Re: Repair Exemption and/or Letter of Refinement Request, CAMA Permit #41-85 Indigo Plantation
Marina for repair of failed C-Dock concrete marina bulkhead
Dear Ms. MacPherson,
On behalf of Bald Head Island Limited, LLC, I am submitting this request for repair exemption and/or
letter of refinement to repair damage at their Indigo Plantation Marina, Southport, NC. I am including
5 color copies of 11"x17" drawing C-1, seal dated 8-12-18, showing pictures of the failed bulkhead
section, and its approximate length/location.
The harbormaster has already taken safety steps of relocating vessels from the affected area, turning
off of the power to the dock pedestals and cordoning off of the area. The failure occurred on
Saturday, August 11. By Sunday Morning August 12, there was dramatically more bulkead movement.
The C-Dock Docks and Dock Plies seemingly are all that is holding up the bulkhead from catastrophic
collapse. From the pictures, the exposed tiebacks still appear to be intact/in tension. With all of the
recent record rainfall, I believe that the tieback deadmen have been displaced, allowing the
concrete sheet pile wall to rotate and cause breakage/separation of the reinforced concrete cap.
Please note that we may have to take additional emergency measures prior to you processing this
request. As the structural guy, this is ugly. I can see having to temporarily add some timber piles,
quantity unknown, either between the failed bulkhead and the dock, or to the waterside of the dock
to help hold it to hold the bulkhead wall. Fortunately, the damage has/had not involved the marina
chamfer corner. Hopefully that remains the case. Closer inspection may indicate "issues" to the
corner or the entire length along C-Dock.
The NC Building Code in recent years has developed rules/regulations on tieback best practices. Any
new or additional deadmen will probably need to be appx 20' back from the bulkhead (i.e. 20' x 1 1/,"
diameter galvanized steel, sloped tiebacks). A permit condition of 41-85 is for no excavation or fill in a
wetland. The Indigo Marina Permit did not have the 20' maintenance/access buffer that our newer
1996 Deep Point Marina has for its entrance wetlands. I have shown a red hatched area appx 20'
wide from*the backside of the original bulkhead line on C-1. We may need 25'-30'to properly install
new deadmen and not drive over the tiebacks while straightening up the wall. Hopefully some or
most of the wall can be re-used, but being initially cautious, I am semi-preparing for new concrete
sheets, and definitely a new reinforced concrete cap. Steel sheet pile may be an intermediate step,
especially if a tropical storm or hurricane is predicted.
If you have any questions and/or comments, please call or text me at 910-228-2484 or send me an e-
mail. I will sign and pdf the exemption back to you once you have it prepared.
Respectfully, tttCAR04
