Dear Dr. Goode:
Roger N. Schecter
Director
The Division of Coastal Management has received and reviewed
your request to modify LAMA permit #7642A which authorized the
construction of emergency ferry ramps and access road at Oregon
Inlet, Dare County.
As CAMA permit #7642A expired on February 25, 1991, it will
be necessary to renew this permit so that it can be modified.
The fee for renewing a CAMA general permit is $50.00. Therefore,
please remit $50.00 to our office so that we can renew and
process your modification request.
Should you have questions and/or comments regarding this
matter, feel free to contact this office.

As you are aware, it is extremely difficult to locate
areas suitable for coastal marsh restoration or creation.
This difficulty, and the need to coordinate with other

Dear Dr. Goode:
This letter will refine CAMA emergency permit #7642A issued
to you on January 25, 1991 for the emergency ferry ramps, dolphin
clusters and an access road at Oregon Inlet, Dare County.
This letter will allow the removal of sand and silt blown
into the boat ramp basin and into the marina basin by NC DOT
ferrys using the northern ferry ramp at Oregon Inlet. This
maintenance excavation is limited to the 2 areas identified on a
plat transmitted by telecopier to the Elizabeth City Field Office
on March 9, 1991. That area identified as Area 1 shall be
limited to -8' MLW and Area 2 shall be limited in depth to -7'
MLW. The excavation shall be carried out by a hydraulic dredge
with all spoil material pumped to the existing spoil disposal
site at the U.S. Coast Guard Station at Oregon Inlet.
This refinement is subject to the following conditions:
1) This authorization is for a one time excavation only;
no future excavation may be conducted under this
authorization.
2) All excavation must be completed by April 1, 1991 so
as to minimize impacts to fishery resources.
3) No marsh grass will be excavated and/or filled.

(4) The temporary placement or double handling of
excavated or fill materials within waters or
vegetated wetlands is not authorized.
(5) No excavated or fill material will be placed at any
time in any marsh or surrounding waters outside of
the existing, spoil disposal area.
(6) All excavated materials will be confined above mean
high water -and landward of regularly or irregularly
flooded marsh behind adequate dikes or other
retaining structures to prevent spill -over of solids
into any marsh or surrounding waters.
(7) The disposal area effluent will be contained by pipe,
trough or similar device to a point at or beyond the
normal ---- water level to prevent gully erosion and
unnecessary siltation.
(8) The terminal end of the pipeline will be positioned
at or greater than fifty (50) feet from any part of
the dike and a maximum distance from spillways to
allow settlement of suspended solids.
(9) A water control structure will be installed at the
intake end of the effluent pipe to assure compliance
with water quality standards.
(10) The diked disposal area will be constructed a
sufficient distance from the mean high water level or
any marsh to eliminate the possibility of dike
erosion into or upon any marsh and/or surrounding
waters.
(11) The dike and spoil area will be properly graded and
provided a ground cover sufficient to restrain
erosion within thirty (30) working days of project
completion.
This refinement letter should be attached to CAMA emergency
permit #7642A and be available onsite for review by state and
federal agencies.

Dear Sir:
SUBJECT: Dare County, Bonner Bridge, Oregon Inlet,
modification to existing LAMA permit 7642A.
LAMA Permit 7642A was issued January 25, 1991, and
authorized the construction of ferry ramps, dolphin clusters
and an access road for the emergency ferry service at Oregon
Inlet, Dare County. However, this permit requires the
complete removal and restoration of the ferry ramp sites on
Bodie and Pea Islands.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation intends
to propose leaving the ferry access road and loading ramps
for use in future emergencies. This matter has been
discussed with the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). These agencies
appear to be receptive to granting the appropriate land use
permits, provided that NCDOT complies with certain
stipulations. Among these stipulations, USFWS is requiring
2:1 mitigation for the loss of 0.3 acres of salt marsh.
As you are aware, it is difficult to locate a site
suitable for marsh creation or restoration. We are currently
investigating a variety of options. Once we develop a
conceptual mitigation plan, we will submit our request for a
permit modification.
