Longest, Jr. Special Deputy Attorney General cc: Dave Heeter Charles Jones Donna Moffitt Dwayne Alligood M STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA COUNTY OF CARTERET IN THE MATTER OF THE THIRD PARTY HEARING REQUEST BY JERRY E. LAWRENCE, JR. BEFORE THE CHAIRMAN COASTAL RESOURCES COMMISSION CMT 2000-08 FINAL ORDER I. INTRODUCTION Petitioner, Jerry E. Lawrence, Jr., has filed a third party hearing request seeking a hearing on Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Major Development Permit No.114-02 issued to the N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT). Permit No. 114-02 authorizes the NCDOT to install guard rails on a bridge approach and demolish an adjacent community boat ramp on Crow Hill Road, Otway, Carteret County. II. STANDARD OF REVIEW Under the CAMA, a third party may file a contested case hearing petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) to challenge the issuance of a permit to someone else only if the Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) first determines that a contested case hearing is appropriate. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 113A-121.1(b) provides that the determination of whether a hearing is appropriate should be based upon a consideration of whether the petitioner: 1. Has alleged that the decision is contrary to a statute or rule; 2. Is directly affected by the decision; and Has alleged facts or made legal arguments that demonstrate that the hearing request is not frivolous. The CRC has delegated the authority to its Chairman to determine whether a third party hearing request should be granted or denied. Rule 15A N.C. Administrative Code (NCAC) 7H .0301(b). A third party whose hearing request is granted may file a petition with the OAH. A third party whose hearing request is denied may seek judicial review. III. FINDINGS OF FACT A. In February, 2002, the NCDOT replaced the Crow Hill Road (State Road 1333) bridge over North Leopard Creek in the community of Otway in Carteret County. B. The NCDOT undertook the bridge replacement under CAMA General Permit No. 28197 issued by the Division of Coastal Management (DCM). C. General Permit No. 28197 was issued upon the condition that the bridge replacement would not affect the Leopard Creek community boat ramp within the right-of-way of State Road 1333. D. Some 25 years ago, the residents of the area built the Leopard Creek community boat ramp with the permission of the NCDOT and have used it ever since. E. However, after the bridge was replaced in 2002, it encroached approximately five feet closer to the boat ramp. F. The NCDOT determined that this created a safety hazard and that the bridge would therefore require guardrails. G. To install guardrails, the NCDOT began removing the community boat ramp. (Attachment 1 is a copy of a photograph after part of the ramp was removed.) H. The DCM stopped the work and required the NCDOT to apply for a CAMA major development permit to complete the work necessary to install guardrails, including the removal of the remainder of the boat ramp and the installation of rip rap along the shoreline. (Attachment 2 is a copy of a detail map showing the additional work proposed by NCDOT.) Many of the residents of the Otway community signed a Petition opposing the removal of the boat ramp, and the Division of Marine Fisheries objected to the project because of the loss of the boat ramp. On August 29, 2002, the DCM issued CAMA Major Development Permit No. 114-02 to the NCDOT for the proposed work. (Attachment 3 is a copy of CAMA Major Development Permit No. 114-02.) K. The DCM concluded that the NCDOT could withdraw its permission to locate the boat ramp within the highway right-of-way but included a Note within Permit No. 114-02 encouraging NCDOT to work with the community to develop a suitable replacement ramp. L. CAMA Major Development Permit No. 114-02 was issued on August29, 2002, and Mr. Lawrence's hearing request was timely filed on August 30, 2002. M. Mr. Lawrence identified himself as "President" of" Save the Ramp Committee." IV. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW The Petitioner has alleged that the decision to issue Permit No. 114-02 is contrary to "Gen. Statute 775A.07H.0208". Rule 15A NCAC 7H .0208 which sets forth the various use standards for development within the estuarine system areas of environmental concern. Petitioner does not allege the violation of any specific standard. Thus it cannot be determined which rule or rules he believes were violated by the issuance of Permit No. 114-02. 2. The Petitioner stated that he owns real property in the vicinity of the property to be developed and that he can demonstrate a history of substantial use of public resources in the area affected by the development. For purposes of this Hearing Request, the Chairman finds that the Petitioner has demonstrated that he is directly affected by construction authorized to be In undertaken by the Department of Transportation under Permit No. 114-02. 3. The question of whether the proposed development interferes with rights of the Petitioner or his group is not the basis for permit denial of Permit No. 114-02. It is beyond the jurisdiction of the Coastal Resources Commission, the Division of Coastal Management, or the Office of Administrative Hearings to resolve property ownership disputes between competing claimants. The Petitioner does not address this issue in his Petition. Whether the Petitioner has a property interest or not, the purported interest is not a basis under statute or rule to deny Permit No. 114-02. A contested case hearing is appropriate when an agency has allegedly exceeded its authority, acted erroneously, failed to use proper procedure, acted arbitrarily or capriciously, or failed to act as requires by law or rule. N.C. Gen. Stat. §113A-121.1(b)3. If a project meets the applicable rules and guidelines, CAMA requires that the permit shall be granted. N.C. G en. Stat. § 113A-120(b). Since Petitioner has failed to show that the permit could have been denied for any reason put forward by Petitioner, the request does not meet the standard for third party hearing requests. V. ORDER For the above reasons, -the Division of Coastal Management recommends that the third party hearing request by Jerry Lawrence, Jr., be DENIED.

