The Town would like to take this opportunity to respond to one of the points raised in your reply. With regards to the dredging of Area "A", and the concern that the dredging of this area might not comply with DWR's rules on avoidance and minimization, the Town has discussed this issue internally and with our project engineering team (Moffatt and Nichol). While we do believe that the dredging of Area "A" will help to maintain the somewhat limited access (and reduce existing dangers to navigation) to North Jinks Creek and the AIWW that have existed in the past, we are concerned that pursuing the dredging of Area "A" at this time will lead to delays in rapidly obtaining a permit modification for the dredging of Area "B". Any such delay in obtaining this permit modification will represent an additional cost to the Town, as we are currently paying the dredge contractor a daily standby fee until approvals are received to resume dredging. Therefore, the Town requests that at this time the dredging of Area "A" be formally removed from our current modification request. Consequently, our modification request is now for the dredging of Area "B" only. By copy of this correspondence, the Town also requests that the dredging of Area "A" be removed from the modification requests currently being reviewed by the Division of Coastal Management and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. We also would respectfully request that all agencies move forward as quickly as possible with issuance of the needed approvals to dredge Area "B". Should you have any questions on this issue, please feel free to contact me. Thank you in advance for your continued attention to this matter. Sincerely, Lisa H.

Yesterday, we met with the state resources agencies and coastal management to review the modifications. An outstanding concern in the 401 review is the need to dredge the "Area A" shown on the attached plans. It appears it doesn't satisfy our rule requirement for avoidance and minimization. Outside of that concern, we are reaching out to ACOE to ensure coordination. I believe those are the only two items/issues left for DWR to resolve before modifying the Certification, and I'm hopeful we can issue a modified certification early next week. I've copied John Perry from our Wilmington Regional Office who is handling the project in Holley Snider's absence, in case he has anything additional to add that I've missed. Please let me know if you have additional specific questions.

Mr. Wojoski: Can you tell me if you have any updates regarding the water quality certification for the additional dredging of the South Jinks Creek project request that is being consider now. Rapid response to this issue is critical to allow for adequate time to perform the dredging within this environmental window. Sincerely, Lisa H.
