Dear Mr. Ritzel:
Subject: Proposed Fill in Wetlands or Waters
Gabion mattress and return dredge water
Cumberland County
DEM Project # 92661
Upon review of your request for Water Quality Certification
to place fill material in waters for installation of gabion
mattress and return water from dredging located at Fort Bragg,
Recondo School site in Cumberland County, we have determined that
the proposed fill can be covered by General Water Quality
Certifications No. 2665 and 2668 issued January 21, 1992. Copies
of the General Certifications are attached. These Certifications
may be used in qualifying for coverage under Corps of Engineers'
Nationwide Permit No. 13.
If you have any questions, please contact John Dorney at
919/733-1786.
Sincerely,
L . Preston Howard Jr. P.E.

SUBJECT: Action ID No. 199203598, Project Number FW-00460-1, Excavation of
Sediment from Little River, Recondo School, Fort Bragg, NC
1. Reference AFZA-DE-E letter, dated 11 September 1992, subject: Project
Number FW-00460-1, Erosion Control at Recondo school, Fort Bragg, NC.
2. ]Excavation of sediment from the section of Little River beneath the "Slide
for Life" cable at the Recondo School does not include activity in any area
subject to our jurisdiction pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors
Act, and no dredged or fill materials are placed in waters of the United
states, including wetlands, which would invoke our jurisdiction pursuant to
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Therefore, a Department of the Army (DA)
permit is not required for the routine, continuous excavation of this sediment
provided the material removed continues to be placed and retained on
high ground.
3. Your proposed placement of a gabion mattress along approximately
380 linear feet of Little River shoreline at the Recondo School is authorized
by Nationwide Permit No. 13 (Bank stabilization) as detailed In separate
correspondence.
4. Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Scott McLendon, Wilmington

RE: Erosion Control @ Recondo School
Fort Bragg, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Dorney:
On September 3, 1992, Mr. Scott McClendon (Corps - Wilmington
District), Mr. Ken Averette (DEM), Mr. Kevin Martin (soil &
Environmental Consultants), Mr. Dave Vaughn and myself inspected.
the above referenced project. Several items/concerns discussed are
as follows:
1) The gabion mattress being installed should not xceed one (1)
cubic yard of fill below the mean high water leve per linear
foot and will extend approximately 380 fe,t in length, in
accordance with the Nationwide Permit 13 for bank
stabilization.
2) I am of the opinion, the majority of the material being
dredged will, be sands and gravel.. The auguring in the water
performed at the site exhibited the material to disperse
rather quickly. Any suspended particles should settle as the
flow passed the "rope drop area" located approximately 300
feet downstream. In this area (drop rope) the natural bottom
is much deeper and a natural barrier (located approximately
100 feet further downstream) limits the water velocity during
normal flows. This area should perform as a natural sediment
basin, not requiring any construction in the creek. We
understand that specific turbidity limits will be described in
our permit and/or certification.
3) There, is evidence on-site that the "slide for life" sediment
has been cleaned out several times in the past. I am sure in
order to maintain the safety and integrity of the facility the
sediment must be removed. Fort Bragg DEH will be forwarding
a letter to the Corps (Wilmington District) confirming this
fact.
