You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 280 square
feet of waters for the purpose of constructing a replacement bulkhead at 217 Main Street in Bath, as you
described in your application dated 14 May 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 Dorney at 919- 733 -1786.

Dear Mr. Dorney:
Please reference the application of Paul and Irene Komarow for Department of the
Army (DA) authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to reconstruct a concrete
bulkhead, on property located at 217 S. Main Street, adjacent Bath Creek, in the Town of
Bath, Beaufort 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 July 20, 1997, the District
Engineer will deem that waiver has occurred.

8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to construct a replacement bulkhead averaging 4'
waterward of the normal water level.

Komarow, Paul and Irene
Bath
Beaufort County
Project setting
The project site is located at 217 South Main Street in the Town of Bath within the historic
district on Bath Creek in Beaufort County, North Carolina. The property is bordered on the north
(upstream) side by a developed lot with a bulkhead, pier and boathouse. The south (downstream)
side of the property is bordered by a developed lot with a ripraped shoreline and a pier. The
property measures ±95' along the shoreline and is bulkheaded along the entire length with a concrete
bulkhead that is failing along an ±75' section. An existing home with a landscaped lot and workshop
are present on the site. Also on the property is a existing pier, with a L -head, catwalk and mooring
pilings, a boathouse, and a boat ramp. The area is vegetated with lawn grass and various landscape
shrubs adjacent the dwelling.
Bath Creek at this site is classified as SB -NSW by the Environmental Management
Commission. Bath creek at the project site is inland water and is classified as an inland nursery area
by the Wildlife Resources Commission.
Project description
The applicant proposes to construct an approximately 70' long bulkhead to replace the failing
section of the existing ±95' bulkhead. The applicant proposes to realign the new bulkhead to
eliminate the corner caused by the downstream ripraped property. The new alignment will require
moving the bulkhead waterward ±12' on the downstream (south) end, of which ±8' will be below
the normal water level. The upstream end will attach to the existing bulkhead and the average
distance waterward for the new bulkhead will be ±4' with a maximum of ±8' at the south end.
Anticipated impacts
The project as proposed will result in the filling ±280 ftz of creek bottom from the
construction of the bulkhead. The project as proposed will result in localized turbidity as a result
of the construction activities.
