SUBJECT: Comments for Surf City and North Topsail Beach's Final Environmental Impact
Statement, Pender and Onslow County; OLIA Project No. 1 1-0098
Biologists from the N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the proposed project
description, Our comments are provided in accordance with certain provisions of the North Carolina
Environmental Policy Act (G.S. 113A-1 through 1 13A-10; 1 NCAC 25) and the Fish and Wildlife
Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661et seq.).
The United States Army Corps of Engineers is assessing the feasibility of Federal coastal storm damage
risk reduction for the Towns of Surf City and North Topsail Beach, which are located on Topsail island in
Pender and Onslow Counties. The preferred alternative as described in the Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) will be to dispose 11.5 mcy of beach compatible material from acceptable offshore sand
sources to nourish approximately 52,150 if in length of ocean front beach with a long dune a berm design
constructed to a height of 15 ft NGVD fronted by a 7 ft NGVD (50 ft wide) beach berm. As proposed, the
renourishment cycle would be every 6 years after the initial constructions phases for a 50 year project.
The NCWRC have the following concerns and recommendations:
■ The NCWRC recommends that all work to be conducted outside of the established
moratoriums for nesting shorebirds (01 April-31 Aug) and nesting sea turtles (01 May — 15
Nov or until the ]at known nest hatches). Any encroachment in these time frames will
increase the chances for significant, adverse impacts to important wildlife species and would
require further consultation with NCWRC biologists before the project can proceed.
• The NCWRC is continually concerned with the impacts of beach nourishment on benthic
invertebrates. Benthic invertebrates are important food sources for foraging shorebirds and
continued, frequent nourishment events can potentially have significant adverse impacts on
these populations if they are not provided enough time to recover their populations to
sustainable numbers.

October 28, 2010
The DEIS discusses the proposed 6 year renourishment cycle that would start 1 year after the
initial nourishment event. To reduce impacts to benthic invertebrates, the NCWRC supports
staggering the renourishment areas so that the first renourishment event would start at the
section of the project area where initial construction began: avoiding the most recent beach
disposal area. Staggering these areas will allow a greater time for benthic invertebrates to
adequately recover to sustainable levels.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. The NCWRC requests that our
recommendations be considered throughout the 50 years of this project and that any modifications to this
plan be reviewed by NCWRC staff. Moratorium windows are important for the protection of our state and
federally listed wildlife species and we recommend that the project avoid any encroachment into these
time frames. Please feel free to contact me at [phone] if you have any additional questions or
concerns pertaining to this project.

FROM: Harry Le ran , Natural Heritage Program
SUBJECT: FEIS — Coastal Storm Damage Reduction Plan for Surf City and orth Topsail Beach;
Onslow County
REFERENCE: Project No. 11-0098
The Natural Heritage Program has a number of records of rare species within this large project area.
These include the Federally listed seabeach amaranth (Amaranthus pumilus), loggerhead seaturtle
(Caretta caretta), and other seaturtles. However, as the dredging window for the project is December 1
through March 31, to comply with regulations to avoid seaturtle nestings, our Program does not believe
that these species will be impacted by the project, and we concur with the statements on pages 196-197
of the main report regarding these species.
In addition, the material for the beach renourishment is proposed to be taken from offshore zones, rather
than from channels, existing, islands, or the mainland. Thus, there will be no impact to any significant
natural heritage areas from this project.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at 919-715-8697 if you have questions or need further information.

