Dear Mr. Mobley:
The Washington Regional Office received your application for a CAMA Major Permit from the Division of Coastal Management on
June 4, 2009. The impacts proposed are for constructing a pedestrian walkway with fishing platforms under the NC 32 bridge, with
proposed shading impacts of 0.051 acres of open waters, 0.008 acres of wetlands, 461 square feet of Zone I of the protected riparian
buffer as described in your application. This letter shall also act as your approved Authorization Certificate for impacts to the
protected riparian buffers per 15A NCAC 2B .0259. Please be advised that this certification does not authorize any dredge for the
subject project and is to be constructed as described in your application. This Certification can also be found on line at:
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/certs.html. You are authorized to proceed with your project as proposed under General Water
Quality Certification (WQC) #3641 (enclosed). This Certification allows you to use the CAMA Major Permit when the Division
of Coastal Management issues it. Written concurrence from the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is not required provided that you
can meet all of the conditions of the General Water Quality Certification.
If at anytime during construction of your project you determine that you cannot meet these conditions or if there are any additional
impacts to wetlands or water quality not described in your application, you must contact this office immediately. If you have any
questions concerning this matter, please contact Roberto Scheller of this Office at (252)-948-3940.
