Page two Sanders - River Island (Major Modification) State Permit #144-90 9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project area consists of a 25.73 acre tract of land located approximately 6 miles south of Wilmington, off Secondary Road 1100 (River Road), adjacent to the Cape Fear River in New Hanover County. The majority of the tract is wetlands within the floodplain of the Cape Fear River. There is, however, a 5.85 acre island of highground on the property between Secondary Road 1100 and the river. The island reaches elevations of 17 feet mean sea level, and supports a variety of climax forest vegetation including live oak, loblolly pine, and holly. The island is bordered by the Cape Fear River to the east, coastal wetlands to the north and south, and wooded, cypress/gum/maple swamp to the west. A State CAMA Major Development Permit (144-90) was issued to the applicant on November 9, 1990. This permit authorizes the development of a ten (10) lot subdivision, accessed from S.R. 1100 by an elevated wooden bridge (262' x 14.51) through wooded-swamp wetlands, and a 20 slip marina, including pier, gazebo, and docking facilities in the Cape Fear River. Since the initial permit application, the property owner has timbered the wooded swamp and the area between S.R. 100 and the land for the subdivision was clear-cut. The applicant is requesting to modify his original permit to add the excavation of a pond. The size of the pond would average 200 feet by 130 feet, and a depth of 6 feet has been requested. The majority of the pond would be located north of the bridge alignment, however the proposed perimeter of the pond does extend south of the bridge in two areas with the dimensions; westside - average 40 feet by 30 feet, and eastside - average 40 feet by 70 feet. This southern excavation alignment would follow the vegetation transition line from swamp to irregularly flooded coastal wetlands consisting primarily of Scirpus p2. The applicant proposes to complete the excavation using a trachoe mechanical excavator using mats for equipment mobility. The spoil material would be placed directly into dump trucks, also using mats to maneuver in and out of the excavation area. The spoil material would be trucked to a highground site owned by the applicant, located approximately two (2) miles inland from the proposed pond site. In the absence of cross-sectional data of the pond, the applicant's consultant, Charlie Hollis states that the pond would be constructed with a minimum 3 to 1 sideslope. AW" Nathan S. Sanders - River Island (Major Modification) Page three State Permit 1144-90 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS The proposed project would convert approximately .6 acre of clear-cut swamp wetlands to a shallow freshwater pond. Water exchange and flow would be minimal, as the only water source would be the shallow groundwater table and the overland flow hydrology of the adjacent swamp/drainage way to the north of the project. During seasonal dry cycles, adjacent wetlands would be dry and stagnate water conditions would be expected in the pond. These conditions would produce ideal mosquito breeding habitat.

Sanders for Department of the Army authorization and a State Water Quality certification to place Y excavated/fill material in wetlands adjacent to the Cape Fear River associated with construction of a pond on River Road, near Wilmington, New Hanover 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 November 18, 1991, the District Engineer will deem that waiver has occurred.

A copy of the application for a modification of CAMA permit No. 144-90 was provided to the Corps on September 6, 1991 with the understanding that this information would be helpful for the Corps' determination as to whether a Federal permit would be required. It was explained in the application that no excavated material would be stock-piled or otherwise placed onto any wetlands in the area and that all excavated material will be loaded into trucks and hauled to a high ground disposal site. You confirmed in our conversation that if indeed this work was done with care so as..to avoid the discharge of excavated. mater al.into the . wetlands, no Federal permit would be required. Since these are exactly the conditions under which Mr. Sanders proposes this work, we will consider this question resolved. By copy of this letter, I am sharing this information with those addressees who were furnished your two "card letters" both dated September 17, 1991.
