9. PROJECT DESCRIP'T'ION
Bald Head Island is part,of an island group known as Smith Island, located at the confluence of the _
Cape Fear River and Atlantic Ocean between Fort Fisher and Oak Island/Caswell Beach. The island
is accessed byprivate boat or'a private ferry service from,Southpott. Thus project islocated at,an
area between South Beach and West Beach known as "the Point ", on Bald Head Island, in
Brunswick County. The project site is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the south and east, the
Cape Fear River to the west and residential properties to the north.
The entire project area is located within the, Ocean'.Erodible and,l let Hazard Areas of
Environmental Concern (AECs). The annual erosion rate for the project area is- 8' /year per the
Division of Coastal Management's 2011 Annual Erosion Rate maps. A portion of the adjacent Inlet
Hazard Area north of the,proposed terminal groin location (along West Beach) has a.2' /yeavdrosion
rate. The Coastal Resources Commission established'this erosion rate in 2009' by Declaratory
Ruling. The 100 -year storm recession line is predicted to be 270' in the area.
The South Beach portion of the project falls within the USACE Wilmington,Harbor,Sand
Management Plan project, which authorizes the placement of material excavated from the federal
navigation channel on South Beach at Years 2 and 4 of a 6 -year cycle, South Beach last received
sand under the federal project in the winter of 2012/2013. A short stretch of West,Beach was-also
included in this last disposal event. West Beach was also previously nourished in 2006 under State
Permit #62 -05, issued to the Village of Bald Head Island on April 28, 2005 (Federal Permit
1980'00291). State Permit #62 -05' authorized the�excavatiori of,approximately 40,000 cubic yards of
material from Bald Head Creek, which was then deposited on West Beach. State Permit #139 -10
recently authorized the dredging of approximately 1.40;000 cubic yards-,of additional material -from
the mouth of Bald Head Creek, which was placed on both West & South Beaches in 2012.
State Permit #09- 95,'issued to the Village -of Bald Head Island, authorized nourishment of a portion
of South Beach: A minor modification of the permit was granted on July 7,,1995 by means of a: - -
CRC variance, for installation of the sand groin field on South Beach (Federal Permit #199404687).
A minor modification of State Permit, #9 -95 was also issued by CRC variance for the construction
of a 300 - linear foot sandbag - revetment west of Groin #16 -and extending- towatds "the Point" on
Augustr8, 2011. The permit Was -most recently modified on November 12, 2013 to remove a permit
condition deemed irrelevant to ongoing required monitoring efforts. State Permit #67 -09 was also
issued _to "the Village of Bald Head Island for the dredging, of approxvnately 1_.86 million cubic
yards of sand from Jay Bird Shoals for the renouri'shment of South and West Beaches. Work under
this permit,was performed in 2010.
The waters of the Cape Fear River and Atlantic Ocean are classified as SAJSB by the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality. The waters are not designated as a Primary Nursery Area
(PNA) by the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries. They are CLOSED to the harvesting,of shellfish.

PROPOSED PROJECT:
The applicant is proposing the construction rof a 1,900' terminal groin at the area known as "the
Point" between West Beach, and South Beach. The terminal groin would likely'be constructed in
two phases. As proposed, the first phase would entail construction of the landward 1300'
(approximate length) of the structure. Construction would commence at the completion of the next
federal beach,disposal project, or in May 2015 if no supplementary sand is required for the fillet. If
additional sand' is required to achieve the full profile of the 'fillet, the applicant has stated ,that sand
would likely be excavated from Jay'Bird Shoals and work could be delayed until after November 1,
2015. Turtle monitoring within the project area during the moratorium would be, performed by the
Bald Head Island Conservancy. Construction may additionally require the construction of sand
work pads on the structure's updrift side. Sand would be pulled from the federal disposal berm
within 2500' of the groin to ,construct the .sand pads. Alternatively, the applicant has' stated that 'a
steel -pile trestle may be needed instead to construct the nearshore portion of the groin. The trestle
piles would be jetted into place and subsequently removed upon completion of each phase of ,the
proj ect.
The terminal groin would be constructed of large armor rock with a rock - filled marine mattress or
composite filter fabric /geogrid base: Armor stone would be limited to a uniform size (1.4 to 7 tons
each with a 4' -6` diameter) and the structure would be constructed at a maximum elevation of +7'
NGVD .29 to enhance permeability and allow for controlled downdrift sediment transport. The
structure is designed with a maximum, crest width.of 15' along the head section, and a 6 -10' crest
width along, the stem section. The head, and ,stem sections would be, constructed at a 2:1 slope. The
upland tie -back section of the terminal groin would measure 6' in width ,at its crest. The tie -back
,section location would be excavated to an elevation of 0' NGVD 29, then the groin section
,constructed at a 3:2, slope, and backfilled after construction (see Sheets 4 & 5).
Phase, 2 „the construction of the remaining 600' of terminal groin, would be initiated at a future date
if the applicant determines conditions warrant the need to extend the structure to the full 1900'
;length. Phase 2 would be further coordinated with the permitting agencies and likely timed with a
federal beach disposal project. It is - stated that a construction trestle would likely be required, for
Phase 2.
The applicant.has stated that the preferred sand source for fillet creation is the remaining portion�of
the Jay Bird Shoals borrow site authorized by State Permit 67 -09. The preferred sand source the
Village has identified for any needed mitigation on West Beach is the remainder of the Bald Head
Creek mouth borrow site, as authorized under State Permit 139 -10. The three segments of the
federal inner -ocean entrance channel near Bald Head Island have also been identified as a potential
sand source; however, plans, and supporting data for use of this site have snot been submitted at this
time. The beach fill project limits could extend .up to 12,600 linear feet in length, from Stations
8 +00 to 1'34 +00, with an excavated volume of'up to ,1.4 million cubic yards of material to be placed
on South and West Beaches. The applicant has stated that they intend to leave the 300 linear foot
sandbag revetment in place during project construction.

The Village further,acknowl'edges.some "tuning" or modification of the terminal groin maybe
needed in order to comply with the requirements of Senate Bill 110 (as amended by Senate Bill
15 1) and to offset poteiitial,increased erosion on West`Beach Which may result from the terminal
groin. The applicant sfates`that- models have shown there-will be "no ,quantifiable impact" on the
Caswell Beach/Oak Island side of the,inlet. Surveying commitments and mitigation thresholds,have
been described in the Inlet, Management Pian submitted -as part of the application package (see
'attached plan for details). A draft'EIS 'has been'reviewed by the US Army Corps of Engineers
(USAGE) and commenting agencies. The fmal EIS has not yet-been released by the USACE. '
-10. ANTICI'PATEDIMPACTS:
A
The proposed terminal groin construction would "result in the',fill of approximately 75,000 square
feet of Public Trust Area and Estuarine 'Waters-below the mean high water line (MH)A). and the fill
of approximately 11,000 square feet of unvegetated beach above MHW. The landward portion of
the groin (the tie -back section) could also result in the temporary excavation. of up to 5,000 cubic
yards' of unvege'tated beach. The fillet creation coula,result in up to 6.9 acres of fill above MHW,
approximately -25.3 acres of fill below MHW and the excavation of up to 35.2 acres of Publictrust
Area and Estuarine' Waters. Trestle- construction may temporarily impact up to 0.98 acres of- Public
Trust.Area andEEstuarine Waters below MHW and up to 0.•11 of unvegetated beach above MHW.
The excavation-for possible future beach fill.(likely at-�Jay Bird Shoals) could result in up to 1,24600
linear feet of unvegetated beach fill, or approximately 46-acre's of beach fill. The applicant
anticipates that"a properly installed terminal groin will likely decrease the frequency and duration of
future;needed beach fill projects and erosion events.

