Enclosed is the application of the Town of Ocean Isle Beach, represented by
Mr. T. D. Roberson, for a Department of the Army permit and a State Water
Quality Certification to doze and grade sand for the purpose of building and
refurbishing dunes on approximately 5.8 mile of Atlantic Ocean beach, Ocean

verifies your acceptance of a valid request for certification in accordance
with Section 325.2(b)(ii) of our administrative regulations.
We are considering authorization of the proposed activity pursuant to
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have determined that a water quality
certification may be required under the provisions of Section 401 of the same
law. A Department of the Army permit will not be granted until the
certification has been obtained or waived.
In accordance with our administrative regulations, 60 days after receipt of
a request for certification is considered a reasonable time for State action.
Therefore, if your office has not acted on the request by June 30, 1987, the
District Engineer will deem that waiver has occurred.

Application for Permit for Excavation and/or Fill
Town of Ocean Isle Beach
Brunswick County
The applicant proposes to obtain a blanket permit for the
creation and enhancement of dune areas which serve as protection
against erosion. The permit would be issued to the Town of Ocean
Isle Beach and it would give the Town the ability to issue letter
of authorization to individual property owners. This work will
be done adjacent to Atlantic Ocean, classified SB. The project
has been reviewed to determine impacts on water quality. The
following comments are offered:
1. The project will require a 401 Certification.
2. The 401 Certification should contain the following
conditions:
a. Turbidity shall not exceed 25 NTUs as a result of the
proposed activity.
b. Filling shall be restricted to landward of MHW.

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Town of Ocean Isle Beach in response to recent severe storms events with
accompanying erosion is requesting that a CAMA permit be issued which will
allow the Town to issue a letter of authorization to all citizens who request
permission to bulldoze.
Severe erosion damage from this past winter's storms was limited to the eastern
end of the beach; however, a large portion of the beach dunes suffered an
insidious damage that leaves much of the beach with a weaker defense against
storms when compared to what existed last fall.
Four different types of damage can be addressed with a blanket permit. The
first type of damage is that which has left the erosion scarf within 20 feet of
several structures. The beach bulldozing allowed for imminently endangered
structures is a stopgap measure and real protection from a storm can on be
accomplished by placing dunes at something more like an arms length distance
from the structure. The second type would address the empty lots located
between structures imminently endangered by erosion. The Town's position is
that if a defensive line is not continuously maintained between occupied lots,
homeowners may be faced with erosion problems on two or possible three sides
at the same time. The third situation it would address would be the loss of
the protective solitary frontal dune. Ocean Isle Beach's dune system consists
mainly of a heavily vegetated frontal dune rising eight to thirteen feet above
grade backed up by heavily vegetated sand mounds of varying heights. In
areas where the frontal dune was lost to erosion the sand mounds are very
vulnerable to erosion and the gaps give little protection from storm water.
The final situation the blanket permit would address effects the largest portion
of the beach. The December-January storm rose to the foot of the frontal
dunes and caused the dunes to have a flat face. The well vegetated dunes
are holding this cliff-like slope which is very inviting to youngsters to play
around and dig tunnels in. A nearby beach experienced the tragic death of a
child playing in very similar sloped dunes. The blanket permit would allow
applicants to push sand to properly shaped the dunes to make it both safer
and stronger.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The project as proposed will result in short-term siltation and sedimentation
problems. The major impact will be the effect of the project on sea turtle
nesting. At the present time the existing water run-up would cover nesting
sites during spring high tide periods. The project would eventually provide
a slope more conducive to nesting activities.

Dear Ocean Isle Beach Property Owner:
The Town Board, at its March meeting, decided to apply
for a general permit for beach bulldozing. This will
allow all beach front property owners who are concerned
with the conditions of the frontal dunes adjacent to their
property to build and enhance these dunes.
At. pr(- Sant Only t 110:t(• I)r()l„ rt ? c,wiirI :: wli.I•:O• ::I rIit•I t I 1 41::
endangered (within 20 feet o1: the et-us:iuli scant) moy
immediately bulldoze to protect their structure.
Other Ocean Front property owners may bulldoze also but
only after waiting up to 25 days for a local CAIMA permit
to be issued. After the Town is issued a general permit
any beach front property owner may take steps to enhance
his protection after checking with the Town Building
Inspector to insure no permit conditions will be violated.
Such conditions would be the prohibition of bulldozing
activity during sea turtle nesting seasons. If all permit
conditions are met work could begin immediately without
the three week waiting period for an individual local CAMA
permit..
Enclosed you will find a copy of the application along
with a notification form. The Building Inspector will
be happy to answer any questions you should have about
this permit.
Sincerely, ? .?
