APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Dear Mr. Roome:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill in 0..08 acre of wetlands in
order to place a new bulkhead, pier and gazebo platform on your property in Dare County, as you described in your
application dated 16 June 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,
';r? -??

Joseph A. Roome, Perquimans, County
FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT
Page 2
Site Description
The proposal site is located on lot 1140 in Albemarle Plantation at the end of Yeopim Creek
Drive near the intersection of Franks and Yeopim Creeks in Perquimans County.
As is the case with this site, most of the shoreline of Franks Creek has a wetland fringe near
or at the NWL. The proposal site is a pie shaped 1.5 acre lot which includes approximately
350 ft. of natural shoreline. Approximately 0.7 of an acre of the site has been delineated as
freshwater wetlands by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The shoreline and wetland areas are
vegetated in an over-story of cypress, red maple, sweet gum and tupelo gum and an under-
story of ivor, wax myrtle and green ash. Ground cover and emergents include iris, lizard's tai 1
and arrowhead. Approximately one-half of the shoreline of this lot is vegetated in freshwater
wetland species. Both sides of this lot slope off to freshwater wetland areas to the north and
south. The lot elevation ranges from NWL to about 10 ft. above the NWL. The upland
portion of the tract is vegetated in upland grasses. various hardwoods and loblolly pine. A
single family residential home is currently under construction on the site. The shorelines of
both adjacent lots are natural and not stabilized with any hardened structures.
The waters of Franks Creek are not open to commercial shellfish harvest and are classified as
Inland Waters by the North Carolina Marine Fisheries and Wildlife Resources Commissions.
These waters also are designated by the Coastal Resources Commission as Public Trust Area.
Franks Creek is noted as a spawning area for anadromous fish species. Franks Creek is a
tributary to Yeopim Creek and is approximately 500 ft. wide in the vicinity of this proposal.
The applicant reports that the water depths in this vicinity of Franks Creek are -4.0 ft. at a
point 100 ft. waterward of the NWL. Other piers currently exist in the vicinity of this
proposal and extend 20 to 30 ft. beyond the NWL.
Project Propml
This proposal concerns the construction of 275 feet of bulkhead shoreline stabilization and an
80 foot by 6 foot pier with a 20 foot by 20 foot platform. The proposed platform also includes
an 144 sf. gazebo and associated mooring piles for two slips. This project also includes the
filling of 0.08 of an acre of freshwater wetlands along the shoreline of Franks Creek.
The applicant proposes to construct a bulkhead shoreline stabilization structure along the
NWL, as well as an elevated walkway, pier and platform with a gazebo and two mooring
slips. The proposed bulkhead will be constructed of treated wood and extend between three
and five ft. in elevation height above the NWL. The proposed bulkhead alignment will
approximate the NWL with a 2 ft. maximum alignment.
The proposed pier will include a six ft. wide elevated walkway across a 60 ft. wide wetland
area and extend 80 ft. into Franks Creek. The pier structure will be 6 ft. in width and include
a 20 ft. by 20 ft. platform at the end of the pier with a 16 ft. by 20 ft. mooring slip on both
sides of the platform. The platform will also include a 12 ft. diameter gazebo centered on the
platform.
Joseph A. Roome, Perquimans, County
FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT
Page 3
This project also involves the placement of 322 cy. of fill over 0.08 of an acre of US
Army Corps of Engineers jurisdictional wetlands adjacent to and landward of the waters of
Franks Creek and the proposed bulkhead alignment. This fill will be brought to the site from
an upland source.
Anticipated Impacts
The proposed bulkhead alignment location will approximate the NWL and the structure will
result in the placement of little or no fill in the adjacent shallow water habitat; however. the
bulkhead backfill area, along with the applicant's proposal to fill adjacent and landward
wetlands not direcoy ated to the bulkhead backfill area. would result in the filling of 0.08 of
an acre Qf"freshwater`*etlands. This filling activity would remove that associated area of
habitat and flood capacity along Franks Creek. The proposed shoreline stabilization and
filling activity will result in an increase in turbidity levels along this portion of Franks Creek.
The placement of a bulkhead structure along this shoreline will probably result in alteration of
the shallow water habitat bottom adiacent to the bulkhead alignment. The placement of a
bulkhead structure at this site will also increase erosion potential on the neighboring riparian
lots.
The proposed walkway, pier and platform will result in shading of 360 sf. of freshwater
wetlands and 880 sf. of shallow water habitat and Public Trust Area. The proposed pier and
slips will not extend beyond the one-fourth width cif Franks Creek. Since few piers exist in this
vicinity of Franks Creek. the placement of this structure may present some increase in
navigational hazards to boaters. skiers and watermen. However. it is not anticipated that this
would result in anv significant adverse impact and the use of hazard or structure markinc
indicators could reduce this nsk. There are no proposed impervious surfaces within 30 feet o f
the NWL.

