Dear Mr. Ragland:
Thank you for your letter of 26 February 1993 apparently
concerning our 401 Certification issued to the Hurst Harbor Home
Owners Association in Onslow County on 31 January 1992 and
amended 8 April 1992 (DEM # 92010). I will try to address your
main points below.
(1) Does Water Quality Certification No. 2688 allow fill of
the pond? As this Certification states on page 1 and page 2,
"pond fill" is explicitly approved.
2) "Many.requests for 401 certifications have been denied
for conditions less substantial for protecting water quality..."
DEM has denied between 2 to 4% of its 404 or CAMA Permit
applications over the past several years. I am not sure that
this denial rate constitutes "Many requests".
3) Mitigation sequence not followed. As you were unaware
when we discussed the matter, DEM regulations (15A NCAC 2B .0109
.and .0200) tell us to use the mitigation sequence (also 404
(b)(1) guidelines) when significant, nonincidential (i.e.,
existing) uses would be removed. In this case, DEM determined
that a significant use would not be removed and that a strict
sequencing would not be necessary. Since you are clearly not
familiar with our permitting process, perhaps a meeting with
Central and Regional office staff to discuss how we review permit
applications would be educational.
4) Was site visited by DEM personnel?
Yes. Mr. Jim Gregson has visited the site several times starting
in late 1991.

(5) "Was any other 401 issued." Yes.
A revised 401 was issued on 8 April 1992 to explicitly remind the
applicant that a stormwater plan will be required and that issues
concerning the 18" culvert discharge must be resolved prior to
the CAMA permit's issuance. This revision was issued to correct
a typographic error and omission in the first Certification.
(6) "The permit as approved could severely impact a
riparian owner as well as future coastal water quality. We
believe that DEM conditions to the 401 Certification as well as
stormwater controls will protect water quality.
I trust that this letter fully answers the concerns raised
in your letter. I urge you to call me (919) 733-1786) to
schedule a meeting to discuss our existing 401 Certification
process. I believe that a meeting would be useful to your
understanding of our 401 review process.

Dear John
The above permit was issued conditional to 401 certification #2688. No other 401 certification was referred
to, yet it is my understanding that # 2688 only applies to rip rap stabilization of shorelines which would
NOT be applicable to the tilling in of the pond and wetlands approved by this pen-nit. This case appears to be a
perfect example of why so many in the development coiYUnunity perceives the 401 program as a c apricious
and abusive invasion of private property rights. Many requests for 401 certifications have been denied for
conditions much less substantial for protecting water quality than is obviously self evident on the above site
(i.e. Morton Commercial site, New Beni, 1991-92). The above CAMA permit allows the filling of an existing
pond, the relic remains of an old small boat basin, clearly within the jurisdiction of "waters of the US",
performing obvious sedimentation water quality improvements for a watershed dominated by roadside
drainage (therefore having a high probability of carrying complex hydrocarbons and heavy metal concentrations
that outfalls into valuable SA waters without a 401 certification. I was astounded to discover that the
mitigation sequence typically applied by your office did not result in at least a portion of the basin being
preserved to continue the existing valuable water quality control functions.
Was this site reviewed by personnel of your Section? Was any other 401 certification issued? Should another
401 certification be applied to the site conditions? The permit as approved could severely impact a riparian
owner as well as future coastal water quality. Mr Parker would prefer to resolve this problem before
damages occur.

