Carolina Beach State Park Marsh and Oyster Habitat Restoration
Applicant: N.C. Division of Parks and Recreation/Carolina Beach State Park
Date: February 12, 2015
Background
Carolina Beach State Park (CBSP) includes 290 acres of property, and --2.6 miles of estuarine
shoreline, including frontage on both the Snows Cut Channel and Cape Fear River. The park has
a history of eroding estuarine shoreline, owing to the effects of boat wakes, wind and storm
driven waves, including seasonal storms and hurricanes. The North Carolina Coastal Federation
(the Federation) has provided shoreline consultations to CBSP staff for several years, including
discussions of options to provide shoreline stabilization while preserving and restoring the
important natural resources provided by the estuarine shorelines and intertidal zones, and
addressing the coastwide need to restore shellfish populations and habitat. In 2014, the
Federation applied for and received grant funding from the Grady White Foundation to construct
a living shorelineloyster reef restoration project at CBSP. Since that time, the Federation has
worked with the Park staff to develop this project. At the same time, the Federation has received
an offer from leadership from General Electric (GE) Hitachi Plant in Castle Hayne, to provide
significant volunteer labor (up to 200 volunteers) and materials to construct the shoreline
restoration project. The GE organization has only offered their services as part of the county-
wide Work on Wilmington volunteer day on April 25, 2015. Consequently, the federation would
like to work cooperatively with state and federal agencies through the permit process to ensure
that the restoration project meets all rules and regulations, and optimizes the resources available
through our project partners from the CBSP and GE Hitachi.
Project Summary
NCCF will work with the Carolina Beach State Park Staff, teachers, students and volunteers to
create marsh and oyster habitat along the shoreline of Carolina Beach State Park along the Cape
Fear River in New Hanover County, NC. This will be accomplished through a combination of
marsh grass plantings, and the creation of oyster shell bag sills. 'These restoration activities will
not only provide habitat for wildlife, finfish and shellfish, but will also help to stabilize the
eroding shoreline of the island. The design and dimensions of the proposed sill is the minimum
necessary to achieve the goal of mitigating erosion, while at the same time preservelrestore
existing natural resources and park property. The created marsh and oyster habitat will help to
filter nutrients and pollutants, and thereby improve the water quality of the Cape Fear River. The
deployed oyster bag sill will provide substrate for the attachment of oyster larvae in these
traditionally productive waters, as well as restoring habitat for finfish, shellfish and wildlife.
Public education, awareness and support for the protection and restoration of coastal habitats will
be expanded through public participation in the project and educational and outreach activities
supported by both the Carolina Beach State Park staff and the staff of the North Carolina Coastal
Federation. The site will also provide a demonstration and training site for area contractors,
erosion control professionals, and area property owners, to increase the broadscale use of living
shoreline measures over traditional hardening approaches.

Project Description
This project will preservelrestore coastal marsh/ dune/maritime forest 610 feet of the shoreline of
Carolina Beach State Park and create approximately 5,880 square feet of new oyster reef habitat
adjacent to the shoreline.
The overall goal of this project is to preserve and restore existing coastal marsh, fronting existing
dune and maritime forest habitats along the shoreline of Carolina Beach State Park and to
enhance oyster populations and habitat in waters adjacent to the shoreline. This will provide
CBSP with extremely valuable estuarine habitats, for which it will become a long-term steward.
Specific project objectives include:
■ Create 610' of oyster bag sill (marl bag base-1 layer, oyster bags 2 layers) along CBSP
shoreline for erosion control, and habitat preservation/restoration.
■ Strategically place the newly created oyster reefs so that they help provide protection of the
park's shoreline from boat and storm wave -induced erosion.
■ The 5,880 R2 of oyster bag sill will grow into a functioning oyster reef through natural oyster
spat recruitment.
■ Train and engage at least 100 volunteers and 60 students through field work and classroom
activities to provide support for the restoration project and monitor its success.
■ Share project results with citizens through Carolina Beach State Park's education programs,
and NCCF's promotional efforts including media tours, press releases, website, presentations
and training efforts.
Restoration Methods and Techniques:
Significant erosion exists along the shoreline of CBSP due to boat wake and storm induced
waves and several hurricanes that have affected the area in the past decade. In an effort to protect
and stabilize the eroding shoreline, oyster bag sill and marsh grass plantings will be strategically
located along the western shoreline of the CBSP, adjacent to the Cape Fear River. These
restoration techniques will also create additional coastal marsh and oyster reef habitat. The
project will include a monitoring component that will be carried out as part of NCCF's and
Carolina Beach State Park's educational programming to monitor the success of this shoreline
stabilization and restoration techniques.
The shell bag sills will be placed along 610 linear feet of shoreline. Volunteers will create the
bags at stockpile sites. Federation shallow draft skiffs (with floating platforms), and CBSP
shallow draft barges will transport the bags from the marina/boat dock to the project shoreline.
Carolina Beach State Park employees, federation employees, volunteers, students and teachers
will assist with the oyster bag sill creation, and marsh plantings.
Where needed, volunteers, CBSP and federation staff will plant additional coastal marsh, using
plugs of 4urtina altemiflora, planted by hand using hand tools on 2.0' center grids.

