Re: Request for Letter of Refinement, State Permit#168-05
Dear Mr. Bissette:
This letter is in response to your request, as agent for Spooner's Creek Partners,LLC, for a
refinement to State Permit#168-05, issued on November 15, 2005. The request was submitted
to Mr. Ryan Davenport on January 18, 2006. The permit was originally issued for the
replacement of the existing 2776' bulkhead along Bogue Sound. The new bulkhead as applied
and permitted was to be located landward of the existing bulkhead. The permit was issued in
accordance with associated plats depicting the proposal as such. Permit conditions require that
the bulkhead be constructed landward of nhw and of coastal wetlands.
You have now requested to remove the existing bulkhead in sections and construct the new
bulkhead in the same footprint. Careful construction methodology must be employed to prevent
the disturbance or sedimentation of the marsh adjacent to the bulkhead. I agree with the
assessment made by Mr. Davenport that the proposal remains consistent with the applicable rules
found in 15A NCAC 07H .0208.
Please be advised that through this Letter of Refinement,DCM conveys its determination that
the request as submitted on January 18,2006, is consistent with existing DCM rules and
regulations and is in keeping with the original purpose and intent of the CAMA/Dredge and Fill
permit. Please note that all original permit conditions apply.
If you have any questions,please feel free to contact me at(252) 808-2808.
Sincerely,
Tere Barrett
