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 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). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification.

PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to construct ±27' of bulkhead averaging 25.25' offshore to reclaim land lost in hurricane Bonnie. V R Teresa and Harry Stewart Beaufort County Project setting The project is located off SR 1320 at the Shady Banks Subdivision on the Pamlico River near Washington in Beaufort County, North Carolina. The property is bordered on the upstream (west) side by a manmade canal 10' to 15' wide at the project site and widens out as you move upstream. The manmade canal is protected by wooden groins that project into the river and most of the downstream (east) groin was destroyed in hurricane Bonnie. The downstream (east) property is a bulkheaded and developed lot that includes a pier and boathouse. The applicant's property is developed with a house, a pier into the Pamlico River, and a bulkhead along the manmade canal. The site is vegetated with lawn grass, pines and several mixed hardwoods and shrubs. The site elevation is ±3' above the NWL and the property is ±27' wide at the river interface. The Pamlico River is classified as SB-NSW by the Environmental Management Commission. The Pamlico River at the project site is coastal water but is not open to shell fishing. Project description The applicant proposes to construct an approximately 27' long bulkhead for shoreline stabilization as well as to reclaim the land lost to erosion during hurricane Bonnie. The proposed bulkhead will average 25.25' beyond the NWL with a maximum of 26.5'. Anticipated impacts The project as proposed will result in the filling of ±681.75 ft2 of river bottom associated with the bulkhead construction. The project as proposed will result in localized turbidity as a result of the construction activities. David W. Moye - 6 November 1998 Farm DCM-MP-1 APPLICATION (To be completed by all applicants) b.
