not be released into open shellfish waters. Shellfish Sanitation and the Division of Water
Quality must be notified if this is to occur.
15. If concrete is used during the construction, then all necessary measures shall be taken to
prevent direct contact between uncured or curing concrete and waters of the state. Water
that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to waters of the state
due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life/fish kills.
16. All temporary fill and culverts shall be removed and the impacted area returned to natural
conditions, within 60 days of the determination that the temporary impact is no longer
necessary. The impacted areas shall be restored to original grade, including each stream's
original cross sectional dimensions, plan form pattern, and longitudinal bed and bed profile,
and the various sites shall be stabilized with natural woody vegetation (except approved
maintenance areas) and restored to prevent erosion.
17. All temporary pipes/culverts/riprap pads etc, shall be installed in all streams as outlined in
the most recent edition of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and
Design Manual so as not to restrict stream flow or cause dis-equilibrium.
18. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters shall be inspected and maintained
regularly to prevent contamination of surface waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids,
or other toxic materials. Construction shall be staged in order to minimize the exposure of
equipment to surface waters to the maximum extent practicable. Fueling, lubrication and
general equipment maintenance shall be performed in a manner to prevent, to the
maximum extent practicable, contamination of surface waters by fuels and oils. [35A NCAC
02H .0506(b)(3) and (c)(3) and 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (12)j
19. In accordance with 143-215.85(b), the applicant shall report any petroleum spill of 25
gallons or more; any spill regardless of amount that causes a sheen on surface waters; any
petroleum spill regardless of amount occurring within 100 feet of surface waters; and any
petroleum spill less than 25 gallons that cannot be cleaned up within 24 hours.

General Certification is not valid until a Categorical Exclusion, the Final Environmental
Assessment, or Final Environmental Impact Statement is published by the lead agency [15A
NCAC 01C .0307(a)]
22. This Certification does not relieve the applicant of the responsibility to obtain all other
required Federal, State, or Local approvals before proceeding with the project, including
those required by, but not limited to Sediment and Erosion Control, Non -Discharge, Water
Supply Watershed, and Trout Buffer regulations.
23. The applicant and their authorized agents shall conduct all activities in a manner consistent

They can use the area in transit but they can expect vessels at the site (significantly less in the winter months). The
concern is that any submerged run through the site could damage their equipment and/or the reef structure. It is just
outside of the line if you draw one from the borrow source to 10th street, but is still something I want them to be aware
of.

Thanks, Curt! And just to be sure I'm clear- you would like them to avoid the buffer area even with in -transit vessel
traffic, correct (transit being an activity)? Or are you talking about avoidance of the area with subline and things of that
nature?

RE: Town of Oak Island
Dear Heather Coats:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural
communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project
boundary. These results are presented in the attached 'Documented Occurrences' tables and map.
The attached 'Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that
have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these
records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area
if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
If a Federally -listed species is documented within the project area or indicated within a one -mile
radius of the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) for guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
F ffices'Direcrnrv/ListOfficescfm'�-taterode=3,
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation
planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria
for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published
without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information
source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission.
Also please note that the NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional
correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Clean Water
Management Trust Fund easement, or an occurrence of a Federally -listed species is documented
near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at rode- v but!era;ncdc r -7o,i or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,

NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) reviewed the public notice for Action ID No. SAW-
2018-02230 dated October 22, 2019, and the request for Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) consultation dated
November 5, 2019. The Town of Oak Island is proposing to dredge a portion of Jay Bird Shoals and
place the dredged material along the shoreline of Oak Island for beach nourishment in Brunswick County.
The Wilmington District's initial determination is the proposed action would not have an individual or
cumulative adverse effect on EFH or associated fisheries managed by the South Atlantic Fishery
Management Council (SAFMC), Mid -Atlantic Fishery Management Council, or the NMFS. As the
nation's federal trustee for the conservation and management of marine, estuarine, and diadromous
fishery resources, the NMFS provides the following comments pursuant to the authorities of the Fish and
Wildlife Coordination Act and the Magnuson -Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson -Stevens Act).
The project narrative states the proposed beach nourishment would protect infrastructure from a 25-year-
return-period storm event. The Oak Island shoreline has a history of nourishment projects dating back to
2001. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funded the most recent nourishment event.
To address damage caused by Hurricane Matthew, FEMA funded construction during 2017/2018 of a
temporary "emergency berm" requiring approximately 120,000 cubic yards of material.
The Town of Oak Island now proposes to place material along four miles of shoreline into approximately
122 acres of waters of the United States, specifically 72 acres of intertidal open waters and 50 acres of
subtidal open waters. The proposed dune/berm would be constructed at 13.5 to 14.5 feet NAVD88. Jay
Bird Shoals is the proposed preferred sand source (304 acres). Within the borrow area, three different
zones and dredge depths are identified in an effort to maintain the integrity of the shoal and to minimize
effects on the nearshore wave environment. Proposed dredging depths include Zone 1 to a depth of -26
feet NAVD88 with the removal of approximately 4 to I I feet of material, Zone 2 to -31 feet NAVD88
with the removal of approximately 5 to 6 feet of material, and Zone 3 to -27 feet NAVD88 with the
removal of approximately 5 to 12 feet of material. While Jay Bird Shoals was previously used as a
borrow site for beach nourishment projects at Bald Head Island, the portion of the shoals identified by
Oak Island for this project will be at a new location. The Town indicates it will remove up to 1,100,000
cubic yards of material from the shoals using either a hopper dredge or cutter suction dredge and transport
to the beach will be via a submerged pipeline or hopper dredge.
In addition to being EFH, the SAFMC designates Jay Bird Shoals as a Habitat Area of Particular Concern
(HAPC) under the fishery management plans for shrimp and the snapper/grouper complex. HAPCs are
subsets of EFH that are rare, particularly susceptible to human -induced degradation, especially important

ecologically, or located in an environmentally stressed area. Tidal shoals, such as Jay Bird Shoals, benefit
fishery resources by providing nursery, spawning, and foraging habitats. Further, tidal shoals are part of a
habitat complex that includes inshore marshes, and this complex supports a diverse community of fish
and invertebrates within North Carolina waters. The SAFMC provides additional information on EFH
and HAPCs and their support of federally managed fishery species in Fishery Ecosystem Plan of the
South Atlantic Region.
The EFH Assessment predicts only short-term impacts to EFH from increases in turbidity, siltation, and
noise during construction. Conservation measures submitted by the Town of Oak Island include an
environmental window of November 16 through April 30 for implementation of dredging activities and
beach placement.
The NMFS expects impacts to EFH from dredging Jay Bird Shoals in the manner described will be
consistent with the descriptions in the EFH Assessment. The Town of Oak Island already plans to
implement the primary conservation measure (environmental window) the NMFS normally recommends
for avoiding and minimizing impacts to EFH. In addition to this window, the NMFS requests the permit
require monitoring of the borrow area to evaluate whether the natural re -filling of the dredged areas by
beach -quality sand occurs at the rate excepted. The Town, Wilmington District, and resources agencies
need this information to balance future uses of Jay Bird Sholas as a sand resource with fish and wildlife
value of the shoals.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide these comments. Please direct related correspondence to the
attention of Ms. Twyla Cheatwood at our Beaufort Field Office, 101 Pivers Island Road, Beaufort, North

Subject: Town of Oak Island; Dredging of Jaybird Shoals and Beach Sand Placement
Action 1D # SAW-2018-02230
Brunswick County, NC
Dear Mr. Smith:
This is in response to the public notice, dated October 22, 2019, concerning the Town of
Oak Island's proposed dredging and beach nourishment project, on Oak Island and in the
adjacent Atlantic Ocean. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has reviewed the
public notice, project narrative and plans, and the District Engineer's determination of
project impacts, pursuant to section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as
amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543). We also discussed this project with you by phone on
November 15, 2019.
Project Area, Proposed Activities, and Anticipated Impacts
The applicant proposes to dredge a portion of Jay Bird Shoals and place the dredged
material along approximately four miles of shoreline on Oak Island for beach
nourishment. The proposed disposal would involve the discharge of dredged material into
approximately 122 acres of waters of the United States, specifically 72 acres of intertidal
open waters and 50 acres of subtidal open waters, along approximately four miles of
shoreline. The proposed dune/berm would be constructed at 13.5 to 14.5 feet NAVD88.
In a related but separate effort, approximately 8.5 miles of duneiberm is proposed to be
planted with native dune vegetation (four miles this coming year, and 4.5 miles in the
next year). The dune crest and landward side of the dune is proposed for planting, but
not the ocean side. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has also
contacted us to consult on the dune plating activities, which it may fund.
RECEIVED
NOV 2 6 2019
MP SECTION WIRO

