Clay,
The Division of Coastal Management (DCM) has had further time to review the information provided yesterday
concerning the plans to recover the two stranded barges associated with the Bonner Bridge project. After additional
deliberations, including consideration of statements by the contractor that the project would not involve any
excavation, as well as the positions of the Corps of Engineers and the Division of Water Resources, DCM has determined
that the proposed actions do not constitute development under the Coastal Area Management Act(CAMA) or
excavation under the State Dredge and Fill Law. Therefore, a CAMA permit will not be required for the proposed
work. However, please be aware that should the project proposal be modified in a manner that requires even minimal
levels of excavation,a CAMA permit may be required. In such a case, DCM has emergency permitting authority for this
situation that should allow for a rapid regulatory response on our part. Should such a project modification be necessary,
please contact me at any time on my cell phone [phone]).
Thanks and good luck with the project.

Good Morning,
It sounds like recovery operations at the north barge are going well.
Sabrina Henry and I are dividing some of our responsibilities for storm
related activities in the Park and she will be heading up the Park's resource
assessment at the site of the south barge. She will also be coordinating
with NCDOT and the other Federal and State Agencies that are still
involved in the south barge site. Please direct all future emails dealing
with this matter to her, cc'ing: me.
I believe she has determined that the best time for our team to go out to the
site will be tomorrow AM.
Pablo and Clay, can you coordinate directly with Sabrina on the time to
meet at the Avon dock site tomorrow morning? Her contact information

Subject: NPS Response Barge Removal Plan
Clay,
NPS has reviewed the submitted plan for the refloating of the grounded barges, and
condition our approval of the same with:
• NCDOT/PCL/NPSs' receipt of USCG's approval of the plan
• NCDOT/PCL providing boat transportation to and from KS 4512 for 1 to 2 NPS
observers when recovery efforts are ongoing at the sight, to monitor the situation
• If it appears that Park resources have been damaged by the barge or recovery
activities, then we will require the obtaining of the necessary permits from NPS and
the other participating agencies to make such repairs and to restore the land to its
original condition to the entire satisfaction of the Superintendent.
We are assuming that NCDOT/PCL will be doing an after action review of what caused
the barges to be set adrift and what steps can be taken in the future to prevent a
reoccurrence of this incident and sharing the same with us as it becomes available.
Thank you for providing this information to us and we ask that all future correspondence
on this topic include cc's: to our Environmental Protection Ranger, Sabrina Henry.

Thank you for the information and keeping us informed on the proposed removal process of the barges that
were stranded during Hurricane Matthew. At this time with the given information I don't see where a permit would be
required from the US Army Corps of Engineers(Corps)for the retrieval of these two vessels.The Corps has emergency
permitting available for storm related events resulting in impacts to waters and wetlands of the US(WOUS).This
permitting option will be available if the proposed action for retrieval has to be altered and impacts to WOUS are
observed. Please continue to coordinate with the Corps and other resource agencies throughout this process. If you

Two runaway barges still high and dry in Avon

The two barges that broke loose from near the Bonner Bridge construction site during Hurricane
Matthew's assault with high winds and storm surge on the Outer Banks on Sunday morning are still
grounded in Avon.
The contractor on the bridge replacement project, PCL Civil Constructors, is working with the N.C.
Department of Transportation and other regulatory agencies, including North Carolina's CAMA, the
National Park Service, and the U.S. Coast Guard to come up with a plan to remove the barges,
which, on Wednesday morning, were still where they had been pushed by the storm surge.
The contractor had a storm plan that was coordinated with regulatory agencies and the U.S. Coast
Guard. Nicole Meister, a spokeswoman for NCDOT said both barges that came loose were moored at
a planned location in the Pamlico Sound about 8 miles southwest of the Bonner Bridge construction
site.
Meister described both barges as "tool" barges -- as in they carry tools. One of the two carried the
impact hammer and water jet used to install individual pilings.

