Public Notice 1994.00121
Dear Mr. Mager:
Mr. Heber Rose, President of Little Creek Investments, Inc.
has requested that I respond to your letter dated November 8,
1993 alleging inconsistencies in the Section 404 (b)(1)
guidelines in this proposed project.
The bulkheading.of Windmill Point is required only because
of the severe battering given to both the Pungo River and Pungo
Creek shorelines by the March 1993 storm. This storm caused a
very high rate of erosion in these fine, highly erodable
shoreline soils. More than 30 feet of shore was eroded away as
is evidenced by downedtrees and stumps in the water. Prompt
recovery of recently "lost shore is acceptable under the
guidelines.
The bulkhead, proposed in your letter that would be located
5 feet from the normal water line, is not practical along Pungo
Creek because the local shoreline shape will then cause
converging of wind driven waves which will focus energy into the
center requiring a substantial structure that could remain in
place during even moderate wind events.
The statement in your letter that the bulkhead will be
"from 11 to 30 feet beyond the normar water line" requires some
clarification. The proposed bulkhead will come tangent to and
touch the recent highly eroded (during the March 1993 storm)
normal water line at several locations. Any interpretation
concerning how close the proposed bulkhead will come to the
normal water mark as shown on the map accompanying the
application should consider the combination of the line weight
j?.c

Mr. Andreas Mager, Jr.

and necessity to leave an air gap at the points of tangency of
the normal water mark and bulkhead in order to provide the map
user with sufficient clarity to understand the details of the
proposal.
.We believe the groins provide protection for the existing
404 and CAMA Wetlands, provide protected water for fish frye and
other marine creatures as well as bulkhead protection. The
combination of fine equal-angular sand and silt sediment, and
constant wind driven wave action with minor lunar tide keep the
bottom in constant motion rendering that part of the shore that
is not in vegetated CAMA or 404 Wetlands of little value to
marine life.
We feel the number and locations of groins should be kept as
is, however the length of the longest groins could be reduced to
60 feet.
The proposed work in the Rose Gut area is best described as
the continued maintenance of a long used boat landing area. The
concrete boat ramp has been present for more than 35 years as
well as the excavated boat house. Rose Gut and the channel
feeding it from the southwest have received considerable
channeling by man made excavation in the past 100 years. The
channel feeding Rose Gut drains several hundred acres of present
and former farm land and presently is a man made channel. The
present need for cleaning the existing channel has been caused by
changes in farm drainage patterns that have reduced the flow
through the Gut. The boat house and concrete boat ramp were not
constructed by individuals who relied on the present two feet of
water to launch boats in an area that within a few hours the
water level can drop more than one foot due to the wind tide.
Local residents are certain of the man-made nature and
maintenance activities in what is now Rose Gut and the canal
feeding it.
The applicant is conscious of the need not to destroy
fishery habitat. We also believe that the groins mitigate
naturally unfavorable to marine life shore line conditions.
The applicant is only requesting to continue the maintenance
of Rose Gut in the manner that it has been historically
maintained for the purpose of launching boats and drainage.
The location of the proposed pier does not harm the
propagation of marine life and conforms to current CAMA and Corps
guidelines and should be permitted at the proposed location.
Moving the proposed pier location would seriously encumber the
use of one lot without producing measurable environmental
benefits.

Attention Norm Sanders
Dear Colonel Cajigal:
The National Marine Fisheries Service has reviewed Public Notice
199400121 dated October 12, 1993, whereby Little Creek Investments,
Incorporated proposes to excavate and fill wetlands adjacent to
Pungo Creek, Beaufort County, North Carolina. The purpose of the
proposed work is to stabilize the eroding shoreline and develop a
common access for the subdivision residents.
The project consists of construction of 2,996 linear feet of
bulkheading along the property's shoreline. The bulkhead will be
aligned from 11 to 30 feet beyond the normal water line. Also
proposed are 13 rock groins ranging in length from 140- to 40-feet-
long with an average width of approximately 6.5 feet.
pier and a boat ramp will be constructed, an old boat basin willlbe
filled, and a 140-foot-long by 25-foot-wide by 3.5-foot-deep access
channel is proposed in Rose Gut. All excavated material would be
disposed of on uplands.
Based on the enclosed report and our knowledge of the
proect area,
are concerned that portions of this project will be detr mental
to fishery resources for which we are responsible. We do
object to the proposed communit not
dredging and filling of shallow water, -wills adversely proposed
act
estuarine dependent and anadromous fishery resources that utilize
the project area as habitat. This work will result in the fillip
of 0.93 acre and excavation of 0.08 acre of shallow benthic habitat
in Pungo Creek and Rose Gut. These shallow areas provide seconda
nursery areas and critical habitat for a variety of commercially
and recreationally important species including Atlantic croaker
(Micronoctonias undulatus
crab (Callinectes _sapidus) brown shrimp (Penus azte blue
tat us). and summer flounder (Paralichthvs

