9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Town of North Topsail Beach is located on the northern end of Topsail Island in Onslow county. The
project location is the entire beach strand from the Surf City Town Limits north to the New River Inlet, adjacent
to the Atlantic Ocean, in North Topsail Beach, Onslow County. North Topsail Beach received severe erosion to
the dune system during Hurricane Ophelia. The Town lost approximately 20' —70' of their protective dunes and
there are 12 breaches in the dune system. At minimum the Town lost the waterward '/2 of the dunes. There is an
average erosion escarpment of 13' along the remaining dune system. The existing vegetation on the remaining
dunes consists mostly of American Beachgrass (Ammophilia breviligulata), Seaoats (Uniola paniculata), and
Bitter panicum (Panicum amarulum).
The North Topsail Beach Land Use Plan classifies the upland areas of this project as Developed. The waters of
the project site are classified as SB by the NC Division of Water Quality. The NC Division of Marine Fisheries
has NOT designated this area of the Atlantic Ocean as a Primary Nursery Area, and the waters adjacent to the
proposed project are closed to the harvesting of shellfish.
PROPOSED PROJECT:
The Town of North Topsail Beach is proposing to rebuild dunes in the areas where breaches have occurred by
trucking in beach compatible sand at an average rate of 12 cubic yards per linear foot and also sifting 2,100
cubic feet of sand in storage that was removed from the roadways after Ophelia. They are also proposing to
bulldoze sand from mean low water(MLW) landward to the existing erosion escarpments to repair the dune
system to its original profile. They propose to restore the dunes to heights ranging from 12' to 15' from the
existing level of the dry sand beach with a 2:1 slope.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The proposed project will impact approximately 63 acres of the dry sand beach and the inter-tidal zone. Of this
area the dry sand beach is approximately 11.6 miles long and, of the date of this report, averages approximately
20' in width, or approximately 28 acres. The remainder of the 63-acre project area is within the inter-tidal zone.
The push will result in the relocation of approximately 128,900 cubic yards of sand from the unvegetated beach
to the dune system.

MEMORANDUM
To: Doug Huggett
From: Mike Christenbury, District Planner
Subject: Consistency Determination, Surf City(fender County) and North
Topsail Beach(Onslow County)
Date: December 5, 2005
Description: Beach Bulldozing
Location: Oceanfront in Surf City and North Topsail Beach
I have reviewed the proposals for consistency with the Towns of Surf City and North
Topsail Beach Land Use Plans and offer the following comments.
In general, Surf City and North Topsail Beach allows development in Conservation
classified AECs which is consistent with the State's minimum use standards. The Town
of Surf City Land Use Plan and the Town of North Topsail Beach Land Use Plan
contains some policies, which exceed the State's minimum use standards. However,
none of these policies appear to be applicable to this project.
Provided all local, state and federal requirements can be met,these projects appear
to be consistent with the Town of North Topsail Beach Land Use Plan Update.

Subject: Action ID #200600087, Town of North Topsail Beach, Onslow County,NC
Dear Mr. Wicker:
This letter provides the comments of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service(Service) on the subject
Public Notice (PN), dated November 22, 2005. The applicant, the Town of North Topsail Beach,
has applied for a Department of the Army(DA) permit to create a sand dike using truck-hauled
sand, sand previously washed inland, and sand bulldozed off both the existing dry and intertidal
beach. These comments are submitted in accordance with the Fish and Wildlife Coordination
Act (FWCA) (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d). Comments related to the FWCA
are to be used in your determination of compliance with 404(b)(1) guidelines (40 CFR 230) and
in your public interest review(33 CFR 320.4) in relation to the protection of fish and wildlife
resources. Additional comments are provided regarding 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).
Project Area and Purpose of Action
The Town of North Topsail Beach is located on the northern ten miles of Topsail Island, a north-
south barrier islands on the Atlantic Ocean. Pilkey et al. (1998, p. 171)note that Topsail Island
has a troublesome geologic setting along its entire length. The island is very narrow and flat
with no significant area higher than the 500-year flood elevation. Most of the island lies within
the 100-year floodplain. Hurricane Hazei which struck the southern North Carolina coast in
1954 generated a storm surge of 9.5 feet on the island which has an average elevation of nine
feet (Pilkey et al. 1998,p. 171). A 1987 evaluation by the North Carolina Department of
Emergence Management indicated that the island would be largely underwater in a category 1 or
2 hurricane and would be completely submerged in a category 3 hurricane (Pilkey et al. 1998,p.
173).
Barnes (1998,pp. 184-187) describes the damage on the island created by Hurricane Fran, a
category 3 storm, in September 1996. After the protective dunes were washed away by
Hurricane Bertha in July 1996, there was little to slow the ten-foot storm surge. The tide which

• 2
swept over the island lifted entire cottages and floated them hundreds of yards into the marsh.
Six new inlets were carved across the island.
The PN states that the sand barrier was damaged by Hurricane Ophelia in mid-September 2005.
Approximately 20 to 70 feet of the barrier was lost and 12 breaches were created. The area lost
at least half the waterward portion of the sand dike and there is an escarpment averaging 13 feet
along the remaining portion.
The PN notes that the stated purpose is for protection against storm events. However, there is no
discussion of what resources require protection. Many of the homes in the project area are well
elevated on pilings. The PN does not indicate whether any resources are imminently threatened.
Proposed Actions
As a linear embankment of small rocks (sand) meant to block the movement of water(the
Atlantic Ocean), the proposed structure functions as, and is consistent with the definition of, a
dike. The natural location of any primary dune line would be landward of the sand dike since
global sea level rise produces "island migration", a natural process "by which the islands avoid
being drowned by the encroaching sea" (Pilkey et al. 1998, p. 41). Pilkey et al. (2004, p. 43)
state that sand piles created by bulldozers on Topsail Island are sand-dike features rather than
dunes because they "lack all the characteristics of natural dunes." For example, these piles lack
well-sorted and stratified sand that supports the growth of stabilizing dune grasses. It has been
suggested that Topsail Island has never had a large, continuous dune system(Pilkey et al. 2004,
p. 44), and natural dunes are absent or low and discontinuous between New River Inlet and the
Highway 210 Bridge (Pilkey et al. 1998, p. 172, 175). Therefore, the proposed sand placements
and bulldozed sand would not produce a dune system in the location dictated by current sea
level. Furthermore, the proposed structure would not have the geologic characteristics of natural
dunes and does not attempt to replicate the natural habitat features of a barrier island sand dune.
The work does not represent dune restoration, but is more accurately a form of dike construction.
The applicant seeks to rebuild the sand dike to its pre-storm dimensions. The material would
come from three sources. First,material would be truck-hauled from a commercial facility,
Riverside Sand, in Wallace,North Carolina. This material would only be placed above the high
tide line. The PN states that truck-hauled sand would be placed at a rate of 12 cubic yards (cy)
per linear foot. Information in the PN indicates that 11 breaches totaling 370 feet would receive
truck-hauled sand. Our calculations find that approximately 4,400 cy(12 X 370) of inland sand
would be imported to the site. Second, 2,100 cy of sifted sand which was removed from
roadways after Hurricane Ophelia would be used. Sand trucked to the site would presumably be
used to fill 11 breaches specified in the PN. Third, 11 areas would employ bulldozing, or
employ"pushing," to move sand from the mean low water(MLW) line landward to escarpment
areas. Bulldozing is expected to result in the "relocation" of approximately 128,900 cy of
material. The PN does not specify a limit to the depth of sand which could be scraped from the
beach and pushed landward to form the dike. The project is anticipated to impact a total of 63
acres of beach, 28 acres of dry sand beach and 35 acres of intertidal beach.

