Longitude: -77.772683
Location description: The site is located in Waters adjacent to the AIWW at 2016 and 2020 Deep Creek Run, Wilmington, New
Hanover County, North Carolina.
Description of project area and activity: The proposal is to construct a new private docking facility with 2 slips at 2016 Deep
Creek Run and expand the existing docking facility at 2020 Deep Creek Run to accommodate up to 4 slips for a total of 6 slips
between the two parcels owned by the applicant. The new private docking facility at the 2016 Deep Creek Run parcel will
include a 6' wide by 26' long fixed access pier extending from the retaining wall into the boat basin perpendicular to the
shoreline. The access pier would span some uplands and therefore approximately only a 6' by 20' pier will extend below NHW.
An access ramp will extend from the north side of the fixed pier parallel to the shoreline onto a 6' by 48' floating dock also
positioned parallel to the shoreline.
For the dock at 2020 Deep Creek Run, the existing floating dock to the north will be enlarged from 6' by 40.5' to 6' by 44'. A
new floating dock extending to the south will be 6' by 34'.
Please note, a Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) permit authorization must be obtained from the North
Carolina Division of Coastal Management (DCM) prior to commencing any work on this project.
