Dear Colonel Hanson:
This is in response to your request for additional comments
on the subject permit application.
We have reviewed the applicant's letter explaining his alter-
natives and course of action if the permit request is denied.
If the applicant can construct the project without a Depart-
ment of the Army permit then he should do so.
However, if a permit is required, the concerns expressed in
our letter of March 25, 1985, have not changed and we con-
tinue to recommend that the permit be denied.
Sincerely yours

Mr. J. Phillip Norris has made an application to the Corps of Engineers
to construct an earthen dam 135 feet in length, 20 feet wide for the purpose
of establishing a pond adjacent to Town Creek in a low land swamp area. A
piped spillway is proposed to control the water level within the pond.
It appears that the proposed project meets the EMC policy criteria for
the filling of wetlands area within a 1/2 acre-area. It is recommended
that a 401 certification be issued containing the following conditions:
1. The dike walls shall be stablized with a vegetative cover
in order to prevent erosion and sedimentation impacts in
adjacent wetlands.
2. The spillway piping shall be sized and positioned at an
elevation such that flooding will not occur at current
high ground locations.

ground ridges. The structure is to be 135 feet long, with a 20-foot maximum
bottom width, and a maximum 5 feet high. Approximately 146 cubic yards of
clay material would be trucked in from an offsite source to erect the dam. An
estimated 2,700 square feet of wetland would be filled. An additional 10,000
square feet of bottomland hardwood forest wetland would be converted to an
open waterpond. Dominant vegetation at the site includes swamp blackgum
(Nyssa sylvatica v, biflora), red maple (Acer rubrum), and saw grass (Cladium
3amaicense . The purpose of the project i?`s to create a pond for residential
aesthetics. Plans showing the work are included with this public notice.
The applicant has determined that the proposed work is consistent with
the N. C. Coastal Zone Management Plan and has submitted this determination to
the N. C. Division of Coastal Management for their review and concurrence.

e. The submittal of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan to the
Land Quality Section, Division of Land Resources, pursuant to the State
Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (NC G.S. 113 A-50-66).
The requested Department of the Army permit will be denied if any
required State or local authorization and/or certification is denied. No
Department of the Army permit will be issued until a State coordinated
viewpoint is received and reviewed by this agency. Recipients of this notice
are encouraged to furnish comments on factors of concern represented by the
above agencies directly to the respective agency, with a copy furnished to the
Corps of Engineers.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404(b) of the

the comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing be held to
consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with
particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.
The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the
National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered
properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein, and
this worksite is not registered property or property listed as being eligible
for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register
constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District
Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources.
Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical
data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit.
The District Engineer has determined, based on a review of data furnished.
by the applicant and onsite observations, that the activity will not affect
species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened
pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of
the probable impact including the cumulative impacts of the proposed activity
on the public interest. That decision will reflect the national concern for
bot iza ion o important resources. The benefit which
reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced
against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. All factors which may be
relevant to the proposal will be considered; among those are conservation,
economics, esthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural,
values, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards, flood plain values, land use,
navigation, shoreline erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and
conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food production and, in
general, the needs and welfare of the people. The evaluation of the impact of
the activity on the public interest will also include application of the
guidelines promulgated by the Administrator, U. S. Environmental Protection
Agency, under the authority of Section 404(b) of the Clean Water Act (40 CFR
Part 320). No permit will be granted unless its issuance is found to be in
the public interest.

SUBJECT: J. Phillip Norris
(Public Notice No. SAWCO 85-N-010-0140)
Dear Colonel Hanson:
This is in response to the subject public notice proposing
the placement of fill material in wetlands adjacent to Town
Creek, near the City of Wilmington, in Brunswick County,
North Carolina. The purpose of the project is to create a
pond for aesthetic purposes.
Plans provided by the applicant indicate that an earthen clay
dam is proposed with a spillway located between two high
ground ridges. The structure is to be 135 feet long, with a
20 foot maximum bottom width, and a maximum of 5 feet high.
About 146 cubic yards of clay material would be trucked in
from an offsite source to construct the dam. As a result of
this activity approximately 2,700 square feet of bottomland
hardwood would be filled. An additional 10,000 square feet
of this productive wetland system would be eliminated and
replaced with open water.
Based on our review of the subject public notice and discussions
with personnel from the U.S.`Fish and Wildlife Service, it is
evident that the proposal will eliminate 12,700 square feet
of valuable wetlands dominated by swamp gum (Nyssa sylvatica),
red maple (Acer rubrum) and saw grass (Cladium Zamaicense).
Bottomland hardwoods perform vital functions to aquatic
systems including: fish and wildlife habitat values, water
quality services, and storm water retention capabilities.
Consequently, because the proposed activity will result in
the destruction of a valuable aquatic resource and is clearly
not water dependent, it is our belief that the proposed
project is contrary to the Section 404 Guidelines and should
be denied.

RAT/pNS B pN?QIV
Enclosed is the application of Mr. John Phillip Norris for a
Department of the Army permit and a State Water Quality
Certification to place fill materials in wetlands adjacent to Town
Creek to facilitate construction of a dam in Brunswick 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 authorization of the proposed activity
pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have
determined that a water quality certification may be 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.
In accordance with our administrative regulations, 60 days
after receipt of a request for certification is considered a
reasonable time for State action. Therefore, if your office has
not acted on the request by May 20, 1985, the District Engineer
will deem that waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Ernest Jahnke,
