MEMORANDUM

Water Quality Section

FROM: Frank McBride, Manager
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: September 13, 1994
SUBJECT: 401 Water Quality Certification for Martha Howe, Emerald Isle, Bogue Sound,
Carteret County, North Carolina. DEM# 94783.
Staff biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission have reviewed
the subject 401 certification and are familiar with the subject area. An onsite investigation was
conducted on September 12, 1994 for the purpose of assessing impacts to wildlife and fisheries
resources resulting from the proposed project. This correspondence is provided with certain
provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et
seq.), and section 401.b of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (as amended), and North Carolina
General Statutes (G. S. 113 -13 1 et seq.)..
sd
The applicant, Ms. Martha Howe, is proposing to fill 0.54 acres of wetlands associated
with a dune and swale maritime forest on Bogue Banks in the town of Emerald Isle. The purpose
of the filling is to promote commercial development on the property. The property is long and
narrow and parallels NC 58 from Bogue Sound to Coast Guard road.
As proposed, the Wildlife Resources Commission has concerns with this project, in that
valuable wetland will be altered or lost. The WRC considers wetland areas to be significant for
wildlife and fish habitat and opposes their destruction or alteration. Maritime forest wetlands
have been especially hard hit by development. We feel that the project should be altered to
prevent wetland fill and request that a 401 Water Quality Certification not be issued unless plans
are modified.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this application. If we can
provide further assistance, please contact Bobby Maddrey at [phone].

Dear Ms. Howe:
Fill. F Pn; tl TV
You have our approval to place fill material in 0.24 acres of wetlands or waters for the
purpose of commercial lot fill at Hwy 58 on Bogue Banks near bridge to Emerald Isle, as you
described in your application dated 14 August 1994. After reviewing your application, we have
decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 2671. This
certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 26 when it is issued by the Corps of
Engineers.
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 you may be required to send us a new
application. For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached
certification. The central, larger wetland site shall not be filled. In addition, you should get any
other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory
hearing. You must act within 30 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 Environmental Management under Section
401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-

Enclosed is a Nationwide Permit request by Ms. Martha Howe in
Emerald Isle, NC to fill 0.54 acres of wetlands. A NWP 26 is
proposed for fill to bring 404 areas to grade with existing high
ground areas for the purpose of providing suitable building area
while also meeting parking and stormwater needs. The wetlands
proposed for fill are isolated areas well behind the AEC line.
Thank you for your timely response and should you have any
further questions, please feel free to contact me at your
convenience.
