Dear Mr. Lowe:
The enclosed permit constitutes authorization under the Coastal Area
Management Act and where applicable, the State Dredge and Fill Law, for you
to proceed with your project proposal. The original (yellow form) of the
permit is retained for your files and must be available on -site when the
project is inspected for compliance. Please sign both the original and the
copy and return the copy to this office in the enclosed envelope at your
earliest convenience. Signing the permit and proceeding indicates your
agreement with the conditioned permit. This act also means you have waived
your right of appeal described below.
If you object to the permit, as conditioned, you may request an appeal
hearing before the Coastal Resources Commission pursuant to NCGS 113A-122 or
113-229. Such hearing must be requested within twenty (20) days of your re-
ceipt of this letter. You should also be aware that, by law, if another
qualified party submits a valid objection to the issuance of this permit with-
in twenty (20) days the objection must be resolved prior to work initiation.

plication. Modifications, time extensions and future maintenance require
additional approval. Please read your permit carefully prior to starting
work and review all project plans, as approved. If you are having the work
done by a contractor, it would be to your benefit to be sure that he fully
understands all permit requirements.
From time to time Department personnel will visit the project site. How-
ever, if questions arise concerning permit conditions, environmental safeguards,
or problem areas you may contact Department personnel at any time for assis-

Reference Department of the Army permit SAWCO83-N-065-0193
issued October 3, 1983, to Mr. Ed Lowe, Masonboro Boatyard and
Marina, Inc., which authorized maintenance and enlargement of
existing marina facilities on Whiskey Creek and the Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway southeast of Wilmington, New Hanover County,
North Carolina.
The permittee; by recent letter and plan (copies enclosed);
has requested modification of his permit to authorize excavation of
an additional area in the southeast corner of the existing marina
basin. This area measures 30 feet wide and approximately
180 feet long and was the site of the primary fixed pier which was
destroyed by a.storm in September 1984. An additional 1,600 cubic.
yards of material would be excavated by hydraulic dredge and
deposited in the existing authorized spoil area east of the marina.
The purpose of the proposed work is to allow realignment and
straightening of the fixed pier during reconstruction.
Please review the enclosed plan and provide any comments you
may have. Because the contractor is now onsite working on the
authorized maintenance excavation, we would like to take final
action on this modification request by November 10, 1984. If you
have any questions, please contact Mr. Steven Lund, Regulatory
Branch, at telephone [phone].

I request that my permit be modified to authorize the additional work
by the enclosed plans. The property on which the work is located and/or
which is adjacent to the water area affected by the work is owned by me.
The recent hurricane "Diana" destroyed our existing covered boat sheds
and attached fixed docks. Since I must completely rebuild the facilities,
I am requesting additional dredging (+ 600 cy) that was approved in my.
? first original permit SAWKS #40-69 dated July 3, 1969 and a new docking
alignment that will enable me to have a more manageable marina area.. I
foung myself in the position of being financially unable to do this original
dredging at the time and the layout of the marina did not require it then.
The proposed alignment is within the present permit limits with the
exception of an area 15' x 1701, which is the section that was approved
in my original permit, that requires removal by dredging in order for
our stationary dock to be serviceable.
Sincerely,
Q

Dear Mr. Parker:
INC. •
Phone [phone]
In early October we contacted Mr. Bob Stroud of your Wilmington Field
Office, with a proposal to modify expansion plans previously authorized
by CAMA Permit No. 131-83. Accompanying this proposal were several drawings
dated September 1984. The specific request was to dredge a portion
of oyster bank 15' x 170' in size (2550sf), to facilitate layout of new
docks. We understand that you feel this constitutes an increase in
"new dredging" over that allowed in our permit; and that such at, increase
is unacceptable.
We propose to offset this 2550 sf by deleting an area of comparable
size (already authorized by the permit) in a different location. To be
specific, we would elimidate an area of 30' x 60' (2400 sf) which we had
intended to dredge behind our repair shop. This area comprises two boat
slips and their accessway as shown on a drawing labeled "May 1983, Sheet A
of E. Supplement to 5 sheets dated August 82,11which is a part of
Permit No. 131-83. The slips mentioned are the two southernmost as shown
on the drawing.
We hope that this will be a satisfactory compromise; permission to do
this would certainly facilitate lay -out and construction of our docks.
And, as always, we're in a rush! Anything you can do to expedite this
request will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
MASONBORO

