9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is located at 1324 Final Landing Lane in Wilmington, adjacent to Middle Sound and the Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW), in New Hanover County. The property is accessed by heading north toward
Porters Neck on Market Street (Hwy 17), Turn right onto Porters Neck Road and travel approximately 0.9 miles
to the traffic circle and take your first exit onto Edgewater Club Road. Travel approximately 1.3 miles on Edgewater
Club Road and take a slight left into Final Landing Lane after the sharp left curve. Travel approximately 480' and
turn right onto a dirt road that services 1318, 1320, and 1322 Final Landing Lane. The subject property is at the
end of the road.
The 1.82 acre property is adjacent to Middle Sound and the AIWW near the mouth of Little Creek in the Porters
Neck area of New Hanover County. The parcel has culverted access across a drainage feature to an existing
single-family residence on pilings. The adjacent properties are also single-family homes. Elevation ranges from
approximately 0-15' above normal high water (NHW) with upland vegetation primarily consisting of natural coastal
shrub/scrub species. The parcel has approximately 118' of shoreline that descends from the highground quickly
into a narrow band of high marsh with vegetation including sea oxeye (Borrichia frutescens) and spike grass
(Distichlis spicata) and then gives way to low marsh dominated by saltmarsh cord grass (Spartina altemaflora). A
drainage feature runs along the north side of the residence where it meets a small tidal cove surrounded by coastal
wetlands with the exception of a narrow shell/sand highground spit between the cove and the AIWW. The cove
is able to exchange water during high tide through a narrow opening in coastal wetlands to the adjacent Little
Creek.
State Permit 76-95 was issued on June 12, 1995 authorizing §404 wetland fill in association with the construction
of the house. State Permit 76-95 expired on December 31, 1998. There is no existing docking facility or other
water dependent development on the parcel. The adjacent property to the north, 1330 Final Landing Lane was
issued State Permit 42-18 on May 10, 2018 for a docking facility and excavation under the proposed slips, through
the mouth of Little Creek, and out to the AIWW federally maintained channel. The existing cove in front of the
applicant's property drains to this maintained channel. No other permit history was found.
The Wilmington -New Hanover County 2006 Land Use Plan classifies adjacent waters and high ground portion at
the property as Conservation, The waters of the AIWW and Middle Sound in the vicinity of the project area are
classified SA-ORW by the Division of Water Quality. They are NOT designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA)
by the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries and they are CLOSED to the harvest of shellfish.
PROPOSED PROJECT
The applicant proposes to construct a bulkhead landward of coastal wetlands and a new 4 slip docking facility that
includes 4 boatlifts a gazebo and a floating jet ski platform. The applicant proposes to install a 490' bulkhead 1'
landward of §404 and coastal wetlands. The proposed bulkhead would run from the southern property boundary
north along the AIWW and then wrap back toward the west around the home along the drainage area to the
culvert. Bulkhead stabilization is proposed for both sides of the culverted driveway. Additionally, the applicant
proposes to construct a docking facility that would pier over the cove to reach the AIWW. The docking facility
would include a 6' by 500' fixed pier with a terminal 12' by 12' gazebo positioned on the south side of the fixed
pier (see Sheet 3 of 5). To accommodate navigation and use of Public Trust waters the fixed pier would have a
10' section elevated 6' above NHW within the cove to allow access. Additionally, the applicant proposes access
stairs from the fixed pier to the narrow highground sand/shell spit between the cove and the AIWW. Approximately
97' of the fixed pier would be over coastal wetlands including wetland areas surrounding the cove. The access
pier would extend approximately 211' below NHW, as measured from the NHW line adjacent to the AIWW. A
1324 Final Landing Lane, Warren, Kyle
Page Three
ramp would extend waterward from the fixed pier onto the U-shaped floating dock. The U-shaped docks would
include a 6' by 24' floating finger pier in -line with the fixed pier positioned perpendicular to the shoreline, connected
to an 8' by 42' floating dock extending north, positioned parallel with the shoreline, connected to another 8' by 24'
floating finger pier perpendicular to the shoreline. The applicant proposes to install four (4) 13' by 13' boatlifts,
two (2) lifts would be on the inside of the U-shaped floating docks and two (2) positioned on the outside of each
floating finger pier. Additionally, a 13' by 13' jet ski float is proposed to be located on the landward side of the 8'
by 42' floating dock (see Sheet 3 of 5). The water depths measured by DCM during the December 17th site visit
are consistent with the depths shown on Sheet 4 of 5. The docking facility adheres to the eight square -foot rule
and would extend approximately 190' into the 760' wide waterbody meeting the % width rule as shown on Sheet
1 of 5. The proposed structures would not encroach into either adjacent 15' riparian corridor setback. During the
May 24th, 2021, onsite scoping meeting with the NC Division of Water Resources and the agent no areas of
submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) were noted, a few living dams were identified but no extensive shellfish beds
were identified in the project area.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The project area consists of Estuarine Waters, Coastal Wetlands, Estuarine Shoreline, and high ground impacts.
