Dear Mr. Crumbley:
This document constitutes an amendment to the August 6, 2015, Biological Opinion (BO) on the
Town of Ocean Isle Beach's proposed Shoreline Management Project in Brunswick County.
The Town has requested the following modifications to the permit:
1. An extension of the environmental window from March 31 to April 30
2. The addition of a construction access point.
3. An expansion of the footprint of the staging areas and construction corridor
4. A reduction of the footprint of the rubble mound component of the terminal groin
5. An increase in the volume of material required to fill the template of the sand fillet.
As you may know, the Service has been coordinating with the Corps Civil Works Program on
the timing of the Wrightsville Beach CSDR and Ocean Isle Beach CSDR this winter. Due to the
high usage of the south end of Wrightsville Beach by nesting shorebirds during spring. we
requested that the Wrightsville Beach project be completed first, which likely will result in the
Ocean Isle Beach CSDR project being conducted, at least in part, past March 31. We agree that
it makes sense to leverage the Corps CSDR beach placement for this project. The existing BO
includes an environmental window of November 16 to April 30, so no amendment is needed to
address the proposal to extend the work window to April 30.

Our review of the modification request indicates that the overall impacts to sea turtles, piping
plovers, red knot, and seabeach amaranth remain unchanged. Accordingly, the revisions in the
enclosed Attachment are made to the BO issued to your agency on August 6, 2015. The
amendment only addresses statements in the BO that need revision in order to be consistent with
the proposed permit modifications. If you have any questions, please contact Kathy Matthews at
(919) 8564520, ext. 27. In future correspondence concerning this project, please reference

The third paragraph of this section on Page 25 is revised as follows:
The groin will serve as a template for fill material placed westward thereof. The design goal is to
reduce inlet -directed sand loss (both short-term and long-term) and to allow for a more stable
condition. The project includes proposed maintenance of the sand fillet at 5-year intervals after
the initial placement of sand and initiation of groin construction. 264,00 337,530 cubic yards

I also want to point out this existing language from the Terms and Conditions of the BO:
6. Staging areas for earth -moving equipment must be located off the beach during the early (April 15 through
April 30) and late (November 16 through November 30) portions of the nesting season. Nighttime storage of
earth -moving equipment not in use must be off the beach to minimize disturbance to sea turtle nesting and
hatching activities. All excavations and temporary alteration of beach topography will be filled or leveled to the
natural beach profile prior to 9:00 p.m. each day.

Brad,
NC DCM staff have reviewed the Town of Ocean Isle Beach's requests for modifications to the Shoreline
Protection Project. The following modification requests are hereby granted by this email, and an official minor
modification to the permit will be mailed shortly for the permittee's signature.
* The environmental window for the Town's permit # 107-16 is extended from March 31 to April 30 for
the 2018 construction event only. If the work cannot be completed or is delayed, the Division of Coastal
Management and other appropriate agencies will need to reevaluate the request. Please note that Condition #
21 of the original permit dated November 7, 2016 must be implemented.
* A second construction access point at the corner of East 1st Street and Greensboro Street may be used.
Please note that Condition # 5 of the original permit dated November 7, 2016 must be implemented.
* The footprint of the staging areas and construction corridor may be expanded from 0.85 acres to 0.997
acres around the terminal groin as a result of the Mean High Water Line moving seaward.
* Due to changes in the dimensions of the terminal groin, the overall footprint of the structure will be
reduced from 69,250 square feet to 61,188 square feet.
* Due to erosion along the oceanfront shoreline between the time of the previous survey and the March
2017 survey, the fill template will require 337,530 cubic yards of sand instead of 264,000 cubic yards. This is
an additional volume of 73,530 cubic yards, but the fill template remains the same and will cover 758,882
square feet. The new volume of 337,530 cubic yards of sand is needed to fill the terminal groin fillet to

capacity.

