RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NCCR and NERR c/o Brandon Puckett 2/6/2018
It is the staffs recommendation that the experimental addition of sediment and dredged materials in Coastal Wetlands is
CONSISTENT with the use standards set forth in NCAC 07H .0205 Coastal Wetlands. The proposed structures and fill would
result in the filling of approximately 212 ft'of Coastal Wetlands consisting primarily of Salt Marsh Cord Grass (Spartina
alterniflora), which typically would be inconsistent with the management objectives of the rules. However, in this instance,
the purpose for the fill is to better understand whether sediment addition is an effective strategy for marshes in the face
of sea level rise. Ultimately gaining information about how to manage marshes in the face of threats such as sea level rise
would be beneficial to achieving the first priority of use, which is conservation of existing Coastal Wetlands. Furthermore,
the second priority of Coastal Wetland use is water dependent development that cannot function elsewhere. Since this
experiment is specifically examining how Coastal Wetland species react to sediment addition, it must occur in a natural
marsh setting with regular tidal inundation, and construction elsewhere may not yield data that would be as applicable.
The permittee proposes to remove all structures after the study, and return any plots that are void of vegetation to pre -
project contours and re -vegetate. Based on these commitments, it appears that after the experiment there will be no
permanent change to the Coastal Wetlands, and there will be potentially helpful data to inform marsh management. This
office has no objection to the proposed work, provided it is consistent with all other state and federal permitting
requirements and the resource agencies have no findings of Significant Adverse Impacts to the resource. It is
recommended that any permit issued should include a condition to return the marsh to pre -project elevations and re -
vegetate, should any areas be void of vegetation at the conclusion of the experiment, in accordance with commitments
made by the permittee. Additionally, this office recommends a condition be added to require the use of marsh mats/carts
when accessing the plots, in accordance with commitments made by the permittee.

MEMORANDUM
To: Heather Coats �y�
From: Michael Christenbury, Wilmington District Planner 90
Subject: Consistency Determination, Major Permit Application, —NC Coastal
Reserve, New Hanover County
Date: April 9, 2018
This project is consistent and not in conflict with the 2016 New Hanover County
Comprehensive Land Use Plan Update.
The applicant is proposing to construct 40 wooden experimental plots (5 ft. sq.) to study
sediment addition in the marsh. The project is located at Masonboro Island Reserve,
adjacent to Loosin Creek in New Hanover County.
Areas of Environmental Concern (AFC's) impacted by the proposal are CW. Waters at
the project site are classified as SA-ORW and are open to the harvesting of shellfish. The
area is not a Primary Nursery Area.
I have reviewed this proposal for consistency with the 2016 New Hanover County
Comprehensive Land Use Plan and offer the following comments.
The general area of the project is classified as Conservation.
In general, New Hanover County allows development in Conservation classified AECs,
which is consistent with the State's minimum use standards. The 2016 New Hanover
County Comprehensive Land Use Plan contains some policies, which exceed the State's
minimum use standards. However, none of these standards appear to be applicable to this
proposal.