In our opinion, inadequate consideration

realigned within five feet of the exi g.ro o . shorelrine,impacts thereby, stin on

PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing to stabilize the shoreline of Windmill Point
Subdivision and to develop a common access lot for subdivision residents.
.
LITTLE CREEK INVESTMENTS, INC.
Windmill Point Subdivision
Beaufort County
Environmental setting
The applicant owns a 99.96 acre tract of land at the end of SR 1721 adjacent to Pungo
Creek and the Pungo River in Beaufort County. Several years ago a portion of the property,
which at that time was being utilized as agricultural row crops, was subdivided into 23 lots
(Phase I) for single family dwellings. At the present time, six of the lots have been sold,
however, only two have been built upon. A 60' wide asphalt road which connects to SR 1721
has been placed within the subdivision. As the lots are sold, sewage will be treated by
individual septic tanks. Also, each lot will have an individual well for potable water supply.
The individual lots that have been subdivided vary in size from 0.75 to 1.5 acres. The majority
of the lots are vegetated with various upland grasses, however, several of the lots which are
located along the Pungo River and Little Creek have fringes of coastal wetlands (marsh) which
is dominated by SSpartina cynosuroides. Erosion is occurring on several of the lots with the
severest being on the lots located along Pungo Creek. This is evident by a defined erosion
scarp. Along several of the lots on the Pungo River, numerous pottery shards are located within
the erosion scarp. Archeological Site Bf-43 is located in the vicinity of the project. The portion
of the property which has not been subdivided is vegetated with various habitat ranging from
coastal wetlands, to wooded highground. These portions of the property riay be subdivided into
additional phases of the project at a later date.
Project proposal
The applicant is proposing the following:
1) The construction of 2,996' of bulkhead which will average 11' beyond the normal
water line and will be 30' beyond the normal water line at the furthest point. The
bulkhead will extend from Lot No. 5 to Lot No. 23 plus the common area on
Rose Gut and Little Creek (see attached plat) when completed the bulkhead will
be backfilled with material from an upland source.
2) The construction of 13 rock groins. There will be 5 groins at 130' long each, 2
groins at 80' long each, 1 groin at 100' long and 5 groins at 40' long each. All
of the groins will have a minimum base width of 5' at the landward end and a
minimum base width of 8' at the waterward end. See attached plat for exact
location for each groin.
3) The construction of a 260' long by 5' wide pier on the subdivisions common area
lot. There will be a 10' by 16' T-section at the waterward end of the pier. The
pier will extend into Little Creek.

Windmill Point Subdivision

4) The repair of the existing concrete boat ramp by extending it 8' further into Rose
Gut.
5) The filling of an old boat basin which is connected to Rose Gut. The basin is 30'
long by 20' wide. At one time the basin was covered by a deteriorated boat
house.
6) The excavation of an area 140' long by 25' in width to a -3.5' at normal water
within Rose Gut. The excavation is intended to provide better access to the boat
ramp. All excavated materials are to be placed on adjacent highground.
Environmental impacts
The following environmental impacts will occur as the project is proposed:
1) ±32,956 sq. ft. of shallow water bottom area will be filled landward of the
proposed bulkhead.
2) ±7,490 sq. ft. of shallow water bottom area will be filled due to the groin
construction.
3) ±600 sq. ft. of shallow water bottom area will be filled within the boat basin.
4) ±3,500 sq. ft. of shallow water bottom area will be excavated in Rose Gut.
5) Some short term turbidity will result during bulkhead and pier construction.
6) No wetland vegetation will be excavated and/or filled.

