Dear Ms Snider

BY
This letter is written to request that you initiate the CAMA permit process to allow repairs to the
existing concrete boat ramp which is owned by the Pecan Grove Plantation Homeowners Association
(the Association) and located at the end of Lewis Road in Pender County
Two hazardous conditions currently exist at the concrete ramp First, the end section of the existing
ramp section has cracked and deflected downward, which has resulted in a "drop-off" being present at
the end of the ramp Second, the existing concrete surface is extremely slick and presents a hazard
to persons walking on the ramp The Association would like to simply replace the cracked /damaged
end section of the concrete ramp with a new concrete section The new section would also include a
grooved surface to improve traction for both feet and vehicular traffic
We understand that the most recent construction relative to the boat ramp was an addition performed
in 2005 (CAMA Permit 30 -05) We further understand that immediately prior to this time, the ramp
was repaired in late 2004 or early 2005 with a new concrete end section A CAMA General Permit
was secured for the 2004/2005 work The scope of the currently proposed repair work is anticipated
to be very similar to the scope of repairs performed in 2004/2005 (simple replacement of damaged
sections of the ramp) Therefore, it is expected that a CAMA General Permit will likewise be required
for the current work
In order to properly evaluate this request, we are providing you with copies of what is believed to be
the complete CAMA permit file for the subject property, which we have obtained from the Division of
Coastal Management files located within the Cardinal Drive office in Wilmington, NC In addition, we
are also providing you with copies of surveys that the Association has commissioned relative to its
acquisition of the Lewis Road property earlier this year Attachments to this letter include
• CAMA Permit 30 -05 issued on 3/31/05 to widen and lengthen the existing boat ramp and to
construct three fixed piers and a gazebo
CAMA General Permit issued to David Greer Construction on 10/12/04 for floating dock
repairs, installation of mooring piles, and boat ramp repairs
• CAMA Permit 89 -88 issued on 6/01/88 to install mooring piles for 6 new boat slips
CAMA Permit 30 -79 issued on 1/04/82 for maintenance dredging in the immediate area of
the current Pecan Grove boat ramp (approximately 30 cubic yards), and dredging of a boat
basin (approximately 667 cubic yards) located immediately north of the current Pecan Grove
boat ramp (current Mathews property) It is specifically noted that there is no record of
dredging ever being permitted or conducted within the area immediately south of the current
Pecan Grove boat ramp (current State of North Carolina property)
Copy of "Lewis Road SAV Survey" dated March 19, 2010 prepared by Dial Cordy and
Associates for the subject Lewis Road site It is noted that the area surveyed is
approximately 148 feet wide measured along the shoreline and extends approximately 450
feet in an easterly direction from the shoreline This area is the "site" The site includes the
property now currently owned by the Pecan Grove Plantation Homeowners Association and
property now currently owned by the State of North Carolina Please note that the SAV
survey revealed that the entire site is inhabited by eelgrass (Zostera marina), with density of
coverage reported as approximately 0 -10 percent Please note also that Dial Cordy
performed their survey in the winter months They state within their report that a survey of
the same area during mid- summer would likely present a much higher density
Copy of "Seagrass Survey for Pecan Grove HOA" dated May 19, 2010 prepared by Talbot
Land Surveying This document has been coordinated with the Dial Cordy SAV report dated
March 19, 2010 in order to show the extent of the SAV survey The Talbot survey also
shows the general property boundaries, hydrographic survey data, and general location data
We have "marked up" the Talbot survey to show the basic extent of the repairs needed to the
existing Pecan Grove boat ramp
Check in the amount of $200 00 payable to NCDENR for the CAMA General Permit fee
Please note that no dredging is planned as part of the currently proposed boat ramp repairs
However, should dredging be required in the future to facilitate the Association's use of its boat ramp
at Lewis Road, please further note that it is expected that such dredging would be labeled as
"maintenance" dredging, considering that dredging has earlier been permitted and conducted within
and 10 feet around the ramp footprint pursuant to CAMA permit 30 -79
As you are likely aware, the ability to identify proposed dredging as "maintenance" rather than as
"new" is extremely important from a CAMA permitting perspective Based upon the results of an
earlier effort by the Association to secure a CAMA permit for boat ramp improvements at its Pelican
Walk boat launching facility, which is located near Lewis Road, it is understood that the Division of
Coastal Management is unable to grant a CAMA permit for new dredging in any areas containing
SAV It has been reported to the Association that new dredging of any amount in SAV areas would
be considered a "significant adverse impact ", which would require an automatic CAMA permit denial
Therefore, the Association wishes to document for the record that any future dredging needed in and
immediately around the boat ramp at its Lewis Road site should be considered "maintenance"
dredging as long as it is performed in general conformance with CAMA permit 30 -79 Further, the
Association wishes to document for the record that the Lewis Road site does contain a significant
quantity of SAV and that previous dredging on site is documented to have been performed only within
the general footprint (and 10 feet on either side)
2
Again, the purpose of this letter is to simply request a CAMA General Permit for concrete ramp
repairs, consistent with earlier ramp repairs also made 2004/2005 under a general permit The
information provided regarding the CAMA permit file and the survey documenting the
presence of SAV are provided to simply to inform you of the existing conditions on site and
the history of the site These may become considerations in the future
It is understood that a CAMA General Permit for ramp repairs, as described within this letter, can be
written "on the spot" Accordingly, please let us know if it will be necessary to meet with you on site
Please call or write if there is anything we need to discuss
Sincerely,
James T Pyrtle, P E , President - Pecan Grove Plantation Homeowners Association

