Subject: Renewal of Major CAMA Permit no. 165-05
Perdue Agribusiness LLC is requesting for the second time,to renew Major CAMA permit
no. 165-05 originally issued on 21 November 2005 for maintenance excavation of the barge slip
at their grain facility located in the Town of Belhaven adjacent Pantego Creek in Beaufort County,
North Carolina. Perdue staff reports that the Alligator/Pungo river cut of the Intercoastal
Waterway (ICW) has ongoing shoaling issues, therefore barges are unable to travel the cut fully
loaded. Purdue staff reports that the US Army Corps may undertake some dredging work in the
ICW cut this dredging cycle due to increased tonnage, mainly barges traveling to Nucor, and can
now justify the dredging work. Perdue staff want to be prepared if the shoaling is cleared. This is
the second 5 year maintenance request by Perdue since the original issuance of the permit.
Washington staff has no objection to the renewal of this permit. The $100 check has been
deposited.

Barge Slip Maintenance Project
Permit# 165-05
Dear Mr. Trowell:
Perdue AgriBusiness, LLC is requesting an extension for the maintenance permit
from the N.C. Division of Coastal Management. This permit was obtained to perform
necessary maintenance to our barge slip, located at our grain facility in Belhaven. The
project entailed excavation of our current barge slip to accommodate the draft required
for fully loaded barges, in addition to shoreline stabilization. There has been no work
performed under this permit because an area of the current shipping lane through the
inter-coastal waterway near the Alligator River and the current channel within the
breakwater at Belhaven will not accommodate the draft of fully loaded barges as alluded
to in my 2013 letter. Although the issue within Pantego Creek in Belhaven has corrected
itself, there are still issues near the Alligator River. It would not prove beneficial to
undertake the project until this area of barge travel have been dredged to allow
uninhibited passage. We have been made aware of the possibility that due to tonnage
shipped on the aforementioned waterway, the Corp of Engineers is considering to
undertake dredging of this channel;therefore we respectfully request this extension to
allow us the opportunity to perform said work at such time the shipping lane's depth is
restored to reflect previous conditions.
Please find enclosed the required fee. We hope this meets with your approval and
if you should have any questions regarding this permit extension request, please contact
me at 252-348-4326.
