City. This area of fill was not part of the request for CAMA Permit No. 78-95 (Berth No. 1 Expansion)
but this area is within the boundaries originally permitted under CAMA Permit No. 182-88. The
applicant is also proposing the modification of upland areas to allow for the transfer and storage of bulk
cargo.

RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OR PERMIT RESTRICTIONS:
Please find the attached additional information request from this Office dated December 11,
1995. A response to these concerns was received on December 13, 1995 by fax and is also
attached.
Although this project will result in a substantial amount of intertidal area being filled, the fact
that this project was previously approved in 1988, and the fact that mitigation for these impacts
has already been completed by the NC State Ports Authority, this Office has no major objections
to the proposal. Conversations with the Groundwater Section indicate that there is an area of
groundwater contamination at the old storage tank site at Berth No. 1. Migration of this
contaminant plume is not expected due to the nature (#6 fuel oil) and location of the material
and the fact that the area will be completely covered with asphalt paving. It is also felt that
construction of the berm should further insure that the contaminant plume does not reach surface
waters.
The 401 Certification should contain the following conditions for the filling of waters and
wetlands of the Newport River.
1. That the fill material be from a clean upland source free of toxic materials.
2. That silt curtains and other erosion controls be in place prior to any earthen movement
in the area.
3. That the riprap material used for toe protection be of such size so as not able to be
carried off by wave action and consist of clean rock or masonry material free of toxic
pollutants.
4. That measures will be taken to prevent live or fresh concrete from coming in contact
with surface waters until the concrete has hardened.
5. That the project shall be done in such a manner so as to not cause turbidity outside the
immediate construction area to exceed 25 NTU.

From: James H. Gregson
Wilmington Regional Office
Through: Dave Adkins
Wilmington Regional Office
Subject: Morehead City Terminals, Inc.
DEM Project No. 951203
A preliminary review of the subject indicates the following additional information is
needed in order for this Office to provide final comments on the CAMA Permit Application.
1. An explanation of why an earthen berm was selected for containment of the
backfill material instead of a concrete sheet pile bulkhead. This Office has
concerns over the placement of unconsolidated fill material in the surface waters.
2. A detailed narrative of the construction sequence indicating the manner in which
the earthen berm will be constructed. This should include all measures that will
be employed to prevent turbidity standard violations
3. An illustration of the construction of the grouted mattress with an explanation of
what measures will be taken to prevent live or fresh concrete from entering
surface waters.

Dear Mr. Parker:
OF RF06,?Fo
1995
Reference the application of Morehead City Terminals, Inc. for a
Department of the Army permit to expand Berth 1 at the Morehead City State
Ports facility by filling approximately 200 square feet of vegetated wetlands
and approximately 14,000 square feet of non-vegetated shallow bottom open
water for the purpose of constructing a bulk storage and transfer operation on
the Newport River, in Morehead City, Carteret County, North Carolina.
The Federal agencies have completed review of the proposal as presented
by the application and your field investigation report.
We recommend that the following condition(s) be included in the State
authorization:
All work authorized by this permit must be performed in strict
compliance with the permit plans.
No vegetated wetlands other than the 200 square feet identified in the
permit drawings will be excavated or filled.
The temporary placement or double handling of excavated or fill
materials within waters or vegetated wetlands is not authorized.
The fill material will be clean and free of any pollutants except in
trace quantities. Metal products, organic materials, or unsightly debris will
not be used.
This permit does not authorize the interference with any existing or
proposed Federal project, and the permittee will not be entitled to
compensation for damage or injury to the authorized structure or work which
may be caused from existing or future operations undertaken by the United
States in the public interest.
No attempt will be made by the permittee to prevent the full and free
use by the public of all navigable waters at or adjacent to the authorized
work. Use of the permitted activity must not interfere with the public's
right to free navigation on all navigable waters of the United States.
It is possible that the authorized structure may be damaged by wavewash
from passing vessels. The issuance of this permit does not relieve the
permittee from taking all proper steps to ensure the integrity of the
Printed on ® Recyebd Paper