Vegetation on tract
Several coastal ecosystems are present in the park. Forests dominated by longleaf pine, turkey oak and live oak occupy the
dry, coarse soil of a series of relict sand dunes. Between the dunes are dense shrub swamps, called pocosins, populated by
pond pines, loblolly and sweet bay, yaupon and evergreen shrubs. Brackish marshes consisting primarily of cordgrasses
and sedges can be found beyond the relict dunes adjacent to the river.
Three limesink ponds, each vegetated by a unique plant community, are found in the park. Cypress Pond, the most unusual
limesink pond in the park, is dominated by a dwarf cypress swamp forest. Lily Pond is occupied by the broad, oval leaves
and beautiful, white flowers of water lilies, which cover its waters in early summer. Grass Pond, which dries out almost every
year, is filled with a variety of aquatic sedges.
NOTE: The proposed project area is found along the Cape Fear River shoreline, adjacent to tidal brackish marshes,
scrub/shrub zone and relict dune ecosystems.

The 610' oyster shell bag sills and marsh grass plantings will help to prevent and reduce erosion along the shoreline of
Carolina Beach State Park and will provide valuable habitat for finfish, shellfish and waterfowl. The oyster shell bag sills will
provide substrate for the attachment of oyster larvae in these traditionally productive waters. Once constructed, the sills will
be designated as a research sanctuaries (closed shellfish waters) by the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries. Purpose is to
stabilize an eroding shoreline with an oyster bag sill, provide preservation and restoration of an eroding coastal marsh, and
provide restoration of an oyster reef habitat. Site will also be incorporated into the Carolina Beach State Park education
programs, and serve as training shoreline for contractors, designers, homeowners, by others, such as the North Carolina
Coastal Federation.
c. Describe the proposed construction methodology, types of construction equipment to be used during construction, the number of each type
of equipment and where It is to be stored.
The oyster bags (and small marl bags to provide base layer for two layers of oyster bags) will be filled and created by

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION N�-nr Wn�+J-Mtfi
The project is located at Carolina Beach State Park (CBSP), in Carolina Beach, on Dow Road, off US Highway 421, in southern New
Hanover County. The property is situated along the southern shoreline of the Cape Fear River, near ifs confluence with Snow's Cut.
The park consists of approximately 700 acres of wooded uplands, and includes facilities for camping, nature trails, and educational
programs. To locate the project site from the Wilmington Regional Office (WiRO), travel from Wilmington towards Carolina Beach on
Carolina Beach Road (NC Hwy 421) for approximately 12 miles south. Continue over Snows Cut Bridge for approximately 0.2 miles
south until you reach Dow Road. Turn right onto Dow Road and turn right onto State Park Road, which will be the entrance to the
CBSP. Continue to travel west approximately 1 mile until you reach the public marina and parking area.
The public marina includes 40 wet slips, two boat ramps, a large parking area, and a marina/park office building. In 1987, State Permit
# 95-87 was issued to expand the original boat basin, construct docks for 32 additional slips, and conduct maintenance dredging within
the existing basin and access channel. In 1996, CAMA General Permit #16003-D was issued to clear a small shoaled area from the
access channel. Subsequently, in 1999, the DCM issued State Permit #127-99 for maintenance dredging within the access channel
and boat basin. State Permit # 165-08 was issued to replace the public marina docking facility and boat -ramp, maintenance excavation
and upgrade the parking area. State Permit # 165-08 was due to expire on April 24/2014; however, was subject to extension by the
Session Law 2009406, as amended by Session Law 2010-177, the Permit Extension act. The new expiration date for State Permit
# 165-08 is July 3, 2015.
The project site is located on the northwestern end of the park at the location of a designated hiking trail and beach area along the
shoreline of the Cape Fear River, where the shoreline appears to be experiencing erosion due to its proximity to river. There are
multiple areas where coastal wetlands exist along the shoreline, which consists primarily of Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina altemiflora),
intermixed with Salt Grass (Distichlis spicata), Sea Lavender (Limoium carchnanum) and Salt Meadow Hay (Spartina patens) in an
area ranging from approximately 30' to 80' in width. Upland vegetation along the project area consists of hand wood trees and shrubs
primarily Live Oak (Quercus virginiana) and Wax Myrtle (Myrica cerfera).
The waters of this area of the Cape Fear River are classified SA, by the N.C. Division of Water Resources. The area is not designated
as a Primary Nursery Area, by the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries, and these waters are CLOSED to the harvest of shellfish.
PROPOSED PROJECT:
The applicant is proposing to construct a bagged oyster shell and mad marsh sill along the CPSP shoreline for marsh habitat
restoration. The application states the proposed sill would be located waterward of the marsh in an area measuring approximately 61 V
in length by 8' in width and approximately 2.5' in height above the existing substrate. The application also states the sill would have a 5'
gap and a short 5' "offset" section landward of the gap approximately every 100' to allow for fish passage, and would be located
waterward of normal high water (NHW) a distance approximately 25' to 29', and in water depths less than -1.0' @ normal low water.
Areas located below normal high water would be planted with Spartina aftemrflora plugs placed on 2.0' centers (See Sheets 1 through
3 of 3 and Project Narrative).
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The proposed oyster/mad bagged sills would result in the fill of approximately 5,880 sq. ft. of shallow bottom located in the Estuarine
Waters and Public Trust Areas of Environmental Concern (AECs). The work would result in temporary impacts to oyster habitat, but the
overall project would recreate the habitat. The proposed sill would range waterward of the NHW boundary approximately 25' to 29'.

