CERTIFICATION
THIS CERTIFICATION is issued in conformity with the
requirements of Section 401 Public Laws 92-500 and 95-217 of the
United States and subject to the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management Regulations in 15 NCAC 2H, Section .0500
to Arrowhead Property Owners Association pursuant to an
application filed on the 20th day of July, 1989 to construct a
walkway with an attached breakwater.
The Application provides adequate assurance that the
discharge of fill material into a wetlands area adjacent to the
waters of Dillards Creek in conjunction with the proposed walkway
and breakwater in Chowan County will not result in a violation of
applicable Water Quality Standards and discharge guidelines.
Therefore, the State of North Carolina certifies that this
activity will not violate Sections 301, 302, 303, 306, 307 of PL
92-500 and PL 95-217 if conducted in accordance with the
application and conditions hereinafter set forth.
Condition(s) of Certification:
1. That the activity be conducted in such a manner as
to prevent significant increase in turbidity
outside the area of construction or construction
related discharge (increases such that the
turbidity in the Stream is 50 NTU's or less are not
considered significant).
Violations of any condition herein set forth shall result in
revocation of this Certification.
This Certification shall become null and void unless the
above conditions are made conditions of the Federal Permit.
This the 9th day of October, 1989.

NOTICE OF FILING OF ?-
APPLICATION FOR CAMA MAJOR DEVELOPMENT
PERMIT AND WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION `.?
The Department of Natural Resources and Community
Development hereby gives public notice as required by NCGS
113A-119(b) and 143-215 3(a)(1)(c) that ARROWHEAD PROPERTY
OWNER'S ASSOCIATION of Chowan County, filed an application on May
30, 1989, for a permit from the Division of Coastal Management to
develop in an Area of Environmental Concern and for certification
from the Division of Environmental Management that a discharge of
fill material in project wetlands will not violate applicable
water quality standards.
According to said application Arrowhead Property Owner's
Association proposes to build a 160' by 6' walkway with an
attached 160' breakwater along Dillard Creek and to grade and
fill 12,000 square feet of vegetated wetlands.
A copy of the entire application and additional information
may be examined (or copies furnished upon request and payment of
reproduction costs) during normal business hours at the office of
Richard Watts, Division of Coastal Management, located at Route
6, Box 203, Elizabeth City, N.C., [phone], and/or the
office of Deborah Sawyer, Division of Environmental Management,
NRCD Regional Field Office, Washington, N.C., 27889. (919)
946-6481.
The Division of Environmental Management proposes to take
final action on this water quality certification on or before
September 11, 1989. The issuance of the CAMA Major Development
permit and the Section 401 Certification may deviate from this
projected date depending 'upon the nature of the comments
submitted and subsegfient hearings that may result.
All persons desiring to make comments should do so in
writing to Mr. George T. Everett, Director, Division of Coastal
Management, P.O. Box 27687, Raleigh, N.C., 27611, prior to
September 6, 1989 for consideration in the CAMA permit decision,
and to Mr. Bill Mills, Division of Environmental Management, P.O.
Box 27687, Raleigh, N.C., 27611, prior to September 6, 1989 for
consideration in the water quality certification decision. Later
comments on the CAMA application will be accepted and considered
up to the time of permit decision. Project modifications may
occur based on review and comment by the public and state and
federal agencies. Notice of the permit decision in this matter
will be provided upon request.

Site Report
Applicant currently owns lots 5 through 12, section EE, Arrowhead
Beach subdivision, Chowan County. This area measuring 1600 sq.ft.
(.037 acres), was purchased by the homeowner's association to provide
resident access to Dillard Creek (classified inland waters). The lots
are bordered on one side by Arapahoe Trail easement and Dillard Creek.
The land in question is vegetated by: Acer rubrum (Red Maple),
Taxodium distichum (Bald Cypress), Celtic occidentalis (Hackberry),
Salix nigra (Black Willow), Scirpus cyperinus (Woolgrass), Juncus
canadensis (Canada Rush), Typha spp. (cat-tails) and Juncus effusus
(Soft-needle Rush).
The area identified as the easement for Arapahoe Trail is covered
by a variety of sedges, plantains and rushes. Standing water was
found in depressions on much of the easement.
The applicant's representative claims the project's land was
disturbed in 1988 by heavy equipment activity. The disturbed land
then trapped water which favored the present stand of plants.
The applicant proposes to construct an elevated walkway (160' X
61) and breakwater (1601) along their property on Dillard's Creek.
The breakwater would be supported by the walkway pilings most waterward
rom the land.
)' ,' Dillard Creek averages 3 feet in depth along the breakwater
al gnments
.`It is proposed the association's lots and road easement (12,000
sq. ft) be graded and filled with crushed marl.
