Raney, Jr., electronically and U.S. Mail Amanda Little, Esq. electronically Robert R. Emory, Jr. electronically Braxton Davis, electronically Angela Willis, electronically STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA COUNTY OF BRUNSWICK IN THE MATTER OF: PETITION FOR VARIANCE BY ATLANTIC TELEPHONE MEMBERSHIP CORPORTION, INC. BEFORE THE NORTH CAROLINA COASTAL RESOURCES COMMISSION CRC-VR-12 FINAL ORDER GRANTING VARIANCE This matter was heard on oral arguments and stipulated facts at the regularly scheduled meeting of the North Carolina Coastal Resources Commission (hereinafter CRC) with Vice Chair Joan Weld Presiding on February 8, 2012 in Beaufort, North Carolina pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 113A-120.1 and 15A NCAC 7J .0700, et seq. Assistant Attorney General Amanda P. Little, Esq. appeared for the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Coastal Management. William A. Raney, Jr., Esq. appeared on behalf of Petitioner Atlantic Telephone Membership Corporation, Inc. (hereinafter "Petitioner" or "ATMC"). Upon consideration of the record documents and the arguments of the parties, the CRC adopts the following: STIPULATED FACTS 1. The Petitioner, Atlantic Telephone Membership Corporation (ATMC or Company) is a telephone membership corporation providing telephone, internet, and cable and wireless communication services to Brunswick County, North Carolina. 2. The Company currently provides telephone and related services to Bald Head Island by wireless transmissions. 3. On or about December 1, 2011, Petitioner applied to DCM for a CAMA minor permit for the placement of a fiber optic cable connection from existing ATMC facilities on Oak Island to Bald Head Island to provide a land line and to increase the reliability, quality and RECEIVED DCM WILMINGTON, NC MAR 0 2 2012 capacity of services to Bald Head which is now dependent on microwave and satellite technology. 4. DCM staff act as the permit processing agent in the Town of Caswell Beach (Town), as Caswell Beach has no LPO program. While a small portion of the project is in Oak Island, most of the project, and all of the section needing a variance, is located within Caswell Beach. 5. The CAMA permit requested by the Company is to authorize the installation of an underground fiber optic cable from a substation on Oak Island to a Progress Energy splice cabinet at the Baptist Assembly property at Fort Caswell on the west bank of the mouth of the Cape Fear River and to connect this cable to a fiber optic already installed in a conduit by Progress Energy that goes under the Cape Fear River to a splice cabinet on Bald Head Island. Most of the cable is proposed to be placed in the right-of-way of Caswell Beach Road (SR 1100). 6. The underground cable will be installed over a distance of 22,128 linear feet. 7. The portion of Caswell Beach Road that is the subject of this variance request is in the Ocean Erodible Area AEC as defined in CRC Rule 15A NCAC 7H .0304. 8. There are two segments of the project, one of 1,170 linear feet and one of 1,800 linear feet, where the cable is proposed to be located within the Ocean Hazard setback as defined in 15A NCAC 7H .0306(a). However, all of the proposed cable installation and related development activity will be landward of the applicable vegetation line or measurement line. 9. On December 20, 2011, DCM denied Petitioner's CAMA permit application due to portions of the project not meeting the applicable ocean erosion setbacks of 15A NCAC 7H .0306(a)(2)(i). RECEIVED DCM WILMINGTON, NC 2 MAR 0 2 2012 10. The portion of the cable in the Town of Caswell Beach will be within the right-of- way of Caswell Beach Road which runs parallel to the ocean shoreline for the entire length of Caswell Beach. 11. Petitioner has obtained an easement from DOT to place the cable in the right-of- way of Caswell Beach Road. 12. All of the cable that will be located within the Ocean Hazard setback is located on the landward side of Caswell Beach Road, except for about 170 linear feet which crosses to the ocean side of the road in the vicinity of the pump station for the Progress Energy cooling water canal. 13. The applicant prefers for this 170 linear feet of fiber optic cable to cross from the north side of the road to the south side in the vicinity of the Progress Energy pump station to avoid other utility lines on the north side of the road, but the applicant is willing to continue the lines on the north side of the road for the necessary distance to avoid encroachment into the setback for this portion of the project requiring a variance. 14. At the point where the proposed cable crosses to the ocean side of Caswell Beach Road there are residential structures located on the south side of Caswell Beach Road. 15. The current Ocean Hazard setback for the project area measured form the vegetation line or static vegetation line varies in width from 60-feet to 165-feet depending on the long-term annual erosion rate applicable to various segments of the shoreline. 