REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Messrs Campau & Carpenter:
DWQ Project # 97-0947v2
New Hanover County
On November 17, 2010, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your CAMA application
to install four "jet-dock" floating platforms within the existing slips of the community docking
facility. The proposed project is located within an area that has been designated by the Division
of Marine Fisheries (DMF) as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA) and has very shallow water depths
at mean low water. Given this fact and after reviewing the comments provided from the DMF
and the Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC), the DWQ has determined that the project as
proposed would have the potential to cause a significant adverse impact to the surrounding PNA
and would violate Tidal Salt Water Quality Standards for Class SA Waters (15A NCAC 02B
.0221 (2)), "Conditions Related to Best Usage: waters shall meet the current sanitary and
bacteriological standards as adopted by the Commission for Health Services and shall be suitable
for shellfish culture. Any source of water pollution which precludes any of these uses, including
their functioning as PNAs, on either a short-term or long-term basis shall be considered to be
violating a water quality standard."
Therefore unless modifications of the proposal are made to alleviate the concerns of the DWQ,
the DMF, and the WRC, we will recommend moving towards denial of your application as
required by 15A NCAC 2H.0506 and will place this project on hold as incomplete until we
receive this additional information. Please revise the proposal to alleviate the concerns
mentioned by the NCDMF, and the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC).
Please respond within thirty days of the date of this letter by sending this information to me in
writing and Ian McMillan of the 401 Oversight/Express Review Permitting Unit. His address is
Ian McMillan, 401 Oversight/Express Review Permitting Unit, 2321 Crabtree Blvd., Raleigh,
NC 27604-2260. If we do not hear from you within thirty days, we will assume that you no
longer want to pursue this project and we will consider the project as withdrawn.
