APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Dear Mr. Walsh:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to shade and usurp 0.03 acre of wetlands in
order to extend the pier adjacent to your property in Craven County, as described in your application received by the
Division of Water Quality on October 24, 2001. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered
by General Water Quality Certification Number 3274, which can be downloaded from 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. 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 in writing 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 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 Tom Steffens or Deborah Sawyer in our Washington Regional Office at (252) 946-
6481 or Cyndi Karoly in our Central Office in Raleigh at [phone].

of NWL, add one slip and one lift, and relocate one slip and one lift.
Patrick Walsh
Craven County
Project Setting
The applicant owns a one acre parcel of land adjacent to the Neuse River near New Bern in
Craven County, North Carolina. The property is located approximately six miles south ofNew Bern,
off of US Highway 17. The site is a developed residential property with a single family residence and
an existing pier with a boathouse. The shoreline has been stabilized with a vertical bulkhead,
constructed landward of the normal water level. The lot is vegetated with a few pine trees, mixed
hardwoods, and lawn grasses. There is a sandy beach between the bulkhead and the Neuse River.
The existing pier is 123 ft long, and approximately 5 ft wide. The boathouse is near the
waterward end of the pier structure, and the roof covers two boatlifts and the walkway portion ofthe
pier. There is 10 ft by 12 ft platform waterward of the existing boathouse. There are four slips
currently associated with the pier structure. The boathouse contains two lifts, and there is an existing
slip and boatlift at the end of the pier. A 3 ft by 10 ft catwalk extends from the platform, between the
lift and slip. Water depths at the end of the pier range from 2 to 2.5 ft.
The property is bordered on the north and south by developed residential lots with single
family residences. Both lots are vegetated with a mix of upland grasses, landscaped areas, and
naturally occurring woody vegetation. There is a paved road immediately to the west of the property
that provides access to four residences upstream of the project site. The Neuse River forms the
eastern property line.
The Neuse River is classified SB SW NSW by the Environmental Management
Commission and is not open to shell fishing at this location.
Project Description
The applicant proposes to add a 3 ft wide by 130 ft long extension to his existing pier. He also
wants to reconfigure and add to the slips on his existing pier. He proposes to relocate an existing 12 ft
by 14 ft boatlift to the end of the extension, to install a second 12 ft by 14 ft boatlift at the end of the
pier, to create two 15 ft by 30 ft mooring slips, and to remove an existing 18 ft by 15 ft mooring slip.
The additional length is being requested to allow the applicant to access deeper water. Water depths
at the end of the proposed extension range from 4 to 4.5 ft below normal water level.
Anticipated Impacts
The project as proposed would impact 1,188 ft2. The proposed pier extension would shade
390 ft2, and the additional boat slip and additional boatlift would usurp 798 ft2 of public trust area.
The proposed modification would provide permanent slips' for two additional vessels. Localized
short-term turbidity increases would result from construction activities in the water.