permitted structure and the safety of moored boats. The permittee will not
hold the United States liable for any such damage.
The permitter will maintain the authorized work in good condition and in
conformance with the terms and conditions of this permit. The permittee is
not relieved of this requirement if he abandons the permitted activity without
having it transferred to a third party.
The authorized structure and associated activity will not cause an
unacceptable interference with navigation.
The activity will be conducted in such a manner as to prevent a
significant increase in turbidity outside the area of construction or
construction-related discharge. Increases such that the turbidity in the
waterbody is 50 NTU'¦ or lose in all rivers not designated as trout waters by
the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDNM), 25 NTU's or
less in all saltwater classes and in all lakes and reservoirs, and 10 NTU's or
less in trout waters, are not considered significant.
If the permittee discovers any previously unknown historic or
archeological remains while accomplishing the authorized work, he will
immediately notify the Wilmington District Engineer who will initiate the
required State/Federal coordination.
If possible, under applicable law, the permittee will incorporate this
permit as part of the documents reflecting title to or interest in the real
property affected.
This Department of the Army permit does not obviate the need to obtain
other Federal, State, or local authorizations required by law.
This permit does not grant any property rights or exclusive privileges.
In issuing this permit, the Federal Government does not assume any
liability for:
a. Damages to the permitted project or uses thereof as a result of
other permitted or unpermitted activities or from natural causes.
b. Damages to the permitted project or uses thereof as a result of
current or future Federal activities initiated on behalf of the general
public.
c. Damages to other permitted or unpermitted activities or structures
caused by the authorized activity.
work.
d. Design and construction deficiencies associated with the permitted
e. Damage claims associated with any future modification, suspension,
or revocation of this permit.

Please find die attached additional inf nmadon request from this Office dated Doaomber 11,
1995. A rrapomao to those conewns was received on Dooerabor 13, 1995 by fax and is also
attached-
Although thin projed will result in a substantial amount of intertidal area being filled, the Pact
that this psojeot was previously approved in 1988, and the tact that mitigation for these impacts
has already been completed by tho NC State Porte Authority, this Office has no major objections
to the proposal. Conveasations with IM Groundwater Section indicate that there is an area of
grm dwater OOmtamination at the old storage tank site at Berth No. I. MigmtIon of this
contaminant plume is not expected due to the nature 06 fad oil) and location of the mate+rw
and the fact that the are will be oomploWy coveored with asphalt paving. It is also felt that
c oamuctlon of the berm should further insure that the contaminant plume does not reach surface
waters.
The 401 Certification should contain the following conditions for the filling of waters and
wetlands of tbo Newport River.
1. That the fill material be from a clean upland source frna of toxic materials.
2. That silt curtains, and odwr erosion controls be in place prior to any earthen movoment
in the area.
3. That the ripratp material used for too protection be of such size so as not able to be
coyied off by wave aeon and consist of clean rock or masonry material free of toxic
poRatants.
4. That mcaautos will be talacn to prevent live or f4esh concrete frown conning in contact
with surface waters until the concrete has hardened.
5. That the project shall be done in such a manner so as to not cause turbidity outside the
immediate cattstavction area to exceed 25 NTU.

