Dear Ms. Hedrick, As designated "Acting Agent" for the Town of Windsor (see attached NCCAMA Agent Authorization Form dated January 10, 2013), 1 am providing technical assistance to the town's personnel for implementation of planned improvements for access to the Cashie River at the Roanoke/Cashie River Center, 112 Water Street, Windsor, NC. The following narrative offers insight to the planned improvements: Project Setting The project site is adjacent US HWY 17 Business (112 Water Street) in the Town of Windsor on the Cashie River in Bertie County, North Carolina. The Partnership for the Sounds Roanoke/Cashie River Center Museum, the Department of Interior—US Fish and Wildlife Service Roanoke River Wildlife Refuge headquarters, and Town of Windsor Farmers' Market are located on the approximately 6.2 acre site. Additional man-made features on the site include asphalt drive and parking areas, wooden boardwalks, 10-transient boat slips, boat ramp, amphitheater, outdoor restroom facilities and in-stream constructed wetlands. Vegetation on the site primarily consists of a variety of hydrophytic and upland vegetative plants, scrub willows, cypress, sycamore and maple trees clustered along the shoreline. Land use of adjacent properties to the northeast consists of light industrial/commercial development of properties owned by the Town of Windsor and the Windsor Township Development Commission located between the Roanoke/Cashie River Center's property line and South Queen Street. The northwest property line is adjacent open farmland owned by Virginia S. Gillam Heirs and the southwest property line is Town of Windsor property that consists of light industrial development. The Cashie River is classified as B-SW by the NC Environmental Commission, considered as Inland Waters, and is not open to shell fishing. Purpose The Town of Windsor desires to request an extension and modification to Permit No. 150-05, issued to the Town of Windsor on June 8, 2006, with an expiration date of December 31, 2012. Development activities that have previously been completed under this Permit No. include the following: 1) construction of two (2) 8'W x 321 head pier structures for transient boat dockage; 2) two (2) 8'W x 201 T-platforms connected to form these head pier structures; 3) ten (Wyj ry x; transient boat slips, and 4) a minor modification to apply fill material to create a sand berm along JUN 2 6 Z013 tDOMAM CITY the edge of the bank to serve as an undeveloped kayak and canoe launching site (where planned project improvements are to be directed). Project Description This extension and modification request to Permit No. 150-05 (see attached letter dated January 9, 2013) is to address planned improvements for construction of a more pronounced and ADA transfer safe launch and two canoe/kayak boat slips adjacent the southern property line where the above stated fill material was applied in 2006. Proposed work under this modification shall be the following: 1) construction of approximately 6'W x 235' L of concrete walkway; 2) installation of 4'W x 241 ADA aluminum gangway to connect walkway to launching platform; 3) 16'W x 261 AccuDock ADA transfer safe launching platform; and 4) two (2) transient canoe/kayak boat slips to facilitate small boat launching/take-out. Environmental Concerns/Design Factors I visited the site with Mr. Josh R. Pelletier, Regulatory Specialist with the United States Army Corps of Engineers in the Washington Regulatory Field Office, on February 14, 2013. No wetlands have been designated in the area of planned access walkway (see attached email correspondence from Mr. Pelletier dated February 26, 2013);therefore, no height restrictions for protection of shaded areas are applicable. The walkway shall be constructed of a 6'W poured concrete slab beginning at ground level to connect to the existing access road and gradually be graded for approximately 65 linear feet to an average one (1) foot minimum above natural ground level (NGL). The remaining + 170 to the Cashie River's edge will follow natural grade approximately two (2) feet above NGL (to maintain the maximum 1:12 slope ramp ADA requirements). The walkway access will be constructed with a 10' flat landing/rest areas every 30 linear feet to meet ADA guidelines/requirements. A 4'W x 241 aluminum gangway will then provide access from the stationary concrete access walkway to the ADA transfer safe floating launching platform to meet the ADA 1:12 maximum slope requirements. Anticipated Impacts The launching platform to be constructed over the Cashie River will result in some localized short- term turbidity during the installation of 4 (four) pilings. It will create 2 (two) additional docking slips to the original 10-slip transient boat docking facility and increase the "shaded impact area" on the Cashie River by+416 sq. ft. of river bottom. cerely, P.

A Minor Modification of the permit was issued on 8 June 2006 to create a sandy kayak/canoe launch area adjacent the Cashie River in the same area they are now proposing a kayak launch pier. The aforementioned authorized development has been completed. Mr. David Hodges, Jr., as agent for the Town of Windsor, submitted the request on 20 June 2013 for a renewal and modification to the permit to allow for the construction of a 235' long by 6' wide concrete upland access connected to a 24' long by 4' wide aluminum gangway (12' over land and 12' over water) to a 26' long by 16' wide floating platform with a 12' long by 4' wide canoe launch and a 12' long by 3' wide kayak launch within the platform footprint. The launch structure is being proposed behind the Roanoke/Cashie River Center ±160' downstream of the existing 10-slip docking facility. The proposed T-head launch structure and access will result in an additional 48 ft2 shaded impact from the gangway and 416 ft2 shaded impact from the launch platform, for a total of 464 ft2 shaded impact over the Cashie River. Total number of slips at the property will increase by two from the double canoe/kayak launches, resulting in a total of 12 slips for the Town of Windsor. The proposed canoe/kayak launch structure and upland access is shown on the attached two plan view and one cross-sectional drawings, all dated 19 June 2013. Details of the launch platform are shown on the drawing dated 19 April 2012.

The Town of Windsor desires to officially request an extension and modification to Permit No. 150-05, issued to the Town of Windsor on June 8, 2006 with an expiration date of December 31,2012. The initial authorized work under Permit No. 150-05 consisted of two piers with associated platforms and waterfront dockage for ten boats. This workwas completed on February 23, 2007. A minor modification was issued on June 8,2006 and consisted of placement of a sand berm along the waterfront,which was completed in the month of July,2006. The extension is necessary, as the Town has applied for a DCM 2012-2013 Public Beach and Waterfront Access grant, which they hope to hear positive response in the near future. The grant shall provide financial assistance to the town to install the planned improvements. This second modification requested of Permit No. 150-05 will be to address planned improvements for a canoe/kayak launch site along the Cashie River waterfront at the Roanoke-Cashie River Center in Windsor,NC. Planned work includes construction of a 10' wide boardwalk approximately 240 linear feet to connect the parking area to the riverfront where a gangway and floating canoe/kayak launch platform shall be constructed. The town shall be providing the necessary information and fees as related to these improvements for your review in the early months of 2013. The town is presently waiting to complete state contract actions for the 2012-2013 DCM grant application before proceeding.
