MEMORANDUM
TO: Bill Mills
FROM: George Matthis
G
SUBJECT: William Cochran mod fication
On January 12, 1987 this office denied a CAMA permit
requested by Mr. William Cochran for the excavation of a
boat basin and access channel and construction of a pier
with 8 slips on Pamlico Sound at Ocracoke, Hyde County.
This denial was based on objections from the Division of
Health Services, Shellfish Sanitation Section (closure of
open shellfish waters) and the Division of Marine Fisheries
(excess amount of bottom excavation for a SFR boat basin).
A review of the record indicates your office did not object.
Mr. Cochran has recently submitted a modification of
his proposal that reduces the amount of excavation and size
of the pier. No longer are individual slips proposed.
However, the Shellfish Sanitation Section still objects due
to possible closure of waters even though extensive sampling
by the Division of Marine Fisheries indicates minimal
utilization of the area by shellfish. Virtually no resource
is present.
Given the above information, would this project be
considered as a probable violator of the Anti-Degradation
Policy and/or would your agency now object to this proposal?

Mr. William W. Cochran
27 Treaty Elm Lane
Stow, MA 01775
Dear Mr. Cochran:
This letter is in response to your request for a permit under the Coastal
Area Management Act and the State Dredge and Fill Law to excavate a boat basin
and access channel at your property on the Pamlico Sound at Ocracoke, N. C.
Processing of your application, under a joint State/Federal review, including
onsite investigation by cooperating agencies, is now complete.
Based on this review, the Division of Coastal Management has made the
following findings:
(1) Excavation of the boat basin and access channel will remove significant
areas of shallow water bottom which is a productive system and important
to the overall functioning of the Pamlico Sound fisheries resource;
(2) The potential for elevation of coliform bacteria in public shellfish
harvest areas located in the vicinity of the project will increase, thus
causing a closure of the waters to the taking of shellfish;
(3) Alternatives to the access channel/boat basin proposal are available that
would significantly reduce the impact to adjacent waters;
(4) The need for a basin/docking system of this size is questionable for
single family residences; and,
(5) The project is inconsistent with the following partial listing of State
Guidelines for Areas of Environmental Concern (AECs):
a) 15 NCAC 7H.0206(c). Management Objective (for estuarine waters).
This rule establishes, as the highest priority, the management and
conservation of the important features of estuarine waters so as to
safeguard and perpetuate their biological values;

January 12, 1987
b) 15 NCAC 7H.0206(d). Use Standards. Suitable land/water uses shall be
those consistent with the management objectives in this Rule. Highest
priority of use shall be allocated to the conservation of estuarine
waters and its vital components. Second priority of estuarine waters
use shall be given to those types of development activities that
require water access and use which cannot function elsewhere such as
simple access channels;
c) 15 NCAC 7H.0208(a)(2)(B). This standard requires that there be no
suitable alternative outside of the AEC for the project and that the
applicant select a combination of sites and design that will have a
minimum adverse impact upon coastal marshland, and spawning and
nursery areas;
d) 15 NCAC 7H.0208(a)(2)(C). This standard states that development shall
not violate water and air quality standards;
e) 15 NCAC 7H.0208(b)(1). This standard requires that navigation
channels, canals and boat basins must be aligned so as to avoid
primary nursery areas, highly productive shellfish beds, beds of
submerged vegetation or significant areas of regularly or irregularly
flooded coastal wetlands;
f) 15 NCAC 7H.0208(b)(1)(D). Widths of the canals and channels shall be
the minimum required to meet the applicant's needs and provide
adequate water circulation;
g) 15 NCAC 7H.0209(e)(4). This standard requires that development
(within the estaurine shoreline AEC) not have a significant adverse
impact on estuarine resources; and,
h) 15 NCAC 7H.0602. Pollution of Waters. No development shall be
allowed in any AEC which would have a substantial likelihood of
causing pollution of the waters of the State to the extent that such
waters would be closed to the taking of shellfish under standards set
by the Commission for health services pursuant to G. S. 130-169.01.
Given the foregoing findings, it is necessary that your request for
permits under the Coastal Area Management Act and the State Dredge and Fill
Law be denied. This denial is made under N.C.G.S. 113A-229(e)(5), which
provides for permit denial upon finding a significant adverse impact
on estuarine resources, G. S. 113A-120(2), which requires CAMA permit denial
when the project is found to be inconsistent with the State Dredge and Fill
Law, and G. S. 113A-120(8), which requires denial of projects inconsistent
with the State Guidelines for Areas of Environmental Concern.
If you wish to appeal this denial, you are entitled to a quasi-judicial
hearing to challenge the factual findings or legal conclusions regarding this
denial. A hearing is similar to a trial, involving appearing before a hearing
officer who listens to the evidence and arguments of both parties and then
makes a recommendation to the Coastal Resources Commission. A decision by the

