Dear General:
This Office has reviewed your Individual Permit application and is placing your project on hold until
we receive the following additional information:
The information provided in the application is used by DWQ to determine if there are no practical
alternatives or ways to avoid the impacts proposed to the shallow bottom habitats. Demonstrating
that, considering the potential for a reduction in size or configuration of the proposed activity and
all the alternative designs, the basic project purpose cannot be practically accomplished in a
manner that would avoid or result in a less adverse impact to the shallow bottom habitats may
show the lack of practical alternatives. The projects as proposed do not meet these required
criteria. It appears that a reduction in the size of the base width of the riprap sill would still allow
you to accomplish the basic purpose of the project, meet the Division of Coastal Management's
specifications, and would also result in less adverse impacts to the shallow bottom habitats.
The overall purpose of the fill for planting marsh habitat behind the proposed sills, in these type
of projects, is to create enough elevation to plant coastal marsh species that will enhance the
shoreline protection offered by the proposed sills. In the project application, it is proposed to
place enough fill material to build up the existing shallow bottom habitats to the top of the
eroding banks. This proposed impact does not demonstrate the avoidance and minimization
criteria required for projects by DWQ. The elimination of the fill component of the project would
avoid the additional impacts to the shallow water habitats and would still allow you to accomplish
the basic purpose of the project.

SUBJECT: Action ID: 200500376, Department of the Army permit request
1. On 18 January 2005, this office received your application for Department of the Army
authorization to impact 5,880 ft2 of estuarine bottom of the New River and 10,180 ft2 of
estuarine bottom of Northeast Creek, a tributary of the New River, associated with the
construction of two proposed offshore sill projects. The two projects are located at Hospital
Pointe and Brewster Scout Camp both sites located within Marine Corp Base, Camp Lejeune,
east of Sneads Ferry, Onslow County, North Carolina.
2. After review of your proposal, we received two comments from review agencies. The
comments came from the Unites States Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service as
well as the National Marine Fisheries Service. Both comments generally comment on the height
of the offshore rock structure, volume and elevation of backfill, and the proposed vegetation to
be planted landward of the rock structure. The overall design of the project seems to be the
overriding concern. I have attached these letters for your review as well.
3. Our administrative process provides you the opportunity to propose a resolution and/or rebut
objections before this agency makes a final decision. In this regard, please provide a response,
in writing, on or before 20 April 2005.

Lejeune, Onslow County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Shaver:
This letter provides the comments of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) on the
subject Public Notice (PN), dated January 28, 2005. The applicant, Marine Corps Base,
Camp Lejeurle, has applied for a Department of the Army (DA) permit to construct riprap
sill structures at two locations on the base. These comments are submitted in accordance
with the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (FWCA) (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16
U.S.C. 661-667d). Comments related to the FWCA are to be used in your determination
of compliance with 404(b)(1) guidelines (40 CFR 230).and in your public interest review
(33 CFR 320.4) in relation to the protection of fish and wildlife resources. Additional
comments are provided regarding the District Engineer's determination of project
impacts pursuant to section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 1531-1543).
Proposed Actions and Environmental Impacts
The PN contains an attachment with the justification and project description for the
proposed work. The PN and attachment state that two shoreline areas on the base are
experiencing erosion. One site, Brewster Scout Camp (BSC), is adjacent to Northeast
Creek and extends approximately 1,018 feet. The bank at this site consists of a 1:1 slope
dropping 15-20 feet and an escarpment ranging up to ten feet above the normal water
level. The total disturbed area at the BSC would be less than one acre. The other site,
Hospital Point (HP), is adjacent to New River and extends approximately 392 feet. This
area is immediately adjacent to a helicopter landing pad.
The attachment states that the applicant proposes to construct a granite riprap sill
approximately ten feet offshore of the mean high water (MHW) line at both locations.
Both sills would be backfilled with a sandy material obtained from the French Creel:
borrow pit on the base. The attachment states that the area between the granite rocks and
2
the shoreline would be filled to an elevation approximately one foot above the MHW
line. Each rock structure would have notches, or drop-down areas, spaced along the
structure. These would be approximately 20 feet wide. The area landward of the notches
would be filled with oyster shells at a minimum depth of 12 inches. The areas of soil fill
would be planted with smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniora) at 18 inches on center.
The rock structures would likely be constructed from the adjacent uplands. The applicant
does not anticipate that the stones would be barged to the area.
The verbal descriptions are not entirely consistent with the detailed drawing of each
project and there is no clear frame of reference for the elevations given with project
plans. The drawing from the BSC project shows the top of the sill at 3.0 feet, the top of
the fill at 2.5 feet, and both the normal low water and notch elevation at 1.0 foot. In the
consistency statement for BSC, Item 12 notes that the height of the riprap structure would
be approximately 1.1 feet above "normal high water elevation." The drawing for the HP
project shows the top of the sill at 4.0 feet, the top of the fill at 2.5 feet, and both the
normal low water and notch elevation at 1.0 foot. Both project drawings label two points
as the "existing top of the bank." The side views of both sites indicate that the areas
landward of the mean high water line would have "no disturbance," but the verbal
description states that fill would be placed to an elevation approximately one foot above
the mean high water level. Both project drawings give the "normal low water elevation"
as one foot, plus or minus, but do not provide a clear definition of the base, or zero
elevation, for these elevations. In many cases, low water is given as a negative number,
the distance below the mid-tide elevation which can be designated as mean sea level.
The verbal description (Wetland Impacts section) states that no placement of fill would
occur above the "normal water level," but this terns is usually associated with non-tidal
areas and its meaning in this context is not clear. Bottom elevation at both sites "varies,"
but it is not clear what the range of such variations would be.
The PN describes construction differently. The PN states that the HP sill would range
from 10 to 20 feet offshore depending on the breaks New River shoreline. This
description states that the BSC sill would have a top at three feet with the "surrounding
water level" at 1.7 feet. The backfill would extend to a height of 2.5 feet. The HP rock
structure would have an elevation of 3.5 feet compared to the same normal water level of
1.7 feet. The sand backfill would extent to the same elevation of 2.5 feet.
The "wetland impact" sections of the verbal descriptions in the attachment state that the
backfill material would be placed to an elevation approximately equal to the top of the
eroded bank as depicted on project plans. However, as noted, the drawings for both
projects have two points designated as the "existing top of the bank."
The attachment notes that the elevation of the fill material behind each sill was
established based upon a survey of elevations in the general area where smooth cord
grass was occurring naturally. The verbal description notes a "soil elevation,"
presumably the top of the fill, of 2.5 feet "should allow for fully saturated soil conditions
during normal water levels." However, both projects appear to entirely fill the intertidal
zone.
3
The PN and attachment do not provide details of the environmental impacts. For both
sites, the attachment states that any "subaquatic vegetation," presumably submerged
aquatic vegetation (SAV), that exists in the footprint of the stone sill and fill would be
impacted. There is no proposal to remove any existing SAV. The verbal descriptions in
the attachment note that the projects do not include the placement of fill on any areas
above the normal water level that were identifiable as adjacent wetland areas.
Fish and Wildlife Resources to Consider
The Service is concerned that the proposed project would diminish fish and wildlife
habitat values by altering the natural zonal patterns of estuarine shoreline communities in
both the short- and long-term. Primarily in response global sea level rise, estuarine plant
communities have been, and will continue to gradually move inland. While estimates
vary widely, sea level is currently rising about one foot per century (Pilkey et al. 1998, p.
45). Frankenberg (1997, p. 100) states that at the present time upland pines are being
killed off as sea level rise and storms push salty water inland and the gradual replacement
of upland communities with more salt tolerant species is dramatic evidence of sea level
rise. Brackish marshes are generally wave dominated and characterized by irregular
storm-tide flooding that generally causes organic shorelines to erode (Pilkey et al. 1998,
pp. 75-76). Preventing the natural shifting of estuarine plant communities by
constructing hard, shoreline stabilization structures will eventually reduce the area
available to certain plant communities and may lead to the disappearance of some
communities at their present location.
