Investigative process - App. rec. Morehead 1-20-75, modification requested 1-29-75.
Rec. in Mhd. 2-14-75.
Environmental setting - The project is located at the site of the long abandoned saw
mill which consists of several buildings and ruins and considerable grown-up adjacent
property. The site is bounded on the north by US Hwy. 264, which is,the main street
of Belhaven, on the east by-Cargill,.--.Inc.-grain-elevators, on the south -by the Panteo
Creek, and on the west by US Hwy. 92. Sumach Creek, a relatively short and wide creek
which ends in a drainage ditch, is located at the boundary line on the east -side. The
overall outline of the entire tract is shaped somewhat like a peninsula. The Belhaven
Feed Mill is located fronting US 92 on the northwest corner of the property.
An existing canal borders US 92 on the west side. Adjacent'to this existing canal is a
dug canal which is approximately 100' in width, running some 450-500' inland from Pantego
Creek. An existing spoil pile runs approximately half or more the length of this creek
on the east side. The area around the peninsula immediately fronting Pantego Creek con-
tains a border which is comprised of mixed marsh species. This border varies in width
from 1-2' to as much as 15-20' and contains primarily black needlerush (Juncus roemerianus),
saw grass (Cladium jamaicense), salt meadow grass (Spartina patens), interspersed with
marsh elder (Iva frutescens) and myrtle. Around the southern edge of the peninsula, a
sandy berm h'as formed immediately behind the discontinuous marsh line which has resulted
in the ponding of water on the interior portions of the property. Interspersed throughout
the interior of the site are pockets of ponded water which contain.saw grass, marsh elder
and cattail. The remainder of the interior portion of the peninsula section of the site
is vegetated with a mixture of briars, wooded species, stunted trees, and considerable.,.
brush. TEA
On the east side of Shurgach Creek the creek border is vegetated with a mixture of needle -
rush and salt meadow grass'. Immediately behind this marshland,fringe, is located two
pockets of giant cordgrass (Spartina cynosuroides).- The remainder of this portion of
the site is primarily vegetated with myrtle and marsh elder, interspersed with other
wooded species.
The attached field copy of plat provides more details relative to vegetative types.
Located immediately offshore of the site, and lying in Pantego Creek proper, are a con-
siderable number of sunken barges, boats, debris,'piers, pilings, 'etc. which,will re-
quire removal at some point during the construction,of this facilikj (proposed one).

Project description - The applicant proposes to construct a marina yacht club and
motel at the site. The major portion of the excavation proposed will consist of two
large boat basins and a boat ramp. A total of some 120,000 cu.yds. of spoil material
will be deposited over a highland area adjacent to the excavation sites. A bulkhead
running some 5,2n0 linear feet around the project site will be constructed at or above
the MHW line. Two breakwater/piers will be constructed out in Pantego Creek. It is
proposed that eventually over 500 boat slips will be constructed shoreward of the break-
water.
Environmental impact - Accompanying the application was a report giving or setting
forth the details of the proposed facility and including a brief environmental impact
statement covering its construction and operation. My comments relative to this EIS
are as follows:
Section 2 (B) contains a statement which says "no marshland, wildlife habitat,, or es-
tuarine fisheries habitat will be destroyed, damaged, or otherwise degraded by con-
struction of "The Landing."
While it is true that little, if any, estuarine fisheries habitat will be destroyed,
the marshland fringe which is now present along the edge of the site, as well as some
marginal wildlife habitat, will be damaged or destroyed. 1,
The water area proposed for inclusion iii-the project is at -present little utilized by
commercial -and/or sports fishermen.' -This -is primarily due'£o the inaccessability of
the area due to sunken vessels and extensive old pilings.

Dear Mr. Davis:
This letter confirms the conversation between you and your party;
Mrs. Margarette S. Laughinghouse and her party; Mr. Steve Brown,
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers;,and representatives of the Office of
Coastal Management at the Washington Field Office on 29 July 1980.
As I stated to you, Oif`L2i Coastal gement wi ccept
an appl-cation for the wall of state p rmit no. 74-75 ..h ch was
iss ed to Belhaven Mi c. on 18 December 1978 and which
exp ed on 15 December 19 , if the foliow, conditions a met:
(1) the completion of an updated application form;
(2) the submittal of new plats drawn to scale showing proposed work;
(3) the submittal of a deed to the property, or a letter of intention
to purchase.
Upon submittal of the required material this office will review your
proposed project. As you recall I stated that for this office to be
able to renew the previous permit no additional work than that which
was previously permitted may be proposed. No additional excavation may
occur, no fill may be placed in new areas, no extension of piers, etc.
You must be willing to accept all of the conditions as stated on the
previous permit.
Also as you recall I stated that no Major Development permit will be
required for your proposed project because it appears that Belhaven
Feed Mills, Inc. had obtained all appropriate state and federal
permits as of 1 March 1978, to conduct the proposed project. If however
you change the proposed project so that the previous permit cannot be -

reissued, resulting in a new Dredge & Fill permit being required,then
the.Coastal Area Management Act Major Development permit will be required
and the entire project will be reviewed by the present standards that
have been adopted by the Coastal Resources Commission.
If I can be of any assistance to you as your plans for the marina progress
do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
All
