Forum On Easement Policy Opens
Marine Expo in Wilmington Today
A forum today (Thursday) on the impact of a pro
posed state public trust casement policy on marine busi
nesses opens the N.C. MarineExpo Trade Show and
Conference in Wilmington.
The conference runs through Saturday at the Wilm
ington Milton and Coast Line Convention Center and is
open only to representatives of the marine industry It
offers an array of seminars on topics such as waste man
agement. bottom washing, and marine iasurance.
Today's forum is set for 1 1 a m to 12:30 p.m. in the
Wilmington Milton Ballroom. Mike Bradley, director of
the N.C. Marine Trades Program at UNCW, will serve
as moderator for Ihc 12-person panel and audience dis
cussion
The forum offers an opportunity few those in the ma
rina and other marine-related businesses to discuss a
plan proposed by the state to impose lease or easement
fees and terms on marine businesses with boat slips.
Until recently North Carolina has not required ease
ments for docks, piers or marinas extending into public
waters, though il has required casements for certain oth
er commercial or private uses
According to a news release, the casement/fee pro
posal has sparked controversy in part because of the be
lief among some marine businesses that it would put
them at an unfair trade advantage with similar concerns
in neighboring stales While some other stales charge
marinas for easements, neither South Carolina nor Vir
ginia do
In Walker v. Coastal Rcvmrces ( 'ommission, Ihc
N.C. Court of Appeals determined that construction of
some private facilities in public trust waters cannot be
permitted without easements from the state. The case in
volved a marina with approximately 150 slips encircling
about six acres of public trust waters ? waters held in
trust by the state for public use and benefit. The court
ruled it improper to issue a C'AMA permit for develop
ment in Oriental harbor without an easement from the
state.
Under current state law. easements or other interests
in state property must be conveyed for fair market value
except to certain public grantees such as local govern
ments and to private entities not operating for a profit.
The state Department of Administration and Department
of Environment. Health and Natural Resources
(DEHNR) have begun work on a system for evaluating,
charging and collecting payments for projects that make
private use of the submerged lands of the state or other
wise have a signficant impact on public trust waters.
According to a DEHNR memorandum, (he goal is to
protect public trust w aters and ensure a fair return on use
of the state's public lands for commercial purposes,
while not unduly slowing development that is consistent
with public trust doctnnc and C'AMA. and for which the
developers arc willing to pay a fair price.
