WJM/cm r DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers Post Office Box 1890 Wilmington, North Carolina 28402-1890 SAWC088-N-028-0235 March 24, 1988 PUBLIC NOTICE MR. JACK D. WHITE, Route 1, Box 310, Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina 27948, has applied for a Department of the Army after-the-fact permit TO AUTHORIZE THE PLACEMENT OF FILL MATERIAL IN WETLANDS ADJACENT ALBEMARLE SOUND TO CONSTRUCT A ROADWAY TO HIGH GROUND TO FACILITATE CONSTRUCTION OF A SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING AND TO WATERS TO SUPPORT COMMERCIAL EEL FISHING ACTIVITIES, KITTY HAWK, Dare County, North Carolina. This public notice does not imply, on the part 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 which a 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 onsite visits by a representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the application show the completed placement of fill material, marl, obtained from a high ground source, in approximately 2,900 square feet of Spartina cynosuroides marsh, to construct a 12-foot-wide access road. Previously, the applicant availed himself of the authority provided by Nationwide Permit No. 14, for minor road crossings, to provide initial access to his property. This recently completed, new work extends his roadway and provides access to high ground for construction of a single family residence and access to the waters of Albemarle Sound for construction of an eel holding area. Plans showing the work are included with this public notice. The applicant has determined that the proposed work is consistent with the North Carolina Coastal Zone Management Plan and has submitted this determination to the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management for their review and concurrence. This proposal shall be reviewed for the applicability of other actions by North Carolina agencies such as: a. The issuance of a Water Quality Certification under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management. b. The issuance of a permit to dredge and/or fill under North Carolina General Statute 113-229 by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management. c. The issuance of a permit under the North Carolina Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management or their delegates. -2- d. The issuance of an easement to fill or otherwise occupy State-owned submerged land under North Carolina General Statute 143-341(4), 146-6, 146-11, and 146-12 by the North Carolina Department of Administration and the North Carolina Council of State. e. The approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan by the Land Quality Section, North Carolina Division of Land Resources, pursuant to the State Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (NC G.S. 113 A-50-66). The application for Department of the Army authorization will be denied if any required State or local authorization and/or certification is denied. No Department of the Army permit will be issued until a State coordinated viewpoint is received and reviewed by this. agency. Recipients of this notice are encouraged to furnish comments on factors of concern represented by the above agencies directly to the respective agency, with a copy furnished to the Corps of Engineers. 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. 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 4 11 W. , ... . -3- 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 utilization of important resources. 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, flood plain values, 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. Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined be received in this office, Attention: Ms. Alison Arnold, until April 25, 1988, or telephone (919) 343-4634. above, will 4:15 p.m., I ?