Subject: Permit modification request for OIB Shoreline Protection Project
Good afternoon Doug and Tyler,
I spoke with each of you last week in regards to a few permit modifications the Town of Ocean Isle Beach is
requesting for their Shoreline Protection Project (aka the `terminal groin project").
These requested modifications include relief from the environmental window for one month (extending the
permissible construction time period from March 31 to April 30) such that the Town's permit is in alignment
with the environmental window authorized for the USACE's CSDR Project.. As you know, the CSDR project

is anticipated to go to construction this fall/winter. The Town is hoping to "piggyback" off the USACE's
contract dredge rather than mobilize their own dredge for the construction of the required sand fillet which
would result in considerable cost savings. After discussions with USACE Civil Works, it has been determined
that a modification of the Town's permit to align with the environmental window authorized for the CSDR
project will help negate potential contracting issues between the USACE Civil Works and the prospective
contract dredging companies.
In addition, the Town would also like to request several other minor modifications including:
* The addition of a construction access point
* An expansion of the footprint of the staging areas and construction corridor
* A reduction of the footprint of the rubble mound component of the terminal groin
* An increase in the volume of material required to fill the template of the sand fillet
Please see the attached letter describing these requested modifications. I look forward to speaking with you
both as this project moves forward this fall.

Subject: [Non-DoD Source] Re: FW: Permit modification request for OIB Shoreline Protection Project
Dear Tyler,
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments and recommendations on the requested modification of the USACE
permit for Ocean Isle Beach Shoreline Protection Project (SAW-2011-01241). As you know, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) issued a final Biological Opinion for the project on August 6, 2015.
I discussed the proposed modifications to the permit by phone with you, Brad Rosov, and Ken Riley (three separate
phone calls) on August 10, 2017. The Service does not have any significant concerns with or objections to the proposed
modifications. As you may know, the Service has been coordinating with the Corps Civil Works Program on the timing of
the Wrightsville Beach CSDR and Ocean Isle Beach CSDR this winter.
Due to the high usage of the south end of Wrightsville Beach by nesting shorebirds during spring, we requested that the
Wrightsville Beach project be completed first, which likely will result in the Ocean Isle Beach CSDR project being
conducted, at least in part, past March 31. We agree that it makes sense to leverage the Corps CSDR beach placement
for this project. In addition, we have reviewed the other requested modifications, and have the following comments:
1. The Service does not object to the proposed extension of the 2018 environmental window for this project from
March 31 to April 30. The extension should only be for 2018, and should not apply to maintenance activities in future
years. All work should be completed and equipment should be off the beach by April 30.
2. The Service does not object to the proposed addition of one construction access point at Greensboro Street, although
we are concerned with the distance between the Greensboro Street proposed access point and the terminal groin,
which is over 0.75 miles. We recommend that vehicle movement up and down the beach be limited to the maximum
extent possible, and that equipment use the East 4th Street access point as much as possible.
3. The Service does not object to the proposed expansion of the footprint for the staging areas and construction
corridor, although it is unclear that this is a necessity. The July 12, 2017 request for permit modification appears to
request this expansion just because as described in the project documents, the surveyed area is actually bigger.

However, the request does not appear to be made because a larger area is needed. The Service recommends that the
staging area be minimized to the maximum extent possible, and that vehicle movement up and down the beach also be
limited to the maximum extent possible.
4. The Service does not object to the proposed reduction in the footprint (square footage) of the rubble mound
component of the terminal groin.
S. The Service does not object to the proposed increase in volume of material required to fill the template of the sand
fillet.
I believe that the BO should be modified to address the proposed modifications. I spoke with Pete about it and he
believes that he can sign an amendment without having to go through Regional review. I will work on a BO amendment
and get it to you as soon as possible.
Thanks, and have a good weekend,
Kathy Matthews

