Please note that the Division of Coastal Management does not typically issue a consistency
concurrence decision until the Applicant has obtained all other required State permits and/or
permissions. According to the submission letter, the Applicant is in the process of obtaining the
other required State approvals such as the Section 401 Water Quality Certification, an erosion
and sediment control plan, a storm water management plan, and an acceptance of any proposed
mitigation by the State's Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP). Before DCM makes a
decision on the consistency certification all these approval, as required, must be obtained. Please
forward copies of those approvals as they are received to DCM. Thank you for your
consideration of the North Carolina Coastal Management Program.