As proposed, the new bulkhead would permanently impact 490 ft2 of high ground. The new docking facility
would result in the incorporation of approximately 4,661 ft2 of Public Trust Area and Estuarine Waters and
shading of approximately 592 ft2 of Coastal Wetlands. There would be no encroachment of the15' riparian
setback, pier headline, or % width. Water depths in the ORW area proposed for floating structures and
boatlifts would be shallower than -2 NLW, requiring written concurrence from the Division or Water
Resources. There appear to be no SAV present in the project area. Minor increases in turbidity should be
expected during project construction,

4. DCM MP-1 Section 6.0 Additionai information
4.1 Section 6. a. Project Narrative
4.1.1 Project Location and Existing Conditions
The project is adjacent to the Intracoastal Waterway at 1324 Final Landing Lane near the Figure 8 Island Bridge,
New Hanover County. There is a single-family residence currently located on the property. There are no piers
or docking facilities currently located on the property. Permit number 42-18 was issued to adjacent landowner
Dennis Duke on May 10, 2018. The adjacent permit authorized a 4-slip docking facility with basin and channel
dredging to 4 below normal water level. Onsite Normal High Water and Coastal Wetland lines were
determined by LMG and approved by DCM on January 22, 20201. Outer edge of marsh line was determined
through aerial photography by Land Management Group. See Appendix A for details. Waters in the project
area are classified as SA ORW and are open to shellfishing. The area is not a primary nursery area.
4.1.2 Proposed Action
Installation of an —490' bulkhead is proposed 1' outside the coastal / 404 wetland line. The bulkhead will be 1'
wide and composed of vinyl naval style sheet pile. There is no additional upland work proposed on the
property. After meeting with DCM and DWR staff on May 24, 2021, the originally proposed floating dock
fingers were reduced from 53' long to 48' long to minimize the dredge footprint. Due to insufficient water
depths at the proposed floating dock and access channel, dredging to -4' MLW was proposed at least 10' away
from Coastal Wetlands. After meeting with DCM and DWR staff on May 24, 2021, the proposed basin and
access channel dredging area was reduced from —9,670 square feet to —7,779 square feet (-70' x —100' basin =
7,000 sq ft and —12' x —90' access channel = 1,080 sq ft). After receiving comments from DMF and NC Wildlife
Resources Commission on October 15, 2021 regarding the placement of floating docks and dredge area, the
proposed docking facility was moved from the cove toward the Intracoastal Waterway channel consistent with
agency requests. The applicant now proposes installation of a 500' long by 6' wide fixed pier with access stairs
to the upland portion of the peninsula. A 10' portion of the fixed pier will be elevated 6' above NHW over the
cove area to maintain public access. Attached to the southern terminus of the fixed pier is a proposed 12' x
12' covered gazebo. A floating pier is proposed measuring 8' wide x 42' long with a 8' wide x 24' long finger
pier and a 6' wide x 24' long finger pier. Also proposed is a 13' x 13' floating jet ski lift on the western side of
the floating dock. Due to sufficient water depths at the floating dock, dredging is not proposed. See Appendix
A for details.
The proponent hereby certifies that all information contained herein is true, accurate, and complete to the best
of my knowledge and belief. The project proponent hereby requests that the certifying authority review and
take action on this CWA 401 certification request within the applicable reasonable period of time.

January 7, 2021
The Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your updated revised application, as acting
agent for Kyle Warren, for State approval for development of the subject property located at 1324 Final Landing
Lane, adjacent to the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, in New Hanover County. It was received as complete on
January 6, 2022 and appears to be adequate for processing at this time. The projected deadline for making a
decision is March 22, 2022. An additional 75-day review period is provided by law when such time is necessary to
complete the review. If you have not been notified of a final action by the initial deadline stated above, you should
consider the review period extended. Under those circumstances, this letter will serve as your notice of an extended
review. However, an additional letter will be provided on or about the 75th day.
If this agency does not render a permit decision within 70 days from January 6, 2022, you may request a meeting
with the Director of the Division of Coastal Management and permit staff to discuss the status of your project. Such a
meeting will be held within five working days from the receipt of your written request and shall include the property
owner, developer, and project designerlconsultant.
NCGS 113A-119(b) requires that Notice of an application be posted at the location of the proposed development.
Enclosed you will find a "Notice of Permit Filing" postcard which must be posted at the property of your proposed
development. You should post this notice at a conspicuous point along your property where it can be observed from
a public road. Some examples would be: Nailing the notice card to a telephone pole or tree along the road right-of-
way fronting your property; or at a point along the road right-of-way where a private road would lead one into your
property. Failure to post this notice could result in an incomplete application.
An onsite inspection will be made, and if additional information is required, you will be contacted by the appropriate
State or Federal agency. Please contact me if you have any questions and notify me in writing if you wish to receive
a copy of my field report and/or comments from reviewing agencies.
