Subject: RE: Filling around the sandbags and MHW line confirmation
Everyone,
I just spoke with Doug Huggett. Given that the shoreline is similar for most of the area for both timeframes and the
shoreline near the hotspot has shown an episodic behavior and been affected by the adjacent sandbags, he agrees that
we can use the July 2014 shoreline for the pre -project shoreline to determine the public/private ownership line (i.e., the
sand placed landward of the line is private property and seaward is public property).
He also confirmed that we could fill up to the face of the landward bags where there is a slope of the sandbag
structure. Thanks again for all your help in this project!
Best Regards,

Subject: Filling around the sandbags and MHW line confirmation
Heather/Debra/Jonathan,
Hope this email finds you well! Some questions have come up about the project that we would like some confirmation
on. First, please find attached a file that has both the immediate pre -construction MHW (one week before the project
started) line as well as the one from July of last year that was submitted as part of the permit package. We have also
attached the current plan with the July MHW line shown as well.
Thinking more about it, we believe that the July MHW shoreline should be used as the preproject MHW line since the
one right before construction was so affected by storms and not representative of normal conditions. As you can see,
the lines are coincident except for the area that has experienced the extreme erosion recently which we believe
supports using the July MHW line. The concern is that if we use the pre -construction MHW line, the public/private
ownership line may not allow the critically affected parcels to be usable in the future. Please confirm that this
understanding is correct and that the July MHW can be used for the pre -project line and that any sand placed landward
of the July MHW line is considered private property while all sand seaward of the July MHW line is public property.
Secondly, please see the attached sandbag picture. In talking with Heather, our understanding is that we can fill up to
the face of the bags at elevation +7. Some of the areas have one set of bags that is nearly vertical but we have some
spots where sandbags have been placed twice and the wall is not vertical. Please confirm that we can carry the fill up to
the face of the wall no matter where it hits. I had discussed this with Heather and she stated that we could so that we
did not end up with a ponded area, but I just wanted to verify since we would likely cover the top of some of the lower
bags in front. We will be sure not to cover the top of the landward bags at all or any area behind them.
Sorry to bring all this up now, but the fill is getting close to this area and will be in the subject locations by Friday, and we
just want to be very sure that we are compliant and placing sand in the right places and only where we are permitted
to. Thanks again for all your help!
Best Regards,
Johnny Martin

Dear Mr. Martin:
Donald R. van der Vaart
Secretary
This is with reference to your request to modify State Permit #21-15, acting as agent for the
Town of Oak Island. The permit was issued on February 13, 2015 and expires on December 31,
2018. The action proposed in your submittal is to dredge 278,950 cubic yards of material from
Eastern Channel and deposit up to 226,575 cubic yards of beach -compatible material entirely
within a revised Reach 1- thereby eliminating disposal at Reach 2.
In reviewing the information provided, the Division of Coastal Management has determined that
the proposed action is consistent with existing State rules and regulations and is in keeping with
the original purpose and intent of the permit. This Letter of Refinement authorizes the
modification of State Permit #21-15, as described in your revised project narrative dated March
1, 2015 and revised plans dated February 2015. All permit conditions remain in effect.
Please note this refinement does not authorize any work not expressly described above, nor does
it eliminate the need to obtain any other additional state, federal or local permits, approvals or
authorizations that may be required. By copy of this letter we are also notifying the U. S. Army
Corps of Engineers of our action. If you have any questions concerning the above or if I can be
of any other assistance, please advise.
Sincerely,

Modification Due To Changed Survey Conditions
Project Narrative
Permit Modification Due to Changed Survey Conditions for
Lockwoods Folly Habitat Restoration Project - Dredging of Eastern Channel
Project Narrative —Submitted March 1, 2015
This narrative documents the request for a permit modification for the Lockwoods Folly Habitat
Restoration Project- Dredging of Eastern Channel, prepared under the direction of the Town of Oak Island.
The reasoning for the modification is that existing survey conditions have changed since July 2014 which
is when the surveys used for the permit applications were collected. Based on the new survey
information, the Town of Oak Island is asking for a permit modification to allow 1) up to 278,950 cy to be
dredged from Eastern Channel and 2) up to 226,575 cy of beach -compatible material to be placed on a
revised Reach 1 extent. The non -beach compatible portion of the project remains the same. The attached
permit drawings incorporate the new survey information collected Feb 23-26, 2015 and a design
refinement for the beach fill portion of the project. The dredging template (widths, depths and length)
remain unchanged from the approved permit conditions. Nonetheless, there has been additional
shoaling in the channel and the dredged volume to meet the previously approved template has increased
from 229,000 cy to 278,950 cy (increase of 49,950 cy) which is almost entirely contained within the first
1500 ft of the dredging corridor.
As for the beach fill portion of the project, there have also been changes in the existing conditions from
July 2014 until now. Additional erosion has occurred in Reach 1 (34,200 cy - similar in volume to the
increased shoaling discussed above) to the point that the nourishment for Reach 2 is now being dropped
from consideration. The tables below and attached drawings outline the proposed design revisions based
on the changed conditions. Please note that the Reach 1 length is only being extended ^220 ft further
westward and ^30 ft further eastward from the previously approved plan but this extension is needed for
an adequate transition for the fill back to the current existing ground.

`Note: Numbers shown in red are increased from approved permit conditions — remaining values are

As can be seen by the above tables, while the overall dredged and placed volumes are increasing due to
increased shoaling/erosion since the original surveys were completed in July 2014, nearly every other
measure of potential effect will be reduced with the placing of material just within Reach 1. The overall
beach fill length, total fill area, as well as fill areas and volumes below MHW and MLW will reduced. Given
the current dynamic nature of this area, it is also posited that a more concentrated volume placement
near the critically eroding area in Reach 1 will prolong the overall life of the project as well.
Another revision to the design is the fact that the fill template now does not include any dune
construction. This revision was made given DCM direction late last week that the fill can only be placed
up to the face of the recently installed sandbags. Sand cannot be placed on top of or behind the bags as
part of this publicly financed project. Parcel data show that the extreme western end of the project now
fronts land owned by the Town of Oak Island.
Given that the contractor is currently onsite and has planned to start work on Tuesday or Wednesday, it
is hoped that an email approval can be given quickly as stated in the meeting Friday so that the project
can commence as originally planned. Thanks is advance for your consideration.

Major Development Permit
Give a brief description of purpose, use, and daily operations of the project when complete.
The purpose and need for the restoration project is driven by (1) commercial and recreational navigation requirements, (2)
estuarine & riverine water quality degradation, and (3) coastal erosion, which is currently rendering infrastructure vulnerable
and creating habitat loss for turtle nesting. Currently, the navigation of Eastern Channel, a natural channel, is limited to high
tides and many areas within the channel have severely shoaled to -4 It to -6 ft NAVD. The connection of Eastern Channel at
Lockwood Folly Inlet is currently closed due to the migration of large sand shoal/spit. The proposed project will create a new
channel 100 feet wide connecting Eastern Channel to Lockwood Folly Inlet allowing safe navigation of commercial and
recreational vessels. Please note that a shallow channel (-2.5 ft to -5 It NAVD) has recently formed in the area planned for
dredging.
The proposed action consists of dredging a channel with placement of beach compatible material on the beach at the West
end of the Town and placement of non -beach compatible material in the upland disposal area at Sheeps Island. A total of
229,000 cy of material will be excavated with approximately 201,800 cy of beach compatible material and 27,200 cy that will
be placed upland at Sheep Island. Excavations would be made by cutter head dredge and pumped via pipe to the beach or
upland disposal area.
Sediment would be spread via land -based equipment and shaped into a recreational beach between the existing toe of the
foredune and the low watermark. The beach fill will impact a total of 31.5 acres of beach and inshore area.
There will be two fill reaches of the project as illustrated in the permit drawings. Anticipating approximately 10% reduction of
volume of material (between what is dredged and ultimately placed on the beach), a total of 181,600 cy of material is
planned to be placed on the beach. The beach will include a flat berm at elevation +7.0 ft NAVD88 (based on a review of
numerous years of profile data for the existing berm elevation), extending seaward to a depth of (-}7-8 ft NAVD88 on a 1:20
slope. A 20-ft wide dune with a crest elevation of +10.0 ft NAVD will be restored fronting the properties on west beach that
installed sandbags this year (6623, 6621, 6617, and 6615, West Beach Drive, Oak Island, NC).
Reach 1 extends from approximately the 6900 block of West Beach Drive to approximately 6000 block (2,900 feet). Along
this reach of shoreline, the project will contain -13 - 88 cubic yards (avg = 50) per linear foot (cy/ft) of beach fill, with a berm
width initially placed 20-95 feet (ft) wide (see attached drawings). A taper section -250 It long will tie the main fill into the
natural shoreline at the ends of each reach. Lengths and volumes include the planned taper sections.
Reach 2 extends from approximately the 5700 block of West Beach Drive to approximately 5100 block (1,500 feet). Along
this reach of shoreline, the project will contain -25 - 35 cy/ft (drawing sections shown at worst case areas but avg = 25) of
beach fill, with a berm width initially placed 20-40 It wide (see attached drawings). A taper section -250 It long will tie the
main fill into the natural shoreline at the ends of each reach.
Sediment characteristics for the borrow area from recent borings are summarized in the narrative. Material placed on the
beach will be consistent with NCDCM sediment compatibility standards and will be visually monitored for sediment quality.
The Project would restore storm protection volumes and elevations and reduce potential storm damage to the sub -aerial
beach, protective berm, adjacent infrastructure, and coastal structures within the Project footprint. Once completed, public,
private, and commercial uses would continue including sunbathing, walking, wading, shelling, fossilinq, fishing, etc.
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 proposed dredging of the navigation channel will be performed by a hydraulic cutter head dredge and conveyed to the
beach nourishment and upland disposal area via pipeline. The beach compatible material will be placed along the shoreline
as illustrated in the permit drawings. Only the profile above high water is controllable in beach nourishment construction;
intertidal and underwater portions of the profile will be subject to natural adjustment by waves.
Work will progress in sections within the proposed navigation channel from west to east and along the beach. The pumping
rate and construction duration will depend on the size of the dredge and pipeline used by the Contractor and duration may be
expected to be between 30 to 60 days.
Construction activities will involve movement of heavy equipment and pipe along the beaches. Once a section is complete,
piping and heavy equipment will be shifted to a new section and the process repeated. As soon as practicable, sections will
be graded and dressed to final slopes. Other than at temporary equipment staging areas, residents and visitors along the
project area will not experience significant disruption to recreational activities except within the immediate construction area.
Land -based equipment will be brought to the site over public roads and will enter the beach at existing beach access at the
western end of the island. Existing dunes and vegetation on the beach will be avoided and preserved; however, any
alteration of dune vegetation/topography necessary for equipment access will be repaired to pre -project conditions. Daily
equipment staging will be on the constructed beach seaward of the dune line. Construction contracts will provide for proper
storage and disposal of oils, chemicals, and hydraulic fluids (etc.) necessary for operation in accordance with state and
federal regulations. RECEI D

This notice is intended to malmyou, theapplicant, aware of the
special risks and conditions associated with development in this
area, which is subject to natural hazards such as stornu, erosion
and currents. The roles of the Coastal Resources Commission
require that you receive an ABC Hazard Notice and acknowledge
that notice in writing before a permit for development can be
issued.
The Commission's rules on building standards, oceanfront
setbacks and dune alterations are designed to minimize, but not
eliminate, property lossirom hazards, By granting permits, the
Coastal Resources Commission does not guarentee the safety of
the development and assumes no liability for future damage to
the development. Permits issued in the Ocean Hazard Area of
Environmental Concern include the condition that structures be
relocated or dismantled ifthey become imminently threatened by
changes in shoreline configuration. Thestructure(s) must be
relocated or dismantled within two (2) years of becoming
imminently threatened, and in say case upon its collapse or
subsidence.
The best available information, as accepted by the .Coastal
Resources Commission, indicates that the annual long-term
average ocean erosion rate for the area where your property is
located is .et per year. y if '
The rate was established by careful analysis of seal photographs
of the coastline taken over the past 50 years.
Studies also indicate that the shoreline could move e much as
Wfeet landward in a major storm. 5#` � �y/'
The flood waters in a major storm are predicted to be about
13'11ti feet deep in this area. IN if-/ 20//mea
�
Preferred oceanfront protection measures are beachmm�is nt
and relocation of threatened structures, Hard erosion control
structures such as bulkheads, seawalls, revetments, groins,jeties
and breakwaters ate prohibited. Temporary sand begs may be
authorized undercenain 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.
Appllcent Signature Date
SPECIAL NOTE: This hazard 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 aite, the Local Permit
Officer must be contacted to determine the vegetation line and
setback distance at your site. If the property has seen little change
since the time of permit issuance, and the proposed development
can still meet the setback requirement, the LPG will inform you
that you may begin work. Substantial progress on -the project
must be made within 60 days of this setback determination, or
du setback must be remeasured. Also, the occurrence ofa major
shoreline change as the result of a storm within the 60-day period
will necessitate remeasurement of the setback It is important
that you cluck with the LPO before the permit expires for official
approval to continue the work after the permit has expired.
Generally, iffoundation pilings have been placed and substantial
progress is continuing, permit renewal can be authorized. It is
u nlawful to continue work after permit expiration.

