MEMORANDUM
NORTH CAROLINA
Environmental Quality
TO: Curt Weychert
Assistant Major Permits Coordinator, Wilmington
FROM: Tara MacPherson
District Manager, Wilmington
DATE: February 24, 2021
SUBJECT: Minor modification request State Permit No. 44-07,
Northern Riverfront Marina, Wilmington, New Hanover
Mr. Steve Morrison with Land Management Group, Inc. and acting agent for Northern Riverfront Marina
and Hotel, LLC (also known as Port City Marina) is requesting to modify State Pen -nit No. 44-07. State
Permit No. 44-07 was originally issued to Riverfront Marina c/o City Mariana of Wilmington, LLC on
March 30, 2007 for the redevelopment of the old Almont Shipping Terminal site along the Northeast Cape
Fear River. State Permit No. 44-07 was modified on October 9, 2012 to allow revision of the authorized
dredging depth within the marina basin and the on -site disposal handling plan, and reconfiguration of a
section of bulkhead on the north end of the project. A Letter of Refinement to State Permit No. 44-07 was
issued on November 7, 2013, which authorized the reconfiguration of the authorized stormwater
management of the site in the location of Harnett Street. The permit was modified on November 9, 2015
for upland development changes and an expansion of the authorized dredge footprint and was modified
again on January 14, 2021 for a new spoil disposal site. Permit No. 44-07 was renewed on January 7,
2020 and is currently due to expire on December 31, 2021.
Mr. Morrison states the applicant is requesting modification to the existing permit for the completion of
Phase 2 of the marina project. According to the proposal, the modification would consist of rearranging
the existing 114 slips completed during Phase 1 with the addition of 80 boat slips within the authorized
marina basin footprint. The new configuration would retain 32 transient boatslips as required by State
Permit No. 44-07 (see Conceptual Dock Layout Option IV A dated rec'd 1/22/21). The new configuration
would result in the addition of 80 boatslips for a total of 194 slips plus two additional transient slips on
the outer T-head of A -dock. The marina currently has authorization for up to 204 slips.
The proposed reconfiguration is within the existing marina footprint (see Conceptual Dock Layout Option
W B dated reed 1/30/21 and Conceptual Dock Layout Option IV C dated reed on 2/18/21). A -dock was
never constructed. An approximately 486 ft. long by 9 ft. wide pier is proposed with 40 triangular shaped
floating docks that are 53 sq. ft. each. One 150 sq. ft. transformer platform is proposed on the

southern side of the pier about half way down the pier. A T-head measuring approximately 111 ft. long
by 18 ft. wide is proposed at the terminal and of A -dock providing 2 transient slips for boaters. A -dock
will provide 43 new permanent boatslips. B-dock was previously constructed with 27 boatslips and would
be expanded to accommodate 25 additional slips for a total of 52 boatslips. According to the applicant,
slips 11-19 on B-dock would be reserved for transient boaters. B-dock will be extended approximately
160 ft. towards the Cape Fear River (CFR) with 14 new fingers piers on the southern side measuring 30
ft. long by 3 ft. wide. The northern side of the pier would be expanded with 10 new finger piers measuring
50 ft_ long by 5 ft. wide. The new T-head would measure 90 ft. long by 10 ft. wide. C-dock is proposed
to be expanded to accommodate an additional 6 slips for a total of 40 permanent boatslips. The existing
10 ft. wide pier would be extended approximately 100 ft. towards the CFR. Two additional finger piers
would be installed on the southern side of the pier extension measuring 48 ft. long by 5 ft. wide. Three
additional finger piers would be installed on the northern side of the extended pier measuring 60 ft. long
by 6 ft. wide. D-dock would be reduced by 4 slips for a total of 22 permanent boatslips. According to the
applicant, D-dock would shift 20 ft. landward towards the existing bulkhead. Four new forger piers are
proposed on the northern side measuring 60 ft. long by 6 ft. wide. The new T-head would measure 115
ft. long by 10 ft. wide. E-dock runs along the eastern side of the most northern corner of the bulkhead and
no structures are proposed in this area. E-dock would accommodate 5 side -to transient slips along the
bulkhead. F-dock is proposed to begin on the northern side of the bulkhead adjacent to E-dock. F-dock
would be constructed with a new seating area measuring 60 ft. in length by 24 ft, in width. A 60 ft. long
by 6 ft. wide floating dock would extend to the south from the seating area and an additional 60 ft. long
by 6 ft. wide floating dock would be installed at the terminal end running parallel with the shoreline. F-
dock previously accommodated 4 boatslips. As proposed, 12 additional slips are proposal for a total of
16 transient boatslips. G-dock would still extend along the eastern side of the existing concrete pier and
would accommodate 6 side to boatslips. H-dock and I —dock extend along the remainder of the existing
concrete pier with 2 slips on H-dock and 10 slips on I -dock. There are no additional structures proposed
in this area. Four slips on I -dock are designated exclusively as transient.
It is the staffs recommendation that the proposed reconfiguration appears to be consistent with 15 NCAC
071T_0208 (b)(5) and existing permit conditions that require 32 slips be designated as transient slips.
This office has no objection to the proposed work, provided it is consistent with all other state and federal
permitting requirements. The agent has submitted a check (414477) in the amount of $100 for the
modification request.
By copy of this memo, DCM is requesting that the USACE, DWR, DEMLR, City of Wilmington
and NH Co., provide any comment that your agency may have on the proposed project to Curt
Weychert of DCM's Morehead City office within 14 days of receipt of this memo.

Tara,
The triangular pieces are part of the floating dock and would be considered as platforms. The dimensions of
those are 20'-8"x20'x5'-4" or 53.6 square feet each. The one oddly shaped piece about halfway out on the
southern side of A Dock is a transformer platform and measures 20'x10'-4"x20'-8"x 5' or 150 square feet. I hope
this helps. Thanks.

Re: Minor modification request, Port City Marina, CAMA Permit Number 44-07
Dear Tara,
On behalf of Northern Waterfront Marina & Hotel, LLLC, 1 am requesting a minor
modification of their CAMA permit number 44-07. The modification consists of the
rearrangement of boat slips within their man-made marina basin within the limits of their
authorized original 204 slip project. Phase 1 of the marina as completed features 114 slips.
Following the completion of this Phase 2, the marina will feature 194 slips.
The attached materials provide details regarding the proposed revision. They include
spreadsheets showing the existing and future linear footage of dockage, the existing and
future slip count per dock with totals, the proposed dock layout drawing, the numbered slip
count layout and a copy of the latest renewal of CAMA permit number 44-07. A hard copy of
these materials with the $100 modification fee check made out to NCDEQ will be hand
delivered to your office. Please contact me with any questions that you may have. Thank you
for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Steve Morrison
Environmental Consultant
