Dear Mr. Collins:
WQC Project #970219, COE Project #199703947
Dare County
On March, 6 1997, you requested a 401 Water Quality Certification from the Division
of Water Quality for your project (commercial fill) located near Manteo in Dare County.
We wrote to you on March 17, 1997 discussing concerns that we have regarding the design
of the project and placing it on hold until those concerns are addressed. As of today, we
have not received a response to our earlier letter. Unless we receive a written response
from you by December 19,1997, we will consider that you have withdrawn this application
and are not interested in pursuing the project at this time.
Please call me at 919-733-1786 if you have any questions or would like to discuss this
matter.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Collins:
On 6 March 1997, you applied to the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for a 401 Water Quality
Certification to impact 4.34 acres of wetlands or waters for your project (development of a commercial
building) located at US 64/264 and NC 345 in Dare County. Your project has been forwarded to Mr.
Deborah Sawyer [phone] of DWQ Washington Regional Office for review. This review will likely
require an on-site inspection prior to the approval, modification or denial of your project site. If you have
sent additional information to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers concerning this project, please be certain
that our staff have copies of this material so we can use it in our process in making a decision.
According to our preliminary, in-house review since you propose to disturb greater than one acre of
wetlands, it is likely that compensatory mitigation will be required by DWQ for this project as described in
15A NCAC 211.0506 (h). Our Regional Office staff can make this decision during their site visit. If
adequate mitigation is required but not provided, this project will likely have to be denied. Also if a
mitigation plan is required, we will place this project on hold until its receipt in our Central Office.
Enclosed are materials describing compensatory mitigation requirements for this program. Please call me at
919-733-1786 to discuss these matters if necessary. Until a mitigation plan is provided, this application is
considered to be incomplete and our processing time will not start.
We recommend that you not impact any wetlands or waters on your project site until a 401 Water
Quality Certification has been issued from Raleigh, The issuance of a Corps of Engineers 404 Permit does
not mean that your project can proceed According to the Clean Water Act, the 404 Permit is not valid
until a 401 Certification is also issued. If DWQ staff observe impacts which are not allowable, you will be
required to remove the fill and restore the site to its original condition. I can be reached at 919-733-1786 if
you have any questions about the 401 Certification process.
Sincerely,
Joh . Dorney

Dear Mr. Vick:

Subject: US 64264 Improvements, TIP No. R-2551
Dare County
The Environmental Assessment (EA) was written for the Manteo Bypass (TIP No. R-2551) and
released for public review in December 1996. Private projects in the area have recently been received
by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ). One project by Mr. Rudolph Collins is to develop a Food Lion
Shopping Center near the NC 345/US 64-264 intersection. A map supplied by the consultant for that
project indicated that there would be direct access to the Manteo Bypass. A recent application for a
mining permit from the Bamhill Construction Company on behalf of Mr. Rudolph Collins concerns land
adjacent to the proposed Food Lion Shopping Center. We believe that this mine is being developed
as a source of borrow for the US 64-264 causeway. The resource agencies' policy has been to require
compensatory wetland mitigation for impacts due to borrow or wasting within wetlands. We re-
emphasised this policy in our February 12, 1997 letter stating that DOT should require the contractor
to locate suitable borrow in upland sites. The mining permit did not have a wetland delineation line on
it. However, the Food Lion Shopping Center map shows wetlands continuing on the adjacent
property.
The issue of partial / no control of access continues to be of concern to DWQ due to cumulative
wetland impacts. The purpose of the project is to improve hurricane evacuation and bypass Manteo to
reduce some of the "through traffic". DWQ has been told from the initial stages of this project that
there would be "full control of access where possible, thereby limiting new development / roadside
interference" (August 19, 1993 handout). Since we have already received projects with known
wetland impacts due to the road construction, DWQ suggests that DOT select one of these strategies
for the FONSI: 1) change to full control of access or 2) fully discuss secondary and cumulative impacts
to wetlands and waters. Should the FONSI be released without one of these strategies, we will object
to the document.
Should you have any questions, please contact Mr. Eric Galamb or me at 733-1786.

