Cameron,
DWR agrees with the updated realignment that does not change the alignment inside of PNA waters. DWR also
agrees that the recommendation to adhere to the 1 April through 30 September in -water work moratorium
remain in place.

Good Afternoon all,
Thanks Jimmy for responding. Since we received objections to the original drawings from USACE and WRC, can you guys please confirm
you all are good with the updated drawings? We need to get something out to the applicant soon.
DWR, your statements indicate you are good with a realignment so long as it occurs outside of PNA. The new alignment is does not
change within PNA so should be consistent with your comments. Please confirm.
Thanks all,

This update appears to ensure that the realignment will not result in new dredging in PNA. As such, as long as
they adhere to this alignment, concerns from the DMF regarding the realignment should be alleviated. The
recommendation to adhere to the 1 April through 30 September in -water work moratorium remains.
Thanks for the update!

Good Afternoon everyone,
I have been working with the applicant on this one to come up with a new alignment that does not propose a new
footprint within the PNA.
See attached for an updated drawing. Let me know if you all have concerns still or are comfortable with the new
alignment.
Thanks,

Hey Cameron,
Thanks for pinging us on this. I am going to have to agree with Maria. Shifting the channel will require "new dredging"
which we will circulate to our federal partners. Maintenance dredging in the same footprint is not likely to raise many
concerns but going outside the template in sturgeon critical habitat may raise some flags. While I understand the ask, if
they have current authorization to dredge in the area that needs to be dredged, the purpose and need of shifting the
channel just 60 feet may fall short given the environmental impacts.
On our side we wont view this as a modification but likely as a whole other permit request if it's a CAMA major.
Let me know if you need anything else from me!
Josh

Hi Cameron,
I am going to upload comments, but they will not be in support of the channel realignment. Whittaker Creek is PNA and
the shift would be new dredging. The channel maintenance originally was not within the shoreline stabilization project
on the island so it wasn't related to anything presented during the multiple shoreline stabilization meetings until the
2020 modification request. I believe one of the reasons to add the channel maintenance to the stabilization project was
to obtain the fill material. The NCWRC did not object then because the channel had been permitted and had a
maintenance history so we were fine with the same dimensions and a moratorium — they were essentially just adding
two projects into one and making a dredge permit valid that had expired.

Good Morning Everyone,
I am looking for comments on this minor modification request we received 1/4/24.

Applicant is asking to shift the channel approach by 1.5 degrees to reduce amount of material needed to be dredged. If you need more
info, please let me know.
Thanks!
