ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
NOTE: The permittee is encouraged to pursue and coordinate long-term solutions to the erosion
problems along this stretch of highway with appropriate resource agency personnel.
1) Prior to the initiation of any beach nourishment activity or any other development activities above the
mean high water (MHW), easements or similar legal instruments must be obtained from all affected
property owners.
2) The original of this CAMA permit authorized beach nourishment activities to be carried out one (1) time
along the entire reach of the requested area. Any request to carry out additional activities within an area
where nourishment activities have been completed shall require a modification of this permit.
3) If the permittee would like to conduct work outside of the areas depicted on the vicinity map for this
project, additional authorization from the N.C. Division of Coastal Management (DCM) shall be
required, either through permit modification or a new CAMA major permit as deemed appropriate by
DCM.
4) In order to protect sea turtle and shorebird populations, no work on the beach or forward of the dunes
shall be conducted during the sea turtle and piping plover nesting season from April 1St to November
15th of any year without first obtaining approval from DCM, in consultation with the Wildlife Resources
Commission.
5) If the permittee proposes beach nourishment and/or dune maintenance activities with dimensions that
are different than what has been previously authorized by DCM under this permit, then the permittee
shall submit new permit plans to DCM and receive approval from DCM prior to undertaking the
proposed work. The new permit plans (planview and typical section) shall include, at a minimum, the
roadway location including the edge of pavement and right of way limits, the location and dimensions of
the dune(s) and/or beach that need(s) maintenance and/or repair in relation to any existing dunes, the
location of sand sources, and the approximate location of normal high water. The scale of the drawings
shall be 1" = 200' or less in order that project detail can be easily understood.
6) All sands used to strengthen the dune must be of the same general characteristics as the sand in the
existing dunes where it is to be placed. The sand used to construct the dune must be compatible with the
existing sand's color and grain size.
Maintenance Clause

advance of any maintenance work authorized by this permit, and such notification shall include:
A. The number of the original permit.

C. A copy of the previously authorized permit plans with cross-hatching indicating the area to
be maintained.
