MEMORANDUM
TO: Bill Mills, Environmental Engineer
Water Quality Section
THROUGH: Roger K. Thorpe, Water Quality Regional Supervisor
Washington Regional Office
FROM: Deborah Sawyer, Environmental Technician 0;)?aj'
Water Quality Section, WaRO
SUBJECT: DF/CAMA/401 Review
Public Notice - 404
USMC - Cherry Point
Craven County
The above subject project has been reviewed and investigated by this
office. The proposal to fill 0.28 acre of tidal wetlands for the
purpose of roadway fill is water dependent and unavoidable. The
wetland is a high value tidal marsh. The USMC has offered a 1:1
mitigation for the project. This is not an acceptable mitigation with
this office. It is recommended that the 401 Certification be issued
with the condition that the mitigation be a 3:1 ratio. The USMC has
no ecological reasons for not creating wetlands at a 3:1 ratio; their
reasons are economical.

PUBLIC NOTICE
THE COMMANDING GENERAL, U.S. MARINE CORPS, MARINE CORPS AIR STATION,
CHERRY POINT, North Carolina 28533-5000, has applied for a Department of the
Army permit TO PLACE FILL MATERIAL IN THE WETLANDS OF JACK'S BRANCH ASSOCIATED
WITH RELOCATION OF A ROADWAY, CHERRY POINT, Craven 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 5500 cubic yards of
fill material (sand) in about 12,000 square feet (0.28 acre) of tidal wetlands
associated with the relocation of a gravel road. Culverts are to be installed
to maintain creek flow. Appropriate sedimentation and erosion control
measures are to be employed. The applicant proposes to mitigate the loss of
the 0.28 acres of wetlands by the creation of new wetlands adjacent the
project site. Relocation of the road is necessary to meet runway clearance
standards and minimize washouts. 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.
I
.I- V
-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 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, based on available information, is not aware that
the proposed activity will 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
environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife-values,

-3-
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
August 11, 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 August 7, 1989, Attention:
Mr. William Mills.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will
be received in this office, Attention: Mr. Hugh Heine, until 4:15 p.m.,
August 21, 1989, or telephone [phone].

Enclosed is the application of the Commanding General, U.S. Marine Corps,
Marine Corps Air Station, Cherry Point, for Department of the Army
authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to place fill material
in the wetlands of Jack's Creek associated with relocation of a roadway,
Cherry Point, Craven County, North Carolina. 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 September 13, 1989, the
District Engineer will deem that waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Hugh Heine, telephone (919)
251-4725.
Sincerely,
CW. H lis

Dear Colonel Woodbury:
Q

The Marine Corps Air Station, Cherry Point is planning the repair,
improvement, and rerouting of an existing gravel access road. A letter
dated 11 April 1989 from your Regulatory Branch indicated that a formal
permit application is required for the improvement of the road where it
crosses Jacks Branch, a tributary to Hancock Creek. A completed permit
application form DCM-MP-1 is enclosed. You may have received a draft,
unsigned copy of this form from Margeret Gray of McKim & Creed, the firm
designing the project. Please note that some changes have been made in
the final form.
The loss of 0.28 acres of tidal wetlands associated with the project
will be mitigated by the creation of a new wetland adjacent to the
project site. The new area is marked on the project drawings that are
enclosed.
If you have any questions, please call Mr. Bill Rogers, of the Natural
Resources and Environmental Affairs Department at (919)
466-3242. Please refer to project # CP7089M in any correspondence.

DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY
Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers
Post Office Box 1890
Wilmington, North Carolina 28402-1890
CESAW-CO89-N-025-0389 July 20, 1989
PUBLIC NOTICE
THE COMMANDING GENERAL, U.S. MARINE CORPS, MARINE CORPS AIR STATION,
CHERRY POINT, North Carolina 28533-5000, has applied for a Department of the
Army permit TO PLACE FILL MATERIAL IN THE WETLANDS OF JACK'S BRANCH ASSOCIATED
WITH RELOCATION OF A ROADWAY, CHERRY POINT, Craven 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 5500 cubic yards of
fill material (sand) in about 12,000 square feet (0.28 acre) of tidal wetlands
associated with the relocation of a gravel road. Culverts are to be installed
to maintain creek flow. Appropriate sedimentation and erosion control
measures are to be employed. The applicant proposes to mitigate the loss of
the 0.28 acres of wetlands by the creation of new wetlands adjacent the
project site. Relocation of the road is necessary to meet runway clearance
standards and minimize washouts. 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), 146-61, 146-11,
and 146-12 by the North Carolina Department of Administration and the North
Carolina Council of State.

-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 u L_y . 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, based on available information, is not aware that
the proposed activity will 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
environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values,

-3-
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
August 11, 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 August 7, 1989, Attention:
Mr. William Mills.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will
be received in this office, Attention: Mr. Hugh Heine, until 4:15 p.m.,
August 21, 1989, or telephone [phone].
