I am writing to let you know that the shoreline along Clubfoot Creek continues to slowly erode due to storms and boat traffic. CAMA has introduced a new general permit for placement of riprap for wetland protection in estuarine and public trust waters. I have enclosed a copy of Section .2400 outlining what I propose to do with the wetlands in front of my property. I have also enclosed a drawing of the proposed development. This project only effects our common shoreline. The shoreline I share with Duane Usa is not effected. However, CAMA requires that I notify both property owners on either side of the project. Please sign the Adjacent Riparian Property Owner Statement and mail back to me. I will turn it into CAMA. Let me know if you have any questions. I hope to see you and Jean at the next Moorings Association meeting. Take care and God bless.

This permit shall only be applicable where a shoreline is experiencing erosion in public trust areas and estuarine waters according to authority provided in 15A NCAC 7J .1100 and according to the rules in this Section. This permit shall not apply within the Ocean Hazard System of Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC) or waters adjacent to these AEC's with the exception of those portions of shoreline within the Inlet Hazard Area AEC that feature characteristics of Estuarine Shorelines. Such features include the presence of wetland vegetation_ lower wave energy, and lower erosion rates than in the adjoining Ocean Erodible Area. History Note: Authority G.S. 113A-107; 113A-118.1; Eff.

DCM staff will review all comments and determine, based on their relevance to the potential impacts of the proposed project, if the proposed project can be approved by a General Permit. If DCM staff finds that the comments are worthy of more in-depth review, the applicant will be notified that he must submit an application for a major development permit. (c) DCM staff shall review all comments and determine, based on their relevance to the potential impacts of the proposed project if the proposed project meets the requirements of the rules in this Section.

(d) No work shall begin until an on -site meeting is held with the applicant and appropriate Division of Coastal Management representative so that the wetland protection structure can be appropriately marked. Written authorization to proceed with the proposed development maybe issued during this visit. Construction of the wetland protection structure must be completed within 90 days of this visit or the general authorization expires and it shall be necessary to re-examine the alignment to determine if the general authorization can be reissued.

Wynn to build a 4' high seawall on his property (Lot #9 in The Moorings Subdivision on Clubfoot Creek). I own the adjacent Lot #10. A seawall on Lot #9 will have an adverse effect on my property. My concerns with the effect of a 4' high seawall are: • The change of the natural beauty of the land and shoreline with the addition of a seawall. • The destruction of a significant number of trees on Lot #9, due to the backfill planned behind the 4' seawall. Also, due to accelerated shoreline erosion on my lot from the seawall on Lot #9, 1 also will lose trees that currently help hold soil. • The accelerated erosion and wash -away of land that will occur on my property due to wave energy deflected from a seawall on Lot #9 to the shoreline of lots on either side of Lot #9. • A change of the entire character of the shoreline; as, others --- like me -- are forced to erect seawalls in order to prevent accelerated erosion of their own property from the seawalls of those who desired to have a seawall. Mr. Wynn's concern with erosion is understandable. I will handle my own shoreline erosion concerns with natural rock which will absorb wave energy without transferring that energy in a way that erodes the property of others. With natural rock I hope to preserve the beauty of the shoreline and protect myself from significant erosion at the same time and keep Clubfoot Creek from looking like a canal in Ft. Lauderdale. I met with Mr. Wynn on Monday March 23 regarding his application for a seawall. If the seawall application is granted, he agreed to start the wall 8' to 10' back from the existing shoreline adjacent to my property and to drop the seawall height to 3'. Mr. Ted Tyndall CAMA March 26, 1998 Page 2 t Thank you for your review and consideration of my comments. I would appreciate hearing what you decide regarding Mr. Wynn's application, since it will impact my property. $fin erefy, l � ane Usa North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Coastal Management Michael F. Easley, Governor Bill Ross, Secretary Donna D. Moffitt, Director June 18, 2001 Mr. Duane Usa 1844 Mission Hills Lane Northbrook, Illinois 60062 Dear Mr. Usa: e�A NCDENR This correspondence is in reference to your letter of objection to Mr. Phillip V. Wynn, an adjacent riparian property, proposing to install rock riprap in front of wetlands on his property. The project is located at 113 Bimini Court, on lot #9, in the Moorings Subdivision, on Clubfoot Creek, near Harlowe, Craven County. The proposed project involves the placement of approximately 55' of rock rip rap waterward of the marsh. The North Carolina, Division of Coastal Management has given your objections careful consideration and has determined that the project is consistent with Section .2400 - General Permit for Placement of Riprap for Wetland Protection on Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Areas. The purpose of this general permit is to provide wetland protection in estuarine and public trust waters where the shoreline is experiencing erosion. And based on many past site visits, this shoreline has experienced severe erosion over the recent years. Therefore, on June 12, 2001 the Division issued CAMA General Permit #28090-C to Mr. Wynn authorizing 55' of rock riprap in front of the marsh and 6" above the marsh substrate. This should provide the area protection from erosional forces while still allow the marsh to function properly. If you wish to appeal this permit decision, you may file a request with the Director of the Division of Coastal Management, Department of Environment and Natural Resources within 20 days of the permit decision. I have enclosed a copy of the pertinent rules for the development, the permit and an appeal form. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please don't hesitate to contact me at my Morehead City Office (252-808-2808). Sincerely, M.
