Dear Mayor Smith:
Please reference your February 17, 2006 request to modify your Department of the Army
(DA)Permit issued on September 27,2005,which authorized the dredging of 135,000 cubic
yards of sand from the Shallotte Inlet and depositing it on 2700 linear feet of ocean beach
adjacent to the inlet, on the west side of Ocean Isle Beach,Brunswick County,North Carolina.
The proposed modification requests approval to utilize a previously approved 9.5 acre upland
borrow site(Lake at Lockwood)because the Town was not able to contract with a dredge to do
the original project and extend the period of sand placement on the beach and beach construction
through the end of April.
In accordance with your written request and the enclosed additional special conditions,
your permit is hereby modified to utilize the upland borrow site(Lake at Lockwood) for beach
nourishment. However, since the April 30 time frame to do work has past, the request for your
completion date for work on the beach to be extended this year is not authorized. All other
conditions of your permit remain in full force and effect.
If the permitted work is not completed on or before the date herein specified, the
authorization, if not previously revoked or specifically further extended, will cease and become
null and void.

SUBJECT: Modification Request
CAMA Major/ Dredge and Fill Permit No. 91-05
Town of Ocean Isle Beach
Brunswick County
The Town of Ocean Isle Beach is requesting a modification to State Permit No. 91-05. Permit No. 99-01 was issued to the Town
of Ocean Isle Beach on June 28, 2005, for beach nourishment along 2,700 linear feet of the east end of Ocean Isle Beach utilizing
an existing Shallotte Inlet borrow site. Permit No. 91-05 will expire on December 31, 2008.
The applicant is requesting a modification to State Permit No. 91-05 to authorize the use of a highground borrow site with material
being trucked to the beach. The Town is proposing to utilize the "Lakes of Lockwood Borrow Site" currently authorized for beach
nourishment by the Town of Holden Beach. The Town is currently in the process of confirming the exact amount of sand available
in the borrow site but anticipates approximately 50,000 to 90,000 cubic yards. The existing permit authorized the placement of
135,000 cubic yards. The Town states that the use of the upland borrow site will result in a reduction in the section volume and
overall length of the project, however, berm elevations and seaward slope will remain the same. The Town is also requesting a
time extension to allow construction to take place until May 1.
The applicant will be forwarding a check to this Office in the amount of$100.00 for the modification request.

RE: P/N ID#91-05 Beach Construction,
Town of Ocean Isle Beach,Brunswick County,NC
Request for Modification
Dear Mr. Gregson,
I am writing on behalf of the Town of Ocean Isle Beach to request a modification
to the above referenced permit. Because federal dredging of Shallotte Inlet and
nourishment of Ocean Isle Beach could not be accomplished this year, the Town wishes
to perform nourishment using an alternate,beach quality sand source.
The Town has access to an approved upland sand source encompassing 9.5 acres
at"Lakes at the Lockwood". The Town is requesting modification of the permit to allow
sand from this source to be excavated, loaded and trucked in-the-dry to our project area at
the east end of Ocean Isle Beach.
The Town is in the process of confirming the quantity of sand available in the
Lockwood site. It is our understanding that approximately 7.5 acres of this property is
currently available for use. We anticipate purchasing 50,000 to 90,000 cy (volume
pending funding availability and unit costs) for placement on our beach. This is
equivalent to excavating approximately 4 to 6 feet of section out of the entire site. I
understand that your office has already approved the site for use as beach fill for Holden
Beach. The Town has contracted with Coastal Science and Engineering for the
preparation of a Quality Assurance Monitoring Plan as required by your office. A copy
of this plan is attached.
Our existing permit allows for up to 135,000 cy to be placed via hydraulic dredge.
We are requesting this modification to allow a portion of the permitted fill volume to be
obtained from an inland source. We understand that any inland volume placed will
TOWN OF OCEAN ISLE BEACH/THREE WEST THIRD STREET/OCEAN ISLE BEACH, NC 28469/[phone]

r
reduce the remaining volume to be placed hydraulically, according to the terms and
special conditions of the existing permit.
The beachfill plan using the Lockwood borrow source will entail a reduction in
section volumes and overall length. Berm elevations and seaward slopes, however, will
remain the same as described in our original application. We are also requesting a time
extension of the permit to allow construction activities on the beach until May 1st because
of unforeseeable delays in getting this request to your office. The Town intends to
comply with all other special conditions of the permit.
Please feel free to contact our office if you have any questions or need additional
information regarding our request for modifications. Thank your for your time and
consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
TOWN OF OCEAN ISLE BEACH

