Dear W. Domey:
Please reference your letter of November 20, 1999 to Mr. Thomas Faulkner regarding the above
cited project. (By the way, I did not receive a copy of this as stated)
Consideration has been given to various configurations for the placement of W. Faulkner'; house
on this lot in such a manner as to fit between the CAMA AEC line and the 30-foot street set-back; this
distance is about 110 foist, The distance from the CAMA line to the small pocket of wetlands is about 85
feet, Although it may be possible to slightly reduce the area of wetland IM because of the actual house, the
remaining wetlands will be adversely impacted by the close proximity to the house and driveway and will
be essentially eliminated in function. Note that this wetland pocket has emerged primarily because the
downstream culvert has become silted and blocked (which it is currently); and when a house is built, this
culvert must be completely cleaned out to assure against the flooding of the lot and house. 'When the
culvert Is cleaned out, the water Dow will have a straight shot out of the present wetland area, and the
wetland system, created by the silted culvert, will essentially dry up. In summary, it is believed that W
alternative house, configuration on this lot, all ofwhich would necessitate the cleaning out of the culvert,
would result in the elimination of this small area of wetlands. It was this reasoning that led to our request
for the disturbance of alt of the 3600 SgFt of wetland area.
I hope this information will be helpful to you. Please contact me if you have any questions.

APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Mr. Thomas Faulkner
Post Office Box 1673
Blowing Rock, North Carolina 28605
Dear Mr. Faulkner:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill material in 0.08 acres
of wetlands or waters for the purpose of residential development as, described in your application dated 29 September, 1999 with
an additional letter dated 15 December, 1999. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by
General Water Quality Certification Number 3106. This certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 18 when the
Corps of Engineers issues it. 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
Water shed 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 you may be required 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. Deed notifications- or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all lots with remaining jurisdictional wetlands and waters or areas
within 50 feet of all streams and ponds to notify the state in order- to assure compliance for future wetland and/or water impact.
These mechanisms shall be put in place within 30 days of the date of this letter or the issuance of the 404 Permit (whichever is
later).
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 Domey at 919-733-9646.

Eric,
I'm not impressed with the reasoning, but I am also not going to live in
it. There is a fairly deep wetland on the other side of the road that
drains towards the house byway of the culverts, could that possibly cause
future problems? Since they are not asking for over 1/3 acre nor has the
subdivision done over its acre, I don't see how we can say no to this
one.

CERTIFIED MAIL-RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
Mr. Thomas Faulkner
Post Office Box 1673
Blowing Rock, North Carolina 28605
Dear Mr. Faulkner:
The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your plans for the discharge of fill material into 0.08
acres of streams and/or wetlands located at Lot 4, The Village at Camp Morehead by the Sea in Carteret
County for residential lot fill. Based on this review, we have identified significant uses, which would be
removed or degraded by this project. Insufficient evidence is present in our files to conclude that your
project must be built as planned in waters and/or wetlands in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0506.
Therefore, unless modifications of the proposal are made as described below, we will have to move toward
denial of your 401 Certification as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0507(e) and will place this project on hold
as incomplete until we receive this additional information, we are requesting (by copy of this letter) that the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers place your project on administrative hold.
Please provide us with information supporting your position that states your project must be
constructed as planned and that you have no practicable alternative to placing fill in these waters and/or
wetlands. Specifically can you locate your home further from the drainage way and still in the front of the
lot to minimize future impacts? Any documentation such as maps and narrative that you can supply to
address alternative designs for your project may be helpful in our review of your 401 Certification. Also
this project will require compensatory mitigation as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506(h). Your mitigation
proposal is insufficient because none was proposed.
Please respond within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending a copy of this information to
me and one copy to Ms. Joanne Steenhuis, Wilmington Regional Office at 127 Cardinal Drive Extension,
Wilmington, North Carolina 28405-2004. If we do not hear from you in three weeks, we will assume that
you no longer want to pursue this project and we will consider the project as withdrawn. I can be reached at
919-733-9646 if you have any questions.
