Greetings Mr. Rivera and Mr. Goodman:
This email is to acknowledge receipt of your CAMA Major application for the proposed 20 -
slip docking facility, travel lift piers & bulkhead project located at Hertford, NC. From the
information provided with your application, I have drawn the following conclusions:
(1) You propose to establish a commercial marine repair business on a 9.88 -acre site
located at 101 N. Granby Street near Hertford, NC. [Formerly operated & know as
Shore Flyte Marina]
(2) Your application & site plan provides details for the first phase of the development
which includes construction of docking facilities, travel lift piers, bulkhead work; all of
which are represented as "water dependent infrastructure; but does not propose any
new upland development.
(3) You are aware of the requirement to apply for, and obtain, a Coastal State
Stormwater Permit for any proposed upland development, prior to beginning said
upland development; upland development meaning any impervious type
surface. The previous stormwater permit issued to Shore Flyte Marina for this site has
expired. This type of permit would be reviewed & issued by this office.
(4) You are aware of the requirement to apply for, and obtain, a separate and different
stormwater permit for industrial activities regulated by the Federal Stormwater Rules;
more specifically, a permit for marine activities covered by the North Carolina General
Stormwater Permit for Marina activities (NCG19). An NCGI 9 permit for marina
activities was issued to the previous owner for this site, but is now inactive. An
application for coverage under this permit is reviewed by DEMLR & issued from our
Central Office in Raleigh.

Mr. Rivera and Mr. Goodman, given the scope and complexity of your project, especially
the intended use of the site, it would be beneficial to all parties & agencies involved to share
& discuss the permit requirements & process through a formal scoping
process. Unfortunately this scoping process has not occurred. I understand the sense of
urgency to begin construction for the "water dependent infrastructure" and your desire to
obtain the necessary CAMA Major permit in a timely manner. However, there are
environmental issues & concerns that could be better addressed "upfront" in the review of a
project, rather than after development has begun.
Mr. Rivera, in order for our office to submit favorable comments to the Division of Coastal
Management regarding your CAMA application, we are requesting your comments,
questions & general acknowledgement, particularly to items (3)&(4) of this email. You can
submit your comments by letter to me at this office. We look forward to working with you
and your consultant on this project and will be glad to assist with the permit process in any
way we can.
