Attn: Mr. Ron Renaldi

Dear Mr. Renaldi,
This letter is with reference to CAMA Major Development Permit #107-15, National Audubon Society, which
expires on December 31, 2018. In accordance with 15A NCAC 07J.404, Development Period Extension, the
applicant is requesting a two-year extension as stipulated under the Condition of Substantial Development.
Please find enclosed a list of development activities which were authorized by the CAMA Major Development
Permit. Based on my discussion with Mr. Robbie Fearn, Site Manager, and my site visit of November 19, 2018, the
list will indicate those permitted activities which have been accomplished and those which remain to be
accomplished.
It is the intention of the National Audubon Society to complete the work as soon as funding is available. Because
substantial development has occurred at the site and is continuing, the applicant intends to complete the authorized
work within a reasonable time. This large development project is not only tied to logistical requirements, it is also
directly affected by funding. Work along the waterfront was of high priority for two reasons. One was to assure the
integrity of the shoreline improvements, and the other was to provide a safe environment for ongoing environmental
educational programs. Sequencing of the authorized work is also predicated by local requirements such as
wastewater renovation before additional renovation of buildings. The Comprehensive Site Development plan,
however, has not changed since the issuance of the original permit. The project remains in the ownership of the
permittee, and the proposed development activities remain in compliance with all Conditions of the permit.
Please find enclosed a check payable to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality for $100.00 for
consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
Environmental Professions ,Inc.