3
Issues of Sediment Compatibility
While no material is proposed for beach placement, sand placed on the dike can be expected to
move onto the beach. Since natural beaches provide important habitat for wildlife resources, the
Service is concerned that material directly or indirectly entering barrier island beaches should not
alter the major physical characteristics of these habitats. The important physical characteristics
include sand grain size, density, shear resistance (a factor in beach hardness), color, heavy
mineral content, and moisture content.
While the proposed sand dike may not replicate a nature dune, the material in this structure
would become part of the natural sand sharing system. The material in a natural dune, or
artificial dike, serves as a sand reservoir for the beach. A natural dune represents a"sand bank"
and beaches rely on the dynamics of the dunes for sustenance (Pilkey et al. 2004,p. 37). Dunes
are a primary source of sand to maintain the beaches. Scarps seen at the toe of a dune after a
storm are evidence that waves have distributed sand from the dune to the beach (Pilkey et al.
2004,p. 38). In this regard,material used for the dike should be similar to that of the native
beach since it will eventually be incorporated into the beach. Therefore,the physical
characteristics of the truck-hauled material must be evaluated for potential impacts for all species
occupying the beach waterward of the dike.
The PN contains a one-page Laboratory Sieve Analysis from Contractors &Engineers Services,
Inc. The analysis contains the result of grain size analysis, designated by a single sample
number, of material from Riverside Sand Co. We have also reviewed the supplemental
information from Mr. Steve Padgett,Building Inspector for the Town of Surf City,which you
provided by e-mail on December 6, 2005. This information describes the handling of material at
the Riverside Sand in Chinquapin, near Wallace in Duplin County. First, all topsoil is removed
from the area. The sand is then dug and loaded on to trucks and hauled to a conveyor. The sand
is loaded on the conveyor where it is run through screens and washed to get the right grain size.
It then goes onto a screw where it is sorted more and washed again. It comes out of a chute and
is loaded into trucks and hauled to the disposal site. These procedures would appear to yield a
fairly uniform product which should be free of organic material.
The Service seeks to ensure that sediment placements on potential sea turtle nesting sites, or
which may be transported to such sites, have the physical characteristics supporting nest
construction and successful incubation. One important characteristic is grain size. The grain
size analysis included in the PN shows that 82.2% of the material passed through a#30 sieve
(grain size 0.59 mm), 36.6%passed through a#50 sieve (0.30 mm), and 0.3%passed through a
#200 sieve (0.075 mm). Much of this material with a grain size in the range of 0.3 to 0.6 mm
can be considered as medium sand.
Recent work associated with permitting of a beach construction effort for North Topsail Beach
has collected data on beach characteristics. The composite grain size from 12 sampling stations
was 0.24 mm(Coastal Planning and Engineering, Inc. 2005,p. 22, Table 5.3.1). The truck-
hauled sand moving from the proposed dike onto the beaches is likely to introduce coarser
material, i.e., sand of larger grain size.

4
The Service has concerns about the color of the upland material proposed for beach construction.
Pilkey et al. (2004,p. 113) state that all natural North Carolina open beaches are light brown to
yellow-brown when viewed from a distance due to iron oxide in shell fragments. Your e-mail
also included two photographs comparing the color of the Riverside sand to sand from Surf City,
material likely to be very similar to that of North Topsail Beach. The color of the two sand
samples appears similar.
Specific concerns related to sediment compatibility for the various fish and wildlife resources in
the project area will be presented below. However, the proposed dike is not likely to replicate
the natural sediment characteristics of a natural dune. Dune sand is consistently finer grained
than that of the adjacent beach due to the facts that dune are built from sand blown landward
from the beach and the wind generally picks up the smaller sand grains and leave the larger
grains behind(Pilkey et al. 2004,p. 18). If the existing beach consists of sand in the range of
0.24 mm, the natural dune behind the beach would be expected to have smaller-grained sand.
Furthermore, the proposed dike would not have consecutive layers of windblown sand which
create the unique type of layering or stratification called"wind cross-bedding" (Pilkey et al.
2004,p. 47). Natural dune stratification usually consists of hundreds of very thin, alternating
layers of quartz sand, shell fragment sand, heavy mineral sand, and some layer of all three sand
types.
Issues of Work Scheduling
The second major concern of the Service is the scheduling of the work. The IN does not discuss
a work schedule. However, an article ("North Topsail Might Get a Little Bit of Duplin County")
by Garth McGrath published in the Wilmington StarNews on November 25, 2005, reports that
the town hopes to have the material in place before the"heart of winter storm season starts,
usually in late January." Scheduling concerns for specific fish and wildlife resources are
presented below.
Federally Protected Species
The Service has reviewed available information on federally-threatened or endangered species
known to occur in Onslow County. The species protected by the ESA that are most likely to be
affected by the proposed work are the loggerhead sea turtle(Caretta caretta), green sea turtle
(Chelonia mydas), Atlantic Coast population of the piping plover(Charadrius melodus), and
seabeach amaranth (Amaranthus pumilus).
Seabeach amaranth, an annual plant, exists adjacent to inlets, along beaches between dunes and
the high tide line, and in areas of extreme overwash. The plant helps to trap sand and build
dunes. The species is listed as threatened by both the federal government and the State of North
Carolina. While any plants which germinated during 2005 have gone to seed, both the
placement of truck-hauled sand and beach bulldozing would be harmful to seabeach amaranth
seeds which would germinate in 2006,usually from April to July. The work would bury seeds
currently in the area and prevent germination. However, it is likely that the buried seeds would
be viable when the sand in the proposed dike flows back to the beaches or the alongshore
transport system. While the proposed work may be detrimental in the short-term, it is not likely