16. For the portion of the cable needing a variance, the applicable average annual erosion rates currently range from 3.5-feet per year to 5.5-feet per year. 17. DCM has completed an update of the long-term average annual erosion rate for 3 RECEIVED DCM WILMINGTON, N MAR 0 2 2012 the North Carolina coast which, for Caswell Beach, reduces the long-term annual erosion rate to 2-feet per year for the entire project area, including the variance area. While this new rate has not yet been adopted by the CRC or used for permitting purposes, it was presented to the CRC at its May 2011 meeting, and was then sent out for fiscal analysis and public hearing. The fiscal analysis is still ongoing, so no public hearings have been held to date. 18. If the new erosion rate is adopted, the entire project area will be subject to a 60- foot setback based on a 2-foot per year average annual erosion rate, and the entire project proposed by the applicant will comply with the ocean hazard setback. 19. Details of the installation of the cable are contained in the Project Narrative. 20. Approximately 500-feet of the 1,170-foot segment will be installed in an existing conduit. 21. No objections to this project were received during DCM's permit review. 22. The Power -Point presentation includes site photographs and maps submitted with the permit application showing the overall project, and the specific areas where the variance is requested. 23. Petitioner requests this variance to develop the project as proposed in its application materials. 24. Petitioner and Respondent stipulated to the following exhibits which were presented to the Commission for consideration before the variance hearing: a. Minor Permit Application form with Ocean Hazard Disclosures form b. Project Narrative for installation of the cable c. Petitioner's easement from DOT d. DCM's Denial Letter e. Power -point with site photos, Maps 5-9, and a copy of the proposed (but not adopted) RECEIVED new erosion rates for Caswell Beach DCM WILMINGTON, NC MAR 0 2 2012 4 CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 1 _ The CRC has jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter. 2. All notices for the proceeding were adequate and proper. 3. Petitioner has demonstrated that strict application of Rule 15A NCAC 7H .0306(a)(2)(i) to the permit application will result in unnecessary hardship. Specifically, Petitioner is proposing to enhance its telephone and wireless services to Bald Head Island by installation of a fiber optic cable to connect Bald Head to the company's facilities on the mainland. The service enhancement involves connecting an existing substation on Oak Island with an existing fiber optic cable under the Cape Fear River at Fort Caswell on the west bank of the mouth of the Cape Fear River. To make the connection it is necessary to lay underground fiber optic cable from the substation to a splice box at the North Carolina Baptist Assembly property at Fort Caswell. The logical and practical location for laying such a line in a fully developed area such as Caswell Beach is by using the right-of-way of existing roads where utility lines are generally located. Strict application of the ocean hazard setback causes an unnecessary hardship on the applicant by effectively preventing the applicant from installing the fiber optic line the most practical and feasible location. Thus, the Commission affirmatively finds that strict application of Rule 15A NCAC 7H .0306(a)(2)(1) would cause an unnecessary hardship by preventing Petitioner installing the fiber optic line in the existing road right -of way and Petitioner has met the first factor required in order for the Commission to grant a variance. 4. Petitioner has demonstrated that this hardship results from conditions peculiar to Petitioner's property such as the location, size, or topography of the property. Specifically, the project is located within the existing right-of-way for Caswell Beach Road. This is the only state RECEIVED DCM WILMINGTON, NC 5 MAR 0 2 2012 maintained highway providing a route for the cable to Fort Caswell. The entire width of the right-of-way is within the ocean hazard area setback for most of the area where the variance is sought. While the location of a single public highway along a barrier island is not unique to Caswell Beach, it is a peculiar circumstance that requires special consideration in providing much needed utility services to persons in existing communities. Furthermore, the placement of the fiber optics cable is limited because as a result of the excavation for the Brunswick Nuclear Plant cooling water outfall canal, which runs across the island, there is little high ground suitable for placement of the cable in the middle of the Town. Because of the unique geographic features of the island, including the bottle -neck formed by the canal and the ocean shoreline, the possible locations for the proposed cable are limited. Such conditions are peculiar to Petitioner's easement property and result in a hardship. Thus, the Commission affirmatively finds that Petitioner's hardship is caused by conditions peculiar to the easement property and Petitioner meets the second factor required for a variance. 