APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Lilly:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to disturb 0.20 acre of Estuarine and Public
Trust Waters in order to install 26,300 linear feet of fiber optic cable 3' below Currituck Sound between Waterlily and Corolla
in Currituck County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality on November 4, 2003. After
reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3400,
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 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, Water Supply Watershed, Coastal Stormwater and U.S. Coast Guard 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 and the additional conditions listed below:
1. You are required to return the attached Certification of Completion form to notify DWQ when all work included in
the 401 Certification has been completed;

design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect
surface waters standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be
such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow
sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the
project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
3. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the footprint of
the impacts depicted in the Pre-construction Notification. All construction activities, including the design,

3/a " diameter fiber optic cable 3' below the bottom of Currituck Sound between Waterlily and Corolla
within a 4-inch wide trench.
FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT
SPRINT COMMUNICATIONS
PAGE 2
PROJECT SETTING
Sprint Communications seeks authorization to install 26,300 linear feet of 3/a" fiber optic
cable 3' below the bottom contour of Currituck Sound. The continuous cable would extend
from residential property located off Waterlily Road in Coinjock to Currituck County's
Whalehead Club property in Corolla on the Outer Banks. To access the mainland site, turn
east off US Highway 158 onto Waterlily Road (SR 1142) and travel 3.5 miles. The
subaqueous cable would begin on the north end and on the waterward side of the bulkhead
protecting a residentially developed lot at 906 Waterlily Road. To access the Outer Banks site,
turn west off NC 12 onto the Whalehead Club site located just south of the Corolla
Lighthouse. The terminal pole is located 100' from the sound on the south end of the
property.
The waters of Currituck Sound in the vicinity of the project are classified as SC by the
NC Environmental Management Commission. These waters are classified as joint waters by
the NC Marine Fisheries Commission and NC Wildlife Resources Commission and as
Estuarine and Public Trust Waters by the NC Coastal Resources Commission. Bottom contour
in the project area (across the sound) ranges 0.5' - 9.0' below NWL. The presence of
submerged aquatic vegetation was not noted in the vicinity of the project. Review of available
information suggests that there are no known archeological sites or geological formations
associated with the project site; however, the Whalehead Club is listed on the National
Historic Register.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The installation of the 3/a " diameter cable across the sound would be accomplished by
using a barge equipped with an embedment plow. Water under high pressure would be used to
create a narrow 4-inch wide trench. The plow is equipped with a sled designed to glide along
the bottom substrate, thereby minimizing the uplifting of sand/sediment as the jetting/
embedment process is carried out. It is anticipated that the 3'-deep trench with cable at the
bottom would backfill immediately as a result of sand/sediment resettling into it.
Directional boring would be used to install the landward ends of the cable
(approximately 150 linear feet at each end). On the mainland site, at 906 Waterlily Road, the
cable placement is proposed within a 10'-wide easement located entirely within uplands and
immediately landward of an existing bulkhead. At the Whalehead Club site, the applicant has
secured a 20'-wide easement from the County. On this side, the directional bore would begin
within uplands located 100' landward of NWL and terminate 50' offshore where the bottom
contour measures 1.5' below NWL.

ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The installation of 26,300 linear feet of cable within a 4-inch trench would:
Result in the disturbance of 8,770 square feet of estuarine/public trust shallow water
habitat.
• Create short-term turbidity in the project area.

Subject: Sprint Communications Submarine Cable Project Across Currituck Sound
Topic: General Permit Application and Project Description
Attn: Mr. Ed Harrell
CAMA Supervisor
Dear Sir:
Pursuant to our conversations and meetings regarding the aforementioned topic
and the subject application, I am pleased to provide this information as a preface
description for the subject project.
A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The enclosed permit application entails the request for a joint application permit to
install a submarine cable as shown within the drawings between the Waterlilly, NC water
access point and the Corolla, NC water access point across the Currituck Sound for a
distance of approximately 26,300ft. This submarine cable is a'/4" diameter fiber optic
cable with a neoprene jacket and a 48 count fiber core which will provide additional and
much needed communication fiber service to the outer banks northern sector.
In 1989/1990 a permit in the same general geographical area was provided by the
governing agencies for the installation of a twin 35kv power circuit by North Carolina
Power and installed by Crofton utilizing this same embedment method which we propose
herein. We hereby solicit a permit to provide this communication link between the
mainland and the outer banks of North Carolina across Currituck Sound.

