RE: Minor Modification of Surf City Permit #190-05
Dear Ms. Coats,
T I to a s t a I
Please allow this letter to serve as a request to initiate a Minor Modification to Surf City's existing CAMA permit #190-05
(beach bulldozing) to allow for an emergency dune repair via truck hauled sand. The current permit expired on
December 31, 2020, but the Town submitted a renewal request last year (2023). It is our understanding that this
renewal has not yet been granted due to slow responses by DWR and the USACE and we are hoping to revitalize this
effort to not only renew the bulldozing permit, but also allow for a small section of dune be bolstered with trucked in
sand to restore its efficacy.
This winter numerous winter storms impacted southeastern North Carolina bringing with them multiple bouts of
elevated tide and sea conditions. Given the small beach width in portions of Surf City, this unfortunately resulted in
severe erosion to portions of the dune and has left several properties in compromising positions very near the edge of
the scarped dune. To alleviate the problem, Surf City is requesting a small-scale truck haul project to rebuild the
protective dune system to the same dimensions as the post Florence dune restoration project. It is important to note
that all work will be completed above (landward) of the Mean High Water line.
Attached to this letter are site plans showing both plan view and cross -sectional design elements of the project. Overall,
approximately 5,100 cubic yards of sand would be required to rehab the dune system. As with similar projects in the
past, this sand would come from either the ST Wooten sand mine or 421 Sand, both located on Highway 421 in
Wilmington. All sand is screened prior to being stockpiled for use at these mines and will be of beach quality as specified
in the NC Sediment Criteria Standards. To verify the quality of the sand, a representative sample will be taken from each
completed dune profile (taken every 100') along the dune placement area and tested for grain size during construction.
Sand will be trucked to the project site via on -road dump trucks and stockpiled at the Kinston Ave beach access area.
From there, offroad trucks will transport sediment to the designated fill area (approximately 1 mile south of Kinston
Ave) and graded to the design specifications by bulldozer. We hope to have this work completed by the April 30
environmental moratorium and don't anticipate actual construction to take more than 7 days to complete (once
started). Thank you very much for your timely consideration of this project, please let me know if you have any
questions or need clarification/additional information for any aspect of the proposed work.
Sincerely,
/_ 91-1

Vice President

So I think I'll just have to reauthorize, reference the original permitted dimensions and conditions,
with a condition that they have to provide the plans and narrative with specific lengths and volumes,
etc. to us in advance of the work, whenever they do need to do the work so I can then coordinate w/
the fed agencies with specific details on my end.
In my discussions w/ Kathy she stated that as long as the work is being conducted during the winter
work window that formal consultation would not be required. If working in May -then I would need
to request to initiate formal ESA consultation w/ FWS.

Subject: Surf City beach bulldozing renewal request. 190-05

Hi everyone,
Please refer to the attached renewal request along with the links below for
attachments regarding the permit file materials associated with a renewal request for
an expired CAMA major permit. DCM has determined this project does not qualify for
a renewal under CRC rule 15A NCAC 07J.0404(b) and therefore cannot be renewed
unless circulated to resource agencies to provide comment on any changes in
circumstances or site conditions, or changes in your agency's rules or
development standards that warrant a new application and CAMA major permit
review.
Therefore, DCM is requesting that your agency review the above materials and
provide comment within 21 days of receipt of this email on any changes in site
conditions or rules that would prohibit DCM from issuing a permit renewal. If no reply
is provided within 21 days of receipt, then DCM will consider this as a NO
COMMENT from your agency.
Thanks in advance, let me know if you have any questions, and I hope you all have a
great weekend!
Heather

Heather,
NCWRC has reviewed the truck haul expansion project described below and understands it is a
permit modification for Permit #190-05. The NCWRC does not object to this repair, as long as all
conditions in Permit #190-05 are maintained.
A copy of our comments sent during the last permit modification are included for reference.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and provide comment. Please let me know if there is
anything additional.

