Dear Mr. Pipkin:
Subject: Proposed Fill in Headwaters or Isolated Wetlands
Bridge Maintenance Facility Construction
Currituck County
Upon review of your request for Water Quality Certification
to place fill material in 5.0 acres of wetlands for bridge
maintenance facility, we have determined that the proposed fill
can be covered by General Water Quality Certification No. 2176
issued November 4, 1987. A copy of the General Certification is
attached. This Certification may be used in qualifying for
coverage under Corps of Engineers' Nationwide Permit No. 26.
If you have any questions, please contact John Dorney
at 919/733-5083.
Sincerely,
George T. gverett

SUBJECT: Predischarge notification for Nationwide Permit
26. Construction of a bridge maintenance facility in
Currituck County.
The existing bridge maintenance yards in Currituck and
Dare counties will be consolidated into one seven acre site
in Currituck County near Harbinger. Approximately five acres
of wetland are present at the proposed site. A description
of the wetland is appended to the pre-discharge notification
form. The exact acreage is difficult to determine because
the wetlands are present mostly in depressions of Dragton
soils. Water quality certification has been requested from
the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and
Natural Resources. This certification has not yet been
received, but approval is being considered (John Dorney,
personal communication). Once approval has been received a
copy will be forwared to you. The Division of Coastal
Management has reviewed the project and determined a LAMA
permit is not required.

Attachment to Pre-Discharge Notification Form for Nationwide 26
A site visit was conducted on May 29, 1991. Results of this
visit are summarized below.
The Currituck County Soil survey shows Dragston and Tomotley
soils present. Both soils are listed as hydric soils for
Currituck County. Dragston soils are listed as hydric because
they have hydric inclusions of Nimmo soils in depressions. Thus,
the approximate size of wetlands which will be lost or modified
as a result of the proposed work was not expressed in tenths of
an acre. The quantity of Nimmo soils in depressions was not
determined.
Moist, but not saturated, sand was present two feet below
the ground surface in the southwest corner of the site. This was
the lowest point in elevation.
The vegetation of the site may be characterized as a young
loblolly pine (P us taeda) forest with sweet gum (Liauidambar
Avraciflua) and red maple (Ater rubrum) as sub and codominants.
The oldest trees were about 15 years old. Sassafras (sassafras
b'd ), winged sumac ( bus copillina), red bay (Persea
borbonia), southern bayberry (Mvrica cerifera), inkberry (Ilex
vlabra) and oaks (ouercus spp.) comprised most of the remaining
woody vegetation. A few (3-4) clones of cattails (Tvpha
latifolia) were present only in two small (less than 0.1 acre)
sites. Cattail was the only obligate species present within the
seven acre site.
A drainage ditch is present just south of the southeast
corner of the project boundary.

Dear Mr. Kroeger:
Roger N. Schecter
Director
Per your request, we have reviewed your plans to consolidate
the Currituck and Dare bridge maintenance yards.
The location you have proposed, near Harbinger, Currituck
County, appears not to be within an Area of Environmental
Concern; thus, a LAMA permit is not required by this office.
However, based on the policies contained in the County's current
land use plan, any forested swamp or other wetlands existing on
the subject property may not be dug, filled, or otherwise
altered. Should these plans change, we would be glad to review
them again.