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION D Y/! (('''')) rC
The project site is located at Masonboro Island Reserve, adjacent to Loosin Creek and Masonboro Sound, HlTewlianover
County. The island is only accessible from the mainland via boat. From Eastwood Road, head south on Military Cutoff and
travel approximately 2 miles until you reach Greenville Loop and make a left. Travel for approximately 3 miles until you
reach Pine Grove Drive and make a left. After approximately 1 mile Pine Grove Drive turns into Masonboro Loop. Continue
on Masonboro Loop for approximately 2 miles and then turn left onto Trails End Road. At the terminus of Trails End Road
is a public boat ramp. Once on a boat, travel approximately 1.4 miles north along the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway
(AIWW). Take a slight right to navigate into old Masonboro Channel and travel approximately 0.4 miles. The entrance to
Loosin Creek will be on the right-hand side. The experimental plots are in the low and high marsh as indicated by GPS
points on Sheet 4 of 7.
Masonboro Island Reserve is approximately 5,653 acres in size and the area around the experimental plots ranges from
-3' below Normal High Water (NHW) to 1' above NHW. Masonboro Island is an undeveloped barrier island that is currently
part of the North Carolina Coastal Reserve and National Estuarine Research Reserve. It is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean
to the east, the AIWW to the west, Masonboro Inlet to the north, and Carolina Beach Inlet to the south. On the northern
terminus of Masonboro Island, adjacent to Masonboro Inlet, is a rock jetty that was constructed around 1980 to maintain
access through Masonboro Inlet. Masonboro Island is approximately 8.4 miles in length and consists of a narrow sandy
beach ranging in width from approximately 20'to 220'. The northern and southern tips of the island have well -established
dune ridges which can be observed from aerial photography. Along the middle of the island there are many over wash
sites in various stages of recovery, which is typical of an undeveloped barrier island. The island is vegetated by native
species with Sea Oats (Uniolo ponkulota) predominantly on the crest and ocean side of the dunes, and transitioning to
various beach tolerant species on the landward side of the dunes. There are pockets of maritime forest on the back side
of the island, and an eventual transition to high marsh consisting primarily of Salt Meadow Cord Grass (Spartina patens).
From the high marsh, there is an extensive swath of low marsh varying in width. Along the project area the low marsh
measures approximately 300' in width and consists primarily of Smooth Cord Grass (Spartina alterniflora).
The Wilmington -New Hanover County 2006 Land Use Plan classifies adjacent waters and high ground portion of the
property as Conservation. The waters of Loosin Creek and Masonboro Sound are classified SA-ORW by the Division of
Water Resources. They ARE designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries and they
are OPEN to the harvest of shellfish.
PROPOSED PROJECT
The applicant proposes to construct 40 wooden experimental plots (5 ftz each) to study sediment addition in the marsh.
The application states that the purpose of the project is to understand whether sediment addition is an effective
strategy for marshes in the face of sea level rise, and the potential to use dredged sediment to benefit marsh vegetation.
The applicant proposes to investigate by constructing 40 wooden frames measuring approximately 2.3' by 2.3' and 5.5"
in height with stakes to hold them in place. These frames would be placed in low and high marsh to contain added
sediment (see Sheet 6 of 7). The plots would be grouped by 4s, with 5 groups of 4 wooden frames sited in the higher
marsh area and 5 groups of 4 wooden frames in the low marsh area (see Sheet 4 of 7 and Appendix 1). Each group of 4
would consist of the following: 1) no sediment addition (control), 2) addition of 2.75" of standardized sediment, 3)
addition of 5.5" of standardized sediment, and 4) addition of 2.75" of dredged sediment. The standardized sediment
would consist of a mixture of sand and organic soil. The dredged sediment would come from a nearby spoil island (see
narrative). The total amount of added sediment across all plots would collectively be approximately 3 cubic yards. The
application states that the plots would be monitored prior to sediment addition and in 6 months intervals until project
completion at 3 years. The application also states that all containment barriers would be removed at the end of the
project and any sediment addition plots that are void of vegetation would be graded to match surrounding sediment
elevation and re -vegetated. The proposed experimental plots would result in the filling of approximately 212 ft2 of
Coastal Wetlands primarily consisting of Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora), however there is also Salt Wort
(Salicornia spp.), Sea Lavender (Limonium caroliniona), and Spike Grass (Distichlis spkato) around the higher marsh
plots.

RECEIVE®
FEB 19 2018
The new structures and sediment addition would result in the filling of 212 ft2 of Coastal We ohlkhM fJ f acG p fhe
Waters and Public Trust Area. No SAV or live shell resource was observed in the experimental plot areas. The low marsh
plots consist of mostly silty mud sediment, while the higher marsh plots have a mix of mud and sand sediment. Based on
the application, the proposed structures would not encroach into the adjacent 15' riparian corridor setback requirements.
The application states that all sediment transport will occur via small skiff and marsh mats and marsh carts will be used to
minimize impacts to the surrounding marsh during construction.

