FIELD INVESTIGATION RE-PORT - JOHN S. BLANTON, JR.
PAGE #2
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The proposed maintenance project is
located on the south side of Harkers Island on Back Sound. The
2.1 acre tract consists mostly of a cleared grassy area with a
house and a few small boat and storage buildings.
The basin is approximately 200' x 50-60' wide with a mean
low water depth of -3 and an access channel which is 40-45'
wide that extends approximately 30' out from mean high
water.
The applicant proposes to dredge out a 100' x 50' x -3 area
which has shoaled at the mouth of the basin. The proposed
dredge spoil, about 600 cubic yards of sand, will be
,deposited on highground immediately adjacent to the basin.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: At the mouth of the basin where the
area has shoaled in, a 65' long by 3' wide fringe of
Spartina alterniflora and Spartina patens has become
established since the last maintenance dredging. This
proposed maintenance will remove an area of about 200 sq.
ft. of marsh.
The adjacent waters of Back Sound are classified "SA" by the
Division of Environmental Management and are designated as
open to shellfishing by the Division of Health Services.

MILE QUALITY SECTION
OPERATIONS BRANCH
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 Korth Carolina.
A review of your application received October 26, 1987, for a
Department of'the Army permit to maintain a channel/canal and
basin on Back Sound, Harkers Island, Carteret County, North
Carolina, indicates it to be a candidate for Federal authorization
under this general permit. A~cordingly, 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If your application must be withdrawn from this general permit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, has been assigned Ko. SA-VC088-N-016-0038 and will be
coordinated by Mr. David Baker. He is available to address
questions or comments you may have at telephone [phone].
Sincerely,

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT - JOHN S. BLANTON, JR.
PAGE #2
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The proposed maintenance project is
located on the south side of Harkers Island on Back Sound. The
2.1 acre tract consists mostly of a cleared grassy area with a
house and a few small boat and storage buildings.
The basin is approximately 200' x 50-60' wide with a mean
low water depth of -3 and an access channel which is 40-45'
wide that extends approximately 30' out from mean high
water.
The applicant proposes to dredge out a 100' x 50' x -3 area
which has shoaled at the mouth of the basin. The proposed
dredge spoil, about 600 cubic yards of sand, will be
deposited on highground immediately adjacent to the basin.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: At the mouth of the basin where the
area has shoaled in, a 65' long by 3' wide fringe of
Spartina alterniflora and Spartina patens has become
established since the last maintenance dredging. This
proposed maintenance will remove an area of about 200 sq.
ft. of marsh.
The adjacent waters of Back Sound are classified "SA" by the
Division of Environmental Management and are designated as
open to shellfishing by the Division of Health Services.