5
to have a long-term adverse effect on seabeach amaranth.
Piping plovers (Charadrius melodus) of the Atlantic Coast population, designated as federally
threatened, are known to occur in the project area. Piping plovers nest above the high tide line
on coastal beaches; on sand flats at the ends of sand spits and barrier islands; on gently sloping
foredunes; in blowout areas behind primary dunes (overwashes); in sparsely vegetated dunes;
and in overwash areas cut into or between dunes. The species requires broad, open, sand flats for
feeding, and undisturbed flats with low dunes and sparse dune grasses for nesting. Piping
plovers from the federally endangered Great Lakes population as well birds from the threatened
populations of the Atlantic Coast and Northern Great Plains overwinter on North Carolina
beaches.
Piping plovers arrive on their breeding grounds in late March or early April. Following
establishment of nesting territories and courtship rituals,the pair forms a depression in the sand
generally on the upper beach close to the dunes(or in other shoreline habitats depending on the
portion of the range). This is where the female will lay her eggs. By early September both
adults and young will have departed for their wintering areas. To avoid adverse impacts to
piping plover nesting, work on the beach should not occur between April 1 and August 31. The
Service recommends that all beach work should occur outside the recognized piping plover
nesting season.
The Service has designated critical habitat for wintering populations of the species along the
North Carolina coast. The only critical habitat on Topsail Island is at the southern end of the
island. Based on our review of the PN, the proposed work would not include designated piping
plover critical habitat.
The Service believes that sea turtles are ubiquitous nesters along the coast of North Carolina and
that nesting habitat is present within the proposed project area. While all five Atlantic sea turtles
are protected by the ESA and may occur in the coastal waters of North Carolina, we believe that
section 7 can be limited to a consideration of the loggerhead and green sea turtles, both of which
are listed as threatened.
Sediment placement and bulldozing on the beach may have both direct and indirect impacts on
sea turtle reproduction. Such work during the sea turtle nesting and incubation season(May 1
through November 15)may result in the burial or crushing of nests or hatchlings. Reproduction
is also diminished through the disruption of nesting activity by heavy equipment working on the
beach. Such direct impacts can be avoided by scheduling all beach work during the period from
November 16 through April 30.
Beach construction can result in long-term, secondary adverse impacts on sea turtle reproduction.
Such impacts are associated with the use of material which has physical characteristics which are
significantly different from the natural, historic beach. While the truck-hauled sand would be
used for a dike, this material can be expected to move down to the dry beach used for sea turtle
nesting. Sand is often moved from the upper beach to the lower beach by storm waves, a process
that flattens the beach (Pilkey et al. 2004, p. 34).

6
The color and organic content of beach sediments can modify nest temperatures and the nutrient
environment,which can result in an altered sex ratio of the sea turtle hatchlings. In addition,
sediments that differ from those of the native beach can result in beach compaction which may
increase false crawls, increase nest digging time,hinder gas exchange within incubating nests,
alter the hydric environment of the nest, and result in broken eggs from clutches deposited in an
egg chamber which is too shallow.
Overall, the proposed work has the potential to adversely affect piping plover and both
loggerhead and green sea turtles. However, several measures can be employed to reduce any
adverse impacts to a level which would not be significant. These measures include:
1. Ensuring that all sediment imported to, and placed on, the beach is similar to the historic,
native beach in sand grain size, density, shear resistance, heavy mineral content, and moisture
content. This conservation measure requires that the assessment of the physical characteristics of
the existing beach does not reflect sediment placements of the past, but is an accurate description
of the native beach which is essential to normal sea turtle reproduction.
2. Ensuring that the color of the imported material closely matches the color of the historic,
native beach. Material to be imported for beach construction should be evaluated by an objective
criterion, such as the Munsell Soil Color Chart, and compared with sediment of placement area
or a nearby beach which represents the historic beach color;
3. Prohibiting the placement of sediment and beach grading during the piping plover nesting
season (April 1 through July 15);
4. Prohibiting the placement of sediment and beach grading during the sea turtle nesting season
(May 1 through November 15); and,
5. The applicant should take the necessary measures to ensure that escarpments which may
development from the high tide line to the base of the dike do not block access of sea turtles
from potential nest sites. As noted, removal of material in the intertidal zone may reduce the
width of the beach until a natural equilibrium slope is reestablished. The reduced beach width
can allow stronger waves to strike the upper beach and dike. This higher wave energy may
produce escarpments. Any such escarpments should be eliminated prior to the start of the sea
turtle nesting season, May 1.
The inclusion of specific permit conditions addressing these issues would result in a project
which is not likely to adverse affect the federally protected species which are likely to occur in
the project area. With such permit conditions, the Service would concur with a determination by
the District Engineer that the proposed actions are not likely to adversely affect threatened or
endangered species under our jurisdiction or their designated critical habitat. The requirements
of section 7 of the Endangered Species Act would be fulfilled. However, section 7 would need
to be reconsidered if. (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may
affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered; (2)this action is
subsequently modified in a manner which was not considered in this review; or, (3) a new
species is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the identified action.

