SUBJECT: Application for CAMA Permit
James Poole
Pamlico County
The Subject application has been reviewed for water
quality impacts and the following comments are offered:
a) The proposed project does require a 401 Water
Quality Certification but meets the requirements
of General Certification No. 1273 for discharges
of liquid effluent from diked upland disposal
areas.
b) It is recommended that the permit specify that
excavation not exceed 6 feet.

8. PROJECT SUMMARY: Applicant proposes to perform maintenance excav-
ation on existing canal and basin, replace existing filled road _
crossinq with culverts and fill and construct a 50' x 4' pier.
FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT - JAMES GREGORY POOLE, JR.
PAGE #2
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The applicant's property is located
off of SR 1224, near Mesic, on Gales Creek Point, at Gales
Creek, No Jacket Creek and Bay River, in Pamlico County.
The applicant has a 51 acre tract of land with an existing
filled road crossing over a previously excavated canal..
Other man-made features on the property include a bulkheaded
boat basin and road. The property is about..50o highground
and 50% wetlands (mixed 404 and coastal wetlands).
The applicant previously received Permit #163-75 (on October
16, 1975) from the North Carolina Department of Natural and
Economic Resources and Permit #SAWKS 75-69-23-491 (November
13, 1975) from the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers to dredge
and fill and to construct bulkheads and a pier.
The applicant's new proposed project is to remove the
existing filled road canal crossing and replace it with
three (3) 6' x 20' culverts and fill, and also to bulkhead
the new crossing. The applicant also proposes to perform
maintenance dredging in the canal and boat basin, repair the
existing basin and bulkhead, and construct a new 50' x 4'
floating pier within the existing basin.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The project as proposed will excavate
from below MHW approximately 2,000 cu. yds. of sand and
shell material from the 400' x 30' canal and the 80' x 70'
boat basin, and approximately 500 cu. yds. of material from
above MHW will be excavated. This excavation will be to a
depth of -6' MLW. Within this area of proposed maintenance
excavation, approximately 640 sq. ft. of coastal wetlands
(about 350 sq. ft. of Spartina alterniflora, 240 sq. ft. of
Spartina cynosuroides, and 50 sq. fit. of Spartina patens)
will be lost. The spoil materials are to be placed in a
150' x 150' diked area on highground.
An additional impact will include the 200 sq. ft. of
estuarine waters that will be covered with the proposed
pier.
The placement of the culverts in the canal may possibly
improve the flushing action in the canal. The waters of
Gales Creek and No Jacket Creek are classified by "SA" by
the Division of Environmental Management, open to
shellfishing by the Division of Health Services, and the
waters of No Jacket Creek are designated as a Primary
Nursery Area by the Division of Marine Fisheries.

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT - JAMES GREGORY POOLE, JR.
PAGE #2
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The applicant's property is located
off of SR 1224, near Mesic, on Gales Creek Point, at Gales
Creek, No Jacket Creek and Bay River, in Pamlico County.
The applicant has a 512 acre tract of land with an existing
filled road crossing over a previously excavated canal.
Other man-made features on the property include a bulkheaded
boat basin and road. The property is about 50% highground
and 50% wetlands (mixed 404 and coastal wetlands).
The applicant previously received Permit #163-75 (on October
16, 1975) from the North Carolina Department of Natural and
Economic Resources and Permit #SAWKS 75-69-23-491 (November
13, 1975) from the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers to dredge
and fill and to construct bulkheads and a pier.
The applicant's new proposed project is to remove the
existing filled road canal crossing and replace it with
three (3) 6' x 20' culverts and fill, and also to bulkhead
the new crossing. The applicant also proposes to perform
maintenance dredging in the canal and boat basin, repair the
existing basin and bulkhead, and construct a new 50' x 4'
floating pier within the existing basin.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The project as proposed will excavate
from below MHW approximately 2,000 cu. yds. of sand and
shell material from the 400' x 30' canal and the 80' x 70'
boat basin, and approximately 500 cu. yds. of material from
above MHW will be excavated. This excavation will be to a
depth of -6' MLW. Within this area of proposed maintenance
excavation, approximately 640 sq. ft. of coastal wetlands
(about 350 sq. ft. of Spartina alterniflora, 240 sq. ft. of
Spartina cynosuroides, and 50 sq. ft. of Spartina patens)
will be lost. The spoil materials are to be placed in a
150' x 150' diked area on highground.
An additional impact will include the 200 sq. ft. of
estuarine waters that will be covered with the proposed
pier.
The placement of the culverts in the canal may possibly
improve the flushing action in the canal. The waters of
Gales Creek and No Jacket Creek are classified by "SA" by
the Division of Environmental Management, open to
shellfishing by the Division of Health Services, and the
waters of No Jacket Creek are designated as a Primary
Nursery Area by the Division of Marine Fisheries.

Enclosed is the application of Mr. James Gregory Poole, Jr.,
for Department of the Army authorization and a State Water Quality
Certification to maintain a canal and basin, replace a road
crossing with culverts and fill and construct a pier on Gales
Creek, Bay River, Gales Creek Point, near Mesic, in Pamlico
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 May 23, 1988, the District Engineer will deem that waiver has
occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Ernest Jahnke,

On February 6, 1986, we renewed general permit No. SAWC080-N-
000-0291 (copy enclosed), which provides Federal authorization for
construction activities that receive authorization from the State
of North Carolina.
A review of your application received March 18, 1988, for
Department of the Army authorization to maintain a canal and
basin, replace a road crossing with culverts and fill and
construct a pier on Gales Creek, Bay River, Gales Creek Point,
near Mesic, in Pamlico 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-069-0239 and will be coordinated by
Mr. Ernest Jahnke. He is available at telephone [phone].
