FROM: Heather Coats fhV\4 -
Field Representative, Wilmington
THROUGH: Debra Wilson
Wilmington District Manager
DATE: April 12, 2012
SUBJECT: Permit Modification Request
CAMA Major Permit No. 43 -11
Penderwatch, Hampstead, Pender County
Dee Freeman
Secretary
Ms. Allie Sheffield, on behalf of Penderwatch & Conservancy, is requesting a modification of State Permit No.
43 -11. State Permit No. 43 -11 was issued to Penderwatch & Conservancy on March 31, 2011 authorizing
construction of 12 oyster bag reefs. Six of the reefs were constructed in June of 2011. Five are to be constructed
shortly (Reefs 1 -3, 11 & 12). Reef 4 will not be built at this time due to the presence of submerged aquatic
vegetation (SAV). The permit has been extended per Session Laws 2009 -406 and 2010 -177 and will expire on
October 1, 2015.
Ms. Sheffield is requesting that the permit be modified in order to allow a realignment of the reefs in order to
avoid the SAV now growing in the project area and relief from Condition #4 of the permit, which requires a 5'
separation between SAV and the reefs. Penderwatch is requesting the condition be modified to reduce the
required distance from SAV from 5' to 2', to account for the abundance of SAV that is now growing in the area.
Reef 1 has also been reduced to 22.3' in length from an authorized 70'. Reef 2 would be decreased in length
from a permitted 28' in length to 19' in length. Reef 3 would be reduced in length from 57' to 28'. Reef 11
would be remain at the permitted 77' length and Reef 12 would be reduced to a length of 31.5' from a permitted
length of 56' (see attached Sheets 4 & 5 dated revised 4112112).
