You have our approval to place fill material in 1348 square feet of wetlands or waters for the
purpose of constructing a road crossing at 1324 Final Landing Lane, as you described in your
application dated 26 April 1995. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is
covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 2732. This certification allows you to use
Nationwide Permit Number 14 or its equivalent 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.

9. PROTECT DESCRIPTION 04/24/95
The project site is located adjacent to Middle Sound at 1324 Final Landing Lane just north of the Figure
Eight Island Bridge on the mainland. This is a rural residential area, surrounded by residential area.
The tract is approximately 3.16 acres in size, vegetated predominately with high ground species.
Approximately .65 acres of this tract is wetlands. The tract extends approximately 1400' from Final
Landing Lane eastward and is approximately 100' wide. The lot fronts Middle Sound to the east, and
has a ditch on it's north side. This ditch extends approximately 700' inland from mean high water.
The estuarine influence is not evident far from the mouth due to an elevation increase. The vegetation
indicates freshwater influence. The ditch has been delineated for 404 type wetlands, and the survey has
been approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Middle sound is classified SH-ORW by the Division of Environmental Management. The west side of
sound is not designated as Primary Nursery Area. The waters are open to the taking of shellfish. New
Hanover County classifies the area as Conservation.
The applicant's mother owns lots 7 and 8. She has given him an easement for a septic tank and
drainfield on lot 8, with permission to apply for a road crossing and residence on lot 7. The applicant
will purchase the lot if the permit is approved.
The proposal is to grade the portion of high ground to the south of the ditch to approximately 9.5' msl.
This would include approximately 14,510 s.f. of high ground. A residence with a 42' X 44' footprint
would be constructed approximately 85' landward of mean high water. There would be a 10' porch
extending the 44' width of the structure on the waterward side. * The house is to be constructed on
pilings, with a finished elevation of approximately 19.5' above msl.
Landward of the house is a 37' X 44' parking pad beyond the house footprint. This is to continue
under the residence for parking. The 12' wide driveway will extend westward for approximately 125'
before turning to cross the ditch. From there, the applicant is proposing to drive across the properties
with no improvements, as the family does presently.
Crossing the ditch will require the filling of approximately 1200 s.f. of wetlands. An 18" culvert is
proposed to prevent restricting water flow. The culvert will be 40' long to extend from the widest
points of the fill in the deepest portion of the ditch.
The driveway will also require the fill of 148 s.f. of these same wetlands in stabilizing the shoulder.
This is a 37' section, with fill extending approximately 4' wide into the wetlands. An 18' section will
be stabilized with rip rap above the wetlands.
A grinder pump will be installed landward of the house, with a sewer line to carry the effluent to a
septic tank and drainfield on lot 8. This system and location have been approved by the New Hanover
County Health. Department.
The roadway, parking pad, and residential structure (assuming a roof over the porch, or concrete
underneath) totals approximately 6976 s. f. of impervious surface area, or 12 % of the ORW Estuarine
Shoreline.

10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The project will cause the fill of approximately 1348 s.f. of delineated 404 wetlands. Approximately
14,510 s.f. of high ground will be graded and filled for the project. The water flow at the project site
is minimal, and should be adequately handled with the proposed culvert. Impervious surface coverage
is approximately 12 % within the ORW Estuarine Shoreline.
The potential for impact from the project lies in the material and the manner of construction of the
sewer pipe crossing the wetlands.

Subject: Cama Major Permit Application March 31, 1995
Michael and Jean Piner plan to build a home on lot # 7 of the
subdivision called EDGEWATER, which was surveyed and registered in
New Hanover County is 1926. The lot has not been changed.
We have been advised by Ms. Ann Hines, of the New Hanover county
zoning department, that the lot is "grandfathered" as far as the 75
feet CAMA setback line is concerned. Ms. Hines further advised us
to pursue a Major CAMA permit from the State of North Carolina, and
the U S Army Corps of Engineers.
Lot # 7 is 100 ft wide, bounded on the northwest side by Final
Landing Lane. The lot runs approx. 1400 ft to the waterfront.
This is called Middle Sound. One line bounded by Lot # 8 is 1330 ft
long. The other line bounded by lot # 6 is 1420 ft long. Access
will be down the lot from Final Landing ln.
The Driveway crossing is in an area of a ditch and not in the wide
part of the wetlands, thus the area of wetlands covered by a road
fill has been kept to a minimum of approx. 1200 sq ft. An 18 inch,
40 ft long corrugated metal pipe in the stream will pass the water
under the road fill.
Another small area of wetlands fill is needed. See the area at
crossection B. The area, 125 sq ft, is needed to support the 12 ft
wide road.
The one story Frame dwelling is 42 X 44 ft with a 10 ft porch, on
8 by 8 inch treated pilings. The site will be graded to 9.5 ft MSL
elevation with a concrete slab to park vehicles under the home.
The first floor will be at approx. 19.5 ft MSL elevation. A
well/pumphouse is located on the lot.
The sewage system will be a grinder pump on the site, and a sewer
line to the septic tank and drain lines located away from the
wetlands by 100 ft or more. This site has been approved by the New
Hanover Health Department.
It is expected that the project will be completed in six months.
The filling and road work would be the first phase. Measures to
control erosion during all construction stages will be employed.
