WA'ei 1,16 f`
June 30, 1988
MR. WILLIAM H. STEPP AND MR. DON H. GARREN, 112 SOUTH MAIN STREET,
HENDERSONVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA 28739, have applied for a Department of the
Army after-the-fact permit TO AUTHORIZE THE PLACEMENT OF FILL MATERIAL IN
WETLANDS ADJACENT TO AND JUST NORTH OF MUD CREEK, ON N.C. 25 NEAR NAPLES,
HENDERSON COUNTY, North Carolina.
This public notice does not imply, on the parts of the Corps of Engineers
or other agencies, either favorable or unfavorable opinion of the work
performed; but it is issued to solicit comments on the factors listed above on
which a final decision will be based. Legal action has been suspended pending
the outcome of this consideration.
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the
applicant and from observations made during an onsite visit by a
representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the
application show that fill material, mainly composed of spoil material from
several local construction sites, has been piled approximately 15 feet high in
places, in a 219-foot-long by 150-foot-wide wetland adjacent to Mud Creek.
Vegetation present on this site includes red maple (Acer rubrum), alder (Alnus
serrulata), birch (Betula nigra), with Juncus sp. being the dominant
herbaceous species. The soil is saturated and is "mushy". The purpose of the
work is to dispose of construction site spoil. Plans showing the work are
included with this public notice.
The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine
the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No
Department of the Army permit will be issued until the coordinated State
viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor
will a Department of the Army permit be issued until the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management has determined the applicability of a
Water Quality Certificate as required by PL 92-500.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Clean
Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within the
comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing be held to
consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with
particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.
-2-
The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the
National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered
properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein, and
this worksite is not registered property or property listed as being eligible
for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register
constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District
Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources.
Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical
data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit.
The District Engineer has determined, based on a review of data furnished
by the applicant and onsite observations, that the activity will not affect
species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened
pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of
the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity
and its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable
impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires a
careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular
case. The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the
proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The
decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which
it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the
general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern
for both protection and_ utilizat on__of__impor_tant resour-ces-. All factors-which- -
- may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumulative
effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general
environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values,
flood hazards and flood plain values (in accordance with Executive Order
11988), land use, navigation, shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water
supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber
production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in
general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the
placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, a
permit will be denied if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit
would not comply with the Environmental Protection Agencies' 404(b)(1)
guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any other applicable
guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District Engineer
determines that it would be contrary to the public interest.
Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army
permit will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (DEM) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The DEM considers whether or not the
proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the
Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the Department of
the Army permit serves as application to the DEM for certification.

Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be
reviewed at the offices of the Environmental Operations Section, North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Salisbury Street, Archdale
Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished
to any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs.
The North Carolina Division of Environmental Management plans to take
final action in the issuance of the Clean Water Act certification on or after
July 22, 1988.
All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean
Water Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Post Office Box 27687, Raleigh,
North Carolina 27611-7687, on or before July 14, 1988, Attention:
Mr. William Mills.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will
be received in this office, Attention: Mr. Jeff Richter, until 4:15 p.m.,

MEMORANDUM

FROM: Bill Mills ;
Mike William
THROUGH: A. Preston 001ward,

Jr)SUBJECT: Revised Comments
Addendum To April 15, 1988
Waterway Associates, Inc.
Carteret County
Memorandum
- Shearwater Resort
This is to provide additional clarification of earlier comments
submitted by this office on April 15, 1988, concerning wastewater
treatment and disposal for the proposed Shearwater Resort.
The applicant has recently indicated that an application for
utility status has not been submitted to the N. C. Utilities
Commission. Although the application was prepared, it was never
submitted. In order for the Division Of Environmental Management
to permit the non-discharge type waste treatment facility, a
licensed utility status must be obtained. Otherwise, the
Department Of Human Resources would be the appropriate permitting
agency.
This office has made a preliminary review of the proposed
wastewater disposal site and feel that the soils are suitable for
disposal of wastewater from the proposed project. However, final
determination of acceptable loading rates (which dictat4l"ljknd area
requirements) can only be made after completion of aquifer testing
(i.e., pump test). Nevertheless, given the facts that (1) there
are similar disposal facilities in the area, and (2) the project
scope has been reduced significantly (reduction in units from 225
to 120) resucting in a much less intense development of the
property and significantly more available land for waste disposal; I
believe that there is a high probability that a permit can be
issued for wastewater treatment and disposal on the site.
If you have any further questions concerning this matter, please
advise.