District Engineer
ATTN: Mr. Raleigh Bland
Washington Regulatory Field Office
Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers
P.O. Box 1000
Washington, North Carolina 27889
SUBJ: Joseph A. Roome
Action I.D. No. 200011214
Dear Colonel DeLony:
This is in response to the above referenced State Field Investigation Report (Report),
dated June 19, 2000. According to the Report, the permit application is for the proposed
construction of a pier and gazebo platform, bulkhead shoreline stabilization and filling of 0.08
acres. The project area is along Franks Creek, Perquimans County, North Carolina. No
mitigation is proposed.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has reviewed this proposal and sees no
evidence that there was any attempt to avoid or minimize the impact generated by the project.
Prior to a discharge of fill material into waters of the United States, the 404(b)(1) Guidelines of
the Clean Water Act require a sequential evaluation and reduction in impact. By Memorandum
of Agreement (MOA) between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) and EPA dated
February 6, 1990, this sequencing may be circumvented when the Corps and EPA agree that the
proposed discharge is either necessary to avoid environmental harm, or can be reasonably
expected to result in environmental gain or insignificant environmental loss. At this point in
time, we have not agreed that this project meets these requirements. It appears that there may be
other project designs which will not cause such a significant impact to wetlands and waters of the
U.S.
It is the opinion of EPA that this project, as proposed, may result in substantial and
unacceptable impacts to aquatic resources of national importance. This design does not avoid,
minimize or compensate for the proposed impacts, and therefore appears contrary to the
404(b)(1) Guidelines of the Clean Water Act (Guidelines).
The water classification in the project area is SC, but is closed to shellfishing. Also, the
area is determined to be a spawning area for anadromous fishes. These areas and their functions
1v..'Ir
2
are extremely important to North Carolina in terms of water quality, water quantity, commercial
and recreational fin- and shellfish production, sediment stabilization, and wildlife habitat and
food chain maintenance. EPA is concerned about the potential significant secondary impacts to
water quality from this project and the cumulative impacts of docks and other hardened
structures along waterways, especially those classified as spawning area. The adjacent properties
do not have hardened structures, and EPA has concerns that the authorization of a bulkhead on
the subject property may cause erosion on adjacent shorelines and/or encourage adjacent property
owners to also request authorization for a bulkhead.
EPA does not object to the authorization of a pier and platform, however, we recommend
denial of authorization for the bulkhead and fill in wetlands. Further, EPA believes that the -
proposed gazebo is not a water-dependent structure, and should not be permitted.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project. If you have any questions or
comments, please contact Kathy Matthews, of my staff, at [phone].

Dear Mr. Roome:
On August 5, 1996, we renewed General Permit No. 198000291 (copy enclosed), which
provides Federal authorization for construction activities that receive authorization from the
State of North Carolina.
A review of your application received June 14, 2000, for Department of the Army (DA)
authorization to place fill material within freshwater wetlands and construct a bulkhead and
a pier, on property located at Lot 40 of the Albemarle Plantation Subdivision, at the terminus of
Yeopim Creek Drive, adjacent to Franks Creek and Yeopim Creek, in Perquimans County, North
Carolina, indicates it to be a candidate for Federal authorization under this general permit.
Accordingly, the administrative processing of your application will be accomplished by the North
Carolina Division of Coastal Management. Comments from Federal review agencies will be
furnished to the State.
If your application must be withdrawn from this general permit process for any reason, you
will be informed regarding its further management. If there are no unresolved differences in
State-Federal positions or policies, the final action taken on your application by the State will
result in your receiving written notice from us that your application is consistent with the general
permit and you may commence your activity. Only after receiving such confirmation should you
begin work.
Your application, pursuant to Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act and Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act, has been assigned Action ID No. 200011214 and will be coordinated by

Please reference the application of Joseph A. Roome for Department of the Army (DA)
authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to place fill material within freshwater
wetlands and construct a bulkhead and a pier, on property located at Lot 40 of the Albemarle
Plantation Subdivision, adjacent to Franks Creek and Yeopim Creek, in Perquimans 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.
In accordance with our administrative regulations, in most cases, 60 days after receipt of a
request for certification is a reasonable time for State action. Therefore, if you have not acted on
the request, or asked for an extension of time, by August 28, 2000, the District Engineer will
deem that waiver has occurred.
