Dear Mr. Simpson:
Subject: Proposed fill in Wetlands or Waters
Waterfowl impoundment and road crossing
Pamlico County
DEM Project,# 93140
. Upon review of your request for 401 Water Quality
Certification to place fill material in 0.56 acres of wetlands or
waters which are tributary to Neuse River for construction of a
waterfowl impoundment and road crossing located at NC 306 in
Pamlico County as described in your submittal dated 24 February
1993, we have determined that the proposed fill can be covered by
General Water Quality Certification Nos. 2671 and 2732 issued
January 21, 1992. Copies of the General Certifications are
attached. These Certifications may be used in qualifying for
coverage under'Corps of Engineers' Nationwide Permit Nos. 26 and
14. An additional condition is that no pumped drawdown shall be
allowed due to concerns about the introduction of bacteria into
nearby waters. A weir or seepage drawdown are acceptable.
If you have any questions, please contact John Dorney at
919-733-1786.

Water Quality Planning
Div. of Environmental Management, DEHNR
FROM: Richard B. Hamilton ( t4AI J N N??vtic bvl
Assistant Director E?
DATE: March 18, 1993
SUBJECT: Division of Environmental Management 401 Certification for Mr.
David Simpson, Neuse River, Pamlico County, North Carolina
Biologists on our staff are familiar with the proposed project site
and have reviewed the subject permit application for the purpose of
assessing project impacts to wildlife and fisheries resources. This
correspondence is provided in accordance with certain provisions of the
Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C.
661 et seq.) and the North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et
seq.).
The applicant is requesting authorization clear and flood 0.33 acres
of vegetated wetland for waterfowl habitat development. The site is
vegetated with loblolly and pond pine as overstory species with
gallberry, fetterbush and Smilax as the prominent understory species.
Primary wildlife species utilizing the habitat include; black bear,
white-tailed deer, numerous small mammals and pocosin habitat songbird
species.
The subject document identifies habitat modifications designed to
encourage waterfowl use in the area. We have evaluated the proposed
project and have determined that the specified management objectives are
not feasible under the given conditions nor realistically obtainable by
converting a small fully functional vegetated wetland to a waterfowl
impoundment. Therefore, on the basis of our evaluation and inconsistency
with our guidelines for fisheries and wildlife habitat conservation, we
recommend that the water quality certification for the proposed project
be denied.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project.
If you require additional information or need to discuss these comments,
please call Mr. Brent Wilson, Wildlife Biologist at [phone].

DATE: March 151 1993
SUBJECT: Division of Environmental Management 401 Certification for Mr.
David Simpson, Neuse River, Pamlico County, North Carolina
Biologists on our staff are familiar with the proposed project site
and have reviewed the subject permit application for the purpose of
assessing project impacts to wildlife and fisheries resources. This
correspondence is provided in accordance with certain provisions of the
Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C.
661 et seq.) and the North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et
seq.).
The applicant is requesting authorization to impact through
excavation and fill, 0.23 acres of vegetated wetland for improved access
to upland portions of the property for timber management activities. The
site is vegetated with loblolly and pond pine, as overstory species with
gallberry, fetterbush and Smilax as the prominent understory species.
Primary wildlife species using the habitat include; black bear, white-
tailed deer, numerous small mammals and pocosin habitat songbird species.
The subject document specifies canal width dimensions of 20 feet and
a 60 foot spacing between drainage canals, which we consider to be an
excessive amount for an equipment access road right-of-way. Modification
to the proposal involving a maximum road surface of 15 feet with
proportionately smaller canal widths and distance between canals will
reduce the impacted area by one-half while providing sufficient road
surface for the intended use, as described in the permit application.
Consequently, we recommend that certification for the project as proposed
not be issued.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project.
If you require additional information or need to discuss these comments,
please call Mr. Brent Wilson, Wildlife Biologist at [phone].
