Pamlico County Lacy M. Henry Project Setting The applicant owns a 0.23-acre parcel of land adjacent to Raccoon Creek in the Town of Oriental in Pamlico County, North Carolina. The property is located at the intersection of South Avenue and Avenue A. The site was used as a boat yard that operated in this location from 1912 through 1981. There are dilapidated docks adjacent to the property that will be removed if the proposed development is permitted. In 1955 Hurricane Ione destroyed the high ground structure previously on the site. The property is vegetated with various upland grasses,pine trees, oaks and sweetgum.Because the site was the location of a commercial facility,it has been heavily impacted. There are pieces of machinery and remnants of a marine railway scattered around.the property. A chain link fence surrounds the property on three sides,with Raccoon Creek defining the remaining property line. The shoreline is unprotected and has experienced some erosion over time. The creek bottom is sandy and unvegetated at this location. The water is 6' deep at the end of the proposed structure. Raccoon Creek is the primary harbor for the Town of Oriental and has been the site of commercial activity for many years. Commercial fish houses,marinas,and a hotel border the creek. The project property is on the east shore of Raccoon Creek.There is a commercial fishing operation to the south of the project property.The shoreline is bulkheaded and there are several docks adjacent to the property. Several large shrimp boats are moored at the docks. A rock jetty maintained by the US Army Corps of Engineers projects westward from the adjacent property. There.are large buildings adjacent to the existing bulkhead,and most of the property is covered with gravel parking areas or building roofs.The property to the north is the site of a dock and small structure.The area is used to moor commercial fishing vessels. This shoreline is also bulkheaded. At this location, Raccoon Creek is classified SC HQW NSW by the Environmental Management Commission.The property is located in the Neuse River Basin. The waters are closed to the harvesting of shellfish. Project Description The applicant proposes to construct two commercial docks.The dock on the north side of the property would be 6'by 135'with no finger piers. The dock on the south side of the property would be 6'by 108'with three finger piers. The finger piers would be 4' by 14',4' by 23',and 4' by 21'. There are five triangular shaped platforms proposed on the north side of the structure.The platforms vary in size: There are two 8' by 20' triangles, two 5' by 15' triangles and one 5' by 17' triangle proposed. The applicant also proposes to install 147 linear feet ofbulkhead along the shoreline.The proposed alignment would be a maximum 11' waterward of the normal water level at some points along its length, but would be above the normal water level at other points. The average distance waterward of the normal water level would be 0'. In order to achieve similar water depths in all of the proposed slips,the applicant is requesting authorization to excavate a 190'by 130' area adjacent to his property.Existing water depths average-3.2'NWL,and the proposed final project depth is,-6' NWL. The applicant is proposing to remove 2,100 cubic yards of material from Raccoon Creek. If suitable, the spoil material would be used as backfill for the proposed bulkhead.Any unacceptable material or material in excess of that needed as backfill would be removed from the property and disposed of on a high ground site. Anticipated Impacts The project as proposed would impact 41,800 fft . The dock and finger piers would usurp 16,800 square feet of creek bottom, of which 1,956 f would be shaded. Approximately 300 f�of shallow water would be filled during construction of the bulkhead, and 24,700 square feet of creek bottom would be removed during the proposed excavation. Short-term localized turbidity would result from construction. Tracey L.

DEC T 2002 APPLICATION TO DEVELOP IN NORTH A , '�WWAREA NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF PURPOSE,ME�THOC G 1ST-RUCTION, AND DAILY OPERATIONS OF PROPOSED PROJECT ATTACHMENT TO FORM DCM-MP-1 (3)(d) The purpose of this project is to improve the site of a former boatyard and the adjacent waters to create docking spaces for 8 boats. Using barge mounted and land based equipment, the remains of the previous dock system will be removed. The site will be bulkheaded to connect existing bulkheads on adjacent properties. Backfill material will be provided by dredging the area of the previous dock system. Dredge spoil In excess of the volume required for backrilling will be removed to an acceptable offsite location. After the proposed bottom depth is established, new docks and mooring piles will be constructed to provide the desired number of docking spaces. Owing to the serpentine alignment of the existing normal water line, the proposed bulkhead alignment reaches maximum distances of 16 feet landward and 11 feet waterward.from the existing normal water line. The proposed bulkhead installation will connect existing bulkheads on the adjacent properties. This will serve to protect the project site from any increased erosion potential created by the proposed dredging activity, and provide the means to.raise the project site to a grade equal to,that of the adjacent properties. The bulkheaded site will be graded and landscaped to create an improved riparian buffer and establish diffuse stormwater flow to the creek. Services provided at the docking spaces will include water and power only.A locked head policy will be enforced. Daily operations will include docking space management, dock and services maintenance.

