APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Mr. Bruce Cardwell
Sea Aire Canal P.O.A.
1963 W. Sea Aire Canal S.W.
Supply, NC 28462
FIL F.,
Dear Mr. Cardwell:
You have our approval to conduct maintenance dredging by hydraulic dredge and discharge from
an upland diked disposal basin in order to dredge the Sea Aire Canal at the end of 1236, as you
described in your application dated 5 September 1995. After reviewing your application, we have
decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 2668. This certification
allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 16 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
Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and
its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Environmental Management under Section 401
of the Clean Water Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Domey at 919-733-1786.
Si rely,
P ston Howard, Jr. P.E.

Sea Aire Canal P.O.A.

9. PROTECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is located at the end SR 1236, off Seashore Road, approximately one (1) mile west of
the Holden Beach Intracoastal Waterway bridge, in Brunswick County, NC. The project area consists
of an existing subdivision which has 67 single-family lots oriented around a "T" shaped boat basin. The
basin is approximately 1480 feet long (east-west) and 180 feet wide, except on the west end, where the
width expands to 290 feet. There is an entrance channel (450 ft. X 75 ft.) perpendicular from the center
of the canal, extending into the AIWW. Most of the lots have existing houses and private piers, and
have their shorelines stabilized with bulkheads. There is a narrow, discontinuous border of Smooth
Cordgrass (Spartina alternifloral along portions of the basin's shoreline, as well as, the entrance channel
and AIWW shorelines. In past years, there has been accelerated siltation of the entrance channel from
adjacent unstabilized, eroding shorelines. Those lots have recently been bulkheaded by their respective
owners. The development is served by the Brunswick County water system, and wastewater disposal
is by individual septic tank systems.
The waters in the project area are classified SA, by the N.C. Division of Environmental Management
and are OPEN to the harvest of shellfish. The basin is not designated as a Primary Nursery Area by
the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries.
The Sea Aire Canal Property Owners propose to perform maintenance excavation within the existing
entrance channel and boat basin. The excavated channel would be 1400 feet long and 75 feet wide,
located in the center of the 180 feet wide basin. The entrance channel would be 450 feet long and 75
feet wide. Both areas would be excavated to a depth of -6 feet at MLW. These are the same dimensions
previously permitted by State Permit #48-84. A hydraulic dredge would be used to complete the
excavation, and the spoil material would be pumped to an existing diked disposal area, located on the
south side of the AIWW, approximately one (1) mile west of the project site. The spoils disposal area
is approximately 200 feet long and averages 700 feet in width, and is an active USACOE disposal area
for AIWW maintenance work. The applicants have permission from the Corps and the property owner
to utilize the spoil disposal area for their project.
10. ANTICIPATED EMPACTS
The project would disturb approximately 3.2 acres of previously dredged bottom, and create 19,611
cubic yards of spoil material. There would be some short-term turbidity associated with the dredging
activity, but no long-term adverse impacts are expected, provided the project is timed to avoid periods
of peak biological activity.

Enclosed is the application of the Sea Aire Canal Property Owners
Association for Department of the Army authorization and a State Water Quality
Certification to maintenance dredge 19,611 cubic yards of spoil material from
approximately 3.2 acres of tidal non-vegetated bottom located in Sea Aire
Canal, off of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW), on the mainland side
of the AIWW at Holden's Beach, near Supply, in Brunswick County, North
Carolina. The spoil material is to be placed on a diked disposal area
approximately on mile from the work site. 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 November 6, 1995, the District Engineer will deem that
waiver has occurred.
Should you have any questions or comments, please contact me at telephone

Sea Aire Canal P.O.A.
Page 2
9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is located at the end SR 1236, off Seashore Road, approximately one (1) mile west of
the Holden Beach Intracoastal Waterway bridge, in Brunswick County, NC. The project area consists
of an existing subdivision which has 67 single-family lots oriented around a "T" shaped boat basin. The
basin is approximately 1480 feet long (east-west) and 180 feet wide, except on the west end, where the
width expands to 290 feet. There is an entrance channel (450 ft. X 75 ft.) perpendicular from the center
of the canal, extending into the AIWW. Most of the lots have existing houses and private piers, and
have their shorelines stabilized with bulkheads. There is a narrow, discontinuous border of Smooth
Cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) along portions of the basin's shoreline, as well as, the entrance channel
and AIWW shorelines. In past years, there has been accelerated siltation of the entrance channel from
adjacent unstabilized, eroding shorelines. Those lots have recently been bulkheaded by their respective
owners. The development is served by the Brunswick County water system, and wastewater disposal
is by individual septic tank systems.
The waters in the project area are classified SA, by the N.C. Division of Environmental Management
and are OPEN to the harvest of shellfish. The basin is not designated as a Primary Nursery Area by
the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries.
The Sea Aire Canal Property Owners propose to perform maintenance excavation within the existing
entrance channel and boat basin. The excavated channel would be 1400 feet long and 75 feet wide,
located in the center of the 180 feet wide basin. The entrance channel would be 450 feet long and 75
feet wide. Both areas would be excavated to a depth of -6 feet at MLW. These are the same dimensions
previously permitted by State Permit #48-84. A hydraulic dredge would be used to complete the
excavation, and the spoil material would be pumped to an existing diked disposal area, located on the
south side of the AIWW, approximately one (1) mile west of the project site. The spoils disposal area
is approximately 200 feet long and averages 700 feet in width, and is an active USACOE disposal area
for AIWW maintenance work. The applicants have permission from the Corps and the property owner
to utilize the spoil disposal area for their project.
10. ANTICIPATED UYTACTS
The project would disturb approximately 3.2 acres of previously dredged bottom, and create 19,611
cubic yards of spoil material. There would be some short-term turbidity associated with the dredging
activity, but no long-term adverse impacts are expected, provided the project is timed to avoid periods
of peak biological activity.
