I understand that all of the repairs to the bulkhead immediately will be would be expensive and I understand your desire to defer the most expensive portion of work from the offset to the boat basin along the canal. However, my consent is based upon the understanding that when the work is done it will be done as shown on CAMA consent form.

I understand from your drawing that you will make repairs to the bulkhead from the intersection with the Tayloe bulkhead along the river and then along the canal to the intersection with my bulkhead in the boat house section. You are proposing to extend the bulkhead along the canal from the river into the canal by 20 inches to the point of the offset in the current bulkhead and then from there 20 inches inside the existing bulkhead landward to the point of intersection with my bulkhead. My only suggestion is to make the corner where the bulkhead turns towards the boat house a 45° angle rather than the 90 as it is now. While the canal will be narrowed to the point of the offset a 45 would help the river flush the stagnant water from the boat house section of the canal and reduce the toxic algae blooms in the summer. It would give you better access to your boat lift and help me and others make the turn toward my bulkhead without reversing. As I said before, having fresh water in the canal, without toxic algae, that is usable for recreational purposes, with clean water, less flooding and good access to your boat lifts, the boat ramp and my bulkhead will benefit you and the value of your property as well as mine and the public. I got your sketch yesterday. I plan to be there on Friday and will bring the your form with me. With best wishes, William P Few CC: Dept.

In order to respond, please send me a drawing of exactly what you are proposing so there is no misunderstanding. A markup of a copy of your survey would be good. CAMA will require something similar for the permit to show the location and dimensions of the project. You will want that for your contractor as well. I understand from your email that you are proposing to proceed with repairs to the bulkhead on the river and are proposing not to do any work or repairs to the bulkhead along the canal. So we don't have to go through this exercise again in a month or a year or with the next owner should you decide to sell, I would like an agreement that any further repairs to the bulkhead (including the portion you are proposing to repair now) will be made behind the existing bulkhead with no further intrusion into the public waterway. While repairs to the bulkhead made behind the existing bulkhead may be inconvenient, perhaps more expensive and may damage your grass, your grass will regrow but further intrusions narrowing the public waterway will do irreparable damage to the canal we share with the public. Protecting the public waterway is important. Having fresh water in the canal, as opposed to toxic algae during the warm months of summer will be important to you. In the long-run, having a canal that is usable for recreational purposes, with clean water, less flooding to our property and good access to your boat lifts, the boat ramp and my bulkhead will benefit you and the value of your property as well as mine and the public. As you know Washington Park recently spent $50,000±to address the flooding, drainage issues to the canal. our property and private road. I'm glad you appreciate that protecting the canal is important. CAMA's regulations provide that bulkheads shall not interfere with the established and traditional rights of use of waterways by the public. There is a work-around that can result in replacement or repair of your bulkhead without further intrusion into the canal. Again, I learned of the proposed replacement bulkhead on 1/16/21.and responded to you on the 17th. I am responding to your update I received yesterday. I wish we had more time to think about these issues and look for a proper work- around. With best wishes, William P Few CC: Dept. Coastal Management, CAMA 943 Washington Mall Washington, NC 27889 Atten. Kelly.Spivey@NCDENR.gov William P. Few January 17, 2021 Reply to: William P. Few 601 Isabella Ave. Washington Park NC 27889 lawfew68@gmail.com 919-423 4967 Mr. Stuart Egli 603 Isabella Ave Washington Park, NC seelia4@yahoo.com 714-225-6591 Re: Replacement of Your Bulkhead Dear Stuart, As you know the canal provides the view of the river from our sun porch that we enjoy every day and represents a significant part of the value of our property at the head of the canal. The canal is our waterfront. It is the reason we bought the house sixteen years ago. You know we use the canal for boating, rowing and small boat sailing. Further unchecked and repeated nar- rowing of the canal will make sailing to my bulkhead more difficult if not impossible and do ir- reparable damage to a navigable waterway. Others in the community use the canal for fishing and recreational purposes. There are bass boats in the canal every weekend. Multiple Intrusions. The bulkhead along the canal adjacent to your lot has been replaced at least twice if not three times. Each time narrowing the canal by 3 to 4 feet. That may explain the 5 ±foot offset at the midpoint of the bulkhead on your property on the western side of the canal. The bulkhead on the eastern side of the canal has been replaced at least twice and most recently within the last year. Each replacement of the bulkheads along the eastern and western side of the canal has reduced the width of the canal by 3 to 4 feet. The canal is con- siderably narrower now than it was when our houses were built — probably by 10 to 15 feet. Before multiple replacements and intrusions into the canal, Mr. Hackney moored a 40 foot± yacht in the navigable waterway. That could not be done today. Decreased Water Quality. With each bulkhead replacement and intrusion into the canal the flow of fresh water to the canal from the river has been reduced. That has and significantly af- fected the water quality of the canal. Stagnant water has increased organic matter in the ca- nal and resulted in toxic algae blooms in the warm summer months in recent years. Increased Flooding. The canal serves as storm water drainage for the easternmost part of Washington Park. It is the outfall to the river for a series of Washington Park drainage ditches throughout the immediate area. Reducing the flow to the river from the drainage ditches backs water up in the drainage ditches contributing flooding adjacent properties. The com- pounding effect of narrowing the canal with each bulkhead replacement has increased flood- ing of my property and other nearby properties and extended the time for flood waters to re- cede. This situation will only get worse over time. Must Balance Interests. Property owners and CAMA must balance the interests of those who use the canal for boating access, recreational purposes and enjoy the view of the river the canal provides with your need to maintain your bulkhead and how that maintenance is done. This should be accomplished through cooperation and a rigorous permitting process. A bulkhead contractor's concern is not to balance these interests. Work-Around. I do not object to repair of the bulkhead provided the repair or replacement is behind the existing into the canal.bulkhead and does not result in further intrusionMainte- nance of the bulkhead can be done that is not at the expense of the navigable waterway. The compounding effect of multiple replacements of the bulkheads on both sides of the canal has negatively impacted our ability and that of others to use and enjoy the canal as a navigable waterway. It has negatively impacted access to our bulkhead, the boat ramp, your boat lifts and resulted in lower water quality in the canal and increased flooding of our property. All of which will negatively affect the value of your property as well as mine Adjacent Property. I was not notified by CAMA when the last bulkhead was replaced on the eastern side of the canal. I would not have consented to the further intrusion into the canal had I known. I did, however, go to the CAMA offices in Washington, NC after the last bulkhead replacement and reviewed these issues with CAMA representatives. You may recall I men- tioned these issues to you soon after you purchased your property while in your backyard looking at the repairs necessary to you bulkhead. Permanent Irreparable Damage. I'm sure that there is a work-around that can result in re- placement or repair of your bulkhead without further intrusion into the canal. In the long-term, having a canal that is usable for recreational purposes, with clean water, less flooding and good access to your boat lifts, the boat ramp and my bulkhead will benefit you and the value of your property as well as mine. The damage to your grass by replacing the bulkhead behind your existing bulkhead will be temporary. The grass will regrow. The additional cost, if any, will be minimal when amortized over the life of the replacement. The damage to the navigable waterway by further intrusion into the canal, however, will be permanent. I learned of the proposed replacement bulkhead yesterday 1/16/21. I wish we had more time to think about these issues and look for a proper work- around. With best wishes, William P Few CC: Dept.