Beveridge, Jr. Ol; 320 Channel Rock Road �' \ Beaufort, NC 28516 Dear Mr. Beveridge: Thank you for your July 16, 2002 letter and the enclosed petition concerning the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Major Development Permit application submitted by the N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT). This application requests authorization to facilitate the installation of guardrail by expanding the approach and trailing road shoulders of the southbound lane of Bridge #18 on SR 1333 (Crow Hill Road) in Otway, Carteret County, North Carolina. The proposal would close the Leopard Creek Community Boat Ramp by removing a portion of the existing ramp and filling the remainder of the ramp with riprap. The N.C. Division of Coastal Management (DCM) appreciates your concerns about the proposed project. We have looked very closely at the issues raised in your letter and the enclosed petition signed by approximately 175 people disagreeing with the destruction and removal by NCDOT of the community boat ramp. The CAMA permit review process involves a coordinated state and federal review of each permit application. All comments received from review agencies, the public and adjacent riparian property owners are considered by DCM before final action is taken on a permit application. In this case, DCM has determined in coordination with the State of North Carolina Attorney General's office that the proposed project is not inconsistent with the Rules of the Coastal Resources Commission, as well as those of other State regulatory agencies. Consequently, DCM issued a permit for the proposed activity on 8/29/02. A copy of the permit is being provided to you for your information. The decision to issue a CAMA permit for this project is based on the fact that the community boat ramp is an existing percussive use within the NCDOT Right -of -Way. Because NCDOT allowed the local community permission to build the boat ramp, within its Right -of -Way, NCDOT has the authority to withdraw its permission to use the boat ramp within its Right -of - Way. DCM deeply regrets the loss of the community boat ramp that will result from this project.

Ross Jr., Secretary TO: DOUG HUGGETT FROM: BILL ARRINGTON SUBJECT: COMMENTS & RECOMMENDATIONS - CAMA MAJOR PERMIT - Bridge #18 on SR 1333 (Crow Hill Road) Shoulder expansion at the crossing of North Leopard Creek, south of Otway, in Carteret County DATE: August 22, 2002 The following are my comments and recommendations regarding the above -mentioned proposal. The project consists of expanding the approach and trailing road shoulders of Carteret Bridge #18 on SR 1333 to facilitate the installation of guardrail. This project would include installation of a 40- foot bulkhead shoulder section parallel to and extending approximately 5 feet into the Leopard Creek Community Boat Ramp (LCCBR) with riprap reinforcement extending the remaining distance across the public access ramp. The applicant also proposes to reinforce a 50-foot by 5-foot section of the approach shoulder for the southbound lane to facilitate the installation of guardrail. General Permit #28197 was issued July 27, 2001, for the replacement of Carteret Bridge #18 after receiving assurances from NCDOT Division II Bridge Engineer there would be no impacts to the Leopard Creek Community Boat Ramp. In 1978 a Renewal/Modification to the CAMA Major Permit #185- 74 for widening the adjacent canal was issued for improvements to the existing Leopard Creek Community Boat Ramp after receiving a "NO OBJECTION" from C.R. Edgerton, P.E., with NCDOT. The bridge was replaced in February 2002, and encroached approximately 5 feet closer to the public boat ramp. Due to the replacement of the bridge encroaching closer to the existing Leopard Community Boat Ramp, NCDOT considers the situation a "safety hazard" and requests a permit to build the road shoulder over the public ramp, permanently closing this public access. NCDOT has reduced the estuarine system fill impacts associated with this proposal by installing the bulkhead above NHW, and installing the rip rap reinforcement for the bulkhead at a 1.5:1 slope. North Leopard Creek is estuarine water. 151-B Hwy. 24, Hestron Plaza II, Morehead City, North Carolina 28557 Phone: 252-808-2808 \ FAX: 252-247-3330 \ Internet: www.nccoastaimanagement.net An Equal Opportunity \ Affirmative Action Employer — 50% Recycled \ 10% Post Consurrsr Paper It is my understanding that DOT originally gave permission to representatives of the community to construct the ramp in the 1970's and has allowed the community to use its right-of-way for the launching and retrieving of boats since that time. DOT now wishes to withdraw its permission and remove the ramp to facilitate the installation of a guardrail. The ramp is clearly within DOT right- of-way. Since it appears that DOT has the right to rescind its permission to use this area, I can not object to the issuance of a permit. I do however feel we should strongly suggest to DOT that they assist the community in identifying and developing another boat ramp site on Leopard Creek or the canal adjacent to SR 1333. While DOT may have the legal authority to prohibit the public from using this area because of bridge safety concerns, they have taken away an important community asset that has been in existence for nearly 30 years. Standard erosion control BMP's should be incorporated into the project. Cc: Charles Jones Ted Tyndall -',�> f& ATFRQG Mic F.