BACKGROUND The Town of®rie al has filed a third party hearing request seeking a hearing on Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Major Development Permit No. 49-03 issued to Lacy M. Henry by the Division of Coastal Management. Permit NoW.A9=�43 authorizes Mr. Henry to construct an eight slip docking facility, install 147 linear feet of bulkhead, and conduct excavation in Racoon Creek at the intersection of South Avenue and Avenue A in the Town of Oriental, Pamlico County. The Town claims that it owns the southern terminus of South Avenue and that the Division of Coastal Management should have suspended processing Mr. Henry's permit application until the ownership dispute was resolved. Under the CAMA, a third party may file a contested case hearing petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) to challenge the issuance of a permit to someone else only if the Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) first determines that a contested case hearing is appropriate. N.C. Gen. Stat. §113A-121.1(b)provides that the determination of whether a hearing is appropriate should be based upon a consideration of whether the petitioner: 1. Has alleged that the decision is contrary to a statute or rule; 2. Is directly affected by the decision; and 3. Has alleged facts or made legal arguments that demonstrate that the hearing request is not frivolous. 2 The CRC has delegated the authority to its Chairman to determine whether a third party hearing request should be granted or denied. Rule 15A N.C. Administrative Code (NCAC) 7H .0301(b). A third party whose hearing request is granted may file a petition with the OAH. A third party whose hearing request is denied may seek judicial review. II. FACTS 1. On December 17, 2002, Lacy M. Henry filed an application with the Division of Coastal Management for a CAMA major development permit to construct an eight slip docking facility, construct 147 linear feet of bulkhead, and conduct excavation to improve navigability in Racoon Creek in the Town of Oriental. (Attachment 1 is a copy of Mr. Henry's permit application which is hereby incorporated by reference.) 2. The proposed project is on the east side of Racoon Creek at the intersection of South Avenue and Avenue A. 3. A boat yard was formerly located at this site. The high ground structure was destroyed during Hurricane Ione in 1955,but some dilapidated docks remain. 4. Racoon Creek is the primary harbor for the.Town of Oriental, and various commercial enterprises are located in the harbor area. 5. Attached to Mr. Henry's permit application, was a Deed from Lacy Carl Henry and wife Myrtle Benton Henry to Lacy M. Henry and wife Judy B. Henry dated August 30, 1977, and recorded at Book 192, Page 142, Pamlico County Registry of Deeds, a Quiticlaim Deed from Ann Wadley Wing to Lacy Henry dated March 28, 1995, and recorded at Book 304, Page 93, Pamlico County Registry of Deeds, and a Judgment of the Pamlico County Superior Court in Gaston B. Fulcher v. Lacy M. Henry and wife Judy B. Henry and Lacy Carl Henry and wife 3 Myrtle Benton Henry dated December 19, 1979, and recorded at Book 204, Page 131, Pamlico County Registry of Deeds. 6. In his permit application, Mr. Henry indicated that he owned the site, and he provided the Deeds and Judgment to support his claim. (See Attachment 1.) 7. In a letter dated February 21, 2003, Michael Scott Davis, acting as attorney for the Town of Oriental, objected to Mr. Henry's permit application because he claimed ownership of a public street. (Attachment 2 is a copy of a letter from Michael Scott Davis to Tracey L. Wheeler dated February 21, 2003, which is hereby incorporated by reference.) 8. On March 6, 2003, the Town of Oriental filed a Complaint against Lacy Henry and his wife Judy and E. Sherrill Styron and his wife Phyllis to clear title to the terminus of South Avenue. The Town provided the DCM with a copy of the Complaint. (Attachment 3 is a copy of the Complaint which is part of the Town of Oriental's hearing request.) 9. On April 14, 2003, the Division of Coastal Management issued CAMA Major Development Permit No. 49-03 to Lacy M. Henry authorizing the development he had proposed subject to certain conditions. (Attachment 4 is a copy of Permit No. 49-03 which is hereby incorporated by reference.) 10. Condition 32 of Permit No. 49-03 provided that: If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that a party other than the permittee has legal title to any part of the area approved for development under this permit, this permit shall be null and void as to the area the court determines is not owned by the permittee. This condition shall take effect on the date such court judgment becomes final. In such event, the permittee shall consult DCM prior to initiating or continuing any further development under this permit. 11. Permit No. 49-03 also included a NOTE which provided that: "This permit does 4 not.convey and rights or privileges, either in real estate or material." 12. On October 30, 1991, the Coastal Resources Commission made a final agency decision in Richard C. Flowers v. North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Coastal Resources, 90 EHR 0864, Carteret County, finding that the Division of Coastal Management improperly found that,a permit application was incomplete when the applicant submitted a Deed and other information showing ownership but the State Property Office, North Carolina Department of Administration, claimed that the property was owned by the State of North Carolina. The Division should have processed the permit application based on Mr. Flowers' claim of title. (Attachment 5 is a copy of the decision of the Coastal Resources Commission in the Richard Flowers contested case which is hereby incorporated by reference.) 13. Since the Flowers decision, the Division of Coastal Management has processed otherwise complete permit applications so long as the applicant claims ownership and submits a deed or other supporting document even though another party disputes such claim of ownership. 14. On May 1, 2003, the Town of Oriental filed a third party hearing request with the Director, Division of Coastal.Management, seeking a hearing on the issuance of CAMA Permit No. 49-03. III. DCM'S RECOMMENDATION A Has the Petitioner Alleged that the Decision Is Contrary to a Statute or Rule? Yes. The Petitioner alleges that DCM acted improperly under Rule 15A NCAC U .0204(b)(4) which provides that: (4) a copy of a deed or other instrument under which the applicant "claims title" 5 must accompany a CAMA major development and/or dredge and fill permit application. [Emphasis added.] The Town argues that once the DCM was informed of the Town's "bona fide" claim of ownership, the DCM should have placed Mr. Henry's permit application on hold until the ownership issue was resolved. B. Is the Petitioner Directly Affected by the Decision? Yes. The Town of Oriental is directly affected by the issuance of Permit No. 49-03 because it claims that part of the site is a public street. - C. Has the Petitioner alleged facts or made legal arguments which show that its hearing request is not frivolous. No. In the Richard Flowers decision, the Coastal Resources Commission directed the Division of Coastal Management to continue processing a permit application even when the title is disputed. Mr. Flowers indicated in his permit application that he owned the land and provided a Deed, a title opinion, and a title insurance policy in support of his claim of ownership. The State Property Office objected to the permit application on the ground that the State owned the property in question. The Commission decided that the Division erred in finding that Mr. Flower's permit application was incomplete and inaccurate because of the ownership dispute and that the processing of his permit application should be terminated. Since the Richard Flowers decision, the Division of Coastal Management has taken the position that it must process a permit application so long as the applicant provides a deed or other document purporting to show his ownership and that any dispute over ownership can only be resolved by the courts. The Division's position is supported by Rule 15A NCAC 7J .0204(b)(4) which requires a 6 permit applicant to provide DCM with a copy of the deed or other documents under which the applicant"claims title". The applicant is not required to provide a deed establishing or proving his title, but only the one under which he "claims title". Here, the Division complied with the Richard Flowers decision and Rule 7J .0204(b)(4). The Deeds and Judgment provided by Mr. Henry are the instruments under which he claims title. These instruments appear to be proper in form and to refer to the site he proposes to develop. As a result, the Division of Coastal Management was required to process his permit application. It would have been improper for the Division to suspend the processing of Mr. Henry's permit application regardless of the strength of the Town's claim of ownership. Even if the Town provided"bona fide" documentation of its claim as alleged in its hearing request, the DCM was under no duty to place the permit application on hold. An ownership dispute like this must be resolved in the courts, and the Town has already started the judicial process by filing a complaint against the Henries and the Styrons: Condition 32 of Permit No. 49-03 addresses the ownership dispute to the extent the Division may do so. It makes the permit null and void to the extent the Town obtains a judgment in its favor. The following NOTE makes it clear that Mr. Henry gains no ownership rights under the permit. Until the Town's lawsuit is resolved, Mr. Henry proceeds with the development of the site at his peril. The two Advisory Opinions of the Attorney General are not controlling. They support the Town's claim of riparian access at the terminus of South Avenue, but only if the Town can show in court that South Avenue is a public street. In Flowers v. Blackbeard Sailing Club, 15 N.C. App. 349,444 S.E.2d 636 (1994), disc. 7 rev, denied as improvidently granted, 340 N.C. 357, 457 S.E.2d 599 (1995), the North Carolina Court of Appeals held that a party must exhaust any available administrative remedies before appealing to the courts.