Folly, Brunswick County, North Carolina.
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) reviewed the
permit application with regard to impacts on fish and wildlife resources. The project site is located at
5100-5700 & 6000-6900 W. Beach Dr. adjacent the Atlantic Ocean in Oak Island. 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 applicant proposes to dredge a portion of Eastern Channel with a beach nourishment project
for a portion of the west end of Oak Island. The Eastern Channel dredging portion of the project is
adjacent to Sheep Island to the north, residential properties to the south, Lockwood Folly Inlet to the west,
and Montgomery Slough to the east. This beach fill project site is bordered by residential properties to the
north, the Atlantic Ocean to the south, Lockwood Folly Inlet to the west and the beach strand to the east.
Approximately 229,000 cubic yards of material will be removed from Eastern Channel with
approximately 201,800 cubic yards of beach quality material being placed along two stretches of the
beach at the west end of Oak Island. The remaining 27,200 cubic yards of non -compatible dredged
material located east of station 50+75 would be disposed of at Sheep Island. The proposed channel
alignment was chosen based on modeling and sediment samples. The Eastern Channel is classified SA
waters by the Environmental Management Commission.

The NCWRC has reviewed the permit application and has been engaged in several scoping
meetings and discussions. We understand there may be a change in the non -beach compatible material FEB 0 $ 20E

placement, moving to Horse Island rather than Sheep Island, per request from the USACE. This change, if
it occurs, will not affect our comments. To minimize impacts to nesting shorebirds, foraging shorebirds,
and sea turtles, we request an April 1— November 15 moratorium for the placement of material on the
beach front. Measures to further reduce impacts to habitat, such as beginning the project at the western
most end of Eastern Channel and conducting the placement of material on the beach front during the early
stages of project implementation is appreciated.

Project Location: 5100-5700 & 6000-6900 W. Beach Drive, adjacent to the Atlantic
Ocean in Oak Island, Brunswick County
Proposed Project: to dredge Eastern Channel for beach nourishment
The project including dredge disposal and beach nourishment would likely occur during
periods of the year when tourism and recreation in general is low. The placement of
dredged materials along a swimming beach has the potential to cause a localized
increase in bacteria concentrations within the waters surrounding the project. Potential
issues can be avoided by scheduling these types of projects between November 15t and
March 315t of a given year, which falls outside of the swimming season.

DATE: January 5, 2015
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 is
proposing to dredge Eastern Channel near Lockwood Folly inlet and use some of the spoil from that
excavation for a beach nourishment project near the west end of Oak Island. The project is anticipated
to impact 22.6 acres of estuarine bottom by dredge, 7.8 acres of shallow intertidal beach and 17 acres of
high ground by fill.
Several Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) types within and nearthe project area have been identified in the
report filed with the application. These habitats have been deemed critical to the lifecycles of fish and
shellfish. Ih orderto minimize negative effects on fish and shellfish in these areas an in -water work
moratorium from April 1-Septemeber 30 is requested. The project time line outlined in the application
states work is anticipated to last until April 30. Efforts should be made to complete work before the
moratorium begins and if work cannot be completed before April 1 a request for moratorium relief can
be made at that time.

MEMORANDUM
To: Jonathan Howell
From: Michael Christenbury, Wilmington District Planner
Subject: Consistency Determination, Major Permit Application, Town of Oak
Island, Oak Island — Brunswick County
Date: February 2, 2015
This project is consistent and not in conflict with the Oak Island Land Use Plan.
The applicant proposes the dredging of Eastern Channel with a beach nourishment
project for a portion of the west end of Oak Island.
Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC's) impacted by the proposal are OH, EW and PT.
Waters at the project site are classified as SA/SB and are open to the harvesting of
shellfish. The area is not a Primary Nursery Area.
I have reviewed this proposal for consistency with the Oak Island Land Use Plan and
offer the following comments.
The general area of the project is classified as Developed (upland).
In general, Oak Island allows development in conservation classified AECs which is
consistent with the State's minimum use standards. The Oak Island Land Use Plan (Long
Beach/Yaupon Beach consolidated plans) contains some policies, which exceed the
State's minimum use standards. However, none of these standards appear to be
applicable to this proposal.
This project appears to be consistent with the Oak Island Land Use Plan.

The Federal agencies have completed review of the proposal as presented by the application and your field investigation
report.
We recommend that the following conditions be included in the State authorization:
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/manatee_guidelines.pdf.
2. As part of the operation and maintenance of the Federally authorized project, the Wilmington District routinely
surveys the Lockwoods Folly Inlet, including, but not limited to, the portion at its intersection with the Eastern Channel,
in order to assess dredging needs to maintain navigability of the Lockwoods Folly Inlet Crossing. The permittee shall
provide written notification to the Wilmington District Regulatory Division two weeks prior to the commencement of
construction, to allow the District to perform a baseline survey of the area of the AIW W that may be potentially affected
by the proposed project.
3. If the District Engineer, in his sole discretion, determines that the permitted activity has caused additional
shoaling (above historical amounts, taking into account inlet dynamics and storm effects) within the Federal Project, on
Tangent 11 in the AIWW from Cape Fear River, NC to Little River, SC (specifically Lockwoods Folly Inlet Crossing), and
that such section should be dredged in order to maintain safe and efficient navigation on the Inlet Crossing, he will so
notify the permittee in writing. The notification will specify the extent to which additional shoaling has occurred, the
area of the Inlet Crossing that must be dredged, the depth to which it must be dredged, and the time frame within which
dredging must begin (a minimum of 90 days will be allowed). The permittee shall either provide contributed funds to
compensate the government for the portion of the costs associated with dredging the additional shoal material, or cause
the area of the Inlet Crossing specified by the District Engineer to be dredged in a manner and within the time frame
specified in the notice. If the Permittee dredges the Inlet Crossing, a post -construction survey of dredged areas, within
the Federal Project, shall be completed and coordinated with the District Engineer within 30 days of the end of
construction. The District Engineer may require additional remedial action in the event that surveyed data reveals
contours not consistent with Federally authorized depths. A 90-day window will be allowed for any remedial action
required to restore the area to Federally authorized and maintained depths.
J 1�
4. Prior to the commencement of construction of the authorized dredging or other work within the right-of-way of,
or in proximity to, a Federally maintained navigation channel, the Permittee shall obtain all necessary Consents to cross
Government Easement from our Real Estate Division. The Real Estate Division may be contacted at: CESAS-RE-MC, 69
Darlington Avenue, Wilmington North Carolina 28403-1343, tel. 910-251-4474.

construction. Prior to commencing work associated with improvements or disposal on DA-0284, the permittee shall
coordinate with the Corps of Engineers, Real Estate Division for any approvals needed to perform work within the Corps
easement. The Real Estate Division may be contacted at: CESAS-RE-MC, 69 Darlington Avenue.
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. No claim shall be made against the United States on account of any such removal, relocation, or
alteration. The permittee shall notify NOAA/NATIONAL OCEAN SERVICE Chief Source Data Unit N CS261, 1315 E West
HWY- RM 7316, Silver Spring, MD 20910-3282 at least two weeks prior to beginning work and upon completion of work.
7. 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.
8. 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
material within waters or wetlands outside the permitted area. This prohibition applies to all borrow and fill activities
connected with this project.

Terms and Conditions for All Species
E
23. After initial construction, and for the life of the permit, all maintenance dredging and sand placement activities
must be conducted within the winter work window (November 16 to March 31), unless necessitated by an emergency
condition and allowed after consultation with the Service.
24. All derelict coastal armoring geotextile material and other debris must be removed from the beach to the
maximum extent possible, prior to any construction.
25. Conservation Measures included in the permit application/project plans must be implemented in the proposed
project. If a RPM and Term and Condition address the same requirement, the requirements of the RPM and Term and
Condition take precedent over the Conservation Measure.
26. Predator -proof trash receptacles must be installed and maintained during construction at all beach access points
used for the project construction and any maintenance events, to minimize the potential for attracting predators of
piping plovers. All contractors conducting the work must provide predator -proof trash receptacles for the construction
workers. All contractors and their employees must be briefed on the importance of not littering and keeping the Action
Area free of trash and debris. See the Appendix for examples of suitable receptacles.
27. All personnel involved in the construction or sand placement process along the beach shall be trained to
recognize the presence of piping plovers prior to initiation of work on the beach. Before start of work each morning, a
visual survey must be conducted in the area of work for that day, to determine if piping plovers are present. If plovers
are present in the work area, careful movement of equipment in the early morning hours should allow those individuals
to move out of the area. Construction operations shall not begin until individual plovers have exited the work area for
the day. If piping plovers are observed, the observer shall make a note on the Quality Assurance form for that day, and
submit the information to the Corps and the Service's Raleigh Field Office the following day. See REPORTING
REQUIREMENTS, below.
28. A bird monitoring plan must be developed to monitor piping plover, red knot, waterbirds, colonial waterbirds,
and other shorebirds during and after construction. Monitoring must be conducted for a minimum of three (3) full years
past the completion of construction, or until the end of the shorebird nesting season (August 31) of the third year after
construction, whichever is later. Based on results of the monitoring, continued bird monitoring may also be required
during maintenance events. Post -construction monitoring may only be ceased after the review of at least three years'
worth of data and approval by the USACE, USFWS, NCDCM, and NCWRC.
a. The bird monitoring plan must be submitted for review and approval to the USACE, USFWS, NCDCM, and
NCWRC, at least 15 days prior to the anticipated start of construction.
b. During construction, bird monitoring must be conducted weekly. For at least three years after construction is
completed, bimonthly (twice -monthly) bird surveys shall be conducted in all intertidal and shoreline areas along
Lockwood Folly Inlet. Transects shall be established to encompass, at a minimum, all intertidal areas in the vicinity of
Eastern Channel and Lockwoods Folly Inlet on both sides of the inlet (Oak Island, Sheep Island, and Holden Beach), and
the ocean shoreline from Lockwoods Folly Inlet east to approximately 6001 West Beach Drive (or the eastern end of the
westernmost sand placement area).
C. Field observations must be conducted during daylight hours, and primarily during high tide.
d. Shorebird identification, especially when in non -breeding plumage, can be difficult. The person(s) conducting the
survey must demonstrate the qualifications and ability to identify shorebird species and be able to provide the
information listed below. The bird monitoring plan should include the collection and reporting of the following:
I. Date, location, time of day, weather, and tide cycle when survey was conducted;
ii. Latitude and longitude of observed piping plover and red knot locations (decimal degrees preferred);
iii. Any color bands observed on piping plovers or red knots or other birds;
IV. Behavior (e.g., foraging, roosting, preening, bathing, flying, aggression, walking, courtship, copulation);
V. Landscape features(s) where birds are located (e.g., inlet spit, tidal creeks, shoals, lagoon shoreline);
vi. Habitat features(s) used by birds when observed (e.g., intertidal, fresh wrack, old wrack, dune, mid -beach,
vegetation);
X
vii. Substrata used by birds (e.g., sand, mud/sand, mud, algal mat); and
viii. The amount and type of recreational use (e.g., people, dogs on or off leash, vehicles, kite -boarders).
e. All monitoring information shall be provided in standardized form on an Excel spreadsheet. Monitoring results
shall be submitted (datasheets, maps, database) on standard electronic media (e.g., CD, DVD) to the Raleigh Field Office.

