9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is an existing access channel to the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway
(AIWW) located adjacent to eleven singly-family residences, between 8637 and 8744 Bald
Eagle Lane, in the Porter's Neck area of New Hanover County. The site is accessed by
Porter's Neck Rd., offU.S. Highway 17-North. Bald Eagle Lane lies parallel to the
AIWW extending from Futches Creek south to the Figure 8 Island Bridge, and is
developed with single family residences on large lots.
The access channel runs parallel to the shoreline with a perpendicular channel at each end
connecting to the AIWW. The access channel was originally permitted for excavation in
1978, by State Permit #170-78, and has not been dredged since that time. Shoaling,
primarily in the southern channel leg, has prompted the applicant to apply for a
maintenance permit on behalf of the eleven property owners.
New Hanover County classifies this area as Conservation in their Land Use Plan. The
area is not a designated Primary Nursery Area by the NC Division of Marine Fisheries.
The waters of Middle Sound are classified SA-ORW by the N.C. Division of Water
Quality, and are open to the taking of shellfish.
The maintenance proposal is to dredge the 1500-1600 feet of total channel length to a
width of 50 feet and a depth of -6 feet at mean low water (MLW). Current soundings in
the channel indicate the water depths average -1 foot MLW to -4 feet MLW. The
dredging would end where the channel intersects the -6 feet MLW depth contour of the
AIWW. The dredging is to be accomplished hydraulically. The material will be pumped
to an existing USACOE spoil island, located just south and across the AIWW from the
project site. The applicant has received approval from the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers
to use the site. The spoil area is triangular in shape, approximately 3500 ft. x 300 ft. x 450
ft. There is to be a water control structure, with adjustable flashboards, and an effluent
pipe to return the effluent to the mean low water line.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
This project would create the disturbance of approximately 80,000 square feet of shallow,
sandy bottom. Approximately 8000 cubic yards of material would be removed from the
channel system, and placed on high ground on the spoils disposal island. Temporary
turbidity increases are to be expected during the dredging activity. The project would
promote continued safe boating access.

Dear Mr. Dorney:
Enclosed is the application of William F. Boucher for Department of the
Army authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to perform
maintenance dredging of a 1,500 to 1,600-foot long 50-foot wide existing
channel to a depth of -6 feet mean low water, with the material pumped to an
existing US Army Corps of Engineers spoil island, at Porters Neck along the
Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway near Wilmington, New Hanover, 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
10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act. However, 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.
According to our administrative regulations, 60 days is reasonable for
State action. Therefore, if you have not acted on the request, or asked for an
extension of time, by January 24, 1998, the District Engineer will deem that
waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to the undersigned of the
Regulatory Division, telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
of fro' H. Richter

Mr. William Boucher

Dear Mr. Boucher:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to dredge in 80,000 square feet of
waters for the purpose of conducting maintenance dredging at the existing channel adjacent to Bald Eagle Lane
, as you described in your application dated November 17, 1997. After reviewing your application, we have
decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3112. In addition, you should
get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited
to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed
regulations. Also this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 or CAMA permit expires unless
otherwise specified in the General Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you
change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. If total
wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required
as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions
listed in the attached certification.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing.
You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written
petition which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of
Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and its conditions
are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water
Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-1786.
Sincerely,
ston 'Howard, Jr. P.E.
