General Permit No. 197800056
Name of Permittee: General Public
Effective Date: January 1, 2011
Expiration Date: December 31, 2016
DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY
GENERAL (REGIONAL) PERMIT
A general permit to perform work in or affecting navigable waters of the United States and
waters of the United States, upon recommendation of the Chief of Engineers, pursuant to Section
10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of March 3, 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403), and Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344), is hereby modified and renewed by authority of the Secretary
of the Army by
District Commander
U.S. Army Engineer District, Wilmington
Corps of Engineers
69 Darlington Avenue
Wilmington, North Carolina 28403- 1343
TO MAINTAIN, REPAIR, CONSTRUCT AND INSTALL PIERS, DOCKS,
BOATHOUSES AND BOAT SHELTERS, MOORING PILES, DOLPHINS, JETTIES,
GROINS AND BREAKWATER STRUCTURES IN NAVIGABLE WATERS OF THE
UNITED STATES IN THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA.
Projects must be constructed in conformance with following standards in order to be authorized
by this RGP.
All piers, docks, boathouses and boat shelters will be pile -supported or floating
structures.
2. Mooring piles, dolphins, jetties and breakwater structures may be constructed of
wood, metal, or pre -cast concrete. Groins may be constructed of wood, pre -cast concrete, or rock
riprap.
3. Breakwater structures will be designed to provide for adequate water circulation
landward of the structures.

This RGP does not authorize excavation or the discharge of excavated or fill material within
Waters of the US, except for the placement of rip -rap material for groin construction. This RGP
does not authorize any work on Atlantic Ocean beaches.
The following definitions should be used for purposes of this regional general permit (RGP):
a. Mean high water mark (MH)KM).- The line on the shore, in tidal water, reached by the
plane of the mean (average) high water. The precise determination of the actual location of the
line can be established by survey with the reference to the available tidal datum, preferably
averaged over a period of 18.6 years. A less precise method, such as observation of the apparent
shoreline, which is determined by reference to physical markings, lines of vegetation, may be
used for the purpose of this permit.
b. Ordinar�High Water Mark (OHWM): The line on the shore, in non -tidal waters,
established by the fluctuations of water indicated by physical characteristics such as clear,
natural line impressed on the bank; shelving changes in the soil; destruction of terrestrial
vegetation; the presence of litter and debris; or other appropriate means that consider the
characteristics of the surrounding areas.
Special Conditions
a. Authorized structures located on or adjacent to Federally authorized waterways will be
constructed in accordance with the Commander's Policy on Setbacks Along Federally
Authorized Channels. You may review a copy of the policy at
http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/WETLANDS/library.html
b. This general permit does not authorize construction across or into any natural or
manmade channel or water body in any manner that may adversely affect navigation by the
general public.
c. Piers, docks, boathouses, boat shelters and mooring piles authorized by this general
permit may be extended or be located up to 400 feet waterward of the mean high water
(MHWM) elevation contour (tidal areas) or the Ordinaa High Water Mark (OHWM) elevation
contour (non -tidal areas) or one-third (1/3) the width of a natural water body, whichever is closer
to the shoreline, except as otherwise governed by the presence of a Federally maintained
channel.
d. The width of any pier will not exceed six (6) feet, unless the Corps determines, in
writing, that a greater width is necessary for safe use, to improve public access, or to support a
water dependent use that cannot otherwise occur.
e. The total square footage of shaded impact for docks and mooring facilities (excluding the
pier) allowed shall be 8 square feet per linear foot of shoreline with a maximum of 800 square
feet. In calculating the shaded impact, uncovered open water slips shall not be counted in the
total. The maximum size of any individual component of the docking facility authorized by this
2

General Permit shall not exceed 400 square feet unless the Corps determines, in writing, that a
greater width is necessary for safe use, to improve public access, or to support a water dependent
use that cannot otherwise occur.
f. Boathouses and boat shelters will not be enclosed and will not exceed 400 square feet.
Boatlifts will be open and will not exceed 400 square feet.
g. Boathouses, boatlifts, boat shelters and floating piers will not be constructed over
Federally jurisdictional wetlands.
h. Docks and piers extending over wetlands will be elevated sufficiently (minimum of 3
feet) above the wetland substrate to prevent total shading of vegetation, substrate, or other
elements of the aquatic environment.
i. Piers, docks, boat houses, and boat shelters shall not be constructed in seagrasses and
other submerged aquatic vegetation.
j. Wooden jetties will not extend farther than 100 feet waterward of the MHWM (tidal
areas) or the OHWM elevation contours.
k. This general permit does not authorize the installation of fueling facilities on authorized
structures.
1. Riprap groins shall not exceed abase width of 10 feet or extend more than 25 feet
waterward of the mean high water or normal water level elevation contour.
in. Riprap groins must be constructed of clean rock or masonry material and be of sufficient
size to prevent displacement by wave or current action.
n. Riprap groins shall not be located within primary nursery areas, submerged aquatic
vegetation, or areas identified as essential fish habitat.
o. Floating structures will be supported by material that will not become waterlogged or
sink when punctured, will be installed to provide for fluctuations of water elevation, will be
designed so that the structure will not rest on the bottom at any time and will be secured in such
manner as to not break away.
p. Breakwater structures will be no longer than 500 feet. They will have a minimum of one -
inch openings between standard width (6 to 12 -inch) sheathing boards and at least one, five-foot
wide opening for each 100 linear feet of structure.
q. Breakwater structures may not be constructed so as to prohibit access to estuarine waters
or public trust areas.

r. If the display of lights and signals on the authorized structure is not otherwise provided
for by law, such lights and signals as may be prescribed by the U.S. Coast Guard will be installed
and maintained by and at the expense of the permittee.
s. It is possible that the authorized structure may be damaged by wavewash from passing

Carolina Division of Coastal Management before the onset of the proposed activity. Should a
Federal activity within any one of North Carolina's twenty coastal counties or which could affect
a coastal use or resource in any one of North Carolina's twenty coastal counties be proposed by a
Federal agency, a consistency determination pursuant to Subpart "C" of 15 CFR 930 must be
prepared and submitted by that Federal agency to the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management before the onset of the proposed activity.

the proposed project and may not begin work until notified by the Corps that the requirements of
the Endangered Species Act have been satisfied and that the activity is authorized.
p. Permittees are advised that development activities in or near a floodway may be subject to
the National Flood Insurance Program that prohibits any development, including fill, within a
2

floodway that results in any increase in base flood elevations. This general permit does not
