Currituck County c/o Eric Weatherly
Southern Outer Banks Water Treatment Wellfield
153 Courthouse Road, Suite 302
Currituck, NC 27929
Dear Mr. Weatherly:
John E. Skvarla, III
Secretary
This letter is in response to your application for a Major Permit under the Coastal Area
Management Act (CAMA), in which authorization was requested to complete construction on
two existing wells, and to install a 10" pipeline via directional boring to connect the wells to an
existing raw water line. Processing of the application, which was received as complete by the
Division of Coastal Management's Elizabeth City office on February 21, 2013, is now complete.
— Based on the state's review, the Division of Coastal -Management has made the following
findings:
1) The proposed project is located within an area designated by the Rules of the
Coastal Resource Commission (CRC) as an Ocean Hazard/ Ocean Erodible Area of
Environmental Concern (AEC). As such, the proposed development is subject to
15A NCAC 07H.0306(a)(2), which states in part that "With the exception of those
types of development defined in 15A NCAC 0711.0309, no development, including
any portion of a building or structure, shall extend oceamvard of the ocean hazard
setback distance. "
2) 15A NCAC 07H .0306(a)(2) states in part that "The ocean hazard setback is
established based on the following criteria" and 15A NCAC 07H .0306(a)(2)(1)
states: "Infrastructure that is linear in nature such as roads, bridges, pedestrian
access such as boardwalks and sidewalks, and utilities providing for the
transmission of electricity, water, telephone, cable television, data, storm water and
sewer requires a minimum setback of 60 feet or 30 times the shoreline erosion rate,
whichever is greater; "

3) The types of development subject to the exceptions referenced in 15A NCAC 07H
.0309 that are permittable seaward of the setback are listed as: " (1) campsites;
(2)driveways and parking areas with clay, packed sand or gravel; (3) elevated
decks not exceeding a footprint of 500 square feet; (4) beach accessways consistent
with Rule .0308(c) of this Subchapter; (5) unenclosed, uninhabitable gazebos with a
-"" - footprint of 200 square feet or less, (6) uninhabitable, single -story storage sheds
with a foundation or floor consisting of wood, clay, packed sand or gravel, and a
footprint of 200 square feet or less; (7) temporary amusement stands; (8) sand
fences; and (9) swimming pools. "
4) The two existing deep wells appear to have been partially constructed in 2006,
although the Division can find no evidence that a CAMA permit was ever
authorized for the construction of the wells. Currently only the well casings and the
screens have been installed.
5) For each well, the proposal consists of the construction of a concrete apron, piping,
pumps, electrical service, and associated accessory items.
6) As indicated on the plat submitted with the original permit application, much of
proposed development on Deep Well 1 and Deep Well 2 would be located seaward
of the 60' setback and are not exempt under 15A NCAC 07H .0309.
7) - Based upon_the findings outlined above, the proposed project has been determined
to be inconsistent with 15A NCAC 07H.0306(a)(2)(I).
Given the preceding findings, it is necessary that your request for issuance of a CAMA
Major Permit under the Coastal Area Management Act be denied. This denial is made pursuant
to N.C.G.S. 113A-120(a)(8) which requires denial for projects inconsistent with the state
guidelines for Areas of Environmental Concern or local land use plans.
If you wish to appeal this denial, you are entitled to a hearing. The hearing will involve
appearing before an Administrative Law Judge who listens to evidence and arguments of both
parties and then makes a recommendation to the Coastal Resources Commission. Your request
for a hearing must be in the form of a written petition, complying with the requirements of
§15013 of the General Statutes of North Carolina, and must be filed with the Office of
Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-6714, within twenty
(20) days from the date of this letter. A copy of this petition should be filed with this office.

b. Give a brief description of purpose, use, and daily operations of the project when complete.