9 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is located at the end of Lewis Road (SR 1564), adjacent to the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway
(AIWW), near Hampstead, in Pender County To access the project site, take Hwy 17 north from Wilmington and
turn right onto Sloop Point Road dust past Hilltop Grocery Follow Sloop Point Loop Road for approximately 2 6
miles and turn left onto Lewis Road The project site is located at the far end of Lewis Road on the left hand side
The project site consists of one property, which is adjacent to the AIWW on the east side of Lewis Road The
property has approximately 148' of shoreline and is approximately 250' in depth from the road right -of way The
property has an average elevation of 8 feet above MHW and the highground area consists primarily of lawn
grasses There are however, several large Live Oaks (Quercus sp ) located on the property There is an existing
concrete boat ramp on the property as well as a boathouse, boardwalk, floating dock, bulkhead, tie - pilings and two
fixed piers There are no coastal wetlands located on, or adjacent to the property The shoreline is stabilized by a
vinyl bulkhead
The project site has a CAMA permit history dating back to 1979 (CAMA Permit #30 -79) There are no records on
file that show development prior to that time, however, a boathouse, marine railway and bulkhead were existing
prior to the time that the first permit was issued According to DCM files, the permittee at the time, Vernon Lewis,
received a CAMA Mayor permit for the excavation of material from the area adjacent to the property The
permittee received another CAMA Permit ( #89 -88) for the construction of several tie - pilings as well as the addition
of a floating dock The permits were never renewed and all maintenance work has previously been approved under
CAitifA/D &F General Permits The site currently provides dockage for up to nine vessels and includes one
transient dock located within the boat launch area, ,lust east of the boat ramp
The waters of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, adjacent to the proposed project area, are classified SA, by the
NC Division of Water Quality T}us section of the waterway is NOT designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA),
by the NC Division of Marine Fisheries The area is OPEN to the harvest of shellfish
The applicant is proposing to construct three, 3' x 12' finger piers along the eastern side of the existing bulkhead,
and construct a 12' x 12' covered gazebo at the terminal end of the existing pier Additionally, the applicant is
proposing to expand the existing boat ramp As proposed, the boat ramp addition would extend 20' waterward of
the existing ramp (or 19' below the Mean Low Water (MLW) contour) and would be 26' in width Two other
sections of ramp (5'6" x 11' each) would also be installed on both sides of the existing ramp to make the ramp
uniform The two 5'6" x 11' sections would span from the Mean High Water (MHW) line down to the MLW line
According to the site drawings, water depth measurements in the areas surrounding the proposed finger piers
average -3 7' to —5 0' MHW Water depth measurements in the area surrounding the proposed boat ramp range
from 0' (MHW) to —5 0' According to the applicant, the Sloop Point Boat House will be used as a launching and
docking facility for the residents of the Pecan Grove Subdivision
10 ANTICIPATED IyIPACTS
The construction of the proposed gazebo and finger piers would incorporate approximately 252 sq ft of Public
Trust and Estuarine Waters The proposed boat ramp would impact approximately 740 sq ft of previously dredged
and/or disturbed bottom