Dear Sirs:
This letter is in response to several inspections made by this
department at the Windmill Pt., near Norfleet Shores, on the Pungo
River. The purpose of these inspections were to determine
suitability for approximately 39 lots to be included in the
Windmill Pt. Subdivision. Soil borings and inspections were
made in several areas on this property, and determinations
regarding texture and application rates were considered.
Topographical determinations were not easily recognized, however,
because of the thick underbrush on certain areas and the
agricultural crops that were growing in the fields. A topo map
may be required later, if needed, to establish suitability in
certain areas.
This project is varied with regard to suitability of individual
lots. Several lots were found to be suitable with minor modifi-
cations, such as cutting surface swell ditches down the property
lines and "turtle-backing" or crowning the lots. Other lots,
however, may require some filling or pumping of the sewage
effluent to a more suitable area for waste disposal. Cleaning,
out existing drainage ditches will certainly help this project
also as there are some areas that will be improved with this
needed drainage.
This project is headed in the right direction by addressing the
fact that there are certainly individual lots that are self-
supporting with regards to sewage disposal, and that there are
enough suitable land areas that will support other lots, if
needed, by the availability of pumping the effluent. Final
determinations are established on an individual lot basis as
improvement permits are applied for. Through the efforts of
Mr. Duke Woodlief, Registered Survever, for this project, this
office has been kept informed of variences in elevation and has
made working with such a large land scale project easier than
usual. Through the working relationship with Mr. Woodlief's
office and the department in acquiring the most potential use of
this project, the number of lots requested should be realized with
the modifications aforementioned.

8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing to stabilize the shoreline of Windmill Point
Subdivision and to develop a common access lot for subdivision residents.
'e
LITTLE CREEK INVESTMENTS, INC.
Windmill Point Subdivision
Beaufort County
Environmental setting
The applicant owns a 99.96 acre tract of land at the end of SR 1721 adjacent to Pungo
Creek and the Pungo River in Beaufort County. Several years ago a portion of the property,
which at that time was being utilized as agricultural row crops, was subdivided into 23 lots
(Phase I) for single family dwellings. At the present time, six of the lots have been sold,
however, only two have been built upon. A 60' wide asphalt road which connects to SR 1721
has been placed within the subdivision. As the lots are sold, sewage will be treated by
individual septic tanks. Also, each lot will have an individual well for potable water supply.
The individual lots that have been subdivided vary in size from 0.75 to 1.5 acres. The majority
of the lots are vegetated with various upland grasses, however, several of the lots which are
located along the Pungo River and Little Creek have fringes of coastal wetlands (marsh) which
is dominated by Spartina cynosuroides. Erosion is occurring on several of the lots with the
severest being on the lots located along Pungo Creek. This is evident by a defined erosion
scarp. Along several of the lots on the Pungo River, numerous pottery shards are located within
the erosion scarp. Archeological Site Bf-43 is located in the vicinity of the project. The portion
of the property which has not been subdivided is vegetated with various habitat ranging from
coastal wetlands, to wooded highground. These portions of the property may be subdivided into
additional phases of the project at a later date.
Project proposal
The applicant is proposing the following:
1) The construction of 2,996' of bulkhead which will average 11' beyond the normal
water line and will be 30' beyond the normal water line at the furthest point. The
bulkhead will extend from Lot No. 5 to Lot No. 23 plus the common area on
Rose Gut and Little Creek (see attached plat) when completed the bulkhead will
be backfilled with material from an upland source.
2) The construction of 13 rock groins. There will be 5 groins at 130' long each, 2
groins at 80' long each, 1 groin at 100' long and 5 groins at 40' long each. All
of the groins will have a minimum base width of 5' at the landward end and a
minimum base width of 8' at the waterward end. See attached plat for exact
location for each groin.
3) The construction of a 260' long by 5' wide pier on the subdivisions common area
lot.. There will be a 10' by 16' T-section at the waterward end of the pier. The
pier will extend into Little Creek.
LITTLE CREEK INVESTMENTS, INC.
Windmill Point Subdivision
Beaufort County
Page 2
4) The repair of the existing concrete boat ramp by extending it 8' further into Rose
Gut.
5) The filling of an old boat basin which is connected to Rose Gut. The basin is 30'
long by 20' wide. At one time the basin was covered by a deteriorated boat
house.
6) The excavation of an area 140' long by 25' in width to a -3.5' at normal water
within Rose Gut. The excavation is intended to provide better access to the boat
ramp. All excavated materials are to be placed on adjacent highground.
Environmental impacts
The following environmental impacts will occur as the project is proposed:
1) ±32,956 sq. ft. of shallow water bottom area will be filled landward of the
proposed bulkhead.
2) ±7,490 sq. ft. of shallow water bottom area will be filled due to the groin
construction.
3) ±600 sq. ft. of shallow water bottom area will be filled within the boat basin.
4) ±3,500 sq. ft. of shallow water bottom area will be excavated in Rose Gut.
5) Some short term turbidity will result during bulkhead and pier construction.
6) No wetland vegetation will be excavated and/or filled.

