PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to add an 8' by 40' floating dock to the waterward end of
an existing pier on the Cape Fear River.
Mack Johnson

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The applicant, Mr. Johnson, is the owner of a private home in The Landing Subdivision in Southport,
Brunswick County. The Landing Subdivision is located off of East Moore Street, north of the downtown
area and south of the Southport Ferry Terminal.
Mr. Johnson has an existing home situated on a .61 acre lot at 6252 Inlet Watch Drive off of Peeble Shore
Lane. The lot borders the Cape Fear River. The shoreline of the lot is 100' wide and natural with federal
wetlands separating the high ground from the shoreline of the River.
In September of 2001, Mr. Johnson obtained a CAMA General Permit (#28212-D) which authorized
construction of a private pier with 2 uncovered boat lifts at the waterward end. The structure was
subsequently built in accordance with the General Permit. However, due to the shallow near-shore water
depths, Mr. Johnson is able to utilize the boat lifts only near high tide. He is herein requesting to add an 8'
by 40' floating dock waterward of the existing boat lifts. The purported water depth at mean low water at
the end of the proposed floating dock is 28". The floating dock could be used to moor the boats until the tide
rose enough to get the vessels safely back into the existing lifts. The two existing uncovered boat lifts and
the proposed 40' long floating dock would provide potential dockage for at least four boats with a possibility
for up to six boats, depending upon the size of boats. The proposed overall length of the walkway/pier/dock
structure is 306'. The length of the proposed structure would not exceed 1/4 width of the open water body,
which is very wide in this location. The proposed structure would be approximately 25' to 30' longer than
the adjacent pier. The additional boat slips (more than 2) has required that this project be reviewed through
the CAMA Major Permit process. -
The area where the existing pier and boat lifts are located has been designated as public trust and estuarine
waters by the Division of Coastal Management. The waters of the Cape Fear River in this area have been
classified as SC by the Division of Water Quality. The waters are closed to shellfishing and are not Primary
Nursery Areas. Water depths near the shoreline are shallow but get very deep near the shipping channel.
ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
Impacts from this project will include the shading of approximately 405 square feet of estuarine and public
trust waters where the proposed ramp and floating dock would be situated. The floating dock would add 320
square feet of dockage and 57' of length to the existing pier structure. The proposed dock will provide
opportunity for more boat slips in the water. No, high ground or wetlands should be impacted as a result of
this project. There could be some temporary shallow bottom impacts and increased turbidity resulting
during installation of the proposed float. There should be no impacts to navigation.
