disposal system. Fifty-five borings were made with the
following indicated results:
1) The entire area along the Bay had a soil classification
of Wuitable.
2) One depressed area located in the field would require a ,
a fill system according to 1957(b)(1) Laws and Rules for
Sanitary Sewage Collection, Treatment and Disposal ISA
NCAC:I8A .1900.
3) An area within the pine thicket would require artificial
drainage along each property line at a starting depth of
48 inches on .1% downhill grade to an outlet.
(a) A registered surveyor or registered engineer sh.all,
gubmit a plan for the drain tile system to the health
Department for approval.
The installation of the drainage system must be
inspected and approved by the person submitting the
plan and a letter of approval of the installation in
Accordance with the plan provided to the health
department before final approval.

Dear Mr. Dorney:
SEP 10 Enclosed is the application of the Edenton Bay Company for Department of
the Army authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to construct
two piers and a raised walkway and construct and backfill a bulkhead on Queen
Ann's Creek, Edenton Bay, Albemarle Sound, south of Edenton, Chowan 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 is 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, 6.0 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 3, 1992, the
District Engineer will deem that waiver has occurred.

: . bulkhead an average of 19.1 ft. waterward of normal water level, 2
piers (100' x 6' and 200' x 61) each with a 500 sq ft platform 1

Site Description
The applicant, Environmental Professionals is the authorized
agent for Edenton Bay Company, owner of the 41.8 acre tract of land
slated for development. The tract was once part of the Hayes Farm,
" located within the extraterritorial district of Edenton on the
Albemarle Sound. The 41.8 acre tract lies south of the Hayes
Plantation (Gilliam-Woods farm) and has ingress and egress to
Edenton through the Gilliam Woods farm via a temporary road
easement over Queen Anne's Creek.
The tract rises above mean sea level between 3' and 121. The
terrain is nearly level, having a gentle slope toward two natural
flood flats. The predominate soil on the site is a fine sand,
identified as Wando. The two low, nearly level flood flats have a
very poorly drained dark silt loam soil classified as Chowan. One
of the flood flats is found on the north boundary of the
subdivision and connects to the sound. The second is located
adjacent to the sound on the south boundary of the property. The
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has delineated these areas as 11404"
wetlands. In addition, an area of approximately 4,000 sq. ft. (.09
acre) was delineated 11404" wetlands approximately 650 ft. east of
the second flood flat.
The dominant overstory on the upland, excessively of drained
soil, Wando, consists of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), white oak
(Quercus alba), and red maple (Acer rubrum). The understory is
made up of dogwood (Cornus Florida), sassafras (Sassafras albidum)
and American holly (Ilex o aca). A portion of the area has been
cleared for cultivation.
The vegetation on the flood flats is dominated by green ash
(Fraxinus pennsylvania), bald cypress (Taxodium distichum),
sweetgum (Liquidamber styracciflua), water tupelo (M ssa aquatica)
and red maple (Acer rubrum). The understory consists of greenbrier
(Similax sp.), giant cane (Arundinaria giaantea), poison ivy (Rhus
redicans) and sweet bay (Magnolia virginiana).
The Albemarle Sound lies adjacent to the project. These
waters are classified as SB by NC DEM and estuarine by NC DCM. The
shoreline has a very gentle slope with a firm bottom. No submerged
aquatic vegetation is present within the project area. Water
depths do not exceed 4 feet, within two hundred feet of the normal
water level. The longest fetch approaching this shoreline is
approximately 2.75 miles. The middle 8/10 of the tract's shoreline
shows evidence of active erosion. The nearly vertical bank is void
of vegetation. Conversely, approximately 480 feet of shoreline has
been overgrown with vegetation indicating a much reduced erosion

