Easley, Governor Donna D. Moffitt, Director William G. Ross Jr., Secretary January 31, 2003 Mr. Edward Kurent g0520M c/o The Pilot House Restaurant P. O. Box 458 Buxton, NC 27920 Permit Decision for Oceansound, L. L. C., Dare County Dear Mr. Kurent : This letter is in reference to correspondence you received from Environmental Professionals, Inc., as an adjacent riparian property owner to Oceansound, L. L. C., and pre -application requirements of the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Permit process. The adjacent landowner has requested the issuance of a CAMA General Permit to maintenance dredge the adjacent canal to your property. Environmental Professionals, Inc. (EPI) has been asked by your adjacent riparian neighbor to act as their agent in obtaining this permit. As a requirement of the rules for obtaining any CAMA permit, the applicant is required to notify all adjacent riparian (waterfront) neighbors of their permit request, and the scope of proposed work. To this end, EPI sent you correspondence dated December 10, 2002 to notify you of these intensions, and seeking, either a statement of `no -objection', or comments, including any objections. During the ongoing permit application review process, EPI presented the required adjacent riparian notification correspondence to Mr. Dennis W. Hawthorn, the Division of Coastal Management's Coastal Management Field Representative for the Hatteras Island area. This correspondence indicates, by signature and date December 19, 2002, that you object to the proposed maintenance dredging of this adjacent canal. Mr. Hawthorn has discussed this objection with EPI' s agent, Mr. Kendall Turnage, and Mr. Turnage is not certain why this objection was indicated. He suspects that you may have concerns about possible damages to the existing pier which provides access from your property to the basin. According to Dare County mapping information, it appears that this pier actually crosses the Oceansound, L. L. C. property to access the canal waters. Mr. Hawthorn also made some attempts to contact you by telephone concerning this matter. 1367 U.S. 17 South, Elizabeth City, North Carolina 27909 Phone: 252-264-3901 \ FAX: 252-264-3723 \ Internet: www.nccoastalmanagement.net An Equal Opportunity \ Affirmative Action Employer — 50% Recycled \ 10% Post Consumer Paper s,. Mr. Edward Kurent Permit Decision for Oceansound, L. L. C., Dare County January 31, 2003 Page 2 Having not specifically confirmed the nature of your objections, we suspect that they may concern interference with the future use of the existing pier and mooring area. The permit applicant has no desire to interfere with, or prevent the use of this pier and mooring area. The proposed maintenance dredging will avoid any interference with this area, and any permit that is issued will require that any restriction of use of this area be no more than temporary in nature. The dredge spoil from this project will be placed on the applicant's property to the west of the canal, and your property. The permit will require that the spoil site operation apply all necessary erosion and sedimentation actions to prevent any spillage from this site into any adjacent lands, waters, and/or wetlands. Mr. Hawthorn was onsite on December 16, 2003, and has reviewed the applicant's proposal to undertake this excavation. Since this time, Mr. Hawthorn has reviewed all aspects of this proposal for consistency with North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC), Subchapter 7H, Sections .0208 and .1500. This review has found the proposed development to be consistent with the above referenced NCAC Subchapter Sections. The Division of Coastal Management has given your objections to this proposal careful consideration, and has determined that the proposed project is consistent with the appropriate rules and regulations, and that all pre -requisite requirements have been satisfied. In this regard, today, the Division issued General Permit No. 32792-A (copy attached) for the proposed development. If you wish to appeal this permit decision, you must 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. The appropriate forms for this process are available from this office. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Dennis Hawthorn at or myself at (252) 264-3901. Sincerely, Ted Sampson District Manager Division of Coastal Management cc: Dennis W. Hawthorn, DCM Charles S. Jones, Assist. Director, MHC Doug Huggett, DCM, Raleigh EPI, Kendall Turnage
