Dear Mr. Cutler:
Reference your application for a Department of the Army permit

such change or alteration. Such action is necessary as revised
plans must be reviewed and the authorization modified.

Dear Mr. Cutler:

1lJN j,0 "
On February 6, 1986, we renewed general permit No. SAWC080-N-
000-0291 (copy enclosed), which provides Federal authorization for
construction activities that receive authorization from the State
of North Carolina.
A review of your application received June 13, 1988, for
Department of the Army authorization to construct a wharf and
construct and backfill a bulkhead on Wynn's Creek, Pantego Creek,
Belhaven, Beaufort 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If your application must be withdrawn from this general permit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 informed regarding its further
management. If there are no unresolved differences in State-
Federal positions or policies, the final action taken on your
application by the State will result in your receiving written
notice from us that your application is consistent with the
general permit and you may commence your activity. Only after
receiving such confirmation should you begin work.
Your application, pursuant to Section 10 of the River and
Harbor Act and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, has been
assigned No. SAWC088-N-007-0386 and will be coordinated by
Mr. Ernest Jahnke. He is available at telephone [phone].

Enclosed is the application of Belhaven Fish and Oyster
Company, represented by Mr. Robert Cutler, for Department of the
Army authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to
construct a wharf and construct and backfill a bulkhead on Wynn's
Gut, Pantego Creek, Belhaven, Beaufort 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 may be 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, 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
by August 17, 1988, the District Engineer will deem that waiver
has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Ernest Jahnke,

8. Project summary The applicant is proposing to construct a bulkhead and wharf. The
--
area will be used for access to an existing seafood processing facility.
Environmental setting
Belhaven Fish and Oyster Company is an existing seafood processing facility which
is located adjacent to Wynn's Gut within the Town of Belhaven. The company
handles various types of seafood with its existing facilities of docks, storage
and processing buildings, and refrigeration building. The facilities are bordered
by gravel parking lots on the north and east sides and by Wynn's Gut on the west
and south. Wynn's Gut was historically a natural creek system, a tributary of Pantego
Creek. Over time the gut has been modified to resemble a manmade system in which
extensive excavation, bulkheading, and pier construction has occurred. Most of the
shorelines are composed of various areas of broken pilings and various areas where
trash and litter exist. No wetland vegetation is existing along the project portion
of the gut.
Project proposal
The applicant is proposing to construct a bulkhead within Wynn's Gut and backfill
the confined area with materials from an upland source. The bulkhead will be 128'
in length and will average + 3' beyond the normal water level. The annual erosion
rate within the vicinity of the project is negligible. Also proposed is a + 118' long
by + 10' wide wharf which will be placed waterward of the bulkhead. This wharf
will be used for access to an existing wharf and to moor vessels. The applicant is
proposing the project because of the need to be able to obtain access for large
trucks on the west side of the existing building. Access is needed for the
convenience of shipping of products.
Environmental impact
If the project is conducted as proposed + 286 sq.ft. of open water area within.
Wynn's Gut will be filled. The area to be filled averages + -2' in depth at the
MIL, and contains various rotten pilings, and other debris. No wetland vegetation
is present at the project site.
