You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions (WQC # 3400) to conduct the
following activity located on your property on Lot 1 & 2, Block 14-R, North Shore Drive in Sunset
Beach, in Brunswick County. This approval allows you to:
1. Build 58 linear feet of bulkhead along the two canal front lots.
2. Fill 590 Square feet of vegetated wetlands and open water (shallow bottom habitat).
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your CAMA Major
application received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Wilmington regional Office (WiRO) on
September 13, 2005. After reviewing your application, we have determined that General Water Quality
Certification Number 3400 covers this activity. This Certification can also be found on line at:
http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/nc*wet]ands/cei-ts.htm]. This Certification allows you to use your CAMA Permit
when the NC Division of Coastal Management issues it. Please keep in mind that there may be additional
Federal, State or Local regulations applicable to your project, such as (but not limited to) Sediment and
Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations, NPDES and Coastal
Stormwater. In addition, this approval will expire when the accompanying LAMA Permit expires
unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
Please be aware that if you change or modify your project, you must notify the Division
(DWQ) in writing and you may be required to send us a new application for a new certification. If the
property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and approval letter and is
thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the
future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506
(h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification
and the additional conditions listed below and on the following page:
1. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas
beyond the footprint of the impacts depicted in the Pre-construction Notice Application. All
construction activities, including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of
sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices, shall be performed so that no
violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur.

9. PROJE, CT DESCRIPTION
The project site consists of two canal front lots (Lots 1 and 2, Block 14R, North Shore Drive) located
at the intersection of Cobia Street and North Shore Drive, adjacent to a man-made canal which is
tributary to rinks Creek, within the Town of Sunset Beach, in Brunswick County. Directions from
the Sunset Beach bridge are as follows: turn left immediately after crossing the bridge and causeway
onto North Shore .Drive; follow North Shore Drive to 6th Street; turn right onto 6th Street and
continue to Canal Drive; turn left onto Canal Drive and proceed east to Cobia Street; turn left onto
Cobia Street and proceed to North Shore Drive (on right). The subject lots are located at the
intersection of Cobia Street and North Shore Drive and are the first two lots on the left (canal side) of
Cobia Street.
The two canal front lots each measure approximately 50 feet in width by approximately 100 feet in
depth. The combined shoreline length for the two lots is approximately 101 feet. The elevation of
the high ground area of the lots averages approximately 4,5 feet above mean sea level (MSL). High
ground vegetation consists primarily of native dune and lawn grasses. Existing structures on the lots
consist of the following: two Purflow septic systems installed just landward of the 75' Estuarine
Shoreline Area of Environmental Concern (AEC); an existing wooden bulkhead which extends
approximately 40 feet along the northwestern side of Lot 1; and a portion of an existing vinyl
bulkhead that extends approximately two feet onto Lot 2 from the adjacent lot to the east (Lot 3). The
bulkhead on Lot 3 was authorized under CAMA Major Permit No. 35-00, issued to Edward M. and
Dina E. Gore on March 8, 2000. This permit authorized the construction of a bulkhead and
associated baekfill along hots 1-29 North Shore Drive. The bulkhead construction along Lots 3-29
has been completed. The bulkhead along Lots 1 and 2 was not completed under Permit No. 35-00
due to the fact that the lots are now under separate ownership and due the location of the coastal
wetland line on the property.
Near the property shoreline, along the common property line of Lots 1 and 2, is an area of erosion
that appears to be the result of surface water runoff from the adjacent public road and the scouring
effect of boat wakes and currents on the return wall end section of the existing bulkhead located on
Lot 1. This area of erosion measures approximately 12 feet in width by approximately 25 feet in
length and extends to the edge of the man-made canal. Due to the elevation, the eroded area is now
vegetated with mixed coastal wetland species consisting primarily of Sea Lavender (Lilnoniwn
carolinianuna) and Salt Meadow Grass (Spartina patens) in the upper portion (approximately 300
square feet) and Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) in the lower portion adjacent to the canal
(approximately 50 square feet). Other marsh species present in this eroded area include Sea Blite
(Suaeda linearis), and Sea Ox-eye (Borrichia frutescens). Along the remaining 58 feet of unstabilized
shoreline there is a 2-4 foot wide border of Spartina patens transitioning to a 5-10 foot wide border of
Spartina alterniflora, The remaining bulkheaded shoreline along Lot 1 and along the Cobia Street
Right-of-Way is void of wetland vegetation. The normal high water line (NMV) in this area
approximates the alignment of the adjacent bulkheads, however, it does extend landward along the
return wall end section on the east end of the existing bulkhead on Lot 1, to a point approximately
even with the end of the return wall, following the deeper area of the washout scour.

