PUBLIC NOTICE
THE U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE, MACKAY ISLAND NATIONAL WILDLIFE
REFUGE, Post Office Box 31, Knotts Island, North Carolina 27950, has applied
for a Department of the Army permit TO PLACE FILL MATERIAL IN WETLANDS OF
BELLOWS BAY, CURRITUCK SOUND, TO CONSTRUCT A TEMPORARY COFFER DAM, MACKAY
ISLAND NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, KNOTTS ISLAND, Currituck County, North
Carolina.
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the
applicant. Plans submitted with the application show the proposed placement
of fill material in wetlands to construct a 20-foot-long, 4-foot-wide, 2- to
3-foot-high temporary coffer dam. The purpose of the work is to facilitate
installation of a water control pipe in the adjacent dike. The water control
pipe would be used to regulate the water level in the adjacent wildlife
management pond. The wetlands to be filled are dominated by black needlerush
(Juncus romerianus) and big cordgrass (Spartina cynosoroides). The fill
material would be obtained from the adjacent dike. The cofferdam-would be
removed after-, the project is `comp eted (approxi-ma-tely 2 .months)..: _Plans...,
showing the work are included with this public notice.
The applicant has determined that the proposed work is consistent with the
North Carolina Coastal Zone Management Plan and has submitted this
determination to the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management for their
review and concurrence. This proposal shall be reviewed for the applicability
of other actions by North Carolina agencies such as:
a. The issuance of a Water Quality Certification under Section 401 of the
Clean Water Act by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management.
b. The issuance of a permit to dredge and/or fill under North Carolina
General Statute 113-229 by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management.
c. The issuance of a permit under the North Carolina Coastal Area
Management Act (CAMA) by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management or
their delegates.
d. The issuance of an easement to fill or otherwise occupy State-owned
submerged land under North Carolina General Statute 143-341(4), 146-6, 146-11,
and 146-12 by the North Carolina Department of Administration and the North
Carolina Council of State.
h
-2-
e. The approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan by the Land
Quality Section, North Carolina Division of Land Resources, pursuant to the
State Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (NC G.S. 113 A-50-66).
The application for Department of the Army authorization will be denied if
any required State or local authorization and/or certification is denied. No
Department of the Army permit will be issued until a State coordinated
viewpoint is received and reviewed by this agency. Recipients of this notice
are encouraged to furnish comments on factors of concern represented by the
above agencies directly to the respective agency, with a copy furnished to the
Corps of Engineers.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404(b) of the
Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within
the comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing be held to
consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with
particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.
The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the
National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered
properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein, and
this worksite is not registered property or property listed as being eligible
for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register
constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District
Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources.
Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical
data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit.
The District Engineer has determined, based on a review of data furnished
by the applicant and onsite observations, that the activity will not affect
species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened
pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation.of
the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity
and its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable
impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires a
careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular
case. The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the
proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The
decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which
it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the
general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern
for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which
may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumulative
effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general
environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values,
ti
-3-
flood hazards, flood plain values, land use, navigation, shore erosion and
accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy
needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of
property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For
activities involving the placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of
the United States, a permit will be denied if the discharge that would be
authorized by such permit would not comply with the Environmental Protection
Agencies' 404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any
other applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the
District Engineer determines that it would be contrary to the public interest.
Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army
permit will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (DEM) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The DEM considers whether or not the
proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the
Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the Department of
the Army permit serves as application to the DEM for certification.
Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be
reviewed at the offices of the Environmental Operations Section, North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Salisbury Street, Archdale
Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished"
to any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs.
r
The North Carolina Division of Environmental Management plans to take
final action in the issuance of the Clean Water Act certification on or after
March 27, 1988.
All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean
Water Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Post Office Box 27687, Raleigh,
North Carolina 27611-7687, on or before February 29, 1988, Attention:
Mr. William Mills.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will
be received in this office, Attention: Ms. Alison Arnold, until 4:15 p.m.,
March 15, 1988, or telephone [phone].

Dear Mr. Mills:

VVAIER UX-ITY Ei "l ?t7 i
OPEIRA 'ION,,3 r,9.1,er
Enclosed is the application of The U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, Mackay Island National Wildlife Refuge, for Department of
the Army authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to
place fill material in wetlands adjacent to Bellows Bay, Currituck
Sound,, Mackay Island National Wildlife Refuge,_Knotts Island,
Currituck 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 April 12, 1988, the District Engineer will deem that waiver has
occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Ms. Alison Arnold,
telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
