SUBJECT: Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Permit Application Submittals (3) for
Town of Oak Island, at 4905, 4907 & 4909 E Beach Drive, Oak Island,
Brunswick County
Mr. Edwards:
This letter is in response to the above referenced CAMA permit applications (3), which were all
accepted as complete by the Division's Wilmington office on November 9, 2018. Processing of
the applications is ongoing. However, it has been determined that additional information will be
required prior to the Division taking final action on your application. These required items are
summarized below: .
1) The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has requested additional information
by way of the attached USACE letter dated December 17, 2018. Their
correspondence requests additional information be provided that demonstrates
compensatory mitigation for impacts to wetlands.
2) The Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources have submitted an objection
to these three (3) contiguous projects being processed separately. In their
comments submitted on November 20, 2018 they indicated that Sedimentation and
Erosion Control cannot be circumvented by submitting the projects as separate.
Please contact Dan Sams with DEMLR at [phone] to determine if a
Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan will be required.
Therefore, it is necessary that processing of your permit application be placed in abeyance until
such time as you have satisfied the requirements of the USACE and the DEMLR. Once the
USACE and the DEMLR notifies the Division of Coastal Management Major Permits Section in
writing that no further actions are necessary on the part of the applicant, we will resume
processing of your application.

Dear Mr. Edwards:
This letter is in reference to your Department of the Army (DA) permit applications received
November 19, 2018 submitted to the Wilmington District Corps of Engineers (Corps) for the
construction associated with proposed residential development on three lots, within waters
adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean, located at 4905, 4907, and 4909 E. Beach Drive, in Oak Island,
Brunswick County, North Carolina.
This letter further notifies you that your DA permit application is insufficient to fully
evaluate your proposal. The applications did not contain a mitigation statement/plan.
Compensatory mitigation is required for the unavoidable impacts to the aquatic environment.
Please see below for further explanation on each item:
1. Compensatory Mitigation: An appropriate compensatory mitigation plan is required to
fully offset unavoidable impacts to WOUS in accordance with 33 CFR 332 -
Compensatory Mitigation for Losses of Aquatic Resources. The application does not
provide a mitigation statement or plan.
Once the mitigation proposal is determined by the Corps to be appropriate, the mitigation plan
must contain the elements described at 33 CFR 332.4(c)(2) through (c)(14).
Additionally, please note the preference for purchasing mitigation bank credits tQ IVE®
impacts at 33 CFR 332.3(b). If mitigation bank credit purchase is not proposed, e
justification for utilizing other forms of mitigation should be provided. DEC 18 2013