Dear Tyler,
Based on the information received, the NMFS has no objection to the request of the Town of Ocean Isle Beach to extend
the environmental window from March 31 to April 30. The request is consistent with the environmental window
described within the Final Environmental Impact Statement Ocean Isle Beach Shoreline Management Project, Town of
Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, dated April 15, 2016, and the separate Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) Assessment for the
Ocean Isle Beach Shoreline Management Project, dated January 2015.
We believe moratorium relief is necessary to complete the work concurrent with the USACE Coastal Storm Damage
Reduction Project planned for FY2018. The NMFS recommends that adjustments to the environmental window be
limited to work conducted within FY2018. We ask that the Town of Ocean Isle Beach include the NMFS on
correspondence regarding pre -construction meetings, monitoring reports, and additional requests of moratorium relief.
Please let us know if you have questions. Thanks for the opportunity to review and comment.

Kathy and Ken,
The town of Ocean Isle Beach is in contract negotiations with the Wilmington District to conduct work on the
Terminal Groin Fillet at the same time that the District executes the CSDRP. They have requested a modification to the
original permit to include relief from the environmental window for one month (extending the permissible construction
time period from March 31 to April 30) in order to align with the District's window of operation on the CSDRP. As you
know, the CSDR project is anticipated to go to construction this fall/winter. Below are the additional components of the
modification request.
The Town would also like to request several other minor modifications including:
* The addition of a construction access point
* An expansion of the footprint of the staging areas and construction corridor
* A reduction of the footprint of the rubble mound component of the terminal groin
* An increase in the volume of material required to fill the template of the sand fillet

NC DCM staff have reviewed the Town of Ocean Isle Beach's requests for modifications to the Shoreline
Protection Project. The following modification requests are hereby granted by this email, and an official minor
modification to the permit will be mailed shortly for the permittee's signature.
* The environmental window for the Town's permit # 107-16 is extended from March 31 to April 30 for the
2018 construction event only. If the work cannot be completed or is delayed, the Division of Coastal Management and
other appropriate agencies will need to reevaluate the request. Please note that Condition # 21 of the original permit
dated November 7, 2016 must be implemented.
* A second construction access point at the corner of East 1st Street and Greensboro Street may be used.
Please note that Condition # 5 of the original permit dated November 7, 2016 must be implemented.
* The footprint of the staging areas and construction corridor may be expanded from 0.85 acres to 0.997
acres around the terminal groin as a result of the Mean High Water Line moving seaward.
* Due to changes in the dimensions of the terminal groin, the overall footprint of the structure will be
reduced from 69,250 square feet to 61,188 square feet.
* Due to erosion along the oceanfront shoreline between the time of the previous survey and the March
2017 survey, the fill template will require 337,530 cubic yards of sand instead of 264,000 cubic yards. This is an
additional volume of 73,530 cubic yards, but the fill template remains the same and will cover 758,882 square feet. The
new volume of 337,530 cubic yards of sand is needed to fill the terminal groin fillet to capacity.

Subject: Permit modification request for OIB Shoreline Protection Project
Good afternoon Doug and Tyler,
I spoke with each of you last week in regards to a few permit modifications the Town of Ocean Isle Beach is
requesting for their Shoreline Protection Project (aka the "terminal groin project').
These requested modifications include relief from the environmental window for one month (extending the
permissible construction time period from March 31 to April 30) such that the Town's permit is in alignment with the
environmental window authorized for the USACE's CSDR Project.. As you know, the CSDR project is anticipated to go to
construction this fall/winter. The Town is hoping to "piggyback" off the USACE's contract dredge rather than mobilize
their own dredge for the construction of the required sand fillet which would result in considerable cost savings. After
discussions with USACE Civil Works, it has been determined that a modification of the Town's permit to align with the
environmental window authorized for the CSDR project will help negate potential contracting issues between the USACE
Civil Works and the prospective contract dredging companies.
In addition, the Town would also like to request several other minor modifications including:
* The addition of a construction access point
* An expansion of the footprint of the staging areas and construction corridor
* A reduction of the footprint of the rubble mound component of the terminal groin
* An increase in the volume of material required to fill the template of the sand fillet

Please see the attached letter describing these requested modifications. I look forward to speaking with you
both as this project moves forward this fall.

