APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Mr. David J. DeMont
652 South Lakeside Drive
Raleigh, North
Dear Mr. DeMont:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 1,092 square feet of
wetlands or waters for the purpose of repairing a bulkhead, as you described in your application dated November 5, 1999.
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 N. For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification. This
approval shall expire when the corresponding Nationwide Permit expires or as otherwise provided in the General
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. 276 1 1-7447. 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 Domey at 919-733-9646.

PROJECT SUMMARY: Applicant proposes to repair/replace f 114' of bulkhead damaged in recent
and past storms.
DAVID J. DEMONT
Beaufort County
Project Setting
Dr. David J. De Mont proposes to repair and replace ±114' of bulkhead at his property
located on SR 1776 (Snake Island Rd.) adjacent to the Pungo River and Wright Creek near Belhaven
in Beaufort County, North Carolina. The property is bordered on the west by Wright Creek, and a
small area of Coastal Wetlands adjacent to a manmade boat basin, and on the east by a residentially
developed lot with a house and an old bulkhead. The adjacent property owners have obtained a
CAMA and Dredge and Fill General Permit to replace their bulkhead, lost to Tropical Storm Dennis.
The house on the applicant's property was severely damaged in Hurricane Bonnie, and the applicant
wishes to demolish the remaining structure.
The applicant owns a 0.26 acre lot at the point where Wright Creek joins the Pungo River in
an area called Dave Moore Point. The property has historically undergone significant erosion that was
accelerated during recent and past hurricanes. The erosion is evident from a defined erosion scarp
and loss of land behind a remnant bulkhead. The applicant proposes to repair a section of the old
bulkhead that was damaged during the 1999 storms, and to construct a new section of bulkhead to
tie into his neighbor's bulkhead alignment. Tropical Storm Dennis removed a section of bulkhead that
bordered the area eroded in past storms. The applicant proposes to replace the storm damaged
section of bulkhead, and then align the new bulkhead with the neighbor's bulkhead and the repaired
bulkhead on his property.
The area adjacent to the house is vegetated with various upland grasses, which continue
toward the water's edge. In the areas effected by erosion, the grasses were washed away, leaving bare
areas of clay. There is a ±680 ft2 area of Coastal Wetlands in the northeast corner of the property,
but it is outside of the proposed fill area.
Project Description
The applicant proposes to repair and replace ±114' of bulkhead damaged by recent and past
storms. The project area has had an historic erosion problem that has been accelerated by the storms.
The proposed bulkhead will have a maximum alignment of 24' waterward of Normal Water Level
(NWL) at the east end where damage was caused by Tropical Storm Dennis, and a maximum
alignment of 13' waterward of NWL at the west end. The west end of the proposed alignment will
tie into the bulkhead alignment permitted for the adjacent property owner.
Anticipated Impacts
The project as proposed will result in the filling of approximately 1,092 ft2 of river bottom,
and shallow water habitat. Localized turbidity increases will result from construction activities.
Tracey L. Wheeler - 1 November 1999
David J. DeMont - Narrative Description of the Project and
Construction Methods

I am seeking a Ma*or Development Permit to restore my bulkhead
which was damaged in the last twelve months: Hurricane Georges after it
exited from the South Carolina coast on the first and second of October in
1998, Dennis as it moved into North Carolina an then returned, and Floyd
when it came ashore on September 16, 1999. Also, previous damage was,
done to the bulkhead by Hurricanes Fran and Bonny and which will be part
of the project. The damage done in the different periods is illustrated in
Plat 1. in the application.
If I obtain the permit, I plan to replace 112 ft of the damaged
bulkhead.with another wooden bulkhead using salt-treated (2.5) lumber for
the posts and boards. Their will be three layers of overlapping boards
with landscape fabric between the boards and on the back of the bulkhead
will be set back from the damaged bulkhead to make a straight alignment
with my neighbors bulkhead. The work will be done by a competent local
bulkhead builder. The project will require back-filling immediately after
the bulkhead is in place (shored up and tied back). I have estimated that
74 cubic yards of back-fill will be needed to fill the space below the NWL.
Some upland top soil will be brought to the site to shape the slopes and
plant grass.

David J. DeMont - Directions to my property.
My property is located at the tip of Dave Moore Point where Wrights
Creek joins the Pungo River. From Washington, N.C. take Hwy 264 to Hwy
92. Proceed through Bath. Hwy 92 becomes Hwy 99 when you pass the
ferry. Continue to Ransomville where you will take the left fork
(SR 1722) when Hwy 99 turns left toward Belhaven. Continue to
Winsteadville and turn right at the crossroad (SR 1725) toward Pamlico
Beach (5 miles). When you pass two small churches on your left, be
prepared to slow down. At the baseball back stop, turn left, pass the dump
on your left and turn left on the gravel road (SR 1776). This is the road to
Peninsula Harbor (Snake Island). At the end of the County Road, turn right
and then left in front of the cottage with the brick facade. You will see
my ruined white cinderblock house at the end of the drive.
See also the map of the original layout of the lots in ,the Peninsula
Harbor tract which is attached to this sheet.
