Dear Mr. Parker:

?Af ^ !
Z ;
Reference the application of Mr. Jerry L. Lee for a Department
of the Army permit to excavate a canal and boat basin, and
construct a boat ramp and construct and backfill a bulkhead off
Pettiford Creek, near Cape Carteret, Carteret 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. To minimize increases in turbidity levels outside the work
area, the basin will be excavated prior to any excavation of the
_ canal.
b. An earthen plug will be left between the inland basin and
the canal extending to Pettiford 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.
c. All excavated materials will be confined landward of the
mean high water (MHW) elevation contour within adequate dikes or
other retaining structures to prevent spillover of solids into any
vegetated wetlands or surrounding waters.
-2-
ti
y
d. 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.
e. Sufficient freeboard will be maintained within the diked
retention area during the dredging operation to assure the
integrity of the dike structure and the containment of excavated
material.
f. 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.
g. Flow from the diked retention area will be confined by
pipe, trough, or similar device to a point at or below the mean
low water (MLW) elevation contour to prevent gully erosion and
resultant unnecessary siltation.
h. No excavated or fill materials will be placed at any time
in any vegetated wetlands or waters of the State.
i. Excavation will not exceed 4 feet below the elevation of
mean low water (MLW).
j. The temporary placement or double handling of excavated or
fill materials within waters or vegetated wetlands is not
authorized.
k. 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.
1. The concentration of settleable solids in the effluent
from the diked disposal will not be greater that 0.1 ml/l.
m. Every reasonable effort will be made to perform the work
in a manner to prevent excessive increases in turbidity and
settleable solids concentrations in the water body.
n. The retention area dikes and the earthern banks landward
of the bulklhead will be stabilized with vegetative cover as soon
as possible after construction to minimize erosion.
-3-

o. Construction of the bulkhead will not restrict stream or
tidal flows or drainage of adjacent areas.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. David Baker,

Subject: Regional Office Review & Recommendations
Application for Permit for Excavation and/or Fill
Jerry Louis Lee
Carteret County
The applicant proposes to maintenance excavate an existing mosquito canal
which runs adjacent to his property. This canal would be used as an access
channel leading to a new 60' by 40' highground boat basin. This new basin would
also be bulkheaded. This work would be done adjacent to Pettiford Creek,
classified SA and currently closed to shellfishing.
The project will require a 401 Certification. It is recommended that the
following conditions be included in this Certification:
1. That the terminal end of the pipeline from the dredge into the retention
area be positioned at a maximum distance from spillways to allow adequate
settlement of suspended solids and a sufficient distance from any part of
the dike so as to preclude dike erosion by the pipeline discharge.
2. That a water control structure be installed at the intake end of the
effluent pipe leading from the retention area in order to insure maximum
settlement of suspended solids and control of discharge volumes.
3. That the flow from the diked retention area be contained by pipe, metal or
wooden trough, or similar device to a point waterward of any emergent
vegetation along the shoreline.
4. That sufficient freeboard be maintained within the diked disposal area
during the dredging operation to assure the integrity of the dike structure
and the containment of the dredged material.
5. That the concentration of settleable solids in the effluent being discharged
from the diked disposal area be not greater than 0.1 ml/1.

6. That disposal area dikes be stabilized with vegetative cover as soon as
possible after construction to minimize erosion.
7. That earthen banks adjacent to the bulkhead be stabilized with vegetative
cover as soon as possible after construction to minimize erosion.
8. That construction of the bulkhead not restrict stream or tidal flows or
drainage of adjacent areas.
9. That every reasonable effort be made to perform the work in a manner
that will prevent excessive increases in turbidity and settleable solids
concentrations in the water body.
10. To minimize increases in turbidity levels outside the work area, the
highground basin should be built prior to any hydraulic dredge work done
in the canal.
The proposed project should not violate water quality standards if the above
conditions are met.

