for measuring future oceanfront setbacks. The static vegetation line, which is defined as the vegetation
,"line that existed within one year prior to the onset of initial project construction, shall be established
using on -ground observation and survey or aerial imagery. This static vegetation line shall then be
'marked and a survey depicting this static vegetation line shall be submitted to the Division of Coastal
anagement prior to any beach nourishment activities.
The seaward nourishment limit shall be conducted in accordance with the attached work plats labeled
"Beach Fill Profiles", figure 4 of 6 dated 1/27/17.
Temporary dikes shall be used to retain and direct flow of material parallel to the shoreline to minimize

2 Supplemental Information, per Forms DCM MP-1 and DCM MP-2
2.1 Per Form MP-1, Section 6a: Project Narrative
2.1.1 Project Scoping and History
On January 31, 2017, the Town of Southern Shores held an interagency meeting in Washington, North Carolina
with state and federal agencies including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS), the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (DCM), North Carolina Division
of Marine Fisheries (DMF), North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ), North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission (NCWRC), Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), and United States Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE) to present the scope of a proposed locally sponsored shoreline protection project,
as well as develop a permitting approach and scope for necessary environmental documentation.
Within the recent past, three other beach towns in Dare County (Kill Devil Hills, Kitty Hawk, and Duck) have
obtained permits and authorizations to construct beach nourishment projects in proximity to Southern Shores.
During the planning phases of those projects, similar scoping meetings for were held on September 14, 2011 and
June 19, 2013. It was determined that BOEM and the USACE would act as joint -lead agencies for NEPA
purposes, and would prepare joint NEPA documents. BOEM and the USACE agreed to participate in the required
Endangered Species Act (ESA) Section 7 consultations; the Magnuson -Stevens Fishery and Conservation
Management Act Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) consultation (Section 305); the National Historic Preservation Act
Section (NHPA) Section 106 process; and the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) Section 307 consistency
process. In a letter from BOEM to the USACE, dated December 2, 2014, it was stated that lead agency in ESA
Section 7 consultation for potential impacts on protected species would be determined by jurisdiction. The BOEM
was the lead agency and consulted with NMFS concerning potential effects from dredging activities for species
under their purview (e.g. swimming turtles and whales). The USACE was the lead agency and consulted with
UFWS concerning effects from placement activities for species under their purview (i.e. nesting sea turtles).
BOEM and the USACE consulted jointly with NMFS Habitat Conservation Division on EFH and request NMFS
to assign conservation recommendations by jurisdiction. The USACE was the lead agency for the National
Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) Section 106, and notified the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and
relevant Tribal Historic Preservation Offices (THPO). The USACE and BOEM worked with the North Carolina
Department of Environmental and Natural Resources (NCDENR), to ensure compliance with Section 307 of the
Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA).
The USACE and BOEM concluded their consultations with NMFS and USFWS through the issuance of
Biological Opinions (BOs). The BO from USFWS was issued on November 4, 2015 while the BO from NMFS
was issued on May 16, 2016. CAMA Major Permits issued by DCM for the Towns of Duck, Kill Devil Hills,
and Kitty Hawk were issued on December 1, 2015.
Individual Permits for each of the three towns were subsequently issued by the Department of Army on May 25,
2016. A lease from BOEM for the extraction of 4.825 million cubic yards of material from two offshore borrow
areas was issued to Dare County on September 2, 2016.
Because the proposed project at Southern Shores will utilize the same borrow source and shares the same
construction methods as the other three Dare County beach towns it was determined by the USACE during the
January 31, 2017 scoping meeting that the Kitty Hawk Individual Permit could be modified to include the proposed
shoreline protection project at Southern Shores. As such, the previously issued BOs could be used for this propose
project and would be amended accordingly. The BOEM lease would be modified to include the volumetric

requirements of this project, as well. The State, however, suggested that a stand-alone Major CAMA permit issued
to Southern Shores would be required from the Division of Coastal Management (DCM).
2.1.2 Proposed Action
The proposed action is a one-time beach nourishment project that would include sand placement along a total of
2,500 feet (0.47 miles) of oceanfront shoreline and dunes within Southern Shore's town limits.
The main placement area of the proposed project begins at the southern town limit (baseline station 0+00) at the
Kitty Hawk/Southem Shores border. The main placement area extends 1,500 northward. A taper section extends
and additional 1,000 feet with the fill terminating at baseline station 25+08. Dunes that have undergone significant
scarping will be reshaped along the 2,500 feet of shoreline as needed. The total fill area below MHW is 610,516
square feet (14.02 acres), and the total fill area above MHW is 411,984 square feet (9.465acres), for a total
disturbed area of 1,022,500 square feet (23.48 acres).
The proposed construction template consists of a berm ranging from approximately 100 to 160 feet wide at an
elevation of +6 feet NAVD88. Dunes that require reshaping will be constructed at an elevation no higher than
+23.4 feet NAVD88. Complete plan view and cross sectional drawings of the proposed project are provided in
Appendix A.
The staging area for the proposed project is located within the eastern portion of a public parking lot at Byrd Street
in the Town of Kitty Hawk. This parking lot, which abuts the beach, will also include a construction corridor by
which machinery can access the beach (Appendix A, sheet 3). Additional construction access point will be located
just north of the Kitty Hawk pier, extending from the public parking lot at the Hilton Garden Inn onto the beach
and at Ocean View Loop in Southern Shores (Appendix A, sheet 3). No impervious surfaces or alterations to the
dunes will be required for use of these areas.
The amount of material required to construct the preferred design is 80,000 cy. Actual dredge volume could be up
to 20% higher than the fill volume, dependent upon the loss rate. Using a conservative estimate of 20% loss rate,
the total dredged volume would be approximately 96,000 cy.
Material will be obtained from the offshore borrow areas (more information on the borrow area is provided below
in Section 2.1.4) using a hopper dredge. The dredged material would be transported to a nearshore pump -out
location and would then be subsequently pumped to the beach via pipeline. A sand dike will be constructed on
the seaward side of the discharge area. The sand slurry will be discharged behind the temporary dike, and excess
water will be directed parallel to the shoreline and around the edge of the dike. Once discharged onto the beach,
the material will be shaped and graded using loaders, dozers, and other earth moving equipment.
Due to the use of a hopper dredge, the proposed project will employ relocation trawling as a means to reduce the
potential for entrainment of protected species, such as sea turtles and Atlantic sturgeon. The protocols and
techniques of relocation trawling were researched and developed by the USACE, and have become a standard
practice for reducing lethal sea turtle takes during dredging projects. Two types of trawls are used during hopper
dredging projects. Sea turtle abundance trawling is employed several days before commencement of dredging
activity, and is used to determine the abundance of sea turtles in the area. Relocation trawling will be performed
during active hopper dredging or in coordination with the NMFS. Essentially, this method employs a capture -
relocation technique, and is targeted at the active dredging site within the borrow area. The distance covered by
each tow may vary as dictated by large vessel traffic in the area, or by the size and configuration of the borrow
site. A separate vessel, usually a shrimp trawler, deploys a trawling net ahead of the apprrooacching_drl_ g t remove

sea turtles from the dredge's path. Typically, trawlers tow two specially designed 60-foot trawl nets in the vicinity
of the dredge on a 12 or 24 hour schedule. The position at the beginning of each tow is determined from GPS
positioning equipment, and tow speed is recorded at the approximate midpoint of each tow. Water temperature
measurements are also taken twice per day, and weather conditions (air temperature, wind velocity and direction,
sea state, wave height, precipitation) are recorded by instrumentation and visual observations aboard the trawler.
If relocation trawling is implemented, standard relocation trawling conditions will be observed as set forth by
NMFS including specification for trawl time, handling, holding conditions, take and release, any tagging, etc.
In addition to relocation trawling, other measures will be implemented to reduce the threat of takes during hopper
or cutterhead dredging. These include use of a turtle deflector on the hopper dredge draghead, insuring pumps are
disengaged if a drag head or rotating cutterhead is lifted from the bottom, and use of NMFS-certified Protected
Species Observers aboard hopper dredges. On the beach, several steps will be taken to minimize construction
impacts to nesting and hatchling sea turtles. Artificial lighting used during nighttime construction activities will
be angled and/or shielded to reduce deterrence of sea turtle nesting and hatchling disorientation. Sea turtle nest
monitoring is also considered an important part of sea turtle conservation, therefore a sea turtle nest monitoring
and avoidance/relocation plan will be implemented through coordination with USFWS and NCWRC. Dare
County is included in surveys conducted by Network for Endangered Sea Turtles (N.E.S.T), the volunteer
organization which performs systematic surveys of the northern Outer Banks from the Virginia border to the
southern tip of Nags Head. Surveys are performed throughout the nesting season (May through August), and
include daily morning patrols to mark and protect newly laid nests, as well as monitoring during incubation period
and emergence. These surveys have been performed since 1981. Because the Southern Shores project proposes
nourishment during the summer months (nesting season), monitoring will be needed to identify, and subsequently
avoid burial or excavation of, existing nests during construction. This monitoring will be performed by trained
individuals knowledgeable of the beach construction operations. In addition to monitoring surveys, nest relocation
will be implemented by highly trained individuals and in coordination with the appropriate agencies.
2.1.3 Construction Schedule
The inclement weather typically encountered during the winter months offshore the northern outer banks makes
dredging difficult and often reduces dredging efficiencies. Elevated sea states poses a substantial safety risk to
crews and equipment, while weather -related down times raise costs and reduce efficiency. As such, the Town
proposes for this project to be constructed during the calmer and safer summer months along with the other three
towns in Dare County. Construction during this time of the year will give the contractor the most flexibility and
provide a safer and more economical work environment. To allow for the greatest scheduling flexibility, no start
and end date will be specified; rather, this will remain at the discretion of the contractor, and will be based on
equipment availability and weather conditions. The contractor could utilize multiple pieces of equipment and
construct the four projects in parallel, leading to a minimum construction time for all four projects of 3.5 months.
This timeframe is based on the production rates for hopper dredges achieved during the 2010-2011 Nags Head
project. The production rate has been adjusted to account for distances from the project areas to the identified
borrow areas.
2.1.4 Borrow Areas and Sediment Analysis
Beach quality sand will be dredged from a borrow area known as `Borrow Area A" using a self-contained ocean -
certified hopper dredge. The borrow area is located entirely within federal waters, i.e. seaward of the Three
Nautical Mile Line, placing them under the jurisdiction of BOEM (Appendix A, sheets I and 2).
Coastal Planning & Engineering, Inc. of North Carolina (CPE-NC) conducted a comprehensive sand search using
a systematic methodology involving three sequential phases of investigation. Phase I involves.f EWE110

