RE: [External] CB Inlet
Thanks again for all the updates along the way. I spoke again to Curt after the last report regarding the need for up to 10
days of dredging and he does not have any concerns about granting the extension. Maria with WRC had previously
deferred to Curt. As I understand it, DWR also does not have any concerns- so please let this serve as your formal
approval to proceed under your state authorization. Please do just let me know if there are any further changes or
delays.
Thanks again for all the continued communication and efforts.
Hope you have a great day and weekend.

6 June 2018
Agencies:
New Hanover County (NHC) and the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Navigation
Branch had planned to use the sidecast dredge Merritt in the upcoming June, Carolina Beach
Inlet (CBI) maintenance dredging event. As of 4June2018, the USACE's sidecast dredge Merritt
has been delayed twice since March and will not be out of the Memphis shipyard and in North
Carolina (NC) until late July possibly August. In an effort to retain the CBI quarterly
maintenance events, the USACE and NHC are now targeting the Murden to begin work the first
week of July. The Murden is completing a Florida inlet maintenance event and will be traveling
through the area in late June early July.
NHC's tentative goal is a seven-day event making use of the inshore dredge material
management site (IDMMS) as the deposition location (NCDCM Permit 50-16, expiration date
12/2020). Based on the inlet's shoaling and the availability of a USACE special purpose dredge,
the proposed seven-day July maintenance need would fall outside NHC's environmental
window. NHC is providing supplemental documentation as requested by the National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) from a similar August 2017 scheduling challenge.
Supplemental Documentation
Statement of purpose and need specific to this event:
• Maintaining CBI as an ocean accessible route from Myrtle Grove Sound and adjacent
NHC estuarine areas;
• Responding to the ongoing 33% reduction in the available USACE shallow draft dredge
fleet;
• Implementing a resource conservation and adaptive management alternative.
Dredge and disposal schedule for proposed work:
• Subject to Florida demobilization and travel time, the Murden is scheduled to arrive in
Carolina Beach Inlet on or about the first of July for seven days of work.
Current depth and bathvmetry of IDMMS/Carolina Beach Borrow Area:
• Attached is a 23May2018 survey with potential inlet dredge volumes and the deposition
location and capacity in the IDMMS;
• A pre -construction survey will be taken one week before initiating work, the pre -
construction survey schedule would not have allowed timely agency coordination;
• The post -construction summary will reflect the most recent pre -construction survey
volumes.

Volume estimate of material to be placed in IDMMS/Carolina Beach Borrow Area:
• CBI's IDMMS deposition authorization is 75,000 cubic yards within CB's three-year
coastal storm damage reduction (CSDR) project cycles. To date (FY 2017-2019), the
IDMMS has received 38,760 cubic yards of inlet maintenance material;
• 36,240 cubic yards of deposition capability remain in the current three-year cycle;
• The Murden is tentatively scheduled to dredge seven 12-hour days. IF the Murden were
to maximizes 84 hours of dredging at —200 cubic yards/hour, the total volume deposited
Would be approximately 16,800 cy leaving an available deposition balance of 19,440 cy.
Forecast of next disposal event planned for IDMMS/Carolina Beach Borrow Area:
As per the USACE and during the Merritt's current shipyard visit and the upcoming Currituck
shipyard visit, the USACE's special purpose dredge fleet continue abbreviated and repetitive
visits within NC's shallow draft inlets. The US East Coast scheduling of the USACE's special
purpose dredge fleet is completely a USACE responsibility.
The CB CSDR project is in the 3`d year of its current three-year maintenance cycle (FY 2017-
2019). The IDMMS's in -filled sand is scheduled for recycling back within the CSDR template
this FYI 9. The CSDR's new three-year cycle (FY2020-2023) will reset fhe IDMMS potential
deposition volume.
Record of most recent mining of sand from IDMMS/Carolina Beach Borrow Area:
• The last recyclingtreuse of beach quality sand from within the CSDR's engineered
borrow site/IDMMS occurred in FYI and is scheduled again for FYI9.
NHC recognizes the regulatory scheduling challenge but considers the IDMMS as a viable
alternative to potential resource impacts during nearshore ocean placements. Given schedules
and timelines, NHC is requesting the agencies accept this transmittal as a pre -construction
notification. NHC thanks all for your consideration.

MEMORANDUM:
TO: Heather Coats, DCM Assistant Major Permit Coordinator
FROM: Curt Weychert, DCM Fisheries Resource Specialist
SUBJECT: Carolina Beach Inlet Moratorium Relief Request
DATE: June 7, 2018
MICHAEL S. REGAN
Srcrerarn
BRAXTON DAVIS
- Dimaor
A North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (DCM) Fisheries Resource Specialist has reviewed the
moratorium relief request for proposed actions that impact fish and fish habitats. New Hanover County is
seeking relief from a Moratorium conditioned on CAMA major permit #50-16, prohibiting dredge activities
from occurring from April 1 to November 15 of any year. The County is seeking to remove 16,800 cubic
yards (cy) of sandy material from the outer reaches of Carolina Beach Inlet and place the dredge spoil into a
pre -approved inshore dredge material management site (IDMMS), located within the inlet complex. The
dredging is expected to occur for 12 hours per day for seven (7) days of work. Last year, a similar request was
received from New Hanover county, seeking to dredge and dispose 10,800 cy of material and dispose of it
inside the IDMMS within the prohibited moratorium period.
This office has no objection to allowing moratorium relief for a period of seven (7) consecutive days which
will begin once the project has started, but not to extend past July 31, 2018. Red drum and other sciaenid fish
are known to usethe inlet complex for spawning and seasonal migrations particularly during the months of
August and September. Additionally, this office would also encourage the project to make all efforts to
perform maintenance dredging within the permitted dredge window in the future.
Contact Curt Weychert at [phone] ext. 213 or [e-mail] with further questions or
concerns.

Heather,
The sensitivity of extending the event into August is more a marine resource concern than estuarine / inland resource.
Since the operations of the event have not changed, the impacts sea turtles and shorebirds would have experienced
have not changed. Therefore, I defer to Curt or DMF on whether or not allowance should be given.
Thank you.

Hi Maria,
Just wanted to check back in on this and see if you had any concerns about the timing of the Carolina Beach work now
that it's been pushed back. Layton also said it is possible that there may be further delays since he is waiting on the
dredge to finish their current work down in FL.
Thanks in advance for any comments and I hope you had a great 4`h of July week!

Howdy,
The USACE is experiencing disposal area issues in Florida "our disposal site moved about 7 miles". As
of 27June2018, the Murden's ETA for C13 Inlet is July 181.
