Hey Brian, the use of temporary logging mats to cross wetlands area as a means of construction is a common practice. I
don't have your permit file in front of me, can you tell me the appeal deadline?

Subject: Carawan Marina Denial Discussion
All,
Today I spoke with the owner, Phillip Carawan about what his goals are and possible options. I tried to call you all this
afternoon and left messages, but I think this storm may have caused some early closures. I've also had a brief discussion
with an attorney who may try to help us, but our goal is to come up with a solution and avoid appeals, and even
variances, if at all possible. I very much would like to talk with you ASAP about whether Mr. Carawan and/or his
contractor could use timber mats to access the western jetty location for construction. I know such mats are used all
the time for logging operations in wetlands, so I think the Corps will be OK with it. My thought is that DCM might be
able to also allow this as an exemption from the definition of development, or from the coastal buffer rule if we
document that this will only be a temporary access to complete already CAMA permitted development work. I was
thinking we could send DCM a letter describing the matting we would use, how long it would be there, and how we
would assure that the area was fully restored to its natural condition after the rock is moved in. We realize we might
not be able to get the entire jetty length done this way, but if we can get the nearshore part done this way, it greatly
would help as the water depths are generally shallowest near the shore. There is no specific related language in the
existing permit. In this scenario, the 404 area to be crossed would be temporary and the 30' buffer area would be fully
restored upon completion. I understand that you cannot speak for USACE and DWR, but they have already indicated
approval for permanent impacts here, so I suspect temporary crossing would be acceptable to them. If this is allowed by
DCM, we can follow with confirmation from those agencies. It is important to know DCM's position ASAP since the
appeal deadline is near.
Thanks,
Brian D. Rubino, P.G.

Dear Mr. Carawan:

This letter is in response to your application for a Major Modification to Permit No. 38-96 under the
Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA), in which authorization was requested to fill Section 404
wetlands for an access road to facilitate the construction of previously authorized jetties and
maintenance excavation of the channel adjacent to the Albemarle Sound, at 1218 Woodard Road in
Tyrrell County. Processing of the application, which was received as complete by the Division of
Coastal Management's Washington Regional Office on May 2, 2016 is now complete. Based on the
state's review, the Division of Coastal Management has made the following findings:
1) The proposed project is a Major Modification to CAMA Major Permit No. 38-96. Major
Permit No. 38-96, which was originally issued on March 15, 1996 to Mr. Warren Woodard,
authorized excavation of a boat basin with a channel and boat ramp. Since the issuance of the
original permit, there have been modifications and/or permit transfers, including the
following:
a) A Minor Modification issued on September 10, 1997 for construction of two
wooden groins into the Albemarle Sound;
b) A Minor Modification issued on October 7, 1998 authorizing the use of
riprap to stabilize the east side of the canal;
c) Permit No. 38-96 was transferred to Lilias J. Morison and Jennifer Frost on
April 12, 2004;
d) Permit No. 38-96 was transferred again on January 12, 2014 to Mr. Phillip
Carawan.

e) A Major Modification was issued on February 27, 2015 which authorized
construction of two rock groins, rip rap shoreline stabilization, and wetland
excavation.
2) Major Permit 38-96 has been renewed numerous times and currently expires December 31,
2018.
3) The subject property is located adjacent to Albemarle Sound.
4) The proposed access road project would involve development within the Coastal Shorelines
Area of Environmental Concern (AEC).
5) The proposed access road project would fill 5,321 square feet of vegetated Section 404
wetlands.
6) According to the workplan drawing submitted by the applicant (Sheet 1 of 1 dated revised
4/15/16), all of the proposed access road would be constructed within the 30-foot coastal
shoreline buffer.
7) In accordance with 15A NCAC 07H.0208(a)(1), private roads are not considered to be water
dependent development.
8) The area to be filled within the Coastal Shorelines AEC is not currently considered an existing
impervious surface.
9) Based upon the preceding findings, the proposed project has been found to be inconsistent
with 15A NCAC 07H.0209(b)(10(A), which states
(10) Within the Coastal Shorelines category (estuarine and public trust shoreline AECs), new
development shall be located a distance of 30 feet landward of the normal water level or
normal high water level, with the exception of the following:
(A) Water -dependent uses as described in Rule 07H.0208(a)(1) of this Section;
(B) Pile -supported signs (in accordance with local regulations);
(C) Post- or pile -supported fences;
(D) Elevated, slatted, wooden boardwalks exclusively for pedestrian use and six feet in
width or less. The boardwalk may be greater than six feet in width if it is to serve a
public use or need;

