Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687

Dear Mr. Dorney:

Enclosed is the application of Frederick and Fran Lorenzo for
Department of the Army (DA) authorization and a state Water Quality
Certification to reconstruct a bulkhead in front of their property,
located off state Road 1317, adjacent to Broad Creek and Gideon Creek, in
the Community of Pamlico, Pamlico 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 March 2, 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,

~~.~

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
FREDERICK AND FRAN LORENZO/P AMLICO COUNTY
PAGE #2

9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:

Project Setting

The applicants own a I-acre lot in the Community of Pamlico adjacent Broad and
Gideon Creeks in Pamlico County, The high ground lot is located on a point of land at
the confluence of the two creeks. A bulkheaded, undeveloped high ground lot is
located along Broad Creek immediately to the east while a wooded, undeveloped lot
abuts the property to the south adjacent Gideon Creek. A single family dwelling, short
pier, and approximately 400' of deteriorated bulkhead (partially ref aced) exist on the
property, Because of the poor condition of the bulkhead, Estuarine Waters ebb and
flow with the wind driven tides, Some erosion is occurring behind the bulkhead and
coastal wetland vegetation has become established along several stretches of the
shoreline. Pieces of rock rip rap/concrete can be found along a 100' stretch of
shoreline landward of the wetlands. Basically two wetlands patches exist on the
property, At the eastern end of the bulkhead, the wetland area measures approximately
80' in length and 10' in width and is vegetated primarily with Spartina alterniflora and
s., cvnosuroides. The second area is a 3', wide by 60' long fringe of s.. alterniflora
exists near the point. Scattered plants can be found along the 60' of shoreline in
between the two wetland areas, Erosion behind the rest of the bulkhead averages
approximately 2', Gideon Creek and this section of Broad Creek are designated
Primary Nursery Areas. Both creeks are SA NSW waters and open to shellfishing.

Project Description

The applicants propose to repair 400' of deteriorating bulkhead by refacing the
bulkhead, placing fIlter fabric behind the bulkhead, installing tie-backs where needed
and then backfilling.

Anticipated Impacts

Refacing the bulkhead and backfilling the area adjacent to Gideon Creek would
remove approximately 440 ft2 of Estuarine Waters and shallow water habitat (160' X 2'
and 40' X 3'), And as proposed, the project would result in the loss of approximately
1,010 ft2 of Coastal Wetlands (80' X 10', 60' X 3', and scattered area of 60' X ,5'),
High ground disturbance as a result of tie-back installation and backfilling activities
would be approximately 1,500 ft2 (150' X 10').

Dear Mr. Jones and Mr. Tyndalt:

This is in response to your request for an explanation regarding authorization for
repair to the existing bulkhead on our property along Gideon and Broad Creeks
in Pam lice County.

In the faIl of 1991, my husband spoke with a gentleman in the Bayboro County
courthouse responsible for issuing permits. We do not recall the name of that
man. At that time we were embarking on a do-it-yourself project to repair a
deteriorating dock and bulkhead, My husband was told that no permits were
needed as we were not adding or replacing pilings.

We compfeted work on the dock in the spring of 1992 and began work on the
bulkhead. Work proceeded very slowly as we are not permanent residents and
chose to work only some of the times we were able to get to N. C.

Work was halted on the bulkhead in the summer of 1994 when we learned we
would need a permit to backfill the area behind the bulkhead. At this point, we
are in the process of submitting the required information in order to obtain the
necessary permit.

I hope this darifies questions you have regarding this project. If further
information is needed, please contact us at the above address.

Sincerely:

~a1Vcfh;n(f

9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:

Project Setting

The applicants own a I-acre lot in the Community of Pamlico adjacent Broad and
Gideon Creeks in Pamlico County, The high ground lot is located on a point of land at
the confluence of the two creeks. A bulkheaded, undeveloped high ground lot is
located along Broad Creek immediately to the east while a wooded, undeveloped lot
abuts the property to the south adjacent Gideon Creek. A single family dwelling, short
pier, and approximately 400' of deteriorated bulkhead (partially refaced) exist on the
property, Because of the poor condition of the bulkhead, Estuarine Waters ebb and
flow with the wind driven tides, Some erosion is occurring behind the bulkhead and
coastal wetland vegetation has become established along several stretches of the
shoreline, Pieces of rock rip rap/concrete can be found along a 100' stretch of
shoreline landward of the wetlands, Basically two wetlands patches exist on the
property, At the eastern end of the bulkhead, the wetland area measures approximately
80' in length and 10' in width and is vegetated primarily with Spartina alterniflora and
~. cvnosuroides, The second area is a 3' wide by 60' long fringe of ~, alterniflora
exists near the point, Scattered plants can be found along the 60' of shoreline in
between the two wetland areas. Erosion behind the rest of the bulkhead averages
approximately 2'. Gideon Creek and this section of Broad Creek are designated
Primary Nursery Areas, Both creeks are SA NSW waters and open to shellfishing,

Project Description

The applicants propose to repair 400' of deteriorating bulkhead by refacing the
bulkhead, placing filter fabric behind the bulkhead, installing tie-backs where needed
and then backfilling.

Anticipated Impacts

Refacing the bulkhead and backfilling the area adjacent to Gideon Creek would
remove approximately 440 ft2 of Estuarine Waters and shallow water habitat (160' X 2'
and 40' X 3'), And as proposed, the project would result in the loss of approximately
1,010 ft2 of Coastal Wetlands (80' X 10', 60' X 3', and scattered area of 60' X ,5').
High ground disturbance as a result of tie-back installation and backfilling activities
would be approximately 1,500 ft2 (150' X 10'),
