• Bio Report
* Page Two
The applicant owns lots 18 and 19 in Dances Bay Colony a subdivision in Pasquotank
County on the Little River. Combined, his lots result in a tract size of 56,379 square feet (1.29
acres).
The applicant's lands are bordered by the Little River on the south, a canal to the east,
a state road to the north and an undeveloped lot to the west. A natural drainage slough crosses
diagonally through his lots running southeasterly from the N.W. corner of his lot on the road
to the canal approximately 73 feet from the Little River. Elevations of the high ground above
mean high water level vary from approximately 1 foot to approximately 5 feet at the highest
point on the property. The only man made feature on the tract, is the bulkhead along the Little
River and canal shoreline. In 1992 the applicant received a general permit ##8437A to build 125
feet of bulkhead and to repair the existing bulkhead.
The natural slough running through the property broadens out to a pond approximately
2,875 square feet in size. A channel (approximately 10' x 35') connects the pond to the existing
canal. In 1989, the previous owner of this tract was cited with a CAMA Major Violation for
widening the existing channel from the pond to the canal. No restoration was required as the
overall water quality was improved by the development efforts.
Waters adjacent to the tract are classified SC by the NC DEM and are considered
estuarine by NC DCM. These waters are not considered primary nursery areas. Water depths
along the shoreline are approximately -2.5 feet deep along both the Little River and canal. The
pond depth is approximately -1 feet. The channel connecting the pond and . canal is
approximately -1 feet deep. There is no evidence of any pond shoreline erosion.
The soils on the tract vary according to the topographic position. The upland area's soils
are a light colored, silt loam most probably a Roanoke soil. The areas delineated around the
existing pond as "404" wetlands by the USCOE have a dark (black) clay, "A" horizon underlain
by a dark blue/gray (gley) clay.
Vegetation on the upland soil consisted of an overstory of swamp oak uercus bicolor),
shagbark hickory Cara lacinsara, willow oak ( uercus hellos). The understory is made up
of dog fennal, groundsel tree (Baccharis halimifolia), golden rod Solida o uli inosa), and small
loblolly pine Pi nu taeda) seedings.
Vegetation in the disturbed area landward of the existing bulkhead consists of switchgrass
(Panicum yir atum), broomsedge (Andropoeon), and dallisgrass Vir inicus).
Vegetation in the "404" areas consists of a few bald cypress trees Taxodium distichium),
sweetgum trees (Liquidambar styraciflua), swamp oak ( uercus bicolor) and. an understory of
soft needle rush Juncus effusus), groundsel trees Baccharis halimifolia), cat briar Smilax V.),
and various sedges (Carex sue.).

Bio Report

There are no submerged aquatic plants in the pond. Emergent vegetation along the
shoreline consists of patches of pickerelweed (Pontederia cordata), soft needle rush Juncus
effusus, and cat-tail (Tvphia ,sue.). The cat-tails have been planted by the applicant.
The applicant proposes rip rapping the shoreline of the existing pond and channel with
granite stone to enhance the aesthetics of the property. He proposes placing the rip rap a
maximum of 5 feet waterward of the normal water level (NWL). The rip rap will slope
landward with a maximum height of 1 1/2 feet. The applicant desires to backfill the rip rap with
clean fill material around the pond to a depth of approximately 1 foot. The applicant calculates
21.8 cubic yards of fill will be needed to accomplish his goals. 1,960 square feet of "404"
wetlands will be filled. The USCOE has issued the applicant a Nationwide Permit No. 18 for
this wetland filling activity.
Anticipated Impacts
The proposed project will result in the loss of 1,960 square feet of "404" wetlands. The
shallow water of the pond should result in the re-establishment of some emergent vegetation.
Water turbidity will be increased by only a small margin temporarily during the
development phase. Water quality should not be impaired by this activity.
CAMA Review
The proposed project is not located within an area identified as having significant
archeological or historical significance. There are no known remanent or endangered plant or
animal species on this tract. The site has no unique geologic importance.
A review of the projects Land Use Plan consistency will follow under separate letterhead.

Pasquotank County
DEM Project # 92454
Upon review of your request for Water Quality Certification
to place fill material in 0.045 acres of wetlands for lot fill
located at lots 18 and 19, Dances Bay Colony, Pasquotank County,
We have determined that the proposed fill can be covered by
General Water Quality Certification.No. 2671 issued January 21,
1992. A copy of the General Certification is attached. This
Certification may be used in qualifying for coverage under Corps
of Engineers' Nationwide Permit No. 26. An additional condition
is that septic tank drainfields may not be placed in filled
wetlands.
If you have any questions, please contact John Dorney at
919/733-1786 or 919/733-1787.

Mr. Fred A. Davis

Elizabeth City, North Carolina 27909
Dear Mr. Davis:
Through coordination with the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management, we have learned of your plans to place riprap and fill material in
approximately 3,460 square feet of wetlands on Little River, Dances Bay
Colony, Pasquotank 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, pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act and
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, was provided for discharges of dredged or
fill material into all waters of the United States provided:
a. The discharge does not exceed 25 cubic yards;
b. The discharge will not cause the loss of more than 1/10 acre of a
special aquatic site, including wetlands. For the purposes of this nationwide
permit, the acreage limitation includes the filled area plus special aquatic
sites that are adversely affected by flooding and special aquatic sites that
are drained so that they would no longer be a water of the United States as a
result of the project;
Your work is authorized by this nationwide permit provided it is
accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions and provided
you comply with your Section 401 water quality certification from the North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM) and your Coastal Area
Management permit from the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management
(NCDCM).
This verification will be valid for two years from the date of this
letter unless the nationwide authorization is modified, reissued or revoked.
Also, this verification will remain valid for the two 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 two 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 twelve 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.