surfaces except those necessary to protect the pump;
(F) Decks/Observation Decks limited to slatted, wooden, elevated and unroofed decks
that shall not singularly or collectively exceed 200 square feet;
(G) Grading, excavation and landscaping with no wetland f ll except when required by
a permitted shoreline stabilization project. Projects shall not increase_stormwater
runoff to adjacent estuarine and public trust waters;
(H) Development over existing impervious surfaces, provided that the existing
impervious surface is not increased and the applicant designs the project to comply
with the intent of the rules to the maximum extent feasible;
(I) Where application of the buffer requirement would preclude placement of a
residential structure with a footprint of 1,200 square feet or less on lots, parcels and
tracts platted prior to June 1, 1999, development may be permitted within the buffer as
required in Subparagraph (d)(10) of this Rule, providing the following criteria are
met:
(i) Development shall minimize the impacts to the buffer and reduce runoff by
limiting land disturbance to only so much as is necessary to construct and
provide access to the residence and to allow installation or connection of
utilities such as water and sewer; and
(ii) The residential structure development shall be located a distance landward
of the normal high water or normal water level equal to 20 percent of the
greatest depth of the lot. Existing structures that encroach into the applicable
buffer area may be replaced or repaired consistent with the criteria set out in
Rules. 0201 and. 0211 in Subchapter 07J of this Chapter; and
(J) Where application of the buffer requirement set out in 15A NCAC 07H
.0209(d)(10) would preclude placement of a residential structure on an undeveloped
lot platted prior to June 1, 1999 that are 5, 000 square feet or less that does not require
an on -site septic system, or on an undeveloped lot that is 7,500 square feet or less that
requires an on -site septic system, development may be permitted within the buffer if all
the following criteria are met:
(i) The lot on which the proposed residential structure is to be located, is
located between:
(I) Two existing waterfront residential structures, both of which are
within 100 feet of the center of the lot and at least one of which
encroaches into the buffer; or

(II) An existing waterfront residential structure that encroaches into the
buffer and a road, canal, or other open body of water, both of which
are within 100 feet of the center of the lot;
(ii) Development of the lot shall minimize the impacts to the buffer and reduce
runoff by limiting land disturbance to only so much as is necessary to construct
and provide access to the residence and to allow installation or connection of
(iii) Placement of the residential structure and pervious decking may be
aligned no further into the buffer than the existing residential structures and
existing pervious decking on adjoining lots;
(iv) The first one and one-half inches of rainfall from all impervious surfaces
on the lot shall be collected and contained on -site in accordance with the
design standards for stormwater management for coastal counties as specified
in 15A NCAC 02H.1005. The stormwater management system shall be
designed by an individual who meets applicable State occupational licensing
requirements for the type of system proposed and approved during the permit
application process. If the residential structure encroaches into the buffer, then
no other impervious surfaces will be allowed within the buffer; and
(v) The lots must not be adjacent to waters designated as approved or
conditionally approved shellfish waters by the Shellfish Sanitation Section of
the Division of Environmental Health of the Department of Environment and
Natural Resources.
Given the preceding findings, it is necessary that your request for issuance of a CAMA Major Permit
under the Coastal Area Management Act be denied. This denial is made pursuant to N.C.G.S. 113A-
120(a)(8) which requires denial for projects inconsistent with the state guidelines for Areas of
Environmental Concern or local land use plans.
If you wish to appeal this denial, you are entitled to a contested case hearing. The hearing will
involve appearing before an Administrative Law Judge who listens to evidence and arguments of
both parties before making a final decision on the appeal. Your request for a hearing must be in the
form of a written petition, complying with the requirements of § 150B of the General Statutes of
North Carolina, and must be filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service