The U.S. Coast Guard reports that personnel at Coast Guard Sector Field Office (SFO) Cape
Hatteras received a call from the Dare County Emergency Operations Center at about 1:50 p.m.
Sunday, during the storm, stating one barge went adrift in Pamlico Sound and was aground in the
vicinity of Weakfish Drive in Avon, in close proximity to waterfront properties.
Island Free Press photographer Don Bowers found that barge up against the bulkhead of one of the
waterfront properties and still apparently drifting.
That barge contains approximately 300 gallons of diesel fuel and 100 gallons of hydraulic oil.
According to the Coast Guard, local authorities evacuated people from homes in the vicinity of the
grounded barge at approximately 2:15 p.m. No injuries were reported.
The Coast Guard also reported that contractor PCL sent an equipment manager, along with
personnel from SFO Cape Hatteras, who arrived on scene around 3:30 p.m. Sunday to investigate.
PCL personnel determined later Sunday that a second 140-foot barge had broken free of its mooring
at the mooring site southeast of the Bonner Bridge and was also adrift in Pamlico Sound.
An aircraft crew with Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 10 conducted overflight patrols and located the
second barge at about 11 a.m. Monday, grounded approximately 7 miles south of the first barge --
between Canadian Hole and Askins Creek in south Avon.
The second barge contains approximately 200 gallons of diesel fuel and 300 gallons of hydraulic oil.
There have been no reports of pollution from either barge.
The barges are stable and not likely to move given the current water and weather conditions, Pablo
Hernandez, the resident engineer for the NCDOT and the project manager for Bonner replacement
project, said in an email on Tuesday evening. "All the equipment on the barges is accounted
for, secure, and stable."
Hernandez said that NCDOT, CAMA, NPS, and PCL had a chance to review the barges Tuesday and
discuss general recovery plan and options.
"We will continue to monitor the grounded barges as the responsible party plans salvage efforts,"
said Capt. Patricia Hill, commander of Coast Guard Sector North Carolina in Wilmington. "We will
ensure the responsible party conducts a timely and safe salvage in order to mitigate the potential
threats to the environmentally sensitive Pamlico Sound."

Subject: PCL Barge Removal Plan associated with Hurricane Matthew damage on
the Barge Mooring Point located of Old House Channel at approximately
35.6825 N&-75.6236 W.
References: Bridge No. 11 over Oregon Inlet on NC 12 in Dare County,North
Carolina;TIP Project B-2500(Phase I); Federal Aid Projects BRNHF-
0012 (48)and BRNHF-0012(36);Debit from WBS Element: 32635.1.4
The North Carolina Department of Transportation(NCDOT)is providing information for
review of a barge salvage operation scheduled to take place within the next several days.
This is a result of Hurricane Matthew causing damage to a mooring point established of
Old House Channel in association with the Bonner Bridge project.During the storm event
on the weekend of October 8th,high winds,tides and waves caused the separation of two
barges from their mooring station. These two barges are material barges that are utilized
in day to day operation of the bridge construction project. On the barges are secured
materials,which include a pile driving hammer and associated tools. These items are
essential to the daily operation of the bridge construction. During the storm and
movement of the barge,all materials remained in place and secure. All items have been
inventoried and accounted for on the barge. The two barges drifted south approximately
25 miles and one came ashore on the backside of northern Avon,between Weakfish Lane
and Island Creek Drive,while the other barge went further south, 0.5 miles north of the
Canadian Hole. I have attached maps of the two barges current locations.
PCL contracting has contracted with a company that specializes in marine salvage, Center
Lift,based out of Louisiana. They have reviewed photographs of the barges, aerial
images,locations,environmental factors,and concluded that pneumatic roller bags are
the best option to recover the barges. Roller bags can be positioned under the barges,
inflated to a point which allows for an offshore towing winch to advance the barge
forward of the marsh. The towing winch is mounted on a shallow draft anchor barge,
which is anchored in place,as shown on the provided Center Lift attachment. Once the
barge is pulled of the marsh and buoyant,smaller push boats and a shallow draft
truckable tug will pull/push the barges to Cape Channel. The towing route is marked for
deeper water and illustrated on the attachment. These barges need 2-3 feet of water to
have buoyancy. The water level in the Pamlico Sound remains high in the Avon area,but
%Nothing Compares

