DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT Water Quality Section December 5, 1985 M E M O R A N D U M TO: John Parker FROM: Dennis Ramsey, SUBJECT: Application for CAMA Permit L.L. Wise Pamlico County The Subject application has been reviewed for water quality impacts and the following comments are offered: 1. The project currently proposed is the same project that was denied in the Spring of 1982. The net result of the project, if 'permitted, would be a dead-end canal approximately 800 feet long. 2. It is expected that violations of dissolved oxygen water quality standards would occur in the canal system due to stagnation of water resulting from poor flushing characteristics and seasonal influx of fresh water runoff. Such violations are very possibly occurring in the existing dead-end canal. To allow the extension of the existing dead-end canal by removing the plug would increase the potential for stagnant water conditions, standard violations, and fish kills. 3. Another factor that influences poor water quality in dead-end canal systems is non-point source pollution in the form of septic tank leachate. This problem is usually associated with developed canal systems and is somewhat dependent on the density of development, ability of the soils to absorb septic tank effluent, seasonal high water tables and setback distances of septic system from the canals. The current development is relatively low density and provides for reasonable setbacks from the canal system. The site is comprised of primarily clay soils which have low permeability characteristics. The seasonal high water table is within 2 ft. of the surface. The site conditions do not appear to be very favorable for septic tank systems and; therefore, the potential for non-point source pollution does exist. -2- 4. This proposed project will not require a 401 water quality certification. As outlined above, water quality standard violations are expected. Therefore, the Water Quality Section objects to this project. DRR/BM:dkb cc: Jim Mulligan Bill Mills /; A*. ?..? w..

(2) place septic tanks >100' from canal, (3) seed banks of canal - DEM objections and concerns of 2/5/82, remained; project denied Current Project Proposal Mr. Wise is now proposing the same project which was denied in the spring of 1982. The proposed involves: (1) Fill the borrow canal to obtain a depth of 3 ft. (2) Remove a 20 ft. earthern plug (3) Connect the existing borrow canal approximately 300 ft. long by 40 ft. wide by 3 ft. deep to an existing dead-end canal approximately 500 ft. long by 40 ft. wide by 2.5-4 ft. deep. s ' .4 .4W Bill Mills 11-7-85 Page 2 Comments and Recommendations The existing f 500 ft. dead-end canal is connected to Tarkiln Creek just a few hundred yards upstream of the mouth of Tarkiln Creek. Tarkiln Creek is classified SC waters and although not designated, serves as a primary nursery area, as communicated by Dennis Spizbergen, DMF, Morehead. The waters in Dawson Creek near the mouth of Tarkiln Creek are classified SA. The proposed project wduld--i:nvoive-extending the dead-end canal to an overall length of approximately 800 feet. EPA studies document the ac -that long-dead-e-nd_____- canals tend to create stagnant water conditions as a result of poor flushing and seasonal influx of fresh water runoff. The poor flushing action in the canal system causes D.O. and salinity stratification, which in turn violates the dissolved oxygen standards and in some instances kills fish. The poor flushing of dead-end canal systems, coupled with D.O. standard violations and fish kills, has been observed on several occasions in recent months in the Washington Region. It is very possible that the above circumstances could occur in the existing dead-end canal. To allow the extension of the existing dead-end canal would increase the potential for,stagnant water conditions, standard violations and fish kills. Another factor that influences poor water quality in dead-end canal systems is non-point source pollution in the form of septic tank leachate. This problem is usually associated with developed canal systems and is somewhat dependent on the density of development, ability of the soils to absorb septic tank effluent, seasonal high water tables and setback distances of septic system from the canals. The current development is.relatively low density and provides for reasonable setbacks from the canal system. The site is comprised of primarily clay soils which have low permeability characteristics. The seasonal high water table is within 2 ft. of the surface. The site conditions do not appear to be very favorable for septic tank systems and; therefore, the potential for non-point source pollution does exist. In summary, our primary concerns regarding the extension of the canal system are the increased potential for water quality standard violations and fish kills. It is recommended that DEN object to the proposed project.