Great- thanks Matt... the Town certainly appreciates your speedy review on this.
Just to confirm- the extension of the environmental window applies to both the construction of the structure and the
sand placement components of this project, correct? It was not explicitly stated in our request nor was it in the
modification. The rationale for the extension of the window is the same for both components (groin construction and
sand placement): the USAGE CSDR project would be occurring on the same beach and activities would occur until April
30 regardless of the Town's project. Please confirm as soon as you are able.

Matt,
In general NCWRC prefers all inlet work to adhere to an April 1— November 16 moratorium to cover nesting shore birds
as well as sea turtles. Many of the USACE projects have been established for some time under the consistency process
and are under the May 1 date. This can be problematic in some areas (i.e. south end of Wrightsville) when the work
extends into April and birds are present. Survey work is being done for the groin project and it has been noted that
piping plovers and red knot are using the area, though I believe they are on the west end of Holden. Wilson plovers and
willets have been using the east end of Ocean Isle this season. These birds are the reason why we requested the April 1
date in our comments for the groin project. Our biologists would like to revisit the May 1 date for the USACE projects
whenever the opportunity arises.
If it is determined an extension would need to be allowed, measures must be taken to protect shore birds. This would
include delineating habitat, daily monitoring, and then if territories are present, a buffer establish around them marked
with posts, string, and flagging.
Please do not hesitate to call or email if we need to discuss. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to catch you after today's
meeting. It was good to see you again.

Matt, I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I thought that Town of Ocean Isle Beach was simply referencing the moratorium
window that the USACE was given. I didn't realize that the USACE was performing the work simultaneously. Since the
impact will already be occurring through permitted activities done by the USACE, the Town of OIB Coastal Storm
Damage Reduction Project sand fillet is relatively small in comparison. There is no objection to granting the relief
request for this one time only. If for some reason the work cannot be completed or is delayed, we will need to
reevaluate the request.

Dear All,
Please see the modification request below and attached for the Ocean Isle Beach Shoreline Protection Project. The
USACE will be starting a federal Coastal Storm Damage Reduction (beach nourishment) project this fall/winter, with an
environmental window that closes on April 3011h. At the same time, the Town of Ocean Isle Beach will be constructing a
terminal groin adjacent to Shallotte Inlet at the eastern end of the island and adding sufficient sand to fill the template
of the sand fillet. The permit issued to the Town of Ocean Isle Beach has an environmental window that closes on March
311. The Town intends to use the same dredge as the USACE, and for contracting reasons, is seeking an extension of the
dredge window to close on April 301h instead of March 31".
Sorry about sending several things to you to review the last few days. We've had this request before us for a little while,
so if you can take a look at this project before the others and let me know as soon as possible your thoughts about the
environmental window extension to April 301h, I'd appreciate it[

environmental window authorized for the CSDR project will help negate potential contracting issues between the USACE
Civil Works and the prospective contract dredging companies.
In addition, the Town would also like to request several other minor modifications including:
• The addition of a construction access point
• An expansion of the footprint of the staging areas and construction corridor
• A reduction of the footprint of the rubble mound component of the terminal groin
• An increase in the volume of material required to fill the template of the sand fillet
Please see the attached letter describing these requested modifications. I look forward to speaking with you both as this
project moves forward this fall.