NA UR,E OF AC'T'IVI'T'Y
A Public Notice was issued by the Wilmington District, OSACOE on 14 March 20,12
regarding the Village of Bald Head Island's proposal to construct a terminal groin structure. The
associated Action ID# is SAW- 2012- 00040. The Corps is evaluating the proposed 'work
pursuant to applicable- procedures of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33USC 1344) and
Section 10 of the River and Harbors Act. The Wilmington District has prepared .a Draft
Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA).
The proposed work includes the construction of a terminal groin up to 1,900 ft. in
length - -as measured along the centerline of its crest -- as well as supplementary sand placement
operations. The project islocated at the juncture of West Beach and South Beach on Bald Head
Island in close proximity to the Cape Fear River entrance. The terminal structure will be
constructed of large armor rock underlain _by either a rock filled marine mattress and/or a
composite filter fabric /geogrid foundation The use of large uniformly shaped • stone, in
combination.with a relatively low crest elevation, allows for some degree of desired permeability
(or leakiness) to be an integral component of the structure. Permeability in this instance refers to
the ability of sand to be intentionally transported over and/or through such a coastal structure at a
controlled rate. An important characteristic of'the permeable groin under consideration,at Bald
I
Head Island is the continued opportunity for spit formation on its downdrift side. Such a spit
feature (or sand platform)will be both important and conducive for the continuation of
alongshore sediment transport to the , downdrift shorelines laying northward thereof.
The fundamental design precepts for -the terminal groin structure proposed for
construction at the westerly end -of South Beach at Bald Head Island can be summarized as
follows:
® Porosity — the structure should be sufficiently permeable (or "leaky ") as to limit its long-
term impoundment of sand thereby reducing potential downdrift impacts commonly
associated with impermeable structures.

• Template (length and width) — the direct, as well 'as far -field effects of the groin structure
should provide an equilibrated profile or template conducive io the stabilization of the
updrift South Beach shoreline sufficient to provide benefit between federal beach
disposal events,, i.e., nominally two to three years. The resultant updrift fillet is expected
to progressively reduce in width and extent between sand placement events — due to
structure permeability.
• Elevation —portions of the groin should be sufficiently low such that wave overtopping
and resultant sediment transport can occur `through and over the structure's crest during
periods of energetic wave conditions.
® Settlement —, the structure should have a foundation designed, to be highly resistant to
long -term settlement so -as to substantially reduce future maintenance requirements as
well as undesirable changes, in design intent.
® Adjustment — the structure should be capable of post--construction "tuning" if deemed
necessary to'refine predicted performance characteristics.
® Constructability — the structure should, be adequately robust so as to resist damage during
low probability storm events, but at the same time sufficiently straight forward in design
to assure cost - effective constructability in a highly energetic and dynamic environment.
® Phasing — the terminal groin should be capable of being constructed in two (2) phases
withoutzcompromising the structure's design intent.
An important complimentary activity associated with terminal groin construction at Bald
Head, Island is ;the requirement for periodic sand placement sufficient, to provide some level of
updrift fillet eastward of the structure both initially and over time. This action is particularly
relevant to a permeable groin designed to allow for a controlled release °of:sediment through, or
over the structure's crest. The Bald Head Island groin is intended to be constructed in the
summer ,of 20.15 following sand placement on Bald 'Head Island pursuant to the Wilmington
Harbor Sand Management Plan (WHSMP). Typically, federal beach disposal work occurs
between January .and April. That sand, excavated as a result of federal channel maintenance,

would be utilized initially to both improve South Beach and to provide a partial source of fill for
the groin's updrift fillet. Since additional sand will be required to complete or maintain thefillet
formation, one or moredesignated borrow sources, otherthan - federal disposal materialfrom the
channel,will be required.
Additionally, since the site specific design precepts established for the termirial structure
at Bald Head Island necessitate potential episodic sand placement f6r fillet maintenance,, as well
as possible mitigation of downdrift erosion on West Beach, future Village sponsored dredging
,and sand placement .operations may be necessary. The latter necessitates the identification and
permitting of readily available sand sources suitable for that purpose. Presently, there is only
onelarge scale sand source reliably available for usage both during and after ,groin
construction - -a previously permitted (but undredged) segment of a Jay Bird Shoals borrow
site.The Jay Bird Shoals borrow site was developed, analyzed and permitted in 2009 for a
Village, sponsored beach restoration proj ect; but by design was not completely dredged. Rather,
a portion of the borrow site was strategically preserved for potential future use. As axesult, there
is a minimum of 1.5 Mcyof readily accessible sand remaining within- the limits of the 240.4-.A
borrow area which,was .permitted by CAMA and the USACOE and for which an Environmental
Assessment (EA) was performed. Areas within the dredged portion of,the Jay Bird Shoal borrow
area whichhave been - subject to physical and biological recovery would not be subject to further
excavation under this Permit.A second potential, but_ less' reliable, source of sand is theinner-
•ocean,entrance channel of the federal, navigation project whichis comprised of three (3) segments
containing beach quality material which has been placed on either Oak Island or Bald Head
Island both during and after the harbor deepening project constructed in 2000 /01.Presently,
within eaclichannel segment there is on average typically 400'— 600,000 cyof shoal material
dredged, every 3 years, mol. It is noted however, that the volume of sand potentially available
from this secondary source is dependent upon both the timing and magnitude of the last federal
maintenance dredging contract and the potential needs of other parties. In addition, the
distribution of sand within the navigation channel may make it costly and difficult to access for
fillet and beach maintenance. Both borrow areasidentiRed are well documented as being sources

of beach compatible material which has been placed on South Beach in the recent past. A third
potential candidate site identified for future useby the Applicantincludes the ebb tidal platform ,of
Bald Head Creek. The latter sand source was previously utilized for two (2) small scale beach
fill projects on BaldHead Island constructed first in 2006 and again in 2012, following Hurricane
Irene. It is currently estimated that a northerly extension of the ;previously permitted Bald Head
Creek borrow limits — would yield up to 250,000 cy of beach compatible material. As with prior
dredging operations at thi's location, the depth of excavation would be `limited to -6ft MLW, mol.
Although the extensive Frying Pan Shoal formation located seaward of the eastern end of South
Beach (i.e. south of Cape Fear) constitutes a potential future candidate sand source, it will take
several years to develop a permitted borrow site at that location.
Construction activities directly associated with terminal, groin construction involve the
transport of quarried armor stone and marine mattress'which would be offloaded on the north
side of the Point where both water depth and sheltering from waves are adequate From there
material would be transported -to the groin construction site by 4WD trucks. , In order- to
progressively construct the rock groin in a seaward direction, it is probable that the selected
marine contractor will need to install a temporary trestfe alongside ,the structure in order to
traverse nearshore waters rangmg,up to 10 ft. —.12 ft. in depth. The'latter type of trestle- structure
(often seen abutting bridge replacement projects) is usually supported by steel pile which can be
easily jetted both into place and subsequently retracted at the, end of the job. Shallow water
'depths in combination with a highly' energetic wave environment in the nearshore project area
severelylimit or preclude construction• of the rock groin by barge mounted equipment. An
alternate means of staging equipment used fof rock placement is through the use of sand work
pads placed alongside the groin's updrift (eastern) side ,as, work progresses seaward. The source
of sand for pad construction will be the section of disposal berm (above the MHWL) extending
2,500 ft: eastward of the - groin. Any such" material placed for this purpose is considered to be
conducive to updr'ift fillet formation.

