Dear Mr. Leger:

Reference the application of Mr. John Leger to construct a new docking facility in waters
adjacent to the AIWW, at 106 Inlet Court, in Hampstead, Pender County, North Carolina.

Your proposal has been reviewed and found to be consistent with the provisions and
objectives of the CAMA-Corps Programmatic Permit process (copy attached) for construction
activities that receive authorization from the State of North Carolina. Therefore, you may
commence construction activity in strict accordance with applicable State authorization, enclosed
Federal special conditions, the approved plan, and the following special condition:

1. In order to further protect the endangered West Indian Manatee, Trichechus manatus, the
applicant must implement the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Manatee Guidelines, and
strictly adhere to all requirements therein. The guidelines can be found at
https://www.fws.gov/raleigh/pdfs/ManateeGuidelines2017.pdf.
2. During construction all vessels and equipment shall remain outside of the AIWW as to not
interfere with navigation.

Failure to comply with the State authorization or conditions of the Federal permit could
result in civil and/or administrative penalties.

If any change in your work is required because of unforeseen or altered conditions or for
any other reason, plans revised to show the change must be sent promptly to this office and the
North Carolina Division of Coastal Management prior to performing any such change or
alteration. Such action is necessary as revised plans must be reviewed and the authorization
modified. Your Department of the Army permit will expire on December 31, 2021.