Please reference my April 28, 1997, correspondence regarding your application for
Department of the Army (DA) individual permit authorization to discharge fill material within
4.34 acres of jurisdictional wetlands, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, for the
purpose of constructing a grocery store and related small businesses at the southwest corner of
the intersection of US264/64 and NC 345, adjacent to the Roanoke Sound, in Manteo, Dare
County, North Carolina. This letter also serves to confirm a May 20, 1997, telephone
conversation between Mr. David Lekson of my, staff and your agent, Mr. Gary Mitchell.
In my April 28 letter, I requested that you immediately submit additional information
regarding avoidance, minimization, and compensatory mitigation for proposed wetland impacts
associated with your project. To date, my staff has not received this information, which is
critical to our expeditious evaluation of your application. It was discovered during the above
mentioned telephone conversation, that it may be some time before the requested information
is made available to my staff. Additionally, we have learned that the North Carolina Division
of Water Quality has suspended their review of your project pending receipt of an acceptable
mitigation plan. Based upon these facts, my staff is unable to proceed with the evaluation of
your application.
By copy of this letter, you are hereby notified that your application for DA permit
application has been officially retired. Your file may be reopened pending receipt of the
requested information.

PUBLIC NOTICE
MR. RUDOLPH COLLINS, c/o GARY MITCHELL AND ASSOCIATES, INC.,
128 NORTH HARDING STREET, GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA 27858,
Telephone [phone], has applied for a Department of the Army permit TO
DISCHARGE FILL MATERIAL INTO 4.34 ACRES OF SECTION 404 WETLANDS
FOR THE PURPOSE OF FACILITATING THE CONSTRUCTION OF A BUILDING
PAD, INCLUDING PARKING, TO ALLOW FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT,
LOCATED ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE U.S. 64/264 AND NC 345
INTERSECTION, ROANOKE ISLAND, NAGS HEAD TOWNSHIP, DARE COUNTY,
NORTH CAROLINA.
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant
and from observations made during an onsite inspection on February 25, 1997, by a
representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the application show that
the applicant proposes to fill 4.34 acres of wetlands primarily vegetated with loblolly pine,
sweetbay, redbay, sweetgum, wateroak, cinnamon fern, and assorted wetland herbaceous
undergrowth. The fill area will be approximately 395 feet wide by 480 feet long with the
ultimate fill area within wetlands of 189,050 square feet (4.34 ac.). The purpose of the
work is to create a building pad for the construction of a commercial facility. Plans
showing the work are included with this public notice.
The applicant has determined that the proposed work is consistent with the North
Carolina Coastal Zone Management Plan and has submitted this determination to the'
North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM) for their review and
concurrence. This proposal shall be reviewed for the applicability of other actions by
North Carolina agencies such as:
a. The issuance of a Water Quality Certification under Section 401 of the Clean
Water Act by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM).
b. The issuance of a permit to dredge and/or fill under North Carolina General
Statute 113-229 by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM).

-2-
c. The issuance of a permit under the North Carolina Coastal Area Management
Act (CAMA) by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM) or
their delegates.
d. The issuance of an easement to fill or otherwise occupy State-owned submerged
land under North Carolina General Statute 143-341(4), 146-6, 146-11, and 146-12 by the
North Carolina Department of Administration (NCDA) and the North Carolina Council
of State.
e. The approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan by the Land Quality
Section, North Carolina Division of Land Resources (NCDLR), pursuant to the State
Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (NC G.S. 113 A-50-66).
The requested Department of the Army (DA) permit will be denied if any required
State or local authorization and/or certification is denied. No DA permit will be issued
until a State coordinated viewpoint is received and reviewed by this agency. Recipients
of this notice are encouraged to furnish comments on factors of concern represented by
the above agencies directly to the respective agency, with a copy furnished to the Corps
of Engineers.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within the comment period
specified in the notice, that a public hearing be held to consider this application. Requests
for public hearing shall state, with particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.
The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the National Register
of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered properties, or properties listed
as being eligible for inclusion therein, and this site is not registered property or property
listed as being eligible for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register
constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District Engineer, and he is
otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources. Presently, unknown archaeological,
scientific, prehistorical, or historical data may be lost or destroyed by work under the
requested permit.
The District Engineer, based on available information, is not aware that the proposed
activity will affect species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened
pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973.