RE: Request For Contested Case, Major CAMA Permit 133-92
As you requested, I reviewed the documentation you provided on February 20, 1993 for the above
referenced case. Though you did not request a formal response, the misconceptions and errors
apparent in portions of this material demands a response in the attempt to clarify the facts necessary
for a reasonable and rational resolution of this conflict. As I discussed with you on prior occasions,
your concerns relative to the length of the proposed pier, the evolution of future uses on the adjacent
parcel, and similar objections are not generally subject to scientific analysis and must be decided
based upon interpretations of the specific regulations which is more appropriately addressed by legal
council.
The failure of the permit to address your concerns regarding the rock check dam is another matter. An
incorrect design, placement, or maintenance of the rock check dam is a direct threat to your continued
use and enjoyment of your property. This structure can directly and adversely impact the adequate
performance of your onsite sewage treatment and disposal system. This of course threatens the
continued validity of your improvements permit which is mandatory for the continued legal occupancy
of your residence. Since a malfunctioning "septic system" in this geographic setting is a significant
threat to water quality and protection of water quality standards is specifically addressed in T 15A:
07H .0208 (a) (2) (C), it should be addressed as a mandatory condition to the above permit.
CMT 03-93 ITEM OBSERVATIONS AND RESPONSES
Item 11. 5.: This item incorrectly states that you claimed a soil scientist recommendation to maintain
the top of the rock check dam at least 6' below the access road culvert to your lot. Your letter clearly
states that quantity as 6". Since I am the soil scientist that made that recommendation, I can confirm
unconditionally that the 6" quantity is the absolute minimum needed to maintain a free flow outfall for
the sock tile interceptor mandated by your improvements permit and is absolutely necessary to assure
control of a perched transient water table that could cause your nitrification field to become seasonally
anaerobic and ineffective. It was and is simple to confirm this requirement by contacting the Onslow
County Health Department.
Item 11. 6.: If this statement is taken literally, it is not only incorrect but so absurd as to be completely
unbelievable. The only way I can conceive that Dave Adkins made such a statement is if he was
completely misinformed of the factual circumstances. One does not have to be an engineer,
landscape architect, soil scientist, or in fact have any technical training to understand that a dam
placed downstream at an elevation higher than an upstream structure will result in the inundation of
that structure.

Since the sock tile soil drainage outfall is located near the access road culvert outlet and has it's invert
below that of the access road culvert, the waters that could be backed up by a dam placed at too high
an elevation could not only force water upslope into the sock the system (a reverse of the installation
design function) but virtually guarantees the accelerated sedimentation clogging and failure of the
sock tile outlet. The whole purpose of a rock check dam is to accelerate sediment entrapment
upstream to protect downstream water facilities and quality. This type of structure has been proven
very effective for this purpose and is recommended by the state agency responsible for enforcing the
sediment control regulations. The rock check dam will not cease being effective simply because Mr.
Adkins was not fully informed of the site specific circumstances.
Even if a sediment control structure is needed in the shown location, the effectiveness would not be
significantly compromised if the top of the dam is placed below the average water flow energy
gradient that extends from the access culvert outlet invert to the mean high water line of the AIWW.
The whole intent of the rock check dam objection was to obtain permit conditions that minimize the
threat to continued functioning of your septic system since no elevation was specified on the
submitted plans and no portion of the submitted documentation addressed this very important
problem. In addition, the energy gradient for this drainage ditch has been significantly reduced by
increasing the ditch reach, the placement of an additional culvert and the addition of several sharp
turns in the ditch alinement. When all of these reductions in energy gradient are considered, the
elevation of the top of the rock check dam can be a critical factor in maintaining free flow conditions so
necessary for your sock tile outlet.
When gUl peak discharge conditions are considered and one assumes that the stated 6' and 12'
quantities are typographic errors for the quantities of 6" and 12" , Item II. 6. actually makes sense and
can be considered generally true. The hand written file memo by Stephanie points to a possible
cause of the inaccuracies of this "statement of fact". Is Stephanie, or whomever the original II. 6. author
may be, aware of the technical aspects of the original objection, technically understands the problem
enough to sufficiently describe the factual basis to Mr. Adkins, or have the technical capacity to
understand the logical implications of the evaluation provided by Mr. Adkins? The gross disparities
between ll. 6. and Stephanie's memo implies a significant interagency misunderstandings as well as
a misconception of your original objection to the check dam. As presently stated, this item is false and
in any case is irrelevant to the factual reasons for your objection. Storm water rates and capacities is
only important in context of the potential adverse effects on the soil drainage system needed to
maintain proper functioning of your "septic" system (which is not addressed by Dave).
Item 111. 1.: 1 can not speak to the legal interpretation of the legal mandate that requires the petitioner
to state the specific statutes or regulations that the permit is contrary to but there does seem to be
something inherently unfair about this provision. The most knowledgeable people regarding the
CAMA laws and regulations are the DCM personnel responsible for enforcing those provisions. If
these personnel fail to fulfill their public trust responsibilities (whether by accident or intentionally) is
the public then expected to be as knowledgeable as they are or be as knowledgeable as attorneys to
even request a reasonable hearing of the facts to right a simple error? If this is the case, why even
have a. Division Of Coastal Management to enforce these complex regulations.