5. The Petitioner has demonstrated that this hardship does not result from actions taken by Petitioner. Specifically, the hardship results from the fact that the state highway is within the setback area. The highway was built well before CAMA was enacted and the applicant has no control over the erosion rate or the location of the road. Other routes would be problematic due to the inability to use the existing conduit, the difficulty in acquiring easements from multiple owners, the need to avoid the highly secured and regulated area around the cooling water outfall canal for the Progress Energy Brunswick Nuclear Plant, and the need to avoid other utility lines. Thus, the Commission affirmatively finds that Petitioner did not cause the hardship and mec"4eJiirrd factor required in order for a variance to be granted. CCM WILMINGTO . NC MAR 0 2 2012 6 6. The Petitioner has demonstrated (a) that the requested variance is consistent with the spirit, purpose and intent of the Commission's rules, (b) that it will secure public safety and welfare, and (c) that it will preserve substantial justice. Specifically, the Commission finds that Petitioner has shown the following: a. Consistent with the Spirit Purpose and Intent of the Rule. The intent of the rule is to prevent development which will likely be lost or damage due to erosion within a short period of time. The area where the cable encroaches into the ocean hazard setback is an area where current long-term erosion rates have changed but the change has not yet been incorporated in the CRC rules. Once the new erosion rates are officially adopted the proposed ralule ,,:�; ,,,,t Cc located in the setback based on the current vegetation line. T-" road along which the cable will be placed serves as the uniy access to areas of significant development including a US Coast Guard station, the North Carolina Baptist Assembly at Fort Caswell and over 150 single family dwellings. The Commission expects that all reasonable efforts will be made to maintain and protect this vital road and the other utility services already located within the right-of-way. The addition of the fiber optic line will not increase the risk or expense in protecting this existing right-of-way. b. Variance requested will Secure Public Safety and Welfare. Fiber optic service to Bald Head will provide a significant benefit to emergency medical serv;'_'_Z; ;uid other public safety officials on Bald Head and the mainland by enabling them to maintain more secure and reliable communications. This is particularly important for emergency medical services, severe weather situations and law enforcement activities. The municipal government of 1Bald Head will benefit by improved and more reliable wireless data services and better wireless communication 7 RECEIVED DCM WILMINGTON, NC MAR 0 2 2012 on the island and with the mainland. c. Variance will Preserve Substantial Justice. Justice is preserved by allowing a public utility service provider to provide quality service to all of its customers and by allowing all residents of existing residential communities to have access to high quality utility services. For these reasons, the Commission affirmatively finds that Petitioner has satisfied the fourth requirement by showing that the requested variance meets the spirit, purpose, and intent of the rules, secures Public safety and welfare and preserves substantial justice. ORDER EIREFORE, the variance from 15A NCAC 7H. 0306(a)(2)(1) is GRANTED. The granting of this variance dues not relieve Petitioner of the responsibility for obtaining a CAMA permit from the proper permitting authority. This variance is based upon the Stipulated Facts set forth above. The Commission reserves the right to reconsider the granting of this van�nce and to take any appropriate action should it be shown that any of the above Stipulated Facts is not true.

While a small portion of the project is in Oak Island, most of the project, and all of the section needing a variance, is located within Caswell Beach. 5. The CAMA permit requested by the Company is to authorize the installation of an underground fiber optic cable from a substation on Oak Island to a Progress Energy splice cabinet at the Baptist Assembly property at Fort Caswell on the west bank of the mouth of the Cape Fear River and to connect this cable to a fiber optic already installed in a conduit by Progress Energy that goes under the Cape Fear River to a splice cabinet on Bald Head Island. Most of the cable is proposed to be placed in the right-of-way of Caswell Beach Road (SR 1100). 6. The underground cable will be installed over a distance of 22,128 linear feet. 7. The portion of Caswell Beach Road that is the subject of this variance request is in the Ocean Erodible Area AEC as defined in CRC Rule 15A NCAC 7H .0304. 