The purpose of the project is to increase the raw water yield that supplies the reverse osmosis system of the Southern Outer
Banks WTP. The project's use is withdrawal of water from the Yorktown aquifer via groundwater wells. The daily operations
of the project will be groundwater withdrawal via pumping through the two proposed wells. The groundwater will be
transported via a proposed new pipeline, which will connect the two proposed wells to existing transmission mains that
convey groundwater from existing wells to the Southern Outer Banks WTP.
c. Describe the proposed construction methodology, types of construction equipment to be used during construction, the number of each type
of equipment and where it is to be stored.
The approximately 1,300 feet of HDPE pipe and electrical conduit will be installed via horizontal directional drill.
Approximately 930 feet of C-900 PVC pipe will be installed via an open -cut trench. Equipment that is expected to be used
onsite includes one of each of the following: backhoe, directional drill boring machine, mud truck, and support vehicle. More
than one support vehicle may be necessary. Equipment will be stored onsite during construction. The equipment storage
area will be located beyond the 60-foot setback line and outside of jurisdictional waters of the US.
d. List all development activities you propose.
Construction of the two wells was commenced by Carolina Water System in 2006. The well casings and screens are in
place. The County proposes to complete the construction of the wells, including installation of pumps, construction of well
heads, and provision of electrical service and controls to each well. For each well, completion of construction includes a 6-
inch PVC Certa-Lok drop pipe; a stainless steel, submersible pump; construction of the wellhead; concrete pad for the
wellhead and wellhead enclosure; a 480-volt, 3-phase electrical service; manual transfer switch with plug for portable,
standby generator, pump control panel; and RTU panel to connect well to the SOBWS telemetry system. Construction of the
wellhead will involve installation of a well seal, turbine flow meter, isolation valve, check valve, sample tap, level probe,
pressure gauge, and 6-inch flanged, stainless steel piping. The wellhead enclosure will contain the wellhead, air release
valve, sample valve, and level sensor and will measure 6 feet in length, 5 feet in width, and 4 feet in height. A precast
concrete vault will be installed nearby to house a flow meter, check valve, and isolation valve. A 10-inch HDPE pipeline will
be installed to convey raw water from Deep Well No. 2 to the vicinity of Deep Well No. 1, and a 10-inch PVC raw water
pipeline will be installed from Deep Well No. 1 to the existing 144nch raw water line at the intersection of Shad Street and
Whalehead Drive.

b. Give a brief description of purpose, use, and daily operations of the project when complete.
The purpose of the project is to increase the raw water yield that supplies the reverse osmosis system of the Southern Outer
Banks WTP. The project's use is withdrawal of water from the Yorktown aquifer via groundwater wells. The daily operations
of the project will be groundwater withdrawal via pumping through the two proposed wells. The groundwater will be
transported via a proposed new pipeline, which will connect the two proposed wells to existing transmission mains that
convey groundwater from existing wells to the Southern Outer Banks WTP.
c. Describe the proposed construction methodology, types of construction equipment to be used during construction, the number of each type
of equipment and where it is to be stored.
The approximately 1,300 feet of HOPE pipe and electrical conduit will be installed via horizontal directional drill.
Approximately 930 feet of C-900 PVC pipe will be installed via an open -cut trench. Equipment that is expected to be used
onsite includes one of each of the following: backhoe, directional drill boring machine, mud truck, and support vehicle. More
than one support vehicle may be necessary. Equipment will be stored onsite during construction. The equipment storage
area will be located beyond the 60-foot setback line and outside of jurisdictional waters of the US.
d. List all development activities you propose.
