(D) Total area disturbed: + 1,800 'sq.ft. + 1,200 sq.ft.
8. Project summary The applicant is proposing to construct 400 linear feet of bulkhead
to retard erosion and to reclaim land recently lost to erosion. The bulkhead will
average ± 3' beyond the normal water level and will be + 8' at the furthest point.
Also proposed is the construction of a 12' x 4' pier, and the excavation of a 60'
x 30' x -4' deep NWL area in the vicinity of the boat ramp.

9. Narrative description
The Town of Belhaven owns a piece of property which is currently being used as a public
boat launching facility, picnic area, and a mooring area for commercial fishing
vessels. The launching ramp is located on Pantego Creek and the mooring is occurring
within Wynn's Gut. Existing at the site is a concrete boat ramp, picnic shelter,
and approximately 250' of deteriorated bulkhead along Wynn's Gut. That portion of the
property along Pantego Creek is not bulkheaded and therefore, erosion is occurring.
On the north side of the applicant's property is Pungo District Hospital whose
property is already bulkheaded. On the south side of Wynn's Gut is Belhaven Fish and
Oyster Company. Immediately offshore of the existing boat ramp is a shallow area which
is causing navigation problems to vessels.
At this time the applicant is proposing several activities:
(1) The construction of 400' linear feet of bulkhead along Pantego Creek and along
a portion of Wynn's Gut. The bulkhead will average + 3' beyond the normal water
level and will be + 8' beyond the NWL at the furthest point.
(2) The construction of a 12' long by 4' wide pier beside the existing launching
ramp to aid boaters.
(3) The excavation of a 60' long by 30' wide by -4' deep NWL area immediately off-
shore of the launching ramp. The existing water depths, within this area, are
-2' NWL. The excavated materials will be used as backfill behind the proposed bulk-
head.
10. Environmental impact
The project as proposed should have a minimal environmental impact. Approximately
1,800 sq.ft. of hard sandy bottom habitat will be excavated and + 1,200 sq.ft. of the
same type area will be filled landward of the proposed bulkhead. Some short term
turbidity will occur during excavation aspects of the project.

Dear Mr. Weatherman:
Town Manager
OCT 1982 I
tober 1982
After extensive coordination between North Carolina and Federal agencies, a
general permit No. SAWC080-N-000-000291 (inclosure 1) was issued on
27 January 1981, by Colonel Robert R. Hughes, District Engineer, Wilmington
District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which provides Federal authorization
for "...those construction activities that require and receive authorization
from the State of North Carolina in the form of a Coastal Area Management Act
(LAMA) permit for major development and/or a permit to excavate and/or fill
- and/or a Water Quality Certification."
A review of your application received 15 October 1982 for a Department of the
Army permit to repair a bulkhead with fill and maintain a boat access area on
Pantego Creek and Wynne's Gut at public boat ramp facilities in Belhaven,
Beaufort County, North Carolina, indicates that your proposal is a candidate
for Federal authorization under this general permit. Accordingly, the
processing of our a 1' ation will be accomplished by the N.C. Office of
oastal Management. In this process, the N.C. Division of Environmental
Management will review your proposal and a determination will be made as to
the need for a State Water Quality Certification. Comments from Federal
review agencies will be furnished to the State. If there are no unresolved
differences of State- Federal positions or policy, the final action taken on
your application by the State will satisfy the terms of our general permit.
The terms of the general permit will not be satisfied if any of the following
situations exist:
1. -There is an unresolved objection from any Federal agency.
2. A State Water Quality Certification has not been issued (if
required). Section 401 of the Clean Water Act requires that prior to the
issuance of any Federal permit that may result in a discharge into waters or
wetlands, the State agency responsible for water pollution control (N.C.
Division of Environmental Management) must certify that the discharge will
not violate applicable Water Quality Standards.

j
SAWC083-N-007-0012 26 October 1982
Mr. Steve Weatherman, Town Manager
3. The proposed work would have a significant effect on the quality of
the human environment. The District Engineer will make this determination
prior to the conclusion of the State process.
4. There is a significant and substantive unresolved objection from
any individual, group, or agency.
If your application is withdrawn from this general permit process, you will
be so notified and informed of its further management in writing. When your
application is successfully processed to conclusion under this general
permit, you will receive written notice from the District Engineer. Only
after receiving such confirmation should begin work.
Your application has been assigned application No. SAWC083-N-007-0012 and
will be coordinated by Mr. Steve Brown, telephone [phone]. He is
available to address questions or comments you may have.