Large scale sand placement either preceding or immediately following terminal structure
initiation will typically be performed by cutter suction dredge. Sand would therefore be
delivered by pipeline to either West Beach or South Beach fill sites from the navigation channel,
orthe Jay Bird Shoals/Bald Head, Creekborrow ,sites The filling process would be identical to
that utilized for prior beach restoration or beach disposal operationsconstructed at Bald Head
Islandsince 2001.
If deemed necessary, future mitigation via sand placement, or adjustment to the terminal
structure, shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of N.0 S13110, (as
subsequently amended by SB 151')or other pertinent regulations in effect, at °the time.
Approach to Construction - The Village of Bald Head Island proposes to permit a 'terminal
structure extending up to 1,900 ft ± in lengthsouthward, of the existing,seawardmostupland dune
line. The project would be initiated subsequent to the completion of a federal beach disposal
project constructed eastward thereof in order to maximize benefits to the South Beach littoral
system. Additional sand — beyond that placed by the federal maintenance dredging and. disposal
to the beach -- would need to be placed updrift ,of the full 1,900 ftlong terminal groinin order to
facilitate immediate and complete infilling of the requisite sand fillet 'at the structure. A
supplementary sand (borrow) source located at Jay Bird Shoals would be required to dredge and
place approximately .5 Mcy of sand needed for fillet creation. The final volume dredged would
be determined by beach conditions and the length of groin initially constructed.
In order to expedite beneficial post -groin shoreline equilibration conditions (both updrift
and downdrift of the structure, as well as some level of formation of sand fillet), the Village
proposes to address construction of the terminal structure in two (2) phases. Phase I would first
construct the landward two- thirds of the structure's overall design length, more or less,
coincident with the next beach disposal, of dredged material from the federal navigation channel.
Phase II (if deemed necessary) would, extend, the seaward end of the structure to complete the
structure's overall design length, at an appropriately timed future date.
12 June 2014

Village of Bald Head Island
Terminal Groin
DCNR (MP -1)
APhase I structure (currently estimated at 1,300 ft ± in length) would be shorter than the
terminal groin's overall, permitted maximum design length, but it is nonetheless deemed
sufficient to initiate stabilization of the western limit of South Beach through beneficial shoreline
realignment and associated reduction of sediment losses to the inlet. Moreover, the shorter Phase
I structure is expected to be more conducive to the timely facilitation of sand bypassing to the
downdrift shoreline. Observation and monitoring ,of rates of littoral transport subsequent to a
federal beach disposal project (similar in design to that constructed in the Spring of 2013)
indicate that the level of expected naturally occurring fillet impoundment for the shorter structure
may preclude immediate,sand placement (estimated at about .25 Mcy) from the Jay Bird Shoals
borrow site. At the least, a Phase I structure would both reduce the volume of sand required, as
Well as- potentially the. timing of updrift fillet enhancement by the Village (if necessary) by
,approximately 6 months to a year.
Simplistically, the ,principal benefits of a two, phased approach to construction of a
terminal groin are considered to include, but are not-necessarily limited to the following: -
© , A Phase I (1,300 ft.) structure requires a smaller sand volume for the updrift fillet. Any
dredging associated with fillet construction for a Phase I structure would involve ,less
borrow site impact, and would allow the remaining Jay Bird Shoals (1 5 Mcy) sand
resource to last longer.
o A Phase I structure is comprised of significantly less rock and would therefore take less
time to construct.
• A Phase I structure may potentially not necessitate the utilization of a temporary
construction trestle.
• A Phase I structure would have a lower probability of downdrift impact to West Beach
because of the mote nearshore location of active sand bypassing through the permeable
stem of the rock groin,structure.

G A Phase I structure allows for a suitable prototype structure capable of being monitored.
The results of such monitoring would be used ,to pragmatically determine the need,
timing and preferred physical extent ,of a Phase II structure, however in no event would
the terminal,groin structure exceed 1,900 ft. in total length.
The Village proposes to initiate construction of a terminal structure immediately
following completion of federal beach disposal operation on Bald Head Island -- presently
scheduled for 2015. To -date, most federal disposal events take place in the early months- of the
year with completion typically before the 1 May sea turtle moratorium. Associated beach
disposal _filling activities at South Beach on Bald, Head Island generally proceed from west to
east.
Certain contract activities associated with terminal groin construction (for either Phase of
work) can theoretically begin prior to beach disposal operations. They are principally limited
however to stone acquisition, transport and stockpiling at the situ assuming such work can be
carried out without conflict to the federal 'dredgmg contract.The active construction of the „groin
stem cannot proceed however until updrift beach disposal operations on _South Beach has been
completed. The latterrequirement however, allows for sand to be transported westward toward
the structure -- thereby minimizing its lee side effects. Moreover, it is likelythat a Phase I groin
construction operation -can benefit from ,the creation of sand work pads on the structure's updrift
side with the source of ,sand being the federal disposal berm — located within 2,500 ft: of the
groin.
It is presently estimated -that a Phase I (1,,3 00 ft. long) terminal groin, constructed without
the need for a hydraulically placed fillet, will begin in May of 2015 and will. therefore eAtendat
least6 months into the 2015 Moratorium. Hence, a Waiver on the typical_ environmental window
is required during the summer of 2015. Should a contract be ,required for sand placement for
fillet creation from the Jay Bird Shoals borrow site, the latter can be delayed until after 1
November. Sea turtle nesting activities on South Beach occurring 3,000 ft. eastward of the
construction site would be unaffected by the proposed activities. All next relocation activities
within the contractor's work zone will be performed by the Bald Head Island Conservancy.

Any future year Phase II construction contract would have self similar operational
requirements — particularly if a construction trestle were required to work in deeper waters
seaward of the terminus of the Phase I groin. It is therefore probable that such work would
likewise be timed to coincide with federal beach disposal operations --Tor all the reasons stated
above. Any future decision to build a Phase II structure with a reduced overall length would
obviously reduce the duration of the associated.period of construction for Phase II operations.
It is anticipated that the post- construction performance- of the Phase I terminal structure
would b&-monitored with respect to its ability to,(a) facilitate sand bypassing to the downdriftf
shoreline, (b) reduce the rate of sand loss from `South Beach, and (c) maintain an adequate
updrift fillet, and to assess the alongshore extent of benefits derived therefrom. The probability
of occurrence, timing and extent of a Phase II construction event would be dictated by the results
of the Phase j,monitoring program. It is reasonable to assume that the typical, time required to
adequately assess the performance of the Phase I structure would be one to two channel- dredging
and beach disposal cycles (i.e. approximately 2 to 4 years).
"Initially, both the Phase 'I and Phase II terminal groin lengths continue to 'necessitate the
maintenance of the existing South Beach sand tube groinfield located eastward of the -new
structure. Ultimately, however, any individual sand -tube groin considered by the Village to be
rion- essential or counter - productive `to- terminal groin- performance would be removed or
modified. A decision in this regard would be based upon the results of shoreline- monitoring.
A post - construction monitoring program for the Phase I structure would consist of
biannual surveys intended to quantify fillet volume, spit or platform formations associated with
sand bypassing, and the condition of immediate updrift' and downdrift shorelines. In order to
facilitate the effort, only minor modifications to the Village's existing comprehensive shoreline
monitoring program would be required. More specifically, these modifications would include
additional survey fines in the vicinity of the groin structure, the fillet, and the downdrift
shorelinne:. The existing biannual controlled aerial photography, program would be continued;
however, interim (quarterly) oblique photography would be acquired for purposes of high -
frequency qualitative assessments of shoreline conditions.

