Dear Mr. Melville:
Reference your application for a Department of the Army permit
to excavate a channel and basin on Hawkins Creek off the White Oak
River, Swansboro, Onslow County, North Carolina.
Your proposal has been reviewed and found to be consistent
with the provisions and objectives of general permit No. SAWC080-
N-000-0291. Therefore, you may commence construction activity in
strict accordance with applicable State authorization and the
enclosed plan. Failure to comply with the State authorization or
conditions of the general permit could result in a violation of
Federal law.
If any change in your work is required because of unforeseen
or altered conditions or for any other reason, plans revised to
show the change must be sent promptly to this office and the North
Carolina Division of Coastal Management prior to performing any
such change or alteration. Such action is necessary, as revised
plans must be reviewed and the authorization modified.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Hugh Heine,
telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
Charles W. Hollis

(4) All excavated materials will be confined landward of the mean high water
(MHW) elevation contour and any regularly or irregularly flooded vegetated
wetlands.
(5) No excavated or fill materials will be placed at any time in any vegetated

9. Narrative Description
o
Mr. Robert Melville has recently purcliased Lot 19, Block D in Edge-
water Heights Subdivision which is located in'the Town of Swansboro
at 601 West Shore Drive on Hawkings Creek in Onslow County.
A private residence is situated on this one-half acre lot which is
well'stabilized with a wooden bulkhead measuring about 1310' long.
The land elevations slope gradually from aproximately a 5' eleva-
tion at the bulkhead to approximately 15' high above MSh near the-
City street.
The applicant proposes to excavate a boat basin in the high ground.
The area will measure 28' long into the hill by 22' wide. Because
of the shallow water depths in Hawkings Creek, all proposed dredging
?r*ill be limited to -21-on MLW. In order to connect to the naturally
occurring 2' water depth in Hawkings Creek, a funnel shaped entrance
channel is planned measuring 25' long by 40' wide. This will ensure
water depths of -2.2' in Hawkings.Creek. An extimated 176 cu.yds.
of spoil material will be generated by the proposed project. This
mixture of sand, mud and shell will be placed on the high ground
landward of the existing bulkhead line.
The project design also includes the construction of 78 lin.ft. of
wooden bulkhead around the.interior perimeter of the new boat basin.
10. Anticipated impacts
The onsite inspection revealed no coastal wetlands or submerged
grass beds are involved with the proposed project. In addition,
the proposed 40' x 25' channel passes nearby natural oyster beds.
-However, the SC waters'of Hawkings Creek and the extended area along
the IWW are closed to the harvesting of shellfish. This may be due
to the proximity of the Swansboro.wastewater treatment plant.
CAMA Review -
The 1981 LUP for Swansgoro was reviewed. The proposed project appears
to be consistent with the goals and objectives of that document where
the high ground property is classified as developed and the surface
waters as conservation.

Dear Mr. Parker:
Reference the application of Mr. Robert I. Melville for a
Department of the Army permit to excavate a channel and basin and
construct a bulkhead on Hawkins Creek off the White Oak River,
Swansboro, Onslow County, North Carolina.
The Federal agencies have completed review of the proposal as
presented by the application and your field investigation report.
We recommend that the following conditions be included in the
State authorization:
a. The basin will be excavated from high ground waterward.
An earthen plug will be left between the basin and Hawkins Creek
until excavation landward of the plug has been completed. To
prevent unnecessary sediments from reaching adjacent waters,
24 hours will be .allowed to elapse before the plug is removed.
b. All excavated materials will be confined landward of the
mean high water (MHW) elevation contour and any regularly or
irregularly flooded vegetated wetlands.
c. No excavated or fill materials will be placed at any time
in any vegetated wetlands or waters of the State.
d. Excavation will not exceed 2 feet below the elevation of
mean low water (MLW).

Application for Permit for Excavation and/or Fill
Robert I. Melville - Hawkins Creek
Onslow County
The applicant proposes to excavate a boat basin in the high ground adjacent to
Hawkins Creek. The proposed basin measures 28' into the high ground, by
22' wide to a depth of -2' MLW. In addition a funnel shaped entrance channel
is proposed. The entrance channel would be dredged to a depth of -2.2'
MLW. The project is located adjacent to Hawkins Creek, classified SC.
The project has been reviewed to determine impacts to water quality. The
following comments are offered:
1. The project will require 401 certification, but should meet the conditions
for the general 401 certification for bulkhead construction.
2. No discharge from the spoils area to Hawkins Creek shall occur.
3. Any excess spoils that need to be trucked off site must be dried prior to
removal from site.
4. This office has no objections to this project providing the above

Narrative Description a
0
Mr. Robert Melville has recently purchased
water Heights Subdivision which is located
at 601 West Shore Drive on Hawkings Creek
Lot 19, Block D in Edge-
in'the Town of Swansboro
in Onslow County.
A private residence is situated on this tine-half acre lot which is
well'stabilized with a wooden bulkhead measuring about 1310' long.
The land elevations slope gradually from aproximately a 5' eleva-
tion at the bulkhead to approximately 15' high above MSL near the
City street.
The applicant proposes to excavate a boat basin in the high ground.
The area will measure 28' long,,into the hill by 22' wide. Because
of the shallow water depths in Hawkings Creek, all proposed dredging
will be limited to -21-on MLW. In order to connect to the naturally
occurring 2' water depth in Hawkings Creek, a funnel shaped entrance
channel.is planned measuring 25' long by 40' wide. This will ensure
water depths of -2.2' in Hawkings Creek. An extimated 176 cu.yds.
of spoil material will be generated by the proposed project. This
mixture of sand, mud and shell will be placed on the high ground
landward of the existing bulkhead line.
The project design also includes the construction of 78 lin.ft. of
wooden bulkhead around the.interior perimeter of the new boat basin.
Anticipated impacts
The onsite inspection revealed no 'coastal wetlands or submerged
grass beds are involved with the proposed project. In addition,
the proposed 40' x 25' channel passes nearby natural oyster beds.
However, the SC waters'of Hawkings Creek and the extended area along
the IWW are closed to the harvesting of shellfish. This may be due
to the proximity of the Swansboro wastewater treatment plant.
CAMA Review -
The 1981 LUP for Swansgoro was reviewed. The proposed project appears
to be consistent with the goals and objectives of that document where
the high ground property is classified as developed and the surface
waters as conservation.
