PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant proposes to construct a 60'
long bulkhead and backfill 5220 square feet of 404 type wetlands.
ADJACENT WATER BODY: Bogue Sound
The project has been reviewed to determine impacts to water
quality. The following comments have been provided.
1. The project will require a 401 Water Quality Certification.
2. The project complies with the General 401 Water Quality
Certification No. 1272 for bulkhead construction.
3. The proposed project should be done in such a way as to not
cause the turbidity outside the immediate construction area
to exceed 25 NTU.
This office has no objection to the project as proposed.

9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The project site is located on Bogue
Sound, in the older residential section of Morehead City, at
1209 Shackleford Street. Mr. Lawrence Brown, the applicant,
proposes to bulkhead his 50' section of shoreline and the
10' wide (alley) section of shoreline to the west owned by
the Town of Morehead City.
The onsite inspection revealed that the proposed 60'
bulkhead alignment will be located at or above the MHW
level. On the far west side, the proposed wall will be
properly joined with the existing bulkhead owned by Mr.
Corbett. On the east side, the proposed bulkhead will join
Mr. Ballou's stabilized property. Once construction is
completed, the low area between Mr. Brown's house on
Shackleford Street and the new bulkhead will be backfilled
to a height equal to the elevation of the neighbor's
existing yards. The dimensions of the total area to be
filled measures 144' long x 60' wide. This will raise the
elevation of the 8,640 sq. ft. area to plus 3 and 4 feet
high. The Corps of Engineers has identified a portion of
the fill area closest to Mr. Brown's house as adjacent 1404'
wetlands. This wetland area is dominated by patens,
pennywort and salt bushes, and measures 87' long x 60' wide
with a footprint of 5,220 sq. ft. As proposed, the entire
fill area will be vegetated with domestic yard grass and
stabilized as soon as possible.
Mr. Brown has received approval from the Town of Morehead
City to construct the bulkhead and backfill the area. Part
of Mr. Brown's obligation will be to raise the manhole pipe
to its new elevation since an existing storm drain runs the
length of the alley from Shackleford Street to Bogue Sound.
It is also noted for the record that Mr. Brown was issued
both State and Federal permits for this same project in the
mid-19701s. At this time, the adjacent wetlands issued
precludes the General Permit authorization by the State, and
thus, keys up the Major CAMA Permit requirements.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The proposed project will directly
displace approximately 5,220 sq. ft. of 1404' wetlands
adjacent to Bogue Sound. This area does not communicate
with the estuarine system and its loss should not
significantly impact the local eco-system.

Subject: Proposed Wetland Fill
Project No. 8901-G
Lawrence Brown
Carteret County
Dear Mr. Brown:
The Wilmington Regional Office received your CAMA application
on January 9, 1989. A preliminary review indicates that a 401
Water Quality Certification will be required from our division due
to the proposed wetland fill. A 401 certification is required
prior to issuance of a CAMA or 404 permit.
Because of the many essential functions wetlands provide, including
purification of surface and groundwater, any loss of wetlands as
the result of filling activities is viewed by this office as
degradation of water quality, and potentially, a loss of these
essential functions wetlands provide.
Your project, as proposed, will result in the loss of wetland
areas. As a result, this office is requesting the following
additional information be submitted within 30 days upon receipt of
this letter: an alternate proposal that will eliminate or reduce
the proposed fill in wetland areas; or submit an explanation of why
such reductions are not possible and what mitigating factors we
should consider to insure no net loss of wetlands within the
project area.