Our firm represents the Town of Oriental and I am enclosing for filing a Third Parry Request for Hearing to challenge issuance by DCM of Major CAMA Permit No. 49-03, issued to Mr. Lacy Henry on April 14, 2003. If you could have your staff confirm by telephone your office's receipt of this filing when you receive it tomorrow, I would be most appreciative. Best personal regards to you and Tom, and best wishes with the office move. Very truly yours, I. Clark Wright, Jr. ICW:icw Enclosures cc: Attorney General's Office Attorney for Lacy Henry Town of Oriental STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA BEFORE THE CRC CHAIR COUNTY OF PAMLICO IN RE THIRD PARTY REQUEST FOR ) HEARING TO CONTEST THE MAJOR ) THIRD PARTY HEARING DEVELOPMENT CAMA PERMIT ) REQUEST CHALLENGING ISSUED TO MR. LACY HENRY ON ) CAMA PERMIT APRIL 14, 2003 ) NOW COMES THE TOWN OF ORIENTAL ("Town"), by and through its undersigned attorneys, pursuant to NCGS 113A-121.1(b), and requests that the Chair of the Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) determine that a third parry contested case hearing is cl appropriate regarding the April 14, 2003 decision by the Division of Coastal Management (DCM)to issue Major Development CAMA Permit No. 49-03 to Mr. Lacy M. Henry, authorizing construction of an eight-slip pier and dock facility, bulkhead and dredging on and outward from real property at the southern terminus of South Avenue, within the Town's municipal limits. In support of this third party hearing request,the Town says to the CRC Chair as follows: 1. During May or June of 1995, the attorney for the Town contacted the North Carolina Attorney General's Office requesting an opinion concerning the Town's right to construct piers or docks at the end of(often unmaintained) dedicated streets and rights-of-way. 2. On June 19, 1995, the Attorney General issued an opinion letter to the Town concluding that"while there is no case law on this precise issue from North Carolina, the weight of authority provides that the town may construct a pier in order to exercise its right of access." A copy of this Attorney General's opinion letter is attached as Exhibit "A," the terms of which are incorporated by reference. 3. On December 6, 1995, the attorney for the Town wrote to the Attorney General requesting a second opinion letter on the issue of, among other things, who has superior title to the southern terminusiof South Avenue as between Mr. Lacy Henry (the applicant and holder of the CAMA permit at issue here) and the Town. A copy of this letter request is attached as Exhibit `B," the terms of which are incorporated by reference. 4. On January 12, 1996, the Attorney General issued an opinion letter to the Town concluding that (based on two assumptions) even the non-maintained portions of the streets in question (specifically including the southern terminus of South Avenue) were in fact and law accepted for dedication at the same time the primary portions of such streets were accepted, and thus any attempted Declaration of Withdrawal obtained by Mr. Lacy Henry had no legal effect on the Town's title interests, regardless of whether the ends of the streets had been actually opened or maintained by the Town. A copy of this letter is attached as Exhibit "C," the terms of which are,incorporated by reference. 5. The dedication of South Avenue was, in fact, accepted by the Town long before 1995. 6. Over many decades, lots on South Avenue have been sold by reference to recorded plats showing South Avenue as a dedicated, public right of way. 7. Despite actual knowledge of the Town's ownership claims, in July of 2002, Mr. Lacy Henry applied for a major CAMA permit to construct piers and docks and bulkheading on the southern, waterfront terminus of South Avenue, and to conduct associated dredging and dredge spoil disposal operations. . 8. In support of his CAMA permit application, Mr. Lacy Henry included quitclaim deeds purporting to show ownership of the southern terminus of.South Avenue. 9. Quitclaim deeds alone should never be accepted by DCM as proper evidence of property ownership for CAMA permitting purposes, or for any other purpose. 10. At the time Mr. Henry submitted his CAMA permit application, and at all subsequent times during which he submitted additional information or materials to DCM, Mr_ Henry had actual knowledge of the fact that the Town strongly disputed his claims to the southern terminus of South Avenue. Mr. Henry also knew that the Town had obtained two opinions from the Attorney General supporting the Town's ownership rights, and pier rights regarding the southern terminus of South Avenue. 11. Despite the fact that Mr. Henry had actual.knowledge of the Town's ownership rights, and the conclusions reached by the Attorney General supporting the Town's rights, he (Mr. Henry) failed to disclose to DCM the questionable nature of his ownership claims regarding the property on which he proposed to construct private piers, docks and bulkheading. 12. Mr. Henry also had actual knowledge that the Town had entered into a number of lease agreements—including one or more leases with him—allowing limited use as a tenant of the southern terminus of South Avenue. Such lease agreements further confirmed that the Town owns this property. 11 On March 6, 2003, the Town filed an action to clear title to the southern terminus of South Avenue. The complaint was verified by the Town's Manager. A copy is attached as Exhibit "D," the terms of which are incorporated by reference. 14. On March 6, 2003, the Town also caused a notice of lis pendens to be filed regarding the property on which Mr. Lacy Henry proposes to construct his piers, docks and bulkheads. 2 15. On or about March 20, 2003, the Town caused copies of its quiet title Complaint and Notice of Lis Pendens to be provided to DCM Director Donna Moffitt, DCM permits coordinator Doug Huggett, and to the Morehead City DCM Office. The cover letters documenting this fact collectively are attached as Exhibit "E," the terms of which are incorporated by reference. 16. Well before issuance of the CAMA permit at issue here, the Town caused several letters to be sent to DCM in which the Town formally opposed issuance of any CAMA permit to Mr. Lacy Henry due to the fact that Mr. Henry does not own the southern terminus of South Avenue. 17. The CAMA application forms filled out by Mr. Lacy Henry in support of his CAMA permit application specifically required Mr. Henry to document who owned the land at issue [Item 1(a), form DCM-MP-1], to provide DCM with a copy of the document or documents documenting title to and ownership of the property at issue, or permission from the owner thereof[Item 5, form DCM-MP-1], and to certify that he [Mr. Henry] is authorized to grant permission to DCM officials to enter the property at issue [Item 6, form DCM-MP-1]. Additionally, the instructions accompanying form DCM- MP-1 specifically requite the applicant to include in his or her application package "a copy of a deed or other proof of ownership for the project site and authorization from the property owner, if applicable." 18. The requirement that all CAMA permit applicants properly document title and ownership specifically is codified at 15A NCAC 710204(b)(4). Additional reference is made to the property ownership requirement in 15A NCAC 77.0203(b)(1). 19. The information and representations provided by Mr. Lacy Henry to DCM as described immediately above were incomplete and incorrect, and apparently resulted in DCM officials reaching incorrect conclusions regarding the fundamental issue of ownership or permission rights regarding the property on which the proposed development activity would occur. 20. Without proper documentation as to ownership of the property at issue, or permission from the actual property owner, Mr. Lacy Henry's CAMA permit application was incomplete as a matter of law, and Mr. Lacy Henry had no right to apply for and DCM had no right to issue any CAMA permits concerning such property. 21. Once DCM received bona fide documentation from the Town, a public municipality, regarding the Town's ownership of the southern terminus of South Avenue, DCM had a legal duty to inform Mr. Lacy Henry of the same, to declare Mr. Henry's CAMA permit application incomplete, and to place the application on indefinite hold unless and until the bona fide ownership issue was resolved. 22. . While DCM has no legal duty to itself resolve bona fide property ownership disputes, DCM does have a legal duty to declare CAMA permit applications incomplete and suspend further processing where the agency has received bona fide documentation and information that, at a minimum, calls into serious question the ownership or permission rights of the CAMA permit applicant. 23. In light of the information and documentation presented to DCM by the Town, DCM's failure to take such action with regard to Mr. Henry's CAMA permit application constituted arbitrary and capricious agency action, unlawful agency action, erroneous agency action, and agency action based on improper procedure. 24. DCM's claim that it should not get involved in "private property disputes" is untenable on the facts here. Once DCM received the specific, bona fide title and ownership documentation provided by the Town, including the formal filing of a quiet title action, DCM had a legal duty to suspend further processing of Mr. Henry's CAMA permit application unless and until Mr. Henry was able to document that the bona fide title dispute involving the Town had been resolved in his (Mr. Henry's) favor. DCM legal duties in this regard are required by, among other things, the express language of 15A NCAC 710204(b)(4). 25. - The Town, itself vested with substantial CAMA permitting authority under Chapter 113A of the General Statutes, does not raise its ownership claims lightly. The Town has a legal duty to preserve that which it owns for the benefit of its citizens. In fact, the Town has planned for many years to install a public pier and dock facility at the southern terminus of South Avenue. However, as of the present date, the Town has not been able to secure the funding necessary for this public water access project. 26. When a city, town, or county provides bona fide documents and information to DCM regarding the fundamental issue of property ownership relative to a CAMA permit application, DCM has an even greater obligation to take such information seriously and suspend further processing of such application pending resolution of the property ownership issue. DCM should recognize that when such claims are made by a local government, they have inherent credibility. Such claims by a local government also implicate the fundamental policy compromise underlying all of the CAMA permitting statutes—namely, the division of responsibilities carefully crafted by the General Assembly as a compromise between local governments and the State of North Carolina. 27. DCM also should recognize the right and obligation of the Town to preserve its public ownership of this waterfront property where public access to the State's navigable waters can be provided for all of the Town's citizens. 28. Regardless of whether competing ownership claims are made by private versus public entities, the holding of the North Carolina Court of Appeals in Flowers v. Blackbeard Sailing Club, 115 N.C. App. 349, 444 S.E.2d 636 (1994), disc. rev. denied as improvidently granted, 340 N.C. 357, 457 S.E.2d 599 (1995) confirms the relevance of riparian property ownership to CAMA permit issuance for construction of piers and docks. The Blackbeard Sailing Club case also confirms that DCM's actions in issuing CAMA permits authorizing the construction of piers, docks or bulkheads necessarily involve resolution by DCM of private (riparian) property rights. The Blackbeard Sailing 4 Club case further confirms that the failure by any potentially affected third party to contest issuance by DCM of such CAMA permits deprives that person (and all others) of any subsequent ability to challenge the permit holder's assertion of riparian rights as defined by the CAMA permit. 29. As the basic CAMA permit application forms, 15A NCAC 7J.0204(b)(4) and the holding in the Blackbeard Sailing Club case make clear, DCM cannot ignore bona fide riparian property title disputes during the CAMA permitting process by simply accepting permit applicants at their word in the face of substantial, bona fide competing ownership documentation submitted by a third party. Where, as here, the third parry is a local government that has resorted to the courts to protect its ownership of the very riparian property on which a CAMA permit applicant proposes to construct private piers, docks and bulkhead, DCM has a non-delegable legal duty to suspend further permit processing pending receipt from the permit applicant of documentation confirming-that the title dispute has been finally resolved in the permit applicant's favor. 30. The issuance by DCM of a CAMA permit authorizing construction of private structures on riparian property that DCM has been given good faith, bona fide notice that the permit applicant does not own (and, in this case, that in fact is owned by a local government entity) goes to the very core of the CAMA permitting process as set forth in NCGS 113A-100, et seq., as specified in the CAMA application materials, and as codified at 15A NCAC 710204(b)(4). If a CAMA permit applicant has no riparian property rights, he or she has no right to a CAN �A permit authorizing construction of various structures on riparian property and in and over public trust waters. 31. Based on the legal authorities and reasoning stated herein, the Town has satisfied the requirement set forth in NCGS.,113A-121.1(b)(1) regarding the fact that DCM's actions in processing and issuing the CAMA permit at issue here was contrary to statute and rule. Once DCM has received bona fide documentation that a CAMA permit applicant does not own the relevant property, then the permit applicant at that point cannot satisfy the specific requirements set forth in 15A NCAC 7J.0204(b)(4), and DCM has a legal duty to declare the application incomplete and suspend further processing unless and until the permit applicant documents to DCM's satisfaction that the property ownership dispute has been finally resolved in the permit applicant's favor. 32. The Town is directly affected by DCM's actions in issuing this CAMA permit in that the permit purports to authorize a person with no title interests to construct various private pier, dock and bulkhead structures on and outward from the Town's own riparian property—all without the Town's permission, and in the face of the Town's strongest possible objections. Thus the Town clearly satisfies the standing requirement contained in NCGS 113A-121.1(b)(2). 33. As already documented in two Attorney General opinion letters, and in over 100 years worth of recorded real estate documents and maps, the Town is very likely to prevail on its superior riparian property rights claims, and therefore on its claim that the CAMA permit at issue here is null and void on its face. 5 t 34. DCM's inclusion of a permit condition stating that Mr. Henry's CAMA permit somehow could, in the future, automatically become null and void should a court determine he does not have title does not excuse DCM from its legal duty to suspend permit processing where riparian property ownership is in bona fide dispute. DCM cannot avoid its legal duty to require permit applicants to resolve bona fide title disputes in order to comply with 15A NCAC 7J.0204(b)(4). 35. Under the literal wording of DCM's permit condition, the permit holder could move forward and construct his piers, docks and bulkhead, after which a North Carolina court then could rule that the permit holder had no valid interest in the riparian property on which such structures had been constructed. Regardless of whether the courts could then undo such damage, this is an outcome that DCM should not be allowed to make possible. If DCM really means it when it says it wants to stay out of"private" property ownership disputes, then DCM should never continue to process a CAMA permit application after the agency is made aware of the existence of a bona fide riparian property ownership dispute. Only then can DCM assure compliance with the terms of its own permit application forms and the express language of 15A NCAC 710204(b)(4). WHEREFORE, the Town respectfully requests that the CRC.Chair issue an order granting the.Town permission to file a petition for contested case hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings within 20 days of the date of issuance of the order.

