PROJECT ADDRESS — 54 Pelican Drive, Wrightsville Beach, NC 28480
AREA OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN — Estuarine Shoreline
Dear Jim Smith:
I have reviewed the information submitted to this office in your inquiry concerning the
necessary filing of an application for a minor development permit under the Coastal Area
Management Act. After making a site inspection on December 2, 2009, 1 have determined
that the activity you propose is exempt from needing a minor development permit as long
as it remains consistent with your site drawing and materials list submitted on December
4, 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.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR — [15A NCAC 7K .0209(c)] - Any structure, or part thereof,
consistent with current CRC rules may be maintained, repaired or replaced in a similar
manner, size and location as the existing structure without requiring a permit, unless the
repair or replacement would be in violation of the criteria set out below. This exemption
applies to those projects that are not within the exclusion for maintenance and repairs as
set out in G.S. 11 3A-1 03(5)b.5., Rule .0103 of this Subchapter and Rule 07J .0210.
1. the development must not disturb a land area of greater than 200 square feet
on a slope of greater than 10 percent;
2. the development must not involve removal, damage, or destruction of
threatened or endangered animal or plant species;
3. the development must not alter naturally or artificially created surface drainage
channels; and;
4. development must be consistent with all applicable use standards and local
land use plans in effect at the time the exemption is granted.
Structures may be repaired in a similar manner, size and location as the original structure.
No expansions or additions are permissible and the following specific conditions apply:
RECEIVED
DEC 0 8 20M
`� DCM WILMINGTON, NC

1. The project consists of the addition of approximately 14" of height to existing
bulkhead and fill, as shown on the attached drawing and materials list.
2. The proposed repairs shall be consistent with all other applicable local ordinances
and North Carolina Building Code standards.
3. The bulkhead shall be constructed prior to any backfilling activities and shall be
structurally tight so as to prevent seepage of backfill materials through the
structure.
4. Runoff from construction shall not visibly increase the amount of suspended
sediments in adjacent waters. Appropriate sedimentation and erosion control
devices," measures or structures shall be implemented to ensure that eroded
materials do not enter adjacent wetlands, watercourse and property.
5. The proposed project shall be constructed in such a way to not increase run-off to
the adjacent riparian properties.
This exemption to CAMA permit requirements does not alleviate the necessity of your
obtaining any other State, Federal or Local authorization and N:C. Building Permits. This
exemption expires 90 days from the date of the letter.
Sincerely,
Town of Wrightsville Beach
