Dear Ms. Taylor:
Subject: Proposed fill in Wetlands or Waters
Maintenance dredging and bulkhead construction
Carteret County
DEM Project #94013
We have reviewed your request for 401 Water Quality Certification
to place fill material in less than 0.01 acres of wetlands or waters
which are tributary to Bogue Sound Creek for bulkhead construction
located at your property off SR 1119 in Carteret County as described
in your submittal dated 6 January 1994. Based on this review, we have
determined that the proposed fill is covered by General Water Quality
Certification No. 2665. A copy of the General Certification is
attached. This Certification is necessary for coverage under Corps of
Engineers' Nationwide Permit No. 13. The bulkhead shall be located as
close to the existing toe of the mean high water as possible to
miminize wetland fill. The design shown in the CAMA permit is not
permitted. This action completes DEM's review under Section 401 of
the Clean Water Act.
If this Certification is unacceptable to you, you have the right
to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30)
days following receipt of this Certification. This request must be in
the form of a written petition conforming to Chapter 150B of the North
Carolina General Statutes and filed with the Office of Administrative
Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. Unless such
demands are made, this Certification shall be final and binding.
1786.
If you have any questions, please contact John Dorney at 919-733-
Sincerely,

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
Dorothy G. Taylor
PAGE #2
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The applicants property is approx 1/2 acres in size
and located on a dirt drive off the east side of SR 1119 near the communities of Bogue
and Ocean, Carteret County. The property is located in the Live Oak subdivision and
adjoins a canal system which enters Bogue Sound. A residential structure is located on
the lot with the remaining property consisting of a grassed yard area with elevations of
approx 8 to 10' above mean sea level. In the early 60's, a canal system was excavated
into the subdivision which resulted in the applicant's property being bordered on the
east and south sides by water. Over the years, the canal system in front of the
applicant's property has filled-in to the point where the entire area has established itself
with a significant amount of spartina alterniflora vegetation. This filling-in can be
attributed in part to the erosion of the applicant's shoreline bank which is approx 3 to
5' above the elevation of the adjacent wetlands. This shoreline bank area is irregular
and shows signs of moderate to severe erosion. A review of aerial photography shows
that in 1984 the canal system in front of this property was "water" whereas in 1989 it
appears to be "dry". A general permit was recently issued to the downstream property
owner which allowed for the maintenance excavation of his portion of the canal to
Bogue Sound. All of the properties downstream and across the applicants property
have been bulkheaded. The waters within this canal system have been classified as
"SA" and are open to the harvesting of shellfish. The waters of Bogue Sound (which
are approx. 250' downstream from the applicant's property) have been classified as
"SA-ORW" and are also open to the harvesting of shellfish.
The applicant is requesting a permit which would allow for the reconstitution of a
portion of the canal system and the construction of a bulkhead and dock. Plans
included with the application show the proposed excavation of an approx 150' long x
30' wide area of coastal wetlands to a depth of -3' MLW deep. The excavation is
proposed to be accomplished by the use of a dragline with the resultant spoils being
placed in two different areas on adjacent high ground and behind a proposed bulkhead.
This bulkhead would be approx 200' in length and would be approx 1 to 10' waterward
of the existing high ground bank (putting it entirely in coastal wetlands). A pier would
also be constructed in the canal.
10. Anticipated Impacts: The project as proposed would result in the excavation of
approx 3,900 sq. ft. of spartina alterniflora wetlands with approx 580 cu yds of
material being removed and placed within two spoil areas on adjacent high ground and
behind a proposed bulkhead. It would appear that the design of the spoil areas or the
volume available behind the bulkhead may not be adequate to allow for the disposal of
this material. Turbidity levels during excavation activities will be elevated but could
be minimized if a silt curtain was installed immediately downstream. The proposed
bulkhead alignment would result in the filling-in of approx 1000 sq. ft. of spartina
alterniflora. While it may be impossible to eliminate all wetland filling because of the
irregularity of the shoreline, it could be minimized with an alignment closer to the
existing bank. It should also be noted that the excavation activities associated with this
DOROTHY G. TAYLOR REPORT
PAGE #3
project will allow for the increased use of the canal system since at least two additional
properties will be provided with water access. If the applicant is successful in
obtaining a permit for this project, it is not known if the adjacent upstream property
owner will request for the continuation of the canal excavation.

