December 30, 1997
Currituck County
WQC Project #970937
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 0.013 acres of wetlands or
waters for the purpose of constructing a home at the Currituck Club, Phase I, as you described in your application dated October
28, 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 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 Domey at 919 - 733 -1786.
Sincerely,
P ston Howard, Jr. P.E.

PrQipet Setting
The work site is located along the Estuarine Shoreline of the Currituck Sound in Currituck County.
Currituck Club Subdivision, adjacent to the Currituck Sound in Currituck County. The applicants' lot 504
Brown Pelican Court and is part of a new subdivision in Currituck County named The Currituck Club.
This subdivision is north of the Dare County line and is associated with The Currituck Golf Course which
is located between NC 12 and the Currituck Sound.
Current development within US COE jurisdiction at The Currituck Club was authorized by the US COE.
There have been no previous permits issued to the Lawrence's concerning this site. However previous -
CAMA activity did include the siting of a CAMA Major violation which concerned unauthorized
excavation of approximately 300 sf. of freshwater wetlands within the Estuarine Shoreline and a freshwater
wetland impact total of about 564 sf. There are approximately 230 linear feet of shoreline and about
17,250 sf. of Estuarine Shoreline on this lot. There are no geologic or archaeological interests known on
the site.
The applicants' sound front lot ranges in elevation from NWL at the Currituck Sound to about three and
one -half feet above NWL and the total lot size is less than one -half an acre. The lot slopes toward the
Currituck Sound and includes a coastal wetland fringe adjacent to the NWL, followed landward by a
freshwater wetland fringe which is adjacent to the upland area and provides a buffer between the marsh
and upland area. The upland area was vegetated in Ilex opaca, Quercus virginiana, Persea borbonia, and
Magnolia virginiana as well as Arundinaria and various sedges and field grasses.
The shoreline is not stabilized with any hardened structures in this vicinity. The shoreline gradient is
beach like with a sandy bottom. The Currituck Sound along this shoreline is shallow and is not more than
three feet deep several hundred feet from the shoreline. A small escarpment is present about ten feet
landward of the NWL. The coastal wetland vegetation fringe varies in width between a few feet and 30
feet and includes Sp. cynosuroides, Juncus roemerianus, Typha lat. and Sp. patens. The freshwater plant
species frjngejncluded(s) Myrica cerifera, Nyssa aquatica, Saururus cernuus and various sedges and vines.
The waters of the Currituck Sound are classified as Joint Waters by the Division of Marine Fisheries.
These waters are also classified by the Division of Coastal Management as both Estuarine and Public Trust
Waters, and as such, are part of the Estuarine System of Environmental Concern.
Project Description
The applicants propose to construct a single family residential structure within the Estuarine Shoreline of
the Currituck Sound. The applicants propose to fill and grade 7,650 sf. of their lot with sand to stabilize
the subject lot for the construction of a two story single family residence and garage. This development
will require the filling of 3,675 sf. of Estuarine Shoreline. About 300 sf. of this Estuarine Shoreline is also
404 / freshwater wetlands. The applicants also propose to fill 264 sf. of these freshwater wetlands which
are outside of but adjacent to the Estuarine Shoreline. This fill (564 sf.) has been recorded by the US COE
under Action ID No. 199705879 (Notification of Unauthorized Activity).

James and Marcia Lawrence, CAMA Major Application Bio Report,
Currituck County
Page Three
The proposed structure will be approximately 40 feet landward of the NWL. The total square footage of
this residence will be about 2500 sf. Approximately 412 sf. of the proposed residence will be within the
Estuarine Shoreline. The proposed development within the Estuarine Shoreline AEC will result in an
impervious lot coverage within the Estuarine Shoreline of less than 3 %.
The Currituck Club Subdivision is supplied water and sewer by a central water and sewer utility.
Anticipated impacts
The proposed development will require the placement of no fill material below the NWL, or any Estuarine
Waters. Fill and grading activity will result in the loss of 564 sf. of 404 / freshwater wetland habitat which
in essence has already been lost due to the recent excavation violation.
The applicants propose to fill and grade a total of 7,650 sf.; a total of 3,675 sf. is within the Estuarine
Shoreline of the Currituck Sound. The applicants have not proposed any direct impacts to the adjacent
coastal wetland fringe.
LAMA Review
A consistency review of the Currituck County Land -Use Plan will be submitted by John Thayer in a
different document in the near future.