Project summary Applicant proposes toopen an existing borrow pond to T a r k 1 i n Creek off SR 1340 in Pamlico County 9.' Narrative Description The applicant's property is currently a residential subdivision un- der development which is located adjacent to Tarklin Creek off SR 1340 in Pamlico County. The property segment subject to this permit request involves an existing borrow canal about 560' long by 40' wide with depths ranging between -5' to -7..5' NWL. The surround- ing property is +6 - 8' in elevation and subdivided into lots ap- proximately 1/2 acre in size. Three of the lots surrounding this borrow canal have been built upon with residential structures. The borrow canal is separated from the head of another man-made canal by an earthen plug. The canal adjacent to the borrow canal is about 500' long by 40' wide by 2,5' to 4' deep. This canal connects to Tarklin Creek, Tarklin Creek is designated as inland waters by the N. C. Marine Fisheries and the WLRC and the water classification of Tarklin Creek is SC as designated by DEM. The applicant is proposing to fill the 'existing borrow canal to match the water depths in the adjacent canal. This will be accomplished by sloping the sides of this basin with a bulldozer to obtain the necessary fill material and to also provide a suitable slope for establishing grass. This work is to be done in the pond after it is pumped dry. Once the work is completed, vegetation is proposed to be established and then water introduced into this basin gradually by removing the top half of the earthen plug by a drag line. The tur- bidity in the basin will be allowed to subside before completely re- moving the plug to the proposed grade. The finished water depth of the borrow canal is expected to be 3' NWL and this is'expected to complement the depths of the adjacent waters. At the head of the basin is a proposed boat ramp which is intended to extend water access to additional subdivided lots. 10. Anticipated impacts Conducting the project as proposed will result in the.extension of this man-made system an additional 560' into the high ground. The total man-made system will be approximately 860' long once this is done and about 40' wide. About 1.8 acres will be disrupted by the process of filling the canal to the proper depth and sloping the banks. Water quality problems have long been associated with dead end canal systems due to poor circulation patterns. r 'Submitted by Nelson G.

Project summary Applicant proposes to pen an existing borrow pond to Tarklin Creek off SR 1340 in Pamlico County! is 9. Narrative Description The applicant's property is currently a residential subdivision un- der development which is located adjacent to Tarklin Creek off SR 1340 in Pamlico County. The property segment subject to this permit request involves an existing borrow canal about 560' long by 40' wide with depths ranging between -5' to -7..5' NWL. The surround- ing property is +6 - 8' in elevation and subdivided into lots ap- proximately 1/2 acre in size. Three of the lots surrounding this borrow canal have been built upon with residential structures. The borrow canal is separated from the head of another man-made c-a-n-a byan earthen plug. The canal adjacent to the borrow canal is about 500' long by 40' wide by 205' to 4' deep. This canal connects to Tarklin Creek. Tarklin Creek is designated as inland waters by the N. C. Marine Fisheries and the WLRC and the water classification of Tarklin Creek is SC as designated by DEM. The applicant is proposing to fill the existing borrow canal to match the water depths in the adjacent canal. This will be accomplished by sloping the sides of this basin with a bulldozer to obtain the necessary fill material and to also provide a suitable slope for establishing grass. This work is to be done in the pond after it is pumped dry. Once the work is completed, vegetation is proposed to be established and then water introduced into this basin gradually by removing the top half of the earthen plug by a drag line. The tur- bidity in the basin will be allowed to subside before completely re- moving the plug to the proposed grade. The finished water depth of the borrow canal is expected to be 3' NWL and this is expected to complement the depths of the adjacent waters. At the head of the basin is a proposed boat ramp which is intended to extend water access to additional subdivided lots. 10. Anticipated impacts Conducting the project as proposed will result in the extension of this man-made system an additional 560' into the high ground. The total man-made system will be approximately 860' long once this is done and about 40' wide. About 1.8 acres will be disrupted by the process of filling the canal to the proper depth and sloping the banks. Water quality problems have long been associated with dead end canal systems due to poor circulation patterns. Submitted'by Nelson G. Paul Date .
