Re: Permit for Bank Stabilization and Fill
Dear Mr. Dorney:
Enclosed are seven copies of my application for placing rip-rap along the shoreline of our
property on Roanoke Rapids Lake. I have also enclosed a copy of my 17 October letter
to Mr. Eric Alsmeyer, U. S. Corps of Engineers. We are planning to build our future
permanent residence on this lot, but desire to stabilize the bank prior to commencing
construction.
I thank you in advance for anything you can do to expedite the processing of this
application. Please call me should there be additional information I need to furnish.
Sincerely yours,
James B. Upton

Re: Permit for Bank Stabilization and Fill
Dear Mr. Alsmeyer:
Enclosed please find an application for placing rip-rap along my shoreline. I have an
approximate 13 ft. drop from the existing bank to water and/or shoreline (depending on
the lake level). The Bank is unstable and eroding badly. We propose to stabilize the
bank by placing clean rock along the bank with a gradual slope toward the water. It is
our desire to do this prior to beginning construction of our future permanent residence.
Also enclosed is a plat of our lot. As you will note, our property lines extend into the
water due to the erosion of the bank. I have shown on the plat the proposed placement of
rip-rap and have included several photographs of the property for your review.
I would appreciate your looking over our application and letting us know if additional
information is needed. I am aware that seven (7) copies need to be sent to NC-DEM, and
will forward those copies in the immediate future.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely yours,
James B. Upton
