You have our approval to place fill material in 200 square feet of wetlands or waters for the
purpose of installing a bulkhead at 192 Sailfish Drive, Holden Beach, as you described in your
application dated 14 June 1995. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is
covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 2665. This certification allows you to use
Nationwide Permit Number 13 when it is issued by the Corps of Engineers.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If
you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application.
For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification. In
addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your
project.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory
hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing,
send a written petition which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the

9. PROTECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is located at 192 Sailfish Drive (Lot 324), Harbor Acres Subdivision, on Holden Beach,
in Brunswick County, North Carolina. Harbor Acres Subdivision is oriented around a system of five
finger canals, which are connected to the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. The lot is 50 feet wide and
160 feet in depth. There is an existing single-family residence on the property, and the waterfront
shoreline is stabilized by an existing bulkhead. There is an existing pier and dock, and an old boat ramp
located between and on, the applicant's lot and the adjacent lot to the east. The boat ramp has been in
disuse for some time. It and the existing bulkhead are in need of repair. Waterward of the bulkhead and
into the old boat ramp, there is a border of Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora), varying in width
from 8 to 12 feet. The boat ramp is approximately 10 feet wide and indents into the lots approximately
28 feet. It has a sloped earthen bottom, and some Svartina alterniflora has colonized the lower 8 feet
of the boat ramp. This vegetation is not solid across the ramp, probably due to the shading effects of
adjacent shrubbery and Wax Myrtles. High marsh coastal wetland species, Limonium, spp., Salicornia,
spp., Borrichia frutescens, were observed interspersed over the sand/mud bottom, through the middle
portion of the ramp. The bulkhead on the adjacent property (lot 323) has recently been replaced.
The waters adjacent to the project area are classified SA, by the N. C. Division of Environmental
Management, and they are CLOSED to the harvest of shellfish. The waters are not designated as
Primary Nursery Area by the N. C. Division of Marine Fisheries.
The applicant proposes to replace the existing bulkhead on the same alignment, and construct a new
section of bulkhead across the mouth of the old boat ramp, connecting the two corners of the existing
bulkheads. The old boat ramp would be back-filled to the elevation of the adjacent yards. The applicant
has the permission of the adjacent property owner to fill in the old boat ramp.
10. ANTICIPATED PACTS
The proposed project would incorporate approximately 80 square feet of Spartina alterniflora, and
approximately 120 square feet of mixed species, high marsh vegetation.

Dear Mr. Dorney:
Enclosed is the application of Ms. Bonnie Steptoe, represented by
Mr. Thomas W. Morgan, for Department of the Army (DA) authorization and a
State Water Quality Certification to replace, extend and backf ill a bulkhead
and maintain a pier and floating dock on a canal off the Atlantic Intracoastal
Waterway (AIWW), Holden Beach, Brunswick County, North Carolina. Your receipt
of this letter verifies your acceptance of a valid request for certification
by 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.
According to our administrative regulations, 60 days is reasonable for
State action. Therefore, if you have not acted on the request, or asked for an
extension of time, by July 31, 1995, the District Engineer will deem that
waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Jeff Richter, Wilmington

May 30, 1995

The Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your application for State
approval for development of your client's property located at 192 Sailfish Dr., Holden Beach, in
Brunswick County, North Carolina. It was received on May 24, 1995 and appears to be adequate for
processing at this time. The projected deadline for making a decision is August 7, 1995. An additional
75-day review period is provided by law when such time is necessary to complete the review. If you
have not been notified of a final action by the initial deadline stated above, you should consider the
review period extended. Under those circumstances, this letter will serve as your notice of an extended
review. However, an additional letter will be provided on or about the 75th day.
NCGS 113A-119(b) requires that Notice of an application be posted at the location of the
proposed development. Enclosed you will find a "Notice of Permit Filing" postcard which must be
posted at the property of your proposed development. You should post this notice at a conspicuous
point along your property where it can be observed from a public road. Some examples would be:
Nailing the notice card to a telephone pole or tree along the road right-of-way fronting your property;
or at a point along the road right-of-way where a private road would lead one into your property.
Failure to post this notice could result in an incomplete application.
A field report has been prepared and is in the process of being circulated to the various state and
federal review agencies for their comments. If additional information is required based on this review,
the agencies may contact you directly.

9. PROTECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is located at 192 Sailfish Drive (Lot 324), Harbor Acres Subdivision, on Holden Beach,
in Brunswick County, North Carolina. Harbor Acres Subdivision is oriented around a system of five
finger canals, which are connected to the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. The lot is 50 feet wide and
160 feet in depth. There is an existing single-family residence on the property, and the waterfront
shoreline is stabilized by an existing bulkhead. There is an existing pier and dock, and an old boat ramp
located between and on, the applicant's lot and the adjacent lot to the east. The boat ramp has been in
disuse for some time. It and the existing bulkhead are in need of repair. Waterward of the bulkhead and
into the old boat ramp, there is a border of Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora), varying in width
from 8 to 12 feet. The boat ramp is approximately 10 feet wide and indents into the lots approximately
28 feet. It has a sloped earthen bottom, and some Spartina alterniflora has colonized the lower 8 feet
of the boat ramp. This vegetation is not solid across the ramp, probably due to the shading effects of
adjacent shrubbery and Wax Myrtles. High marsh coastal wetland species, Limonium, spp., Salicomia,
spp., Borrichia fnrtescens, were observed interspersed over the sand/mud bottom, through the middle
portion of the ramp. The bulkhead on the adjacent property (lot 323) has recently been replaced.
The waters adjacent to the project area are classified SA, by the N. C. Division of Environmental
Management, and they are CLOSED to the harvest of shellfish. The waters are not designated as
Primary Nursery Area by the N. C. Division of Marine Fisheries.
The applicant proposes to replace the existing bulkhead on the same alignment, and construct a new
section of bulkhead across the mouth of the old boat ramp, connecting the two comers of the existing
bulkheads. The old boat ramp would be back-filled to the elevation of the adjacent yards. The applicant