Dear Mr. Helms
Donald van der Vaart
Secretary
The Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources received a copy of the CAMA Major
Permit Application for the subject project on February 27, 2015. Staff review of the plans and specifications has determined
that the development activities proposed at this time will not pose a threat to surface water quality from stormwater runoff. The
Director has determined that projects that are reviewed and approved by the Division as not posing a water quality threat from
stormwater runoff should not be subject to the stormwater management permitting requirements of 15A NCAC 21-1.1000, the
stormwater rules. By copy of this letter, we are informing you that this project will not require a stormwater management
permit.
If the subject project disturbs one acre or more and has a point source discharge of stormwater runoff, then it is also subject to

Recommendations for State Permit # 165.08 Major Modification- North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources Division of Parks and Recreation- CBSP Oyster Bag Sill 2127/2015
It is the opinion of this office that the proposed work is CONSISTENT with the Use Standards for Estuarine Waters and Public Trust
Areas, as set forth in NCAC 07H .0206 & .0207. In the absence of any concerns from the commenting agencies, it is recommended
that a permit be issued subject to the standard marsh sill and following conditions:
1. In order to protect water quality, runoff from the construction must not visibly increase the amount of suspended sediments in
adjacent waters.
2. The alignment of the permitted oyster bag sills shall be staked by the permittee and approved by a representative of the
Division of Coastal Management within a maximum of 30 days prior to the start of construction.
3. The permittee and his contractor shall schedule a pre -construction conference with the Division of Coastal Management and
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers prior to the initiation of any work.
4. Appropriate sedimentation and erosion control devices, measures or structures must be implemented to ensure that eroded
materials do not enter adjacent wetlands, watercourses and property (e.g. silt fence, diversion swales or berms, sand fence,
etc.).
5. The riprap material must consist of clean rock or masonry materials such as but not limited to granite or broken concrete.
NOTE: This permit does not eliminate the need to obtain any additional state, federal or local permits, approvals or
authorizations that may be required.
NOTE: Future development of the permittee's property may require a modification of this permit. Contact a representative of
the Division at [phone] prior to the commencement of any such activity for this determination.
NOTE: The permittee and/or his contractor is urged to meet with a representative of the Division
prior to project initiation.

