Dear Mrs. Roberson:
NORTH CAROLINA
Environmental Quality
24 October 2024
This letter of refinement is in reference to your 16 September 2024 correspondence
requesting a modification of Major CAMA Permit No. #26-20. The original permit was issued on 24
February 2020. CAMA Major Permit No. #26-20 was issued to the City of Washington on 24
February 2020 for the replacement of an 860' pedestrian boardwalk and 4 finger piers to
serve as permanent docks.
Your request to construct Phase III of the pedestrian boardwalk two foot landward of
the originally permitted alignment as shown in your updated plat received on 16 September
2024 is hereby authorized. Please note that this refinement is for Phase III only and does not
allow for any additional upland disturbance. All permit conditions still apply and remain
unchanged. Your modified plat attached to your 16 September 2024 correspondence will
become a permanent part of the file.
Thank you for your time and cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions
about this or related matters, please don't hesitate to contact me in the Washington Regional
Office.
Sinlcce ely,
Si

TIPS FOR ADJACENT RIPARIAN OWNER NOTIFICATION & WAIVER FORMS
CAMA Regulations require notice of proposed development to the Adjacent Riparian Property Owners (15A
NCAC 7J.0204(b)(5)). Proof of actual notice (a sign -off by the owner on this form) or certified mail return
receipts (showing delivery of notice) are needed.
The purpose of this notice is to make adjacent riparian property owners aware of the proposed development
so that they have an opportunity to provide comments (or potentially object to) the proposed development,
and to give DCM an opportunity to consider these comments/objections before a permit decision is made.
"Permission" of adjacent oropegy owners is not necessarily required for DCM to issue a permit; however,
permission must be obtained for certain types of proposed developments if they fall within a 15'setback area
along the riparian access area of the adjacent property, as determined solely by DCM. It is in the applicant's
best interest to provide comprehensive and accurate notice so that any concerns or objections can be
resolved early in the permit review process. In addition, if the adjacent riparian property owner appeals the
permit decision, insufficient notice could be a basis for granting such an appeal.
Who is an Adjacent Riparian Property Owner?
What is Adjacent? (Note DCM reads this broadly to ensure comment by potentially impacted neiohbors)
• A property that shares a boundary line with the site of proposed development; AND
• A property that fronts a natural or manmade waterbody that is connected to coastal waters and
can support some form of navigation, even a kayak or canoe, including a common canal system
or a manmade basin.
• Easement holders? Yes, if the easement could be impacted by the proposed development.
Streets/Roads? Only if the street/road could be impacted by the proposed development. This
might include street -ends which might be used for parking and beach access.
Holders of recognized submerged lands claims/shellfish franchises.
What is Riparian?
Do the boundaries of the adjacent property legally intersect with the water at mean high tide? If there is a
question about whether an adjacent property is considered 'riparian," please reach out to DCM Staff -
especially on the oceanfront beach where there may be undeveloped parcels on the beach or in the water.
WhofWhat is a Property Owner?
For private individuals (or families), send notice to the address listed on the tax card. If the property is owned
by an Inc. or LLC, please send notice to the person listed as the registered agent on the NC Secretary of
State's Corporations Look Up site: tIttsahnv sesnc.gov/searehtin iewca g. For Condominiums or
neighborhoods with an owners' association (HOA/POA), send notice to the association (which is usually a
corporation, for which you send notice to its registered agent).
What is Notice, and how do I ensure it is received?
• You can meet with your adjacent property owner, provide a description or drawing of the
proposed development, and ask them to sign this form and return it to DCM; OR
• You can hand -deliver this form and a description or drawing, and ask your neighbor to return it to
DCM (consider providing them with a stamped envelope); OR
• You can mail this form by USPS Certified Mail, return receipt requested (the Green Card). If you
choose this option, you must provide either the signed & returned green card OR track the
certified mail package number on USPS.GOV's online tracking system, and provide the tracking
print-out as proof of delivery to DCM
If you have any questions about this process, please reach out to DCM Staff and DCM Legal Counsel
and we will work to answer your questions.

We request to modify the layout and width of the boardwalk structure. Please see the attached drawing, which
indicated the existing and new proposed design.
Phase I simply straightened out some of the turns and increased the width to 8 feet. The increased width helps
individuals to socially distance and allow more room for anyone that may have a mobility device. Phase If moved the
structure 2 feet inside of the existing boardwalk. The location change assisted with relocating the utilities, not
requiring any of them to be set into the water.
Phase III will complete the reconstruction for the Washington Waterfront Boardwalk. Phase 111 will
follow the same path as Phase 11 until the first bend is reached. The remainder of the boardwalk will
then follow the existing location.
