CESAW-0089-N-028-0295 April 20, 1989 PUBLIC NOTICE SPRUILL OIL COMPANY, ANDMUR GAS, Route 4, Box 101G, Windsor, North Carolina 27983, represented by BISSELL ASSOCIATES, Post Office Drawer 1068, Kitty Hawk, North Carolina 27949, has applied for a Department of the Army permit TO PLACE FILL MATERIAL IN TIDAL WETLANDS OF BROAD CREEK TO CONSTRUCT AN ACCESS ROAD OFF NORTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 345, WANCHESE, Dare County, North Carolina. 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 the proposed placement of approximately 270 cubic yards of fill material (sand), obtained from a highground source, in an area of wetlands 25 feet wide and 125 feet long (3,125 square feet - 0.07 acre). The roadway surface is to be gravel and the slopes are to be grassed. The purpose of the work is to provide access for large trucks to proposed commerical loading dock facilities. 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. 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. Ot -2- 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 requested Department of the Army permit 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 10 of the River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within the comment period specified in this 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 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 d^ W w f r• y -3- 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 May 12, 1989. 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 May 8, 1989, Attention: Mr. William Mills. Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received in this office, Attention: Ms. Alison Arnold, until 4:15 p.m., May 22, 1989, or telephone (919) 251-4634.

Hollis Chief, Regulatory Branch, Wilmington District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers P.O. Box 1890 Wilmington, NC 28402-1890 £ZZ? Dear Mr. Hollis: The State of North Carolina has not completed its review of Corps Public Notice number CESAW-C089-N-028-0295 which describes a proposal by the Spruill Oil Company, Andur Gas to fill tidal wetlands of Broad Creek to construct an access road off NC 345, Wanchese, Dare County, North Carolina. We received the public notice on 4/24/89. Comments received to date include the following findings: 1. The proposed fill area is vegetated with loblolly pine with a dense understory of sweet bay, sweetgum, wax myrtle, switch cane and greenbrier. The site is not an Area of Environmental Concern and no CAMA permits will be required. 2. The site is classified as Conservation in the Dare County Land Use Plan. "Development or alteration of land, including the construction of single family residences on suitable land, is appropriate within conservation areas where it can be shown that the proposed development will not destroy or irretrievably alter (a) wetlands...". Since the proposal involves permanent loss of wetlands, it is inconsistent with the Dare County Land Use Plan. However, the proposal may be eligible for mitigation pursuant to 15 NCAC 7M .0700. 3. The North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries has determined that although this project will impact only a small wetland area, all wetlands contribute to fisheries and wildlife productivity. Since the proposal is not water dependent, they object to the proposal and suggest that the wetlands be bridged. 4. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources commission expressed concern with the potential impacts of an accidental P.O. Box 27687, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687 Telephone 919-733-2293 An Foual Oooortunity Affirmative Action Employer leak or spill on the adjacent wetlands and water quality. They also determined that the proposed activity is inconsistent with Commission policies to "preserve and protect wetland..." and to oppose any proposal which "individually or cumulatively results in degradation of the productivity of existing fish and wildlife ecosystems". 5. We have not received a response from the NC Division of Environmental Management concerning a 401 Water Quality Certification. It is our understanding that the applicant has been requested to modify his plans in response to objections from federal review agencies. Since the proposal may be modified and since the 401 Water Quality Certification status is not known, we feel that the State's response should be delayed. We request a copy of any modifications to the proposal so we can provide them to the NC Division of Marine Fisheries and Wildlife Resources Commission for comment. Similarly, we request that our Elizabeth City Field staff be advised of any mitigation proposal to insure compliance with the state mitigation guidelines. Pursuant to 15 CFR 930.63 (b), we are sending a copy of this letter to the applicants to inform them of the status of our review and basis for our delay. Thank you for your consideration of the North Carolina Coastal Management Program. Sin!Gerely, Stephen B.
