This is a request for the first renewal of CAMA Major #22-19 (the "Permit"), issued to The Nature
Conservancy (TNC) for the deployment of loose oyster shell (cultch) in thirteen (13) locations for the
purpose of oyster habitat enhancement, and for a living shoreline wavebreak system in one (1) location.
The Permit was issued on April 15, 2019 and is set to expire on December 31, 2022.
TNC is planning on implementation of this habitat enhancement and restoration work in 2023, and it will
be important to maintain this permit in the future if work does not commence on all 13 sites due to budget
constraints. Maintaining the permit would also allow TNC to modify the permit to include new or
alternative sites in the event more ideal locations are identified.
I have enclosed the $100 renewal processing fee along with a copy of the permit and the plan. We
appreciate your assistance with this renewal request. If you have questions regarding this request for the
renewal of CAMA Major 22-19, please contact me at [phone] or brubinoQquible.com.
Sincerely,
Quible & Associates, P.C.