attached plats, 2, plan view and location dated received 4/4/88.
This permit, issued on l �' is subject to compliance with the application (where consistent
with the permit), all applicable regulations, special conditions and notes set forth below Any violation of these terms may subject
permittee to a fine, imprisonment or civil action, or may cause the permit to be null and void
(1) The permittee's scheme of development, of which the authorized work is
a part, contemplates the presence of structures and their attendant utilities
on lands subject to an easement in favor of the United States for the operation
maintenance, improvement, and enlargement of the Atlantic Intracoastal
Waterway (AIWW) Accordingly, the permittee will be required to remove
such structures and improvements at his own expense in the event that,
in the judgment of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers acting on behalf of
the United States, the lands are needed at any time for any purpose within
the scope of the easement Permanent buildings will not be constructed
within the easement.
(2) This permit does not authorize the interference with any existing or proposed
Federal project, and the permittee will not be entitled to compensation
for damage or injury to the authorized structure or work which may be caused
from existing or future operations undertaken by the United States in the
public interest
(3) The permittee will maintain the authorized work in good condition and in
This permit action may be appealed by the permittee
or other qualified persons within twenty (20) days of the

ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
conformance with the terms and conditions of this permit. The permittee
is not relieved of this requirement if he abandons the structures without
having the permit transferred to a third party
(4) Approval of the structure was based on determination that there would be
no obstruction to navigation Under conditions existing in the Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW), a possibility exists that the structure may
be damaged by wavewash from passing vessels Unreasonable slowing down
of vessel traffic cannot be required because it would tend to nullify the
navigational benefits on which the AIWW was ,justified Issuance of this
permit should not be construed as relieving the permittee of taking proper
steps to ensure the structure and moored boats will not be damaged by wavewash
normally to be expected in the AIWW
(5) The activity will be conducted in such a manner as to prevent significant
increases in turbidity outside the area of construction or construction- related
discharge
(6) This permit authorizes only the docks, piers and other structures and uses
located in or over the water that are expressly and specifically set forth
in the permit application. No other structures, whether floating of stationary,
may become a permanent part of this marina without permit modification
No non -water dependent uses or structures may be conducted on, in, or over
public trust waters without permit modification
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that the permittee exercise all available
precautions in the day -to -day operation of the facility to prevent sand
blasting residue and /or other facility waste from entering the adjacent
waters Such discharge, either directly or indirectly, to adjacent waters
could contravene state water quality standards, thereby violating state
law

Re Lewis Road SAV Survey adjacent to Pecan Walk Common Area (Pender County
PIN# 4224 -02- 0107 -0000) along the Intracoastal Waterway in Sloop Point, NC
Dear Mr Pyrtle
On February 19, 2010, Dial Cordy and Associates Inc (DC &A) surveyed an
approximately 1 53 acre area for seagrass The survey area is located along the
Intracoastal Waterway, southeast of the eastern terminus of Lewis Road in Sloop
Point, NC A copy of the map you provided of the survey area is included with this
letter report The purpose of the survey was to determine the presence /absence of
seagrasses in the area to assist you in planning boat ramp improvements
The area surveyed is approximately 148' wide and extends 450' approximately
east from the northeast and southeast corners associated with the Pecan Walk
Common Area (Pender County PIN# 4224 -02- 0107 -0000) on Lewis Road in Sloop
Point, NC
Survey efforts revealed that the entire site is inhabited by seagrass Eelgrass
(Zostera manna) was the only species observed Rhizomes and live shoots were
evenly dispersed throughout the entire survey area Density of live shoots was very
sparse (0 -10 percent aerial coverage) throughout the area While density currently
appears low, winter months are not optimal for surveying since only small shoots
persist during this time and are very difficult to see A survey of the same area during
mid- summer, when biomass is at its peak, would likely present a much higher
density
Water depth in the corridor ranged from approximately two to seven feet at the time
of the survey The substrate in the survey area consists almost entirely of sandy mud
with very little shell The only variation in substrate was of a narrow band of muddy
sand along the shoreline Only a few scattered oysters (Crassostrea vlrgrnlca) were
observed, most of which were situated on or around piers and bulkheads

the site by Paul D Talbot, PLS Upon completion of the draft plat, we will coordinate
review /revision of the map with Mr Talbot In the meantime, should you have any
