Issued to white Pl ai nsz Inc, Route 1, Box 205, Engelhard, NC 27824
authorizing development in _ Hyde County at white Plains Canal off of SR 1108
as requested in the permittee's application dated 2/26/86 including
attached plats, sheets 1-6 of 6 (as numbered by DCM)
This permit, issued on 'I !' , is subject to compliance with the application (where consistent
with the permit), all applicable regulations, special conditions and notes set forth below. Any violation of these terms may subject
permittee to a fine, imprisonment or civil action; or may cause the permit to be null and void.
(1) a) This permit authorizes only twelve (12) residential units of the 144
depicted on the application plats. Construction of additional units
and the "future club house" will require a modification of this permit,
due primarily to the need for additional review of a water supply system
to serve the expansion. The permittee should consider a community water
system, approved by the Division of Health Services, or connection to
the county system when such system has adequate capacity.
b) This permit further authorizes, under the total development review of
the CAMA, a setiage treatment plant as approved by the Division of Environ-
mental Management, general land scaping and infra-structure as shown
on the attached plats, a private well to serve the first phase of construc-
tion described in Condition #1 and erosion control features as approved
by the Division of Land Resources.
(2) The activity shall be conducted in such a manner as to prevent significant
increases in turbidity outside the area of construction or construction-related
(See attached sheet for Additional Condition
This permit action may be appealed by the permittee
or other qualified persons within twenty (20) days of the
issuing date. An appeal requires resolution prior to work
initiation or continuance, as the case may be.
This permit must be accessible on-site to Department
personnel when the project is inspected for compliance.
Any maintenance work or project modification
not covered hereunder requires further Departmental
approval.
All work must cease when the permit expires on
December 31, 1989
In issuing this permit, the State of North Carolina
agrees that your project is consistent with the North
Carolina Coastal Management Program.
Signed by the authority of the Secretary of DNRCD and
the Chairman of the Coastal Resources Commission.
David W. Owens, Director
Division of Coastal Management
This permit and its conditions are hereby accepted.
Signature of Permittee
White Plains, Inc.
ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS

discharge (increases of 25 NTUs or less are not considered significant).
(3) The reduction in units that are to be constructed does not remove the requirement
to maintain, in perpetuity, erosion and sedimentation controls throughout
project site so as to provide water quality protection described in Condition
#2, above.
NOTE: The permittee has provided reasonable evidence of an adequate volume of
water for the twelve units authorized herein. It is recommended that
the quality of potable water be assured by treatment as necessary.
NOTE: An encroachment agreement may be required from the Dept. of Transportation,
Division of Highways to place a sewage line on tre SR 1108 bridge. Contact
the D.O.T. Right-of-Way Branch at 919/733-7694 in Raleigh.
NOTE: A Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan has beE!n approved for the project
by the Division of Land Resources.
NOTE: A slow rate spray irrigation system for sewage disposal is virtually certain
to lead to massive mosquito populations, especially in this area where
water evaporation/penetration is likely to be slow. Stormwater runoff
into wetlands may also produce mosquitoes. Proximity to large, natural
salt marsh may leave residents prey to unexpected or uunusually high mosquito
levels. For information regarding appropriate mosquito measures, the
applicant should contact the Vector Control E;ranch at [phone].
NOTE: The Division of Environmental Management has issued non-discharging permit
#13287 for the development of a sewage treatment plant with capacity
to serve future construction up to 48 units. Additional capacity would
require a modification of that permit.

MEMORANDUM
TO: John Parker
FROM: Bill Mills.
SUBJECT: Application for C-V% Permit
White Plains Development
Hyde County
This memo confirms our earlier discussion regarding the wastewater
treatment facility proposed for White Plains, Inc. While the DEM permit
for sewage disposal has not been issued to date, we do not foresee
problems in issuing our permit once certain engineering problems have
been resolved. The soils at the site for the ultimate disposal of the
effluent are acceptable according to our field office and the permit
should be issued soon.
We have no objection to the CAMA permit issuance.

