September 9, 2010 Ms Holley Snider NC Division of Coastal Management 127 Cardinal Drive Extension Wilmington, NC 28405 -3845 Re Lewis Road Boat Launching Facility Boat Ramp Repairs Pecan Grove Plantation Hampstead, NC Dear Ms Snider aOo to °° 3° ✓z C �S T I SEP ] 4 2010 I 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