Dear Mr. Hollowell, -,bt to You contacted our office recently to request an opinion concerning ownership of the rig i ier where the city of Oriental has a dedicated casement t6nninat rig at the Neuse River, construct a p a navigable wate,wa% We hope that this letter will answer your question. I. Introduction In North Carolina, courts recognize that there are various rights which attach to property on public waters. These right s include "[t]he right of access to the water ... [and t]he right to build a pier or wharf out to the navigable water ...... In re Protest of Mason, 78 N.C. App. 16, 25 (1985) (quoting from Lewis.,Eminent Domain § 83); sge also, Robert E. Beck, ed.,Water and Water Rights-.§ 6.01(a) (1991) (explaining that riparian rights consist of a bundle of rights, including the right of access and the right to build a wharf). With regard to the right to construct a pier, however, an interesting question arises when a public use. In this -or-p street leading to a navigable waterway is dedicated to a municipality f ' build a pier; or (2) the situation, there are tvm possible options: .(1�the dedicator retains the right to I bui town which has accepted the dedicatioA has that right. While there is no case law on this precise issue from North Carolina, the weight of authority provides that the town may construct a pier in order to exercise its right of access II. own -As a starting point, two leading authorities believe that the city, or town to which the road has been dedicated pOssesses the right to build a wharf or pier. First, one author states: :40 1 1 owe l 1 �Ho 1 1 owe 1 1 I D 919-745-5917 JUN 27 ' 95 12 : a'2 No .005 F .02 Mr. Ben Hollowell June 19, 1995 Page'2 When a way in a city extends to navigable waters, and is dedicated to the public use as a ication, the right of the city to extend it into the street, it carries with it, by necessary impl water by the construction of a wharf at the cnd thereof. John M. Gould, Treatise on the Law of Waters 201 (3d ed. 1900).' Similarly, another scholar has noted that: A public road laid out to a water way becomes a Public landing at its termination, and piers at the ends of such streets are mere extensions of the highway the title to which is vested in the public. Henry Philip Farnham,The Law of Waters and Water Rights 674 (1904).'' In support of these statements, Farnham and Gould relied on several nineteenth c:ntury cases. For example, in v v , 94 U.S. 324, 340 (1876), a fet owner argued that he had dedicated property to the city for a street only, not for a wharf. The United States Supreme Court began by stating its belief that the dedication of the street was at common law, and by agreeing with . the lower court that when they made the dedication the owners reserved title to the soil in the street. 1_at 336. The Court then noted that the title. of the grantor "was bare legal title, subject to the public easement and use,not only for street.purposes, but for the purposes of wharves, landings and et "must lie regarded as intended to.be used for the purposes of levees." Isi, at 339.40. Such a stre access to the river, and the usual accommodations of navigation in such a cotuiectiOn." Jai at 340. The Court quoted with approval the language,of the court below, the Iowa Supreme Caurt, which believed that to accept the landowner's argument would be to take "a very narrow and close vie1N'." Id� Additionally, in v v , 54 Md. 103•(1880), the Maryland Supreme Court determined that "the dedication of[a] street to the public use as a street extending to the water, carried with it by necessary implication, the right of the city to extend it into the harbor by the construction of a wharf at the end thereof. 1j at 112, The court "entertain[ed] no doubt of the right of the city to construct the wharf...." 11 Similarly, in Rack 15 v Ci�,v fo Detroit, 49 Mich. I io' 13 N.W. Rep. 380 (1882), the Michigan Supreme Court found that Detroit had a right to construct a wharf from a dedicated public way which led to a navigable river. Several modern cases lend additional support to the argument that the city to which a street easement is dedicated also has the right to construct a wharf For example, the Michigan Court of Appeals held that "[p]ubliciy dedicated streets that terminate at the edge of navigable waters are generally deemed to provide public access to the water." TarnhS V Lvon Townshitz, 502 N.W. 2d ' The North Carolina Supreme Court has relied'on Gould's Water Law text on several occasions, most recently in �redle, 322 N.C. 522, 534 (1988). 2. The North Carolina Supreme Court has cited this text with approval. �,e. e.a., o `' �;1 , 241 N.C. 618, 626 (1955). No`I 1 o we 1 1 ?Ho l 1 o we 1 1 I D :919-745-5917 JIJf 12-7 ' 95 12 :43 No .005 P .03 Mr. Ben Hollowell June l9, 1995 Page 3 382 (Mich. App- 1993), appeal denied, 512 N.W. 2d 834 (1994). The court grounded this decision in its belief that a street terminating at the edge of a navigable waterway carried a "presumption that the platter intended to give access to,the water and permit the building of structures to aid in that access." LdL' In another Michigmi case, 1hieS��' , 380 N.W. 2d 463 (Mich. 1985), the Michigan Supreme Court considered whether a city had the right to construct a wharf at the end of by an easement. The court found that the city could not do so because the eas to onstructta�vhar° express grant which had very specific provisions and did not include the right However, the court noted that: Public ways which terminate at the edge of navigable waters are generally deemed to provide public access to the water. A city, on behalf of its citizens, is entitled to build wharves-at the end of such streets to aid the public's access. IL at 470 (citations omitted). The court further noted that the right to build a wharf in such a situation does not depend on whether the public owns the fee in the way. Id Similarly, the Minnesota Supreme Court decided that a town could erect a dock where a road terminated at a navigable river. v s 1, 102 N.W. 2d 284 (Minn. 1960). The road had been established by common law dedication of an easement. LL at 292. In support of its holding, that court quoted from a Pennsylvania case as follows: Where one road commences or terminates at another road, it is intended to furnish a passage from and to that other-, and the same rule applies to a road terminating at a navigable river. This road, terminating at such a river, is intended as a means of:public communication between the river and the country adjoining. L, at 290 (quoting 1,91liet v Commonwealth, 17 Pa. 509, 513). Finally, at least one Florida court has found that the owner of an easement which reached a navigable waterway had the right to construct a dock. Tan=v. Jones, 619 So. 2d 387 (Fla. App. 5 Dist. 1993) (en bane). The court noted that"[i]nsofar as riparian rights are necessary to 2r ' the purposes of the easement,they are impliedly granted to appellees and, as a corollary, reserved from the.appellant fee owners." Ld, at 388 (citations omitted) (emphasis added). However, in order to show that the dock was necessary for or consistent with enjoyment of the easement, the Florida court found it relevatit that neighboring landowners had docks. Ld. at 388. In this case, it is worth noting that the court did place a limit on the scope of the dedication. Specifically, the court permitted the construction of a dock for boating, swimming and fishing, but not for sunbathing,lounging or picnicking. The court based this limitation on its belief that there was no evidence that sunbathing, lounging and picnicking was in the scope of the dedication.