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
MOREHEAD CITY TERMINALS, INC.
PAGE #2
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: Morehead City Terminal, Inc. is an authorized agent for the NC
State Ports Authority and is requesting a major modification of CAMA Permit No. 78-95. This
permit was issued to the SPA and authorized the completion of Berth No. 1 at the Morehead City
Terminal. The modification being proposed will allow for the establishment of a bulk storage area
with associated equipment to transfer the product to waiting ships. The facility will first be used for
wood chips but could be modified in the future for other bulk cargo. The project can be divided into
two components: the expansion of Berth No. 1 into the Newport River and the modification of
uplands to provide a suitable staging area for the bulk cargo.
In 1987, a portion of Berth 1 suddenly collapsed into the Newport River jeopardizing a fuel tank
farm. After an analysis of future needs, The SPA prepared an Environmental Assessment, as
required under the NC State Environmental Policy Act, (SEPA) and applied for a CAMA permit to
reconfigure and expand Berth 1. CAMA Permit No. 182-88 was issued to the SPA and authorized
the excavation of approx. 5.7 acres of the Newport River, the bulkheading and filling of approx. 2.1
acres of the Newport River and approx..12 acres of wetlands, the establishment of a paved hardstand
area and the extension of a stormwater outlet pipe. Mitigation was required and included the creation
of approx. 2.2 acres of spartina alterniflora wetlands on a dredged spoil island and the creation of a
hard rock habitat area along the slope of the dredged area. Shortly after construction began, the lease
holder of the railroad trestle and track initiated legal proceedings to halt the construction and
excavation activities: A compromised was ultimately reach which reduced the size of the excavation
and fill areas. The excavation was completed, a grouted mattress was installed for slope protection
and a portion of Berth 1 was bulkheaded. The paved hardstand area was eliminated in order to
comply with stormwater rules. Additionally, the mitigation requirements of establishing wetlands on
the spoil disposal island were completed. The SPA recently receive CAMA Permit No. 78-95 which
authorizes the completion of Berth 1.
The applicant is now requesting a permit to fill an additional area of the Newport River which was
not authorized under CAMA Permit No. 78-95 but within the boundaries originally permitted by
CAMA Permit No. 182-88 before legal proceedings were initiated by the railroad tenant. The area to
be filled below the mean high water line is up to approx. 100' long x 150' wide and is mostly
intertidal or shallow water habitat areas. Also located within this fill area is approx. 200 ft.2 of
spartina altemiflora vegetation and scattered amounts of oysters. The present shoreline of the area is
stabilized with varying amounts of stone riprap. The toe of the proposed fill is to be stabilized with
an approx. 25' wide grouted mattress cover similar to the design used for the basin slope protection
except at the railroad trestle where a timber retaining wall is proposed. The berth expansion would
be accomplished by first placing a floating silt curtain immediately waterward of the proposed fill and
then constructing an earthen dike inside the silt curtain. The grouted mattress would then be placed
on the waterward slope of the dike and the area inside would then be filled.

The purpose of increasing the size of the Berth is to provide an expanded area which would be
suitable for the establishment of a bulk handling storage area with the area initially being used for the
storage and transfer of woodchips. The majority of the storage and transfer area will be located
within the confines of the old fuel tank farm which was, until recently, located immediately to the
west of Berth 1. The tanks have been torn down and are in the process of being transported off the
site as scrap. This, combined with an adjacent undeveloped piece of property and Berth No. 1, will
result in approx 5 acres of land area being disturbed. Of that total, approx. 4.5 acres will be asphalt
hardstand with the remaining areas either gravel or grass. The applicant has calculated that approx.
65% of the area within the Estuarine Shoreline Area of Environmental Concern will be impervious
and approx. 90% of the entire site will be built upon. A Stormwater Management Plan for this
development has been approved by the Division of Environmental Management. This plan will
utilize a collection system and an existing wastewater monitoring station and discharge system. An
existing underground 42" stormwater pipe will be extended through the project area and will continue
to discharge stormwater from other areas of the State Ports into the Newport River. Besides the
asphalt hardstand, the upland development will include a truck dump hopper, a reclaim conveyor,
retaining wall, sloped transfer conveyor and an elevated stacking conveyor.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The project as proposed will result in the filling of approx. 14,000 ft.2
of intertidal and shallow water habitat areas of the Newport River. Include within the fill area is
approx. 200 ft.2 of spartina alterniora and scattered amounts of oysters. It is not know if clam
resources are present in the sandy/silt substrate. The proposed fill area represents an expansion of
Berth 1 as permitted by CAMA Permit No. 78-95 but would be less than the fill footprint authorized
by CAMA Permit No. 182-88. CAMA Permit No. 182-88 was subject to the requirements of SEPA
and mitigation was required and subsequently completed by the SPA. The filling of the area beyond
the mean high water line is proposed to be accomplished by first installing a floating silt curtain and
then creating an earthen dike around its perimeter. The grouted mattress would then be installed.
The floating silt curtain may not, however, be suitable in preventing dike erosion from occurring
during tidal and wind fluctuations. The upland development will cause approx. 5 acres of land
disturbance with approx. 4.5 acres of asphalt hardstand and other built upon surfaces being placed on
the site. The applicant has calculated that approx. 65% of the Estuarine Shoreline AEC will be
covered with impervious surfaces and that approx. 90% of the site will be built upon. A Stormwater
Management Plan has been developed and approved by the Division of Environmental Management.
An existing stormwater discharge pipe will be extended through the project and will continue to
discharge into the Newport River. This project will not be tied into this discharge point but rather an
existing one located south of the project site. The bulk storage area will initially be used for the
storage and transfer of woodchips but in the future may be used for other

products. The project will also require a modification of existing air quality permits issued to SPA
by the Division of Environmental Management. It would be anticipated that other products stored on
the site could require additional modifications to existing air and water quality permits. The project
will result in some increase in rail and truck traffic using the State Port but it is not expected to cause
any significant impacts. A Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan has been developed and approved
for this development.

