channel with a basin/boat ramp and pier on Areneuse Creek.
Gaston Small/Danson's Grant Subdivision
Bio Report el
Page Two
Proposed Work J? 1
The applicant proposes to construct, across wooded wetlands, /a water access channel and a boat ramp on
Areneuse Creek. This proposed work includes the excavation and fill of freshwater wetlands and Public
Trust Waters. Construction includes the excavation of a 196 ft. by 26 ft. wide access channel, a 30 ft. long
by 20 ft. wide concrete ramp and a 40 ft. long by 6 ft. wide pier adjacent to the proposed boat ramp.
Approximately one-half of the pier will be placed over Public Trust Waters. Approximately 10 ft. of the
proposed boat ramp will be waterward of the NWL and require filling of approximately 200 sf. of Public
Trust Waters.
Site Description
Danson's Grant Subdivision is located in Camden County off NC 343, approximately 2 miles northwest of
the Taylors Beach community. The proposed construction site is on a small pre-existing gut or slip along
Areneuse Creek, a tributary to the Pasquotank River. The waters of Areneuse Creek are classified by the
Division of Marine Fisheries as Inland Waters and are also classified by the Division of Coastal
Management as Public Trust Waters and are part of the Estuarine System Area of Environmental Concern.
The shoreline and proposed access area are vegetated in a 100 to 150 foot wide wetland fringe of
freshwater herbaceous, woody and hardwood wetland plant species, the area adjacent to the access area is
vegetated in Tazodium distichum, Nyssa aquatica, Liquidambar styraciua as well as Myrica cerifera,
Magnolia virginiana and Acer rubrum with various herbaceous vines and perennials. This site has been
delineated as an US COE jurisdictional wetland.
This project has slightly over one-tenth of an acre of impacts. The applicant has not proposed any
mitigation to compensate for wetland habitat losses.
Anticipated Impacts
The proposed work will directly impact about 2400 sf. (0.055 A.) of freshwater US COE jurisdictional
wetlands and about 2900 sf. (0.067 A.) of Public Trust Waters. The proposed boat ramp will be
constructed landward of the current wetland boundary. The proposed spoil and drive access areas will be
landward of any wetlands. The proposed work will not impact any Coastal Wetlands, Estuarine Waters or
Estuarine Shoreline.
The proposed facility will be for private use for the Danson's Grant Subdivision. Currently, there are no
public boat ramps located in Camden County. The applicant has not requested authorization to stabilize
any of the proposed access channel, basin or boat ramp. The proposed project will increase turbidity in the
adjacent Public Trust Waters.
CAMA Review
A review of the Camden County Land-Use Plan as it pertains to this proposed project will be transmitted
under a separate document.

Dear Mr. Dorney:
Reference the application of Gaston Small for Department of the Army (DA)
authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to undertake excavation
activities within Section 404 Department of the Army jurisdictional wetlands,
and construct an access channel, boat basin, boat ramp, and pier, to provide
boating access to Danson's Grant Subdivision, located off N.C. 343, adjacent
to Areneuse Creek, near the Community of Taylors Beach, in Camden 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 September 16, 1996, 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,

Dear Mr. Small:
On February 11, 1991, we renewed General Permit No. 198000291 (copy
enclosed), which provides Federal authorization for construction activities
that receive authorization from the State of North Carolina.
A review of your application received July 17, 1996, for Department of
the Army (DA) authorization to undertake excavation activities within Section
404 Department of the Army jurisdictional wetlands, and construct an access
channel, boat basin, boat ramp, and pier, to provide boating access to
Danson's Grant Subdivision, located off N.C. 343, adjacent to Areneuse Creek,
near the Community of Taylors Beach, in Camden County, North Carolina,
indicates it to be a candidate for Federal authorization under this general
permit. Accordingly, the administrative processing of your application will
be accomplished by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management.
Comments from Federal review agencies will be furnished to the State.
If your application must be withdrawn from this general permit process
for any reason, you will be informed regarding its further management. If
there are no unresolved differences in State-Federal positions or policies,
the final action taken on your application by the State will result in your
receiving written notice from us that your application is consistent with the
general permit and you may commence your activity. Only after receiving such
confirmation should you begin work.
Your application, pursuant to Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act and
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, has been assigned Action ID No. 199604830.
It will be coordinated by Mr. Raleigh Bland in our Washington Regulatory Field
Office. Mr. Bland is available at telephone [phone], extension 23.
