Posted on September 19th, 2024
The property on the far side of U.S. Highway 17 Business is the proposed location for the marina.
The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality is accepting comments on a CAMA permit application for the construction of a marina at the southern base of the U.S. Highway 17 Business bridge in Washington. The proposed marina will have 133 boat slips, stick-built and floating docks, bulkhead, boardwalk, a boat ramp and boat lifts. The permit application is a scaled-down version of a project proposed in 2021 (read about the original project here). Sound Rivers is evaluating potential impacts and will comment in the near future.
For more information about the scope of this project, the Division of Coastal Management’s field report can be viewed HERE, and the permit application HERE.
Those who wish to comment can send an email to ashley.grandy@deq.nc.gov and Wayne.Hall@deq.nc.gov. Comments will be accepted up until the decision date, which will likely be “towards the 75-day review deadline for the project,” according to NCDEQ staff.
