BISER Secretary TANCRED MILLER Director NORTH CAROLINA Environmental Quality CERTIFIED MAIL #7018 3090 0000 0969 2253 ALSO DELIVERED BY EMAIL TO: doug@vesta.earth 5/29/2024 Vesta North Carolina, PBLLC 584 Castro St. #2054 San Francisco, CA 94114 RE. NOTICE OF REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS CASE #24-16 Dear Mr. Edwards: This letter confirms that on May 16, 2024, Heather Coats of the Division of Coastal Management (DCM) was notified by the applicant, through their agent CPE, of the initial deployment error of the Olivine Sand project off Duck, in Dare County, North Carolina. In summary, the initial deployment of approximately 1,900cy olivine sand missed the target Deployment Area by approximately 600 feet to the southeast and was outside the Deployment Corridor by approximately 180 feet to the east. The material was deployed in approximately -28 feet NAVD88 to a reported height of 6.9 feet above the bottom. This location is waterward of the authorized Deployment Area and Deployment Corridor. The applicant has provided an account of the deployment and a location map is attached to this notice. To remedy this error, Vesta has revised the deployment methodology. The revised deployment and quality control plan is attached to this notice. For reference, the "Deployment Area" is defined as the approximately 300ft x 2,220ft box and the "Deployment Corridor" as the approximately 670ft x 4,970ft box. In summary, Vesta has committed to the following. 1. Deployments will take place between 9am and 5pm. uwM.�v au.w..miwm� /� North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Coastal Management Wilmington Office 1 127 Cardinal Drive Extension I Wilmington, North Carolina 28405 910.796.7215 Page 2 of 3 2. A second tug will be used on all deployments to control the scow and assist with accuracy within the "Deployment Area". 3. Prior to any deployment, the captain will perform a deployment checklist and "dry run'. Only after a successful "dry run" will the tugs and scow reset and attempt the deployment. 4. An entrance corridor will be established and, if missed, the deployment will be aborted and the vessels will reset for a separate attempt. 5. If the criteria outlined in the deployment methodology are not met, the deployment will be aborted to wait for more favorable conditions. As part of the STOP WORK ORDER that was conveyed verbally to CPE on May 24, 2024, the DCM requested following information. 1. A revised Monitoring Plan that includes a comprehensive breakdown of each monitoring element that will be conducted and not conducted on the material deployed outside the "Deployment Area". Provided as Additional Information Response dated 5/24/24. 2. A more detailed after -deployment survey of the deployment relative to the "Deployment Area", "Deployment Corridor", and profile and area of the material. Provided as Sheets 1-6 of 6, all dated 5/16/24. To satisfy the requirement to monitor the deployment area, the DCM has determined that additional sediment grab samples and bathymetry surveys, in addition to the wave climate and tides data collection, shall be conducted at the error deployment location. These additional requirements shall be accomplished in accordance with the previously authorized and established monitoring schedule. Furthermore, the DCM would like to stress the importance of the following: 1. Condition No. 1 of the permit, issued as amended on 1/5/24, requires the project be carried out in accordance with the approved workplans. 2. Condition No. 7 of the permit, issued as amended on 1/5/24, that no material be placed outside of the final project plans. DCM reminds the applicant that to remain in compliance with the conditions of the permit, all material must be placed within the area known as the `Deployment Area", as depicted on the authorized workplans, and that any expansion shall require additional authorization. This does not authorize the permittee or their duly authorized agent(s) to modify the 'Deployment Area" or "Deployment Corridor", or any reason, without authorization from the DCM. D_EQ�� Trw.�uaw� North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Coastal Management Wilmington Office 1 127 cardinal Drive Extension I Wilmington, North Carolina 28405 910.796.7215 Page 3 of 3 3. The permittee is strongly reminded that previous placement of material within or outside the permitted "Deployment Area" does not authorize material to be placed in such a manner that would make it inconsistent with the conditions of the permit. If previous material placement does not allow remaining material to be placed within the "Deployment Area" due to issues such as, but not limited to vessel clearance restrictions, that material shall not be placed until such time as DCM has reviewed and authorized any modification to the project area. 4. The permittee is strongly reminded that any further errors with material placement outside of the authorized "Deployment Area" may result in a formal NOTICE OF VIOLATION that may include civil penalties and may require remediation of the site, including removal or relocation of materials, at the permittee's sole cost. 5. The permittee shall notify the DCM after each deployment to verify its location relative to the "Deployment Area" and "Deployment Corridor". NO WORK MAY PROCEED UNTIL DCM HAS RELEASED THE ACTIVITY IN WRITING. Continuation of work after receipt of this Notice would constitute a violation of the CAMA and Dredge and Fill, and you may be subject to civil and/or criminal penalties as provided by N.C.G.S. §113A-126. Each day that the development described in this Notice is continued or repeated may constitute a separate violation that is subject to an additional assessment of $10,000. An injunction or criminal penalty may also be sought to enforce any violation in accordance with N.C.G.S. §113A-126. Provided you comply voluntarily with this Notice and all permit conditions henceforth, no further enforcement action or civil assessment would be necessary beyond this Notice. Thank you for your time and cooperation in resolving this important matter. The relevant statutes and regulations are available from this office, and I am willing to assist you in complying with the requirements of these laws. A site inspection may be required to confirm this STOP WORK ORDER has been complied with.