Dear Mr. Parker:

Reference the application of Waterway Associates,
Incorporated, represented by Mr. Paul Berry, for a Department of
the Army permit to construct marina facilities on Bogue Sound,
southeast of Swansboro, 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. An earthen plug will be left between the basin and Bogue
Sound until excavation landward of the plug has been completed.
To prevent sedimentation in adjacent waters, 24 hours will be
allowed to elapse before the plug is removed.
b. 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.
c. The diked, excavated material retention area will be
constructed a sufficient distance from the mean high water (MHW)
elevation contour and any marsh to eliminate the possibility of
dike erosion into or upon any marsh and/or surrounding waters.
-2-

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 a maximum distance from spillways to
prevent dike erosion and to allow adequate settlement of suspended
solids.
e. 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.
f. 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
siltation.
g. Excavation will not exceed 4 feet below the elevation of
mean low water (MLW).
h. The permittee will maintain the authorized work 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 having it transfered to a
third party.
i. 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 50 NTU's or less are not
considered significant.
J. Approval of the structure was based on determination that
there would be no obstruction to navigation. Under conditions
existing in the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW), a
possibility exists that the structure may be damaged by wave wash
from passing vessels. Unreasonable slowing down of vessel traffic
cannot be required because it would tend to nullify the
navigational benefits on which the AIWW was justified. Issuance
of this permit should not be construed as relieving the permittee
of taking proper steps to insure the structure and moored boats
will not be damaged by wave wash normally to be expected in the
AIWW.

SUBJECT: Application for CAMA Permit
Waterway Associates -'Shearwater Resort
Carteret 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 and has been issued
Certification No. 2229.
b) "Built upon" surface areas as defined in 15 NCAC
2H .1000 must remain consistent with the plans and
specifications submitted as a part of the
stormwater management plan dated March 22, 1988.
c) A 30-foot buffer areas must exist between all
built upon surfaces and the mean high water
contour (excluding boat ramps and boat launching
travel pads).
d) Signs should be posted at several conspicuous
locations in the marina basin and entrance channel
prohibiting the discharge of sewage from vessels.
e) The marine pumpout facility must be effectively
operated and maintained at all times.
f) Based upon the application information it is
anticipated that this Division will be the
permitting agency for sewage disposal. Since
there are several wastewater treatment and
disposal facilities already permitted in the area
of the proposed plant, it is probable that a
permit can be issued for the proposed facility.
However, as of this date, no plans,
specifications, or permit applications have been
received for wastewater disposal on this project.

TO: Bill Mills Q??
FROM: Michael F. William `C?GL OtP?'Ri,7 011"?S {1 It7,
THROUGH: A. Preston Howar Jr.
SUBJECT: Regional Office Recommendations
Waterway Associates Inc. - Shearwater Resort
Carteret County
The Wilmington Regional office has reviewed the recently revised
proposed project consisting of a 3.37 acre future commercial site,
a 3.63 acre wastewater treatment and disposal area, 120 condominium
units within 6 buildings, pool and club house, a 145 boat dry stack
building, a 65 slip marina consisting of fuel dispensers, pump out
station and boat ramp, and boardwalk and cabana. The proposed
project is located along Hwy 24 at Cedar Point, adjacent to Bogue
Sound, classified SA, and partially closed to shellfishing (due to
an adjacent marina). The upland development originally consisted
of 11 condominium buildings totaling 225 units. The revised plans
dated 22 March, 1988 were submitted in order to meet the built upon
density requirements of 25% for stormwater management.
The plan was reviewed and appears to meet the Stormwater Regulation
15 NCAC 2H.1000 by limiting built upon surface area to 250,
maintaining a 30' buffer area from MHW (except the boat ramp), and
having no stormwater collection system.
The project will require 401 certification for the proposed filling
of an existing 10 foot wide, 380 foot long ditch. The ditch, after
being filled will be planted in cordgrass to blend with the
existing vegetation.
The marina development consists of 65 wet slips and 145 boat dry
stack storage slips. The basin will primarily be excavated from
high ground with spoil disposal on the site. The applicant
proposes to provide fuel and pump out facilities at the marina.
The draft marina policy specifies that a closure area of as much as
325 feet from the mouth of the basin may be imposed by the
shellfish sanitation branch (according to Mr. George Gilbert).
Discussion with Mr. Dave Taylor of the Division of Marine Fisheries
indicates that a shellfish resource does not exist within 325 feet
of the basin entrance canal, and therefore any closure of
shellfishing areas 325 feet outside the basin will not violate the
antidegredation policy.