1988 (previous area denoted on permit drawing Sheet 2). This proposed project will fill a portion
of the above area previously authorized to be filled. Mitigation measures were undertaken
including development of a subtidal / intertidal spartina marsh on "Marsh Island" which is located
approximately 1000 yards north of the Berth 1 site.

PERMIT AND WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION ???Nr,?; ` f99S
The Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources hereby gives public
notice as required by NCGS 113A-119(b) and 143-215 3(a)(1)(c) that Morehead City
Terminals, Inc. of Carteret Country, filed an application on November 7, 1995, for a permit
from the Division of Coastal Management to develop in an Area of Environmental Concern
and for certification from the Division of Environmental Management that a discharge of fill
material in project wetlands will not violate applicable water quality standards.
According to said application, the applicant proposes to expand Berth One by filling
an area of the Newport River and to construct a bulk cargo and transfer facility at the NC
State Ports Morehead City Terminal. The facility will first be used for the storage of
woodchips.
A copy of the entire application and additional information may be examined (or
copies furnished upon request and payment of reproduction costs) during normal business
hours at the office of Charles Jones, Division of Coastal Management, located in the
Division of Marine Fisheries Building, Morehead City, N.C., [phone], and/or the
office of Rich Shiver, Division of Environmental Management, DEHNR Regional Field
Office, Wilmington, N.C., [phone].
The Division of Environmental Management proposes to take final action on this
water quality certification on or before December 8, 1995. The issuance of the CAMA
Major Development permit and the Section 401 Certification may deviate from this projected
date depending upon the nature of the comments submitted and subsequent hearings that may
result.
All persons desiring to make comments should do so in writing to Roger N. Schecter,
Director, Division of Coastal Management, P.O. Box 27687, Raleigh, N.C., 27611, prior to
December 3, 1995 for consideration in the CAMA permit decision, and to Preston Howard,
Director, Division of Environmental Management, P.O. Box 27687, Raleigh, N.C., 27611,
prior to November 28, 1995 for consideration in the water quality certification decision.
Later comments on the CAMA application will be accepted and considered up to the time of
permit decision. Project modifications may occur based on review and comment by the
public and state and federal agencies. Notice of the permit decision in this matter will be
provided upon request.

Dear Mr. Dorney:
Enclosed is the application of Morehead City Terminals, Inc. for
Department of the Army authorization and a State Water Quality Certification
to expand berth 1 by filling approximately 200 square feet of vegetated
wetlands and approximately 14,000 square feet of non-vegetated shallow bottom
open water for the purpose of constructing a bulk storage and transfer
operation on the Newport River, in Morehead City, 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.
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 January 29, 1996, the District Engineer will deem that
waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Jeff Richter, Wilmington Field
Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone].

8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing to expand Berth No. 1 into the Newport River
and to construct a bulk storage and transfer operation on adjacent properties. This facility will be
first be used for the storage of woodchips.

