Attn: Lisa Anglin
700 Sunset Boulevard N.
Sunset Beach, NC 28468
Dear Ms. Anglin:
Reference your application for a Department of the Army permit to renew maintenance
dredging within Mary's and Turtle Creek and to add a new primary offload site adjacent to
Mary's Creek. The site is located near the southern terminus of Sunset Boulevard N., adjacent to
the AIWW, in the Town of Sunset Beach, Brunswick County, North Carolina.
The total area to be dredged within the two (2) creeks will be 2.0 acres. The authorized
dredging depths within the two (2) creeks will be -5.0 feet at MLW (+ 1.0 ft. overdepth
allowance) in the lower portions of these streams and -3.0 feet at MLW (+1.0 ft. overdepth
allowance) in the upper portions of these streams, with a transition zone between the depths in
the middle portions of these streams (see Dredge Plan Drawing, Sheet C-101). The project area
will be dredged by the "bucket to barge" method, generating approximately 17,823 cubic yards
of spoil material which will then be trucked to an approved landfill site along Old Georgetown
Road in Supply, Brunswick County, North Carolina.
Additionally, a temporary gabion basket structure measuring 6 feet by 15 feet will be
installed in Mary's Creek at the new offloading site. This structure must be removed when all
dredging is completed.
Your proposal has been reviewed and found to be consistent with the provisions and
objectives of the CAMA-Corps Programmatic Permit process, via Regional General Permit 291
(copy attached), for construction activities that receive authorization from the State of North
Carolina. Therefore, you may commence construction activity in strict accordance with the
applicable State authorization, attached Federal special conditions, RGP-291 conditions and the
approved plan. Failure to comply with the State authorization or conditions of the Federal permit
could result in civil and/or administrative penalties. This authorization expires December 31,
2026.
If any change in your work is required because of unforeseen or altered conditions or for
any other reason, plans revised to show the change must be sent promptly to this office and the

-2-
North Carolina Division of Coastal Management prior to performing any such change or
alteration. Such action is necessary as revised plans must be reviewed and the authorization
modified.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Greg Currey, Wilmington Field Office,
Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone] or email [e-mail].
Sincerely,

Special Conditions
1. All work authorized by this permit must be performed in strict compliance with the submitted
plans, revised drawings dated July 14 and October 9, 2023, which are a part of this permit. Any
modification to these plans must be approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
prior to implementation.
2. Except as authorized by this permit or any USACE approved modification to this permit, no
dredge, fill, or mechanized land -clearing activities shall take place at any time in the construction
or maintenance of this project within waters outside the designated permitted boundary. This
permit does not authorize temporary placement or double handling of excavated or fill material
within waters outside the permitted area.
3. Work in wetlands is prohibited during the dredging, material disposal, or any other aspects of
work associated with this project. All dredged material must be deposited on high ground.
4. All mechanized equipment will be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of waters and wetlands from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic
materials. In the event of a spill of petroleum products or any other hazardous waste, the
permittee shall immediately report it to the N.C. Division of Water Resources at [phone],
Ext. 526 or [phone] and provisions of the North Carolina Oil Pollution and Hazardous
Substances Control Act will be followed.
5. The permittee shall require its contractors and/or agents to comply with the terms and
conditions of this permit in the construction and maintenance of this project, and shall provide
each of its contractors and/or agents associated with the construction or maintenance of this
project with a copy of this permit. A copy of this permit, including all conditions, shall be
available at the project site during construction and maintenance of this project.
6. The permittee shall employ all sedimentation and erosion control measures necessary to
prevent an increase in sedimentation or turbidity within waters and wetlands outside the permit
area. This shall include, but is not limited to, the immediate installation of silt fencing or similar
appropriate devices around all areas subject to soil disturbance or the movement of earthen fill,
and the immediate stabilization of all disturbed areas. Additionally, the project must remain in
full compliance with all aspects of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973.
7. The activity must be conducted in such a manner as to prevent a significant increase in
turbidity outside the area of construction or construction -related discharge. Increases such that
the turbidity in the waterbody is 50 NTU's or less in all rivers not designated as trout waters by
the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM), 25 NTU's or less in all
saltwater classes and in all lakes and reservoirs, and 10 NTU's or less in trout waters, are not
considered significant.

