Re: Puhlick Bulkhead
Dear Mr. Patterson:
General Permit #10047-A was issued o Mr. Tianuhli�r
(property owner) and Mr. Mike Bowling (houseontractor) for the
construction of a bulkhead at Lot 154, S. Albacore St., in Hatteras
Colony, Avon, Dare County. The bulkhead alignment was staked such
that along the canal the bulkhead could extend into the water as
far as 2 ft. However, along the basin side, the alignment was
pulled behind a 1-2 ft. fringe of coastal wetlands along portions
of the alignment. Such an alignment is common in the canal systems
of the outer banks where marsh fringes have colonized the
land/water interface.
Mr. Patterson, as an experienced bulkhead contractor you have
seen and had to work with similar bulkhead alignments in the past.
As the bulkhead contractor for the Puhlick project you were
responsible for constructing the bulkhead along or behind the
staked alignment without severely impacting the wetland fringe. On
two site inspections on August 6, 1992 and August 26, 1992 I found
that all of the fringe marsh, including the root mat, had been dug
up or washed out. Such impacts to the wetlands are a violation of
the General Permit conditions Title 15A: 07H .1100. Typically, the
alignment that is staked is the most waterward distance that the
bulkhead is allowed. If your construction methods are such that
you are unable to put the bulkhead along that line without
impacting the wetlands, then you need to build it well behind that
line to avoid wetland impacts. Along the same canal in Avon there
are bulkheads that were constructed without severely impacting the
wetland fringe.

In this particular case the area of wetlands impacted was less
than 100 sq. ft. Because of the small area of wetlands lost and
because I do not feel that the property owner should be held
responsible for your sloppy construction methods in this case, I am
not going to pursue a violation at this time. However, this letter
should serve as a strong warning that future losses of wetland
fringe due to poor construction methods will not be tolerated and
a Notice of Violation will require full restoration of the impacted
area as well as a civil penalty against you and the property owner.
Your cooperation in avoiding such impacts in the future will
be appreciated. If you have any questions concerning this matter
you can contact me at this office during normal business hours.
Sincerely,

Re: State General Permit #10047A
Dear Mr. Bowling:
On July 29, 1992 General Permit #10047A was issued to you and
Mr. Dan Puhlick for the construction of a bulkhead on Mr. Puhlick's
property at Lot 154, S. Albacore Street, Hatteras Colony, Avon,
Dare County. You wrote check No. 724 from The East Carolina Bank
of Nags Head, to cover the application fee for the permit. That
check was returned twice because of insufficient funds in your
account.
We now request a certified check or money order for $50.00 to
cover the application fee. Failure to comply with this request
will result in legal action from the State Attorney General's
Office. Please forward a certified check or money order to this
office as soon as possible. Your cooperation in resolving this
matter quickly is appreciated.
Sincerely,
