WATER QUALITY SECTION
OPERATIONS BRANCH
Through coordination with Mr. Jim Mercer of the North Carolina
Division of Coastal Management, we have learned of your-plans to
install a wastewater discharge (outfall) line into the Trent River
along the western property line of your property, Trent River
Motel, Craven County, North Carolina.
For the purposes of the Corps of Engineers' Regulatory
Program, Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330,
published in the Federal Register on November 13, 1986, lists
nationwide permits.. Authorization was provided for outfall
structures where the effluent from that outfall has been permitted
under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
program.
For this nationwide permit to be valid, you must comply with
the following conditions:
a. Any discharge of dredged or fill material will not occur
in the proximity of a public water supply.
b. Any discharge of dredged or fill material will not occur
in areas of concentrated shellfish production.
c. The activity will not jeopardize a threatened or
endangered species as identified under the Endangered Species Act,
or destroy or adversely modify the critical habitat of such
species.
d. The activity will not significantly disrupt the movement
of those species of aquatic life indigenous to the waterbody.
-2-
e. Any discharge of dredged or fill material will consist of
suitable material free from toxic pollutants.
f. Any structure or fill will be properly maintained.
g. The following management practices will be followed to the
maximum extent:
(1) Discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of
the United States will be avoided or minimized through the use of
other practical alternatives.
(2) Discharges in spawning areas during spawning seasons
will be avoided.
(3) Discharges will not restrict of impede the movement
of aquatic species indigenous to the waters or the passage of
normal or expected high flows or cause the relocation of the
waters.
(4) If the discharge creates an impoundment of water,
adverse impacts on the aquatic system caused by the accelerated
passage of water and/or the restriction of its flow will be
minimized.
(5) Discharge in wetland areas will be avoided.
(6) Heavy equipment working in wetlands will be placed on
mats.
(7) Discharges into breeding areas for migratory
waterfowl will be avoided.
(8) A11 temporary fills will be removed in their
entirety.
The District Engineer has determined that the individual and
cumulative adverse effects of your work on the environment will be
minimal. Your work is authorized by nationwide permit provided it
is accomplished in strict accordance with the preceding
conditions. Please be aware that this authorization does not
relieve you of the responsibility to obtain the required State
authorization.

SUBJECT: Application for CAMA Permit
Ray McCotter
Craven County
By memo dated December 4, 1985, this Division recommended that the subject
application be held until an adequate stormwater.management plan was submitted.
Mr. John Thomas, engineer for Mr. McCotter, submitted a plan (copy attached)
on January 3, 1986. The proposed plan calls for the retention of a 2-year-
1 hr. intensity (2.0 inches) rainfall event on site. The plan shows all
impervious areas at 100; runoff and all pervious areas at 50% runoff. The
design for the retention basin appears to be reasonable.
After reviewing the stormwater management plan, I have no objections to the
issuance of the CAMA permit.

Referencing your letter dated November 22, 1985 for additional means and methods
of managing stormwater runoff from the proposed Trent river hotel site please find
enclosed pertinent design data, computations, and revised drawings.
As previously outlined in an outfall pipe permit application dated September 5,"i985,
site amenities include a proposed 120 room hotel, with restaurant facilities` for
accommodating up to 250 persons and a lounge.
Future development as revealed on sheet 4 of 10 of the enclosed drawings may well
lend itself to a marina complex with all associated features such as boat launching,
docking and storage as well. as multi-family living units.
Recapitulating your request we have uniquely adapted, a' stormwater, basin . retention
{. area into the, master land use plan. Ahe basin area as requested is of sufficient size to
ter runoff from a hypothetical 2 inch water cover of the, entire
,"accommodate stormwa
project site of approximately 18 t' acres.
As you may well recognize as indicated on sheet 4 of 10 all runoff has theoretically
been assumed to meander into the retention area.
We feel the design is one utilizing sound stormwater management as desirous of a
project of this nature.
All computations and design data follow.
- 1
December 30, 1985
Page 2
Total area of impervious surfaces (includes bldgs., parking lots, roads) 7.8 acres
Total area of pervious surfaces (includes all grassed natural areas) 9.9 acres
The design engineer has chosen to qualify his calculations based on runoff
percentages as follow:
All impervious areas ...............................100% direct runoff
All impervious areas ............................... 50% direct runoff
Based on the above design parameters and an additional design consideration
of designing a basin area capable of accepting runoff from 2 inches of stormwater
hypothetically covering the entire project site the following is true:
100 % of 339,768 s.f, -t:? 100% of 7.8 acres
50 % of 430,808 s.f.4--> 50% of 9.9 acres
Basin Capacity Required
339,768 s.f. + 2.5,404 s.f. = 555,172 s.f.
2 inches of water ground cover implies 0.1667 feet
555,172 s.f. x 0.1667 ft. = 92,529 cubic feet required
Boring logs from the project site reveal the ground water table to be at elevation
1.0 feet A.M.S.L. The area in which the basin will be constructed is at an existing
elevation of 4.0 feet. (All elevations are referenced A.M.S.L.)
Based on the derived data, a basin shall be designed to accommodate 92.530
cubic feet of stormwater with a basin depth of •3.O feet. Should a generally square
`basin be acceptable, one could expect to realize dimension of`-175 feet 'X A75 feet.
However in order to provide an aesthetically pleasing design a basin area of
varying dimensions will be incorporated. To facilitate an irregular shaped area
the invert of the 30" RCP paralleling the eastern edge of the parking lot under the
drive entrance will be used as the basin level control.
A trapezoidal channel with a minimum cross-sectional area of 48 square feet will
be integrated into the basin retention area. This is being done in order to reduce
the size of the main retention area.

