The inspection and subsequent review of your activity, revealed that fill material has been placed in wetlands. A review of DWQ (Division of Water Quality) files and discussions with Allen Davis of the Corps of Engineers confirm that no 401 Certification and no 404 permit has been issued for this activity, a requirement pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0500. The filling of wetlands for road crossings of streams without a 401 Water Quality Certification represents wetland standards violations. Specifically, 15A NCAC 2B .023(b) (1) and (5) which states the following: 1) Liquids, fill or other solids or dissolved gases may not be present in amounts which may cause adverse impacts on existing wetland uses; 5) Hydrological conditions necessary to support the biological and physical characteristics naturally present in wetlands shall be protected to prevent adverse impacts on: C) The chemical, nutrient and dissolved oxygen regime of the wetland; 127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, NC 28405 Telephone (910) 395-3900 FAX (910) 350-2004 Hugh Dwayne and Patricia Price May 11, 2001 Page Two D) The movement of aquatic fauna; F) Water levels or elevations.

In-your application, you also proposed to add fill in Zones 1 and 2 of protected Tar-Pamlico Buffers in order to increase the elevation of a soccer field. Fill shall be allowed but must be limited to Zone 2 of the Tar-Pamlico Buffer and must not extend into Zone 1. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3274, which can also be viewed on our web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands . This Certification allows you to use your CAMA Permit when it is issued by the NC Division of Coastal Management. This approval is also valid for the Neuse River Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 213 .0259). 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, 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 and the additional conditions listed below: 1. Fill within Tar-Pamlico Buffers associated with the soccer field is allowed only in Zone 2. No fill in Zone 1 is permitted; 2. An additional condition is that stormwater shall be directed to diffuse flow at non-erosive velocities through the protected stream buffers. 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.

PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to stabilize -1-1,650' of shoreline with `ock riprap d backfill to the 3' elevation contour and refurbish and extend 3 existing rock jetties and add 1 to a soccer field to increase the elevation. 1 OK Town of Washington Park Beaufort County Environmental Setting The applicant is the Town of Washington Park which is located in Beaufort County. A portion of town property comprises the town park known as Riverfront Park and it lies adjacent to both the Pamlico River and Runyon Creek. Riverfront Park encompasses approximately 2,300 feet of linear shoreline with ±450 feet in the center along the Pamlico River belonging to private land owners. The park averages 100' in width and can be divided into 3 distinct zones: 1) The area immediately adjacent to the Pamlico River is vegetated with cypress trees and a sporadic fringe of Spartina patens is present on the crest of the various sand overwash areas. Exposed tree roots and erosion escarpments show evidence of erosion between the sand overwash areas. Two brick bulkheads (102' and 105' long respectively) exist on the project site. Two 10' long rock jetties and a 15' long rock jetty are present at the eastern end on the park. 2) The area from the shore landward to ±50' is vegetated with mixed pines, various hardwoods, vines, and upland grasses. 3) The landward most portion of the project site is maintained lawn grass and in the widest section (±150') a soccer field exist. The soccer field has subsided in the last 5 years and it is ponding water during major storm events. The project site is bordered on the east (downstream). side be a developed lot with a dwelling and maintained lawn. The upstream (north) end of Riverfront Park terminates at the NC 32 bridge crossing of Runyon Creek. The Pamlico River at the project site has been classified as SC-NSW by the Environmental Management Commission and is closed to shell fishing. Project Proposal The Town of Washington Park is proposing to stabilize the shoreline by installing 11,650' of rock rip averaging 5' waterward of the normal water level (NWL). The area landward of the new riprap will be filled to the 3' elevation contour. The upland area to be filled averages 15.7' in width with a range of 5' to a maximum of 30'. At the east end of the park, the applicant proposes to rock around 5 individual cypress trees in an effort to offer protection in future storm events. This rock will extend a maximum of 15' waterward of the NWL. The existing brick bulkheads are to be stabilized with rock riprap that will project 6' below the NWL in these two areas. The applicant proposes to extend the 3 existing rock jetties to a total of 25' waterward of the NWL. The refurbished jetties will have.a base width of 9' with a 3:1 slope and a 1' projection above the NWL. The existing PVC dry hydrant pipe at the east end of the project site is to be removed. The existing soccer field will be leveled by adding ±1' of earthen fill in a ±120' by ±83' area and reseeding. Town of Washington Park Page Two Environmental Impact The project as proposed will result in the filling of ±7,995 ft' of river bottom associated with the placement of the riprap and jetty extensions. Some short term turbidity is probable as a result of the riprap installation and rock jetty extensions. The backfilling and upland impact will result in a disturbance of (35,865 ft2 of high ground.

The town is seeking an approved permit to stabilize the shoreline along Riverfront Park, which has . experienced isolated erosion; and create a level soccer field. The project can be divided into four segments: Site One - placement of stone riprap to stabilize existing brick bulkhead Site Two - extension of three existing rock groins to 25' from shoreline, and filling of existing highground to create level soccer field Site Three - stabilize existing brick bulkhead by placing rock riprap in front of structure, and removing the existing pipe that extends into the river Stabilize the entire shoreline along the Pamlico River (1,650' linear - existing brick bulkheads included) by placing rock riprap along the existing shoreline and backfilling to the 3' contour interval on land; additional stabilization of isolated trees with riprap (1' above the NWL) Site One The town proposes to place stone riprap (NCDOT Class Two) 6' wide around the existing 102' brick bulkhead. The rocks will create an "L" around the upstream "L' of the bulkhead, as you suggested (see drawings). Site Two There are three existing rock groins that extend from the shore. Two are 10' from shore; the other is 15'. All three extend approximately 1' above East Carolina University is a constituent institution of the University of North Carolina. An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. the normal water level. The town wishes to extend these groins so that they all are 25' from the shore. This will stabilize the area and hopefully, in time, create a small breach area for the enjoyment of the town citizenry. At present, the park has a soccer field, which is not level. This application proposes to fill the contiguous low area (120'x83') to a depth of 1', thereby insuring good footing and a level playing field. Fill material will come from an approved upland source and be spread by tractor. (see drawings) Site Three There is an existing brick bulkhead (105' long) that the town proposes to stabilize. A, 6' wide band of NCDOT Class Two stone riprap will encompass the outside of the bulkhead and wrap around the existing "L's" on each end. The town would like to place the same riprap material starting15' from the property line of Dorothy Scott and continue upstream for 800' along the shoreline. Also, starting at a point 15' from property of Zeno Edwards, the town wishes to extend a rock riprap 850' downstream to a point 15' from the property of Henry Rumley (see drawing). In addition, the town proposes to protect a few isolated trees that extend out from the shore by placing the riprap around the trees to a depth of 1' above the NWL. This riprap will tie into the riprap that stabilizes the shoreline. All riprap slopes will be 3:1. The above activities will enhance the use of the Riverfront Park and provide a stable shoreline. Thank you for your favorable consideration of these needed improvements. Should you have any questions, please feel free to call me at (252)-328-6650 XT 226.