Service Concerns and Recommendations for General Fish and Wildlife Resources
In addition to federally protected species,the Service also has concerns about general fish and
wildlife resources that may be impacted by the proposed work. These include the potential for
harm to beach invertebrates which serve as a major food resource for shorebirds and nearshore
fishes. Many species of birds, including migratory shorebirds, occur on or near North Carolina
beaches (Pilkey et al. 2004,p. 125).
Of the two aspects of the proposed work, the placement of truck-hauled sand in dike breaches
(both inland sand and material from prior overwashes) and bulldozing to eliminate scarps, the
former is less likely to produce long-term environmental harm. A portion of the material to be
truck-hauled from Riverside Sand in Duplin County appears to have a larger grain size that the
existing beach material analyzed by CP&E this year. The imported sand certainly appears larger
than what might be expected in a natural dune. However,the imported material can still be
considered as medium to coarse sand and the limited amount of the placements (estimated at
4,400 cy) as breach fill may reduce any long-term adverse impacts of the placements. The use of
a very small amount of sifted sand from an earlier overwash should not create a major problem
of compatibility.
On the other hand, there is a concern that pushing, or scraping, 128,900 cy of sand from the 63
acres of beach into the dike to smooth away escarpments would produce more serious
environmental consequences. The short-term consequences of beach bulldozing on Bogue
Banks, northeast of Topsail Island, have been described by Peterson et al. (2000). One major
change produced by bulldozing on Bogue Banks was a reduction in the width of the intertidal
beach. Peterson et al. (2000,p. 373) found that the intertidal beach from the waterline at low tide
to the base of the major dune was reduced from 29 m(95 feet) in the area not bulldozed to 22 in
(72 feet) in the area bulldozed. As noted by Pilkey et al. (2004,p. 51) removing sand from the
beach and pushing it landward is a form of beach erosion. The reduction in the width of the
intertidal beach provides less habitat for beach invertebrates and may result in less food for
shorebirds and nearshore fishes.
Beach invertebrates live in the spaces between sand grains. The swash zone is dominated by
mole crab (Emerita talpoida) and coquina clam(Donax sp.)which serve as the primary prey
base for surf zone fish, crabs, and shorebirds. The health of the Emerita and Donax populations
is closely linked with the sediment characteristics of the beach, and the availability of natural sea
waters surging up and down the beach-face. Sediment grain size is extremely critical to mole
crabs because these organisms do not actually burrow into the beach as they change locations
within the swash zone, but rather vibrate their lower appendages and legs to create a "quicksand"
condition in their immediate area. This makes it easy for them to penetrate or burrow into the
sand with a minimum expenditure of energy. If the sand is too coarse, too fine, too well sorted,
or contains too many heavy minerals (dark sands), mole crabs find it difficult or impossible to
burrow into the beach. Similarly, significant alterations in beach-face sands have the potential to
impact Emerita numbers. If the proposed work reduces populations of beach invertebrates,
shorebirds and some near shore fishes would be adversely affected due to a reduction in food
resources.

8
Peterson et al. (2000, p. 375-76) discuss the impacts on beach macro-invertebrates on Bogue
Banks in July-August 1993 after of beach bulldozing in April 1993. While the work increased
the abundance of coquina clams, there was a 37%reduction in total mole crab abundance within
the bulldozed beach sections. These authors note that bulldozing may have affected the natural
cuspate morphology of the shoreline and thereby changed the habitat value for Emerita and
Donax.
Active ghost crab (Ocypode quadrata)burrows were, on average, 65% lower on the bulldozed
beach transects (Peterson et al. 2000,p. 375-76). This reduction was the consequence of an
almost complete elimination of ghost crab burrows from the face of the bulldozed dune and over
a 60%reduction on the lower beach. Almost half of ghost crab burrows on undisturbed beaches
occurred in the high beach, an area which became buried when bulldozing is done. The authors
note that the upper zone of the beach was converted by bulldozing from a gradually sloping
intertidal beach of fine sand sediment to a steeply sloping berm face composed of coarser,
shellier materials that were unconsolidated and incapable of holding a burrow. Peterson et al.
(2000,p. 376) found the natural berm face to be comprised of finer sediment, a condition also
stated by Pilkey et al. (2004, p. 49), less shell, and a greater degree of vegetative cover which
held the shape of excavations made by hand.
There is a concern about the ability of natural processes to restore the habitat value of beaches
scraped to form the dike. Peterson et al (2000,p. 372-373) found that bulldozed beaches on
Bogue Banks regained the topography, or elevation profiles, of unbulldozed beach (but with a
reduced width). However, these beaches were on the same island where material had been added
approximately three years earlier. Cleary (2001) states that much of the shoreline in southeastern
North Carolina is"sediment starved." It is uncertain whether the alongshore transport of
material would be sufficient to restore the sand pushed off the beaches.
The Service is concerned that the proposed bulldozing would have a greater impact on the beach
than currently estimated. If 63 acres of beach were bulldozed, this area would represent
2,744,280 square feet(ft). If this area was scarped to a depth of only one foot, then 2,744,280
cubic feet(ft) of material would be removed. Based on 27 ft3 in a cubic yard, this construction
plan involves 101,640 cy of material. This figure is much less than the 128,900 cy which the PN
states would be moved from the beach to the dike. Therefore, either a greater area would be
impacted or the 63 acres would be scraped to a depth of greater than one foot.
In light of these concerns and in order to preserve habitat values on the beach, the Service
suggests that beach bulldozing be eliminated as a form of dike repair and that truck-hauled sand
be used to construct an upland dike immediately inland from its present location. The remaining
portions of the existing dike would form the waterward side of the reconstructed protective
barrier. Heavy equipment could be used to form a more natural contour for the ocean facing
slope.
This plan would have the advantage of maintaining the existing width of the beach which serves
to reduce wave energy striking the dike. Constructing the dike with truck-hauled sand
immediately landward of its existing location would reduce our concern that the proposed