Mr. William W. Cochran

Commission, adverse to you, may be appealed in the courts. Your request for
such a hearing must be in the form of a written petition, complying with the
requirements of Chapter. 150B of the General Statutes of North Carolina, and
must be filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Drawer 11666,
Raleigh, N. C. 27604. The request for a hearing must be submitted to the
Office of Administrative Hearings within twenty days of your receipt of this
letter. A copy of this petition should be filed with this office. Enclosed,
please find a petition which may be used for your hearing request.
If you request a hearing, you have a choice of hearing officers,. either a
hearing officer of the Office of Administrative Hearings, or a hearing officer
selected by the CRC (usually a member of the CRC). Unless you waive your
right to a hearing before the Office of Administrative Hearings, the hearing
will be conducted by a hearing officer of that agency. If you prefer to have
your hearing before a hearing officer of the CRC, you must sign the "Waiver"
contained in the enclosed petition form.
Also, you should be advised that as long as this State permit denial
stands, your project must be deemed inconsistent with the N. C. Coastal
Management program, thereby precluding issuance of Federal permits for this
project. The Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (CZMA) gives the
right to appeal this finding to the U. S. Secretary of Commerce, within 30
days of receipt of this letter. Your appeal must be based on the grounds
that the proposed activity is (1) consistent with the objectives or purposes
of the CZMA, (2) is necessary in the interest of national security, and thus,
may be federally approved.
If you have any questions concerning the appeal procedure, please contact

Dear Mr. Cochran:

By copy of North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and
Community Development letter to you of January 12, 1987, we have
been informed that your application for State authorization to
excavate an access channel and basin and to construct a pier with
mooring pilings off Pamlico Sound in Ocracoke, Hyde County, North
Carolina, has been denied. Under the administrative rules of our
regulatory program, denial of required State authorization
precludes favorable consideration of a Federal permit.
Accordingly, your Department of the Army application is hereby
denied, and your file has been retired.
You may wish to appeal this State decision. Should you do so,
please keep us informed because the outcome of your appeal would
influence our future consideration of your application for Federal
authorization.
Mr. Hugh Heine of my staff is available to answer any
questions you may have or to assist you in developing a revised
plan. He may be reached at telephone [phone].

Dear Mr. Parker:
Reference the application of Mr. William W. Cochran for a Department of
the Army permit to excavate an access channel and basin and construct a pier
with mooring pilings on Pamlico Sound, near Ocracoke, Hyde County, North
Carolina. Also, reference our letter to you of June 12, 1986, and our letter
of September 30, 1986, to the Federal review agencies.
The Federal agencies have reviewed Mr. Cochran's revised plan. We
recommend that the following conditions be included in the State
authorization:
a. All excavated materials will be confined landward of the normal high
water (NHW) elevation contour and any irregularly flooded wetlands within
adequate dikes or other retaining structures to prevent spillover of solids
into any vegetated wetlands or surrounding waters. The limits of the
excavated material retention area will be marked by the permittee and approved
by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management and the Corps of
Engineers prior to commencement of work.
b. The terminal end of the pipeline from the dredge into the diked
retention area will be positioned at or greater than 50 feet from any part of
the dike and at a maximum distance from spillways to prevent dike erosion and
to allow adequate settlement of suspended solids.
c. A water control structure will be installed at the intake end of the
effluent pipe leading from the retention area in order to ensure maximum
settlement of suspended solids.
i

d. Flow from the diked retention area will be confined by pipe, trough,
or similar device to a point at or below the normal low water (NLW) elevation
contour to prevent gully erosion and resultant unnecessary siltation.
e. Neither submerged or emergent wetlands will be excavated or filled.
f. Excavation will not exceed 6 feet below the elevation of normal low
water.
g. The temporary placement or double handling of excavated or fill
materials within waters or vegetated wetlands is not authorized.
h. Use of the permitted activity must not interfere with the public's
right to free navigation on all navigable waters of the United States.
i. If the display of lights and signals on the authorized structure is
not otherwise provided for by law, such lights and signals as may be
prescribed by the U.S. Coast Guard or the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission will be installed and maintained by and at the expense of the
permittee.
J. The permittee will maintain the authorized pier and pilings in good
condition and in conformance with the terms and conditions of this permit.
The permittee is not relieved of this requirement if he abandons the permitted
activity without transferring it to a third party.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Hugh Heine, telephone (919)