Sincerely,

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 1324 Final Landing Lane, Warren, Kyle 1/7/2022
Shoreline length =118' x 8' = 944 ft2 (maximum allowable)
Proposed pier = 6' x 500' = 3,000 ft2 (credit)
Proposed fixed platform = 12' x 12' =144 ft2
Proposed floating dock = 6' x 24' =144 ft2 (credit)
Proposed floating dock = 8' x 42' =336 ft2
Proposed floating dock = 8' x 24' =192 ft2
Proposed jet ski float = 13' x 13' =169 ft2
Proposed boatlift = (4) 13' x 13' = 676 ft2 (not counted)
TOTAL = 841 ft2
This office supports the recommendations of the resource agencies, particularly the NC Division of Marine Fisheries and the
Division of Water Resources, regarding potential impacts to shallow bottom and water quality. Should concerns be expressed
over potential impacts from any of the resource agencies, the project could then be found to be inconsistent with NCAC 07H
.0208(a)(2), which requires that the location, design and need be consistent with the management objective of the Estuarine
System AEC and the project be sited and designed to avoid significant adverse impacts upon the productivity and biological
integrity of spawning and nursery areas. Additionally, it may be found inconsistent with NCAC 07H .0208(a)(5), which requires
the project to be consistent "with applicable use standards adopted by CRC, EMC, or MFC...For development activities not
covered by specific use standards, no permit shall be issued if the activity would, based on site specific information, degrade
the water quality or outstanding resource values..."
It is the staffs recommendation that the proposed project is CONSISTENT with the use standards set forth in NCAC 07H
.0208(b)(6), including the % width rule, the eight -square foot rule and the pier width rule.
Additionally, it appears to be CONSISTENT with the use standards set forth in NCAC 07H .0208(b)(7), including
constructing bulkheads landward of Coastal Wetlands
As proposed, this office has no objections to the proposed project and any permit issued should include the standard
permit conditions for private docking facilities and bulkheads.

Dear Mr. Warren:
Reference your application for a Department of the Army permit to construct a bulkhead
landward of coastal wetlands, perform new excavation for a boat basin, maintenance excavation
for the connecting access channel and the construction a new 4 slip docking facility. The
construction and dredging will occur in the AIWW at 1324 Final Landing Lane, Wilmington,
New Hanover County, North Carolina.
An approximately 470 feet long bulkhead will be constructed one (1) foot landward of
the wetland line. The bulkhead will be one (1) foot wide and composed of vinyl naval style sheet
pile. Furthermore, a 500 feet long by 6 feet wide fixed pier with access stairs to the upland
portion of the peninsula and a 12 feet by 12 feet gazebo will be constructed at the waterward end
of the pier. A 13 feet by 13 feet floating jet ski lift will be constructed in the cove area that is
near the landward end of the pier. Northeast of the pier and gazebo, an 8 feet by 70 feet floating
dock with a 6 feet by 10 feet finger pier will be constructed. Waterward of the end of the pier, a
ramp will lead down to another 6 feet by 50 feet floating dock with a 13 feet by 13 feet boatlift.
The fixed pier will shade approximately 400 square feet of coastal wetlands and be constructed a
minimum of 3 feet above existing grade. The remainder of the docking facility will cover and
shade 3,833 square feet of open Waters of the US. The docking facility will be inside the
USACE setback and the existing pierhead line.
Finally, an irregular 18,500 square feet dredging area will occur at the boat basin (around
the floating docks) and waterward out to the USACE Federal Navigation Channel. This dredging
will be done by the “bucket to barge” method and will produce 1,400 cubic yards of spoil
material. The excavated material will be placed adjacent to DA-228 outside of the USACE right-
of-way along and adjacent to the existing dike.
Your proposal has been reviewed and found to be consistent with the provisions and
objectives of the CAMA-Corps Programmatic Permit process, via Regional General Permit 291
(copy attached), for construction activities that receive authorization from the State of North
Carolina. Therefore, you may commence construction activity in strict accordance with the
applicable State authorization, attached Federal special conditions, RGP-291 conditions and the
approved plan. Failure to comply with the State authorization or conditions of the Federal permit
-2-
could result in civil and/or administrative penalties.
If any change in your work is required because of unforeseen or altered conditions or for
any other reason, plans revised to show the change must be sent promptly to this office and the
North Carolina Division of Coastal Management prior to performing any such change or
alteration. Such action is necessary as revised plans must be reviewed and the authorization
modified.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Greg Currey, Wilmington Field Office,
Regulatory Branch, telephone 910-523-1151 or email Gregory.e.currey@usace.army.mil.

submitted plans, dated July 6, 2021 and revised November 3, 2021, which are a part of
this permit. Any modification to these plans must be approved by the US Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) prior to implementation.
2. If the applicant or contractor intends to cross the USACE right-of way to place spoil
material at the disposal site, a “Consent to Cross” authorization from the Corps of
Engineers must be obtained for crossing the easement. Provide a written request and a
map showing the disposal site and the crossing location to Justin Arnette at
Justin.R.Arnette@usace.army.mil.
3. Except as authorized by this permit or any USACE approved modification to this permit,
no dredge, fill, or mechanized land-clearing activities shall take place at any time in the
construction or maintenance of this project within waters outside the designated permitted
boundary. This permit does not authorize temporary placement or double handling of
excavated or fill material within waters outside the permitted area.