9. Narrative description
Jerry L. Lee, the applicant, owns a one acre tract of land that
adjoins a man-made mosquito ditch located just off Hwy 58 and
SR 1111 above the Pettiford Creek Bridge in Carteret County.
Mr. Lee proposes to maintenance excavate the 520' long ditch
which averages 16' wide to a depth of -4' relative to mean
low-water. The new.access canal will extend through a section
of high marsh vegetation. This new access cut will average
approximately 16' wide and will displace about 900 sq.*ft. of
salt meadow hay, saltgrass, and black needlerush. The access
canal will terminate in the high ground property where the
applicant proposes to excavate a basin which will measure
60' wide by-401 long by 4' deep. A drag line will remove
approximately 600 cu. yds. of earthen material from this
basin area. The material will be used to create the diked
disposal area as shown on the work plat drawing. In order
to stabilize the basin, the applicant proposes to bulkhead
the entire shoreline with some 180 li. ft. of salt treated
structure. The marsh interface will be left open and un-
bulkheaded. 'According to the application, all maintenance
dredging within the ditch will be accomplished by a small
4" hydralic dredge mounted on a barge. The dredge will pump
approximately 1500 cu. vds. of silty mud to the high ground
disposal site. The applicant has made a clear statement on
the work plat drawing that says no marsh grass will be
excavated along either side of the ekisting ditch.
Additional information supplied by the applicant indicates
that-the mosquito ditch was originally dug by Carteret County
around 1966 or 1967. Today the ditch has silted in and is
very shallow, to the point.that the upper portion of the
ditch ebb dries on low tide. Salt marsh cord grass has
reestablished and encroached along both sides of the original
inter-tidal banks. The ditch separates the remnants of old
Hwy 58 on the west side and an extensive marsh complex which
braces Pettiford Creek on the east side. The entrance to the
mosquito ditch is approximately 1701 above or upstream of
the Hwy 58 bridge. A determination has been made that
Pettiford Creek, upstream of the bridge, is considered
Inland Waters.of the state by the North Carolina Wildlife
Commission,. while the Division of Environmental Management
classifies these waters as SA. All of the waters below, that
is downstream of the bridge, have been designated as_a Primary
Nursery Area by the Division of Marine Fisheries. Above
the bridge, Pettiford Creek is designated as a Secondary
Nursery Area by the Marine Fisheries.
110. Anticipated Impacts
The proposed maintenance excavation within the ditch will
directly displace the useability of the silty mud bottom
which covers 7686 sq. ft. it will change the productive
mosquito ditch into a 4' deep access canal. The increased
' water depths, along with increased boat traffic or increased
use will probably cause some bank erosion of the salt marsh
cord grass which borders the ditch. At the north end of the
project, the excavation will destroy about 900 sq. ft. of
high marsh vegetation. At present this type of mar.9h
vegetation provides a significant buffer zone between upland
runoff and the adjacent estuarine waters of the mosquito ditch.
One viable alternative to the proposed excavation was
rejected by the applicant. That alternative simply suggested
that the applicant moor his recreational/commercial skiff
closer to the mouth of the ditch where water access can be
made on any tidal condition.

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 November 4, 1986, for a
Department of the Army permit to excavate a canal and boat basin,
construct a boatramp, and,bulkhead and backfill off of Pettiford
Creek at your property located on the eastern side of old N.C.
Highway 58 near Cape Carteret, Carteret 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-016-0061 and will be coordinated by David

Dear Mr. Mills:

QPERATiONS BRAMC4!
Enclosed is the application of Mr. Jerry Lee for a Department
of the Army permit and a State Water Quality Certification to
discharge excavated/fill material in Pettiford Creek in
conjunction with the excavation of a private canal and boat basin
off of N.C. Highway 58 near Cape Carteret, Carteret 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 January 5, 1987, the District Engineer
will deem that waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to David Baker,
telephone [phone].

Charles W. Hollis