8. There are two segments of the project, one of 1,170 linear feet and one of 1,800 linear feet, where the cable is proposed to be located within the Ocean Hazard setback as defined in 15A NCAC 711.0306(a). However, all of the proposed cable installation and related development activity will be landward of the applicable vegetation line or measurement line. 9. On December 20, 2011, DCM denied Petitioner's CAMA permit application due to portions of the project not meeting the applicable ocean erosion setbacks of 15A NCAC 7H .0306(a)(2)(i). A copy of the pe! rnit denial letter is attached. 10. The portion of the cable in the Town of Caswell Beach will be within the right-of-way of Caswell Beach Road which runs parallel to the ocean shoreline for the entire length of Caswell Beach. 11. Petitioner has obtained an easement from DOT to place the cable in the right-of-way of Caswell Beach Road, a copy of which is attached. 12. All of the cable that will be located within the Ocean Hazard setback is located on the landward side of Caswell Beach Road, except for about 170 linear feet which crosses to the ocean side of the road in the vicinity of the pump station for the Progress Energy cooling water canal. 13. The applicant prefers for this 170 linear feet of fiber optic cable to cross from the north side of the road to the south side in the vicinity of the Progress Energy pump station to avoid other utility lines on the north side of the road, but the applicant is willing to continue the lines on the north side of the road for the necessary distance to avoid encroachment into the setback for this portion of the project requiring a variance. 14. At the point where the proposed cable crosses to the ocean side of Caswell Beach Road there are residential structures located on the south side of Caswell Beach Road. 15. The current Ocean Hazard setback for the project area measured from the vegetation line or static vegetation line varies in width from 60-feet to 165-feet depending on the long- term annual erosion rate applicable to various segments of the shoreline. 16. For the portion of the cable needing a variance, the applicable average annual erosion rates currently range from 3.5-feet per year to 5.5-feet per year. 17. DCM has completed an update of the long-term average annual erosion rate for the North Carolina coast which, for Caswell Beach, reduces the long-term annual erosion rate to 2- feet per year for the entire project area, including the variance area. While this new rate has not yet been adopted by the CRC or used for permitting purposes, it was presented to the CRC at its May 2011 meeting, and was then sent out for fiscal analysis and public hearing. The fiscal analysis is still ongoing, so no public hearings have been held to date. A copy of the map showing the current and proposed new erosion rates for Caswell Beach are attached. 18. If the new erosion rate is adopted, the entire project area will be subject to a 60-foot setback based on a 2-feet per year average annual erosion rate, and the entire project proposed by the applicant will comply with the ocean hazard setback. 19. Details of the installation of the cable are contained in the Proiect'T.,rrative attached. 20. Approximately 500-feet of the 1,1 70 'It Jegment will be installed in an existing conduit. 21. No objections to this project were received during DCM's permit review. 22. The Power -Point presentation, attached, includes site photographs and maps submitted with the permit application showing the overall project, and the specific areas where the variance is requested. 23. Petitioner requests this variance to develop the project as proposed in its application materials. STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA COUNTY OF BRUNS WICK IN THE MATTER OF: PETITION FOR VARIANCE BY ATLANTIC TELEPHONE MEMBERSHIP CORPORTION, INC. BEFORE THE NORTH CAROLINA COASTAL RESOURCES COMMISSION CRC-VR-12 FINAL ORDER GRANTING VARIANCE This matter was heard on oral arguments and stipulated facts at the regularly scheduled meeting of the North Carolina Coastal Resources Commission (hereinafter CRC) with Vice Chair Joan Weld Presiding on February 8, 2012 in Beaufort, North Carolina pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 113A-120.1 and 15A NCAC 7J .0700, et seq. Assistant Attorney General Amanda P. Little, Esq. appeared for the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Coastal Management. William A. Raney, Jr., Esq. appeared on behalf of Petitioner Atlantic Telephone Membership Corporation, Inc. (hereinafter "Petitioner" or "ATMC"). Upon consideration of the record documents and the arguments of the parties, the CRC adopts the following: STIPULATED FACTS 1. The Petitioner, Atlantic Telephone Membership Corporation (ATMC or Company) is a telephone membership corporation providing telephone, internet, and cable and wireless communication services to Brunswick County, North Carolina. 2. The Company currently provides telephone and related services to Bald Head Island by wireless transmissions. 3. On or about December 1, 2011, Petitioner applied to DCM for a CAMA minor permit for the placement of a fiber optic cable connection from existing ATMC facilities on Oak Island to Bald Head Island to provide a land line and to increase the reliability, quality and RS MAR 0 2 2012 capacity of services to Bald Head which is now dependent on microwave and satellite technology. 