4. Work in wetlands is prohibited during the dredging, material disposal, or any other aspects
of work associated with this project. All dredged material must be deposited on high
ground.
5. All mechanized equipment will be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of waters and wetlands from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other
toxic materials. In the event of a spill of petroleum products or any other hazardous waste,
the permittee shall immediately report it to the N.C. Division of Water Resources at (919)
733-5083, Ext. 526 or (800) 662-7956 and provisions of the North Carolina Oil Pollution
and Hazardous Substances Control Act will be followed.

DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY
REGIONAL GENERAL PERMIT (RGP)
A RGP to do work in or affecting navigable waters of the U.S. and waters of the U.S., upon
recommendation of the Chief of Engineers, pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act
of March 3, 1899 (U.S.C. 403), and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344), is
hereby issued by authority of the Secretary of the Army by
District Engineer

TO AUTHORIZE THOSE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES IN THE 20 COASTAL
COUNTIES RECEIVING PRIOR APPROVAL FROM THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA
IN THE FORM OF A COASTAL AREA MANAGEMENT ACT (CAMA) PERMIT, AND/OR
A STATE DREDGE AND FILL PERMIT, AND IF REQUIRED, A WATER QUALITY
CERTIFICATION, THAT ARE OTHERWISE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR FEDERAL
AUTHORIZATION IN THE FORM OF A NATIONWIDE PERMIT OR ANOTHER RGP.
Operating Procedures
a. Applications for joint state and federal authorization under this programmatic RGP will
be accepted through the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM). Receipt of
a complete application by the NCDCM will initiate the State's field review that will include a site
visit and preparation of a Field Investigation Report and a state Bio-Report. The NCDCM will
forward a copy of the complete application, its Field Investigation Report, and its Bio-Report, to
the appropriate Corps of Engineers field office, thereby initiating federal review of the project.
The Corps, upon receipt of an application, will immediately assign an action identification
number, acknowledge receipt thereof, and examine the application to assure that it can be
processed pursuant to this programmatic RGP. The applicant and the NCDCM will be furnished
written notification of the Corps' determination. Notification to the applicant will include a brief
description of the administrative process.
b. For those proposals that may result in a discharge into waters of the U.S., including
wetlands, the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) and the applicant will be
informed regarding the applicant's need to obtain a Water Quality Certification in accordance
with section 401 of the Clean Water Act.
c. If, at any time, the Corps determines that a proposed activity is eligible for
authorization under another regional RGP or a nationwide permit (NWP), this procedure may be
terminated and the activity authorized pursuant to the terms and conditions of the appropriate
RGP orNWP.
d. The permit review process conducted by the NCDCM is a public process involving
publication of public notices in local newspapers, public hearings, and various public appeal
procedures. The Corps may issue a separate public notice for a specific proposal if it is deemed
necessary for compliance with appropriate laws, regulation, and guidance.
e. This RGP does not, in any way, alter established procedures or responsibilities, as
required by federal laws, memoranda of agreements (MOA's) or administrative regulations, with
respect to the Corps' coordination with appropriate review agencies. The applicant will continue
to have the opportunity to rebut any objections to a proposal.
f. The Corps will provide copies of the application and plans, the NCDCM's Field
Investigation Report, and the state Bio-Report, to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS),
the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), and any other federal agency that the Corps determines to be a necessary review agency
(collectively, the "Federal Agencies"). Receipt of this material will initiate the Federal Agencies'
review. The Federal Agencies will be allowed sufficient time, normally thirty (30) days, to
provide the Corps with their comments and recommendations, including any proposed permit
special conditions and recommendations of denial. The Corps may grant extensions of time for
Federal Agency review if justified by unusual circumstances. If an extension is granted that
would substantially delay an NCDCM decision, the application may be removed from this RGP
process.
g. The Corps will receive and review all Federal Agency comments as well as any
applicant rebuttal. Provided all Federal Agencies and the Corps are in agreement, the Corps will
prepare a coordinated federal position incorporating all Federal Agency comments, including
proposed permit special conditions and any recommendations for denial. The Corps will
typically furnish this coordinated federal position to the NCDCM within 45 days of its receipt of
the complete application, and copies of the Field Investigation Report and Bio-Report.
h. If the Corps does not concur with a Federal Agency's comments or recommendations,
the Corps will contact the Federal Agency and advise it of the Corps' position. Attempts to
resolve the issue may include initiating the referral procedures outlined by current memoranda of
agreement (MOA's) between the Department of the Army and the agency. No coordinated
federal position will be furnished to the NCDCM until and unless the Corps receives written
agreement from the Federal Agency that all issues have been resolved to the satisfaction of that
agency.
i. If any of the recommendations and/or conditions included in the coordinated federal
position are unacceptable to the NCDCM, the NCDCM will contact the Corps within ten (10)
days of receipt of the coordinated federal position and attempt to resolve the conflict. If
resolution of the conflict involves changes to the conditions or recommendations provided by the
Federal Agencies, the provisions of paragraphs g. and h. (above) will apply. If the conflict is
resolved to the satisfaction of the Corps and any affected Federal Agency, the NCDCM permit
will be issued and the authority of this RGP will apply.