Hello everyone,
The Town of Surf City is looking to perform a small truck haul dune repair project as outlined in
the attached request. The proposed project area extends approximately 1,000' in length from a

point north of Seahorse Ave to a location south of Quarterhorse Ave (see attached request
with project plans). Sand would be sourced from either the ST Wooten or 421 Sand mines and
all fill would remain above MHW. They expect the work to take about 7 days and plan to
complete work prior to May 1. This is a proposed as a modification of the Town's beach
bulldozing permit (Permit No. 190-05). The ACE's past Action ID number for this project was
SAW-2005-00158. The DWR number previously assigned to this project was 2005-2016.
Please let me know as soon as possible and by March 26 if you have any questions or
concerns. I have also attached some recent photos provided by Jamie with TI Coastal for your
reference.
Thanks!

Good Morning Heather -
Please see attached Minor Modification request for permit 190-05 to not only continue
with the renewal of the Town's beach bulldozing permit but also allow for a small scale
dune rehabilitation project via truck haul this spring. I will bring a check by your office
today for $100 to cover the permit application fee. If you have any questions, please let
me know and as always THANK YOU for your help and hard work.

As long as they are able to meet the Conservation Measures and Terms and Conditions
from the SPBO (especially completing everything before April 30, and ensuring the
material is compatible), I think the project can be covered under the SPBO. This is of
course, assuming that the Corps has jurisdiction.

Hi Heather,
I'm inclined to say that since it appears that the work associated with the current proposed truck
haul/dune repair work is above mean high water, then the Corps would not regulate this particular
activity.
Regarding the expired Beach Bulldozing permit reauthorization request referenced in the first
paragraph of the attached letter from TI Coastal, we still need the applicant to provide the items
requested in the attached email thread. Specifically a narrative and plans to include volumes and
distance along the shoreline. Holley issued the 401 for Surf City BB project (attached in the email
thread).
If any work is proposed into May for the Surf City BB project, I will have to request formal
consultation w/ FWS.
*Also, what is happening with the debris removal request? I think Jason was working this one. Sorry
to cross projects, but figured I might as well ask about it since we are talking about Surf City.
Hope this is helpful and thank you!

Heather,
This area is within our ER 20-0050 review area. We would have no objection to the project as
proposed with the standard inadvertent discovery caution for previously unknown timbers that
may have washed up and become buried. If official comments are needed, this can be sent
through the ER portal for review and signed letter.
Best,

Good Morning Heather -
Please see attached Minor Modification request for permit 190-05 to not only continue
with the renewal of the Town's beach bulldozing permit but also allow for a small scale
dune rehabilitation project via truck haul this spring. I will bring a check by your office
today for $100 to cover the permit application fee. If you have any questions, please let
me know and as always THANK YOU for your help and hard work.
Jamie

Subject: Post Hurricane Florence Dune Restoration Permit Extension
Dear Heather Coats,
William J. Fowler, Councilman
Jeremy Shugarts, Councilman
Hugh Cannady, Councilman
The Town of Surf City is formally requesting an extension of the Surf City Beach Bulldozing
Permit 190-05 issued on October 28, 2019, for the purpose of post -storm dune reconstruction. This
additional two-year permit includes:
a. Major Development in an Area of Environmental Concern pursuant to NCGS 113A-118
b. Excavation and/or filling pursuant to NCGS 113-229
The post -Florence emergency berm project has been completed. There has been no change in plans since
the original permit issuance and no change in ownership. Additionally, if the permit is renewed, any future
work will be conducted in compliance within the scope of the original permit and in accordance with permit
conditions.
The permit modification is requested to encompass the entirety of the Surf City oceanfront dune system,
which will be shown on a map provided.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Kyle M. Breuer

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.
This Water Quality Certification neither grants nor affirms any property right, license, or privilege in any
lands or waters, or any right of use in any waters. This Water Quality Certification does not authorize
any person to interfere with the riparian rights, littoral rights, or water use rights of any other person
and does not create any prescriptive right or any right of priority regarding any usage of water. This
Water Quality Certification shall not be interposed as a defense in any action respecting the
determination of riparian or littoral rights or other rights to water use. No consumptive user is deemed
by virtue of this Water Quality Certification to possess any prescriptive or other right of priority with
respect to any other consumptive user.
Upon the presentation of proper credentials, the Division may inspect the property.
This Water Quality Certification shall expire on the same day as the expiration date of the corresponding
Section 404 Permit. The conditions shall remain in effect for the life of the project, regardless of the
expiration date of this Water Quality Certification.

