Due to a currently pending dispute with the City of Washington over noise and impermissible uses of other property in this area, I hereby request that no action be taken toward approval of the estuarine center or other uses of adjacent property until such time as the pending dispute with the City regarding enforcement of applicable zoning ordinances has been resolved.

Arlington Boulevard, Suite 1 Greenville, NC 27858 Dear Mr. Hopf: May 9, 1996 This will respond to your letter of December 18 and subsequent telephone inquiry on behalf of Mr. & Mrs. J. M. Swanner. As you will recall, the project review was on hold most of the winter because it was determined late in the process that, with public money involved, an Environmental Assessment (EA) was required. The EA went through the State Clearing House with a favorable review. More recently, the Stormwater Management Permit was issued. All of this clearing the way for final action on the CAMA permit. Staff and review agencies have found favorable on this public interest project and the permit has been issued. A copy is enclosed for your review. We trust the lengthy review and numerious permit conditions would remove some of the concerns of your client, keeping in mind that his primary concern described in his earlier letter is beyond the purview of this Division. Should there be any question on this matter, do not hesitate to contact this office or personnel of our Washington office. Very Sincerely, Jo R.

I have reviewed the application in regards to NCAC 7H, specifically .0208(b)(6) - Docks and Piers and .0208(b)(7) - Bulkheads and Shore Stabilization Measures and have found that the city's proposal is consistent with these regulations. Therefore, I recommend that the permit be issued with the following conditions: 2 (1) The bulkhead must be constructed prior to any backfilling activities. 3 (2) The bulkhead must be structurally tight so as to prevent seepage of backfill materials through the structure. (3) The bulkhead must be solid and constructed of treated wood, concrete slabs, metal sheet piles or other suitable materials approved by department personnel. No excavation is permitted except for that which may be required for the construction of the bulkhead wall, riprap, deadmen cables, etc. This permit does not authorize any excavation waterward of the approved alignment. 5 (4) The fill material will be clean and free of any pollutants except in trace quantities. -pTaducft organic materials; ormrsightly debris will not be used. (5) All back fill material will be obtained from a highground source and confined behiuti the permitted bulkhead. (6) All fill material to be placed below normal water level will be confined behind the permitted bulkhead. (7) Prior to any construction which is authorized by this permit, a pre -construction meeting must be held between the permittee, contractor, and a representative of the DCM. MEMORANDUM TO: / ' 1 David Gossett John Crew DATE: 11 13 September 1995 City of Washington CAMA Application for the North Carolina Estuarium, Washington, North Carolina This application is for a CAMA Development permit to construct bulkheading, floating dock, piers, boardwalk and a 15,000 square foot building at the Estuarium site on Steward Parkway and Water Street in downtown Washington and comes under the auspices of the March 1991 CRC certified Washington Land Use Plan update. Public Trust AECs are involved and the proposed site is apparently in the local historic district. The plan offers the following guidance on proposals of this type: City policy on AECs (page 29-30) notes the importance of these resources and "The policy shall be to support current federal, state and local restrictions with regard to development in areas of environmental concern. Only "water dependent" uses are permitted by the State in wetlands, estuarine waters or public trust areas." City policy on other hazardous or fragile areas (page 30) includes "Historic resources, as mentioned under Item b above, are regulated by the Historic District Commission and the policy shall be to support locally adopted restrictions in the historic district." City policy on tourism (page 41-42) notes the importance that tourism plays and can plan in the city's economy and states "The overall policy shall be to promote the city and to maintain orderly development and attractiveness through application of local ordinances." The site for this proposal is included in the Developed land classification on the city's land classification map. That class acknowledges urban development with the provision of services necessary to support those uses. My opinion is if this proposal can be accomplished within applicable AEC standards and local historic district standards it will not hP ;ornncictent with city policy nor land classification and therefore is not inconsistent with the city's land esu plan. cc: Preston Pate .

Price, Jr., Director Thank you for your letter of September 7, 1995, concerning the above project. We have also received the CAMA permit application for the North Carolina Estuarium. We have reviewed the revised drawings for the estuarium building, as well as the proposed landscape plan. Based upon the building plan and elevations dated August 15, 1995 and the landscape plan dated August 20, 1995, we believe the project will have no adverse effect upon the National Register -listed Washington Historic District if the following conditions are incorporated into any permits for the project and are carried out by the applicant: The trees along Water Street shall be similar to those throughout the remainder of the district. Please note that sycamore trees are quite messy when their fruit and leaves drop. 2. The northwest corner of the site shall be more formal to reflect the urban context of the site. The paving in this area shall be concrete. 3. The colors of the exterior materials of the estuarium building shall be compatible with the color palette of historic industrial buildings along the waterfront. Color samples shall be provided to us for review and approval as well as any changes to the exterior plans and specifications that may arise. We also have some concerns about using crushed oyster shells or marl for the pathways. What are the maintenance requirements for a pathway of these materials? As an alternative, we suggest using concrete with an aggregate surface of shells and other natural materials since it would be more durable. We look forward to reviewing the revised landscaping plan and color samples for the estuarium in the near future..

Crow, Director Thank you for your letter of February 2, 1996, transmitting the two proposed color schemes for the estuarium building. We have reviewed scheme "A" illustrating the terne roof painted metallic aluminum, the reverse board -and -batten siding stained light grey, the metal trusses and columns painted white, and a galvanized metal handrail. Scheme "R" shows the terne roof painted red, the reverse board -and -batten siding stained light grey, and the metal trusses, columns, and handrails painted dark green. Given the color palette of the historic industrial buildings along the waterfront, we believe that scheme "A" is compatible with the historic buildings and would not have an adverse effect on the district. The colors shown in scheme "R" are not appropriate to Washington's historic waterfront. Also, we recommend that the grey stain for the siding closely resemble the cool grey of metal siding commonly found on industrial buildings rather than a warm grey tone. The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800.

