WETLANDS AND STOMMATER BRANCH
By copy of the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(NCDENR) letter to you dated September 21, 2011 (copy enclosed), we have learned that the
North Carolina Coastal Management Consistency Certification for your proposed permit
modification to extend the previously authorized floating dock an additional 32 feet into the
AIWW, the northern forklift support pier an additional 35 feet into the AIWW, and the southern
forklift support pier an additional 25 feet into the AIWW has been denied. The Coastal Zone
Management Act provides that no Federal permit may be issued for an activity within the coastal
zone where the State has denied a consistency certification. Accordingly, your request to modify
your Department of the Army permit is hereby denied, without prejudice, and your file has been
retired.
Should you appeal and receive a North Carolina Coastal Management Consistency
Certification, the Department of the Army will review your project again for Federal
authorization.

Mr. Dave Timpy of the Wilmington Regulatory Field Office staff is available to answer any
questions may have or to assist you in developing a revised plan. Mr. Timpy may be reached at

Sincerely,

Steven A. Baker
Colonel, U. S. Army
