Dear Mr. Mills:
ham' -.
Enclosed is the application of Perquimans County, represented
by Mr. Randy Keaton, County Manager, for a Department of the Army
permit and a State Water Quality Certification to place fill
material in the waters of Albemarle Sound and the Perquimans River
to establish two artificial fishing reefs, Perquimans 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 October 7, 1985, the District Engineer
will deem that waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Ernest Jahnke,
telephone [phone].
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Gossett:
I am writing in response to your letter of July 1, 1985 in which you
asked what limitations, if any, will be placed on reef construction, or
on boating within the restricted area off of Harvey's Point where one of
our proposed artificial fishing reefs is to be constructed. I have spoken
with Ralph Barr fran the Harvey Point military installation and with Harry
Mann who is in charge of the Dare County Target Canplex. Both men stated .
that their activities would not interfere with boating or reef construction
at all. The restricted area restricts air activity only. Boats can operate
at all times within the restricted area. If you need more information Mr.
Mann stated that he would be glad to furnish a letter to that effect. I
hope, however, that this letter will answer your questions.

Y,
Environmental settin
The applicant is proposing to construct an artificial fishing reef in two locations
in Penquimans County. Site A will be located in the Albemarle Sound in the
Restricted Area off of Harveys point in approximately 17' of water; Site B will be,
located in the Perquimans River off of Grassy Point in approximately 12' of water.
Project proposal
The applicant is proposing to construct two artificial fishing reefs with concrete
materials from the demolition of the N.C. 32 Albemarle Sound Bridge. Each reef
will be 440' in length and 100' in width. A water clearance of 7' will be maintained
above the top of each reef.
Specific locations are as follows:
Reef A Latitude 36 degrees 4 minutes 15 seconds N
Longitude 76 degrees 20 minutes 20 seconds W
Reef B Latitude 36 degrees 8 minutes 15 seconds N
Longitude 76 degrees 22 minutes 45 seconds W
Each reef will be marked with spar buoys at each corner which will be labeled
Artificial Reef.
Environmental impact
If the project is conducted as proposed, no wetland vegetation will be excavated
and/or filled.
The reefs are to be constructed of clean riprap (bridge material) thus eliminating
water quality concerns.

I am writing in response to your letter of July 1, 1985 in which you
asked what limitations, if any, will be placed on reef construction, or
do boating within the restricted area off of Harvey's Point where one of
our proposed artificial fishing reefs is to be constructed. I have spoken
with Ralph Barr fran the Harvey Point military installation and with Harry
Mann who is in charge of the Dare County Target Canplex. Both men stated
that their activities would not interfere with boating or reef constriction
at all. The restricted area restricts air activity only. Boats can operate
at all times within the restricted area. If you need more information Mr.
Mann stated that he would be glad to furnish a letter to that effect. I
hope, however, that this letter will answer your questions.
