Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC's) impacted by the proposal are EW and PTA. The area is open to the harvesting of shellfish and is not a Primary Nursery Area. I have reviewed this proposal for consistency with the Bald Head Island Land Use Plan and offer the following comments. The general area of the project is classified as Low Density Residential and Conservation. In general, Bald Head Island allows development which is consistent with the State's minimum use standards. The Village of Bald Head Island Land Use Plan contains some policies, which exceed the State's minimum use standards. However, none of these policies appear to be applicable to this proposal.

Project Narrative Bald head creek situated at the mouth of Cape Fear River between Bald Head Island and Middle Island is a relatively pristine creek used for a variety of different recreational activities such as fishing, canoeing and boating. We the Bald Head Island Conservancy in collaboration with a group of local volunteers and the Village of Bald Head Island propose to add oyster shells filled in bags to 4 different locations in the creek. The oyster shells added to these 4 locations will provide the foundations for further oyster growth that will likely result in even better water quality throughout the creek to the benefit of all users of the creek as well as a breeding ground for many different commercially caught fish in the ocean surrounding bald head island. We propose to use the bags to secure the oyster shells stay in place and we will only place the bags in areas with no current vegetation. None of the 4 sites are near private property and the sites will not impact boat traffic in the creek.

J U O RECOMMENDATIONS FOR— Bald Head Creek Oyster Project June 20, 2018 It is the opinion of this office that the proposed work is CONSISTENT with the Use Standards for Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Areas, as set forth in NCAC 07H .0206 & .0207. In the absence of any concerns from the commenting agencies, it is recommended that a permit be issued subject to the standard marsh sill and following conditions: In order to protect water quality, runoff from the construction must not visibly increase the amount of suspended sediments in adjacent waters. 2. The alignment of the permitted oyster bag sills shall be staked by the permittee and approved by a representative of the Division of Coastal Management within a maximum of 30 days prior to the start of construction. 3. The permittee and his contractor shall schedule a pre -construction conference with the Division of Coastal Management and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers prior to the initiation of any work. 4. All new oyster bags shall not be placed in areas where there is an existing oyster reef. 5. No filling of coastal wetland areas is authorized by this permit. 6. Appropriate sedimentation and erosion control devices, measures or structures must be implemented to ensure that eroded materials do not enter adjacent wetlands, watercourses and property (e.g. silt fence, diversion swales or berms, sand fence, etc.). NOTE: This permit does not eliminate the need to obtain any additional state, federal or local permits, approvals or authorizations that may be required.

The island is accessed by private boat or a private ferry service from Southport. This project area is located within Bald Head Creek in the northwestern part of the island and encompasses approximately 3000 linear ft. Adjacent vegetation that exists in the creek consists primarily of Smooth Cord Grass (Spartina alternii lora). Water depths within the project area range from -0 ft. to -4. ft. at Normal Low Water (NLW). The project area is located within the Estuarine Water and Public Trust Areas of Environmental Concern (AECs). The Village of Bald Head Island Land Use Plan classifies adjacent waters as Conservation, and the adjacent high ground portion of the project area as Low Density Residential. The waters of Bald Head Creek are classified as SA/HQW by the North Carolina Division of Water Resources. The waters are not designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries. They are OPEN to the harvesting of shellfish. IWIL11013 p111 Q 111131 Re The applicant is proposing to install oyster shell in netted bags at four locations within Bald Head Creek for water quality and habitat improvement. According to the applicant, the four oyster sill sites proposed within the creek are outside of the existing channel and are not within coastal wetland areas. As proposed, oyster shell within netted bags, measuring approximately 8 inches wide and 16 inches long, would be placed at each project site providing a foundation for future oyster growth. The number of bags and alignment varies at each site (see MP-2 and Sheets 3-6) All four proposed sills will be in areas where water depths are -0 ft. at Normal Low Water. All 4 project sites are within an approximately 3,200 linear ft. section of Bald Head Creek (see Sheet 1 of 6). Specific dimensions for each project site are outlined in Sheets 3 to 6 of 6. Project Site 1 is proposed as a 50 ft. long by 4 ft. wide oyster sill consisting of approximately 225 bags. Project Site 2 is proposed as a 7 ft. long by 4 ft. wide oyster sill consisting of approximately 30 bags. Project Site 3 is proposed as an 18 ft. long by 4 ft. wide oyster sill consisting of approximately 80 bags, this site is adjacent to an existing natural oyster reef. Project Site 4 is proposed as a 50 ft. long by 4 ft. wide oyster sill consisting of approximately 225 bags. All proposed project sites will have a maximum height of 1 ft. Bags are not proposed to be stacked and will be placed in a single layer. All work is proposed to be conducted via boat from Bald Head Creek and oyster bags would be placed by hand,RECIVED JUN 21 2018 E)CM-MHD CITY Bald Head Island Conservancy Bald Head Creek Oyster Project Page Three 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The proposed oyster sill structures would incorporate approximately 500 sq. ft. of Estuarine Waters and Pubic Trust Area within Bald Head Creek. The proposed sills would extend along the shoreline in 4 locations within Bald Head Creek, which measures approximately 232 ft. - 340 ft. across in these areas. The structures would be located in water depths of -0 ft. at NLW and would not result in any Coastal Wetland impacts. The proposed sills would not encroach into either the existing channel or private property. Minor increases in turbidity should be expected during construction. Submitted by: Tara MacPherson Date: June 20, 2018 Office: Wilmington 12/18/17 Oyster bags in Bald Head Creek. Project Narrative Bald head creek situated at the mouth of Cape Fear River between Bald Head Island and Middle Island is a relatively pristine creek used for a variety of different recreational activities such as fishing, canoeing and boating. We the Bald Head Island Conservancy in collaboration with a group of local volunteers and the Village of Bald Head Island propose to add oyster shells filled in bags to 4 different locations in the creek. The oyster shells added to these 4 locations will provide the foundations for further oyster growth that will likely result in even better water quality throughout the creek to the benefit of all users of the creek as well as a breeding ground for many different commercially caught fish in the ocean surrounding bald head island. We propose to use the bags to secure the oyster shells stay in place and we will only place the bags in areas with no current vegetation. None of the 4 sites are near private property and the sites will not impact boat traffic in the creek.

REGAN Secretary BRAXTON DAVIS Dtrecror The Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your application for State approval to install four oyster sills in Bald Head Creek located at Bald Head Island, Brunswick County. It was received as complete on June It, 2018 and appears to be adequate for processing at this time. The projected deadline for making a decision is August 25, 2018. An additional 75-day review period is provided by law when such time is necessary to complete the review. If you have not been notified of a final action by the initial deadline stated above, you should consider the review period extended. Under those circumstances, this letter will serve as your notice of an extended review. However, an additional letter will be provided on or about the 75th day. If this agency does not render a permit decision within 70 days from June It, 2018, you may request a meeting with the Director of the Division of Coastal Management and permit staff to discuss the status of your project. Such a meeting will be held within five working days from the receipt of your written request and shall include the property owner, developer, and project designer/consultant.
