Reference the application of Ralph Baker f r a Department
of the Army permit to place fill mate a__20�iot-wide, 30-
foot-long basin on a canal off the Pamlico River at Pinecrest
Shores in Beaufort County, North Carolina.
The Federal agencies have completed review of the proposal as
presented by the application and your field investigation report.
We recommend that the following conditions be included in the
State authorization:
a. A clay dike will be constructed across the mouth of the
basin prior to placing any fill material to prevent sedimentation
and increased turbidity in the canal.
b. All fill material will be obtained from an upland source
and confined landward of the clay dike.
C. No wetland vegetation will be excavated or filled.

As you are aware, both of the subject gentlemen have applied for permits-fmm
the Division of Cbastal Management to fill manmade canals, and both have proposed _
to plug their.respective canals prior to filling activities with a clay dike.
I reccmrend that a condition be placed on each permit to require the plug be
constructed of either a wooden structure, or riprap. I feel the clay plug will not
be as adequate as either of these methods.
If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me.

8. Project summary The aApli nt i pmrr�cino f;71 a"�0' ong by 70' wide boat haain
which is connected to the Pamlico River.

Environmental setting
The applicant owns a 1.5 acre tract of land which is located on the Pamlico River
in the Pinecrest ac muni.ty. The property which has an average elevation of + 4'
was bulkheaded several years ago to retard ongoing erosion. A canal which is
connected to the Pamlico River is located on the property. Much of the property
between the canal and the bulkhead is Spartina. cynosuroides marsh. Connected to
the canal is a 30' long by 20' wide by -5' deep at NWL boat basin. The basin is
covered by a deteriorated boathouse.
Project proposal
The'applicant would like to construct a single family dwelling on,the property,' however,
to meet the Beaufort County Health Department's septic tank requirements, additional
highground is needed. To obtain this highground, the applicant is proposing to fill
the 30' long by 20' wide boat basin. A clay dike will be placed across the mouth of
the basin prior to filling to prevent the fill material from entering the canal.
Environmental impact
If the project is conducted as proposed + 600 sq.ft. of open crater area will be filled.
None of the SPartina cynosuroides located on the property is proposed to be excavated
and/or filled.
Septic tank design and placement will be crucial on the property if water quality
degradation is not to occur due to the proximity of the proposed system to marshes
and surface waters.
