A review of your application received April 21, 1988, for Department of the Army authorization to construct a boatwalk and piers to establish boatslips and to place riprap material on the Roanoke River, Plymouth, Washington 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 If your application must be withdrawn from this general permit process for any reason, you will be informed regarding its further management. If there are no unresolved differences in State- Federal positions or policies, the final action taken on your application by the State will result in your receiving written notice from us that your application is consistent with the general permit and you may commence your activity. 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. SAWCO88-N-094-0298 and will be coordinated by Mr. Ernest Jahnke.

Project summary Applicant is proposing landscaping of 2 acres along the Roanoke River with a 300 ft boardwalk with 4 boat slips, 3 picnic shelters connected by 300' wooden walkways, and 475' of ri ra for shoreline stabilization +,2 acres ± 2,3 5 sct. ft. + 2.05 acres Environmental setting The applicant, the Town of Plymouth, owns this tract of land off Water Street in downtown Plymouth, adjacent to the Roanoke River. 1.1he property has an average elevation of 5.5' above normal water level and has sandy soil. The property is vegetated with upland vines and grasses with a fringe of gums, maples and a few plants of Typha spp. along the river edge. Project proposal The applicant is proposing to develop the property into a public access area adjacent to the Roanoke River. The proposed development is as follows: 1. 300' long by 8' wide boardwalk running along the river shoreline with four 20' by 6' piers to serve as boat slips. The water depth at the waterward end of the piers is -12'. 2. Three 16' diameter picnic shelters connected by a 300' long by 4' wide wooden walkway. 3. Riprap placed along the shoreline 475' long by 5' wide not to exceed 2 feet into the Roanoke River for shoreline stabilization. 4. An area of + 2 acres will be landscaped, and seeded of which approximately 1 acre is within the 75' estuarine shoreline AEC. Environmental impact The project as proposed should have minimal environmental impact. No wetland vegetation will be excavated or filled and the riprap along the shoreline while altering the shoreline habitat may provide some positive benefit in terms of the wildlife and finfish species using that area. The boardwalk and piers will be elevated above the water and shoreline, and impervious surface proposed is estimated at 1% of the project area. Joseph S.

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 June 25, 1988, the District Engineer will deem that waiver has occurred.
