Ms. J c.nvjn said the propo->ul to
open Aaiers up to mainte
nance dredging would not affect the
state commission's policy that says
dredging in primary nursery areas
should be avoided.
Under ihc proposal, four condi
uons would have to be met before
dredging would be allowed in pri
mary nursery areas:
1; Applicants must demonstrate
and document that a water-depen
dent need exists for excavation to
he approved.
2) There already must be a chan
nel that was constructed or main
tained under permits issued by the
state or federal government. If a
natural channel was in use or a
man-made channel was constructed
before permits were required, there
must be evidence that the channel
was continuously used for a specific
purpose.
3) Dredge material can be re
moved and placed in an approved
disposal area without significantly
impacting adjacent nursery areas.
4; The original width and depth
will not be increased to allow a new
or expanded use of the channel.
In a related matter, CRC mem
bers will discuss a proposal to
change the definition of primary
nursery areas.
I'nder the current definition,
rules for nurseries only apply to
those designated by the N.C.
Marine Fisheries Commission. The
r.ew definition also would cover in
_r i primary nur>cry areas desig
r _::o by the N C. Wildlife Re

A second public hearing will be
held Thursday on a proposal to in
crease fees for some CAMA per
mits and raise civil pcnaUies for
people who violate conditions of
their permits. according to Ms.
Johnson.
The fee lor a general CAMA per
mit would increase from nothing to
S25, she said, while the cost of a
major CAMA permit would jump
from SI 00 to S4(X). There is no plan
to change the fees for minor CAMA
permits, which are administered by
local governments.
Ms. Johnson said the proposal al
so calls for an increase in the mini
mum civil penally from $100 to
S250. There is no maximum penal

In other business, the CRC will
hear a status report on maritime for
est protection from Coastal Man
agement staff and review the pre
liminary land use plan update for
Ocean Isle Beach.
The CRC's Implementation and
Standards Committee will consider
a proposal that plans for relocation
or demolition of homes built in
fHxxl-pronc areas be attached to
CAMA permit applications.

book. but. if you have only a
reservation but did not purchase
the ticket, do not expect to
show up on the day of travel
and purchose the ticket Amtrak
gives a ticket purchase date at
the time of reservation and they
mean it. After that purchase
date, with no proof the ticket
was Issued, they will cancel your
reservation At Brunswick Travel,
we can book and ticket Amtrak
through our computerized reser
vations system
If you are traveling by car.
you can save yourself some anx
iety if you know ahead of time
the weather conditions along
the route and at your destina
tion At Brunswick Travel our

tion across the USA and around
