Please find enclosed seven copies of a completed application for the referenced project. I
am submitting one copy of this application concurrently to Mr. James F. Shem with the
United States Army Corps of Engineers. (The corresponding DWQ Water Quality
Certification 3689 applies to USACE Regional General Permit 80.) The proposed repairs
are to stabilize an uprooted channel bank and threaten additional property damage.
Because the property at 829 Lassiter Place is in the 100-year floodplain; and because of
the current hurricane season and summer thunderstorm season, it is prudent to have the
repairs performed as soon as possible to minimize the potential for further impacts to the
stream bank and to the property. Any assistance your agency can provide for permit
issuance would be greatly appreciated so that the work can be performed expeditiously.
Thank you for your assistance in processing this application. If I may answer any
questions concerning the application, please contact me at telephone number (919) 890-
3818.
Sincerely,
James K. Leumas, P. E.
Senior Project Engineer

Abbreviated Application Form
For Regional General Permit 80 (Bulkheads and Riprap)
For Section 404 Regional General Permits, Section 401
General Water Quality Certifications, and Riparian Buffer and Watershed Buffer Rules
This application cannot be used for wetland or stream impacts.
This form is to be used for projects qualifying for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE) Regional
General Permits 80 (General Permit No. 197800080) as required by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and for
the North Carolina Division of Water Quality's (DWQ) associated General 401 Water Quality Certification.
This form is also to be used for any project requiring approval under any Riparian Buffer Rules implemented by
the N.C. Division of Water Quality. This form should not be used if you are requesting an Individual 404
Permit or Individual 401 Water Quality Certification.
The USACE is the lead regulatory agency. To review the requirements for the use of General permits, and to
determine if general permit 80 applies to your project, please go to the USACE website at
www.saw.usace.army.miI/wetlands/index.html, or contact one of the field offices listed on page 4 of this
application. The website also lists the responsible project manager for each county in North Carolina and
provides additional information regarding the identification and regulation of wetlands and waters of the U.S.
The DWQ issues a corresponding Certification (General or Individual), and cannot tell the applicant which 401
Certification will apply until the 404 Permit type has been determined by the USACE. Applicants are
encouraged to visit DWQ's 401/Wetlands Unit website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands to read about
current requirements for the 401 Water Quality Certification Program and to determine whether or not Riparian
Buffer Rules are applicable. The applicant is also advised to read the full text of the General Certification (GC)
matching the specific 404 Permit requested. Applicants lacking access to the internet should contact DWQ's
Central Office in Raleigh at [phone].
USACE Permits - Submit one copy of this form, along with supporting narratives, maps, data forms, photos,
etc. to the applicable USACE Regulatory Field Office.
401 Water Quality Certification or Buffer Rules - All information is required unless otherwise stated as
optional. Incomplete applications will be returned. Submit seven collated copies of all USACE Permit
materials to the Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC, 27699-
1650. If written approval is required or specifically requested for a 401 Certification, then a non-refundable
application fee is required. In brief, if project impacts include less than one acre of cumulative wetland/water
impacts and less than 150 feet cumulative impacts to streams, then a fee of $200 is required. If either of these
thresholds is exceeded, then a fee of $475 is required. A check made out to the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality, with the specific name of the project or applicant identified, should be stapled to the front of the
application package. For more information, see the DWQ website at
http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/fees.htm].

Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local landmarks such
as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property boundaries and
development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map and site plan must
include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings, impervious surfaces, or other
facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should include the appropriate USGS
Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property boundaries outlined. Plan drawings,
or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion, so long as the property is clearly defined.
For administrative and distribution purposes, the USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets
no larger than 11 by 17-inch format; however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers
full-size construction drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size
plans are reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed
that the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.

2. Name of project: 829 Lassiter Place - Bank Repairs
3. Property size (acres):
0.26 acre
4. Name of nearest receiving body of water (stream/river/lake): Crabtree Creek
River Basin: Neuse River Basin
(Note - this must be one of North Carolina's seventeen designated major river basins. The River
Basin map is available at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/admin/maps/.)
5. Describe the purpose of the proposed work: The purpose of the project is to stabilize the bank and
prevent the loss of the bank into the creek channel. This will also help to safeguard the deck to the
house as the deck columns are within approximately 9 feet of the uprooted area and to safeguard the
foundation of the house which is less than 20 feet from the uprooted area. It should be noted that the
construction of the bulkhead will not add any additional land area to the property.
6. List the type of equipment to be used to construct the project: Please see the enclosed pictures.
There has been a bank failure on the property where 6 trees were uprooted and the bank has had a
slide. To prevent further sliding a small bulkhead (in non-tidal waters) made of posts such as 4"x4"
posts and 2"x6" boards, approximately 12 to 24 inches in height and approximately 30 feet in length
would be installed immediately at the edge of the uprooted area. It is expected that the work will be
done using hand tools and no heavy machinery would be used.
7. Type and amount of impact (including all back fill, excavation, riprap, retaining walls, other fill,
etc.) below the normal pool lake level in square feet or acres, and distance from shoreline: The work
is to be performed along the left (facing downstream) bank of the creek for a distance of
approximately 30 linear feet. It is anticipated that the bulkhead will be no more than 12 inches
below the normal water line of the creek. The intent of the project is to stabilize the area that has
been uprooted. There project will not add any additional land to the property. Treated timber posts
and boards will be used. It is estimated that less than one cubic yard of backfill material may be
used, if necessary, below the normal water line. However, this is not expected because it is
anticipated that the bulkhead will be placed as flush against the bank as possible
a. Type and amount of impact (including all clearing back fill, excavation, riprap, retaining walls,
other fill, etc.) above the normal pool lake level and 50 feet land-ward in square feet or acres: The
work is to be performed along the left (facing downstream) bank of the creek for a distance of
approximately 30 linear feet. It is anticipated that the bulkhead will be no more than 12 inches
above the normal water line of the creek. The intent of the project is to stabilize the area that has
been uprooted. There project will not add any additional land to the property. Treated timber posts
and boards will be used. It is estimated that less than one cubic yard of backfill material may be
used, if necessary, for blending in the area between the bulkhead and the adjoining uprooted area
b. Please describe the vegetation above the normal pool lake level and 50 feet land-ward to be
impacted (number of trees for instance): The uprooted area, which is approximately 30 feet in
length x 6 feet in width, had six (6) River Birch trees (three double-trunked trees each
approximately 8 inches to 12 inches in diameter. The trees were immediately against the channel
Page 3 of 5
bank and listing at an angle of approximately 30 degrees over the channel. This area was planted
with landscaping? plants, such as Hydrange_'a, Variegated Liriope ferns. etc. prior to the uprooting of
the trees. These landscaping plants still remain in the bank and will not be disturbed. The trees
however, required cutting in order to relieve the pressure on the bank from further movement. The
tree trunks will remain in the bank but the trees are to be cut as flush as possible with the uprooted
bank. The crevice that developed as a result of the uprooted trees was approximately 3 feet in width.
This area has been backfilled with soil and revegetated with Fescue sod to restrain additional
movement of the uprooted area and to restrain erosion.