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
Dorothy G. Taylor
PAGE #/2
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The applicants property is approx 1/2 acres in size
and located on a dirt drive off the east side of SR 1119 near the communities of Bogue
and Ocean, Carteret County. The property is located in the Live Oak subdivision and
adjoins a canal system which enters Bogue Sound. A residential structure is located on
the lot with the remaining property consisting of a grassed yard area with elevations of
approx 8 to 10' above mean sea level. In the early 60's, a canal system was excavated
into the subdivision which resulted in the applicant's property being bordered on the
east and south sides by water. Over the years, the canal system in front of the
applicant's property has filled-in to the point where the entire area has established itself
with a significant amount of spartina alterniflora vegetation. This filling-in can be
attributed in part to the erosion of the applicant's shoreline bank which is approx 3 to
5' above the elevation of the adjacent wetlands. This shoreline bank area is irregular
and shows signs of moderate to severe erosion. A review of aerial photography shows
that in 1984 the canal system in front of this property was "water" whereas in 1989 it
appears to be "dry". A general permit was recently issued to the downstream property
owner which allowed for the maintenance excavation of his portion of the canal to
Bogue Sound. All of the properties downstream and across the applicants property
have been bulkheaded. The waters within this canal system have been classified as
"SA" and are open to the harvesting of shellfish. The waters of Bogue Sound (which
are approx 250' downstream from the applicant's property) have been classified as
"SA-ORW" and are also open to the harvesting of shellfish.
The applicant is requesting a permit which would allow for the reconstitution of a
portion of the canal system and the construction of a bulkhead and dock. Plans
included with the application show the proposed excavation of an approx 150' long x
30' wide area of coastal wetlands to a depth of -3' MLW deep. The excavation is
proposed to be accomplished by the use of a dragline with the resultant spoils being
placed in two different areas on adjacent high ground and behind a proposed bulkhead.
This bulkhead would be approx 200' in length and would be approx 1 to 10' waterward
of the existing high ground bank (putting it entirely in coastal wetlands). A pier would
also be constructed in the canal.
10. Anticipated Impacts: The project as proposed would result in the excavation of
approx 3,900 sq. ft. of spartina alterniflora wetlands with approx 580 cu yds of
material being removed and placed within two spoil areas on adjacent high ground and
behind a proposed bulkhead. It would appear that the design of the spoil areas or the
volume available behind the bulkhead may not be adequate to allow for the disposal of
this material. Turbidity levels during excavation activities will be elevated but could
be minimized if a silt curtain was installed immediately downstream. The proposed
bulkhead alignment would result in the filling-in of approx 1000 sq. ft. of spartina
alterniflora. While it may be impossible to eliminate all wetland filling because of the
irregularity of the shoreline, it could be minimized with an alignment closer to the
existing bank. It should also be noted that the excavation activities associated with this
DOROTHY G. TAYLOR REPORT
PAGE #3
project will allow for the increased use of the canal system since at least two additional
properties will be provided with water access. If the applicant is successful in
obtaining a permit for this project, it is not known if the adjacent upstream property
owner will request for the continuation of the canal excavation.

Dear Mr. Dorney:
Enclosed is the application of Ms. Dorothy G. Taylor for Department of
the Army authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to excavate a
canal, construct and backfill a bulkhead and construct a pier off Bogue Sound,
Live Oak Cove Subdivision, Carteret 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 March 7, 1994, the District Engineer will deem that
waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Scott McLendon, Wilmington
Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone].
Sincerely,

GENERAL PERMIT
A general permit to perform work in or affecting navigable waters of the
United States and waters of the United States upon the recommendation of the
Chief of Engineers, pursuant to Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act of
March 3, 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403) and to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
(33 U.S.C. 1344), is hereby re-issued under authority of the Secretary of the
Army by the
District Engineer
Wilmington District
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Post Office Box 1890
Wilmington, North Carolina 28402-1890
To authorize those construction activities that receive prior approval from
the State of North Carolina in the form of the following authorizations:
1. Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Permit.
2. Permit to Dredge and/or Fill.
3. Water Quality Certification (Section 401 of the Clean Water Act).
This general permit applies in Beaufort, Bertie, Brunswick, Camden, Carteret,
Chowan, Craven, Currituck, Dare, Gates, Hertford, Hyde, New Hanover, Onslow,
Pamlico, Pasquotank, Pender, Perquimans, Tyrrell, and Washington Counties,
North Carolina, U.S. Army Engineer District, Wilmington.
1. Operating Procedures:
a. Applications for State and Federal authorizations will be accepted
directly and simultaneously by both the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management (NCDCM) and the Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers (Corps).