Construction of the two wells was commenced by Carolina Water System in 2006. The well casings and screens are in
place. The County proposes to complete the construction of the wells, including installation of pumps, construction of well
heads, and provision of electrical service and controls to each well. For each well, completion of construction includes a 6-
inch PVC Certa-Lok drop pipe; a stainless steel, submersible pump; construction of the wellhead; concrete pad for the
wellhead and wellhead enclosure; a 480-volt, 3-phase electrical service; manual transfer switch with plug for portable,
standby generator, pump control panel; and RTU panel to connect well to the SOBWS telemetry system. Construction of the
wellhead will involve installation of a well seal, turbine flow meter, isolation valve, check valve, sample tap, level probe,
pressure gauge, and 6-inch flanged, stainless steel piping. The wellhead enclosure will contain the wellhead, air release
valve, sample valve, and level sensor and will measure 6 feet in length, 5 feet in width, and 4 feet In height. A precast
concrete vault will be installed nearby to house a flow meter, check valve, and isolation valve. A 10-inch HOPE pipeline will
be installed to convey raw water from Deep Well No. 2 to the vicinity of Deep Well No. 1, and a 10-inch PVC raw water
pipeline will be installed from Deep Well No. 1 to the existing 14-inch raw water line at the intersection of Shad Street and
Whalehead Drive.

Additional Information Required for Permit Application
6a. Project Narrative:
Currituck County, North Carolina, is pursuing an expansion to the existing SouthernOuter
Banks Water Treatment Plant (WTP), located in Corolla, North Carolina. Currituck Cou�'j
acquired several water systems formerly owned by a private utility, Carolina Water Service, Inc.
of North Carolina, resulting in an increase in necessary capacity from 2.1 million gallons per day
(mgd) to 5.1 mgd. The proposed expansion will occur in two phases, from 2.1 mgd to 3.1 mgd
and then from 3.1 mgd to 5.1 mgd. In order to increase the raw water supply to meet the future
3.1-mgd capacity of the WTP, two existing deep wells are proposed to be connected to the raw
water system as described in the following paragraphs.
Two wells in the Yorktown aquifer are planned to supply raw water to the reverse osmosis
system of the Southern Outer Banks WTP, supporting the expansion from 2.1 mgd to 3.1 mgd.
The wells are located in Corolla Light (Figures 1 and 2). The well casings and screens were
installed in 2006 by Carolina Water Service, Inc. and were acquired in 2011 by Currituck
County. The wells are located within the required 60-foot setback area, being 32 feet and 41
feet landward from the stable line of vegetation at Deep Wells #1 and 2, respectively. The
proposed project includes connecting the wells to each other and completing the construction of
the two wells by installing pumps, constructing well heads, and providing electrical service and
controls to each well (Drawings M2, M3, and M4). A 10-inch HDPE pipeline is proposed along
the dune line to convey raw water from Deep Well No. 2 to the vicinity of Deep Well No. 1. The
proposed pipeline will be installed via horizontal directional drill in order to avoid impacts to the
dunes and six existing elevated boardwalks for beach access. Completion of well construction
will include an enclosure for each wellhead and a precast concrete vault at each well, which will
contain valves and a flow meter.
The two wells will be tied into the existing raw water transmission pipe network. A 10-inch PVC
pipeline is proposed to cross to the south side of Shad Street, turn west to follow Shad Street,
and connect to the existing pipeline at the intersection of Shad Street and Whalehead Drive.
The proposed pipeline will be installed via open cut trench from the dune area under Shad
Street and along Shad Street to the tie-in location. The excavated soil will be used to backfill
the trench, and the excavation area will be returned to the existing grade and elevation. The
pavement will be repaired following installation of the pipeline under Shad Street.
The proposed wells and HDPE pipeline connecting the wells will be placed within an existing
easement located within two parcels owned by the Corolla Light Community Association. The
proposed transmission pipeline under and along Shad Street will be located within the existing
NCDOT right-of-way. An encroachment agreement between NCDOT and Currituck County has
been executed and is enclosed.

This notice is intended to make you, the applicant, aware of the
special risks and conditions associated with development in this
area, which is subject to natural hazards such as storms, erosion
and currents. The rules of the Coastal Resources Commission
requite that you receive an AEC Ha7Ard Notice and
acknowledge that notice in writing before a permit for
development can be issued.