Carteret County Dear Mr. Johnson: The Wilmington Regional Office received a copy of a CAMA Major Permit Application to install sheet piles at the boat ramp for guard rail installation, Carteret Co. on July 5, 2002. Staff review of the plans and specifications has determined that the development activities proposed at this time will not pose a threat to surface water quality from stormwater runoff. The Director has determined that projects that are reviewed and approved by the Division as not posing a water quality threat from stormwater runoff should not be subject to the stormwater management permitting requirements of 15A NCAC 211.1000. By copy of this letter, we are informing you that your project will not require a stormwater management permit. If the subject project disturbs five acres or more and has a point source discharge of stormwater runoff, then it is also subject to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater discharge requirements. You are required to have an NPDES permit for stormwater discharge from projects meeting these criteria. The stormwater rules require the Division to permit the common plan of development, therefore, any future development on the property, regardless of whether a CAMA Major permit is also required, will require a Stormwater Management Permit application and permit issuance from the Division of Water Quality prior to any construction. If you have any questions or need additional information concerning this matter please contact Ms. Linda Lewis at (910) 395-3900.

Department of Transportation, in which authorization was requested to facilitate the installation of guardrail by expanding the approach and trailing road shoulders of the southbound lane of Bridge #18 on SR 1333 (Crow Hill Road) in Otway, Carteret County, North Carolina. The proposal would close the Leopard Creek Community Boat Ramp by removing a portion, of the existing ramp and filling the remainder of the ramp with riprap. As you may be aware, the Division of Coastal Management is coordinating a multi -agency state and federal review of the proposal. I can assure you that your comments will be examined and taken into consideration prior to the Division taking final action on this permit application, and you will be informed of this final action.

