Dear Mr. Petrilla:
Reference your January 10, 2014 request for a Department of the Army (DA) authorization
to re- construct a docking facility at 4 Sunset Avenue, adjacent to Banks Channel, in Wrightsville
Beach, New Hanover County, North Carolina.
On March 16, 2005, we renewed general permit No. 197800056, (copy enclosed), that
authorizes the maintenance, repair, construction and installation of piers, docks, boathouses and
boat shelters, mooring piles, dolphins, jetties and breakwater structures in navigable waters of the
United States in the State of North Carolina pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act
of 1899.
Your work is authorized provided it is accomplished in strict accordance with your submitted
plans, the enclosed general conditions and the following special condition:
1. In order to further protect the endangered West Indian Manatee, Trichechus manatus, the
applicant must implement the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Manatee Guidelines, and
strictly adhere to all requirements therein. The guidelines can be found at
http: / /www.fws.gov /nc -es /mammal /manatee_guidelines.pdf.
Your proposed work is authorized if you can comply with all permit conditions. Please
read the enclosed permit to prevent an unintentional violation of Federal law. As this
Department of the Army regional general permit does not relieve you of the responsibility to
obtain any other required approvals, you should contact appropriate State and local agencies
before beginning work.