The Commission's rules on building standards, oceanfront
setbacks and dune alterations arc designed to minimize, but not
eliminate, property loss from hazards. By granting permits, the
Coastal Resources Commission does not guarantee the safety of
the development and assumes no liability for future damage to
the development. Permits issued in the Ocean Hazard Area of
Environmental Concern include the condition that structures be
relocated or dismantled if they become imminently threatened
by changes in shoreline configuration. The smacture(s) must be
relocated or dismantled within two (2) years of becoming
imminently threatened, and in any case upon its collapse or
subsidence.
'fhe best available information, as accepted by the Coastal
Resources Commission, indicates that the annual long -tern
average ocean erosion ratefor the aura where your property is
located is —gL- feet per year.
The rate was established by careful analysis of aerial
photographs of the coastline taken over (lie past 50 years.
Studies also indicate that the shoreline could move as much as
_M" feet landward in amajor storm.
The flood waters in a major storm are predicted to be about
.I ;�-' feet deep in this area.
Preferred oceanfront protection measures are beach nourishment
and relocation of threatened structures. Hard erosion control
structures such as bulkheads, seawalls, revetments, groins, jetties
and breakwaters are prohibited. Temporary sand bags may be
authorized tinder certain conditions.

SPECIAL NOTE: This hazard notice is required for
development in areas subject to sudden and massive slorme and
erosion. Permits issuedfor development in this area expire on
December 31 of the third year following the year in which the
permit was issued, Shortly before work begins on the project
site, the Local Permit Officer must be contacted to determine the
vegetation line and setback distance of your site. If the property
has seen little change since the time of permit issuance, and the
proposed development can still meet the setback requirement,
the LPO will inform you that you may begin work. Substantial
progress on the project must be made within 60 days of this
setback determination, or the setback must be rommuured. Also,
the occurrence of a major shoreline change as the result of a
storm witnin the.60-day period will necessitate remessumment
of the setback. It is important that you check with the LPO
before the permit expires for official approval to continue the
work after the permit has expired. Generally, if foundation
pilings have been placed and substantial progress is continuing,
permit renewal can be authorized. It is unlawful to continue
work after permit expiration.

.BEFORE YOU BUILD
'Setting,Back for Safety: A Guide to Wise 11eve16pment Along �the Oceanfront
When you Build along• the oceanfront, you take -a calculated risk.,
Natural forces of water and wind collide with tons of force, even,
on calm days.
Man-made structures cannot,be guaranteed to `survive the force
of a hurricane. Long-terip' erosion (or barrier island migration);
may, take, from two to, ten feet of the beach each year,,,and;
sooner or later, will threaten oceanfront structures. These are, the
facts of life for ocean&out property owners.
Tbe'.Coastal Resources Commission (CRC)'�has:adopted rules for
building along the,oceanfront. The rules arel intended4o avoid'an
unreasonable risk to life, and property, and to, limit public' and
private losses'. from 'storm and long-term erosion. These: rules:
J ssen, but do not eliminate the element of risk in oceanfoont'
development.
As you consider building along the oceanfront, time CRC wants
you to understand the rules and the risks, with this knowledge,
you can make+amore iuformed'decision about where, and how to
build imthe?'coastal area.
The Rules
When you build along, the; oceanfront, coastal management rules
require that the structure be sited to fit safely into' the., beach
environment.
Structures along the oceanfront, less,than 5,000 square feet in
size, must be behind the frontal dune; landward of the crestrof
the primary :dune, and set back from the first, line of stable
natural vegetation a distance equal to 30 times the, annual
erosion' rate, -la minimutm of 60 feet5.: The setback calculation
increases.,as -tlie size of the structure •increases '[15A NCAC
71I.0306,(a)(2)]. For example: A structure between 5,000 and
1'0;060,square feet would require a setback from'ilie first line of
stable, natural vegetation to a distance .equal to 60 times time
annual erosion rate .(a minimum of 120 feet): The graduated•
setback continues to increasedhroughstructure sizes greater3llan

Development Proposal
Due to an expansion to the Southern Outer Banks Water Treatment Plant (WTP) in Corolla, an
increase in water capacity from 2.1 million gallons per day (mgd) to 3.1 mgd is required to meet
the future demands of the WTP. In order to meet the increase to the raw water supply, the
applicant proposes to complete construction on two existing deep wells and then connect them
to an existing raw water pipe.