Indepth numerical modeling analyses (utilizing _DELFT 3,D) for a 1,300 ft. long (Phase I)
structure were specifically performed for ,purposes of comparison with existing model results for
the full 1,900 ft. (Phase II) terminal groin ,length. All model scenarios considered both the
existence of the sand tube groinfield and the episodic placement of 1.2 Mcy of sand along the
South Beach shoreline every three years.. No meaningful differences in downdrift (Point or West
Beach) shoreline conditions were predicted' for the reduced Phase I structure length. - As
expected, the only predictable difference between Phase 'I and Phase II structure lengths was the
spatial extent,of the resultant updrift sand fillet on South Beach.
Any decision as to when, and/or how far to extend the Phase I structure would' be closely
coordinated with both State and Federal regulatory staff. In no event, however, would the
terminal groin`be extended beyond its full 1,900 ft permitted length. A Notice -to- Proceed (NTP)
for a Phase II extension would be given by the Village for purposes of notification to all affected
agencies, stakeholders and navigational interests.
For the construction of a terminal groin updrift sand fillet, as, well asany:near term future
maintenance of the beach (in accordance with the disposal tenets of .the WHSMP), the preferred
sand, source is Jay Bird Shoals. For either downdrift mitigation (at West .Beach) or small scale
sand fillet renewal volumes, the preferred sand _sources would be either the Bald Head Creek
borrow -site (as expanded), or portions of the authorized 'federal navigation channel which are
shoaled, potentially including some, areas not addressed during routine maintenance operations.
For "emergency" type conditions following a major storm event, the Village would
propose to dredge available sand from anywhere within the limits of the three (3) identifiable
segments of the inner -ocean entrance- channel. The location and volumes of sand available under
such a condition would be dependent upon ;the timing and size of the prior federal contract
performed for routine navigation channel maintenance, however, a major storm event would in
all probability result in accelerated rates of channel shoaling.
In the long term, anew "primary" borrow source would need to be developed within
Frying Pan Shoals. Both geotechnical and Cultural Resource investigations as well as an

Environmental Assessment would be required. This sand source would eventually be utilized to
supplement federal beach disposal activities (pursuant to the WHSMP) and to provide any future
,sand required to- maintain- a fillet updrift of a terminal groin, as well as address potential large
scale storm impacts to the shorefront of Bald Head' Island. It is estimated that the development
'of such an alternate'bortow site would need to occur some `3 -years or more (but before 12- years)
subsequent to the Phase I terminal groin construction. The time required to develop �a second
major borrow site is estimated at 24 — 36 months, mol.
In general, the purpose of the proposed terminal groin is to stabilize the westernmost
segment of South Beach on Bald Head Island. At that location, chronic shoreline, erosion
threatens both public and private infrastructure as well as various environmental resources.
Since 1995, prior efforts at stabilization comprised of a 16 structure sand tube groinfield, as well
as large and small scale episodic sand placement projects, have been unsuccessful in achieving
the project purpose. More specifically, the proposed terminal `groin is intended to enhance
stabilization of the beach 'by limiting the rapid loss of fill material that presently occurs at that
location through a' reduction. -in ,the rate of sand transport from the island - toward - the inlet. As
such, the introduction of a terminal groin represents a new - dynamic affecting existing conditions
Which includes the goal of reorienting the westernmost segment of South-Beach shoreline. The
placement 'of sand concurrent with, or immediately prior to, the installation of a terminal ;groin
will significantly reduce the volume of material which would otherwise be removed from the
island's littoral system by the impoundment characteristics of such a structure. Long -term
benefits of the groin would include overall reduced shoreline erosion along South Beach which
may in turn potentially lower the rate of sedimentation (shoaling) within the federal navigation
channel.
Any meaningful reduction in the annualized rate of net sediment transport along, western
Bald Head Island requires some level of reorientation of the shoreline closest to the federal
navigation channel. The added stability afforded to directly, placed (or strategically impounded)
10

Village of Bald Head Island
Terminal Groin
DCNR,(MP -1,)
sand by a terminal groin makes shoreline realignment feasible relative to alternative methods of
stabilization previously employed at this location. As historically demonstrated, sand placed as
an unstabilizedbeachfill is quickly eroded along the westernmost segment of South Beach. In
contrast, a terminal groin will serve as ,a "template" for comprehensive sand fill' projects placed
eastward thereof, thereby reducing the rate of sand losses to the inlet, allowing for a more stable
shoreline orientation, improved long -term fill project performance and resultant protection of
upland property and infrastructure.
The desired performance characteristics for a,terminal structure as proposed at Bald Head
Island can be summarized as follows:
o Reduce annualized sediment transport rates from the westernmost segment of South
Beach to the Cape Fear River via realignment of the Island's southerly shoreline nearest
the navigation channel;
® Establish an updrift (easterly) sand impoundment fillet eastward of the terminal groin
which serves to. protect some level of endangered residential structures as well as public
infrastructure (i.e. the Bald Head Wyndroadway and abutting subgrade utilities).
© Incorporate design features into the terminal structure which minimize the potential for
adverse impacts to a.downdrift shoreline (i.e., the Point and West Beach) both of which
are presently highly dynamic and erosional;
o Help protect portions of an important upland evacuation route which parallels South
Beach;
m Protect and stabilize beachfront and dune fields along the western end of South Beach
(thus enhancing their value, for recreational' ,use and storm protection along with their
function as' endangered species habitat);
® Provide potential benefits .to an adjacent federal navigation project via reduced shoaling;
• Preclude impacts to the existing regional sediment budget, as well as other coastal barrier
islands;
• Require little to no structural maintenance;'

DC-14R (MP -1)
© Minimize or reduce future maintenance requirements for portions of 'the existing sand
tube groinfield located along South Beach;
® Provide an improved beach condition conducive to the extension of the effective life and
benefit level associated with future sand placement projects (updrift of the structure) that -
are implemented by either the Village or by the USACE.
o Utilize existing supplementary sand source(s) for initial construction, fillet restoration
and/or mitigation from area(s) determined to result in negligible long term environmental
or physical impacts.For example, each of the three (3) candidate borrow areas identified
for near term use have been dredged and placed as beach fill in the recent past (Le. since
2000).
REASONS FOR DISCIIARGE
The construction of the proposed terminal groin will be directly keyed to the timing of
the next federal beach disposal project constructed, at Bald Head' island. The latter is presently
scheduled for, spring of 2015. It i" the intent of the Applicantto- coordinate with the Wilmington
District, COE engineering staff regarding, the actual placement design for the next federal
disposal project so as to a.) maximize sand impoundment both at/and eastward of the terminal
groin, and b.) to maximize the width of the fill, berm and'interti~dal,beach sufficient to assist in
groin construction operations.
Additional sand placement by the Applicant may derive from the following requirements:
1. `The need to augment,fillet formation resulting from a federal disposal project. This work
would be performed immediately following terminal groin construction._
2.. The need to.maintain an appropriately sized updrift fillet over time, and
r
3. The potential need to mitigate_ shoreline erosion which may be either caused by the,groin,
or which may occur in, the vicinity or downdrift of the groin, but from natural causes, or
other man- induced activities.

The Jay Bird Shoals borrow area, an expanded Bald Head Creek borrow area, and the
three segments of the-federal inner -ocean entrance channel limits of work routinely maintained,
by the U.S. Army COE, shall comprise the near ternihighest priority sand source(s)for the three
uses described above. The three Federal navigation channel ,segments which routinely result in
the excavation of beach quality sand are defined as Bald Head Channel Shoals 1 & 2, and the
Smith Island Channel.
Two (2) other project related sources of material to be "discharged" (or placed) into the
waters of the State include both armor rock and rock filled marine mattresses utilized for the
groin's foundation. All stone specified will be granite sourced from an,inland quarry. The stone
will be transported to the island by barge and offloaded and stock - piled. Rock placed within the
structure- cross - section — above and below the MHWL will be by crane, backhoe, pay - loader, etc.
The construction of a temporary work trestle, and/or the formation of sand work pads placed
seaward of the MHWL alongside the structure, likewise need to be considered part of the
permitted construction operations. That sand source shall be the, upland portion (above the
MHWL) of the federal disposal berm located within2,500 ft. of the rock groin.

