Enclosed is the application of Ms. Grace Mansperger for
Department of the Army authorization and a State Water Quality
Certification to construct and backfill a bulkhead on Bath Creek
adjacent her property, Lot No. 1, Sawmill Landing Subdivison,
Bath, Beaufort 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 authorizing 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 a reasonable time
for State action. Therefore, if you have not acted on the request
by April 24, 1988, the District Engineer will deem that waiver has
occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Ernest Jahnke,

A review of your application received February 16, 1983, for
Department of the Army authorization to construct and backfill a
bulkhead on Bath Creek adjacent your property, Lot No. 1, Sawmill
Landing Subdivision, Bath, Beaufort 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If your application must be withdrawn from this general permit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 informed regarding its further

8. Project summary The applicant is proposing to construct 184.71' of bulkhead along
Bath Creek in Sawmill Landing Subdivision.

Environmental settin
The applicant owns lot #1 in Sawmill Landing Subdivision on Bath Creek in Beaufort
County. Located on the lot is a single family dwelling which is being served by a
septic tank sewage disposal system. Also located on the lot is a private pier.
The entire lot except for the area where the house is located is being utilized
as a lawn. One small wetland area is located adjacent to the creek next to lot #2.
The applicant is experiencing erosion along the shoreline. This is evident by a
severe erosion scarp and several undercut trees.
Project proposal-
The applicant is proposing to construct 184.71' of bulkhead along Bath Creek to retard
ongoing erosion. The bulkhead will average 2.5' beyond the NWL and will be 5.0'
beyond the NWL at the furthest point. The confined area landward of the bulkhead
will be backfilled with materials from an upland source. The bulkhead will be
stopped at the northern edge of the wetland area. This area will not be disturbed.
Environmental impact
The project as proposed should have a minimal environmental impact. No wetland
vegetation will be excavated and/or filled. + 4,600 sq.ft. of open water area will
be filled landward of the bulkhead.

In addition to the completed application form, the
following. items must be submitted:
A copy of the deed (with state application only) or
other instrument under which the applicant claims
title to the affected property. If the applicant is not