Edenton Bay Company
Bio Report

rate. The U.S. Soil Conservation Service estimates the average
annual erosion rate for the shoreline stretching from Horniblow
Point to Queen Anne's Creek to be 1.7 feet per year.
The applicant proposes developing a 24 lot subdivision. A
total of 37 residential units are proposed resulting in a density
of .88 units per acre. Lots 2 through 23 will have a single family
residence each with its own septic tank and drain field. Lot 1
will have 8 three bedroom, single family units. Sewage from these
units will be pumped to a septic drain field located on a
contiguous area classified by the developer as "Open Space".. Lot
24 will have 7 three bedroom cluster homes. Sewage will be handled
on the lot with a septic tank and drain field.
The City of Edenton has given Edenton Bay Company a
conditional rezoning permit (Conditional Use R40 Zoning) with an
expiration date tied to the point at which 80% of the subdivision's
lots are built upon. Until that time the developer will use the
existing lane on Gilliam Woods farm and trestle bridge crossing
Queen Anne's Creek. After the tract is 80% built upon the
developer must find an alternate route through the Gilliam Woods
farm to a state road.
Two piers are proposed. One will be 100' x 6' with a 500 sq.
ft. "T" platform. It will be built off of Lot 1. The second pier
will be 200' x 6' in size. It will also have a 500 sq. ft. "T"
platform and be build waterward of Lot 16. A raised walkway, 120'
x 6' in size will cross from the highground on Lot 16 to the second
pier. Parking for 7 cars will be available on Lot 16 for those
wishing to use the second pier. Deed restrictions will limit
future pier lengths to preset lengths. The developer has set, the
pier length limits so the piers cannot be seen from historic
downtown Edenton.
The applicant requests authorization to construct 2,400 feet
of bulkhead. He desires the completed bulkhead to be build
sufficiently waterward of the NWL to result in a slope of 1:4
without grading the existing embankment. Based on the changes in
bank height the proposed bulkhead alignment will vary from 0 to 30
ft. waterward of the NWL with the average distance being 19.1 ft.
The developer has decided on this alignment in order to protect the
trees atop the embankment. He considers the high embankment a
"unique geologic feature" which warrants the proposed bulkhead
alignment being placed an average of 19.1 ft. from the NWL.

Anticipated Impacts
The proposed project will result in the filling of 45,840 sq.
ft. (1.05 acres) of shallow water habitat which are Public Trust
Waters. No submerged aquatic vegetation is present to be impacted.
Approximately 720 sq. ft. (.017 acre) of 11404" wetlands will be
shaded by the proposed elevated walkway on Lot 16. No
jurisdictional wetlands will be filled under the proposed project.
Future development to construct a permanent road accessway to the
subdivision may result in wetland impacts.
Construction of the bulkhead and piers will result in a
localized, temporary increase in water turbidity.
The tract lies within the original historic Hayes Farm.
Development of this land by the applicant or subsequently by the
owners of individual lots may result in impacts to historic sites.
CAMA Review
The N.C. Division of Archives and History has identified two
historic sites on this site (C023, C024) and five others within the
vicinity (CO19, C020, 0021, 0025, C024). The applicant has
submitted a Preliminary Archeological Evaluation of the tract. The
evaluation team from Chesapeake Quaternary Inc. (CQI), identified
site 31CO23 as the location of "most immediate concern". In their
evaluation summary CQI concludes: "Similarly, a program of
systematic subsurface testing is warranted in the wooded areas of
the subdivision tract if an identification survey is required for
these areas".
No remanent species of plants or animals were identified on
the tract.
High, eroded banks (erosion escarpments) are found regularly
along the Chowan River and Currituck Sound. In many places the
escarpment will exceed 15 ft. height. An escarpment of 12 ft. is
not unusual.
Land Use Consistency comments will be mailed under a separate
cover.

PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to construct 2,400 ft of
bulkhead an average of 19 1 ft waterward of normal water level 2
piers (100' x 6' and 200' x 61) each with a 500 sg ft platform, 1