4. DCM staff act as the permit processing agent in the Town of Caswell Beach (Town), as Caswell Beach has no LPO program. While a small portion of the project is in Oak Island, most of the project, and all of the section needing a variance, is located within Caswell Beach. 5. The CAMA permit requested by the Company is to authorize the installation of an underground fiber optic cable from a substation on Oak Island to a Progress Energy splice cabinet at the Baptist Assembly property at Fort Caswell on the west bank of the mouth of the Cape Fear River and to connect this cable to a fiber optic already installed in a conduit by Progress Energy that goes under the Cape Fear River to a splice cabinet on Bald Head Island. Most of the cable is proposed to be placed in the right-of-way of Caswell Beach Road (SR 1100). 6. The underground cable will be installed over a distance of 22,128 linear feet. 7. The portion of Caswell Beach Road that is the subject of this variance request is in the Ocean Erodible Area AEC as defined in CRC Rule 15A NCAC 7H .0304. 8. There are two segments of the project, one of 1,170 linear feet and one of 1,800 linear feet, � here the cable is proposed to be located within the Ocean Hazard setback as defined in 15A NCAC 7H .0306(a). However, all of the proposed cable installation and related development activity will be landward of the applicable vegetation line or measurement line. 9. On December 20, 2011, DCM denied Petitioner's CAMA permit application due to portions of the project not meeting the applicable ocean erosion setbacks of 15A NCAC 7H 0306(a)(2)(i). 2 10. The portion of the cable in the Town of Caswell Beach will be within the right-of- way of Caswell Beach Road which runs parallel to the ocean shoreline for the entire length of Caswell Beach. 11. Petitioner has obtained an easement from DOT to place the cable in the right-of- way of Caswell Beach Road. 11 All of the cable that will be located within the Ocean Hazard setback is located on the landward side of Caswell Beach Road, except for about 170 linear feet which crosses to the ocean side of the road in the vicinity of the pump station for the Progress Energy cooling water canal. 13. The applicant prefers for this 170 linear feet of fiber optic cable to cross from the north side of the road to the south side in the vicinity of the Progress Energy pump station to avoid other utility lines on the north side of the road, but the applicant is willing to continue the lines on the north side of the road for the necessary distance to avoid encroachment into the setback for this portion of the project requiring a variance. 14. At the point where the proposed cable crosses to the ocean side of Caswell Beach Road there are residential structures located on the south side of Caswell Beach Road. 15. The current Ocean Hazard setback for the project area measured form the vegetation line or static vegetation line varies in width from 60-feet to 165-feet depending on the long-term annual erosion rate applicable to various segments of the shoreline. 16. For the portion of the cable needing a variance, the applicable average annual erosion rates currently range from 3.5-feet per year to 5.5-feet per year. 17. DCM has completed an update of the long-term average annual erosion rate for 3 the North Carolina coast which, for Caswell Beach, reduces the long-term annual erosion rate to 2-feet per year for the entire project area, including the variance area. While this new rate has not yet been adopted by the CRC or used for permitting purposes, it was presented to the CRC at its May 2011 meeting, and was then sent out for fiscal analysis and public hearing. The fiscal analysis is still ongoing, so no public hearings have been held to date. 18. If the new erosion rate is adopted, the entire project area will be subject to a 60- foot setback based on a 2-foot per year average annual erosion rate, and the entire project proposed by the applicant will comply with the ocean hazard setback. 19. Details of the installation of the cable are contained in the Project Narrative. 20. Approximately 500-feet of the 1,170-foot segment will be installed in an existing conduit. 21. No objections to this project were received during DCM's permit review. 22. The Power -Point presentation includes site photographs and maps submitted with the permit application showing the overall project, and the specific areas where the variance is requested. 23. Petitioner requests this variance to develop the project as proposed in its application materials. 24. Petitioner and Respondent stipulated to the following exhibits which were presented to the Commission for consideration before the variance hearing: a. Minor Permit Application form with Ocean Hazard Disclosures form b. Project Narrative for installation of the cable c. Petitioner's easement from DOT d. DCM's Denial Letter e. Power -point with site photos, Maps 5-9, and a copy of the proposed (but not adopted) new erosion rates for Caswell Beach 4 CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 1. The CRC has jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter. 2. All notices for the proceeding were adequate and proper. 