will likely continue to recede to normal levels,within the week. Quick recovery response
will increase the chances of a successful recovery. The current plan does not involve any
excavation around the barges. The contractor will need to utilize a light weight marsh
vehicle to place the pneumatic roller bags. These bags are made from a heavy gauge
fabric and cannot be maneuvered without assistance from equipment. I included a photo
of the type of equipment used to maneuver the bags. Center Lift has details of their plan
in the attachment. During the recovery operation,NCDOT will have staff on-site to
monitor the progress and can report any updates to the agencies.
The recovery of the barges has been made a top priority for the Bonner Bridge
project and all efforts to recover them in a safe and environmentally sound way are being
pursued. We are coordinating with the USACOE,NCDWR,NCDCM,USCG and NPS
during this operation and will keep everyone updated throughout the process. Center Lift
is being scheduled to mobilize personnel and equipment over the next few days and hopes
to begin the operation on Monday. We are available to answer questions or if additional
information/coordination is needed,please let us know.

PCL October 13, 2016
Transfer and Return Plan of KS4503 and KS4512 Barges to
The Bonner Bridge Replacement Project
The objective of the salvage is to remove the KS 4503 and KS 4512 barges from their current
position along their respective shorelines in the vicinity of Avon, NC. The barge positions are
indicated on the attached document. A full inspection of the barges KS4503 and KS 4512 was
performed by a third party marine surveyor on October 13, 2016 and the initial report indicates
no damage was found. PCL has performed a visual inspection of all of the auxiliary equipment
on the deck and found that everything is in good condition and attached to the barges,and
there are no leaks from any equipment fuel/oil tanks. There is no fuel or oil contained inside the
barge voids. Therefore,we feel that there is very low to no risk of fuel contamination during the
salvage operation. Spill kits will be on hand with boom and sorbent materials.
Due to the shallow nature of the sound in this area,the intent is to bring in 3 each shallow draft
boats(ranging from 300hp to 500hp)that can work in water levels of 2-3' and deeper to assist
with the salvage operation and transfer to deeper water. A route has been developed based on
"best water"to get the barge to deeper water in Cape Channel. The salvage operation will be
started by using air bags and winch system as outlined in the Salvage and Refloat Plan. Once the
barge is in enough water, approximately 3ft,to float on its own it will be visually inspected a
second time to ensure no damage to the hull has occurred during transit.
It will then be towed along the attached route(see attached)to Cape Channel with a 500hp
truckable tug along with 2 or 3 of the 300hp to 500hp boats,where it will then be handed off to
a larger tug boat. This route is subject to slight variations based on actual water depths. A
hydrographic survey is being conducted by a third party to confirm the"best water" route for
the transfer operation and transfer towing.
A barge inspection by a third party marine surveyor will be performed after the barges have
been returned to the project site.

1 OVERVIEW
This plan summarizes the proposed operations to refloat KS4503 and KS4512. The proposed
operation focuses on using pneumatic roller bags to lift and roll the barges to deeper water. The
pulling force to move the barge when up on the roller bags will be rendered by PCL-supplied winch
barge with hydraulic winch onboard. That barge will be anchored with a minimum 30001b anchor.
Details of winch barge and winch are in Appendix A.
Center-Lift's scope is to move the barges to deep water where PCL will regain control and tow/push
them with support vessels to end destination.

