach nourishment. The sand nourishment should be good-quality, medium to coarse grain sand. The breakwaters provide protection for the beach by reducing the wave energy reaching the shoreline. Additionally, breakwaters will interrupt the along shore transport of sand causing it to be deposited in the lee of the structures. This process helps maintain the beach over time. The height, length and placement ofthe structures can vary depending on the desired results. In general, the structures are placed parallel to the shoreline. Angular quarry stone is the most commonly used material for breakwater construction. The breakwaters should 600 East Main Street, 24h Floor Richmond, Virginia 23219 804.786-6124 State Parks Soil and Water Conservation Outdoor Recreation Planning Natural Heritage Dam Safery and Floodplain Management Land Conservation Received by VMRC April 11, 2025 /blh Mr. Dennis Roddy Page 2 June 28, 2022 be constructed with a trapezoidal cross section. The side slopes should be 2:1 (horizontal.vertical) or flatter. A minimum of two layers of armor stone should be used. Each armor stone should weigh a minimum of300 pounds. Alayer of filter cloth should be used under the breakwater. See the enclosed cross-sectional view of a typical riprap breakwater. 3. To help stabilize the beach, we recommend establishment of agrass fringe. The establishment ofthe grass fringe would involve planting saltmeadow hay, American beachgrass, and Atlantic coastal panicgrass. The grasses may be purchased or transplanted from neighboring areas with permission. Saltmeadow hay grows above the mean high tide elevation and should be planted from late April through June. American beachgrass and coastal panicgrass grow above the extreme high tide elevation and should be planted from late October through April. Care should be taken to plant the grasses within the proper zone. To transplant the grasses, dig healthy plants and be sure to obtain an adequate root mass. Plant the grasses on an 18-inch by 18-inch grid. We recommend fertilization at the time of planting. A slow release fertilizer such as Osmocote can be placed in the hole with the plant. You should use approximately one ounce per plant. An alternative to Osmocote is any available fertilizer such as 10-10-10. Approximately two ounces of the alternate fertilizer should be side-dressed about six inches from the plant. To prevent damage to the source area, do not remove large numbers ofplants from one section. The source area should be fertilized after plugging. Ifyou wish to purchase plants or have someone do the planting for you, see the enclosed list ofsuppliers and contractors. See the enclosed information concerning descriptions of the grasses. 4. The Phragmites (Reed Grass) growing on your property is invasive and can adversely impact the native wetland vegetation. It can be eliminated, but'it is a generally a two year process. The first step is the application of al biodegradable herbicide that is non-toxic to animals and is approved by the U. S. EPA for use in wetlands. The herbicide should be carefully applied in the early fall. In late winter, the dead Phragmites should be cleared to open the area to desired species. This process may need to be tepeated for a second year. The above recommendations are made in my capacity as an advisory agent in shoreline erosion control matters. The suggestions should not be considered as binding you to any particular course of action, as they are intended to indicate what we think would be the best solution in terms of cost and effectiveness. Our examination ofthe site or this report does not constitute permission by the Commonwealth, or its agencies, to proceed with implementation of control measures. Permits from State and Federal agencies are generally required for shoreline modification. You should also be aware that success in shoreline erosion control cannot be guaranteed, as there are many variables involved. In this regard, we suggest care in selecting a contractor. Our comments Received by VMRC April 11, 2025 /blh Mr. Dennis Roddy Page3 June 28, 2022 concerning construction are intended as guidelines developed from our experience in viewing structures that have been successful or have failed. Ifyou decide to construct a control measure, an assessment of the impacts of the project on the environment will be given by the regulatory agencies. Our advice is given with the idea ofreducing environmental impacts associated with our recommendations. Although this has been considered in our recommendations, the permit reviewing agencies may desire additional information or measures. Services available through this office include: review ofthe permit application; review of design and construction plans; and inspection of structures under construction when plans have been reviewed by this office. We recommend that a copy of this report be attached to the permit application. If we may be of further assistance or if you have any questions, please let me know.