3. Petitioner has demonstrated that strict application of Rule 15A NCAC 7H .0306(a)(2)(1) to the permit application will result in unnecessary hardship. Specifically, Petitioner is proposing to enhance its telephone and wireless services to Bald Head Island by installation of a fiber optic cable to connect Bald Head to the company's facilities on the mainland. The service enhancement involves connecting an existing substation on Oak Island with an existing fiber optic cable under the Cape Fear River at Fort Caswell on the west bank of the mouth of the Cape Fear River. To make the connection it is necessary to lay underground fiber optic cable from the substation to a splice box at the North Carolina Baptist Assembly property at Fort Caswell. The logical and practical location for laying such a line in a fully developed area such as Caswell Beach is by using the right-of-way of existing roads where utility lines are generally located. Strict application of the ocean hazard setback causes an unnecessary hardship on the applicant by effectively preventing the applicant from installing the fiber optic line the most practical and feasible location. Thus, the Commission affirmatively finds that strict application of Rule 15A NCAC 7H .0306(a)(2)(i) would cause an unnecessary hardship by preventing Petitioner installing the fiber optic line in the existing road right -of way and Petitioner has met the first factor required in order for the Commission to grant a variance. 4. Petitioner has demonstrated that this hardship results from conditions peculiar to Petitioner's property such as the location, size, or topography of the property. Specifically, the project is located within the existing right-of-way for Caswell Beach Road. This is the only state 1? on the island and with the mainland. c. Variance will Preserve Substantial Justice. Justice is preserved by allowing a public utility service provider to provide quality service to all of its customers and by allowing all residents of existing residential communities to have access to high quality utility services. For these reasons, the Commission affirmatively finds that Petitioner has satisfied the fourth requirement by showing that the requested variance meets the spirit, purpose, and intent of the rules, secures Public safety and welfare and preserves substantial justice. e ;_I ; THEREFORE, the variance from 15A NCAC 7H. 0306(a)(2)(1) is GRANTED. The granting of this variance does not relieve Petitioner of the responsibility for obtaining a CAMA permit from the proper permitting authority. This variance is based upon the Stipulated Facts set forth above. The Commission reserves the right to reconsider the granting of this variance and to take any appropriate action should it be shown that any of the above Stipulated Facts is not true.

Davis Director RE: DENIAL OF CAMA MINOR DEVELOPMENT PERMIT APPLICATION NUMBER- Cas 11-05 PROJECT ADDRESS- Elizabeth Dr.- County Club Dr. -Caswell Beach Road -Ft. Caswell Dear Mr. Dutton: Dee Freeman Secretary After reviewing your application in conjunction with the development standards required by the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) and our locally adopted Land Use Plan and Ordinances, it is my determination that no permit may be granted for the project which you have proposed. This decision is based on my findings that your request violates NCGS 11 3A-1 20(a)(8) which requires that all applications be denied which are inconsistent with CAMA guidelines. You have applied to install a fiber optic cable line within the right-of-way from Elizabeth Drive east to Country Club Drive to Caswell Beach Rd east to Fort Caswell which is inconsistent with 15 NCAC 7H .0306(a)(2)(i), which states that: "Infrastructure that is linear in nature such as (... ] utilities providing for the transmission of electricity, water, telephone, cable television, data, stormwater and sewer requires a minimum setback of 60 feet or 30 times the shoreline erosion rate, whichever is greater". Should you wish to appeal my decision to the Coastal Resource Commission or request a variance from that group, please contact me so I can provide you with the proper forms and any other information you may require. The Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City must receive appeal notices within twenty (20) days of the date of this letter in order to be considered. Respectfully yours, Heather Coats Field Representative cc: Wilmington Files Ted Tyndall, DCM 127 Cardinal Drive Ext., Wilmington, NC 28405 One Phone: 910-796-72151 FAX: 910-395-3964 Internet: www.nccoastalmanagement.net NorthCarolina ATMC Project Narrative Caswell Beach Route The Atlantic Telephone Membership Corporation ("ATMC") proposes to install 22,128 linear feet of fiber optic conduit in the road base of existing, maintained road right-of-way in the City of Caswell Beach, Brunswick County. An encroachment agreement has been made with the North Carolina Department of Transportation that is attached to