To: Howell, Jonathan
Subject: SAW-2015-00503 Carolina Beach State Park Oyster Sill Recommended Conditions
Jonathan,
Below are the conditions that will be sent to Doug today:
1. In order to further protect the endangered West Indian Manatee, Trichechus manatus, the applicant must
implement the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Manatee Guidelines, and strictly adhere to all requirements therein. The
guidelines can be found at http://www.fws.gov/nc-es/mammal/rrianatee_guidelines.pdf.
2. Dredging is not authorized.
3. The permittee must install and maintain, at his expense, any signal lights and signals prescribed by the U.S. Coast
Guard, through regulations or otherwise, on authorized facilities. For further information, the permittee should contact
the U.S. Coast Guard Marine Safety Office at [phone].
4. All work authorized by this permit must be performed in strict compliance with the submitted plans, which are a
part of this permit. Any modification to these plans must be approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) prior
to implementation.
S. The docks and piers extending over wetlands will be elevated sufficiently (a minimum of 3 feet) above the
wetland substrate to prevent total shading of vegetation, substrate, or other elements of the aquatic environment.
6. The permittee understands and agrees that, if future operations by the United States require the removal,
relocation, or other alteration, of the structure or work herein authorized, or if, in the opinion of the Secretary of the
Army or his authorized representative, said structure or work shall cause unreasonable obstruction to the free
navigation of the navigable waters, the permittee will be required, upon due notice from the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, to remove, relocate, or alter the structural work or obstructions caused thereby, without expense to the
United States.
7. Approval of the structure is based on determinations that there would be no obstruction to navigation. The
structure may be damaged by wave wash from passing vessels. Issuance of this permit should not be construed, as
relieving the permittee of taking proper steps to insure the structure and moored boats will not be damaged by wave
wash.
8. The authorized structure and associated activity must not interfere with the public's right to free navigation on
all navigable waters of the United States. No attempt will be made by the permittee to prevent the full and free use by
the public of all navigable waters at or adjacent to the authorized work for reason other than safety.
9. Except as specified in the plans attached to this permit, no excavation, fill or mechanized land -clearing activities
shall take place at any time in the construction or maintenance of this project, in such a manner as to impair normal
flows and circulation patterns within waters or wetlands or to reduce the reach of waters or wetlands.
10. Except as authorized by this permit or any USACE approved modification to this permit, no excavation, fill or
mechanized land -clearing activities shall take place at any time in the construction or maintenance of this project, within
waters or wetlands. This permit does not authorize temporary placement or double handling of excavated or fill

DATE:

Donald R. van der Vaart
Secretary
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 applicant
proposes to construct a bagged oyster shell and marl marsh sill along the Carolina Beach State Park
Shoreline. The project will incorporate roughly 5,880 sq. ft. of shallow bottom habitat in the Cape Fear
River along the northwestern border of Carolina Beach State Park. The sill, located 25' to 29' waterward
of normal High water, will be approximately 610' in length by Win width and approximately 2.5' in
height. To allow for fish passage 5' gaps will be incorporated every 100' along the length of the sill. To
facilitate marsh growth behind the sill Spartina afterniflora plugs will be placed on 2' centers.
The aim of the project is marsh' restoration and shoreline protection in the area there are still some
concerns to be addressed and conditions that should be placed on the project. The filled oyster bags can
become displaced in during high energy events and bags can break open leaving debris in the water and
on shore. The applicant should be held responsible for reasonable maintenance of the alignment of the
proposed sill. Additionally the applicant should be responsible for any marine debris (i.e. mesh oyster
bags) should the bags break open and become debris.
Contact Shane Staples at [phone] or [e-mail] with further questions or
concerns.

Dear Mr. Helms:
The Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your application, through your acting as agent for
the proposed development located at 1010 State Park Road, adjacent to the Cape Fear River, in Carolina Beach, New
Hanover County. It was received as complete on February 12, 2015, and appears to be adequate for processing at this
time. The projected deadline for making a decision is April 28, 2015. 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 February 12, 2015, 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.
A field report has been prepared and is in the process of being circulated to the various state and federal review agencies
for their comments. If additional information is required based, on this review, the agencies may contact you directly.

Dear Ms. Wilson:
On behalf of the NC Division of Parks and Recreation, Carolina Beach State Park, please
accept this request to construct 610 linear feet of oyster shell bag sill along a portion of the
estuarine shoreline fronting the Carolina Beach State Park The purpose of the project is
shoreline stabilization and preservation/restoration of the coastal marsh and oyster
habitat along the Cape Fear River. The use of oyster shell bags as sills is a well- established
and successful technique in NC, and the ecological benefits of this type of "living shoreline"
method are supported by scientific monitoring and reporting in the literature.
From a pre -application meeting held with Mr. Robb Mairs on 2/10/15, it is our
understanding that Carolina Beach State Park has a valid Major CAMA Permit for
marina/dredging/shoreline work within the vicinity of this project shoreline (CAMA
Permit # 165-08). Therefore, our request would be to authorize this current request
through a modification of the existing CAMA Major Permit
If any additional information is required for the review of this request, please do not
hesitate to contact me. Thank you in advance for your consideration of this project

Subject: Original Lease from Department of Army for Carolina Beach State Park
Robb- Good afternoon. I dropped off the CAMA app today for the Carolina Beach State Park. As part
of the packet, I included a copy of the long term property lease and the most recent re -authorization
letter from the Department of the Army. Since I submitted, Carla (at CBSP) located the original lease
agreement from 1996. As I understand it, the leases are expected to run and be renewed every 5
years, but the final renewal documentation is fairly "fluid" and can sit on the Governor's desk for
many years, but the agreement process continues between the CBSP and the Department of the
Army.
I wasn't sure whether or not you would need the original lease in addition to the latest authorization
letter from the Army, so I'm sending along the original as well. Happy to bring a hard copy if you
would like. Many thanks for your guidance. Tracy
