Activities and Impacts a. Will the project be for commercial, public, or private use? ❑Commercial ❑Public/Govemment ®Private/Community b. Give a brief description of purpose, use, and dally operations of the project when complete. The sand bag revetment will provide temporary erosion protection for 20 residential structures north of the Topsail Reef Condominiums and some flood protection to a portion of New River Inlet Road north of Port Drive. Flooding in this area is occurring during normal spring high tides due to wave over washing the beach (Photo No. 6 in the Attached Project Narrative). A vicinity map, general layout of the proposed sand bag structure, and a typical cross-section of the revetment is provided on Sheets 1 of 3 to 3 of 3 in the Attachments. 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. In order to achieve a design elevation of approximately +12 feet NAVD, the revetment will be built on top of the existing grade at the time of construction in a stacked configuration of sand bags. The material needed to fill the sand bags will be removed from the sand "spit" shown in Exhibit 1 in the Attachments and transported via dump trucks to designated locations where a hopper, or large container, will be stationed. This sand will be supplemented with material from an off - island borrow area as needed. The hopper and associated pumps and filling equipment will be stationed within the area to be disturbed as identified in Figure B on Sheet 2 of 3 in the Attachments. As the sand bags are filled the hopper and associated pumps used to create the slurry within the hopper will be moved. Multiple sand bags can be filled from one hopper location; however, it is anticipated that the hopper and pumps will need to be moved as the work progresses. The sand from the borrow site will be placed into the hopper. A pump will be used to draw water from the ocean and discharge it into the hopper. The sand/water "slurry" in the hopper will then be pumped into the sand bags. No open "pit" will be created as all of the pumping will be contained within the hopper and discharged into the sand bags. Prior to filling the bags, bulldozers and frontend loaders will be used to grade the area prior to placement of the sand bags and will maneuver the sand bags into position. All work will be performed above the NHW line. A temporary berm will be formed on the seaward side of the work area and will provide a buffer from wave action. The existing material within the footprint of where the sand bags will be placed will be used to create the berm. The temporary berm will also inhibit any direct discharge of water from the work area back into the ocean. The bulldozer will be on standby during sand bag placement and once the bags have been filled will be used to flatten out the temporary berm and final dress the area. d. List all development activities you propose. The single purpose of the project is to install the temporary sand bag revetment In the area fronting the 20 residential structures north of the Topsail Reef Condominiums. RECEIVED OCT 077nii DCM-MHD Clry RECEIVED JCM WILMINGTON, NC S F P 2 6 2014 e. Are the proposed activities maintenance of an existing project, new work, or both? New Work A total of 15 sandbag structures have been installed along the north end of North Topsail Beach north of Topsail Reef. Due to the erosion this area has experienced in recent years, only three of the 15 sandbag structures that have been installed are currently in place in front of existing residences. The remainder of the standard size sandbag structures permitted in this area (3-2-1 stacked structure) have either been removed or were installed at residential structures that were seaward of the current row of oceanfront homes and no longer exist. Although there have been sandbag structures installed in this area in the past, 17 of the 20 residences proposed to be protected by the emergency sand bag revelment do not have sandbag structures installed in front of them. The three remaining sandbag revetments, located at 2332, 2334, and 2368 New River Inlet Rd. (State Rd. 1568) have been buried and are not presently visible as discussed in the attached Project Narrative. f. What is the approximate total disturbed land area resulting from the proposed project? Approximately 8.6 The sand bag revetment would cover approximately 1,450 linear feet of ocean shoreline with ❑Sq.Ft or ®Acres a 50-toot wingwall or tieback on the north end (Sheet 2 of 3 in the Attachments). Installation will disturb an area about 60 feet wide resulting in a total disturbed area of approximately 2.2 acres. Construction activities landward of the sand bags, i.e. placement and filling of hopper between the existing residences and areas between residences and sand bags will disturb approximately 1.4 acres. Excavation of material from the sand spit on the north end of the island will disturb approximately 5.0 acres. The total disturbed area will be approximately 8.6 acres. g. Will the proposed project encroach on any public easement, public access way or other area ®Yes ❑No ❑NA that the public has established use of? The sand bag structure will cover the area from the front of the 20 residential structures and extend approximately 45 ft. seaward. This area is changing dramatically day to day but based on the most recent survey data, the landward portion of the structure would be constructed at an elevation ranging from 5.5 — 6.9 ft. NAVD; whereas the seaward edge would extend out to elevations ranging from 0.7 — 5.2 ft. NAVD. The mean high water elevation is t1.4 ft. NAVD. With the sand bag revetment installed (See Figure B on Sheet 2 of 3 in the Attachments) the sand bags may extend seaward of the mean high water elevation of beach. Some of the residences north of Topsail Reef presently impose some restrictions on public access during times of high title. As a result, installation of the sand bag structure would not have a significant incremental impact on public access in the project area at the time of high tide. h. Describe location and type of existing and proposed discharges to waters of the state. N/A - No discharges will be made into state waters (see description of construction methodology in hem c). I. Will wastewater or stormwaler be discharged into a wetland? []Yes ®No ❑NA If yes, will this discharged water be of the same salinity as the receiving water? []Yes []No ®NA j. Is there any mitigation proposed? If yes, attach a mitigation proposal. []Yes ®No ❑NA While there is no formal mitigation proposed for the sand bag revetment installation, the Town of North Topsail Beach will continue to monitor the area with beach profile surveys associated with its ongoing inletlbeach management plan. The Town expects to perform maintenance of the new channel through New River Inlet in the next 2 to 2.5 years. At that time, some of the dredged material could be used to provide beach nourishment in the sand bag project area. Maintenance of the inlet channel will be predicated on satisfying conditions contained in DOA permit SAW 2005-00344 and CAMA permit 79-10.