The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable
impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity and its intended use on the
public interest. Evaluation of the probable impacts which the proposed activity may have on
-3-
the public interest requires a careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant
in each particular case. The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from
the proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The decision
whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which it will be allowed to
occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the general balancing process. That
decision should reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization of important
resources. All factors which may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including
the cumulative effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general
environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards and
flood plain values (in accordance with Executive Order 11988), land use, navigation, shore
erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy
needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of property
ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the
placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, a permit will be denied
if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit would not comply with the
Environmental Protection Agencies' 404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence
and any other applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District
Engineer determines that it would be contrary to the public interest.
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State and local
agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested parties in order to consider and
evaluate the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by
the Corps of Engineers to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for
this proposal. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered
species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental effects and the other public
interest factors listed above. Comments are used in the preparation of an Environmental
Assessment (EA) and/or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Comments are also used to determine the need for a
public hearing and to determine the overall public interest of the proposed activity.
Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed
at'the offices of the Environmental Operations Section, North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management (NCDEM), Salisbury Street, Archdale Building, Raleigh,
North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished to any person requesting
copies upon payment of reproduction costs.
The North Carolina Division of Environmental Management plans to take final action in
the issuance of the Clean Water Act Certification on or after May 18, 1996.
-4-
All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean Water
Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management (NCDEM), Post Office Box 27687, Raleigh, North Carolina
27611-7687, on or before March 22, 1997, ATTN: Mr. John Dorney.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be
received in this office, Attention: Art Coppola, Washington Regulatory Field Office,
Post Office Box 1000, Washington, North Carolina 27889-1000, until 3:30 p.m., April 8,

In a letter dated March 13, 1997, Dr. Vince Bellis brought to our attention the
potential that archaeological resources associated with the Civil War may exist on the
project site. Additionally, in a letter dated April 3, 1997, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service recommended denial of your application. It is DA policy to provide an applicant

Wilmington, North Carolina 28402-1890
Dear District Engineer,
The purpose of this correspondence is for Mitchell and Associates, Inc.,
representing Mr. Rudolph Collins, to submit an application for the placement
of fill material within Section 404 Department of the Army jurisdictional
wetlands, located southeast of the intersection of US 64/264 and NC 345,
Roanoke Island, Nags Head Township, Dare County, North Carolina.
The purpose of the proposed fill in wetlands is to facilitate the construction of '
commercial property, including a grocery store and other related small
businesses. The proposed fill area will support building pads to accommodate
various construction activities including building foundations, access ways, and
parking areas.
The applicant has considered other alternatives to the placement of fill
material in wetlands, however, the proposed plan is the only practicable
alternative available. Considering the fact that commercial property in the
area is limited and the applicant does not own any other property in the area
suitable for this type of development, relocating the business to another area to
avoid wetland impacts is not a viable alternative. Additionally, the applicant
has appreciable minimized potential wetland impacts associated with the
proposed commercial construction.
The applicant has agreed to discuss potential on-site mitigation in order to
compensate for potential wetland losses associated with the project. Therefore,
we would request possible mitigation be considered. At this time we are
researching which areas would best serve this capacity.
By copy of this completed Department of the Army Individual Permit
Application and attached cover letter, I am requesting your consideration of °

DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY
Wilmington. District, Corps of Engineers
Post Office Box 1890
Wilmington, North Carolina 28402-1890
Action ID No. 199703947
PUBLIC NOTICE
March 6, 1997
MR. RUDOLPH COLLINS, c/o GARY MITCHELL AND ASSOCIATES, INC.,
128 NORTH HARDING STREET, GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA 27858,
Telephone [phone], has applied for a Department of the Army permit TO
DISCHARGE FILL MATERIAL INTO 4.34 ACRES OF SECTION 404 WETLANDS
FOR THE PURPOSE OF FACILITATING THE CONSTRUCTION OF A BUILDING
PAD, INCLUDING PARKING, TO ALLOW FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT,
LOCATED ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE U.S. 64/264 AND NC 345
INTERSECTION, ROANOKE ISLAND, NAGS HEAD TOWNSHIP, DARE COUNTY,
NORTH CAROLINA.
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant
and from observations made during an onsite inspection on February 25, 1997, by a
representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the application show that
the applicant proposes to fill 4.34 acres of wetlands primarily vegetated with loblolly pine,
sweetbay, redbay, sweetgum, wateroak, cinnamon fern, and assorted wetland herbaceous
undergrowth. The fill area will be approximately 395 feet wide by 480 feet long with the
ultimate fill area within wetlands of 189,050 square feet (4.34 ac.). The purpose of the
work is to create a building pad for the construction of a commercial facility. Plans
showing the work are included with this public notice.
The applicant has determined that the proposed work is consistent with the North
Carolina Coastal Zone Management Plan and has submitted this determination to the
North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM) for their review and
concurrence. This proposal shall be reviewed for the applicability of other actions by
North Carolina agencies such as:
a. The issuance of a Water Quality Certification under Section 401 of the Clean
Water Act by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM).
b. The issuance of a permit to dredge and/or fill under North Carolina General
Statute 113-229 by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM).

-2-
c. The issuance of a permit under the North Carolina Coastal Area Management
Act (CAMA) by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM) or
their delegates.
d. The issuance of an easement to fill or otherwise occupy State-owned submerged
land under North Carolina General Statute 143-341(4), 146-6, 146-11, and 146-12 by *the
North Carolina Department of Administration (NCDA) and the North Carolina Council
of State.
e. The approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan by the Land Quality
Section, North Carolina Division of Land Resources (NCDLR), pursuant to the State
Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (NC G.S. 113 A-50-66). - -
The requested Department of the Army (DA) permit will be denied if any required
State or local authorization and/or certification is denied. No DA permit will be issued
until a State coordinated viewpoint is received and reviewed by this agency. Recipients
of this notice are encouraged to furnish comments on factors of concern represented by
the above agencies directly to the respective agency, with a copy furnished to the Corps
of Enaineers.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within the comment period
specified in the notice, that a public hearing be held to consider this application. Requests
for public hearing shall state, with particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.
The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the National Register
of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered properties, or properties listed
as being eligible for inclusion therein, and this site is not registered property or property
listed as being eligible for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register
constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District Engineer, and he is
otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources. Presently, unknown archaeological,
scientific, prehistorical, or historical data may be lost or destroyed by work under the
requested permit.
The District Engineer, based on available information, is not aware that the proposed
activity will affect species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened
pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable
impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity and its intended use on the
public interest. Evaluation of the probable impacts which the proposed activity may have on

-3-
the public interest requires a careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant
in each particular case. The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from
the proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The decision
whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which it will be allowed to
occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the general balancing process. That
decision should reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization of important
resources. All factors which may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including
the cumulative effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general
environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards and
flood plain values (in accordance with Executive Order 11988), land use, navigation, shore
erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy
needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of property
ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the
placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, a permit will be denied
if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit would not comply with the
Environmental Protection Agencies' 404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence
and any other applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District
Engineer determines that it would be contrary to the public interest.
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State and local
agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested parties in order to consider and
evaluate the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by
the Corps of Engineers to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for
this proposal. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered
species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental effects and the other public
interest factors listed above. Comments are used in the preparation of an Environmental
Assessment (EA) and/or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Comments are also used to determine the need for a
public hearing and to determine the overall public interest of the proposed activity.
Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed
at'the offices of the Environmental Operations Section, North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management (NCDEM), Salisbury Street, Archdale Building, Raleigh,
North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished to any person requesting
copies upon payment of reproduction costs.
The North Carolina Division of Environmental Management plans to take final action in
the issuance of the Clean Water Act Certification on or after May 18, 1996.

-4-
All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean Water
Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management (NCDEM), Post Office Box 27687, Raleigh, North Carolina
27611-7687, on or before March 22, 1997, ATTN: Mr. John Dorney.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be
received in this office, Attention: Art Coppola, Washington Regulatory Field Office,
Post Office Box 1000, Washington, North Carolina 27889-1000, until 3:30 p.m., April 8,
1997, or telephone [phone], extension 24.
