Subject: RE: Proposed Shellfish Water Column Amendment Lease Review — James Morris
Marla,
Good morning. There appears to be a potential shallow bottom impact and potential SAV habitat due to the limited
water depth at low tide. This area of Nelson Bay is designated as SA-HQW and SNA, and there is potential for
displacement of the shallow bottom area from the use of vessels accessing the lease; however, this area of Nelson Bay
appears to be currently usurped with existing leases. If the US Army Corps of Engineers issues NW 48 for this
proposal, this will require written approval under our General Certification No. 4091
http://edocs.deg.nc.gov/WaterResources/0/doc/493433/Page1.aspx . The application fee will be $240 once the lease is
approved and prior to issuance of the 401 approval letter. Please have the applicant include the DWR project #
201706661 on the check since they will be received separate from this application.
Thanks and feel free to let me know if you have any questions,

Subject: Proposed Shellfish Water Column Amendment Lease Review—James Morris
Good morning,
The Division of Marine Fisheries has received an application from James Morris, of Sea Level, for a 2.54 -acre
Water Column Amendment (WC 1911437) to existing BL 9510 in Nelson Bay, Carteret County for the purpose
of utilization for shellfish aquaculture. Attached are the following documents to assist with the review: review
questions, original application and a map of the proposed lease location.
To more fully evaluate other factors which may affect the possible issuance of this lease, it is requested that
Marine Patrol, Fisheries Management and Shellfish Sanitation complete the attached review
form. Amendments to existing Bottom Leases do not meet the requirement for review under the joint
application to the US Army Corp of Engineers Nationwide Permit 48. Division sections; please return forms
and comments via email to.Marla.Chuffo@ncdenr.gov by June 20th. North Carolina General Statute 113-202
requires comments to be evaluated by the DMF director and if approved to post two legal notices and hold a
public hearing during at the end of a 30 -day public comment period. We appreciate your prompt review of
this proposed shellfish lease.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration in this matter. If you have any questions, please feel
free to contact Mike Graven at (252) 808-8061 or Michael.Graven@ncdenr.gov.