The owner has indicated that the development will be served by a
non-discharge type wastewater treatment plant and sub-surface
disposal. An application for utility status has been filed with
the utility commission. It is anticipated that this department
will be the permit agency; and since there are several wastewater
treatment and disposal facilities already permitted in the area of
the proposed plant, it is probable that a permit can be issued for
the proposed facility. However, as of this date, no plans,
specifications or application has been received relative to
wastewater treatment and disposal.
It is recommended that a 401 certification be issued to the
applicant containing the following conditions:
1. That turbidity levels in the receiving stream shall not exceed
25 NTU as a result of the project activity.
2. That fill material shall be of clean material, free of toxic
compounds.
3. Silt screens or other sedimentation prevention devices shall
be used to reduce turbidity.
It is recommended that the following comments be forwarded to the
Division of Coastal Management:
1.) That "built upon" surface areas as defined in 15 MCAC 2H.1000
remain consistent with the plans and specifications submitted
as a part of the stormwater management plan dated March 22,
1988.
2.) A 30 foot buffer area must exist between all built upon
surfaces and the mean high water contour (excluding boat ramps
and boat launching travel pads).
3.) Signs shall be posted at several conspicuous locations in the
marina basin and entrance channel prohibiting the discharge of
sewage from vessels.
4.) The marina pump out facility shall be effectively operated and
maintained at all times.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please advise.

REVISED WORKPLAT DRAWING
DATE: MARCH 29, 1988
As you can see, we have very recently received revised project
plans from the developers of Shearwater. Mr. Cacavias explains
in his cover letter that the revisions have been made to comply
with DEM's stormwater requirements for impervious surface areas.
Because the reduction in the.development is so clearly indicated
on the revised drawings, that is to eliminate five of the eleven
condominium buildings, I am not planning to do a revised field
report unless you advise otherwise. I suggest, therefore, that
you simply distribute the revised workplats and ask for comments.
in an appropriate time frame. In order to save a little time,
Diana has gone ahead and-sent copies to those agencies that we
normally contact.

Enclosed is the application of Waterway Associates, Inc., for
a Department of the Army permit and a State Water Quality
Certification to place fill material in Bogue Sound in conjunction
with the construction of marina facilities for Shearwater Resort
Community in Swansboro, 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 March 28, 1988, the District Engineer
will deem that waiver has occurred.