DCM- R"HD C`TY

desktop study that examined previously collected information within the geologic context of the investigation
area in order to identify features with the highest potential of containing project compatible sand. Results of
jetprobe investigations of several shoal features offshore Dare County by CPE-NC in 2013 as part of a feasibility
study for the Town of Kill Devil Hills were also considered during this phase. Details of the findings of Phase I
can be found in the full geotechnical report (Appendix Q. Surveying, sampling and analysis of the Southern
Shores native beach was also conducted. In order to meet state requirements, 13 samples were collected along a
profile at baseline station -20+00 within the Town of Southern Shores. Samples were collected along the profile
from the Dune, Toe of Dune, Mid -berm, Berm Crest, Mean High Water (MHW), Mean Tide Level (MTL), Mean
Low Water (MLW), Trough, Bar Crest as well as 4 additional samples seaward of the bar crest out elevation -
20.0 ft. NAVD88 (See Table 1 and Figure 2 in Appendix Q. Results of mechanical sieve analysis were
composited for the transect and combined with the five (5) profiles sampled throughout the Town of Kitty Hawk
to develop composite characteristics by elevation and for the total project area (all 6 profiles). These composites
were used in assessing the compatibility of the proposed borrow areas with the native beach. The composite
summary and grain size analysis results are displayed in Table 1 of this project narrative. Additionally, the results
of sediment analyses for each sediment sample can be found within the Beach Composite Summary Tables
provided in Appendix C.
During the interagency meeting on January 31, 2017, NC DCM representatives stated that the survey conducted
for the Kitty Hawk project could be used for the South Southern Shores project. That survey was conducted by
CPE-NC on May 12, 2015. The survey area covered —50,000 square feet of the Kitty Hawk project area from a
point approximately 545 ft. north to 80 ft. south of Bleriot Street. The area was staked out using GPS to mark the
four (4) corners of a rectangular section of the beach measuring approximately 625 ft. along the beach and 80 ft.
across the beach from the toe of dune to the MLW Line. The area was divided into 25 ft. x 20 ft. blocks to
facilitate the counting of clasts > 3 inches in each block. The total number of clasts > 3 inches in diameter
identified during the survey of the representative project area in the Town of Kitty Hawk was 403.
Information gathered during the Phase I archival literature studies regarding the geological setting of the project
area give no indication that hardbottom habitats are present within or in the vicinity of the borrow areas.
Additionally, previous geotechnical and geophysical investigations conducted by the USACE have not indicated
the presence of hardbottoms in the area. Finally, analysis of the sidescan sonar data acquired by CPE-NC for the
present project indicated no presence of hardbottom habitats or consolidated rock exposures or outcroppings
within or in the vicinity of the borrow areas.
Phase II investigations involved reconnaissance level geophysical surveys in order to 1) define the extent of
sediment layers identified during Phase I research of past jetprobe data and historic vibracore and surface sediment
data; 2) develop a vibracore plan to be implemented during Phase III investigations, and 3) identify potential
environmental or cultural resources for avoidance during Phase III vibracore investigations. The bathymetric data
collected in both borrow areas during Phase II, as well as the locations of vibracores conducted during Phase III
are provided in Appendix A, sheets 5 through 8.
Results of the geotechnical investigations, including geophysical (sonar) surveys, vibracores, hydrographic
surveys, archaeological resource surveys and sand compatibility analyses, were performed to develop the final
borrow area designs. Design considerations for the proposed borrow areas included:
• Construction of the project may be accomplished using a hopper or cutterhead dredge
• Location of sufficient sand to construct the three proposed beach nourishment projects for the Towns of
Duck, Kitty Hawk, and Kill Devil Hills
• Beach compatible sand with similar mean grain size and sorting of the project beaches RECEIVED
• Avoidance of environmentally sensitive areas such as hardbottom, seagrass beds, etc.
13 MAR 2 7 2017
DCM- IISHD CiTY

• Avoidance of potentially significant cultural resources
• Avoidance of nearshore impacts due to wave refraction over borrow areas
The proposed design cuts for borrow area A is displayed in sheets 5 and 6 of Appendix A, respectively. Borrow
Area A has six design cuts ranging from -58.5 ft. to -70 ft. NAVD88, amounting to an estimated total dredge -able
volume of 17,350,000 cubic yards. Overall acreage for Borrow Area A is approximately 1,172.96 acres. A
summary of the sand compatibility analyses for each area is displayed in Table 1, and indicates these areas contain
material deemed compliant with the Kitty Hawk native beach according to standards set forth in the NC State
Sediment Criteria (15A NCAC 07H.0312). There are no State Standard Allowances for mean grain size or
Munsell color, however, these values are listed in the table for comparison between native beach and borrow
areas.

To determine the projects effects on potentially significant submerged cultural resources, Tidewater Atlantic
Research (TAR) carried out a background literature review and supervised a cultural resource investigation of the
proposed borrow area. The cultural resource report compiled by TAR is provided in Appendix B. A registered
archaeologist from TAR identified 9 magnetic anomalies in the vicinity of Area A, 4 of which were considered
potentially significant (Appendix A, sheet 5).. As a result, three buffer areas were established within Borrow Area
A — two are located within the borrow area and one is located outside the western perimeter (Appendix A, sheet
5). These areas will be avoided during dredging.
The stated volumes within both borrow areas meet the engineering requirements for the Southern Shores design
template plus dredging losses. The Towns of Duck, Kitty Hawk, and Kill Devil Hills are also currently pursuing
beach nourishment projects and proposed to use Borrow Area A and an additional borrow area known as Borrow
Area C. Taken together, the engineering requirements (including dredging losses) for the Southern Shores project
(96,000 cy), Kitty Hawk project (2,118,000 cy), Duck project (1,699,200 cy) and the Kill Devil Hills project
(1,008,000 cy) amount to a total dredged volume of 4,921,200 cy. Thus, the borrow areas, which together contain
a total of 19,399,000 cy of beach compatible material, can satisfy the requirements of all three projects.

OCEAN HAZARD AEC NOTICE
Project is in an: X Ocean Erodible Area X High Hazard Flood Area _ Inlet Hazard Area
Property owner: Town of Southern Shores
Property Address: 2,500 feet of oceanfront shoreline, Town of Southern Shores
Date Lot Was Platted: Easements Pending
This notice is intended to make you, the applicant, aware of the
special risks and conditions associated with development in this
area, which is subject to natural hazards such as storms, erosion
and cements. The rules of the Coastal Resources Commission
require that you receive an AEC Hazard Notice and
acknowledge that notice to writing before a permit for
development can be issued.
The Commission's rules on building standards, oceanfront
setbacks and done alterations are designed to minimize, but not
eliminate, property loss from hazards. By granting permits, the
Coastal Resources Commission does not guarantee the safety of
the development and assumes no liability for future damage to
the development. Permits issued in the Ocean Hazard Area of
Environmental Consent include the condition that structures be
relocated or dismantled if they become imminently threatened
by changes in shoreline configuration. The structure(s) most be
relocated or dismantled within two (2) years of becoming
imminently threatened, and in any case upon its collapse or
subsidence.
The best available information as accepted by the Coastal
Resources Commission, indicates that the annual long -tern
average ocean erosion rate for the area where your property is
located is 2 r,_ feet per year.
The rate was established by careful analysis of aerial
Photographs of the coastline taken over the past 50 years.
Studies also indicate that the shoreline could move as much as
50 — feet landward in a major storm.
The flood waters in a major storm are predicted to be about
14— feet deep in this area
Preferred oceunfrant protection measures are beach nourishment
and relocetiom of threatened structures. Hard erosion control
swmures such as bulkheads, seawalls, revelments, groins, jetties
and breakwaters are prohibited. Temporary sand bags may be
authorized under certain conditions.
The applicant must acknowledge this information and
requirements by signing this notice in the space below. Without
the proper signature, the application will not be complete.
SPECIAL NOTE: This hand notice is required for
development in areas subject to sudden and massive storms and
erosion. Permits issued for development in this area expire on
December 31 of the third year following the ,year in which the
permit was issued. Shortly before work begins on the project
site, the Local Permit Officer must be contacted to determine the
vegelatiom line and setback distance at your site. If the property
has seen little lunge since the time of permit issuance, and the
proposed development can still meet the setback requirement,
the LPO will inform you that you may begin work. Substantial
progress on the project must be made within 60 days of this
setback determination, or the setback must be re -measured. Also,
the occurrence of a major shoreline change as the result of a
stoma within the 60-day period will rnccsxitatc re-
measurement
of the setback. It is important that you check with the LPO
before the permit expires for official approval m continue the
work after the permit has expired. Generally, if foundation
pilings have been placed and substantial progress is continuing,
permit renewal can be authorized It is unlawful to continue
work after permit expiration.

Hi Lynn,
Are you referring to Figure 2 in Appendix B? This was meant to depict a representative cross section showing the
various features where samples were collected along each profile.
I have attached a modified figure showing the 2015 profile at -20+00 in Southern Shores with the precise locations
where the samples were taken back in January 2017.
Hope this helps!

Yes... I am looking through the material now to draft the Field report. I noticed the profile of the sample collected is not
form Southern Shores. Do you have the southern shores profile that you could e-mail.

