SUBJECT: Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Permit Application Submittal for
Charles and Carol Holden in Currituck County
Mr. & Mrs. Holden:
This letter is in response to the above referenced CAMA permit application, which was accepted
as complete by the Division's Elizabeth City office on October 7, 2016. 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. These required items are
summarized below:
1) 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). Based upon the attached request for information from the DWR dated September
6, 2016, it appears as though additional information from the applicant will be required
before a final decision on issuance of a Water Quality Certification can be made.
Therefore, it is necessary that processing of your permit application be placed in
abeyance until such time as the required information is provided to the DWR, a Water
Quality Certification is issued for the project, and a copy of the approval supplied to this
office.
If you can provide to this office a copy of the requested information within five working days
from the date of this letter, DCM staff will continue processing of the application and the
processing clock will not be suspended. If the required information is not received in this office