The barges are in good condition overall,with no apparent breach in hull and no apparent damage
to hull:
• Vessels found to be intact and resting on a hard sand/seagrass bottom, headings are as per
pictures in Appendix B
• General Arrangements for the barges are in Appendix C.
• Barges are over-estimated to be 320mt of weight; both weight of barge and deck load
included (this includes a large safety factor). In the photos, barges appear to have 2ft-4"
draft,as indicated by growth visible in the pics. Deadweight scale shows approximately
200mt at that draft.
• Grounding occurred at higher than high tide,and barges are aground through entire
length.
• There are no impact or stress points from the grounding;both barges are aground similarly
on relatively level, hard compacted sand.
• Vessels found to be mostly even keeled,with little variance in drafts.
• Vessels found to have all tanks intact and watertight,with no reported damage and no
significant longitudinal deflection.There are no signs of water ingress or egress and there
is no pollution reported at the scene.
Based on the above the barge had 320 tons(heavy estimate)aground in current condition.
2.1 Vessel Particulars—See Appendix C
3 SALVAGE PLAN
3.1 Sequence of Operations
Center Lift will mobilize the equipment and personnel shown in Section 3.3. PCL shall provide the
prime pulling power with winch barge shown in Appendix A. The winch barge will first set her
30001b anchor.
1) The marsh excavator and work barge will be moved adjacent to KS4503 by PCL support boats.
2) Marsh excavator will deploy and assist in placing and pulling bags.
3) Bags will be connected to compressor that is stationed either on work barge or the main
compressor on 4503.
4) Simultaneous to Center Lift placing roller bags, PCL will position and anchor the winch barge;
and eventually spool out winch wire; rig snatch block at furthest bight.
5) A full 8-bag series will be utilized with 6 bags always sustaining load while one is exiting and one

A manna lining.launching,and recovery company
is staged to take load. These bags will be leap-frogged by Center Lift crew by hand lines or with
excavator if necessary.
6) Soft slings(shown in Appendix A)and shackles will be provided by and rigged on stranded barge
and led forward to a singular shackle and 1.5"70 meter wire pigtail. If transit distance is
minimized, pigtail will be minimized. Rigging is detailed in drawings in Appendix D.
7) VOID SOUNDINGS:
• Barge voids can only be sounded through manhole covers,which will remain sealed
during transit in order to sustain barge buoyancy.
• PCL will conduct soundings prior to Center-Lift operations.
• Manholes will remain sealed during transit.
• Once barge is in positive buoyancy on its own, and in positive control of PCL support
vessels, PCL will again conduct soundings to verify all voids are still intact and there is
no damage to the barge.
• Safety:when barge is up on the roller bags,we will conduct a joint inspection of the
hull to spot any water draining from punctures or holes. Temporary repairs can be
conducted while up on the bags prior to transit commencing.
8) When barge is loaded on pneumatic lift,Center Lift will review all rigging and commence pull
with PCL's hydraulic winch. Safety:A final walkthrough of all rigging and transit route will
occur prior to commencement of transit.
9) Upon transfer of KS4503 to transit assist vessels,all transit bags and support equipment
including rigging will be reset to barge K54512.
10) Repeat for K54512 with the exception that there may be no shore access to KS4512 site,so
marsh excavator will have to deploy off of the work platform.
11) Upon transfer of KS4512 to transit assist vessel, all rigging, roller bags,and marsh excavator will
be loaded onto the work platform and transited to main worksite for demob.
3.2 Site Safety
• Center Lift and PCL shall impose their standard site safety procedures to this operation.
• Morning safety round up log-in sheets are mandatory.
• Spill kits will be on hand with boom and sorbent materials.The only operating
hydrocarbon equipment is the air compressor, marsh excavator and winch on the winch
barge.
• Specific safety measures installed for this operation shall include:
o Daily pre-ops meetings to ensure both PCL and Center Lift personnel know their
roles and relationships to each other. Positive communications shall be checked
and recorded prior to each day's operations.

o Safety factors of at least 25%have been incorporated into each line of this
engineered operation. For example: We have used a 1.25 factor on force of pull
required and then added an additional 50%to that when sourcing the winch and
running rigging(in addition to using an over-estimated barge weight)
o All personnel will be constantly aware of main force pulling plane.
o Positive control of the stranded barges will be maintained at all times.
3.3 Personnel and Equipment
Center Lift will provide the following personnel and equipment to work this job.
Personnel
1—Salvage Master
1—Project Manager
4—Technicians
Equipment and Craft
PCL shall provide the prime pulling force by using the winch barge in Appendix A.
PCL shall provide the air compressor(185cfm minimum).
PCL shall provide the work platform to be used by Center Lift alongside KS4503 and KS4512.
The work platform will also be used to transport the marsh excavator and act as work platform for
the marsh excavator.
Center Lift will provide the following Equipment
10 ea 2m x 8m roller bags—initial raising on hard ground

