Kill Devil Hills, NC 27948
Dear Mr. Suttle:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 1182 square feet of
wetlands or waters for the purpose of constructing a bulkhead to stabilize the shoreline at your property as you described
in your application dated June 29, 1999. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by
General Water Quality Certification Number 3112. 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 Dorney at 919-733-9646.

Bio Report

Site Description
Joseph Suttle, Jr. owns Lots 6 and 7 of the Raymond Singletary Subdivision located in
the Point Harbor Community in Currituck County approximately 150 feet south of the west
end of the Wright Memorial Bridge. Lot depth averages 150 feet and total frontage along
Currituck Sound is approximately 197 feet. The sole structural improvement on the property
is the remaining 142' of an old 197' long wooden bulkhead. To access the property one turns
south off US 158 Highway about 600' from the end of the Wright Memorial Bridge onto
Swain Circle (SR 1436). After traveling approximately 2/10 mile along this curving 12' wide
drive the subject lots will be located on the east (right-hand) side of Swain Circle.
Elevation of the parcels ranges 3'-4' above mean sea level. Vegetation noted on the
property includes lawn grasses, and trees such as oak, loblolly pine, and wax myrtle.
Wooden bulkheads in good condition protect the shorelines of the single family
residential properties lying north and south of the subject lots. Only 142 linear feet of an old
dilapidated 197' long wooden bulkhead which once protected the applicant's property remains
intact. A 55' long section of the north end has been destroyed with the exception of a few
pilings. The erosion escarpment lies 3'-25' landward of the pilings. Approximately 50' of the
remaining 142' of bulkhead has failed and along these sections the NWL lies 1'-3' landward of
the bulkhead. No wetlands were noted at the base of the escarpment or along the eroded areas
landward of the failed bulkhead. No .submerged aquatic vegetation was noted growing
anywhere along the old alignment.
The waters of Currituck Sound in the vicinity of the project are classified as SC by the
NC Division of Environmental Management. These waters are classified as Joint Fishing
Waters by the NC Marine Fisheries Commission and NC Wildlife Resources Commission and
as Estuarine and Public Trust Waters by the NC Coastal Resources Commission.
Project Description
Joseph Suttle, Jr. proposes to construct 197 linear feet of bulkhead a maximum distance
of 25' waterward of NWL and an average distance of 6'.
The construction of the bulkhead and the placement of material as backfill will eliminate
1182 square feet of shallow water habitat. Approximately 90 cubic yards of fill material
would be placed below the NWL and confined behind the proposed bulkhead structure.

Project Narrative
June 15, 1999
The subject site includes Lots 6 and 7 (11,491 and 8,085 square feet respectively) and is located
on Swain Circle in Poplar Branch Township, Currituck County, North Carolina, The subject site
is bordered on the east side by Currituck Sound. The proposed activity includes construction of
approximately 200 feet of wooden bulkhead with associated backfill and filling of approximately
733 square feet (approximately 28 cubic yards) of public trust waters (created by erosion in the
area of failed bulkhead). The wooden bulkhead will replace an existing, degraded bulkhead. The
new bulkhead will be constructed in front of the currently existing bulkhead and will be
waterward a distance sufficient to allow work between the two structures (approximately 2 feet).
The new bulkhead shall be a total average distance of 4.5 feet waterward of the old bulkhead and
this distance includes the erosion escarpment (23 feet depth by 55 feet length) along the northern
boundary of Lot 6. The desire to perform this activity resulted from continued erosion in this
area. The purpose of the proposed activity is to abate further erosion. The bulkhead will be
constructed using a backhoe to prepare the site and to place deadmen and tiebacks, a hydraulic
pump to place pilings and hand tools to fasten wooden components. Filter cloth will be placed
on the back side of the bulkhead to prevent silt or fine sand from passing through the bulkhead
into the sound. Following construction, the site shall be graded and seeded. No CAMA
jurisdictional wetlands or CWA Section 404 jurisdictional wetlands are going to be filled as a
result of the proposed project.

Please reference the application of Joe Suttle for Department of the Army (DA) authorization
and a State Water Quality Certification to construct a wooden bulkhead, on property located off
Swain Circle, adjacent to the Currituck Sound, in Point Harbor, Currituck County, North
Carolina. Your receipt of this letter verifies your acceptance of a valid request for certification
in accordance with Section 325.2(b)(ii) of our administrative regulations.
We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act, and we have determined that a water quality certification is required under the
provisions of Section 401 of the same law. A Department of the Army permit will not be
granted until the certification has been obtained or waived.
in accordance with. our administrative regulations, in most cases, 60 days after receipt
of a request for certification is a reasonable time for State action. Therefore, if you have
not acted on the request, or asked for an extension of time, by September 2, 1999, the District
Engineer will deem that waiver has occurred.

Lots 6 & 7, Swain Circle
Poplar Branch Township, Currituck County, North Carolina
Bulkhead Construction/Fill
Project Narrative
June 15, 1999
The subject site includes Lots 6 and 7 (11,491 and 8,08 square feet respectively) and is located
on Swain Circle in Poplar Branch Township, Currituck County, North Carolina, The subject site
is bordered on the east side by Currituck Sound. The proposed activity includes construction of
approximately 200 feet of wooden bulkhead with associated backfill and filling of approximately
733 square feet (approximately 28 cubic yards) of public trust waters (created by erosion in the
area of failed bulkhead). The wooden bulkhead will replace an existing, degraded bulkhead. The
new bulkhead will be constructed in front of the currently existing bulkhead and will be
waterward a distance sufficient to allow work between the two structures (approximately 2 feet).
The new bulkhead shall be a total average distance of 4.5 feet waterward of the old bulkhead and
this distance includes the erosion escarpment (23 feet depth by 55 feet length) along the northern
boundary of Lot 6. The desire to perform this activity resulted from continued erosion in this
area. The purpose of the proposed activity is to abate further erosion. The bulkhead will be
constructed using a backhoe to prepare the site and to place deadmen and tiebacks, a hydraulic
pump to place pilings and hand tools to fasten wooden components. Filter cloth will be placed
on the back side of the bulkhead to prevent silt or fine sand from passing through the bulkhead
into the sound. Following construction, the site shall be graded and seeded. No CAMA
jurisdictional wetlands or CWA Section 404 jurisdictional wetlands are going to be filled as a
result of the proposed project.