I understand from your drawing that you will make repairs to the bulkhead from the intersection with the Tayloe bulkhead along the river and then along the canal to the intersection with my bulkhead in the boat house section. You are proposing to extend the bulkhead along the canal from the river into the canal by 20 inches to the point of the offset in the current bulkhead and then from there 20 inches inside the existing bulkhead landward to the point of intersection with my bulkhead. My only suggestion is to make the corner where the bulkhead turns towards the boat house a 45° angle rather than the 90 as it is now. While the canal will be narrowed to the point of the offset a 45 would help the river flush the stagnant water from the boat house section of the canal and reduce the toxic algae blooms in the summer. It would give you better access to your boat lift and help me and others make the turn toward my bulkhead without reversing. As I said before, having fresh water in the canal, without toxic algae, that is usable for recreational purposes, with clean water, less flooding and good access to your boat lifts, the boat ramp and my bulkhead will benefit you and the value of your property as well as mine and the public. I got your sketch yesterday. I plan to be there on Friday and will bring the your form with me. With best wishes, William P Few CC: Dept.

REGAN Secretary Coastal Management BRAXTON DAVIS ENVIRONMENTAL.QUALITY Director BUFFER AUTHORIZATION CERTIFICATE FOR SHORELINE STABILIZATION A riparian buffer authorization is required for shoreline stabilization activities within the Neuse and Tar-Pamlico River basins per Division of Water Resources(DWR) regulations 15A NCAC 02B.0233 and 0259. The Division of Coastal Management(DCM)through a Memorandum of Understanding with the Division of Water Resources(DWR) has reviewed your project proposal and has determined that the project as proposed complies with the aforementioned regulations. Those activities covered by your Coastal Area Management Act(CAMA)permit have received Buffer Authorization provided the project is constructed in a manner that continues to meet all of the conditions listed below. Failure to • comply with this Buffer Authorization may subject the property owner and the party(contractor) performing the construction and/or land clearing to a civil penalty by DWR of up to$25,000 per day per violation. 1. Impacts: Impacts to woody vegetation from clearing and filling in Zone 1(begins at the most landward of either normal water line(NWL)or normal high water line(NHWL)and extends 30 feet landward)shall be minimized to what must be impacted for the sound installation of the shoreline stabilization project. Unnecessary clearing and • filling in the buffer is a violation of the riparian buffer rules. 2. Clearing& Grading:Clearing and grading of Zone 2 (begins at the landward edge of Zone 1 and extends 20 feet landward) is allowed provided that it is re-vegetated immediately and Zone 1 is not compromised,which includes maintaining diffused (non-channelized)flow of storm water runoff through the buffer. 3. Construction Corridors:Construction corridors are allowed for shoreline stabilization projects, but they must be satisfactorily restored as described in condition 5 below. 4. Potential Overwash: For vertical shoreline stabilization projects (bulkheads)only;sites where wave overwash is expected to be severe,the first ten (10)feet landward (unless specifically authorized otherwise by DCM)from the structure may be maintained as a stable lawn in order to provide for structural stability. s. Temporary Stabilization: Immediately post-construction, bare soils must be stabilized as quickly as possible by providing a temporary ground cover. Newly seeded areas should be protected with mulch and/or erosion matting. This ground cover is a temporary measure used to address erosion until site restoration can be accomplished. 6. Site Restoration:At minimum,pre-project site conditions must be re-established.A site that was wooded prior to this shoreline stabilization project must be restored with woody vegetation at a stem density of 260 stems per acre. Non wooded sites may be re-vegetated with woody vegetation. Restoration must be completed by the first subsequent planting season (NoveTber 1 through March 30) after cempletion of the bulkh ad. • Pre-project site conditions: 4-6-11- 1 .S /Iv16 --ed 1?i44 /ic- a )e-td `�,/CeS 7.