Ocean Isle Beach (NC)
East End Nourishment Project
QUALITY ASSURANCE MONITORING PLAN
BACKGROUND
The Town of Ocean Isle Beach(NC)is considering performing nourishment along the east
end of Ocean Isle Beach using an inland sand source, "The Lakes at Lockwood." CSE
has been retained to assist the town with engineering for the project. Following is the
quality assurance plan for implementation.
1) Verification of Borrow Sediment Quality and Quantity
• Preconstruction site visit to "Lakes at Lockwood" and confirmation of its avail-
ability, area, and potential depth for borrow sand excavations.
[An estimated 35 acre-feet are needed to provide -50,000 cubic yards (cy). This
is equivalent to an approximate 4-foot average cut over the reported 9.5-acre site
that has been pre-approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers-H Wicker, pers
comm, February 2006.]
• Sediment grab samples (approximately 6-8) from the proposed borrow area.
• Perform size-distribution tests and percent mud determination on all samples.
• Compare borrow area sediment characteristics with native beach characteristics,
compute RAs using the SPM-James method.
• Determine whetherthe proposed borrow sediment meets draft NC CRC criteria for
beach sediment quality.
2) Recommended Payment Method
• CSE will recommend one of three possible means of establishing the basis for
payment to the contractor:
- Payment in the pit based on before and after surveys.
- Payment on the beach based on before and after surveys.
- Payment based on truck counts and agreed-upon volumes per load (with
adjustments for variations in truck sizes).
Coostol Science&Engineering 1 Quality Assurance Monitoring Plan
[2163-01-QA] East End—Ocean Isle Beach

COX
• Measurement and payment method will be prescribed in plans and specifications.
3) Project Monitoring and Surveys
• Perform preconstruction condition survey on the beach to establish baseline condi-
tion.
• Provide daily on-site representation during construction through a combination of
town public works personnel and CSE personnel.
• Perform daily sediment sampling and testing of placed sand on the beach (one
sample per day) and weekly sampling in the pit.
[Test for grain-size distribution and mud content— if mud is observed in measur-
able quantities.]
• Maintain records of truckload deliveries.
• Establish procedures for refusing delivery of and payment for truckloads that do
not meet the specifications detailed in the plans.
• Provide sufficient detail in the project plans and specifications so as to give the
contractor grades, slopes, and limits for subject fill placement.
• Check contractor's placement of the sand according to the project specifications.
• Note discrepancies and deviations from the plans with respect to quantities and
sediment quality, recommending adjustments to payment requests by the con-
tractor and/or rectification procedures to correct deviation.
4) Final Survey Report
• Perform a postproject survey of the beach and compute volumes placed.
• Provide to the town a summary of work performed.
• Provide copies of contractor's daily reports,truck tickets, etc,to constitute a perm-
anent record of work accomplished.
• Recommend acceptance of the project.

DATE: April 20,2006
SUBJECT: Ocean Isle Beach NCDENR CMDF Permit#91-05 Modification Request.
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission(NCWRC)have reviewed the request
to modify the permit with regard to impacts on fish and wildlife resources. Our comments are provided in
accordance with provisions of the Coastal Area Management Act(G.S. 113A-100 through 113A-128),as
amended,and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act(48 Stat.401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.).
The permit authorized the nourishment along 2700 linear feet of the east end of Ocean Isle Beach. The
applicant is requesting to modify the permit to utilize an existing borrow site commonly referred to as the
Smith Site and to be allowed to extend the deposition work for the project until May 1,2006. The east
end of Ocean Isle Beach provides important habitat for shorebird and sea turtle nesting.
We have the following concerns/recommendations:
• All equipment and pipeline materials are to be removed from the beach by May 1 to prevent
interference with sea turtle nesting.
• In the use of materials from the Smith Site on Holden Beach,there were compatibility problems
that arose as a result of sand color in regard to incubation temperatures for sea turtles. We have
coordinated with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service(USFWS)and support their recommendation

that a monitoring program, similar to the one for Holden Beach,be established with Dr. Matthew
Godfrey,NCWRC Sea Turtle Biologist,to address this issue.
• We also support the USFWS recommendation that deposition begin at Station 17+00 and proceed
eastward but not continue past Station 0+00 to protect important shorebird habitat. Further,we
recommend that the Town of Holden Beach coordinate with Ms. Sue Cameron,NCWRC
Waterbird Biologist,to post(ropes and signs)the shorebird nesting area on the east end of Ocean
Isle Beach to prohibit foot traffic,pets,and/or any sort of disturbance to nesting.
• As there seems to be a pattern developing of requesting extensions into the environmental
moratoria,we strongly recommend that alternative arrangements be developed in the future.
The NCWRC concurs with granting the modification request,provided it is conditioned on our
recommendations. We share concerns with the US Fish and Wildlife Service and concur with any
recommendations they have. We appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on this request. If
you need further assistance or additional information,please contact me at(910)796-7436.
