I am resubmitting this CZM consistency determination, as requested by Heather. There are minor changes in the impact acreages (see red font), but everything else should be the same. I've also included the site plan with this submittal. Southern Environmental Group, Inc. (SEGi) has been retained by Pender Farm Development, LLC (herein referred to as the "Applicant") to pursue USACE and DWR approvals, in the form of an Individual Permit (IP) and Major Water Quality Certification (WQC) respectively. The authorizations are necessary to facilitate the impact of 1.44 acres of jurisdictional wetlands, 0.22 acres of temporar , wetland impacts , id 0.53 acres relatively permanent waters (RPW's). The project is located west of Highway 17 and north of Sidbury Road; Scott's Hill, Pender County, North Carolina and is locally known as Blake Farm. The purpose of the fill is associated with road crossings; stormwater devices and minor lot fill to facilitate the construction of a 255 Lot residential subdivision within an 1164 acre parcel of land. The proposed subdivision is located on 1164 acres of timber land. Wetlands present on the tract are primarily wet flats and pocosins. These wetlands have been timbered historically where practical and the last cut completed in approximately 2011. Ditches which run through the property connect the wetland pockets and ultimately flow to a single discharge point along the eastern property line. From this point a large ditch continues off the property to an unnamed tributary of Futch Creek. The North Carolina CAMA requires that federally permitted projects/activities within the coastal zone must be consistent with the enforceable policies of the state's CAMA. The DCM requires an applicant show the proposed activity meets the requirements and policies of the local CAMA LUP, reduce the discharge of pollutants, control the sources of pollution, and adopt methods to eliminate harmful runoff. Meeting the requirements of the CAMA has been incorporated within local and state permitting requirements for development within the coastal counties. Specifically, requirements within the County LUP, the NCDWR Stormwater Plan, the Land Quality Section's S&EC Plan, and the mitigation required by the ACOE and the NCDWR, have been designed to meet the requirements within the CAMA. With that in mind, the proposed project is not located in a CAMA AEC and has been designed to meet local, state and federal requirement, as well as to limit erosion and sedimentation and other impacts to water quality, to the greatest extent practicable. Upon review of the proposed plan, SEGi concludes that the proposed activity complies with the enforceable policies of North Carolina's approved management program and will be conducted in a manner consistent with such a program To assist you in the decision making process, you will find the following attachments: • Vicinity Map • Aerial Photograph with Parcel Info • NC DWR Water Classification Map • Site Development Plan ("Blake Land Overview Sketch") • Wetlands Impact Maps Drawings Set 5-25-17 Please let me know if you need anything further. I will be happy to provide it.

DAVIS Director SUBJECT: CD17-032 Consistency Concurrence Concerning the proposed Blake Farms Development, Pender County, North Carolina (DCM#20170034) Dear Ms. Lutheran: We received your consistency submission on February 7, 2017, which was revised and resubmitted on June 2, 2017, concerning Fender Farm Development, LLC's proposed Blake Farms development west of US Highway 17, and north of Sidbury Road, in Hampstead, Fender County, North Carolina. North Carolina's coastal zone management program consists of, but is not limited to, the Coastal Area Management Act, the State's Dredge and Fill Law, Chapter 7 of Title 15A of North Carolina's Administrative Code, and the land use plan of the County and/or local municipality in which the proposed project is located. It is the objective of the Division of Coastal Management (DCM) to manage the State's coastal resources to ensure that proposed activities requiring a federal permit would be compatible with safeguarding and perpetuating the biological, social, economic, and aesthetic values of the State's coastal waters. DCM has reviewed the submitted information pursuant to the management objectives and enforceable policies of Subchapters 7H and 7M of Chapter 7 in Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code and concurs that the proposed activity, as submitted in the revised plans approved by the Division of Water Resources through Certification No. 4119, is consistent with North Carolina's approved coastal management program. State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality I Coastal Management Morehead City Office ( 400 Commerce Avenue I Morehead City, NC 28557 252 8082808 Prior to the initiation of the activities described, the applicant should obtain any required State approvals or authorizations. Should the proposed action be modified, a revised consistency determination could be necessary. This might take the form of either a supplemental consistency determination pursuant to 15 CFR 930.46, or a new consistency determination pursuant to 15 CFR 930.36. Likewise, if further project assessments reveal environmental effects not previously considered by the proposed development, a supplemental consistency certification may be required.