this application. Three methods of construction are proposed: install fiber in existing conduit, static plow slit trenching, and directional bore. There is approximately 1484 feet of existing conduit in Caswell Beach where new fiber will be pulled through the conduit. This area is shown on the project drawings. During typical plowing operation, the plow blade on the static plow disturbs an area of approximately 3-4 inches in width. Our calculations for surface disturbance used a plow blade/disturbance width of 8 inches as a safety factor. The plow is also set up as an all -in -one operation in that the blade opens a slit trench, places the conduit and then closes and compacts the trench all in one operation. In most cases it is nearly impossible to tell the plow has been through an area, especially if it is within an existing road right-of-way. The disturbance associated with properly operated small directional drilling rigs is almost imperceptible once the drill finishes a bore. An average 2' x 2' disturbance area for each entry and exit site associated with the small drill rig set-up is typical. The rig entry hole is very small (diameter of the drill stem) and has no pit and the exit area is much the same. In some instances, a small pit might be created. For the purpose of estimating disturbance, we have used a standardized area of disturbance equal to a 2'x2' area for each set-up site (entry & exit). Even though the process is very costly, significantly more boring is being incorporated than originally estimated at the outset of this project in order to reduce disturbance impacts and also to clear existing buried utilities. During directional bore operations, a 2' x 3' handhole is dug approximately every 2,200 feet. These small, temporary areas of disturbance will be backfilled with segregated soils and stabilized in accordance with approved best management practices including but not limited to mulch, erosion control blankets or sod. The project is not anticipated to produce any impact to native geology or special soils, critical farmlands, biological resources, wetlands and/or threatened and endangered species. Evaluation of the proposed project indicates no anticipated impact to land use, zoning issues, coastal resources, air quality, noise, traffic patterns, public health and safety. There are no known cumulative or secondary impacts associated with the proposed project. RECEIVED DCM WILMINGTON, NC The proposed construction will not alter existing ground elevations. The route alignments are designed to make use of existing and maintained transportation and utility corridors, thus eliminating the need to clear new right-of-way or disturb natural habitat. No clearing or removal of vegetation is proposed for purposes of stockpiling equipment or materials. Rather, equipment will be parked overnight at existing ATMC locations in Caswell. Materials such as conduit will be on a double axle trailer, which will move with the mobile work unit. During initial pre -application teleconferences with CAMA District LPO Coordinator Heather Coats, it was discovered that approximately 500 linear feet of shoreline on Caswell Beach and all of Ft. Caswell did not have established static vegetation lines. Subsequently, Ms. Coats determined the appropriate location of the lines and staked both areas in the field. ATMC surveyors located the stakes and submitted the latitude/longitude data to Phoenix. Those newly - established lines are shown on the attached exhibits. The setback lines are calculated using the CAMA "A" line, where the setback factor of a given area is multiplied by 30 to determine the setback from the static vegetation line. This information is shown on the exhibits so it is apparent how the cable line relates to the setbacks. Based on this information, it appears the new cable will be waterward of the setback line in two areas on Caswell Beach. The western area is approximately 1170 feet in length, and the eastern area is approximately 1800 feet in length. We understand that, if this is the case, a variance may need to be requested for those areas. In summary, total disturbance for the Caswell Beach/ Fort Caswell project is 3,986 square feet spread out over the 4.19 miles of route alignment. Fort Caswell is 2,687 sq ft of disturbance and Caswell Beach is 1,299 sq ft of disturbance. Based on the techniques described, ATMC anticipates very minimal disturbance. The majority of the alignment is located approximately six feet from the edge of pavement, except in the area near the Lady Bird Canal outflow where the offset from edge of pavement will be closer to eight feet off the edge. This project entails a significant public interest component as EMS / first responder communication upgrades are part of the network enhancement. Details of the project disturbance and assumptions used are found below: CASWELL BEACH: Total construction length 17,691 linear feet RECEIVED DCM WILMINGT©N, NC Length of existing conduit: 1484 linear feet DEC 0 1 2011 Length bored: 14,438 linear feet Handhole spacing every 2,200 feet = 7 handholes Handhole disturbance 6 sf.