-4-
8. In order to protect anadromous fish, no excavation or filling activities will be permitted
between the dates of April 1 and September 30 (work window October 1 to March 31), of any
year without the prior approval of the Corps of Engineers.
9. In order to avoid and further minimize impacts to coastal marsh, a 10-ft buffer must be
maintained between the dredge area and any coastal marsh.
10. The gabion baskets to be installed in Mary's Creek at the offloading site must be removed
within sixty (60) days of completion of the dredging project.
11. In order to further protect the endangered West Indian Manatee, Trichechus manatus, the

General Permit No. 198000291
Name of Permittee: General Public
Effective Date: January 01, 2022
Expiration Date: December 31, 2026
DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY
REGIONAL GENERAL PERMIT (RGP)
A RGP to do work in or affecting navigable waters of the U.S. and waters of the U.S., upon
recommendation of the Chief of Engineers, pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act
of March 3, 1899 (U.S.C. 403), and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344), is
hereby issued by authority of the Secretary of the Army by
District Engineer
U.S. Army Engineer District, Wilmington
Corps of Engineers
69 Darlington Avenue
Wilmington, North Carolina 28403-1343
TO AUTHORIZE THOSE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES IN THE 20 COASTAL
COUNTIES RECEIVING PRIOR APPROVAL FROM THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA
IN THE FORM OF A COASTAL AREA MANAGEMENT ACT (CAMA) PERMIT, AND/OR
A STATE DREDGE AND FILL PERMIT, AND IF REQUIRED, A WATER QUALITY
CERTIFICATION, THAT ARE OTHERWISE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR FEDERAL
AUTHORIZATION IN THE FORM OF A NATIONWIDE PERMIT OR ANOTHER RGP.
Operatinst Procedures
a. Applications for joint state and federal authorization under this programmatic RGP will
be accepted through the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM). Receipt of
a complete application by the NCDCM will initiate the State's field review that will include a site
visit and preparation of a Field Investigation Report and a state Bio-Report. The NCDCM will
forward a copy of the complete application, its Field Investigation Report, and its Bio-Report, to
the appropriate Corps of Engineers field office, thereby initiating federal review of the project.
The Corps, upon receipt of an application, will immediately assign an action identification
number, acknowledge receipt thereof, and examine the application to assure that it can be
processed pursuant to this programmatic RGP. The applicant and the NCDCM will be furnished
written notification of the Corps' determination. Notification to the applicant will include a brief
description of the administrative process.

b. For those proposals that may result in a discharge into waters of the U.S., including
wetlands, the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) and the applicant will be
informed regarding the applicant's need to obtain a Water Quality Certification in accordance
with section 401 of the Clean Water Act.
c. If, at any time, the Corps determines that a proposed activity is eligible for
authorization under another regional RGP or a nationwide permit (NWP), this procedure may be
terminated and the activity authorized pursuant to the terms and conditions of the appropriate
RGP or NWP.
d. The permit review process conducted by the NCDCM is a public process involving
publication of public notices in local newspapers, public hearings, and various public appeal
procedures. The Corps may issue a separate public notice for a specific proposal if it is deemed
necessary for compliance with appropriate laws, regulation, and guidance.
e. This RGP does not, in any way, alter established procedures or responsibilities, as
required by federal laws, memoranda of agreements (MOA's) or administrative regulations, with
respect to the Corps' coordination with appropriate review agencies. The applicant will continue
to have the opportunity to rebut any objections to a proposal.
f. The Corps will provide copies of the application and plans, the NCDCM's Field
Investigation Report, and the state Bio-Report, to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS),
the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), and any other federal agency that the Corps determines to be a necessary review agency
(collectively, the "Federal Agencies"). Receipt of this material will initiate the Federal Agencies'
review. The Federal Agencies will be allowed sufficient time, normally thirty (30) days, to
provide the Corps with their comments and recommendations, including any proposed permit
special conditions and recommendations of denial. The Corps may grant extensions of time for
Federal Agency review if justified by unusual circumstances. If an extension is granted that
would substantially delay an NCDCM decision, the application may be removed from this RGP
process.
g. The Corps will receive and review all Federal Agency comments as well as any
applicant rebuttal. Provided all Federal Agencies and the Corps are in agreement, the Corps will
prepare a coordinated federal position incorporating all Federal Agency comments, including
proposed permit special conditions and any recommendations for denial. The Corps will
typically furnish this coordinated federal position to the NCDCM within 45 days of its receipt of
the complete application, and copies of the Field Investigation Report and Bio-Report.
h. If the Corps does not concur with a Federal Agency's comments or recommendations,
the Corps will contact the Federal Agency and advise it of the Corps' position. Attempts to
resolve the issue may include initiating the referral procedures outlined by current memoranda of
agreement (MOA's) between the Department of the Army and the agency. No coordinated
federal position will be furnished to the NCDCM until and unless the Corps receives written
agreement from the Federal Agency that all issues have been resolved to the satisfaction of that
agency.

