Griffin St. Suite 300 Elizabeth City, NC 27909 RE: Letter of Refinement Request (CAMA Major 102-17) Dews Island, Currituck County, NC Mr. Renaldi: The purpose of this letter is to formally request a Letter of Refinement to CAMA Major Permit 102-17 for the following items: Item 1: Expansion of the spoil stockpile area on the northwest side of the boat basin from 1,800 sq.ft. to 6,453 sq.ft. The purpose of this is to have sufficient area to place wet spoil material between the dredge and bulkhead backfill activities. This expanded area was reviewed on March 23, 2018. 1 did not observe the presence of any jurisdictional features, and this expansion area is not located within the 30 ft CAMA vegetative buffer. Item 2: Replace an additional 284 linear feet (9) of existing and failing bulkhead and 39 If of a failing water control structure along the canal to the west of the boat basin. Item 3: Dredge period extension request for the area within the existing boat basin. The open water dredge work will be complete prior to April 1, 2018, however, Carolina Marine (contractor) would need some additional time to complete the permitted dredging within the boat basin. Therefore, we are requesting that the dredging inside the basin is allowed to occur until April 20, 2018. In association with this request, the contractor agrees to install a sediment curtain across the mouth of the boat basin. Included with this letter are two copies of the updated CAMA plan. Thanks for your continued assistance with this project. If you have any questions or if you need any additional information, please contact me at 252.261.3300 or at brubino@quible.com.