Develop Coastal Storm Damage Reduction Plan for Surf City and North Topsail
Beach
Dear Ms. Green:
As requested by the North Carolina State Clearinghouse, the North Carolina Department of Crime
Control and Public Safety Division of Emergency Management Office of Geospatial and Technology
Management (GTM) reviewed the proposed project listed above and offer the following comments:
f ) Federal Executive Order 11988 requires all federal agencies to comply with the National
Flood Insurance Program requirements. 44 CFR 65,3 states "A community's base flood
elevations may increase or decrease resulting from physical changes affecting flooding
conditions. As soon as practicable, but not later than six months after the date such
information becomes available, a community shall notes the Administrator of the changes by
submitting technical or scientific data in accordance with this part. Such a submission is
necessary so that upon confirmation of those physical changes affecting flooding conditions,
risk premium rates and flood plain management requirements will be based upon current
data. " The documents provided as support for 11,E-000-0098 do not include documentation
of expected impacts to the effective Flood Insurance Rate Maps or a reference to plans to
update the effective FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps for the project area.
2) The NCFMP provided comments on NC State Clearinghouse 09-E-0000-0040 including a
formal request for the USAGE Wilmington District to coordinate information and data for the
09-E-0000-0040 project with the on -going NCFMP coastal surge study, as well as a formal
request for the USALE Wilmington District to assist with outreach regarding the 09-E-0000-
0040 project during the NCFMP's outreach of the new coastal surge study. The NCFMP

requests the USACE Wilmington District also coordinate these activities for this project as
well.
3) Appendix D Coastal Engineering section C. Storm Damage Analysis d. EST Analysis 2)
Modifications to EST Frequency Curves states "Water level frequency curves generated by
EST for low frequency events (50-, 100-, and 500 year events) were unreasonable and exceed
FERIA surge level estimates for Topsail Beach by .10 to 20 percent. Adjustments were made to
these response curves so that they better reflected the FEAIA surge elevations. Also, the EST
erosion distance frequency curves were "smoothed" in some cases to result in more uniform
and expected erosion responses. An additional analysis using Automated Coastal Engineering
System (ACES) software module Extremal Significant Wave Height Analysis corroborated the
FEAIA extrapolated values. " The effective FEMA surge was published circa 1980 and
exclude post-1980 storm events including the hindcast storms listed in Appendix D (Bertha,
Fran, Dennis, Floyd, Bonnie and Irene). The coastal storm surge study is currently being
updated by the NC Floodplain Mapping Program in partnership with FEMA, the Renaissance
Computing Institute, USACE Duck Field Research Facility and the UNC Chapel Hill Institute
of Marine Sciences and will supersede the effective flood study. The NCFMP is concerned
that adjusting the response curves to "better reflect the FEMA surge elevations" is
inappropriate and ignores any changes in expected surge levels resulting from inclusion post-
1980 to present coastal storm events. The NCFMP requests copies of the EST analysis and
ADCIRC results for review and potential inclusion in the NCFMP coastal surge restudy.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have any questions concerning the above
comments, please contact John Gerber, P.E., CFM, the NC NFIP State Coordinator at [phone],
by email at [e-mail] or at the address shown on the footer of this documents.

SUBJECT: Proposed Implementation of a Coastal Storm Damage Reduction Program for Surf City
and North Topsail Beach; Onslow and 1Pender counties
REFERENCE: DCM#20100006
The Natural Heritage Program has no record of significant natural communities, significant natural
heritage areas, or conservation./managed areas at the site. However, the beachfront is the site for nesting
by the Federal and State Threatened loggerhead seaturtle (Caretta caretta). The Biological Assessment
(Appendix I) provides considerable information on nesting by seaturtles. Our Program concurs with the
proposed hopper dredging window of December I to March 31. We also strongly hope that all
placement of sediment on the beach can be done within this window, as well. .
The Federal and State Threatened seabeach amaranth (Rmaranthus pumilus) is typically an annual that
grows on accreting sand beaches, and thus is found mostly on ends of islands. As Iong. as the dredging
and beach renourishment can be done/completed within the December 1 to March 31 period, the impacts
to the amaranth should be negligible. Both the northeastern and southwestern ends of Topsail Island are
used by birds for nesting. Appendix I discusses these species. In general, increasing the amount of sand
on the middle portion of an island, through ocean dredging and sand renourishment, will favor build-up
of'sand on the downdrift end of the island and be favorable to nesting by birds (by providing more
extensive habitat), though this might take several years. Impacts to the "updrift" end of an island are
probably not clear. Nonetheless, it aright be too speculative to comment on the positive or negative
impacts to birds nesting on either end of the island, in regard to this project.