i. If any of the recommendations and/or conditions included in the coordinated federal
position are unacceptable to the NCDCM, the NCDCM will contact the Corps within ten (10)
days of receipt of the coordinated federal position and attempt to resolve the conflict. If
resolution of the conflict involves changes to the conditions or recommendations provided by the
Federal Agencies, the provisions of paragraphs g. and h. (above) will apply. If the conflict is
resolved to the satisfaction of the Corps and any affected Federal Agency, the NCDCM permit
will be issued and the authority of this RGP will apply.
j. If a Federal Agency conflict is not resolved within the time necessary for a decision by
the NCDCM, the NCDCM may proceed, independently, to conclude the state action without
inclusion of the federal position. In such case, the applicant and the NCDCM will be notified
immediately, in writing, that the state permit does not satisfy the federal permit requirements and
that the proposal in question may not proceed without federal authorization.
k. If the coordinated federal position is not in conflict with state agencies' positions, law,
regulation, or policy, and is acceptable to the NCDCM, a state permit will be developed by the
NCDCM fully incorporating the state and federal positions. The NCDCM will furnish copies of
the final permit to the applicant and the Corps. The NCDWR will furnish a copy of the Section
401 Water Quality Certification, if required, to the applicant and the Corps. The Corps will not
confirm the authorization of a proposed project under this RGP until the issuance of the NCDCM
permit and, if required, the Section 401 Water Quality Certification.
1. If the NCDCM permit or Section 401 Water Quality Certification is denied, the
applicant will be informed that federal authorization is denied without prejudice.
in. No work may proceed under this RGP until the Wilmington District Engineer or his
representative provides written verification that the procedures and conditions of the RGP have
been satisfied.
n. The NCDCM and the Corps will monitor all permitted work and periodically inspect
projects for compliance with permit conditions and applicable state and federal regulations. If
any violation of the NCDCM permit is discovered which would also constitute a violation of the
federal position, both the NCDCM and the Corps, in accordance with their respective regulations
and policies, may take enforcement action.
o. This RGP will not be used to authorize an activity when the Wilmington District
Engineer determines that the proposed activity would significantly affect the quality of the
human environment and therefore require preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS).
General Conditions
a. Authorized structures located on or adjacent to Federally authorized waterways will be
constructed in accordance with the latest setback criteria established by the Wilmington District
Engineer. You may review the setback policy at

http://www.saw.usace.arM.mil/Missions/Navigation/Setbacks.awx. This RGP does not
authorize the construction of hardened or permanently fixed structures within the Federally
Authorized Channel Setback, unless the activity is approved by the Corps. The Permittee must
obtain approval from the Corps prior to the construction of any structures within the Federally
Authorized Channel Setback.
b. Except as authorized by this RGP or any Corps approved modification to this RGP, no
excavation, fill or mechanized land -clearing activities shall take place, at any time in the
construction or maintenance of this project, within waters or wetlands. This permit does not
authorize temporary placement or double handling of excavated or fill material within waters or
wetlands outside the permitted area. This prohibition applies to all borrow and fill activities
connected with this project.
c. Authorization under this RGP does not obviate the need to obtain other federal, state,
or local authorizations.
d. All work authorized by this RGP must comply with the terms and conditions of the
applicable Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification for this RGP issued by the
North Carolina Division of Water Resources.
e. The Permittee shall employ all sedimentation and erosion control measures necessary
to prevent an increase in sedimentation or turbidity within waters and wetlands outside the
permit area. This shall include, but is not limited to, the immediate installation of silt fencing or
similar appropriate devices around all areas subject to soil disturbance or the movement of
earthen fill, and the immediate stabilization of all disturbed areas. Additionally, the project must
remain in full compliance with all aspects of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973
(North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 113A Article 4).
f. The activities authorized by this RGP must not interfere with the public's right to free
navigation on all navigable waters of the U.S. No attempt will be made by the Permittee to
prevent the full and free use by the public of all navigable waters at or adjacent to the authorized
work for a reason other than safety.
g. The Permittee understands and agrees that, if future operations by the United States
require the removal, relocation, or other alteration, of the structure or work herein authorized, or if,
in the opinion of the Secretary of the Army or his/her authorized representative, said structure or
work shall cause unreasonable obstruction to the free navigation of the navigable waters, the
Permittee will be required, upon due notice from the Corps , to remove, relocate, or alter the
structural work or obstructions caused thereby, without expense to the United States. No claim
shall be made against the United States on account of any such removal or alteration.
h. The Permittee, upon receipt of a notice of revocation of the permit for the verified
individual activity, may apply for an individual permit, or will, without expense to the United
States and in such time and manner as the Secretary of the Army or his/her authorized
representative may direct, restore the affected water of the US to its former conditions.

