SUBJECT: CD09-031 - Consistency Certification for Proposed Impacts to Approximately 0.81 Acres of
Wetlands to Facilitate the Extension of the Runway 22 Safety Area, Coastal Carolina
Regional Airport, Craven County (DCM#20080149)
Dear Mr. Smail:
We received the consistency certification of The LPA Group Incorporated (LPA) on behalf of the Coastal
Carolina Regional Airport. ("Applicanf) on November 3, 2008 for proposed impacts to 0.81 acres of
wetlands to facilitate the extension of the Runway 22 safety area in Craven County, North Carolina: This
work also includes the placement of 0.58 acres of fill and the clearing and grubbing of an additional 0.23
acres. The proposed work will extended the runway clearance area by 290 feet and clearing the entire area
between the runway and NCSR 1167. The deadline for completing the consistency review process was
extended, by mutual consent, to June 12, 2009. Additionally, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
will be providing Federal Assistance to the Coastal Carolina Regional Airport. The release of Federal
assistance is also subject to consistency review. To expedite the consistency review process, this
consistency review by DCM concurs with both the release of the Federal Assistance and the authorization
to initiate construction under the State's coastal management program.
To solicit public comments, DCM circulated a description of the proposed project to State agencies that
would have a regulatory interest in the proposed development. No comments were received asserting that
the proposed project would be inconsistent with the State's coastal program. Copies of the comments
received have been attached.
The Division of Coastal Management (DCM) has reviewed the consistency submission pursuant to the
management objectives and enforceable policies of Subchapters 7H and 7M of Chapter 7 of Title 15A of
North Carolina's Administrative Code which are a part of the State's certified coastal management program
and concurs, as conditioned below, that the proposed project is consistent with the enforceable policies of
North Carolina's coastal management program. In order to be found consistent with North Carolina's
coastal management program, the Applicant shall comply with the following conditions of concurrence.
• The Applicant shall comply with the 401 Water Quality Certification (DWQ#19970708, Ver. 2)
issued by the NC Division of Water Quality for this project on May 28, 2009.

The Applicant shall comply with the Stormwater Permit (SW7090204) approval issued by the
NC Division of Water Quality on April 20, 2009.
The Applicant, prior to initiating any land disturbing activities, shall obtain (if required) the
approval of the NC Division of Land Resources of an erosion and sediment control plan. The
Applicant shall comply with the requirements of the approved sediment and erosion control plan.
A copy of the plan approval shall be forwarded to DCM.
The Applicant shall adhere to their mitigation commitment to purchase 0.81 riparian wetland
mitigation credits from the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program. The North
Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program has accepted this proposal through a letter dated
October 23, 2008.
Should the project be modified, a revised consistency certification could be necessary. This might take the
form of either a supplemental consistency certification pursuant to 15 CFR 930.66, or a new consistency
certification pursuant to 15 CFR 930.57. Likewise, if further project assessments reveal environmental
impacts not previously considered by the proposed development, a supplemental consistency certification
might be required. If you have any questions, please contact Stephen Rynas at 252-808-2808. Thank you
for your consideration of the North Carolina Coastal Management Program.
Sincerely,