j. If a Federal Agency conflict is not resolved within the time necessary for a decision by
the NCDCM, the NCDCM may proceed, independently, to conclude the state action without
inclusion of the federal position. In such case, the applicant and the NCDCM will be notified
immediately, in writing, that the state permit does not satisfy the federal permit requirements and
that the proposal in question may not proceed without federal authorization.
k. If the coordinated federal position is not in conflict with state agencies' positions, law,
regulation, or policy, and is acceptable to the NCDCM, a state permit will be developed by the
NCDCM fully incorporating the state and federal positions. The NCDCM will furnish copies of
the final permit to the applicant and the Corps. The NCDWR will furnish a copy of the Section
401 Water Quality Certification, if required, to the applicant and the Corps. The Corps will not
confirm the authorization of a proposed project under this RGP until the issuance of the NCDCM
permit and, if required, the Section 401 Water Quality Certification.
1. If the NCDCM permit or Section 401 Water Quality Certification is denied, the
applicant will be informed that federal authorization is denied without prejudice.
m. No work may proceed under this RGP until the Wilmington District Engineer or his
representative provides written verification that the procedures and conditions of the RGP have
been satisfied.
n. The NCDCM and the Corps will monitor all permitted work and periodically inspect
projects for compliance with permit conditions and applicable state and federal regulations. If
any violation of the NCDCM permit is discovered which would also constitute a violation of the
federal position, both the NCDCM and the Corps, in accordance with their respective regulations
and policies, may take enforcement action.
o. This RGP will not be used to authorize an activity when the Wilmington District
Engineer determines that the proposed activity would significantly affect the quality of the
human environment and therefore require preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS).
General Conditions
a. Authorized structures located on or adjacent to Federally authorized waterways will be
constructed in accordance with the latest setback criteria established by the Wilmington District
Engineer. You may review the setback policy at
http://www.saw.usace.anny.mil/Missions/Navigation/Setbacks.aspx. This RGP does not
authorize the construction of hardened or permanently fixed structures within the Federally
Authorized Channel Setback, unless the activity is approved by the Corps. The Permittee must
obtain approval from the Corps prior to the construction of any structures within the Federally
Authorized Channel Setback.
b. Except as authorized by this RGP or any Corps approved modification to this RGP, no
excavation, fill or mechanized land-clearing activities shall take place, at any time in the
construction or maintenance of this project, within waters or wetlands. This permit does not
authorize temporary placement or double handling of excavated or fill material within waters or
wetlands outside the permitted area. This prohibition applies to all borrow and fill activities
connected with this project.
c. Authorization under this RGP does not obviate the need to obtain other federal, state,
or local authorizations.
d. All work authorized by this RGP must comply with the terms and conditions of the
applicable Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification for this RGP issued by the
North Carolina Division of Water Resources.
e. The Permittee shall employ all sedimentation and erosion control measures necessary
to prevent an increase in sedimentation or turbidity within waters and wetlands outside the
permit area. This shall include, but is not limited to, the immediate installation of silt fencing or
similar appropriate devices around all areas subject to soil disturbance or the movement of
earthen fill, and the immediate stabilization of all disturbed areas. Additionally, the project must
remain in full compliance with all aspects of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973
(North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 113A Article 4).
f. The activities authorized by this RGP must not interfere with the public's right to free
navigation on all navigable waters of the U.S. No attempt will be made by the Permittee to
prevent the full and free use by the public of all navigable waters at or adjacent to the authorized
work for a reason other than safety.
g. The Permittee understands and agrees that, if future operations by the United States
require the removal, relocation, or other alteration, of the structure or work herein authorized, or if,
in the opinion of the Secretary of the Army or his/her authorized representative, said structure or
work shall cause umeasonable obstruction to the free navigation of the navigable waters, the
Permittee will be required, upon due notice from the Corps , to remove, relocate, or alter the
structural work or obstructions caused thereby, without expense to the United States. No claim
shall be made against the United States on account of any such removal or alteration.
h. The Permittee, upon receipt of a notice of revocation of the permit for the verified
individual activity, may apply for an individual permit, or will, without expense to the United
States and in such time and manner as the Secretary of the Army or his/her authorized
representative may direct, restore the affected water of the US to its former conditions.
i. This RGP does not authorize any activity that would conflict with a federal project's
congressionally authorized purposes, established limitations or restrictions, or limit an agency's
ability to conduct necessary operation and maintenance functions. Per Section 14 of the Rivers
and Harbors Act of 1899, as amended (33 U.S.C. 408), no project that has the potential to take
possession of or make use of for any purpose, or build upon, alter, deface, destroy, move, injure,
or obstruct a federally constructed work or project, including, but not limited to, levees, dams,
jetties, navigation channels, borrow areas, dredged material disposal sites, flood control projects,
etc., shall be permitted unless the project has been reviewed and approved by the appropriate
Corps approval authority.
j. The Permittee shall obtain a Consent to Cross Government Easement from the
Wilmington District's Land Use Coordinator prior to any crossing of the Corps easement and/or
prior to commencing construction of any structures, authorized dredging, or other work within
the right-of-way of, or in proximity to, a federally designated disposal area. The Land Use
Coordinator may be contacted at: CESAW-OP-N, 69 Darlington Avenue, Wilmington, North
Carolina 28403-1343, email: SAWWeb-NAV@usace.army.mil.
k. The Permittee will allow the Wilmington District Engineer or his/her representative to
inspect the authorized activity at any time deemed necessary to assure that the activity is being
performed or maintained in strict accordance with the Special and General Conditions of this
permit.
