REFERENCE: DEM ID 92-706, Nationwide Permit Application for an activity located in
Brunswick County, NC: Fill Wetlands for Residential Subdivision.
Dear Mr. Frink:
The NC Division of Coastal Management has reviewed the above referenced application for a
Nationwide Permit dated 12/01/92 pursuant to Section 307 of the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972
as amended. Based upon our review, we have determined that the proposed activity is consistent with
the North Carolina Coastal Management Program provided the following conditions are met.
1. The activity described in the above application qualifies to receive one of the Nationwide Permits
described in 33 CFR Part 330 with the exception of numbers 17, 21, 24, and 34 which were found
inconsistent with the North Carolina Coastal Management Program.
2. A 401 Water Quality Certification is received, where required, from the NC Division of
Environmental Management.
This letter does not relieve you of the responsibility to insure that all other State authorization
and/or permit requirements are met prior to implementation of the project. Please feel free to contact Mr.
Steve Benton at [phone] if you have any questions or need further assistance.

Roger . hec er

- maintained in accordance with the plans and specifications
approved by the Wilmington Regional Office. This Certification
does not.supersede any other permit or approval. The developer
is responsible for obtaining any and all permits and approval
necessary for the development of this project.. This could

Dear Mr. Frink:
Reference is made to the survey plat dated October 16, 1992, on your
property located in Sea Trail Golf Course, off Highway 179, Sunset Beach,
Brunswick County, North Carolina. The survey plat accurately reflects the
limits of wetlands on the property. Unless there is a change in the law or
our published regulations, this determination of the limits of wetlands may be
relied upon for a period not to exceed three years from the date of your
survey plat.
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, prior Department of the
Army approval is required for the discharge of dredged or fill material in
waters of the United states, including wetlands.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Rudy Schiener, Regulatory
Branch, Wilmington District, at telephone [phone].

Mr. John D. Frink
3 Frink Street
Ocean Isle Beach,
Dear Mr. Frink:
North Carolina 28469
a?^.q

Reference your application of 12-1-92, for Department of the Army
authorization to fill 2.88 acres of wetlands above headwaters on your property
located in Sea Trail Golf Course, off Highway 179, Sunset Beach, Brunswick
County, North Carolina.
For the purposes of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program,
Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the
Federal Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits (NWP).
Authorization was provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act,
for discharges of dredged or fill material greater than 1 but not more than 10
acres into headwaters and isolated waters of the United States. Your work is
authorized by this NWP provided it is accomplished in strict accordance with
the enclosed conditions.
This verification will be valid for 2 years from the date of this letter
unless the NWP authorization is modified, reissued, or revoked. Also, this
verification will remain valid for the 2 years if, during that period, the NWP
authorization is reissued without modification or the activity complies with
any subsequent modification of the NWP authorization. If during the 2 years,
the NWP authorization expires or is suspended or revoked, or is modified, such
that the activity would no longer comply with the terms and conditions of the
NWP, activities which have commenced (i.e., are under construction) or are
under contract to commence in reliance upon the NWP will remain authorized
provided the activity is completed within 12 months of the date of the NWP's
expiration, modification or revocation, unless discretionary authority has
been exercised on a case-by-case basis to modify, suspend, or revoke the
authorization.
This permit is valid upon obtaining all necessary state or local
authorizations. In this connection you should contact Mr. John Dorney, North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, telephone [phone], and
Mr. Steve Benton, North Carolina Division of Coastal Management, telephone
(919),: 733-2293.

Water Quality Planning RECEIVED
Division of Environmental Management -1 Inland Fisheries
FROM: Richard B. Hamilton WRC
Assistant Director
DATE: February 7, 1993
SUBJECT: Division of Environmental Management 401 Water Quality
Certification Review for Mr. John D. Frink, Pond and
Access Road Construction, Ocean Isle Beach, Brunswick
County, North Carolina.
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC)
staff has completed a review of the proposed project and
evaluated possible impacts on fisheries, wildlife, and wetland
resources in the project area. A site inspection was conducted
on January 22, 1993. Our comments are provided in accordance
with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48
Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.), Section 401-b of
the Clean Water Act of 1977 (as amended), and North Carolina
General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.).
Mr. John D. Frink is requesting permit authorization to
construct a 1.66 acre pond and an access road in 404 wetlands
adjacent to an unnamed tributary to Calabash Creek in Brunswick
County near Ocean Isle Beach. The road will provide access to an
area which will be developed into 47 residential lots. The
purpose of the project is to construct a housing subdivision
which will be known as "Frink Patio Homes". Pond construction is
solely for aesthetic reasons.
The project area consists of a 6-8 ft ditch in wooded
'wetlands and is considered a 11404" jurisdictional area by the
-U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. These wetlands provide numerous
'functions which benefit the public as well as fish and wildlife.
These functions include retention and purification of storm water
runoff and providing valuable habitat for numerous species of
0
MEMO TO: John Dorney Page 2
February 7, 1993
fish and wildlife. These wetlands play a major role in the
overall biological productivity of adjacent waters.
We have determined the proposed project is inconsistent with
our Policies and Guidelines for Conservation of Wetlands and
Aquatic Habitat and based on the loss of approximately 3 acres of
404 wetlands, recommend that water quality certification for the
proposed project be denied. In addition, we believe that this
project is inconsistent with the Environmental Protection
Agency's Section 404(b)(1) guidelines in that the proposed
project does not constitute a water dependent activity. Also,
during our site visit, our biologist observed that an access road
had already been bulldozed through the area and fill material
placed in the vicinity of the ditch crossing. We therefore
recommend that all fill material be removed and that the affected
wetlands be fully restored. Finally, if certification is not
withheld, then we recommend that all spoil material be deposited
outside wetlands.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this
401 Water Quality Certification application. If we can provide
further assistance, please contact NCWRC Habitat Conservation
Program Manager Dennis L. Stewart at 919-528-9886 or 919-733-
3633.
