APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Dear Mr. Sobora:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill in 0.007 acre of vegetated and
non-vegetated wetlands in order to construct a bulkhead on your property in Dare County, as you described in your
application dated 3 May 2000. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this work is covered by
General Water Quality Certification Number 3274. This Certification allows you 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,
Kerr T. Stevens

Field Investigation Report

Site Description
The applicant's property is a 8,405 sq. ft. vacant lot located at #177 Freebooter Court
(SR 1426) Brigands Bay Subdivision. Frisco Village, in Dare Countv and adjacent to a
manmade canal off the Pamlico Sound. The lot has an elevation of approximately 4 ft. above
normal water level (NWL) and has sandv soils. The lot is vegetated with pine, wax myrtle and
indigenous grasses. Adjacent property consists of similar sized lots. Neither lot is developed:
however. a bulkhead has been authorized for the west side lot. The property has a shoreline of
approximately 66 ft. along the canal. The shoreline is vegetated with Juncus roenierianus at
the NWL and alon, the existing canal bank which is approximately 2 ft. above the NWL. The
Juncus fringe varies from 2-3 ft. in width at the NWL. Shoreline erosion appears to be less
than 1 ft. per year. The waters of the Pamlico Sound are classified as SA by the Division of
Environmental Management and are closed to shellfish taking.
Development Proposal
In order to protect his shoreline and prevent flooding, the applicant proposes to construct
a 66 ft. long treated wooden bulkhead an average distance of 2 ft. water%vard of the existing
shoreline and to hackfill landNvard of the proposed bulkhead. The proposed bulkhead will
connect at the corner with the permitted bulkhead on the adjacent lot to the west and will have
a straight alignment. The maximum distance water«ard of the canal shoreline for the proposed
bulkhead is 3 ft.
Anticipated Impacts
The development proposal will result in approximately 130 sq. ft. of Public Trust Area
and Estuarine Waters Areas of Environmental Concern (AFC's) being filled and approximately
165 sq. ft. of Coastal Wetlands AEC being filled. Approximately 3 cu. yds. of fill material
will be placed below NWL in conjunction with the backfilling of the bulkhead. Temporary
water turbidity will occur during construction. It is anticipated that approximately 1,320 sq.
ft. of Estuarine Shoreline AEC will be filled or disturbed by the construction process.
