The Wilmington Regional Office received your copy of the Nationwide Permit Application for a
Nationwide 13 for 343 linear feet of shoreline stabilization above the normal water level for the purpose of
protecting the existing helicopter landing pad in the Hospital Point area of Camp Lejeune in Onslow County. After
The US Army Corps of Engineers issues you a permit, you are authorized to proceed under General Water Quality
Certification # 3495 (enclosed). Written concurrence from DWQ is not required provided that you can meet all of
the conditions of this certification.
If at anytime during construction of your project you determine that you cannot meet these conditions or if
there are any unpermitted impacts to wetlands or water quality, you must contact this office immediately.

please review the attached file. Note that you are the first reviewer, so this file will need to be
reviewed for administrative as well as technical details. If you elect to place this project on hold,
please ask the applicant to provide your requested information to both the Central Office in
Raleigh as well as the Asheville Regional Office. As we discussed, this is an experimental, interim
procedure as we slowly transition to electronic applications. Please apprise me of any
complications you encounter, whether related to workload, processing times, or lack of a "second
reviewer" as the triage process in Central had previously provided. Also, if you think of ways to
improve this process, especially so that we can plan for the electronic applications, let me know.

see attached ro'ect narrative
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
Page 9 ol,9
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
littp://Il2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetiands/strniL,ide.iitin1.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
NO MITIGATION PROPOSED
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at littp:/Ai2o.enr.state.tic.us/\?-rp/index.litiii. If use of

Marine Corps Base, Camp Lejeune
Onslow County, North Carolina
Pursuant to the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (40 Code of
Federal Regulations 1500-1508) implementing procedural provisions of the
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Marine Corps Base, Camp Lejeune,
gives notice that an Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding Of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) have been prepared for the proposed action to stabilize
and protect eroding portions of the New River shoreline aboard the Camp Lejeune
complex. Wind-generated wave action and past hurricane flooding have caused 80
percent of the shoreline to erode an average of one foot per year. This results in
about two acres of land being lost annually. Camp Lejeune is concerned that
erosion will cause the loss of base infrastructure, negatively impact military
training operations, and increase maintenance activities and costs.
The EA addresses two alternatives. One is the no action alternative. If
chosen, it would do nothing to stabilize any areas of the shoreline. The
environmental impacts of the no action alternative include continued erosion of the
shoreline, negatively impacting soils, vegetation, wetlands, near-shore fish habitat,
and archaeological sites.
The second, the proposed action, is the preferred alternative. It includes
stabilization by these techniques: construction of offshore detached sills with
marsh vegetation plantings; construction of riprap revetments; and placing concrete
mats. These three techniques were chosen because they are suitable for stabilizing
a range of high and low wave energy environments in wetlands and uplands. Other
techniques were considered but are not suitable for the New River shoreline or are
too expensive to use. Environmental impacts of the proposed action include
temporary soil disturbance and turbidity, change in habitat from soil to rock,
creation of wetlands and habitat, and long-term stabilization of soils. None of the
impacts are significant. Implementation of the proposed action will not adversely
impact threatened and endangered species.
Based on information gathered during preparation of the EA, the Marine
Corps finds that implementing the proposed action using the techniques described
in the EA will not significantly impact the human environment. Therefore, an
Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared. Separate projects will be
designed and submitted to the North Carolina State Clearinghouse for review and
comment. Marine Corps Base, Camp Lejeune will obtain all required permits and
approvals from Stale and Federal agencies prior to taking any action. The EA
addressing this action is on file and may be reviewed by interested parties at
Commanding General, Consolidated Public Affairs Office, Marine Corps Base,
Camp Lejeune, North Carolina 28542-0004, telephone [phone]. A limited
number of copies of the document are available to fill single copy requests.