The Honorable Tom Bennett
Mayor of the Town of Southern Shores
5375 N. Virginia Dare Trail
Southern Shores, NC 27949
Dear Mayor Bennett:
The NC Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of the
Town's application for State approval for development of property located
along the oceanfront shoreline of Southern Shores, Dare County. It was
accepted on March 15, 2017, and appears to be adequate for processing at
this time. The projected deadline for making a decision is May 29, 2017. 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 March
15, 2017, 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. RECEIVED

SUBJECT: Major Permit Request by the Town of Southern Shores for beach nourishment of
2,500 feet of oceanfront beach with material obtained from a borrow site located
in the Atlantic Ocean that will cover approximately 23 acres extending from the
southern town limit to 44 Ocean Boulevard, in the Town of Southern Shores.
DATE: March 30, 2017
Consistency Determination: The request is consistent with/not in conflict with Town of
Southern Shores CAMA LUP Update certified by the CRC on
August 30, 2012 and the Town of Kitty Hawk 2004 Core Land
Use Plan (LUP) certified by the CRC on June 17, 2005.
Overview: The project areas consist of 2,500 feet of oceanfront shoreline extending from the
Town of Kitty Hawk/Town of Southern Shores town limit north to 44 Ocean Boulevard; the Byrd
Street Public Access and parking area in Kitty Hawk, the Hilton Garden Inn parking area located
at 5353 North Virginia Dare Trail in Kitty Hawk; the Ocean View Loop Beach Access in Southern
Shores, and; a site totaling 1,173 acres in the Atlantic Ocean on the Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) located 19.2 miles from the shoreline area. There are approximately twenty-eight (28)
developed residential lots and three (3) beach access points along the oceanfront shoreline
project area. Erosion rates in this area are 2 feet per year. An accretion area between 0 to .8
feet per year extends from Ocean View Loop Beach Access north to 44 Ocean Boulevard.
Floodzones along the oceanfront shoreline are VE (EL 12). The Byrd Street Public Access is
located east of the Byrd St. intersection with NC 12 and consists of a constructed walkway and
an emergency vehicular access. The associated 24,000 sq. ft. paved parking area is located at
the northeast corner of Byrd Street and Lindbergh Avenue, 280 feet west of the public access.
Beach nourishment of 2,500 feet of oceanfront beach and nearshore with material obtained by
dredging from the ocean borrow site is proposed. The project will extend from the southern town
limit and end with a 1,000 foot long taper at 44 Ocean Boulevard. The average project width will
be 409 feet with a maximum project width of 540 feet. The placement of material will fill a
maximum width of 244 feet of Atlantic Ocean below mean high water and a maximum width of
164 feet of beach above mean high water. Total coverage area will be approximately 23 acres.
Approximately 96,000 cubic yards of beach quality sand will be removed from the borrow area.
A hopper dredge will be used to collect sand from the borrow area. Obtained sand will be
transported to a pump -out site just offshore and then piped the remaining distance to the beach.

A temporary dike will be constructed parallel to the shoreline and sand slurry will be pumped on
the landward side of the dike. Excess water will be directed around the edge of the dike and back
into the ocean. As sand is being pumped on the beach, bulldozers and front end loaders will
move the sand where needed to shape the new beach profile. Dredging will be conducted 24
hours a day, 7 days a week as weather permits and is estimated to take approximately 3.5
months. A summer month construction window is proposed.
Staging of equipment will occur from the Byrd Street Public Access and parking area. Equipment
will access the beach via the Hilton Garden Inn on the north side of the Kitty Hawk Pier (in Kitty
Hawk) and the Ocean View Loop Beach Access (in Southern Shores).
Upon project completion, the Town will install sand fencing along the project area landward of the
seaward toe of the reshaped dune.
No historic properties or properties eligible for inclusion in the National Register are present within
the proposed placement area. An archaeological assessment of the borrow area is included in
the application. Areas of potential cultural resource significance have been identified within the
borrow area and buffers have been established for avoidance.
According to sediment analysis of the borrow site provided by the applicant's consultant, sands
in the borrow site are within the allowable limits for placement on the receiving beach.
Potential impacts to sea turtles, marine mammals, fish, and benthic organisms are recognized.
Measures will be taken to identify and relocate any sea turtle nests and reduce potential takings
of protected species. It is noted that threatened and endangered species are known to occur in
or near the project area and may be impacted by the beach nourishment project.
The Atlantic Ocean is designated as "Coastal Waters" with a water quality classification of SB
(Primary Recreational, aquatic life propagation and survival, fishing and wildlife) and is open to
shellfish harvesting.
Anticipated Impacts resulting from this project are expected to include: the dredging of .37 acre
of Public Trust Area/Estuarine Waters Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC) and the filling of
14.02 acres of Public Trust Area/Estuarine Waters AEC and 9.46 acres of High Ground within the
Ocean Hazard AEC.
Basis for Determination:
In the Town of Southern Shores, the oceanfront shoreline project area is primarily located along
areas designated as "Residential" with two (2) "Recreation" areas and a single "Commercial" area.
As indicated on page 62, since the project areas are located within Areas of Environmental
Concern (AECs), the "Conservation" designation applies. The following LUP policies may be
applicable to this request.

governing the proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best
Management Practices and if applicable, comply vyith the specific conditions and
requirements of the NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit issued to the site:
a) Design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control
measures must be such that they equal or exceed the requirements specified in the most
recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices
shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects,
including contractor -owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project.
b) For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed,
installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the
North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
c) Reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in
accordance with the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act and the

10. Construction Stormwater Permit NCG010000
An NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit is required for construction projects that disturb
one (1) or more acres of land. This Permit allows stormwater to be discharged during land
disturbing construction activities as stipulated in the conditions of the permit. If your
project is covered by this permit, full compliance with permit conditions including the
erosion & sedimentation control plan, inspections and maintenance, self -monitoring, record
keeping and reporting requirements is required. A copy of the general permit (NCGO10000),
inspection log sheets, and other information may be found at
http://Dortal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ws/su/nr)dessw#tab-w.
11. Construction Moratoriums and Coordination
If activities must occur during periods of high biological activity (i.e. sea turtle nesting, fish
spawning, or bird nesting), then biological monitoring may be required at.the request of
other state or federal agencies and coordinated with these activities.
All moratoriums on construction activities established by the NC Wildlife Resources
Commission (WRC), US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), NC Division of Marine Fisheries
(DMF), or National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to lessen impacts on trout, anadromous
fish, larval/post-larval fishes and crustaceans, or other aquatic species of concern shall be
implemented. Exceptions to this condition require written approval by the resource agency
responsible for the given moratorium.
Work within the twenty-five (25) designated trout counties or identified state or federal
endangered or threatened species habitat shall be coordinated with the appropriate WRC,
USFWS, NMFS, and/or DMF personnel.
12. Dredging shall not cause Shellfish Closures
The effluent water from the dredge spoil should not be released into open shellfish waters.
Shellfish Sanitation and the Division of Water Quality must be notified if this is to occur.
13. Work in the Dry
All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted so that the flowing stream does
not come in contact with the disturbed area. Approved best management practices from the
most current version of the NC Sediment and Erosion Control Manual, or the NC DOT
Construction and Maintenance Activities Manual, such as sandbags, rock berms, cofferdams,
and other diversion structures shall be used to minimize excavation in flowing water.
Exceptions to this condition require application submittal to and written approval by the
Division.
14. Riparian Area Protection (Buffer) Rules
Activities located in the protected riparian areas (whether jurisdictional wetlands or not),
within the Neuse, Tar -Pamlico, or Catawba River Basins or in the Randleman, Jordan, or
Goose Creek Watersheds (or any other basin or watershed with buffer rules) shall be limited

to "uses" identified within and constructed in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0233, .0259,
.0243, .0250, .0267 and .0605, and shall be located, designed, constructed, and maintained
to have minimal disturbance to protect water quality to the maximum extent practicable
through the use of best management practices. All buffer rule requirements, including
diffuse flow requirements, must be met.
15. If concrete is used during the construction, then all necessary measures shall be taken to
prevent direct contact between uncured or curing concrete and waters of the state. Water
that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to waters of the state
due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life/ fish kills.
16. Placement of Culverts and Other Structures in Waters and Wetlands
Culverts required for this project shall be designed and installed in such a manner that the
original stream profiles are not altered and allow for aquatic life movement during low flows.
Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section dimensions, pattern, and longitudinal
profile) must be maintained above and below locations of each culvert.
Placement of culverts and other structures in waters and streams must be below the
elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48
inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than or
equal to 48 inches, to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life.
When topographic constraints indicate culvert slopes of greater than 5%, culvert burial is not
required, provided that all alternative options for flattening the slope have been investigated
and aquatic life movement/ connectivity has been provided when possible (rock ladders,
crossvanes, etc). Notification to the Division including supporting documentation to include a
location map of the culvert, culvert profile drawings, and slope calculations shall be provided
to the Division 60 days prior to the installation of the culvert.
When bedrock is present in culvert locations, culvert burial is not required provided that
there is sufficient documentation of the presence of bedrock. Notification to the Division
including supporting documentation such as, but not limited to, a location map of the
culvert, geotechnical reports, photographs, etc shall be provided to the Division a minimum
of 60 days prior to the installation of the culvert. If bedrock is discovered during construction,
then the Division shall be notified by phone or email within 24 hours of discovery.
If other site -specific topographic constraints preclude the ability to bury the culverts as
described above and/or it can be demonstrated that burying the culvert would result in
destabilization of the channel, then exceptions to this condition require application submittal
to, and written approval by, the Division of Water Quality, regardless of the total impacts to
streams or wetlands from the project.