Coastal ecosystems provide many vital ecological and economic services, including
shoreline protection, productive commercial and sport fisheries, and nutrient cycling
(Beck et al. 2003). Major, nearshore ecosystems, such as SAV and salt marsh, are
particularly valuable for their extremely high productivity which supports a great
abundance and diversity of fish as well as oysters, crabs, and other invertebrates which
form a base for important estuarine food chains. Street et al. (2004, p. 18; available at <
http://www.ncdmf.net/habitat/clipp28.litml >) state that coastal habitats provide a variety
of function for fisheries resources. The general functions of habitat for fishery and forage
species include:
1. Refuge - Properties of the habitat that provide cover for organisms at various life
stages to escape from predators and adverse environmental conditions. Structural refuge
can also encourage attachment of colonizing sessile (stationary or non-mobile)
organisms.
2. Spawning - Properties of the habitat that provide the necessary conditions (substrate,
temperature, flow, structure, etc.) for successful spawning of adults;
3. Nursery - Properties of the habitat that provide a combination of refuge and foraging
habitat resulting in successful development of subadult life stages of aquatic organisms.
Nursery habitat can be further defined as habitats that contribute disproportionately to the
4
production of individuals that recruit to adult populations (Beck et al. 2001; see Street et
al. for citation);
4. Foraging - Properties of the habitat that enhance growth of species' life stages through
the presence, accessibility, and vulnerability of prey organisms; and,
5. Corridor - Properties of the habitat that allow relatively safe passage (either active or
passive) of species' life stages among foraging, spawning, and refuge areas. This function
also addresses the connectivity of aquatic habitat and its effect on aquatic organism.
Coastal North Carolina bays may have estuarine marsh borders and sea grass flats, or
areas of SAV, that provide natural habitats for animals and plants that do not occur as
abundantly in unvegetated areas (Frankenberg 1997, p. 104). Both communities may
export organic matter that is eaten by omnivorous animals in surrounding creeks and
bays. The subtidal nature of sea grass flats makes them more important than marshes as
habitat for aquatic species Frankenberg (1997, p. 105). Much of the productivity of salt
marshes, particularly the irregularly flooded needlerush marshes, is incorporated into
marsh soil to produce organic-rich peat rather than food for animals in the surrounding
waters. Sea grass leaves may have over 350 species of algae and more than 120 species
of animals Frankenberg (1997, p. 105). Four to five times as many species live in the
sediment under sea grasses as live in adjacent, unvegetated areas. Sea grass beds are
considered more important for coastal ecosystems than salt marsh and effort to preserve
such beds will be directly reflected in increased harvests of fish and shellfish
(Frankenberg 1997, p. 105).
Fish nursery areas in North Carolina estuaries are typically shallow, nearshore areas that
support large populations of growing post-larval and juvenile fishes and shellfish during
their first year of life (Copeland et al 1984, p. 53). In the Pamlico River Estuary, north of
the project site, fish nursery areas generally have mud substrate and/or mud-grass
bottoms (Copeland et al 1984, p. 53). The river bottoms immediately waterward of the
project site may serve as a fish nursery area, irregardless of whether the area is vegetated
or unvegetated. Shallow, unvegetated, estuarine bottoms are used by demersal (bottom
dwelling) fish species, such as sturgeons and flounders, which live and feed in bottom
sediment. Shore fishes are abundant in unvegetated shallows, but they often migrate into
adjacent weed beds and marshes, where there is greater protection and an even richer
supply of food. The ecological role and functions of estuarine soft bottom habitats have
recently been summarized (Street et al. 2004, pp. 270-271). This discussion notes that
benthic microalgae, microscopic photosynthetic algae that live in the top few millimeters
of the surface of soft bottom, are a key part of the food chain in estuarine soft bottom
habitat. Furthermore, while unvegetated bottoms may appear barren, they are actually
rich in photosynthetic algae.
Soft bottoms are used to some extent by almost all native coastal fish species in North
Carolina (Street et al. 2004, p. 375). Juvenile and adult fish species that forage on the
rich abundance of microalgae, detritus, and small invertebrates are highly dependent on
the condition of soft bottoms. Street et al. (2004, Table 6.2, p. 376) summarize the
common or important fish species occurring on soft bottom habitat in riverine, estuarine,
and ocean waters along with the ecological functions provided to these species. A copy
of this table is provided as an attachment to these comments.
Federally Protected Species
The Service has reviewed available information on federally-threatened or endangered
species known to occur in Onslow County. We have also reviewed information from the
North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database which contains excellent
data on the special status species, both federal and state. This database can be accessed
by topographic quadrangle (quad) of the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS). Data from
USGS quads provide the most project-specific information on species which should be
considered in permitting this project. The project area is in the Jacksonville South and
Camp Lejeune quads. The occurrence data of special status species within these quads
can be obtained on the internet under the heritage data link of <
littl2://www.ncnhp.or(-,/Pages/lieritaeedata.htnil >.
Our review indicates that the only federally protected species under Service jurisdiction
likely to occur in the project area is the West Indian manatee (Trichechus maliatzus), a
federally-endangered mammal. There are current occurrence records for the species in
the Camp Lejeune quad and one known occurrence north of the project areas in Northeast
Creek in the vicinity of the NC Highway 24 crossing. The shallow, estuarine waters of
New River and Northeast Creek may provide suitable habitat for manatees that move
along the Atlantic Coast during summer months and are seasonal transients in North
Carolina, primarily from June through October. Manatees may occupy waters one to two
meters (3.3 -6.6 feet) deep. The species moves extensively when in North Carolina
waters and past occurrence records cannot be used to precisely determine the likelihood
that it will be presence at a particular construction site.
The Service was not able to determine precise water depths at the sill, the marker posts
which would be placed waterward of the sills, or the turbidity curtains which would be
used during constructions. Work in these areas could pose a threat to manatees.
Manatees can become entangled in turbidity curtains. To protect manatees in North
Carolina, the Service developed guidelines entitled "Precautions for General Construction
in Areas Which May Be Used by the West Indian Manatee in North Carolina." These
guidelines address all types of in-water construction, except blasting, and should produce
little, if any, additional expense. The guidelines are intended mainly to ensure that
construction personnel are informed that manatees may occur in the work area, that work
should cease if a manatee approaches the work area, work should not resume until the
manatee leaves the work area, and procedures for reporting the death or injury of a
manatee. These guidelines are available on our web site at < http://nc-
es.fws.(-,ov/mammal/manatee guidelines.pdf5. The risk to manatees could be reduced to
an acceptable level by the implementation of the Service's guidelines. The risk would be
further reduced by performing the work during the period of November through May.
With the inclusion of our manatee conditions, the Service would concur with a
determination by the District Engineer that the action is not likely to adversely affect
species designated as threatened, endangered, or their designated critical habitat.
However, the requirement of section 7 would need to be reconsidered if. (1) new
information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect listed species or
critical habitat in a manner not previously considered; (2) this action is subsequently
modified in a manner that was not considered in this review; or, (3) a new species is
listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the identified action.
Service Concerns and Recommendations
As noted above, natural estuarine shorelines provide habitat and other benefits to a
diverse of fisheries resources and species which depend on these resources. As such
there should be clear justifications for altering these shorelines. As Riggs and Ames
(2003, p. 147) point out, the continuing rise in global sea level will continue to produce
an upward and landward migration of the North Carolina shoreline. Sea level rise means
that erosion is "ubiquitous to all North Carolina's thousands of miles of shoreline."
Therefore, the fact that the two proposed work areas have experienced "excessive erosion
in the past" is not a unique situation.
The need and purpose for stabilizing these two particular areas are not clear. Tile PN
notes that the applicant's need and purpose is shoreline stabilization for both sites.
Shoreline stabilization is one of several possible actions and such stabilization represents
a solution rather than a problem. While the HP work would be near a helicopter landing
pad, there is no discussion of any imminent threat to this structure. There is no
discussion of any structure at risk at BSC. The Service recommends that the applicant
provide a statement of need for work in these areas along with a consideration of
alternatives to shoreline stabilization.
