Dear Mr. Dorney:
O?
Gam'
I
Enclosed is the application of Lee R. Troutman for Department of the
Army authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to install a new
50-foot-long bulkhead 15 feet waterward from an existing bulkhead to line up
with existing neighbors, bulkheads, and the placement of approximately
30 cubic yards of sandy backfill in 750 square feet of unvegetated shallow
bottom of Myrtle Grove Sound, at 404 Canal Drive, Carolina Beach, New Hanover
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.
According to our administrative regulations, 60 days is reasonable for
State action. Therefore, if you have not acted on the request, or asked for an
extension of time, by January 25, 1998, the District Engineer will deem that
waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to the undersigned of the
Regulatory Division, telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
:Jeffrey H. Richter

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is located at 505 Canal Drive, in Carolina Beach, NC, in New Hanover County. The property
is an undeveloped residential lot on the east side of Carolina Beach Yacht Basin. The lot is 50 feet wide and
approximately 80 feet deep from Canal Drive. The highground is cleared and maintained as a lawn. There
is an old wooden bulkhead stabilizing the waterward side of the lot, and an existing pier and floating dock
extending from the center of the bulkhead. The waterfronts of both adjacent residential properties are both
stabilized by an existing bulkheads, approximately 15 feet waterward of the applicant's property. The shallow
bottom in front of the applicant's bulkhead is sandy and unvegetated. The elevation of the lot is 8 feet above
mean sea level.
The Carolina Beach Yacht Basin is approximately 450 feet wide in the project area. It is classified as SB by
the NC Division of Water Quality, and is CLOSED to the harvest of shellfish. The basin is not a designated
primary nursery area (PNA) by the NC Division of Marine Fisheries.
The applicant proposes to construct a new bulkhead along the west side of the property and position it to
align with the two existing bulkheads on adjacent property. The proposed bulkhead placement would be
located 15 feet waterward of the old existing bulkhead. Backfill material for the proposed wall would be
imported from an upland source new bulkhead.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The construction of the bulkhead would incorporate 750 square feet of Estuarine Waters, Public Trust Area,
and shallow water bottom. The project would align the stabilized shoreline in the immediate area and
eliminate the accumulation of trash and debris within the currently recessed area between the adjacent .
bulkheads, allowing the applicant equal use of his property.