1. This RGP does not grant any property rights or exclusive privileges.
m. This RGP does not authorize any injury to the property or rights of others.
n. This RGP does not authorize the interference with any existing or proposed federal
project.
o. In issuing this RGP, the Federal Government does not assume any liability for the
following:
(1) Damages to the permitted project or uses thereof as a result of other permitted or
unpermitted activities or from natural causes.
(2) Damages to the permitted project or uses thereof as a result of current or future
activities undertaken by or on behalf of the United States in the public interest.
(3) Damages to persons, property, or to other permitted or unpermitted activities or
structures caused by the activity authorized by this RGP.
( 4) Design or construction deficiencies associated with the permitted work.
(5) Damage claims associated with any future modification, suspension, or
revocation of this RGP.
p. Authorization provided by this RGP may be modified, suspended, or revoked in whole
or in part if the Wilmington District Engineer, acting for the Secretary of the Army, determines
that such action would be in the best public interest. The term of this RGP shall be five (5) years
unless subject to modification, suspension, or revocation. Any modification, suspension or
revocation of this authorization will not be the basis for any claim for damages against the
United States Government.
q. No activity may occur in a component of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System,
or in a river officially designated by Congress as a "study river" for possible inclusion in the
system while the river is in an official study status, unless the appropriate Federal agency with
direct management responsibility for such river, has determined in writing that the proposed
activity will not adversely affect the Wild and Scenic designation or study status. Information on
Wild and Scenic Rivers may be obtained from the appropriate Federal land management agency
responsible for the designated Wild and Scenic River or "study river" (e.g., National Park
Service, U.S. Forest Service, etc.)
r. This RGP does not authorize any activity within, or directly affecting, a marine
sanctuary established by the Secretary of Commerce under authority of Section 302 of the
Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act of 1972, unless the applicant provides the
Corps with a certification from the Secretary of Commerce that the proposed activity is
consistent with the purposes of Title III of the Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act.
Information on marine sanctuaries may be obtained at http://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/#MN.
Permittees may not begin work until they provide the Corps with a written certification from the
Department of Commerce.
s. In cases where the Wilmington District Engineer determines that the activity may
affect properties listed, or eligible for listing, in the National Register of Historic Places and its
codified regulations, the National Historic Preservation Amendment Acts of 1980 and 1992, the
Abandoned Shipwreck Act of 1987 and the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation
Act, the activity is not authorized, until the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act (NHPA) have been satisfied. Permittees may not begin work until notified by
the Corps that the requirements of the NHPA have been satisfied and that the activity is
authorized.
t. If you discover any previously unknown historic, cultural, or archeological remains
and artifacts while accomplishing the activity authorized by this RGP, you must immediately
notify the Wilmington District Engineer of what you have found, and to the maximum extent
practicable, avoid construction activities that may affect the remains and artifacts until the
required coordination has been completed. The Wilmington District Engineer will initiate the
Federal, tribal, and state coordination required to determine if the items or remains warrant a
recovery effort or if the site is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.
u. Endangered Species.
(1) No activity is authorized under this RGP which is likely to jeopardize the continued existence
of a threatened or endangered species directly or indirectly or a species proposed for such
designation, as identified under the Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA), or which will
directly or indirectly destroy or adversely modify the critical habitat of such species. No activity
is authorized under this RGP which "may affect" a listed species or critical habitat, unless
Section 7 consultation addressing the effects of the proposed activity has been completed.
(2) Federal agencies should follow their own procedures for complying with the requirements of
the ESA. Federal prospective Permittees (and when FHWA is the lead federal agency) must
provide the District Engineer with the appropriate documentation to demonstrate compliance
with those requirements. The District Engineer will review the documentation and determine
whether it is sufficient to address ESA compliance for the RGP activity, or whether additional
ESA consultation is necessary.
(3) As a result of formal or informal consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) or NMFS, the District Engineer may add species-specific endangered species
conditions to the RGP verification letter for a project.
( 4) Authorization of an activity by a RGP does not authorize the "take" of a threatened or
endangered species as defined under the ESA. In the absence of separate authorization ( e.g., an
ESA Section 10 Permit, a Biological Opinion with "incidental take" provisions, etc.) from the
USFWS or the NMFS, the ESA prohibits any person subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. to
take a listed species, where "take" means to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap,
capture, or collect, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct. The word "harm" in the
definition of "take" means an act which actually kills or injures wildlife. Such an act may include
significant habitat modification or degradation where it actually kills or injures wildlife by
significantly impairing essential behavioral patterns, including breeding, feeding, or sheltering.