PROJECT SUMMARY: The N.C. Department of Transportation is proposing to expand the approach and trailing road shoulders of the southbound lane of Carteret Bridge #18 on SR 1333 to facilitate the installation of guardrail. The proposal would close the Leopard Creek Community Boat Ramp by removing a portion of the existing ramp and filling the remainder of the ra mp with rip rap. FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT NC DOT — Bridge 18, Carteret County PAGE 2 9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The site of this proposal is Bridge #18 on SR 1333 (Crow Hill Rd.), at the crossing of North Leopard Creek (a tributary of Wards Creek), approximately 2 miles south of U.S. Highway 70 in the community of Otway, in Carteret County. The general purpose of the project is to expand and reinforce the approach and trailing road shoulders of the south bound lane of SR 1333 to provide adequate area for the installation of guardrails. The bridged crossing at North Leopard Creek is flanked with coastal wetlands, pine wetlands and residential lawns. This area is primarily residential. The bridge, replaced in February 2002 under CAMA General Permit #28197, crosses a 40-foot wide estuarine tidal creek and was issued contingent upon and with assurances by the NCDOT no impacts would occur to the Leopard Creek Community Boat Ramp. The new bridge encroached approximately 5 feet towards the existing ramp, which the application cover letter submitted by NCDOT states, is now a "safety hazard". NCDOT began removing the boat ramp to facilitate the installation of guardrail, but was stopped pending the ability to receive a CAMA permit to remove it. A 40-foot wide canal parallel to SR 1333 joins Leopard Creek 20 feet west of the bridge from the south shoreline. In the canal upstream of the ramp there are approximately 12 docks maintained by various individuals. A 12- foot wide concrete boat ramp with concrete wing walls extends into N. Leopard Creek between the bridge and the canal. An existing boat ramp was permitted for expansion under a 1978 renewal/modification of CAMA Major Permit #185-74 for the widening of the canal after DCM received a "NO OBJECTION" from C.R. Edgerton, PE, with the NCDOT. This ramp was consequently expanded, by the community and has been in continual use since. The coastal wetland area consists of Spartina alterniflora. Juncus roemerianus. Spartina patens. Distichlis s icn ata. and Salicomia spp.. The pine wetland area including a spoil pile west of the canal consists primarily of Pond Pine, Red Cedar and Myrtle. The adjacent uplands are vegetated primarily with various pines, oaks and grasses. Soils on this property are classified as Hobucken Muck by the NC Soil Conservation Service. Approximate elevations on the.parcel range between minus 2 feet and 4.5 feet above NWL. No evidence of shellfish or SAV beds in the project area was noted. The waters of North Leopard Creek are classified as SA, HQW at the project site by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality. North Leopard Creek is designated as Primary Nursery Area by the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries. The Carteret County Land Use Plan designates the project area as Rural, with all CAMA Areas of Environmental Concern designated as Conservation. The proposal is to remove a 5-foot wide section of concrete from the existing Leopard Creek Community Boat Ramp parallel to SR 1333 and install a 40-foot long sheet pile bulkhead approximately 10 feet from the edge of the existing pavement. Rip rap reinforcement would be installed waterward of the bulkhead at an approximate 1.5:1 slope to fill the remainder of the boat ramp. Backfill behind the sheet pile would provide adequate shoulder for 75 feet of guardrail on the trailing side of the newly installed bridge southbound lane. The applicant also proposes to reinforce a 50-foot long by 5-foot wide section of road shoulder on the approach side of the bridge south bound lane with rip rap and backfill to provide adequate shoulder for guard rai 1 installation. FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT NC DOT — Bridge 18, Carteret County PAGE 3 10. ' ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: As proposed, the construction of the bulkhead shoulder, reinforced with rip rap, would result in the permanent closing of the North Leopard Creek Community Boat Ramp, eliminating the public use and access as well as potentially adversely affecting those individuals docking along the canal. The proposal would result in the filling approximately 200 square feet of shallow estuarine bottom and disturbing of approximately 600 square feet of Coastal Shoreline AEC (both areas were previously filled by the existing boat ramp). Reinforcement of 50 feet of the approach road shoulder on the southbound lane would result in the filling of approximately 250 square feet of Coastal wetlands. NC DOT has reduced the Estuarine Water AEC and Coastal Shoreline AEC fill impacts associated with this proposed road shoulder expansion by installing the bulkhead above NHW and installing the rip rap at a 1.5:1 slope. There is probability of turbidity expected during the construction of the bulkhead and shoulder expansion. Standard NC DOT BMP's are proposed to minimize these impacts. The primary use of SR 1333 is for ingress and egress of local residents. The proposed shoulder expansion, reinforcement and installation of guardrails are intended to improve safety of traffic movement and comply with state safety standards for secondary roads. The collective disturbance area for the project is 0.02 acres. Bill Arrington July 1, 2002 Morehead City Form DCM-MP-I APPLICATION (To be completed by all applicants) 1. APPLICANT a.

The sketch attached accurately depicts the proposed construction. The proposed action will eliminate the access/use of an existing concrete boat ramp located within NCDOT R/W on the northwest side of the bridge.

Guardrails were not proposed with the original bridge project 2. Removing the boat ramp was not part of the original bridge project 3. I agreed to the original bridge project as proposed 4. 1 would not have agreed if the boat ramp was removed, or guardrails installed. 5. I purchased my property (177 Crow Hill Rd) because the boat ramp was there. 6. The guardrails are unsightly 7. 1 know of no vehicle accidents and no information was provided concerning vehicle accidents that have occurred within 200 feet of the bridge 8. 1 suspect the new bridge was larger (wider) than originally planned which has caused a problem with the boat ramp and guardrails. 9. Lowering the posted speed limit to 35 mph would eliminate the need for guardrails and would be less costly. When will we know when and what decisions will be made?

