V. nv DENR • WATER OUAIM yyE((At1DSAND STORMWATO BRAD SUBJECT: Request for a Minor Modification of Existing CAMA Major Development Permit # 22-07 for Replacement of Bridge No. 198 on SR 1172 (Sunset Beach Bridge) over the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway in Brunswick County; TIP B-0682; WBS # 32575.3.2 Dear Mr. Lane: The North Carolina Department of Transportation is requesting a minor modification to CAMA Major Development Permit # 22-07 for the replacement of Bridge No. 198 on SR 1172 (Stmset Beach Bridge) over the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway in Brunswick County; TIP B-0682. The modification request is that Condition 33 of the subject permit be eliminated. Condition 33 states "9n accordance with commitments made by the permittee and as requested by the Town of Sunset Beach, approximately 105 feet of the existing bridge on the north side of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway shall be left in place for public access use." The basis for the request to eliminate Condition 33 is that the NC Wildlife Resources Commission intends to place a boat ramp at this location, and the bridge portion that would remain needs to be removed to - facilitate the installation of the proposed boat ramp. Please see the attached letter from the NC Wildlife Resources Commission in this regard. The proposed boat ramp would provide public access use as intended by Condition 33 of the permit, therefore, the need to leave in place a portion of the existing bridge is alleviated. Therefore, I request - - that Condition 33 of CAMA Permit # 22-07 be eliminated. NCDOT acknowledges that $100.00 will be debited against the WBS element provided above for this minor modification. Thank you for considering this request. If you have any questions or need additional information please contact me at (910) 251-5724.

The WRC has agreed to design and fund construction of the boating access area. Currently, the plans for the bridge project show the contractor leaving in a 105' section of the bridge to be used as a public fishing pier. The boating access area project was granted a variance based on the understanding that the footprint of the proposed ramp would be within the footprint of the existing bridge, which will require the removal of the entire bridge structure. The WRC has been in contact with the DOT, and are working with them to attempt to get the bridge removed while the contractor is still on site, saving the WRC a substantial amount of money in mobilization and disposal costs. We have received a proposal from the contractor and approve of the costs, and will be working with the DOT to facilitate the financial transfer. Please accept this letter as a notification of intent from the Wildlife Resources Commission, in regards to a request made to the NCDOT that the WRC provide a letter stating that the Commission is fully prepared to execute and fund the project. The WRC already has the funding in place and ready for transfer, and is moving forward with the rest of the permitting process. The project still requires several permits, but the CAMA permit has been received, and all other permits have either been applied for or will be applied for as other permits are received. The WRC is 100% committed to seeing this project through to fruition. My understanding is that a permit modification will be required to change the DOT's major permit , and that this will need to be handled by yourself and the DOT. If there is anything that I can do to help facilitate the modification, please let me know. You can reach me any time at 919-707-0154, or 919-218-2064.
