A Declaration of Emergency was issued on March 13,2019 because of the significant damage incurred to the ferry basin bulkhead and stacking lanes due to erosion.The northern shoreline is actively scouring and requires stabilizing before the paved stacking lanes and protective dunes are destroyed. If continued erosion were to cause the existing bulkhead to fail, the entire basin would be impacted causing unsafe conditions for the loading and unloading of the travelling public. In previous years the north end of the island was permitted to re-nourish the beach adjacent to the hairpin turn. This semi-regular nourishment worked for many years but stopped being a viable option after storms significantly altered the inlet and the replenished shoreline began eroding away in as little as several weeks. In December of 2018 sandbags were installed around the perimeter of the stacking lanes as an effort to protect the lanes from collapsing into the sound but by Spring of 2019 most of the sandbags had been washed away and the asphalt had begun to crumble into the sound. 1000 feet of micropoxy 646 coated steel sheet pile is to be installed from the southeast corner of the active ferry basin,where an existing,dilapidated seawall exists,to a point north of asphalt stacking lanes. The seawall will be installed in front of an existing steel sheet pile seawall on the south side of the site within the ferry basin and then wrap around the north side running parallel to Hatteras Inlet.The basin and sound-side seawalls will be anchored together with galvanized tie rods and reinforced concrete caps that serve as wales. The site will require excavation and earthwork to install the tie rods and reinforced concrete seawall cap. The top 3 feet of existing sheet pile on the basin side will need to be removed to allow for the installation of tie-backs for the new seawall. A grout closure column will be installed at the south intersection of the new and existing seawalls to provide closure and prevent loss of fill material. Sand fill will be transported Mailing Address: Telephone:(252)621-6251 NC DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Customer Service: 1-877-368-4968 NCDOT PERRY DIVISION ]59 Lt1CM1 LANE Website:www.nedot,gov POWELLS POINT.NC 27948 from the dredge spoil site located on the other side of the ferry basin and be placed between the • new and existing steel sheet pile.The sound-side seawall will extend along the north side of the Ferry Terminal peninsula and partially extend around the north end of the vehicular stacking lanes without intruding on the inlet hazard area.The seawall at the stacking lanes will be anchored back to a buried steel sheet pile deadman with a galvanized double steel channel wale assembly.A crane will be used to drive the sheet piles with a vibratory hammer from the land. Existing dune and material will be temporarily removed to allow crane access to install sheet pile wall. Material will be stockpiled in the middle of the stacking lanes with proper erosion control devices.After complete installation of the seawall the site would be filled and regraded with sand from the dredge spoil site to match the existing dune elevations and reseeded with proper beach vegetation. As depicted in the drawings,the NCDOT Ferry Division would like to install temporary sandbags on the end of the sheet pile wall until the groin project is completed. The sandbags are needed to prevent any erosion from occurring from easterly winds. NCDOT proposes to use 3 different sizes of sandbags to fill in the end of the wall to prevent erosion;2'X5'Xl5',3'X3',and 4'X4' sizes would be utilized. The different sized sand bags will be used jointly to seal off the end as depicted in the drawings.The approximate number of sand bags is 40,depending on the depths at the time of placement.The approximate length at the top of the sandbag wall would be 50' with a width of 15',height of 14'and the bottom tapering with elevation.The tie backs would be installed over top of the sandbag wall. The sandbags would be placed in an area located partially within the inlet hazard area. Please use WBS# 15401.1048012 for any applicable fees. A hard copy of this letter will be mailed to your office in Elizabeth City,NC. If you have any questions or need any additional information,please contact me.

Wilt the project be for commercial,public,or private use? ['Commercial ®Public/Government ❑Private/Community b. Give a brief description of purpose,use,and daily operations of the project when complete. The primary purpose of this project is to protect the ferry basin.The sheet pile wall is also expected to help protect the area near the stacking lanes but the future groin project will address erosion in that area in more depth based on information currently being compiled through sampling, surveying and engineering. A shifting channel to the north of the ferry basin and vehide stacking lanes has caused significant erosion to take place on the north end of the island.This erosion has compromised the integrity of the ferry basin bulkhead and rendered the vehicle stacking lanes unusable while also creating a public safety issue. If the bulkhead were to fail it would impact the entire basin and significantly affect residents and visitors alike. By installing a new sheet pile wall on both the basin and sound sides of the point,the basin would be protected and the erosion along the stacking lane area would be mitigated. A Declaration of Emergency was issued on March 13,2019 because of the significant damage incurred to the ferry basin bulkhead and stacking lanes due to erosion.The northern shoreline is actively scouring and requires stabilizing before the paved stacking lanes and protective dunes are destroyed. c. Describe the proposed construction methodology,types of construction equipment to be used during construction,the number of each type of equipment and where it is to be stored. In order to begin installing the sheet pile the undisturbed land between the basin and the sound will need to be graded so that a crane can move along the point. 1000 feet of micropoxy 646 coated steel sheet pile is to be installed from the southeast corner of the active ferry basin,where an existing,dilapidated seawall exists,to a point north of asphalt stacking lanes.The seawall will be installed in front of an existing steel sheet pile seawall on the south side of the site within the ferry basin and then wrap around the north side running parallel to Hatteras Inlet.The basin and sound-side seawalls will be anchored together with galvanized tie rods and reinforced concrete caps that serve as wales. The site will require excavation and earthwork to install the tie rods and reinforced concrete seawall cap.The existing seawall on the basin side requires partial demolition to allow installation of the new seawall.A grout closure column will be installed at the south intersection of the new and existing seawalls to provide closure and prevent loss of fill material. Sand fill will be transported from the dredge spoil site located on the other side of the ferry basin and be placed between the new and existing steel sheet piles_The sound-side seawall will extend along the north side of the Ferry Terminal peninsula and partially extend around the north end of the vehicular stacking lanes without intruding on the inlet hazard area.The seawall at the stacking lanes will be anchored back to a buried steel sheet pile deadman with a galvanized double steel channel wale assembly.After complete installation of the seawall the site shall be filled and regraded with sand from the dredge spoil site to match the existing dune elevations. The open end of the seawall to the north of the stacking lanes is to be"filled in"with sand bags to prevent the potential future erosion.A variety sand bag sizes will be used.The dimensions and placement locations can be found in the attached drawings.The sandbags would be placed in an area located partially within the inlet hazard area.