Ross Jr., Secretary July 1, 2002 Dwayne H. Alligood, P.E. Division Maintenance Engineer NC Department of Transportation P.O. box 1587 Greenville, N.C. 27835 Dear Mr. Alligood, The NC Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your application for State approval for the proposed road shoulder expansion and guardrail installation on SR 1333 at the crossing of North Leopard Creek in Carteret County. It was received as complete on June 10, 2002, and appears to be adequate for processing at this time. The projected deadline for making a decision is August 22, 2002. An additional 75-day review period is provided by law when such time is necessary to complete the review. If you have not been notified of a final action by the initial deadline stated above, you should consider the review period extended. Under those circumstances, this letter will serve as your notice of an extended review. However, an additional letter will be provided on or about the 75th day. NCGS 113A-119(b) requires that Notice of an application be posted at the location of the proposed development. Enclosed you will find a "Notice of Permit Filing" postcard which must be posted at the proposed development.

EASLEY DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS LYNDO TIPPETT GOVERNOR }� SECRETARY May 10, 2002 Mr. Bill Arrington Division of Coastal Management 2002 151-B Hwy 24 Hestron Plaza 11 Morehead City, North Carolina 28557 Dear Mr. Arrington: I am transmitting a copy of completed form DCM-MP-Ifor the replacement of bridge number 18 located on SR 1333 in Carteret County as required by the Division of Coastal Management. This bridge replacement was originally permitted by general permit number 28197 with the condition that "sheet pile will be used in the southwest quadrant to prevent impacts to the concrete pad." After replacement of the bridge it became apparent that the drop-off created by the concrete pad was a safety hazard and prevented proper installation of guardrail to protect the bridge railing. Due to the impacts to the concrete pad, the Division of Coastal Management required the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) to go through the major permit process due to the impacts to the concrete pad which is used as a boat ramp. Bridge number 18 was originally built in 1952 by the Bridge Maintenance Unit of the NCDOT. The Division of Coastal Management issued a CAMA permit for construction of a boat ramp in this vicinity in 197NCDOT records indicate that a second application for relocation of the boat ramp was submitted in 1977 and the Department objected to the location of the boat ramp at the base of the_bridge. NCDOT proposed that the boat ramp be located at the end of the canal and entirely outside of highway right of way. The Department does not have any record in our files of how this issue was resolved at that time but the boat ramp was relocated to the base of the bridge. North Carolina General Statute 1-45 states that "No person or corporation shall ever acquire any exclusive right to any part of a public road, street, lane, alley, square or public way of any kind by reason of any occupancy thereof or by encroaching upon or obstructing the same in any way, and in all actions, whether civil or criminal, against any person or corporation on account of an encroachment upon or obstruction or occupancy of any public way it shall not be competent for a court fo hold that such action is barred by any statute of limitations." The right of way at this location is not "signed right of way" but has been maintained,by-the.hCDOT since atleast 1952 when the previous bridge was constructed. Div[stoNTwo* P.O. Box 1587 • GREENVILLE, N.C. 27835 PHONE (252) 830-3490 • FAx (252) 830-3352 As a result this right of way, has been acquired by the NCDOT by prescription and in accordance with GS 1-45 it may not then be acquired by any person or corporation through adverse possession. Thank you for your assistance in this matter and please contact me if you have any questions. Sincerely, Dwayif(e H. Alligood, P Division Maintenance Engineer attachments ("i 5 ?U1J2 cc: Mr. C. E.

The original bridge was constructed in 1952 and the first boat ramp was permitted in 1974. Therefore, right of way by prescription exists and existed in 1972 at the latest based on when the original bridge was constructed. According to documentation received from the Division of Coastal Management, the permit for the original boat ramp (185-74) was issued on November 18, 1974 and the permit was renewed, modified, and reissued on January 16, 1978. NCDOT does not have records indicating when, after issuance of the permits, the ramp was first built or used. I have a copy of the sketch referenced in C.R. Edgerton's letter dated 1 I-10-77. 1 will place a copy in your box and I will also include a letter from Lex Kelly to Edgerton describing the sketch.

I was working on Bridge 18 in Carteret and would appreciate a bit more information on the following: Your letter states that DOT does not have a signed ROW but rather has ROW by prescription. Could you explain this and give the date DOT actually received legal ROW? Does DOT have documentation as to when the ramp was first built or used, or when it was paved? We have a letter from C.R. Edgerton, dated l 1/10/77, objecting to the modification of the existing boat ramp. It refers to a sketch prepared by DOH showing an alternate proposed location for the boat ramp. Do you have a copy of that sketch? I'll be on vacation next week. Let me know if you have any questions. Bill JAMES B. R. GOVERNOR ROLINA )RTATI ON New Bern, N. C.