The Service acknowledges that shoreline stabilization would be one of several options to
protect important structures, if they are at risk. However, such stabilization should be
designed to minimize adverse environmental impacts. In this regard, the designs given in
the PN and attachment are difficult to understand. The Service recommends that the
applicant provide a better description of the proposed work. There should be a clear base
for vertical elevation in the tidal area. We recommend that the zero value be set at mean
sea level, the mid-point between MHW and MLW. With this base elevation, MLW
would be expressed as a negative number. The plans should show any intertidal area
before and after construction. There should be a better representation of the existing
shoreline configuration, e.g., the top of bank, in relation to any shoreline stabilization
structure.
The Service recommends that the height of sill be set at the mean high water level, or at
the most six inches above MHW. The NCDCM regulations (Specific condition f, given
at 15A NCAC 07H.2705) state that the height of sills shall not exceed six inches above
MHW, normal water level (for non-tidal areas), or the height of the adjacent wetland
substrate, whichever is greater. The attachment notes that sill height at HP would be 1.8
7
feet above the "normal high water elevation." This elevation was proposed to prevent
scour or washing from occurring due to wave action. However, the overall purpose of a
sill in front of a coastal marsh is to allow aquatic organisms to move in and out of the
marsh. Rogers and Skrabel (2001, p. 21) state that stone sills should cause water to break
on the crest and trap some water behind the structure. The trapped water is allowed to
return to the main water body either through small opening in the structure or larger
opening in the structure.
The Service recommends that the fill behind the stone sill be contoured to represent an
intertidal area. The fill should not be placed higher than the MHW line. Such as design
is consistent with the NCDCM regulations (Specific condition k, given at 15A NCAC
07H.2705) which state that for "the protection of public trust rights, fill waterward of the
existing mean high water line shall not be placed higher than the mean high water
elevation." The proposed work described in the PN appears to convert waters of the
United States to an upland area. The pen-nit should also consider the legal title of any
uplands created as a result of filling nearshore waters. NCDCM regulations (Specific
condition 1, given at 15A NCAC 07H.2705) state that a pennittee shall not claim title to
any land raised above the mean high (in tidal areas) or normal water (in non-tidal areas)
as a result of filling or accretion.
Fill which represented an intertidal area would provide appropriate hydrologic conditions
to support the proposed marsh consisting of smooth cordgrass. The attachment notes that
the elevation of the fill was based on surveyed elevations in adjacent wetlands where
natural vegetation was established and that appropriate elevation can be determined by
observing healthy marshes nearby. However, it is not entirely clear whether these
comparisons are appropriate to establish a smooth cordgrass marsh. The plants
composing this natural vegetation and nearby marshes are not given. The marshes used
as reference could be composed of high marsh plants such as black needlerush (Juncos
roemerianus) or salt meadow cordgrass (Spartina patens) which occupy zones which are
flooded irregularly. Rogers and Skrabal (2001, p. 17) write that smooth cordgrass prefers
a daily tide cycle with wet and dry periods, generally growing best between the high
water elevation and mid-tide level. The attachment appears to address this issue by
stating that "the top of the fill at 2.5 feet "should allow for a fully saturated soil condition
during normal water levels." However, the Service remained concerned that S.
alterniflora may have difficulty survived without some tidal flooding and may face
competition from upland species. *** While the proposed sill may be saturated to some
extent, it is unclear to what extent the fill area would represent a jurisdictional wetland.
If the area does not represent a jurisdictional wetland, the Service recommends that
compensatory wetland mitigation be developed.
A major reason that the Service recommends the creation of an intertidal area behind the
rock structures is the proposed fill to a level of above MHW would not provide even
temporary access to aquatic organisms. In this regard important fisheries habitat would
be permanently lost.
The Service is concerned that the proposed construction will exacerbate erosion on
adjacent shorelines and lead to additional construction. Street et al. (2004, p. 391) state
that in North Carolina, estuarine and riverine shoreline stabilization has traditionally
utilized hard structures such as bulkheads, rock revetments or riprap, sills, breakwaters,
groins, or combinations thereof. Although excessive sediment loading is considered a
water quality issue, erosion of sediments is a natural process that provides sand for
maintenance of beaches, wetlands, and shallow water habitat. When this sand supply is
cut off by a hard structure under rising sea level conditions, the long-terns results are a net
loss of beach and intertidal shoreline and the deepening of shallow water habitat. Any
additional erosion produced by the structures would result in the loss of high quality
intertidal shoreline and shallow water habitat which, as noted, serve as important nursery,
feeding and spawning grounds to many economically and biologically valuable fish
species in North Carolina.
The Service recommends that the impact areas be surveyed for the presence of SAV.
While the attachment notes that any SAV within the impact zones would be impacted,
there is no assessment of whether SAV occurs in the areas. If areas of SAV would be
eliminated, the applicant should develop a plan of compensatory mitigation for this very
important aquatic habitat.
Summary
Based on the concerns discussed above, the Service does not support the issuance of a
DA permit for the work as presented in the current PN. While we anticipate that
additional information will establish a need for shoreline protection in the two areas, we
believe that such protection can be achieved with less adverse impacts to important
aquatic resources than the current proposal. In accordance with the 404(b)(1) guidelines
impacts to the waters of the United States should avoided and minimized to the maximum
extent practical. We believe that significant design changes could reduce adverse
environmental impacts and even lead to some enhancement of fish and wildlife resources.
There should be evidence that the project would not permanently eliminate areas of SAV
either through avoidance or compensatory mitigation. The Service would welcome the
opportunity to review revised project plans.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to comment on this PN. Please advise us of any
action taken by the Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers. If you have questions
regarding these comments, please contact Howard Hall at 919-856-4520, ext. 27 or by e-
mail at < [e-mail] >.

The Corps will evaluate this application and a decide whether to issue, conditionally
issue, or deny the proposed work pursuant to applicable procedures of Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344) and Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act of 1899
(33USC 1344).
Location
There are two locations for the same type of project both located on Marine Corps Base-
Camp Lejeune, Onslow County, NC. Camp Lejeune is located east of the New River
bordered on the west by Hubert and to the north by Jacksonville. The Hospital Point
project is located near the end of River Rd., which can be accessed via Holcomb Road,
adjacent to Building H-1. The Hospital Point site is directly adjacent to the New River
and can be located at 34 40.45 N and 77 22.24 W.
The second area, known as the Brewster Scout Camp site, can be accessed via Holcomb
Blvd. to Brewster Blvd. and travel approximate y miles to the Creekfront. The
Brewster Scout Area is directly adjacent to Northeast Creek and can be located at 34
43.37 N and 77 23.41 W.
Existing Site Conditions
The Hospital Point area is situated between a shoreline stabilized with riprap and a stable
marsh (Spartiua Cynosuriodes) tributary to the New River. The Hospital Point shoreline
has experienced bank erosion above the normal water level which in turn has created as
much as a five foot high escarpment. The highground bank is vegetated with wax myrtle
(Myrica Cerifera) and young loblolly pines ( Pinurs Taeda). There are numerous old pine
stumps, which have been undercut still remaining being supported by old tap roots. Just
landward of the aforementioned stumps remains small pockets of Spartina Patens
residing at an elevation above the normal water level. Offshore and below the normal
water level remains old riprap comprised of old brick, cinder blocks, and other masonry
debris. The shoreline substrate is sandy with a thin lense of mud. The western adjacent
shoreline, stabilized with marl, concrete, and other debris, appears fairly stable. The
eastern adjacent shoreline does not appear to have any unexpected erosion. The erosion
along the project area appears to be generated from storm events and high water
conditions exacerbated by the fetch across the New River.
The Brewster Scout Camp site is an area along Northeast Creek experiencing erosion at
the toe of the bank. The bank at this location drops from an elevation of 15'-20' to the
normal water level in a matter of 15 linear feet at a 1:1 slope. The point of erosion is at
the toe of the bank creating an approximate 3' escarpment. The escarpment varies from
10' above the normal water level to the existing water level. The Scout Camp shoreline
contains riprap along the extreme eastern shore while the remainder of the shoreline has
no stabilization measures. There are two places where the shoreline is recolonizing with
marsh (Juncos Roemariauus) however this marsh is not widespread likely caused by the
accretion of sand noted during the December 2004 site visit. The steep bank is vegetated
with loblolly pines (Pines Taeda) and other low shrubs and grasses. Offshore from the
toe of the bank are relic pines and bald cypress (Taxodhun Distichuni). There are several
trees that have fallen into the Creek and remain in place.
