Dear Mr. Parker:

Reference the March 14, 1986, revised application of Waff
Contracting, Incorporated, for a Department of the Army permit to
excavate a barge canal and basin off the Chowan River, near
Edenton, Chowan County, North Carolina.
The Federal agencies have completed review of the modified
plan. We recommend that the following conditions be included in
the State authorization:
a. Excavation of cutover forested wetlands will be
accomplished in strict accordance with the modified plan submitted
with the revised application dated March*14, 1986.
b. To mitigate wetland losses, the permittee will, at the
time of excavation or prior to excavation of the basin, restore to
the contour of adjacent wetlands, a 1.0 acre, irregularly-shaped
tract of previously filled wetlands identified to the permittee by
fe Service on April 2, 1986. Prior to the
connection of the basin to the Chowan•River, the completed
mitigation will be inspected by the Corps of Engineers and/or the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
c. An earthen plug will be left between the inland canal and
the Chowan River until excavation landward of the plug has been
completed and the mitigation area has been accepted. To prevent
unnecessary sediments from reaching adjacent waters, at least 24
hours will be allowed to elapse before the plug is removed.
w -2-
O'_
;OP
d. In order to protect anadromous fish during migration, no
excavation will be permitted between the dates of March 15 and
June 15 of any year.
e. All excavated materials will be confined landward of the
normal water elevation contour and any wetlands.
f. No excavated materials will be placed at any time in any
vegetated wetlands or waters of the State.
g. Vegetated wetlands will not be excavated or filled.
h. Excavation will not exceed 4 feet below the elevation of
normal water.
i. The temporary placement or double handling of excavated or
fill materials within waters or vegetated wetlands is not
authorized.
3. The activity will be conducted in such a manner as to
prevent a significant increase in turbidity outside the area of
construction or construction-related discharge. Increases such
that the turbidity in the waterbody is 25 NTU's or less are not
considered significant.
k. Equipment, operating over waters or wetlands will be
supported by timber matting.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. David Baker,
telephone [phone].

Reference the application of Waff Contracting, Incorporated,
for a Department of the Army permit to excavate a barge canal and
basin off the Chowan River, near Edenton, Chowan County, North
Carolina.
The Federal agencies have completed review of the proposal as
presented by the application and your field investigation report.
By letters of November 26 and December 6, 1985 (copies enclosed),
the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency and the National Marine
Fisheries recommended that authorization for excavation of the
basin area, as sited, be denied. By telephone conversation, the
U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service informed us that they concur with
the other agencies' recommendations. All agencies refer to the
significant, adverse impact of the loss of approximately 72,000
square feet of wooded wetland and 179,500 square feet of shallow
water habitat. As less damaging locations for excavation of the
basin are available, we support the j? Leiiiiiii ll(;Jlj:? 11:41,11!r
agenc es
o t e application and suggest modification of
the plans to resite the basin.

Dear Colonel Hanson: SE6 I N
This is in response to the subject public notice proposingo
construct a boat basin and access channel along commercial ?•RC•
property off U.S. 17 adjacent to the Chowan River, Chowan
County, North Carolina.
The applicant proposes to construct an access channel, a boat
basin, and concrete jetties. This barge loading/unloading
facility would function as a different entity from the adjacent
identical existing operation. The proposed work would involve
excavation of a 700 ft. x 240 ft. x - 12 ft. MWL access
channel into the Chowan River. Adjacent to this channel, 2
rock jetties, 250 ft. x 15 ft. x 10 ft., are proposed to
extend into the Chowan River. The proposed boat basin would
be approximately 430 ft. x 270 ft. and would be created
entirely. within a wooded wetland.
As a result of this activity, approximately 72,000 sq. ft.
of wooded wetland will be removed by the boat basin con -
tion and 179,500 sq. ft. of w-water river
iminated by the creation of the access
channel and jetties.
Wooded wetlands perform valuable functions to aquatic systems
including: fish and wildlife values, detrital export, water
quality services, and vital stormwater retention capabilities.
In addition, the bottom area of the Chowan River at the
proposed project site is an.important nursery site for juvenile
populations of river herings (Alsoa sp.), white perch (Morone
americana), and stripped bass (Morone saxatilis).
It is clear that the dredge and fill activity will eliminate
a valuable aquatic resources, and will result in unacceptable
f

adverse environmental impacts. Consequently, it is our opinion
that the subject permit application should be denied.

