All,
Please see the attached revisions to the Doug Twiddy Elijah Baum CAMA Major application. We have pulled the
proposed bulkhead landward of the rip rap on the peninsula as recommended by NCWRC.

Courtney,
Please let me know if you require additional hard copies (how many) and whether or not we need to amend the
application (the attached proposal reduces the total length of bulkhead by about 15 feet).

Thanks,

Courtney,

NCWRC has reviewed the modified plans for the Doug Twiddy project received by email on October 17, 2016. We
appreciate the removal of the proposed access channel from the project application. The removal of the access channel
addresses our main concern that was to be presented in our objection letter.

However, there is still concern with the proposed “encapsulation” of the existing riprap with a bulkhead. The
southeastern shore of the peninsula is already stabilized. The waterward bulkhead installation of an already stabilized
shoreline increases impacts to public trust waters and would likely increase shallow water habitat and SAV habitat scour
due to the waters’ interface with the vertical structure. Furthermore, a study conducted by the NCWRC determined that
fish abundance and diversity was significantly higher along riprap shorelines than along bulkhead sites. Therefore, we
recommend allowing the riprap to remain on the southeast shore of the peninsula to avoid increased scour of shallow
water and SAV habitats, to allow the existing fishery habitat opportunities to continue, and to offset the impact of filling
important fringe wetland habitats by the proposed bulkhead within the basin area. If the applicant continues to pursue a
bulkheaded shoreline, the bulkhead should be placed landward of the existing rip-rap to minimize impacts to aquatic
resources.

Thank you for the opportunity to review this permit application modification. If I can be of additional assistance, please
let me know.
Maria

Subject: Doug Twiddy CAMA Major App in Dare County

Good morning,

Mr. Warren Eadus submitted an updated workplan drawing and MP-2 reflecting the removal of the proposed access
channel from Mr. Doug Twiddy’s project in Dare County that you are currently reviewing. I have attached both
documents to this email for your consideration. Since the workplan drawing was an oversized plat I scanned the area
most relevant to the proposed excavation – everything else in the project remains unchanged. Please provide any
2

comments you may have at your earliest convenience, and if you require any additional information or have questions,
please let me know.

Kind regards,