Essentially, the dedication of a road which leads to the bank of a navigable waterway carries with it by necessary implication" the right to construct a wharf. Stated differently, the public way which ends at a navigable waterway carries a presumption that the town may construct a means of access to the water. This presumption can be overcome only if there is a specific grant of the dedication which clearly does not include the right of access to the water, as was found in Thies. III. north Carolina Law While other jurisdictions seem to be unanimous in their view that the recipient of the dedication may wharf out, no North Carolina court has addressed the question.' However, applying our case law on dedication and easements, it is likely.that North Carolina courts would find-that the city has the right to construct a pier. Initially, an easement by dedication is subject to the same rules of law that apply to easements in general. ee, Patrick Hetrick, Webster's Real Estate 'Latin in North Carolina 616 (4th ed. 1994); shear v S v �a Bu'}ding , 107 N.C. App. 154 (1992) (applying general easement rules to a controversy involving an implied dedication). Applying rules concerning the scope of easements, a North Carolina court would find that the town may construct a wharf. In ShinglZon v. North CarQlina Wildlife RAcn„rcO Commj4sq_=, z60 N.C. 451 (1963), the North Carolina Supreme Court considered the scope of an easement for ingress and egress. In that case, the court stated that when deciding the scope of an casement "consideration must be given to the purposes for which the easement was granted. The owners of the servient estate may make any use of their property and road not inconsistent with the reasonable use and enjoyment of the easement granted." U at 457 (citations omitted); =ZIM Kelter v Cochran, 108 N.C. App, 783, 784 (1993) ("In North Carolina, it is an established principle that the possessor of an easement has all the rights that are necessary to the reasonable and proper enjoyment of that easement"); Hetrick, a$,-at 634 (if there is no express guidance as to the scope of an easement, a reasonable use is implied). Additionally, the court noted that the reasonable use and enjoyment of an easement is to be determined "in light of the situaiion of the property and the surrounding circumstances." Shins__leton, 260 N.C. at 457. Following the reasoning in 5hinZJ=, the court would find that the purpose of the dedicationin Oriental could only be to provide access to the waterway. Therefore,the construction ' One North Carolina Court of Appeals case reversed a lower court's finding that a pier at the end of a street was an extension of an easement. Wo dlie vy ohnson, 75 N.C. App. 49, 56 (1985). However, the court's reversal turned on its view that original jurisdiction for the decision lay with the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community,Development. Therefore, the plaintiffs had failed to exhaust their administrative remedies and the case was not properly before ;�.c coLr`. �. ti a I �+o I l o we I 1 ?Ho l l owe l l I D :919-7 45-5917 JUN 27 ' 95 12 :45 No .005 P .05 Mr. lien Hollowell June 19, 1995 Page 5 of a dock is "not inconsistent with the reasonable use and enjoyrllent of the acce.stoea:scmnttll bankof the Shinglclou, 260 N.C. at 457.. It would make little sense to grant the publi water without granting access to the water itself. Finally, the North Carolina Supreme Court has stated(that the right of ac es h o navigable aYs on. ' waters is a property right, "analogous ...to an abutting owner s rtght of access to g v , 235 N.C. 431, 445 (1952). The Minnesota Supreme Court eyed trrninz ed same analogy to justify its conclusion that a town could build a dock where a road t a v 102 N.W. 2d at 290, discussed supra. Therefore, a North Carolina navigable waterway.