Site Description
The applicant, Environmental Professionals is the authorized
agent for Edenton Bay Company, owner of the 41.8 acre tract of land
slated for development. The tract was once part of the Hayes Farm,
located within the extraterritorial district of Edenton on the
Albemarle Sound. The 41.8 acre tract lies south of the Hayes
Plantation (Gilliam Woods farm) and has ingress and egress to
Edenton through the Gilliam Woods farm via a temporary road
easement over Queen Anne's Creek.
The tract rises above mean sea level between 3' and 121. The
terrain is nearly level, having a gentle slope toward two natural
flood flats. The predominate soil on the site is a fine sand,
identified as Wando. The two low, nearly level flood flats have a
very poorly drained dark silt loam soil classified as Chowan. One
of the flood flats is found on the north boundary of the
subdivision and connects to the sound. The second is located
adjacent to the sound on the south boundary of the property. The
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has delineated these areas as 11404"
wetlands. In addition, an area of approximately 4,000 sq. ft. (.09
acre) was delineated 11404" wetlands approximately 650 ft. east of
the second flood flat.
The dominant overstory on the upland, excessively of drained
soil, Wando, consists of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), white oak
(Quercus alba), and red maple (Acer rubrum). The understory is
made up of dogwood (Cornus Florida), sassafras (Sassafras albidum)
and American holly (Ilex o aca). A portion of the area has been
cleared for cultivation.
The vegetation on the flood flats is dominated by green ash
(Fraxinus pennsylvania), bald cypress (Taxodium distichum),
sweetgum (Liquidamber styracciflua), water tupelo (M ssa aquatica)
and red maple (Acer rubrum). The understory consists of greenbrier
(Similax sp.), giant cane (Arundinaria gigantea), poison ivy (Rhus
redicans) and sweet bay (Magnolia virginiana
The Albemarle Sound lies adjacent to the project. These
waters are classified as SB by NC DEM and estuarine by NC DCM. The
shoreline has a very gentle slope with a firm bottom. No submerged
aquatic vegetation is present within the project area. Water
depths do not exceed 4 feet, within two hundred feet of the normal
water level. The longest fetch approaching this shoreline is
approximately 2.75 miles. The middle 8/10 of the tract's shoreline
shows evidence of active erosion. The nearly vertical bank is void
of vegetation. Conversely, approximately 480 feet of shoreline has
been overgrown with vegetation indicating a much reduced erosion

rate. The U.S. Soil Conservation Service estimates the average
annual erosion rate for the shoreline stretching from Horniblow
Point to Queen Anne's Creek to be 1.7 feet per year.
The applicant proposes developing a 24 lot subdivision. A
total of 37 residential units are proposed resulting in a density
of .88 units per acre. Lots 2 through 23 will have a single family
residence each with its own septic tank and drain field. Lot 1
will have 8 three bedroom, single family units. Sewage from these
units will be pumped to a septic drain field located on a
contiguous area classified by the developer as "Open Space". Lot
24 will have 7 three bedroom cluster homes. Sewage will be handled
on the lot with a septic tank and drain field.
The City of Edenton has given Edenton Bay Company a
conditional rezoning permit (Conditional Use R40 Zoning) with an
expiration date tied to the point at which 80% of the subdivision's
lots are built upon. Until that time the developer will use the
existing lane on Gilliam Woods farm and trestle bridge crossing
Queen Anne's Creek. After the tract is 80% built upon the
developer must find an alternate route through the Gilliam Woods
farm to a state road.
Two piers are proposed. One will be 100' x 6' with a 500 sq.
ft. "T" platform. It will be built off of Lot I. The second pier
will be 200' x 6' in size. It will also have a 500 sq. ft. "T"
platform and be build waterward of Lot 16. A raised walkway, 120'
x 6' in size will cross from the highground on Lot 16 to the second
pier. Parking for 7 cars will be available on Lot 16 for those
wishing to use the second pier. Deed restrictions will limit
future pier lengths to preset lengths. The developer has set, the
pier length limits so the piers cannot be seen from historic
downtown Edenton.
The applicant requests authorization to construct 2,400 feet
of bulkhead. He desires the completed bulkhead to be build
sufficiently waterward of the NWL to result in a slope of 1:4
without grading the existing embankment. Based on the changes in
bank height the proposed bulkhead alignment will vary from 0 to 30
ft. waterward of the NWL with the average distance being 19.1 ft.
The developer has decided on this alignment in order to protect the
trees atop the embankment. He considers the high embankment a
"unique geologic feature" which warrants the proposed bulkhead
alignment being placed an average of 19.1 ft. from the NWL.

Anticipated Impacts
The proposed project will result in the filling of 45,840 sq.
ft. (1.05 acres) of shallow water habitat which are Public Trust
Waters. No submerged aquatic vegetation is present to be impacted.
Approximately 720 sq. ft. (.017 acre) of 11404" wetlands will be
shaded by the proposed elevated walkway on Lot 16. No
jurisdictional wetlands will be filled under the proposed project.
Future development to construct a permanent road accessway to the
subdivision may result in wetland impacts.
Construction of the bulkhead and piers will result in a
localized, temporary increase in water turbidity.
The tract lies within the original historic Hayes Farm.
Development of this land by the applicant or subsequently by the
owners of individual lots may result in impacts to historic sites.
CAMA Review
The N.C. Division of Archives and History has identified two
historic sites on this site (0023, C024) and five others within the
vicinity (CO19, C020, C021, C025, C024). The applicant has
submitted a Preliminary Archeological Evaluation of the tract. The
evaluation team from Chesapeake Quaternary Inc. (CQI), identified
site 31CO23 as the location of "most immediate concern". In their
evaluation summary CQI concludes: "Similarly, a program of
systematic subsurface testing is warranted in the wooded areas of
the subdivision tract if an identification survey is required for
these areas".
No remanent species of plants or animals were identified on
the tract.
High, eroded banks (erosion escarpments) are found regularly
along the Chowan River and Currituck Sound. In many places the
escarpment will exceed 15 ft. height. An escarpment of 12 ft. is
not unusual.
Land Use Consistency comments will be mailed under a separate
cover.