LITTLE CREEK INVESTMENTS, INC.
Windmill Point Subdivision

Page 2
(12) Prior to any excavation in Rose Gut, the repair of the boat ramp and the filling of the
boat basin, an onsite pre-construction meeting must be held between the applicant,
contractor and a representative of the DCM.
(13) The excavation in Rose Gut will not exceed -3.5 feet below the normal water level.
(14) The temporary placement or double handling of excavated or fill materials within waters
or vegetated wetlands is not authorized.
(15) No excavated or fill material will be placed at anytime in any marsh or surrounding
waters outside of the alignment of the fill area indicated on the work plat(s).
(16) All excavated materials will be confined above normal water level and landward of
regularly or irregularly flooded marsh behind adequate dikes or other retaining structures
to prevent spill-over of solids into any marsh or surrounding waters.
(17) No rock groins will extend more than 25' beyond or exceed 1 foot in elevation above the
normal water level.
(18) The rock groins will have a bottom width no greater than 5' at thu:landward end and no
greater than 8' at the waterward end.
(19) No groin will be located within 15' of any coastal wetland area.
(20) The six (6) groins that are proposed on Lot No. 13 are not authorized, therefore, can not
be constructed.

Enclosed is the application of Little Creek Investments, Incorporated,
represented by Mr. Heber Rose, President, for Department of the Army
authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to construct and
backfill a bulkhead, construct 13 rock groins, construct a pier, repair a
boatramp, excavate an excess channel and place fill material in an old boat
basin on Pungo Creek, the Pungo River, Windmill Estates, Beaufort County,
North Carolina. Your receipt of this letter verifies your acceptance of a
valid request for certification in accordance with Section 325.2(b)(ii) of our
administrative regulations.
We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to Section
404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have determined that a water quality
certification is required under the provisions of Section 401 of the same law.
A Department of the Army permit will not be granted until the certification
has been obtained or waived.
In accordance with our administrative regulations, in most cases, 60 days
after receipt of a request for certification is a reasonable time for State
action. Therefore, if you have not acted on the request, or asked for an
extension of time, by December 14, 1993, the District Engineer will deem that
waiver has occurred.

Dear Sirs:
This letter is in response to several inspections mad
by department at the Windmill Pt., near Norfleet Shores$ onthelPun o
River. The purpose of these inspections were to determine g
suitability for approximately 39 lots to be included in the
Windmill Pt. Subdivision. Soil borings and inspections were
made in several areas on this property, and determinations
regarding texture and application rates were considered.
Topographical determinations were not easily recognized, however,
because of the thick underbrush on certain areas and the
agricultural crops that were growing in the fields. '
may be required later, if needed, to establish suitabilitvoinaP
certain areas.
This project is varied with regard to suitability of individual
lots. Several lots were found to be suitable with minor modifi-
cations, such as-cutting surface swell ditches down the propert
lines and "turtle-backing" or crowning the lots. Other lots y
however, may require some filling or pumping of the sewage
effluent to a more suitable area for waste disposal. Cleaning
out existing drainage ditches will certainly help this project
also as there are some areas that will be improved with this
needed drainage.
This project is headed in the right direction by addressing the
fact that there are certainly individual lots that are self-
supporting with regards to sewage disposal, and that there are
enough suitable land areas that will su
needed, by the availability of pumping thereffluent. Final
determinations are established on an individual lot basis as
improvement permits are applied for.
Mr. Duke Woodlief, Registered Surveyer,forgthise efforts this projec office has been kept informed of variences in elevation tandhas
made working with such a large land scale project easier than
usual. Through the working relationship with Mr. Woodlief's
office and the department in acquiring the most
this project, the number of lots requested shouldobenrealized with
the modifications aforementioned.

