APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Dear Mr. and Ms. O'Corr:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 0.04 acre of waters
in order to construct a stone sill for shoreline stabilization on your property in Craven County, as described in your
application dated 19 July 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 maybe 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
conforming 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,

SUBJECT: MODIFICATION TO STATE PERMIT #42-00, ISSUED TO THE NC
COASTAL FEDERATION AND NC SEA GRANT
DONNA D. MOFFITT..
DIRECTOR DATE: July 17, 2'000
Please find attached a modification to the above mentioned CAMA Major Permit. As
you may recall, this permit was issued on March 22, 2000, as a blanket authorization to
allow for the installation of "experimental" shoreline stabilization projects. The intent is
to document the effectiveness of these methods over the traditional vertical bulkhead. A
brief description of the proposals and site characteristics follow:
1) Jerry and Anne O'Corr
114 Johnson Point Rd.
New Bern, NC
SITE CHARACTERISTICS:
Water Quality - SB sw NSW
Shellfish - No Resource
PNA - No
Land Use Plan - Developed, Conservation within AEC
This is a residential site in the Johnson Point area of south New Bern. The property has
a steep back yard, periodically ponding in the lower areas, evidently from stormwater
and groundwater seepage. Within this area, there are scattered federal wetland
species, mixed within a predominance of lawn vegetation. Bald Cypress grows along
the river shoreline. There is a rock revetment currently, 20'- 30' landward of the normal
water contour. There are two rock groins existing as well, extending 10'- 20' waterward
of the normal water contour. The Neuse River shoreline in the vicinity of this project site
is very sandy. There are exposed Bald Cypress roots, indicating some erosive activity.

PROPOSAL:
The proposal is to construct a stone (granite) sill, approximately 176' in length, and 8'
average in bottom width. This structure is different than the other proposed NCCF sills in
that it will only be sloped on the waterward side. The landward side of the structure will be
somewhat perpendicular to the base, supporting and supported by the fill behind the sill.
This was a change made to the proposal by the property owner, to minimize the cost of the
project. The sill will begin on the north side of the property, straddling the normal water line,
and continue for 126' in this location. Between the two existing groins, for the last 50' of
structure, the sill will continue in somewhat the same alignment, but the water line cuts in
such that the sill's location will extend as much as 15' waterward of this contour. There is a
5' "drop down" area 75' into the proposed structure, to allow for water circulation. In order to
stabilize the shoreline with vegetation, sand and topsoil will be used to fill the area landward
of the sill, and suitable wetland and upland species will be planted.
POTENTIAL IMPACTS:
Direct impacts will be from the loss of bottom area in the amount of approximately 1408
square feet of rock, another 250 square feet below the normal high water line of sandy fill,
and another 4400 square feet of sandy beach subject only to irregular flooding. Potentially,
there could be turbidity during the construction phase, as well as during the period between
planting and such time as the vegetation has a stabilizing effect on the sediment.
******* Please see the field report dated December 23, 1999, associated with permit
#42-00, for additional information. Included in that report were standard conditions to
be included with all 30 of these proposals. For any additional precautions or
conditions you feel should be included, please comment directly to Doug Huggett.

May 5, 2000
Dear Ms. Barrett:
Attached please find the site-specific application information for a project for consideration
under the blanket permit (42-00), issued on 3/22/00. In accordance with our understanding from the
permit and coordination meetings for this project, please find:
1) Completed Certification and Permission to Enter on Land (#6) from the CAMA

3) Notification of adjacent property owner form(s) with USPO certified mailing receipt.
4) $50.00 permit modification fee.
5) Copy of deed or other evidence of property ownership.
In summary, the project involves the construction of approximately 176 feet of granite sill,
back filling with clean sandy material and and planting of the entire shoreline with suitable wetlands
and upland native vegetation.
It is our understanding that Division of Coastal Management will forward the completed
permit application to the necessary State and Federal regulatory and review agencies. It is also our
understanding that the extensive coordination and planning period for this blanket permit will allow
for an expedited review period and decision-making process within approximately 15 days, as was
agreed- upon during our coordination meetings.
If you would like to arrange for a site meeting for this project, please contact me (910)343-

RE: Ocorr Major Permit Modification
Dear Tere:
Attached please find the revised drawing for the Ocorr project in New Bern. As we
discussed, the only modification to the drawing is a reduction in stone volume (approximately %2
the amount originally shown on the 4/5/00 drawing) to provide a cost savings for the property
owner. The alignment and the overall fill footprint remains unchanged from our original request.
Thanks very much for your help on this and our other blanket permit projects. I hope that you
see daylight at the end of the tunnel soon.
Sincerely,
Tracy E. Skrabal
