After review of the proposed lease, 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 Topsail Sound is designated as SA-HQW and PNA, and there is potential for displacement of the shallow bottom area from the use of vessels accessing the lease. 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 # 20170653 on the check since they will be received separate from this application.
