Dear Mr. Kidder:
Reference your application for Department of the Army authorization to
excavate and fill wetlands adjacent the Cape Fear River associated with
construction of a 4.5-acre waterfowl management area, 7 miles south of
Belville, Brunswick County, North Carolina.
Through coordination with the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management, we have learned that you have not furnished information necessary
for them to process their required authorization. You should immediately
provide the requested information as Federal authorization is dependent upon
your meeting their requirements.
Please notify us of your intentions within 10 days of your receipt of this
letter. If we do not hear from you, we will assume that you are not
interested in pursuing Federal authorization at this time, and your
application will be retired.

Dear Mr. Parker:
Reference the application of Town Creek Lumber Company, represented by
Mr. George E. Kidder, for a Department of the Army permit to excavate and fill
in wetlands adjacent to the Cape Fear River associated with construction of a
4.5 acre waterfowl management area, seven miles south of Belville,??r`unsw bk
County, North Carolina.
The Federal agencies have completed review of the proposal as presented by
the application and your field investigation report. By letters of March 31
and April 2, 1993 (copies enclosed), the National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommended that the
application be denied. Their recommendations are due to anticipated adverse
impacts on fishery resources and water quality. We concur with the Federal
review agencies, recommendations.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Rudi Schiener, Wilmington

Dear Mr. Kidder:
The Division of Environmental Management, Water Quality Section has
reviewed your plans for wetland fill for 0.68 acres of wetlands and of control water
over 4.5 acres of wetlands at N.C. 133 near Belville in Brunswick County for waterfowl
impoundment. Based on this review, we have identified significant uses which would
be removed by this project. These are pollutant removal, water storage, and aquatic
life habitat. Furthermore, insufficient evidence is present in our files to conclude that
your project must be built in wetlands. Therefore, we are moving toward denial of
your 401 Certification. Until we receive this information, we are requesting (by copy of
this letter) that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and/or the N.C. Division of Coastal
Management place your project on administrative hold.
Please provide us with information supporting your position that your project
must be constructed as planned. Specifically can you construct your Waterfowl
impoundment while retaining freshwater marsh inside the diked impoundment? In
addition, some removal of the existing dike will probably be necessary to offset the
area of fill from the new dike. Any documentation such as maps and narrative which
you can supply to address alternative designs may be helpful in our review of your
401 Certification. Please respond within two weeks of the date of this letter.

RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OR PERMIT RESTRICTIONS: A site visit was
conducted on March 30, 1993, along with Cherri Smith and Eric
Galamb. The project as proposed would result in the direct loss
of 30,000 sq. ft. of coastal brackish marsh by the excavation and
filling activities associated with the construction of the new
dike. Such a loss of use (see attached Rating Sheet) is
inconsistent with 15A NCAC 2B .0201. In reference to the March
8, 1993 letter to the COE from Charlie Hollis, Mr. Hollis states:
that wetland impacts are avoided by abandoning the management of
approximately 30 acres of the former impoundment; wetland impacts
would be minimized by reducing the impoundment size to the least
that which would be practicable for waterfowl management; and
that wetland impacts would be mitigated at nearly a 10 to 1 ratio
by abandonment of the existing 32 acre impoundment and allowing
it to remain open to tidal influence. According to DCM, the area
inside the former 32 acre impoundment is currently considered
public trust waters/State regulated tidal marsh and that
continued management of the former impoundment would also require
a CAMA Major Permit. In light of this, it would seem that the
applicants are not providing 10 to 1 mitigation by abandoning the
former impoundment because the entire area within the existing
impoundment is currently under State jurisdiction.
This Office has no objection to the reduction in the size of
the original impoundment, in that a waterfowl impoundment is an
established use for this area. However, this office does object
to filling and excavating additional marsh area for the
construction of new dike area. It is recommended that other
mitigation be considered for the project, i.e., removal of
existing dike fill, equal to or greater than the 30,000 sq. ft.
proposed for excavation and filling.

9. PROTECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is located on the property known as Pleasant Oaks Plantation, off N. C.
Hwy. 133, approximately 7 miles south of Belville, adjacent to Town Creek and the Cape
Fear River, in Brunswick County. The entire tract is approximately 4600 acres, between the
AIWW and N. C. Hyw. 133, east to west, and from Town Creek, south along the river, for
approximately 2 1/2 miles. The property was once part of one of the large rice plantations
which operated in this area of the Cape. Fear. At one time, large rice fields fronted the
property along the Cape Fear River. The project site is the most northeasterly of these
remnant rice impoundments. The applicant reports that the owners have maintained and
managed this area as a waterfowl impoundment for more than fifty years. During this time,
several breaches in the dike have been repaired, the last in 1986. The dike again eroded open
during a storm in 1987, and has been open to the tidal influence of the river since that time.
The old impoundment is located along the Cape Fear River, just south of the mouth of Town
Creek. It encompasses approximately 32 acres of vegetated wetlands consisting of, primarily,
cat-tails (Tvnha spp.), giant cordgrass (Spartina cynosuroides), reed (Phra,gmites communis),
and sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense). The breach in the dike is located in the southeast corner
of the impoundment. Tidal influence since the initial breach has eroded the opening to a
width of approximately 50 feet.
In the project area, the waters of the Cape Fear River are classified SC, and the waters of
Town Creek are classified SC-Sw, by the. N. C. Division of Environmental Management. In
the project area, both water bodies are designated as Primary Nursery Area by the N. C.
Division of Marine Fisheries.
Rather than proposing a repair to the old dike, the applicants propose to retreat from the high
energy hydrology adjacent to the river, and construct a new, smaller impoundment in the
southeast corner of the original diked area. The new impoundme a approximately
650 feet long and 350 feet wide, or an area of approximately 4.5 acre . A new dike is
proposed, extending 650 feet north from . the existing south a of the original
impoundment, then turning west for 330 feet to intersect with high ground. The new dike
would be 15 . feet wide and 5 feet high. It would be constructed by excavating adjacent
material inside the proposed dike alignment. The excavation would create a water corridor or
ditch along the inside perimeter of the dike, of approximately the inverse dimensions of the
proposed dike, 15 feet wide and 5 feet deep, at MLW. A water control structure is proposed
in the southeast corner of the proposed impoundment. It would consist of an 18" pipe with
hinged flapper gates on each end.
Town Creek Lumber Co.
Page 3
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The proposed project would incorporate approximately 4.5 acres of coastal wetlands which
are currently inundated daily by the tidal amplitude of the adjacent Cape Fear River. The
proposed excavation and subsequent side placement of excavated materials during the
construction of the dike, would cause the loss of approximately 30,000 square feet of coastal
wetlands. The impoundment would create 4.5 acres of shallow water habitat for resident and
migratory waterfowl, provided that water management practices were maintained through the
winter season.

Dear Mr. Schiener:
Please refer to the Corps' letter dated March 4, 1993 to Mr. George
E. Kidder regarding the pending Town Creek Lumber Company application
for a Department of the Army/CAMA permit to abandon an existing 30-40
acre waterfowl. impoundment and construct a 4.5 acre impoundment adjacent
to the high-ground inside the existing impoundment. Please refer also
to your visit to the site on February 2, 1993.
With reference to compliance with the EPA/Corps 1990 Mitigation
MOA, please recall our discussion onsite and the notations on the permit
application which explained that the applicant plans to abandon the
large existing impoundment and allow it to remain open to the Cape Fear
River tides rather than to again repair the existing dike. The present
application requests, instead, permission to replace the existing 30-40
acre impoundment with a 4.5-acre one (nearly 1/10th the original size)
within the existing impoundment and located adjacent to the existing
high ground. The selection of this minimal alternative, rather than
proceeding with another repair of the larger existing dike, clearly
represents generous compliance with the Mitigation MOA by:
i. avoiding the continued management impacts on nearly 30 acres of
historically impounded wetlands,
ii. minimizing wetland impacts by reducing the impoundment size to
the least that would be practicable for waterfowl management, and
iii. providing nearly 10 to 1 mitigation by abandonment of the
management of the existing 30-40 acre impoundment and allowing it
to remain open to the tides.

