BRAXTON DAVIS
Director
Mr. J. Taylor Ryan with St. James Plantation POA is requesting a minor modification to State Permit #61-14,
which was issued on July 16, 2014, authorizing the construction of two (2) oyster bag sills and wetland vegetation
planting adjacent to the St. James Plantation Waterway Park and the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) in
Southport, Brunswick County. State Permit #61-14 is due to expire on December 31, 2017.
Mr. Ryan is requesting a modification to State Permit #61-14 to allow for the construction of four (4)
additional oyster bag sills adjacent to the St. James Plantation Waterway Park and the AIWW. Mr. Ryan states
oyster bag sills would be constructed in accordance with the previously permitted sills. As proposed, the oyster bag
sills would measure approximately 28 feet in length, 5 feet in width and 1.5 feet in height. The proposed sills would
be located on the east and west sides of the existing pier and on the east and west side of the existing oyster bags
sills. The proposed oyster bags sills would be located at or just below the Mean High Water (MHW) line (See
drawing 1 of 3). No wetland vegetation planting is proposed as part of this modification request.
The applicant has submitted a check (check No. 0004019) in the amount of $100 for the modification
request along with the letters and proof of notification to the adjacent riparian property owners. As proposed, this
office has no objection to the proposed project modification as long as there are no objections from the other
agencies to this proposal. It appears that the project continues to be CONSISTENT with the use standards set forth
in 15A NCAC 07H .0208 and 15A NCAC 07H.2700.
By copy of this memo, DCM is requesting that the DWR, DMF-Shellfish Section, DCM-Fisheries
Representative, WRC, and US ACOE provide any comment that your agency may have on the proposed
project to Heather Coats of DCM's Wilmington office within 14 days of receipt of this memo.

Holley,
Please accept our request to update (Modification) our Major Permit #61-14 to add 4-more
oyster reefs of bagged shells to our St James Living Shoreline at Waterway Park. The
locations of the 4-additional reefs are shown in reference to the pier as:
• 2-reefs closest to pier and on either side — 28' x 5' x 18", built smaller initially.
• 2-reefs outside west existing reef & outside "previously proposed #2" east reef — 28'
x5'x18"
We will add these 4-reefs prior to the expiration of this permit on December 31, 2017. See
attachments:
• "Small Proposed Reefs" #1 and 2 with individual detail in "Small South" and "Small
North" Proposed Reefs.
• Drawing 1 of 3 updated from original dated 06/02/2014 — "Oyster Major Permit-
L426'1'6" S/tgiU 0qf
• Drawing 2 of 3 updat d from original dated 06/02/2014 — "Oyster Major Permit-
042$16"
The "Proposed Reefs #1 and 2 (28' x 5' x 18") were approved in our initial request for the
Major Permit and are now completed and functional.
I understand you have received our check for $100 from our town.
The drawings are from our partnership with Professor Troy D. Alphin, UNCW Benthic
Ecology Lab at the Center for Marine Science. For our planning purposes with UNCW
students and their faculty as well as Ocean 17 campers, your approval would be
appreciated at your earliest convenience, as we are scheduling students and buying shells.
RECEIVED
MAY 2 3 2016
nr%" ,,. (

We will also schedule our St James multi -generational citizen scientists and others as well
to build the reefs and would invite you to join us.
Our town and our developer have funded this effort for about $150,000 over our 10-year
time period. It has been built by our St James' Multi -generational Citizen Scientist
volunteers, UNCW students, and High School students from across the USA attending a
UNCW camp. It is also used as an education opportunity for Brunswick County youth,
including Waccamaw Boys and Girls Home, Boy Scouts, local church youth, and Southport
Boys and Girls Club. It has been extremely well publicized in the Star News, State Port
Pilot, WELT, and numerous other publications. This effort is successful thanks to our very
strong partnership with UNCW's Center for Marine Science and the NC Coastal Federation.
These reefs are designated a UNCW Research Sanctuary. This project has taken
thousands of man hours to create. This effort and others like it, up and down our waterways,
would benefit from a public awareness and oyster shell recycling campaign to improve
water quality.
May I meet with you to review our accomplishments and plans for this project? Depending
on Troy's teaching responsibilities he will join us as well.
As the Founder and Project Manager for the St James Living Shoreline project, that we
have built on for 10-years and will continue to, we appreciate your timely approval to move
forward.
Does this package give you all the information you need to proceed to grant approval?
Thank you,

Heather,
On May 27, 2016 1 received a request from St. James Plantation to add four additional oyster bag sills adjacent to the
Waterway Park and AIWW. These bags will be installed as the two previously constructed sills and will measure
approximately 28' by 5' by 1.5'. The NCWRC does not believe these bags will have significant impacts to aquatic
resources and has no further comment on the project proposal.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this modification. If I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate
to call.
Have a good weekend,

Dear Mr. Ryan:
Through coordination with the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management, we have
learned of your request to modify your Department of the Army permit issued July 17, 2014,
authorizing the construction of two (2) oyster bag sills and wetland vegetation planting adjacent
to the St. James Plantation Waterway Park and the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW).
Your recent modification request is to allow for the construction of four (4) additional oyster bag
sills, adjacent to the St. James Plantation Park and the AIWW, in Southport, Brunswick County,
North Carolina. Coordinates are: 33.9238-N,-78.1188-W.
Your proposal continues to be consistent with the provisions and objectives of general
permit No. 198000291 (copy enclosed). The permit is hereby modified. It is understood that all
other conditions of your permit remain applicable.
If any change in your work is required because of unforeseen or altered conditions or for
any other reason, plans revised to show the change must be sent promptly to this office and the
North Carolina Division of Coastal Management prior to performing any such change or
alteration. Such action is necessary as revised plans must be reviewed and the authorization
