BOX 1890 WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA 28402-1890 November 16, 1990 SUBJECT: File No. CESAW-C091-N-015-0074 Mr. William Mills Division of Environmental Management North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources Post Office Box 27687 Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687 Dear Mr. Mills: S : J andiil y 3< 1991 Enclosed is the application of Mr. John L. Gregson, III, and Ms. Mary M. Gregson, for after-the-fact Department of the Army authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to place fill material in wetlands adjacent to the Pasquotank River, Whitehall Shores; Camden County, North Cafolina. 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 16, 1991, the District Engineer will deem that waiver has occurred. Questions or comments may be addressed to Ms. Laura Manuele, telephone (919) 975-3609.

JOHN GREGSON, III, 212 Pinewood Drive, Camden, North Carolina 27921, has applied for a Department of the Army (DA) after-the-fact permit TO AUTHORIZE THE PLACEMENT OF FILL MATERIAL IN WETLANDS ADJACENT TO THE PASQUOTANK RIVER IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE, SEPTIC DRAIN FIELD, AND ACCESS DRIVEWAYS, LOT NUMBER 34, AT THE CORNER OF RIDGE AND VALLEY ROAD, WHITEHALL SHORES SUBDIVISION, Camden County, North Carolina. This public notice does not imply, on the parts of the Corps of Engineers or other agencies, either favorable or unfavorable opinion of the work performed; but it is issued to solicit comments on the factors listed above on which a final decision will be based. Legal action has been suspended pending the outcome of this consideration. The reference file number for this enforcement action is 199100005. The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant and from observations made during onsite visits by representatives of the Corps of Engineers. The applicant is responsible for filling and grading a single lot within the subdivision impacting approximately 18,500 square feet (0.42 acre) of wetlands. The applicant proposes to fill essentially the entire lot to accommodate a 2,000 square foot single family residence, including septic drain field, and access driveways. This lot was filled during initial development of the subdivision in the early 19701s; however, the property was not sufficiently raised to convert the site to highground and remove it from regulatory jurisdiction. At present, the site is cleared and graded. The remaining vegetation is sparse and consists of red maple, sweetgum, loblolly pine, netted chainfern, and sweet bay. Plans showing the work are included with this public notice. The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No DA permit will be issued until the coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal has'been received and reviewed by-this agency, nor will a DA permit be issued until the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (DEM) has determined the applicability of a Water Quality Certificate as required by PL 92-500. The requested DA permit will be denied if any required State or local authorization and/or certification is denied. 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. -2- This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404(b) of t 'e Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing wi hin the comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing be hel to consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, wit particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing. The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of he National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of regi t: red properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein and this work site is not registered property or property listed as being el gible for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the Distri t Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources. Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historic 1 data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit. The District Engineer has determined, based on a review of data furn shed by the applicant and onsite observations, that the activity will not aff ct species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threaten d pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluatio of the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed acti ity 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 co cern for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumula ive effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, eneral environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife va ues, flood hazards, flood plain values, land use, navigation, shore erosion nd 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 unles the District Engineer determines that it would be contrary to the public interest. The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State, and local agencies and officials; Indian Tribes, and other interested parties-in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed -3- activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers to determine whether to issue, modify, condition, or deny a permit for this proposal. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental effects, and the other public interest factors listed above. Comments Are used in preparation of an Environmental Assessment and/or Environmental Impact Statement pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act. Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and to determine the overall public interest of the proposed activity. Generally, the decision whether to issue this DA permit will not be made until the 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 DA 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 December 29, 1990. 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 December 24, 1990, Attention: Mr. William Mills. ,i? Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received in this office, Attention: Ms. Laura Manuele, until 4:15 p.m., January 7, 1991, or telephone (919) 975-3609. ? -' ? i ; ! .

Health Director `.. f This letter is regarding the proposed septic system for lot 34 Valley Road in Whitehall Shores, Camden County, North Carolina. Mr. John Gregson III has applied for the septic system. The following facts apply: 1) I have worked with Mr. Gregson to reduce the fil l area by 10% (now 56 ft. x 90 ft). 2) The outer 10 ft. of the fill area tapers down to the original soil. 3) The septic system is kept loft. wi thin the fill area. 4) The proposed system will be, to an extent, "mounded" as the septic system is kept very shallow within the filled area. 5) It is my opinion that the proposed system is the most feasible type to be used in this lot situation and will require a minimum area. Going off site is not possible. If there are questions or if I can be of help otherwise, please call me at the Camden County Health Department.

Box 1890 Wilmington, NC 28402-1890 Dear Colonel Suermann: Roger N. Schecter Director The State of North Carolina has not completed its review for consistency with the North Carolina Coastal Management Program pursuant to 15 CFR 930 of Corps Public Notice Action ID. 199100074, regarding an application by Mr. John Gregson, III, for an after-the-fact permit to authorize the placement of fill material in wetlands adjacent to the Pasquotank River on lot number 34 of the Whitehall Shores subdivision in Camden County, North Carolina. To date comments have been received from all State agencies involved in the review process with the exception of a determination by the NC Division of Environmental Management on a 401 Water Quality Certification. Since the 401 Certification is a required component of the federally-approved North Carolina Coastal Management Program, we are unable to make a final determination on the consistency of the project at this time. In the course of our review it has been determined that the project area lies within the 75 foot Estuarine Shoreline AEC. Therefore, a CAMA Major permit would be required for any fill material placed in wetlands within 75 feet of estuarine waters. We have also recieved objections to the project from the NC Wildlife Resources Commission and the Division of Parks and Recreation. Since a decision on 401 Certification has not been made, we are extending our,consistency review for an additional 90 days. During that time the applicant should consult the Division of Coastal Management office in Elizabeth City, NC, (919)264-3901, for an official determination on whether a CAMA permit is required. P.O.

In our letter of March 8, 1991, extending our review period, we informed you that a 401 Water Quality Certification had not yet been issued and that the project might require a CAMA permit. Since that time both of these concerns have been addressed. The 401 Certification was issued by the Division of Environmental Management on April 15, 1991. The applicant contacted the Division of Coastal Management Office in Elizabeth City and was informed by letter dated April 15, 1991, that a CAMA permit is not required for the present activity. Construction of a residence on the lot as planned will, however, require a CAMA permit. Since these issues have been resolved, we agree with the applicant's certification that the project in the current permit application is consistent with the North Carolina Coastal Management Program.