9
actions would be short-lived and require additional work in the near future. Pilkey et al. (1998,
p. 210) state that the simple bulldozing of beach sand into small mounds is highly ineffective as a
method of erosion control. These authors note that while bulldozing piles up sand, increasing the
height of the barrier, the process reduces the width of the beach, an effect observed by Peterson
et al. (2000,p. 373), and bring ocean water closer to threatened property. Artificial dunes erode
with much greater ease than natural dunes (Pilkey et al 2004,p. 50).
It is also noteworthy that the proposed work represents the exact opposite of standard beach
construction. Such construction normally proposes to add material to the beach in order to
protect development. The subject PN actually proposes to remove sediment from the beaches.
However, if the Corps public interest review should conclude that protection of the yet-to-be
specified development necessitates beach bulldozing, the permit should require the following
conditions:
1. No more than one foot of material, as measured from the pre-construction surface elevation,
should be pushed into the dike and no material is removed from below the mean low water line.
The latter feature is a design feature of the proposed work described in the PN. Such restrictions
would comply with current state regulations (15A NCAC 07K .0103). Pilkey et al. (1998,p.
210) state that bulldozing is often done waterward of the low tide line and to a depth greater than
one foot. Therefore, the permit should require measures to ensure compliance with these two
conditions, such as inspector(s) at the site during actual construction; and,
2. The work should occur during the winter months of December through March would
minimize harm to these organisms (Peterson 2000,p. 11). Such a schedule would also avoid the
combined periods when piping plovers and sea turtles are at greatest risk, April 1 through
November 15.
Summary
The Service does not oppose relatively minor repairs to upland dikes on barrier islands to
provide short-term protection for development. In fact,protective dikes built entirely in uplands
should not require a Corps permit and thus would not be subject to Service review except in
terms of impacts to federally listed species. Such dikes will become increasingly critical as the
sea surrounding the island rises and the island is prevented from moving landward. However, in
order for the Corps to do an adequate public interest review, there should be a description of the
development requiring protection. Such a description seems essential in formulating possible
alternatives such as the use of sand fencing to gradually build up the protective barrier.
Sand dikes built entirely on uplands will impact some wildlife resources,but would not impact
the very limited and productive area of the intertidal beach used by shorebirds and the upper
beach used for sea turtle nesting. As noted in this letter, scraping 128,900 cy of material off the
beaches may be detrimental to food resources of nearshore fish and shorebirds as well as sea
turtle nesting. In order to do an adequate public interest review, the Corps should have a clear
picture of the societal benefits to be derived. Such benefits can be weighed against the costs to
fish and wildlife resources.

10
Overall,the use of truck-hauled sand to fill breaches in the dike should not create serious, long-
term environmental impacts. The one-time use of an estimated of 4,400 cy of such material and
supplemental information on color and sediment processing suggest that this aspect of the work
would produce commensurately minor environmental impacts as the material moves onto the
beaches and eventually out into the ocean. Of course,the constructed.dike should not be
considered a natural dune. Natural dunes are characteristically small, or non-existent, on Topsail
Island.
As noted above, the relatively large-scale beach bulldozing represents a much greater threat to
the coastal resources of Topsail Island. For this reason we have suggested that this aspect of the
project be eliminated in favor of an upland,protective sand dike landward of the existing
structure built entirely with truck-hauled sand.
Regardless of the eventually permitted, there should be a clearly defined work schedule. For the
benefit of sea turtles, piping plovers, and important beach invertebrates,the work should occur
during the four-month period from December through March. The Service recommends that the
DA permit require that all sediment placement and grading be completed during the December
through March period. With regard to section 7, the Service has recommended five measures to
minimize adverse impact to federally listed species that are likely to occur in the project area.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to comment on this permit application. If you have

RE: Town of North Topsail Beach,Dune System Repair,CAMA Dredge and Fill Permit Application and
USACE Public Notice Action ID#200600087,Onslow County
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission(NCWRC)have reviewed the subject application for
impacts to wildlife and fishery resources. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and
Wildlife Coordination Act(48 Stat.401,as amended; 16 U.S.C.661 et.seq.),and Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean
Water Act(as amended).
The project is located adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean within the town limits of North Topsail Beach. The waters in this
area are NOT designated as a Primary Nursery Area(PNA)by the NC Division of Marine Fisheries.
The applicant proposes to rebuild dunes in the areas where breaches have occurred by trucking beach compatible sand at
an average of 12 cubic yards per linear foot and also sifting 2100 cubic feet of sand in storage that was removed from the
roadways after Hurricane Ophelia. They also propose to bulldoze(push)sand from mean low water(MLW)landward to
the existing erosion escarpments to repair the dune system to its original profile. The proposed restoration dune heights
range from 12 to 15 ft from the existing level of dry sand beach with a slope of 2:1. This project is anticipated to impact
approximately 28 acres of dry sand beach and 35 acres of intertidal beach. The pushing of sand will result in the
relocation of approximately 128,900 cubic yards of sand from the un-vegetated beach to the dune system.

North Topsail Beach Dune Repair 2 November 23,2005
We have the following concerns:
• Topsail Island,including the town of North Topsail Beach,is home to a rich diversity of fish and wildlife. Its
beaches provide nesting habitat for threatened and endangered species including sea turtles and ground-nesting
seabirds such as plovers and terns. Additionally,many species of birds forage year-round for living invertebrate
organisms within the intertidal zone. The relocation and death of these invertebrates by bulldozing them to the
dune system will eliminate their availability as prey to foraging seabirds until their populations are re-
established in the intertidal zone.
• Moratoria exist for construction activities on the beach for nesting sea turtles(May 1 —November 15)and
piping plovers(April 1-July 15). These must be observed.
• Overwash areas,especially those near inlets,are important to many species of shorebirds as nesting,foraging,
and/or loafing habitat. Lands adjacent to inlets,whether previously platted or not,should be protected from
development and preserved as conservation areas.
• There is a current mechanism that allows emergency beach construction activities to occur if homes are
imminently threatened by erosion or swell.The Town and individual property owners have already
exercised this mechanism. Hence,there does not appear to be a strong reason why this project should be
accomplished given the fact that the Town is currently developing a renourishment and shoreline protection
project.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this application. If you have any questions or require
additional information regarding these comments,please call me at(910)796-7436.

Of Engineers
Wilmington District Morehead City DCM
Issue Date: November 22, 2005
Comment Deadline: December 8, 2005
Corps Action ID #: 200600087
All interested parties are hereby advised that the Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers
(Corps) has received an application for work within jurisdictional waters of the United States.
Specific plans and location information are described below and shown on the attached plans.
This Public Notice and all attached plans are also available on the Wilmington District Web Site
at www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands
Applicant: Town of North Topsail Beach
2008 Loggerhead Court
North Topsail Beach, North Carolina 28460
Authority
The Corps will evaluate this application and a decide whether to issue, conditionally issue, or
deny the proposed work pursuant to applicable procedures of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899.
Location
The project site is located along the beach strand adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean from the
northern Surf City town limits to the New River Inlet, in North Topsail Beach, Onslow County,
North Carolina. See attached plans and drawings for specifics.
Existing Site Conditions
North Topsail Beach received severe erosion to the dune system during Hurricane Ophelia. The
Town lost approximately 20' to 70' of their protective dunes and there are presently12 breaches
in the dune system. At minimum the Town lost the waterward '/2 of the dunes. There is an
average erosion escarpment of 13' along the remaining dune system. The existing vegetation on
the remaining dunes consists mostly of American Beachgrass (Ammophilia breviligulata),
Seaoats (uniola paniculata), and Bitter panicum (Panicum amarulum).
Applicant's Stated Purpose
The Town of North Topsail Beach wants to rebuild the dune system to its original profile prior to
Hurricane Ophelia for protection against storm events.