Subject: Town of Oak Island: Eastern Channel Project
Action ID. No. SAW-2014-02180
Dear Mr. Crumbley:
This responds to your email of December 23, 2014, concerning the Town of Oak Island's
application for dredging of Eastern Channel and nourishment of Oak Island Beach. The U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has reviewed the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management's (NCDCM) Field Investigation Report, the Biological Assessment (BA), and other
information concerning the project. This letter is provided in accordance with section 7(a)(2) of
the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), and the Fish
and Wildlife Coordination Act (FWCA) (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
Project Description
The project is in and around the vicinity of Lockwoods Folly Inlet, extending from the Atlantic
Ocean to the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIW W), including Eastern Channel and the
beachfront on Oak Island, in Brunswick County, North Carolina. The purpose of the proposed
project is to improve navigation and flushing in Eastern Channel, protect properties located along
the western end of Oak Island from erosion, and nourish portions of Oak Island.
The Town of Oak Island proposes to dredge Eastern Channel and dispose of the beach -
compatible portion of the dredged material on the western oceanfront shoreline of Oak Island.
The non -compatible material will be placed within an existing confined disposal area on Sheep
Island. The project consists of dredging a new 100-foot wide channel within Eastern Channel
(between Oak Island and Sheep Island) to a depth of-3 to -I I feet and placing approximately
201,800 cubic yards (cy) of beach -compatible material on the western beaches of Oak Island.
Approximately 3.49 acres of intertidal shoals above MLLW will be dredged. Dredging of

Eastern Channel will be performed by a cutterhead dredge pipeline dredge and conveyed to the
beach placement areas via a 24-inch reinforced concrete pipeline, existing within the Town of
Oak Island's easement.
The beach fill will be placed along two separate reaches. Reach 1 is proposed to be 2,900 If,
while Reach 2 is proposed to be 1,500 If, for a total of 4,4001f of fill. The beach fill will impact
a total of 22.4 acres of intertidal and dry beach area. The beach fill will include a flat berm at an
elevation of 7.0 NAVD, extending seaward to a depth of approximately -7 to -8 ft NAVD, on a
1:20 slope. A 20-foot wide dune with a crest elevation of 10.0 ft NAVD will be restored in front
of four properties that installed sandbags during 2014 (6623, 6621, 6617, and 6615 West Beach
Drive, Oak Island, NC). There will be a 2501f taper section at the beginning and end of each
reach. Beach fill will be conducted from west to east, and will involve movement of heavy
equipment and pipe along the beaches. Once a section is completed, pipe and heavy equipment
will be shifted to a new section and the process repeated. Land -based equipment will be brought
to the site over public roads, and will enter the beach at existing beach access points along the
western end of Oak Island. Existing dunes and vegetation on the beach will be avoided.
Federally -listed species
The following Federally- listed species are found within the project area: West Indian manatee
(Trichechus manatus), piping plover (Charadrius melodus), red knot (Calidris canutus rufa),
wood stork (Mycteria americana), seabeach amaranth (Amaranthus pumilus), and the Kemp's
ridley (Lepidochelys kempi), hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata), leatherback (Dermochelys
coriacea), loggerhead (Caretta caretta), and green.(Chelonia mydas) sea turtles. Whales,
shormose sturgeon (Acipenser brevisrostrum), Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus), and sea
turtles in the water are under the jurisdiction of NOAA Fisheries' Protected Species Division.
Of the five sea turtle species, the leatherback, loggerhead, Kemp's ridley, and green sea turtle
may nest in the project area. On July 10, 2014, the Service designated Critical Habitat for the
Northwest Atlantic Ocean distinct population segment of the loggerhead sea turtle. Critical
Habitat Unit LOGG-T-NC-07 includes the project area. The description of LOGG-T-NC-07 is
as follows: "This unit consists of 20.9 km (13.0 mi) of island shoreline along the Atlantic Ocean
and extends from the mouth of the Cape Fear River to Lockwoods Folly Inlet." Please see 79 FR
39756 for more information.
RECEIVEC
On December 11, 2014, the Service listed the rufa red knot (or red knot) as threatened JAN 2 0
throughout its range. The rule becomes effective on January 12, 2015. Please refer to 79 FR
73706 for more information on the listing of the red knot. Aek"-M"„ � i
The Corps has determined that, provided the recommended measures in the draft BA are
implemented, the proposed project may affect but is not likely to adversely affect the West
Indian manatee, red knot, wood stork, seabeach amaranth, and sea turtles. The Corps has
determined that the project may affect, and is likely to adversely affect the piping plover.
Potential affects to the piping plover are being addressed through formal consultation.
Therefore, this letter primarily addresses general concerns and concerns for potential impacts to
West Indian manatee, red knot, wood stork, seabeach amaranth, and sea turtles.
Service Concerns
The Service is pleased that the applicant does not propose to conduct sand placement activities
within the sea turtle nesting season, and that the sand is expected to meet the requirements of the
North Carolina Technical Standards for Beach Fill (15A NCAC 07H .0312). In Section 4.0
(pages 32 and 33) of the NCDCM permit application, the applicant proposes a list of
conservation measures, including commitments to work windows, dredge and equipment
lighting, access of equipment, protection of existing dunes, spill response, staging areas off the
beach, visual monitoring, and others. We recommend that these conservation measures be
incorporated into the Corps' authorization, unless more stringent requirements are recommended
below or in the biological opinion for the project.
The Service remains concerned that this project may not significantly address the erosion
problem on the west end of Oak Island. Natural coastal and inlet dynamics may quickly remove
the sand from the beachfront. In addition, we remain concerned that deepening Eastern Channel
may cause unanticipated problems with overall inlet hydrodynamics. Deepening the channel
will result in a higher proportion of flows from Lockwoods Folly River through Eastern Channel
(compared to historical flows) and a proportionally lower flow through the AIWW and inlet
proper. It is unclear to the Service whether the potential impacts of these flow changes have
been adequately investigated. Although the applicant indicates that the channel dredging will not
affect the inlet or Holden Beach, the overall consequences remain to be seen. We note that the
Town of Holden Beach is investigating a proposal to place a terminal groin on the east end of the
island, adjacent to Lockwoods Folly Inlet. The Service recommends that if the applicant has not
already done so, steps be taken to coordinate plans with the Town of Holden Beach regarding the
inlet and management of channels and sand in the area.
Service Recommendations
If the Corps incorporates as conditions of authorization the conservation measures listed in
Section 4.0 of the permit application and the recommended conditions listed below, the Service
would concur with the determination that the proposed action is not likely to adversely affect the
West Indian manatee, red knot, wood stork, seabeach amaranth, and the loggerhead, leatherback,
green, hawksbill, and Kemp's ridley sea turtles. The Service would also concur that the project
is not likely to adversely modify loggerhead critical habitat as defined by the ESA. RECEIVED

1. All material used for the beach nourishment must be beach compatible, clean, free of debris
and clay, and free of any pollutants except in trace quantities. In general, fill material that meets
the requirements of the North Carolina Technical Standards for Beach Fill (15A NCAC 07H
.0312) is considered compatible. The permittee shall ensure that an inspector is present during
all beach disposal activities and immediately reports to the USACE should any potentially
incompatible material be placed on the beach. During dredging operations, material placed on
the beach shall be inspected daily to ensure compatibility. If during the sampling process non -
beach compatible material, including large amounts of shell, is or has been placed on the beach
all work shall stop immediately and the NCDCM and the USACE will be notified by the
permittee and/or its contractors to determine the appropriate plan of action.
2. After initial construction, and for the life of the permit, all maintenance dredging and sand
placement activities must be conducted within the winter work window (November 16 to March
31), unless necessitated by an emergency condition and allowed after consultation with the
Service.
3. Visual surveys of escarpments along the project area must be made immediately after
completion of any sand placement events, and within 30 days prior to May 1 for three
subsequent years after a placement event. Prior to May 1, any escarpment over 100 feet long and
18 inches high in the newly placed beach fill shall be graded to match adjacent grades on the
beach. Between May 1 st and November 15th, any escarpments that interfere with sea turtle
nesting or that exceed 100 feet long and 18 inches high in the newly placed beach fill shall be
graded to match adjacent grades on the beach. Removal of any escarpments during the sea turtle
hatching season (May 1 through November 15) shall be coordinated with NCDCM, USACE,
USFWS and NCWRC. The NCDCM, USACE, USFWS and NCWRC must be contacted
immediately if subsequent reformation of escarpments that interfere with sea turtle nesting or
that exceed 18 inches in height for a distance of 100 feet occurs during the nesting and hatching
season to determine the appropriate action to be taken. Escarpment monitoring in post
construction years may be coordinated with the volunteer sea turtle monitoring program of the
NCWRC. All escarpment management efforts will be included in the annual report to the
NCDCM and USACE.
4. Sand compaction must be monitored at least twice after each sand placement event. Sand
compaction must be monitored in the project area immediately after completion of any sand
placement event and one time after project completion between October 1 and May 1. Out -year
compaction monitoring and remediation are not required if the placed material no longer remains
on the dry beach. Within 7 days of completion of sand placement and prior to any tilling (if
needed), a field meeting shall be held with USFWS, NCWRC and the USACE to inspect the
project area for compaction and determine whether tilling is needed.
RECEIVED
JAN 2 0
a. If tilling is needed, the area must be tilled to a depth of 36 inches. All tilling activities
shall be completed prior to May 1 of any year.
b. Tilling must occur landward of the wrack line and avoid all vegetated areas that are 3
square feet of greater, with a 3 square feet buffer around all vegetation.
c. If tilling occurs during the shorebird nesting season (after April 1, shorebird surveys
are required prior to tilling per the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
d. A summary of the compaction assessments and the actions taken shall be included in
the annual report to NCDCM, the USACE and the USFWS Raleigh Field Office.
e. These conditions will be evaluated and may be modified if necessary to address and
identify sand compaction problems.
5. Sea turtle nesting survey data collected within the project area must be conducted between
May 1 and November 15 of each year, for at least two consecutive nesting seasons after
completion of each sand placement activity (2 years post -construction monitoring after initial
construction and each maintenance event). Acquisition of readily available sea turtle nesting
data from qualified sources (volunteer organizations, other agencies, etc.) is acceptable.
However, in the event that data from other sources cannot be acquired, the permittee will be
responsible to collect the data. Data collected by the permittee for each nest should include, at a
minimum, the location, species (if known), date of laying, date of hatching, and hatchling
success rate (if known). The report should include detailed information for any nests that are
relocated during the study period. Data must be collected daily for the entire nesting season and
will be included in the annual report.
6. Before start of work each morning, contracted personnel will provide a visual survey
conducted in the area of work for that day, to determine if piping plovers or red knots are
present. If plovers or red knots are present in the work area, careful movement of equipment in
the early morning hours should allow those individuals to move out of the area. If piping plovers
or red knots are observed, the observer shall make a note on the field monitoring form for that
day, and submit the information to the NCDCM, the USACE and the USFWS Raleigh Field
Office within three days.
7. Pipeline placement must be coordinated with NCDCM, the USACE, the USFWS Raleigh
Field Office and the NCWRC.
8. The permittee must comply with the Service's "Guidelines for Avoiding Impacts to the West
Indian Manatee: Precautionary Measures for Construction Activities in North Carolina Waters."
9. An annual report shall be submitted to the USACE, NCDCM and the USFWS's Raleigh Field
Office, summarizing the monitoring and survey data collected during the preceding year
(escarpment surveys, compaction surveys, sea turtle nesting data, and any piping plover or red RECEIVED
knot observations). The annual report should be submitted by January 31 of each year for review

3. If the District Engineer, in his sole discretion, determines that the permitted activity has
caused additional shoaling (above historical amounts, taking into account inlet dynamics and
storm effects) within the Federal Project, on Tangent 11 in the AI W W from Cape Fear River,
NC to Little River, SC (specifically Lockwoods Folly Inlet Crossing), and that such section
should be dredged in order to maintain safe and efficient navigation on the Inlet Crossing, he
will so notify the permittee in writing. The notification will specify the extent to which
additional shoaling has occurred, the area of the Inlet Crossing that must be dredged, the
depth to which it must be dredged, and the time frame within which dredging must begin (a
minimum of 90 days will be allowed). The permittee shall either provide contributed funds
to compensate the government for the portion of the costs associated with dredging the
additional shoal material, or cause the area of the Inlet Crossing specified by the District
Engineer to be dredged in a manner and within the time frame specified in the notice. If the
Permittee dredges the Inlet Crossing, a post -construction survey of dredged areas, within the
Federal Project, shall be completed and coordinated with the District Engineer within 30 days
of the end of construction. The District Engineer may require additional remedial action in
the event that surveyed data reveals contours not consistent with Federally authorized depths.
A 90-day window will be allowed for any remedial action required to restore the area to
Federally authorized and maintained depths.

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 December 16, 2014. 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 2H.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
the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater discharge requirements. You are required to have
an NPDES permit for stormwater discharge from projects meeting these criteria. All temporary built -upon area associated with
the construction of the project must be removed within 30 days of completion of the project, or when it is no longer needed,
whichever occurs first.
If you have any questions or need additional information concerning this matter please contact Linda Lewis at (910) 796-7215,

The following management summary discusses the results of field investigations conducted
pursuant to the above -referenced project, and provides information on which to base management
decisions relative to permit obligations under the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966.
INTRODUCTION
The Town of Oak Island is currently proposing the Lockwoods Folly River Habitat Restoration
Project that entails dredging of the Eastern Channel. Located inside Lockwood Folley Inlet, in
Brunswick County, North Carolina (Figure 1), the proposed dredging area consists of areas through
the Eastern Channel of the Lockwood Folly River (Figure 2).
As a stipulation to environmental permit requirements, the North Carolina Department of Cultural
Resources, State Historic Preservation Office, specified by letter that the Town of Oak Island must
consider the effects that their proposed project activities will have on cultural resources. Therefore,
they are responsible for determining if any potential cultural resources are located within the current
Project Area under evaluation, and if so, are eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic
Places (NRHP) prior to the implementation of any project activities. The federal statutes regarding
these responsibilities include: Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as
amended (PL 89-665); the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969; the Archaeological
Resources Protection Act of 1987; the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation Procedures for the
Protection of Historic and Cultural Properties (36 CFR Part 800); and the Abandoned Shipwreck
Act of 1987.

In order to comply with the Town of Oak Island responsibilities towards cultural resources,
Panamerican Consultants, Inc. of Memphis, Tennessee (Panamerican), was subcontracted by Dial
Cordy & Associates, Inc. of Wilmington, North Carolina (Dial Cordy) to conduct a comprehensive
remote sensing survey of the submerged Project Area to determine the presence or absence of
potentially significant targets. Performed on January 21s` and 22"d, the survey utilized a
magnetometer, sidescan sonar, and subbottom profiler. A total of 24 magnetic anomalies, 7 sidescan
sonar targets, and one subbottom feature were recorded during the current survey. Analysis of data
indicates that only one target has signature characteristics potentially indicative of significant
historic resources. Located in the northern end of the survey area, the target is an anomaly an
associated sonar contact as well as a subbottom return (Figure 1).

as a depression 43 feet in length and 7 feet wide. The associated subbottom profiler contact is
shown in Figure 4. A depression with a parabolic return in the base of the depression, the return is
though to be the source for the magnetics.