December 30, 1985
Page 3
At this time, we would prefer not to amend the NPDES permit. The criteria
used for setting up the design parameters for the permit are still valid in keeping
with the basic "conceptual" plan for the site. As shown on the enclosed drawings,
marina facilities and multifamily units are shown only in concept. The unit count, if
and when constructed may vary slightly from our original estimates or concepts. The
hotel and restaurant facility will not require the full capacity of the permitted
flow and the owner wishes to phase the construction of the waste water treatment
facility as the site development demands. If the marina facilities and the multifamily
complex do become a reality at some point in time, the design and construction of the
same will be in accordance with the rules and regulations of the government agencies
having authority and the proper permits or permit modifications will be applied for.
If you have any further questions or comments, please do not hesitate to call.

SUBJECT: Application for CAMA Permit
Ray E. McCotter
Craven County
The Subject application has been reviewed for water quality impacts
and the following comments are offered:
1. The proposed project will not require a 401 certification.
2. The application does not provide sufficient information on
stormwater runoff aspects of the project to allow a complete
evaluation of the potential effect on adjacent waters. The
application reflects a substantially smaller development than
was originally indicated by applicant when obtaining the NPDES
permit for wastewater disposal at this project. Earlier
indications were that the project would include a marina. Our
regional office has discussed these points with the applicants
engineer and notified the applicant that these concerns must
be adequately addressed so that we may complete our evaluation
of the project.
It is recommended that further action on this permit not take place
until the applicant has satisfactorily addressed these concerns.

Dear Mr. McCotter:
I have reviewed your application submitted to the Division of Coastal
Management on September 23, 1985. I have also discussed the proposed
development with your engineer, Mr. John Thomas.
According to the DF/CAMA application, you propose to develop the property
by constructing a 250 seat restaurant and lounge, a 120 room hotel, and a
40,000 GPD wastewater treatment plant. You will recall that this Division
issued NPDES permit No. N00056545 on February 7, 1984 for the operation
of a 75,000 GPD wastewater treatment plant to serve a 200 unit motel,
200 seat restaurant, 100 condo units, a marina and a swimming pool. It
will be necessary to clarify this discrepancy and possibly amend the NPDES
permit.
Another aspect of your project which needs to be addressed in more detail
is the control of storm water runoff to the Trent River. The waters in the
Trent River are classified "SB" and must be protected for their best usage,
which includes fishing and swimming. In recent years, the Trent River has
experienced algal blooms which are a definite response to nutrient inputs
such as storm water runoff.
You should also indicate any marina facilities that might be constructed
in the future. Marinas can be a source of pollution if they are-not con-
structed and operated in a reasonable manner. Our primary concern in this
regard would be the protection of the fecal coliform standard in the adjacent
waters.
I would be happy to discuss these issues with you or your engineer at a con
venient time. I am recommending to CAMA that your application be placed on
hold until these concerns are adequately addressed. If you have any questions,
please feel free to call me at 919/946-6481.