B. PROJECT METHODOLOGY
As you will note in the drawings, there are no impacts to the wetlands on either side
of the project and the Corolla Side has an existing upland terminal pole and at this point a
directional bore will be conducted underneath the rip rap and out into the water stream
area to eliminate any impact of shoreline disturbance. As noted once again on the photos
and the drawings there are no wetlands on the Corolla side thus no environmental
disturbance is to be expected.
The Waterlilly Side has much the same termination area with the existing structure
for termination upland and inboard of the waterline approximately 150 ft. Directional
boring will once again be conducted with an inner duct provided well out into the water
stream from the terminal pole underneath the bulkhead and to a point outboard which will
allow non disturbance in the shoreline area once again in the transition section. The
Waterlilly side also has no wetland vegetation that would be impacted during the course
of these operations.
The project methodology for the installation of the cable across the waterway will
entail the utilization of a barge and in general the project will be as shown in the
conceptual drawing provided herein. The cable lay barge will contain a beam attached to
the deck of the barge and at the bottom base of the beam the embedment stinger device
will penetrate into the substrate approximately M. As the barge with the embedment
plow is moved across the waterway with anchors, the sand/mud combination bottom
composition will be displaced and an approximately 4" wide and a 3 ft deep trench will
be developed. At the very bottom of the stinger/chute the cable will be deposited behind
the sled in the small trench which will back fill immediately merely by resettlement of
the material back into the trench. The sled device over top of the stinger/chute as shown
in the drawing will allow the plow to rest on the bottom and glide along the bottom
substrate and holding the trench to the proper elevation.
The cable provided is a continuous cable with no splices. Upon arrival onsite the
directional boring will have been completed from the upland areas approximately 150 ft
inboard and upland from the existing waterlines. The 1" diameter inner duct will be
provided from the termination point inshore to a point approximately 150 ft outboard
from the mean low waterline.
With our barge and cable laying device in position, the end of the cable will be pulled
to the upland terminal through the inner duct and from this point to the opposite side of
the sound, the cable will be embedded approximately 3ft into the substrate. Upon arrival
on the opposite side of the sound the opposite end of the cable will be pulled through the
inner duct once again and to the terminal pole on this side of the sound as well.
During the course of these operations, tracking of our routing will be performed via
GPS for accurate As-Built information and As-Builts of the projects will be provided
indicating all activities during the construction operations.

C. EMBEDMENT PLOW PROCEDURES
As previously described, the embedment plow system initiates with a plow beam
attached to the bow or stern of the cable lay barge and at the base of the beam that is
shown in the conceptual drawing, the sled with stinger is attached and articulates
depending on the bottom contours of the bottom substrate. High pressure water initiates
an approximate 4" wide trench which is all that is necessary for a 3/4" diameter cable. This
trench extends from the top of the substrate down to the bottom of the stinger which is
approximately 3ft in depth. The chute is attached to the after (back) side of the stinger.
Very little bottom disturbance is initiated during this operation and the sled which glides
along the bottom substrate minimizes the uplifting of any materials as the jetting and
embedment process continues.
With the continuous cable and with no splices, no additional efforts are required
during splicing operations. The continuous run of cable allows for continuous embedment
which minimizes the disturbance of the plowing efforts.
Please find enclosed the permit application which entails the applicable forms No.
MP 1 and MP 2. As is obvious, there is no specific information within the permit
application that steers one directly to an underwater utility description, but you will
notice with the drawings as well as the photos provided, information is submitted herein
which describes very thoroughly the activities not only across the waterway but on either
side of the waterway as well.
Should you have any questions concerning the information provided, please call as
soon as possible @ 757-397-1131 or my cell phone # [phone]. I appreciate very
much your assistance for this project given the heightened condition of necessity as well
as the weather window which we are facing as fall and winter approaches. It is our goal
to begin operations during the late September or in early October 2003. With the
approval of the property owners as shown in the enclosed affidavits as well as to other
work similar to this project across the Currituck Sound, we hope that these facts will
generate a quick turn around on this application for the final permit for Sprint.
Sincerely Yours,
Ju S. Crofton
