Dear Mr. and Mrs. Wightman:
Reference your application for a Department of the Army permit to reconstruct a marine
railway with docks, and construct a bulkhead with rip rap armor on Cape Fear River in
Wilmington, New Hanover County, North Carolina.
Your proposal has been reviewed and found to be consistent with the provisions and
objectives of general permit No. 198000291. Therefore, you may commence construction activity
in strict accordance with applicable State authorization and the enclosed plan. Failure to comply
with the State authorization or conditions of the general permit could result in civil and/or
administrative penalties.
Please be advised that the following is a condition of this DA permit:
The permittee understands and agrees that, if future operations by the United States
require the removal, relocation, or other alteration, of the structure or work herein authorized, or
if, in the opinion of the Secretary of the Army or his authorized representative, said structure or
work shall cause unreasonable obstruction to the free navigation of the navigable waters, the
permittee will be required, upon due notice from the Corps of Engineers, to remove, relocate, or
alter the structural work or obstructions caused thereby, without expense to the United States. No
claim shall be made against the United States on account of any such removal or alteration.
If any change in your work is required because of unforeseen or altered conditions or for
any other reason, plans revised to show the change must be sent promptly to this office and the
North Carolina Division of Coastal Management prior to performing any such change or
alteration. Such action is necessary as revised plans must be reviewed and the authorization
modified.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Jeff Richter at telephone [phone].

APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Dear Mr. and Ms. Wightman:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place rip rap in 0.07 acre of non-
vegetated wetlands in order to construct an historical shipyard wharf in New Hanover County as described in your
application dated 12 April 2000. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by
General Water Quality Certification Number 3112. This Certification allows to use your CAMA Permit when the
NC Division of Coastal Management 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 Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire when the
accompanying 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 you may be required to send us a new application for a new certification, If
the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the 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.
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 919-733-9646.
Sincerely,
Steve s

Page 2
9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is located adjacent to the Cape Fear River, approximately 200 yards north of the Cape Fear
Memorial Bridge, at 1 Church Street, in downtown Wilmington, in New Hanover County. The one acre
property is the applicant's private residence. Historically, the property was the site of Cassidey Shipyard, which
was known for building wooden ships during the Civil War. The applicant has included in his application,
information chronicling the history of the historic shipyard. The applicant has completed restoration of the house,
which is listed on the historical register as the Cassidey-Harper House. The property includes approximately 208
feet of river frontage. The house site has an elevation of +30 feet above mean sea level, with the lawn sloping
to the normal water level embankment at the river's edge. Waterward of the river bank there is a grid of old
pilings, remnants of the wharf and marine railway from the historical shipyard. There is a single patch of wetland
vegetation (Snartina alte iflora), approximately 10 feet long and 6 feet wide, that has colonized at the edge of
the old piling stubs.
The Cape Fear River is approximately 1000 feet wide at the project site. It's waters are classified as'SC by the
NC Division of Water Quality. There are no shellfish resources in the project area. At the.project site,. the Cape
Fear River is a designated Primary Nursery Area (PNA), by the NC Division :of Marine Fisheries. The
highground portion of the project is classified as "Developed" by the Wilmington-New :Hanover Land Use Plan.
The CAMA Areas of Environmental Concern and any area located in the 100wyear flood plain are considered to
be classified as "Conservation".
The applicant proposes to stabilize his shoreline with the construction of a wooden bulkhead at approximately
the normal water level and landward of the small patch of marsh grass. The wall would be 208 feet in length and
it would tie into existing walls on adjacent properties. Stone rip rap would be installed to armor the toe of the
new wall, five (5) feet waterward of the new bulkhead. The applicant would reconstruct the dock to the
approximate dimensions of the original wharf and marine railway used at the Cassidey Shipyard. The proposed
structure would consist of a U-shaped wharf. The outer platform would be 144 feet long and 20 feet wide,
accessed from the new bulkhead by a pier, 70 feet long and 14 feet wide. The inner platform would be triangular
and would be located along the southern half of the bulkhead. It would be 86 feet long and 46 feet wide tapering
to zero as it returned to the bulkhead. The structure would be located within the harbor line of the adjacent
federal channel.
ANTICIPATED TM CIS
The proposed reconstruction of the historical Cassidey Shipyard wharf and marine railway would incorporate
approximately 6558 square feet of estuarine waters and public trust area. River bottom disturbance and temporary
turbidity increases would be associated with the reconstruction of the wharf. The construction of the bulkhead and
rip rap would incorporate 1049 square feet of shallow bottom. The project would provide a replica of the historical
Cassidey Shipyard waterfront.

Mr. John Domey
Division of Water Quality

Environment and Natural Resources

Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1162
Dear Mr. Dorney:
Reference the application of John W. and Christine B. Wightman for Department of the
Army authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to reconstruct a marine railway with
docks, and construct a bulkhead with rip rap armor on Cape Fear River in Wilmington, New
Hanover 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 June 17, 2000,
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
Regulatory Project Manager
