MEMORANDUM
TO: Cameron Luck
Division of Coastal Management
North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality
FROM: Maria T. Dunn,Coastal Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Division
DATE: June 16,2022
SUBJECT: CAMA Dredge/Fill Permit Application for New Jack Partners,LLC,New
Hanover County,North Carolina.
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission(NCWRC)reviewed the permit
application with regard to impacts on fish and wildlife resources. The project site is located at 4601/4607
New Jack Road adjacent to Masonboro Sound in Wilmington,NC. Our comments are provided in
accordance with provisions of the Coastal Area Management Act(G.S. 113A-100 through 113A-128), as
amended, Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act, as amended,the Endangered Species Act of
1973,as amended(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.),the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act(48 Slat.401,as
amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.),the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act
(FCMA),as amended(16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.),and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act(16 U.S.C. 703-712 et
seq.).
The applicant proposes to create a community docking facility to accommodate five vessels.The two
existing parcels will be subdivided into five residential lots that are to have an easement preventing
additional piering(at the time of application review,the easement has not been recorded). An existing two
slip structure will be removed and a 64.6' by 6'pier would extend towards Masonboro Sound(465.9'
over open water)terminating with a 20' by 20' covered gazebo. Landward the gazebo, a fixed 86' by 6'
T-head with two fixed finger piers would accommodate slips 1-4 with boatlifts. Extending south from the
pier would be a 31' by 8' floating landing dock and kayak launch. The docking facility would be in water
depths ranging from 0' to-4'NLW,the floating dock in depths-3'to-4' NLW,and the slips—4' NLW.
The pier will extend over an area that has had historical use as a small channel.NCDCM staff have
recommended a bridge section be incorporated approximately 170' waterward the edge of the waterbody
to preserve historical navigation. Masonboro Sound is classified SA-ORW by the Environmental

Management Commission and is designated a primary nursery area(PNA)by the NC Division of Marine
Fisheries(NCDMF).
The NCWRC has reviewed the permit application. To minimize impacts to PNA resources and public
trust use,we recommend the following:
• An April 1—September 30 moratorium to minimize impacts to sensitive PNA resources from
removal of the existing facility and construction of the long pier and community dock over
wetlands and open waters.
• The incorporation of a bridge component within the pier to allow traditional navigation use for
the small channel. This bridge component should provide adequate height clearance and width for
vessel passage under normal water conditions.
• The easement preventing additional piering on the remaining shore should be recorded by the
applicant prior to permit issuance.
We appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on this permit application.If you need further
assistance or additional information,please contact me at(252) 948-3916 or at
