information.
Enclosed please find the application fee of $475.00, along with five (5) copies of the

In response to your November 18, 20051etter, enclosed you will find Tyrrell County's
permit application for Ryder's Creek. According to Mr. Kirby Balance, local Soil
Conservation office, it would improve the county's chance of our application being
approved if the county could show the clearing of the canal in the Ryder's Creek
community was an ongoing project. Therefore, I have included with our application
several documents to that affect.
I cannot stress enough the importance of maintaining the draining of the Ryder's Creek
community. If any additional information is needed, or if I can be of any further
assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me at the above address.
Cordially,
W. Mack Carawan, Jr.
Tyrrell County Assistant Administrator

Rider's Creek Canal Project
Narrative Description
The Rider's Creek Community approached the Tyrrell County
Board of Commissioners in January of 1999 requesting assistance in getting Rider's
Creek cleared and snagged up to Level's road and dipped out above that in the manmade
canals.
A grant application was prepared and sent by the County Commissioners to the Division
of Water Resources in June of 1999. Grant was approved in Apri12000. A landowner
meeting was held in the community in June 2000 to discuss the proposed project. Lateral
A canal was added to the project since it affected a large percentage of the property. Dip
out was requested on the main canal and Lateral A. Clearing and snagging was done on
the creek from Scuppernong River up to the intersection of the main Canal and Lat. A in
2001.
Landowner's names, acres and tax map locations were gathered for all property draining
into this drainage system. There are 1701andowners, 112 lot owners and 66 cropland
owners. Cropland acres is 1054.7, high woodland acres I 1442.6 and low woodland or
swamp acres is 1135.4 for a total of 3905 acres affected.
We met with Steve Trowell, CAMA and Tom Walker, Corp of Engineers twice on the
project permit requirements. We were advised that a CAMA major permit would be
required for the dip out of the canals. Clearing and snagging will not require a permit.
Profiles and cross-sections were run in March of 2001 and were included in the permit
application. After working on the requirements for a CAMA major permit including
right-of--way easement signatures from landowners and the application being returned
twice because of omitted data, the county reapplied for a CAMA permit and was advised
one would not be required. The county then contacted C.O.E. and was told a Dept of
Army individual permit would be required.
The dip-out work is proposed for 4400 feet of the main canal which drains south from the
headwaters of Tider's Creek and 3800 feet of Lateral A canal which drains property east
of the main canal starting about 1000 feet south of Level's Road. A hydraulic backhoe
on tracks or a dragline will be used for the dip-out. A bulldozer or hydraulic backhoe
will be used to do limited clearing and excavation on top of the existing spoil piles
placing berms on each edge in order to contain the new spoil. Brush and trees removed
will be placed on the landward side of the existing spoil pile to help contain the new spoil
and prevent it from entering any adjacent wetlands. Grass will be seeded on the spoil
piles upon completion.

Where the existing spoil has subsided into the swamp floor, new spoil will be placed with
20 foot breaks left every 200 feet or culvert pipes installed, to allow flood waters to flow
into the wetlands as they have done naturally. Culvert pipe installation would allow a
travel way for periodic future maintenance with less cost to the landowners and impact on
the environment. Trees and brush will again be used to contain the new spoil in a 22 foot
wide area with a 4 foot berm left between the spoil and canal. Equipment mats will be
used if conditions are wet enough to affect traffic ability. Easement will be signed by all
landowners upon which actual work will be done.
Tyrrell County will comply with the [provisions the North Carolina Environmental
Policy Act (N.C.G.S. 113-A-1 to 10).
This work is proposed to begin in October and be completed by February 28tH °f the year
the permit is obtained. USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, and The Tyrrell
Soil and water Conservation District personnel will supervise construction to assure
compliance with the permit requirements.