SITE DESCRIPTION `

The applicant's property is an 8 ar-re tract oi''land located off U.S.
17 on the Chowan River just as you enter Chowan County across the bridge
from Washington County. The site is located on the southern side of U.S.
17 and immediately south of a large, existing boat basin which is owned
and operated by Waff Brothers, Inc. A large portion of the applicant's
property consists of wooded wetlands which his recently,been-cat over-
except for a narrow fringe along the Chowan River which was left intact.
This cut-over Area is already beginning to re-establish itself with- wooded
wetland vegetation such as red maple, black gum, and bay.
The remaining portion of the applicant's property consists of land
which has been filled in over the years with wooden-debris. The U.S.
Army Corps of Enginee-rs'has delimited their 404 jurisdiction for this site
and,,i.t %s reflected in the application drawings (sheet #2).' The waters of
the Chowan River at this location are classified by the DEM as "SC". The
bottom areas of the Chowan River at this location-is sandy and the shallow
water areas are important nursery areas for juvenile populations of river
herrings, white perch, rockfish, and catfish.

The applicant is requesting a permit which would authorize the
excavation of an access channel apd boat basin and the construction of
_concrete jetties in order to operate a barge loading/unloading facility
which would operate as a different entity from the adjacent existing
operation owned by Waff Brothers, Inc. Plans submitted with the applicatio
show the excavation of an approximately 700 feet long by up to 240 feet
wide (top width) by minus 12 feet NWL deep access channel into the Chowan
River. Adjacent to this channel, 2 rock jetties are also proposed to
extend into the Chowan River. Each jetty would be approximately,250 feet
long by 15 feet wide (bottom width) and up to 10 feet in height. The'
proposed boat basin is to be located into the applicant's property and
will be approximately 430 feet long by 120 feet,to 270 feet wide (top
width) by mihus 12 feet NWL deep. This 720,000 square feet boat basin
will be excavated entirely with wooded wetland with the spoils being
placed on the previously filled area adjacent to the basin to drain and
then being hauled to a high ground disposal site off S.R. 1204. The
applicant has indicated that an. earthen.plug would be left intact until
the inland excavation was complete. w

ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
If
The project as proposed would result to the exaavati.on of approxi.matel
164,500 square feet of Chowan River bottom with approximately 30,500 cubic
yards of primary sand materials being excavated. Th.e majority of the chann
excavation will be accomplished by barge.with dragline and clamshell bucket
Spoils will be placed on an adjacent barge and deposited. on the designated
spoil area adjacent to the boat basin. Increased levels to turbidity
levels can be expected by this excavation but it's negative impact could
be lessened if,the project was timed to avoid periods of adult anadromous
fish migration and periods of juvenile development. Also, approximately
7,500 square feet of river bottom would be filled by the proposed concrete
jetties. Approximately 1,000 cubic yards of concrete material would be
placed below the NWL.
The proposed boat basin would result in the direct loss of approximate
72,000 square feet of wooden wetland and habitat areas with the excavation
of approximately 40,000 cubic yards of organic and sand substrate materials
The spoils derived from this excavation would also be placed on an adjacent
spoil disposal area to drain, then hauled off to a high ground disposal
area of S.R. 1204. These wooded wetlands provide important habitat areas
for many species of wildlife and provides cover, food and nesting areas
for them. These wetlands also act as important buffer areas to adjacent
water bodies by filtering out pollutants and sediments from runoff and
thus helping maintain good water quality. They also provide a source of
detritus material which is a basic component of the aquatic food web.

Dear Mr. Mills:
Enclosed is the application of Waff Contracting,
Incorporated for a Department of the Army permit and a State
Water Quality Certification to construct a boat basin and access
channel for a barge loading/unloading facility off the Chowan
River near Edenton, Chowan 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 23, 1985, the District
Engineer will deem that waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. David Baker,
telephone [phone].

Please find enclosed the permit application for the construction of
a boat basin and access channel. The boat basin and access channel
will serve as a barge loading/unloading facility for various marine
construction projects undertaken by Waff Contracting Inc.. Because of
the shallow water depth of the Chowan River,dredging will be required.
All dredging will be accomplished by clamshell and transported to the
fill and/or disposal sites as indicated on the permit application.
The area on drawing #2 that is shown as "exempted from the fill permit"
was designated as being suitable to allow the placement of fill material
on it as a result of your visit to the construction site on 11 September
1985.
Should there be any questions regarding this permit application, please
do not hesitate to call me.
We thank you for your prompt attention to this application and look
forward to working with you on this project.
