Dear Mr. Dorney:
Enclosed is the application of Ronald & Mary Smith for
Department of the Army authorization and a State Water Quality
Certification to fill a ponded area, which was originally
excavated as a boat basin, by constructing a 75-foot-long,
8- to 10-foot-wide by 4-foot-high riprap structure and filling
with approximately 2,000 cubic yards of material to existing
ground elevation in Back Sound, Harkers Island, 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.
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 March 16, 1998, the
District Engineer will deem that waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to the undersigned at
telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
Jeffrey H. Richter

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
Ronald And Mary 5nmlth

9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
The project site is a 1.1 acre residential tract located on the south side of Harker's Island, adjacent
to Back Sound. The street address is 1122 Island Rd. in Carteret County. The property averages
+1' to +6 above mean high water in elevation, and is vegetated predominantly with typical
landscape grasses. There is a residence existing on the property which is serviced by a septic
tank and community water.
The Carteret County Land Use Plan classifies this area as Limited Transition, with all CAMA
Areas of Environmental Concern classified as Conservation. The waters of Back Sound are
classified SA-ORW by the Division of Water Quality. The area is open to the taking of shellfish
for consumption, and is not designated Primary Nursery by the Division of Marine Fisheries.
While there is no evidence of seagrass within the basin, Back Sound is scattered with seagrass
beds. There is no evidence of shellfish within the basin.
There is a ±250' x 75' basin on the south side of the property which was excavated prior to the
CAMA. State Permit #70-79 was issued to John S. Blanton, Jr. on 6104/79 for maintenance
excavation of the southernmost portion of the basin, installing a bulkhead 50' from the landward
end, and filling behind the bulkhead. Because of the objections and permit denials from other
agencies, Mr. Blanton had the permit modified on 9/26/79 to eliminate the bulkhead and all fill
below mean high water. On 12/04/87, Mr. Blanton was again issued a permit, #234-87 for the
maintenance excavation of the basin.
The landward or north end of the basin is vegetated with Iva frutescens and S artina patens
(1800 sf), transitioning to S artina altemiflora with Juncus roemerianus (±600 sf) as one moves
southward into the pond. There is a ±3' fringe of Spartina alterniflora around the majority of the
perimeter of the basin (±1200 sf), with three larger populations (±160 sf, 360 sf, 400 sf) within
the basin. On the west side of the basin there is a 4' fringe of mixed Borrichia frutescens and
Sparing patens landward of the S artina alterniflora (±800 sf). On the east side, the S artina
a e ora terminates at the escarpment, and the area is vegetated with S artina patens Mvrica
cerifera and Smilax spQ, dropping to a healthy expanse of high and low marsh on the adjacent
property. This higher area of wetland species on the east side was probably formed with the
spoils of the original basin excavation. There is a 1150 sf area of mixed S artina atens and
Borrichia frutescens near the mouth of the basin.
The average current depth in the basin is -1' to -1.5' at mean low water. The basin stays filled at
all tides due to a blockage at the mouth. The applicant states that there is approximately 1' in
tidal flux in the basin, due apparently to a subsurface "pushing" effect of the +2.5' tidal flux
within Back Sound. There is no interaction between Back Sound and the basin except during
extreme tides. The substrate is very silty, with a sandy berm at the mouth. It is apparent through
photography observation that the dynamics of Back Sound in this area are conducive to the filling
of this basin. The mouth shoals regularly and rapidly, and there is no indication that an access
channel has ever been excavated into Back Sound. Back Sound in this area is scattered with beds

of seagrass, and would probably not lend itself to regulatory approval for excavation. Therefore,
conditions causing the shoaling will probably remain unchanged. There is no indication of
public use of this basin.
Because of the uselessness of the basin, and the danger it represents for the children of the
applicant, the applicant wishes to fill the basin. The proposal is to close the mouth of the basin
through the placement of riprap. The structure will be approximately 75' in length, 8' -10' in
width, and 4' in elevation. The proposal is then to place approximately 2000 cubic yards of fill
material landward of the riprap to fill the basin to existing ground elevation.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPC_T_S:
Filling of this basin would cause the loss of approximately 2120 square feet of S artina
to or 800 square feet of Spartina atens mixed with Iva frutescens 600 square feet of
S arti a alterniflora mixed with Juncus roemerianus, and 950 square feet of Spartina ate s
mixed with Bo 'c is frutescens. Additionally, 18,750 square feet of shallow bottom area within
ponded estuarine waters would become high ground. Any productivity of the system through
irregular interaction with Back Sound would be lost. The higher wetland species occurring on
the escarpment to the east of the basin should not be impacted by the proposal, as the request is
to fill to adjacent existing ground elevations. Filling of the basin would eliminate a safety risk,
and the health and vector concerns associated with a stagnant body of water. Public Trust rights
would not be effected by the proposal.

Section 3. Part d.
1122 Island Road
Harkers Island
The purpose of this request is to fill in
a man-made boat basin. Due to lack of
maintenance, adjacent high ground erosion has
filled the basin to an average depth of -1.5
feet below MLW of the basin. The mouth of the
basin is completely filled with sand. If the
mouth were open the basin would completely drain
at low tide because most of the bottom of basin
is above the MLW of the Back Sound. Storm tides
continue to cause erosion around the interior
perimeter of the basin.
The method of construction will be to
form a rock bulkhead across the mouth of the
basin (length 75 feet) and fill the basin to the
surrounding ground level (2 to 3 feet above MHW
of Back Sound).
The property will continue to be used
for residential purposes.

RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OR PERMIT RESTRICTIONS
A site visit was conducted on January 21, 1998. This office has no objection to the project, but
due to the amount of debris found located on the site, would like to strongly recommend that only
clean fill be used to till the area. That the project be done in such a manner so as to not cause
turbidity outside the immediate construction area to exceed 25 NTU.

9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
The project site is a 1.1 acre residential tract located on the south side of Harker's Island, adjacent
to Back Sound. The street address is 1122 Island Rd. in Carteret County. The property averages
+1' to +6' above mean high water in elevation, and is vegetated predominantly with typical
landscape grasses. There is a residence existing on the property which is serviced by a septic
tank and community water.
The Carteret County Land Use Plan classifies this area as Limited Transition, with all CAMA
Areas of Environmental Concern classified as Conservation. The waters of Back Sound are
classified SA-ORW by the Division of Water Quality. The area is open to the taking of shellfish
for consumption, and is not designated Primary Nursery by the Division of Marine Fisheries.
While there is no evidence of seagrass within the basin, Back Sound is scattered with seagrass
beds. There is no evidence of shellfish within the basin.
There is a ±250' x 75' basin on the south side of the property which was excavated prior to the
LAMA. State Permit #70-79 was issued to John S. Blanton, Jr. on 6/04/79 for maintenance
excavation of the southernmost portion of the basin, installing a bulkhead 50' from the landward
end, and filling behind the bulkhead. Because of the objections and permit denials from other
agencies, Mr. Blanton had the permit modified on 9/26/79 to eliminate the bulkhead and all fill
below mean high water. On 12/04/87, Mr. Blanton was again issued a permit, #234-87 for the
maintenance excavation of the basin.
The landward or north end of the basin is vegetated with Iva frutescens and S artina patens
(±800 sf), transitioning to Spartina alterniflora with Juncus roemerianus (±600 sf) as one moves
southward into the pond. There is a ±3' fringe of S artina alterniflora around the majority of the
perimeter of the basin (±1200 sf), with three larger populations (±160 sf, 360 sf, 400 sf) within
the basin. On the west side of the basin there is a 4' fringe of mixed Borrichia frutescens and
Spartina patens landward of the Spartina alterniflora (±800 sf). On the east side, the Spartina
alterniflora terminates at the escarpment, and the area is vegetated with S artina patens, Myrica
cerifera and Smilax sue., dropping to a healthy expanse of high and low marsh on the adjacent
property. This higher area of wetland species on the east side was probably formed with the
spoils of the original basin excavation. There is a ±150 sf area of mixed SSpartina patens and
Borrichia frutescens near the mouth of the basin.
The average current depth in the basin is -1' to -15 at mean low water. The basin stays filled at
all tides due to a blockage at the mouth. The applicant states that there is approximately F in
tidal flux in the basin, due apparently to a subsurface "pushing" effect of the ±25 tidal flux
within Back Sound. There is no interaction between Back Sound and the basin except during
extreme tides. The substrate is very silty, with a sandy berm at the mouth. It is apparent through
photography observation that the dynamics of Back Sound in this area are conducive to the filling
of this basin. The mouth shoals regularly and rapidly, and there is no indication that an access
channel has ever been excavated into Back Sound. Back Sound in this area is scattered with beds
of seagrass, and would probably not lend itself to regulatory approval for excavation. Therefore,
conditions causing the shoaling will probably remain unchanged. There is no indication of
public use of this basin.
Because of the uselessness of the basin, and the danger it represents for the children of the
applicant, the applicant wishes to fill the basin. The proposal is to close the mouth of the basin
through the placement of riprap. The structure will be approximately 75' in length, 8' -10' in
width, and 4' in elevation. The proposal is then to place approximately 2000 cubic yards of fill
material landward of the riprap to fill the basin to existing ground elevation.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
Filling of this basin would cause the loss of approximately 2120 square feet of Spartina
alterniflora, 800 square feet of Spartina patens mixed with Iva frutescens, 600 square feet of
S artina alterniflora mixed with Juncus roemerianus, and 950 square feet of Spartina patens
mixed with Borrichia frutescens. Additionally, 18,750 square feet of shallow bottom area within
ponded estuarine waters would become high ground. Any productivity of the system through
irregular interaction with Back Sound would be lost. The higher wetland species occurring on
the escarpment to the east of the basin should not be impacted by the proposal, as the request is
to fill to adjacent existing ground elevations. Filling of the basin would eliminate a safety risk,
and the health and vector concerns associated with a stagnant body of water. Public Trust rights
would not be effected by the proposal.

Form DCM-MP-1
Section 3. Part d.
The purpose of this request is to fill in
a man-made boat basin. Due to lack of
maintenance, adjacent high ground erosion has
filled the basin to an average depth of -1.5
feet below MLW of the basin. The mouth of the
basin is completely filled with sand. If the
mouth were open the basin would completely drain
at low tide because most of the bottom of basin
is above the MLW of the Back Sound. Storm tides
continue to cause erosion around the interior
perimeter of the basin.
The method of construction will be to
form a rock bulkhead across the mouth of the
basin (length 75 feet) and fill the basin to the
surrounding ground level (2 to 3 feet above MHW
of Back Sound).
The property will continue to be used
for residential purposes.