Applicant's Stated Purpose
The applicants stated purpose and need for the project is shoreline stabilization of both
sites. The Base is exploring alternatives to traditional shoreline stabilization.
Project Description
Both project locations are proposed to be stabilized in the similar manners with varying
lengths. The Hospital Points site would stabilize a total of 392' of shoreline with the
proposed granite riprap sill structures. The Hospital Pointe shoreline would be armored
with four sill sections 55', 90', 90', and 105' measured toe of rock to toe of rock. These
sections would be 10' wide measured toe to toe. The sills are proposed offshore
anywhere from 10' to 20' depending on the breaks in shoreline on the New River. The
2
sill structures would have three openings 20' wide with a 12" mat of oyster shell on the
landward side of the openings. The plans call for the sill structure to be built to an
elevation of 3.5' compared to the normal water level in the area at elevation 1.7. The sill
would be backfilled to 2.5' with sand from an on base borrow area. The sand backfill
would be sprigged with Spartina Alterniflora on 18" centers.
The Brewster Scout Camp along North East Creek is proposed to be stabilized with a
total of 1,018 linear feet of a detached granite riprap sill. The six sections of the
proposed sill are 100', 140', 150', 155', 70', and 100' measured toe to toe. These
sections also would be 10' wide. The sills are proposed to be placed on average 10'
offshore from the normal water level along Northeast Creek. Where not separated by
marsh the sills will be set 20' apart to allow for water circulation with the outer opening
further stabilized by a 12" thick mat of oyster shell. According to plans the sills will be
built to a height of 3.0' with a surrounding water level at elevation 1.7'. The sill is
proposed to be backfilled to a height of 2.5' with sand obtained from the French Creek
Borrow Pit on Base. The plans further call for the backfill to be sprigged with Spartina
Alterniflora at 18" on center.
Both sill structures will be marked with 4' X 4' treated posts displaying 3" reflectors on
the offshore side of the sill structures. The posts would be placed approximately 45'
apart depending on sill openings. During the construction both sites are proposed to be
encompassed by turbidity curtain to control sediment upsets.
Other Required Authorizations
This notice and all applicable application materials are being forwarded to the appropriate
State agencies for review. The Corps will generally not make a final permit decision
until the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) issues, denies, or waives
State certification required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (PL 92-500). The
receipt of the application and this public notice in the NCDWQ Central Office in Raleigh
serves as application to the NCDWQ for certification. A waiver will be deemed to occur
if the NCDWQ fails to act on this request for certification within sixty days of the date of
the receipt of this notice in the NCDWQ Central Office. Additional information
regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed at the NCDWQ Central
Office, 401 Oversight and Express Permits Unit, 2321 Crabtree Boulevard, Raleigh,
North Carolina 27604-2260. All persons desiring to make comments regarding the
application for certification under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act should do so in
writing delivered to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ), 1650 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1650 Attention: Mr. John Hennessy (NC
Department of Transportation projects) or Ms Cyndi Karoly (all other projects) by
February 23, 2005.
The applicant has certified that the proposed work complies with and will be conducted
in a manner that is consistent with the approved North Carolina Coastal Zone
Management Program. Pursuant to 33 CFR 325.2 (b)(2) the Corps is, by this notice,
forwarding this certification to the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management
(NCDCM) and requesting its concurrence or objection. Generally, the Corps will not
issue a Department of the Army (DA) permit until the NCDCM notifies the Corps that it
concurs with the applicant's consistency certification.
Essential Fish Habitat
This notice initiates the Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) consultation requirements of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. The Corps' initial
determination is that the proposed project may adversely impact EFH or associated
fisheries managed by the South Atlantic or Mid Atlantic Fishery Management Councils
or the National Marine Fisheries Service. The two projects collectively will impact over
14,000 ftz of shallow water habitat.
Cultural Resources
The Corps has consulted the latest published version of the National Register of Historic
Places and is not aware that any registered properties, or properties listed as being
eligible for inclusion therein are located within the project area or will be affected by the
proposed work. Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistoric, or historical
data may be located within the project area and/or could be affected by the proposed
work.
Endangered Species
The Corps has reviewed the project area, examined all information provided by the
applicant and consulted the latest North Carolina Natural Heritage Database. Based on
available information, the Corps has determined pursuant to the Endangered Species Act
of 1973, that the proposed project will have no effect on federally listed endangered or
threatened species or their formally designated critical habitat.
Evaluation
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable
impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity on the public interest.
That decision will reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization of
important resources. The benefit which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the
proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. All factors
which may be relevant to the proposal will be considered including the cumulative effects
thereof; among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general environmental
concerns, wetlands, historic properties, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards, flood plain
values (in accordance with Executive Order 11988), land use, navigation, shoreline
erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy
needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of property
ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving
the discharge of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, the evaluation of
4
the impact of the activity on the public interest will include application of the
Environmental Protection Agency's 404(b)(1) guidelines.
Commenting Information
The Corps is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State and local agencies and
officials; Indian Tribes and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate the
impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the
Corps to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal.
To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species,
historic properties, water quality, general environmental effects and the other public
interest factors listed above. Comments are used in the preparation of an Environmental
Assessment (EA) and/or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Comments are also used to determine the
need for a public hearing and to determine the overall public interest of the proposed
activity.
Any person may request, in writing, within the comment period specified in this notice,
that a public hearing be held to consider the application. Requests for public hearings
shall state, with particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing. Requests for a
public hearing shall be granted, unless the District Engineer determines that the issues
raised are insubstantial or there is otherwise no valid interest to be served by a hearing.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received
by the Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District, until 5pm, March 2, 2005. Comments
should be submitted to Brad Shaver, Regulatory Specialist at 910-251-4611.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION
SHORELINE STABILIZATION BASEWIDE - PART 1
BREWSTER SCOUT CAMP
CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT N62470-02-B-3455.
I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
THIS PROJECT ENTAILS THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 1,018 FOOT LONG DETACHED
RIP-RAP SILL IN THE BREWSTER SCOUT CAMP AREA OF MARINE CORP BASE,
CAMP LEJEUNE, ONSLOW COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. THE SHORELINE TO BE
PROTECTED IS LOCATED IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO AN EXISTING SCOUT
CAMP AREA. THE SHORELINE IN THIS AREA HAS EXPERIENCED EXCESSIVE
EROSION IN THE PAST. A PORTION OF THE SHORELINE IN THE AREA OF A SCOUT
HUT/BUILDING HAS BEEN STABILIZED WITH RIP-RAP.
IT IS THE DESIRE OF MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE TO INSTALL A
DETACHED RIP-RAP SILL AS A METHOD OF SHORELINE STABILIZATION IN THIS
GENERAL AREA. SPECIFICALLY, IT IS PROPOSED THAT A GRANITE RIP-RAP. SILL
BE INSTALLED APPROXIMATELY 10 FEET OFFSHORE OF THE MEAN HIGH WATER
LINE. THE-GRANITE SILL WILL BE BACKFILLED WITH A SANDY SOIL MATERIAL
OBTAINED FROM,THE. FRENCH. CREEK BORROW PIT AT MCB CAME LEJEUNE TO
AN ELEVATION OF APPROXIMATELY I FOOT ABOVE-THE MEAN: HIGRWATER
LEVEL.. THE FILLED AREA WILL BE VEGETATED WITH SMOOTH CORD GRASS
(SPARTINA ALTERNIFLORA). GRASS SPRIGS WILL BE INSTALLED AT 18 INCHES
ON CENTER BEHIND THE DETACHED RIP-RAP SILL. IT IS PROPOSED THAT
OPENINGS, 20' FOOT WIDE, BE CONSTRUCTED IN THE DETACHED SILL AS SHOWN
ON THE PROJECT PLANS.
