Dear Ms. King:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions (WQC #3274) and the conditions listed below,
to conduct the following on the ocean beach within Village limits, to include East, South and West beaches of Bald Head
Village, Brunswick County:
1. To construct a post-storm protective berm by beach bulldozing, in the event of a major hurricane/storm;
2. To potentially disturb up to 3, 810,000 square feet of unvegetated beach.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that is listed above and that you described in your CAMA
application dated August 27, 2001 which was received by the Division of Water Quality. After reviewing your application,
we have determined that this activity is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3274. This Certification
allows you to use your CAMA Permit when it is issued by the NC Division of Coastal Management. Please keep in mind
that there may be additional Federal, State and Local regulations applicable to your project, such as (but not limited to)
Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, Water Supply Watershed regulations and Coastal Stormwater. In addition,
this approval will expire when the accompanying CAMA Permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General
Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purposes and designs that you described in your CAMA application dated August
27, 2001. If you change or modify your project, you must notify the Division (DWQ) in writing and you may be required to
send us a new application for a new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the
Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fill for this
project (now or in the future) exceed one acre; compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H
.0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and the additional
conditions listed below:
1. Turbidity controls must be maintained while bulldozing, so that turbidity does not exceed 25 NTU's
outside the project area.
2. The sand bulldozed into the post-storm dunes will need to be cleared of debris to avoid future Water Quality issues.
3. Contact this Office by phone or FAX to notify DWO that You are preparing to bulldoze

Village of Bald Head Island

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Bald Head Island is a part of a larger island group known as Smith Island Complex which is located at
the confluence of the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean, between Carolina Beach/Fort Fisher and
Oak Island, in the Brunswick County, North Carolina. It is accessed by private ferry service from
Southport, NC. Bald Head Island is the southern-most, and largest of the Smith Island chain. It's eastern
and south facing beaches are adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean. The intersection of east and south beaches
create Cape Point, from which Frying Pan Shoals extend some 22 miles into the Atlantic. The island's
west beach is adjacent to the Cape Fear River Inlet and its northern side is bordered by Bald Head Creek
and associated salt marshes. Bald Head Island is approximately three and one-half miles long and one-half
to one-mile wide.. The island contains the largest remaining stand of climax maritime forest in southeastern
North Carolina, and features old live oaks and Cabbage Palmetto Palm trees (Smith Island Complex is
the northern limit of its range). The State of North Carolina has purchased approximately 175 acres of
maritime forest, which will be preserved and managed through the NC Coastal Reserve Program.
Development of Bald Head Island is approximately 40-50% built-out, and includes a marina, restaurants,
bed and breakfast inns, golf course/club house, and associated commercial, multi-family and single-family
residential development. The project site is located on the ocean front within the Village limits of Bald
Head Island. It includes East Beach, South Beach and West Beach. South Beach and the majority of West
Beach are included in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer's Wilmington Harbor Project as an approved site
to receive beach compatible sediments resulting from the maintenance of the shipping channel in the Cape
Fear River and Inlet. The most recent beach renourishment on Bald Head Island was completed in the
spring of this year (2001).
The NC Division of Water Quality classifies the waters of the Cape Fear River in the project area, as SA,
and they are OPEN to the harvest of shellfish. The waters of the Atlantic Ocean are classified SB. These
waters are not designated as Primary Nursery Areas by the NC Division of Marine Fisheries. The project
area is located in the Ocean Hazard Area of Environmental Concern, as designated by the Coastal
Resources Commission. The designated Long-term Average Annual Shoreline Change Rates for this area
of Bald Head Island range from 11.5 feet/year to 2 feet/year.
The Village of Bald Head.Island is not proposing to initiate any work at this time. The Village is applying
for this permit to supplement their hurricane recovery plan, and provide the framework for a post-storm
response to dune/beach escarpments and storm over-wash. The Village of Bald Head Island is requesting
authorization to construct a post-storm protective berm, by beach bulldozing, in the event of a major
hurricane/storm. The project area would include the 25,400 linear feet of shoreline along East, South, and
West Beaches, but the actual length of affected shoreline, per event, would be determined during post-
storm inspections in consultation with staff from the NC Division of Coastal Management and federal
regulatory agencies. The applicant states that the project width would average approximately 150 feet.
The applicant has submitted two cross-sectional drawings for berm construction, which are typical beach
profiles following a major storm. The first scenario would be the re-construction of the waterward face
of an eroded dune. Bulldozing would be completed on the oceanward side of the dune to the vertical
erosion escarpment. The second scenario illustrates the construction of a berm in a storm wash-over area
of shoreline. The applicant proposes to construct this type of emergency berm from both the beach and
from sand deposited by the storm over-wash. In either case, work on the beach would be limited to a
Village of Bald Head Island
Page 3
depth of 12 inches below grade, and the resulting berm would be limited to a maximum width of 30 feet
at the base and 15 feet in height. The Village maintains an active dune vegetation and sand fencing
program which would be implemented after each storm event to assist in the stabilization of the
constructed berm.
10. ANTICIPATED It"PACTS
According to the applicant's calculations, the proposed project could potentially disturb up to 3,810,000
square feet of unvegetated beach The project would provide some degree of protection for Village
infrastructure and property owners located landward of the project area, following a major storm.

PROTECTIVE STORM BERM RECONSTRUCTION O>[V ?KftN`A #,G E M E NT
DCM-MP-2 - SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
ITEM:
1. EXCAVATION - The proposed activity consists of beach scraping and berm (dune)
reconstruction subsequent to a major_storm event. Material eroded from the existing berm (dune)
is expected to be transported seaward to the lower beach face or upland as overwash. The proposed
plan of action calls for the remov? of such sand deposits and the reuse of the material for purposes
of protective storm berm reconstruction. The permit application requests authorization for post-
storm berm reconstruction along 25,400 ft of shoreline. The actual length of shoreline affected will
be determined after the storm event. Depth of excavation from the lower beach face will average
1 ft =E. Overwash excavation will be dependent upon the depth of the sand deposit.
2. DISPOSAL OF EXCAVATED MATERIAL - The material excavated will be placed in the form
of a reconstructed berm (dune) at the pre-storm location and alignment of the original dune feature.
The proposed berm dimensions of 3 0 ft width and 15 ft height are maximum. The final dimensions
will depend upon sand availability and the post-storm configuration of the affected shoreline.
5. GENERAL - All work will be performed utilizing conventional mechanical construction
equipment. The Village maintains an active dune vegetation and sand fencing program which will
be implemented to assist in dune/berm stabilization.
OTHER - The Village's existing Beach Management Program includes a beach monitoring program
based upon an established survey baseline which extends along both West Beach and South Beach.
That baseline will be utilized in the appropriate relocation of any future reconstructed berm or dune
at those locations.