Thin -layer sediment placement: evaluating an adaptation strategy to enhance
coastal marsh resilience L7CM- MHD CATY
Brandon Puckett
North Carolina Coastal Reserve and National Estuarine Research Reserve
North Carolina Division of Coastal Management
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Tidal marshes provide key ecosystem services, but are threatened by sea level rise (SLR). Recent
research at 16 National Estuarine Research Reserves (NERR), including Masonboro Island
NERR in New Hanover County, suggests marshes across the country may be vulnerable to sea
level rise [1]. Long-term marsh vegetation monitoring at Masonboro Island NERR suggests
vegetation is being impacted by increased water levels. In the low marsh, percent cover of
Spartina alterniJlora is decreasing over time (Figure la), whereas high marsh vegetation (e.g.,
Spartina patens) is being displaced by low marsh species (Spartina alterniora) as it migrates
upland (Figure lb). The proposed project moves beyond assessing vulnerability of marshes to
SLR and monitoring marsh vegetation to actively testing strategies to reduce vulnerability. We
plan to conduct replicated restoration experiments examining the effectiveness of thin -layer
sediment placement as an adaptation strategy for marshes within the Masonboro Island NERR
(and 7 other NERRs in other states across the nation). Sufficient sediment supplies and/or robust
rates of peat formation are required for marsh elevation to track future rises in water level.
Sediment addition raises the elevation of the marsh plain, lending the marsh greater `elevation
capital'. A potential "win -win" source is sediment dredged from nearby harbors and navigation
channels.

Beneficial use of dredged sediment to enhance coastal resilience is a concept that resonates in
many coastal states. The project team has interviewed 32 and surveyed 86 end users involved in
funding, permitting, implementation or monitoring of thin -layer sediment projects. Many of
these end -users attended the USACE's recent three-part webinar series on thin -layer sediment
addition. End -users identified the following needs a) more case studies across tIP6i6u-ntiyYo'E1D

identification of conditions and sites where this strategy would be most successful, d) standard
monitoring protocols, e) guidance on navigating the permitting process and f) public outreach to
explain the rationale and potential benefits of beneficial re -use of sediment for marsh restoration.
PROJECTAPPROACH
The proposed project addresses several core research questions that have been articulated by
local, regional, and national end -users engaged in marsh management, monitoring, or funding:
• Is sediment addition an effective adaptation strategy for marshes in the face of SLR?
• How does marsh resilience respond to different levels of sediment addition?
• How do low vs. high marsh habitats differ in their response to this restoration strategy?
• Do responses to sediment addition vary by region or plant species?
• How should numeric restoration targets be defined and monitored to determine success
of sediment addition projects?
We will answer these questions by implementing a coordinated restoration experiment at
the eight participating Reserves in four bioregions along two coasts to provide broad
geographic scale rather than limiting project relevance to only one site or estuary. Within an
individual Reserve (e.g., Masonboro Island), however, the project scale will be very small to
keep to a limited budget, minimize permit requirements, and to ensure project feasibility.
Technical methodology: The experimental design of our project will largely follow the before
after -control -impact approach that requires monitoring both before and after sediment addition in
experimental plots and in additional plots to serve as experimental controls. Within this design
we will evaluate marsh responses to sediment addition at two different levels of three factors —
marsh elevation, sediment thickness, and sediment type --that managers must consider when
implementing sediment addition projects. To evaluate the effects of elevation, we will work in
two distinct habitats that occupy very different elevation regimes relative to local water levels.
Our site selection approach in the low marsh is to focus on bare or largely bare areas that have
recently been degraded due to SLR. The emphasis in this habitat is to provide drowning areas
with new elevation capital and to allow low marsh vegetation to return. In the high marsh, we
will largely focus on using sediment to support special high marsh communities that are
threatened by SLR. We will select areas that have recently lost native high marsh communities
via SLR -induced vegetation shifts; the focus of sediment addition in these cases will be on
returning native high marsh vegetation.
We will also evaluate the effects of adding different levels of sediment thickness to our plots. In
our project survey, end -users identified a sediment thickness of 10-15 cm as the highest priority
to evaluate. Based on this, we chose 14 cm (5.5 in) as the high sediment thickness treatment to
evaluate and coupled this with a low -end treatment of 7 cm (2.75 in), which may be valuable to
represent sites where incremental maintenance applications over a series of years (or periods)
may be better suited than a one-time thick sediment addition.
Two sediment types will be tested. We will add a standardized mixture of sand and organic
soil to some experimental plots at a thickness of 7cm and 14cm. If available at time of pre vy E L.

