APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and Neuse River Buffer Rules
Ms. Donna Wood
5405 Stewart Drive
Virginia Beach VA 23464
Dear Ms. Wood:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 546 square
feet of wetlands or waters for the purpose of replacing a bulkhead and pier, as you described in your
application dated November 10, 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 211.0506 (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 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 Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water
Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-1786.

Dear Mr. Dorney:

Please reference the application of Donna L. Wood for Department of the Army (DA)
authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to replace a bulkhead and construct a pier,
on property located off State Road 1406, in the Little River Shores Subdivision, adjacent the
Little River, in Perquimans 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.
In accordance with our administrative regulations, in most cases, 60 days after
receipt of a request for certification is a reasonable time for State action. Therefore, if you
have not acted on the request, or asked for an extension of time, by January 17, 1998, the
District Engineer will deem that waiver has occurred.

bulkhead and to construct a 6' x 150' pier with a 20' x 25' platform in the Public Trust and Estuarine
Waters. The maximum distance from shore for the proposed bulkhead is 14 feet.

Donna L. Wood
Bio Report
Page Two
The applicant owns a .34 acre lot in the Little River Shores Subdivision, located at #6,
Section A, Shore Drive (SR 1406), New Hope Area, Perquimans County and the Little River.
The lot is mostly level with an average elevation of approximately 6 feet above sea level. It is
vegetated with loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), sweet gum (i .iquidsmbar stari.ifl ua), wax myrtle
(Myrica cerifera) and indigenous grasses. The soils are a silt loam type. Adjacent properties
consist of similar sized lots. Both lots are bulkheaded and one has a single family dwelling.
The applicant purchased the lot in 1982 and a bulkhead had been constructed along the
shoreline prior to the purchase date. Several years ago, the bulkhead was damaged during a
storm and a section located almost in the center of the lot's shoreline, separated. Because of
the breach in the bulkhead, the riverbank began eroding. Currently a semicircular area of
approximately 231 square feet has eroded behind the breached bulkhead. Public Trust and
Estuarine Waters occupy the eroded area and a wetland fringe vegetated with arrow arum
(Peitandra virginica) has been established.
A second area of the bulkhead located at the southeastern corner of the lot has also
suffered storm damage and a triangular shaped area of approximately 35 square feet is being
occupied by Estuarine Waters.
The waters of the Little River are classified as SC by the Division of Environmental
Management.
In order to protect her shoreline from further erosion, the applicant proposes to rebuild
her bulkhead to its original alignment.' Approximately 50 feet of treated wooden bulkhead will
be replaced and backfilled. The bulkhead alignment for the repair area will average 6' from
shore with a maximum distance of 14'. The applicant also proposes to construct a 6' x 150'
pier with a 20' x 25' platform at the pier end.
The repair and backfill of the breached sections will result in 266 square feet of Public
Trust/Estuarine Waters being filled. The backfill will also result in approximately 280 square
feet of wetland fringe being filled. The construction of the pier and platform will result in
1,400 square feet of Public Trust and Estuarine Waters being shaded.

The site plan supplied by the applicant delineates wetland areas immediately behind the
damaged bulkhead sections. A site verification revealed that river water now occupies that
area and a wetland area exists adjacent to the water.
The development proposal includes Public Trust, Estuarine Waters and Estuarine
Shoreline Areas of Environmental Concern. Short term turbidity of adjacent waters will occur
during construction of the bulkhead and pier. , No archeological sites are known to be
associated with the project area. There are no unique remnant species or geological formations
known to be associated with this site.