VILLAGE OF BALD MEAD ISLAND, NC
TERIVUNAL GROIN PROJECT
INLET MANAGEM ENT TAN
d. SETTING
17 July 2014
In order to comply with the requirements of .SB 1 -10 (as subsequently amended by
SRI 51), an applicant for a permit to construct a, terminal groin-must formulate, a plan for the
"management of the inlet and the estuarine and ocean shorelines immediately adjacent to and
under the influence of the inlet. The inlet management plan monitoring and mitigation
requirements ,must be reasonable and not impose requirements whose costs outweigh the
benefits. The inlet management plan is not required to address sea level rise. The inlet
management plan shall do all of the following relative to the terminal groin and its
accompanying beach fill project-
a. Describe the post - construction activities that the, applicant will undertake to
monitor the impacts on coastal resources.
b. Define the baseline for assessing any adverse impacts and'the thresholds for when
the adverse impacts must be mitigated.
C. Provide for mitigation measures to be implemented if adverse impacts reach the
thresholds defined, in the plan.
'd. Provide for modification or removal of the terminal groin, if the adverse, impacts
cannot be mitigated." G.S. § 113A- 115.1(e)(5).
On Bald Head Island, the section of shorefront subject to continuing monitoring and
impact analysis as a down'drift shoreline potentially subject to structure induced damage and
resulting mitigation is West Beach. On the Oak Island side of the inlet, the section of shorefront
subject to similar project related monitoring is the Fort Caswell oceanfront shoreline from Sta.
60 to Sta. 30. The latter is under the influence of the inlet — but outside the limits of sand
disposal routinely performed by the Wilmington District,, USACOE- at, Oak Island.
Inlet management plan formulation will be significantly, different for an inlet improved
for commercial navigation versus ,one which is in a relatively unimproved condition or which
provides only for recreational navigation. Also - influencing various potential management

precepts is the size of the inlet, its history and any associated sand disposal operation(s) which
presently benefits one, or both, of the abutting coastal barrier shorelines. That is to say,
beneficial inlet management must involve multiple considerations. Such is the case with the
entrance to the Cape Fear River where a proactive Sand Management Plan has been in effect for
over a decade. The subject Wilmington Harbor Sand Management Plan (W,HSMP) is
implemented by the Wilmington District, United States Army Corps of,Engineers ( "USACOE ")
during routine maintenance of the innermost three (3) segments of the 'Ocean Entrance Channel
(Smith Island Reach and Bald Head Reaches 1 and 2) which comprise , a portion of the
Wilmington Harbor Navigation Project.
Until 1999, the, Wilmington Harbor navigation project had historically not included the
disposal of littoral sand on the adjacent beaches, or in the active littoral zone. This had -been
primarily due to the maintenance practices that were established with the inception of the project
in the late 1800's. As a result, standard practice for maintaining the ocean entrance channel
segments of'the project was offshore disposal in water depths of 30 feet or more.
With the last harbor deepening project and coincident reorientation of the,ocean entrance
channel, the Wilmington.District established a new standard for the disposal, of littoral sediment.
From�an engineering,perspective, a purpose of-the Wilmington.Harbor maintenance program was
to avoid or mitigate potential erosion of the adjacent beaches by conserving the limited natural
resource, sand, through`deposition directly on the adjacent coastal barrier beaches.
'Pursuant to the adopted Plan, the initial ratio of distribution of littoral sand excavated
during routine maintenance operations between Bald Head Island and East, Oak Island — Caswell
Beach was proposed by the District, in the ratio,-of two- thirds to one - third, respectively. The
WHSMP was initiated as part of the -first maintenance project following initial improvements of
the deepening, project. Beach quality sand originating, from project widening, deepening -and
channel reconfiguration was likewise distributed between the:two islands -with sand being,placed
on Oak Island, as far westward as Holden Beach. It ,did not however include the Fort Caswell
oceanfront shoreline. In addition, the N.C. Beach and Inlet Management Plan (BIMP)
established for Region 1 — Brunswick County, specifically earmarks the use of Jay- Bird Shoals
and Middle Ground at the 'Cape Fear River Entrance as borrow areas for Region 1 shore
stabilization projects — and -in particular for Bald Head Island given its proximity to the two
depositional features. The 'latter are predominately comprised of beach quality material.

The Cape Fear River Entrance is a historically federally improved tidal inlet which
includes a deep draft commercial navigation project channel authorized by Congress intended to
serve the Port of Wilmington Harbor, N.C. Both the inlet's interior flood shoals, the exterior ebb
shoals, as well as portions of the navigation channel which are subject to shoaling with beach
quality sand; all serve as potential, sand sources necessary to meet the performance requirements
of SB 110 (as amended) regarding terminal groin mitigation — as well as supplemental beach fill
necessary to prefill a terminal groin. Depending upon the ,timing of groin construction, the
regularly'scheduled disposal of large quantities of high quality sand (typically 1 Mcy per event,
or more) associated with the WHSMP offers the opportunity for the applicant for a terminal
groin permit to strategically schedule groin implementation in, such a manner so as to utilize
beach disposal sand to meet, or at least supplement the initial beach fill requirements of the
enabling terminal groin legislation. This would not however, - obviate potential alternate ,sand
source requirements associated with long -term updrift fillet maintenance, downdrift mitigation at
West Beach, etc.
H. PHYSICAL MONITORING PLAN
A. Existing Monitoring Programs
The Village of Bald Head Island, NO (Village) has performed comprehensive beach
monitoring of South:,Beach, the Point and West Beach since 1999. Prior to that date, less formal
surveys of the "dry" beach (only) were also accomplished at varying dates in time. In 2008, East
Beach was added to the current Village monitoring plan., In 1 °999, the Wilmington District
USACOE likewise `initiated physical monitoring of ,Oak Island and Bald Head Island shorelines
— prior to the construction - of the last authorized channel deepening project. Elements of the
present day federal survey program under the WHSMP have also included portions of the ebb
shoal delta as well as annual condition surveys within the federal navigation project. Borrow
sites have likewise been monitored by the Village for a minimum period of 3 years after any
non - federally sponsored dredging project required for shore protection. Borrow site monitoring
typically includes both physical and biological surveys.
A detailed Island -wide Monitoring Report is issued annually by the coastal engineering
firm Olsen Associates, Inc., on behalf of the Village, which generally addresses:
3 , Olsen Associates, Inc

17 July 2014
1. Recent volume and shoreline position changes measured over the prior twelve (12)
months.
2. Comparisons of existing and long -term conditions relative to pre -fill conditions
documented since November 2000 by annual surveys.
3. Discussions of the performance of each last major sand placement project, (federal as
well as non - federal).
4. Recent navigation channel changes including those at/or abutting the Point — an area of
chronic shoaling and highly dynamic shoreline change.
5. Commentary regarding'borrow site recovery (physical and biological) for three years
following each Village sponsored dredging contract
Long -term average annual shoreline change rates (1938 -2000) for Oak Island/Caswell
Beach portray, for the most part, a highly erosional condition, averaging slightly less than
- 5ft. /yr. of recession. Conversely, during the same period of time the,extreme easternmost end of
the island near the inlet was determined to be increasingly accretional.
Both the ongoing (2000 - present) beach monitoring plans for Oak Island and Bald Head
Island being, implemented by the Village and the Wilmington District, quantitatively well -
describe shoreline` changes along both shorefronts. On Oak Island, all of the shorefront subject
to episodic beach disposal from ,the channel is highly improved — relative to its pre - project
condition. One exception (where disposal sand placement does not occur because of lack of
public access) is at Fort Caswell where a section of oceanfront shoreline has experienced a
documented persistent erosional hot, spot since 1996. At that location, published, average annual
shoreline erosion "trend rates" between August 2000 and September 2010 have ranged
between -4.5 ft/yr. and -8.8 ft/yr. Localized computed annual shoreline change rates at survey
profiles 35 and 40 „however, have been as, high as =90 'ft/yr and -200' ft/yr, respectively.
On Bald Head Island, shoreline conditions are much more spatially vafiable relative to
the 1999 baseline survey condition. As expected however-, the highest rates of documented
shoreline change at any one time occur along the western end of South Beach nearest the inlet.
Additionally, Bald Head Island has experienced mote frequent sand placement from not only the
navigation project pursuant to the WHSMP, but also from 'two (2) borrow sites — located at'the
entrance to Bald Head Creek to the north, and Jay Bird Shoals to the south. Ongoing erosion
4 Olsen Associates, Inc