The rules of the. Coastal Resources Commission require that you receive an AEC 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 loss from hazards. By granting permits, the Coastal Resources Commission does not guarantee 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 if they become imminently threatened by changes in shoreline configuration. The structure(s) must be relocated or dismantled within two (2) years of becoming imminently threatened, and in any 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 _ �X_ feet per year. The rate was established by careful analysis of aerial photographs of the coastline taken over the past 50 years. Studies also indicate that the shoreline could move as much as t4 S�* feet landward in a major storm. The flood waters in a major storm are predicted to be about J±('&feet deep in this area. Preferred oceanfront protection measures are beach nourishment and relocation of threatened structures. Hard erosion control structures such as bulkheads, seawalls, revetments, groins, jetties and breakwaters are prohibited. Temporary sand bags may be authorized under certain 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. J":& Oct a aO1y Property Owner Signature Date Tow Ak&v -)el') r nor' f-4k 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 site, 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 LPO will inform you that you may begin work. Substantial progress on the project must be made within 60 days of this setback determination, or the setback must be re -measured. Also, the occurrence of a major shoreline change as the result of a storm within the 60-day period will necessitate re -measurement of the setback. It is important that you check with the LPO before the permit expires for official approval to continue the work after the permit has expired. Generally, if foundation pilings have been placed and substantial progress is continuing, permit renewal can be authorized. It is unlawful to continue work after permit expiration.

COASTAL PLANNING & ENGINEERING OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC. 4038 MASONBORO LOOP ROAD, WLMINGTON, NC 28409 910-791-9494 PHONE 910-791-4129 FAX November 25, 2014 Mr. Doug Hugget North Carolina Division of Coastal Management 400 Commerce Ave. Morehead City, NC 28557 RE: Construction Methods for North Topsail Beach North End Sand Bag Revetment Project Dear Mr. Huggett, This letter is in response to your e-mail request for additional information dated November 24, 2014 regarding means and methods to be used to construct the North Topsail Beach, North End Sand Bag Revetment Project. Please find the requested additional information including a drawing of the proposed construction cross section. After observing the continued rapid deterioration of the project area after sea conditions on November 23�d and 24d' (See photos below), a decision was made between the Town, CPE-NC, and the contractor to modify the original design to use a temporary geotextile containment tube to stabilize the project area. In order to allow for construction of the sand bag revetment, a geotextile containment tube will be filled and placed on top of the scour apron and seaward of the proposed sand bag revetment location in order to provide temporary protection to the work area. The nominal dimensions of the temporary containment tube will be 30 ft. in circumference. The tube is expected to achieve a height of approximately 5 to 6 ft and a width of 12 ft. Individual tubes will range in length from 100 to 200 ft. The purpose of the containment tube is two -fold. 1) The temporary structure will allow for a safer work environment landward of the tube, which will expedite the installation of the sand bag revetment. 2) The temporary structure will stabilize the chronic erosion currently threatening both the foundations of the houses and the property between the landward side of the houses and the road.

All bags will have an approximate height, when filled, of approximately 1.5 ft. While the sand bag revetment is being constructed, the area landward of the revetment will be backfilled with beach compatible sand to provide support and stability to the revetment. The re -designed configuration of the sand bag revetment, including the temporary containment tube will require less sand than the original sand bag revetment No additional sand sources will be needed to construct the project. Upon completion of the project, the temporary containment tube will be removed. Removal of the tube will be accomplished by cutting through the geotextile fabric along the seaward base of the tube. The top of the tube will then be pulled back and secured so that the sand inside is exposed. Over the course of several days, based on sea conditions, the wave action will scour out the sand and redistribute it within the littoral system. Once the sand is sufficiently removed from the tube, a land, based long reach excavator will be used to lift the geotextile fabric out of the water and dispose of it. Upon removal of the temporary containment tube, the Town may elect to place additional sand bags within the permitted footprint to achieve a cross section comparable to the original design.