Item 111. 3.: It may in fact be true that the your case as presented does not have a substantial
likelihood of success based on the merits of the information available to date. Does this take into
consideration the fact that the DCM response to your initial objection to the rock check dam was
misunderstood, or that they failed to respond to you as promised, or that no attempt was made on their
part to understand the causes or intentions of your objection, or to even provide you with an
understanding of what is expected from you to "prove" the validity of your objections.
The unconditioned placement of the rock check dam poses a real and direct threat to the proper
functioning of your septic system. Does this fact cease to exist just because a specific CAMA rule
protecting your rights is not known bV you to be applicable? Is the threat to the reasonable and
properly permitted use of your property any less a threat simply because CAMA rules or regulatory
personnel failed to recognize the threat? I thought a finding of facts was one of the purposes of the
administrative hearings process, especially since the permit review process did not.
The statement that DEM is the agency most knowledgeable about stormwater impacts on your lot is
not only questionable in regards to septic system (i.e. DHS would certainly be competetitive) but the
implication that DEM approved the stormwater management system for this site misrepresents the
facts. Storm water management for the subdivision containing the subject site was probably approved
on the basis of the low density option which gnjY addressed assurance that a % of built upon area will
not be exceeded, assurance that no storm water collection system will be used, similar assurances for
a few additional criteria, and did not address site specific design review significantly beyond those
assurances (which may not have even included this subject site) and certainly did not address
impacts to your soil drainage system. I know that a detailed or even a generalized engineering
analysis has not been performed by DEM on the subject stormwater system. How can I know this?
Simple faith in Dave Adkins' abilities as an engineer based on my past experiences with him. A dollar
to a doughnut that Mr. Adkins was contacted by phone, responded to an incorrect statement of the
problem, has not seen the site, has not performed any energy gradient analysis on the stormwater
system and certainly did not address the potential adverse impacts the rock check dam could have on
the necessary free flow outfall conditions of the subsurface drain tile on Mr. Parkers adjacent lot.
Since the analysis implied by the statements in this section never occurred, it would seem reasonable
to question the conclusions stated based on "approval" by DEM.
Item 111. 4.: Again, I am not an attorney and can not speak to the validity of the legal arguments
offered. The implications of some of the statements and recommendations does seem to place more
emphasis on the "letter of the law" than fairness or justice. Though it may not be mandatory for
regulatory staff to make a full determination of the applicable facts, it does seem reasonable that a
citizen adversely impacted by an act requiring state approval to expect agencies entrusted with public
protection to attempt an understanding your concerns. In your letter of 1/2/93 to Mr. Schecter, you
clearly identified the culvert problem as related to your problem in obtaining "septic permits", clearly
identified my name with the rock check dam objection, yet I was never contacted by DCM in any
attempt to understand this objection. Your 2/6/92 letter to Jim Mercer clearly identified James E
Stewart and Associates (JESA) as your consultant in regards to water table concerns relative to your
septic tank permit, but JESA has not been contacted for any explanation.

RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Part of the problem with your objection not receiving serious review may be based on both your
lack of technical explanation of the problem and the the misconception of your problem by the DCM
staff. I have historically found most of the professional regulatory staff, including DCM personnel and
representatives of the Attorney Generals Office, reasonable when they are fully aware of the facts and
circumstances of a situation. A request to either eliminate the rock check dam or establish a maximum
top of dam elevation at least six inches below your access culvert outlet invert does not constitute a
hardship condition on the permitted but does significantly reduce a real threat to the value and
enjoyment of your property. I believe your most appropriate response is to request a reconsideration
based on a clarification of the facts hopefully provided by this document. As you requested on 2/23/93,
1 will forward copies of this report to all of the involved individuals and request reconsideration. Any of
the involved individuals are invited to inquire or discuss the site conditions with me. I will also provide
Mr. Carl Milsted with a copy for updating his files.
2. Other administrative resolutions may be available if cooperation with the above request is refused.
The map provided with the application does not clearly identify if the proposed rock check dam is or is
not located in Section 404 Wetlands. I am familiar with this area and I believe that the specific location
shown is in waters of the US (including all of the pond and existing channel profile extending from the
pond to your access road culvert) and requires a 404 permit for any fill placed there in. The rock check
dam certainly qualifies as fill and should certainly be subject to standard 404 permit conditions,
including 401 water quality certification. The only 401 certification specified by Permit 133-92 is to the
best of my knowledge not applicable to the rock check dam or filling the pond and adjacent wetlands.
Why isn't the strict standard conditions applied to general 404 permits and 401 certifications also
being applied to this individual application which is supposed to be reviewed even more stringently
than general permits. There appears to be more than adequate evidence to request an administrative
hearing with the Corps Of Engineers or with the DEM or both based on apparent inequitable
applications of the law.
3. The remaining alternatives involve interpretations of law or more forceful measures and need to be
reviewed with Mr. Milsted.
As you requested, since you are expecting to be working out of the country for an extended period of
time, I will forward this report with a request for reconsideration to the involved persons without your
prior review. Please advise me immediately upon your return if you have any questions, suggestions,
or other comments. If a meeting is desired by any of the involved parties I will attempt to represent
your best interest until you return.

Dear Mr. Hurst:
Reference a recent meeting between Mr. Alan Bell of Alan Bell Surveying,
Mr. Larry Baldwin of the Land Management Group, and Messrs. Mickey Sugg and
Jeff Richter of my staff concerning your property adjacent to a tributary of
Queen Creek, off S.R. 1511, (Hammocks Beach Road) in Swansboro, Onslow County,
North Carolina, to verify Mr. Baldwin's delineation of the presence of
wetlands subject to our regulatory jurisdiction pursuant to Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act.
On August 12, 1992, Mr. Richter checked Mr. Bell's survey plat and
determined that the plat accurately reflects the limits of wetlands on the
property. A copy of this signed survey has been forwarded to Mr. Bell in
conjunction with Mr. Jerry Clodfelter's adjacent property, which is associated
with yours. 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 3 years from the date of the 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.
Mr. Bell has discussed the possiblity of constructing `a'road across two
small wetland draws. Mr. Richter stated that this work can be authorized by
our Nationwide Permit No. 14.
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, 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;
A
-,
-2-
b. The fill placed in waters of the United States is limited to a filled
area of no more than 1/3 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.
Your work is authorized by this NWP provided it is accomplished in strict
accordance with the enclosed conditions and provided you receive a Section 401
water quality certification from the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management and, in the coastal area, a consistency determination from the
North Carolina Division of Coastal Management. You should contact Mr. John
Dorney, telephone (919) 733-1786, regarding water quality certification, and
Mr. Steve Benton, telephone (919) 733-2293, regarding consistency
determination. This NWP does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain
other required State or local approval.
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.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Richter, Wilmington Field

Dear Mr. Dorney:
Enclosed is the application of the Hurst Harbor Homeowners Park
Association, represented by Mr. Ned Hurst, for Department of the Army
authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to bulkhead and fill a
pond, place riprap material and construct a boatramp and pier on the Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW), near Swansboro, Onslow 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 March 16, 1992, the
District Engineer will deem that waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Jeffrey Richter, Wilmington
Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone (919) 251-4636.