ADDITIONALLY, SMALL PODS OF SPARTINA ALTERNIFLORA HAVE ESTABLISHED
THEMSELVES NATURALLY ALONG THIS SECTION OF SHORELINE. THESE AREAS
ARE DELINEATED ON THE PROJECT PLANS. IT IS PROPOSED THAT ALL EXISTING
VEGETATION ALONG THE SHORELINE BE LEFT IN TACT.
THE ELEVATION OF THE FILL MATERIAL BEHIND THE DETACHED RIP-RAP SILL
WAS ESTABLISHED BASED UPON A SURVEY OF ELEVATIONS IN THE GENERAL
AREA WHERE SPARTINA ALTERNIFLORA HAS NATURALLY ESTABLISHED ITSELF.
THE-TOR OF SOIL- ELEVATIONDE 2.2FEET-SHOULD ALLOW FOR A FULLY
SATURATED SOIL CONDITION- DURING NORMAL_WATEIULEVELS.
II. CONSTRUCTION METHODS
ALL CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS ISSUED BY MARINE CORPS BASE, CAMP
LEJEUNE ARE ISSUED ON A COMPETITIVE BASIS. THE CONTRACTOR IS ALLOWED
TO UTILIZE HIS DISCRETION IN DEVELOPING A WORK PLAN FOR EACH PROJECT
AND TO DEVELOP A PROPOSED COURSE OF ACTION TO EXECUTE THE PROJECT.
THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE DETACHED RIP RAP SILL WILL LIKELY BE
COMPLETED FROM THE WATER. THE UPLAND AREAS LOCATED ADJACENT TO
THE PROJECT SHORELINE AREA ARE COVERED WITH MATURE TIMBER
VEGETATION THAT IS TO REMAIN. DUE TO THE SHALLOW NATURE OF THE
WATER IN THE PROJECT AREA, IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT RIP RAP MATERIAL WILL
BE TRANSPORTED TO THE PROJECT SITE ON SMALL BARGES. HAND LABOR WILL
BE UTILIZED TO PLACE THE GEO-TEXTILE AND GEO-GRID FABRICS. A TRACK
HOE OR EXCAVATOR WILL BE UTILIZED TO PLACE THE RIP RAP MATERIAL.
ADDITIONALLY, A TRACK HOE WILL BE UTILIZED TO PLACE SELECT BACKFILL
MATERIAL LANDWARD OF THE DETACHED RIP RAP SILL. THE FINAL GRADING
AND VEGETATING OF THE FILL MATERIAL WILL BE COMPLETED BY HAND
LABOR.
EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL DEVICES ARE PROPOSED TO BE
UTILIZED DURING THE COURSE OF CONSTRUCTION TO PREVENT EROSION AND
OFF-SITE TRANSPORT OF SEDIMENT. AS INDICATED ON THE PROJECT PLANS A
TURBIDITY CURTAIN WILL BE INSTALLED AROUND THE PROJECT BOUNDARY
WATERWARD OF THE PROPOSED DETACHED SILL. THE TURBIDITY CURTAIN
WILL BE MAINTAIN FOR THE ENTIRE DURATION OF THE PROJECT.
_ ADDITIONALLY, ALL UPLAND AREAS DISTURBED AS A RESULT OF THE
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION WILL BE RE-ESTABLISHED WITH VEGETATION IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE VEGETATIVE SEEDING SCHEDULE PRESENTED ON THE
PROJECT PLANS. FILTER FABRICS ARE PROPOSED TO BE PLACED ON THE
DETACHED RIP RAP SILL TO RETAIN THE SELECT FILL MATERIAL. ALL CREATED
WETLAND AREAS FILL WILL BE SPRIGGED WITH SMOOTH CORD GRASS
(SPARTINA ALTERNIFLORA). THE PROPOSED EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION
CONTROL PRACTICES WILL PREVENT THE TRANSPORT OF SEDIMENT OFF-SITE.
THE TOTAL PROPOSED DISTURBED AREA THIS PROJECT IS LESS THAN ONE ACRE.
THEREFORE, NO EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL PERMIT IS REQUIRED
TO EXECUTE THE PROJECT.
III. ARCHEOLOGICAL RESOURCES
THE MARINE CORPS BASE, CAMP LEJEUNE MAINTAINS AN INVENTORY OF ALL
ARCHEOLOGICALLY SIGNIFICANT SITES ON MARINE CORPS BASE, CAMP
LEJEUNE. THE PROPOSED PROJECT BOUNDARIES ARE NOT LOCATED WITHIN
ANY KNOWN AREA OF ARCHEOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE.
IV. WETLAND IMPACTS
THE PROJECT PLAN DEPICTS THE LIMITS OF THE COASTAL WETLAND LINE ON
THE PROJECT SITE. THIS PROJECT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE PLACEMENT OF FILL
ON ANY AREAS ABOVE THE NORMAL WATER LEVEL THAT WERE IDENTIFIABLE
AS ADJACENT WETLAND AREAS. THE PROPOSED SELECT BACKFILL MATERIAL
BEHIND THE DETACHED SILL WILL BE PLACED TO AN ELEVATION
APPROXIMATELY EQUAL TO THE TOP OF THE ERODED BANK AS DEPICTED ON
THE PROJECT PLANS. AS DEPICTED ON THE PROJECT PLANS, NO DISTURBANCE
WILL OCCUR BETWEEN THE ERODED NORMAL LEVEL WATER BANK AND THE
UPGRADIENT TOP OF BLUFF LIMIT.
V. SUBAQUATIC VEGETATION
THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL IMPACT ANY SUBAQUATIC VEGETATION THAT
EXISTS WITHIN THE FOOTPRINT AREA OF THE DETACHED RIP RAP SILL AND
SELECT BACKFILL MATERIAL. IT IS PROPOSED THAT NONE OF THE EXISTING
VEGETATION BE EXCAVATED AS A PART OF THE PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION.
THE DETACHED RIP RAP SILL WILL BE PLACED ON THE EXISTING GRADE AND
THE SELECT BACKFILL MATERIAL WILL BE PLACED ON THE EXISTING GRADE.
ANY SUBAQUATIC VEGETATION THAT EXISTS WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THIS
FILLING WILL BE IMPACTED.
VI. WATER QUALITY
THE LONG TERM WATER QUALITY WITHIN THE GENERAL VICINITY OF THE
PROPOSED PROJECT WILL NOT BE IMPACTED ADVERSELY BY THE PROPOSED
CONSTRUCTION. THE SHORT TERM WATER QUALITY MAY BE IMPACTED TO A
LIMITED EXTENT BY THE PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION. EROSION AND
SEDIMENTATION CONTROL DEVICES WILL BE UTILIZED TO PREVENT
SEDIMENTATION AND EROSION FROM OCCURRING TO THE SURFACE WATERS.
IT IS PROPOSED THAT APPROXIMATELY 13,440 SQUARE FEET OF WETLAND
VEGETATION BE ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THE DETACHED RIP RAP SILL AND
MEAN HIGH WATER LEVEL. ONCE STABILIZED AND ALLOWED TO ESTABLISH,
THIS WETLAND VEGETATION WILL PROVIDE A FILTERING MECHANISM AND
HABITAT. ADDITIONALLY, THE DETACHED RIP RAP SILL AND WETLAND
VEGETATION WILL PREVENT SHORELINE EROSION FROM CONTINUING TO
OCCUR IN THIS AREA. THE LONG-TERM IMPACT ON THE SURFACE WATERS IN
THE PROJECT AREA ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE IMPROVED AS A RESULT OF THE
COMPLETION OF THIS PROJECT FROM THE PREVENTION OF SHORELINE EROSION
AND RELATING SEDIMENTATION.
VII. NAVIGABILITY - PUBLIC TRUST WATERS
THE COMPLETION OF THIS PROJECT WILL RESULT IN THE DISTURBANCE OF
APPROXIMATELY 30,000 SQUARE FOOT OF NAVIGATIBLE PUBLIC TRUST WATERS.