Subject: Permit Modification Request for the Ocean Isle Beach Shoreline Protection Project
Dear Mr. Huggett and Mr. Crumbley:
As you know, the Town of Ocean Isle Beach was issued a CAMA Major Permit (# 107-16) by the Division
of Coastal Management on November 6, 2016 and a Department of Army Individual Permit (Action ID
SAW-2011-01241) on February 28, 2017 for their Shoreline Protection Project. This project involves the
construction of a terminal groin and an associated sand fillet which have been designed to help curb the
erosion at the eastern end of the island. Since receiving all necessary permits and authorizations to
construct this project, several factors have changed warranting a request for a number of modifications to
the CAMA and Department of Army permits. Specifically, the Town of Ocean Isle Beach would like to
request:
• An extension of the environmental window from March 31 to April 31
• The addition of a construction access point
• An expansion of the footprint of the staging areas and construction corridor
• A reduction of the footprint of the rubble mound component of the terminal groin
• An increase in the volume of material required to fill the template of the sand fillet
The justification for each requested modification is as follows:
1. An Extension of the Environmental Window from March 31 to April 31
The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has informed the Town that funding has been included in
their F/Y 2017 work plan for the Town's Coastal Storm Damage Reduction (CSDR) Project. According
to the USACE announcement, $5,460,000 has been earmarked in this plan for the Ocean Isle Beach
Coastal Storm Damage Reduction (CSDR) Project segment of Brunswick County Beaches to be
accomplished along with $4.85 million in Flood Control and Coastal Emergencies (FCCE) funds for a
total of $10.310 million. The Town is still awaiting final approval of the FCCE funds, however, funding
in the USACE work plan means the 3.25 mile CSDR project should proceed this coming fall/winter.
With this in mind, the Town is seeking assistance from the USACE for the approval of a Memorandum
of Agreement (MOA). This MOA would provide a means for the Town to pay the USACE for the
dredging and placement of material to fill the portion of the Town's Shoreline Protection Project sand
fillet that is situated outside of the CSDR project's fill template. The sand fillet spans the oceanfront
shoreline from Station 0+00 (the location of the terminal groin) to Station 30+00. The CSDR project

begins and Station 10+00 and will extend westward to Station 180+00 (final design to be determined by
the USACE). In this regard, the only portion of the sand fillet that would not be included in the CSDR
project is the 1,000-foot segment from Station 0+00 to Station 10+00. The borrow area for both the
CSDR project and the Town's Shoreline Protection Project are the same- the Shallotte Inlet Borrow
Area.
With the issuance of the MOA, the Town would no longer need to to hire a separate dredge to perform
the dredge and fill work for the construction of the sand fillet due to the fact that the USACE contract
dredge would perform the this fill. Thus, without the need to mobilize an additional dredge to the site,
the cost savings to the Town as a result of the MOA may approximate upwards of $750,000. One hurdle
to the MOA at this point, however, is the fact that the CSDR project authorization and the Town's
permits for the Shoreline Protection Project includes differing environmental windows. From a
contracting point of view between the USACE and their prospective dredge contractor, it will be
important for both projects to include the same window. The CAMA and Department of Army permits
issued for the Ocean Isle Beach Shoreline Protection Project includes an environmental window that
limits construction of the project between November 16 through March 31. However, the USACE
Authorization for the Ocean Isle Beach CSDR Project includes an environmental window limiting the
construction to November 16 through April 30. Should the USACE move forward this coming
fall/winter to construct the CSDR project and include the additional placement of material within the
Shoreline Protection Project's sand fillet, it will be highly beneficial for both components of the dredge
contractor's work to include the same environmental window. Therefore, the Town is seeking a
modification to their CAMA and Department of Army permits to allow for relief of the
environmental window allowing construction activity to continue to April 30 in alignment with
what has been authorized for the CSDR project. Because the construction of the CSDR project
would entail construction equipment and pipes on the beach within the area between the Shallotte Inlet
borrow area and the footprint of the CSDR project, the sand fillet area (which is situated between the
borrow area and the CSDR project) may be disturbed through April regardless of a modification to the
Town's CAMA permit. Therefore, the requested modification to extend the construction window
through April 30 would not be expected result in additional environmental impacts. Should the CSDR
project not be implemented this coming fall/winter causing the Town to contract their own dredge, this
request would no longer be warranted.
2. The Addition of a Construction Access Point
Town would also like to request a minor modification to the CAMA and Department of Army permits to
allow for one (1) additional construction access point. Currently, the permits allows for one (1) access
point to the beach for construction equipment and to the staging area located at the existing CAMA access
point on East 4' Street (see Sheet 4 of 12 in Appendix A in the CAMA permit application). The Town
would like to request an additional construction access point at the corner of East I' Street and Greensboro
Street as well. This existing CAMA access point has been used for construction equipment in the past for
other similar project including the CSDR project. As shown in Figures 1 and 2 below, the access point at
Greensboro Street is ideal due to the lack of dunes, vegetation, or sandbags. The roughly 160' long and
15' wide (2,400 square feet) pathway between the street and the beach is composed primarily of sand and
is located approximately 1,000 feet to the west of the terminus of the fill template. The addition of this
construction access point for heavy machinery will be logistically beneficial to the project because the
existing access point on East 4a' Street is located in proximity to the footprint of the groin which could
lead to congestion. The extra access point would allow for the delivery of construction equipment and
machinery associated with the beach fill component of the Shoreline Protection Project to the beach while
avoiding the terminal groin work area. RECEIVED