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
MOREHEAD CITY TERMINAIS, INC.
PAGE #3
The purpose of increasing the size of the Berth is to provide an expanded area which would be
suitable for the establishment of a bulk handling storage area with the area initially being used for the
storage and transfer of woodchips. The majority of the storage and transfer area will be located
within the confines of the old fuel tank farm which was, until recently, located immediately to the
west of Berth 1. The tanks have been torn down and are in the process of being transported off the
site as scrap. This, combined with an adjacent undeveloped piece of property and Berth No. 1, will
result in approx 5 acres of land area being disturbed. Of that total, approx. 4.5 acres will be asphalt
hardstand with the remaining areas either gravel or grass. The applicant has calculated that approx.
65% of the area within the Estuarine Shoreline Area of Environmental Concern will be impervious
and approx. 90% of the entire site will be built upon. A Stormwater Management Plan for this
development has been approved by the Division of Environmental Management. This plan will
utilize a collection system and an existing wastewater monitoring station and discharge system. An
existing underground 42" stormwater pipe will be extended through the project area and will continue
to discharge stormwater from other areas of the State Ports into the Newport River. Besides the
asphalt hardstand, the upland development will include a truck dump hopper, a reclaim conveyor,
retaining wall, sloped transfer conveyor and an elevated stacking conveyor.
10. ANTICIPATED DIPACTS: The project as proposed will result in the filling of approx. 14,000 ft.2
of intertidal and shallow water habitat areas of the Newport River. Include within the fill area is
approx. 200 ft.2 of spartina alterniflora and scattered amounts of oysters. It is not know if clam
resources are present in the sandy/silt substrate. The proposed fill area represents an expansion of
Berth 1 as permitted by CAMA Permit No. 78-95 but would be less than the fill footprint authorized
by CAMA Permit No. 182-88. CAMA Permit No. 182-88 was subject to the requirements of SEPA
and mitigation was required and subsequently completed by the SPA. The filling of the area beyond
the mean high water line is proposed to be accomplished by first installing a floating silt curtain and
then creating an earthen dike around its perimeter. The grouted mattress would then be installed.
The floating silt curtain may not, however, be suitable in preventing dike erosion from occurring
during tidal and wind fluctuations. The upland development will cause approx. 5 acres of land
disturbance with approx. 4.5 acres of asphalt hardstand and other built upon surfaces being placed on
the site. The applicant has calculated that approx. 65% of the Estuarine Shoreline AEC will be
covered with impervious surfaces and that approx. 90% of the site will be built upon. A Stormwater
Management Plan has been developed and approved by the Division of Environmental Management.
An existing stormwater discharge pipe will be extended through the project and will continue to
discharge into the Newport River. This project will not be tied into this discharge point but rather an
existing one located south of the project site. The bulk storage area will initially be used for the
storage and transfer of woodchips but in the future may be used for other

9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: Morehead City Terminal, Inc. is an authorized agent for the NC
State Ports Authority and is requesting a major modification of CAMA Permit No. 78-95. This
permit was issued to the SPA and authorized the completion of Berth No. 1 at the Morehead City
Terminal. The modification being proposed will allow for the establishment of a bulk storage area
with associated equipment to transfer the product to waiting ships. The facility will first be used for
wood chips but could be modified in the future for other bulk cargo. The project can be divided into
two components: the expansion of Berth No. 1 into the Newport River and the modification of
uplands to provide a suitable staging area for the bulk cargo.
In 1987, a portion of Berth 1 suddenly collapsed into the Newport River jeopardizing a fuel tank
farm. After an analysis of future needs, The SPA prepared an Environmental Assessment, as
required under the NC State Environmental Policy Act, (SEPA) and applied for a CAMA permit to
reconfigure and expand Berth 1. CAMA Permit No. 182-88 was issued to the SPA and authorized
the excavation of approx. 5.7 acres of the Newport River, the bulkheading and filling of approx. 2.1
acres of the Newport River and approx..12 acres of wetlands, the establishment of a paved hardstand
area and the extension of a stormwater outlet pipe. Mitigation was required and included the creation
of approx. 2.2 acres of spartina alterniflora wetlands on a dredged spoil island and the creation of a
hard rock habitat area along the slope of the dredged area. Shortly after construction began, the lease
holder of the railroad trestle and track initiated legal proceedings to halt the construction and
excavation activities. A compromised was ultimately reach which reduced the size of the excavation
and fill areas. The excavation was completed, a grouted mattress was installed for slope protection
and a portion of Berth 1 was bulkheaded. The paved hardstand area was eliminated in order to
comply with stormwater rules. Additionally, the mitigation requirements of establishing wetlands on
the spoil disposal island were completed. The SPA recently receive CAMA Permit No. 78-95 which
authorizes the completion of Berth 1.
The applicant is now requesting a permit to fill an additional area of the Newport River which was
not authorized under CAMA Permit No. 78-95 but within the boundaries originally permitted by
CAMA Permit No. 182-88 before legal proceedings were initiated by the railroad tenant. The area to
be filled below the mean high water line is up to approx. 100' long x 150' wide and is mostly
intertidal or shallow water habitat areas. Also located within this fill area is approx. 200 ft.2 of
spartina alterniflora vegetation and scattered amounts of oysters. The present shoreline of the area is
stabilized with varying amounts of stone riprap. The toe of the proposed fill is to be stabilized with
an approx. 25' wide grouted mattress cover similar to the design used for the basin slope protection
except at the railroad trestle where a timber retaining wall is proposed. The berth expansion would
be accomplished by first placing a floating silt curtain immediately waterward of the proposed fill and
then constructing an earthen dike inside the silt curtain. The grouted mattress would then be placed
on the waterward slope of the dike and the area inside would then be filled.

