additional authorization. The activities will not result in any additional impacts to wetlands or
waters of the State.
Please be advised that through this Letter of Authorization,the N.C. Division of Coastal
Management(DCM) conveys its determination that the installation of one(1) solar powered web
camera on an existing remnant utility pole near the intersection of NC 12 and Lifeboat Station
Road to monitor traffic on the south end of the Basnight Bridge, as described in the NCDOT
request dated April 29, 2021, is consistent with existing State rules and regulations and is in
keeping with the original purpose and intent of CAMA Major Permit No. 106-12.
Please note that the solar powered web camera, including the utility pole associated with the web
camera, shall be removed in its entirety after it is no longer needed. This letter shall be attached

Hey Paul,
I think that's a great idea and location. Being in the ROW I don't think that anything else is needed at this time regarding
keeping that in place. Makes more sense than having CHEC remove it,then you all having to put something new in
place. I suspect that will add the idea of"security"to a degree going back to that parking area which is useful as well.
Appreciate the heads up.

Art,
NCDOT has retained one of the poles from CHEC at the Lifeboat Station Road intersection for a permanent web cam the
pole will be cut down to 45', and the Division plans to mount a solar powered web cam to observe the southern end of
the Basnight Bridge and the northern end of the Canal Zone. I'm going to need a Letter of Refinement for the CAMA
Permit for this work, but will I need any authorization from the Refuge? Not sure how the other web cam at the south
end of the canal zone was handled by the Refuge,and this new web cam will be within the NCDOT easement. Please see
the attached image for the location.

Greg,
Please see the attached request for the permanent installation of a traffic camera at the south end of the Basnight
Bridge. I usually deliver hard copies of requests to your office in Elizabeth City. I'm not sure if your office is currently
open there, so could I drop the packet off with you today in Dare County? I have a 1pm meeting near Rodanthe, but I
could meet you anywhere in Nags Head that would be convenient for you.
Thanks, and let me know if you have any questions about the request.