17 July 2014
experienced on West Beach has likewise necessitated sand placements in 2006, 2009, 2012 and
2013.
B. Plan Purpose
The monitoring plan discussed ,herein is intended to meet the requirements of State and
Federal law addressing a.) beach restoration activities on Bald Head Island including borrow site
creation, as well as b.) permits for a .terminal groin structure proposed for construction at the
western end of South Beach — along with any attendant borrow site excavation (as necessary)
and resultant sand fill(s). The plan is likewise intended to be reasonable and cost - effective as
provided by the enabling legislation (G:S 113A- 1151(e)(5')).
Specific elements of new work associated with the monitoring of the terminal groin will' -
be directed toward the identification of — and quantification of — any detrimental project related
downdrift changes to West Beach which could potentially warrant mitigation. Interpretation of
post - construction surveys will be influenced by historical data detailing ongoing erosional trends
at these two 'locations. For example, documented beach ,erosion at West Beach over the last
decade (in the absence of the terminal structure) has necessitated several protective sand fills at
that location, with the most recent event occurring in early 2013. The latter occurred as part.of a
federal maintenance dredging operation with sand disposal totaling 1.8 Mcy placed ,at Bald Head
Island. Hence, an important component of the expanded monitoring program will be to not only
evaluate structure performance, but also to discern- any differences in downdrift erosion that
could be associated with the construction of a terminal groin — and that warrant near term
attention by the Village or which can `.be addressed by a reliably scheduled pending federal
disposal operation.
Additionally, the Village as Applicant for a terminal groin is charged with preparing a
plan for the management of the inlet and the estuarine,and ocean shorelines immediately adjacent
to and under the influence of the inlet. The Division of Coastal Management (DCM) ,has taken
the position that, despite the presence of the approximately two (2) mile distance between
islands, the spatial extent of the intervening ebb tidal ,shoal formations represented by Middle
Ground and Jay Bird shoal's, the intervening 'impacts of Western Channel and an episodically
i
dredged - navigation channel, some monitoring is required at the easternmost end of Oak Island.
The shoreline immediately adjacent to and under the influence of the inlet is the oceanfront

shorefront of Fort Caswell. Both the historical database and ongoing comprehensive beach
monitoring program being implemented by the Wilmington District at Oak Island more than
adequately meet the requirement for monitoring. Redundant surveying by the Applicant would
therefore be both unreasonable and not cost - effective.
C. Beach Surveys
i. Bald head Island
For purposes of documenting both future beach disposal and, terminal groin project
performance and shoreline change, The Village will continue to perform comprehensive annual
beach monitoring as carried out over the past thirteen (13) years at'Bald Head Island The survey
baseline for this work is, depicted by Figured. Profiles, are surveyed twice annually (seasonally)
on approximately 400 -ft. intervals. Profiles generally extend some 2400 -ft. or more offshore and
include the depth of closure for natural beach 'conditions — except where intersected by the
federal- navigation channel, or a major shoal feature. All surveys ate performed by a certified
hydrographic surveyor registered in the State of North Carolina.
Several additional profile lines will be added to the existing survey program in the
vicinity of the terminal structure (see 'Figure 2). In addition, the project surveyor will be
required to annually perform an approximate MHWL survey between Sta.'0 +00 and-75+00 (see
Figure 3). Each survey will be compared to prior surveys and utilized for trend analysis.
Digitally controlled aerial photography taken at approximate 6 -month intervals will likewise be
used to supplement analysis of the post - terminal groin shoreline condition.
The first post - construction 'MHWL- survey will be performed within 30 days of the
completion of the proposed terminal groin and updrift beach fill, thereby documenting 'the as-
built shoreline condition. The entire island -wide monitoring surveys will be performed on a six -
month basis at the same approximate time as previous seasonal survey program addressed by the
existing (pre - terminal groin) comprehensive'island -wide beach monitoring program.
ii. Oak Island
For approximately the past 12 years, the Wilmington District, USACOE has performed
comprehensive physical monitoring- which included both the Oak Island and Bald Head Island
shorelines. The purpose of'this program has been to examine the response of adjacent beaches,
entrance channel shoaling patterns and the ebb tidal delta to the Wilmington Harbor channel
6 Olsen Associates, Inc.

1'7 July 2014
deepening and realignment project. As a result, a comprehensive data base has been developed
which portrays shoreline changes at both locations for over a decade. For purposes of assessing
post - construction oceanfront shoreline conditions on the eastern end of Oak Tsland, the Village's
coastal engineering consultant will utilize publicly available survey data acquired by the
Wilmington District, USACOE (see Figure 4). Similarly, the consultant shall access and utilize
relevant federal aerial photography of the Oak Island area of interest.
Should the USACOE terminate. the annual acquisition of survey data on Oak Island, the
Village shall survey annually the east end of the island from !Sta. 60 through Sta. 30, including
half stations. The number of beach profiles surveyed shall not "exceed seven (7). That.data shall
be added to the database acquired by the Wilmington District beginning in 2000. Note — Sta. 60
is the easternmost limit of beach disposal by the Wilmington District on Oak Island. It is
essentially synonymous with the westernmost boundary of FortCaswell.
The Village's responsibility for analysis of post -groin physical surveying on Oak Island
will terminate if six (6) years of monitoring subsequent to terminal groin structure completion
fails to indicate a cause and effect relationship between structure installation, or borrow -site
utilization, and oceanfront shoreline change at the eastern end of Oak Island immediately
adjacent to and under the influence of the inlet.
D. Borrow Site Monitoring Surveys
The existing permitted borrow area located on Jay Bird Shoals was surveyed both
immediately prior to and after construction of the 09/10 Village sponsored 1.8 Mcy beach
restoration project (see Figure 5). Subsequent surveys are being performed at 12 -, 24- and 36-
months and biennially thereafter. The area surveyed includes a minimum of 500 -ft. of coverage
outside the permit limits of the borrow site. The survey is performed by single beam sonar on a
density line spacing of 100 -ft. Due to shallow water, portions of Jay Bird Shoal northward of the
borrow area, up to 72 -acres of shallow seabed may need to be surveyed by non -sonar methods.
In this area the surveyor may use single beam sonar on a shallow draft boat, or wading profiles at
low tide using RTKGPS. A1,00 -ft. grid spacing will continue to be maintained at this location,
irrespective of methodology required. Subsequent to a Post -Irene emergency dredging project at
South and West Beach constructed in 2011/12, a Bald Head Creek borrow site is subject to
7 Olsen Associates, Inc

17 July 2014
annual ,surveys beginning in January 2013 (see Figure 5). The project fill volume was 120,000
cy.
Permitted borrow sites utilized for locally funded sand placement operations at' Bald
Head Island' shall be monitored in accordance with the Permit Condition associated with each
project. Subsequent to sand placements required by the construction of'the terminal groin based
upon the borrowing of sand• from within the remaining (1 Mcy +) unexcavated (permitted)
portion of the Jay Bird Shoal borrow site; the northward expansion of the borrow site at the
entrance to 'Bald Head Creek; the Smith Island Range of the federal navigation channel, or any
other permitted site; annual monitoring of that site shall be performed -- pursuant to the ,term" of
the associated Permit(s): Monitoring results shall be addressed in each subsequent Village
annual monitoring report.
E. Hydrographic,Survey Standards
In general, the followiing-will apply to all surveys:
0 Surveys will be performed to meet or exceed the Minimum 'Performance
Standards for the USACOE Hydrographic Surveys. Specifications manual
EM 11110. -2 -1003, January 2002 (or its successor).
0 All data will be corrected for tide and heave.
0 The survey vessel will be positioned using RTKGPS. Soundings will be in
feet and I0t''s.
0 Vertical Datum will be local NGVD29.
0 Horizontal Datum will be NC NAD83
F. Aerial Photography
The Village of B'al'd Head Island will continue to perform controlled (color) rectified
digital aerial photography° of the island shoreline(s) twice a year — usually coincident with' the
timing of each seasonal beach survey. The present minimum areas of'coverage are the West
Beach, South 'Beach and East Beach shorelines. Oblique low altitude photography is likewise
performed periodically as required to document the occurrences of any storm, or man -made
event of interest. Any repair of the sand tube groinfield is likewise documented by ground level
digital photography.
8 Olsen Associates, Inc

