Dear Mr. Huggett:

Reference the application of William T. Robbins for a Department of the Army permit to
place fill material within a manmade basin, on property located off State Road 1186, in the
Walnut Island Subdivision, adjacent to the Currituck Sound, near Grandy, in Currituck County,
North Carolina.
The Federal agencies have completed review of the proposal as presented by the
application and your field investigation report.
We recommend that the following conditions be included in the State authorization:
1. All work authorized by this permit must be performed in strict compliance with the
permit plans, which are a part of this permit.
2. All backfill materials will be obtained from a highground source and confined landward
of the permitted bulkhead.
3. No vegetated wetlands will be excavated or filled.
4. The temporary placement or double handling of excavated or fill materials within waters
or vegetated wetlands are not authorized.

6. The permittee will maintain the authorized work in good condition and in conformance
with the terms and conditions of this permit. The permittee is not relieved of this requirement if
he abandons the permitted activity without having it transferred to a third party.

turbidity outside the area of construction or construction-related discharge. Increases such that
the turbidity in the waterbody is 50 NTU's or less in all rivers not designated as trout waters by
the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM), 25 NTU's or less in all
saltwater classes and in all lakes and reservoirs, and 10 NTU's or less in trout waters, are not
considered significant.
