APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
John and Ann Edwards
5505 Millhaven Court
Wilmington, NC 28409
Dear Mr. Edwards:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 0.02 acres of wetlands or
waters for the purpose of residential construction, as you described in your application dated April 29, 1999. After
reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 18.
This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 3106 when the Corps of Engineers issues it. In addition,
you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to)
Sediment and Erosion Control, Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this
approval will expire when the accompanying 404 or CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General
Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change your
project, you must notify us and send us a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of
this Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fills for
this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC
2H.0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification. This
approval shall expire when the corresponding Nationwide Permit expires or as otherwise provided in the General
Certification.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must
act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition which conforms to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh,
N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you
have any questions, please telephone John Domey at 919-733-1786.
Sincerely,
®rr SAttachment

Subject: Retaining wall at 6324 Guinea Lane
Dear Mr. McLendon and Ms. Steenhuis:
I am the General Contractor building a residence for John and Ann Edward at
6324 Guinea Lane, Wilmington, NC and would like to offer a brief summary of
the events which have led us to apply for a retaining wall permit at this address.
A site inspection was performed when the Edwards were purchasing the lot and
the 404 line was delineated at that time, which is reflected on the enclosed plot
plan. The residence was designed with this line in mind. After the lot was
cleared, the homeowners felt that the building pad elevation should be raised to
minimize the possibility of structural damage should the water rise to levels that
had occurred during the past hurricanes.
Due to the fill being placed so near to the 404 line, it is necessary to build a
retaining wall to keep the fill in place. The proposed bulkhead would be
approximately 4' high along it's entire length as indicated on the enclosed plot
plan, and would be supported to resist lateral forces by a tieback that extends to
a deadman approximately 20' back from the retaining wall.
This support for the retaining wall is what is driving the need for this permit
application. The geometry of the building does not allow for the tiebacks to be
placed as needed, and the retaining wall structure would interfere with the house
and deck foundation footings in places. The soil characteristics on this lot
P.O. Box 4882, Wilmington, NC 28406 Phone [phone] Fax [phone] Mobile 443=4395
dictated footings around the pilings, which are normally not required, to provide
the necessary bearing to support the residence and associated decks and
porches.
I hope that this helps clarify the purpose of this application. If 1 can be of any
assistance or answer any questions, please feel free to call me.
Thanks for your time and effort in this matter.
Sincerely,
I

Subject: Retaining wall at 6324 Guinea Lane
Dear Mr. McLendon and Ms. Steenhuis:
I am the General Contractor building a residence for John and Ann Edward at
6324 Guinea Lane, Wilmington, NC and would like to offer a brief summary of
the events which have led us to apply for a retaining wall permit at this address.
A site inspection was performed when the Edwards were purchasing the lot and
the 404 line was delineated at that time, which is reflected on the enclosed plot
plan. The residence was designed with this line in mind. After the lot was
cleared, the homeowners felt that the building pad elevation should be raised to
minimize the possibility of structural damage should the water rise to levels that
had occurred during the past hurricanes.
Due to the fill being placed so near to the 404 line, it is necessary to build a
retaining wall to keep the fill in place. The proposed bulkhead would be
approximately 4' high along its entire length as indicated on the enclosed plot
plan, and would be supported to resist lateral forces by a tieback that extends to
a deadman approximately 20' back from the retaining wall.
This support for the retaining wall is what is driving the need for this permit
application. The geometry of the building does not allow for the tiebacks to be
placed as needed, and the retaining wall structure would interfere with the house
and deck foundation footings in places. The soil characteristics on this lot

dictated footings around the pilings, which are normally not required, to provide
the necessary bearing to support the residence and associated decks and
porches.
I hope that this helps clarify the purpose of this application. If I can be of any
assistance or answer any questions, please feel free to call me.
Thanks for your time and effort in this matter.
Sincerely,
Kenny Johnson
