    The Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources proposes to create a living shoreline along 1.2 miles of the James River shoreline at the Ragged Island Wildlife Management Area in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. The applicant proposes to construct 62 rip rap breakwaters creating 1.97 acres of rock substrate to protect the shore and encourage oyster growth, and use imported sand to restore 5.26 acres of tidal marsh lost to erosion. The overall project would result in direct impacts to 0.14 acres of tidal wetlands, 0.85 acres of unvegetated intertidal waters, and 6.4 acres of subaqueous land.

  • NAO-2012-01825

    Expiration date: 10/23/2012

    The applicant proposes to construct five variable length stone breakwaters, six variable length stone sills, a stone spur, and a 352 linear foot stone revetment to provide long-term stabilization along an eroding shoreline. Approximately 15000 cubic yards of beach quality sand will be utilized as beach nourishment landward of the breakwaters and sills. Intertidal zones will be planted with Spartina alterniflora while backshore areas will be planted with Spartina patens. No impacts to vegetated wetlands are associated with the shoreline work. The project is located along the north shore of the Rappahannock River in Richmond County, Va.
