Dear Mr. Baldwin
This letter of refinement is in reference to your October 17, 2022, correspondence requesting
a modification of Major CAMA Permit No. 91-22 issued to North Carolina Wildlife Resource
Commission on September 2, 2022. Major Permit No 91-22 authorized replacement of existing water
control structures, pump, piping, and pump platform.
Your request to modify how the piping associated with the Hunting Creek Unit has been
approved. Permit 91-22 authorized the distribution pipe for the Hunting Creek Unit to be placed
under the canal same as the existing pipe. Your request to modify this and place the distribution pipe
above ground and attached to the existing foot bridge over the canal will have less environmental
impact. All permit conditions including the September 7, 2027, expiration date, still apply. Your
modified plat received on Oct 17, 2022, illustrating the authorized changes will become a part of the
permit file and construction should be accomplished accordingly.
Thank you for your time and cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions, please
don't hesitate to contact me, in the Washington Regional Office.
Sincer y,

LAMA MP-1 Project Narrative Amended 10/17/22
Spring and Hunting Creek Pump Station Replacement
This project is being done at the request of and in partnership with the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission (NCWRC). The project site is owned and managed by NCWRC to provide habitat
to wildlife and recreational opportunities to the public. The proposed work is within the Spring Creek
and Hunting Creek Units, existing managed impoundments within the Goose Creek Game Land.
The proposed project includes replacing the existing pump, motor, electrical service, pump support deck
and the associated piping to both Spring and Hunting Creek Units. The existing distribution pipe to the
Hunting Creek Unit crosses under an existing tidal canal. The replacement pipe was previously
permitted to cross under the canal in the same location. It is now proposed that the pipe will be
replaced with an above ground crossing of a new HDPE pipe that is to be attached to the side of the
existing footbridge. When the project was bid it came in over budget. In negotiations with the low
bidder, it was suggested that an above ground crossing be considered as a way to save money and get
within budget. In addition, this will reduce the impact to the wetlands by avoiding disturbance of the
canal for the crossing installation.
At both interior discharge points, the existing pipe penetrates a bulkhead and is controlled by a rising
gate. Upon removal of the existing distribution pipe, the bulkhead penetrations will be patched and
backfilled. The proposed distribution pipe will utilize 2-45 degree bends to create a "dragon head"
discharge above the bulkhead.
In addition, an existing water control structure located in the Spring Creek unit will be replaced. The
new water control structure will be installed in the same footprint. The internal bulkhead will be tied to
the new water control structure on each side.
The project proponent hereby certifies that all information herein is true, accurate and complete to the
best of my knowledge.
The project proponent herby requests that the certifying authority review and take action on this CWA-
401 certification request within a applicable reasonable period of time.