Towns of Kitty Hawk/Southern Shores
DW R# 15-0460 v2
Individual Certification #4037
Page 8 of 10
Installation of culverts in wetlands must ensure continuity of water movement and be
designed to adequately accommodate high water or flood conditions. Additionally, when
roadways, causeways, or other fill projects are constructed across FEMA-designated
floodways or wetlands, openings such as culverts or bridges must be provided to maintain
the natural hydrology of the system as well as prevent constriction of the floodway that may
result in destabilization of streams or wetlands.
The establishment of native, woody vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization
techniques must be used where practicable instead of riprap or other bank hardening
methods.
17. All temporary fill and culverts shall be removed and the impacted area returned to natural
conditions within 60 days of the determination that the temporary impact is no longer
necessary. The impacted areas shall be restored to original grade, including each stream's
original cross sectional dimensions, plan form pattern, and longitudinal bed and bed profile,
and the various sites shall be stabilized with natural woody vegetation (except for the
approved maintenance areas) and restored to prevent erosion.
18. All temporary pipes/ culverts/ riprap pads etc, shall be installed in all streams as outlined in
the most recent edition of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and
Design Manual or the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual so as not to restrict stream flow
or cause dis-equilibrium during use of this Certification.
19. Any riprap required for proper culvert placement, stream stabilization, or restoration of
temporarily disturbed areas shall be restricted to the area directly impacted by the approved
construction activity. All rip -rap shall buried and/or "keyed in" such that the original stream
elevation and streambank contours are restored and maintained. Placement of rip -rap or
other approved materials shall not result in de -stabilization of the stream bed or banks
upstream or downstream of the area.
20. Any rip -rap used for stream stabilization shall be of a size and density so as not to be able to
be carried off by wave, current action, or stream flows and consist of clean rock or masonry
material free of debris or toxic pollutants. Rip -rap shall not be installed in the streambed
except in specific areas required for velocity control and to ensure structural integrity of bank
stabilization measures.
21. If this Certification is used to access building sites; then all lots owned by the applicant must
be buildable without additional impacts to streams or wetlands. The applicant is required to
provide evidence that the lots are buildable without requiring additional impacts to
wetlands, waters, or buffers if required to do so in writing by the Division. For road
construction purposes, this Certification shall only be utilized from natural high ground to
natural high ground.

22. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all retained jurisdictional
wetlands, waters, and protective buffers within the project boundaries in order to assure
compliance for future wetland, water, and buffer impact. These mechanisms shall be put in
place at the time of recording of the property or of individual lots, whichever is appropriate.
A sample deed notification can be downloaded from the Division's web site at
http:/Iportal.ncdenr.org/web/wolswp/ws/401/certsandpermits/apply/forms. The text of the
sample deed notification may be modified as appropriate to suit to a specific project.
Documentation of deed notifications shall be provided to the Division upon request.
23. If an environmental document is required under the National or State Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA or SEPA), then this Certification is not valid until a Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI) or Record of Decision (ROD) is issued by the State Clearinghouse.
24. In the twenty (20) coastal counties, the appropriate DWR Regional Office must be contacted
to determine if Coastal Stormwater Regulations will be required.
25. This Certification does not relieve the applicant of the responsibility to obtain all other
required Federal, State, or Local approvals.
26. The applicant/permittee and their authorized agents shall conduct all activities in a manner
consistent with State water quality standards (including any requirements resulting from
compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act), and any other appropriate requirements of
State and Federal Law. If the Division determines that such standards or laws are not being
met, including failure to sustain a designated or achieved use, or that State or Federal law is
being violated, or that further conditions are necessary to assure compliance, then the
Division may reevaluate and modify this Water Quality Certification.
27. Upon completion of all permitted impacts included within the approval and any subsequent
modifications, the applicant shall be required to return the certificate of completion attached
to the approval. One copy of the certificate shall be sent to the DWR Central Office in
Raleigh at 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650.

A North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (DCM) Fisheries Resource Specialist has reviewed
the subject permit application for proposed actions that impact fish and fish habitats. The Town of
Southern Shores is proposing beach nourishment along the oceanfront shoreline beginning at the Southern
Shores/Kitty Hawk town line and terminating at 44 Ocean Boulevard. The total project length will be
2,500 linear feet and will tie in with and run along with the permitted beach nourishment project in the
Town of Kitty Hawk. The borrow site for the sand will be an offshore site already permitted for use for
neighboring beach nourishment projects.
DCM fisheries prefers dredging and beach placement of sand project to adhere to an in -water work
moratorium from April 1. — September 30. This period of the year the near shore wash zone where the
sand will be placed sees its highest level of biological activity for not only finish but crustaceans as well.
However, since this project will be a continuation of neighboring projects that have been permitted and
will be occurring during the summer months a moratorium will not be requested as the project occurring
at a separate time could cause a longer project time and increase the time of impacts. Additionally, the
borrow site may be a portion. of the project that will be protected by the summer timing of the project as
the offshore shoals near the borrow site are heavily used as wintering grounds for Atlantic Sturgeon.
Contact Shane Staples at (A2) 948-3950 or [e-mail] with further questions or
concerns.

Habitat Conservation Division
DATE: April 13, 2017
SUBJECT: CAMA Dredge/Fill Permit Application for Town of Southern Shores, Dare County,
North Carolina.
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) reviewed the public notice
with regard to impacts on fish and wildlife resources. The proposed project would occur beginning at the
Southern Shores / Kitty Hawk town line and terminating at 44 Ocean Boulevard, off NC Hwy 12 in the
Town of Southern Shores, adjacent the Atlantic Ocean in Duck, NC. Our comments are provided in
accordance with provisions of the Coastal Area Management Act (G.S. 113A-100 through 113A-128), as
amended, Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act, as amended, and the Fish and Wildlife
Coordination Act (48 Stat 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.).
The Town of Southern Shores proposes to nourish 2,500' of ocean front with material from an offshore
borrow source in conjunction with the towns of Duck, Kitty Hawk, and Kill Devil Hills nourishment
projects. These borrow areas, Borrow Sites A and C, are to be used for all four towns, ,Mth the Town of
Southern Shores accounting for approximately 80,000 CY. Material will be removed by hopper dredge,
cutterhead dredge, or both and placed on the beach via a pipeline or via a hopper dredge to a pumpout site
just offshore and then piped the remaining distance. Abundance trawling (pre -project) and relocation
trawling for sea turtles will implemented. A temporary dike will be constructed parallel to the shoreline
and a sand slurry will be pumped on the landward side of the dike. Excess water will be directed around
the edge of the dike and routed back to the ocean. As material is placed on the beach, heavy equipment
will manipulate the new beach profile. The applicant has requested the ability to work 24 hours allay, 7
days a week, during any time of the year.
The NCWRC has reviewed the permit application and is concerned with the impacts the project may have
on wildlife resources if conducted during the nesting seasons of shorebirds and sea turtles. Federally
protected species that utilize the area include piping plover (Charadritts melodus melodus), red knot
(Calidris canunu• ntfa), roseate tern (Sterna dougallii dougallii) and Kemp's Ridley (Lepidochelys
kempi), hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata), Icatherback (Dermochelys coriacea), loggerhead (Caretta

caretta), and green (Chelonia mydas) sea turtles. Conducting nourishment activities during the nesting
shorebird moratorium April 1 -- August 31, and the sea turtle nesting moratorium, May I — November 15,
or until the last known nest has hatched, may have an adverse effect on some individuals even if measures
are taken to minimize impacts. These moratoria were established to protect threatened and endangered
species that use the shoreline for foraging and nesting. The applicant states the need to work during these
moratoria is due to adverse weather and the increased cost of the project. Although we understand
weather during the winter months will make the project more difficult, the impact of this project and the
cumulative impact of other projects during the nesting season may adversely affect wildlife resources.
The proposed construction schedule includes the time of peak migration for beach nesting shorebirds.
These birds forage in the project area during their migration along the Atlantic shore. Potential impacts
may include direct disturbance of birds as a result of continuous construction activities and decreased
recruitment of invertebrates that provide food. Placement of material on the beach during the summer
season would decrease invertebrate populations, especially if beach nourishment work is done in
subsequent years. Placement of material on the beaches outside the summer months would minimize
these impacts.
Dredging, especially by hopper dredges, during May through November would increase the likelihood of
sea turtle take incidents. The NMFS limits the number of incidental takes of sea turtles by dredging
activity in the southeastern U.S. Should this project result in turtle mortality, we assume they would
contribute to the overall allowance of incidental takes for dredging activities in the southeast.
Additionally, the placement of material on beaches may disrupt turtle nesting by causing lost nesting
opportunities, destruction of unmarked nests (not all eggs can be successfully located by nesting
monitors), and the misorientation of hatchlings due to artificial lights used at night on construction
equipment. Even with the proposed intensive monitoring for nesting turtles, a percentage of nests are still
expected to be unsuccessful due to missed nests or relocation failures. Some indirect impacts may include
an increased disturbance of nesting females and reduced availability of suitable nesting habitat due to
changes in the beach's physical characteristics, such as increased escarpment formation, increased
compaction levels, and other changes.
Beach quality material that is compatible with native beach material and meets the NC Division of
Coastal Management's sediment criteria is essential. If during construction non -compatible material is
placed on the beach, nourishment activities should stop, state and federal agencies should be notified, and
it should be determined if the dredge needs to move to an alternative location within the borrow source to
obtain compatible material. Additionally, state and federal agencies should assess the non -compatible
material for removal to determine if mitigation is required -
In conclusion, the NCWRC is concerned with the increased frequency and extent of beach nourishment
and the potential cumulative impact of these projects to shoreline habitats. While we prefer the project be
constructed outside of the sea turtle and shore bird nesting moratoria, including this project in conjunction
with other nourishment projects that have received relief from the preferred moratoria for this cycle will
reduce time, costs, and allow this section of oceanfront to recover from the event holistically rather than
be impacted again the next or following season. Therefore, we do not object to the issuance of the permit
provided measures to minimize impacts to wildlife resources are included and NCWRC is allowed to
work with our federal partners, county officials, and the contractor to ensure the most effective mitigation
strategies are employed.
We appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on this permit application. If you need further
assistance or additional information, please contact me at [phone] or at

