December 28, 1977
- Meredith C. Cook 12-27-77
Location - Hyde County on Germantown Bay at the end of SR 1140.
Investigative process - Met with app. at site on 7-11-77 and 12-14-77. App. rec.
Morehead 12-27-77.
Environmental setting - Germantown Bay is a tributary of northern Pamlico Sound
east of the mouth of Pungo River. The lands around Germantown Bay are undeveloped,
consisting of a wide border of marsh grass (Juncus roemerianus) and large expanses
of pine forest further inland. Mr. Cook's property lies at the end of SR 1140 near
the headwaters of the bay. SR 1140 appears to extend on to a 15' wide peninsula
which juts into the bay approximately 200'. Both sides of the peninsula have
served for many years as docking areas for the boats of local commercial fisher-
men. There are various types of trash and debris which have collected along the
short -line through the years. A small creek enters Mr. Cook's property on the
western side of the project site. As shown on the plat, there is a 20' to 40' wide
border of Juncus and Spartina 2atens between the creek and the proposed spoil dis-
posal area. The disposal area itself is vegetated with pine trees, weeds, and
small shrub growth. The shoreline forming the southern border of the disposal
area is vertical, 1-2' above the NWL, and has a sparse growth of Spartina alterni-
flora. Germantown Bay is relatively shallow and has a soft mud botoom. Depths in
the bay generally do not exceed 6' at MLW. Boat traffic tends to maintain a small
channel up to the project site which has depths of 2-3'.
Project proposal - Mr. Cook proposes to bulkhead the shoreline around the previously
mentioned peninsula and along the southern shore of the disposal area. The exist-
ing docks will be removed. A basin area 40'50' wide along the new bulkhead will
be deepened to 6' at normal water to accommodate docking of fishing vessels. A
16' wide concrete boat ramp will be built to provide access for trailored boats.
The new bulkhead will be built approximately 4' beyond the normal water level and
backfilled with the excavated material. Spoil will initially be placed on trucks
and moved to the large disposal area. Once it has dried, it will be used as fill
material behind the bulkhead and to raise the elevation of the peninsula. The pro-
ject -is intended to improve docking facilities for local fishermen.
Environmental impact - The project will cause to.be filled a small amount of spike
grass, black needlerush and salt marsh cordgrass presently growing along the shore-
line. This will be. done as a result of building and backfilling the proposed bulk-
head. No marsh will be filled as a result of disposal in the designated highground
areas. Because of the nature of the material to be excavated, turbidity levels
will be high during project activity. Approximately 23,000 sq.ft. of bottom area
will be deepened from its present depth of 2-3' to 6' - however, this area should
stabilize once the project is completed with little effect on its productivity. The
project should have little effect on the productivity of Germantown Bay.
Preston Pate

Re: App. for State permit - Meredith C. Cook
No objections with conditions as follows:
1. That the bulkhead must not exceed 4' from the normal water level at any
point along its alignment.
2. That all fill material to be placed below high water be confined be-
hind the permitted bulkhead.
3. That all excavated materials be confined above normal high water and land-
ward of regularly or irregularly flooded marshlands.
4. That no excavated or fill material be placed at any time in any marsh or
waters of the state outside of the alignment of the fill area indicated
on the plat.
5. That in order to protect juvenile shrimp populations, no excavation or
filling will be permitted between the dates of April 1 through Septem-
ber 20 of any year without the prior approval of the Div. of Mar. Fish.

Dear Mr. Coo
It is again necessary that your application be returned in order
that certain changes may be made on the plat.
As indicated in my letter of October 18, including an attached
example plat, plats must be to a scale of 1" = 2001 or less. Also,
normal water lines, existing depths, natural and man-made feature,
etc., must, by regulation, be accurately depicted. I urge if you
experience any difficulty in preparing such plat that you contact
Mr. Doug Nelson at 726-7021 in Morehead City. Mr. Nelson should be
able to answer any question that you may have because he is familiar
with the project area. On the other hand, if you wish, please contact
me at any time.