Vesta is reminded again that work must comply with the permitted deployment area boundaries, all permit conditions and all commitments made in the application and monitoring plan. And that deployment of the olivine material shall not in any case exceed a total volume of 7,000 cubic yards. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Good Afternoon Heather, After speaking with you on the phone late this afternoon and conveying DCM’s position to Vesta, Vesta has agreed to modify the proposed plan described in the email below to align with DCM’s recommendation to collect the grab samples outside the deployment Area every other month. As you can imagine, Vesta would like to close the loop on this and get a formal notice from DCM that the Stop Work Order has been released as soon as possible. Assuming we receive this release tomorrow morning, we anticipate the next deployment would occur on Friday May 31. Please feel free to reach out to Doug or I with any additional questions.

Consistent with the original monitoring plan, analyses of the grab samples will include mineralogy via XRF and/or VIS-IR spectroscopy to indicate the presence/absence of olivine at the sediment surface to augment the obvious bathymetric expression of the olivine berm. We propose to collect the additional bathymetric surveys monthly and the additional grab samples outside the Deployment Area on a quarterly basis, which we believe is sufficient to track the movement of sand from the first load of sand outside the Deployment Area and compare these results with loads of sand within the Deployment Area. Our ability to collect these additional grab samples is logistically limited by the availability of sampling time aboard FRF- contracted watercraft. The solution proposed above helps to optimize scientific return without exhausting available sampling resources and still achieves the intent of the sediment sampling to determine the spatial distribution of olivine from the placement site and its transport pathways through time.

Doug, the hard copy will also be sent to you by mail. Please note that we are requiring additional monitoring (bathymetric surveys and sediment grab samples) be performed in the recent deployment area as stated in the letter. We do need written confirmation that Vesta will comply with this request to perform the additional monitoring along (& in accordance) with the other required monitoring before we can suspend the stop work order and authorize the deployment of any additional material. Please let me know if you have any questions.

I apologize for the delay getting this information to you. While submittal of this response comes later than initially anticipated, extensive consideration and coordination between Vesta and its contractor as well as their subs was necessary to adequately capture the relevant details and provide the assurances requested by your agencies that the project can continue as permitted. Vesta feels that the team has identified the factors that lead to the placement of the first load outside the targeted area and have come up with corrective measures designed to improve the accuracy of the remaining loads. We recognize that it is a holiday weekend and that you will need some time to review this. That being said, Vesta would like to take advantage of an excellent weather window forecasted for early next week. If possible, please read through this and get in touch should you have any questions or concerns as soon as you are able to do so. The team would be happy to hop on a call tomorrow, if need be.

Josh and Heather, Vesta fully appreciates your concerns and is committed to providing you with the information requested in Josh’s email below as soon as possible. We are working on drafting a comprehensive response now; however, it may not be submitted until early next week. In the meantime, construction operations have been halted and will not re-commence until a revised plan has been developed and reviewed with you. Additionally, we have received preliminary results from the post-deployment bathymetric survey. As the majority of the sand was deployed outside of the designed deployment area, we do not have pre-deployment bathymetric survey data where the olivine sand lies, but the surveyor provided information which indicates a maximum height of 6.9 feet. We haven't independently verified this but will do so soon. We will continue to keep you in the loop as more information is being gathered.

Good afternoon Heather and Josh, This morning, Vesta deployed their first load of olivine sand (~1,900 cy) off the coast of Duck, NC operating under CAMA Major Permit #01-24 and Dept. of Army Permit #SAW-2022-01747. The scow entered the Deployment Area at approximately 11:30am. The scow doors were opened at 11:35; however, the material did not immediately deploy. Six minutes later, at approximately 11:41, the material was fully deployed. By that time, however, the scow had moved approximately 600 ft to the southeast of the targeted Deployment Area and 180 ft east of the Permitted Deployment Corridor within an area approximating -28 NAVD88 (see attached figure). All pre- and post- construction monitoring requirements have been implemented including a post-construction bathymetric survey. We anticipate having the full survey data available for review tomorrow. We will reach out as soon as we have the data and would appreciate the opportunity for a call to discuss. We are developing a plan to ensure the next load is accurately deployed within the Deployment Corridor.
