Subject: Kitty Hawk Landing Dredge Extension Request

Ron,

Please see attached dredge extension request letter for Kitty Hawk Landing. Please let me know if you would like for me
to contact any other regulatory agency representatives individually to discuss. I know we just received a new CAMA
1

Major for a separate project in Kitty Hawk with an April 1 dredge moratorium start. I do not know if that is going to
become a new date across the board in the Kitty Hawk area or not.

Thanks,
Brian

RE: Dredge Period Extension Request
Kitty Hawk Landing, CAMA Major 153-09
The purpose of this correspondence is to request an extension to the ongoing project at kitty Hawk Landing as
permitted in CAMA Major 153-09 and the accompanying Modifications. The mechanical dredging is being
completed by Sawyer's Marine Contracting (Ivan Sawyer and Eric Pake). This season's work has included jetty
rock work (as permitted under CAMA Major 03-15) and maintenance dredging at the Avery Pond entrance area
(under CAMA Major 153-09). Additional work commencing next week is the maintenance dredging at the South
Channel Entrance, only in the area already permitted under 153-09 at this time. The CAMA Major Modification for
the complete South Entrance Channel has not yet issued, so work will be limited to the already permitted area at
the entrance which is the primary shoaling hot spot. Based on conversations with Doug Huggett, the only thing
holding up the Major Modification issuance is the US Army Corps General Permit associated with the "291
Process". I have talked the USACE representatives as well and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and
we anticipate receiving this permit any day now. If that permit does issue, some minor dredging covered under
that Major Modification may also take place.
As you are aware, the CAMA Major Permit states:
"in order to protect finfish populations, no excavation or filling shall be permitted between February 15 and
I — urw-n llwsilkn Iff
appropriate resource agencies."
past this timeframe will be required to complete this work. Due to the potential for poor weather delays, I
respectfully request that the dredge period extension be extended through March 5th.
It is understood that State and Federal resources agencies in addition to NCDCM must review and consider this
request. Please let me know how you would prefer to handle this. We would gladly contact those representatives
individually and/or send them this request, based on your recommendations and preference. And, if it is your
preference to meet on-site with the dredge contractors, please let me know when you would be able to do this.
Thanks for your continued assistance with this project.
Sincerely,