(5) Information on the location of threatened and endangered species and their critical habitat can
be obtained directly from the USFWS in Raleigh, North Carolina at the address provided below,
or from the USFWS and NMFS via their world wide web pages at http://www.fws.gov/
or http://www.fws.gov/ipac and http://www.noaa.gov/fisheries.html respectively.

Telephone: (919) 856-4520
(6) The Wilmington District, USFWS, NCDOT, and the FHWA have conducted programmatic
Section 7(a)(2) consultation for a number of federally listed species and habitat, and
programmatic consultation concerning other federally listed species and/or habitat may occur in
the future. The result of completed programmatic consultation is a Programmatic Biological
Opinion (PBO) issued by the USFWS. These PBOs contain mandatory terms and conditions to
implement the reasonable and prudent measures that are associated with "incidental take" of
whichever species or critical habitat is covered by a specific PBO. Authorization under this RGP
is conditional upon the Permittee's compliance with all the mandatory terms and conditions
associated with incidental take of the applicable PBO (or PB Os), which are incorporated by
reference in this RGP. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions associated with incidental
take of an applicable PBO, where a take of the federally listed species occurs, would constitute
an unauthorized take by the Permittee, and would also constitute Permittee non-compliance with
the authorization under this RGP. If the terms and conditions of a specific PBO ( or PB Os) apply
to a project, the Corps will include this/these requirements in any RGP verification that may be
issued for a project. The USFWS is the appropriate authority to determine compliance with the
terms and conditions of its PBO, and with the ESA.
(7) Northern long-eared bat (NLEB) (Myotis septentrionalis). Standard Local Operating
Procedures for Endangered Species (SLOPES) for the NLEB have been approved by the Corps
and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. See
http://www.saw. usace.army .mil/Missions/Regulatory-Permit-Program/ Agency-
Coordination/ESA/. This SLOPES details how the Corps will make determinations of effect to
the NLEB when the Corps is the lead federal agency for an NCDOT project that is located in the
western 41 counties of North Carolina. This SLOPES do not address NCDOT projects (either
federal or state funded) in the eastern 59 counties in North Carolina. Note that if another federal
agency is the lead federal agency for a project in the western 41 counties, procedures for
satisfying the requirements of Section 7(a)(2) of the ESA will be dictated by that agency and will
not be applicable for consideration under the SLOPES; however, information that demonstrates
the lead federal agency's (if other than the Corps) compliance with Section 7(a)(2) / 4(d) Rule
for the NLEB, will be required in the PCN. Note that at the time of issuance of this RGP, the
federal listing status of the NLEB as "Threatened" is being litigated at the National level. If, as a
result of litigation, the NLEB is federally listed as "Endangered", this general condition (''s")
will no longer be applicable because the 4( d) Rule, and this NLEB SLOPES, will no longer
apply/be valid.
(8) In order to further protect the endangered West Indian Manatee, Trichechus manatus, the
applicant must implement the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Manatee Guidelines, and strictly
adhere to all requirements therein. The guidelines can be found at
https ://www.fws.gov/raleigh/pdfs/ManateeGuidelines201 7 .pdf
(9) If the Permittee discovers or observes any live, damaged, injured, or dead individual of an
endangered or threatened species during construction, the Permittee shall immediately notify the
Wilmington District Engineer so that required coordination can be initiated with the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service and/or National Marine Fisheries Service.
v. Permittees are advised that development activities in or near a floodway may be
subject to the National Flood Insurance Program that prohibits any development, including fill,
within a floodway that results in any increase in base flood elevations. This RGP does not
authorize any activity prohibited by the National Flood Insurance Program.
w. The Permittee must install and maintain, at his/her expense, any signal lights and
signals prescribed by the U.S. Coast Guard, through regulations or otherwise, on authorized
facilities. For further information, the Permittee should contact Coast Guard Sector North
Carolina at (910) 772-2191 or email Coast Guard Fifth District at cgd5waterways@uscg.mil.
x. If the display of lights and signals on the authorized structure is not otherwise
provided for by law, such lights and signals as may be prescribed by the U.S. Coast Guard will
be installed and maintained by and at the expense of the Permittee.
y. It is possible that an authorized structure may be damaged by wave wash from
passing vessels. The issuance of this RGP does not relieve the Permittee from taking all proper
steps to ensure the integrity of the permitted structure and the safety of moored boats. The
Permittee will not hold the United States liable for any such damage.
z. Structures and their attendant utilities, authorized by this RGP, located on lands subject
to an easement in favor of the United States for the operation, maintenance, improvement, and
enlargement of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW), will be removed at the expense of
the Permittee, in the event that, in the judgment of the Corps acting on behalf of the United
States, the lands are needed at any time for any purpose within the scope of the easement.
