App. for State permit - Robert Preston Edwards 8-13-75
Location - Beaufort County - Bond Creek
Investigative process - App. rec. Raleigh office 8-25-75; Morehead 8-27-75. Investigated
site 8-29-75. Requested addtl. inf. 9-9-75; met with app. onsite 9-25-75, and rec. re-
quested modified plat 10-6-75.
Environmental setting - The project is located on Bond Creek in the South Creek community
at the end of SR 1910. The property consists of 200' wide by 235' deep lot which stretches
from SR 1910 to the shoreline of Bond Creek. The tract consists of a high ground lot
which is covered with large pine and gum trees. The property is to serve as a future
homesite for the applicant. The shoreline is receiving moderate to heavy erosiuil along
the westernmost 100' of the shore. Various exposed roots and stumps attest to the wa-
ter's erosive action. The easternmost shoreline of the property is bordered by a 10-30'
wide border of giant reedgrass (Spartina cunosuroides). There appears to be little or
no erosion occuring on this eastern half of the property.
Project description - The applicant proposes to erect a 119' long bulkhead along the
west shoreline of the site. The proposed bulkhead will vary from 2-5' from the MHW
line. The area encompassed by the bulkhead is to be backfilled by hauling in fill ma-
terial from an upland source. The proposed project, as modified, will destroy no marsh
grass.
Environmental impact - The area to be bulkheaded is now receiving moderate to heavy ero-
sion. There is no marsh grass in the proposed backfill area. The bulkhead alignment is
not to exceed 5' from the MHW line. The proposed work will cause some short-term local-
ized turbidity at the project site.

Dear Mr. Edwards:
I am writing to confirm our meeting at your property on Bond Creek on September
25, 1975. I understand from our meeting that you wish to modify your pending
dredge and fill request dated August 13, 1975, to reflect the following:
1. The length of your proposed bulkhead is to be changed from 200' in
length to 119'.
2. That the remainder of the property is to be left unaltered.
For your convenience, I have enclosed a modified drawing which you may use in
preparing your new plat.
The original copy of your new drawing should be sent to the USA Corps of En-
gineers in Wilmington with a letter of explanation; a copy should be sent to
me here at our Morehead City office.
You application is being held in our pending file, and processing will be re-
sumed upon receipt of the revised plat from you.
If I may be of assistance, or if you have questions, do not hesitate to con-
tact me.
Cordially yours,

Dear Mr. Edwards:

Our Raleigh office has furnished us with your application for a permit to
bulkhead at your property on Bond Creek. I made a routine inspection of
the site on August 29, 1975, and was unable to interpret your plans in re-
lation to the shoreline of the property. In other words, I am not sure as
to the alignment of your intended bulkhead in relation to the present mean
high water line, and in relation to the marsh border along the shoreline.
I have tried to reach you by phone on several occasions, but have been un-
successful. I suggest that we meet at your project site in order to clarify
your intentions. Will you please, therefore, contact me at this office so
we may set up a meeting date. The telephone number is 726-7021, Morehead
City.
We are placing your file in our pending file until we hear from you, and
processing will continue on your application as soon as your plans are
clarified. I will look forward to hearing from you concerning a meeting
date as soon as possible.
