Dear Mr. Shimpach:
By copy of the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management
correspondence addressed to you, dated November 24, 1992, we have learned
that your proposal to place fill material in 0.02 acre of 404 wetlands on
property owned by the Chicamacomico Banks Fire Department, located off the
east side of Highway 12, adjacent to the North Drain, Rodanthe, Dare County,
North Carolina, has been determined to be inconsistent with the Dare County
Land Use Plan and the North Carolina Coastal Management Program. Therefore,
under the administrative rules of our regulatory program, we cannot give
favorable consideration to issuance of Federal authorization. Accordingly,
your Department of the Army application is hereby denied, without prejudice,
and your file has been retired.
Further consideration for Department of the Army authorization must
await your successful appeal of the findings of inconsistency with the North
Carolina Division of Coastal Management. After you have satisfied the Dare
County Land Use Plan and the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management,
we will reconsider your application for Federal authorization.
Thank you for your time and cooperation. If you should have any
questions concerning this matter, please contact Mr. Raleigh W. Bland at the
Washington Regulatory Field Office, Post Office Box 1000, Washington, North
Carolina 27889-1000, or telephone [phone].
Sincerely,

RE: Action ID 199201862, Nationwide Permit No. 26 Application for an activity
located in Dare County.
Dear Mr. Shimpach:
The North Carolina Division of Coastal Management has reviewed the above referenced application
for a Nationwide Permit No. 26 dated November 8, 1992 (received November 17, 1992) pursuant to
Section 307 of the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 as amended. Based upon our review, we
have determined that the proposed activity is inconsistent with the North Carolina Coastal
Management Program. Therefore in accordance with 15 CFR 930.65 and 33 CFR 320.40), you are
not authorized to proceed with the work proposed.
Specifically, the proposal is inconsistent with the special development standards for the Conservation
Land Class in the 1987 Dare County Land Use Plan. These standards indicate that: .
"Development or alteration of land, including the construction of single family
residences on suitable land, is appropriate within conservation areas where it can be
shown that "the proposed development will not destroy or irretrievably alter (a)
wetlands..."".
The activity proposed in this permit application (wetlands fill and no mitigation) is clearly inconsistent
with the County's land use plan as noted above, and is therefore inconsistent with the North Carolina
Coastal Management Program. It should be noted that a structure built on piling over 404 wetland,

bridging over 404 wetland, or the use of oak mats on 404 wetland would meet the Dare County land
use plan requirements, and that other wetland fills appropriately mitigated have previously been found
to be consistent with the Dare County Land Use Plan.
We will be happy to reconsider our position should your proposal be modified such that the project is
no longer inconsistent with the above listed policies. Please feel free to contact me at [phone]
at your earliest convenience to discuss possible modifications or alternatives.
If you disagree with our finding, you have the right to appeal our decision to the Secretary, U.S.
Department of Commerce, Washington, DC. The appeal must be filed within thirty (30) days of
receipt of this letter and must specifically address one of the following findings: That although the
project currently is inconsistent,. it may be federally approved because; 1) The activity is consistent
with the objectives or purposes of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act; or, 2) Is necessary in
the interest of national security. Mr. Steve Benton of the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management in Raleigh, NC is available to discuss the appeal procedures and to provide assistance if
needed in filing an appeal. He can be reached at [phone]. ,

kTER QUALITY SEC?':'
Please reference your onsite meeting on April 21, 1992, with Mr. Raleigh
Bland of my staff and your subsequent request of November 8, 1992, for
Department of the Army authorization to place fill material in 0.07 acres of
404 wetlands on property owned by the Chicamacomico Banks Fire Department,
located off the east side of Highway 12, adjacent the North Drain, Rodanthe,
Dare County, North Carolina.
For the purposes of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program,
Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the
Federal Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits.
Authorization was provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act,
for discharges of dredged or fill material into headwaters and isolated waters
provided:
a. the discharge does not cause the loss of more than 10 acres of waters
of the United States;
b. the permitee notifies the District Engineer if the discharge would
cause the loss of waters of the United States greater than one acre in
accordance with the "Notification" general condition. For discharges in
special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the notification must also include
a delineation of affected specific aquatic sites, including wetlands; and
c. the discharge, including all attendant features, both temporary and
permanent, is part of a single and complete project.
Your work is authorized by this nationwide permit provided it is
accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions. This
nationwide permit does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any
required State or local approval.
N 4.
-2-
This verification will be valid for 2 years from the date of this letter
unless the nationwide authorization is modified, reissued, or revoked. Also,
this verification will remain valid for the 2 years if, during that period,
the nationwide permit authorization is reissued without modification or the
activity complies with any subsequent modification of the nationwide permit
authorization. If during the 2 years, the nationwide permit authorization
expires or is suspended or revoked, or is modified, such that the activity
would no longer comply with the terms and conditions of the nationwide permit,
activities which have commenced (i.e., are under construction) or are under
contract to commence in reliance upon the nationwide permit will remain
authorized provided the activity is completed within 12 months of the date of
the nationwide permit's expiration, modification or revocation, unless
discretionary authority has been exercised on a case-by-case basis to modify,
suspend, or revoke the authorization.
As discussed with Mr. Bland onsite, you should contact the following State
agencies to obtain the required State authorizations prior to starting work:
Mr. John Dorney, North Carolina Division of Environmental Management,
telephone [phone], and Mr. Steve Benton, North Carolina Division of
Coastal Management, telephone [phone].
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Raleigh Bland, Washington