17 July 2014
G. Reporting
A comprehensive report-of- findings will continue to be issued annually which presents,
analyses and discusses all data acquired over the prior twelve (12) month period. Of particular
interest will be beach and borrow site changes which occur over time and any potential effects
downdrift of the proposed terminal structure. Each report will, likewise discuss, consider and
compare, the relevant portions of the historical database as it relates to the most current survey(s).
All patterns of erosion, accretion or shoaling will be documented, quantified and
graphically depicted. For any project borrow site, map differencing will be performed ,annually
(and cumulatively over time) for purposes of visually demonstrating spatially occurring changes
in elevations due to shoaling. For the Point and West Beach downdrift shorelines, comparative
MHWL and aerial mapping will be- presented .subsequent to terminal groin construction along
with volumetric analyses currently being computed every 6 months.
The Village consultant will maintain and expand the present day comprehensive
monitoring report format and deliverables to include specific Sections which specifically address
borrow site construction and all subsequent changes over time, as well as terminal groin and sand
fillet performance and downdrift (post- structure) shoreline history, on Bald Head Island. A
separate Memorandum-of-Findings regarding oceanfront shoreline changes occurring along the
eastern end of Oak Island shall be formulated annually. The latter will be based upon publicly
accessible federal survey data provided by the Wilmington District, or additional data acquired
by the Village, if necessary.
H. Deliverables
Each Annual Monitoring Report, and Memorandum -of- Findings will be delivered to the
Village of Bald Head Island, off - island .Stakeholders and all relevant State or Federal regulatory
agencies within 90 -days of completion of the last survey performed for the reporting period of
interest. Additionally, digital data acquired or addressed by each Annual Report or
Memorandum -of- Findings can be transferred to ,an Agency or Stakeholder, upon request.

17 July 2014
III. MITIGATION THRESHOLDS
A. Baselines,for Evaluation
Both the West Beach downdrift, shoreline and the cross -inlet 'Oak 'Island oceanfront
shoreline immediately adjacent to and under the influence of the inlet have over 12 years' worth
of post- deepening (1999= present) survey data sufficient to document present day shorefront
conditions. Most data take the form of cross -shore profiling at intervals sufficient to document
volumetric change and contour location along the shorefront of interest.- Supplementary aerial
photography is likewise available to assist with the interpretation of survey data on Bald Head
Island.
The post -1999 survey data are considered most relevant due to associated changes in
navigation project dimensions, corresponding episodic dredging operations within the entrance
channel storm events and, most importantly, the equilibration of multiple beach disposal projects
intended to improve,.shoreline conditions on both barrier islands. Interpretation of the latter
phenomena will be extremely important since the temporal variation in shoreline change (volume
and location) — after a beach fill — is typically, "significant. Segments of both Oak Island and'Bald
Head Island have received, and will continue to receive, large scale beach disposal projects
(often exceeding 1 Mcy per event) in accordance With�the Wilmington Harbor Sand'Management
Plan (WHSMP).
B. Impact Determination — West Beach (Bald Head Island) (Sta 0 +00 to Sta 24 +00)
Both West Beach and the depositional spit feature known as the Point lie downdrift of the
terminal structure proposed for construction at the westernmost limit of South- Beach. As a
result, both are subject to change as the downdrift shorefront seeks a post - structure equilibrium
condition. Currently, it is expected (and supported by in -depth modeling) that a., portion of the
West Beach shorefront will potentially require beach disposal on a 3 -year basis — with or without
terminal structure implementation. The principal borrow source for interim small scale sand
placement at that location (if necessary) will be the expanded Bald Head Creek borrow site. The
assignment of "impact" on West Beach due to a terminal structure will therefore need to weigh
the following site specific factors potentially affecting shoreline conditions downdrift of the
groin:
10 Olsen Associates, Inc.

17 July 2014
• Interval between sand placement projects?
• Have average annual shoreline recession rates (volumes ,and MHWL location)
increased by over 50 %? Has beach fill equilibration been accounted for? Is
the duneline being impacted?
® Can a documented cause and effect relationship be assigned to downdrift
shoreline reconfiguration, or is any newly developed "hot spot" isolated and
therefore not the result of a quantifiable trend?
® Do _numerical modeling results support or refute the observed shoreline
erosion trends?
® Can extraordinary meteorological conditions be defined as a cause of
accelerated erosion?
® Have navigation channel maintenance operations changed in frequency or
scope
C. Baseline for,Action — West Beach, Bald` head Island
The baseline for action along West Beach (Sta 0 +00 — Sta 24 +00 by definition) shall be
determined by analysis of historical surveys along this reach acquired on almost a 6 -month basis
since 2000. Over this 14 year period, either the Village or the Corps have placed sand when the
limit of erosion reached "critical" condition portions — in most cases where the limit of erosion
was located at/or within the primary dune. All such landward limits of erosion locations are well
documented by survey. Hence, the "baseline" for remedial actions by "the Village along West
Beach is the point at which the limit of upland erosion reaches its historical worst case condition
— as documented by survey since 2000 — or is projected to teach such a condition in the next 6
months.
D. Impact Determination — Oak Island (Fort Caswell)
In depth numerical modeling analyses of Oak Island predict no quantifiable impact to
littoral transport patterns or rates and associated shoreline change at that location due to either
terminal groin construction or the continued use of the Jay Bird Shoal borrow area (to the'limits
of excavation permitted in 2008). The latter sand source was only partially dredged by the
11 Olsen Associates, Inc.

17 July 2014
Village in 09/10, however all modeling analyses (including the most recent DELFT 313 model)
have assumed the borrow area has been excavated in its entirety. Similarly, the model predicts,
no changes in inlet hydrodynamics of significance to any stakeholder, be they federal or non-
federal. Historical shoreline documentation included in the first USACOE physical monitoring
report required for the deepening of the Wilmington Harbor Navigation Project depicted a strong,
trend of accretion for both `the oceanfront and inlet facing shorelines located on the easternmost
mile of Oak Island — for the per "iod 1933 - 1,983. Most of that segment is located within the
privately held Fort Caswell parcel. Between 1983 and 1996, the same COE•report documents a
general trend of recession along the Fort oceanfront (E -W) shorefront and continuing modest
accretion along the majority of the inlet facing (N -S) shoreline. Subsequently, the Corps
likewise has documented (by survey) Post - Harbor Deepening annualized shoreline change rates
of -90 and -200 ft/yr at survey profiles 35 and 40, respectively — for the survey period 2000 —
2010. Those profiles extend,seaward -of the Fort Caswell oceanfront shoreline.
The most recent, published USACOE survey monitoring data for Oak Island (through
2010) indicates a near term general trend of beach stability (after two disposal projects) on Oak
Island with very modest average annual sediment losses. The littoral transport, processes
supporting such a condition are corroborated by the DELFT313 model. One exception to the
measured trend is at Corps baseline - monitoring stations 35 and 40 where ,the above discussed
localized "hot spot" clearly continues to ,be in existence. Both back -beach and dune erosion at
this location have been of recent concern to alocal interests associated with the Fort Caswell
property. The latter shoreline is outside, the limits of sand placement from navigation, channel
maintenance. It is'likewise, adjacent to a large scale marginal flood channel. Both the -lack of
direct beach disposal and the effects of the marginal flood channel can be considered to be two
of several contributors to the present day erosional hot spot
The comprehensive DELFT3D modeling performed on behalf of the Applicant
demonstrates no level of potential impact on any segment of Oak.Island shoreline. Nonetheless,
the Village herein proffers a "baseline" for the initiation of "mitigation" pursuant to SB 110, from
Sta: 60 to Sta., 3,0,, the oceanfront shoreline immediately adjacent, to and under, the influence of
the inlet. The Village shall deliver annually to DCM a report of its monitoring results. In the
event the monitoring results. disclose any,potential,shoreline change exceeding a,-baseline trigger,
a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) shall be consulted. The latter shall be comprised of a
12 Olsen Associates, Inc