Repair dune system Damaged during Hurricane Ophelia and Hurricane Florence, Pender and
Onslow County, ER 05-2575
Thank you for your September 19, 2023, submission concerning the above -referenced project. We have
reviewed the project and offer the following comments.
Our files indicate two archaeological sites located along Surf City (NTB-North Topsail Beach) beaches:
Surf City Beach Wreck (NTB0001) and a museum timber (NTB0002). The Museum Timber (NTB0002)
was removed from the beach zone by Public Works employees in 1999 and is of no concern.
NT130001 is thought to be the wreck of the William H. Sumner, driven ashore in 1919 and discovered in
1999. It is located eighty yards north of the old Barnacle Bill's Fishing Pier. About thirteen yards separates
the exposed wreckage from the existing dune line. GPS coordinates place the approximate position of the
site at North 34 deg. 25.948 min. and West 77 deg. 31.904 min. or approximately one -mile northeast of the
Surf City water tower.
The wreckage is usually deeply buried under many feet of sand and may not be affected by the additive
efforts of dune reconstruction.
Due to the low concentration of any other known wreck sites in the project area, we concur that the project
proceeds as planned, with the condition that you reference the following paragraph regarding beach wrecks
and take caution when operating in the vicinity of NTB0001.
It is our opinion that the beach bulldozing operations may encounter unknown remains of vessels,
lost along the North Carolina coast, that have washed up on shore and been buried over the last 450
years. While the archaeological and historical record does not support a recommendation for an
archaeological survey of the entire beach area, we would like your agency, its affiliates, and the
equipment operators to be aware that the possibility exists that this work may unearth a beached
shipwreck. If such occurs, work should move to another area and the Underwater Archaeology

DATE: September 15, 2023
SUBJECT: CAMA Dredge/Fill Permit Renewal for Town of Surf City, #190-05, Pender / Onslow
Counties, North Carolina.
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) reviewed the permit
renewal with regard to impacts on fish and wildlife resources. The project site is located along the
Atlantic Ocean shoreline within the limits of the Town of Surf City. Our comments are provided in
accordance with provisions of the Coastal Area Management Act (G.S. 113A-100 through 113A-128), as
amended, Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act, as amended, the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as
amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.), the Magnuson -Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act
(FCMA), as amended (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. 703-712 et
seq.).
Surf City is proposing to renew Permit # 190-05 that allows traditional beach bulldozing methods along its
managed ocean shoreline. Material would be pushed from the mean low low water line landward along
the beach profile at -1' below grade to even out escarpments and rebuild the existing dune system as
needed. During the initial and subsequent reviews of this proposal, this activity is proposed to occur only
on a small scale to provide immediate repair to badly damaged dune systems after coastal storms and
between large scale nourishment events. It is assumed this is the continued management practice.
The NCWRC participated in previous project reviews and understands the concern Surf City has
regarding beach erosion. We appreciate the proposed project standing as an island wide permit and
project area rather than left to individual property owners.
As mentioned previously, continued disturbance from beach bulldozing can have an adverse impact to the
benthic community and therefore the foraging habitat of shore and water birds. Population numbers of
worms, crabs, and other micro fauna are lowered after such events; therefore, beach bulldozing should

only occur on an as needed basis and not as a regular maintenance activity, perhaps being triggered by a
set slope or shore grade based on the model used in the island's coastal storm damage reduction plan.
The NCWRC does not object to permit renewal provided all conditions in Permit #190-05, including the
April 1 — November 15 moratorium, remain. These dates encompass both the shorebird and sea turtle
nesting moratoria and would provide protection for federally and state protected species such as piping
plover (Charadruis melodus), rufa red knot (Calidris canutus rufa) and the Kemp's ridley (Lepidochelys
kempi), leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea), loggerhead (Caretta caretta), and green (Chelonia mydas)
sea turtles. In the event of emergencies during this time, consultation with the US Fish and Wildlife
Service and the NCWRC should be initiated to determine the best response to minimize impacts to these
resources.
We appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on this permit modification. If you need further
assistance or additional information, please contact me at [e-mail] or [phone].