SUBJECT: Town of Southern Shores CAMA Major Permit Recommendations
The Town of Southern Shores is proposing a one-time beach nourishment along 2,500 linear feet
(0.47 Miles) of ocean beach shoreline and dunes paralleling Ocean Boulevard from the Southern
Shores/Kitty Hawk Town line to 44 Ocean Boulevard. The project will include the placement of
beach quality sand along the 2,500' stretch of ocean beach and nearshore to provide a wider beach
and buffer storm impacts to the adjacent residential and vacation
rental properties. The main placement area will begin at the southern Town line baseline station
0+00 and extend 1,500' northward. A taper will extend an additional 1,000' and terminate at 44
Ocean Blvd at baseline station 25+08.
The placement of sand will widen the beach and offshore bar and attenuate wave action before
reaching adjacent structures. It is also the intent of this project to replace erosion losses and
augment the regional sand supply by using a non -littoral sand source, more specifically, Borrow A,
which is located 19.2' miles offshore within federal waters. The placement would not include the
storage of equipment, construction activities or the placement of sand over any existing dunes or
vegetation. Sand will be placed in a manner to match the natural contours of the dry beach, focusing
placement within the "active" beach zone.
15A NCAC 07H .0312 TECHNICAL STANDARDS FOR BEACH FILL PROJECTS
Placement of sediment along the oceanfront shoreline is referred to in this Rule as "beach fill."
Sediment used solely to establish or strengthen dunes or to re-establish state -maintained
transportation corridors across a barrier island breach in a disaster area as declared by the Governor
is not considered a beach fill project under this Rule. Beach fill projects including beach
nourishment, dredged material disposal, habitat restoration, storm protection, and erosion control
may be permitted under the following conditions:
(1) The applicant shall characterize the recipient beach according to the following methodology:
(a) Characterization of the recipient beach is not required for the placement of sediment

The total number of samples taken landward of MLW shall equal the total number of
samples taken seaward of MLW; In agreement with the Division of Coastal
Management, the Town of Southern Shores used five profile samples from the
Town of Kitty Hawk's "Shoreline Protection Project". A single profile was required
from within the Southern Shores project limits. See Table 1 of the Project
Narrative. See also page 3 of Appendix C.
(e) For the purpose of this Rule, "sediment grain size categories" are defined as "fine" (less
than 0.0625 millimeters), "sand" (greater than or equal to 0.0625 millimeters and less
than 2 millimeters), "granular" (greater than or equal to 2 millimeters and less than 4.76
millimeters) and "gravel" (greater than or equal to 4.76 millimeters and less than 76
millimeters). Each sediment sample shall report percentage by weight of each of these
four grain size categories; See Compatibility Analysis in Appendix C.
(f) A composite of the simple arithmetic mean for each of the four grain size categories
defined in Sub -Item (1)(e) of this Rule shall be calculated for each transect. A grand
mean shall be established for each of the four grain size categories by summing the mean
for each transect and dividing by the total number of transects. The value that
characterizes grain size values for the recipient beach is the grand mean of percentage
by weight for each grain size category defined in Sub -Item (1)(e) of this Rule; See
Appendix B, page 7 (Beach Characterization).
(g) Percentage by weight calcium carbonate shall be calculated from a composite of all
sediment samples along each transect defined in Sub -Item (1)(d) of this Rule. The value
that characterizes the carbonate content of the recipient beach is a grand mean calculated
by summing the average percentage by weight calcium carbonate for each transect and
dividing by the total number of transects. For beaches on which fill activities have taken

place prior to the effective date of this Rule, the Division of Coastal Management shall
consider visual estimates of shell content as a proxy for carbonate weight percent; Per
page 5 of Appendix C, Content determined and displayed in Granularmetric
Report.
(h) The total number of sediments and shell material greater than or equal to three inches
(76 millimeters) in diameter, observable on the surface of the beach between mean low
water (MLW) and the frontal dune toe, shall be calculated for an area of 50,000 square
feet (4,645 square meters) within the beach fill project boundaries. This area is
considered a representative sample of the entire project area and referred to as the
"background" value; For this project the Town of Southern Shores was permitted to
use sample data collected for the Town of Kitty Hawk Beach Protection Project.
See Appendix C, page 5 (Qualifying Clasts > Three Inches).
(i) Beaches that received sediment prior to the effective date of this Rule shall be
characterized in a way that is consistent with Sub -Items (1)(a) through (1)(h) of this
Rule and shall use data collected from the recipient beach prior to the addition of beach
fill. If such data were not collected or are unavailable, a dataset best reflecting the
sediment characteristics of the recipient beach prior to beach fill shall be developed in
coordination with the Division of Coastal Management; and, N/A
0) All data used to characterize the recipient beach shall be provided in digital and
hardcopy format to the Division of Coastal Management upon request. Provided as
requested.
(2) The applicant shall characterize the sediment to be placed on the recipient beach according
to the following methodology:
(a) The characterization of borrow areas including submarine sites, upland sites, and
dredged material disposal areas shall be designed to capture the three-dimensional
spatial variability of the sediment characteristics including grain size, sorting and
mineralogy within the natural system or dredged material disposal area; See
Geotechnical Report, Pages 8 and 9.
(b) The characterization of borrow sites shall include sediment characterization data
provided by the Division of Coastal Management where available. These data can be
found in individual project reports and studies, and shall be provided by the Division of
Coastal Management upon request and where available; N/A
(c) Seafloor surveys shall measure elevation and capture acoustic imagery of the seafloor.
Measurement of seafloor elevation shall cover 100 percent of each
submarine borrow site and use survey -grade swath sonar (e.g. multibeam or similar technologies)
in accordance with current US Army Corps of Engineers standards for navigation and dredging.
Seafloor imaging without an elevation component (e.g. sidescan sonar or similar technologies)
shall also cover 100 percent of each borrow site and be performed in accordance with US Army
Corps of Engineers standards for navigation and dredging. Because shallow submarine areas can
provide technical challenges and physical limitations for acoustic measurements, seafloor imaging
without an elevation component may not be required for water depths less than 10 feet (3 meters).
Alternative elevation surveying methods for water depths less than 10 feet (3 meters) may be
evaluated on a case -by -case basis by the Division of Coastal Management. Ele`` E IV E D

data shall be tide- and motion -corrected and referenced to NAVD 88 and NAD 83.
Seafloor imaging data without an elevation component shall be referenced to the NAD
83. All final seafloor survey data shall conform to standards for accuracy, quality control
and quality assurance as set forth by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The
current surveying standards for navigation and dredging can be obtained from the
Wilmington District of the USACE. For offshore dredged material disposal sites, only
one set of imagery without elevation is required. Sonar imaging of the seafloor without
elevation is not required for borrow sites completely confined to maintained navigation
channels, sediment deposition basins within the active nearshore, beach or inlet shoal
system; This information is available in Appendix C of the Geotechnical Report
submitted for the Town of Kitty Hawk, Duck and Kill Devil Hills applications,
Figures 21 and 22 for bathymetric imagery and Figures 27 and 28 for sonar
imagery.
(d) Geophysical imaging of the seafloor subsurface shall be used to characterize each
borrow site and shall use survey grids with a line spacing not to exceed 1,000 feet (305
meters). Offshore dredged material disposal sites shall use a survey grid not to exceed
2,000 feet_(610 meters) and only one set of geophysical imaging of the seafloor
subsurface is required. Survey grids shall incorporate at least one tie point per survey
line. Because shallow submarine areas can pose technical challenges and physical
limitations for geophysical techniques, subsurface data may not be required in water
depths less than 10 feet (3 meters), and the Division of Coastal Management shall
evaluate these areas on a case -by -case basis. Subsurface geophysical imaging shall not
be required for borrow sites completely confined to maintained navigation channels,
sediment deposition basins within the active nearshore, beach or inlet shoal system, or
upland sites. All final subsurface geophysical data shall use accurate sediment velocity
models for time -depth conversions and be referenced to NAD 83; Provided in
Geotechnical Report submitted for the Town of Kitty Hawk, Duck and Kill Devil
Hills applications, Figures 16 and 17 and in Appendix 9 in Appendix C.
(e) Sediment sampling of all borrow sites shall use a vertical sampling device no less than
3 inches (76 millimeters) in diameter. Characterization of each borrow site shall use no
fewer than five evenly spaced cores or one core per 23 acres (grid spacing of 1,000 feet
or 305 meters), whichever is greater. Characterization of borrow sites completely
confined to maintained navigation channels or sediment deposition basins within the
active nearshore, beach or inlet shoal system shall use no fewer than five evenly spaced
vertical samples per channel or sediment basin, or sample spacing of no more than 5,000
linear feet (1,524 meters), whichever is greater. Two sets of sampling data (with at least
one dredging event in between) from maintained navigation channels or sediment
deposition basins within the active nearshore, beach or inlet shoal system may be used
to characterize material for subsequent nourishment events from those areas if the
sampling results are found to be compatible with Sub -Item (3)(a) of this Rule. In
submarine borrow sites other than maintained navigation channels or associated
sediment deposition basins within the active nearshore, beach or inlet shoal sygtED

per six acres (grid spacing of 500 feet or 152 meters). Vertical sampling shall penetrate
to a depth equal to or greater than permitted dredge or excavation depth or expected
dredge or excavation depths for pending permit applications. All sediment samples shall
be integrated with geophysical data to constrain the surficial, horizontal and vertical
extent of lithologic units and determine excavation volumes of compatible sediment as
defined in Item (3) of this Rule; See Appendix 11: Vibracore logs, Appendix 12:
Vibracore photos, and Appendix 13: Individual Vibracore Granularmetric Reports
(in Appendix C) submitted with the Kitty Hawk Beach Protection Project
application.
(f) For offshore dredged material disposal sites, the grid spacing shall not exceed 2,000 feet
(610 meters). Characterization of material deposited at offshore dredged material
disposal sites after the initial characterization are not required if all of the material
deposited complies with Sub -Item (3)(a) of this Rule as demonstrated by at least two
sets of sampling data with at least one dredging event in between; N/A
(g) Grain size distributions shall be reported for all sub -samples taken within each vertical
sample for each of the four grain size categories defined in Sub -Item (1)(e) of this Rule.
Weighted averages for each core shall be calculated based on the total number of
samples and the thickness of each sampled interval. A simple arithmetic mean of the
weighted averages for each grain size category shall be calculated to represent the
average grain size values for each borrow site. Vertical samples shall be geo-referenced
and digitally imaged using scaled, color -calibrated photography; See Appendix 11:
Vibracore logs, Appendix 12: Vibracore photos, and Appendix 13: Individual
Vibracore Granularmetric Reports (in Appendix C) submitted with the Kitty
Hawk Beach Protection Project application.
(h) Percentage by weight of calcium carbonate shall be calculated from a composite sample
of each core. A weighted average of calcium carbonate percentage by weight shall be
calculated for each borrow site based on the composite sample thickness of each core.
Carbonate analysis is not required for sediment confined to maintained navigation
channels or associated sediment deposition basins within the active nearshore, beach or
inlet shoal system; See Appendix 16 and 17 as previously noted in (d).
(i) All data used to characterize the borrow site shall be provided in digital and hardcopy
format to the Division of Coastal Management upon request.
(3) The Division of Coastal Management shall determine sediment compatibility according to
the following criteria:
(a) Sediment completely confined to the permitted dredge depth of a maintained navigation
channel or associated sediment deposition basins within the active nearshore, beach or
inlet shoal system is considered compatible if the average percentage by weight of fine-
grained (less than 0.0625 millimeters) sediment is less than 10 percent; N/A
(b) The average percentage by weight of fine-grained sediment (less than 0.0625
millimeters) in each borrow site shall not exceed the average percentage by weight of
fine-grained sediment of the recipient beach characterization plus five percent;

