Dear Mr. Etheridge:
On February 6, 1986, we renewed general permit No. SAWC080-N-
000-0291 (enclosed), which provides Federal authorization for
construction activities that receive authorization from the State
of North Carolina.
A review of your application received October 16, 1986, for a
Department of the Army permit to construct a bulkhead and a pier
and to maintain and deepen an existing channel and to place fill
material in a wetland area off Mill Landing Creek in Wanchese,
Dare County, North Carolina, indicates it to be a candidate for
Federal authorization under this general permit. Accordingly, the
administrative processing of your application will be accomplished
by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management. Comments
from Federal review agencies will be furnished to the State.
If your application must be withdrawn from this general permit
process for any reason, you will be written and informed of its
further management. If there are no unresolved differences of
State-Federal positions or policy, the final action taken on your
application by the State will result in your receiving written
notice from us that your application has been successfully
processed under our general permit. Only after receiving such
confirmation should you begin work.
Your application, pursuant to Section 10 of the River and
Harbor Act and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, has been
assigned No. SAWC087-N-028-0028 and will be coordinated by

Dear Mr. Mills:
Enclosed is the application of Mr. Willie R. Etheridge for a
Department of the Army permit and a State Water Quality
Certification to place fill material in a wetland area off Mill
Landing Creek in Wanchese, Dare 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 December 16, 1986, the District
Engineer will deem that waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Hugh Heine,

the permit plans.
b. The material used to backfill the bulkhead will be clean
and free of any pollutants except in trace quantities. Metal
products, organic materials, or unsightly debris will not be used.
c. All excavated materials will be confined landward of the
mean high water (MHW) elevation contour and any regularly or
irregularly flooded vegetated wetlands.
d. Except for that used to backfill the bulkhead, no
excavated or fill materials will be placed at any time in any
vegetated wetlands or waters of the State.

SITE DESCRIPTION:
The applicant's property is off of Roanoke Sound on Mill Landing Creek
adjacent to Wanchese Harbor Seafood Park project. Part of the applicant's
property has been used by the Corps of Engineers as a spoil area for their
maintenance dredging in the Wanchese Harbor. Mill Landing Creek is heavily
used by commercial fishing traffic which caused erosion along the unprotected
shoreline. The shoreline immediately adjacent to Mill Landing Creek is devoid
of marsh grass and a 10 foot wide by 100 foot long dock has been constructed
under CAMA permit #129-80. This pier is delapidated and in need of repair.
In the narrow, relatively shallow cut extending from Mill Landing Creek to
Roanoke Sound between the applicant's property and a smaller marsh island,
there exist a discontinuous fringe of Juncus roemeria_nus marsh along the high
water mark.
The applicant proposes to construct a 10 foot wide pier and a bulkhead along
the approximately 680 feet of irregularly shaped waterline. The bulkhead is.
proposed to be located at the piers landward edge. This will result in the
bulkhead extending 10 to 15'feet from the MHW at the corners but averages 2
feet from MHW in most locations.
A 280 foot long by 43 foot wide access channel is proposed to provide access
by commercial fishing vessels. The excavation is to be accomplished by dragline
to a depth of -14 feet, which is consistent with the depth of the adjacent Mill
Landing Creek. All spoil will be placed on highground and then pushed behind
the bulkhead.
This same project was reviewed and authorized under CAMA permit #129-80.
The only work accomplished under this authority was the construction of a portion
of the pier which will be removed during dredging and then replaced. The only
site conditions which have changed is the continued erosion of the land adjacent
to Mill Landing Creek.
ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The construction of the bulkhead and pier and the excavation will result in
some short term elevated turbidity but this should be localized. The backfilling
of the bulkhead will result in the loss of approximately 1,600 square feet of
shallow water habitat and 200 square feet of Juncus roemerianus. Excavation of
the access channel will result in the deepening of 9,800 square feet of shallow
water habitat to -14 feet.
CAMA REVIEW:
The project site is classified as transition in the Dare County LUP. The
proposal is consistent with that classification.