It was received on 6 September 1995 and appears to be adequate for processing at this time. The projected deadline for making a decision is 19 November 1995. 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 also serve as your notice of an extended review. However, an additional letter will be provided on or about the 75th day. Should there be any questions on this procedural change, do not hesitate to contact me. N.C.G.S. 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 property of your proposed development. You should post this notice at a conspicuous point along your property where it can be observed from a public road. some examples would be: nailing the notice card to a telephone pole or tree along the road right-of-way fronting your property, or at a point along the road right-of-way where a private road would lead one into your property. Failure to post this notice could result in an incomplete application. An onsite inspection will be made and if additional information is required, you will be contacted by the appropriate State or Federal agency. Please contact me if you have any questions and notify me in writing if you wish to receive a copy of my field report and/or comments from reviewing agencies. Since y - David L.

Box 1988 Washington, NC 27889 Dear Mr. Burchins: This letter is in reference to your application request for a permit under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) to develop the N. C. Estuarium. In a recent review of the file preparatory to a final action, it was determined that information had not been presented to to appropriate agencies for stormwater management and sedimentation and erosion control. In keeping with guidance of the Rules of the Coastal Resources Commission, this Division has developed a position that the CAMA permit should not be let until stornwater management controls have been approved by the Division of Environmental Management. We have agreed, however, to cover the need for a sedimentation and erosion control plan by the Division of Land Quality under a note on any permit issued. Under Rules of the CRC, it is necessary to place application processing in abeyance until the above matters are resolved. In addition, I would be remiss not to indicate that it is my understanding that the perparation of an environmental document may be necessary. Department staff are reviewing this matter at this time. A final position should be available in a matter of days and the City would be so notified. Should there be any question on the content of this letter, do not hesitate to contact me.

C. Estuarium at Washington, North Carolina. Dear Nts. Baggett: This is a follow-up to Your phone conversation with Mike Ortosky of the Partnership for the Sounds Design Team on July 31, 1995 and a project summary for the N. C. Estuarium. The Partnership for the Sounds is a non-profit organization which has undertaken the development of four environmental education centers and regional master plan within the Albemarle -Pamlico Peninsula. The first of these centers will be known as the North Carolina Estuarium and will be located on the waterfront in Washington, N. C.. State monevs have been appropriated as partial funding for this efPott and a CAMA major permit will be required for the project. The design process for the proposed project has been underway for some time and site plans, appropriate for the LAMA permit application submittal, have recently been developed, and the permit application has been made. In early discussions with CAMA representatives concerning the CAMA permit application and compliance with NCEPA, it was suggested that the multi -agency comment period for the CAMA review might serve to develop scoping comments relative to compliance with NCEPA. We understand that these are two separate processes but feel that this may be an efficient way to address specific concerns as voiced by various agencies during the review. We will cooperate with CA -MA and your office to appropriately address any concerns and ensure compliance with the N. C. Environmental Policv Act. Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to any comments you may have.

PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing to develop the North Carolina Estuarium which involves the construction of a bulkhead, boardwalk and dock. CITY OF WASHINGTON North Carolina Fstuarium Center Beaufort County Environmental setting The City of Washington is the owner of a 1.1 acre tract of land on which, in conjunction with the Partnership for the Sounds, the North Carolina Estuarium is being constructed. The site is located within the historic district of the City of Washington, on Water Street, adjacent to the Pamlico River in Beaufort County. The site until recent years was used as a boat repair facility. Located on the site is a frame building, a concrete boat ramp and two piers which were utilized by a travel lift. The ramp and piers appear to be located within a manmade basin. Also, various pilings are located near the piers and the shoreline is bulkheaded. The facility is served by the city's municipal sewage and water systems. The upland property is developed with gravel parking areas, and also areas of vegetated lawn grasses are present. No wetland vegetation is present. Project proposal The applicant is proposing the following: (1) The construction of a 15,000 sq. ft. building to serve as the Public Estuarium for visitors. (2) The construction of 200' of bulkhead which will average 2' waterward of the existing bulkhead, except in the vicinity of the 30' wide boat ramp, where the bulkhead will average 55' beyond the NWL. (3) Starting at the west property line, the construction of a 135' long by 10' wide boardwalk on highground approximately 15' landward of and parallel to the proposed bulkhead. The boardwalk will turn in a southern direction with a 65' long by 8' wide section which will terminate with a 25' long by 18' wide platform at the bulkhead. (See plat L-2 for details.) (4) The construction of a 15' long by 4' wide floating dock adjacent to the bulkhead. This platform will be used as a canoe launching area. (See plat L -2 for details.) (5) The extension of the two existing piers in a landward direction for a distance of 181. These extensions will be 7' wide and will connect to the proposed boardwalk. City of Washington North Carolina Estuarium Center Page 2 Environmental impacts The project as proposed should have the following environmental impacts: (1) Approximately 1,990 sq. ft. of open water area will be filled landward of the proposed bulkhead. Approximately 1,650 sq. ft. of this area will be in the vicinity of the boat ramp. This area is within a manmade cut and not adjacent to a natural shoreline. (2) Some short term turbidity will exist during project construction. David L. Gossett - Washington Regional Office - 8 September 1995 •,% fill *"J,.