A portion of this coastal wetland area (approximately 200 sq. ft.) was filled by the applicant during
the grading of the site for the installation of the above mentioned sgptic systems. A Notice of
Violation (DCM Case No. 05-10D) was issued to Mr. Singleton on February 22, 2005, for this filling
activity. The Notice of Violation required Mr, Singleton to remove the fill material from the wetland
area. The fill material was removed by Mr, Singleton and the area was stabilized with erosion control
matting.
The waters of the man-made canal are classified SA by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality;
The area is not designated as a Primary Nursery Area by the North Carolina Marine Fisheries
Commission and it is closed to the harvesting of shellfish.
PROPOSED PROJECT
The applicant is proposing to bulkhead the remaining unstabilized shoreline of Lots 1 and 2. The
bulkhead would be constructed of wood, vinyl or metal sheets and would run in straight line for
approximately 58 limar feet between the adjacent vinyl bulkhead on Lot 3 and the waterward side of
the existing bulkhead on Lot 1, This alignment would incorporate the coastal wetlands in the eroded
area mentioned above, as well as, additional coastal wetlands (primarily Spartina patens) along the
remainder of the alignment. The bulkhead would average approximately 3 feet landward of the NHW
line for the eastern most 40 feet. From this point westward (the remaining 18 linear feet), the
bulkhead would be located waterward of the NHW line. In this area the bulkhead would average
approximately 5 feet waterward of NHW. At its connection point with the existing bulkhead on Lot 1,
the new bulkhead would be approximately 8.5 feet waterward of the NHW line for a distance of
approximately 2-3 linear feet. The applicant estimates that approximately 7 cubic yards of backfill
material would be placed below the NHW line.
10. ANTICIPATED PACTS
The proposed bulkhead construction with associated backfill and tie back/anchor system would result
in the incorporation of approximately 460 square feet of coastal wetlands and the disturbance of
approximately 1,000 square feet of high ground. Approximately 50 square feet of the coastal wetlands
to be impacted is vegetated with Spartina alterniflora. The bulkhead backfill would also result in the
filling of approximately 180 sq. ft. of Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area.