i. This RGP does not authorize any activity that would conflict with a federal project's
congressionally authorized purposes, established limitations or restrictions, or limit an agency's
ability to conduct necessary operation and maintenance functions. Per Section 14 of the Rivers
and Harbors Act of 1899, as amended (33 U.S.C. 408), no project that has the potential to take
possession of or make use of for any purpose, or build upon, alter, deface, destroy, move, injure,
or obstruct a federally constructed work or project, including, but not limited to, levees, dams,
jetties, navigation channels, borrow areas, dredged material disposal sites, flood control projects,
etc., shall be permitted unless the project has been reviewed and approved by the appropriate
Corps approval authority.
j. The Permittee shall obtain a Consent to Cross Government Easement from the
Wilmington District's Land Use Coordinator prior to any crossing of the Corps easement and/or
prior to commencing construction of any structures, authorized dredging, or other work within
the right-of-way of, or in proximity to, a federally designated disposal area. The Land Use
Coordinator may be contacted at: CESAW-OP-N, 69 Darlington Avenue, Wilmington, North
Carolina 28403-1343, email: SAWWeb-NAVgusace.army.mil.
k. The Permittee will allow the Wilmington District Engineer or his/her representative to
inspect the authorized activity at any time deemed necessary to assure that the activity is being
performed or maintained in strict accordance with the Special and General Conditions of this
permit.
1. This RGP does not grant any property rights or exclusive privileges.
in. This RGP does not authorize any injury to the property or rights of others.
n. This RGP does not authorize the interference with any existing or proposed federal
project.
o. In issuing this RGP, the Federal Government does not assume any liability for the
following:
(1) Damages to the permitted project or uses thereof as a result of other permitted or
unpermitted activities or from natural causes.
(2) Damages to the permitted project or uses thereof as a result of current or future
activities undertaken by or on behalf of the United States in the public interest.
(3) Damages to persons, property, or to other permitted or unpermitted activities or
structures caused by the activity authorized by this RGP.
(4) Design or construction deficiencies associated with the permitted work.
(5) Damage claims associated with any future modification, suspension, or
revocation of this RGP.

p. Authorization provided by this RGP may be modified, suspended, or revoked in whole
or in part if the Wilmington District Engineer, acting for the Secretary of the Army, determines
that such action would be in the best public interest. The term of this RGP shall be five (5) years
unless subject to modification, suspension, or revocation. Any modification, suspension or
revocation of this authorization will not be the basis for any claim for damages against the
United States Government.
q. No activity may occur in a component of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System,
or in a river officially designated by Congress as a "study river" for possible inclusion in the
system while the river is in an official study status, unless the appropriate Federal agency with
direct management responsibility for such river, has determined in writing that the proposed
activity will not adversely affect the Wild and Scenic designation or study status. Information on
Wild and Scenic Rivers may be obtained from the appropriate Federal land management agency
responsible for the designated Wild and Scenic River or "study river" (e.g., National Park
Service, U.S. Forest Service, etc.)
r. This RGP does not authorize any activity within, or directly affecting, a marine
sanctuary established by the Secretary of Commerce under authority of Section 302 of the
Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act of 1972, unless the applicant provides the
Corps with a certification from the Secretary of Commerce that the proposed activity is
consistent with the purposes of Title III of the Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act.
Information on marine sanctuaries may be obtained at http://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/#MN.
Permittees may not begin work until they provide the Corps with a written certification from the
Department of Commerce.
s. In cases where the Wilmington District Engineer determines that the activity may
affect properties listed, or eligible for listing, in the National Register of Historic Places and its
codified regulations, the National Historic Preservation Amendment Acts of 1980 and 1992, the
Abandoned Shipwreck Act of 1987 and the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation
Act, the activity is not authorized, until the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act (NHPA) have been satisfied. Permittees may not begin work until notified by
the Corps that the requirements of the NHPA have been satisfied and that the activity is
authorized.
t. If you discover any previously unknown historic, cultural, or archeological remains
and artifacts while accomplishing the activity authorized by this RGP, you must immediately
notify the Wilmington District Engineer of what you have found, and to the maximum extent
practicable, avoid construction activities that may affect the remains and artifacts until the
required coordination has been completed. The Wilmington District Engineer will initiate the
Federal, tribal, and state coordination required to determine if the items or remains warrant a
recovery effort or if the site is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.
u. Endangered Species.
(1) No activity is authorized under this RGP which is likely to jeopardize the continued existence
of a threatened or endangered species directly or indirectly or a species proposed for such

