Dear Mr. McKerall:
You have our approval to place temporary fill in 0.01 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of
constructing a temporary ferry during repairs to the swing bridge over the AIWW at Onslow Beach, as you
described in your application dated 25 October 1996. After reviewing your application, we have decided that
this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 2727. This certification allows you to use
Nationwide Permit Number 33 when it is issued by the Corps of Engineers.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application except as
modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new
application. For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification
and any additional conditions listed below. Fill material must be completely removed after completion of the
bridge repairs and the area revegetated with native vegetation. 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.
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 919-733-1786.
Sincerely,

Marine Corps Base, Camp Lejeune proposes to perform repairs to the existing swing bridge
which crosses the intracoastal waterway at Onslow Beach. These repairs require keeping the
bridge in the open position for approximately two months. In order to allow access to Onslow
Beach during this period, the Marine Corps proposes to construct a temporary ferry, which will
be dismantled upon completion of repairs. All construction will be consistent with the North
Carolina Coastal Management Program and 15 CFR 930 and the conditions for construction of
temporary structures in estuarine Areas of Environmental Concern contained in 15A NCAC
7H.1900.
It is our opinion that this activity can be permitted and the ationwide Permit Program.
Therefore, for your consideration, we have enclosed a i6nwi
de Permit Application, 8 1/2 x
11 " plans, and representative site photographs.
In order for our organization to track this project, we request that your related correspondence

adversely impact coastal wetlands.
3. The structures shall not disrupt the movement of those species of aquatic life
indigenous to the waterbody.
4. Representatives of the Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources may
make periodic inspections at any time necessary to ensure that the activity being performed under
authority of the general permit is in accordance with the stated terms and conditions.
5. All aspects of the structure shall be removed and the site returned to pre-project
conditions at the termination of the repair project.
6. There will be no work within productive shellfish beds.
7. The proposed project will not involve the disturbance of marsh, submerged aquatic