4 and description on pages 10 and 11.
(f) Techniques that take incompatible sediment within a borrow site or combination of sites
and make it compatible with that of the recipient beach characterization shall be
evaluated on a case -by -case basis by the Division of Coastal Management.
(4) Excavation and placement of sediment shall conform to the following criteria:
(a)Sediment excavation depths for all borrow sites shall not exceed the maximum depth
of recovered core at each coring location; To be condition by the permit if issued.
(b)ln order to protect threatened and endangered species, and to minimize impacts to
fish, shellfish and wildlife resources, no excavation or placement of sediment shall
occur within the project area during times designated by the Division of Coastal
Management in consultation with other State and Federal agencies. The time
limitations shall be established during the permitting process and shall be made
known prior to permit issuance; To be condition by the permit if issued.
(c)Sediment and shell material with a diameter greater than or equal to three inches (76
millimeters) is considered incompatible if it has been placed on the beach during the
beach fill project, is observed between MLW and the frontal dune toe, and is in excess
of twice the background value of material of the same size along any 50,000-square-
foot (4,645 square meter) section of beach. In Kitty Hawk 403 clasts were
identified.
Per the applicant's consultant CP&E, sufficient data has been submitted as required by rule
to meet the Division's criteria. Should the responding agencies determine that a permit can
be issued based on their standards I would recommend issuance of the CAMA Major Permit
subject to the standard conditions, and mirroring the permits issued to the Towns of Duck,
Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills.

This document constitutes an amendment to the November 4, 2015, Biological Opinion (BO) on
the proposed dredging of offshore borrow sites and disposal of material on the beaches of Duck,
Kill Devil Hills, and Kitty Hawk in Dare County. Per discussions with the National Park Service
(NPS) and North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC), the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service) is aware that two hawksbill sea turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) nests
were discovered (through DNA analysis of eggshells) south of Hatteras on the Cape Hatteras
National Seashore in Dare County. Because this species has not been recorded as nesting in
North Carolina until now, the consultation for the three Dare County projects listed above did not
consider the potential for nesting by hawksbill sea turtles. However, because of the potential for
the hawksbill sea turtle to nest in the Action Area, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service)
has amended the BO to include consideration of this species.

8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The Town of Southern Shores is proposing beach nourishment along the ocean
beach fora distance of 2,500', beginning at the Southern Shores/Kitty Hawk Town line and terminating at 44
Ocean Boulevard. The project will entail the dredging of beach quality sand from an offshore borrow and
placement of that sand along the ocean beach and nearshore.

Project Setting
The Town of Southern Shores is situated between the Town of Duck to the north and the Town of Kitty Hawk to the
south on the Dare County "Outer Banks", and extends from the Atlantic Ocean to Gin Guite Creek and the Cumtuck
Sound to the west.
Incorporated as a municipality in 1979, the town has limited access by means of US 158 (N. Croatan Road) and NC
12 (Ocean Boulevard/Duck Road). The town has a permanent residential population of —2,867 and consists of
4.17square miles, with 3.72 miles of ocean beach. The Town is characterized as a quiet seaside residential
community comprised primarily of small low density neighborhoods consisting of single family homes, with mix of full
time residents and seasonal (vacation) visitors. Commercial uses are predominately located along two central
business districts on US 158 and Ocean Boulevard, with no commercial activity along the ocean beach.
The ocean beach is primarily used for recreation with limited dune and beach habitat. While aerial photographs do
not indicate that erosion is as aggressive as in neighboring Kitty Hawk, the limited habitat is the result of normal
ongoing disturbance from recreational and residential activities, as well as protective measures such as beach
bulldozing. Wildlife that is known to inhabit the beaches and waters within and adjacent to the Southern Shores
oceanfront includes, but is not limited to, Horseshoe Crabs (Limulus polyphemus), Ghost Crabs (Ocypode spp.),
Mole Crabs (Emerita talpoida), juvenile Hooded Seals (Cytophora cristata), Loggerhead Turtle (Caretta caretta),
Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis), and Gulls (Laridae).
Vegetation found on the landward side of the beaches includes, but is not limited to, American Beach Grass
(Ammophila breviligulata), Sea Oats (Uniola paniculata), Salt Meadow Hay (Spartina patens), Sea Shore Mallow
(Kosstelezykya virginica), Blanket Flower (gallarelia pulchella), Dwarf Palmetto (Subalminor), Sea Rocket (Cakile
edentula), Seashore Elder (Iva imbricate), Bitter Panicum (Panicum amarum), and a variety of non -indigenous
ornamentals planted by property owners.
Located offshore are two Outer Continental Shelf borrow sites (Borrow A and Borrow C) that were identified as
sources of sand for the Towns of Duck, Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills' Beach Nourishment projects. In the case of
the Southern Shores projects, only Borrow A will be reviewed. Borrow A is located —19.2 nautical miles southeast of
the project site within federal waters under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Energy Management (BOEM). BOEM
and the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) will be federal co -lead agencies for reviewing environmental
documents for the Town of Southern Shores Beach.
The width of the beach varies with seasonal accretion and erosion events with little to no homes along the ocean
front (within the project area) being characterized as eminently threatened. The erosion rate along the project
alignment is 2' per year, with the Division of Coastal Management's Oceanfront Erosion & Accretion Rate Map
showing a long-term trend of accretion between 0 to .8'. per year from the Ocean View Loop Beach Access north
—1,000' to 44 Ocean Boulevard. This stretch of beach falls within the project taper.
Development Proposal
The Town of Southern Shores is proposing a one-time beach nourishment along 2,500 linear feet (0.47 Miles) of
ocean beach shoreline and dunes paralleling Ocean Boulevard from the Southern Shores/Kitty Hawk Town line to

Town of Southern Shores
Beach Nourishment
Field Investigation Report
Page 3
44 Ocean Boulevard. The project will include the placement of beach quality sand along the 2,500' stretch of ocean
beach and nearshore to provide a wider beach and buffer storm impacts to the adjacent residential and vacation
rental properties. The main placement area will begin at the southern Town line (baseline station 0+00 on the
attached plan) and extend 1,500' northward. A taper will extend an additional 1,000' and terminate at 44 Ocean Blvd
at baseline station 25+08.
The placement of sand will widen the beach and offshore bar and attenuate wave action before reaching adjacent
structures. It is also the intent of this project to replace erosion losses and augment the regional sand supply by
using a non -littoral sand source, more specifically, Borrow A, which is located 19.2' miles offshore within federal
waters. The placement would not include the storage of equipment, construction activities or the placement of sand
over any existing dunes or vegetation. Sand will be placed in a manner to match the natural contours of the dry
beach, focusing placement within the "active" beach zone.
The preferred design will require 80,000cy of sand, with an actual; volume as high as 96,000cy to allow for an
estimated 20% loss during construction. Sand will be placed immediately adjacent to private property and will
necessitate easements prior to beginning any work. The location of staging area for support vehicles and equipment
will be at the Byrd Street Access in the Town of Kitty Hawk, two construction access points will be at Hilton Garden
on the north side of the Kitty Hawk Pier (in Kitty Hawk), and the Ocean View Loop Beach Access in Southern
Shores. Should access to the beach necessitate additional land disturbance not covered in this application request,
additional review may be required.

do not appear to be correct.

The dredge tot"t (r�j��cNipagand Kill Devil Hills, noted in the last paragraph on page 14 in the Narrative
are incorrect the totals presented for the permits issued are as noted above. The Duck, Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil
Hills will be using both Borrows A and C, which further highlights the abundant availability of beach quality sand for
the Southern Shores project.
The consultant has provided supporting documentation (in digital form) including Geophysical and Hydrographic
Surveys, cross sections profile of the receiving beach showing the requested 13 samples (see attached profile). In
agreement with the Division of Coastal Management the remaining five transects were accepted from the Kitty Hawk
sample area. In addition, the Town of Southern Shores utilized the clast sampling also undertaken along Kitty
Hawk's beachfront.
Sand will be obtained from the borrow using a hopper dredge. The sand will then be transported to a nearshore
pump -out and pumped to the beach by way of a marked pipeline that will be moved along the shore paralleling the
project alignment as needed. A temporary dike will be constructed parallel to the shoreline and a sand slurry will be
pumped on the landward side of the dike. Excess water will be directed around the edge of the dike and back into
the ocean. As sand is pumped onto the beach, bulldozers, excavators and front end loaders will move the sand
where needed to shape the new beach profile.
This process will be moved along the beach as needed to complete the process. The construction template will
include a berm ranging -100' to -160' wide with an elevation of +6' NAVD88. Dunes requiring reshaping will be
constructed at an elevation not to exceed +23.4' NAVD88. Upon completion of the sand placement the Town
proposes to construct sand fencing along the project area landward of the seaward toe of the reshaped dune.
Abundance trawling and relocation trawling will be used to reduce potential takings of protected species. Additional
measures that will include:1) identifying and relocating any existing nests prior to beginning work, 2) sea turtle nest
monitoring and relocation as needed, 3) angling and/or shielding of artificial lighting during all night operations to
reduce sea turtle nesting and hatchling disorientation, 4) turtle deflectors on the dredge drag head, 5) disengaging
pumps when lifting the drag head, and, 6) the use of National Marine Fisheries Service Certified Protected Species
Observers aboard the dredge vessel(s).
Scheduling of the project will be during the summer months to provide a safer and more flexible environment for the
excavation and placement of the sand, and is within the approved window for the adjacent beach nourishment
projects. Operations will include dredging 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, as weather permits to facilitate a speedy
completion of the project. Based on estimated production rates and the possible construction of the beaches in
parallel the minimum time to complete beach nourishment for all four projects is 3.5 months. While summer
dredging is presented as being the more efficient time to undertake this project, it also increases the chance of
adversely impacting protected or endangered species.

