Subject: RE: Review of proposed shellfish water column for Michael Boyd - Pender county
Michael,
Good morning. After review of the proposed lease, this area of Topsail Sound is designated as SA-HQW, and after review
of current aerial photography, this area for the proposed lease appears to be shallow bottom and potential SAV
habitat. The application received did not include an SAV or Shellfish survey by the NCDMF.
If the US Army Corps of Engineers issues NW 48 for this proposal, this will require written approval under our General
Certification No. 4091 http://edocs.deg.nc.gov/WaterResources/0/doc/493433/Page1.aspx . The application fee will be
$240 once the lease is approved and prior to issuance of the 401 approval letter. Please have the applicant include the
DWR project # 20171108 on the check since they will be received separate from this application.
Thanks and feel free to let me know if you have any questions,

Proposed Shellfish Lease Review — Michael Boyd
Good afternoon,
The Division of Marine Fisheries has received an application from Michael Boyd, of Hampstead, for a 1.0 -acre
Water Column (BL 1843986) in Topsail Sound -Surf City Inlet, Pender County, for the purpose of utilization for
shellfish aquaculture. As a reminder, lease investigations are not performed on Water Columns for a lease that
is in existence. Attached are the following documents to assist with the review: review questions, original
application and maps.
To more fully evaluate other factors which may affect the possible issuance of this lease, it is requested that
Marine Patrol, Fisheries Management and Shellfish Sanitation complete the attached review form. As
previously agreed to earlier this year, this application and site information also serves as the joint application
to the US Army Corp of Engineers Nationwide Permit 48. Division sections; please return forms and comments
via email to [e-mail] by Sept 13th. North Carolina General Statute 113-202 requires
comments to be evaluated by the DMF director and if approved to post two legal notices and hold a public
hearing during at the end of a 30 -day public comment period. We appreciate your prompt review of this
proposed shellfish lease.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration in this matter. If you have any questions, please feel
free to contact Mike Graven at [phone] or [e-mail].
