APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
County of Dare Water Department
c/o Randy McPhee
PO Box 1000
Manteo, NC 27954
Dear Sirs:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to fill 0.04 acres of
wetlands in Dare County for the purpose of utility building construction as you described in your application received
by the Division of Water Quality on October 24, 2000. 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. 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.
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.

11. IF CONSTRUCTION OF A POND IS PROPOSED, WHAT IS THE SIZE OF THE WATERSHED
DRAINING TO THE POND? WHAT IS THE EXPECTED POND SURFACE AREA?
12. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED WORK INCLUDING DISCUSSION OF TYPE OF MECHANICAL
EQUIPMENT TO BE USED? (ATTACH PLANS; 8 1/2 BY 11 DRAWINGS ONLY) A bulldozer will
be used to push material for filling the site. A backhoe will be used to move the fill
around the site. A 70-ton crane will deliver the 12'x24' precast concrete building
onto the subject site. A low-boy will be used to transport equipment onto and off
of the site.
About 4-feet of unsuitable material will be removed beneath the buildin_c footprint
and replaced with a bridge lift consisting of a granular material (sand or washed
No. 57 or 67 stone). The bridge lift is needed to obtain a firm subbase. We
anticipate that a 5 foot bridge lift will be constructed. Upon completion of the
bridge lift, a 2-foot laver of compacted fill will be placed. The fill should be placed
in 8 to 10 inches loose and compacted 6 inches. Fill should be compacted to 95
percent of a standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 698). The concrete
mat footing will rest on the 2-foot compacted fill laver. Masonry walls will be
constructed to about 8 feet in height and rest on the mat footing. Fill (sand) will
be placed between the four masonry walls to provide support of a concrete slab
that the building will rest on. Fill should be compacted as stated above.
13. PURPOSE OF PROPOSED WORK: Cellular tower co-location on the Duck water tower.
The building is required for operation of the new antenna.
14. STATE REASONS WHY IT IS BELIEVED THAT THIS ACTIVITY MUST BE CARRIED OUT IN
WETLANDS (INCLUDE ANY MEASURES TAKEN TO MINIMIZE WETLAND
IMPACTS) Custom Building Company is avoiding major impacts by co-locating on
the water tower, thus not requiring the construction of a new tower. Once the
water tower was identified for co-location, analysis began on the location of the
required 12x24 ft. utility building. The original location for the building was to the
south of the tower, near the small canal between the county's land and the
adiacent commercial development. However, in order for the building to be
constructed at that location wetland fill would have been required for the entire
building. In addition, this location was in close proximity to the aforementioned
canal, which is fed by Currituck Sound. The building's location was moved to the
northwest corner of the property to minimize the wetland impacts as well as to
keep it away from Currituck Sound. The present location is on the edge of
iurisdictional wetlands and as far from Currituck Sound as is feasible.
