REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Marina Village at Snug Harbor
Dear Mr. Melvin:
On January 10, 2007, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) in the Wilmington Regional Office (WiRO) received
your CAMA application dated January 5, 2007 to revise and expand the original subdivision and marina
development at Nelson's Bay. The DWQ has determined that your application was incomplete and/or provided
inaccurate information as discussed below. The DWQ will require additional information in order to process your
application to impact protected wetlands and/or streams on the subject property. Therefore, unless we receive the
additional information requested below, we will have to move toward denial of your application as required by
15A NCAC 2H .0506 and will place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional
information. Please provide the following information so that we may continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
1) The additional amount of wetland impact with the proposed bulkhead does not meet the DWQ review
criteria of avoidance and minimization that is required by the 401/404 type projects. Please find another
alternative that will have less or no wetland impacts than what has been proposed in your application.
2) You will be required to place a deed notification/deed restriction on the remaining wetlands on the
project. Please provide a notarized copy of the draft deed notification/restriction, covenants,
preservation (if required by the Corps) language that, at a minimum, notify future lot owners that there
are wetlands on the property, which are protected by the NC Division of Water Quality and the US Army
Corps of Engineers. If you plan on preserving the remaining wetlands on the tract, please provide a
notarized copy of the draft language that will accomplish preservation. Example language for the deed
notification is available on our website http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/certs.html.
Please respond within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending this information to me in writing and 5 copies
of the information to Ian McMillian of the DWQ Oversight Unit Office. You will also need to send copies of the
changes to the Division of Coastal Management (DCM) and Dave Timpy of the Wilmington Corps of Engineers. If
we do not hear from you within three weeks, we will assume that you no longer want to pursue this project and we
will consider the project as withdrawn.