The two existing deep wells (Deep Well #1, Deep Well #2) were installed in 2006 and at that
time only well casings and screens were installed. Both wells are located within the 60'
Oceanfront Setback area, being 32' and 41' landward of the FLSNV at Deep Wells #1 and 2,
respectively. For each well, completion of construction includes a 6" PVC Certa-Lok drop pipe;
a stainless steel submersible pump; construction of the wellhead; an 8'x6' concrete pad for the
wellhead and wellhead enclosure; a 480-volt, 3-phase electrical service; manual transfer switch
with plug for a portable, standby generator; pump control panel; and an RTU panel to connect
the well to the Southern Outer Banks Water Service telemetry system. Construction of the
wellhead will involve installation of a well seal, turbine flow meter, isolation valve, check valve,
sample tap, level probe, pressure gauge, and 6" flanged stainless steel piping. The wellhead
enclosure will contain the wellhead, air release valve, sample valve, and level sensor and will
measure 6 feet in length, 5 feet in width, and 4 feet in height. An 8'x5' precast concrete vault
will be installed landward of the 60' Oceanfront Setback to house a flow meter, check valve,
and isolation valve. The wells will be connected to the vaults with a 10" HDPE pipe via open cut
trenching.
Fill material will be brought in to elevate the area surrounding the wells and vaults above the
100-year flood elevation in order to comply with FEMA regulations. At the location of Deep Well
#1, the installation of the wellhead will require grading a maximum area of t46'x30' on the
backside of the primary dune.
Approximately 1,370' of 10" HDPE pipeline will be installed to convey raw water from Deep
Well #2 to the vicinity of Deep Well #1 via directional boring in order to avoid impacts to the
dunes and existing beach accessways. The two wells will then be tied to the existing raw water
transmission pipe network. Approximately 760' of 10" PVC pipeline will be installed via open cut
trenching from Deep Well #1 crossing to the south side of Shad Street and paralleling the
street in a westerly direction where it will then connect to the existing pipeline at the intersection
of Shad Street and Whalehead Drive. The excavated soil will be used to backfill the trench, and
the excavated area will be returned to the existing grade and elevation. The pavement will be
repaired following installation of the pipeline under Shad Street.
Upon completion of the wells, a 24-hour pump test will be conducted. Brackish groundwater
produced from the test will be discharged directly into the Atlantic Ocean via flexible hoses
placed over the dunes and the flat beach. After the 24-hour test, no additional discharges will
occur.

• The elevating of the wellheads and vaults will result in fill material being placed within an
area of ±4,180 sf at Deep Well #1 and ±2,803 sf at Deep Well #2.
• At Deep Well #1, installation of the wellhead will require grading a maximum area of ±1,380
sf on the backside of the primary dune.
• The 24-hour pump test may result in temporary water degradation within the adjacent

Additional Information Required for Permit Application
6a. Project Narrative:
Currituck County, North Carolina, is pursuing an expansion to the existing Southern Outer
Banks Water Treatment Plant (WTP), located in Corolla, North Carolina. Currituck County
acquired several water systems formerly owned by a private utility, Carolina Water Service, Inc.
of North Carolina, resulting in an increase in necessary capacity from 2.1 million gallons per day
(mgd) to 5.1 mgd. The proposed expansion will occur in two phases, from 2.1 mgd to 3.1 mgd
and then from 3.1 mgd to 5.1 mgd. In order to increase the raw water supply to meet the future
3.1-mgd capacity of the WTP, two existing deep wells are proposed to be connected to the raw
water system as described in the following paragraphs.
Two wells in the Yorktown aquifer are planned to supply raw water to the reverse osmosis
system of the Southern Outer Banks WTP, supporting the expansion from 2.1 mgd to 3.1 mgd.
