Dear Mr. Miles:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below to
reconfigure the mooring areas for barges off Radio Island (southern site) and construct a
fleeting area off Marsh Island (northern site), as described in your CAMA application dated
September 4, 2013 and received by the Division of Water Resources (DWR) in the Wilmington
Regional Office (WiRO) on September 6, 2013. After reviewing your application, we have
decided that the impacts are covered by General Water Resources Certification Number 3900
(GC 3900). This Certification allows you to use the 404 permit when issued by the US Army
Corps of Engineers and the CAMA Major Permit when issued by the Division of Coastal
Management. In addition, you should obtain or otherwise comply with any other required
federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited
to) Erosion and Sediment Control, Non - discharge, and stormwater regulations. Also, this
approval to proceed with your proposed impacts or to conduct impacts to waters as depicted
in your application shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA Permit.
This approval is for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you
change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application.
If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this General Certification and
approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total fills for this
project (now or in the future) exceed one acre of wetland or 150 linear feet of stream,
compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h). This
approval requires you to follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions listed on the following pages.