Thank you for meeting out at Carawan Marina yesterday to review the 404 area restoration and to assist with a
delineation modification at the head of the 404 area in the vicinity of the pilings. As discussed, we will be surveying in
the revised delineation area and will submit that survey to you with a revised JD request. As we discussed during our
meeting, Mr. Carawan will complete the restoration in the impact area by final grading and installation of silt fence
around the 404 area in that location. I will advise that the silt fence should be maintained over time. I appreciate your
assistance with this project. I have copied Kevin Hart and Anthony Scarbraugh and I would like to request that the
review of the CAMA Modification be taken off -hold so that the permit process can resume.

Per our conversation, the Division of Water Resources has received information that potential 404 wetland fill has
occurred in an area located west and southwest of the existing boat basin at the Carawan Marina facility. After
reviewing the Carawan Marina Major Application figure received by this Office on May 5, 2016 and latest aerial from
April 9, 2016, fill material may exist within delineated area of 401/404 wetland. I propose an onsite meeting to confirm
if a violation exists and discuss potential resolutions.

Phillip Carawan
Carawan Marina
Tyrrell County
Major Modification to Permit No. 38-96
PROJECT SETTING
Quible and Associates, P.C. has submitted a CAMA Major Modification request for
Phillip Carawan to modify an existing commercial fishing manmade basin (formerly Woodards
Marina) on the Albemarle Sound. The 356 acre project site is located at the end of Woodard Road
off of Deweys Pier Road (SR 1218) east of the Town of Columbia, in Tyrrell County. There is an
existing active Major CAMA permit (38-96) that permitted a 25ft wide by 225ft long by -6ft below
Normal Water Level (NWL) access channel into a 23ft wide by 150ft long by -6ft below NWL canal.
This permit was modified in 1997 for two 150ft wooden jetties (with a height not to exceed 6inches
above NWL) to stabilize and protect the access channel. These jetties have not been constructed at
this time. These jetties were permitted as a compromise between the former owner of the property
and the resource agencies after longer rip rap jetties had been proposed. The property was sold to a
new owner that modified the permit in February 2015 to include two rip rap jetties (175ft and 183ft
long averaging 20 feet base width), rip rap 628ft by 1 Oft of the shoreline, bulkhead 300ft of the canal
and expand the entrance canal to 60ft by 250ft by -6.5ft below NWL and the channel to 60ft by 300ft
by -6.5ft below NWL. At this time the structures permitted in February 2015 have not been
constructed. Currently the site includes 27 boat slips, a fish house, gravel parking and driveways, and
a boat ramp. A 47ft by 76ft roofed concrete pad adjacent to the fish house has been permitted but not
built at this time. Fishermen store their crab pots and other commercial fishing gear onsite. The site
is surrounded by agriculture to the south and forested wetlands and agriculture to the west and east.
Due to regular shoaling there has been routine maintenance excavation at the mouth of the channel in
4 of the last 6 years (2016, 2014, 2013, and 2010). These requests have been made to perform
excavation during the Anadromous Fish Spawning Area moratorium to allow safer navigation during
the crab fishing season.
The Albemarle Sound at the project site is classified as SB by the Environmental
Commission and as Coastal by the Marine Fisheries Commission. The Albemarle Sound is
approximately 7.5 miles wide at this location.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting to construct a 265ft by 20ft access road through 404
wetlands (5,321ft2) for construction of the permitted jetties and maintenance excavation of the
channel. The applicant is proposing mitigation through on -site wetland conservation (5:1).
ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The wetland fill will convert 5,321 ftz of vegetated wetlands to uplands.

