Gentlemen:

01992

On February 11, 1991, we renewed general permit No. CESAW-CO80-N-000-0291
(copy enclosed), which provides Federal authorization for construction
activities that receive authorization from the State of North Carolina.
A review of your application received November 23, 1992, for Department of
the Army authorization to remove a pier and construct a community dock on
Whiskey Creek, Wilmington, 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If your application must be withdrawn from this general permit process for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. Only after receiving such
confirmation should you begin work.
Your application, pursuant to Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act, has
been assigned Action ID No. 199300562 and will be coordinated by Mr. Jeffrey
Richter in our Wilmington Field Office. He is available at telephone (919)
251-4636.

8. PROJECT SUMMARY: Applicant proposes to remove the existing 5' x 100' dock
and replace it with a docking system to serve the Mason Knoll Community.

Mason Knoll Condominiums
Page 2
9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 11/6/92
The project lies at the end of Mason Knoll Drive in the Mason Knoll area off of S.R.
1515. This is adjacent to Whiskey Creek in New Hanover County.
The tract of land is approximately 4.1 acres. This is an unusual residential
development in that the structures are single family homes, but there is no private
ownership of the land. The tract has never been subdivided, and is all common area.
According to the applicant, the development is approximately 50% built out.
There is an existing pier and dock structure to serve this community. The pier is 5'
wide, and extends for a distance of 84'. It crosses a consistent stand of mixed
Spartina alterniflora and Juncus roemerianus for approximately 20'. There is a finger
of Spartina alterniflora reaching for another 25' - 30' directly under the pier. The
pier connects to a 16' x 16' gazebo and 5' x 100' fixed dock.
The waters of Whiskey Creek are classified SA by the Division of Environmental
Management, and are designated Primary Nursery by the Division of Marine
Fisheries. The bottom is heavily laden with oysters, and, while it is closed to
shellfishing, there have been relay programs from the creek in the past. The area is
classified as Conservation in the New Hanover County Land Use Plan.
The applicant is proposing to leave the pier and gazebo intact. The fixed dock is to
be removed. There will be a 4' x 4' landing on which the ramp will begin, attached
to the west side of the gazebo. A 32" x 16' ramp will connect the structure to a new
floating dock. In order to better utilize the water in this shallow area, the applicant
has reconfigured the dock.
The new dock, 6' x 110', will lie perpendicular to the pier. This will begin 15' from
the established riparian corridor to the east. There is a small creek branching off of
Whiskey Creek immediately to the west of the project. Riparian property in this
development runs along this shoreline. While navigation is very limited in this water
body, it is somewhat navigable. The proposed pier structure would extend
approximately 85' in a westerly direction and will not block access to this creek.
The body of water in which this pier lies is approximately 450' across. However,
from a practical standpoint there are many oyster bars limiting navigation. The
proposed project complete with mooring pilings will extend approximately 98' into the
open water. This distance waterward is presently established on the east side by a
mooring piling to the present dock. On the west side, the new structure will not
extend as far waterward as the present structure. The depth at the waterward end is -
1' mlw.
The floating dock will have 13 mooring pilings placed 18' from the dock structure.
This will provide mooring for 12 vessels in the Mason Knoll community. There are
25 total homesites in the development. There is no dredging associated with this project.
Mason Knoll Condominiums
Page 3
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The applicant has approximately 145 linear feet of shoreline on the part of Whiskey
Creek in which the pier lies. This affords him approximately 3,915 square feet of
dockage space in accordance with T15A: 07H.0208(b)(5)(D). Because of the
navigational constraints of the area, he is using only 2,700 square feet.
Navigation should not be restricted as far waterward as it is currently. However, the
new structure will be more imposing than the current one in that mooring pilings will
be situated along the entire structure.
The docking system will accommodate 12 vessels from a modest residential
community.

MEMORANDUM
To: Reviewing Agencies
From: T. Barrett
12/9/92
Please find enclosed a request from Ed Flynn, agent for Mason Knoll
Condominiums, to modify the individual permit application he has
submitted. In order to render unnecessary a Special Use Permit
from New Hanover County, the applicant has reduced the size of the
floating dock from 110' to the size of the existing fixed dock,
1001. As well., he has reduced the number of slips from 12 to 9.
This reduces the impacts to that which exist currently.

RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OR PERMIT RESTRICTIONS: The Division of
Marine Fisheries has designated this area a Primary Nursery Area
and has stated that boat activity in this shallow area near t
proposed floating dock will significantly disturb the bottom. f
this bottom disturbance removes the ability of the area f'VO
function as a Primary Nursery Area, such a removal of use would
be a violation of 15A NCAC 2B .0201. This Office cannot
recommend approval of a project which will remove an existing
use.

