Environmental Management Regulations in 15 NCAC 2H, Section .0500
to J. M. Callahan pursuant to an application filed on the 20th
day of October, 1989 to construct a bulkhead along Chowan River.
The Application provides adequate assurance that the
discharge of fill material into a wetlands area adjacent to the

violate Sections 301, 302, 303, 306, 307 of PL 92-500 and PL
95-217 if conducted in accordance with the application and
conditions hereinafter set forth.
Condition(s) of Certification:
1. That the activity be conducted in such a manner as
to prevent significant increase in turbidity
outside the area of construction or construction
related discharge (increases such that the
turbidity in the Stream is 50 NTU`s or less are not
considered significant).
2. That the material to be filled behind the bulkhead
be clean material from an upland source and free of
any toxic pollutants.
Violations of any condition herein set forth shall result in
revocation of this Certification.
This Certification shall become null and void unless the
above conditions are made conditions of the Federal Permit.
This the 5th day of December, 1989.

Site Report
The applicant owns a .69 acre lot (100' x 3001) on Merrimac
Road, Chowan County, on the Chowan River. The lot lies
approximately twelve feet above the mean high water level. The
soil in the area is sandy throughout its profile. Vegetation on
the lot consists of lawn grasses and ornamental trees, a few
Pinus taeda (Loblolly Pines) dot the property. Emerging from the
toe of the embankment is a Morus rubra (Red Mulberry).
Overhanging the northern bank are Vitis aestivalis (Wild Grapes).
The adjoining lot on the southern side extends approximately
twelve feet waterward of the applicant's lot and is bulkheaded.
The adjoining lot to the north is not bulkheaded and lies roughly
on the same contour as the applicant's lot.
The applicant proposes building a bulkhead, pier, "T"
platform and boathouse.
No submerged or emergent aquatic vegetation is present nor
are there any wetlands.
The applicant intends to build the bulkhead an average of 8
ft. waterward of the NWL and running the width of his lot (100
ft.) He intends on tieing into the bulkhead to his south, a
maximum distance of 12 feet waterward of the NWL. Backfill
material will be derived by pushing the existing embankment
waterward.
The proposed pier will be 60' x 6' and connect to a "T"
platform (20' x 12') and boat house (20' x 10'). The boat house
will be covered and have' open sides. All construction will be
made from approved materials.. Water depth at the terminal end of
the platform is 2.5 ft.
Anticipated Impacts
Approximately.800 sq. ft. of shallow water habitat will be
lost due to construction of the bulkhead. Construction will
cause short-term, localized turbidity.
CAMA Review
The project is consistent with the community classification
of the Chowan County LUP.
No archeological significance has been attached to this site.
