SUBJECT: Moratorium Relief Request for CAMA Permit No. 18-21, Gold Bond Building
Products, LLC Maintenance Dredge, Wilmington, North Carolina
To whom it may concern,
This letter is in response to the above referenced CAMA permit moratorium relief request received
by the DCM Morehead City office via email on February 22, 2023. To review this request, we
coordinated with the NC Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF), NC Wildlife Resource
Commission (WRC), United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and the Division of Water
Resources (DWR).
The requested action pertains to an additional two -week relief from the conditioned dredging
moratorium (February 15 to September 30), to end on March 15, 2023. This moratorium was
conditioned to protect juvenile and anadromous finfish populations, and to minimize adverse
impacts to fisheries resources. While concerns remain about the effects of dredging on these
resources, NCDMF, DWR, and WRC have approved moratorium relief through March 15, 2023.
The Division of Coastal Management grants this one-time moratorium relief request through
March 15, 2023, with the understanding that every effort will be made to complete the authorized
work within the approved relief period.
If you have any questions concerning these matters, please feel free to contact me by telephone at
[phone], or by email at [e-mail].