We will also add dredged sediment from a nearby spoil i9kQM-e4HQnQ1XoYs at a
thickness of 7cm. The spoil island is located at-77.822514°W, 34.1929700N.
All sediment addition plots will be established in the same consistent manner to ensure that data
and results are seamlessly comparable within and among Reserves. There will be n=4 plots in
each of n=5 low and high marsh replicates for a total of 40 plots at each Reserve (see Appendix
1 for plot coordinates). All experimental field plots will be enclosed by a containment barrier
consisting of a wooden frame to reduce sediment slumping, erosion, and loss during the
experiment but allowing for flooding and drainage during tidal cycles (Figure 2). Containment
barriers will be removed at the end of the project. Any sediment addition plots that are void of
vegetation at the end of the project will be graded to match surrounding sediment elevation and
re -vegetated (see Appendix 2 for project timeline).
Three of the four plots within each marsh elevation
replicate will receive sediment (2 plots with sand and
organic soil, 1 plot with dredged sediment). The
remaining plot will serve as a control. All plots will
be 0.5 mZ (0.7 m x 0.7 m) and will be randomly
placed within the available habitat type and elevation
appropriate for each treatment. Total area of
wetlands disturbed will be 20 m2 (212 it). The
total amount of sediment added will be --3 cu yds.
The general study area where plots will be located in
Masonboro Island NERR is depicted in Figure 3. The
study area is comprised of several wetland plant
species including Spartina alternii lora, Salicornia
spp., Borrichia frutecens, Spartina patens, Limonium
spp., Distichlis spicata. The proposed study area is
located in an area where Reserve staff (including B.
Puckett) continue to conduct long-term monitoring of
marsh vegetation and marsh surface elevation.
Field methods and monitoring: Our monitoring will
focus on three core elements — marsh vegetation, elevation, and sediment properties.
Vegetation surveys: We will monitor vegetation in experimental plots using the point -
intercept method, a highly -quantitative method that serves as the basis for the NERR
biomonitoring program. Pre -restoration vegetation monitoring will proceed immediately before
sediment addition (March 2018). Post -restoration monitoring will occur at approximately six-
month intervals thereafter until project completion (3 years).

Elevation changes: We will
employ a two -tiered approach to
monitor changes in plot elevation
during the experiment. The first tier
will use laser levelling (sub -cm
vertical accuracy) from appropriate
benchmarks to measure plot
elevation immediately before and
immediately after sediment addition,
and then again after two years. The
second tier will provide a higher -
resolution picture of elevation
changes. We will use elevation pins
made from thin copper pipe and
modified with an attachment to
measure eight surface elevations in a
straight line within each plot, but
away from the center pin,
immediately before and after
sediment addition and then again
after two years. We will also deploy
thin feldspar marker horizons on
each plot both above and below
added sediment at the start of the
experiment to track subsidence,
erosion should it occur, and surface
accretion over the course of the
study.

composition varies between natural marshes and sediment addition sources, we will analyze
sediment composition, including organic content, bulk density, and particle size distribution at
three high marsh and three low marsh control plots from each Reserve, and compare this to the
added sediment mixture. We will also analyze the composition of the new surficial sediment
accreted above our feldspar marker horizons in all plots at the end of the study. Particle size
distribution will be measured. Likewise, we will assess porewater differences among treatments
by sampling all plots with diffusion samplers at a depth of 10 cm at the end of the study.
Porewater will be analyzed for pH, salinity, redox, alkalinity and sulfide concentration.
Permitting: All of the Reserves participating in this thin -layer placement project have
incorporated the project activities into their NOAA 315 applications. The NEPA review,
including Endangered Species Act (ESA) and National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA)
consultations, has been conducted for the project at Masonboro Island NERR.

The Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your application for State approval for
development of the subject property located at Masonboro Island Reserve, adjacent to Loosin Creek and Masonboro
Sound, near Wilmington, New Hanover County. It was received as complete on January 29, 2018 and appears to be
adequate for processing at this time. The projected deadline for making a decision is April 14, 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 January 29, 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.
NCGS 113A-119(b) requires that Notice of an application be posted at the location of the proposed development.
Enclosed you will find a "Notice of Permit Filing" postcard which must be posted at the property of your proposed
development. You should post this notice at a conspicuous point along your property where it can be observed from
a public road. Some examples would be: Nailing the notice card to a telephone pole or tree along the road right-of-
way fronting your property; or at a point along the road right-of-way where a private road would lead one into your
property. Failure to post this notice could result in an incomplete application.
An onsite inspection will be made, and if additional information is required, you will be contacted by the appropriate
State or Federal agency. Please contact me if you have any questions and notify me in writing if you wish to receive
a copy of my field report and/or comments from reviewing agencies.
