Dear Mr. Barbour,
NORTH CAROLINA
Environmental Quality
August 19, 2024
This is with reference to the request received by Bryan Hall, Field Representative, to refine State Permit No.
15-16, which was issued to Island Marina Enterprises, LLC. on January 27, 2016, that includes the expansion
and maintenance excavation of an existing basin at 620 St. Joseph St., adjacent to the Carolina Beach Yacht
Basin, in Carolina Beach, New Hanover County. A Letter of Refinement was issued November 18, 2021 for
the installation of two boat lifts in existing slips. The permit has been renewed multiple times since issuance.
State Permit No. 15-16 is due to expire on December 31, 2028.
The action proposed in your request consists of bulkhead repair work to the northern bulkhead in an area
where tie backs have broken allowing the bulkhead wall to bulge waterward as explained in the request dated
received by DCM on August 15, 2024 and the drawings dated received by DCM on August 8, 2024. The
repair work would consist of adding an two rows of additional whalers to the existing wall and to install 17
new pilings between the existing floating dock and bulkhead wall to allow for the installation of 17 "manta ray"
style tie backs to realign the portion of the bulkhead that had begun to fail. All work is proposed within the
authorized marina footprint and there is no proposed change to the existing float docks or boat lifts.
Upon reviewing the information provided, the Division of Coastal Management has determined that the
proposed action is consistent with existing State rules and regulations and is in keeping with the original
purpose and intent of the permit. This Letter of Refinement authorizes the modification of State Permit No.
15-16 as described in the request dated received by DCM on August 15, 2024 and the drawings dated
received by DCM on August 8, 2024. Please note this refinement does not alleviate the need to obtain any
other local, state or federal permits. If you have any questions concerning the above or if I can be of any
other assistance, please advise.

Hi Bryan
This letter is a request for "refinement' of our existing CAMA Permit 14-16 for Island Marina,
620 Saint Joseph St., Carolina Beach, NC 28428. The request is to allow repair of our North
Bulkhead that appears to have broken tie backs that is allowing the top of the bulkhead to drift
inward in 2 locations. The bulkhead wall is constructed with the Vinyl type sheets currently
used today. It is in good condition and will not require replacing. Additional Whaler bands,
Manta Ray tiebacks and pilings will be installed as indicated on the drawing. The repair will stop
the drift inward of the Bulkhead top, realigning the bulkhead and reinforce the full length of the
bulkhead.
Please let me know if you need any further information.
Regards,
Dennis Barbour