Box 629 Raleigh, NC 27602-0629 Re: Town of Oriental - Town Streets Dear Mr. Easley: I reprasent the Town of Oriental and we need an opinion in connection with an issue that seems to frequently arise. The _. Town has several streets that according to the old Town maps end at the water' s edge. The problem is that in almost every instance the last 100 to 200 feet (that portion which adjoins the water) has apparently never been paved, or maintained by the Town. Attached is a copy of .the 1939 Town map, and four examples are Wall Street, King Street, Neuse Street (all end at Neuse . River) and South Avenue, which western terminus is Raccoon Creek. Currently, the Town. is involved in a ,dispute involving the western end of South Avenue. All of South Avenue, except the western 100 feet (approximately) is paved and maintained' by the Town. The street ends at the Town harbor. Mr. Lacy M. Henry ' owned the lot on the south side of this portion of the street and —� leased it from the Town for many years. This lot was eventually acquired by Mr. Henry' s son, Lacy M. Henry. Mr. Henry, the son,, apparently tracked down the heir of the original -developer and secured a quitclaim deed for the portion of the unopened street which adjoins his lot,. In addition, 'he had the heir execute a Declaration of Withdrawal pursuant to N.C.G.S . 136-96, copies of the deed and declaration are attached. Prior to the filing of the Declaration, the Town had discussed this matter on several occasions with Mr. David Lawrence of the Institute, and he indicated that there was ample Howell&Hollowell ID :919-745-5917 DEC 07 ' 95 13 : 10 No .002 P .03 Michael F. Easley December 6, 1995 Page -2- v authority holding that acceptance of the declaration of a portion of a - street was acceptance of the entire street. . After I received the declaration, I called Mr. Lawrence and lie indicated that N.C.G.S. 136--96 could present a problem for the Town. Consequently, the Town desires an opinion. from your of-fice addressing the following questions: 1. Does the Town' s acceptance of the dedication of the major portion of South Avenue take precedent of. the withdrawal? 2. What right does the Town have in these other areas, in which the dedication has not been withdrawn? As you know, public access to public waters is becoming an important issue, and the -Town *desires to start utilizing these areas, if possible, as public access .

Box 218 Bayboro,N.C. 28515 Re: Town of Oriental - Status of portions of certain strccts Dear Mr. Hollowell: This is in response to your letter of December 6, 1995, in which you inquired as to the rights of the Town in non-maintained parts of certain streets in'the Town of Oriental. You specifically inquired about the status of the last 100-200'section of streets in Oriental which are not maintained and which are shown on the old maps as going to the water edge. The streets have been maintained by the Town,except that the last 100-200'portions leading to the water apparently have never been paved nor maintained by the Town. You cite Wall Street, King Strcct, Neuse Street and South Avenue as illustrations. You expressed the desire of the Town to provide public access to public water on these streets. A Declaration of Withdrawal was filed under G.S. § 136-96 in 1995 covering a part of the 100-200'utunaintained portion of South Avenue, and your inquired as to the rights of the Town in the portion of the street included in the Declaration of Withdrawal. The following cases and principals of law appear to be applicable to the facts and questions presented. I. Where a municipality opens,improves and maintains a street dedicated to the public by the registration of a map or plat, there,is an acceptance of dedication of the street by the municipality. After the dedication of a street has become completed by the acceptance by a municipality, and the street is open and maintained and used by the public, thr,right to revoke the dedication is gone.

The North Carolina Court of Appeals summarised and applierd the applicable law in the recent case of Tower Dcyelopm nt Partners v. Zell, 120 N.C. App. 136 (1995) as follows: "Plaintiff contends Durham has only accepted the completed portion of Tower Boulevard, but not the planned completion, Plaintiff in effect argues the dedication of this portion of Tower Boulevard has been withdrawn. The dedication of a street, however, may not be withdrawn if the dedication has been accepted and the street, or any part of it, is actually opened and used by the public. Food "Town Stores'v. City of Salisbury, 300 N.C. 21, 29, 265 S.E.2d 123, 129 (1980). Since part of Tower Boulevard has been opened and used by the public since 1988, we find the dedication of the remainder of. Tower Boulevard to be operative,"@ p. 142. The facts do not disclose whether or not sales were made with reference to plats showing the dedication status, nor the dates on which the Town of Oriental took over maintenance of the various streets. These streets are all currently on the municipal street sysiem. 1t is assumed that conveyances were made with reference to the maps or plats showing the streets and it is also, assumed that the Town accepted the dedication of the streets in question by opening or maintaining the streets prior to 1995. Based upon the foregoing assumptions and the information provided, and applying the law in the cited cases, it is the opinion of this office that the non-maintained portions of the streets named as illustrations have been accepted for dedication at the time the remaining portion of each was accepted,and could not be withdrawn from dedication under G.S..§ 136-96. The Declaration of Withdrawal file under G.S. 136.96 had no effect as against the Town,since there had been an active use by the public and maintenance by the town even though each as the streets had not been opened to the fullest extent. The unpaved portion of the streets are still public streets even though not presently maintained by the Town. It is noted that the non-maintained portions of Wall,King &Neusc Streets referred to, do in fact still appear on current planning maps going to the water edge. The non-maintained.portion of South Avenue is no longer shown on the current map after the turn into.R Street (as shown on the 1939 Map). However,no facts were indicated in the letter or documents, showing that the Town has taken any action that would lead to a different conclusion as to South Avenue. The quitclaim deed had no affect as to the Town of Oriental under G.S. § 1-45,The quitclaim deed could not revoke the accepted dedication by the Town of Oriental.Blowing Rock v. rreaorv, 243 N.C. 364 (1955) @ p. 372; Steadman v, Pinctoos, 251 N.C. 509 (1960).

On March 4, 2003, the Town unanimously adopted a resolution directing the Town Manager to acquire materials and to commence surfacing South Avenue, from its intersection with Avenue.A westwardly to Raccoon Creek, to facilitate the public's access to Raccoon Creek. D. Facts Relating to Defendant Lacy Henry's and Garland Fulcher's Attempted Acquisition of the Terminus of South Avenue 27. On April 4, 1995, Defendant Lacy Henry caused to be .filed in Book 304 at Page 93 of the Pamlico County'Registry a quitclaim deed from Ann Wadley Wing for the real property constituting the terminus of South Avenue, and a portion of the intersection of South Avenue and Avenue A ("Tract A"). Said deed recites that "the Oriental Bulkhead and Improvement .Company caused the plat of said properties.to be placed upon the public records of Pamlico County wherein said land was divided into lots and streets, said plat being recorded in Plat Cabinet 1, Slide 2, at Page 19,of the Pamlico County Registry." 28. On April 4, 1995, Garland Fulcher caused to be filed in Book 304 at Page 98 of the Pamlico County Registry a quitclaim deed from Ann Wadley Wing for the real property constituting a portion of the intersection of South Avenue and Avenue A ("Tract. B"). Said deed recites that "the Oriental Bulkhead and Improvement Company caused the plat of said properties to be placed upon.the public records of Pamlico County wherein said land was divided into lots and 'ARD AM DAVIS,w A7TORNEYs AT LAW Town of Oriental Y.Henry and Styron Po DRAWER 1428 Page 4 of 7 i NEW BERN.NC 28563 9 streets, said plat being recorded in Plat Cabinet 1, Slide 2, at Page 19, of the Pamlico County Registry." 29. On May, 11, 1995, Garland F. Fulcher and Gracie L. Fulcher transferred their interest in Tract B described above to Defendants E. Sherrill Styron and wife, Phyllis H. Styron as evidenced by deed recorded in Book 304 at Page 936, in the Pamlico County Registry. 30. On July 24, 1995, over three months after quitclaiming all of her interest in the above-described Tracts A and B to Defendants, Ann Wadley Wing caused to be recorded in the Pamlico County Registry at Book 306 at Page 431, a Declaration of Withdrawal pursuant to N.C.G.S. 136-96. Said Declaration of Withdrawal purports to withdraw from dedication for public or private use Tracts A and.B described above. M. Cause of Action—Action to Clear Title 31. The facts described herein establish that the entire length of South Avenue, including the terminus at Raccoon Creek, was a dedicated public street prior to 1911,.and therefore, was not dedicated to public use by the Oriental.Bulkhead and Improvement Company. 32. Since the Oriental Bulkhead and Improvement Company was not the developer or dedicator of the terminus ''of South Avenue, the Defendant's actions to close the terminus of South Avenue Have no effect. Therefore, title to said property is vested in the Town of Oriental. 33. In the alternative, should the Court find that the Oriental Bulkhead and Improvement Company was the developer or dedicator of the terminus of South Avenue, the Town of Oriental accepted the full length of South Avenue as evidenced by the facts set out herein, and therefore, the Defendant's actions to close the terminus of South Avenue have no effect. 34. In the alternative, should the Court find that the Oriental Bulkhead and Improvement Company was the'developer or dedicator of the terminus of South Avenue, the actions taken by the Defendants and Ann Wadley Wing do not comply with the provisions .of N.C.G.S. 136-96, and.therefore the terminus of South Avenue has not been withdrawn from dedication for public or private use.

