NO WRITTEN CONCURRENCE NEEDED
Dear Mr. Butch:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions; to construct a 60 lot subdivision with
associated amenities, pedestrian bridge and two community observation piers, as described in your CAMA
application dated June 7, 2011 and received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) in the Wilmington Regional
Office (WiRO) on June 10, 2011 and revised dock drawing received June 28, 2011. The revised drawing shows
that the floating section for the paddle launch will be placed waterward of the proposed observation platform so
that the floating portion will remain a minimum of 18 inches above the substrate at relative low water. After
reviewing your application, we have decided these impacts are below the threshold for written authorization as
long as all conditions of General Water Quality Certification Number 3687 (GC3687) are met. This Certification
allows you to use the Regional General Permit # 198700056 when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers and
your permit when issued by the Division of Coastal Management.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that is described in your application. The approved plans
and specifications for this project are incorporated by reference and are an enforceable part of the
permit. 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 these Certifications and approval letter and is thereby
responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed
one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). This
approval shall expire when the corresponding Nationwide/General Permits expire or as otherwise provided in the
General Certification. For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached
certification and any additional conditions listed below.
Conditions of Certification:
1. Primary Nursery Areas
Please understand that the waters around your project area have been identified by the Division of Marine
Fisheries as Primary Nursery Area (PNA). Should the need for dredging within the proposed project
area arise in the future, please be aware that new dredging within a PNA is not allowed under 15A
NCAC 02B .0220 and is a degradation of water quality standards and therefore considered a water
quality violation.
