8. PROJECT SUMMARY:
The applicant proposes to construct a 145-ft. long wooden bulkhead, 15 ft. wide by 40 ft. long boat
ramp, and pier with platform, boathouse, boatlift and two mooring pilings on his property located at
Lot 12 Goose Nest Lane, Harvey Neck Community, Perquimans Countyt and on the Albemarle
Sound.

PROJECT SETTING

The property is a 43,119 sq. ft. (0.99 acre) lot located at Lot 12 Goose Nest Lane (private), Harvey
Neck Community, off SR 1433 in Perquimans County and adjacent to Albemarle Sound. The property
has an elevation of approximately 7 ft. above normal water level (NWL) and has Roanoke soils.
Vegetation on the property consists of pine, live oak, and other indigenous trees and grasses. The
applicant has applied for a minor permit to clear the lot in preparation for the construction of a single-
family dwelling.

Adjacent property consists of similar size building lots. Both lots to the east and west have been
developed with single-family dwellings on them. Both adjacent lots are bulkheaded and the applicant's
property has experienced considerable erosion along the shoreline. The wing wall for the bulkhead on
the east side has been extended approximately 20 ft. landward and approximately 5 ft. into the applicant's
property to prevent further erosion, resulting in accelerated erosion on the applicant's lot. The property
on the west side has a functioning bulkhead that extends into the applicant's lot in the open water where
bulkhead remnants remain. The lack of a wing wall for this bulkhead resulted in an erosion escarpment
on the applicant's property and behind the bulkhead of the western riparian owner's property.

The water depth close to shore ranges from 1-2 ft. and gradually deepens to 5 ft. at waterward end of
pier. The waters of the Albemarle Sound in this area are classified as SB by the Division of
Environmental Management and are closed to shellfish harvesting.

DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL

In order to prevent further erosion, the applicant proposes to construct a 145 ft. long wooden
bulkhead to connect with the corner of the adjacent lots and have a straight alignment. The proposed
bulkhead alignment will have a maximum distance of 20 ft. from the shoreline and an average distance of
15 ft. Clean, dry fill will be used for backfill from an upland pit. The applicant proposes to use the wing
wall that the property owner to the east built on his property and install a 15 ft. wide by 40 ft. long
concrete boat ramp directly west of it. The applicant proposes to construct another wing wall bordering
the west side of the boat ramp to join into the proposed bulkhead. The applicant is requesting this
bulkhead alignment because trash and debris collect in the eroded area.

The applicant proposes to construct a 6 ft. wide pier with a 30 ft. by 20 ft. "T" head platform. The
total length of the pier structure will be 140 ft. The applicant proposes to construct a 12 ft. wide by 24
ft. long boathouse with boatlift. The applicant proposes to place two pilings east of the "T" in order to
create a 12 ft. by 20 ft. slip. With the addition of cleats, the applicant proposes to create 4 slips in total.
There are two 200 ft. long piers along the same shoreline, one is 200 feet east and the other is 300 feet
west of the applicant's property.

Melvin Cooper, Jr.
Field Investigation Report

-t

ANTICIPATED IMPACTS

The proposed bulkhead alignment with backfill and boat ramp will result in the filling of
approximately 2,550 sq. ft. of Public Trust Area (PTA) and Estuarine Waters (EW) Areas of
Environmental Concern (AECs). Approximately 101 cubic yards of fill material will be placed below
NWL for the backfill and boat ramp. To match grade, approximately 2,250 sq. ft. (100 cu. yds.) of f1l1
material will be placed in the upland Estuarine Shoreline (ES) AEC.

The proposed pier will shade 720 sq. ft., the "T" platform will shade 600 sq. ft., and the boathouse
with boatlift will shade 288 sq. ft. of PTA and EW AECs. There are no expected navigational impacts
due to the pier structure.

Temporary water turbidity will occur during construction. The use of a f1lter cloth behind the
bulkhead will minimize future erosion and turbidity.

Dear Mr. Cooper:

On January 1, 2005, we renewed general permit No. 198000291 (copy enclosed), which
provides Federal authorization for construction activities that receive authorization from the State
of North Carolina.

A review of your application received March 3, 2005, for Department of the Army
authorization to construct a boatramp, pier, boathouse, and boatlift, on property located off State
Road 1433, in the Harvey Neck Community, adjacent to the Albemarle Sound, in Perquimans
County, North Carolina, indicates it to be a candidate for Federal authorization under this general
permit. Accordingly, the administrative processing of your application will be accomplished by
the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management. Comments from Federal review agencies
will be furnished to the State.

If your application must be withdrawn from this general permit process for any reason,
you will be informed regarding its further management. If there are no unresolved differences in
State-Federal positions or policies, the final action taken on your application by the State will
result in your receiving written notice from us that your application is consistent with the general
permit and you may commence your activity. Only after receiving such confirmation should you
begin work.

Dear Ms. Karoly:

Please reference the application of Melvin Cooper for Department of the Army
authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to construct a pier, boatramp, boathouse,
and boatlift, on property located off State Road 1433, in the Harvey Neck Community, adjacent
to the Albemarle Sound, in Perquimans 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.

Weare 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 oftime, by May 13, 2005, the District Engineer will deem
that waiver has: occurred.

Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Raleigh Bland, Washington Regulatory
Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone], extension 23.
