RE: Water Quality Certification Request (General Certification 3883) p T
Somerset Loop & Lake Phelps Access Improvements
Pettigrew State Park (Washington County)
R
Dear Ms. Higgins:
Enclosed are five copies of a completed application submittal package requesting a Water Quality Certification
(No. 3883) which corresponds to US Army Corps of Engineers ( USACE) General Permit 197800056. This
application package consists of the following documentation: one completed PCN form, three project area maps,
eight boardwalk drawings, and three USACE Wetland Data Forms. Please also find the enclosed journal transfer
documentation indicating that payment of the $240 application fee has been transferred from the account of the
Division of Parks and Recreation (DPR) to the Division of Water Quality.
The proposed project involves construction of a six-foot wide, 1,860 -foot long wooden boardwalk, an 8'x12'
wooden platform, and a 100' long, six-foot wide wooden pier that will extend into Lake Phelps and connect to a
24'x18' wooden boat dock. The boardwalk will be manually constructed, and pilings will be driven to a minimum of
five feet below grade using a light -duty excavator. If unstable soils are encountered, removable mats will be
utilized to minimize ground disturbance. A boat will be used to deliver materials when necessary. Approximately
0.26 acres of jurisdictional wetlands and 0.012 acres of open waters will be impacted by boardwalk construction.
DPR is concurrently submitting one copy of this permit application to Mr. Josh Pelletier of the USACE Washington
Field Office to request a General Permit Verification under GP Nationwide Permit 197800056. Please contact me
if you require any additional information.
Sincerely,

MEMORANDUM
TO: Tammy Dodd

CC: Doug LeQuire
Amin Davis
February 4, 2013
SUBJECT: PETT Somerset Loop & Lake Phelps Access Improvements - Request for
Funds Transfer for DWQ Water Quality Certification
Pettigrew State Park (PETT) is in need of a DWQ Water Quality Certification (WQC) for
impacts to wetlands and open waters associated with construction of a boardwalk, pier, and boat
dock. The overall project consists of the construction of approximately 2,000 feet of wooden
boardwalk that will provide enhanced recreational opportunities for Park visitors through
wetland natural communities. The majority of proposed trail construction will be conducted by
Park staff and seasonal employees, with assistance from volunteers on an as- needed basis.
Please prepare a fund transfer form in the amount of $240 payable to the NC Division of Water
Quality to cover the administrative fee for the processing of this WQC request. The WQC is
required as part of a permit application that will be submitted to the US Army Corps of
Engineers for this project.
