APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Dear Mr. And Ms. Selig
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to repair and stabilize two
existing wood bulkheads with rip-rap along the Pasquotank River as you described in your application
received by the NC Division of Coastal Management on June 28, 1999. After reviewing your application,
we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3112. This
Certification allows to use your CAMA Permit when the NC Division of Coastal Management issues it.
In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project
including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge and
Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire when the accompanying CAMA
Permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
This approval is only valid 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 for a new
certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and approval
letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fills for this project
(now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A
NCAC 2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached
certification.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory
hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a
written petition which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of
Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and its
conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
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 John Dorney at 919-733-9646.

Julian and Betsey Selig, Elizabeth City
Bio Report,
Page 2
Site Description
The site involves an existing bulkheaded shoreline along the Pasquotank River, downstream
from the Elizabeth City-Camden Causeway Bridge, in a residential section of Elizabeth City.
This proposal concerns a single family residence owned by Julian and Betsey Selig.
The "Selig" shoreline includes some 100 feet along an adjacent basin/canal as well as about
260 feet along the Pasquotank River. The shoreline is currently stabilized with a wood
bulkhead which is in need of tieback repair and sheathing replacement. A staggered row of
remnant piles exist 1-2 feet waterward of the existing bulkhead wall along the River front
sections. A 50 foot long boardwalk straddles a portion of the canal shoreline. Water depths at
the bulkhead wall range between 3 ft. and 6 ft. below the NWL Both adjacent property
shorelines are currently stabilized with bulkhead.
The elevation of the yard within the tieback area is close to the normal water level and appears
to have a tendency to flood during high water level events. The yard is landscaped in lawn and
ornamental vegetation under a canopy predominately of bald cypress with some loblolly pine.
The waters of this segment of the Pasquotank River are classified as Joint Waters by the
North Carolina Marine Fisheries and Wildlife Resources Commissions. These waters of the
Pasquotank River are not open to any shellfish harvests. Although submerged aquatic
vegetation (SAV) are present in many areas of the Pasquotank River, there did not appear to
be any significant SAV patches in the vicinity of this proposal. Upstream sections of the river
are noted as spawning areas for anadromous fish species.
Project Proposal
The proposed work will include stabilizing the above described shoreline in such a way as to
allow the existing bulkhead to remain intact. The upper portion of the existing bulkhead will
be removed to allow for the placement of rip rap material both landward and waterward of the
NWL. This methodology will also allow the existing row of remnant piles to remain in place.
Work will require the removal of the existing walkway located along the canal shoreline.
Work will be conducted from off-shore by barge to minimize disturbance to the shoreline and
the existing bulkhead structure. This project involves the placement of rock rip rap at a 1.5 to
1 slope in front of the existing bulkhead. The structure slope will extend waterward of the
existing bulkhead between 6 and 12 feet.
Anticipated Impacts
The proposed shoreline stabilization will result in the filling of approximately 3,780 sf. of
Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area within the Pasquotank River. The shoreline
stabilization will require the placement of approximately 300 cy. of rock below the NWL. A
temporary increase in turbidity will be experienced during the placement of stabilization rock
along the shoreline. The proposed work should not interfere with navigation and will not
adversely impact any wetlands.

Dear Mr. Dorsey:

Please reference the application of Julian and Betsey Selig for Department of the Army (DA)
authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to repair an existing bulkhead and place
rock riprap material waterward of the bulkhead alignment, on property located at 1210 Riverside
Avenue, adjacent to the Pasquotank River, in Elizabeth City, Pasquotank County, North
Carolina. Your receipt of this letter verifies your acceptance of a valid request for certification
in accordance with Section 325.2(b)(ii) of our administrative regulations.
We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act, and we have determined that a water quality certification is required under the
provisions of Section 401 of the same law. A Department of the Army permit will not be granted
until the certification has been obtained or waived.
In accordance with our administrative regulations, in most cases, 60 days after receipt
of a request for certification is a reasonable time for State action. Therefore, if you have not
acted on the request, or asked for an extension of time, by September 29, 1999, the District
Engineer will deem that waiver has occurred.
