Dear Mr. Carter:
ID EHNF?
December 31, 1996
Beaufort County
WQC 401 Project #961084
You have our approval to place fill material 2,455 square feet of waters for the purpose of stabilizing a
shoreline at your home in Summerise subdivision near Aurora (SR 1901), as you described in your
application dated 15 November 1996. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is
covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3025.
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. If total
wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be
required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h) (6) and (7). 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. Also this approval will expire when the
accompanying 404 or CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
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. 276 1 1-7447. This certification and its
conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean
Water Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Domey at 919-733-1786.
Sincerely, -

JAMES E. CARTER
Beaufort County
The applicant owns a 5.7 acre lot within the Summerise Subdivision, adjacent to Peterson
Creek, off SR 1901 in Beaufort County, North Carolina. Located on the lot, which was
purchased in 1995, is a single family dwelling which is served by a septic tank and a individual
potable water well. Also an access pier has been constructed into Peterson Creek. The entire lot
has a fairly low elevation and nearly the entire area adjacent to Peterson Creek has been delineated
as wetlands by the Corps of Engineers or coastal wetlands by the Division of Coastal
Management. This wetland fringe varies in width from 5' to 20' or greater. The Corps of
Engineers jurisdiction area is vegetated by mostly pines and some myrtles. The coastal wetlands
consists of Sgartina cynosuroides and Spartina alterniflora. Severe erosion is occurring at several
locations and at one point the erosion is ±70' from the dwelling. The upland portions of the
property is vegetated with pines and myrtles and little change in elevation can be detected from
the areas that have been deliniated as wetlands by the Corps of Engineers.
The applicant is proposing to place riprap along 491' of shoreline to retard ongoing
erosion. The riprap will average 5' beyond the NWL and will be 7' at the furtherest point. The
riprap will be placed waterward of the wetland fringe, at no location atop any wetlands, and at
no location will it be placed at a higher elevation than the wetlands.
If the project is conducted as proposed, the project should have only a slight environmental
impact. Approximately 2,455 sq. ft. of open water area will be displaced by riprap. No wetlands
will be excavated and/or filled.

4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687
Dear Mr. Dorney:
Please reference the application of James E. Carter for Department
of the Army (DA) authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to
place riprap material along an eroding shoreline, on property located off
State Road 1901, in Summerise Subdivision, adjacent Peterson Creek, near
Aurora, Beaufort 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 19, 1997, the District Engineer will deem
that waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Raleigh Bland, Washington
Regulatory Field office, telephone [phone], extension 23.
Sincerely,
Iv ?
