WQC 401 Project #970523
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 350 square
feet of waters for the purpose of stabilizing a shoreline at 113 Tuna Drive, Holden Beach, as you described in
your application dated 24 June 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 fuial 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.
Sincerely,

FROM: Eric Fleek��
RE: Joe H. Allston Bulkhead Project /CAMA #107 -97
Mr. Allston's lot (which has no bulkhead) is between two lots
which have bulkeads. As a result, there is apparently a lot of
erosion occurring on the lot. He is requesting to align his
bulkhead with the two adjoining bulkheads. Impacts will be 7 feet
waterward of MHW and would impact approx. 350 sq. ft. of
unvegetated, subtidal bottom. This office believes the impacts to
be are very minimal and therefore has no objections.

8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing to construct a bulkhead across his 50 ft
lot, aligning with adjacent bulkheads.. That alignment would be approximately seven feet
waterward of mean high water and would incorporate approximately 350 sq. ft. of unvegetated
intertidal bottom.

9. PROTECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is an undeveloped residential lot located at 113 Tuna Drive in Holden Beach, NC, in
Brunswick County. The lot is 50 feet wide and approximately 125 feet in depth, on man-made Canal
#3 off the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. The average elevation of the lot is approximately six feet
above mean sea level (MSL). Lots on either side of the applicant's property are already bulkheaded and
extend approximately seven feet waterward of the mean high water mark. The waterward portion of the
applicant's property is tidally inundated. Mean high water currently rises between the two bulkheads
and appears to be causing erosion on the applicants property. The shoreline is not stabilized and is an
active unvegetated intertidal zone approximately twenty one feet in width of which seven feet extends
landward of the existing adjacent bulkheads on either side of the lot. An escarpment exists immediately
landward of the intertidal zone. Vegetated high ground consisting primarily of upland grasses and weeds
exists landward of the escarpment. No coastal wetlands were observed on the property.
The waters of the finger canal adjacent to the .project area are classified SA waters by the NC
Division of Environmental Management. The waters are CLOSED to the harvest of shellfish and are
not designated as Primary Nursery Area by the NC Division of Marine Fisheries.
The applicant proposes to construct a bulkhead in an alignment with the existing neighboring bulkheads,
seven feet waterward of mean high water. The bulkhead would be 50 feet long and constructed in
compliance with local and State building codes. The bulkhead alignment would result in the
incorporation of approximately 350 sq. ft. of intertidal habitat.
The proposed structure would require approximately 50 cubic yds of backfill from an approved upland
source.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The proposed project would incorporate approximately 350 square feet of inter- tidal, shallow bottom
habitat. No filling of coastal wetlands are anticipated from this project.

Mr. Allston received a permit for this project in 1991,
unfortunately he did not realize that the permit had an
expiration date. When Mr. Allston started preparing to
construct the bulkhead and found that his permit had lapsed
he asked me to help prepare the new application.
Attached you will find copies of the old permit and comment
letters along with the deed, site plan and a new application.
The proposed bulkhead is to connect between the bulkheads on
either side. The elevation of existing ground is
approximately 2' NGVD (MHW is 2.9'NGVD), (MLW is -1.8 NGVD).
There is no marsh grass in the proposed fill area. The area
behind the bulkhead is to be filled with clean sand from a
permitted mine.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
