Dear Mr. Staples,
This letter is a follow-up to our original letter of April 29, 2122, in which Moffatt and Nichol, on behalf of
the N.C. Division of Mitigation Services, applied for a minor modification to Coastal Area Management
Act (LAMA) Major Permit No. 94-20, which was issued on September 24, 2020. Permit 94-20 authorized
the construction of the 42-acre Pamlico Sound Oyster Sanctuary. This permit also authorized the use of
a stockpile and loading site located off of Hill Road in Engelhard (Hyde County). To date authorized
improvements to the stockpile and loading site have taken place and stockpiling of the riprap material
that will ultimately make up the reef has begun and is ongoing. It is anticipated that transportation via
barge of the riprap material to the reef site should begin by the end of May. However, in order to
facilitate the efficient and safe transfer of the rip rap material to the barges at the loading site, several
site improvements will be required, some of which I believe will require modification to Permit No. 94-
20. These items are summarized as follows:
A) Temporary placement of four 60' x 24"-diameter steel pipe breasting pilings (see attached plan
view drawing). The proposed pipes will extend into the water body a maximum distance of 45',
as measured from the normal high water line. These four steel pipe breasting pilings are
necessary for the safe mooring of the barges that will transport the reef material from this site
to the offshore reef locations. Following project completion (currently anticipated to be
towards the end of 2022), these breasting pilings will be removed.
B) The construction of a temporary sheet pile ramp structure located at the shoreline. This
structure will be located along the shoreline but will not extend to or below the mean high
water line. The location of the temporary ramp is Indicated on the attached plan view drawing.
Please note that the high water line shown on this drawing are incorrect — the true high water
line is along the banked shoreline. This temporary ramp structure will not be located with

CAMA Major Permit 94-20 was issued to the NC Division of Mitigation Services on September
24, 2020 for the construction of the 42-acre Pamlico Sound Oyster Sanctuary and an upland
stockpile and loading area located in Engelhard, NC.
A completed request to modify CAMA Major Permit No. 94-20 was received on June 10, 2020
with the temporary placement of 4 - 60' x 24"-diameter pilings within Far Creek adjacent to the
permitted stock pile area. The proposed pilings will extend into the water body a maximum
distance of 45' from normal high water. The purpose of these pilings is to aid in mooring and
loading of the barge with the reef material. These pilings will be removed following completion
of the project anticipated near the end of 2022. Additionally, to aid in loading the reef material
on the barges a temporary ramp measuring 21'10" long and 25' wide. The ramp will be
.constructed with steel sheet -pile to contain material and will be located at the edge of the
bank. This structure will also be removed after project completion and the area restored to pre -
project conditions.

Dear Mr. Staples,
mollall & nlchol
This letter is a follow-up to our original letter of April 29, 2122, in which Moffatt and Nichol, on behalf of
the N.C. Division of Mitigation Services, applied for a minor modification to Coastal Area Management
Act (CAMA) Major Permit No. 94-20, which was issued on September 24, 2020. Permit 94-20 authorized

B) The construction of a temporary sheet pile ramp structure located at the shoreline. This
structure will be located along the shoreline but will not extend to or below the mean high
water line. The location of the temporary ramp is indicated on the attached plan view drawing.
Please note that the high water line shown on this drawing are incorrect — the true high water
line is along the banked shoreline. This temporary ramp structure will not be located with
wetlands.
JUN 2 0 2022
Flap 11 3ET 10N PA D

