BIO REPORT

SITE DESCRIPTION
The applicants currently own a private residence located on Croatan
Sound in Manns Harbor, N.C. The property is entirely highground covered by
trees, yard grasses and 2'plots of S artina patens. Riprap stone and concrete
are currently found landward of a failing wooden bulkhead located 0'-11' seaward
of the land. Approximately 300:sq. ft. of land is located below the mean high
tide mark at two locations where boards are missing from the bulkhead. These
two holes are filled with some rocks and debris.
The applicant proposes to slope the bank and cover the soil with filter
cloth and riprap sloping down to end at the base of the existing wooden bulkhead.
ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
This project will cause the filling of approximately 300 square feet of
shallow water habitat .landward.of the existing bulkhead. No coastal wetlands
will. be impacted by this project.
rAMA RFVTPW
The project is consistent with the community classification in the Dare
County LUP.

Dear Mr. Mills:
Enclosed is the application of Mr. Thomas M. Fearing and
Ms. Marcia P. Fearing for a Department of the Army permit and a
State Water Quality Certification to place riprap material on
Croatan Sound adjacent the shoreline of thier property, Croatan
Orchard, Manns Harbor, Dare 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 authorization of 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 considered a
reasonable time for State action. Therefore, if your office has
not acted on the request by March 25, 1988, the District Engineer
will deem that waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Ms. Alison Arnold,
telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
Cha s W. Ho is

WATER QUALITY SECTION
OPERATIONS 8!,,?AI\ICH
On February 6, 1986, we renewed general permit No. SAWC080-N-
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 January 21, 1988, for
Department of the Army authorization to place riprap material on
Croatan Sound along the shoreline of your property, Croatan
Orchard, Manns Harbor, Dare 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
processed under our general permit. 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. SAWCO88-N-028-0134 and will be coordinated by
Ms. Alison Arnold. She is available to address questions or
comments you may have at telephone [phone].
