lization, we have determined that the proposed fill can be cov-
ered by General Water Quality Certification No. 2176 issued
November 4, 1987. A copy of the General Certification is
attached. This Certification may be used in qualifying for cov-
erage under Corps of Engineers' Nationwide Permit No. 26.

Site Description
The applicant currently owns the road right-of-way
along SR 1137, Narrow Shore Road, adjacent the Currituck
Sound, Aydlett, Currituck County. The shoreline is
characterized by a high bluff, 11' above normal water level,
dominated by Loblolly Pines, Pinus taeda, and White Oak,
4uercus alba. The aquatic environment consists of shallow
water habitat with an abundance of fallen trees due to rapid
erosion. No submerged aquatic vegetation was observed at
the project site. A wooden bulkhead currently stabilizes
100 ft. of shoreline immediately north of the proposed
project area.
The applicant proposes to stabilize 425' of roadside
shoulder as part of maintenance of an existing road.
General Permit #8096A was issued on March 15, 1991 for rip
rap 5' waterward of normal water level along 500 ft. of
shoreline in the project site. However, due to the slope of
the shoreline, the applicant feels that a larger base of rip
rap is needed in order to adequately stabilize the bank.
The additional rip-rap will provide a 15' wide base that
extends 10' waterward of the rip rap authorized under the
General Permit. The bank will be resloped at 2:1 in order
for the proposed rip rap to function properly. The slop of
the rip rap will be 3:1. Filter cloth and smaller rock will
serve as a barrier against sediment entry into the water.
The adjacent waters are classified as SC.
Anticipated Impacts
The additional placement of rip rap will result in the
loss of 6,375 square feet of shallow water habitat. Local,
short-termed turbidity will be a result of rip rap
placement.
CAMA Review
The proposed development site falls within the
Conservation land classification in Currituck County's land
use plan. The County calls for long term management of such
lands and for development to be steered away from sensitive
areas.
The proposed site is more specifically covered by the
Estuarine Waters and Estuarine Shoreline AEC policies of the
County's plan. Uses allowed by CAMA permits standards are

NC Department of Transportation
Bio Report
Page Three
acceptable in the Estuarine System. Protection of the
ecological values is highlighted for both AEC's. In
addition to being compatible with the estuarine shoreline,
the development must meet three performance standards in
both AEC's:
1) A substantial chance of pollution from the
development does not exist.
2) Development does not have a significant adverse
impact on estuarine resources.
3) Development does not significantly interfere
with existing public rights of access to, or use
of, navigable waters or public resources.
Based on CAMA permit regulations, the proposed rip rap
as a particular use is consistent with Currituck county's
land use plan. In addition, it is compatible with the
present shoreline which is eroded back to a cliff which is
11 feet above NWL.
However, the placement and physical dimensions of the
rip rap must protect the ecological values of the AEC's and
the three performance standards reference previously.
Reviewing agencies must evaluate the proposed development in
light of these County policy objectives. For land use plan
consistency to be achieved, the proposed development must
satisfy the objectives.

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 may be 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, 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 by June 4, 1991, the District
Engineer will deem that waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Ralph Thompson, telephone
[phone].

Currituck County, filed an application on March 21, 1991,
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 NC DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION proposes to stabilize 425' of roadside
shoulder with rip rap. The rip rap will be placed on a 3:1
slope with a base that extends 15' waterward of NWL. The
applicant currently has a General Permit for rip rap 5'
waterward of NWL along the shoreline. The project site is
located at SR 1137 - Narrow Shore Road, adjacent Currituck
Sound, Aydlett, Currituck County.
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

Division of Coastal Management, 1367 US 17 South, Elizabeth.
City, N.C., 919/264-3901, and/or the office of Deborah
Sawyer, Division of Environmental. Management, NRCD Regional
Field Office, Washington, N.C.,,919/946-6481.
The Division of Environmental Management proposes to take
final action on this water quality certification on qr before
April 27, 1991. 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 subsequent hearings that may result.
All persons desiring to make comments should do so in
writing to Roger Schecter, Director, Division of Coastal
Management, P.O. Box 27687, Raleigh, N.C., 27611, prior to
April 22, 1991 for consideration in the LAMA permit
decision, and to Mr. Bill Mills, Division of Environmental
Management, P.O. Box 27687, Raleigh, N.C., 27611, prior to
April 17, 1991 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.
