Enclosed is the application of Fidelity Worldwide Investment, represented by Mr. Ed Flynn, F&S Marine Contractors, Incorporated, for Department of the Army authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to excavate a basin, construct a dock and boatlift structure and construct and backfill a bulkhead on Cedar Island Boat Basin, off the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW), near Wilmington, New Hanover 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 is 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, in most cases, 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, or asked for an extension of time, by May 22, 1995, the District Engineer will deem that waiver has occurred. Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Jeff Richter, Wilmington Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone (910) 251-4636.

PROJECT SUMMARY: Applicant proposes to excavate an individual boat basin complete with boat lift and dock, stabilized with a bulkhead, within the Cedar Island Boat Basin. Fidelity Worldwide Investments Page 2 9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2/27/95 The project site is located within the Cedar Island Boat Basin on the mainland side at 6420 Quail Run Road. This is off of SR 1513 in New Hanover County. This is a residential area, with home sites averaging 4 to 7 acres each. The applicant's property is 6.68 acres in size, and averages 6' in elevation. There is presently a single family residence, enclosed pool, tennis courts, bulkhead, and floating dock on the property. The property fronts the Cedar Island Boat Basin, a man-made basin that empties into Hewlett's-Creek at its mouth. The property has the remnants of an old basin about midway along the shoreline. The shoreline is stabilized with a bulkhead from the southern side up to this feature. From this feature northward, there is no bulkhead, but a fringe of coastal marsh. The escarpment is approximately 4' in elevation. The property ends at a drainage seep separating it from the neighboring property to the north. Hewlett's Creek is classified SA by the Division of Environmental Management. Masonboro Sound is classified SA-ORW at this location. According to the writt en specifications delineating the Masonboro Sound ORW Area, the island is ORW, and by proximity, the waters behind the island would also be classified as ORW. Hewlett's Creek is a designated Primary Nursery area. The creek is closed to the taking of shellfish from about midway into the mouth landward. It has recently been temporarily closed for the remainder. The basin entrance to the creek is on the AIWW side of the closure line, and therefore, remains open to shellfishing. New Hanover County classifies the area as Conservation. The applicant proposes the excavation of a basin at the location of a depression into the bank that appears to be from an old basin. This depression is approximately 12' x 12'. Dredging would cut into the bank around this depression for 30' landward and 35' in width. The cut would continue for another 28' to connect to the channel in the Cedar Island Boat Basin. Soundings in the proposed basin area currently average +2.5' mlw to -5' mlw. The high ground is from 4' to 6' in elevation. Square footage of the excavated area is approximately 1742, with the removal of approximately 451 cubic yards of material. Approximately one half of this will be removed from high ground, and one half from shallow bottom. The applicant proposes the placement of a 6' x 24' float within the newly created basin, with a 14' x 14' boatlift on its north side. The boatlift would be covered, and with the float would incorporate approximately 504 square feet of Public Trust Area within the man-made basin. The structures would extend approximately 8' into the Cedar Island Boat Basin proper. The applicant would stabilize the boat basin with approximately 105 linear feet of,bulkheading. The project would provide 2 mooring spaces. The applicant currently has a 60' float along his shoreline, providing 2-3 slips. The excavation is to be accomplished by excavator, and placed into a truck to be dried in a 50' x 50' diked area constructed 200'+ from the water on this same property. The spoil should not contain substantial amounts of water due to the method of excavation and the trucking of the material to the spoil site. However, because the dimensions of the spoil area are only sufficient to contain the amount excavated when dried, it may need to be enlarged. There is ample room on the property for this if necessary. There are at least three other man-made basins opening into the Cedar Island Boat Basin. IQ. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS This project could have been accomplished under a General Permit except for the fact that the high ground basin was to connect to a Primary Nursery Area. The excavation will disturb approximately 1116 square feet of previously dredged shallow bottom area, and approximately 626 square feet of high ground. This will remove approximately 225 cubic yards of material from each system, or a total of 451 cubic yards. The placement of the material will cause the fill of approximately 2500 square feet of high ground. The covered boatlift and float will incorporate approximately 504 square feet of Public Trust Area. The bulkhead will stabilize the newly disturbed shoreline, and will cause temporary disturbance of the area behind the wall. The basin does connect to a Primary Nursery Area, but it does so only after passing through another larger manmade basin. This area has a 4' tidal amplitude, and has shown no tendency toward stagnation or water quality problems in the past. Water enters this basin from the tidal marsh on the north side, opening under the bridge to the island, as well as from the opening to Hewlett's Creek. Submitted by: T.

Approximately one half of this will be removed from high ground, and one half from shallow bottom. The applicant proposes the placement of a 6' x 24' float within the"newly created basin, with a 14' x 14' boatlift on its north side. The boatlift would be covered, and with the float would incorporate approximately 504 square feet of Public Trust Area within the man-made basin. The structures would extend approximately 8' into the Cedar Island Boat Basin proper. The applicant would stabilize the boat basin with approximately 105 linear feet of bulkheading. The project would provide 2 mooring spaces. The applicant currently has a 60' float along his shoreline, providing 2-3 slips. The excavation is to be accomplished by excavator, and placed into a truck to be dried in a 50' x 50' diked area constructed 200'+ from the water on this same property. The spoil should not contain substantial amounts of water due to the method of excavation and the trucking of the material to the spoil site. However, because the dimensions of the spoil area are only sufficient to contain the amount excavated when dried, it may need to be enlarged. There is ample room on the property for this if necessary. There are at least three other man-made basins opening into the Cedar Island Boat Basin. 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS This project could have been accomplished under a General Permit except for the fact that the high ground basin was to connect to a Primary Nursery Area. The excavation will disturb approximately 1116 square feet of previously dredged shallow bottom area, and approximately 626 square feet of high ground. This will remove approximately 225 cubic yards of material from each system, or atotal of 451 cubic yards. The placement of the material will cause the fill of approximately 2500 square feet of high ground. The covered boatlift and float will incorporate approximately 504 square feet of Public Trust Area. The bulkhead will stabilize the newly disturbed shoreline, and will cause temporary disturbance of the area behind the wall. The basin does connect to a Primary Nursery Area, but it does so only after passing through another larger manmade basin. This area has a 4' tidal amplitude, and has shown no tendency toward stagnation or water quality problems in the past. Water enters this basin from the tidal marsh on the north side, opening under the bridge to the island, as well as from the opening to Hewlett's Creek. Submitted by: T.