X
9. Narrative description
The project site is located across the Trent River from downtown
New Bern in James City, just east of the Atlantic & East Caro-
lina Railway trestle in Craven County. In recent years this 15
acre tract of land has been used as a staging and storage area
for rubber tires used in the State's artificial reef program.
The applicant, Ray E. McCotter, plans to develop a 120 room hotel
and restaurant complex on a five-acre section of this land located
just west of the old Hwy. 70 swing bridge leading into New Bern.
The hotel complex will be serviced by a 40,000 gal.per day waste-
water treatment-plant. The outfall pipe from the plant will extend
some 200' into the Trent River.
Except for the alignment of the proposed outfall pipe, no land dis-
turbing activities or development will take place within the CAMA
75' estuarine shoreline AEC. The footprint location of the hotel
and parking lot areas is shown on ?!ork Plat Drawing sheet 5 of 10
to be some 50' landward of the CAMA AEC line.
The proposed outfall pipe, measijring 4" in diameter, will be exca-
vated into place some 36" below existing grade elevation. The pipe-
line will traverse a-15' wide fringe of marsh dominated by salt
reed grass, bullrush, and black needlerush. Elsewhere along the
project shoreline the westlands' fringe increases to 30' wide and
contains other species such as maples, ball cypress, switchgrass,
and water willow. At one point near the middle of the shoreline a
`pocket of swamp vegetation extends 125' into the highground pro-
perty. The applicant has delineated the upper limits of all of
these wetlands by illustrating an alignment of a would-be bulk-
head as staked off by permit representatives in 1982. It is, how-
every, clear that the appl-icant has no plans to either bulkhead or
fill the shoreline.
The applicant provides a topographic map of the project site on
Work Sheet No. 3 of 10. It shows the high ground sloping gently
away from the shoreline to a general elevation of 5-7' above mean
sea level. The project site is well drained by two inter-connected
ditches that flank the east and west sides of the project dimensions.
The applicant's consulting engineer, John Thomas, has advised this
office that there are no immediate plans for developing the remain-
ing highground property or the waterfront areas. It can only be
anticipated that some sort of water related activities, such as a
marina or boat storage facility,wil-l-ultimately, come to this pro-
perty. It is important to note that the surface waters of the Trent
River beginning at the mouth of the river are classified as SB by
DEM.
10. Anticipated impacts
Installation of the proposed 200' long outfall pipe has keyed
the requirement for a CAMA Major Development permit. Excava-
tion will directly displace about 45 sq.ft. of coastal wetlands
vegetation. Once the 4" pipeline has been installed, the ditch
will be backfilled and the marsh can be restored to the align-
ment. In the Trent River the outfall pipe can be "jettied" into.
the bottom, causing the least amount of bottom disturbance to this
underwater area.
It would appear that the applicant has designed the direction of
flow for the stormwater runoff away from the estuarine shoreline.
However, most all of the runoff water from.the project site will
ultimately enter the Trent River through the series of existing
drainage ditches that parallel SR 1004 and Hwy. 70. These ditches
are well vegetated and should absorb and filter low flow levels of
runoff. The operation and discharge of the 40,000 GPD wastewater
treatment plant has been authorized by the DEM. It is noted with
some importance that Township 7, which includes James City, is cur-
rently serviced by a new municipal water and sewer system. The
loading capacity of the Trent River in and near New Bern may be
reduced if the proposed hotel and restaurant complex were to uti-
lize the existing sewer services.
CAMA Review
The LUP for Craven County dated February 1982 classifies the high
-ground property in and about the project site as "transition". The
wetlands that fringe the project shoreline, as well as the surface
waters of the Trent River, are classified as "conservation." It
is the opinion of this office that the proposed hotel project is
not inconsistent with any identifiable policies set forth in the
Craven County LUP.
r
Submitted by 'James L. Piercer Date Oct. 16, 1985
Introduction and Project Description
The proposed hotel project is to be located in Craven County, North Carolina in
Township 41 7, near New Bern, North Carolina. The Trent River bounds the property
on the northern side.
The proposed hotel will have 120 rooms, with a restaurant to seat 250 people, and
a lounge. This structure will be located away from the shoreline so as not to interfere
with the marsh areas and other areas of environmental concern. Adequate parking will
be located adjacent to the structure.
The hotel will be served by a proposed wastewater treatment plant to be located off-site.
The treated discharge from this plant will go into 'the Trent River.
Permit Review
This project is being submitted for permit review and approval to the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers for administration of the federal review, to the North Carolina Department
of Natural Resources and Community Development - Office of Coastal Management for
administration of the state review, and to the North Carolina Department of Natural
Resources and Community Development, Land Quality Section, for administration of
the state review covering erosion and sedimentation control.
Stormwater Management
Stormwater run off direct drainage to the river basin contributes to degradation of
water quality. Recognizing this, stormwater will be diverted away from the stream
system into grassed swales, drainage ditches, and an existing drainage system prior to
introduction into the stream system. This will enhance filtration of sediments from
the runoff so that the water entering the Trent River from the drainage system will
not promote water quality degradation.
Wastewater Treatment Facilities