Dear Mr. Dorney:
M-$ E
Enclosed is the application of Town Creek Lumber Company, Mr. George E.
Kidder, for Department of the Army authorization and a State Water Quality
Certification to excavate and fill in wetlands adjacent to the Cape Fear River
associated with construction of a 4.5-acre waterfowl management area, 7 miles
south of Belville, Brunswick 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 May 4, 1993, the District Engineer will deem that waiver
has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Rudolf Schiener, Wilmington
Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone].

8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicants propose to create a 4.5 acre impoundment for
waterfowl management, by constructing a dike in the southwest corner of a previously
impounded 32 acre area.

9. PROTECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is located on the property known as Pleasant Oaks Plantation, off N. C.
Hwy. 133, approximately 7 miles south of Belville, adjacent to Town Creek and the Cape
Fear River, in Brunswick County. The entire tract is approximately 4600 acres, between the
AIWW and N. C. Hyw. 133, east to west, and from Town Creek, south along the river, for
approximately 2 1/2 miles. The property was once part of one of the large rice plantations
which, operated in this area of the Cape Fear. At one time, large rice fields fronted the
property along the Cape Fear River. The project site is the most northeasterly of these
remnant rice impoundments. The applicant reports that the owners have maintained and
managed this area as a waterfowl impoundment for more than fifty years. During this time,
several breaches in the dike have been repaired, the last in 1986. The dike again eroded open
during a storm in 1987, and has been open to the tidal influence of the river since that time.
The old impoundment is located along the Cape Fear River, just south of the mouth of Town
Creek. It encompasses approximately 32 acres of vegetated wetlands consisting of, primarily,
cat-tails (Typha sop.), giant cordgrass (Spartina cynosuroides), reed (Phragmites communis),
and sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense). The breach in the dike is located in the southeast corner
of the impoundment. Tidal influence since the initial breach has eroded the opening to a
width of approximately 50 feet.
In the project area, the waters of the Cape Fear River are classified SC, and the waters of
Town Creek are classified SC-Sw, by the N. C. Division of Environmental Management. In
the project area, both water bodies are designated as Primary Nursery Area by the N. C.
Division of Marine Fisheries.
Rather than proposing a repair to the old dike, the applicants propose to retreat from the high
energy hydrology adjacent to the river, and construct a new, smaller impoundment in the
southeast corner of the original diked area. The new impoundment would be approximately
650 feet long and 350 feet wide,. or an area of approximately 4.5 acres. A new dike is
proposed, extending 650 feet north from the existing southern dike of the original
impoundment, then turning west for 330 feet to intersect with high ground. The new dike
would be 15 feet wide and, 5 feet high. It would be constructed by excavating adjacent
material inside the proposed dike alignment. The excavation would create a water corridor or
ditch along the inside perimeter of the dike, of approximately the inverse dimensions of the
proposed dike, 15 feet wide and 5 feet deep, at MLW. A water control structure is proposed
in the southeast corner of the proposed impoundment. It would consist of an 18" pipe with
hinged flapper gates on each end.

10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The proposed project would incorporate approximately 4.5 acres of coastal wetlands which
are currently inundated daily by the tidal amplitude of the adjacent Cape Fear River. The
proposed excavation and subsequent side placement of excavated materials during the
construction of the dike, would cause the loss of approximately 30,000 square feet of coastal
wetlands. The impoundment would create 4.5 acres of shallow water habitat for resident and
migratory waterfowl, provided that water management practices were maintained through the
winter season.