Project Description
The Town of North Topsail Beach is proposing to rebuild dunes in areas where breaches have
occurred by trucking in beach compatible sand at an average rate of 12 cubic yards per linear
foot and also sifting 2,100 cubic feet of sand in storage that was removed
from the roadways after Hurricane Ophelia. The trucked in beach compatible sand will come
from Riverside Sand in Wallace,North Carolina. This sand will only be place above the high
tide line. See attached documents for sand analysis. They are proposing to bulldoze sand from
mean low water(MLW) landward to the existing erosion escarpments to repair the dune system
to its original profile. They propose to restore the dunes to heights ranging from 12' to 15' from
the existing level of the dry sand beach with a 2:1 slope.
The project will impact approximately 63 acres of the dry sand beach and the intertidal zone. Of
this area, the dry sand beach is approximately 11.6 miles long and averages approximately 20' in
width, or approximately 28 acres. The remainder of the 63-acre project area is within the inter-
tidal zone. The beach bulldozing will result in the relocation of approximately 128,900 cubic
yards of sand from the unvegetated beach to the dune system.
Other Required Authorizations
This notice and all applicable application materials are being forwarded to the appropriate State
agencies for review. The Corps will generally not make a final permit decision until the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) issues, denies, or waives State certification
required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (PL 92-500). The receipt of the application and
this public notice in the NCDWQ Central Office in Raleigh serves as application to the NCDWQ
for certification. A waiver will be deemed to occur if the NCDWQ fails to act on this request for
certification within sixty days of the date of the receipt of this notice in the NCDWQ Central
Office. Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed at
the NCDWQ Central Office, 401 Oversight and Express Permits Unit, 2321 Crabtree Boulevard,
Raleigh,North Carolina 27604-2260. All persons desiring to make comments regarding the
application for certification under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act should do so in writing
delivered to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ), 1650 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1650 Attention: Ms Cyndi Karoly (all other projects)by
December 13, 2005.
The applicant has not provided to the Corps, a certification statement that his/her proposed
activity complies with and will be conducted in a manner that is consistent with the approved
North Carolina Coastal Zone Management Program. Pursuant to 33 CFR 325.2(b)(2),the Corps
can not issue a permit for the proposed work until the applicant submits such a certification to
the Corps and the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM), and the NCDCM
notifies the Corps that it concurs with the applicant's consistency certification.
Essential Fish Habitat
This notice initiates the Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) consultation requirements of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. The Corps' initial determination
2

is that the proposed project may adversely impact EFH or associated fisheries managed by the
South Atlantic or Mid Atlantic Fishery Management Councils or the National Marine Fisheries
Service. These impacts to EFH include destruction of habitat at the fill site, siltation plums,
erosion and sedimentation issues, time frame work is performed(fish moratoriums) and water
quality issues.
Cultural Resources
The Corps has consulted the latest published version of the National Register of Historic Places
and is not aware that any registered properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion
therein are located within the project area or will be affected by the proposed work. Presently,
unknown archeological, scientific, prehistoric, or historical data may be located within the
project area and/or could be affected by the proposed work.
Endangered Species
The Corps has reviewed the project area, examined all information provided by the applicant and
consulted the latest North Carolina Natural Heritage Database. Based on available information,
the Corps has determined there may be species listed as threatened or endangered or their critical
habitat formally designated pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA) within the
project area. A final determination on the effects of the proposed project will be made upon
additional review of the project and completion of any necessary biological assessment and/or
consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and/or National Marine Fisheries Service.
Evaluation
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable impacts,
including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity on the public interest. That decision will
reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization of important resources. The
benefit which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced against
its reasonably foreseeable detriments. All factors which may be relevant to the proposal will be
considered including the cumulative effects thereof, among those are conservation, economics,
aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, historic properties, fish and wildlife
values, flood hazards, flood plain values (in accordance with Executive Order 11988), land use,
navigation, shoreline erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation,water
quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of
property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving
the discharge of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, the evaluation of the
impact of the activity on the public interest will include application of the Environmental
Protection Agency's 404(b)(1) guidelines.
Commenting Information
The Corps is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State and local agencies and officials;
Indian Tribes and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this
proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps to determine
3

whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal. To make this decision,
comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic properties, water quality,
general environmental effects and the other public interest factors listed above. Comments are
used in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an Environmental Impact
Statement(EIS)pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act(NEPA). Comments are also
used to determine the need for a public hearing and to determine the overall public interest of the
proposed activity.
Any person may request, in writing,within the comment period specified in this notice, that a
public hearing be held to consider the application. Requests for public hearings shall state,with
particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing. Requests for a public hearing shall be
granted, unless the District Engineer determines that the issues raised are insubstantial or there is
otherwise no valid interest to be served by a hearing.

Dear Ms. Carbone:
The Division of Coastal Management through a cooperative agreement with the Division of Water Quality
has reviewed your CAMA major permit application to determine if a stormwater management permit
would be required from the Division of Water Quality. The review of the plans and specifications has
determined that the development activities proposed at this time will not pose a threat to surface water
quality from stormwater runoff. The Director of the Division of Water Quality has determined that projects
that are reviewed and approved by the Division of Water Quality as not posing a water quality threat from
stormwater runoff should not be subject to the stormwater management permitting requirements of 15A
NCAC 21-1.1000. By copy of this letter, we are informing you that your project will not require a stormwater
management permit.
If the subject project disturbs one acre or more and has a point source discharge of stormwater runoff,
then it is also subject to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater
discharge requirements. You are required to have an NPDES permit for stormwater discharge from
projects meeting these criteria. The stormwater rules require the Division of Water Quality to permit the
common plan of development, therefore, any future development on the property, regardless of whether a
CAMA Major permit is also required, may require a Stormwater Management Permit application and
permit issuance from the Division of Water Quality prior to any construction.
Please be advised that this determination is for stormwater management requirements only. Your
request for authorization of development under the Coastal Area Management Act is still in process.
If you have any questions or need additional information concerning this matter please contact Ms. Linda
Lewis with the Division of Water Quality at(910) 796-7404.

