Adam Priest (CPE) spoke with James Hargrove (Dial Cordy & Assoc.) who was conducting bird monitoring on the east end of Ocean Isle Beach. He mentioned that he did not see any red knots or other protected birds during his visit today (1/26). 3. Jody Bowen (NDC) visited the site to speak with Richard Mattingly (CDC) regarding offloading a bulldozer at the end of 4th street and staging it within the CDC staging until the start of dredging operations. Adam Priest (CPE) and Richard Mattingly (CDC) inspected two Size A armor stones that were delivered to the site today (1/26). The stones visually appeared to not meet the technical specifications. The stones were measured to determine whether the least dimension (height) was less than one-third (1/3) of the greatest dimension (length) for each stone. Based on the measurements Richard stated that the two stones would be send back 3 to 1 spec (input actual spec language). Richard confirmed via email that the two non -spec stones were sent back to the Vulcan (Rockingham) quarry on Blue Max Truck #609 for not meeting the project specifications and requested a credit for the tonnage or the non -spec stones. It is estimated that the combined weight of the two stones ranged between 15 and 18 tons (See Photo #'s 6, 7, and 8). 5. Spencer Rogers (NC Sea Grant), Tom Jarrett (CPE), Jim Gunn (CDC), Scott Hardaway (VIMS), Walter Priest (Wetland Design), Adam Priest (CPE), and Ken Willson (CPE) met on -site at approx. 11 am to observe the construction of the terminal groin (See Photo #3). Richard Mattingly (CDC) informed Adam Priest (CPE) that Southern Asphalt (subcontractor for the Pointe Development) was using a vibratory roller in proximity to the terminal groin site and that he could feel the vibrations but was not sure what effect, if any, it will have on the vibration monitoring stations.
