Enclosed is the application of Mr. James L. Andrews for Department of the
Army authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to construct and
backfill a bulkhead on Topsail Sound, Sloop Point, Pender 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.
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 March 20, 1995, the District Engineer will deem that
waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Michael Hosey, Wilmington
Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
Enclosure

As a result of the destructive action of the eater caused by the irrespon-
acts of speeding boaters, it is essential that I repair/restore the protective
breakwater that has existed for over twenty years. I do not propose to extend
the repairs waterward beyond the currently existing line. 1 merely wish to
restore the threatened structure in its exact location to protect my property
which has been in my family for four generations. Nothing will be lost to the
public nor will any gain be acquired by me.
To repair the breakwater/bulkhead I intend to remove, reset, add to, and
heighten the broken slab in its current location for a linear distance of about
60 feet. Filter cloth will also be used. No work will be accomplished in any
area where the breakwater does not now exist.