Receipt of a complete application by the NCDCM will initiate field review to
T .
-2-
include a site visit and preparation of an Environmental Consultant's Field
Report. Receipt of an application by the Corps will initiate Federal review.
Immediately upon receipt by the Corps, an application will be assigned an
identification number, acknowledged, and the appropriate Corps Area
Coordinator will examine the application to assure that it can be processed
pursuant to this general permit. The applicant and the NCDCM will be
furnished written notification of the Area Coordinator's determination.
Notification to the applicant will include a brief description of the
administrative process. For those proposals which may result in a discharge
into the waters of the United States, the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management (NCDEM) and the applicant will be informed regarding
the applicant's need to obtain a Water Quality Certification in accordance
with Section 401 of the Clean Water Act.
b. The NCDCM Environmental Consultant's Field Report will be furnished by
the respective NCDCM Regional Offices to the Corps. The Corps will provide
copies of this Field Report to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), and the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA). Receipt of the Report will initiate the Federal
agencies' review. The agencies will be provided sufficient time by the Corps,
normally 30 days, before their comments or recommendations, including any
recommended modifications or conditions necessary to make the proposal
acceptable, must be received by the Corps. Should the agencies not comment
within the review period, it will be assumed they offer no objections.
Extensions of time will be granted for agency review only if justified by
unusual circumstances. If an extension is granted that would delay a NCDCM
decision by the date on which an NCDCM decision must be made, the application
may be removed from this general permit.
c. The permit review process conducted by the NCDCM is a public process
involving public notices in local newspapers, public hearings, and various
public appeal procedures. In order to further inform the public, the Corps
will distribute, at intervals of approximately two weeks, an additional public
notice listing those permit applications received and being considered by
NCDCM and the Corps of Engineers under this general permit since the preceding
notice. The notice will invite, for a period of not less than 15 days, public
comment and/or requests for additional information and for public hearings.
All comments will be considered in the overall State/Corps decision on the
permit.
d. This general permit does not, in any way, alter established procedures
or responsibilities, as required by Federal laws, memoranda of agreement, or
administrative regulations with respect to the Corps' coordination with the
review agencies. The applicant will continue to have the opportunity to rebut
objections to the proposal.
-3-
e. After agency comments are received, they will be reviewed by the Corps
and a coordinated Federal position will be prepared and furnished to the the
NCDCM, Raleigh, within 45 days after receipt of the State Environmental Field
Consultant's Report. The coordinated Federal position will include all
conditions (including recommendations for denial) recommended by the three
Federal agencies listed in paragraph b. (above) unless a changed or omitted
condition has the prior written agreement of the affected agency.
f. In those cases where the Corps does not concur with conditions or
recommendations of one or more of the three listed Federal agencies, no
coordinated Federal position will be furnished to NCDCM until and unless
Federal agency agreement has been reached including, if necessary, entering
into the referral procedures outlined by current memoranda of agreement
between the Army and the respective agencies. The three agencies will be
furnished a copy of the coordinated Federal position at the time they are
furnished to NCDCM.
g. If the conditions (including recommendations for denial) from the
review agencies are unacceptable to the NCDCM, the NCDCM will contact the
Corps within 10 days of receipt of the Federal position to resolve the
conflict. If resolution of the conflict involves changes to the conditions or
recommendations provided by the Federal agencies, the provisions of paragraphs
e. and f. (above) will apply, including the procedures of the memoranda of
agreement, if appropriate. If the conflict is resolved to the satisfaction of
the Corps and other affected review agencies, the NCDCM permit will be issued
and the authority of the general permit will apply.
h. If the conflict is not resolved within the time necessary for a
decision by NCDCM, NCDCM may proceed, independently, to conclude the State
action without inclusion of the Federal position. In this case, the applicant
and the NCDCM will be notified immediately in writing that the State permit
does not satisfy the Federal permit requirements and that the project in
question may not proceed in the absence of Federal authorization.
i. If the coordinated Federal position is not in conflict with State
agency positions, law, regulation, or policy and is otherwise acceptable to
the NCDCM, a State permit will be developed by the NCDCM fully incorporating
the State and Federal positions. Copies of the permit will be furnished to
the applicant and the Corps. When required, a copy of the Section 401 Water
Quality Certification will be furnished to the applicant and the Corps.
Issuance of both the NCDCM permit and the NCDEM 401 Certification, if
required, must precede validation of this general permit by the District
Engineer or his representative.
-4-
J. If the NCDCM permit or Section 401 Water Quality Certification is
