Southport Marina, Inc.

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Southport Marina is an existing full service commercial marina, located adjacent to the Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway, on W. West St., Southport, in Brunswick County, North Carolina. The site is
adjacent to Cottage Creek on the west, the AIWW on the south, and Southport Yacht Basin to the
east.The facility pre-dates the North Carolina Coastal Management Act and has been issued State
permits for maintenance dredging and improvements since the 1970's (RE: State Permits 5-75 & 138-
87). The property belongs the North Carolina State Ports Authority, and is currently leased to the
Benson Marine Group. The 1500 ft. long basin is encircled on three sides by an earthen berm wave
barrier, probably constructed during the original basin excavation. The wave barrier, although above
MHW, is considered coastal wetlands, and exhibits the following wetland vegetation species, in various
degrees of concentration along the entire alignment of the wave barrier; Spartina alterniflora, Juncus
roemarianus, Distichlis spicata, Salicornia, spp., Limonium, spp., and Spartina patens. Other species
include; Bomcia frutescens, Baccharis angustifolia, and Iva frutescens. Two areas of the berm exhibit
some woody vegetation, including Wax Myrtle, Red Cedar, and pine, but even these areas are
occasionally flooded by storm tides, as indicated by trash and rack lines. On the basin side of the wave
barrier, there is a border of smooth cordgrass marsh (Spartina alternifloral. This border is typically 10 -
30 feet wide, except in the northwest side of the basin where widths reach 200 -240 feet. The western
one-third of the basin is approximately 250 feet wide. The eastern two-thirds of the basin is
approximately 500 feet wide, and contains all of the marina's existing wet slips. These consist of 114
slips on four floating docks, three open and one covered structure (14 slips). The main dock includes
a marina office/store and fuel facilities on a terminal T-head. Other marina services include: boat ramp,
bath house, laundry, dry storage (96 boats), and a marine service and repair shop, including travel lift.
Water depth in the basin averages six (6) feet at MLW.
The water body including the AIWW channel is approximately 500 feet wide in the project area. The
adjacent waters are classified SC by the N. C. Division of Environmental Management, and are
CLOSED to the harvest of shellfish. The project area is not considered a Primary Nursery Area by the
N. C. Division of Marine Fisheries.
The applicants propose to construct a 400 ft. long X 8 ft. wide floating dock parallel to the northwest
shoreline of the undeveloped portion of the marina basin. The docks would be specifically for
commercial fishing vessels, and would provide an estimated 10 - 12 parallel slips. The dock would be
accessed by extending the existing floating dock which services the travel lift, approximately 20 feet,
or until it intersects with the east end of the proposed new dock. The applicants propose constructing
a marl parking lot (275 ft. long X 159 ft. wide) with access from West Street. The parking lot would
be located in the northwest portion of the property, on the remnant dredge spoils disposal site. The
applicants are also requesting to construct a transient dock 180 feet long and 10 feet wide to be located
on the west side of the main pier T-head. This dock would be used for over-night dockage and during
special events, such as the annual fishing tournaments.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The proposed placement of the commercial dock and transient dock would incorporate 5000 square feet
of estaurine waters and public trust area. The construction of the parking lot would disturb 41250 square
feet of high ground area, as well as, create an equal amount of impervious surface and its associated
stormwater run-off. The proposed docks would provide needed economical slips for local commercial
fisherman.

The North Carolina Division of Coastal Management has reviewed the above-referenced application for a
Nationwide Permit dated October 4, 1994. Based upon our review, we have determined that the proposed activity
is located within an Area of Environmental Concern (AEC).
Therefore, before you are eligible to receive a Nationwide Permit from the Army Corps of Engineers, you must
receive a CAMA Permit from the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management for the proposed activity. The
State position on consistency of the proposal with the North Carolina Coastal Management Program is provided by
the Division's CAMA Permit decision. It is my understanding that you are currently working with Ed Brooks of
our staff to apply for a CAMA Permit.
Please contact me or Ed Brooks at the DEHNR Wilmington Regional Office- Division of Coastal Management,
127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, NC 28405, Telephone [phone] if you have questions. Thank
you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
