Please reference the application of Coastal Marketing and Development Company for
Department of the Army authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to construct a 29
slip maria in Adams Creek adjacent to the Fulshire Plantation Subdivision located at the end of
NCSR 1700 Adams Creek Road northeast of Harlowe in Craven 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, in most cases, 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, or asked for an extension of time, by October 5, 2009, the District Engineer will
deem that waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Ms. Tracey Wheeler, Washington Regulatory
Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
Tracey Wheeler
Regulatory Project Manager