Anticipated Impacts
1) During the project, it is anticipated that noise levels will increase above surrounding background (ambient)
levels at the dredge site(s) and on the beach from heavy equipment.
2) Per the EA "Marine dredging produces broadband, continuous, low frequency sound that can be detected over
considerable distances and may trigger avoidance reactions in marine mammals (Thomsen et al., 2009) and
other organisms".
3) Per the EA the water bottom disturbance created by the dredge in the borrow areas "can negatively affect the
physiology and feeding behavior of visually orienting fish via increased turbidity", this impact can be reduced by
the use of a cutter suction dredge.
4) The placement of sand along the surf zone will have a temporary adverse effect benthic organisms.
5) The placement of sand along the surf zone and dredging of sand at the borrow sites will have a temporary
adverse effect on infaunal (burrowing) communities. Per the EA it is anticipated that these communities will be
recolonized from adjacent communities.
6) Threatened and endangered species are known to occur in or near project area, and may be impacted by the
beach nourishment project.
7) Per Rumbold, Davis and Parretta's book "Estimating the Effect of Beach Nourishment on Caretta caretta
(loggerhead sea turtle) Nesting," Collective results from their studies show that beach nourishment significantly
diminished loggerhead sea turtle nesting during the first season following the project. Temporary impacts by
increased turbidity could result in a decrease in dissolved oxygen during dredging and during the placement of
sand on the beach and near shore.
8) It is anticipated the proposed project would have only minor impacts to the marine water column at the borrow
areas.
9) The negative temporary effects to benthic organisms could occur during dredging at the offshore borrow sites
and during the placement of sand along the oceanfront shoreline.
10) Proposed sand fencing will encourage dune formation that can increase storm protection on a temporary basis.
11) The placement of sand on the existing beach and near shore will widen the beach and provide additional
protection from storm activity on a temporary basis.
12) Fill of 5,347,500sf or 122.7 acres of near shore/open water below MHW.
13) Fill of 3,658,000sf or 84.0 acres of beach above MHW.
14) Excavation of 2,600,000cy of sandy water bottom from offshore in Borrow C.

Town of Southern Shores Shoreline Protection Project
The Town of Southern Shores is in the early stages of assessing long term needs to sustain the
beaches that support a significant portion of their local economy and maintains the tax base of
the Town. Infrastructure protection, storm damage mitigation and rapid recovery from storm
events are important considerations. During initial public discussions regarding the assessment of
the Town's beaches, an erosion hot spot spanning approximately 1,500 ft. along the southern
most portion of the Town was identified.
Recently, three other beach towns in Dare County (Kill Devil Hills, Kitty Hawk, and Duck) have
obtained permits and authorizations to construct beach nourishment projects. These three
projects are scheduled to begin construction in May, 2017 (Figure 1). In an attempt to address
the immediate erosion hot spot identified along the Town's southern boundary, while evaluating
long-term shoreline management needs, the Town of Southern Shores is seeking their own
permits and authorizations to provide a one-time beach nourishment project that would include
sand placement along the most critically eroded portion of the Town's shoreline. This project
would coincide with the construction of the other three projects.
Figure 1. Location of the proposed Duck, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, and Southern Shores Shoreline
Protection Projects.

Town of Southern Shores Shore Protection Project
Coastal Planning & Engineering of North Carolina, Inc.
The main placement area of the proposed project would begin at the Kitty Hawk/Southern Shores
border at baseline station 0+00 and extend 1,500 feet. The proposed construction template
consists of a berm ranging from approximately 100 to 160 feet wide, at an elevation of +6 feet
NAVD88. A 1,000 foot taper section would tie into the main fill area and terminate at baseline
station -25+00 (Figure 2). The amount of material required to construct the main fill template
(Station 0+00 to-15+00) is approximately 80,000 cy. Actual dredge volume could be up to 20%
higher than the fill volume, dependent upon the loss rate. Using a conservative estimate of 20%
loss rate, the total volume dredged from the borrow area would be approximately 96,000 cy.

Figure 2. Plan view drawing of the proposed Southern Shores Shoreline Protection Project.
The beach quality sand will be dredged from Outer Continental Shelf borrow areas using a self-
contained ocean -certified hopper dredge, a cutterhead pipeline dredge, or a combination of the
two. The borrow area utilized for the Southern Shores Shoreline Protection Project is known as
Borrow Area A. This borrow area is located entirely within federal waters, i.e. seaward of the
Three Nautical Mile Line, placing them under the jurisdiction of BOEM (Figure 1). Dare
County has secured a lease from BOEM for the extraction of up to 4,825,000 cubic yards of
material to be used for the aforementioned three beach town projects which includes Borrow
Area A and Borrow Area C (which will be used for the Town of Duck only). The lease will be
modified as needed such that the volumetric limitations of the lease will allow for the inclusion
of this proposed project.

Construction Methods
For the use of a cutterhead dredge, sand will be transported from the borrow area to the beach as
a slurry via pipeline; use of a hopper dredge would involve transport to a nearshore pump -out
location, and subsequent pumping to the beach via pipeline. A sand dike will be constructed on
the seaward side of the discharge area. The sand slurry will be discharged behind the temporary
dike, and excess water will be directed parallel to the shoreline and around the edge of the dike.
Once discharged onto the beach, the material will be shaped and graded using loaders, dozers,
and other earth moving equipment. The staging area for this project will be located within the
eastern portion of the public parking lot at Byrd Street and the associated construction access
includes the portion of Byrd Street extending from the parking lot to the beach No impervious
surfaces or alterations to the dunes will be required for use of this area. A construction access
will also be located just north of the Kitty Hawk pier, extending from the public parking lot at
the Hilton Garden Inn onto the beach.
Borrow Areas and Sediment Analysis
Coastal Planning & Engineering, Inc. of North Carolina (CPE-NC) conducted a comprehensive
sand search using a systematic methodology involving three sequential phases of investigation.
Phase I involves a comprehensive desktop study that examined previously collected information
within the geologic context of the investigation area in order to identify features with the highest
potential of containing project compatible sand. Results of jetprobe investigations of several
shoal features offshore Dare County by CPE-NC in 2013 as part of a feasibility study for the
Town of Kill Devil Hills were also considered during this phase. Surveying, sampling, and
analysis of the Kitty Hawk native beach was also conducted during Phase I. In keeping with the
requirements set forth in the North Carolina State Sediment Criteria, CPE-NC performed shore -
perpendicular topographic and bathymetric surveys of the native beach to determine the beach
profile. The locations of the profiles surveyed by CPE-NC were based off a data set previously
collected by the US Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District. Each profile was surveyed
from a point 150 ft. landward of the vegetation line seaward out to an elevation no less than -20
ft. NAVD88. Of the profiles surveyed, characterization of the Kitty Hawk native beach was
generated from samples collected along five generally evenly spaced profiles within the Kitty
Hawk project area: 0+00, 50+00, 75+00, 110+00 and 160+00. As required by the State
Sediment Criteria, samples were taken at 13 locations along each of the 5 sampling profiles,
including: the dune, toe of dune, mid -berm, berm crest, mean high water, mean tide level, mean
low water, trough, bar crest and at -12.5, -15.0, -17.5 and -20.0. In total, CPE-NC collected a
total of 65 samples within the proposed project area in Kitty Hawk. The composite summary and
grain size analysis results are displayed in Table 1 of this project narrative.
Additionally, CPE-NC conducted a survey of 50,000 square foot portion of the Kitty Hawk
project area, from a point approximately 545 ft. north to 80 ft. south of Bleriot Street, to
determine the total number of clasts greater than 3 inches in diameter. A total of 403 clasts
greater than 3 inches in diameter were identified during the survey.
Information gathered during the Phase I archival literature studies regarding the geological
setting of the project area give no indication that hardbottom habitats are present within or in the
vicinity of the borrow areas. Additionally, previous geotechnical and geophysical investigations

Town of Southern Shores Shore Protection Project
Coastal Planning & Engineering of North Carolina, Inc.
conducted by the USACE have not indicated the presence of hardbottoms in the area. Finally,
analysis of the sidescan sonar data acquired by CPE-NC for the present project indicated no
presence of hardbottom habitats or consolidated rock exposures or outcroppings within or in the
vicinity of the borrow areas.
Phase II investigations involved reconnaissance level geophysical surveys in order to 1) define
the extent of sediment layers identified during Phase I research of past jetprobe data and historic
vibracore and surface sediment data; 2) develop a vibracore plan to be implemented during Phase
III investigations, and 3) identify potential environmental or cultural resources for avoidance
during Phase III vibracore investigations.
Results of the geotechnical investigations, including geophysical (sonar) surveys, vibracores,
hydrographic surveys, archaeological resource surveys and sand compatibility analyses, were
performed to develop the final borrow area designs. Design considerations for the proposed
borrow areas included:
• Construction of the project may be accomplished using a hopper or cutterhead dredge
• Location of sufficient sand to construct the three proposed beach nourishment projects for
the Towns of Duck, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills
• Beach compatible sand with similar mean grain size and sorting of the project beaches
• Avoidance of environmentally sensitive areas such as hardbottom, seagrass beds, etc.
• Avoidance of potentially significant cultural resources
• Avoidance of nearshore impacts due to wave refraction over borrow areas
A summary of the sand compatibility analyses for each area is displayed in Table 1, and
indicates these areas contain material deemed compliant with the Kitty Hawk native beach
according to standards set forth in the NC State Sediment Criteria (15A NCAC 07H.0312). There
are no State Standard Allowances for mean grain size or Munsell color, however, these values
are listed in the table for comparison between native beach and borrow areas.