The wells are located in Corolla Light (Figures 1 and 2). The well casings and screens were
installed in 2006 by Carolina Water Service, Inc. and were acquired in 2011 by Currituck
County. The wells are located within the required 60-foot setback area, being 32 feet and 41
feet landward from the stable line of vegetation at Deep Wells #1 and 2, respectively. The
proposed project includes connecting the wells to each other and completing the construction of
the two wells by installing pumps, constructing well heads, and providing electrical service and
controls to each well (Drawings M2, M3, and M4). A 10-inch HDPE pipeline is proposed along
the dune line to convey raw water from Deep Well No. 2 to the vicinity of Deep Well No. 1. The
proposed pipeline will be installed via horizontal directional drill in order to avoid impacts to the
dunes and six existing elevated boardwalks for beach access. Completion of well construction
will include an enclosure for each wellhead and a precast concrete vault at each well, which will
contain valves and a flow meter.
The two wells will be tied into the existing raw water transmission pipe network. A 10-inch PVC
pipeline is proposed to cross to the south side of Shad Street, turn west to follow Shad Street,
and connect to the existing pipeline at the intersection of Shad Street and Whalehead Drive.
The proposed pipeline will be installed via open cut trench from the dune area under Shad
Street and along Shad Street to the tie-in location. The excavated soil will be used to backfill
the trench, and the excavation area will be returned to the existing grade and elevation. The
pavement will be repaired following installation of the pipeline under Shad Street.
The proposed wells and HDPE pipeline connecting the wells will be placed within an existing
easement located within two parcels owned by the Corolla Light Community Association. The
proposed transmission pipeline under and along Shad Street will be located within the existing
NCDOT right-of-way. An encroachment agreement between NCDOT and Currituck County has
been executed and is enclosed.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Doug Huggett, Ma' r Permit Coordinator
FROM: Charlan Owens&CP, NE DCM District Planner
SUBJECT: Major Permit Request by Currituck County to complete construction of two (2)
deep wells, install a pipeline connecting the wells to an existing raw water line,
and pump test each well for 24 hours with a total discharge of 2 million gallons
of water into the Atlantic Ocean; on two (2) parcels located along the Atlantic
Ocean shoreline just north of the Shad Street beach access walkover and
within the Shad Street NCDOT right-of-way from the terminus to Whalehead
Drive, in the Corolla Light community, in Currituck County.
Date: March 26, 2013
Consistency Determination: The request is consistent with/not in conflict with the Currituck
County 2006 Core Land Use Plan (LUP) certified by the CRC
on May 18, 2007 as amended through June 24, 2009.
Overview: The project site is located on two (2) parcels totaling 12.26 acres and within the
North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) right-of-way of Shad Street, and
extends 1,840 linear feet along the Atlantic Ocean shoreline from the Franklyn Court beach
access walkover to the Shad Street beach access walkover, and along the south side of Shad
Street to Whalehead Drive. The County has an easement over the two (2) parcels, which are
considered open space and owned by the Corolla Light Community Association, and has an
encroachment agreement from the NCDOT for the Shad Street right-of-way. The project site
is within the VE Floodzone.
Existing improvements on the two (2) parcels include nineteen (19) wells located landward of
the primary dune and seven (7) beach access dune walkovers. The wells withdraw water
from the Yorktown aquifer. Two (2) deep wells were partially constructed (casings and
screens installed) by Carolina Water Service, Inc., a private utility, in 2006. Both wells are
located landward of the frontal dune. Deep Well # 1 is located between the Shad Street dune
walkover and the community dune walkover at Morris Drive and Deep Well #2 is located
between the community dune walkover at Franklyn Court and a walkover shared by the
properties at 1113 and 1115 Franklyn Street. The 60 foot wide Shad Street right-of-way
includes a 20 foot wide paved roadway. The wooden dune walkover is located at the
pavement terminus.