8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to construct approximately 58 linear feet of
bulkhead along two canal front lots.
Mr. Gary Singleton
September 8, 2005
Page 2
9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site consists of two canal front lots (Lots 1 and 2, Block 14R, North Shore Drive) located
at the intersection of Cobia Street and North Shore Drive, adjacent to a man-made canal which is
tributary to Jinks Creek, within the Town of Sunset Beach, in Brunswick County. Directions from
the Sunset Beach bridge are as follows: turn left immediately after crossing the bridge and causeway
onto North Shore Drive; follow North Shore Drive to 6th Street; turn right onto 6th Street and
continue to Canal Drive; turn left onto Canal Drive and proceed east to Cobia Street; turn left onto
Cobia Street and proceed to North Shore Drive (on right). The subject lots are located at the
intersection of Cobia Street and North Shore Drive and are the first two lots on the left (canal side) of
Cobia Street.
The two canal front lots each measure approximately 50 feet in width by approximately 100 feet in
depth. The combined shoreline length for the two lots is approximately 101 feet. The elevation of
the high ground area of the lots averages approximately 4.5 feet above mean sea level (MSL). High
ground vegetation consists primarily of native dune and lawn grasses. Existing structures on the lots
consist of the following: two Purflow septic systems installed just landward of the 75' Estuarine
Shoreline Area of Environmental Concern (AEC); an existing wooden bulkhead which extends
approximately 40 feet along the northwestern side of Lot 1; and a portion of an existing vinyl
bulkhead that extends approximately two feet onto Lot 2 from the adjacent lot to the east (Lot 3). The
bulkhead on Lot 3 was authorized under CAMA Major Permit No. 35-00, issued to Edward M. and
Dina E. Gore on March 8, 2000. This permit authorized the construction of a bulkhead and
associated backfill along Lots 1-29 North Shore Drive. The bulkhead construction along Lots 3-29
has been completed. The bulkhead along Lots 1 and 2 was not completed under Permit No. 35-00
due to the fact that the lots are now under separate ownership and due the location of the coastal
wetland line on the property.
Near the property shoreline, along the common property line of Lots 1 and 2, is an area of erosion
that appears to be the result of surface water runoff from the adjacent public road and the scouring
effect of boat wakes and currents on the return wall end section of the existing bulkhead located on
Lot 1. This area of erosion measures approximately 12 feet in width by approximately 25 feet in
length and extends to the edge of the man-made canal. Due to the elevation, the eroded area is now
vegetated with mixed coastal wetland species consisting primarily of Sea Lavender (Limoniunt
carolinianum) and Salt Meadow Grass (Spartina patens) in the upper portion (approximately 300
square feet) and Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina altendflora) in the lower portion adjacent to the canal
(approximately 50 square feet). Other marsh species present in this eroded area include Sea Blite
(Suaeda linearis), and Sea Ox-eye (Borrichia frutescens). Along the remaining 58 feet of unstabilized
shoreline there is a 2-4 foot wide border of Spartina patens transitioning to a 5-10 foot wide border of
Spartina alterniflora. The remaining bulkheaded shoreline along Lot 1 and along the Cobia Street
Right-of-Way is void of wetland vegetation. The normal high water line (NHW) in this area
approximates the alignment of the adjacent bulkheads, however, it does extend landward along the
return wall end section on the east end of the existing bulkhead on Lot 1, to a point approximately
even with the end of the return wall, following the deeper area of the washout scour.
Mr. Gary Singleton
September 8, 2005
Page 2
A portion of this coastal wetland area (approximately 200 sq. ft.) was filled by the applicant during
the grading of the site for the installation of the above mentioned septic systems. A Notice of
Violation (DCM Case No. 05-10D) was issued to Mr. Singleton on February 22, 2005, for this filling
activity. The Notice of Violation required Mr. Singleton to remove the fill material from the wetland
area. The fill material was removed by Mr. Singleton and the area was stabilized with erosion control
matting.
The waters of the man-made canal are classified SA by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality.
The area is not designated as a Primary Nursery Area by the North Carolina Marine Fisheries
Commission and it is closed to the harvesting of shellfish.
PROPOSED PROJECT
The applicant is proposing to bulkhead the remaining unstabilized shoreline of Lots 1 and 2. The
bulkhead would be constructed of wood, vinyl or metal sheets and would run in straight line for
approximately 58 linear feet between the adjacent vinyl bulkhead on Lot 3 and the waterward side of
the existing bulkhead on Lot 1. This alignment would incorporate the coastal wetlands in the eroded
area mentioned above, as well as, additional coastal wetlands (primarily Spartina patens) along the
remainder of the alignment. The bulkhead would average approximately 3 feet landward of the NHW
line for the eastern most 40 feet. From this point westward (the remaining 18 linear feet), the
bulkhead would be located waterward of the NHW line. In this area the bulkhead would average
approximately 5 feet waterward of NHW. At its connection point with the existing bulkhead on Lot 1,
the new bulkhead would be approximately 8.5 feet waterward of the NHW line for a distance of
approximately 2-3 linear feet. The applicant estimates that approximately 7 cubic yards of backfill
material would be placed below the NHW line.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The proposed bulkhead construction with associated backfill and tie back/anchor system would result
in the incorporation of approximately 460 square feet of coastal wetlands and the disturbance of
approximately 1,000 square feet of high ground. Approximately 50 square feet of the coastal wetlands
to be impacted is vegetated with Spartina altendflora. The bulkhead backfill would also result in the
filling of approximately 180 sq. ft. of Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area.

Subject: Action ID #200501227, Gary Singleton, Sunset Beach, Brunswick County, NC
Dear Mr. Wicker:
This letter provides the comments of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) on the subject
Public Notice (PN), dated September 30, 2005. The applicant, Gary Singleton, has applied for a
Department of the Army (DA) permit to construct a bulkhead along two, canal-front lots. The
proposed work is being considered under Regional General Permit #198000291, a permit/processing
agreement for work that has been approved pursuant to the North Carolina Coastal Area Management
Act (CAMA). 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).
Project Area, Proposed Actions, and Anticipated Impacts
The project area, proposed work, and anticipated impacts are described the Field Investigation Report
(FIR), dated September 8, 2005, of the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM).
The project site is on the landward side of the barrier island occupied by the Town of Sunset Beach.
The site, consisting of two lots, is adjacent to a man-made canal which is a tributary to Jinks Creek.
The two lots have a combined shoreline length of 101 feet. There are existing bulkheads extending
into the project site from the east and west for a total of approximately 42 feet. These bulkheads are
approximately aligned with the normal high water (NHW) line. The central section of the project
does not have a bulkhead and an area of erosion (washout scour) exists at the boundary between the
lots. The erosion area has been colonized by marsh vegetation.
The applicant proposes to construct a bulkhead along 58 linear feet of unstabilized shoreline between
the existing bulkheads. The bulkhead would incorporate wetlands within the washout scour.
Approximately seven cubic yards of fill material would be placed below the NHW line. The FIR
states that the work would fill approximately 460 square feet (ft) of coastal wetlands, including 50
ft- of smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora). The project would also fill estuarine waters, given
variously as 130 ft2 or 180 ftz.