Huggett, Doug _ From: Willson, Kenneth <Kenneth.Willson@cbi.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 2014 2:51 AM To: Huggett, Doug; Howell, Jonathan; Wilson, Debra Cc: Priest, Adam T.; Davis, Braxton C; Dail, Jason; Jarrett 'ntopsail@charter.net';'tom.leonardntb@yahoo.com'; Rosov, Brad; 'townmanager@north-topsail-beach.org' Subject: RE: Temporary construction measures Attachments: 152841-Sand Bag NEW Design Profile with Parallel 5x15.pdf Doug/Jonathan/Debbie, Thanks again for all of the time and effort you and your staff have put into this project. I can assure you that those of us involved realize the lengths that DCM and the CRC have gone to in order to get us to this point. Again, I want to reiterate that all of the adaptations that we have made to take this project to construction have been made in good faith that we were complying with the spirit of the rules and policies of DCM. I submit that some of the confusion resulted from a lack of clarity on my part as to where discretion in the "methods and means" to construct a project ends. In the future we will be quick to discuss any potentially controversial methods and means to construct a project with Division staff. Earlier this week when we recommended the modified structure, we believed that as long as we didn't construct a structure that exceeded the original footprint, it would be agreeable to the Division. We fully understand the Divisions concerns with extending the scour apron seaward of both the sand bag revetment and the temporary containment tubes. With regards to the anchor tubes, I read permit condition #4, which reads: Soldier pilings and other types of devices to anchor the sand bags shall not be allowed, to apply more to the sand bags, than holding the scour apron in place. We now clearly understand the Division's objection to the anchor tube concept. The Town and property owners are presented with a difficult scenario, where in order to stabilize the area in a timely manner so as to prevent the loss of a structure, they are going to spend a significant portion of the money allocated for the sand bag structure on a temporary measure (containment tube). It is our belief that this temporary containment tube will; 1) allow for a safer work environment landward of the tube, which will expedite the installation of the sand bag revetment; and 2) will temporarily (i.e. 6-monnths or until the sand bag revetment can be constructed, whichever is less) stabilize the chronic erosion currently threatening both the foundations of the houses and the property between the landward side of the houses and the road. This is a costly measure to buy time enough to install a permissible sand bag revetment without losing structures. Moving forward with the temporary containment tube to "stop the bleeding" will result in a reduction in both the width and height of the sand bag structure the Town can afford. After our conversation Tuesday afternoon, CPE-NC staff contacted the contractors to brief them on the agreed upon conditions. The contractors voiced some concern about the stability of the temporary containment tube in the absence of the extended scour apron and anchor tube. More specifically, the contractors were concerned that the temporary containment tube may be undermined and or roll while in place. This could result in both a loss of the functionality of the temporary tube and or an inability to retrieve the entirety of the material at the time of removal. Likewise, the contractors were concerned that if the scour apron were to be cut back to the front of the sand bag revetment when the temporary containment tube is removed, the front of the revetment could be in jeopardy of slumping. In order to address their concerns we are proposing a slightly modified cross section from the one submitted in the letter dated 11/25/14. The new cross section (See Attached) is a modified version of the cross section for Station 1150+00. The revised cross section included in the attached drawing widens the sand bag revetment base to 30 feet by using 2 — 5' x 15' bags stacked perpendicular to shore on the bottom layer. On the second Layer we have included an extra shore parallel bag to help with added stability on the landward side. The temporary containment tube will still be placed within the original 45 ft. wide footprint and will be underlain by a scour apron. We are also proposing to use a series of 18 inch diameter "chock Bags" to prevent the sand tube from rolling seaward as well as prevent excessive scour to occur under the temporary containment tube. The chock bags are 15' in length as opposed to a continuous tube. The. contractor has recommended this as a secondary option to the anchor tubes and extended scour apron. As discussed yesterday, we would still agree to remove the sand tube upon completion of the project or 6 months, whatever is less. We would also remove the chock bags at that time. We would also agree to remove the scour apron seaward of the seaward toe of the sand bag revetment after the temporary containment tube is removed. I realize we are all chasing a moving target and the frustration that occurs when you believe you are about to put this thing to bed and something else comes up. That's exactly what we've been dealing with for 4 + months with the project area. Again, we sincerely appreciate all of your patience and your ability to work with us through very difficult times. Please feel free to contact me on my cell phone if you have any questions about this information. If need be we can assemble in short order for a conference call.

CPENC has drafted the attached letter describing the details of the use of the temporary containment tube as well as an updated drawing. Please respond directly to the DCM regarding their request for a commitment by the Town to remove the construction tubes immediately upon completion of construction of the authorized oversized bags. Your prompt attention is appreciated. Doug, Please find a letter attached with the below requested information. Please let me know if you need any additional information.

We have discussed internally, and we believe that we need to add this to the variance permit we were ready to issue today (less than two hours after getting the variance order from the CRC Chairman), so we are going to hold off on that issuance until we get the additional info. However, with the holidays (and associated travel plans) upon us, we need the additional info in to us no later than lunch time tomorrow (Tuesday) so we can get this done this week. Otherwise it could be Monday of next week before we can finalize this. I hope this makes sense. If not, e-mail me or call me.
