DeLucia Bissell Associates Post Office Drawer 1068 Kitty Hawk, North Carolina 27949 Subject: Application for Water Quality Certification The Wright Company Proposed K-Mart Facility Kill Devil Hills Dare County Dear Mr. DeLucia: This Division received your application for Water Quality Certification under Section 401 of the Federal Clean Water Act on November 8, 1988 acting as an agent for The Wright Company. The application requests approval of the placement of fill materials in a wetlands area adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean. The fill is for the purpose of creating a building site for a K-Mart Facility and associated parking areas. Issuance of a Water Quality Certification by this Division must be based upon a reasonable assurance that the proposed activity is not expected to result in violations of Water Quality Standards applicable to the surface waters which may be affected. A specific concern for impacts upon water quality standards on this project relates to the loss of valuable uses which wetlands serve. The proposed fill of wetlands associated with the proposed construction would eliminate the existing uses of these waters of the State. Such a loss of use'is inconsistent with the Antidegradation Statement of the Environmental Management Commission's Water Quality Standards. Because of these potential water quality standard violations, I have determined that your application for Water Quality Certification should be denied. Development of this property should be planned so as to avoid the loss of wetlands. If we may be of assistance P.O.

The following description of 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 65,500 cubic yards of fill material, sand obtained from a high ground source, in an approximate 440-foot-wide, 620-foot-long wetland area. These 272,800 square feet, or 6.27 acres, of wetlands are 47 percent of the total 13.3 acres to be developed. The elevation of the wetland area is to be raised approximately 4 feet. The purpose of the work is to provide a finished grade for the construction of a retail shopping center facility. 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, 146-1, -2- 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 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 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 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 -3- 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 Agency's 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 serve 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 December 2, 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 November 28, 1988, 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., December 12, 1988, or telephone (919) 343-4634 or 251-4634. 33 14 v LA C C v v V V 0 o 0 z w r q c V Slf?7' ?

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 authorizing 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 a reasonable time for State action. Therefore, if you have not acted on the request by January 7, 1989, the District Engineer will deem that waiver has occurred.

The following description of 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 65,500 cubic yards of fill material, sand obtained from a high ground source, in an approximate 440-foot-wide, 620-foot-long wetland area. These 272,800 square feet, or 6.27 acres, of wetlands are 47 percent of the total 13.3 acres to be developed. The elevation of the wetland area is to be raised approximately 4 feet. The purpose of the work is to provide a finished grade for the construction of a retail shopping center facility. 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, 146-1, t R s -2- 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 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 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 it$-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 K -3- 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 Agency's 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 serve 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 December 2, 1988.
