Paul,
Although I am unfamiliar with the product, I cannot think of any problems. If it gets the project done sooner and
reduces the footprint of the action, then I have no objections. I don't believe you need an updated concurrence
letter since the potential for effects to listed species would likely be less.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] FW: Request to Modify CAMA Permit No. 24-03 - Alternative Sandbags for Ocracoke Dune Project
Gary and Travis,
NCDOT has requested a permit modification for NC 12 on Ocracoke to use an alternative style of sandbag on the dune
project on the island. DCM requested updated consultation on changing the project to use this product. Please see the
attached request letter to DCM and product information.
Please provide any comments you may have on this product, or if you feel an updated Concurrence Letter would be
needed. In my opinion, this product would totally keep us off the beach face and would avoid impacts to shorebirds and
nesting sea turtles.
Thanks,

After initial review and internal DCM coordination related to the modification request of CAMA Major Permit No. 24-03
for the construction of a sandbag structure to protect Hwy. 12 on Ocracoke Island submitted on March 2, 2020, DCM
requests additional information in order to accept the application as complete:
• Within the project narrative describing the proposed project, please give the methodology for filling the
proposed sandbags and reestablishing the dunes. This includes the location of the material to be used for each
activity. Please confirm that information contained within the project narrative correlates with information
provided on all submitted drawings.
• Updated workplan drawings and associated typical cross section/profiles, including dimensions of the proposed
sandbags and any resulting changes to the dune dimensions. Please date the drawings.
• Please provide information about any correspondence with the National Park Service regarding the proposal,
and if it is known whether a modification of the NPS Special Use Permit will be required.
• Please provide an update on any project related Section 7 coordination/consultation requirements with USFWS.
Thanks for your time and please contact me with any questions.
