— -----------------------
This letter will confirm the decisions made on your request to construct a
rip -rap erosion barrier and to improve the pier as part of the permit you have
for a recreation residence on the Croatan National Forest.
The work on the pier (construct it 6-feet wide by 10-feet long with a T-head
platform 5-feet by 20-feet) is approved. You may proceed with this work on the
pier whenever you like as far as we are concerned.
The request to construct a rip -rap revetment 90-feet long by 5-feet wide is not
approved. This matter has been given much thought, and consultation was made
with the faculty at East Carolina University who study these things. Some of
the reasons that went into the decision are that, according to studies, barriers
like this tend to shift and accelerate shoreline erosion to other points on the
shoreline. In the event of a hurricane, or major storm, the barriers have no
effect on impacts to the shore. Shoreline erosion, or movement, is a natural
process. We have several other locations on the Forest, most on the Neuse
River, where the shoreline is eroding. Over the years, it has generally been
our policy to allow this natural process to continue. In some locations the
shoreline is decreasing, in others, it is increasing.
This decision may be appealed to the Forest Supervisor. If you choose to do so,
your appeal should be written and sent to Mr. Bjorn Dahl, Forest Supervisor,
National Forests in North Carolina, P.O. Box 2750, Asheville, NC 28802.
Sincerely,
IL, 6 (4 /a, t1-14�

On June 12, 1991, I wrote to the Forest Service asking
for an inquiry into whether the decision to deny
construction of a rip -rap erosion barrier on Mrs. Underwood's
property could be reviewed again.
As of this date, I do not have an answer to my inquiry on
behalf of Mrs. Underwood. I have received several letters;
however, I have not been given an answer to this request.
I will appreciate your reply to my Wilmington District Office,
as to the status of Mrs. Underwood's case.
Thank you.

Dear Congressman Rose:
Thank you for your letter of June 12, 1991, on behalf of Ms. Jo -Ann Underwood.
Ms. Underwood is concerned about the Forest Service denial of a permit to use
National Forest lands for an erosion control structure. The intent of the
structure is to protect a recreation residence on the Croatan National Forest.
Because your inquiry is best handled at the field level, we have forwarded your
letter to Regional Forester John Alcock in Atlanta, Georgia. His office will
look into the situation Ms. Underwood described and reply to you shortly.

Dear Congressman Rose:
This is in response to your inquiry regarding Jo Ann Underwood's application to
construct a 90-foot riprap revetment along the shoreline to protect National
Forest System land from being eroded away. We have asked the Division of
Management to advise us regarding the effect of such a project on the adjoining
and nearby shoreline, and if this is the best method of stabilizing the
shoreline.
A copy of our letter to the Division of Coastal Management is enclosed. We also
sent a copy of this letter to Jo Ann Underwood and advised her by phone of our
action.
We appreciate this and all opportunities to inform you on matters concerning the
management of the National Forests in North Carolina. If you should need
additional information, please let us know.

RE: Jo Ann Underwood
Riprap Revetment
Dear Mr. Mercer:
As discussed yesterday, we need your help on resolving the following questions
relative to Jo Ann Underwood's application to construct a 90-foot riprap
revetment along the shoreline of Lot 10, which is National Forest System land
under special use as a summer home.
The permit was denied on grounds that such a riprap revetment might "tend to
shift and accelerate erosion to other points on the shoreline."
We consider that you have the best expertise in your division to answer our
questions regarding the effects of the proposed structure on adjoining and
nearby shoreline. Also, please advise Us if riprap such as proposed is the best
method of stabilizing the shoreline in question.
We appreciate your cooperation.

RE: Jo Ann Underwood - Riprap Revetment
Dear Mr. Gurganus:
Thank you for your recent letter and phone call concerning
Jo Ann Underwood's application to construct a 90' riprap
revetment at Lot #10, of the National Forest System land located
on the White Oak River in Carteret County. I appreciate the
extra attention you and the Forest Service have given her project
and the cooperation shown to the North Carolina Coastal
Management Program.
As I mentioned, the Division of Coastal Management is poised
to issue Ms. Underwood a General Permit pursuant to 15 NCAC,
Subchapter 7H.1100 once permission has been received from your
agency. I have conducted two onsite evaluations and remain
confident that the proposed riprap is consistent with the North
Carolina Coastal Area Management Act and that the project will
generate no adverse impact on either the estuarine resources or
the integrity of the adjacent shoreline. Attached for your
review is a copy of the State regulation and special conditions
pertaining to the construction.
Based on my experience, riprap is the best method to use at
the Underwood site. The proposed riprap will arrest the erosion
problem while dissipating wave energy. Although the adjacent
property is exposed and eroding at the same rate as the project
shoreline, it is highly unlikely that the proposed structure will
transfer or accelerate erosion to the neighboring shoreline. In