Conclusions and Recommendations
Analysis of data indicates that of all the anomalies, contacts and features, a single anomaly with
an associated sonar contact and subbottom feature is present. While the target (anomaly and
associated sonar contact and subbottom feature) does not necessarily have the appearance of the
remains of a shipwreck, its identity and subsequent significance are unknown. Because its
identity and significance are unknown the target is recommended for avoidance by a buffer of at
least 50 feet or less if concurrence is obtained from the state. If the potentially significant target
will be impacted and cannot be avoided, it is recommended the Town of Oak Island conduct an
assessment of the target with archaeological divers to determine its identity and historical
significance, based on National Register of Historic Places nomination eligibility criteria.
If you have any questions concerning the results of our investigation or our recommendations
please do not hesitate to contact me.

Importance: High
Everyone,
Please note that we did hold the bid opening today for the Lockwoods Folly Habitat Restoration Project. The apparent
low bidder was Cottrell Contracting with a bid that was 5% over the engineers estimate. Based on our subsequent
discussions with Cottrell, we are confident that we will negotiate a contract that meets the Town's budget.
Therefore, please continue to move forward at full steam ahead. They stated that they have equipment that can be
mobilized as soon as we give them a Notice to Proceed. As soon as we get the permit authorizations, we will work to get
them here as quickly as possible. The sooner we get them started, the quicker we can get the job done and limit the
chances of requests for extensions. Thanks as always for your help in this project!

Good morning Doug/Jonathan/Tyler- I'd like to summarize our conversations from yesterday afternoon to make sure we
are all on the same page with the timeline of the Eastern Channel project.
Status Update:
1. CAMA Application was deemed complete by DCM on December 11. CAMA has 75 days to review (with option to
request additional time).
2. CAMA Public Notice ended January 8th. USACE Public Notice ends January 22nd.
3. Items complete or received:
a. USACE: EPA comments, Coast Guard, USFWS informal consultation letter, BO terms and conditions, Internal 408
Review Complete, SHPO letter (request for survey)
CAMA: SHPO letter (request for survey), State Property Office, Stormwater, Sediment Control
4. Items outstanding:
a. USACE: NMFS letter (anticipated January 22), SHPO Determination of Findings (cultural resource survey to be
completed January 20), Sediment analysis for Consent Agreement (complete January 23)
b. CAMA:401 Water Quality Certification, NC Wildlife Resources Commission comments, NC Division of Marine
Fisheries comments
Projected Timeframe based on the above:
a. Cultural Resource Survey and Management Summary - completed January 27
b. SHPO Determination of Finding - completed January 30
C. USACE Complete Joint Process (send conditions to CAMA) - February 6

Recommendations for State Permit — Town of Oak Island- Lockwoods Folly Project 12/13/14
As proposed, this project would pump an approximate gross volume of 181,600 cubic yards of sand on the
west end of Oak Island. The project's sampling appears to be consistent with the Technical Standards set
forth in NCAC 07H .0312 as well as the use standards of NCAC 07H .0208(b)(1). This office does have
some concerns as to whether Sheep Island has adequate disposal capacity for the proposed work; however,
the USACE will assess the capacity prior to their final approval of the Town's use of the site. These concerns
have been discussed with the project's engineer, who was advised that any proposed dike work would likely
require permit modification. A permit condition to this effect should allow the time -sensitive portions of this
project to move ahead while providing adequate safeguards regarding spoil disposal.
Provided there are no other concerns expressed by the resource agencies, the Wilmington Regional Office
has no objection to the issuance of a permit for the proposal if issued with the following conditions:
Excavation will not exceed -15 NAVD88 and shall adhere to the proposed dredge depths shown on
the plans.
2. All excavation shall take place entirely within the areas indicated on the plans
3. No vegetated wetlands/marsh grass will be excavated or filled. Excavation shall be set back a
minimum of 10' from any Coastal Wetlands.
4. The temporary placement or double handling of excavated or fill materials within waters or
vegetated wetlandsis not authorized.
5. No excavated or fill material shall be placed at any time in any vegetated wetlands/marsh or
surrounding waters.
6. NOTE: The permittee's contractor is advised to contact the U.S. Coast Guard at (910) 815-4895, ext.
108 to discuss operations and appropriate lighting, markers, etc. for all dredge equipment.
BEACH NOURISHMENT
This permit authorizes the beach nourishment activities to be carried out one (1) time along the entire
reach of the requested project area. Any request to carry out additional activities within an area
where nourishment activities have been completed under this permit shall require a modification of
this permit.
NOTE: The permittee is advised that the State of North Carolina claims title to all currently submerged lands
and any future lands that are raised above the Mean High Water level as a result of this project.
8. Prior to the initiation of beach nourishment activity along'each section of the beach, the existing
mean high water line shall be surveyed and a copy provided to the Division of Coastal Management.
9. Prior to the initiation of any beach nourishment activity above the normal high water contour line
(NHW) within the limits of the permittee's jurisdiction, easements or similar legal instruments shall
be obtained from all affected property owners.
10. Temporary dikes shall be used to retain and direct flow of material parallel to the shoreline to
minimize surf zone turbidities. The temporary dikes shall be 'removed and the beach graded in
7
accordance with approved profiles upon completion of pumping activities in that particular section of
the beach.
11. Should the dredging operations encounter sand deemed non -compatible with 15A NCAC 0711 .0312
(Technical Standards For Beach Fill Projects), the dredge operator shall immediately cease operation
and contact the Division of Coastal Management. Dredge operations shall resume only after
resolution of the issue of sand compatibility.
12. In order to prevent leakage, dredge pipes shall be routinely inspected. If leakage is found and repairs
cannot be made immediately, pumping of material shall stop until such leaks are fixed.
13. Once a section is complete, piping and heavy equipment shall be removed or shifted to a new section
and the area graded and dressed to final approved slopes.
14. Land -based equipment necessary for beach nourishment work shall be brought to the site through
existing accesses. Should the work result in any damage to existing accesses, the accesses shall be
restored to pre -project conditions immediately upon project completion in that specific area.
15. Where oceanfront development exists at elevations nearly equal to that of the native beach, a low
protective dune shall be pushed up along the backbeach to prevent slurry from draining towards the
development.
NOTE: The permittee is advised that any new access site would require a modification of this permit.
UPLAND SPOIL DISPOSAL
16. All excavated materials will be confined above mean high water and landward of regularly or
irregularly flooded marsh behind adequate dikes or other retaining structures to prevent
spillover of solids into any marsh or surrounding waters.
17. The dike/back fill material/disposal area/disturbed areas will be properly graded and provided a
ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion within 30 working days of project completion.
18. The spoil disposal area must be inspected and approved by a representative of the Division of
Coastal Management prior to the commencement of any dredging activities.
19. The disposal area effluent will be contained by pipe, trough, or similar device to a point at or beyond
the mean low/normal water level to prevent gully erosion and unnecessary siltation.
20. The terminal end of the pipeline will be positioned at or greater than 50 feet from any part of the
dike and a maximum distance from spillways to allow settlement of suspended sediments.
21. A water control structure shall be adequately maintained at the intake end of the effluent pipe to
assure compliance with water quality standards.
22. The permitted activity will be conducted in such a manner as to prevent a significant increase in
turbidity outside of the area of construction or construction -related discharge. Increases such that the
turbidity in the waterbody is 25 NTU's or less in all saltwater classes are not considered significant.
/j
23. If the crossing of Coastal Wetlands with mechanized construction equipment us necessary to access the
spoil disposal island, temporary construction mats shall be utilized for the areas to be crossed.
The temporary mats shall be removed immediately upon completion of construction.
24. The authorized dredging project involves the removal of material from an area that is closed to
shellfishing. The effluent from the dredged material will discharge into open shellfish waters.
The discharge shall require a temporary shellfish closure around the dredge soil spillway pipe.
The Division of Environmental Health, Shellfish Sanitation Section shall be notified at least
one week prior to pumping, and also notified by phone at (910) 796-7215, 24-hours prior to
pumping and upon completion of pumping.
25. Future development on the permittee's property may require a modification of this permit.
Contact a representative of this Division at (910) 395-7215 prior to commencement of any
such activity for this determination.
26. This permit does not authorize any land disturbing activity at the disposal site. Should it be
determined that the dike walls need to be elevated to accommodate the proposed project, a
modification of this permit may be required.
ADDITIONAL CONDPTIONS
27. The permittee and his contractor shall schedule a pre -construction conference with the Division of
Coastal Management prior to the initiation of any dredging activities.
28. No attempt shall 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.
29. The permittee shall obtain any necessary authorizations or approvals from the US Army Corps of
Engineers prior to the initiation of any permitted activity. All conditions of the Federal approval shall
be adhered to.
30. The permittee and/or his contractor shall provide for proper storage and handling of all oils,
chemicals, hydraulic fluids, etc., necessary to carry out the project.
NOTE: The permittee is advised that the Division of Coastal Management shall regulate the removal of
existing sandbags and the placement of new sandbags in accordance with 15A NCAC 07H
.0308(a)(2)(F), or in accordance with any variances granted by the NC Coastal Resources Commission.
NOTE: This permit does not eliminate the need to obtain any other required state, local, or federal
authorizations.
NOTE: If materials of cultural significance, such as the remains of a beached shipwreck are encountered
during construction, work must move to another area and the Underwater Archaeology unit at 910 458-
9042 to determine the appropriate response procedures.

Dawn,
The draft of the official letter responding to the management summary was sent yesterday into the system. Once
logged and processed by SHPO you should probably receive it sometime next week.
So you know, more or less, what to expect, UAB concurs with the conclusions/recommendations by Panam and provides
two comments.
/7
All project work must avoid identified target boundary by a minimum of 50 feet and if it can't be avoided it must
be ground-truthed and assessed prior to any disturbance.
• Caution notification of work on the beach about possibility of unknown beach wreck/fragment being exposed by
any heavy equipment used and need to notify UAB immediately if that happens for assessment.
If it is determined the target can't be avoided, UAB would be glad to assist with SOW requirements.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Dear Ms. York:
The Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your application, acting as agent for the
the Town of Oak Island, for State approval for the Lockwoods Folly River Habitat Restoration Project- Phase 1-
Eastern Channel, adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean and Lockwoods Folly Inlet, Oak Island, Brunswick County. It was
received as complete on 12/12/14 and appears to be adequate for processing at this time. The projected deadline for
making a decision is 2/27/15. 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 12/12/14, 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 of tree along the
road right-of-way fronting your property; or at a point along the road right-of-way where a private road would lead one
into your property. Failure to post this notice could result in an incomplete application.
An onsite inspection will be made, and if additional information is required, you will be contacted by the
appropriate State or Federal agency. Please contact me if you have any questions and notify me in writing if you wish to
receive a copy of my field report and/or comments from reviewing agencies.
Sincerely,
Walther Coats
Field Representative

RE: Permit Application —Town of Oak Island- Lockwoods Folly River Habitat Restoration Project
Dear Dawn:
On November 26, 2014, we received your CAMA Major Permit Application, acting as
agent for the Town of Oak Island for authorization to dredge Eastern Channel, located adjacent to
the Lockwoods Folly Inlet, in Oak Island, Brunswick County. However, your application lacks
information necessary for complete processing. The attached checklist indicates the deficiencies of
your application. If you respond within three working days from the date of this E-mail, processing
of your application will promptly continue and will not be placed on hold. If you are not able to
respond within three days, your application will not be accepted as complete for processing.
Additional information may be required pending further review by the fifteen (15) review agencies.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at my Wilmington office (910) 796-

CHECKLIST OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
PROCESSING APPLICATION
On the MP-1 form, please correct the following fields:
• 3.a. should indicate the Lumber River basin
• 4.b. describes 31.5 acres of proposed beach fill- yet figures given elsewhere seem to
indicate 32.8 acres of fill. Please check and confirm this entry.
• 4.m. indicates there are no wetlands on site, yet there are coastal wetlands adjacent to
Eastern Channel.
• 61.. only lists 3 adjacent riparian property owners- when 4 adjacent riparian property
owners should be listed and notified. Additionally, please submit certified mail
receipts and/or signed green cards to show proof of adjacent riparian property owner
notification.
2. On the MP-2 form, please complete or correct the following fields:
• Add the length and width of the proposed channel dredging in the table
• Please submit a letter of acceptance for the use of Sheep Island as an authorized
disposal site.
3. Please submit a complete signed and dated AEC Hazard Notice. A completed notice is
attached- please have Mr. Foster initial and date next to the long-term erosion rate, 100-year
storm recession calculation and flood elevations.
4. Please include more details on the design and dimensions of the proposed channel
excavation in your narrative. Additionally, the plans appear to show insufficient capacity
within the diked disposal site. Is additional work proposed to increase capacity? If so, this
work should be shown on the plans. If not, please explain how material will be adequately
contained. Additionally, vibracore 9 was only taken to -14' NAVD 88, yet dredging appears
to be proposed to -15' NAVD in this area. Please note that per 07H .0312(4)(a), sediment
excavation depths for all borrow sites shall not exceed the maximum depth of core at each
coring location" and that excavation may need to be limited to -14' in this area.
5. Please ensure your plans show all the following features: mean high water (MHW) and
mean low water (MLW) lines, waterward limits of coastal wetlands, existing structures
(including docks and sandbags), existing dunes, names of all adjacent riparian property
owners outside the project limits. Sheet 22 should also include the existing sandbags and
proposed work relative to the bags. Please adjust the weight of the MHW line on Sheet 3 so
it is distinguishable from the other lines. Please also identify water depths/elevations on the
contour lines shown on Sheet 6 (Dredging Plan 1 of 7) Please ensure the scale indicated on
plans is accurate for the sheet size. Again, plans appear to show that there is insufficient
capacity within the diked area at Sheep Island to adequately contain the proposed dredged
material. Details of the water control structure and both pipe locations should also be shown
on the spoil site plans. Please contact me to set up a site visit to the spoil site. It is also
suggested that plans be enlarged to 11" x 17" sheets and aerial imagery be included on
channel dredging plans in order to better read them.

