and specifically set forth in the permit application. No other structure, whether floating or stationary,
shall become a permanent part of this docking facility without permit modification. No non-water

modification.

2) No sewage, whether treated or untreated, shall be discharged at any time from any boats using the

reflectors shall be attached to the structure in order to make it more visible during hours of darkness or

5) No attempt shall be made by the permittee to prevent the full and free use by the public of all navigable
waters at or adjacent to the authorized work.

which may be caused from existing or future operations undertaken by the United States in the public
interest.

8) It is possible that the authorized structure may be damaged by wave wash from passing vessels. The
issuance of this permit does not relieve the permittee from taking all proper steps to ensure the integrity
of the permitted structure and the safety of moored boats. The permittee shall not hold the state of North
Carolina or the United States liable for any such damage.

9) No portion of the permitted structure shall be located within 80 feet of the near bottom edge of the

removal, relocation, or other alteration of the structure or work authorized by this permit, or if in the
opinion of the Secretary of the Army or his authorized representative, said structure or work shall cause
unreasonable obstruction to free navigation of the navigable waters, the permittee shall be required,
upon due notice from the Corps of Engineers, to remove, relocate or alter the structural work or
obstructions caused thereby, without expense to the United States or the state of North Carolina. No
claim shall be made against the United States or the state of North Carolina on account of any such