THESE WATERS WILL BE IMPACTED BY THE PLACEMENT OF THE DETACHED RIP
RAP SILL AND THE PLACEMENT OF BACKFILL MATERIAL TO CREATE WETLAND
AREAS.
VIII. CONSISTENCY WITH PERMIT 42-00
CAMA MAJOR PERMIT 42-00 WAS ISSUED TO THE NORTH CAROLINA COASTAL
FEDERATION ON MARCH 22, 2000. THE PERMIT WAS ISSUED AS A GENERAL
PERMIT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF 30 DETACHED SILL PROJECTS AT
UNDETERMINED LOCATIONS. THE DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY AND U.S. ARMY

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION
SHORELINE STABILIZATION BASEWIDE - PART 1
HOSPITAL POINT
CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT N62470-01-B-2142
1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
THIS PROJECT ENTAILS THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 392 FOOT LONG DETACHED
RIP-RAP SILL IN THE HOSPITAL POINT AREA OF MARINE CORP BASE, CAMP
LEJEUNE, ONSLOW COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. THE SHORELINE TO BE
PROTECTED IS LOCATED IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO AN EXISTING HELICOPTER
LANDING PAD. THE SHORELINE IN THIS AREA HAS EXPERIENCED EXCESSIVE
EROSION IN THE PAST. A PORTION OF THE SHORELINE IN THE AREA OF THE
ADJACENT ASPHALT PARKING LOT HAS BEEN STABILIZED WITH RIP-RAP.
IT IS THE DESIRE OF MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE TO INSTALL A
DETACHED RIP-RAP SILL AS A METHOD OF SHORELINE STABILIZATION IN THIS
GENERAL AREA. SPECIFICALLY, IT IS PROPOSED THAT A GRANITE RIP-RAP SILL
BE INSTALLED APPROXIMATELY 10 FEET OFFSHORE OF THE MEAN HIGH WATER
LINE. THE GRANITE SILL WILL BE BACKFILLED WITH A SANDY SOIL MATERIAL
OBTAINED FROM THE FRENCH CREEK BORROW PIT AT MCB CAMP LEJEUNE TO
AN ELEVATION OF APPROXIMATELY 1 FOOT ABOVE THE MEAN HIGH WATER
LEVEL. THE FILLED AREA WILL BE VEGETATED WITH SMOOTH CORD GRASS
(SPARTINA ALTERNIFLORA). GRASS SPRIGS WILL BE INSTALLED AT 18 INCHES
ON CENTER BEHIND THE DETACHED RIP-RAP SILL. IT IS PROPOSED THAT THREE
OPENINGS, 20' FOOT WIDE, BE CONSTRUCTED IN THE DETACHED SILL AS SHOWN
ON THE PROJECT PLANS.
SMALL QUANTITIES OF RIP RAP AND CONCRETE RUBBLE HAVE BEEN PLACED
ALONG SECTIONS OF THIS SHORELINE OVER TIME. ADDITIONALLY, SMALL PODS
OF SPARTINA ALTERNIFLORA HAVE ESTABLISHED THEMSELVES NATURALLY
ALONG THIS SECTION OF SHORELINE. THESE AREAS ARE DELINEATED ON THE
PROJECT PLANS. IT IS PROPOSED THAT ALL EXISTING VEGETATION AND RUBBLE
ALONG THE SHORELINE BE LEFT IN TACT.
A SMALL STREAM FLOWS FROM AN EXISTING MARSH AREA ON THE EASTERN
END OF THE PROJECT SITE. THE DETACHED RIP RAP SILL WILL BE ENDED
APPROXIMATELY 24 FEET SHORT OF THE EDGE OF THIS EXISTING STREAM TO
ALLOW FOR THE NATURAL PASSAGE OF WATER TO AND FROM THIS MARSH
AREA.
THE ELEVATION OF THE FILL MATERIAL BEHIND THE DETACHED RIP-RAP SILL
WAS ESTABLISHED BASED UPON A SURVEY OF ELEVATIONS IN THE GENERAL
AREA WHERE SPARTINA ALTERNIFLORA HAS NATURALLY ESTABLISHED ITSELF.
THE TOP OF SOIL ELEVATION OF 2.5 FEET SHOULD ALLOW FOR A FULLY
SATURATED SOIL CONDITION DURING NORMAL WATER LEVELS.
II. CONSTRUCTION METHODS
ALL CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS ISSUED BY MARINE CORPS BASE, CAMP
LEJEUNE ARE ISSUED ON A COMPETITIVE BASIS. THE CONTRACTOR IS ALLOWED
TO UTILIZE HIS DISCRETION IN DEVELOPING A WORK PLAN FOR EACH PROJECT
AND TO DEVELOP A PROPOSED COURSE OF ACTION TO EXECUTE THE PROJECT.
THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE DETACHED RIP RAP SILL WILL LIKELY BE
COMPLETED FROM THE UPLAND AREAS LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE PROJECT
SHORELINE AREA. DUE TO THE SHALLOW NATURE OF THE WATER IN THE
PROJECT AREA, IT IS NOT ANTICIPATED THAT RIP RAP MATERIAL WILL BE
BARGED TO THE PROJECT SITE.
IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT THE RIP RAP MATERIAL WILL BE TRUCKED TO THE SITE
AND PLACED FROM THE UPLAND BANK AREAS ON THE SITE. HAND LABOR WILL
BE UTILIZED TO PLACE THE GEO-TEXTILE AND GEO-GRID FABRICS. A TRACK
HOE OR EXCAVATOR WILL BE UTILIZED TO PLACE THE RIP RAP MATERIAL.
ADDITIONALLY, A TRACK HOE WILL BE UTILIZED TO PLACE SELECT BACKFILL
MATERIAL LANDWARD OF THE DETACHED RIP RAP SILL. THE FINAL GRADING
AND VEGETATING OF THE FILL MATERIAL WILL BE COMPLETED BY HAND
LABOR.
EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL DEVICES ARE PROPOSED TO BE
UTILIZED DURING THE COURSE OF CONSTRUCTION TO PREVENT EROSION AND
OFF-SITE TRANSPORT OF SEDIMENT. AS INDICATED ON THE PROJECT PLANS A
TURBIDITY CURTAIN WILL BE INSTALLED AROUND THE PROJECT BOUNDARY
WATERWARD OF THE PROPOSED DETACHED SILL. THE TURBIDITY CURTAIN
WILL BE MAINTAIN FOR THE ENTIRE DURATION OF THE PROJECT.
ADDITIONALLY, ALL UPLAND AREAS DISTURBED AS A RESULT OF THE
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION WILL BE RE-ESTABLISHED WITH VEGETATION IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE VEGETATIVE SEEDING SCHEDULE PRESENTED ON THE
PROJECT PLANS. FILTER FABRICS ARE PROPOSED TO BE PLACED ON THE
DETACHED RIP RAP SILL TO RETAIN THE SELECT FILL MATERIAL. ALL. CREATED
WETLAND AREAS FILL WILL BE SPRIGGED WITH SMOOTH CORD GRASS
(SPARTINA ALTERNIFLORA). THE PROPOSED EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION
CONTROL PRACTICES WILL PREVENT THE TRANSPORT OF SEDIMENT OFF-SITE.
THE TOTAL PROPOSED DISTURBED AREA TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT IS LESS
THAN ONE ACRE. THEREFORE, NO EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL
PERMIT IS REQUIRED TO EXECUTE-THE PROJECT.
III. ARCHEOLOGICAL RESOURCES
THE MARINE CORPS BASE, CAMP LEJEUNE MAINTAINS AN INVENTORY OF ALL
ARCHEOLOGICALLY SIGNIFICANT SITES ON MARINE CORPS BASE, CAMP
LEJEUNE. THE PROPOSED PROJECT BOUNDARIES ARE NOT LOCATED WITHIN
ANY KNOWN AREA OF ARCHEOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE.
