William Edward Mingin project
New Hanover County
DEM #951132
DEM has reviewed Mr. Mingin's plan to dredge 3,000 square feet of shallow bottom habitat around his
existing dock. As you are aware, the area is classified as SA open and as a Primary Nursury Area (PNA). Since
it is a PNA, dredging may remove the existing PNA use of the area. Therefore DEM suggests that DCM deny
the CAMA permit for this activity.
Please call me at 733-1786 if you have any questions.

9. PROTECT DESCRIPTION 10/20/95
The project site lies south of Bradley Creek between the Shandy and Turtle Hall developments in New
Hanover County. The property address is 6600 Towles Rd, and is approximately 3/4 acre is size.
Towles Rd. is residential with the exception of the old Westsail property at the northeast terminus of
the road. The project site is the southeast terminus of Towles Rd., and supports a residence, a pool,
a bulkhead, and a pier. The lot is landscaped with high ground grasses and shrubs to the bulkhead.
Spartina alterniflora marsh appears to abut the bulkhead on aerial photography, but in reality is offset
from the bulkhead by 6' to 8'. This is probably due to recent accretion of sand against the bulkhead
face. The existing pier spans the marsh for approximately 80'. The bottom in the project area is sandy.
The waters of Greeneville Sound are classified SA by the Division of Environmental Management. The
area is designated as Primary Nursery by the Division of Marine Fisheries, and is open to the taking
of shellfish for consumption. New Hanover County classifies the area as Conservation in their Land
Use Plan.
There was a CAMA permit, #55-79, issued for dredging in the adjacent area, from the Westsaii Plant
south for 220'. This project was realized. In addition, a permit was issued in 1974 for excavation to
within 52' of the bulkhead on this project site, in the name of Charles Ellington. At that point in time,
the excavation would have led to and around the T-head at the end of the pier. The pier has since been
extended beyond that T-head. There is no indication that this excavation was ever accomplished.
Evidence on the aerial photography does not show any dredged or maintained channel extending into
this project area. The regulatory staff and marine contractors that worked in this area during that period
in time do not recall that the area was ever dredged. Soundings in the area currently average -1' mean
low water to -3' mean low water.
The applicant is proposing to excavate a 40' x 60' basin around the northeast end of his pier to a depth
of -4' mean low water. He is also proposing to continue an access channel to the point reaching -4'
mean low water, which would be for 30' eastward. This channel would also be excavated to a depth
of -4' mean low water, and would be 20' in width. The applicant expects to remove 445 cubic yards
of material from the system with this project; however, based on the submitted soundings, which have
been field verified, this amount should be closer to 300 cubic yards.
The spoil is to be placed on an existing US Army Corp of Engineers spoil island at channel marker 125.
This island is presently diked, and permission is on file to use it. The diked portion of this spoil area
that the applicant is using is approximately 300' x 500', but the applicant plans to utilize a 150' x 100'
area in the southwest corner. Excavation will be accomplished by hydraulic clam bucket to barge, and
off loaded at the spoil site partially de-watered.
10. ANTICIPATED EWIPACTS
This project would excavate material from an area previously untouched. The excavation would remove
approximately 300 cubic yards of sand from the system. It will disturb approximately 3000 square feet
of shallow bottom area, and cause temporary turbidity increases. The spoil will cause the fill of
approximately 15,000 square feet of high ground within an existing diked spoil area.

Mr. Jeff Richter
In response to your letter dated November 13,1995 about our dredge permit . There is and
existing pier estimated 315 feet long with floating dock located at 6600 Towles road in Greenville
Sound, Wilmington, N.C. In February of 1974 a permit was issued to Mr. Charles Ellihngton to Dredge
an accesses Channel and to Erected this pier and bulkhead at this present location. (COPY ATTACHED)
We are asking to redredge this same area that has not been dredge in may years to allow us to dock our
boat in this basin.
In response to the request for additional information: Question a) at this time I do not know of
any other way to remove this sand. The system that we propose (clam shell) to use will due less damage
then the suction type dredge where a lot of sand is loosen up and is not removed thus causing tide to
have it fill someone else basin, b) we are only taking out the sand that has washed over the years into our
basin: c) the sand that we are removing is to be put on and island that corps has given us permission to
use this will help to protect other property in this area.
If I can be of any future assistance please call,
Sincerely, _

Enclosed is the application of William Edward Mingin for Department of
the Army authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to dredge
approximately 3,000 square feet of nonvegetated shallow bottom for a boat
basin, located in Greenville Sound, at 6600 Towles Road in Wilmington, New
Hanover 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 12, 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].