The applicant has identified an approximate 304-acre sand source site for the acquisition
of beach -compatible material suitable for placement along the Oak Island shoreline. The
applicant proposes to dredge approximately 1.1 million cubic yards of material from Jay
Bird Shoals to address sediment losses, as well as ensure improved beach widths along
this portion of Oak Island. Sediment identified within the Jay Bird Shoals borrow site
will be excavated by a hopper or cutterhead dredge and pumped by submerged pipeline to
the disposal area. Three different zones and dredge depths have been identified in Jay
Bird shoals with the intention to maintain the integrity of the shoal and minimize the
effect on the nearshore wave environment.
Federally Protected Species
The Service has reviewed available information on federally -threatened or endangered
species known to occur in Brunswick County. Our review indicates that several species
may occur in the project area, including the West Indian manatee (Trichechns w n albs),
piping plovers (Charadrius nzelodus inelodus), red knot (Calldris canunis ri fa) seabeach
amaranth (Amaranthus p:anilus), and the Kemp's Ridley (Lepidochelys kempi), hawksbill
(Lretntochelys in:bricata), leatherback (Derniochelys coriacea), loggerhead (Caretla
carelta), and green (Chelonia mydas) sea turtles.
The Corps has determined that the project may'covered using the Statewide
Programmatic Biological Opinion for North Carolina Beach Sand Placement (SPBO).
The public notice states that the applicant intends to comply with the terms and conditions
and reasonable and prudent measures required by the SPBO. For West Indian manatee, the
Corps has requested concurrence with a determination of may affect. The proposed dune
planting is not covered by the SPBO, but the Corps has determined that the dune planting
activities are outside of its jurisdictional area (i.e. above the normal high tide line).
Service Comments and Recommendations
1. The Service agrees that the sand placement portion of the project is covered by the
SPBO. We appreciate that the applicant has acknowledged the need to comply with the
terms and conditions (T&Cs) and reasonable and prudent measures (RPMs) of the SPBO.
In particular, the Service has discussed with you the requirement (RPM and T&C AA) to
remove debris and large amounts of rock from the fill template before sand is placed.
The Service agrees that only surface rock needs to be removed, pursuant to this condition.
Please contact our office if there are other questions concerning the T&Cs, prior to the
pre -construction meeting.

3
2. Timing of the project and sand compatibility are significant requirements of the
SPBO. The Service has reviewed the Geotechnical Report for the Jaybird Shoals borrow
area, and notes that some of the core samples show large amounts of granular material
and high carbonates. In addition, the wet Munsell color of some of the core samples are
quite dark (values of 3 or 4). Wet Munsell color of the borrow material should be similar
to the native beach material, and should typically have a value greater than 5 (regardless
of the hue or chroma). It may be that as material is mixed during sand placement, the
color value of the material will be sufficiently light, and the amount of granular material
will be insignificant. However, it will be important for the applicant to ensure that the
material is suitable prior to placement on the beach.
3. In order to avoid and minimize impacts to the West Indian manatee, the Service
recommends that any authorization for the project require adherence to the Service's
2017 Guidelines for Avoiding Impacts to the West Indian Manatee.
4. The Service recognizes that the dune planting activities are in an area that is outside of
the Corps' typical jurisdiction. The Service intends to consult with FEMA for the dune
planting portions of the project, and does not expect the Corps to include the dune
planting activities in its authorization. Please notify us if the Corps decides to include
dune planting in the authorized activities.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project. If you have questions, please
contact Kathy Matthews at 919-856-4520, ext. 27 or by e-mail at

Dear Dr. Wilber:
Reference is made to a Department of the Army permit application submitted by
the Town of Oak Island to dredge approximately 304 acres of Jay Bird Shoals and the
placement of the dredged material into 120 acres of waters of the United States to
nourish the central shoreline of Oak Island, Brunswick County, North Carolina.
Please allow this coordination letter to initiate the Essential Fish Habitat (EFH)
consultation requirements of the Magnuson -Stevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act. The proposal would impact approximately 72 acres of marine
intertidal habitat and 50 acres of marine subtidal habitat utilized by various life stages of
spiny lobster, snapper -grouper complex, and migratory species. Our initial
determination is that the proposed action would not have a individual or cumulative
adverse impact on EFH or fisheries managed by Fishery Management Councils and the
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). Our final determination relative to project
impacts and the need for mitigation measures is subject to review by and coordination
with your office.
An EFH assessment is provided to facilitate your review and determination of the
project's effects on EFH and federally managed fisheries. The project public notice can
be accessed at:
http://www saw usace army mil/Missions/RegulatoryPermitProgram/PublicNotices.asax
In accordance with the Act, the Corps requests your Agency's final determination
of the effects of this project on EFH and federally managed fisheries, and asks that you
provide comments and any conservation measures that would serve to mitigate for
these potential impacts.
