APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Mr. Stephen Sawyer
6017 Lockamy Lane
Norfolk, Va 23502
Dear Mr. Sawyer:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 590 square
feet of wetlands or waters for the purpose of stabilizing a shoreline at Lots H-22 and H-33, Explorer Arch,
Holiday Island subdivision, as you described in your application dated October 27, 1997. 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 you may be required to send us a new application. 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.
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 o` the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of
Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 276 1 1-7447. 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 919-733-1786.

Bio Report

Site Descri to ion
The applicants own two adjacent lots (Lots H-22 and H-33) in the camping section of
Holiday Island Subdivision, Perquimans County. Each lot is 40 ft. X 90 ft. and both have a
combined shoreline length of 80 feet along a man-made canal off the Albemarle Sound. The
properties are accessible from Holiday Island Road (SR 1347) through Discovery Trail
(private) to Explorer Arch (private). Adjacent property consists of like sized lots developed
with quasi-permanent camping trailers. The lot to the east is bulkheaded and the lot to the
west is not.
Both the applicants' lots are developed with camper type structures. Vegetation on the
property consists of loblolly pine inus taeda), beech (EQ= ran if lia) and indigenous
grasses which are regularly mowed. The elevation of the property is approximately 3 feet
above sea level and the soils are a sandy loam type.
Near the shoreline, a wetland fringe vegetated with arrow arum (Peltandra virginica),
marsh pennywort (Hydrocotyle umbellata) and marsh purslane (Ludwigia alus ) exists.
The applicants have been using this area as a boatramp and as an area to beach small boats.
The vegetated wetland area size is 350 square feet and the applicants have indicated a 10 inch
annual shoreline erosion rate. The waters of the Albemarle Sound in this area are classified as
SB by the Division of Environmental Management.
Development Proposal
In order to protect their property from flooding and from erosion, the applicants propose
to construct 80 feet of treated wooden bulkhead an average distance of 3 feet waterward of
normal water level with a 5 foot maximum distance from shore. The applicants propose to
backfill the bulkhead and to fill the wetland fringe area.
Anticipated Impacts
The construction of the bulkhead and the associated backfilling will result in 240 square
feet of Public Trust and Estuarine Waters being filled and 350 square feet of vegetated
wetlands located in the Estuarine Shoreline Area of Environmental concern being filled.
Approximately 15 cubic yards of fill material will be placed below NWL for bulkhead
backfill. Temporary water turbidity will occur during construction.
CAMA Review
This proposal is being reviewed as a CAMA Major Permit Application since the
proposed bulkhead will be placed along a shoreline that is not void of wetland vegetation.