designation, as identified under the Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA), or which will
directly or indirectly destroy or adversely modify the critical habitat of such species. No activity
is authorized under this RGP which "may affect" a listed species or critical habitat, unless
Section 7 consultation addressing the effects of the proposed activity has been completed.
(2) Federal agencies should follow their own procedures for complying with the requirements of
the ESA. Federal prospective Permittees (and when FHWA is the lead federal agency) must
provide the District Engineer with the appropriate documentation to demonstrate compliance
with those requirements. The District Engineer will review the documentation and determine
whether it is sufficient to address ESA compliance for the RGP activity, or whether additional
ESA consultation is necessary.
(3) As a result of formal or informal consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) or NMFS, the District Engineer may add species -specific endangered species
conditions to the RGP verification letter for a project.
(4) Authorization of an activity by a RGP does not authorize the "take" of a threatened or
endangered species as defined under the ESA. In the absence of separate authorization (e.g., an
ESA Section 10 Permit, a Biological Opinion with "incidental take" provisions, etc.) from the
USFWS or the NMFS, the ESA prohibits any person subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. to
take a listed species, where "take" means to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap,
capture, or collect, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct. The word "harm" in the
definition of "take" means an act which actually kills or injures wildlife. Such an act may include
significant habitat modification or degradation where it actually kills or injures wildlife by
significantly impairing essential behavioral patterns, including breeding, feeding, or sheltering.
(5) Information on the location of threatened and endangered species and their critical habitat can
be obtained directly from the USFWS in Raleigh, North Carolina at the address provided below,
or from the USFWS and NMFS via their world wide web pages at http://www.fws.gov/
or http://www.fws.g_ov/ipac and http://www.noaa.gov/fisheries.html respectively.

(6) The Wilmington District, USFWS, NCDOT, and the FHWA have conducted programmatic
Section 7(a)(2) consultation for a number of federally listed species and habitat, and
programmatic consultation concerning other federally listed species and/or habitat may occur in
the future. The result of completed programmatic consultation is a Programmatic Biological
Opinion (PBO) issued by the USFWS. These PBOs contain mandatory terms and conditions to
implement the reasonable and prudent measures that are associated with "incidental take" of

whichever species or critical habitat is covered by a specific PBO. Authorization under this RGP
is conditional upon the Permittee's compliance with all the mandatory terms and conditions
associated with incidental take of the applicable PBO (or PBOs), which are incorporated by
reference in this RGP. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions associated with incidental
take of an applicable PBO, where a take of the federally listed species occurs, would constitute
an unauthorized take by the Permittee, and would also constitute Permittee non-compliance with
the authorization under this RGP. If the terms and conditions of a specific PBO (or PBOs) apply
to a project, the Corps will include this/these requirements in any RGP verification that may be
issued for a project. The USFWS is the appropriate authority to determine compliance with the
terms and conditions of its PBO, and with the ESA.
(7) Northern long-eared bat (NLEB) (Myotis septentrionalis). Standard Local Operating
Procedures for Endangered Species (SLOPES) for the NLEB have been approved by the Corps
and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. See
http://www.saw.usace.ariny.mil/Missions/Re ug latory-Permit-Pro rg am/A ency-
Coordination/ESA/. This SLOPES details how the Corps will make determinations of effect to
the NLEB when the Corps is the lead federal agency for an NCDOT project that is located in the
western 41 counties of North Carolina. This SLOPES do not address NCDOT projects (either
federal or state funded) in the eastern 59 counties in North Carolina. Note that if another federal
agency is the lead federal agency for a project in the western 41 counties, procedures for
satisfying the requirements of Section 7(a)(2) of the ESA will be dictated by that agency and will
not be applicable for consideration under the SLOPES; however, information that demonstrates
the lead federal agency's (if other than the Corps) compliance with Section 7(a)(2) / 4(d) Rule
for the NLEB, will be required in the PCN. Note that at the time of issuance of this RGP, the
federal listing status of the NLEB as "Threatened" is being litigated at the National level. If, as a
result of litigation, the NLEB is federally listed as "Endangered", this general condition ("s")
will no longer be applicable because the 4(d) Rule, and this NLEB SLOPES, will no longer
apply/be valid.
(8) In order to further protect the endangered West Indian Manatee, Trichechus manatus, the
applicant must implement the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Manatee Guidelines, and strictly
adhere to all requirements therein. The guidelines can be found at
https://www.fws.gov/raleigh/pdfs/1\4anateeGuidelines20l7.pdf
(9) If the Permittee discovers or observes any live, damaged, injured, or dead individual of an
endangered or threatened species during construction, the Permittee shall immediately notify the
Wilmington District Engineer so that required coordination can be initiated with the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service and/or National Marine Fisheries Service.
v. Permittees are advised that development activities in or near a floodway may be
subject to the National Flood Insurance Program that prohibits any development, including fill,
within a floodway that results in any increase in base flood elevations. This RGP does not
authorize any activity prohibited by the National Flood Insurance Program.
w. The Permittee must install and maintain, at his/her expense, any signal lights and
signals prescribed by the U.S. Coast Guard, through regulations or otherwise, on authorized

