MEMO

Regional Officqa:>
To: Division of Coastal Management, 400 Commerce Ave, Morehead City, NC 28557
Subject: Comments on Drummonds Point, Modify Major Permit (# 153 -05)
Date: February 12, 2013
The Division of Water Quality, Washington Regional Office, objects to the subject project due to deficiencies
found in the application requesting a permit modification. The modification request was received in this Office
on January 29, 2013. The deficiencies are as follows:
• Propose breakwaters should all have a 10 foot overlap /offset to allow for adequate flushing and aquatic
life passage.
• It is required to demonstrate avoidance and minization of impacts from proposed construction of
breakwaters. There should be a reduction of impacts, from the 30 foot wide base, of the proposed
breakwaters. If reduction is not possible due to wave energy, it shall be necessary to provide
information to justify the need for proposed breakwater size.
• The application states that "an SAV survey was conducted in October/November 2010." Please note that
Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) surveys should be conducted during the growing session, May
through September. The referred SAV survey is not acceptable by this Office and should be conducted
during the appropriate season.
• Proposed break waters located on the south and north sides of Drummond's Point appear to be excessive
in size, length, and area encompassed. It is necessary to show justification of impacts from breakwater
construction.