8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing the dredging of Eastern Channel with a beach
nourishment project for a portion of the west end of Oak Island.
Town of Oak Island, Lockwoods Folly River Habitat Restoration Project, c/o Steve Foster

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project site is located at the west end of Oak Island, Brunswick County. To find the project site,
travel west on Oak Island Drive to Middleton Ave. Turn south on Middleton Ave and then turn right
on West Beach Drive. The dredge site extends from 57's Place West in Eastern Channel to the
Lockwoods Folly Inlet at the west end of the island. The beach fill portion of the project would
extend from the 5100-5700 block and from the 600-6900 block of West Beach Drive.
The Eastern Channel dredging portion of the project is adjacent to Sheep Island to the north,
residential properties to the south, Lockwoods Folly Inlet to the west, and Montgomery Slough to the
east. This beach fill project site is bordered by residential properties to the north, the Atlantic Ocean
to the south, Lockwoods Folly Inlet to the west and the beach strand to the east. The channel
dredging portion of the project is surrounded by tidal flats and coastal wetlands to the north and
south. Wetland vegetation adjacent to the channel consists primarily of Salt Marsh Cordgrass
(Spartina alternijlora). According to the applicant, current water depths within Eastern Channel
range from approximately -1' to -3' at Mean Low Water (MLW) or -4' to -6' NAVD88. Based on -
review of recent aerial photography, it appears the inlet to Eastern Channel has shifted north due to
the inflation of the inlet's flood shoal.
The long-term erosion rate in the project area is 2'/year, per the Division of Coastal Management's
2011 erosion rate maps. The 100-year storm recession line within the Ocean Erodible Area of
Environmental Concern (AEC) is predicted to be 325'. A portion of the project at the westernmost
extent is also located within the Inlet Hazard AEC.
The western extent of the beach fill project falls within an area that has recently been experiencing
accelerated erosion. Four general permits for sandbags were issued on May 21, 2014 to protect
threatened structures at 6615-6623 W. Beach Drive. The sandbag revetment was limited to a
maximum height of 6' and base width of 20', according to general permit conditions. The sandbags
were installed as permitted at the end of May and soon after subsided due to ongoing erosion,
leaving only the top row of sandbags exposed approximately 6-8' below the escarpment. State
Permit # 101-14 was issued by CRC variance on November 21, 2014 to allow for additional sandbags
to be installed at the greater height equal to the escarpment (El. I S.7') and at a base width of 30'. An
additional general permit for emergency sandbags was since issued for the next property to the east -
at 6613 W. Beach Drive. According to the contractor, installation of the additional sandbags was
scheduled to commence on December 10.
The waters of Eastern Channel are classified as SA, and the water of the Atlantic Ocean are
classified as SB by the NC Division of Water Quality. The NC Division of Marine Fisheries has
NOT designated either Eastern Channel or the Atlantic Ocean as a Primary Nursery Area, and the
waters of Eastern Channel are open to the harvesting of shellfish.

PROPOSED PROJECT:
The applicant is proposing to dredge approximately 229,000 cubic yards of material from Eastern
Channel and to dispose of the approximately 201,800 cubic yards beach quality material along two
stretches of the beach at the west end of Oak Island. The remaining 27,200 (approximate volume) of
non -compatible dredged material located east of station 50+75 would be disposed of at Sheep Island
(AIW W Disposal Area No. 286). The channel would be dredged from the AIW W to station 18+00
at a depth of -15' NAVD88 with a channel base width of 100' and side slopes of 3H:IV. From
station 20+00 to station 25+00, the channel would transition to a channel width of 75' and a dredge
depth of -12' NAVD88 with a 3:1 side slope. Around station 35+00, the proposed dredge depth
increases again to -15' NAVD88, while maintaining a channel width of 75'. The channel would then
begin to taper to a channel width of 40' at station 41+00. Dredge depth would remain at -15'
NAVD88. Around station 48+00, the channel would transition to a dredge depth of-12' NAVD88.
Dredging of material to be used for beach fill would terminate at station 50+75. East of station
50+75, the channel would decrease to a dredge depth of -9' NAVD88. The channel would remain at
a base width of 40' with 3:1 side slopes until station 82+00, or at the bend in Eastern Channel at
Bluewater Point marina where the channel then connects with the AIW W in a north to south
direction. The channel along this stretch would be dredged at a base width of 50', a depth of -9'
NAVD88 and with 3:1 slide slopes.
The proposed beach fill area would measure approximately 2,900' in length at the site termed Reach
1, from the 6900 to 6000 block of West Beach Drive and approximately 1,500 linear feet would be
placed at Reach 2 (from the 5700 to 5100 block of West Beach Drive). As proposed, the project is
estimated to deposit an approximate net volume of 143,900 cubic yards of sand at Reach 1 and
37,700 cubic yards of material at Reach 2, after accounting for an anticipated net loss of around 10%
of the disposed volume. The berm is proposed at an elevation of+7' NAVD88, with the exception
of the part of the beach with the existing sandbags, at which a berm elevation of+10' NAVD 88 is
proposed. The berm width would range from 20' to 95' in width along Reach 1 and 20' to 40' in
width at Reach 2. Fill at a 20H:1 V slope would extend seaward to a design elevation of -7' to -8'
NAVD 88 (see Sheets 21- 28 for proposed beach profile plans).
Sediments collected via Vibracore samples were shown to have an overall Unified Soils
Classification System (USCS) designation of SP for the western part of the channel, which is
proposed for beach fill (vibracores 7, 22, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18). These cores were performed to
elevations ranging from -12.7' NAVD88 (vibracore 22) to -18.8' NAVD88 ( vibracore 8). Vibracore
9 was the only core taken that did not reach an elevation exceeding that of the proposed dredge depth
for that area. It reached an elevation of -14.0 NAVD88, while dredging in the vicinity is proposed at
-15' NAVD88. While the gravel component of three samples (vibracores 18, 17, & 11) marginally
exceeded the allowable percentage compared to the native beach, all three were within one percent
of the 5.36% threshold (6.31 %, 5.77%, & 6.64%, respectively- See Table 4 in the narrative) and the
overall mean of all samples falls well within the limits described in NCAC 07H .0312(3) (See Table
8 in the narrative). According to the plans, the proposed dredging would not result in the excavation
of any coastal wetlands, nor impacts to existing docking facilities.

Page Four
The applicant states that the diked area of Sheep Island has a current capacity of approximately
40,000 cubic yards. As proposed, approximately 27,200 cubic yards of material would be disposed
of within the diked area. The project would leave approximately 1' freeboard, as designed. (See
Sheet 20 for cross section details of proposed spoil disposal and Sheet 13 for the plan view of the
spoil site.) A letter of consent from the NC Department of Administration/State Property Office was
issued on December 3, 2014 authorizing use of Sheep Island -for this project.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The proposed dredging would result in the excavation of approximately 6.3 acres of intertidal bottom
and approximately 16.3 acres of subtidal shallow bottom disturbance. Approximately 17 acres of
land would be filled above MHW (-103, 540 cubic yards) and 7.8 acres of beach fill would occur
below MHW (-78,060 cubic yards). The dredging and beach fill would result in temporary increases
in turbidity during construction. The applicant has stated they will likely need a month extension into
the standard moratorium in order to allow them adequate time to complete the project by April 30,
2014.

Give a brief description of purpose, use, and daily operations of the project when complete.
The purpose and need for the restoration project is driven by (1) commercial and recreational navigation requirements, (2)
estuarine & riverine water quality degradation, and (3) coastal erosion, which is currently rendering infrastructure vulnerable
and creating habitat loss for turtle nesting. Currently, the navigation of Eastern Channel, a natural channel, is limited to high
tides and many areas within the channel have severely shoaled to -4 It to -6 It NAVD. The connection of Eastern Channel at
Lockwood Folly Inlet is currently closed due to the migration of large sand shoal/spit. The proposed project will create a new
channel ranging from 40 to 100 feet wide connecting Eastern Channel to Lockwood Folly Inlet allowing safe navigation of
commercial and recreational vessels. Please note that a shallow channel (-2.5 ft to -5 ft NAVD) has recently formed in the
area planned for dredging.
The proposed action consists of dredging a channel with placement of beach compatible material on the beach at the West
end of the Town and placement of non -beach compatible material in the upland disposal area at Sheeps Island. A total of
229,000 cy of material will be excavated with approximately 201,800 cy of beach compatible material and 27,200 cy that will
be placed upland at Sheep Island. Excavations would be made by cutter head dredge and pumped via pipe to the beach or
upland disposal area.
Sediment would be spread via land -based equipment and shaped into a recreational beach between the existing toe of the
foredune and the low watermark. The beach fill will impact a total of 31.5 acres of beach and inshore area.
There will be two fill reaches of the project as illustrated in the permit drawings. Anticipating approximately 10% reduction of
volume of material (between what is dredged and ultimately placed on the beach), a total of 181,600 cy of material is
planned to be placed on the beach. The beach will include a flat berm at elevation +7.0 ft NAVD88 (based on a review of
numerous years of profile data for the existing berm elevation), extending seaward to a depth of (-)-7-8 ft NAVD88 on a 1:20
slope. A 20-ft wide dune with a crest elevation of +10.0 ft NAVD will be restored fronting the properties on west beach that
installed sandbags this year (6623, 6621, 6617, and 6615, West Beach Drive, Oak Island, NC).
Reach 1 extends from approximately the 6900 block of West Beach Drive to approximately 6000 block (2,900 feet). Along
this reach of shoreline, the project will contain -13 - 88 cubic yards (avg = 50) per linear foot (cy/ft) of beach fill, with a berm
width initially placed 20-95 feet (ft) wide (see attached drawings). A taper section -250 ft long will tie the main fill into the
natural shoreline at the ends of each reach. Lengths and volumes include the planned taper sections.
Reach 2 extends from approximately the 5700 block of West Beach Drive to approximately 5100 block (1,500 feet). Along
this reach of shoreline, the project will contain -25 - 35 cy/ft (drawing sections shown at worst case areas but avg = 25) of
beach fill, with a berm width initially placed 20-40 ft wide (see attached drawings). A taper section -250 ft long will tie the
main fill into the natural shoreline at the ends of each reach.
Sediment characteristics for the borrow area from recent borings are summarized in the narrative. Material placed on the
beach will be consistent with NCDCM sediment compatibility standards and will be visually monitored for sediment quality.
The Project would restore storm protection volumes and elevations and reduce potential storm damage to the sub -aerial
beach, protective berm, adjacent infrastructure, and coastal structures within the Project footprint. Once completed, public,
private, and commercial uses would continue including sunbathing, walking, wading, shelling, fossiling, fishing, etc.
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 proposed dredging of the navigation channel will be performed by a hydraulic cutter head dredge and conveyed to the
beach nourishment and upland disposal area via pipeline. The beach compatible material will be placed along the shoreline
as illustrated in the permit drawings. Only the profile above high water is controllable in beach nourishment construction;
intertidal and underwater portions of the profile will be subject to natural adjustment by waves.
Work will progress in sections within the proposed navigation channel from west to east and along the beach. The pumping
rate and construction duration will depend on the size of the dredge and pipeline used by the Contractor and duration may be
expected to be between 30 to 60 days.
Construction activities will involve movement of heavy equipment and pipe along the beaches. Once a section is complete,
piping and heavy equipment will be shifted to a new section and the process repeated. As soon as practicable, sections will
be graded and dressed to final slopes. Other than at temporary equipment staging areas, residents and visitors along the
project area will not experience significant disruption to recreational activities except within the immediate construction area.
Land -based equipment will be brought to the site over public roads and will enter the beach at existing beach access at the
western end of the island. Existing dunes and vegetation on the beach will be avoided and preserved; however, any
alteration of dune vegetation/topography necessary for equipment access will be repaired to pre -project conditions. Daily
equipment staging will be on the constructed beach seaward of the dune line. Construction contracts will provide for proper
storage and disposal of oils, chemicals, and hydraulic fluids (etc.) necessary for operation in accordance with state and
federal regulations.

