Orton Plantation Holdings, LLC State Permit No. 123-20
c/o Steve Morrison (Agent)
3805 Wrightsville Avenue, Suite 15
Wilmington, NC 28403
Dear Mr. Morrison,
This is with reference to the request received on September 28, 2022 by DCM to refine State Permit No. 123-20,
which was originally issued to Orton Plantation Holdings, LLC on December 23, 2020 for an elevated boardwalk and
bridge maintenance adjacent to Lilliput and Allen's Creek in Winnabow, Brunswick County. State Permit No. 123-20
is due to expire on December 31, 2023.
The action proposed in your submittal is to re -align the permitted elevated boardwalk adjacent to Allen's Creek to a
linear east -west alignment (see Sheet 2 of 3). The boardwalk length would be reduced from 1,417 ft. long by 6 ft.
wide to 1,335 ft. long by 4 ft. wide. The elevation is also proposed to change to comply with local floodplain
requirements. The boardwalk would be elevated so that the structural cross members are at 10.4 ft. at NAVD88 (see
Narrative). No additional development is proposed and the boardwalk would not require any excavation or fill
activities.
Upon reviewing the information provided, the Division of Coastal Management has determined that the proposed
action is consistent with existing State rules and regulations and is in keeping with the original purpose and intent of
the permit. I hereby submit this Letter of Refinement authorizing the modification of State Permit #123-20, as
described in your request dated September 28, 2022. By copy of this letter we are notifying the US Army Corps of
Engineers and the Division of Water Resources of our action. Please note this refinement does not alleviate the need
to obtain any other local, state or federal permits.
If you have any questions concerning the above or if I can be of any other assistance, please contact me at 910-796-
7266.
Sincerely,
---7A7

Re: Letter of Refinement request, CAMA Permit Number 123-20, Orton Plantation Holdings,
LLC, Brunswick County
Dear Tara,
On behalf of Orton Plantation Holdings, LLC, I am requesting a Letter of Refinement for their
CAMA Permit Number 123-20 for the revision of their planned elevated wooden walkway at
Allen's Creek. The piling -supported walkway is being changed from a relatively circular
routing to a more linear east -west alignment as shown on the enclosed figures. The walkway
dimensions are being changed from a 1,417' length by 6' width to a 1,335' length by 4' width.
In addition, the elevation of the walkway has been increased so that the structure's cross
members are at 10.4' NAVD88 (1' above the base flood level) to comply with the local
floodplain requirements. The approved No -Rise Certification from the Brunswick County
Floodplain Manager is attached. As with the existing permit, there are no excavation or fill
activities proposed.
Please contact me or Greg Finch with any questions regarding this request. Thank you for your
assistance.
Sincerely,
Steve Morrison
Environmental Consultant