In 2011, Currituck County acquired several water systems formerly owned by Carolina Water
Service, Inc. This has resulted in the need to increase raw water supply at the reverse
osmosis South Outer Banks Water Treatment Plant (WTP) from 2.1 million gallons per day
(mgd) to 5.1 mgd. The proposed raw water supply expansion will occur in two (2) phases,
from 2.1 to 3.1 mgd and from 3.1 to 5.1 mgd.
Completion of the two (2) deep wells, installation of pipeline connecting the wells to an
existing raw water line, and pump testing of each well for 24 hours with a total discharge of 2
million gallons of brackish water directly into the Atlantic Ocean are proposed. Completion of
each well will include installation of drop pipe, submersible pump and control panel, electrical
service, and manual transfer switch and a connection to the WTP telemetry system. An 8 foot
by 6 foot concrete pad with a 6 foot wide by 5 foot long by 4 foot high wellhead enclosure will
be installed. Between 34 feet (Deep Well #1) and 46 feet (Deep Well #2) landward of each
well, an 8 foot wide by 5 foot long by 7 foot deep vault housing a flow meter, check valve, and
isolation valve will be installed. The wells will be connected to the vaults by 10 inch HDPE
pipe. Approximately 1,370 linear feet of 10 inch HDPE pipe will be installed to convey raw
water from Deep Well #2 to Deep Well #1. Approximately 760 linear feet of 10 inch PVC
pipeline will be installed from Deep Well #1 to the south side of Shad Street and on to
Whalehead Drive where it will connect with the existing pipeline. Fill material will be brought
in to elevate the area surrounding the wells and vaults above the 100-year flood elevation in
order to comply with FEMA regulations. Installation of the wellhead at Deep Well #1 will
require grading a 30 foot by 46 foot area on the backside of the primary dune. For pipe
installation, directional boring will be utilized to avoid impacts to dunes and existing dune
walkovers. Open cut trenching will be used from Deep Well #1 to Whalehead Drive.
Excavated soil will be used to backfill the trench and excavated area will be returned to
existing grade and elevation. Pavement will be repaired following installation of the pipeline
under Shad Street.
A 24 hour pump test will be conducted upon completion of the wells. Brackish groundwater
will be discharged directly into the Atlantic Ocean via flexible hoses placed over the dunes and
the flat beach. After the 24 hour test, no additional discharge will occur.
Adjacent development is served by the Corolla Light Wastewater Treatment Plants (No. 1 or
No. 2), which are operated by Carolina Water Services of North Carolina.
The waters of the Atlantic Ocean are classified as SB and are closed to shellfish taking. A
review of archaeological sites on or near the property was not included.
Anticipated impact: resulting from this project is expected to include: the disturbance of .82
acre of Ocean Hazard Area of Environmental Concern (AEC).
The expansion will expand the raw water supply to 3.1 mgd.
Basis for Determination:
The site is designated as "Full Service Areas" on the Currituck County Future Land Use Map
(FLUM); with Areas of Environmental Concern (AECs) also designated as "Conservation
Areas" as indicated on Page 11-1. RECE WD

Areas designated as Full Service are those parts of the county where a broad range of
infrastructure and service investments have been provided or will be made available by the
public and/or private sectors. Infrastructure investments may include, for example, community
level or centralized water.
The purpose of the Conservation designation is to provide for the long-term management and
protection of significant, limited, or irreplaceable areas. Proper management is needed to
conserve the natural, cultural, recreational, scenic or biologically productive values of these
areas. The designation is applied to areas that should not be developed at all (preserved), or
if developed, done so in a very limited manner characterized by careful planning and cautious
attention to the conservation of environmental features. As indicated on Page 11-2, the
standards of the Conservation class shall be applied in accordance with the site specific
information made available during special studies and/or the land development process.
The project site is located within the "Corolla" subarea. The Corolla area is 85 to 90 percent
developed. There is little reason to believe that most of Corolla's growth is behind it, however.