facilities. For further information, the Permittee should contact Coast Guard Sector North
Carolina at [phone] or email Coast Guard Fifth District at cgd5waterways&uscg.mil.
x. If the display of lights and signals on the authorized structure is not otherwise
provided for by law, such lights and signals as may be prescribed by the U.S. Coast Guard will
be installed and maintained by and at the expense of the Permittee.
y. It is possible that an authorized structure may be damaged by wave wash from
passing vessels. The issuance of this RGP does not relieve the Permittee from taking all proper
steps to ensure the integrity of the permitted structure and the safety of moored boats. The
Permittee will not hold the United States liable for any such damage.
z. Structures and their attendant utilities, authorized by this RGP, located on lands subject
to an easement in favor of the United States for the operation, maintenance, improvement, and
enlargement of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW), will be removed at the expense of
the Permittee, in the event that, in the judgment of the Corps acting on behalf of the United
States, the lands are needed at any time for any purpose within the scope of the easement.
Permanent buildings will not be constructed within the easement.
aa. The Permittee must maintain any structure or work authorized by this RGP in good
condition and in conformance with the terms and conditions of this RGP. The Permittee is not
relieved of this requirement if the Permittee abandons the structure or work. Transfer in fee
simple of the work authorized by this RGP will automatically transfer this RGP to the property's
new owner, with all of the rights and responsibilities enumerated herein. The Permittee must
inform any subsequent owner of all activities undertaken under the authority of this RGP and
provide the subsequent owner with a copy of the terms and conditions of this RGP.
bb. At his/her sole discretion, any time during the processing cycle, the Wilmington
District Engineer may determine that this RGP will not be applicable to a specific proposal. In
such case, the procedures for processing an individual permit in accordance with 33 CFR 325
will be available.
cc. Except as authorized by this RGP or any Corps approved modification to this RGP,
all fill material placed in waters or wetlands shall be generated from an upland source and will be
clean and free of any pollutants except in trace quantities.
dd Except as authorized by this RGP or any Corps approved modification to this RGP,
all excavated material will be disposed of in approved upland disposal areas.
ee. Activities which have commenced (i.e., are under construction) or are under contract
to commence in reliance upon this RGP will remain authorized provided the activity is
completed within twelve months of the date of the RGP's expiration, modification, or revocation.
Activities completed under the authorization of this RGP that were in effect at the time the
activity was completed continue to be authorized by the RGP.

GUIDELINES FOR AVOIDING IMPACTS TO THE WEST INDIAN MANATEE
Precautionary Measures for Construction Activities in North Carolina Waters
The West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus), also known as the Florida manatee, is a Federally -listed
endangered aquatic mammal protected under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.) and the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as amended (16 U.S.0 1461 et seq.). The
manatee is also listed as endangered under the North Carolina Endangered Species Act of 1987 (Article
25 of Chapter 113 of the General Statutes). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is the lead
Federal agency responsible for the protection and recovery of the West Indian manatee under the
provisions of the Endangered Species Act.
Adult manatees average 10 feet long and weigh about 2,200 pounds, although some individuals have been
recorded at lengths greater than 13 feet and weighing as much as 3,500 pounds. Manatees are commonly
found in fresh, brackish, or marine water habitats, including shallow coastal bays, lagoons, estuaries, and
inland rivers of varying salinity extremes. Manatees spend much of their time underwater or partly
submerged, making them difficult to detect even in shallow water. While the manatee's principal
stronghold in the United States is Florida, the species is considered a seasonal inhabitant of North
Carolina with most occurrences reported from June through October.
To protect manatees in North Carolina, the Service's Raleigh Field Office has prepared precautionary
measures for general construction activities in waters used by the species. Implementation of these
measures will allow in -water projects which do not require blasting to proceed without adverse impacts to
manatees. In addition, inclusion of these guidelines as conservation measures in a Biological Assessment
or Biological Evaluation, or as part of the determination of impacts on the manatee in an environmental
document prepared pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act, will expedite the Service's review
of the document for the fulfillment of requirements under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act.
These measures include:
1 The project manager and/or contractor will inform all personnel associated with the project that
manatees may be present in the project area, and the need to avoid any harm to these endangered
mammals. The project manager will ensure that all construction personnel know the general appearance
of the species and their habit of moving about completely or partially submerged in shallow water. All
construction personnel will be informed that they are responsible for observing water -related activities for
the presence of manatees.
2. The project manager and/or the contractor will advise all construction personnel that there are civil and
criminal penalties for harming, harassing, or killing manatees which are protected under the Marine
Mammal Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act.

