Mr. Mike McGee
US Dept of Interior
Cape Lookout National Seashore
131 Charles Street
Markers Island, NC 28531
Dear Mr. McGee:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to dredge 135,600 square feet of waters for
the purpose of maintenance dredging an access channel into Morris Fish Camp or North Cove Bank as described in your application dated
October 20, 2000. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number
339. 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.
If any muck is encountered during the dredging it shall not be placed on the beach without treatment to prevent turbidity problems
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.

the shape of the dunes. To match the adjacent less "storm-damaged" dunes, the base of the
reestablished dunes would be approximately 90' in width and 13' to 15' in height. According
to the applicant, the dredge would run from mid-December to mid-March to avoid periods of
high biological activity. After placement of the material, the dunes would be stabilized with
sand fencing and planted with dune grasses.
Anticipated Impacts
The proposed dredging would affect approximately 243,600 ft' of shallow estuarine
waters/channel bottom. Approximately 18,000 yds3 of fine/medium sand would be removed
from the channel and basin. Since this project is maintenance of an existing and regularly
traversed channel, the dredging should have minimal impact to the SAV and shellfish habitat
in the area. Of course this is so long as the dredge remains in the existing channel.
Approximately 108,000 ft2 of sandy beach/derelict frontal dune area would be disturbed. The
dune ridge would be reestablished as a result of the placement of the material on the beach.
Such dune reconstruction efforts would provide additional protection to the Long Point Cabin
area.