MCB Camp L.ejeune Inland Shoreline Stabilization and Rehabilitation Study
Executive Summary
Marine Corps Base(hiCB) Camp Lejeune proposes to stabilize/protect eroding portions
of the New River sh=line on the base, through implementation of the best management
plan for given site conditions and regulatory restrictions. Approximately 47 miles (75.6
km) of the 60 miles (96.5 km) of riverine shoreline in the study area have been identified
as areas for which stabilizati on measures have been recommended. A range of
engineering alternatives for shoreline protection was evaluated. Shoreline stabilization
methods that result in the creation of marsh-vegetated shorelines will be used whenever
possible. This programmatic Environmental Assessment (EA) identifies and evaluates the
potential environmental impacts of these actions.
Purpose and Need
The shoreline of the New River is eroding from wind-generated wave action and from the
effects of recent hurricane flooding. Approximately 80 percent of the New River
shoreline is erodingat an average of one foot per year (0.3 meters per year; USACE
1988). This crosiou results in nearly two acres (8094 square meter) of valuable upland
being lost annually. Camp Lejeune is concerned that the erosion will cause the loss of
base infrastructure, wgatively impact military training operations, and increase
maintenance activities and costs.
Approximately 8%ofthe shoreline within the project area has been stabilized over the
years- The majoi tyof the protection is revetments. Historically, most of the revetments
have been constructed with rubble that appears to have been placed by end dumping the
material from the top of the bank. The revetments in several areas have failed, allowing
continued erosion of the bank. More recently constructed revetments have been
constructed ofriprapbased on an engineering design. These structures are in good
condition and appearto be functioning well. Concrete bulkheads also have been used
successfully at a few sites within the project area.
The objective of theproposed actions is to stabilize eroding portions of the New River
shoreline with engineering designs appropriate for the physical conditions and type and
degree of erosion. This would help control on-going wind-generated erosion and help
diminish the effaxs of future storms, thereby preserving access to essential training areas
that support mr7itarytraining requirements, and recreation areas that provide
opportunities for b= personnel to rest and relax. Stabilization of the shoreline would
further afford protection for natural and cultural resources in the area. Shoreline erosion
control would ultimately improve water quality and protect habitat for fish and wildlife,
while preventing undocumented and documented archaeological sites from being eroded
into the river and last.
Proposed Actions and Alternatives
Areas of shorelim were characterized based on their general topography, soil, and
erosional characteristics. These generalized shoreline areas were further divided into 103
November 2001 Page S-1
AICB C=.p Lejeunc
Inland Shoreline Stabilization and Rehabilitation Study
segmcntsto allow more specific evaluation of stabilization needs. The need for
protection was prioritized by ranking, based on a number of factors, including the
presence of threatened buildings or areas important to base activities, the presence of
threatened archaeological sites, the existence of wetland areas, and the rate of shoreline
recession. The type of shorcline present (high bank, medium or low bank, or wetland)
was then used to determine the method and degree of erosion control required.
Alternatives considered for the stabilization/protection of eroding bank environments
includetbe no action alternative, and multiple action alternatives for a range of high and
low wave energy environments and wetlands.
The proposed action for stabilizing most eroding bank communities is the construction of
offshore detached sills with planting of marsh vegetation. These sills could be
constructed of either granite or limestone riprap or marine grade treated timber. Briefly,
implementation would involve accessing the eroding shoreline and establishing a staging
area from which offshore construction could be coordinated. Construction would then
involve the placement of material approximately 20 to 50 ft (6.1 to 15.2 m) offshore. The
height of the sill would be approximately 6 in. (15 cm.) above the mean low water line
for sills constructed of riprap, and a minimum of 6 in. (15 clh.) above the mean high
water line for sills constructed of timber. Design would include gaps in the structure to
allow for tidal exchange behind the sill. Native marsh vegetation would then be planted
and encouraged to establish between the sill and shoreline. These plants would
themselves act as biological stabilizers of the eroding shoreline, in concert with the sill
structure. After construction is completed, any areas on the shore disturbed or cleared
would be repaired and mvegetated with native plant species, as appropriate.
In areas where it may be determined necessary to provide a greater degree of protection
or stabilizAz on, as in areas that experience high wave energy and/or behind which are
located cs ntial base resources, the proposed action is the construction of riprap
revetments. Briefly, implementation of this alternative would involve accessing the
eroding shoreline through the creation of roads in the uplands, where necessary, and
along the top of the bank. Tkriverbanks would then be graded, and a key trench would
