The original permit authorized,the development of a barge mooring and maintenance facility that included the dredging of 8.69 acres of water bottom, 300' of steel sheet pile bulkhead, a 40' x 300' concrete loading dock landward of normal water level, a gravel drive accessing the loading dock, a 60' x 205' barge ramp, 30' x 60' of riprap at the south end of the ramp, and nine steel monopile tie pilings adjacent to an existing 800' pier to tie off barges. 2. Stevens Towing would like to make the following modifications to CAMA Major Permit #11-16: a. Ramp modification to include the removal of all work waterward of the approved bulkhead alignment, widening the ramp from 66OL49 80' to 116', and extending the bulkhead an additional 40' to accommodate the modified ramp. The bulkhead along the W 116' section of ramp would be constructed 12' below normal water level to allow access by barges onto the ramp where they will be pulled in the maintenance bay. This will include moving the maintenance bay landward. b. Reconfigure barge maintenance area and vehicular access to the loading dock resulting an increase of 3,719square feet of impervious cover, or 27.6% impervious lot cover within the 75' AEC. c. As noted in a. above the widening of the ramp width on the landward side will result in the extension of bulkhead 40' south and a 30' retumlwing wall.

ENGINEERING • ENARONMENM SCIENCES • PLANNING • SURVEYING Re ic r%1r P SINCE 1959 Lynn Mathis NC Division of Coastal Management 1367 US 17 South Elizabeth City, NC 27909 April 25, 2017 RE: Minor Modification to CAMA Major 11-16 Steven Towing, Co. Ms. Mathis, P.O. Drower 870 My Hawk NC 27949 Phone: 252-491-8147 F= 252-491-8146 web: qulble.com The purpose of this correspondence is to request a CAMA Minor Modification to the existing CAMA Major Permit 11-16 to include the following: Item 1- Ramp Modification Based on consultation with other barge ramp facility managers, owners and operators, Stevens Towing has learned that the ramp does not have to extend 200 + ft out into the River and it is actually a better scenario to start the ramp at or near NWL. The CAMA plan attached shows this in plan view and updated cross-section. In this currently proposed scenario, the ramp would shorten, widen and the slope would increase. The ramp would widen from 80 ft to 116 ft and would shorten from 555 ft (total slope per permitted plan) to 304 ft. This would alleviate having a coffer dam and dewatering scenario in the River. Instead, a coffer dam across the NWL shoreline can be left in place during ramp construction. This simplifies construction and would likely decrease potential adverse environmental impacts. The entire area in the already permitted ramp location in the River was permitted to be dredged to -12 ft due to undercutting needed for the permitted ramp alignment. With this current proposal, this will still be excavated to -12 ft, but no engineered ramp fill will be placed in the River. Some of the dredging took place in the 2016-2017 dredge season, but was not completed. As previously permitted and shown on the current plan, there would be two guide piles in the River to assist with barge maneuvering. Currently, the barge maintenance area is proposed to be on a flat surface instead of on the slope of the ramp as previously permitted with the longer ramp. This plan continues to include an infiltration basin to collect wash down water, but it is now proposed further landward. We believe this is an environmentally preferred situation and it is certainly better logistically to be working from a flat surface. In addition, there is a need to provide a better access to the waterfront working platform which is shown on the plan. Since this plan proposes additional coverage, there is more demolition/removal of existing coverage around the site. The idea is to remain well under a net site impervious coverage increase of 10,000 sq.ft. This plan requests a net increase of 3,719 sq.ft. The total % site impervious cover would be 22.8%.. T�ot�all iimmmpe�rvfiogS cover within the 30 ft buffer would be 39.2% and total impervious cover withi D would be 27.6%9. These figures are provided in the notes section of the current plan. MAY 12 2017 DCM- MHD CITY Item 3- Shoreline Stabilization A. Bulkhead: Proposed new bulkhead south of the ramp along NWL 40 ft with the 30 ft wing wall. The permitted plan included rip rap in this location, but the bulkhead will assist with barge ramp activities. B. South Side Rip Rap: Rip Rap Protection along NWL to the south of the bulkhead described in A above, extending 90 ft along the shoreline. C. North Side Rip Rap: Rip Rap protection from the north side of the working platform to the existing pump house (80 ft). The permitted plan failed to request and permit shoreline stabilization in this area. Item 4- Ganaways for Baroe Access In order for personnel to access barges 2 and 3 from the existing pier, we are proposing two 4 ft wide gangways as shown on the plan. Enclosed are the following: 8 copies of the revised plan, revision date 4/25/2017 $100 processing fee check I appreciate your assistance with this request.

D6ecrur On June 7, 2017, the Washington Regional Office of the Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources received a stormwater redevelopment exclusion modification request for a proposed project, located.at 125 Dye Plant Road, on the Chowan River in Chowan County. Staff review of the plans and supporting documents has determined that the project proposes activities that are excluded from State Stormwater permitting requirements as set forth in Section 2.(d)(3) of Session Law 2008-211, effective October 1, 2008, and the stormwater rules under Title 15A NCAC 2H .1000, as amended. Therefore, the Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources is hereby providing confirmation that the subject project is excluded from State Stormwater permitting requirements under the following conditions: 1) The project must be constructed as shown on the plans submitted to this Office; 2) The project, proposes no net increase in impervious coverage, and 3) The proposed stormwater control, provides equal or better protection of surface waters then the existing stormwater control. Under Section .1003(b) of the stormwater rules, the entire common plan of development must be permitted. Therefore, any future development or changes to the proposed development, including but not limited to, the locations of the built -upon area and construction of additional built -upon area, may require approval or a Stormwater Management permit application and permit issuance from the Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources prior to any construction. Any construction on the site prior to receipt of the required approval or permit will constitute a violation of Title 15A NCAC 2H.1000 and Session Law2008-211, and may result in the initiation of appropriate enforcement action. Please keep in mind that this determination does not affect your legal obligation to obtain other permits and approvals, which may be required by Federal, State, or local government agencies, rule or law.