3. If a manatee is seen within 100 yards of the active construction and/or dredging operation or vessel
movement, all appropriate precautions will be implemented to ensure protection of the manatee. These
precautions will include the immediate shutdown of moving equipment if a manatee comes within 50 feet
of the operational area of the equipment. Activities will not resume until the manatee has departed the
project area on its own volition (i.e., it may not be herded or harassed from the area).
4. Any collision with and/or injury to a manatee will be reported immediately. The report must be made
to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (ph. 919-856-4520), the National Marine Fisheries Service (ph. 252-
728-8762), and the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (ph. 252-448-1546).
5. A sign will be posted in all vessels associated with the project where it is clearly visible to the vessel
operator. The sign should state:
CAUTION: The endangered manatee may occur in these waters during the warmer months,
primarily from June through October. Idle speed is required if operating this vessel in shallow
water during these months. All equipment must be shut down if a manatee comes within 50 feet
of the vessel or operating equipment. A collision with and/or injury to the manatee must be
reported immediately to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (919-856-4520), the National Marine
Fisheries Service (252-728-8762), and the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (252-
448-1546).
6. The contractor will maintain a log detailing sightings, collisions, and/or injuries to manatees during
project activities. Upon completion of the action, the project manager will prepare a report which
summarizes all information on manatees encountered and submit the report to the Service's Raleigh Field
Office.
7. All vessels associated with the construction project will operate at "no wake/idle" speeds at all times
while in water where the draft of the vessel provides less than a four foot clearance from the bottom. All
vessels will follow routes of deep water whenever possible.
8. If siltation barriers must be placed in shallow water, these barriers will be: (a) made of material in
which manatees cannot become entangled; (b) secured in a manner that they cannot break free and
entangle manatees; and, (c) regularly monitored to ensure that manatees have not become entangled.
Barriers will be placed in a manner to allow manatees entry to or exit from essential habitat.

This Water Quality Certification shall expire on the same day as the expiration date of the corresponding
Section 404 Permit. The conditions shall remain in effect for the life of the project, regardless of the
expiration date of this Water Quality Certification.
Non-compliance with or violation of the conditions herein set forth may result in revocation of this
Water Quality Certification for the project and may also result in criminal and/or civil penalties.
If you are unable to comply with any of the conditions of this Water Quality Certification you must notify
the Wilmington Regional Office within 24 hours (or the next business day if a weekend or holiday) from
the time the permittee becomes aware of the circumstances.
The permittee shall report to the Wilmington Regional Office any noncompliance with, and/or any
violation of, stream or wetland standards [15A NCAC 02B .0200] including but not limited to sediment
impacts to streams or wetlands. Information shall be provided orally within 24 hours (or the next
business day if a weekend or holiday) from the time the permittee became aware of the non-compliance
circumstances.
This approval and its conditions are final and binding unless contested [G.S. 143-215.5]. Please be aware
that impacting waters without first applying for and securing the issuance of a 401 Water Quality
Certification violates Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 2H .0500. Title 15A
NCAC 2H .0500 requires certifications pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act whenever
construction or operation of facilities will result in a discharge into navigable waters, including wetlands,
as described in 33 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 323. It also states any person desiring

avoided and minimized impacts to waters, would cause or contribute to a violation of standards or
would result in secondary or cumulative impacts.
Due to the possibility that compaction, sloughing and/or other site alterations within the
designated PNA waters may occur based on construction methodology resulting in impacts
outside the authorized dredge alignment within the previously permitted dredge limits the
applicant is cautioned to take all necessary measures to ensure that these impacts do not occur.
The permittee shall provide weekly updates consisting of photographs, a brief report and survey
data verifying the on -going progress of the project. Upon submission of this update to the
NCDWR, the permittee shall schedule an agency post -construction field meeting with the NCDWR
to determine if the any unintended impacts have occurred outside of the authorized dredge
alignment within the previously permitted dredge limits. If it is determined the waters and/or
wetland areas impacted have not maintained jurisdictional status, the NCDWR shall determine if
compensatory mitigation and/or restoration is to be required.
Citation: 15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(2) and (b)(3)
Justification: Surface water quality standards require that conditions of waters be suitable for all
best uses provided for in state rule (including, at minimum: aquatic life propagation, survival, and
maintenance of biological integrity; wildlife; secondary contact recreation; agriculture); and that
activities must not cause water pollution that precludes any best use on a short-term or long-term
basis.
3. Please note that the area surrounding the project site contains shellfish resources and coastal
wetlands. A 10-foot buffer shall be maintained from coastal wetlands and shellfish resources to
prevent impacts. An approved shellfish relocation plan must be implemented to avoid impacts to
shellfish resources.

Justification: A project that affects waters shall not be permitted unless the existing uses, and the
water quality to protect such uses, are protected. Surface water quality standards require that
conditions of waters be suitable for all best uses provided for in state rule and that activities must
not cause water pollution that precludes any best use on a short-term or long-term basis. In
determining that the proposed activity will comply with state water quality standards (including
designated uses, numeric criteria, narrative criteria and the state's antidegradation policy), the
Division must evaluate if the activity has avoided and minimized impacts to waters, would cause or
contribute to a violation of standards or would result in secondary or cumulative impacts.
4. All dredge and/or fill material shall be placed on high ground and excavation shall not occur in
Primary Nursery Areas outside of the authorized dredge template of the canal systems. Please
understand that the waters around your project area have been identified as a Nursery Area and
requests to dredge within these areas must be consistent with 15A NCAC 02B .0220 and 15A NCAC
02B .0224 which requires that conditions of waters be suitable for all best uses provided for in