Given the facts set.out above, the Defendants are estopped under the theories of estoppel and quasi-estoppel from withdrawing. from dedication for public or private use the terminus of South Avenue. WHEREFORE, PLAINTIFF RESPECTFULLY PRAYS UNTO THE COURT AS FOLLOWS: 1. That the Court establish that the terminus of South Avenue in the Town of Oriental is a public street, and that the same is not subject to withdrawal from dedication for public or private use under N.C.G.S. 136-96, or any other law of the State of North Carolina. 2.

Bland RALEIGH U. S. Army Corps of Engineers _ Washington Regulatory Field Office P. O. Box 1000 Washington,North Carolina 27889-1000 Subject: ID No. 200310338, Lacy Henry,Raccoon Creek, Town of Oriental,Pamlico County,NC Dear Mr. Bland: This letter provides comments of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service on the Public Notice (PN) for the subject project. Mr. Lacy Henry, the applicant, has submitted an application for processing under the Coastal Area Management Act(CAMA)-Corps permit processing agreement for construction of an 8-slip commercial docking facility,installation of 147 linear feet of bulkhead, and dredging in Raccoon Creek, a tributary of the Neuse River. These comments are submitted in accordance with the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d) and section 7 of the Endangered Species Act(ESA) of 1973,'as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543). They are to be used in your determination of compliance with 404(b)(1) guidelines (40 CFR 230) and in your public interest.review(33 CFR 326.4) as they relate to protection of fish and wildlife resources. The applicant owns a 0.23-acre parcel on the eastern shore of Raccoon Creek, a tributary of the Neuse River, in the Town of Oriental. Uplands on the site have various grasses with trees that include pines, oaks, and sweetgum. The creek bottom'at the'site is.sandy and unvegetated. The waterward margin of the proposed docking facility.is &7 feet,below normal water level (NWL). The shoreline is currently bulkheaded. The proposed bulkhead would have a maximum waterward extension of 11 feet,but would be above the NWL at other points for an average of no overall waterward extension. Dredging for the docking facility would remove 2,100 cubic yards of material from an area of 24,700 ftz (0.56 acre). Dredging would create a uniform depth of-6'feet at the NWL. Construction would employ a clamshell dredge and barge-based pile driver. The bullheaded site would be graded and landscaped to create an improved riparian buffer and establish diffuse stormwater flow to Raccoon Creek. The project would convert approximately one-half acre of shallow, estuarine bottoms to deeper waters. Approximately 300 f z of shallow water would be lost due to backfill for bulkhead construction. The dock and finger piers would usurp 16,800 ftZ of creek bottom, of which 1,956 f 2 would be shaded. The Service is concerned that the project would create short-term increases in turbidity and result in some siltation of the surrounding area. We are also concerned that shallow estuarine bottoms would be permanently converted to deeper areas that may be less productive. However, these aspects of this relatively small scale project are likely to have only minor adverse impacts on fish and wildlife resources under our jurisdiction. To minimize any adverse turbidity and sedimentation any barges used to hold and move dredged material should not be overfilled. The Service has reviewed available'information on federally threatened or endangered species known to occur in Pamlico County. We have also reviewed information from the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program(NCNHP) database on the reported occurrence of these species in the County. The only federally listed species likely to occur near the project area is the West Indian manatee(Trichechus manatus). The NCNHP database shows that a manatee has been reported in the Neuse River southeast of Oriental. Manatees are seasonal transients in North Carolina,primarily from June through October. The species uses freshwater,brackish; or marine habitats such as shallow coastal waters,bays, lagoons, estuaries,rivers, and inland lakes. The primary habitat requirements for the species are access to vascular aquatic plants, freshwater sources, and proximity to channels at least 1-2 meters deep.(3.3 -6.6 feet). Manatees are commonly found in water three to seven feet deep, similar to the area to be dredged. Manatees spend much of their time underwater or partly submerged, and this behavior often makes the species difficult to detect. These mobile animals may not inhabit a given area for extended periods, and manatees,may move into a project site where the species has not been previously reported. Therefore, the areas that may contain manatees cannot be determined by visual surveys that are satisfactory for less mobile, year-round species. The clamshell dredge and barge-based pile driver to be used would pose a risk to.a manatee at the project site. Lowering the clamshell bucket and a barge moving in shallow water could strike a manatee. To address the issue of construction activities in water that could be used by the manatee,the Service developed guidelines, entitled, "Precautions for General Construction in Areas Which May Be Used by the West Indian Manatee in North Carolina," for activities that do not include the use of explosives. A copy of these guidelines (updated in June 2002) is enclosed. The conditions that apply year round simply involve: (1) informing construction personnel that manatee could be in the work area; (2)watching for manatees during work; (3) stopping construction if a manatee comes within 100 feet of active dredging and waiting until the manatee leaves the area before resuming work; and, (4)'procedures for reporting the death or injury of a manatee. Two conditions that would only apply'during the period of June 1 through October.31, involve: (1)traveling at low speeds when vessels move through an area where less than four feet would exist between the vessel hull and the channel bottom; and, (2) the placement and inspection P of silt barriers in shallow water. Implementation of these guidelines should produce little, if any, . additional expense. We do believe that precautions are warranted for the manatee. The best protection for.the manatee would be a permit condition to require that all work be conducted during the seven- month period from November 1 to May 31. This provides adequate time to move the 2,100 cubic yards of material and would require only the most general conditions provided in our guidelines. Work could be conducted during the June 1 through October 31 period with the inclusion of the two more specific conditions. With the inclusion of these guidelines or seasonal work restrictions,we believe that the Corps' requirements under section 7(a)(2) of the ESA would be satisfied. We remind you that obligations under section 7 consultation must be reconsidered if: (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered; (2)this action is subsequently modified in a manner that was.not considered in this review; or, (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the identified action. The project also.provides an opportunity to enhance and protect a riparian buffer that would benefit water quality in the Neuse River and Pamlico Sound. The applicant proposes to improve the riparian area and we recommend that native trees and shrubs be planted to establish at least the Zone 1 (30 feet)Neuse River Buffer and preferably the additional Zone 2 (20 feet)buffer. Any buffer would remove nitrogen;phosphorus, and pollutants from rainwater flowing into Raccoon Creek and subsequently into the Neuse River and Pamlico Sound. With due consideration of these issues by the applicant and the Corps, the Service does not oppose a permit for this project. The Service appreciates the opportunity to comment on this permit application. Please advise us of any action taken by the Wilmington Corps District. If you . have questions regarding these comments,please contact Howard Hall at 919-856-4520 (Ext. 27) or by e-mail at <howard ha11Rfws.gov>. Sincerely, c� Garland B.