On the contrary, the future of this area will be determined less by new development on vacant
lots and more by second and third generation redevelopment of lots already built upon. As the
value of barrier island property has continued to escalate, the economic incentive for
redevelopment of existing properties has heightened dramatically. In other words, the value of
the land can justify a much greater investment in the structure placed upon it. This means
that older era beach cottages can be torn down and replaced by much larger and more
massive residential structures. It also means that, as this phenomenon takes effect, the
Corolla area will witness increases in impervious surface areas, greater demand for drinking
water and wastewater treatment capacities, the need for more parking, greater traffic
generation, and the need for greater fire flows to handle much larger, bulkier structures (Page
11-10, LUP)
The policy emphasis for this area indicates that development and redevelopment should be
capable of being supported by the area's infrastructure and services —particularly drinking
water, sewage treatment, road capacity, parking areas, and required fire suppression
capabilities. Development standards should recognize that massive residential structures,
whether built as a "single family" structure or partitioned into multi -family condominiums, can
be equally intense in terms of the number of occupants, number of cars, water consumed,
traffic generated, etc.
Definitions of key words are provided on page 9-2. These words include "Encourage: to favor
or foster", "Should: Ought to, if no valid reason not to", and "Support: to shore up, may imply
financial support".

Stormwater Project No. SW7130306
Currituck County
Dear Mr. Weatherly:
The Washington Regional Office received a copy of your CAMA Major application for proposed wellfield expansion
project, located at the east end of Shad Street, Corolla Light Subdivision, Corolla, Currituck County, NC on March 12,
2013. Staff review of the plans and specifications has determined that the project, as proposed, consists of activities that
will not pose surface water quality threats from stormwater runoff since no significant new impervious area is proposed.
The Director has determined that projects that are reviewed and approved by the Division as not posing water quality
threats from stormwater runoff should not be subject to the stornwater management permitting requirements of 15A
NCAC 2H.1000 and SL 2008-211. For this reason, we are informing you byway of this letter that your project will not
require a State Stormwater management permit at this time.
i The stornwater rules require the Division to permit the common plan of development, therefore, any future development
on the property, regardless of whether a SEC plan or CAMA Major permit is also required, will require a Stormwater
Management Permit application and permit issuance from the Division of Water Quality prior to any construction. Any
construction on the subject site, prior to receipt of the required permit, will constitute a violation of 15A NCAC 2H.1000
and SL 2008-211 and may result in appropriate enforcement actions by this Office.
Please keep in mind that this determination does not affect your legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be
required by the Division of Water Quality, the Division of Land Resources, Coastal Area Management Act or any other
Federal, State or Local Government.
Please reference the Stormwater Project Number above on all correspondence. If you have any questions or need additional
information concerning this matter, please contact Samir Dumpor at (252) 946-6481.
Sincerely,
Ot' z-'

DWQ Project # 13-0247
Currituck County
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has received a copy of your CAMA Major application. DWQ issues
approvals in the form of a Water Quality Certification (WQC) in conjunction with the CAMA Major Permit and
General Permit(s) 198000291 issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). This Certification allows
you to use the CAMA Major Permit when the Division of Coastal Management issues it.
In accordance with the attached General Certification #3900 (GC3900), the impacts described in your
application do not require written authorization to utilize GC 3900. However, you are required to follow the
conditions listed in the attached certification. You should get or otherwise comply with any other federal, state
and local requirements before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) erosion and
sediment control regulations. Please be advised that discharges of groundwater generated by well construction
or other construction activities are deemed permitted pursuant to G.S. 143-215.1 (c).
This approval is for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change your project,
you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner
must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all
conditions. If total fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre of wetland or 150 linear feet of
stream, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). This letter
completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have
any questions, please telephone Roberto Scheller in the Washington Regional Office at 252-948-3940 or Karen
Higgins of the Wetland, Buffer, Stormwater, Compliance and Permitting (Webscape) Unit at 919-807-6360.
