This check is to cover the cost of the sandbag permit issued for the Gallagher property located at 11201 Inlet Drive in Emerald Isle. I believe that the installation of the sandbags began last week, none too soon as I understand. I will follow-up with Cecil Carter to ensure that the project is complete. Thank you for your support and consideration in the issuance of this permit. I know that the sandbags will protect the value and integrity of our property as they will assist in keeping the erosion at bay. Again, thank you!

Subject: Relative Change in Elevations - 11115 Inlet Drive (Townsend) and 11117 Inlet Drive (Gallagher) - Emerald Isle, NC From: "Frank Rush" <frush@emeraidisle-nc.org> Date: Tue, 9 Oct 2007 11:27:14 -0400 To: "'Jim Gregson"' <Jim.Gregson@ncmai1.net>, "'Ted.Tyndall"' <Ted. Tyndall @ncmai 1. net> Jim, Ted - Please find attached two graphics illustrating the relative change in elevations at the toe of the dune escarpment, the low "depression" behind the dunes, and the homes on Inlet Drive. The two properties that we are now seeking sandbags for are Gallagher (11117 Inlet Drive, and directly east of Murphrey) and Townsend (11115 Inlet Drive, and directly east of Gallagher). As you will note, the low "depression" between the dune and the homes is about .53 feet lower than the toe of the dune escarpment at Gallagher's home, and .65 ft. lower than the toe of the dune escarpment at Townsend's home. The foundations of the homes themselves are only approx 1.04 ft. (Gallagher) and 2.36 ft. (Townsend) higher than the toe of the dune escarpment. The height of the remaining dune at Gallagher's home is approximately 10 ft. at the escarpment, and approximately 7 ft. at the Townsend escarpment. The distance between the dune escarpment and the low depression is approximately 30 - 40 ft. This area has suffered a total dune line recession of approximately 22 ft. in the past 23 days, based on the measurement of the distance from the most landward sandbag at the eastern boundary of the Murphrey home back to the dune escarpment. As I noted to Jim when we visited the site last week, there does not appear to be any significant, continuing erosion to the dunes located east of the Townsend home. I truly believe that Gallagher and Townsend will be the only additional homes that will need sandbags in this area, but that will obviously be up to Mother Nature to decide in the coming weeks and months. As noted to Jim last week, we continue to see accretion in the areas east of the Townsend home as the protruding oceanfront "spit" continues its migration from east to west in this area. The beach in front of the Channel Drive public beach access, located approximately 550 ft east of the Townsend home, has accreted significantly (on the order of 100 - 150 ft.) since early summer. We remain confident that the erosion problems in this area are short-term, and that the long-term prognosis for natural stabilization is good. have received signed forms from Gallagher and Townsend that authorize me to act as their agent to secure sandbag permits for them. The Gallaghers and Townsends are understandably concerned, and would like to begin sandbag placement as soon as possible. I truly believe that the sandbags are justified for these two homes based on the CAMA rules for sandbags in rapid erosion / flat beach profile areas. Please let me know if you will issue a permit soon so that we can begin to mobilize the sandbag contractor. Also, please let me know if you need anything else from the Town or the property owners, and we will do our best to provide any information needed. Thanks again for your assistance on this matter, and especially for your personal attention and accessibility. I greatly appreciate the attention and accessibility. Frank NOTE: The information for Gallagher was prepared by a licensed surveyor on October 8. The information for Townsend was prepared by myself and the Town's Public Works Director on October 9 (using the same methodology used for Murphrey last month). As you will note, the results are similar for 1 of 2 10/ 12/2007 10:29 AM Relative Change in Elevations - 11115 Inlet Drive (Townsend) and all 3 properties. Frank A.

I know you; Ted and Frank are working hard on our behalf. It is greatly appreciated. I thought everyone would be interested in my observations this past Saturday, October 6th The bad news, the erosion at our place since our sandbags were put in September 13th, 23 days ago, measures a 19 feet loss of the highest dune west behind our sand bags and 25 feet north toward our house. Susan Gallagher, our neighbor, to the east has experienced a 25 foot loss of her last remaining dune in the same time frame. The survey information Frank will be forwarding to you indicates there is only six (6) inches difference between the low point behind the dune and the toe of the dune on the ocean side. Obviously, this is very alarming since the erosion rate has nearly doubled in the last 30 days. For the last year it has been 16 feet per month, prorated this month it would be an astounding 31 feet. Given the amount of time it takes to arrange an official visit to the site, the time necessary to issue a permit, the time to arrange for the sandbags to be installed and the contractor's availability, we hope this survey will be what you need to support your decision to issue a permit as soon as possible. We have the contractor waiting to hear from and really need for him to start immediately before he gets involved in another project. Now, the good news! In the last 20 days "The point" east of us has moved west approximately 200 feet! This is due to the little ocean channel in between us and the outer bar closing down at the ocean and allowing the bar to begin moving to the west and toward the shore! This is what we have been waiting all year to happen! Thanks again for your time and concern for our problem. It really means a lot to know that we have a "team" that cares and is trying help!
