The Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges
receipt of your application for state approval for development of
property located U. S. Highway 70, at Otway, near Ward's Creek,
at Otway Free Will Baptist Church, in,Carteret County. It was
received on October 1, 1987, and appears to be adequate for
processing at this time, with the exception of the $100.00 permit
application fee and the adjacent riparian property owner's
statement which you need to send to our Raleigh office. The
projected deadline for making a decision is December 14, 1987.
An additional 75-day review period may be necessary and if so you
will be advised of the extension and the new deadline.
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.

Dear Mr. Marley:
Thank you for your inquiry of September 24, 1987, regarding
your plans to extend two 24-inch culverts under Highway 70 across
from the Otway Free Will Baptist Church in Otway, Carteret County,
North Carolina. The culverts allow passage of water to a tidally
influenced ditch which eventually flows into the North River.
On January 1, 1987, we renewed general permit No. SAWCO82-N-
000-0031 (enclosed), that authorizes the placement of fill
material associated with the construction, repair, or replacement
of bridges across navigable waters and waters of the United States
in North Carolina, including cofferdams, abutments, foundation
seals, temporary construction and access fills, approach fills,
detour fills, and box culvert installation, as part of work
conducted by or in full compliance with the standards and
specifications of the North Carolina Deparwent of Transportation.
Your proposed work is authorized if you can comply with all
permit conditions. Please read the enclosed permit to prevent an
unintentional violation of Federal law. As this Department of the
Army general permit does not relieve you of the responsibility to
obtain any other required approvals, you should contact
appropriate State and local agencies before beginning work.
If you have questions, contact David Baker, Regulatory Branch,
telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
Charles W. Hollis
Chief, Regulatory Branch