(as per Allswater Engineering)
=0.0077/.5(Roller Height)
1.1 =0.0077/.5 x 1ft =0.0154
• Rolling Resistance Calculation
RR =µ x Weight of Barge
=.0154 x 320 =4.928 tons
• Pulling Factor of Safety= 1.25
Pulling Force Required
1.25 x 4.928 tons=6.16 tons x 2000Ibs=12,320 lbs of pull required
(Safety:We have been working with 18,0001bs in all engineering calcs).
3.4.2 Allowable Bearing Pressure of Soil
Loose sand inundated (per Sowers and Sowers): 600-2,000 pounds per square foot lowest
Soft mud: 500-1,000
Clay wet, mixed with sand: 2,000-3,000
Roller Bearing Pressure Per Roller for 6 ea x 1.5m x 16m Pneumatic Rollers
Barge: 140ft x 45ft x 9ft x 320 tons 320 tons/6 rollers= 53.3 tons per roller
53.3 tons x 20001bs per ton= 106,666.67 lbs per roller
Pneumatic Roller Bearing Area per Roller:
Roller Footprint, calculated for 2.67psi air pressure in each bag(amount required for 1 foot of lift):
45 ft(width of barge)x 6.15ft(width of bag with 2.67psi)=276.93 square feet.
Load per roller is 106,666.67 lbs
Footprint per roller is 276.93 Bearing Pressure=385.18 lbs/sq ft
3.4.3 Pull force available from Proposed equipment
Appendix A includes hydraulic winch details and photos of soft slings.
Appendix D shows rigging diagram.
All running rigging exceeds the safety factors for the required pull of 12,320Ibs.

We should be getting a plan very shortly on the barge removal effort. I previously sent this information to those listed
below, but I know some people might be out of the office, so I wanted to make sure you got this information. PCL is
hoping to get approval of their plan as soon as possible, so they can get the salvage contractor in route and have
personnel and equipment on-site for possible plan implementation on Monday of next week. One of the current
advantages they have at the moment, is the water level is still high in the sound and the north wind is keeping the water
level pushed up. Being able to take advantage of that extra 1'of water could make a difference.
Thanks,
Clay

I know you all are aware of the two barges that broke from the mooring point,during the storm.The barges drifted
about 25 miles south, through the Pamlico Sound and ended up along the shore of Avon. I have attached two maps,
giving the locations of the two barges. Because of the elevated storm tides,the barges were able to drift up onto the
shoreline/marsh and settle just upwards of a normal mean high water mark along the bank.Therefore,once the storm
tide began to recede the barges are now, mostly resting on the marsh substrate.The northern barge has a portion of the
barge still over the water and beyond the marsh shoreline.The southern barge was able to drift further up above
the normal mean high water mark, and thus is entirely resting on the marsh. I have attached location maps and photo's
of the two barges.
PCL is currently developing a plan to remove the barges.This plan development is underway, and we will continue to
update you as soon as they have it completed and prior to any implementation. It looks like they are going to be utilizing
the services of a company that specializes in marine salvage.They have talked about an airbag system, with an offshore
winch on a shallow draft barge to provide the towing force, but that plan is in the development stage. We don't have
any details on the plan at this moment, but we will keep you updated.The contractor has been made aware that agency
coordination is required, because of the resources in the area and they know communication of their plan is needed
prior to implementation.
The equipment that is on the barges has all been inventoried and accounted for, so no loss of any equipment, etc.
occurred during the storm.

Well keep you posted as the plan develops.

Hatteras Village, Frisco and Buxton have flood damage as well as wind damage. Damage was reported to piers, docks
and bulkheads in Hatteras Harbor. It was reported this morning that NC 12 has 6-12" of standing water in Hatteras
Village. The barge in Avon is located in the back yard of 39034 Windy Lane. The other barge is near Canadian Hole and
is in shallow water. A contractor has been engaged to remove them. Areas of Dare County are still without power and
there was damage from flooding and wind on both sides of the islands. Kitty Hawk has not started pumping storm water
at this time. The area between Lindberg and Va Dare Trail is flooded the entire length of Lindberg.