17 July 2014
NC licensed professional engineer with substantial expertise and employment experience in
coastal engineering from the Village, Oak Island Stakeholders and DCM (one from each, for
three (3) total engineers) to review the results of the monitoring and analyses and to consider
,whether there is any terminal groin related impact on shoreline change exceeding the baseline
trigger. The TAC shall be formally established prior to the completion of construction of the
terminal groin project.
It shall be the responsibility of the TAC to confirm or refute any potential effects
attributable to any element of the terminal groin project, including borrow,site excavation. In no
event shall the terminal groin be deemed responsible for any impacts or shoreline change from
storms or other natural phenomena; including, without limitation, the influences of the adjacent
shipping channel or Western Channel, channel maintenance dredging, federal beach disposal
design, or any delay or absence of sand placement from channel maintenance dredging. The
Analysis by the TAC regarding potential impacts, to the easternmost segments of Oak Island (i e.
Fort Caswell) will at a minimum need to weigh, without limitation, the following site specific
factors:
® Are changes in oceanfront shoreline, conditions isolated, or are they the result
of a clear reversal or acceleration in trend?
® Has recent beach disposal occurred on Oak Island? Was the federal disposal
project continuous and adequately tapered at its eastern end? Did it continue
to exclude the Fort Caswell property? Is fill equilibration affecting rates of
shoreline translation? Are there dissimilarities in- disposal sediment
composition, compared to the native beach at Fort Caswell ?'
® Can regionally experienced- meteorological or other natural conditions be
defined as a potential cause of accelerated erosion?
® Has the pre= existing erosional "hot spot" identified on the eastern Oak Island
shorefront increased in magnitude (i.e. either volumetrically or spatially)?
® Does numerical modeling of terminal groin project related borrow site
construction, activities (for�purposes of obtaining beach fill) refute or support a
cause and effect relationship?
13 Olsen Associates, Inc

1.7 July 2014
0 Have navigational channel maintenance operations changed in frequency,
location or scope?
If the majority of the- TAC finds that a shoreline impact exists, because of the terminal
groin, and not `because of other causes, the Village shall work with the TAC and affected
interests at Fort Caswell to determine and implement appropriate adaptive response measures,
consistent with the reasonableness and cost - benefit precepts of SB 151, or subsequent law. These
response measures are below described in Section IV(B). The TAC may 'likewise recommend
changes to the design of the federal disposal project on Oak Island which would seek to
strategically maximize benefits to all properties at that location.
E. Baseline for Action — Oak Island (Fort Caswell)
The baseline, for consideration of action 'by a TAC from Sta. 60 to Sta. 30, the shoreline
immediately adjacent to and under the influence of the inlet, shall be determined by.analysi§ of
surveyed' beach profiles first initiated by the Wilmington District, USACOE in 2000. As
discussed elsewhere, in this Plan, that data shall be updated at least once annually by either the
Corps or the Village (if required).
The expanded' database shall likewise-be analyzed annually by the Village consultant and'
a determination as to recent changes in shoreline location reported in a Memorandum -of-
`Findings. Similarly, both an, "annual profile by profile shoreline .change" rate and an updated
"trend rate "'shall be computed for purpose of comparison with published annual and long term
trend rates measured by survey since 2000 between oceanfront survey Stations 60=30. These are
inclusive of the area of persistent' observed recession (he. mol @STA 35- and 40). Table 1
provides a summary of historical data for Sta 60 to Sta 30.
Should annual computed shoreline recession rates exceed•by 50 %, or more, the maximum
measured annual recession rate (since 2000) at one or more of the designated survey locations,
the TAC shall be requested to evaluate and determine the source of the. additional erosion.
Similarly, if the updated long term trend rate varies by 50 %, or more from its, last published
value; the TAC shall be requested, to evaluate and determine the source of the additional erosion
or reduction in accretion (since 2000). In either event, a specific determination shall be made,
and a report ,submitted to DCM, regarding any expectation that the causation of additional -
erosion is related'to the terminal groin project.

IV. MITIGATION
A. West Beach,
The highest priority for any required mitigation on West Beach would be alongshore sand
placement sufficient to protect endangered residential ,structures ,and the total loss of protective
dune formations. It is probable however that the timing of an expeditious (and sizeable) sand
placement project may be adversely affected by other factors such as design document
formulation, dredge availability, and public project bid,requirements. As a result, the following
interim actions may likewise need to be considered: (1), sand bag revetment construction along
the section of shorefront where threatened structures exist, (2) temporary borrowing of sand
mechanically from the updrift impoundment fillet, of the terminal ,groin — with placement along
the chronically eroded shorefront, or (3) both actions.
Coincident with any level of remedial action should be consideration of structure
modification. In most.instances, such an action would consist of rock removal from the structure
,crest sufficient to increase its, transmissivity to,sand transport. That is to say, its permeability (or
"leakiness ") would be increased Such an action .would not be expected to result in immediate
benefits, Hence, it should be.considered to be, a secondary response in the hierarchy, of remedial
actions, as noted above, and as discussed in Section V.
B. Oak Island — Fort�Caswell
As ,previously discussed, no probability of shorelme change at Oak Island is predicted by
the comprehensive numerical modeling analyses performed on behalf of the Village. Hence, the
previously discussed recommendation of the TAC if necessary — authorized to make a shoreline
impact determination — in lieu of just the Applicant. Any recorded increase in erosion on the
Eastern section of Oak Island that exceeds the baseline and is determined by the TAC to be
caused by the Bald Head Island terminal groin project, would most likely need to be mitigated,
through direct sand placement. The most cost - effective future source of beach quality sand is the
WHSMP, or sand dredged from within the limits of the federal navigation project by the
Applicant. Alternately, the Village may consider, in consultation with the TAC, other measures
to address the erosion, such as a sand push, sand stockpiling and transport of disposal sand,
sandbag ,or other revetment, sand placement redesign of the federal disposal project limits of fill,
15 Olsen Associates, Inc.

17 July`2014
or, in an extreme circumstance and absent more reasonable, cost - effective alternatives, reduction
in size or removal of the terminal groin.
V. TERMINAL STRUCTURE ALTERATION
As discussed previously, the proposed terminal groin is to be constructed as ,a "leaky"
structure with,some, level of reduced sediment transport continuing to occur either through,and/or
over the structure crest. As a rubble mound structure, sand permeability can be physically
increased through the removal of stones. Any reduction in effective structural elevation will
increase sediment transport across the groin. Increased transport would ,be conducive to spit or
dry beach growth on the downdrift side of the structure which, in effect,, would be expected to
increase sediment transport to West Beach. Such "tuning" of a permeable structure is often
desirable even if mitigation is not required Normally, tuning would not occur without the
benefit of significant post - construction monitoring, since the transmissivity of such a structure
varies over time — dependent upon the condition (i e size and elevation) of the-updrift sand fillet,
seasonal wave climatology, storm effects and 'other site specific - factors. In an extreme
circumstance, and absent more reasonable, cost - effective alternatives, effective "removal" or
major dismantling of 'the structure may be required.
To that end it should not be automatically assumed that if theThase I terminal groin fails
to meet ,its design goals that it should be completely removed from the shorefront. 'It is entirely
likely, that the subject rock .structure could - beJowered to the point that it is almost entirely
transparent to littoral transport — such that is posed no threat to the downdrift West Beach
shoreline or other interests located on Oak Island. At the same time however, a very low level
structure would serve to benefit the updrift — South Beach profile— albeit at a.significantly lower
level than originally proposed. That is to say, even without the creation of a protective updrift
fillet, a low level rock structure could serve to beneficially act, as a- "template" to the overall
updrift beach profile — thereby continuing to provide some level of benefit to both the island and
the navigation-project.