TO: John Parker
THROUGH: Rich Carpenter
FROM: Fritz Rohde
SUBJECT: Mason Knoll Condominiums
I have concerns about the shallow depths in the project area.
Many times at low tide there will be no water at all at the dock.
I am concerned that with these shallow depths there will be
significant disturbance of the bottom by the boats' propellors.
The applicant has indicated that only john boats will or can be
used with this facility. I agree but even these can have a
deleterious effect on the bottom. This is a designated primary
nursery area. Under no circumstances will the Division of Marine
Fisheries agree to any dredging of this bottom.

MEMORANDUM
To: Reviewing Agencies
From: T. Barrett
12/9/92
Please find enclosed a request from Ed Flynn, agent for Mason Knoll
condominiums, to modify the individual permit application he has
submitted. In order to render unnecessary a Special Use Permit
from New Hanover County, the applicant has reduced the size of the
floating dock from 110' to the size of the existing fixed dock,
1001. As well, he has reduced the number of slips from 12 to 9.
This reduces the impacts to that which exist currently.

Page 2
9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 11/6/92
The project lies at the end of Mason Knoll Drive in the Mason Knoll area off of S.R.
1515. This is adjacent to Whiskey Creek in New Hanover County. -
The tract of land is approximately 4.1 acres. This is an unusual residential
development in that the structures are single family homes, but there is no private
ownership of the land. The tract has never been subdivided, and is all common area.
According to the applicant, the development is approximately 50% built out.
There is an existing pier and dock structure to serve this community. The pier is 5'
wide, and extends for a distance of 84'. It crosses a consistent stand of mixed
Spartina alterniflora and ]uncus roemerianus for approximately 20'. There is a finger
of Spartina alterniflora reaching for another 25' - 30' directly under the pier. The
pier connects to a 16' x 16' gazebo and 5' x 100' fixed dock.
The waters of Whiskey Creek are classified SA by the Division of Environmental
Management, and are designated Primary Nursery by th e Division of Marine
Fisheries. The bottom is heavily laden with oysters, and, while it is closed to
shellfishing, there have been relay programs from the creek in the past. The area is
classified as Conservation in the New Hanover County Land Use Plan.
The applicant is proposing to leave the pier and gazebo intact. The fixed dock is to
be removed. There will be a 4' x 4' landing on which the ramp will begin, attached
to the west side of the gazebo. A 32" x 16' ramp will connect the structure to a new
floating dock. In order to better utilize the water in this shallow area, the applicant
has reconfigured the dock.
The new dock, 6' x 110', will lie perpendicular to the pier. This will begin 15' from
the established riparian corridor to the east. There is a small creek branching off of
Whiskey Creek immediately to the west of the project. Riparian property in this
development runs along this shoreline. While navigation is very limited in this water
body, it is somewhat navigable. The proposed pier structure would extend
approximately 85' in a westerly direction and will not block access to this creek.
The body of water in which this pier lies is approximately 450' across. However,
from a practical standpoint there are many oyster bars limiting navigation. The
proposed project complete with mooring pilings will extend approximately 98' into the
open water. This distance waterward is presently established on the east side by a
mooring piling to the present dock. On the west side, the new structure will not
extend as far waterward as the present structure. The depth at the waterward end is -
1' mlw.
The floating dock will have 13 mooring pilings placed 18' from the dock structure.
This will provide mooring for 12 vessels in the Mason Knoll community. There are
25 total homesites in the development. There is no dredging associated with this project.

10. ANTICIPATED E9PACTS
The applicant has approximately 145 linear feet of shoreline on the part of Whiskey
Creek in which the pier lies. This affords him approximately 3,915 square feet of
dockage space in accordance with T15A: 07H.0208(b)(5)(D). Because of the
navigational constraints of the area, he is using only 2,700 square feet.
Navigation should not be restricted as far waterward as it is currently. However, the
new structure will be more imposing than the current one in that mooring pilings will
be situated along the entire structure.
The docking system will accommodate 12 vessels from a modest residential
community.

Reference the application of Mason Knoll Condominiums for a Department of
the Army permit to remove a pier and construct a community dock on Whiskey
Creek, Wilmington, 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. All work authorized by this permit must be performed in strict
compliance with the permit plans.
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. 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 transferred to a third party.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Jeffrey Richter, Wilmington
Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
G. Wayne Wright