8. Project summary The applicant. proposes to develop a X20 room hotel with 250 seat restate
rant The facility will be serviced by a40.000 GPD wastewater treatment plant that
will have a 200' long_outfall pipe into the Trent Fiver.
9. Narrative description
The project site is located across the Trent River from downtown
New Bern in James City, just east of the Atlantic & East Caro-
lina Railway.trestle in Craven County. In recent years this 15
acre tract of land has been used as a staging and storage area
for rubber tires used in the State's artificial reef program.
The applicant, Ray E. McCotter, plans to develop a 120 room hotel
and restaurant complex on a five-acre section of this land located
just west of the old Hwy. 70 swing bridge leading into New Bern.
The hotel complex will be serviced by-a 40,000 gal.per day waste-
water treatment plant. The outfall pipe from the plant will extend
some 200' into the Trent River.
Except for the alignment of the proposed outfali pipe, no land dis-
turbing activities or development will take place within the CAMA
75' estuarine shoreline AEC. The footprint location of the hotel.
and parking lot areas is shown on Work Plat Drawing sheet 5 of 10
to be'some 50' landward of the CAMA AEC line.
The proposed outfall pipe, meastiring 4" in diameter, will be exca-
vated into place some 36" below existing grade elevation. The pipe-
line will traverse a 15' wide fringe of marsh dominated by salt
reed.grass, bullrush, and black needlerush. Elsewhere along the
project shoreline the westlands' fringe increases to 30' wide and
contains other species such-as maples, ball cypress, switchgrass,
and water willow. At one point near the middle of the shoreline a
pocket of swamp vegetation extends 125' into the highground pro-
perty. The applicant has delineated the upper limits of all of
these wetlands by illustrating an alignment of a would-be bulk-
head as staked off by permit representatives in 1982. It is, how-
every, clear that the applicant has no plans to either bulkhead or
fill the shoreline.
The applicant provides a topographic map of the project site
Work Sheet No. 3 of 10. It shows the high ground sloping gently
away from the shoreline to a general elevation of 5-7' above mean
sea level. The project site is well drained by two inter-connected
ditches that flank the east and west sides of the project dimensions.
The applicant's consulting engineer, John Thomas, has advised this
office that there are no immediate plans for developing the remain-
ing highground property or the waterfront areas. It can only be
anticipated that some sort of water related activities, such as a
marina or boat storage facility,wil.l-ultimately come to this pro-
perty. It is important to note that the surface waters of the Trent
River beginning at the mouth of the river are classified as SB by
DEM.
r
10. Anti ci pated i'rripacts
Installation of the proposed 200' long outfall pipe has keyed
the requirement for a CAMA Major Development permit. Excava-
tion will directly displace about 45 sq.ft. of coastal wetlands
vegetation. Once the 4" pipeline has been installed, the ditch
will be backfilled and the marsh can be restored to the align-
ment. In the Trent River the outfall pipe can be "jettied" into
the bottom, causing the least amount of bottom disturbance to this
underwater area.
It would appear that the applicant has designed the direction of
flow for the stormwater runoff away from the estuarine shoreline.
However, most all of the runoff water from the project site will
ultimately enter the Trent River through the series of existing
drainage ditches that parallel SR 1004 and Hwy. 70. These ditches
are well vegetated and should absorb and filter low flow levels of
runoff. The operation and discharge of the 40,000 GPD wastewater
treatment plant has been authorized by the DEM. It is noted with
some importance that Township 7, which includes James City, is cur-
rently serviced by a new municipal water and sewer system. The
loading capacity of the Trent River in and near New Bern may be
reduced if the proposed hotel and restaurant complex were to uti-
lize the existing sewer services.
CAMA Review
The LUP for Craven County dated February 1982 classifies the high
ground property in and about the project site as "transition" The
wetlands that fringe the project shoreline., as well as the surface
waters of the Trent River, are classified as "conservation." It
is the opinion of this office that the proposed hotel project is
not inconsistent with any identifiable policies set forth in the
Craven County LUP.
Submitted by 'J'ames 'L.' Mercer Date ' Oct. 'T6,' 1985
Introduction and Project Description -
The proposed hotel project is to be located in Craven County, North Carolina in
Township # 7, near New Bern, North Carolina. The Trent River bounds the property
on the northern side.
The proposed hotel will have 120 rooms, with a restaurant to seat 250 people, and
a lounge. This structure will be located away from the shoreline so as not to interfere
with the marsh areas and other areas of environmental concern. Adequate parking will
be located adjacent to the structure.
The hotel will be served by a proposed wastewater treatment plant to be located off-site.
The treated discharge from this plant will go into the Trent River.
Permit Review
This project is being submitted for permit review and approval to the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers for administration of the federal review, to the North Carolina Department
of Natural Resources and Community Development - Office of Coastal Management for
administration of the state review, and to the North Carolina Department of Natural
Resources and Community Development, Land Quality Section, for administration of
the state review covering erosion and sedimentation control.
Stormwater Management
Stormwater run off direct drainage to the river basin contributes to degradation of
water quality. Recognizing this, stormwater will be diverted away from the stream
system into grassed swales, drainage ditches, and an existing drainage system prior 'to
introduction into the stream system. This will enhance filtration of sediments from
the runoff so that the water entering the Trent River from the drainage system will
not promote water quality degradation.
Wastewater Treatment Facilities
Ray E. McCotter presently holds a NPDES permit for discharge of treated effluent
wastewater into the Trent River.

