Dear Ms. Beaman:
Reference your application for a Department of the Army permit to construct a new
private docking facility. The proposed 6-slip facility will extend waterward towards Myrtle
Grove Sound from the northeastern portion of the property within waters adjacent to the property
at 1833 Avalon Avenue, adjacent to Masonboro Sound and the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway
(AIWW) in New Hanover County.
The project includes a fixed pier that measures approximately 850 feet in length by 6 feet
in width. The pier spans 790 feet from its landward origin in a south east direction, and then
turns slightly further south-southeast for the remaining 60 feet span towards the water. The pier
will then land on a covered 18' by 18' gazebo. On the waterward side of the proposed gazebo, a
65 feet long by 6 feet wide fixed access dock will extend to the south from the gazebo. The fixed
access dock will include three separate 30 feet long by 4 feet wide finger piers located
perpendicular to the access dock and extending waterward towards the AIWW. Each of the three
finger piers will include a 12.5 feet by 12.5 feet boat lift on the northern side and southern side of
each finger, providing for six (6) slips.
Your proposal has been reviewed and found to be consistent with the provisions and
objectives of the CAMA-Corps Programmatic Permit process, via Regional General Permit 291
(copy attached), for construction activities that receive authorization from the State of North
Carolina. Therefore, you may commence construction activity in strict accordance with the
applicable State authorization, attached Federal special conditions, RGP-291 conditions and the
approved plan. Failure to comply with the State authorization or conditions of the Federal permit
could result in civil and/or administrative penalties.
If any change in your work is required because of unforeseen or altered conditions or for
any other reason, plans revised to show the change must be sent promptly to this office and the
North Carolina Division of Coastal Management prior to performing any such change or
alteration. Such action is necessary as revised plans must be reviewed and the authorization
modified.