Although processing of the application is nearing completion, additional time is needed for this office to complete the review and make a decision on your request. Therefore, it is necessary that the standard review time be extended. An additional 75 days is provided by G.S. 113A- 122(c) which would make May 16, 2003 the new deadline for reaching a decision on your request. However, we expect to.take action prior to that time and will do so as soon as possible. In the interim, if you have any question on the status of your application, do not'hesitate to contact this office. Very sincerely, Jeff Schaffer - Asst.

The NCDMF has two concerns with the proposed project. 1. During the review process of the Oriental Harbor Village Center& Marina in 2001 the project EA showed elevated concentrations of copper, chromium, lead,mercury,nickel; standard, zinc, arsenic,and cadmium in sediment samples taken from the federal channel in Raccoon Creek. While no data is currently available for the proposed dredge site the NCDMF is concerned that the proposed dredging will include some of the elevated sediment. If so, dredging will re-suspend these toxins. The NCDMF request that a turbidity curtain be used during the dredging process. 2. As proposed the dredge spoil will be used as back-fill for the bulkheads. Will this material be dewatered prior to backfilling? If so where will the dewatering effluent pipe from the spoil area be discharged? If the spoil is not dewatered than a turbidity curtain should be placed around the bulkhead portion of the project to retain any released toxins. If dewatering is to occur the NCDMF would like to see that addressed in the,permit. If these concerns are addressed then the NCDMF would not be opposed to the project.

Henry, seeking authorization to construct an 8-slip docking facility and a bulkhead as well as conduct excavation in Raccoon Creek on property located in the Town of Oriental, Pamlico County. As you may be aware, the Division of Coastal Management is coordinating a multi-agency state and federal review of the proposal. I can assure you that your comments will be examined and taken into consideration prior to the Division taking final action on this permit application, and you will be informed of this final action. The Division appreciates you taking the time to comment on this application and for the information you provided, and your letter will be added to the official permit application file for this project. I would appreciate it if you would keep me updated on the actions the Town is taking, and I will keep you informed of any future actions the Division may take on this matter. Please feel free to contact me at (919) 733-2293, extension 240, or email me at Jeff.Schaffer@ncmail.net,if you should have any additional concerns relating to this project.

The applicant proposes to construct an 8-slip docking facility for lease or rent,install 147 linear feet of bulkhead and conduct excavation in Raccoon Creek. Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC's) impacted by the proposal are Estuarine Waters, Coastal Shorelines and Public Trust Areas. Waters at the project site are classified as SC HQW NSW and are not open to the harvesting of shellfish. The area is not a Primary Nursery Area. I have reviewed this proposal for consistency with the 1994 Town of Oriental Land Use Plan Update and offer the following comments. The general area of the project is classified as Developed, while the AECs impacted by the work are classified as Conservation. In general, the Town of Oriental allows development in Conservation classified AECs which is consistent with the State's minimum use standards. The Town of Oriental Land Use Plan contains some local policies which exceed 7H guidelines including those for upland excavation for marina basins. According to policy 8A.2j [Marina and Floating Homes] of the Town of Oriental Land Use Plan, all docks in the Town Harbor(Raccoon Creek)that provide business services to any recreational or work boat (fishing boats, shrimp trawlers, crab boats, etc) will be required to provide pumpout facilities or have' shore public toilet facilities. It does not appear from the CAMA permit application that pumpout facilities,or shore public toilet facilities are included in this project. Provided that pumpout facilities or shore public toilet facilities are included in this project as referenced in the above policy, and that all other local, state and federal requirements can be met, this project appears to be consistent with the 1994 Town of Oriental Land Use Plan Update.

Henry—Application for CAMA Major Development Permit Dear Ms. Wheeler: I am the Town Attorney for the Town of Oriental. This letter is in response Mr. Lacy M. Henry's application for a CAMA Major Development Permit to construct a bulkhead and 8-slip docking facility at the foot of South Avenue in Oriental, North Carolina. The Town of Oriental strongly objects to the issuance of any permit to Mr. Henry for the development of the real property located at the terminus of South Avenue. Mr. Henry claims to own this small parcel as evidenced by the quitclaim deed submitted as, part of his application. The quitclaim deed purports to transfer ownership of a Town street, all as reflected on the survey attached to the quitclaim deed. The Town has directed me to prepare a lawsuit to establish title to this parcel, which.I have done. At the Town's regular meeting on March 4, 2003, I expect the Town to direct me to file the lawsuit against Mr. Henry. For this reason, I ask that your office extend the time to review Mr. Henry's application by an additional 75 days. This will allow the Town of Oriental to file its lawsuit and forward a copy of the same to your office for review. Kindest regards.

To reiterate,we spoke about policies A.2i, and A.2j of section 8,Marino and floating homes, found on page VIII-12 of the '94 CLUP. Policy A.2i states that "marinas having eleven or more slips shall provide publicly available holding tank pump out facilities or have shore public facilities." We surmised that the eleven slip minimum was probably intended to reflect the Division of Coastal Management's (DCM) definition of a marina,which includes any facility designed to accommodate over ten vessels. The proposed docks of this project are designed to accommodate only eight vessels, and as such, should not be subject to this.rule. Policy A.2j states that "all docks in the Town harbor (Racoon Creels) that provide business services to any recreational or work boat (fishing boats, shrimp trawlers,crab boats, etc.) will be required to provide pumpout facilities or have shore public toilet , facilities." We discussed the DCM contention that the proposed docks may be subject to this standard owing to the phrase "business services." Because the '94 CLUP does not define business services, DCM is uncertain if offering privately owned slips for rent or providing water and electrical connections for those slips constitutes a business service as intended by this policy. During our discussion you commented that there are other.privately owned docks in Oriental similar to those proposed by this project that do not have pumpout facilities, and that in your opinion this project should not require pumpout facilities.

Mrs. Wheeler informed us that you provided a written response to the public notice of this project, and suggested we ask you to send a second letter to her regarding your opinion of the pumpout facility requirement. We therefore request that you, on behalf of the Town of Oriental, send a second letter to Mrs.Wheeler clarifying the business services pumpout facility requirement of policy A.2j, so that DCM may better understand how to apply the policy to this or any other future project.

The following items need to be addressed before the application can be accepted as complete. Overall The permit fee for commercial construction as proposed is $400. I am enclosing a copy of our permit fee schedule for your use. The original signed green cards from the certified mail packages sent to adjacent riparian property owners must be submitted prior to permit issuance. The Town of Oriental Land Use Plan Update requires pumpout facilities or public toilet facilities for all docks in the Town Harbor (Raccoon Creek) that provide business services to any recreational or work boat. Your narrative mentions that this site was the location of a boatyard. Can you provide more background information, like how long ago the site was used as a boatyard.

As proposed,this road will be part of the dock construction, The Town disagrees with this position and will be filing a lawsuit claiming South Avenue extends to the water's edge of Raccoon Creek. With historical data and the fact that this is a public access issue vs. private ownership,the Town feels confident that it will prevail. The Town request that a permit not be issued at this time.