Permanent buildings will not be constructed within the easement.
aa. The Permittee must maintain any structure or work authorized by this RGP in good
condition and in conformance with the terms and conditions of this RGP. The Permittee is not
relieved of this requirement if the Permittee abandons the structure or work. Transfer in fee
simple of the work authorized by this RGP will automatically transfer this RGP to the property's
new owner, with all of the rights and responsibilities enumerated herein. The Permittee must
inform any subsequent owner of all activities undertaken under the authority of this RGP and
provide the subsequent owner with a copy of the terms and conditions of this RGP.
bb. At his/her sole discretion, any time during the processing cycle, the Wilmington
District Engineer may determine that this RGP will not be applicable to a specific proposal. In
such case, the procedures for processing an individual permit in accordance with 33 CFR 325
will be available.
cc. Except as authorized by this RGP or any Corps approved modification to this RGP,
all fill material placed in waters or wetlands shall be generated from an upland source and will be
clean and free of any pollutants except in trace quantities.
dd Except as authorized by this RGP or any Corps approved modification to this RGP,
all excavated material will be disposed of in approved upland disposal areas.
ee. Activities which have commenced (i.e., are under construction) or are under contract
to commence in reliance upon this RGP will remain authorized provided the activity is
completed within twelve months of the date of the RGP's expiration, modification, or revocation.
Activities completed under the authorization of this RGP that were in effect at the time the
activity was completed continue to be authorized by the RGP.

GUIDELINES FOR AVOIDING IMPACTS TO THE WEST INDIAN MANATEE
Precautionary Measures for Construction Activities in North Carolina Waters
The West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus), also known as the Florida manatee, is a Federally-listed
endangered aquatic mammal protected under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.) and the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as amended (16 U.S.C 1461 et seq.). The
manatee is also listed as endangered under the North Carolina Endangered Species Act of 1987 (Article
25 of Chapter 113 of the General Statutes). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is the lead
Federal agency responsible for the protection and recovery of the West Indian manatee under the
provisions of the Endangered Species Act.
Adult manatees average 10 feet long and weigh about 2,200 pounds, although some individuals have been
recorded at lengths greater than 13 feet and weighing as much as 3,500 pounds. Manatees are commonly
found in fresh, brackish, or marine water habitats, including shallow coastal bays, lagoons, estuaries, and
inland rivers of varying salinity extremes. Manatees spend much of their time underwater or partly
submerged, making them difficult to detect even in shallow water. While the manatee’s principal
stronghold in the United States is Florida, the species is considered a seasonal inhabitant of North
Carolina with most occurrences reported from June through October.
To protect manatees in North Carolina, the Service’s Raleigh Field Office has prepared precautionary
measures for general construction activities in waters used by the species. Implementation of these
measures will allow in-water projects which do not require blasting to proceed without adverse impacts to
manatees. In addition, inclusion of these guidelines as conservation measures in a Biological Assessment
or Biological Evaluation, or as part of the determination of impacts on the manatee in an environmental
document prepared pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act, will expedite the Service’s review
of the document for the fulfillment of requirements under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act.
These measures include:
1 The project manager and/or contractor will inform all personnel associated with the project that
manatees may be present in the project area, and the need to avoid any harm to these endangered
mammals. The project manager will ensure that all construction personnel know the general appearance
of the species and their habit of moving about completely or partially submerged in shallow water. All
construction personnel will be informed that they are responsible for observing water-related activities for
the presence of manatees.
2. The project manager and/or the contractor will advise all construction personnel that there are civil and
criminal penalties for harming, harassing, or killing manatees which are protected under the Marine
Mammal Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act.
2
3. If a manatee is seen within 100 yards of the active construction and/or dredging operation or vessel
movement, all appropriate precautions will be implemented to ensure protection of the manatee. These
precautions will include the immediate shutdown of moving equipment if a manatee comes within 50 feet
of the operational area of the equipment. Activities will not resume until the manatee has departed the
project area on its own volition (i.e., it may not be herded or harassed from the area).
4. Any collision with and/or injury to a manatee will be reported immediately. The report must be made
to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (ph. 919-856-4520), the National Marine Fisheries Service (ph. 252-
728-8762), and the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (ph. 252-448-1546).
5. A sign will be posted in all vessels associated with the project where it is clearly visible to the vessel
operator. The sign should state:
CAUTION: The endangered manatee may occur in these waters during the warmer months,
primarily from June through October. Idle speed is required if operating this vessel in shallow
water during these months. All equipment must be shut down if a manatee comes within 50 feet
of the vessel or operating equipment. A collision with and/or injury to the manatee must be
reported immediately to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (919-856-4520), the National Marine
Fisheries Service (252-728-8762), and the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (252-
448-1546).
6. The contractor will maintain a log detailing sightings, collisions, and/or injuries to manatees during
project activities. Upon completion of the action, the project manager will prepare a report which
summarizes all information on manatees encountered and submit the report to the Service’s Raleigh Field
Office.
7. All vessels associated with the construction project will operate at “no wake/idle” speeds at all times
while in water where the draft of the vessel provides less than a four foot clearance from the bottom. All
vessels will follow routes of deep water whenever possible.
8. If siltation barriers must be placed in shallow water, these barriers will be: (a) made of material in
which manatees cannot become entangled; (b) secured in a manner that they cannot break free and
entangle manatees; and, (c) regularly monitored to ensure that manatees have not become entangled.
Barriers will be placed in a manner to allow manatees entry to or exit from essential habitat.
