15A NCAC 07K .0203 PRIVATE BULKHEADS: RII'RAP: AND PIERS EXEMPTED
(a) The NC Coastal Resources Commission hereby exempts from the Coastal Area Management Act permit requirement work in
the estuarine shoreline, public trust shoreline, and public trust waters areas of environmental concern necessary to maintain,
repair, and construct private bulkheads with backfill, and to place riprap material along shorelines, and construct piers or mooring
facilities in waters of North Carolina. This exemption is subject to the following conditions and limitations:
(1) The activities exempted by this Rule shall be private, non-commercial activities conforming to the standards
and conditions contained in this Rule. This exemption does not apply to development associated with
multi -unit residential developments larger than duplexes or to marinas, commercial harbors, community or
neighborhood boat access, fish houses or similar commercial activities.
(2) This exemption is applicable only along estuarine and public trust shorelines void of wetland vegetation types
described in G.S. 113-229, or where all construction is to be accomplished landward of such vegetation, or
where the pier is elevated above said wetlands.
(3) This exemption only applies to bulkheads, riprap, and piers in non -oceanfront areas.
(4) This exemption does not eliminate the need to obtain any other required federal, state, or local authorization.
(5) Before beginning any work under this exemption the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
representative must be notified of the proposed activity to allow on -site review of the bulkhead, riprap
material, or pier alignment. Notification may be by telephone, in person, or in writing. Notification must
include:
(A) the name, address, and telephone number of landowner and location of work including county,
nearest community, and water body;
(B) the dimensions of the proposed pier, bulkhead with backfill, or the area dimensions to be covered by
placement of riprap material;
(C) confirmation that a written statement has been obtained, signed by the adjacent riparian property
owners, indicating that they have no objections to the proposed work. (These statements do not have
to be presented at the time of notification of intent to perform work, but the permittee must make it
available to CRC agents at their request.)
(6) The landowner must agree to perform the work authorized in this Rule in a manner so as to conform with
standards for development in the estuarine or public trust shoreline area of environmental concern.
(b) Bulkheads and Riprap: Conditions
(1) The permittee shall maintain structure of areas of riprap material authorized in this Rule in good condition.
(2) Bulkhead with backfill, and placement of riprap material exempted by this Rule shall be limited to a maximum
shoreline length of 200 feet.
(3) The bulkhead backfill and riprap materials must be obtained from an upland source.
(4) No excavation is exempted under this Rule except that which may be required for installation of the riprap,
bulkhead wall, deadmen, cables, or pilings.
(5) The proposed bulkhead alignment or area for placement of riprap material must be staked or flagged by the
landowner in consultation with, or approved by, a state or federal permit officer prior to any construction
activity. The bulkhead must be positioned so as not to extend more than an average distance of two feet
waterward of the normal high water line or normal water line; in no place shall the bulkhead be more than five
feet waterward of the normal high water line or normal water line. Construction activities must begin 90 days
after approval of the alignment or area.
(6) The bulkhead must be solid structure constructed of treated wood, concrete slabs, metal sheet piles, corrugated
asbestos sheeting, or similar materials. A structure made of organic material, tires, car bodies, or similar
materials is not considered a bulkhead.
(7) The bulkhead must be structurally tight so as to prevent seepage of backfill materials through the bulkhead.
The bulkhead must be constructed prior to any backfilling activities.
(8) Riprap material must consist of clean rock or masonry materials such as marl, brick, or broken concrete.
Materials such as tires, car bodies, scrap metal, paper products, tree limbs, wood debris, organic material or
similar material are not considered riprap.
(c) Piers: Conditions
(1) Exemptions for pier construction along natural shorelines are available only for lots with shoreline lengths 75
feet or greater. Exemptions may be used on shorelines in human -made canals and basins regardless of
shoreline length.
(2) Piers and mooring facilities must not exceed 100 feet in total length off -shore; must not be within 150 feet of
the edge of a federally maintained channel; must not extend past the four foot normal low water contour line

(four foot depth at normal low water) of the water body; must not exceed six feet in width; must not include an
enclosed structure; and must not interfere with established navigation rights of other users of the water body
and must have a minimum setback of 15 feet between any part of the pier and the adjacent property owners'
areas of riparian access. The line of division of areas of riparian access shall be established by drawing a line
along the channel or deep water in front of the properties, then drawing a line perpendicular to the line of the
channel so that it intersects with the shore at the point the upland property line meets the water's edge. The
four foot normal low water restriction shall not apply to piers constructed in canals and basins dredged from
areas above normal high water (NHW) or normal water level (NWL).
(3) This exemption shall not apply to docks and piers being built within shellfish franchises or leases unless the
applicant for authorization to construct can provide written confirmation of no objections to the proposal from
the lessee.
(4) Piers authorized by this exemption shall be for the exclusive use of the land owner, and shall not provide either
leased or rented docking space or any other commercial services. Piers and mooring facilities designed to
provide docking space for more than two boats shall, because of their greater potential for adverse impacts, be
reviewed through the permitting process, and, therefore, are not authorized by this exemption.
(5) Piers and docks shall in no case extend more than 1 /4 the width of a natural water body, canal or basin.
Measurements to determine widths of the water body, canals or basins shall be made from the waterward edge
of any coastal wetland vegetation which borders the water body. The I/4 length limitation shall not apply
when the proposed pier is located between longer piers within 200 feet of the applicant's property. However,
the proposed pier shall not be longer than the pier head line established by the adjacent piers, nor longer than
1 /3 the width of the water body.
(6) Any portion of a pier (either fixed or floating) extending from the main structure and six feet or less in width
shall be considered either a "T" or a finger pier.
(7) Any portion of a pier (either fixed or floating) greater than six feet wide shall be considered a platform or deck.
(8) "T"s, finger piers, platforms, and decks of piers must not exceed a combined total area of 200 square feet.
(9) Platforms and decks shall have no more than six feet of any dimension extending over coastal wetlands and
shall be elevated at least three feet above any coastal wetland substrate as measured from the bottom of the
decking.
