REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Messers McGough and Johnson:
On September 5, 2007, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your CAMA application
dated August 30, 2007 to construct a 10-slip dock, a rail and lift system, a dry stack facility,
sewer pump out facility, fuel staging platform, bulkheads, access boardwalks, clubhouse & pool,
office building parking lot and dredge an access channel. The Division of Environmental Health,
Shellfish Sanitation and Recreational Water Quality Section has determined that the proposed
project would impact the surrounding shellfish waters and permanently close these waters to
shellfish harvesting. Because the proposed project would result in significant impacts, this
Office has determined that significant uses could be removed or degraded by this project.
Therefore unless modifications of the proposal are made to alleviate the concerns of Shellfish
Sanitation, we will recommend moving towards denial of your application as required by 15A
NCAC 2H .0506 and will place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional
information.
Additional Information Requested:
If the project is modified to address the concerns of the Shellfish Sanitation and Recreational
Water quality Section and there are no other objections, DWQ will have no objection to the
project.
Please respond within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending this information to me in
writing and Ian McMillan of the 401 Oversight/Express Review Permitting Unit. His address is
Ian McMillan, 401 Oversight/Express Review Permitting Unit, 2321 Crabtree Blvd., Raleigh,
NC 27604-2260. If we do not hear from you within three weeks, we will assume that you no
longer want to pursue this project and we will consider the project as withdrawn.