9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: Hurst Harbor is a 30 lot subdivision
consisting of 22.8 acres of property located on the Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW), near the Town of Swansboro, at
the end of SR1511, in Onslow County, NC. Over the past two
years, this single-family subdivision with its interior road
system has been successfully developed landward of the CAMA
75' Estuarine Shoreline AEC. Today, a number of individual
houses are under construction and the homeowners association
represented by Mr. Ned Hurst, Trustee, proposes to develop a
water access park and boat launching facility. The actual
project site is shown on the plat as the 0.6 acre
homeowner's park located on the AIWW next to Lot #1 at the
entrance to Hurst Harbor.
The applicant proposes to bulkhead the shoreline and
backfill a man-made basin/pond. The pond measures about
120' long x 60' wide. It collects upland runoff water from
the surrounding property which ultimately drains into the
estuarine surface waters of the AIWW via a narrow shallow
gut in the beach berm. Although intermittent patches of
cattails and saltmarsh cordgrass (an estimated 1,000 sq..
ft.) occur around the edge of the basin, the pond should be
considered non-tidal. The natural beach berm is only
occasionally over-washed during storm conditions. The Corps
of Engineers has identified the vegetation around the pond
as 1404' wetlands. Salt bushes and water willow dominate
the 2,550 sq. ft. of estimated 1404' wetlands. As proposed,
the entire pond and wetland area, a total of some 9,750 sq.
ft. will be directly displaced by the backfill operation.
On the northeast side of the shoreline, a 60' section of
wooden bulkhead will be installed at or above the MHW level
and will be attached to the corner of the existing bulkhead
on Lot #1 owned by Mr. Jerry Clodfelter. An 18" culvert
pipe will be installed to accommodate the upland drainage
from the DOT ditch that enters the property at SR1511. The
proposed drainage pipe will pass through the bulkhead to
allow discharge into the open 'SA' surface waters of the
AIWW. On the southwest side of the shoreline, the applicant
proposes 18 ln. ft. of rock riprap to be placed in a similar
fashion as used on the adjacent property known as Hammocks
Point Subdivision. A 12' wide concrete boat ramp will join
the 18' section of rock riprap. As shown on the workplat
drawings, the concrete ramp will extend approximately 60'
waterward of the MHW shoreline. A 12' designated driveway
and turnaround area will be covered with marl and will
connect the boat ramp with the paved road listed as John L.
Hurst Drive. The water access park will be completed with
# i

the construction of a wooden pier measuring 6' wide x 130'
long. An L-head platform measuring 10' x 20' will occupy
the terminal end of the pier in water that approximates
-2.9' on MLT. The application indicates that the end of the
pier will be some 340' from the edge of the AIWW.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The existing pond is the remnant of a
man-made basin and highground. Over the past 20 years, the
natural shoaling tendencies along this section of shoreline
have closed the original channel entrance. The applicant
has accurately detailed the amount of direct impact by the
bulkhead and backfill operation listing the surface water
area of the pond at approximately 7,200 sq. ft., and a total
of 2,550 sq. ft. of vegetated wetlands identified as the
1404' type. In addition, the concrete boat ramp will
displace 780 sq. ft. of subaqueous bottomland characterized
by hard sand and shell material. The proposed pier will
occupy about 980 sq. ft. of public trust at a water depth of
-2.91. No mooring piles or other boat slips have been
designated in the project drawings.

IN REPLY REFER TO August 24, 1992
Regulatory Branch
Action ID. 199203297
Mrs. Ruth Ingram
200 Gertrude Hurst Court
Swansboro, North Carolina 28584
Dear Mrs. Ingram:
SEP - 4 W2
Reference your August 12, 1992, meeting with Mr. Jeff Richter of my staff
concerning your proposed filling of a small wetland area on your property
adjacent to the AIWW in the Hurst Harbor subdivision, in Swansboro, Onslow
County, North Carolina.
Mr. Richter stated that the area in question is subject to our regulatory
jurisdiction and will require Department of the Army authorization prior to
the placement of fill material in it. He stated that our Nationwide Permit
No. 18 authorizes the placement of up to 25 cubic yards of fill in wetlands
provided that the enclosed conditions can be met and concurrence from the
North Carolina Division of Environmental Management is obtained. Also
enclosed is a permit application for your use. The same form is to be used
for both the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer's authorization and the North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management's 401 Water Quality
Certification. You may wish to contact Mr. Jim Mercer of the North Carolina
Division of Coastal Management at telephone (919) 726-7021 to discuss the need
for further State authorization.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Richter, Regulatory Branch,
telephone (919) 251-4636.
Sincerely,
G. Wayne Wright
Chief, Regulatory Branch