SITE DESCRIPTION
The applicant owns lot #4 of the Isaac and John O'Neil heirs tract on Ocracoke
which is at the end of S.R. 1341 and adjacent to Pamlico Sound. The property is very
low and supports a lush stand of Juncus roemerianus and Distichlis s icata. A shallow
ditch transects the property which is connected to the property to the south of S.R.
1341 by a culvert. The marsh area and the property to the south of S.R. 1341 is bound
on all sides by highground and no connection to adjacent waters can be found. These
ridges and roads prevent regular or irregular flooding and therefore this marsh is not
considered coastal wetlands as defined in G.S. 113-229(n)(13) despite the lush marsh
and organic soils. The adjacent waters are very shallow due to a shoal which extends
approximately 700 feet into Pamlico Sound. Review of the 1984 aerial photography
does not indicate any submerged vegetation on this shoal.
The applicant is requesting authorization to dredge a 725 foot long by 50 foot
wide by 6 foot deep channel into Pamlico Sound. This channel will connect the -6
foot waters of the sound to the proposed open water basin which will be 170 feet wide
by 220 feet long. Proposed in the basin is a 170 foot long pier with mooring pilings
to accomodate 10 boats. The channel and basin will be excavated by hydraulic dredge
and the.spoils will be retained in the 300 foot long by 150 wide low area of the
property. The effluent will be returned to waters of Pamlico Sound. The spoil will
be dewatered and smooth to prepare the site for the construction of a 4 bedroom
single family residence. The reported purpose of the proposed p roject is to construct
a private residence and boating facility.
ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The project will result in the excavation of 73,650 square feet of shallow water
habitat in Pamlico Sound. The disposal area contains 45,000 square feet of isolated
Juncus roemerianus and Distichlis s icata marsh. The effluent from the diked disposal
area will return to Pamlico Sound. Approximately 6,098 cubic yards of spoil will be
generated by this proposal and the diked disposal area should be able to hold 10,000
cubic yards of materials. The spoil will be primarily sand, therefore, the spoil
disposal area should be adequate to retain the spoil. The channel will connect the
-6 foot deep basin with waters as deep in Pamlico Sound.
CAMA REVIEW
The project site is classified as developed in the Hyde County Land Use Plan.

This is in response to the subject public notice proposing to dredge a
channel and boat basin and fill a black needlerush wetland on Ocracoke
Island, Hyde County, North Carolina. The applicant is requesting author-
ization to dredge a 725-ft. long by 50-ft. wide by 6-ft. deep channel
into Pamlico Sound.
The channel will connect the -6 ft. waters of the Sound to the proposed
open water basin which will be 170-ft. wide by 220-ft. long. Within the
proposed basin, the applicant intends to construct a 170-ft. long pier
with mooring pilings to acccmodate 10 boats.
The channel and basin will be excavated by hydraulic dredge and the spoils
will be utilized to fill an onsite wetland area for the construction of a
private residence. As a result of this fill activity, approximately
45,000 sq. ft. of black needlerush (Juncus roemerianus) and saltgrass
(Distichlis sip rata) will be eliminated.
In addition, the dredging activity will remove about 73,650 sq. ft. of
shallow water habitat%ft m the Pamlico Sound. It is evident that the
proposed activity will eliminate a valuable aquatic resource, and will
result in significant, unacceptable adverse environmental impacts.
Consequently, it is our belief that the proposed project is contrary to
the Section 404 Guidelines and should be denied.
Sincerely yours,
ii .

I -R QUALITY SEC
Enclosed is the application of Mr. William W. Cochran II for a
Department of the Army permit and a State Water Quality
Certification to excavate an access channel and basin, construct a
pier, and place excavated material in wetlands on Pamlico Sound,
near Ocracoke, Hyde 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 June 27, 1986, the District Engineer
will deem that waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Hugh Heine,
telephone [phone].
Sincerely,

Charles W. Hollis

Broomfield, Colorado 80020
Dear Mr. Cochran:
On February 6, 1986, we renewed general permit No. SAWCO80-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 April 25, 1986, for a
Department of the Army permit to excavate an access channel and
basin, construct a pier, and place excavated materials in wetlands
on Pamlico Sound, near Ocracoke, Hyde 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. SAWCO86-N-048--0259 and will be coordinated by
Mr. Hugh Heine. He is available to address questions or comments
you may have at telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
Charles W. Hollis
Chief, Regulatory Branch

Dear Mr. Parker:
Reference the application of Mr. William W. Cochran for a
Department of the Army permit to construct a pier, excavate an
access channel and basin and place excavated materials in wetlands
on Pamlico Sound, near Ocracoke, Hyde 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 May 30, June 2, June 4 and June 6, 1986 (copies
enclosed), the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, the
National Marine Fisheries Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
respectively, recommended denial of authorization. All four
agencies objected to the loss of approximately 45,000 square feet
of vegetated wetlands, black needlerush (Juncus roemerianus) and
salt grass (Distichlis spicata), and the excavation of
approximately 73,650 square feet of shallow water habitat. They
also question the need for such an expansive facility associated
with a single family residence. The construction of a simple pier
and associated minor dredging of nonproductive substrate, with
highground retention, would not be objectionable. We support the
recommendations to deny authorization of the application as
presented.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Hugh Heine,
telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
Charles W. Hollis
Chief, Regulatory Branch
