Request for More Information
Dear Mr. Barnes:
In reply to your letter of May 7, 2009 to Currituck County, Whalehead Club wherein you
requested additional information in order to process subject application, VHB offers the
following:
Additional Information Requested
1. Avoidance and Minimization
Through discussions with the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries, there is
a concern that the shoreline stabilization control structures are excessive as
compared to typical sills in the coastal region. The Division would like to see the
structure base width be reduced to eight feet in base width and no more than one
foot in height above NWI. This reduction in base width would reduce impacts to
shallow water habitat. Please submit information as to why this request cannot be
achieved or submit project plan modification.
Response:
Following our meeting with you at The Whalehead Club on July 8, 2009, we re-
evaluated the dimensions of the proposed sill structure and were able to make
modifications to lessen the footprint. Those modifications were drafted and
forwarded to you on August 8, 2009, for you r review and consideration. You
indicated in your e-mail of August 17, 2009, that the proposed modifications were