3. An Expansion of the Footprint of the Staaine Areas and Construction Corridor
As permitted, the project includes two staging areas- one located in proximity to the AIW W where a
barge may offload the stones for the terminal groin and another on the oceanfront beach in proximity to
the footprint of the terminal groin. A construction corridor was also permitted around the footprint of
the sheetpile section of the groin extending to the MHW mark. The total area of the two staging areas
and the construction corridor was determined to be 37,132 square feet, or 0.85 acres. RIS4

conducted in March 2017 moved the MHW seaward and therefore increased the area of the construction
corridor. In consideration of keeping the total area to be disturbed below one acre, this modification
requests an additional 6,305 square feet such that the total area within the staging areas and construction
corridors will be 43,437 square feet, or 0.997 acres.
4. A Reduction of the Footprint of the Rubble Mound Component of the Terminal Groin
As shown in the MP-2 form of the CAMA Major Permit application, the rubble mound portion of the
terminal groin structure was initially designed and permitted to include a 69,250 square foot footprint. In
light of changes to the bathymetric conditions since the time the permit application was developed, the
design of the structure has been modified slightly. The crest length will remain 750 feet; however the
width of the structure will be reduced. The permitted crest width was 15 feet. The new crest width will
vary from 11 feet to 13 feet along the length of the structure. Due to changes in the design, the overall
footprint of the structure now encompasses 61,188 square feet reflecting a reduction of 8,062 square feet
of softbottom (sandy) habitat area to be permanently disturbed by the construction of the groin.
5. _An Increase in the Volume of Material Required to Fill the Template of the Sand Fillet
The preliminary designs of the sand fillet, as described in the permit application, was developed using the
most recent survey data available at that time. Since then, project engineers have used a more recent
survey performed in March 2017 to determine the required volume of material required to fill the template
based on the updated data. Initially, and as specified in the EIS and MP-2 form of the Major CAMA
Permit application, the sand fillet was designed to incorporate the placement of 264,000 cubic yards of
material. Due to erosion along the oceanfront shoreline since the time of the previous survey and the
March 2017 survey, the fill template will now require 337,530 cubic yards of material to fill the same
template. Therefore, the Town is requesting a minor modification to the permit to allow for this increased
amount of material to be placed within the fill template. It should also be noted that the MP-1 form of the
permit application erroneously indicated that the fill template for the sand fillet would cover a total of
535,738 square feet. The correct value is 758,882 square feet.
Thank you for the consideration of these permit modifications. Please contact me anytime should you
have any questions or need anything in addition.
Sincerely,
