FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
RONALD M. LONG /CARTERET
PAGE #2
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The project is located adjacent to North River, South
Leffers Creek and North Leffers Creek and State Road 1333 (Crow Hill Road), near
the community of Otway, in Carteret County. The property is approximately 95 acres
in size with the vast majority acreage consisting of Coastal Wetlands. An elevated dirt
road through the marsh provides the only vehicular access to the approx. 16 acres of
highground which is located directly adjacent to North River. The previous landowner
constructed a residence on the property and stabilized a portion of the shoreline some
years ago. There is a small sandy beach area in front of the residence. The applicant
was issued a CAMA General Permit in 1994 which authorized the stabilization of
approx. 500 linear feet of shoreline. The applicant completed that work but also
placed a concrete rubble jetty in North River without proper authorizations. A Notice
of Violation {NOV) was issued, however the approx. 25' long x 8' wide (bottom
width) section of jetty in North River was allowed to remain. The applicant was latter
issued CAMA Major Permit #147 -95 which authorized the placement of approx. 1100
feet of rock riprap rubble along the shoreline and the construction of a pier 115' long in North
River. The applicant has also requested permission to extend and widen the rock jetty to a
base width of 20' and to a length of 75' beyond the MHW line but this request was denied
primarily due to impacts of shellfish resources. The rock riprap has been installed but the pier
has not been built to this date. Waters at the project site have been classified as SA and are
open to the harvesting of shellfish. Oysters are visible along the shoreline area and it could be
anticipated that clams would be found in offshore areas.
The applicant is now requesting to place rock riprap along several areas of shoreline which
have previously been stabilized and to extend the jetty once more into North River but in a
scaled down version. Plans submitted with the application show that the shoreline stabilization
will be in two areas: 1) along a 50' section of sandy shoreline above the mean high water line
and 2) along a 200' section of shoreline which has previously been stabilized with a
rock/concrete wall. This wall has begun to deteriorate and shows signs of structural failure.
The rock would be placed an average of 5' beyond the mean high water line at that location.
The proposed jetty will result in the existing one being widen to 11' and extended into North
River for a total distance of 50'. The applicant has indicated that the additional jetty extension
is needed to prevent further adverse impacts from wind and tidal effecting the foundation
stability of the applicant's residence.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The project as proposed will result in the filling of 10,000
sq.ft. of intertidal area in association with the shoreline stabilization with approx. 18.5 cu. yds.
of material being placed below the MHW line. The remaining 1600 sq.ft. of shoreline riprap
will be above the MHW line and on a sandy beach area. The proposed riprap jetty will result
in an additional 400 sq.ft. of shallow water bottom area being filled with approx. 12 cu. yds.
of material. The jetty extension would appear to directly impact existing live oysters. It is not
know if any clam resources would be impacted.

in non - vegetated wetlands for the purpose of widening an existing jetty to 11
feet wide by 50 feet long, place rock rip rap along a 50 foot shoreline above
the mean high water (MHW) line, and repair a deteriorating wall along a
200 - foot -long shoreline, placing rock approximately 5 feet waterward of MHW.
Shoreline stabilization and other work has been permitted and completed on
this property in the past. The site is located on the North River, at the end
of Dill Point Road (SR 1333) near Otway, in Carteret County, North Carolina.
Your receipt of this letter verifies your acceptance of a valid request for
certification in accordance with Section 325.2(b)(ii) of our administrative
regulations.
We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to Section
404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have determined that a water quality
certification is required under the provisions of Section 401 of the same law.
A Department of the Army permit will not be granted until the certification
has been obtained or waived.
According to our administrative regulations, 60 days is reasonable for
State action. Therefore, if you have not acted on the request, or asked for an
extension of time, by February 17, 1997, the District Engineer will deem that
waiver has occurred.

PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to place rock riprap waterward of an existing

FIELD IlWESTIGATION REPORT:
RONALD M. LONG /CARTERET
PAGE #2
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The project is located adjacent to North River, South
Leffers Creek and North Leffers Creek and State Road 1333 (Crow Hill Road), near
the community of Otway, in Carteret County. The property is approximately 95 acres
in size with the vast majority acreage consisting of Coastal Wetlands. An elevated dirt
road through the marsh provides the only vehicular access to the approx. 16 acres of
highground which is located directly adjacent to North River. The previous landowner
constructed a residence on the property and stabilized a portion of the shoreline some
years ago. There is a small sandy beach area in front of the residence. The applicant
was issued a CAMA General Permit in 1994 which authorized the stabilization of
approx. 500 linear feet of shoreline. The applicant completed that work but also
placed a concrete rubble jetty in North River without proper authorizations. A Notice
of Violation (NOV) was issued, however the approx. 25' long x 8' wide (bottom
width) section of jetty in North River was allowed to remain. The applicant was latter
issued CAMA Major Permit #147 -95 which authorized the placement of approx. ,1100
feet of rock riprap rubble along the shoreline and the construction of a pier 115' long in North
River. The applicant has also requested permission to extend and widen the rock jetty to a
base width of 20' and to a length of 75' beyond the MHW line but this request was denied
primarily due to impacts of shellfish resources. The rock riprap has been installed but the pier
has not been built to this date. Waters at the project site have been classified as SA and are
open to the harvesting of shellfish. Oysters are visible along the shoreline area and it could be
anticipated that clams would be found in offshore areas.
The applicant is now requesting to place rock riprap along several areas of shoreline which
have previously been stabilized and to extend the jetty once more into North River but in a
scaled down version. Plans submitted with the application show that the shoreline stabilization
will be in two areas: 1) along a 50' section of sandy shoreline above the mean high water line
and 2) along a 200' section of shoreline which has previously been stabilized with a
rock/concrete wall. This wall has begun to deteriorate and shows signs of structural failure.
The rock would be placed an average of 5' beyond the mean high water line at that location.
The proposed jetty will result in the existing one being widen to 11' and extended into North
River for a total distance of 50'. The applicant has indicated that the additional jetty extension
is needed to prevent further adverse impacts from wind and tidal effecting the foundation
stability of the applicant's residence.
10. ANTICIPATED ]IMPACTS: The project as proposed will result in the filling of 10,000
sq.ft. of intertidal area in association with the shoreline stabilization with approx. 18.5 cu..yds.
of material being placed below the MHW line. The remaining 1600 sq.ft. of shoreline riprap
will be above the MHW line and on a sandy beach area. The proposed riprap jetty will result
in an additional 400 sq.ft. of shallow water bottom area being filled with approx. 12 cu. yds.
of material. The jetty extension would appear to directly impact existing live oysters. It is not
know if any clam resources would be impacted.