SUBJECT: Town of North Topsail,Dune system repair, Onslow County, ER 05-2527
We have reviewed the above permit application and would like to comment.
It is our opinion that borrow sand deposition and bulldozing operations may encounter the remains of
historic vessels that have been washed lost along the beach strand from Surf City to the New River Inlet and
buried over the last 450 years.
While the archaeological and historical record does not support a recommendation for an archaeological
survey,we would like your agency,the applicant,and the bulldozer operators to be aware that a the possibility
exists that this work may unearth a beached shipwreck. In the event that such occurs,work should move to
another area and the Underwater Archaeology Branch be contacted immediately (910/458-09042).A staff
member will be sent to assess the wreckage and determine the proper course of action.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comment,

Attn: Loraine Carbone,Interim Town Manger,and Authorized Agent
2008 Loggerhead Court
North Topsail Beach,N.C. 28460
Dear Mrs. Carbone:
The Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your application for State approval for
development of property located on the entire beach strand from the Surf City Town Limits to the New River Inlet,
adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean, in North Topsail Beach,Onslow County. It was received complete on 10/14/05,
and appears to be adequate for processing at this time. The projected deadline for making a decision is 12/28/05.
An additional 75-day review period is provided by law when such time is necessary to complete the review. If you
have not been notified of a final action by the initial deadline stated above,you should consider the review period
extended. Under those circumstances,this letter will serve as your notice of an extended review. However, an
additional letter will be provided on or about the 75th day.
If this agency does not render a permit decision within 70 days from 10/14/05,you may request a meeting with the
Director of the Division of Coastal Management and permit staff to discuss the status of your project. Such a
meeting will be held within five working days from the receipt of your written request and shall include the
property owner, developer, and project designer/consultant.
NCGS 113A-119(b)requires that Notice of an application be posted at the location of the proposed development.
Enclosed you will find a 'Notice of Permit Filing" postcard which must be posted at the property of your proposed
development. You should post this notice at a conspicuous point along your property where it can be observed
from a public road. Some examples would be:Nailing the notice card to a telephone pole or tree along the road
right-of-way fronting your property; or at a point along the road right-of-way where a private road would lead one
into your property. Failure to post this notice could result in an incomplete application.
An onsite inspection will be made,and if additional information is required,you will be contacted by the appropriate State
or Federal agency. Please contact me if you have any questions and notify me in writing if you wish to receive a copy of
my field report and/or comments from reviewing agencies.
Sincerely,
Jon Giles

RE; Project Description for CAMA.Major Pez3.t Application for the Town of North
Topsail Beach
Hurricane Ophelia caused erosion damage to approxirpately 80%of the dune system in
the Town of North TopsaU Beach,. The town's beach is approximately 11.6 miles or
58,000 linear feet. The Town ofNorth Topsail Beach is applying for a Major CAMA
Permit to correct the erosion escarpment along the entire beach.
The Town;of North Topsail Beach is proposing to bulldoze,haul beach compatible sand,
and screen over washed sand from town roads. In areas,that the dune system was
breached through the town is proposing to haul in approved beach compatible sand,the
sand will match the grain size on the beach. There are 12 breaches and the town will use
approximately 12 cubic yard per linear feet of sand to U. La areas that the erosion
escarpment is between 3 feet to 10 feet,a.bull dozer will be used to scrape sand from low
water mark to a depth of one foot and moved to the erosion escarpment.In areas that
were breach through the town has stocked piled sand that will be screened and move to
the dune by articulating trucks to fill in breaches. The stocked pile sand is estimated at
2100 cubic yards and is located at Ocean Drive(Ocean City pier)and Nerw River Inlet
Road.
The estimated time period for this project is six months;the town is proposing to start at
the end of the turtle season. The town is currently advertising for qualified contractors to
complete this project. The Board of Aldeimeu should award the contract on November 3,
2005 at their regular nee

Attention: Mickey T. Sugg
Dear Colonel Alexander:
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NUTS) has reviewed Action ID No. 200500344
describing plans submitted by the Town of North Topsail Beach (NTB)to nourish 7.25 miles of
ocean beach and relocate New River Inlet in Onslow County, North Carolina. The key purpose
of the project is to alleviate shoreline erosion.
Based on information contained in the public notice; coordination with the applicant's
consultant; and our knowledge of the project area, we are concerned that the proposed activities
would adversely impact living marine resources. The first phase of the project would involve
dredging to reposition the New River Inlet (NRI)navigation channel to a more central location,
and dredging Cedar Bush Cut (CBC). CBC is a 2.0-mile-long navigation channel that links NRI
to the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and New River(NR)Estuary. The dredged material from
this work would be placed along a 1.1-mile-long section of beach at NTB and on the south end
of Onslow Beach. The second phase would utilize material dredged from an offshore barrow
area to nourish the remaining 6.15-mile-long section of ocean beach at NTB. An inlet
management plan would be developed to monitor and maintain the inlet channel once it is
relocated.
The South Atlantic Fisheries Management Council (SAFMC) has designated habitats in both the
NR estuary and NRI as essential fish habitat (EFH) for a variety of federally managed species.
These habitats include estuarine tidal marsh, tidal creeks, mud bottoms, and inner marsh which
are utilized by larval and juvenile brown and pink shrimp and juvenile red drum. Similar EFH is
found in the vicinity of CBC and the proposed NRI channel realignment. Submerged bottoms
containing sand and shell substrate is common throughout the overall project area and has been
designated as EFH for larval and juvenile pink shrimp, and eggs, larvae and adult red drum
which spawn in and near the inlet. Both the NR Estuary and NRI are designated as
`gyp ATMOS�CpC