be installed at the top of the embankments. After grading the existing embankment, a
woven geotextile material would be placed over the bank extending across and into the
trench, and at least 10 ft (3 m) beyond the toe of the bank. Stone riprap material would
be placed first in a stone apron at the toe of the bank, and then from the toe to the top of
the bank, working in sections along the river. After construction is completed, any
cleared or disturbed areas would be repaired and revegetated with native grasses and tree
saplings, as appropriate.
Another altemative considered for the stabilization/protection of eroding bank
environments is the use of concrete block mats. Briefly, the implementation of this
alternative would involve the installation of pre-fabricated compressed concrete blocks
interconnected with galvanized steel cables. These block mats would be installed on
eroding riverbanks, which would first be graded and covered with woven geotextile. The
geotextile would be anchored into a key trench on the top of the bank, and the ends of the
November 2001 Page S-2
MCB Camp Lcjcwc Inland Shoreline Stabilization and Rehabilitation Study
mat would be covered with riprap material. The design of the mats would include open-
cell blocks which would be filled with sand, soil, or gravel to promote the growth of
native vegetation. Implementation of this alternative would require the construction of
access roads into the area and along the top of eroding banks. Following project
completion, disturbed areas would be repaired and restored with vegetation, as
appropriate.
Other alternatives for eroding bank stabilization considered and dismissed, and therefore
not discussed further, include the use of. grout blankets; concrete filled grid cells; linear
geotextile tuba placed parallel to the shoreline; fiber erosion control mats; gabions;
engineered armor units; concrete blocks; and bulkheads. These alternatives were
dismissed based on various engineering factors.
The proposed action for the protection of eroding shoreline marsh/wetlands is the
construction of detached sills with planting of additional marsh vegetation. Sills would
be constructed of either stone riprap or timber, and located approximately 20 to 50 ft (6.1
to 15.2 m) from the eroding shoreline. Design and installation procedures would be the
same as for detrched sills proposed for eroding bank environments. Such sills would
afford protection of existing marsh/wetlapd areas, while expanding and allowing for the
accretion of additi onal areas of native marsh vegetation.
In areas of eroding marsh/wetland where the construction of sills located 20 ft (15.2 m) or
more from shore would not be appropriate, the proposed action is the construction of
riprap toe sills. These sills would be constructed at the toe of the eroding marsh, and
while water would be able to pass through the sill and over the sill during periods of high
tide, sediment would be retained Installation would involve the creation of an access
road and a central staging area, from which construction would be coordinated. The sill
would be constructed using riprap material of eithergranite or limestone rock. Smaller
sized stones would be placed on the wetland side of the sill, and larger stones would be
placed on the river side of the sill. The length would vary based on the wetland being
protected. Toe height would be the approximate height of the top elevation of the
soil/peat surface of the marsh. Once initial construction was completed, any cleared or
disturbed a= would be repaired and revegetated with native grasses and tree saplings,
as appropriate.
Another alternative considered for the protection of eroding shoreline marsh/wetland '
habitat is the= of geotextile tube sills. This alternative was dismissed on the basis of
engineering factors, and therefore is not discussed further. The environmental impacts
that could insult from implementation of the above alternatives are addressed in the body
of this EA.
Impacts of the Proposed Actions and Alternatives
In considering the environmental consequences stemming from implementation of the
various project alternatives, it can be summarized that the potential environmental
impacts resulting from the no action alternative would stem largely from continued

MCB Camp Lejeune
Onslow County
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (Commission) reviewed the request
to stabilize the shoreline of the New River at Hospital Point with regard to impacts on fish and wildlife
resources. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Coastal Area Management
Act (G.S. 113A-100 through 113A-128), as amended, and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48
Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.).
The applicant proposes to reshape and armor, with riprap, approximately 350 feet of shoreline above the
normal water level. No work is to be performed below normal water level.
The Commission does not object to the project as proposed in regard to its impacts to fish and wildlife
resources. We would recommend that plantings of native shrubs such as wax myrtle (111yrica cerifera) be
used to further stabilize the area upslope. Furthermore, we would recommend planned removal of
upslope riprap as the bank becomes stabilized, replacing it with plantings.
We appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on this permit application. If you need further
assistance or additional information, please contact me at [phone].
