R. E. High and W. R. Freshwater for a Department of the Army permit to construct a pier with floating dock on the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW), Wrightsville Beach, New Hanover County, North Carolina. The Federal agencies have completed review of the proposal as presented by the application and your field investigation report. We recommend that the following conditions be included in the State authorization: a. This permit does not authorize the interference with any existing or proposed Federal project, and the permittee will not be entitled to compensation for damage or injury to the authorized structure or work which may be caused from existing or future operations undertaken by the United States in the public interest. b. No attempt will be made by the permittee to prevent the full and free use by the public of all navigable waters at or adjacent to the authorized work. Use of the permitted activity must not interfere with the public's right to free navigation on all navigable waters of the United States. C. 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. -2- d d. The permittee will maintain the authorized work in good condition and in conformance with the terms and conditions of this permit. The permittee is not relieved of this requirement if he abandons the permitted activity without having it transfered to a third party. e. Approval of the structure was based on determination that there would be no obstruction to navigation. Under conditions existing in the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW), a possibility exists that the structure may be damaged by wave wash from passing vessels. Unreasonable slowing down of vessel traffic cannot be required because it would tend to nullify the navigational benefits on which the AIWW was justified. Issuance of this permit should not be construed as relieving the permittee of taking proper steps to insure the structure and moored boats will not be damaged by wave wash normally to be expected in the AIWW.

Project Summary The applicant proposes to construct a 8' x 60' floating docks be accommodate four (4) boats the larger one being 35' in length R. E. High 9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project site is located on the south side of Banks Channel, at 452 Causeway Drive, Wrightsville Beach, New Hanover County, North Carolina. The private lot measure approximately 50' x 100'. There is an existing duplex located on the property which is occupied by the applicants. The shoreline of the property has recently been rip rap under the general permit program. The site is void of any coastal wetland. There is an existing platform over the water measuring approximately 20' x 20'. The waters within the project area are classified as SB. According to Marine Fisheries they are also designated as a secondary nursery area. The applicants proposes to construct an 8' x 60' floating dock in order to provide water access and docking facilities for their private residence. According to the applicants, the water depth within the project varies from -5' MLW to -9' MLW at the end of the floating pier. This project would have been exempted from a CAMA permit, however the water depth (greater than 4' MLW) made it necessary to proceed with a full CAMA major permit. 10.

A review of your application received March 23, 1988, for Department of the Army authorization to construct a pier with floating dock on the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW), Wrightsville Beach, New Hanover County, North Carolina, indicates it to be a candidate for Federal authorization under this general permit. Accordingly, the administrative processing of your application will be accomplished by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management. Comments from Federal review agencies will be furnished to the State. If your application must be withdrawn from this general permit process for any reason, you will be informed regarding its further management. If there are no unresolved differences in State- Federal positions or policies, the final action taken on your application by the State will result in your receiving written notice from us that your application is consistent with the general permit and you may commence your activity.