Federally Protected Species
The Service has reviewed available information on federally-threatened or endangered species
known to occur in Brunswick 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 Shallotte quad. The occurrence data of special status species within this quad can be obtained on
the internet at < http://www.ncniip.orL)-/Pages/heritai,,edata.litnil >.
The limited project area does not appear to contain potential habitat for any federally threatened or
endangered species. Therefore, 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
The FIR notes that the wetlands to be impacted are not considered a "significant marshgrass fringe"
and occur as a result of recent shoreline erosion. The new bulkhead would extend no further below
the NHW line than necessary to connect with the adjacent bulkheads. Based on these considerations,
the Service does not believe the activities described in the PN and FIR would have significant
adverse and/or irreversible effects on fish and wildlife resources. Therefore, the Service has no
objection, from the standpoint of fish and wildlife under our jurisdiction, to the issuance of a DA
permit for the proposed activities. We support the permit conditions recommended in the FIR.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to comment on this permit application. If you have
questions regarding these comments or wish to discuss the development of the coordinated federal
position, please contact Howard Hall at 919-856-4520, ext. 27 or by e-mail at <

Reference the application of Gary Singleton for a Department of the Army permit to
construct approximately 58 linear feet of bulkhead and fill 460 square feet of coastal wetlands
located at Lots 1 and 2, North Shore Drive, at the intersection of Cobia Street and North Shore
Drive, adjacent to a man made canal, which is a tributary to Jinks Creek, in Sunset Beach,
Brunswick County, North Carolina.
The Federal agencies have completed review of the proposal as presented by the
application and your field investigation report.
We recommend that the following conditions be included in the State authorization:
1. All work authorized by this permit must be performed in strict compliance with the
attached plans, which are a part of this permit. Any modification to these plans must be approved
by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) prior to implementation.
2. The permittee understands and agrees that, if future operations by the United States
require the removal, relocation, or other alteration, of the structure or work herein authorized, or
if, in the opinion of the Secretary of the Army or his authorized representative, said structure or
work shall cause unreasonable obstruction to the free navigation of the navigable waters, the
permittee will be required, upon due notice from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, to remove,
relocate, or alter the structural work or obstructions caused thereby, without expense to the
United States. No claim shall be made against the United States on account of any such removal,
relocation, or alteration. The permittee shall notify NOAA/NATIONAL OCEAN SERVICE
Chief Source Data Unit N CS261, 1315 E West HWY- RM 7316, Silver Spring, MD 20910-
3282 at least two weeks prior to beginning work and upon completion of work.
3. Except as specified in the plans attached to this permit, no excavation, fill or
mechanized land-clearing activities shall take place at any time in the construction or
maintenance of this project, in such a manner as to impair normal flows and circulation patterns
within waters or wetlands or to reduce the reach of waters or wetlands.
4. Except as authorized by this permit or any USACE approved modification to this
permit, no excavation, fill or mechanized land-clearing activities shall take place at any time in
the construction or maintenance of this project, within waters or wetlands. This permit does not
authorize temporary placement or double handling of excavated or fill material within waters or
wetlands outside the permitted area. This prohibition applies to all borrow and fill activities
connected with this project.
5. All mechanized equipment will be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of waters and wetlands from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic
materials. In the event of a spill of petroleum products or any other hazardous waste, the

Ext. 526 or [phone] and provisions of the North Carolina Oil Pollution and Hazardous
Substances Control Act will be followed.
6. The authorized structure and associated activity must not interfere with the public's
right to free navigation on all navigable waters of the United States. No attempt will be made by
the permittee to prevent the full and free use by the public of all navigable waters at or adjacent
to the authorized work for reason other than safety.
7. If the permittee discovers any previously unknown historic or archeological remains
while accomplishing the authorized work, he will immediately notify the Wilmington District
Engineer who will initiate the required coordination procedures.
8. The permittee shall advise the Corps in writing at least two weeks prior to beginning
the work authorized by this permit and again upon completion of the work authorized by this
permit.
9. The permittee shall require its contractors and/or agents to comply with the terms and
conditions of this permit in the construction and maintenance of this project, and shall provide
each of its contractors and/or agents associated with the construction or maintenance of this
project with a copy of this permit. A copy of this permit, including all conditions, shall be
available at the project site during construction and maintenance of this project.
10. The permittee shall employ all sedimentation and erosion control measures necessary
to prevent an increase in sedimentation or turbidity within waters and wetlands outside the
permit area. This shall include, but is not limited to, the immediate installation of silt fencing or
similar appropriate devices around all areas subject to soil disturbance or the movement of
earthen fill, and the immediate stabilization of all disturbed areas. Additionally, the project must
remain in full compliance with all aspects of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973
(North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 113A Article 4).