PROJECT INFORMATION ,Project No: County: Hyde WBS No.: 15401.1048012 Document PCE • Type: Fed.Aid No: Funding: ® State [f Federal Federal ® Yes n No Permit USAGE,NPS Permit(s): Type(s): Project Description: Emergency Seawall Installation at north end of Ocracoke Island: Installation of 900 feet of sheet pile to protect the eroding area(along both the basin and the sound sides of the point)at the South Dock of the ferry on Ocracoke Island. Will also require grading an area to install a crane for use during the construction. For the purposes of this review,the Area of Potential Effects is the area around the ferry dock and the hairpin turn at the north end of the island. SUMMARY OF HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE AND LANDSCAPES REVIEW Description of review activities, results, and conclusions: HPOWeb confirms that there are no NR-listed or eligible properties within the project APE. The project falls within the Cape Hatteras National Seashore which is under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service. Project area was reviewed in in Google Street View and found no historically significant structures or landscapes in the project area. Therefore, no historic properties will be affected by the proposed work and the project is in compliance with Section 106 of the NHPA. Why the available information provides a reliable basis for reasonably predicting that there are no unidentified significant historic architectural or landscape resources in the project area: HPO GIS data, Google Street View, and previous surveys by architectural historians are considered valid tools for the purposes of determining the likelihood of impacts to historic resources.

No: Funding: ® State ❑ Federal Federal Permit Required? ® Yes ❑ No Permit Type:USACE Project Description:The project involves the stabilization of the shoreline in order to protect the basin in Hyde County,North Carolina. Erosion has compromised the integrity of the ferry basin bulkhead and rendered the vehicle stacking lanes unusable.To mitigate the erosion,installation of a new sheet pile wall on both the sound and basin sides of the point will be constructed.The archaeological Area of Potential Effects(APE)encompasses all areas of potential ground disturbing activity as depicted on the attached GIS mapping. SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW Brief description of review activities,results of review,and conclusions: Permitting and funding information was reviewed for determining the level of archaeological input required by state and federal laws. Based on the submitted"request for cultural resources review"form,the project is state- funded with federal permit interaction.As such,Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act will apply and the United States Army Corps of Engineers(UJSACE)will serve as the lead federal agency.Next,construction design and other data was examined(when applicable)to define the character and extent of potential impacts to the ground surfaces embracing the project locale. Once an APE was outlined,a map review and site file search was conducted at the Office of State Archaeology (OSA)on Thursday,June 13,2019. No NRHP eligible archaeological sites or any other previously documented archaeological sites are located within or adjacent to the APE. Examination of National Register of Historic Places(NRHP),State Study Listed(SL},Locally Designated(LD), Determined Eligible(DE),and Surveyed Site(55)properties employing resources available on the NCSHPO website is important in establishing the location of noteworthy historic occupations related to a perspective construction impact area.A cross-check of these mapped resources concluded that none of the above properties with possible contributing archaeological components are situated within or proximal to the APE. In addition,historic maps of Hyde County were appraised to identify former structure locations,land use patterns, cemeteries,or other confirmation of historic occupation in the project vicinity.Archaeological/historical reference materials were inspected as well.In general,the cultural background review established that no previously recorded archaeological sites,cemeteries,or NRHP listed archaeological sites are located within the APE.Based on cultural-historical factors,the APE is considered to have a low potential for the documentation of archaeological resources. Further, topographic, geologic, flood boundary, and NRCS soil survey maps were referenced to evaluate pedeological, geomorphological, hydrological, and other environmental determinants that may have resulted in past occupation at this location. Aerial and on-ground photographs (NCDOT Spatial Data Viewer) and the Google Street View map application (when amenable) were also examined/utilized for additional assessment of "No ARCHAEOLOGY SURVEY REQUIRED"form for the Amended Minor Transportation Projects orQuualifred in the 2015 Programmatic Agreement. Iof2 Project Tracking No.: 19-06-0019 disturbances,both natural and human Induced,which compromise the integrity of archaeological sites. Environmental/impact factors do not suggest a heightened potential for archaeological resource recovery. Brief Explanation of why the available information provides a reliable basis for reasonably predicting that there are no unidentified historic properties in the APE: The entire project study area is largely disturbed from erosion.There are no existing NRHP eligible archaeological sites within the projects APE,and it is unlikely to contain significant,intact,and preserved archaeological deposits. As currently proposed as a state-funded project with federal permits,no further consultation is advocated.A finding of"no archaeological survey required"is considered appropriate. This project falls within a North Carolina County in which the Catawba Indian Nation has expressed an interest: Hyde County.It is recommended that you contact each federal agency involved with your project to determine their Section 106 Tribal consultation requirements.
