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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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. 1601 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1601 Phone: 919-707$6001Internet: www.nedem.gov An Equal OppartuniryIAfPomaliveAcdon Erniko w-We In part by rm7ded paper /J 12/22/2014 09:53 ffA10 P.001/001 NcaENR North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Pat McCrory 3ovemor December 16, 2014 Division of Coastal Management MEMORANDUM: Town of Oak Island TO: Attn: D.

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.

Thanks. -Tyler 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.

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.

S. Army Corps of Engineers 69 Darlington Ave. Wilmington, NC 28403-1343 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 RECEIVED 1AN 2 0 PI; p,,piw'�uq PITY 2 f 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 JAN 2 0 2015 oorr--HFM PITY El 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 1AN 8 0 ' Nl-fy N" r-mr /} and comment.

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.

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. 91 Tillman Street ♦ Memphis, Tennessee 38111 Phone (901) 454-4733 ♦ Fax (901) 454-4736 www.r)anamconsultants.com B INUN5WICI: COIMIY �1� ON40N'UAY Po OTRTUATSOPPLYRO SIW101'IG y� VAPNA\11fIWN >pY SONi1PoRT SMSLTAFMII i�lAL1UTIE IIULO�E�L71 FOUYW0.t OAl LL4WU MET FOWTINL6T CASKt11.11PACll J^ MEAN 1112 PROPOSED & ¢y` n"'°s INLET InNa naT NOURISHMENTNT,, SEE KEY MAPS ON SHEET 2 uALnlunBlrLAnn ATLANTIC OCEAN O 2 A m 1 3 5 SCALE IN WlES Figure 1-01.

Project Area survey location map (courtesy of Dial Cordy and Associates, Inc.). 2 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).

Illustrated in Figure 2, the anomaly, labeled Anomaly M-008, has a gamma deviation of 74 gamma and a duration of 130 feet. The associated sonar contact, C007, is presented in Figure 3. It appears 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. 3 5 `• SeEppibm ' I 3 • SonaiContatla �' • MaBe•ticMomap ' 5 nT Magnetic Contours — Negaure — Povtive � — PoatpWTmWhes i —Dmdge Tempbta i pit Figure 4-07.

Sonar Contact 0007 is identified as a depression with an associated subbottom contact and magnetic anomaly M008. R showing the depression identified and presented above as Sonar Contact C000' as well as an object that appears as a parabolic return in the base of the depression. This return is thought to represent the object that is the source of Anomaly M008. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Page Two 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. Town of Oak Island, Lockwoods Folly River Habitat Restoration Project, c/o Steve Foster Page Three 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. Town of Oak Island, Lockwoods Folly River Habitat Restoration Project, c/o Steve Foster 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.

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.

November 2014 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.

Figure 2. Proposed Dredging and Sand Placement Areas - Phase 1 NCDCM Major Permit Application Phase 1 — Eastern Channel Dial Cordy and Associates Inc. November 2014 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.

Aerial Photograph Depicting Bisecting Channel through Shoal NCDCM Major Permit Application Phase 1 — Eastern Channel Dial Cordy and Associates Inc. November 2014 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.

Phase 1 — Eastern Channel November 2014 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. NCDCM Major Permit Application Phase 1 — Eastern Channel Dial Cordy and Associates Inc. RECEIVED November 2014 JAN 0 7 1015 DQM•MHD CITY 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.

Map of Reach 2 - Nourishment Plan NCDCM Major Permit Application Phase 1 - Eastern Channel 12 Dial Cordy and Associates Inc. November 2014 ,A 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. NCDCM Major Permit Application Phase 1 — Eastern Channel 13 RECEIVED Dial Cordy and Associates Inc. November 2014 JAN 0 7 20t DCM-MHD 0TV 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.

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. NCDCM Major Permit Application Phase 1 — Eastern Channel 21 RECEIVED JAN 0 7 2015 nr,Kn_�tin p,rs Dial Cordy and Associates Inc. November 2014 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).

November 2014 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 NCDCM Major Permit Application Phase 1 — Eastern Channel Dial Cordy and Associates Inc. RECEIVED November 2014 31 JAN 0 7 74b E5r,KA_neurs rife �j Figure 14. Eastern Channel Alignment Options 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. NCDCM Major Permit Application Phase 1 — Eastern Channel Dial Cordy and Associates Inc.

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. NCDCM Major Permit Application Phase 1 — Eastern Channel 34 Dial Cordy and Associates Inc. November 2014 RECEIVED JAN 0 7 2015 DCM-MHD CITY • 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 992 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.