IV. WETLAND IMPACTS
THE PROJECT PLAN DEPICTS THE LIMITS OF THE COASTAL WETLAND LINE ON
THE PROJECT SITE. THIS PROJECT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE PLACEMENT OF FILL
ON ANY AREAS ABOVE THE NORMAL WATER LEVEL THAT WERE IDENTIFIABLE
AS ADJACENT WETLAND AREAS. THE PROPOSED SELECT BACKFILL MATERIAL
BEHIND THE DETACHED SILL WILL BE PLACED TO AN ELEVATION
APPROXIMATELY EQUAL TO THE TOP OF THE ERODED BANK AS DEPICTED ON
THE PROJECT PLANS. AS DEPICTED ON THE PROJECT PLANS, NO DISTURBANCE
WILL OCCUR BETWEEN THE ERODED NORMAL LEVEL WATER BANK AND THE
UPGRADIENT TOP OF BLUFF LIMIT.
V. SUBAQUATIC VEGETATION
THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL IMPACT ANY SUBAQUATIC VEGETATION THAT
EXISTS WITHIN THE FOOTPRINT AREA OF THE DETACHED RIP RAP SILL AND
SELECT BACKFILL MATERIAL. THE AREA WITHIN THE PROJECT BOUNDARY HAS
BEEN BACKFILLED ERRATICALLY OVER TIME WITH RIP RAP, CONCRETE RUBBLE,
BRICKS AND OTHER MATERIAL. IT IS PROPOSED THAT NONE OF THIS EXISTING
MATERIAL BE EXCAVATED AS A PART OF THE PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION. THE
DETACHED RIP RAP SILL WILL BE PLACED ON THE EXISTING GRADE AND THE
SELECT BACKFILL MATERIAL WILL BE PLACED ON THE EXISTING GRADE. ANY
SUBAQUATIC VEGETATION THAT EXISTS WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THIS FILLING
WILL BE IMPACTED.
VI. WATER QUALITY
THE LONG TERM WATER QUALITY WITHIN THE GENERAL VICINITY OF THE
PROPOSED PROJECT WILL NOT BE IMPACTED ADVERSELY BY THE PROPOSED
CONSTRUCTION. THE SHORT TERM WATER QUALITY MAY BE IMPACTED TO A
LIMITED EXTENT BY THE PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION. EROSION AND
SEDIMENTATION CONTROL DEVICES WILL BE UTILIZED TO PREVENT
SEDIMENTATION AND EROSION FROM OCCURRING TO THE SURFACE WATERS.
IT IS PROPOSED THAT APPROXIMATELY 6,000 SQUARE FEET OF WETLAND
VEGETATION BE ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THE DETACHED RIP RAP SILL AND
MEAN HIGH WATER LEVEL. ONCE STABILIZED AND ALLOWED TO ESTABLISH,
THIS WETLAND VEGETATION WILL PROVIDE A FILTERING MECHANISM AND
HABITAT. ADDITIONALLY, THE DETACHED RIP RAP SILL AND WETLAND
VEGETATION WILL PREVENT SHORELINE EROSION FROM CONTINUING TO
OCCUR IN THIS AREA. THE LONG-TERM IMPACT ON THE SURFACE WATERS IN
THE PROJECT AREA ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE IMPROVED AS A RESULT OF THE
COMPLETION OF THIS PROJECT FROM THE PREVENTION OF SHORELINE EROSION
AND RELATING SEDIMENTATION.
VII. NAVIGABILITY - PUBLIC TRUST WATERS
THE COMPLETION OF THIS PROJECT WILL RESULT IN THE DISTURBANCE OF
APPROXIMATELY 12,000 SQUARE FOOT OF NAVIGATIBLE PUBLIC TRUST WATERS.
THESE WATERS WILL BE IMPACTED BY THE PLACEMENT OF THE DETACHED RIP
RAP SILL AND THE PLACEMENT OF BACKFILL MATERIAL TO CREATE WETLAND
AREAS.
VIII. CONSISTENCY WITH PERI\HT 42-00
CAMA MAJOR PERMIT 42-00 WAS ISSUED TO THE NORTH CAROLINA COASTAL
FEDERATION ON MARCH 22, 2000. THE PERMIT WAS ISSUED AS A GENERAL
PERMIT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF 30 DETACHED SILL PROJECTS AT

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION
SHORELINE STABILIZATION BASEWIDE - PART 1
HOSPITAL POINT
CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT N62470-01-B-2142
1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
THIS PROJECT ENTAILS THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 392 FOOT LONG DETACHED
RIP-RAP SILL IN THE HOSPITAL POINT AREA OF MARINE CORP BASE, CAMP
LEJEUNE, ONSLOW COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. THE SHORELINE TO BE
PROTECTED IS LOCATED IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO AN EXISTING HELICOPTER
LANDING PAD. THE SHORELINE IN THIS AREA HAS EXPERIENCED EXCESSIVE
EROSION IN THE PAST. A PORTION OF THE SHORELINE IN THE AREA OF THE
ADJACENT ASPHALT PARKING LOT HAS BEEN STABILIZED WITH RIP-RAP.
IT IS THE DESIRE OF MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE TO INSTALL A
DETACHED RIP-RAP SILL AS A METHOD OF SHORELINE STABILIZATION IN THIS
GENERAL AREA. SPECIFICALLY, IT IS PROPOSED THAT A GRANITE RIP-RAP SILL
BE INSTALLED APPROXIMATELY 10 FEET OFFSHORE OF THE MEAN HIGH WATER
LINE. THE GRANITE SILL WILL BE BACKFILLED WITH A SANDY SOIL MATERIAL
OBTAINED FROM THE FRENCH CREEK BORROW PIT AT MCB CAMP LEJEUNE TO
AN ELEVATION OF APPROXIMATELY 1 FOOT ABOVE THE MEAN HIGH WATER
LEVEL. THE FILLED AREA WILL BE VEGETATED WITH SMOOTH CORD GRASS
(SPARTINA ALTERNIFLORA). GRASS SPRIGS WILL BE INSTALLED AT 18 INCHES
ON CENTER BEHIND THE DETACHED RIP-RAP SILL. IT IS PROPOSED THAT THREE
OPENINGS, 20' FOOT WIDE, BE CONSTRUCTED IN THE DETACHED SILL AS SHOWN
ON THE PROJECT PLANS.
SMALL QUANTITIES OF RIP RAP AND CONCRETE RUBBLE HAVE BEEN PLACED
ALONG SECTIONS OF THIS SHORELINE OVER TIME. ADDITIONALLY, SMALL PODS
OF SPARTINA ALTERNIFLORA HAVE ESTABLISHED THEMSELVES NATURALLY
ALONG THIS SECTION OF SHORELINE. THESE AREAS ARE DELINEATED ON THE
PROJECT PLANS. IT IS PROPOSED THAT ALL EXISTING VEGETATION AND RUBBLE
ALONG THE SHORELINE BE LEFT IN TACT.
A SMALL STREAM FLOWS FROM AN EXISTING MARSH AREA ON THE EASTERN
END OF THE PROJECT SITE. THE DETACHED RIP RAP SILL WILL BE ENDED
APPROXIMATELY 24 FEET SHORT OF THE EDGE OF THIS EXISTING STREAM TO
ALLOW FOR THE NATURAL PASSAGE OF WATER TO AND FROM THIS MARSH
AREA.
THE ELEVATION OF THE FILL MATERIAL BEHIND THE DETACHED RIP-RAP SILL
WAS ESTABLISHED BASED UPON A SURVEY OF ELEVATIONS IN THE GENERAL
AREA WHERE SPARTINA ALTERNIFLORA HAS NATURALLY ESTABLISHED ITSELF.
THE TOP OF SOIL ELEVATION OF 2.5 FEET SHOULD ALLOW FOR A FULLY
SATURATED SOIL CONDITION DURING NORMAL WATER LEVELS.
II. CONSTRUCTION METHODS
ALL CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS ISSUED BY MARINE CORPS BASE, CAMP
LEJEUNE ARE ISSUED ON A COMPETITIVE BASIS. THE CONTRACTOR IS ALLOWED
TO UTILIZE HIS DISCRETION IN DEVELOPING A WORK PLAN FOR EACH PROJECT
AND TO DEVELOP A PROPOSED COURSE OF ACTION TO EXECUTE THE PROJECT.
THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE DETACHED RIP RAP SILL WILL LIKELY BE
COMPLETED FROM THE UPLAND AREAS LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE PROJECT
SHORELINE AREA. DUE TO THE SHALLOW NATURE OF THE WATER IN THE
PROJECT AREA, IT IS NOT ANTICIPATED THAT RIP RAP MATERIAL WILL BE
BARGED TO THE PROJECT SITE.
IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT THE RIP RAP MATERIAL WILL BE TRUCKED TO THE SITE
AND PLACED FROM THE UPLAND BANK AREAS ON THE SITE. HAND LABOR WILL
BE UTILIZED TO PLACE THE GEO-TEXTILE AND GEO-GRID FABRICS. A TRACK
HOE OR EXCAVATOR WILL BE UTILIZED TO PLACE THE RIP RAP MATERIAL.
ADDITIONALLY, A TRACK HOE WILL BE UTILIZED TO PLACE SELECT BACKFILL
MATERIAL LANDWARD OF THE DETACHED RIP RAP SILL. THE FINAL GRADING
AND VEGETATING OF THE FILL MATERIAL WILL BE COMPLETED BY HAND
LABOR.
EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL DEVICES ARE PROPOSED TO BE
UTILIZED DURING THE COURSE OF CONSTRUCTION TO PREVENT EROSION AND
OFF-SITE TRANSPORT OF SEDIMENT. AS INDICATED ON THE PROJECT PLANS A
TURBIDITY CURTAIN WILL BE INSTALLED AROUND THE PROJECT BOUNDARY
WATERWARD OF THE PROPOSED DETACHED SILL. THE TURBIDITY CURTAIN
WILL BE MAINTAIN FOR THE ENTIRE DURATION OF THE PROJECT.
ADDITIONALLY, ALL UPLAND AREAS DISTURBED AS A RESULT OF THE
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION WILL BE RE-ESTABLISHED WITH VEGETATION IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE VEGETATIVE SEEDING SCHEDULE PRESENTED ON THE
PROJECT PLANS. FILTER FABRICS ARE PROPOSED TO BE PLACED ON THE
DETACHED RIP RAP SILL TO RETAIN THE SELECT FILL MATERIAL. ALL CREATED
WETLAND AREAS FILL WILL BE SPRIGGED WITH SMOOTH CORD GRASS
(SPARTINA ALTERNIFLORA). THE PROPOSED EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION
CONTROL PRACTICES WILL PREVENT THE TRANSPORT OF SEDIMENT OFF-SITE.
THE TOTAL PROPOSED DISTURBED AREA TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT IS LESS
THAN ONE ACRE. THEREFORE, NO EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL
PERMIT IS REQUIRED TO EXECUTE THE PROJECT.
III. ARCHEOLOGICAL RESOURCES
THE MARINE CORPS BASE, CAMP LEJEUNE MAINTAINS AN INVENTORY OF ALL
ARCHEOLOGICALLY SIGNIFICANT SITES ON MARINE CORPS BASE, CAMP
LEJEUNE. THE PROPOSED PROJECT BOUNDARIES ARE NOT LOCATED WITHIN
ANY KNOWN AREA OF ARCHEOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE.
IV. WETLAND IMPACTS
THE PROJECT PLAN DEPICTS THE LIMITS OF THE COASTAL WETLAND LINE ON
THE PROJECT SITE. THIS PROJECT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE PLACEMENT OF FILL
ON ANY AREAS ABOVE THE NORMAL WATER LEVEL THAT WERE IDENTIFIABLE
AS ADJACENT WETLAND AREAS. THE PROPOSED SELECT BACKFILL MATERIAL
BEHIND THE DETACHED SILL WILL BE PLACED TO AN ELEVATION
APPROXIMATELY EQUAL TO THE TOP OF THE ERODED BANK AS DEPICTED ON
THE PROJECT PLANS. AS DEPICTED ON THE PROJECT PLANS, NO DISTURBANCE
WILL OCCUR BETWEEN THE ERODED NORMAL LEVEL WATER BANK AND THE
UPGRADIENT TOP OF BLUFF LIMIT.
V. SUBAQUATIC VEGETATION
THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL IMPACT ANY SUBAQUATIC VEGETATION THAT
EXISTS WITHIN THE FOOTPRINT AREA OF THE DETACHED RIP RAP SILL AND
SELECT BACKFILL MATERIAL. THE AREA WITHIN THE PROJECT BOUNDARY HAS
BEEN BACKFILLED ERRATICALLY OVER TIME WITH RIP RAP, CONCRETE RUBBLE,
BRICKS AND OTHER MATERIAL. IT IS PROPOSED THAT NONE OF THIS EXISTING
MATERIAL BE EXCAVATED AS A PART OF THE PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION. THE
DETACHED RIP RAP SILL WILL BE PLACED ON THE EXISTING GRADE AND THE
SELECT BACKFILL MATERIAL WILL BE PLACED ON THE EXISTING GRADE. ANY
SUBAQUATIC VEGETATION THAT EXISTS WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THIS FILLING
WILL BE IMPACTED.
VI. WATER QUALITY
THE LONG TERM WATER QUALITY WITHIN THE GENERAL VICINITY OF THE
PROPOSED PROJECT WILL NOT BE IMPACTED ADVERSELY BY THE PROPOSED
CONSTRUCTION. THE SHORT TERM WATER QUALITY MAY BE IMPACTED TO A
LIMITED EXTENT BY THE PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION. EROSION AND
SEDIMENTATION CONTROL DEVICES WILL BE UTILIZED TO PREVENT
SEDIMENTATION AND EROSION FROM OCCURRING TO THE SURFACE WATERS.
IT IS PROPOSED THAT APPROXIMATELY 6,000 SQUARE FEET OF WETLAND
VEGETATION BE ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THE DETACHED RIP RAP SILL AND
MEAN HIGH WATER LEVEL. ONCE STABILIZED AND ALLOWED TO ESTABLISH,
THIS WETLAND VEGETATION WILL PROVIDE A FILTERING MECHANISM AND
HABITAT. ADDITIONALLY, THE DETACHED RIP RAP SILL AND WETLAND
VEGETATION WILL PREVENT SHORELINE EROSION FROM CONTINUING TO
OCCUR IN THIS AREA. THE LONG-TERM IMPACT ON THE SURFACE WATERS IN
THE PROJECT AREA ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE IMPROVED AS A RESULT OF THE
COMPLETION OF THIS PROJECT FROM THE PREVENTION OF SHORELINE EROSION
AND RELATING SEDIMENTATION.
VII. NAVIGABILITY - PUBLIC TRUST WATERS
THE COMPLETION OF THIS PROJECT WILL RESULT IN THE DISTURBANCE OF
APPROXIMATELY 12,000 SQUARE FOOT OF NAVIGATIBLE PUBLIC TRUST WATERS.
THESE WATERS WILL BE IMPACTED BY THE PLACEMENT OF THE DETACHED RIP
RAP SILL AND THE PLACEMENT OF BACKFILL MATERIAL TO CREATE WETLAND
AREAS.
VIII. CONSISTENCY WITH PERMIT 42-00
CAMA MAJOR PERMIT 42-00 WAS ISSUED TO THE NORTH CAROLINA COASTAL
FEDERATION ON MARCH 22, 2000. THE PERMIT WAS ISSUED AS A GENERAL
PERMIT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF 30 DETACHED SILL PROJECTS AT
UNDETERMINED LOCATIONS. THE DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY AND U.S. ARMY
CORPS OF ENGINEERS REVIEWED THE PROJECT AS WELL. THE CAMA PROJECT
CONTAINS 29 CONDITIONS RELATIVE TO THE PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION THAT
MUST BE COMPLIED WITH. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS PROVIDED TO
DEMONSTRATE GENERAL CONFORMANCE WITH THE CAMA MAJOR PERMIT
ISSUED FOR THESE SIMILAR PROJECTS. FOR CLARITY, ALL ITEMS ARE
ENUMERATED AS THEY APPEAR ON THIS CAMA PERMIT.