8. PROJECT SUMMARY: Waterway Associates, Inc., proposes to
redevelop Tommy's Campground, a 28 acre tract of land, by
constructing a drystack storage marina with 145 slips and a
boat basin with 65 wetslips; 11 condo buildings, 225 units, a
clubhouse, 2 pools, 2 tennis courts and commercial site
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The project site has been know for
the past several years as Tommy's Campground, located on the
south side of Highway 24, in the Cedar Point community, just
off the Intracoastal Waterway, on Bogue Sound, in Carteret
County. This 28 acre tract of land joins the east side
lines of the Cedar Point Villas Condominium/Marinacomplex
(see CAMA Permit #122-86), and the western sideline of the
Comer's Cove Mobile Home Park. The site measures
approximately 2,250' long by an average of 550' wide.
Three-quarters of the highground property is above the 15'
contour elevation as it slopes from the highway towards the
sound. The shoreline is well stabilized by an existing
bulkhead and a wide pocket marsh dominated by saltmarsh
cordgrass. Other distinguishing features of this site are
the 50 or so individual camp sites around the semicircular
driveway and the extensive open farm fields separating the
highway and the recreational area. Both the referenced
aerial photograph and the topographic map show clearly the
physical surroundings of the project site.
The international engineering and consulting firm of Hussey,
Gay, Bell &'Deyong has submitted a permit request on behalf
of the applicant listed as Waterway Associates, Inc.. The
landowner, Mr. Paul-V. Berry from Wilson, North Carolina, is
proposing to develop a marina/condominium project to be
known as "Shearwater Resort Community". Basically, the
application proposal involves constructing 11 condominium
buildings which will house 225 units. The developers have
allocated the land for the following construction activity
and uses:
1. 11 condominium buildings which will house 225
marketable units on approximately 20 acres;
2. A centralized clubhouse;
3. 2 swimming pools;
4. 2 tennis courts;
5. (2) 40,000 GPD package treatment plants and an LPP
affluent disposal system on approximately 3 acres;
r
FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT - WATERWAY ASSOCIATES, INC./
SHEARWATER RESORT COMMUNITY
PAGE #3
6. A future commercial site near Highway 24 on
approximately 3 acres;
7. A 20,000 sq. ft. drystack storage building housing
approximately 145 slips on 1 acre of land;
8. A marina basin with dock, pier and mooring piles to
accommodate 65 wet slips consuming some 2 acres of
highground property;
9. Excavation of the access channel and marina basin will
displace about 2 acres of highground property with a
projected water depth of -4' on mean low water;
10. Construction of approximately 1150 linear feet of
wooden bulkhead will be installed to stabilize the
interior basin shoreline; and,
11. Other construction items include; a boat hoist,
boat ramp, asphalt streets and parking lots, boardwalks.
and a cabana.
The proposed project does not involve the excavation or
filling of any coastal wetlands vegetation or submerged
aquatic grass beds. Access to deep water is already
provided by the 30' to 80' wide entrance channel excavated
by Cedar Point Villas. That channel passes immediately in
front of the Shearwater property on its way to the
Intracoastal Waterway about 300' to the south. (See
Workplat Sheet 6a of 12.) In addition, it has been.
determined that the "SA" waters adjoining the project site
are closed to the harvesting of shellfish. Field sampling
within the 100' closure zone and the near vicinity revealed
no live oysters or clams. The detailed application package
includes what appears to be a comprehensive archeological
survey of the site, as well as a master plan for the
stormwater drainage. In the rear of the application package
is found Exhibit 4b illustrating on Sheet 3 of 3 the paving,
grading and drainage plans for the project site. It is here
that the applicant proposes to fill in a ditch measuring
approximately 380' long x 10' wide. It is expected that
this deep non-tidal ditch located between the marsh and the
highground property was originally excavated to obtain fill
material. Today, the ditch is very stagnant and most
certainly produces large quantities of mosquitos. Once the
ditch has been filled, the new substrate will be sprigged
with saltmarsh cordgrass to enhance the overall wetlands
value.

10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: Excavation of the highground basin
will generate some 29,760 cubic yards of earthen-material.
Excavation of the 2 acre basin and access channel will not
involve the displacement of any coastal wetlands or
submerged aquatic beds. The shape, size and depth (-4'
normal water level) of the basin suggest that flushing and
water circulation will not be a problem. The project site
is located very close to Bogue Inlet and the tidal amplitude
is approximately 2.75' between mean high and mean low water.
However, the total number of wet slips at 65, may cause an
increase in the shellfish closure zone around the
entranceway to the marina.
The applicant has calculated the amount of impervious
surfaces within the LAMA 75' Estuarine Shoreline AEC to be
equal to 19.810. The new AEC shoreline will be 778' long
and will generate a total AEC area of 58,350 sq. ft., or
1.33 acres. Asphalt parking lots, driveways and boat ramps
account for most all of the reported impervious areas. A
15' to 60' wide vegetated buffer zone has been designed
along and around most of the new development, except that
area closest to the drystack storage facility. It is
anticipated that the Stormwater Management Plan will be
effective in controlling runoff from entering the waters of
Bogue Sound and the adjacent marshlands.
CAMA REVIEW: The Land Use Plan for Carteret County, updated
in 1986, was consulted in the review of this project. The
highground property involved with this development has been
given a classification class of "transition", along with two
sub-classifications of "commercial" and "residential". The
primary classification of transition allows for high-density
development with the use of a community water and sewer

development constraints have been identified, and therefore,
the project appears to be consistent with the goals and
objectives of that document.