Box 176
Edenton, North Carolina 27932
Dear Mr. Wood:
Please reference your August 18, 1992, meeting with Mrs. Laura Fogo of my
staff, and Mr. George Wood of Environmental Professionals, on your property
located within the Hayes Farm, adjacent to Edenton Bay, off of Water Street,
in Edenton, Chowan County, North Carolina. The purpose of this meeting was to
verify the recent wetlands delineation survey you have undertaken for your
proposed development, Edenton Bay Company.
Based upon the previous onsite inspection on August 18, 1992, and review
of the aforementioned survey, we recognize this surveyed alignment to be the
limits of our regulatory jurisdiction 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 (3)
years from September 10, 1992.
Enclosed are copies of the Wetland Determination Forms, providing specific
information obtained at stations on your property. The data on these forms
supports the delineation of wetlands on your site.
As previously discussed with you and Mr. George Wood, pursuant to Section
404 of the Clean Water Act, a prior Department of the Army permit
authorization will be required for any discharge of excavated or fill material
into waters and/or wetlands on the property. Federal permit authorization
will not be required for work on the property restricted to existing high
ground. Please be reminded that this authorization does not relieve you of
the responsibility to obtain any other required State or local approval.
Thank you for your time and cooperation. If you have any questions,
please contact Mrs. Fogo, at the Washington Regulatory Field office, telephone
[phone].
Sincerely,
G. Wayne Wright
Chief, Regulatory Branch

Edenton, North Carolina 27932
Dear Mr. Wood:
Please reference your application of August 27, 1992, for Department of
the Army authorization to place fill material in approximately 0.037 acres of
404 wetlands for the purpose of constructing a 32-foot-long by 57-foot-wide
minor road crossing to access your property, located within the Hayes Farm,
adjacent to Edenton Bay, off Water Street, in Edenton, Chowan County, North
Carolina. The proposed road crossing will provide access from the Hayes Farm
to the existing highground within your proposed development, Edenton Bay
Company.
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.
Authorization, pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899
and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, was provided for fills for roads
crossing waters of the United States (including wetlands and other special
aquatic sites) provided:
a. The width of the fill is limited to the minimum necessary for the
actual crossing;
b. The fill placed in waters of the United States is limited to a filled
area of no more than one-third acre. Furthermore, no more than a total of 200
linear feet of the fill for the roadway can occur in special aquatic sites,
including wetlands;
c. The crossing is culverted, bridged or otherwise designed to prevent
the restriction of, and to withstand, expected highflows and the movement of
aquatic organisms;
d. The crossing, including all attendant features, both temporary and
permanent, is part of a single and complete project for crossing of a water of
the United States; and
e. For fills in special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the permittee
notifies the District Engineer in accordance with the "Notification" general
condition.
fj. 4-3

Your proposed road crossing is authorized by this nationwide permit
provided it is accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions.
This nationwide permit does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain
any required State or local approval.
This verification will be valid for 2 years from the date of this letter
unless the nationwide authorization is modified, reissued, or revoked. Also,
this verification will remain valid for the 2 years if, during that period,
the nationwide permit authorization is reissued without modification or the
activity complies with any subsequent modification of the nationwide permit
authorization. If during the 2 years, the nationwide permit 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 nationwide permit,
activities which have commenced (i.e., are under construction) or are under
contract to commence in reliance upon the nationwide permit will remain
authorized provided the activity is completed within 12 months of the date of
the nationwide permit's expiration, modification or revocation, unless
discretionary authority has been exercised on a case-by-case basis to modify,
suspend, or revoke the authorization.
As discussed, you should contact the following State agencies to obtain
the required State authorizations prior to starting work: Mr. John Dorney,
North Carolina Division of Environmental Management, telephone [phone],
and Mr. Steve Benton, North Carolina Division of Coastal Management, telephone
[phone].
Thank you for your time and cooperation. If you have any questions,