M E M O R A N D U M
TO: John Parker
FROM: Bob Stroud V�to
SUBJECT: Minor Modification to Permit #131-83
E. G. Lowe (for Masonboro Boatyard and Marina, Inc.)
DATE: October 19, 1984
The attached plans represent a request by Mr. Lowe to to slightly modify
the configuration of his basin in order to straighten out the southeast
corner of the basin. This area is approximately 15' wide x 200' long.
Due to the shape the area is approximately 2,.500,sq.,ft. The proposed
excavation would disturb a small oyster rock'.
I have checked the area with Rich Carpenter, Division of Marine Fisheries,
concerning the site and the oyster rocks. He has no objections to the
new excavation and recommends that the oysters be relocated to the rocks
in Whiskey Creek just north of the existing marina basin.
Hurricane Diana devastated his existing marina. Therefore he has pro-
posed the new dock plan as shown on Sheet 1 of 2. This plan does not
enlarge the basic marina design and the total slip number is the same
as the recently permitted amount (105).
I have discussed this plan with Charles Jones and Preston Pate. Upon
their advice and guidance we recommend that this request be handled as
a minor modification.
We recommend that in addition to the original conditions the following
additional condition be added:
In order to minimize the loss of oyster resources those
organisms growing within the proposed work area must be
relocated to an approved rock under the direction of the 0 C,M
Division of Marine Fisheries..
If there are any questions concerning the above, please advise.

Mr. E. G. Lowe
Masonboro Boatyard Marina, Inc.

Wilmington, NC 28403
Dear Mr. Lowe:
This letter is with reference to your request for a Coastal
Area Management Act (CAM&) Major Development Permit and a State
Dredge and Fill Permit to expand the marina basin at the Masonboro
Boatyard and Marina site at Whiskey Creek in New Hanover County.
Processing of your application, including onsite investigation
and/or plan review by cooperating state and Federal agencies, is now
complete. Based on this review this office has made the following
findings:
1) Whiskey Creek is classified by the Division of Marine Fisheries
as a primary nursery area (Re: 15 NCAC 3B .1400),
2) the entire marina area including the area of open shallow water
proposed to be excavated under the expansion is located in the
Whiskey Creek nursery area,
3) the area of new work, i.e., the proposed expansion is .59
acres in size,
4) excavation to a depth that would accomodate large pleasure
boats, i.e., approximately -8' MLW constitutes a permanent loss
to the shallow water nursery system,
5) the proposal is inconsistent with Coastal Resources Commission
Rule NCAC 7H .0208(b)(5)(A) which states that marinas requiring
dredging shall not be located in primary nursery areas.
Based on the foregoing findings, it is necessary that your request
for marina expansion by excavation be denied.. This denial is pursuant
to N. C. G. S. 113-229(e)(5) which provides for denial if it is found
that the project will have an adverse impact on marine resources; and
N. C. G.1S...113A-120(8) which requires denial should it be found that
the proposal is inconsistent with state guidelines and once it is
determined that a permit under 113-229 would be denied.

Maintenance permit #131-83 could be issued to you on September 13th :
because the active marina area of Whiskey Creek had'been previously altered.
Coastal Resources Commission Rules provide for a case -by -case decision on
such maintenance requests. Even though that work can be carried out,the
permit nevertheless includes several nursery area safeguards such as the .
summer dredging moratorium. The,area designated as new work to which this
denial applies retains the characteristics of unspoiled nursery habitat
and provides that function, so vital to the overall welfare of the Whiskey
Creek system.
If you wish to appeal this action, you are entitled to a quasi-judicial
hearing before the Coastal Resources Commission as provided by the Coastal
Area Management Act. Request for a hearing must be'submitted in writing
within twenty (20) days of the date you receive this letter. Mr. Ralph Cantral,
Chief of the Implementation and Enforcement Section at 733-2293, is available
to discuss the appeal procedure with.you.
incerely,