In reviewing the subject file, I was interested to note that D.E.M. submitted
a standard "no objection" response on this SA water project. In checking
with your field office, I have determined that there is some question
by staff as to what type of sewage treatment system will serve the project.
The application calls for a slow rate land acquisition system.
If there is any question as to the applicant's intent, then our application
is incomplete. By Rule of the CRC we can place the project on hold.
Please advise this office at the earliest possible time as to your Division's

Environmental Setting
White Plains Inc, is the owner of a 74.3 acre tract of land in Hyde County which is
bordered by SR 1108 on the north side, a + 10' wide drainage ditch and dirt road on
the east side, the Pamlico Sound on the south side, and a + 70' wide by + 10' in depth
canal, which is known locally as Rattlesnake Canal, or White Plains Canal, on the
west side.
Rattlesnake Canal has been owned and developed since the mid 1970's by Mr. Roland
Dale. Various state permits have been issued to Mr. Dale for the development.
Existing today on the west side of the canal is a + 200' x + 100' boat basin which
can moor ± 24 boats, boat ramp, various cocks and piers, restaurant, several mobile
homes, and camper trailer lots. Much of the surrounding land is parking area and
agricultural fields. Significant wetland areas bordering Pamlico Sound are present
near the southern end of the canal.
The development which is being proposed by White Plains Inc. is located entirely on
the east side of the canal except for the sewage treatment facility which will be
placed in an agricultural area on the west side of the canal.
The White Plains Inc. property consists of two distinct areas where the project is
proposed. The first area is one which has been denuded of most of the vegetation.
Significant land disturbing activities have occurred in preparation for the develop-
ment. The other area is a stand of loblolly pine, + 30' in height, much of which
has an understory of Garex sip., Myrtles, Iva, and other wetland species. The
understory also has a heavy accumulation of pine straw litter. The wetland under-
story is probably occurring due to the area being poorly drained. The property has
an average elevation of + 2.5' above the normal water level.
Of the 74.3 acres owned by White Plains Inc., only 34.0 acres, the area previously
described, will be utilized in the proposed project. The remaining acreage is a marsh
area which is dominated by Juncus roenerianus. The area is located on the southern
end of the property bordering Pamlico Sound. No development is proposed within the
marsh area.
Proiect Proposal
The applicant is proposing the following:
(1) The development of 144 multi family units on 34 acres of land on the east side
of White Plains Canal. The units will be constructed of wooden materials. The
development will occur in phases as follows. Phase I - Construction of units 1 through
6 and 13 through 18 as numbered on the site plan; Phase II - Construction of units
7 through 12 and 19 through 24 as numbered on the site plan; Phase III - Construction
of units in a south-easterly direction in groups of 6 or 12 units as sales progress.
(2) Sewage - Sewage treatment will consist of a short tern mound subsurface injected
system, which will be replaced by 40,000 GPD slow rate spray i=igation land applica-
tion treatment system. The sewage treatment facilities will be located on a three
and one-half acre site on the west side of White Plains Canal. The sewage line will
cross the canal by attachment to the existing bridge which crosses the canal on
SR 1108. The pipe will be placed at an elevation so as not to impede navigation.
Permission must be obtained from the N.C. Department of Transportation for this action.

(3) Domestic Water - Domestic water is available from the Hyde County water system.
(4) Stone Water Runoff - A storm water runoff system will be installed one phase in
advance of the construction area. From the infonnation provided it appears that
some of the runoff will be directed into an existing retention pond, and some of the
runoff will be routed to the eastern property line ditch where it will then be pumped
across a wooded area and wetlands. A new ditch and bern system will be constructed
along the White Plains Canal to prevent runoff from entering the canal. However,
any discharge from the retention pond will enter the canal.
Environmental Impact
Environmental concerns about the project consist of the following:
(1) The effects that storm water runoff may have on the water quality of Pamlico
Sound which is classified "SA" by the N.C. Division of Environmental Management.
Commercial quantities of shellfish are located within the sound near the project.
(2) The loss of the wetland understory beneath the pine areas on the project site.
This area is dominated by upland vegetation, thus having the characteristics of such.
(3) The adequacy of the proposed temporary sewage treatment system, and the adequacy
of the permanent sewage system in regards to what effect both may have on adjacent
water quality in White Plains Canal and the Pamlico Sound.