Referencing your letter dated November 22, 1985 for additional means and methods
of managing stormwater runoff from the proposed Trent river hotel site please find
enclosed pertinent design data, computations, and revised drawings.
As previously outlined in an outfall pipe permit application dated September 5, 1985,
site amenities include a proposed 120 room hotel, with restaurant facilities for
accommodating up to 250 persons and a lounge.
Future development as revealed on sheet 4 of 10 of the enclosed drawings may well
lend itself to a marina complex with all associated features such as boat launching,
docking and storage as well as multi-family living units.
Recapitulating your request we have uniquely adapted a stormwater basin retention
area into the master land use plan. The basin area as requested is of sufficient size to
accommodate stormwater runoff from a hypothetical 2 inch water cover of the entire
project site of approximately 18 f acres.
As you may well recognize as indicated on sheet 4 of 10 all runoff has theoretically
been assumed to meander into the retention area.
We feel the design is one utilizing sound stormwater management as desirous of a
project of this nature.
All computations and design data follow.
11
COPT
December 30, 1985
Page 2
Total area of impervious surfaces (includes bldgs., parking lots, roads) 7.8 acres
Total area of pervious surfaces (includes all grassed natural areas) 9.9 acres
The design engineer has chosen to qualify his calculations based on runoff
percentages as follow:
All impervious areas ...............................100% direct runoff
All impervious areas ............................... 50% direct runoff
Based on the above design parameters and an additional design consideration
of designing a basin area capable of accepting runoff from 2 inches of stormwater
hypothetically covering the entire project site the following is true:
100 % of 339,768 s.f.-= 100% of 7.8 acres
50 % of 430,808 s.f r-> 50% of 9.9 acres
Basin Capacity Required
339,768 s.f. + 2.5,404 s.f. = 555,172 s.f.
2 inches of vyater ground cover implies 0.1667 feet
. ' 555,172 s.f. x 0.1667 ft. = 92,529 cubic feet required
Boring logs from the project site reveal the ground water table to be at elevation
1.0 feet A.M.S.L. The area in which the basin will be constructed is at an existing
elevation of 4.0 feet. (All elevations are referenced A.M.S.L.)
Based on the derived data, a basin shall be designed to accommodate 92.530
cubic feet of stormwater with a basin depth of 3.0 feet. Should a generally square
basin be acceptable, one could expect to realize dimension of 175 feet x 175 feet.
However in order to provide an aesthetically pleasing design a basin area of
varying dimensions will be incorporated. To facilitate an irregular shaped area
the invert of the 30" RCP paralleling the eastern edge of the parking lot under the
drive entrance will be used as the basin level control.
A trapezoidal channel with a minimum cross-sectional area of 48 square feet will
be integrated into the basin retention area. This is being done in order to reduce
the size of the main retention area.

At this time, we would prefer not to amend the NPDES permit. The criteria
used for setting up the design parameters for the permit are still valid in keeping
with the basic "conceptual" plan for the site. As shown on the enclosed drawings,
marina facilities and multifamily units are shown only in concept. The unit count, if
and when constructed may vary slightly from our original estimates or concepts. The
hotel and restaurant facility will not require the full capacity of the permitted
flow and the owner wishes to phase the construction of the waste water treatment
facility as the site development demands. If the marina facilities and the multifamily
complex do become a reality at some point in time, the design and construction of the
same will be in accordance with the rules and regulations of the government agencies
having authority and the proper permits or permit modifications will be applied for.
If you have any further questions or comments, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