The temporary sheet pile ramp structure will be 20'-10" long and 25' wide (see attached sheet
pile structure detail). Following project completion, the ramp structure will be removed, and
the impacted area restored to its pre -project conditions.
With regards to the buffer requirements of the Division of Water Resources, it is believed that
this ramp structure should qualify as an allowable use under either 15A NCAC 02B.0734(11)(ee)
— Temporary Roads, or 15A NCAC 02B.0734(11)(ss) - Vehicle Access Roads Leading to Water
Dependent Activities.
Since our original submittal, I have been able to discuss this issue with Division of Water
Resources staff, and I believe that one of the allowable uses mentioned above should apply in
this case.
C) The Capt. Mike, an abandoned and derelict marine vessel located along the shoreline, will need
to be removed to facilitate safe barge mooring along the shoreline. This vessel does not appear
to be significantly buried In bottom sediments, and should be easily be able to be removed via
barge -based and land -based equipment, with no dredging necessary. This issue was briefly
addressed in the project narrative submitted with the original permit application. Additionally,
the Corps of Engineers indicated in a February 4, 2022 email that:
"The oyster reef project was authorized via the CAMA Major Permit Process and all federal
review and requirements hove been satisfied. The vessel removal was part of the review process
and were authorized through that process.
No further coordination required through our office."
Given the information presented, we do not believe that this vessel removal should require any
additional permit approvals, and we would like to request your agency's concurrence on this
point.
Our original April 29, 2022, modification request also mentioned the repair of an existing
dilapidated dock along the shoreline. The Contractor now indicates that the repair of this dock
is no longer necessary, so please consider the originally proposed dock improvements as being
deleted from the modification request.
Additionally, as you and I have previously discussed, the originally permitted staging area has
been expanded beyond what was originally included in the original permit application package
for this project. The expanded staging area, which has already received stormwater approval
from the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources, includes an expanding staging area
and alternative access road. All of the expanded staging area takes place a minimum of 75'
landward from the normal high water line. With this information in mind, we respectfully
request that the expanded staging area be included as a part of the permitted project, and this
information be included as part of the permitted project. ,{ C Fw FR P .,, r,

24, 2020 for the construction of the 42-acre Pamlico Sound Oyster Sanctuary and an upland
stockpile and loading area located in Engelhard, NC.
A completed request to modify CAMA Major Permit No. 94-20 was received on June 10, 2020
with the temporary placement of 4 - 60' x 24"-diameter pilings within Far Creek adjacent to the
permitted stock pile area. The proposed pilings will extend into the water body a maximum
distance of 45' from normal high water. The purpose of these pilings is to aid in mooring and
loading of the barge with the reef material. These pilings will be removed following completion
of the project anticipated near the end of 2022. Additionally, to aid in loading the reef material
on the barges a temporary ramp measuring 21'10" long and 25' wide. The ramp will be
constructed with steel sheet -pile to contain material and will be located at the edge of the
bank. This structure will also be removed after project completion and the area restored to pre -
project conditions.

Page 2 of 3
If you are unable to comply with any of the conditions below, you must notify the Washington Regional
Office within 24 hours (or the next business day if a weekend or holiday) from the time the permittee
becomes aware of the circumstances.
The permittee shall report to the Washington Regional Office any noncompliance with the conditions of
this Authorization Certificate and/or any violation of state regulated riparian buffer rules [15A NCAC
02B .0734]. Information shall be provided orally within 24 hours (or the next business day if a weekend
or holiday) from the time the applicant became aware of the circumstances.
Additional Conditions:
1. After project is completed, the temporary ramp shall be removed and the existing use restored
to the original condition.
2. The Permittee shall replant the vegetation within temporarily disturbed areas located within 30
feet of the shoreline or most landward limit of normal high-water level associated with this
project in an "in kind" manner immediately following construction. (Example: Disturbed areas
with pre-existing grassed lawns must be replanted with grass. Disturbed areas with pre-existing
trees or woody vegetation must be replanted with trees and woody vegetation. Disturbed areas
with pre-existing forest vegetation must be replanted with forest vegetation including at least
two different native hardwood tree species at a density sufficient to provide 260 trees per acre
at maturity. This density can usually be achieved by planting approximately 436 (10 x 10
spacing) to 681 (8 x 8 spacing) trees per acre.) Replanting of trees/shrubs/forest must be
completed by the first subsequent planting season (November 1 through March 30). Note, if
the tree plantings do not survive, they will need to be replaced such that the density is sufficient
to provide 260 trees per acre at maturity. [15A NCAC 02H .0507(c), 15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(3),