by the Division of Environmental Management. It would be anticipated that other products stored on
the site could require additional modifications to existing air and water quality permits. The project
will result in some increase in rail and truck traffic using the State Port but it is not expected to cause
any significant impacts. A Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan has been developed and approved
for this development.

The filling of a much larger area was reviewed by State and Federal agencies and approved in
1988 (previous area denoted on permit drawing Sheet 2). This proposed project will fill a portion
of the above area previously authorized to be filled. Mitigation measures were undertaken
including development of a subtidal / intertidal spartina marsh on "Marsh Island" which is located
approximately 1000 yards north of the Berth 1 site.
Also, approximately 62% of the proposed area to be filled for this permit is currently authorized
under CAMA permit 78-95.

Dear Sirs:
On February 11, 1991, we renewed general permit No. 198000291 (copy
enclosed), which provides Federal authorization for construction activities
that receive authorization from the State of North Carolina.
A review of your application received November 13, 1995, for Department
of the Army authorization to place fill material in approximately 200 square
feet of vegetated wetlands and 14,000 square feet of open water, for the
construction of a bulk cargo storage facility on the Newport River, in the
State Port at Morehead City, Carteret County, North Carolina, indicates it to
be a candidate for Federal authorization under this general permit.
Accordingly, the administrative processing of your application will be
accomplished by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management. Comments
from Federal review agencies will be furnished to the State.
If your application must be withdrawn from this general permit process
for any reason, you will be informed regarding its further management. If
there are no unresolved differences in State-Federal positions or policies,
the final action taken on your application by the State will result in your
receiving written notice from us that your application is consistent with the
general permit and you may commence your activity. Only after receiving such
confirmation should you begin work.
On February 6, 1990, the DA and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) establishing procedures to
determine the type and level of mitigation necessary to comply with the Clean
Water Act Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines. This MOA provides for first, avoiding
impacts to waters and wetlands through the selection of the least damaging,
practical alternative; second, taking appropriate and practical steps to
minimize impacts on waters and wetlands; and finally, compensating for any
remaining unavoidable impacts to the extent appropriate and practical. To
enable us to process your application in full compliance with this MOA, we
request that you provide the following additional information:
a. Permits for work within wetlands or other special aquatic sites are
available only if the proposed work is the least environmentally damaging,
practicable alternative. Please furnish information regarding any other
alternatives, including upland alternatives, to the work for which you have
applied and provide justification that your selected plan is the least
damaging to water or wetland areas.

b. It is necessary for you to have taken all appropriate and practical
steps to minimize wetland losses. Please indicate all that you have done,
especially regarding development and modification of plans and proposed
construction techniques, to minimize adverse impacts.
c. The MOA requires that appropriate and practical mitigation will be
required for all unavoidable adverse impacts remaining after all appropriate
and practical minimization has been employed. Please indicate your plan to
mitigate for the projected, unavoidable loss of waters or wetlands or provide
information as to the absence of any such appropriate and practical measures.
This information is essential to our expeditious processing of your
application and it should be forwarded to us by November 30, 1995. Also, a
copy of this information must be sent to the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management to enable them to adequately evaluate your
application for a Water Quality Certification pursuant to Section 401 of the
Clean Water Act.
Your application, pursuant to Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act and
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, has been assigned Action ID No. 199602501
and will be coordinated by Mr. Jeff Richter in our Wilmington Field Office.
Mr. Richter may be contacted at telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
Ernest Jahnke
Manager
