SUBJECT: Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Permit Application Submittal for NC
Department of Cultural Resources at USS Battleship, in New Hanover County
Dear Ms. York:
This letter is in response to the above referenced CAMA Major Permit application, which was
accepted as complete by the Division's Wilmington office on August 12, 2022. Processing of the
application is ongoing. However, it has been determined that additional information will be
required prior to the Division taking final action on your application. The required item is
summarized below:
1) Comments were received from the NC Wildlife Resources Commission detailing
concerns regarding activities associated with wetland restoration, which request
established measures to minimize sediment input during high water and rain events.
These comments have been included within this email correspondence.
2) In accordance with 15A NCAC 07H.0208(a)(2)(B), it is the policy of this Division that,
prior to taking final action on a project of this nature, a Water Quality Certification for
the proposed development must first be approved by the Division of Water Resources
(DWR).
On October 18, 2021, the DWR placed the project on hold as proposed and requested additional
information. I have provided the state agency comments within the email providing this
notification for your reference.
Therefore, it is necessary that processing of your permit application be placed in abeyance until
such time as the required information is accepted by the resource agencies and final comments
have been provided.
