APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Condition
Dear Mr. Bullard:
October 6, 2003
DWQ# 03-1140
Pamlico County
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to usurp and shade 0.02 acre of non-vegetated wetlands in
order to construct a boathouse and pier at Lot 27 on Shoreline Court in Oriental Plantation in Pamlico County, as described in your
application received by the Division of Water Quality on September 11, 2003. After reviewing your application, we have determined that
this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3400, which can be downloaded from our web site at
htto://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetiands . This Certification allows you to use your CAMA Permit when issued by the NC Division of Coastal
Management. 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, Non-Discharge, Water Supply Watershed and U.S. Coast Guard regulations. Also this approval
will expire when the accompanying 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 in writing and you may be required to send us a new application for a new certification. If the property is sold, the new
owner must be given a copy of the 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 and the additional
conditions listed below:
1. You are required to return the attached Certification of Completion form to notify DWO when all work included in the 401
Certification has been completed;
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 conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina
General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. 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 Tom Steffens in our Washington Regional Office at [phone] or Cyndi Karoly in our Central Office in
Raleigh at [phone].

and a 3' by 37' finger pier adjacent to the existing pier.
Mr. and Mrs. Rick Bullard
Pamlico County
Project Setting
The applicant owns three lots with a combined area of 2.07 acres adjacent to Smith Creek
near Oriental in Pamlico County, North Carolina. The property is located off NCSR 1311 at Lots#25,
26, and 27 on Shoreline Ct, in the Oriental Plantation Subdivision. The site is in a developed
residential neighborhood and is vegetated with a mix of pines, shrub species, poison ivy, catbrier,
and scattered bay trees. Elevation of the property is 7 feet above the normal water level. The water is
approximately 3.5 feet deep at the end of the pier structure. The applicant has an existing 6'x 100'
pier with a 45'x 8' L-head. Adjacent to the pier is a 12'x 14' slip with a boatlift. Most of the shoreline
is vegetated with coastal marsh species, and fingers of this vegetation extend inland on both sides of
the property. These wetlands are dominated by Spartina cynosuroides and Juncus roemerianus with
wax myrtles and cedar trees along the upland border. The 40' section of high ground that borders
Smith Creek has been stabilized with a vertical wooden bulkhead. The pier leaves the property from
the center of the bulkhead.
The property is located in a small residential neighborhood on the south shore of Smith
Creek. The properties to the east and west of the project area are developed lots with single-family
residences. Both properties have private piers with slips for two vessels. The shoreline in this area is
natural and contains several areas of coastal wetlands extending from the creek, landward
approximately 100 to 200 feet. Uplands on the lots are vegetated with landscape plants, mixed pines,
upland grasses and scattered hardwoods.
At this location, Smith Creek is classified SC HQW NSW by the Environmental
Management Commission. The NC Division of Marine Fisheries classifies this portion of Smith
Creek as a Primary Nursery Area. The property is located in the Neuse River Basin, and is subject to
the Environmental Management Commission's (EMC) Neuse River Basin Nutrient Sensitive Waters
Management Strategy. The waters are closed to the harvesting of shellfish.
Project Description
The applicant proposes to construct a 17.3' by 39' boathouse in the location of the existing
boatlift and to construct two finger piers. One finger pier would measure 3' by 17.5' and the other
would be 3' by 37'. The finger piers would extend across the front and on the north side of the
proposed boathouse. Half of the catwalks will be under the roof, and halfwould not. Addition of the
finger piers would bring the total platform square footage to 442 square feet. The applicant owns a
30' boat, and requires the additional square footage of coverage in order to adequately store his boat.
Anticipated Impacts
The project as proposed would impact 789 ftz. The boathouse and finger piers would shade
789 ftz of creek bottom and would usurp an additional 506 ft2 of Public Trust Area. As proposed, the
entire pier structure would provide permanent slips for one vessel. Short-term localized turbidity
would result from construction.