Justification: Surface water quality standards require that conditions of waters be suitable for all
best uses provided for in state rule (including, at minimum: aquatic life propagation, survival, and
maintenance of biological integrity; wildlife; secondary contact recreation; agriculture); and that
activities must not cause water pollution that precludes any best use on a short-term or long-term
basis.
Canals or boat basins shall not be dredged beyond their original depth and width. The area shall
not be dredged to a depth deeper than the receiving water. In this case the waters within the
Turtle Creek canal are authorized to a maximum depth of -3 feet Mean Low Water (plus -1 foot
over dredge) at the northern most extent of the canal to a connecting water depth of -5 feet Mean
Low Water (plus -1 foot over dredge) at the confluence of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and
the waters of Mary's Creek are authorized to a maximum depth of -3 feet Mean Low Water (plus -
1 foot over dredge) at the northern most extent of the canal to a connecting water depth of -5
feet Mean Low Water (plus -1 foot over dredge allowance) at the confluence of the Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway.

maintenance of biological integrity; wildlife; secondary contact recreation; agriculture); and that
activities must not cause water pollution that precludes any best use on a short-term or long-term
basis.
6. The effluent water from the dredge spoil should not (if at all practicable) be released into open
shellfish waters. The release of the effluent of dredge spoil from a closed shellfish area into open
shellfish water will cause a (temporary) closure of that water which in turn is a degradation of
waters and a violation of tidal saltwater quality standards for Class SA Waters. Shellfish Sanitation
(252.726.6827) and the Division of Water Resources (910.796.7215) must be notified if this is to
occur.
Citation: 15A NCAC 028.0221
Justification: In order to protect against impairment of water quality standards and best usage of
receiving and downstream waters, water quality based management practices must be employed
to protect against direct or indirect discharge of waste or other sources of water pollution. Surface
water quality standards require that conditions of waters be suitable for all best uses provided for
in state rule (including, at minimum: aquatic life propagation, survival, and maintenance of
biological integrity, wildlife, secondary contact recreation, agriculture, and shellfishing for
marketing purposes) and that activities must not cause water pollution that precludes any best use
on a short-term or long-term basis.
7. The Permittee shall adhere specifically to 15A NCAC 02B .0221 Tidal Salt Water Quality Standards
for Class SA Waters. (12) pH: shall be normal for waters in the area, which generally shall range
between 6.8 and 8.5 except that swamp waters may have a pH as low as 4.3 if it is the result of

District of the US Army Corps of Engineers), or identified state or federal endangered or
threatened species habitat, shall be coordinated with the appropriate WRC,USFWS, NMFS, and/or
DMF personnel.
Citation: 15A NCAC 02H .0506(b), 15A NCAC 02H .0507(c); 15A NCAC 048.0125
Justification: In order to protect against impairment of water quality standards and best usage of
receiving and downstream waters, water quality based management practices must be employed
to protect against direct or indirect discharge of waste or other sources of water pollution. Surface
water quality standards require that conditions of waters be suitable for all best uses provided for
in state rule (including, at minimum: aquatic life propagation, survival, and maintenance of
biological integrity, wildlife, secondary contact recreation, agriculture), and that activities must not
cause water pollution that precludes any best use on a short-term or long-term basis.
9. The permittee shall report to the DWR Wilmington Regional Office any noncompliance with,
and/or any violation of, stream or wetland standards [15A NCAC 02B .0200], including but not
limited to sediment impacts to streams or wetlands. Information shall be provided orally within
24 hours (or the next business day if a weekend or holiday) from the time the permittee became
aware of the non-compliance circumstances.
Citation: 15A NCAC 02H .0506(b); 15A NCAC 02H .0507(c)
Justification: Timely reporting of non-compliance is important in identifying and minimizing
detrimental impacts to water quality and avoiding impacts due to water pollution that precludes
any best use on a short-term or long-term basis.
10. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands or waters beyond the footprint
of the approved impacts (including temporary impacts).

Justification: Person(s) owning or having control over oil or other substances upon notice of
discharge must immediately notify the Department, or any of its agents or employees, of the
nature, location, and time of the discharge and of the measures which are being taken or are
proposed to be taken to contain and remove the discharge. This action is required in order to
contain or divert the substances to prevent entry into the surface waters. Surface water quality
standards require that conditions of waters be suitable for all best uses provided for in state rule
(including, at minimum: aquatic life propagation, survival, and maintenance of biological
integrity, wildlife, secondary contact recreation, agriculture), and that activities must not cause
water pollution that precludes any best use on a short-term or long-term basis.
19. The permittee and their authorized agents shall conduct all activities in a manner consistent
with State water quality standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with
§303(d) of the Clean Water Act), and any other appropriate requirements of State and Federal
Law.