REGUI4 i N y BRANCH
The Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your application for State
approval for development of your property located at 6600 Towles Rd. in New Hanover County. It was
received completed on 10/20/95, and appears to be adequate for processing at this time. The projected
deadline for malting a decision is 1/3/96. 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.
Sincerely,

9. PROTECT DESCRIPTION
10/20/95
The project site lies south of Bradley Creek between the Shandy and Turtle Hall developments in New
Hanover County. The property address is 6600 Towles Rd, and is approximately 3/4 tacre is size.
erminus of
Towles Rd. is residential with the exception of the old WestsaU property at the northeast the road. The project site is the southeast terminus of Towles Rd., and supports a residence, a pool,
a bulkhead, and a pier. The lot is landscaped with high ground grasses and shrubs to the bulkhead.
Spartina aLtermflora marsh appears to abut the bulkhead on aerial photography, but in reality is offset
from the bulkhead by 6' to 8'. This is probably due to recent accretion of sand against the bulkhead
face. The existing pier spans the marsh for approximately 80'. The bottom in the project area is sandy.
The waters of Greeneville Sound are classified SA by the Division of Environmental Management. The
area is designated as Primary Nursery by the Division of Marine Fisheries, and is open to the taking
of shellfish for consumption. New Hanover County classifies the area as Conservation in their Land
Use Plan.
There was a CAMA permit, #55-79, issued for dredging in the adjacent area, from the Westsail Plant
south for 220'. This project was realized., In addition, a permit was issued in 1974 for excavation to
within 52' of the bulkhead on this project site, in the name of Charles Ellington. At that point in time,
the excavation would have led to and around the T-head at the end of the pier. The pier has since been
extended beyond that T-head. There is no indication that this excavation was ever accomplished.
Evidence on the aerial photography does not show any dredged or maintained channel extending into
this project area. The regulatory staff and marine contractors that worked in this area during that period
in time do not recall that the area was ever dredged. Soundings in the area currently average -1' mean
low water to -3' mean low water.
The applicant is proposing to excavate a 40' x 60' basin around the northeast end of his pier to a depth
of -4' mean low water. He is also proposing to continue an access channel to the point reaching -4'
mean low water, which would be for 30' eastward. This channel would also be excavated to a depth
of -4, mean low water, and would be 20' in width. The applicant expects to remove 445 cubic yards
of material from the system with this project; however, based on the submitted soundings, which have
been field verified, this amount should be closer to 300 cubic yards.
The spoil is to be placed on an existing US Army Corp of Engineers spoil island at channel marker 125.
This island is presently diked, and permission is on file tD use it. The diked portion of this spoil area
that the applicant is using is approximately 300' x 500', but the applicant plans to utilize a 150' x 100'
area in the southwest corner. Excavation will be accomplished by hydraulic clam bucket to barge, and
off loaded at the spoil site partially de-watered.
10. ANTICIPATED ROAM
This project would excavate material from an area previously untouched. The excavation woulfeet
approximately 300 cubic yards of sand from the system. It will disturb approximately 3000 square
of shallow bottom area, and cause temporary turbidity increases. The spoil will cause the fill of
approximately 15,000 square feet of high ground within an existing diked spoil area.

DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY

P.O. BOX 1890
WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROUNA28402-1890
REPLY TO
ATTENTION OF
December 8, 1995
Regulatory Branch
Action ID No. 199600339
Mr. John Parker
Division of Coastal Management
North Carolina Department of Environment,
Health, and Natural Resources
Post Office Box 27687
Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687
Dear Mr. Parker:
Reference the application of William Edward Mingin for a Department of
the Army permit to excavate approximately 3,000 square feet of nonvegetated
shallow bottom for a boat basin, located in Greenville Sound, at 6600 Towles
Road in Wilmington, New Hanover 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.
All excavated materials will be confined landward of the mean high water
(MHW) elevation contour within adequate dikes or other retaining structures to
prevent spillover of solids into any vegetated wetlands or surrounding waters.
Flow from the diked retention area will be confined by pipe, trough, or
similar device to a point at or below the mean low water (MLW) elevation
contour to prevent gully erosion and siltation.
The existing dike berm of the disposal area will be maintained in its
present condition. Any damage to the berm resulting from the deposition of
spoil material or associated activity will be corrected to the satisfaction of
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
No excavated or fill materials will be placed at any time in any
vegetated wetlands or waters.
Excavation will not exceed 4 feet below the elevation of mean low water
(MLW) and will not occur in any vegetated wetlands or waters.
The permittee's scheme of development, of which the authorized work is a
part, contemplates the presence of structures and their attendant utilities on
lands subject to an easement in favor of the United States for the operation,
maintenance, improvement, and enlargement of the Atlantic Intracoastal
Waterway (AIWW). Accordingly, the permittee will be required to remove such
structures and improvements at his own expense in the event that, in the
judgment of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers acting on behalf of the United
States, the lands are needed at any time for any purpose within the scope of
Printed on 0 Recyded Paper
..r j
the easement. Permanent buildings will not be constructed within the
easement.
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.
The permittee 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's or less in all rivers not designated as trout waters by
the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM), 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.
This permit does not authorize interference with any existing or
proposed Federal project.
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.
d. Design and construction deficiencies associated with the permitted
2

work.
e. Damage claims associated with any future modification, suspension,
or revocation of this permit.
DREDGING:
The work authorized herein includes periodic maintenance which may be
performed for ten years from the date of issuance of this permit provided:
a. The permittee will advise the District Engineer in writing at least
two weeks before he intends to undertake any maintenance dredging.
b. The proposed area to be dredged, method of dredging and disposal of
dredged material will be in strict accordance with that authorized by this
permit.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Jeff Richter, Wilmington
Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
Ernest Jahnke
Manager
Wilmington Regulatory Field Office