The proposed project involves dredging and placement of 201,800 cy of beach -quality sand. Based on the project
experiences and communication with potential contractors the proposed dredge may range in size from 16 to 24 inch
hydraulic dredges. Production rates will depend on the size of plant used and may range from 3,200 cy/day (16 in) to 7,000
cy/day ( up to 10,000 cy/day) if the 24 in dredge were used. The average production per day varies widely according to
transportation distance and specifications of the project. It is anticipated the proposed construction will be accomplished in
approximately one to two months. The project is planned to bid out in mid December with construction start in mid February.
Given the current schedule, a request will be made to extend the routinely approved environmental window (November 16
through March 31) by an additional month (to April 29th 2015) to ensure adequate time and provide an additional buffer due

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
The Brunswick County Board of Commissioners and the United States Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE), Wilmington District have been considering and planning the Lower
Lockwoods Folly River Habitat Restoration Project for over 30 years (Figure 1). The overall
goals of the restoration project are to:
(1) Maintain the economic viability of tourism, the largest industry of Brunswick County (the
County) and the Town of Oak Island (the Town), and
(2) Preserve the environmental, cultural, and aquatic resources of the County and the Town by
providing improved navigation and water quality within the Eastern Channel while beneficially
using the dredged material (specifically to protect vulnerable infrastructure) to the maximum
extent practicable.
In 2009, the Brunswick County Board of Commissioners in collaboration with the Southeast
Brunswick Conservancy conducted a feasibility study focused on the need for navigation
improvements and the secondary environmental benefit of improved flushing within the
Lockwoods Folly River habitat. The portion of Eastern Channel which leads from Lockwoods
Folly Inlet to Montgomery Slough and the Davis Canal have both shoaled over time, altering the
estuarine hydrodynamics and the aquatic habitat of tidal creeks at the southern extent of the
Lockwoods Folly River. As evidenced in historical photographs dating back to 1938, there has
been periodic formation of marginal channels bisecting the flood shoal at Lockwoods Folly Inlet
and continuous sedimentation and migration of those channels (see Appendix A — Pre -
Application Agency Meeting Minutes).
The Lower Lockwoods Folly River Habitat Restoration Project, as envisioned by the County,
consists of two phases to improve the flushing and circulation in the lower Lockwoods Folly
River and to improve navigation in the Eastern Channel. Phase 1 includes improvement of
navigation of Eastern Channel via dredging and the beneficial use of beach -compatible dredged
material to nourish the western oceanfront shoreline of Oak Island to the maximum extent
feasible (Figure 2). Nonbeach-compatible material will be placed within an existing confined
disposal area on Sheep Island (Figure 2). Phase 2 includes improved flushing of the Galloway
Flats area. The project will be similar to the Section 206 project proposed by the USACE and
described in the Section 206 Preliminary Restoration Plan (July 2003). This USACE plan
sought funding in that year; however, Congress did not provide funding for environmental
projects.

including the USACE's Section 404 authorization. Existing information for the proposed project
area is contained within several ongoing studies and previously issued USACE General
Revaluation Report and Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Brunswick County
Beaches, Coastal Storm Damage Reduction Project. General Permit #s 63904-63907 were
issued for approximately 250 linear feet of sandbags protecting four (4) homes on 21 May 2014.
These same property owners applied for a major permit to install more sandbags in excess of
the 6-ft height and 20-ft base width allowable under current rules (personal communication,
Heather Coats, NCDCM, 17 November 2014).
As the Project Area is adjacent to Lockwoods Folly Inlet, project authorization at Lockwoods
Folly Inlet consists of a 12 feet (ft) deep (MLW — 15 ft deep NAVD) by 150 ft wide channel from
the deep water of the Atlantic Ocean to the intersection of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway
(AIWW) and a channel 6 ft deep by 100 ft wide from the intersection of the AIWW, extending
north within the banks of the Lockwoods Folly River and terminating at the NC State Highway
211 bridge. The USACE Wilmington District currently conducts maintenance dredging of the
inlet to 8 ft MLW within the outer part of the channel.
For this project, the USACE and NCDCM are acting as cooperating agencies in the analyses
required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). These federal permitting actions
trigger the development of Biological and Essential Fish Habitat Assessments. These
supplemental documents will be used by the USACE for consultation purposes with the United
States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS).
1.3 Purpose and Need
The purpose and need for the restoration project is driven by (1) commercial and recreational
navigation requirements, (2) estuarine and riverine water quality degradation, and (3) coastal
oceanfront erosion, which is currently rendering infrastructure vulnerable and causing habitat
loss for sea turtle nesting.
Currently, navigation of Eastern Channel (a natural channel) is limited to high tides, and many
areas within the channel have severely shoaled to -4' to -6' North American Vertical Datum
(NAVD) which is equivalent to -1' to -3' MLW. The connection of Eastern Channel at
Lockwoods Folly Inlet is currently closed due to the migration of a large sand shoal/spit. Phase
1 will create a new 100-ft wide channel connecting Eastern Channel to Lockwoods Folly Inlet,
which will allow the safe navigation of commercial and recreational vessels (Figure 2). A
shallow channel has recently formed in the proposed dredge area and is visible in the February
2014 aerial photograph (Figure 3). This channel location has been observed in many historical
aerial photographs as well (Appendix A). The flood shoal experiences heavy recreational use
by boaters for congregating and swimming.
Water quality has long been a concern of the Town. Nutrient and fecal levels have spiked in
Davis Creek, a tributary of Eastern Channel. Eastern Channel itself is designated as impaired
waters and has a surface water classification SA/HQW (Town of Oak Island, 2009 CAMA Land
Use Plan Update). The Town has recently invested over $177 million in a sewer system to limit
further water quality degradation into receiving waters. As documented by the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ), fecal coliform data between 2008 and 2010 at the Davis
Canal Monitoring Station was above state standards for shellfish and swimming uses.

Improvements to navigation in Eastern Channel will result in additional tidal flushing, which will
improve water quality conditions.
Loss of property is another concern of the Town of Oak Island. A number of homes along the
west end of Oak Island are now vulnerable to damage. The 2013-2014 winter storms and
subsequent erosion have necessitated the installation of sandbags to prevent loss of these
homes (Photograph 1). A series of escarpments (6- to 8-ft-high) have formed along this reach
of shoreline and limit sea turtle nesting (Photograph 2).
The NCDCM permitted approximately 250 linear feet of sandbags protecting four (4) homes on
21 May 2014 (personal communication, Heather Coats, NCDCM, 17 November 2014). The four
(4) property owners applied for a major permit to install additional sandbags in excess of the 6-ft
height and 20-ft base width allowable under current rules. The Coastal Resources Commission
(CRC) granted a variance request on 19 November 2014. Homeowners will construct sandbag
protection with a maximum base width of 30-feet. Homeowners will be allowed to maintain the
bags at the height of the erosion escarpment since additional sand loss on the beach after the
installation caused the sandbags to drop approximately 6 — 8 feet below the escarpment behind
the bags (personal communication, Heather Coats, NCDCM, 24 November 2014).

In summary, Phase 1 will accomplish the following:
Dredging Eastern Channel will yield approximately 201,800 cubic yards (cy) of beach -
compatible material that will be placed on the western beaches of Oak Island (Figures 2 and 3)
to protect existing infrastructure and provide suitable turtle nesting habitat.
Restore estuarine habitat surrounding the Eastern Channel of the Lockwoods Folly River
and improve water quality conditions within the Montgomery Slough (currently listed as
an impaired water body) (CAMA Land Use Plan 2009);
Provide a safe channel for both commercial and recreational navigation for shallow draft
vessels; and
Provide protection of infrastructure on the western oceanfront shoreline of Oak Island
while maintaining tax revenues to the Town, County, and state.

2.0 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED ACTION
2.1 Project Design
As a basis of design for the proposed navigation channel, Moffatt & Nichol: (a) reviewed
historical data and prior investigations to qualitatively assess historical sedimentation patterns
and channel stability, (b) sized the channel cross-section using empirical methods, and (c)
quantified the expected shoaling rates and patterns using empirical methods and review of
model investigations by others.
2.1.1 Historical Sedimentation Patterns
As documented by prior investigation [Coastal Science and Engineering (CSE) 2009] and
illustrated in the aerial photographs from 1938 to 2014, there has been episodic formation and
subsequent shoaling of bisecting channels through the flood shoal at Lockwoods Folly Inlet and
the ebb shoal of Eastern Channel (Appendix A). Historically, there has been significant
migration and periodic closing of the Eastern Channel. The presence, size, and orientation of
the channels have varied significantly from a channel parallel and adjacent to the backside of
Oak Island, through the flood shoal in the proposed location to parallel to Sheep Island. In
1978, a pilot channel was dredged parallel to Sheep Island; within five years the channel had
migrated south and by 1986 it followed an alignment similar to that which is currently proposed.
The Eastern Channel shifted to an east — west orientation parallel to the backside of Oak Island
by 1996. From 1996 to 2013, the Eastern Channel followed that orientation with periodic
shoaling and channel closure.
Within the past year, as illustrated in the 2014 aerial photograph (Figure 3), a spit has formed
from Oak Island parallel to the Shallotte Inlet channel, effectively closing the Eastern Channel
(orientation due west). The proposed channel dredging alignment follows the recently formed
shallow channel as described above.
The proposed action consists of dredging a new channel within Eastern Channel and placing
compatible dredged material on the beach at the west end of Oak Island while placing non -
compatible material in the upland disposal area on Sheep Island. A total of approximately
229,000 cy of material will be excavated including approximately 201,800 cy of beach -
compatible material for Oak Island and 27,200 cy non -compatible material for Sheep Island.
Excavations would be made by cutterhead pipeline dredge and material would be pumped via
pipeline to the beach or upland disposal area (see details of the pipeline in Appendix B —
Pipeline Drawing). The pipeline is located 22-feet west of the centerline of 57`" West Beach Dr.
Public Works Director, John Michaux, will provide guidance to exact location to agencies
(personal communication, John Michaux, Town of Oak Island, 17 November 2014). A letter of
consent for the disposal of non -compatible material into Sheep Island (Disposal Area #286 was
received from the NC State Property Office 4 December 2014. A copy of the letter is provided
in the CAMA Major Permit Application package.
Sediment would be distributed via land -based equipment and shaped into a recreational beach
between the existing toe of the foredune and the low watermark. The beach fill will impact a
total of 22.4 acres of intertidal and dry beach area.

There will be two fill reaches on Oak Island as identified in Table 1 and illustrated in Figures 4,
5, and 6. Additional detailed permit drawings are provided in Appendix C. Anficipating an
approximate 10% reduction of volume of material (between what is dredged and ultimately
placed on the beach), a total of 181,600 cy of material is planned to be placed on the beach.
The beach will include a flat berm at elevation +7.0 ft NAVD88 (based on a review of numerous
years of profile data for the existing berm elevation), extending seaward to a depth of
approximately -7-8 ft NAVD88 on a 1:20 slope. A 20-ft-wide dune with a crest elevation of
+10.0 ft NAVD will be restored fronting the west beach properties that installed sandbags this
year (6623, 6621, 6617, and 6615 West Beach Drive, Oak Island, NC) (General Permits 63904-
63907).
Reach 1 extends from approximately the 6900 block of West Beach Drive to approximately the
6000 block (2,900 ft) (Figures 4 and 5). Along this reach of shoreline, the project will contain
-13 to 88 cy [average (avg) = 50] per linear ft of beach fill with a berm width initially placed at 20
to 95 ft. A -250-ft long taper section will tie the main fill into the natural shoreline at the ends of
each reach. Lengths and volumes include the planned taper sections.
Reach 2 extends from approximately the 5700 block of West Beach Drive to approximately the
5100 block (1,500 ft) (Figure 6). Along this reach of shoreline, the project will contain -25 to 35
cy/ft (avg = 25) of beach fill with a berm width initially placed 20 to 40 ft. A -250-ft long taper
section will tie the main fill into the natural shoreline at the ends of each reach.
Sediment characteristics for the borrow area from recent borings are summarized below in
Section 2.4. Material placed on the beach will be consistent with the NCDCM sediment
compatibility standards (15A NCAC 07H .0312) and will be continuously visually monitored for
sediment quality during construction and immediately after.