CAMA Major Permit Narrative
Modification Request (This is to accompany the overall Project Narrative that describes
economic need and background)
Prior to construction of the items permitted in CAMA Major 20-15 on 2/10/2015, Philip Carawan
would like to modify the existing permit. Based on our last interagency scoping meeting that
was primarily intended to discuss a proposed jetty widening and alternate construction methods,
including a pile -supported timber "crib system" with rock. It is currently the intention of Mr.
Carawan to build the jetties as currently permitted (without modifications), but he would like to
reserve the ability to discuss jetty widening in the future.
Proposed modification work includes:
Section 404 Wetland fill (5,321 sq.ft.) to access the western jetty. This proposed fill would
allow access to the jetty for construction and maintenance. Without this area of impacts, land -
based access to the jetty would have to include matting through a Section 404 area. This area
would include sand fill with a gravel or shell surface.
It is understood that USACE and DW R will require compensatory mitigation for this proposed
activity to offset fill impacts proposed. Please see the attached June 15, 2015 memorandum
related to the mitigation plan along with the mitigation bank acceptance letter.

CAMA Major Permit Narrative I!
Economic Benefits and Need for Improvements
Tyrrell County, along with other northeastern North Carolina counties, is considered a Tier 1
(distressed) County by NC Department of Commerce. In recent times, both agriculture and
manufacturing have declined sharply, and traditional manufacturing is virtually non-existent.
Tyrrell County is currently the least populated county the state and has suffered from a
population decrease of approximately 7% since 2010. Philip Carawan, owner of Captain Neill's
Seafood, one of the largest employers in the County, is involved in the seafood industry,
including processing, sales and commercial fishing. The Albemarle Region of eastern NC has
historically been recognized as a top seafood producer. With many coastal fish houses and
marinas in coastal NC having been shut down, in large part from change of use of the coastal
waterfront, it is important to identify and preserve key existing facilities. Mr. Carawan purchased
the subject property in 2013 for its' existing boat basin and commercial fishing port capabilities.
The nearest Albemarle Sound commercial fishing ports are Alligator River Marina (-15 miles
from Carawan's Marina) and Mackey's Marina (-24 miles from Carawan's Marina).
Captain Neill's Seafood is an extremely important part of the local economy which currently
employs approximately 150 people in the seafood processing operation and is directly
associated with approximately 45 fishing boats (private operations with 2 people per boat). In
addition to the approximately 240 person direct salary positive impacts associated with the
operation, there are extensive secondary positive impacts to the economy. The operation
affects nearly every business in Tyrell County, including utility companies, grocery sto s, ql �
stations, etc. Most of this cannot be accurately quantified, but as an example, the mo �lfg
water bill for the company is commonly over $10,000.

Background
The subject property is an approximately 356 acre tract of land in Tyrrell County, on We
Albemarle Sound, to the north of the Town of Columbia. The property is accessible from
Deweys Pier Road which leads to Woodard Road.
The property contains a man-made basin boat basin that is connected to The Albemarle Sound.
CAMA Major Permit 38-96 was originally issued in 1996 for the excavation of an upland basin in
high ground, maintenance excavation of an access channel in the Sound (to -6 ft NWL),
dockage structures and a boat ramp. The permit was modified in 1997 to include construction
of a bulkhead around the perimeter of the boat basin, construction of a bulkhead in each side of
the entrance canals and construction of (2) 150 ft wooden groins into the Albemarle Sound. RECEIVED
This work is permitted, but not yet built at this time.
In 2011, a wetland delineation was performed and confirmed by USACE on the northern MAY 0 9 2016
(waterward) 120 acres of the subject tract. The upland areas of the property consist of DC M- M H D C Il
agricultural fields and some wooded uplands. The wetland areas are imarilwo d
