Subject: FW: Blake Farms - CAMA Consistency Determination
Hi, Daniel.
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.

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.

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. If you have any questions, please
contact me at 252-808-2808 x233. Thank you for your consideration of the North Carolina
Coastal Management Program.
Sincerely,