Dear Mr. Parker:
66,

Reference the application of Little Creek Investments, Incorporated,
represented by Mr. Heber Rose, for a Department of the Army permit to
construct and backfill a bulkhead, construct thirteen rock groins, construct a
pier, repair a boatramp, excavate an excess channel and place fill material in
an old boat basin on Pungo Creek, the Pungo River, Windmill Estates, Beaufort
County, North Carolina.
The Federal agencies have completed review of the proposal as presented
by the application and your field investigation report. The National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS), by letter of November 8, 1993 (copy enclosed), has
recommended that authorization not be provided unless plans are revised as
follows:
a. The proposed bulkhead will be realigned so that it is positioned no
farther than five (5) feet waterward from the normal water elevation contour.
b. The proposed boatramp will be relocated to the mouth of Rose Gut to
eliminate the need for excavation within Rose Gut.
C. Justification for each proposed groin will be submitted for review.
Any unnecessary groins will be deleted from project plans.
The permittee has been furnished a copy of the NMFS' letter, and his comments
are anticipated on or before December 22, 1993.
We fully support the NMFS' recomendations. Should plans be revised, as
discussed above, and groins be justified, we recommend that the following
conditions be included in the State authorization:
a. All work authorized by this permit must be performed in strict
compliance with the permit plans. (Revised plans must indicate the more
restrictive bulkhead alignment, the relocated boatramp, no excavation in Rose
Gut and only groins which have been justified.)
1
-2-
b. The bulkheads will not be positioned farther waterward than five (5)
feet from the normal water elevation contour at any point along its alignment.
To prevent an unintentional violation of this authorization, representatives
of the North Carolina Division of Coastal Managment and the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers will be available to stake the bulkhead alignment prior to
construction.
C. prior to the placement of any fill material in the old boat basin,
the mouth of the basin will be bulkheaded, the basin will be dewatered and a
silt curtain will be installed on the landward side of the bulkhead to prevent
any sedimentation or increased turbidity in Rose Gut or Little Creek.
d. All backfill materials will be obtained from a highground source and
confined landward of the permitted bulkhead.
e. The fill material will be clean and free of any pollutants except in
trace quantities. Metal products, organic materials, or unsightly debris will
not be used.
f. No excavated or fill materials will be placed at any time in any
vegetated wetlands or waters.
g. No vegetated wetlands will be excavated or filled.
h. 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. Use of the permitted activity must not interfere with the public's
right to free navigation on all navigable waters of the United States.
i. The permittee will maintain the authorized work in good condition and
in conformance with the terms and conditions of this permit. The permittee is
not relieved of this requirement if he abandons the permitted activity without
having it transferred to a third party.
j. The activity will be conducted in such a manner as to prevent a
significant increase in turbidity outside the area of construction or
construction-related discharge. Increases such that the turbidity in the
waterbody is 50 NTU's or less are not considered significant.

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 Mr. Rose:
Reference your application for Department of the Army (DA) authorization
to construct and backfill a bulkhead, construct thirteen rock groins,
construct a pier, repair a boatramp, excavate an excess channel and place fill
material in an old boat basin on Pungo Creek, the Pungo River, Windmill
Estates, Beaufort County, North Carolina.
On February 6, 1990, the DA and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) establishing procedures to
determine the type and level of mitigation necessary to comply with the Clean
Water Act Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines. This MOA provides for first, avoiding
impacts to waters and wetlands through the selection of the least damaging,
practical alternative; second, taking appropriate and practical steps to
minimize impacts on waters and wetlands; and finally, compensating for any
remaining unavoidable impacts to the extent appropriate and practical. To
enable us to process your application in full compliance with this MOA, we
request that you provide the following additional information:
a. Permits for work within wetlands or other special aquatic sites are
available only if the proposed work is the least environmentally damaging,
practicable alternative. Please furnish information regarding any other
