APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Mr. Bruce Goepel
418 Shoreline Drive
Cedar Point, NC 28584
Dear Mr. Goepel:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place
fill material in 378 square feet of wetlands and/or waters for the purpose of constructing a boat ramp,
pier and driveway, as you described in your application dated March 20 1998. 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. 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
except as modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us and to send us a new
application. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and
approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. 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) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the
conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed below.
1. Stormwater shall be directed to flow away from the driveway and turnarounds into adjacent
vegetation rather than flow directly into surface waters.
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.
Si c rely,

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:

PAGE #2
8. PROTECT SUMMARY: Applicant is proposing to construct an elevated wood boat
ramp, a pier and gravel driveway. '
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The project is located at lot #1 in the Plantation Shores
Subdivision in the Town of Cedar Point, Carteret County. The lot is 200' long x 50'
wide and is bordered on the south by a small slough off Bogue Sound, on the north by
Sunset Drive, to the east by a house and to the west by a mobile home. The applicant is
also the developer of Plantation Shores Subdivision which consists of 32 lots off NC
Hwy 24. The lot is basically cleared except for a border of oaks and small bushes which
average approx. 50' wide near the waters edge. Waterward of this border of trees there
is a fringe of Coastal Wetlands approx. 20' wide vegetated mainly with Spartina
alterniflora. The slough is approx 107' wide from water edge to water edge. Water
depths range from a minus 9" near the marsh edge to a minus 39" approx. 30' beyond
the edge of the marsh. Waters at the project site have been classified as SA and are
open to the harvesting of shellfish. This area of Bogue Sound is located within
Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW).
The applicant is proposing to construct an elevated wood boat ramp over the Coastal
Wetlands with a pier adjacent to the ramp. The boat ramp would be approx. 64' long x
12' wide. The portion of the ramp on high ground and over the Coastal Wetlands would
be elevated and constructed of wood. The approx. 14' long x 12' wide portion of the
ramp beyond the Coastal Wetlands would be concrete. A pier 60' long x 6' wide would
be built on the east side of the ramp. A gravel driveway would be constructed in the
center of the property from Sunset Drive to within 30' of the MHW line. Two turn
around areas measuring approx. 20' long x 18' wide would also be constructed.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The project as proposed would result in some short term
increases in turbidity during the placement of pilings for the ramp and pier. Approx.
400 sq. ft. of Coastal Wetlands would be shaded by the construction of the ramp and
pier. Approx. 180 sq. ft. of shallow bottom habitat would be loss due to the placement
of the concrete boat ramp in the water. No excavation or fill is being proposed for the
installation of the boat ramp. Approx. 180 sq. ft. of open water area would be shaded
by the installation of the pier. The body of water at the project site is approx. 107' from
water to water. The pier would be located 15' from the riparian property line to the east
and 25' from the riparian property line to the west. The pier would extend 30' beyond
the edge of the Coastal Wetlands, but would not be beyond the existing pier located on
the adjacent property to the west. The pier would also be within the one third rule. The
applicant is not proposing any structures or any high ground improvements to the
property except for the gravel driveway and two turn around areas. The, driveway and
turn around areas would terminate thirty feet from the MHW, and the remainder' of the
area to the water would be grassed and seeded. There has been much concern raised by
FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
BRUCE GOEPEL/CARTERET COUNTY
PAGE #3
the neighbors and several letters written concerning whether the project is for private use
of the applicant or intended for the use of the subdivision the applicant is developing.
According to the Carteret County Land Use Plan (LUP) a public or commercial boat
ramp would not be consistent with the LUP. The installation of the gravel driveway and
turn around areas would increase the impervious area by 1830 sq. ft. The total built
upon area on this project would be 2,250 sq. ft. which is less than the 2,500 sq. ft.
which is allowed.

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
BRUCE GOEPEL/CARTERET COUNTY
PAGE #2
8. PROTECT SUMMARY: Applicant is proposing to construct an elevated wood boat
ramp, a pier and gravel driveway.
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The project is located at lot #1 in the Plantation Shores
Subdivision in the Town of Cedar Point, Carteret County. The lot is 200' long x 50'
wide and is bordered on the south by a small slough off Bogue Sound, on the north by
Sunset Drive, to the east by a house and to the west by a mobile home. The applicant is
also the developer of Plantation Shores Subdivision which consists of 32 lots off NC
Hwy 24. The lot is basically cleared except for a border of oaks and small bushes which
average approx. 50' wide near the waters edge. Waterward of this border of trees there
is a fringe of Coastal Wetlands approx. 20' wide vegetated mainly with Spartina
alterniflora. The slough is approx 107' wide from water edge to water edge. Water
depths range from a minus 9" near the marsh edge to a minus 39" approx. 30' beyond
the edge of the marsh. Waters at the project site have been classified as SA and are
open to the harvesting of shellfish. This area of Bogue Sound is located within
Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW).
The applicant is proposing to construct an elevated wood boat ramp over the Coastal
Wetlands with a pier adjacent to the ramp. The boat ramp would be approx. 64' long x
12' wide. The portion of the ramp on high ground and over the Coastal Wetlands would
be elevated and constructed of wood. The approx. 14' long x 12' wide portion of the
ramp beyond the Coastal Wetlands would be concrete. A pier 60' long x 6' wide would
be built on the east side of the ramp. A gravel driveway would be constructed in the
center of the property from Sunset Drive to within 30' of the MHW line. Two turn
around areas measuring approx. 20' long x 18' wide would also be constructed.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The project as proposed would result in some short term
increases in turbidity during the placement of pilings for the ramp and pier. Approx.
400 sq. ft. of Coastal Wetlands would be shaded by the construction of the ramp and
pier. Approx. 180 sq. ft. of shallow bottom habitat would be loss due to the placement
of the concrete boat ramp in the water. No excavation or fill is being proposed for the
installation of the boat ramp. Approx. 180 sq. ft. of open water area would be shaded
by the installation of the pier. The body of water at the project site is approx. 107' from
water to water. The pier would be located 15' from the riparian property line to the east
and 25' from the riparian property line to the west. The pier would extend 30' beyond
the edge of the Coastal Wetlands, but would not be beyond the existing pier located on
the adjacent property to the west. The pier would also be within the one third rule. The
applicant is not proposing any structures or any high ground improvements to the
property except for the gravel driveway and two turn around areas. The driveway and
turn around areas would terminate thirty feet from the MHW, and the remainder of the
area to the water would be grassed and seeded. There has been much concern raised by
FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
BRUCE GOEPEL/CARTERET COUNTY
PAGE #3
the neighbors and several letters written concerning whether the project is for private use
of the applicant or intended for the use of the subdivision the applicant is developing.
According to the Carteret County Land Use Plan (LUP) a public or commercial boat
ramp would not be consistent with the LUP. The installation of the gravel driveway and
turn around areas would increase the impervious area by 1830 sq. ft. The total built
upon area on this project would be 2,250 sq. ft. which is less than the 2,500 sq. ft.
which is allowed.

Dear Mr. Dorney:
Reference the application of Bruce Goepel for Department of the Army
authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to construct an elevated
wood/concrete boat ramp in Bogue Sound, Cedar Point, Carteret 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.
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 May 19, 1998, the District Engineer will deem that
waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to the undersigned, available at
telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
