Subject: DRAFT permit conditions for CAMA permit, Manteo pathway

Hi Travis,

As you requested, please find attached a list of DRAFT permit conditions being proposed for inclusion in the
CAMA Major Modification for the proposed Manteo pathway. Please note that DCM is reviewing the
requested project as a Major Modification of the existing active CAMA permit for the East Carolina University
Coastal Studies Institute (copy attached). NCDOT is serving as an authorized agent for this project, however
the proposed permit holder is East Carolina University Coastal Studies Institute.

Please note that these are only draft conditions, and the final permit decision is a work in progress. Some of the
conditions on the attached list will be modified or deleted prior to the final permit decision. Please do not
distribute this document outside of the Wildlife Resources Commission personnel.

Please let me know if WRC has any additional conditions that it would like to request for inclusion in the
CAMA permit. Please let me or Greg Daisey know if you have any questions about the limits of DCM’s
regulatory authority in terms of permit conditions that can be included in permit actions.

I believe that NCDOT and the ECU-Coastal Studies Institute are hoping to initiate construction on this project
as soon as possible. Therefore, please provide any comments at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely,

Cathy Brittingham