2.1.2 Basis of Design of the Proposed Channel
CSE (2009) conducted field measurements of tidal water levels, discharges, and current speeds
at selected locations in the Lockwood's Folly inlet system, including the main inlet channel, the
Eastern Channel, and in the AIWW. From these measurements, they reported the Eastern
Channel maximum flood current velocity to be 2.3 ft/second (sec) and the maximum ebb current
velocity to be 3.3 ft/sec. CSE (2009) reported the Lockwood's Follow inlet flood tidal prism at
475 million cubic feet, with approximately 77.6 million cubic feet tidal prism assigned to the
Eastern Channel.
If the Eastern Channel is considered as a tidal inlet, the equilibrium cross -sectional channel
area (Ac) can be calculated for the reported tidal prism (P) using empirical relationships. The
empirical relationship determined by Jarrett (1976) for Atlantic Coast inlets is:
Ac _ (7.75 x 10$) pi.05
For the Eastern Channel's reported tidal prism of 77.6 million cubic feet, the corresponding Ac =
1,492 square feet. Using O'Brien's (1966) empirical calculations for the all inlets (including
those with jetties), the corresponding Ac = 2,000 square feet.
Currently near the west end of the Eastern Channel adjacent to Lockwood Folly Inlet, the
channel has shoaled in, with an existing cross -sectional area of 250 — 400 square feet. The
proposed channel cross -sectional area is 2,150 square feet. Along the reach of the main
channel south of Sheep Island, the average cross -sectional area is currently 850 square feet
with a proposed cross -sectional area of approximately 1,750 square feet.
The proposed channel is designed at the entrance (from Station 0+00 to station 18+00) to be
cut to -15 ft NAVD with a base width of 100 ft and side slopes of 3:1 (H:V). The proposed
channel cross-section will narrow to 75 ft at station 25+00 and maintain this width to station
40+00; the channel base width is proposed to be 40ft at station 41+00 eastward. The proposed
base elevation and depth varies as illustrated in the permit drawings with a more shallow
channel (-9 ft NAVD) proposed east of station 50+75 where dredged material will be transported
to the upland disposal site.
2.1.3 Predicted Performance
In support of the proposed Holden Beach East End Shore Protection Project, Applied
Management and Technology (ATM) (2013) developed and applied a hydrodynamic and
sediment model to evaluate alternative scenarios for managing the Lockwood Folly Inlet system.
An alternative simulating the dredging of Eastern Channel was presented with a northwest
orientation parallel to Sheep Island. Based on the modeling, it was concluded that the relocated
Eastern Channel would maintain its depth, the increased tidal prism may allow for improved
water quality and it will not have a significant effect on the adjacent shorelines. The model also
illustrated what practically would be expected that if the proposed Eastern Channel was
dredged parallel and adjacent to the backside of Oak Island (east - west) it would shoal much
more quickly than if it were oriented to the northwest.

Moffatt & Nichol employed an empirical method developed by Eysink (1983) to estimate the
sedimentation rate for the proposed channel. Following the Eysink method, sedimentation rate
is a function of the rate of tidal exchange, settling time, sediment concentration and fall velocity.
Tidal exchange is estimated as a function of the tidal prism, horizontal eddies from discharge
and density driven currents. Employing this method, the mouth of the channel (station 0+00 to
25+00) is expected to shoal in within 1 to 4 years; further to the east of station 25+00, the
proposed channel is estimated to shoal within 3 to 6 years.
The proposed channel is not anticipated to have significant effects on the shoaling patterns
within Lockwood Folly Inlet.
2.2 Methods of Construction
The proposed dredging of Eastern Channel will be performed by a cutterhead pipeline dredge
and conveyed to the beach placement areas via pipeline (Figures 7 and 8). It is expected that
the contractor will use floating pipeline that will daylight onto the beach for the western sections
of placement. For the eastern areas, the Town has an existing easement and a 24- inch (in)
reinforced concrete pipeline existing within the Town's easement (Appendix B) which crosses
underneath the beach road near the marina. It is expected that this corridor will be used for the
pipeline placement for the eastern sections of the project. The beach -compatible material will
be placed along the shoreline as illustrated in the permit drawings (see Appendix C). Only the
profile above high water is controllable in beach nourishment construction; intertidal and
underwater portions of the profile will be subject to natural adjustment by waves (Figure 9).
Construction will progress in sections within the proposed dredging area and along the beach
from west to east (Figure 2). The pumping rate and construction duration will depend on the
size of the dredge and pipeline used by the dredging, but is expected to be between 30 and 60
days.
Incompatible material will be placed in Sheep Island last (Figures 10 and 11). Sheep Island has
a capacity of approximately 40,000 cy. The proposed dredge material (27,200 cy) will be
graded such that a minimum of 1 ft will be maintained between the crest of the existing dike and
the proposed fill adjacent to the dike. It should be noted that the crest elevation around the
perimeter of the disposal area varies; around the perimeter the crest is typically 22 ft NAVD to
24 ft NAVD, with the exception of the vicinity of the outlet structure. Near the outlet structure,
the crest elevation is approximately 20 ft NAVD along length of approximately 50 linear feet of
the dike rising up to 21 ft NAVD over a length of approximately 275 linear feet. The crest
elevation of the dike could be raised to a minimum of 22 ft NAVD in order to increase the
capacity of the disposal area to 40,000 cy (at El 21 ft NAVD88).
A letter of consent from the NC State Property Office was provided 4 December 2014 and is
included in the CAMA Major Permit application package. Photographs 3 and 4 below depict the
water control structure and pipe location within the spoil site.
Construction activities will involve movement of heavy equipment and pipe along the beaches.
Once a section is complete, piping and heavy equipment will be shifted to a new section and the
process repeated. As soon as practicable, sections will be graded and dressed to final slopes
(Figure 9). Other than at temporary equipment staging areas and within the immediate.

construction area, residents and visitors in the Project Area will not experience
significant disruption to recreational activities.
Land -based equipment will be brought to the site over public roads and will enter the
beach at existing beach access points along the western end of Oak Island. Existing
dunes and vegetation on the beach will be avoided and preserved; however, any
alteration of dune vegetation/topography necessary for equipment access will be
repaired to pre -project conditions. Daily equipment staging will be located on the
constructed beach seaward of the dune line. Construction contracts will provide for
proper storage and disposal of oils, chemicals, and hydraulic fluids necessary for
operation in accordance with state and federal regulations.
The proposed activities may produce temporary and localized turbidity increases which
are normally associated with hydraulic cutterhead dredging and standard beach
nourishment operations. The effect of turbidity levels in the borrow area is expected to
fall within the natural range of background conditions (25 NTU).
2.3 Construction Schedule
The proposed project involves dredging and placement of 201,800 cy of beach -quality
sand. Based on the experience of and communication with potential contractors, the
proposed dredge may range in size from 16- to 24-in hydraulic dredges. Production
rates will depend on the size of plant used and may range from 3,200 cy/day (16 in) to
7,000 cy/day (up to 10,000 cy/day) if the 24-in dredge is used. The average production
per day varies widely according to transportation distance and specifications of the
project. It is anticipated that the proposed construction will be completed within two
months. Project sponsors will request project bids in mid -December 2014 with
construction to start in mid -February 2015. Given the current schedule, a request will be
made to extend the routinely approved environmental dredging/construction window
(November 16 through March 31) by an additional month (to 30 April) to ensure
adequate time and provide an additional buffer due to any unforeseen events.
As per the USACE — Wilmington District Maintenance Dredging Specifications for the
AIWW, Bogue Inlet Crossing to Shallotte Inlet Crossing (2013) an environmental window
of 16 November to 30 April applies to the disposal of dredged material, the movement of
equipment, including pipe relocation, pipe stockpiling, and pipe removal, and all
escarpment leveling, final grading, etc on all oceanfront beaches. This window protects
nesting and hatchling sea turtles.

2.4 Sediment Compatibility
2.4.1 Native Beach Sediment
The native sediment distribution for Oak Island was defined based on the percent gravel,
granular sediment, sand, fine-grained sediment, and calcium carbonate present in
samples taken from 13 locations along a specific transact (Figure 12). These 13
samples were then averaged to obtain a composite average for that transact. Five
transacts were sampled along the western shoreline of Oak Island where sand
placement is proposed (Figure 12). The composite average for each of the five
transacts were then averaged to obtain an overall average for the native beach. A
summary of the distribution and statistics for the native sediment is provided in Tables 2
and 3.
The native material is characterized as well -sorted fine sand under the American Society
for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Unified Soil Classification System with a mean grain
size of 0.28 millimeter (mm).
In addition, an assessment of the total number of sediments and shell material greater
than 3 inches between the frontal dune and Mean Low Water (MLW) was completed on
18 November 2014 based on requirements of 15A NCAC 07H.0312 One area (300' x
90'=27,000 square feet) was reviewed in Reach 1 (Figures 4 and 5) with the number of
sediments greater than 3 inches being 27. Within Reach 2, a single area was delineated
(300' x 90'=27,000 square feet) and the number of sediments/shells greater than 3
inches was 10 (Figure 6). The equivalent number of sediments/shells greater than 3
inches 50,000 square feet for Reach 1 and Reach 2 would be 50 and 18 respectively.
2.4.2 Proposed Dredged Sediment
Athena Technologies Inc. collected a total of 22 vibracores for the geotechnical pre -
dredge sediment assessment (Figure 13) (Appendix D). A total of 16 vibracores were
sampled within the proposed dredging area in Eastern Channel. Findings from analyses
of these samples were used to determine the quantity of beach -compatible and
incompatible material for the proposed dredge design depths [based on tidal prism
stability analyses (CSE 2009)]. Based on the available data, the material west of Station
50+75 (Figure 4) was determined to be beach -compatible sand (vibracores 18, 17, 12,
11, 10, 9, 8, 22, and 7). The material east of Station 50+75 (vibracores 21, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2,
and 1) was predominantly composed of silt and clay, which are not beach compatible.
Sediment characteristics for the vibracores west of Station 50+75 and east of Station
50+75 are provided in Table 4 and Table 5, respectively. Sediment statistics for the
vibracores west of Station 50+75 and east of Station 50+75 are provided in Table 6 and
Table 7, respectively. While a couple of the vibracores have gravel that are individually
out of compliance (within 1% rounding — shown in red in the tables), the overall average
is well within compliance (see Tables 8 and 9).

Note that the bottom foot of vibracore EC-14-09 (from elevation -14 ft NAVD 88 to -15 ft
NAVD 88) was 'lost" as noted by the contractor performing the work (Athena
Technologies); the material was predominantly shell hash. The material recovered at
the borings adjacent to EC-14-09 was used as basis for characterization of the range of
sediment characteristics that may be reasonably anticipated. Samples from the
comparable elevation (-14 ft NAVD 88 to -15 ft NAVD 88) is characterized as fine and
medium sands at vibracores EC-14-08 and EC-14-10, respectively.
Table Sables 8 and 9 provide a comparison of the composite of the proposed fill to that
of the native sediment. The proposed fill composite has a median grain size of 0.31 mm,
which is slightly larger than the native grain size of 0.27 mm. The proposed material is
poorly sorted fine sand with a slightly higher percentage of gravel and shell hash than
that of the native composite but well within state standards.
2.5 Alternative Designs and Analysis
Prior to choosing the preferred dredge location as described in the previous sections,
three options for the mouth of the Eastern Channel were considered and discussed in
detail with stakeholders 28 August 2014 during the pre -application agency meeting
(Figure 14) (Appendix A). An updated summary of findings memo describing the
preferred alternative was distributed by Moffatt & Nichol via email 24 October 2014 to
stakeholders (Appendix F).
Dredging Option 1 (adjacent to Sheep Island) includes a channel alignment towards the
north (AIWW) and involves dredging approximately 204,100 cy of compatible sand for
beach placement and approximately 34,000 cy of noncompatible material to be placed in
the confined disposal area on Sheep Island.
Dredging Option 2 (preferred option - through the inlet flood shoal) includes a channel
alignment towards the northwest and involves dredging approximately 201,800 cy of
compatible sand for beach placement and approximately 27,200 cy of noncompatible
material to be placed in the confined disposal area on Sheep Island.
Dredging Option 3 (parallel and adjacent to the north shore of Oak Island) includes a
channel alignment due west and involves dredging approximately 164,000 cy of
compatible sand for beach placement and approximately 34,000 cy of noncompatible
material to be placed in the confined disposal area on Sheep Island.
All channel options are proposed to be dredged approximately 50 to 100 ft-wide with an
average depth of dredging ranging from 3 to 11 ft on a 3:1 slope. Option 1 was
determined to be the least desirable since it was well out of compliance for percent fines
and just barely out of compliance for percent gravel (within 1 percent). The material
(median d = 0.25 mm) was slightly finer than that of the native material (median d = 0.27
mm). Option 2 was determined to be the next best alternative with only two individual
vibracores just barely out of compliance with gravel (within 1 percent) and the average of

all vibracores within compliance. The material (composite median d = 0.35 mm) was generally
coarser than the native sand (median d = 0.27 mm). Option 3 was the best option from a beach
compatibility perspective with all individual vibracores being in compliance. The material
(composite median d = 0.33 mm) was slightly coarser than the native sand (median d = 0.27
mm). However, this option was also the most likely to shoal given its vicinity to the inlet and
past geomorphological behavior.
Based on both the sediment compatibility analyses and consideration of long-term channel
stability, it was recommended that the Town proceed with design and permitting following the
proposed alignment described for Option 2. This option should provide improved channel
stability as compared to Option 3 while providing more consistent beach -compatible material
than Option 1. Therefore, Option 2 is the only option considered in this Major Permit
Application.

