after set forth. ,
Condition(s) of Certification:
1. That the activity be conducted in such a manner as to prevent signi-
ficant increases in turbidity outside the area of construction or con-
struction-related discharge (increases such that the turbidity in the
stream is 25 NTU's or less are not considered significant).
2. That the effluent spillway outlet.pipe shall be extended to.the mean
low water contour in order to prevent erosion and sedimentation.
3. That adjustable flashboard risers and stilling well be constructed
at the outfall of the diked disposal basin.

9. "t4rrative description
The applicant is an industrial fish processing company which has large
investments in.a plant located adjacent to-Taylors Creek, off Lennox-
ville Road in Beaufort, Carteret County. The property is composed
of several parcels that add up to about 8 acres. The tract is di-
vided by a small creek known as Cowpen Creek which extends inland
from Taylors Creek to the right-of-way of Lennoxville Road.- This
creek separates this industrial plant from a traditional residen-
tial area. Elevations on the property are.3-4' and soils are pre-
dominently sandy.
Cowpen Creek appears to have.been modified prior to 1970. This early
excavation has given.it a straight, perpendicular configuration with
Taylors Creek. It has recovered from this early modification and has.
an extensive intertidal shoal at the mouth. A small oyster rock lies
just inland of this, and fringes of smooth-cordgrass lines the edge.
This marsh fringe is 15-20' wide on the east side of the creek and
3-5' wide on the west. Various small boats utilize this creek as
a harbor.
The applicant is proposing to excavate a channel and basin rectangular
in shape*350' long by 40' wide by 5' deep MLW. The channel is to ex-
tend about 3/4 of the way into Cowpen Creek. The channel and basin
are to service the menhaden fleet purse boats when they are dropped
from the larger vessels in.order to facilitate the larger vessels'
docking. The dredging will be done by hydraulic dredge and spoil de-
posited in an upland spoil site on'the menhaden plant property.
10.-Anticip%ted impacts
Conducting this project as proposed will involve the disturbance. of
1600 sq.ft. of shallow, intertidal area, 12,000 sq.ft. of previously
excavated shallow saltwater bottom, and 400 sq.ft. of an existing
oyster rock. The excavation will involve displacing 2,000 cu.yds.
of material from the creek which is expected to be composed primarily
of silt with small amounts of sand. It is expected that various
fisheries species utilize this area long with some local navigational
interests.

The Federal agencies have completed review of the proposal
as presented by the application and your field investigation
report.
We recommend that the following conditions be included in
the State authorization:
a. All excavated materials will be confined landward of the
r mean high water (MHW) elevation contour within adequate dikes or
other retaining structures to prevent spillover of solids into
any marsh or surrounding waterserest.
b. The terminal end of the pipeline from the dredge into
the diked retention area will be positioned at or greater than 50
feet from any part of the dike and at a maximum distance from
spillways to prevent dike erosion and to allow adequate
settlement of suspended solids.
c. A water control structure will be installed at the
intake end of the effluent pipe leading from the retention area
in order to ensure maximum settlement of suspended solids.

other retaining structures to prevent spillover of solids into
any marsh or surrounding waterserest.
b. The terminal end of the pipeline from the dredge into
the diked retention area will be positioned at or greater than 50

P.
-J -?. -2-
d. Flow from the diked retention area will be confined by
pipe, trough, or similiar device to a point at or below the
elevation of mean low water (MLW) to prevent gully erosion
and resultant unnecessary erosion.
e. No areas supporting live oyster growth will be
excavated. Any oysters located within the area to be excavated
will be relocated under the direct supervision of the North
Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries.
f. A minimum 5-foot buffer of undredged bottom will be left
between any excavated area and any marsh vegetation to prevent
the sloughing of emergent wetlands into excavated areas.
g. No4marsh vegetation will be excavated.
h. Excavation will not exceed 5 feet below the elevation of
mean low water (MLW).

000-0291 (enclosed), which provides Federal authorization for
construction"activities that receive authorization from the State
of North Carolina.
A review of your application received February 25, 1985, for
a Department of the Army permit to excavate a basin area in Cowpen
Creek off Taylors Creek near Beaufort in Carteret County, North
Carolina, indicates it to be a candidate for Federal authorization
under this general permit. Accordingly, the administrative
processing of your application will be accomplished by the North
Carolina Division of Coastal Management. Comments from Federal
review agencies will be furnished to the State.
If your application must be withdrawn from this general
permit process for any reason, you will be written and informed of
its further management. If there are no unresolved differences of
State-Federal positions or policy, the final action taken on your
application by the State will result in your receiving written
notice from-us that your-application has-been successfully

9. Narrative description
T plicant is an industrial fish processing company which has large
investments in a plant located adjacent to Taylors Creek, off Lennox-
ville Road in Beaufort,. Carteret.County. The property is composed
of several parcels that add up to about 8 acres. The tract is di
vded by a small creek known as Cowpen.Creek which extends inland
from Taylors Creek to the right-of-way of Lennoxville Road. This
creek separates this industrial plant from a traditional residen-
tial area. Elevations on the property are 3-4' and soils.are pre-
dominently sandy.
Cowpen Creek appears to have been modified prior to 1970. This early
excavation has.given_it a straight, perpendicular configuration with
Taylors Creek. It has recovered from this.early modification and has'•
an extensive intertidal shoal at the mouth. A small oyster rock lies
just inland of this, and fringes of smooth-cordgrass-lines the edge.
This marsh fringe is 15-20' wide on the east side of the crecY.and
3-51.wide on the west. Various small boats utilize this creek as
a harbor.
The applicant is proposing to excavate a channel and basin.rectangular
in shape,350' long by 40' wide by 5' deep MLW. Thechannel is to ex-
tend about 3/4 of the way.into Cowpen Creek. The channel and basin
are to service the menhaden fleet purse boats when they are dropped
from the larger vessels in order to facilitate the larger vessels
docking. The dredging will be done by hydraulic dredge.and.spoil de-
posited in an upland spoil site on'the menhaden plant property.
10. 'Anticipated impacts
Conducting this project as proposed will involve the disturbance of
1600 sq.ft. of shallow, intertidal area, 12,000 sq.ft., of previously
excavated shallow saltwater bottom, and 400 sq.ft. of an existing.
oyster rock. The excavation will involve displacing 2,000 cu.yds.
of material from the creek which is expected to be composed primarily
of silt with small amounts of sand. It is expected-that various
fisheries species utilize this area long with some local navigational
interests.
