SUBJECT: Permit Modification Request
CAMA Major Permit No. 91-96
Bald Head Island Limited, LLC, Deep Point Marina, Southport, Brunswick County
Ms. Bruce Marek, acting as agent for Bald Head Island Limited, LLC, is requesting a modification of State Permit No. 91-96. State
Permit No. 91-96 was issued to Bald Head Island, Ltd, on June 3, 1996 for the excavation of an access channel and boat basin, marina
facility with barge and ferry landings, a marine maintenance building, office and storage buildings, and parking. A minor modification
was issued on August 19, 1999 for the addition of riprap and the permit was renewed on December 8, 1999. The permit was again
modified on May 22, 2000 for the expansion of the marina basin and then renewed on February 14, 2002 and February 23, 2004. On
July 16, 2004, it was modified for the addition of additional parking spaces. An amendment was issued on April 27, 2006 to authorize a
name change to Bald Head Island Limited and amended again on September 18, 2006 to change the permit holder's name to Bald Head
Island Limited, LLC. The permit will expire on December 31, 2007.
Mr. Marek is requesting that the permit be modified to increase the excavation depth from -8' to a maximum of -12' MLW
within the marina basin and from -10' to -12' MLW within the entrance channel. The depth of the basin would taper from -11'
MLW at the southern end to a depth of -12' MLW at the basin's northern end. The taper is designed promote flushing. The
dimensions of the excavation will not change, with the exception of depth; as a 4:1 slope would be maintained and the -12' depth
would occur 40' off the marina's bulkhead (per Mr. Marek's calculations).
The applicant has submitted a check (ck. X 1250) in the amount of $100.00 for the modification request. Mr. Marek has withdrawn
his request to increase the permitted dredge depth of the channel and basin in this request
This Office has no objection to the permit modification request.

Re: CAMA Permit #91-96 Minor Modification Request to Increase Depth in Deep Point Marina,
Southport, NC,
Dear Ms. Coats:
Please use the previously submitted five copies of drawing DPM-1 dated & sealed 7-9-07, for the Bald
Head Island Limited, LLC owned Deep Point Marina plus check #1250 for $100 that you already are
holding for return to the Bald Head Island Limited, LLC Planning Department in order to split the marina
deepening out from the 22 item minor mod that I submitted on July 9.
This is a request to change the excavated (dredged) depth of the Deep Point Marina Entrance
Channel from -10' MLW to -12' MLW, and the excavated (dredged) depth of the Deep Point Marina
Basin from -B' MLW to -1 V MLW at the southern end, sloping to an excavated (dredged) depth of -12'
at the south end of the Fuel Dock. See Drawing. The Cape Fear River Shipping Channel, which has a
purported dredged depth of -42', is only 200 to 300 yards from the jetty entrance. This request is similar
to my CAMA#41-85 Minor Modification approved March 19, 2007 for the Indigo Plantation Marina.
Over the years, the Bald Head Island ferries have increased in size, and they now have a pair of 82' x
28' catamaran passenger ferries, which draw approximately 7' in draft to the propeller tips when fully
loaded at their current 149 passenger capacities. In the future, when the Deep Point shoreside ferry
terminals are upgraded to meet U.S. Coast Guard port security requirements, these vessels will have a
passenger capacity of as many as 277 passengers and added draft of .3' to .4'.
The requested deeper channel and marina depth is for passenger safety for the passenger ferries, as
well as operational safety for the barge service and larger vessels berthing or fueling at the Deep Point
Marina. This marina is just off of the Cape Fear River Shipping Channel, which has a dredged depth of
42'. Larger yachts may find this as a convenient place for safe haven in a storm. Our ferries and
barge have sat out a few of the minor hurricanes and tropical storms here without incident.
Note that per engineering standards, bottom profile from the marina bulkheads is usually designated
at a 4H:1V slope or shallower. Assuming a mudline elevation of approximate 0' to-3'MLW, the
requested depth of -12' occurs at about 40' from the marina walls. My drawing uses 0' MLW. This in
essence, puts the max permitted depth at the fairways and in the ferry docking areas. However,
because of propwash from the ferries, the 12' draft near the ferry docks will occur closer to the
bulkhead. Operational,, marina_bgsin_ will be to the onsite spoil basin outside..of the 75' AEC.

Additionally, when the minor mod is completed, please have copies faxed to 910-457'7463 & 457-
