permit as long as it remains consistent with your site drawing and materials list submitted
on September 15, 2009, and meets the conditions specified below. If your plans should
change and your project will no longer meet these conditions, please contact me before
proceeding.

RE: Failure to Apply for a CAMA Exemption
Dear Mr. Hinrichs:
This letter is pursuant to our conversation on September 10, 2009 regarding your
failure to obtain a CAMA Exemption letter for maintenance and repair performed on
the Oceanside deck located at 10 Conch Lane. According to 15A NCAC 07K .0103
Maintenance and Repair
(a)Maintenance and repairs are specifically excluded from the
definition of development under the conditions and in the
circumstances set out in G.S. 113A-103(5) (b) (5). Individuals required
to take such measures within an Area of Environmental Concern (AEC)
shall contact the local CAMA representative for consultation and advice
before beginning work.
The rule further implies:
(c) Individuals proposing other such activities must consult with the
local permit officer to determine whether the proposed activity
qualifies for the exclusion under G.S. 113A-103(5) (b) (5).
The property in question at 10 Conch Lane is located within the Ocean Hazard AEC
and is subject to CAMA Regulations. Please consider this letter as a notification of
failure to apply for a CAMA Exemption. If you have questions please feel free to
contact me at the numbers listed below.