To determine the projects effects on potentially significant submerged cultural resources,
Tidewater Atlantic Research (TAR) carried out a background literature review and supervised a
cultural resource investigation of the proposed borrow area. The cultural resource report
compiled by TAR is provided in Appendix B. A registered archaeologist from TAR identified 9
magnetic anomalies in the vicinity of Area A, 4 of which were considered potentially significant
(Appendix A, sheet 26). In area C, there were 65 magnetic anomalies, 25 of which were
considered potentially significant (Appendix A, sheet 30). As a result, three buffer areas were
established within Area A — two are located within the borrow area and one is located outside the
western perimeter (Appendix A, sheet 26). Likewise, 14 buffers were established in the vicinity
of Area C, five of which are located within or partially within the borrow area These areas will
be avoided during dredging.
Conservation Measures
The same conservation measures described in the NEPA documents and Batched Biological
Opinions for the three Dare County beach towns will apply to this proposed, roject at Southern
Shores as well. — lc�tZ h� lei f"'� , d ib
Should hopper dredging be utilized, the proposed project will employ relocation trawling as a
means to reduce the potential for entrainment of protected species, such as sea turtles and
Atlantic sturgeon. The protocols and techniques of relocation trawling were researched and
developed by the USACE, and have become a standard practice for reducing lethal sea turtle
takes during dredging projects. Two types of trawls are used during hopper dredging projects.
Sea turtle abundance trawling is employed several days before commencement of dredging
activity, and is used to determine the abundance of sea turtles in the area. Relocation trawling
will be performed during active hopper dredging or in coordination with the NMFS. Essentially,
this method employs a capture -relocation technique, and is targeted at the active dredging site
within the borrow area. The distance covered by each tow may vary as dictated by large vessel
traffic in the area, or by the size and configuration of the borrow site. A separate vessel, usually a
shrimp trawler, deploys a trawling net ahead of the approaching dredge to remove sea turtles
from the dredge's path. Typically, trawlers tow two specially designed 60-foot trawl nets in the
vicinity of the dredge on a 12 or 24 hour schedule. The position at the beginning of each tow is
determined from GPS positioning equipment, and tow speed is recorded at the approximate
midpoint of each tow. Abundance trawling will be employed 5 days prior to the commencement
of hopper dredging if SST is above 10°C, to determine relative abundance of sea turtles in the
area. If 1 turtle is captured during preliminary abundance trawling, then relocation trawling shall
be employed during the remainder of the dredging operation. If no turtles are captured during
abundance trawling, relocation trawling shall not be required and dredging may proceed. Water
temperature measurements are also taken twice per day, and weather conditions (air temperature,
wind velocity and direction, sea state, wave height, precipitation) are recorded by
instrumentation and visual observations aboard the trawler. If relocation trawling is
implemented, standard relocation trawling conditions will be observed as set forth by NMFS
including specification for trawl time, handling, holding conditions, take and release, any
tagging, etc.
In addition to relocation trawling, other measures will be implemented to reduce the threat of
takes during hopper or cutterhead dredging. These include use of a turtle deflector on the hopper

Town of Southern Shores Shore Protection Project
Coastal Planning & Engineering of North Carolina, Inc.
dredge draghead, insuring pumps are disengaged if a drag head or rotating cutterhead is lifted
from the bottom, and use of NMFS-certified Protected Species Observers aboard hopper dredges.
On the beach, several steps will be taken to minimize construction impacts to nesting and
hatchling sea turtles. Artificial lighting used during nighttime construction activities will be
angled and/or shielded to reduce deterrence of sea turtle nesting and hatchling disorientation. Sea
turtle nest monitoring is also considered an important part of sea turtle conservation, therefore a
sea turtle nest monitoring and avoidance/relocation plan will be implemented through
coordination with USFWS and NCWRC. Dare County is included in surveys conducted by
Network for Endangered Sea Turtles (N.E.S.T), the volunteer organization which performs
systematic surveys of the northern Outer Banks from the Virginia border to the southern tip of
Nags Head. Surveys are performed throughout the nesting season (May through August), and
include daily morning patrols to mark and protect newly laid nests, as well as monitoring during
incubation period and emergence. These surveys have been performed since 1981. Because the
Southern Shores project proposes nourishment during the summer months (nesting season),
monitoring will be needed to identify, and subsequently avoid burial or excavation of, existing
nests during construction. This monitoring will be performed by trained individuals
knowledgeable of the beach construction operations. In addition to monitoring surveys, nest
relocation will be implemented by highly trained individuals and in coordination with the
appropriate agencies.Sw (d J'

Re: CAMA Major Permit Application: Yaupon Trail Bulkhead Replacement & Road
Widening
Dear Mr. Dorman:
The NC Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your application on
July 31, 2017, for State approval for the development of the referenced project. An initial
screening of the submittal package has been conducted as per 15A NCAC 07J.0204. This
revealed certain deficiencies, which must be corrected before the application package can be
accepted as complete. To assist you in expediting the permitting process as much as possible,
I am notifying you of these deficiencies immediately so that they can be quickly corrected to
facilitate my detailed review.
Because the deficiencies are easily correctable, I am not returning the original application
package. Please make the needed changes, and submit the appropriate documentation. With
the retained copy of the application, I can commence the detailed review. Please understand
that the subsequent detailed review may reveal additional areas where further information or
documentation is required to demonstrate compliance with the rules directly applicable to the
proposed development. If this occurs, you will be notified of such issues separately.
Our initial screening has identified the following deficiencies:
Not all questions on the application have been answered, or indicated as "not
applicable." Please address the following items:
■ Form DCM-MP-1:
Number 5(c):
1. It is indicated that the majority of the bulkhead will be
constructed 2' waterward of the existing bulkhead; however, the
majority of proposed bulkhead indicated on the site plan is well
beyond this measurement. Please correct this statement.

Form DCM-MP-2:
- Number 3(c):
1. It is indicated that the average distance waterward ofNWL is 2';
however, I calculated the following:
a. Area # 1=1.8'
b. Area #2 = 4.1'
c. Area #3 = 5.9'
d. Area #4 = 4.3'
e. Area #5 = 16.3'
Please confirm these distance and list each one on the application.
- Number 3(d):
1. It is indicated that the maximum distance waterward of NWL is
20'; however, I am measuring —31' in Area #5. Please confirm
and correct.
- Number 3(g):
1. Please indicate the square footage of fill material to be placed in
the open water area.
2. Adequate Work Plans or Drawings have not been submitted. Please address the
following items:
■ When drawings are larger than 11 inches by 17 inches, 26 copies must be
provided. I understand that the 26 copies will be submitted once the final
drawings are approved.
■ Plats must be to scale: Sheet 1 of 2 indicates an overall scale of 1" = 20';
however, the blown -up insets of Areas 1 and 2 do not indicate the appropriate
scale. Please add the scale to the insets.
■ When colored drawings are submitted, 26 copies must be provided.
- Remove lavers not pertinent to the permitting agencies review. This
includes proposed and removed trees. This can be explained in the
project narrative.
- Blue is typically associated with waterways and should not be used to
denote the roadway.
Please do not use colors that are hard to see or blend into the
background color. For example, red lettering on the blue background,
the color used to denote NWL can barely be seen and is easily
overlooked.
1. Do not use any color combinations that a colorblind person may
have a hard time with

A Plan View must be submitted that: D C M- M H D CITY
- Distinguishes and labels existing and proposed features. This includes
but is not limited to:
1. existing road limits
2. existing docks/boatlifts
Correctly shows the alignment of the existing bulkheaded shoreline.
The submitted site plans depict the bulkheaded shoreline prior to
CAMA GP#67629A, issued on 12/1/2016 for --496' of bulkhead
replacement 2' waterward of the bulkhead in two separate sections.
1. It should be noted that GP#67629A eliminated the recessed areas
across from Lots 6 & 7 that are still depicted on the site plan.
2. Regarding Area #5, it appears that the depicted tie in point on the
site plan is —6' short of the return wall of the bulkhead
replacement section issued under GP#67629A based on Google
Earth imagery.
- Indicates approximate location of Normal Water Level (NWL)
Each of the proposed bulkhead areas (1-5) have a title Block that need
the following changes:
1. Remove references to retaining wall and use the word Bulkhead
for continuity.
2. Remove the references regarding the 2' normal wall offset for
partial wall subtracted from total fill area below.
3. The project narrative mentioned that SAVs were not found within the project area.
Please expand on this and describe how the survey was conducted and provide
supporting documentation.
4. Documentation of Notification of Riparian Property Owners must be provided. Please
submit Certified Return -Mail Receipts for this notification, along with a copy of the
notification letter provided to these owners and any comments received in reply.
■ Please note the notifications sent provided the wrong mailing address for the
Elizabeth City Division of Coastal Management office as well as not listing our
office's phone number so that an adjacent riparian pronertv owner could contact
us in case of concerns or objections. Please resend the letter with the correct
information and provide documentation for this.
To expedite our response to your permitting request, we will commence the detailed review of
your application for a permit pending the receipt of the additional information requested above.
However, the statutorily provided 75/150 days allowed for review cannot commence until such
time as we have received a complete application package. Once your application has been
accepted as complete, you will receive a separate notification letter.

If it is not possible to render a permit decision within 70 days of the date when your application
is received complete, 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.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at our Elizabeth City office (252 264 3901) if you have
any questions regarding this letter or the permitting process.