4.0 PROPOSED CONSERVATION MEASURES
The timing of construction activities was specifically scheduled to occur outside of the sea turtle
nesting season, the West Indian manatee summer occurrence in North Carolina, the piping
plover (and other shorebirds) migratory and breeding seasons, and for the most part the
seabeach amaranth flowering period. Also, sand placement and dredge operation conducted
outside of primary invertebrate production and recruitment periods (spring and fall) limit effects
to amphipods, polychaetes, crabs and clams.
Proposed conservation measures resulting in avoidance and minimization of potential effects
from dredge fleet activities are bulleted below.
• Seasonal environmental dredging/nourishment window (mid -February through 30 April)
would be a contract stipulation ensuring potential terrestrial, estuarine, and marine
biological process effects are minimized.
• Survey/dive efforts assessing SAV within the Project area have been evaluated and the
dredging footprint and transport route are absent of SAV resources.
• Dredging and placement areas would be documented by Global Positioning Systems
(GPS) units ensuring sand resources are within authorized areas.
• Associated dredging vessel speed restrictions <11.5 miles per hour would be employed
reducing potential collision effects with managed or associated species (Northern Right
Whale) as well as recreational vessels.
• Directional, shielding, and intensity managed lighting would be employed minimizing
potential nocturnal marine species' effects, while meeting Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) vessel work standards.
• Contract language will require routine inspection of dredging equipment and transport
piping to minimize potential leaks at the dredge plant and along transport corridors.
• Contract language will require water pollution control and spill response and waste
management plans for all dredging fleet equipment.

• Contract language will require proposed work be performed in accordance with U.S.
Coast Guard regulations.
Proposed conservation measures resulting in avoidance and minimization of potential effects
from recipient beach activities are bulleted below:
• All beach equipment (bulldozers, frontend loaders, pickups, etc) would access current
public access areas, no new access cuts would be allowed.
• Existing vegetated dune fields would not be disturbed and equipment/personnel would
not be allowed within these dune line buffers.
• Contract language would require equipment refueling locations within designated
equipment staging areas away from the active work zone if practicable.
• Contract language would require designated contract spill response capabilities.
• If available, staging areas for construction equipment would be located off the beach.
• Construction equipment, not in nighttime use, would be stored off the beach, if
practicable, minimizing potential effects on nocturnally active species.
• Diffusion plates would be a contract stipulation reducing effluent discharge velocities
with directional sand -slurry placement.
• Temporary slurry diversion training walls would be pushed up from existing and received
material extending and directing the sandy effluent's horizontal flow maximizing
sediment retention and minimizing potential swash zone turbidity effects.
• Visual monitoring would be required during all sand slurry discharging operations with
"shut down" and agency notification authorization in the event unsuitable material is
encountered.
• Directional, shielding, and intensity managed lighting will be employed minimizing
potential nocturnal species' effects, while meeting OSHA work standards.
• Contract language would require routine inspection of slurry transport piping minimizing
potential pressurized leaks along the beachfront.

• Heavy equipment would be removed from refurbished shorelines as soon as practicable
restoring unrestricted public access.
Summary of Potential Effects
The proposed Project would adhere to above conservation measures, sand quality and
proposed construction scheduling. Sand compatibility, seasonal dredging/renourishment
windows, good engineering/best management practices, and conservation measures would
offset potential direct, indirect, and cumulative effects on protected species potentially found
within the proposed Project Area (Appendix E - Draft Biological Assessment).
Of the 21 federally listed or proposed species with known or potential occurrence in this portion
of Brunswick County, 12 were considered in the Biological Assessment based on evaluations of
potential occurrence in the Project Area. Potential direct and indirect impacts from the proposed
dredging and sand placement activities were assessed for each species as were measures to
minimize these impacts. The proposed construction activities were determined to have no
effect on the shortnose and Atlantic sturgeon, West Indian manatee and the wood stork since
these species are expected to have a low or no occurrence in the Project Area during the
construction activities (mid -February through April 30). Proposed construction activities may
affect, but are not likely to adversely affect, the following species: piping plover, red knot,
seabeach amaranth, leatherback turtle, loggerhead turtle, green turtle, Kemp's ridley turtle and
hawksbill turtle. Impacts of the proposed activities on critical habitat designated within the
Project Area were also assessed. Proposed sand placement activities may affect, but are not
likely to adversely affect, piping plover critical habitat (NC -16 unit) or loggerhead critical habitat
(LOGG-T-NC-07 and LOGG-N-5). Proposed dredging activities were determined to have no
effect on these loggerhead critical habitat units.
To minimize direct and indirect impacts of the proposed actions on species and critical habitats,
the proposed project will adhere to the USFWS's two most important conservation measures:
monitoring sand compatibility and scheduling construction to avoid sensitive environmental
windows. Sand compatibility, seasonal dredging/nourishment windows, best management
practices and conservation measures will offset potential direct and indirect effects on protected
species and critical habitats in the Project Area.
Shell bottom, SAV, and tidal marsh habitats; along with state -designated nursery areas, were
avoided during project design and do not occur within the proposed channel dredging footprint
(Appendix G - Draft Essential Fish Habitat Assessment). Dredging is anticipated to directly
impact -6.3 acres of intertidal non -vegetated flats and -16.3 acres of shallow subtidal soft
bottom habitat in the Eastern Channel. Temporary losses of intertidal and subtidal soft bottom
habitats and associated benthic invertebrate communities are anticipated to have minor short-
term adverse effects on federally managed fisheries; including Peneaid shrimp and red drum.
Sediment suspension and associated increases in turbidity during the dredging process are
anticipated to have short-term, localized adverse effects on water quality and estuarine habitats
and communities. However, improved tidal circulation and flushing is anticipated to have long-
term net beneficial effects on water quality, habitats, and communities; including state -
designated Primary and Secondary Nursery Areas. Beach fill placement along the Oak Island

west end oceanfront beach is anticipated to directly impact -9 acres of intertidal beach habitat
and -16 acres of nearshore subtidal soft bottom habitat. Temporary losses of intertidal and
subtidal habitats and associated benthic invertebrate communities are anticipated to have minor
short-term adverse effects on federally managed fisheries.
5.0 COMPLIANCE WITH BRUNSWICK COUNTY AND CAMA LAND USE PLAN
The proposed Project is consistent with the approved CAMA Land Use Plans for Brunswick
County and the Town of Oak Island. The project property is within the planning jurisdiction of
Brunswick County and the Town of Oak Island and is classified "Developed" by the CAMA Land
Use Plan.
6.0 COMPLIANCE WITH THE N.C. ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT
The NCDCM has determined that review of this project under SEPA is not required.
The NCDWQ in Wilmington will be provided a full copy of the NCDCM permit application
describing the scope of the project and requesting a 401 Water Quality Certification.
7.0 CONSTRUCTION EASEMENTS
The Town of Oak Island is acquiring the required easements (approximately 86 lots) to
construct the proposed project. The easements will allow all work necessary to nourish the
beach. However, the Town of Oak Island cannot damage permanent improvements in the
easement area but must work with property owners to remove and replace permanent
improvements in the easement area that obstruct nourishment.

Dear Mr. Foster:
Through the pre -construction meeting held on 28 February, 2015 at the Oak Island Town
Hall, we learned of your request to modify the work associated with your Department of the
Army (DA) permit issued on February 17, 2015, which authorized dredging approximately
229,000 cubic yards (cy) of material from the Eastern Channel and placement of 201,801 cy of
beach quality material along two stretches of beach on Oak Island (see maps for detail).
Approximately 27,000 cy of non -compatible material will be placed on Horse Island (DA 0284)
Island. The beach placement will be conducted on the west end of Oak Island, Brunswick
County, North Carolina.
The requested modifications include the removal of the easternmost beach disposal area
shown on sheet 5 of the submitted/permitted plans (Disposal Reach 2) and the revision of
Disposal Reach 1 to a western direction of —250 ft and beneficial reuse of 226, 575 cy of beach
compatible material. These changes are documented in the attached proposal received on 1
March, 2015.
Your proposal for modification has been reviewed and found to be consistent with the
provisions and objectives of the CAMA-Corps Programmatic Permit process (copy attached) for
construction activities that receive authorization from the State of North Carolina. Therefore, you
may commence construction activity in strict accordance with the previously applicable State
authorization, attached Federal special conditions, USFWS Biological Opinion Terms and
Conditions, and the approved plan. Failure to comply with the State authorization or conditions
of the Federal permit could result in civil and/or administrative penalties.
If any additional change in your work is required because of unforeseen or altered
conditions or for any other reason, plans revised to show the change must be sent promptly to
this office and the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management prior to performing any such
change or alteration. Such action is necessary as revised plans must be reviewed and the
authorization modified. Your Department of the Army permit will expire on December 31,
2016. RECEIVED

Modification Due To Changed Survey Conditions
Project Narrative
Permit Modification Due to Changed Survey Conditions for
Lockwoods Folly Habitat Restoration Project - Dredging of Eastern Channel
Project Narrative - Submitted March 1, 2015
This narrative documents the request for a permit modification for the Lockwoods Folly Habitat
Restoration Project - Dredging of Eastern Channel, prepared underthe direction of the Town of Oak Island.
The reasoning for the modification is that existing survey conditions have changed since July 2014 which
is when the surveys used for the permit applications were collected. Based on the new survey
information, the Town of Oak Island is asking for a permit modification to allow 1) up to 278,950 cy to be
dredged from Eastern Channel and 2) up to 226,575 cy of beach -compatible material to be placed on a
revised Reach 1 extent. The non -beach compatible portion of the project remains the same. The attached
permit drawings incorporate the new survey information collected Feb 23-26, 2015 and a design
refinement for the beach fill portion of the project. The dredging template (widths, depths and length)
remain unchanged from the approved permit conditions. Nonetheless, there has been additional
shoaling in the channel and the dredged volume to meet the previously approved template has increased
from 229,000 cy to 278,950 cy (increase of 49,950 cy) which is almost entirely contained within the first
1500 ft of the dredging corridor.
As for the beach fill portion of the project, there have also been changes in the existing conditions from
July 2014 until now. Additional erosion has occurred in Reach 1 (34,200 cy - similar in volume to the
increased shoaling discussed above) to the point that the nourishment for Reach 2 is now being dropped
from consideration. The tables below and attached drawings outline the proposed design revisions based
on the changed conditions. Please note that the Reach 1 length is only being extended ^220 ft further
westward and -30 ft further eastward from the previously approved plan but this extension is needed for
an adequate transition for the fill back to the current existing ground.

*Note: Numbers shown in red are increased from approved permit conditions — remaining values are
decreased.
As can be seen by the above tables, while the overall dredged and placed volumes are increasing due to
increased shoaling/erosion since the original surveys were completed in July 2014, nearly every other
measure of potential effect will be reduced with the placing of material just within Reach 1. The overall
beach fill length, total fill area, as well as fill areas and volumes below MHW and MLW will reduced. Given
the current dynamic nature of this area, it is also posited that a more concentrated volume placement
near the critically eroding area in Reach 1 will prolong the overall life of the project as well.
Another revision to the design is the fact that the fill template now does not include any dune
construction. This revision was made given DCM direction late last week that the fill can only be placed
up to the face of the recently installed sandbags. Sand cannot be placed on top of or behind the bags as
part of this publicly financed project. Parcel data show that the extreme western end of the project now
fronts land owned by the Town of Oak Island.
Given that the contractor is currently onsite and has planned to start work on Tuesday or Wednesday, it
is hoped that an email approval can be given quickly as stated in the meeting Friday so that the project
can commence as originally planned. Thanks is advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Johnny Martin

ATrOMON OF:
April 30, 2015
Regulatory Division
Action ID No. SAW-2014-02180 and State Permit No. 21-15
Mr. Steve Foster
Town of Oak Island
4601 East Oak Island Drive
Oak Island, NC 28465
Dear Mr. Foster:
Through the request submitted to this office on 20 March, 2015 (attached) we learned of
your request to modify the work associated with your Department of the Army (DA) permit
issued on 17 February, 2015, and modified on 2 March, 2015. As documented in the previously
approved permit modification, the Town of Oak Island was allowed up to 278,950 cy to be
dredged from Eastern Channel and up to 226,575 cy of beach -compatible material to be placed
on a revised Reach 1 extent, due to the increased shoaling within the channel. The non -beach
compatible portion of the project remains the same. As stated for the previously approved
permit modification, the dredging template (widths, depths and length) remain unchanged
from the approved permit conditions.
The current requested modification includes a revised timeline for completing the
proposed work and temporary placement of 7,000 cy of material to be placed above the mean
high water line by a separate entity under a different action not requiring a DA permit.
May 15tn, 2015 — Beach fill placement operations cease
May 20tn, 2015 — All equipment removed from beach
June 5tn, 2015 — Non -beach fill placement operations cease
June 10m, 2015 —All equipment removed from Horse Island
These timeline changes are documented in the attached proposal received on 20 March, 2015.
Your proposal for modification has been reviewed and found to be consistent with the
provisions and objectives of the CAMA-Corps Programmatic Permit process (copy attached) for
construction activities that receive authorization from the State of North Carolina. Therefore, you
may continue the construction activity in strict accordance with the previously applicable State
authorization, attached Federal special conditions, USFWS Biological Opinion Terms and
Conditions, and the approved plan. Failure to comply with the State authorization or conditions
of the Federal permit could result in civil and/or administrative penalties.
kCFIVED
MAY 0 4 2015
r,,ow MM9 CITY

If any additional change in your work is required because of unforeseen or altered
conditions or for any other reason, plans revised to show the change must be sent promptly to
this office and the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management prior to performing any such
change or alteration. Such action is necessary as revised plans must be reviewed and the
authorization modified. Your Department of the Army permit will expire on December 31,
2016.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Tyler Crumbley, Wilmington Field
Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone 910-251-4170.
Sincere