Reference the application of the Edenton Bay Company for a Department of
the Army permit to construct two piers and a raised walkway and construct and
backfill a bulkhead on Queen Ann's Creek, Edenton Bay, Albemarle Sound, south
of Edenton, Chowan County, North Carolina.
The Federal agencies have completed review of the proposal as presented by
the application and your field investigation report.
We recommend that the following conditions be included in the State
authorization:
a. All work authorized by this permit must be performed in strict
compliance with the permit plans.
b. The bulkhead will be positioned in strict accordance with permit
plans. To prevent an unintentional violation of this authorization,
representatives of the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management and the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will be available to stake the alignment prior to
construction.
C. All backfill materials will be obtained from a highground source and
confined landward of the permitted bulkhead.
d. The fill material will be clean and free of any pollutants except in
trace quantities. Metal products, organic materials, or unsightly debris will
not be used.
e. No vegetated wetlands will be excavated or filled.
f. No attempt will be made by the permittee to prevent the full and free
use by the public of all navigable waters at or adjacent to the authorized
work. Use of the permitted activity must not interfere with the public's
right to free navigation on all navigable waters of the United States.
r , .:.
-2-
g. The permittee will maintain the authorized work in good condition and
in conformance with the terms and conditions of this permit. The permittee is
not relieved of this requirement if he abandons the permitted activity without
having it transferred to a third party.
h. The activity will be conducted in such a manner as to prevent a
significant increase in turbidity outside the area of construction or
construction-related discharge. Increases such that the turbidity in the
waterbody is 50 NTU's or less are not considered significant.
i. No ground-disturbing activities will be conducted within the permit
area until the following conditions are carried out:
(1) An archaeological survey will be conducted to identfy and
evaluate the significance of any archaeological site which may be affected by
the project.
(2) All archaeological investigations will be conducted under the
direction of an experienced archaeologist. Upon completion of the
archaeological survey and site evaluation, a written report must be submitted
to the North Carolina Division of Archives and History for review and comment.
Any mitigation plans developed for National Register-eligible sites will be
approved the the North Carolina Division of Archives and History prior to
implementation.
(3) If it is determined that National Register-eligible
archaeological reources are within the permit area, and that the sites will be
adversely affected by proposed construction activities, a detailed mitigation
plan must be developed and executed.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Ms. Laura Fogo, Washington Field
Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone].

Gentlemen:
Reference your application for Department of the Army (DA) authorization
to construct two piers and a raised walkway and construct and backfill a
bulkhead on Queen Ann's Creek, Edenton Bay, Albemarle Sound, south of Edenton,
Chowan County, North Carolina.
On February 6, 1990, the DA and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) establishing procedures to
determine the type and level of mitigation necessary to comply with the Clean
Water Act Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines. This MOA provides for first, avoiding
impacts to waters and wetlands through the selection of the least damaging,
practical alternative; second, taking appropriate and practical steps to
minimize impacts on waters and wetlands; and finally, compensating for any
remaining unavoidable impacts to the extent appropriate and practical. To
enable us to process your application in full compliance with this MOA, we
request that you provide the following additional information:
a. Permits for work within wetlands or other special aquatic sites are
available only if the proposed work is the least environmentally damaging,
practicable alternative. Please furnish information regarding any other
alternatives, including upland alternatives, to the work for which you have
applied and provide justification that your selected plan is the least
damaging to water or wetland areas.
b. It is necessary for you to have taken all appropriate and practical
steps to minimize wetland losses. Please indicate all that you have done,
especially regarding development and modification of plans and proposed
construction techniques, to minimize adverse impacts.
C. The MOA requires that appropriate and practical mitigation will be
required for all unavoidable adverse impacts remaining after all appropriate
and practical minimization has been employed. Please indicate your plan to
mitigate for the projected, unavoidable loss of waters or wetlands or provide
information as to the absence of any such appropriate and practical measures.
This information is essential to our expeditious processing of your
application and it should be forwarded to us by October 5, 1992. Also, a copy

-2-
of this information must be sent to the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management to enable them to adequately evaluate your
application for a Water Quality Certification pursuant to Section 401 of the
Clean Water Act.
If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Laura Fogo,
Washington Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone].