geographically defined Habitat Areas of Particular Concern (HAPC) for the above mentioned
species. HAPC are those areas which due to their rarity, susceptibility to human-induced
degradation, ecological importance, or location in an environmentally stressed area, are EFH.
Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV), which is also present in the project area, is designated as
EFH and HAPC for larval and juvenile brown, white, and pink shrimp and red drum. Based on a
recent aerial survey by the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF) of coastal
waters between Bogue Inlet and Wilmington, the extent of SAV in this region of the state is
considerably greater than originally thought. According to the applicant's consultant, digital
aerial photography of the project area will be acquired and used to identify SAV and oyster
reefs. (Oyster reefs are designated as EFH for adult red drum.) Both SAV and oyster reefs are
designated as high-quality habitats by the NCDMF and are managed under their Coastal Habitat
Protection Plan.
In addition to concerns associated with the effects of dredging, we are also concerned that the
proposed offshore borrow area may be located near live/hard bottom habitats designated as EFH
and HAPC for federally managed species. In the southeast, the SAFMC manages commercially
and recreationally important marine fishes associated with live/hard bottom EFH. Fishes that
utilize these areas include members of the snapper-grouper complex such as scamp, gray
snapper, white grunt, and black seabass.
Finally, the estuarine and marine water column in the project area is designated as EFH for
summer flounder, bluefish, and spiny dogfish which are under the jurisdiction of the Mid-
Atlantic Fishery Management Council (MAFMC). The beachfront surf zone, a subcategory of
marine water column EFH is important habitat for juvenile summer flounder and bluefish. This
relatively high energy environment also supports invertebrate species such as coquina clams and
mole crabs that are important components of the near shore and surf zone food webs.
Other fishes of commercial, recreational, and ecological importance found in the project area
include Atlantic croaker, spot, Atlantic menhaden, striped mullet, and pinfish. These species
also serve as prey for species such as king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, cobia, and others that are
managed by the SAFMC, and for highly migratory species (e.g., tuna, billfishes, and sharks) that
are managed by the NMFS. Detailed information on federally managed fisheries and their EFH
is provided in the 1998 amendments of the Fishery Management Plans of the South and Mid-
Atlantic Regions prepared, respectively, by the SAFMC and the MAFMC. The amendments
were prepared in accordance with provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) (P.L. 104-297).
Project activities that could adversely affect EFH and HAPC include dredging of the CBC,
dredging to relocate and maintain the NRI channel, dredging in the offshore borrow site, and the
placement of dredged material on the ocean beach and in the existing inlet channel (as needed
for channel relocation). Notably, the public notice provides no information on the dimensions or
alignment of the relocated inlet channel or dredge and fill activities associated with closing the
existing inlet channel. Dredging of intertidal and subtidal shoals to relocate the NRI channel
would adversely impact EFH.

The public notice provides no information on the location or dimensions of the offshore borrow
area. Dredging for fill material would deepen the area and eliminate benthic invertebrates that
may be present and which are consumed by near-shore fishes such as bluefish, summer flounder,
and spiny dogfish. Studies have documented aspects of recovery of similar offshore borrow
sites; however, recovery of the proposed borrow site offshore of NTB has not been evaluated.
The presence of submerged hard/live bottoms located offshore of NTB is of special interest and
concern to us. The offshore excavation of sand could harm this highly important EFH if fine
sediments become suspended by dredging and are redeposited here by local currents. Absolute
assurance that these habitats will not be adversely impacted will be needed in order to meet the
EFH conservation requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Act.
We further note that recent nourishment of Bogue Banks beaches in Carteret County has shown
that existing techniques used to locate suitable borrow materials and locations are not always
accurate, and unsuitable material may be placed on the beach. Material with a higher percentage
of shell or fines than that found on the existing beach may adversely impact surf zone EFH and
associated fauna. The surf zone provides habitat for fishes such as whiting,Florida pompano,
and southern flounder that are highly sought after by recreational fishers. Consequently, any
project related change in sediment type and/or degradation of water quality that supports these
species is of concern.
Planned development of an inlet management plan is mentioned in the public notice, but
necessary details concerning associated environmental effects are lacking. The frequency of
maintenance of a relocated inlet channel has a direct bearing on species abundance and diversity.
The NMFS is concerned that frequent maintenance will create a situation where population
recovery is continually interrupted and precluded. Also, given the number and distribution of
beach nourishment projects located to the north and south of the proposed project, the regional
cumulative effect could be substantial and needs to be evaluated.
The NMFS is also concerned that area to be nourished is a part of the Coastal Barrier Resource
System (CBRS). CBRS designation was intended to protect the natural character of a site by
prohibiting the expenditure of federal funds that might encourage development. Although it
does not appear that federal monies would be spent for proposed work, there is some overlap
with federal expenditure for maintenance of NRI. This, along with measures needed to conserve
natural habitats within the CBRS, need to be fully addressed. Clearly, the Wilmington District
should not authorize any activity that contravenes the purposes of the CBRS or other natural
resource conservation mandates.
Based on the preceding, and in the absence of an environmental assessment or impact statement,
or EFH assessment, we provide the following:
EFH Conservation Recommendation
Department of the Army authorization should be withheld pending full disclosure of all
significant environmental impacts and an EFH assessment is provided for NMFS review.

r
i
Consistent with Section 305(b)(4)(B) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act and NMFS's implementing
regulations at 50 CFR 600.920(k), your office is required to provide a written response to our
EFH recommendation within 30 days of receipt. Your response must include a description of
measures to be required to avoid, mitigate, or offset the adverse impacts of the proposed activity.
If your response is inconsistent with our EFH conservation recommendation, you must provide a
substantive discussion justifying the reasons for not implementing those recommendations. If it
is not possible to provide a substantive response within 30 days, the Corps of Engineers should
provide an interim response, to be followed by the detailed response. The detailed response
should be provided in a manner to ensure that it is received by the NMFS at least ten days prior
to final approval of the action.
These comments do not satisfy your consultation responsibilities under Section 7 of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. If any activity(ies) "may effect" listed species
and habitats under the NMFS purview, consultation should be initiated with our Protected
Resources Division at the letterhead address.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide these comments. Please direct related questions or
comments to the attention of Ronald Sechler in our Beaufort Field Office at 101 Pivers Island
Road, Beaufort,North Carolina 28516-9722, or at [phone].
