Coastal Management offers Emergency CAMA General Permit for hurricane recovery, tips for speeding up permit process:
Coastal property owners who need to replace docks, piers, bulkheads or similar structures damaged by Hurricane Florence along sounds, rivers and creeks may be authorized to do so more quickly through an emergency general permit offered by the N.C. Division of Coastal Management. The emergency permit expedites the approval process for rebuilding docks, piers, bulkheads and similar water dependent structures that meet state standards. The emergency permit may also be used for dune reconstruction and maintenance dredging of existing channels. The normal $200 permit fee is waived for the emergency permit, and, in many cases, no site visit or adjacent property owner notification is required.
Secretary Regan activated the emergency permit today. It can be used in all 20 coastal counties: Beaufort, Bertie, Brunswick, Camden, Carteret, Chowan, Craven, Currituck, Dare, Gates, Hertford, Hyde, New Hanover, Onslow, Pamlico, Pasquotank, Pender, Perquimans, Tyrell, and Washington.
The permit does not eliminate the need to obtain any other required state, local or federal authorization. To see Regan’s signed activation, go to files.nc.gov/ncdeq/Coastal+Management/documents/2018-09-20-CAMA-Emergency-General-Permit-15A-NCAC....
Emergency permits must be obtained, and all work must be completed, by Sept. 20, 2019.
The emergency permit cannot be used for rebuilding houses and does not apply to the replacement of oceanfront structures.
Those who want to apply for the emergency general permit can help staff with the N.C. Division of Coastal Management review your request as quickly as possible by following these guidelines:
