The Town can be accessed by driving south from Wilmington on U.S. Highway 17 past the towns of Belville and Bolivia, then following SR 1500 south across the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) to the barrier island (Figure 1-1 cover sheet of permit drawings provided in Appendix A). The history of renourishment projects on Oak Island dates back to 2001 with the introduction of the Wilmington Harbor Sand Management Plan (WHSMP). WHSMP refers to the deepening project administered by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the periodic maintenance of the harbor entrance, within the Cape Fear River Inlet. The initial project by the USACE deepened the Wilmington Harbor in 2001 and placed material along the eastern and western portions of the Oak Island shoreline. Following the initial project, Oak Island has received beneficial placement of material from the WHSMP in 2009 and 2018. In 2001, the USACE also conducted a sea turtle habitat restoration project across the central portion of the island. The material for this restoration project came from Yellow Banks, an upland borrow area. This project unintentionally placed rocks on the beach still present today despite removal efforts by the Town. In 2009, the USACE dredged the Lockwoods Folly River Crossing and placed material on the western end of Oak Island's shoreline. In 2015, the Town sponsored the Lockwoods Folly Habitat Restoration Project, which consisted of maintenance dredging of the navigation channel within Eastern Channel with beneficial placement of compatible material on the western end of Oak Island. After Hurricane Matthew (October 2016), the Town initiated and completed an emergency dune restoration project to place material from an upland borrow source along 4.4 miles of shoreline. In 2019, material from the AIWW at Lockwoods Folly Inlet was beneficially placed on the western end of Oak Island's shoreline by the USACE. The eastern and western ends of Oak Island's shoreline experience periodic renourishment as sand is readily available from the inlets on either end of the island with established programs by the USACE. The central portion of the island has not experienced a significant renourishment event since 2001. The Town received federal and state permits (SAW-2018-02230, NC Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Major Permit #31-20) for a renourishment project in winter 2020/2021 to place up to approximately 1.1 million cubic yards (mcy) along 21,000 ft of oceanfront shoreline between 10th PI. W to SE 63rd St. (Stations 300+00 to 500+00). All past USACE and Town renourishment project placement volumes and extents discussed above are shown in Figure 1-2.

Summary of Oak Island Renourishment History NCDCM Major Permit Modification #31-20 Moffatt & Nichol 2021/2022 Oak Island Renourishment Project November 2020 1.2 Purpose and Need The Town is vulnerable to significant damage from storms since the overall beach profile has been lowered substantially, as evidenced by the landfall of Hurricane Isaias on August 3, 2020. Essentially, there is no protective dune throughout most of the oceanfront. The Town was recently authorized to complete an emergency sand push in September 2020 (CAMA Major Permit #140-10) to provide immediate protection to the oceanfront. Shoreline and dune erosion as a result of storm surge and overwash during Hurricanes Matthew (2016), Florence (2018), and now Isaias (2020) were particularly significant along the proposed project area. In 2017/2018, as a result of Hurricane Matthew, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provided funding for construction of a temporary protection measure in the form of an 'emergency berm' which placed approximately 25,000 cubic yards (cy) of material in the proposed project area to provide immediate protection to significantly damaged sections of dune until a full project could be completed. With the passing of Florence and Michael in 2018, Dorian in 2019, and Isaias in 2020, this emergency material has served its purpose to provide immediate protection. The Town is taking proactive measures to restore the oceanfront shoreline and dune while providing necessary protection. The purpose of the proposed project is to provide long-term protection to infrastructure from a 25-year return period storm event and provide additional protection at a known 'hotspot' located on the West End of the island. This'hotspot' coincides with the area the USACE nourished with material from the Lockwoods Folly Inlet/AIWW crossing in 2019. For the Town to maintain adequate cash flow, the renourishment of the entire oceanfront is being completed in separate projects. This proposed 2021/2022 Renourishment Project is the second planned over the next 3-5 years (2020 and beyond). The first project, the 2020/2021 renourishment project, was authorized under CAMA Major Permit #31-20, this second 2021/2022 Renourishment Project is to be covered under a major modification to that permit. The Town has been actively coordinating with both FEMA and the NC Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) to secure funding to mitigate for the extensive erosion experienced from these hurricanes. The project planned for the winter of 2021/2022 will be constructed using Post -Florence federal and state funding, as well as local funding. The project which is currently planned for winter 2022/2023 (or later depending on Town cash flow) will be considered the initial project for the Town's Master Beach Renourishment Plan. The focus for the initial Master Plan project will be replacing any dune volume lost in the interim, as well as providing advance fill for additional storm protection in the form of a recreational berm in front of the dune across the island. In addition, the advance fill will serve as the buffer to maintain the profile needed for the 25-year return period storm event protection over an expected 6-yr renourishment interval. NCDCM Major Permit Modification #31-20 2021/2022 Oak Island Renourishment Project 4 Moffatt & Nichol November 2020 The proposed 2021/2022 project features a dune designed to withstand a 25-year return period storm event as well as a sloped berm at a 20H:1V. In addition to the dune, some areas of the beach have a template that incorporates a berm at elevation 7.0 ft North American Vertical Datum 1988 (NAVD88) with a width that ranges from 15 — 55 ft. Due to increased erosion experienced at the West End 'hotspot', a 120 ft wide berm has been added to the dune template in this area to help mitigate the increased erosion. In areas where the existing dune already meets protection for a 25-year return period storm event, the template consists of only a berm width of 70 ft to meet the minimum construction fill requirements of 15 cubic yards of material per linear foot of shoreline (cy/ft). The template design varies across the oceanfront due to offshore bathymetry tie ins, existing dune conditions, and minimum fill requirements based on construction feasibility and equipment. However, all template designs provide the 25-year return period storm event protection. The proposed 2021/2022 project involves dredging approximately 1.667 mcy of beach -quality sand from a combination of Jay Bird Shoals and Central Reach borrow areas. The need for the proposed 2021/2022 Renourishment Project is to protect and preserve a large portion of the Town's infrastructure, tourism industry, tax base, and enhance recreational beach access for the public. During the proposed 2021/2022 Renourishment Project, the Town has several objectives. Those objectives are summarized as follows: • Provide protection to ocean susceptible infrastructure and property while maintaining tax revenues to the Town, County, and State. • Preservation of the environmental, cultural, and aquatic resources of the Town and County. 2.0 DECRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED ACTION 2.1 Project Description Borrow Areas The proposed 2021/2022 project consists of excavating approximately 1.667 mcy (includes assumed 30% dredge losses) of beach -quality sediment from a combination of Jay Bird Shoals and Central Reach borrow areas. Given the borrow area cut elevations in Jay Bird Shoals there is sufficient beach compatible material available to allow for all the 1.667 mcy to be taken from this borrow area, if necessary. However, up to 615,000 cy of beach compatible material is available to be excavated from the Central Reach borrow area. The use of two borrow areas will provide NCDCM Major Permit Modification #31-20 2021/2022 Oak Island Renourishment Project Moffatt & Nichol November 2020 5 the contractor with flexibility in constructing the project in a cost-effective manner, due to the distance of the Jay Bird Shoals borrow area from the west end of Oak Island. The Jay Bird Shoals borrow area is situated a distance of approximately one mile offshore of the Oak Island/Caswell Beach shoreline (Figure 2-1). This will be the second dredging event to utilize material from this Jay Bird Shoals borrow area, the first dredging event being the permitted 2020/2021 Renourishment Project. Other portions of Jay Bird Shoals have been included in previous renourishment events for the Village of Bald Head Island (Figure 2-2). The closest sail distance from the borrow area to the placement area is about 1.8 miles and the farthest sail distance from the borrow area to the placement area is about 10.9 miles. The proposed borrow area within Jay Bird Shoals is approximately 304 acres, the same footprint permitted for the 2020/2021 project. The Central Reach borrow area is situated a distance of approximately 1.9 miles offshore of the Oak Island shoreline (Figure 2-1). Portions of the Central Reach borrow area have been included in a previous renourishment event for the Town of Holden Beach (Figure 2-2). The closest sail distance from the borrow area to the placement area is about 1.9 miles and the farthest sail distance from the borrow area to the placement area is about 4 miles. This borrow area would be utilized to provide a cost-effective sand source for portions of the western project placement extent. The proposed borrow area is approximately 180 acres.

Oak Island Borrow Areas NCDCM Major Permit Modification #31-20 2021/2022 Oak Island Renourishment Project 9 Moffatt & Nichol November 2020 Using vibracore data collected in 2019 (1,000 ft spacing), three different zones and cut elevations (with 2 ft of overdredge allowance) within the Jay Bird Shoals borrow area have been identified. Since this is an ebb shoal environment, these three varying cut elevations are intended to maintain the integrity of the shoal and minimize the effect on the nearshore wave environment and adjoining Caswell Beach oceanfront shoreline. The borrow area cross sections are shown in Figure 2-3. Wave modeling was performed to quantify potential effects along the Bald Head Island, Fort Caswell, Caswell Beach, and Oak Island oceanfront (see Section 2.4). An area of approximately 304 acres within the outer edge of Jay Bird Shoals (Figure 2-4) has been identified to contain approximately 4.67 mcy of beach compatible material. The footprint of the Jay Bird Shoals borrow area is the same as was previously permitted, but the proposed elevations in NAVD88 for this permit modification are deeper as shown in Table 2-1. Table 2-1. Proposed vs Previously Permitted Dredging Elevations Previously Proposed Elevation Zone Permitted Elevation (ft-NAVD88) (ft-NAVD88) 1 -28.0 -26.0 2 -37.0 -31.0 3 -29.0 -27.0 While the proposed template theoretically contains 4.67 mcy of beach compatible material, this volume is significantly reduced due to several factors, such as: • The 1.1 mcy that will be removed to complete the 2020/2021 Renourishment Project. • The level of control/accuracy in the dredging process due to the unstable working environment (waves). • To avoid a permit violation, the contractor will naturally leave a buffer between the target dredging elevation and the permitted elevation; this can be as much as 2-3 ft. • The contractor will typically try to avoid areas that were previously dredged that do not have enough material remaining above the permitted elevation. These areas are both inefficient to dredge and pose a much higher risk of dredging below the permitted elevation. Thus, some of the previously dredged areas utilized during the 2020/2021 Renourishment Project may not be used or will be deemed too risky to use by the contractor. • There are shallower areas within the proposed borrow area where a hopper dredge may not be able to operate for safety reasons (i.e. draft of vessel is deeper than ocean floor). NCDCM Major Permit Modification #31-20 2021/2022 Oak Island Renourishment Project Moffatt & Nichol November 2020 0 If a hopper dredge is the only available and reasonable equipment to be used by a contractor then shallower areas of the borrow area will not be used. • The proposed project has operating requirements for a hopper dredge stating that the dragheads must stay on the bottom for sea turtle protection. This operating constraint is challenging to borrow areas if there is not a sufficient buffer of material below the contractor's target dredging elevation and the permitted elevation. The contractor will typically avoid areas that do not have a sufficient buffer. • Marine debris has been identified in Zone 2 and 3. The contractor will most likely avoid the debris by applying their own elected safe buffer distance for their dredging operations to avoid removing the debris. This will reduce the volume available unless it is determined that this debris can safely be removed by the contractor. After accounting for the 1.1 mcy removed during the 2020/2021 Renourishment project and the 2 ft overdredge allowance volume (buffer for dredging inaccuracies, not to provide additional volume), approximately 2.59 mcy will be available in the Jay Bird Shoals borrow area to meet the need for the approximate 1.667 mcy dredge quantity for the 2021/2022 Renourishment Project. Using vibracore data collected in 2019 (1,000 ft spacing), four different zones with unique cut elevations (with 2 ft of overdredge allowance) within the Central Reach borrow area have been identified. The borrow area cross sections are shown in Figure 2-5. The Central Reach borrow area consists of approximately 180 acres (Figure 2-6) of which 1.18 mcy of beach compatible material has been identified. After accounting for the 2 ft overdredge allowance volume (buffer for dredging inaccuracies, not to provide additional volume), approximately 615,000 cy will be available to meet the need for the approximately 1.667 mcy dredge quantity for the 2021/2022 Renourishment Project. The Central Reach borrow area is meant to provide a cost-effective borrow area for material needed for portions of the west end of the project. Detailed sediment characteristics and vibracore logs for the borrow areas are provided in Appendix 131 and B2. Material placed on the beach will be consistent with the NC Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) sediment compatibility standards. Placed material will be visually monitored for sediment quality daily (via visual inspection) and weekly (via sediment analysis). Weekly reports will be provided to the agencies.

Based on the bids received for the 2020/2021 Renourishment Project, the 2021/2022 Renourishment Project will also likely include placement over 4,300 linear feet, approximately Stations 460+00— 503+00, of the area permitted under the 2020/2021 Renourishment Project (Figure 2-1). The material placed under either project will not exceed the authorized volumes and permit extents. Sediment will be spread via land -based equipment and shaped into a dune. The beach fill will involve approximately 197 acres of beach and inshore area. The main fill portions of the project will contain an average of 50 cy/ft. On average, the proposed project construction templates will move mean high water (MHW) seaward approximately 93 feet. There are some variations in the construction template across the island, some areas with dune only (Stations 501+00 — 620+00), some areas with berm only (Stations 235+00 — 275+00), and some areas with a combination of dune and berm (Stations 210+00 — 235+00 , 275+00 — 295+71, and 620+00 — 676+36). These variations are a result of working with existing conditions to meet the 25-year return period storm event protection. The dune crest elevation varies between 13.0 ft and 15.5 ft NAVD88 across the project; the dune crest width is consistently 10 ft. The original design of the front and back dune slopes of 5H:1V have been a topic of discussion between Moffatt & Nichol, NC Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM), USACE, US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and NC Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC). The original dune slopes were 5H:1V to allow for public safety and access at dune walkover locations. A concern was raised about the lack of steepness of the original design of the front dune slope as it pertains to a sea turtle's ability to climb up the dune and nest behind, increasing the risk of the adult turtle or hatchlings becoming trapped behind the dune. The final design of the front dune slope was adjusted to 4H:1V to alleviate concerns for nesting sea turtles while maintaining the back dune slope at 5H:1V for ease of human walkover (the Town does not have structural dune walkovers). It is expected that the front slope of the dune will steepen quickly during winter wave conditions to a 3H:1V. This slope is close to the angle of repose for loose clean sand and is close to the steepest slope that could be feasibly constructed. The front dune toe will transition at elevation 7.0 ft NAVD88 and then continue out with a 20H:1V slope until it ties into the existing profile between elevation -1.0 ft and -10.0 ft NAVD88. Some locations will have a berm at elevation 7.0 ft NAVD88 and then continue out with a 20H:1V slope until it ties into the existing profile. The foreshore slope was chosen to best replicate the natural slope of the beach in efforts to mitigate significant profile equilibration directly after placement; NCDCM Major Permit Modification #31-20 2021/2022 Oak Island Renourishment Project Moffatt & Nichol November 2020 15 however, mild equilibration of the profile is still expected and will be monitored as required by the NC Statewide Programmatic Biological Opinion. In the eastern most portion of the beach fill between Stations 210+00 — 235+00, the construction template consists of both a dune and a berm. The dune elevation is 15.0 ft NAVD88. The berm elevation is at 7.0 ft NAVD88 with a width of 15 ft. The berm is included in the template to help meet a minimum beach fill of 15 cy/ft to ensure constructability for the contractor. Between Stations 235+00 — 275+00 the construction template consists only of a berm at elevation 7.0 ft NAVD88, the berm width is 70 ft. The berm width was determined to meet a minimum beach fill of 15 cy/ft to ensure constructability for the contractor. In this area a dune is not included in the construction template since the existing dunes provide enough protection for the 25-year return period store event. Between Stations 275+00 — 295+71 the construction template consists of both a dune and a berm. The dune elevation is 14.5 ft NAVD88. The berm elevation is at 7.0 ft NAVD88 with a width of 55 ft. The berm width was determined to meet a minimum beach fill of 15 cy/ft to ensure constructability to the contractor. Station 295+71 marks the end of the project on the eastern portion and where it will tie into the previous 2020/2021 Renourishment Project. The western portion of the beach fill starts at Station 501+00 which is where the previous 2020/2021 Renourishment Project is permitted to end. Between Stations 501+00 — 620+00 the construction template consists only of a dune. The dune elevation varies from 13.0 ft to 14.0 ft NAVD88. The dune will break at elevation 7.0 ft NAVD88 and then continue out with a 20H:1V slope until it ties into the existing profile. On the west end of the island in the 'hotspot' area covering Stations 620+00 — 676+36 the construction template consists of both a dune and a berm. The dune elevation varies from 13.0 ft to 15.5 ft NAVD88. The berm elevation is at 7.0 ft NAVD88 with a width of 120 ft. The berm width in this area was determined based on the quantity of beach compatible material available in the Central Reach borrow area as well as expected erosion rates. Station 676+36 marks the western end of the project. All the above described construction templates have been designed to withstand a 25-year return period storm event. Typical construction template cross sections are shown in Figure 2-7. Filling the construction template described above will require approximately 1.282 mcy of sand to be placed within the project area. NCDCM Major Permit Modification #31-20 2021/2022 Oak Island Renourishment Project Moffatt & Nichol November 2020 16 Taper sections which are approximately 500 ft long will tie the template fill into the natural shoreline at the ends of the project. The dune will be planted with native sea oats and bitter panicum; to be installed on 18" centers. A summary of the renourishment placement and fill is shown in Table 2-2. Table 2-2.

The existing ground survey demonstrates a severely eroded beach before any recovery, natural or otherwise (i.e. emergency dune pushing or placement of overwash sand), could take place. It is understood that conditions of the beach will change from what is being shown on plans by the time construction is anticipated to take place (winter 2021/2022). However, since the plans are based on this severely eroded state (worst case scenario) it is expected some recovery will occur prior to construction. This recovery could change what is shown on plans by shifting the landward construction template tie in seaward (out from underneath or right in front of homes) and possibly reduce the seaward movement of MHW or vice -versa depending on the state of the beach at the time of construction. In addition, some portions of the construction template on the west end (Station 647+00 — 659+50, 665+50 — 676+36) include a level landward tie in at elevation 7.0 ft NAVD88 behind the dune, which will be vegetated. This is to prevent the creation of a trench behind the dune and avoid potential turtle hatchling entrapment in the event a nest ends up behind the dune. By the time the project is constructed, it is expected that some recovery will have taken place to eliminate the need for this design feature, however it is being shown based on the Post -Isaias survey used to design plans. Of further note, surveys are collected on profile lines spaced approximately 1,000 ft apart, meaning that the survey in between these 1,000 ft spaced profiles is interpolated. This interpolation over 1,000 ft creates some inaccuracy from actual conditions. These inaccuracies are corrected in the field before and during construction when more closely spaced surveys (100 ft) are obtained. As described previously, the Town has been impacted by several hurricanes, including Matthew (2016), Florence (2018), Dorian (2019), and Isaias (2020) and has been unable to complete a large-scale renourishment project to restore beach conditions. As a result, there has been substantial loss of recreational berm, dune, and native dune vegetation across the oceanfront. As requested during the project scoping meeting, the construction template is overlain on the 2020 Post -Isaias aerial image (Appendix A) with the digitized 2016 vegetation line displayed for reference. NCDCM has proposed to the CRC to designate Unvegetated Beach Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC) for two areas of the shoreline. Both of the proposed areas, from approximately Station 430+00 to 550+00 and Station 660+00 to 674+00, are within the limits of the 2021/2022 Renourishment Project. With the absence of any existing vegetation it may be desirable to move the dune alignment further landward. However, doing that also moves MHW closer to structures and affects the vegetation line setback used for development purposes. The NCDCM Major Permit Modification #31-20 2021/2022 Oak Island Renourishment Project Moffatt & Nichol November 2020 19 location and alignment of the construction template is based on historical profiles and construction feasibility. It is important to the Town to maintain a historic dune and vegetation alignment which existed prior to Hurricane Matthew (2016). The design intent is to provide the shoreline with protection from future storms and ensure that this level of protection is continually maintained as part of the Master Plan. Inlet Hazard Area A portion of the Inlet Hazard Area (IHA) coincides with the western end of the project from Station 667+65 — 675+65, which corresponds with monitoring Stations 670+00 — 678+00. As noted in the Specific Use Standards for Ocean Hazard Areas, 15A NCAC 7H.0308(b)(5), within the IHA "no new dunes shall be created". The final design location of the dune within the IHA underwent several iterations, in collaboration with NCDCM, to adhere to the guidance. The monitoring station profiles shown in Figure 2-8 through Figure 2-12 display the available historical survey for the profiles within the IHA and how the construction template intends to restore the previously existing dune. The 200-ft spaced stations only have historical survey dating back to 2018. The structure locations shown are representative, as the profile applies to adjacent areas, and may not line up exactly with their physical location.

IHA Station 678+00 Historical Profiles with Construction Template NCDCM Major Permit Modification #31-20 2021/2022 Oak Island Renourishment Project Moffatt & Nichol November 2020 22 Construction Templates Equilibration To quantify the equilibration, or profile adjustment over the first 12 months (Willson, et al. 2017), the construction template at four representative locations within the project area were chosen. The SBEACH model was used to produce an output profile from the 2-yr storm which was used as an assumption of the resulting equilibrated construction template. Oak Island has over 9 miles of oceanfront containing 60 monitoring profiles. SBEACH modeling of the renourishment equilibration is not feasible at every location within the project limits, which is why representative locations were chosen. Station 220+00 was chosen to represent from 210+00 through 230+00, Station 540+00 was chosen to represent from 510+00 through 550+00, Station 570+00 was chosen to represent from 560+00 through 590+00, and Station 600+00 was chosen to represent from 600+00 through 630+00. These stations were carefully chosen to best represent the given reach. This analysis was only performed at the representative locations within the project where there was a concern that the recreational beach width would be negatively impacted during equilibration; therefore, construction templates consisting of a dune and berm (greater than 15ft wide) combination or berm only were not analyzed. The recreational beach width is assumed to be the horizonal distance between elevation 7.0 ft NAVD88 (berm) and 1.8 ft NAVD88 (MHW). The recreational beach width for the Pre -Matthew profiles was averaged over the profiles within a given reach and compared to the representative equilibrated beach fill template. The results are shown in Table 2-3. Within each reach, the recreational beach width after equilibration is wider than the Pre -Matthew recreational beach width; therefore, the equilibrated construction template will not negatively impact the recreational beach width when compared to the 2016 (Pre -Matthew) conditions when a dune was present within the project area. Table 2-3.

The model indicates that material placed in the dune and sloped berm will be transported to the offshore bar. Mild equilibration of the dune profile is also expected; however, this will act as a sand source for the sloped berm over time.

Representative Equilibrated Construction Template for Stations 600+00 — 630+00 2.2 Methods of Construction The proposed project would involve the use of either a hopper dredge or a cutter suction (hydraulic) dredge to excavate sand from Jay Bird Shoals borrow area and the Central Reach borrow area. Hopper dredges are self-propelled vessels that employ trailing suction draghead(s) to remove sediment from the seafloor. The draghead is equipped with various types of steel cutting teeth or blades and/or high-pressure water nozzles that dislodge thin layers (approximately one to three feet deep) of sediment from the seafloor. A mixture of loose sediment and water is pumped through a suction pipe into a hopper onboard the dredge. Sediment settles in the hopper and excess water is discharged via an overflow system (i.e. scuppers). Once fully loaded, the hopper dredge would travel from the borrow area to a nearshore pump -out station along the target beach. As specifically described by Hales (1995) the proposed methodology includes removing dredged material from the hopper dredge, where the dredge moors to a nearshore pump -out station NCDCM Major Permit Modification #31-20 2021/2022 Oak Island Renourishment Project Moffatt & Nichol November 2020 26 which is typically an anchored floating structure, buoy, or multiple buoy berths. The nearshore pump -out station will be situated in 25-35 ft of water and an underwater pipeline will extend from the pump -out station to shore. A hose is connected from the pump -out station to the hopper -dredge discharge manifold. The dredge then mixes the dredged material with water to form a slurry and pumps the slurry from its discharge manifold through the floating hose to the anchored floating pump -out station and on through the underwater pipeline toward shore where it would be pumped onto the recipient beach (Hales 1995). Once empty, the dredge would then return to the borrow area and the cycle of dredging and discharging would be repeated. Equipment refueling would occur as needed by fuel barge or at the Port of Wilmington. The position of the nearshore pump -out station and underwater discharge pipeline would be relocated as necessary as construction progresses along the beach. Cutter suction dredges are stationary dredges that are moored at the borrow area by either spuds or a series of anchors and wires. The equipment employs the use of a rotating cutterhead that loosens the material from the sea floor. Just behind or within the cone of the cutterhead is a suction pipe that gathers the loosened material from the sea floor in a material and water mixture called a slurry. The cutter suction dredge (CSD) is connected to a pipeline that stretches from the borrow area to the final placement location via a series of floating and submerged pipelines. Generally, a CSD will have approximately 1,500 ft of floating hose/pipeline directly connected to the stern of the dredge. This floating pipeline allow the dredge to move throughout the borrow area to dredge/gather the material. This floating pipeline is connected to a submerged pipeline that is laid along the sea floor from the borrow area to the recipient beach. The submerged pipeline is connected to land -based pipelines that helps to distribute the material throughout the beach placement area. Additional subline would be added in the borrow area should the 1,500 feet of floating line not allow the CSD to reach all permitted dredging areas. To collect the material the CSD swings the bow of the dredge (cutterhead) back and forth within the borrow area in an arc like pattern moving the dredge forward a few feet with each swing of the dredge. The cutterhead is engaged/buried within the seafloor to a depth of approximately two to eight feet (depending on the allowable cut depth) while swinging back and forth. The material that is loosened becomes fluidized and is pulled into the suction pipe in a slurry and is pumped directly to the recipient beach through the series of pipes described above. A couple of primary differences between the hopper dredge and the CSD is the hopper dredge removes the material in thin layer passes and may take multiple passes in order to reach the desired elevation; the CSD will take all available material to the desired elevation in one pass and generally does not cover an area twice. Also, a hopper dredge needs deeper water to operate within the borrow area because material loads into a hopper on the vessel, for transport, which NCDCM Major Permit Modification #31-20 2021/2022 Oak Island Renourishment Project Moffatt & Nichol November 2020 27 dramatically increases their draft during the loading cycle. Since the CSD is directly pumping the material onshore the draft of the vessel does not change and therefore can operate in much shallower waters. Placement and grading activities on the beach would involve the use of bulldozers to redistribute and grade the beach fill material to the proposed beach profile. Land -based equipment will be brought to the site over public roads and will enter the beach at existing permanent beach accesses. Equipment can be stored at staging areas shown on Figure 2-17. Existing vegetation on the beach will be avoided and preserved; however, any alteration of vegetation necessary for equipment access will be repaired to pre -project conditions following project completion. Daily equipment staging will be on the constructed beach seaward of the dune line. Construction contracts will provide for proper storage and disposal of oils, chemicals, and hydraulic fluids etc. necessary for operation in accordance with state and federal regulations. Work will progress in sections within the borrow area(s) and along the beach. Fill placement along the beach will typically progress at a rate of 400-700 linear feet per day. Construction activities will involve movement of heavy equipment and pipe along approximately 1 mile reaches over a period of 1-2 weeks. Once a section is complete, piping and heavy equipment will be shifted to a new section and the process repeated. As soon as practicable, sections will be graded and dressed to final slopes. Other than at temporary equipment staging areas, residents and visitors along the project area will not experience significant disruption to recreational activities except within the immediate construction area. The majority of existing public access to the beach will remain open at all times during construction, except for a few that may be used for staging/access areas, again see Figure 2-17. Offshore pump -out stations and appurtenances would not affect commercial or recreational boating. Based on other project experiences, one hopper dredge can excavate and place on the order of 10,000—15,000 cy in a 24-hour period. Dredging and grading would occur around the clock, thus requiring nighttime lighting on the beach and onboard the dredge. It is anticipated the proposed construction will be accomplished in approximately three to four months, unless multiple dredges are deployed on the project which would shorten the construction period. All beach fill construction activities would take place within the 16 November through 30 April environmental window.

This established a native grain size distribution for purposes of compatibility analyses with borrow areas. The native sediment distribution for Oak Island was defined based on the percent gravel, granular, sand, fine-grained, and calcium carbonate present in samples taken from 13 locations along a defined transect as specified in NC Administrative Code 15A NCAC 07H.0312(1). These 13 samples were than averaged to obtain a composite average for the transect. Eleven transects were sampled along the shoreline of Oak Island (Figure 2-18) with efforts to maintain required spacing while also avoiding recent renourishment projects. v..

The composite average from all 11 transects will be used to classify native material as opposed to only using the composite average for the transects that fall within the project area. A summary of the characteristics for the native beach is provided in Table 2-4. The table also demonstrates the acceptable grain size criteria for beach placement in accordance with 15A NCAC 07H.0312(3), which establishes consistent standards for native grain size for all future projects. The native material is characterized as fine-grained sand under the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Unified Soil Classification System with a mean grain size of 0.26 millimeter (mm). The native beach is coarse skewed and moderately sorted, as indicated by the native beach sediment statistics presented in Table 2-5. Table 2-4.

The investigation was performed in the area shown in Figure 2-19 between Stations 460+00 and 470+00. This area had received NCDCM Major Permit Modification #31-20 2021/2022 Oak Island Renourishment Project Moffatt & Nichol November 2020 31 nourishment in the spring of 2018. Results of the investigation found 58 pieces of shell material greater than or equal to three inches in diameter. Figure 2-19. Clast Survey Areas 2.3.2 Proposed Borrow Area Sediment JAY BIRD SHOALS BORROW AREA Vibracores in the Jay Bird Shoals borrow area were obtained by American Vibracore Services (AVS) in February and March of 2019. Figure 2-20 gives the location of vibracores and the bathymetry of the proposed borrow area within Jay Bird Shoals. Using a multibeam bathymetric survey collected by Geodynamics in 2019 (see Appendix C), volume calculations indicate approximately 3.69 mcy of material exists in the three (3) zones within the Jay Bird Shoals borrow area when excluding the 2 ft of overdredge allowance material. It is assumed that the first project in 2020/2021 will remove approximately 1.1 mcy from the borrow area, which would leave 2.59 mcy in the borrow area for the project in 2021/2022. The 2021/2022 Renourishment Project has an expected total dredge volume of 1.667 mcy. Therefore, the material within the Jay Bird Shoals borrow area will be enough to fully cover the dredge volume for the 2021/2022 project if the contractor chooses. The borrow area was divided into three (3) zones as beach compatible material exists down to varying elevations across the shoal. The dredge elevation within these zones was decreased moving onshore over the shoal to replicate the natural contours of the shoal system, see Table 2-6. The average cut depth, not including overdredge, across Zone 1 is 5.8 ft, Zone 2 is 9.8 ft, and Zone 3 is 6.9 ft. Since this is a shoal environment, these cut depths are intended to maintain the integrity of the shoal by not allowing waves to break closerto shore and cause unintended effects on the adjacent shoreline. A comprehensive modeling report for the Jay Bird Shoals borrow area is provided in Appendix D and a summary of the modeling is discussed in Section 2.4. NCDCM Major Permit Modification #31-20 2021/2022 Oak Island Renourishment Project Moffatt & Nichol November 2020 32 Table 2-6.

As noted, the sediment characteristics and statistics presented consider a composite average down to the design elevation for each zone. Appendix B1 provides a summary of sediment descriptions including mean grain size, percent gravel, percent granular, percent fines (<#230), percent carbonate, and Munsell color. The composite averages shown in Appendix B1 will be different than the composite averages shown in Table 2-7 and Table 2-8. Appendix B1 shows the composite average for the entire vibracore sample, while Table 2-7 and Table 2-8 show the composite average for the vibracore down to the design elevation (with overdredge) for each zone. The borrow area vibracores meet all the grain size criteria for beach placement as established in 15A NCAC 07H.0312 (Table 2-9). The typical sediment type in Jay Bird Shoals is medium -grained sand (mean size = 0.34 mm) that is coarse skewed and poorly sorted. This preliminary comparison shows the proposed borrow area sediments to be similar to the native material (Table 2-10).

The Jay Bird Shoals vibracore Munsell colors vary from gray (10YR-5/1, 10YR- 6/1) to light gray (10YR-7/1), some grayish brown (10YR-5/2) to light grayish brown (10YR-6/2). In Appendix 131 there are two colors noted for the vibracore samples. One color was recorded while the sample was still wet by AVS staff (March 2019). The other color was recorded by Moffatt & Nichol staff after the sample had been exposed to the sun and allowed to dry for a month (August 2019). NCDCM Major Permit Modification #31-20 2021/2022 Oak Island Renourishment Project Moffatt & Nichol November 2020 36 Comments received by USFWS, dated November 21, 2019, to the USACE on the use of Jay Bird Shoals for the 2020/2021 project noted some concerns on color as detailed in the following quote. "The wet Munsell color of some of the core samples are quite dark (values of 3 or 4). Wet Munsell color of the borrow material should be similar to the native beach material, and should typically have a value greater than 5 (regardless of the hue or chroma). It may be that as material is mixed during sand placement, the color value of the material will be sufficiently light, ...However, it will be important for the applicant to ensure that the material is suitable prior to placement on the beach." No additional color testing of the Jay Bird Shoals vibracores was requested by the agencies. NCDCM Major Permit Modification #31-20 2021/2022 Oak Island Renourishment Project Moffatt & Nichol November 2020 37 CENTRAL REACH BORROW AREA Vibracores in the Central Reach borrow area were obtained by AVS in February and March of 2019. In total, 81 vibracores were analyzed with respect to the NC Technical Standards for sediment parameters. These vibracores were grouped based on compatibility and combined into zones. Figure 2-21 gives the location of vibracores and the bathymetry of the proposed borrow area within Central Reach. Artificial reef (AR-430) or fish haven as denoted on the navigation chart near the Central Reach borrow area is approximately 85 ft outside of the 2,000 ft buffer as shown in Figure 2-22. No impact to AR-430 is expected from dredging operations within the Central Reach borrow area. Using a multibeam bathymetric survey collected by Geodynamics in 2019 (see Appendix C), volume calculations indicate approximately 615,000 cy of material exists in the four (4) zones within the Central Reach borrow area when excluding the 2 ft of overdredge allowance material. If the contractor chooses, they will have the authorization to excavate 615,000 cy of material from Central Reach to help meet the need for the approximate 1.667 mcy dredge volume for the 2021/2022 Renourishment Project. The borrow area was divided into four (4) zones as beach compatible material exists down to varying elevations, see Table 2-11. The average cut depth, not including overdredge, across Zone 1 is 1.7 ft, Zone 2 is 3.0 ft, Zone 3 is 0.5 ft, and Zone 4 is 2.3 ft. The sediment characteristics and statistics for the Central Reach borrow area material are presented in Table 2-12 and Table 2-13. As noted, the sediment characteristics and statistics presented consider a composite average down to the design elevation for each zone. Table 2-11.

The composite averages shown in Appendix B2 will be different than the composite averages shown in Table 2-12 and Table 2-13. Appendix B2 shows the composite average for the entire vibracore sample, while Table 2-12 and Table 2-13 show the composite average for the vibracore down to the design elevation (with overdredge) for each zone. The borrow area vibracores meet all grain size criteria for beach placement as established in 15A NCAC 07H.0312 (Table 2-14). The typical sediment type in Central Reach is medium -grained sand (mean size = 0.32 mm) that is poorly sorted. This preliminary comparison shows the proposed borrow area sediments to be similar to the native material (Table 2-15). Table 2-12.

MiinfPll ('nlnr Although no documented State or Federal criteria for sediment color exist, the USFWS has recommended that to minimize effects on sea turtles the wet Munsell color of sediment samples must be at least a 5. As mentioned previously, the vibracores were collected in February and March of 2019, after undergoing sieve analysis, the vibracores were then transferred to the Town in July of 2019. In Appendix B2 there are two colors noted for the vibracore samples. One color was recorded while the sample was still wet by AVS staff (March 2019). The other color was recorded by Moffatt & Nichol staff after the sample had been exposed to the sun and allowed to dry for a month (August 2019). All Central Reach vibracore Munsell colors recorded were gray (10YR-5/1, 10YR-6/1). There was one vibracore (Central-10) where dry readings for some samples NCDCM Major Permit Modification #31-20 Moffatt & Nichol 2021/2022 Oak Island Renourishment Project November 2020 42 were not able to be obtained, due to the vibracore section being damaged in transit. However, it is expected that these samples which recorded as a wet 10YR-3/1 would lighten since samples one (1) and two (2), which also recorded as a wet 10YR-3/1, lightened to a 10YR-6/1 after being left in the sun for a month. As the final dredging and overdredge elevations for the Central Reach borrow area were being optimized, Moffatt & Nichol staff had to collect dry color readings for some vibracore depths which were not considered previously. This explains the couple of samples that have a March 2020 dry color recording noted in Appendix B2. After receiving clarification from USFWS that the Munsell color recorded from the samples which had been dried for a month did not meet the recommendation as they were not wet, M&N staff took the dried samples and wetted them to then record the Munsell color. These results can be found in Appendix B2. Wetting of the dried samples did not take place for every vibracore, as many vibracores had similar Munsell color classifications. For example, vibracores in the same dredge zone that had same color transitions, i.e. AVS recorded wet sample as 10YR-3/1 and MN recorded dry sample as 10YR-6/1 were only tested on one vibracore in the zone that exhibited this behavior. The result from the sample tested was assumed to be applied to the other vibracore in the dredge zone with the same color classifications. Some samples once wetted, do not meet the recommendation of at least a 5. Most of the dried samples once wetted ended up one shade lighter, some returning back to the original wet Munsell color classified by AVS staff. Some samples appeared to fall between two Munsell color classifications i.e. between 10YR-3/1 and 10YR-4/1. Figure 2-23 below shows a comparison of a wet and dry sample taken from the first 6 inches of vibracore Central-08. In this figure the right sample is dry, and the color was recorded as a 10YR-6/1; the left sample is wet, and the color was recorded as a 10YR-5/1. Figure 2-23. Central-08 wet versus dry sample NCDCM Major Permit Modification #31-20 2021/2022 Oak Island Renourishment Project Moffatt & Nichol November 2020 43 Two studies by the USACE have been performed to investigate sediment color changes over time in regard to beach nourishment efforts. One study from 2013, titled "Dauphin Island Pilot Study: Color Change of Black Warrior -Tombigbee Waterway (BWT) Sand Placed Along the Shoreline of Eastern Dauphin Island, Alabama" found that "over the course of a year color change for river sand placement went from a wet Munsell color predominately light yellowish brown to a light gray and a dry Munsell color of predominately pale brown to white." This equates to an average Munsell value increase of 1.43 within 12 months. In this study the color changes could not be attributed to any particular mechanism and likely resulted from a combination of mixing with native sand, sediment transport, photochemical bleaching, oxidation, and/or alteration of iron oxide or other sediment coatings. The second study completed by the USACE Engineer Research and Development Center in 2018 titled 'Investigating Sediment Color Change Dynamics to Promote Beneficial Use Applications' focuses on "evaluating factors driving sediment color change with an emphasis on chemical processes". The study acknowledges that 'Although practitioners report substantial sediment color change after beneficial use project placement, the sediment color changes process and associated underlying mechanisms remain poorly documented." Further that, "Reported color changes likely result from a combination of physical and chemical processes including abrasion, sediment transport (e.g., winnowing of darker, fine materials), sediment mixing, removal of sediment particle coatings, oxidation of decomposable organic matter, and photochemical bleaching." The study found that "Removing carbonates, organic matter, and iron oxide coatings increased the Munsell value across all sediments examined by an average of 1.0 Munsell value. It also found that mixing dark fine silt (Munsell value <3) with another silt (Munsell value 4.2) resulted in Munsell value increases of 1-2 units. Finally, the study concluded that bleached sediments experienced color rate increases of 0.3-0.5 Munsell value. Sediment color concerns remain poorly defined but "A variety of recent (Maglio et al. 2015) and ongoing research reports the removal of dark sediments during the dredging and beneficial placement process." It is important to note that vibracores from across the Central Reach borrow area will be dredged and mixed together at same time, some vibracores having lighter color and some having darker color. As a reminder, all the vibracores within the Central Reach Borrow Area meet the sediment compatibility requirements as identified in 15A NCAC 07H.0312. Ultimately, the material placed on the beach will be closely monitored for color (and other sediment characteristics) to ensure it remains compatible and to the satisfaction of the agencies. NCDCM Major Permit Modification #31-20 2021/2022 Oak Island Renourishment Project Moffatt & Nichol November 2020 44 2.4 Jay Bird Shoals Borrow Area Modeling To investigate the potential effects of dredging the Jay Bird Shoals borrow area on tidal currents, nearshore waves, and sediment transport along the adjacent shoreline, the existing model bathymetry was modified to reflect the proposed after -dredge conditions. Dredging elevations were increased from the borrow area template that was permitted for the 2020/2021 Renourishment Project (Template 2). These elevation increases will provide the additional volume necessary for the proposed 2021 /2022 Renourishment Project (Template 1). The increased dredging elevations also provide additional flexibility and efficiencies for dredge equipment based on the bidding and construction history from the 2020/2021 project. The footprint of the proposed borrow area is the same as was previously permitted (304 acres), but the proposed dredge elevations for this permit modification are deeper as shown in Table 2-16. Table 2-16. Template Dredging Elevations Template 2 Template 1 Previously Zone Proposed Elevation Permitted Elevation (ft-NAVD88) (ft-NAVD88) 1 -28.0 -26.0 2 -37.0 -31.0 3 -29.0 -27.0 The maximum dredging scenario was considered for both templates, i.e. assuming to remove all the available material identified as beach compatible, 4.67 mcy for Template 1 and 2.95 mcy for Template 2. This assumption is conservative since, as discussed earlier, the dredge will not remove all this material. Thus, the results from the Delft3D model are believed to be a conservative overestimate of the potential effects on the tidal current and wave climates. The tidal current model results indicate that for the proposed Template 1 scenario, effects on residual tidal currents would be localized and small, similar to the previously permitted Template 2 scenario. This implies there would be no significant effects on sediment transport processes associated with tidal currents due to implementing the changes in elevations for Template 1. Figure 2-24 shows the effects of the proposed template (Template 1) and previously permitted template (Template 2) on residual tidal currents over a spring -neap tidal cycle.

Figure 2-24. After -dredge bathymetry effects on residual tidal currents over a spring neap tidal cycle The wave transformation model results for the 2004 — 2018 average annual offshore wave climates show that both after -dredge bathymetry templates within Jay Bird Shoals could result in a slight redistribution of wave energy along the Caswell Beach shoreline during moderate to severe storm events. Thus, sediment transport analyses were also completed, to observe if the changes to wave heights and wave directions would affect longshore transport. The sediment transport results for both after -dredge bathymetry templates show that the wave -induced longshore sediment transports could be reduced leeward of the borrow area but could potentially increase on shoreline segments both east and west sides of the borrow area. The net effect of these changes could result in localized adjustments in shoreline erosion/accretion. Potential effects on shoreline erosion in other areas are minimal, although some areas may experience increased shoreline accretion. Based on the model results of the longshore sediment transport gradients as presented in Figure 2-25, most of the potential increases in shoreline erosion would be limited to discrete portions of Caswell Beach (between survey transects 37+00 — 60+00 and 150+00 — 185+00). Generally, both templates show results close to existing conditions, with some areas showing transport rates above and below existing conditions.

Wave induced longshore sediment transport gradients along Caswell Beach shoreline Considering the results, there is no strong evidence that the proposed Template 1 would cause significant impacts in comparison with previously permitted Template 2, especially given that this is not a morphological model. The sediment transport inside the surf zone is greatly influenced by the imposed model bathymetry. Thus, the results only represent the bathymetric condition constructed based on the available data sources. Therefore, Template 1 is proposed to complete the 2021/2022 Renourishment Project. Given the dredging process inefficiencies previously discussed, Template 1 will allow for efficient and effective use of additional beach compatible sediment. 2.5 Survey Data Collection 15A NCAC 07H.0312(2) specifies 100 percent multibeam and sidescan sonar coverage of the borrow area and geophysical imaging of the seafloor on survey grids with line spacing not to exceed 1,000 feet. Geodynamics completed a survey of the Central Reach borrow area in June 2019. Data collected included magnetometer, sidescan sonar, sub -bottom, and multibeam, survey data collection methods and other information are detailed in Appendix C. NCDCM Major Permit Modification #31-20 2021/2022 Oak Island Renourishment Project Moffatt & Nichol November 2020 47 As a note all survey data for the Jay Bird Shoals borrow area was provided in the 2020/2021 Renourishment Project application and is also available in Appendix C. The results of the magnetometer data were reviewed by Tidewater Atlantic Research, Inc. to determine the presence and proper avoidance of any cultural resources. This is discussed further in Chapter 3.0 Cultural Resources. The sidescan sonar mosaic data in Figure 2-26 illustrates the relative differences in bottom type throughout the Central Reach borrow area. There are observed distinct sand ridges with a rather homogenous bottom type. The sub -bottom data was collected on grid line spacing of 1,000 ft, see Figure 2-27 below. Figure 2-28 shows a 3D diagram illustrating the sediment horizons from the collected sub -bottom data. The dark orange line represents the extents of the 'shallow' reflector and the lime green line represents the 'base' reflector or deepest, continuous reflector. The multibeam data collected, shown in Figure 2-29 below, was used to determine the total dredge volume for the borrow area.

Multibeam Survey Coverage of the Central Reach Borrow Area 3.0 CULTURAL RESOURCES The NC State Historic Preservation Office was consulted prior to offshore geotechnical investigations to ensure vibracores collected would not interfere with any known cultural resources. Tidewater Atlantic Research, Inc. conducted an evaluation of all 167 anomalies resulting from the 2019 magnetometer and sonar survey (Appendix Q. Results identified all anomalies were generated by modern debris such as tires, chain/cable, and small objects such as traps; of which 27 of the 167 anomalies fall within the 180-acre proposed Central Reach borrow area. No buffers were recommended for the anomalies identified. As a note the cultural resources investigation for the Jay Bird Shoals borrow area was provided in the 2020/2021 Renourishment Project application. NCDCM Major Permit Modification #31-20 Moffatt &Nichol 2021/2022 Oak Island Renourishment Project November 2020 50 4.0 PROPOSED CONSERVATION MEASURES The following conservation measures will be implemented by the Town and contractor to avoid or minimize potential impacts on the affected environment and federally managed species and critical habitat that may occur within the dredging and pipeline footprint, beach placement, and staging areas. In addition to those listed below, the Town is committed to Reasonable Prudent Measures and Terms and Conditions listed under sand placement from beach nourishment activities in the USFWS Statewide Programmatic Biological Opinion for Sand Placement Projects (USFWS 2017). Construction Schedule • All sand placement, dredging, and associated construction activities would adhere to a 16 November to 30 April environmental window. Adherence to the environmental window would minimize potential impacts by avoiding the following periods of critical biological activity: o Sand placement and dredging operations would avoid most of the peak recruitment period [March -September (Hackney et al. 1996)] for surf zone fishes in NC. o Dredging operations near the Cape Fear River inlet would avoid peak larval ingress periods [May -June (Hettler and Chester 1990)] for estuarine -dependent fishes and invertebrates, thereby reducing rates of larval entrainment during dredging operations. o Sand placement operations would avoid peak spring benthic invertebrate recruitment periods in NC [May through September (Hackney et al. 1996, Diaz 1980, Reilly and Bellis 1978)]; thereby reducing the duration of direct impacts on intertidal beach benthic infaunal communities that constitute the prey -base for demersal surf zone fishes. o Borrow area dredging operations would avoid peak spring benthic invertebrate recruitment periods in NC [May through September (Hackney et al. 1996, Diaz 1980, Reilly and Bellis 1978)]; thereby reducing the duration of direct impacts on subtidal soft bottom benthic invertebrate communities that constitute the prey - base for nearshore demersal fishes. Construction Methods • Good Engineering Practices and Best Management Practices would be applied to all sand placement and dredging activities. NCDCM Major Permit Modification #31-20 2021/2022 Oak Island Renourishment Project Moffatt & Nichol November 2020 51 Sand Placement • Pipelines will be equipped with spreaders to reduce effluent discharge velocities during sand -slurry placement. As appropriate, temporary longitudinal sand dikes would be used to contain and direct the horizontal flow of the discharged sand -slurry along the beach. These measures would maximize sediment retention within the designated placement area, thereby minimizing potential surf zone turbidity effects. • Sand delivery pipelines will be routinely inspected for pressurized leaks and any leaks that are found would be immediately repaired. • All sediment and erosion control measures shall be equal to or exceed the requirements of the NC Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. • Construction equipment and activities will not be near the bare sand area adjacent to the inlet where many protected avian species forage and nest. The Town conducted three years of shorebird monitoring to analyze habitat use within the inlet complex (See Shorebird Monitoring Report in Appendix F). Dredging • A hydrographic survey covering the entire area where the dredge is expected to operate will be conducted before and after the dredging event. • The contractor will be required to comply with requirements stated in the 2020 South Atlantic Regional Biological Opinion (SARBO 2020). • Operation and Dredging Endangered Species System (ODESS) — the dredge should be equipped with a tablet running ODESS software to track and document the presence of sea turtle, sturgeon, and marine mammal species during dredge operations. The system must be connected to the internet and be a stand-alone system, as well as have the USACE ODESS data collection and reporting software (ODESS Field Collector Tool). • Dredging contractors will be required to maintain spill control plans and waste management plans for all dredging fleet equipment. Sediment Compatibility • All material placed on the beach and in associated dune systems would consist of beach compatible sand that meets NC Technical Standards for Beach Fill Projects (15A NCAC 07H.0312). Monitoring of fill material at the pipeline outfall will be conducted daily by the contractor throughout sand placement operations. If dredging operations encounter non - compatible material, the contractor will cease operations and immediately contact the USACE Wilmington District Regulatory Branch and NCDCM to determine the appropriate course of corrective action. The use of only sand that is compatible with the native beach would reduce the extent and duration of direct impacts on intertidal beach benthic infaunal communities and sea turtle nesting. NCDCM Major Permit Modification #31-20 2021/2022 Oak Island Renourishment Project Moffatt & Nichol November 2020 52 • Should dredging operations encounter incompatible sand, the dredge operator will cease operations immediately and contact NCDCM. Post -Construction Monitoring • The NCDCM and USACE hosted a meeting in January 2020 to discuss the 2020/2021 Renourishment Project with neighboring stakeholders (Caswell Beach and the Village of Bald Head Island) in which a monitoring plan was discussed associated with use of the Jay Bird Shoals borrow area. As agreed by all parties, the Town will monitor the Caswell Beach shoreline annually for three (3) years post -construction to investigate any potential shoreline change effects. Further details on the post -construction monitoring procedure can be found in Appendix G. Figure 4-1 below shows the extents of the proposed monitoring. For comparison, it also shows the extents of Bald Head Island's current monitoring efforts on Caswell Beach. • The Town will monitor the permitted dredged area, and sediment accumulation (infill) rates within Jay Bird Shoals, including all areas located 500 feet outside of the dredged area, for a period of three years after dredging. The first survey should be completed within 30 days upon completion of dredging. Reporting • The Town will notify the state and federal resource agencies in the event the contractor is able to remove the marine debris intact. Any marine debris encountered during dredging operations will be disposed of in an appropriate location. If any submerged cultural resources are encountered during dredge operations, the contractor will cease dredging immediately. • All shoreline monitoring reports will be submitted to the State and Federal resource agencies by December 31 of each year. Threatened and Endangered Species • Based on recommendations by USFWS and NCWRC, the dune slope design was adjusted to 4H:1V on the oceanfront side to avoid sea turtles and hatchlings becoming entrapped on the backside of the dune. • West Indian Manatee Protection — the contractor will implement the USFWS's Manatee Guidelines found at http://saw-reg.usace.army.mil/ESA/manatee guidelines.pdf. • Sea Turtle Incidental Data Form - If a sea turtle or its remains are found during dredging, a Sea Turtle Incidental Data Form will be completed and submitted to the ODESS database as soon as possible (not to exceed 6 hours after the incident). NCDCM Major Permit Modification #31-20 2021/2022 Oak Island Renourishment Project Moffatt & Nichol November 2020 53 • Sturgeon Incidental Data Form - If a sturgeon or its remains are found during dredging, a Sturgeon Incidental Data Form must be completed and submitted to the ODESS database as soon as possible (not to exceed 6 hours after the incident). • During dredging, observers approved by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration — Fisheries for sea turtles, sturgeon, and whale will be aboard to monitor for presence of the species. • To protect NC Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) Artificial Reef 425, a 2,000 ft radius will be maintained in all directions from a center point location of 33°53.048' N,-78006.525' W. • To protect NC DMF Artificial Reef 430, a 2,000 ft radius will be maintained in all directions from a center point location of 33°52.1898' N,-78°10.0002' W.

PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing to expand their beach nourishment project to include McGlamery St to SE 63rd St and between 7th/1 Oth PL W to the West End Beach Access. North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Coastal Management Wilmington Office 127 Cardinal Drive Extension 1 Wilmington, North Carolina 28405 910.796.7215 Town of Oak Island Beach Nourishment- Major Modification P31-20 Page Two 9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Town of Oak Island is located on a south facing barrier island in Brunswick County between Lockwoods Folly Inlet and the Town of Holden Beach to the west, and the Town of Caswell Beach and the Cape Fear River to the east. The Town of Caswell Beach is also located on the island. The Town of Oak Island is approximately 9 miles in length. It is also bordered by the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the south. The island is accessed via 2 bridges. The western bridge leads into the Town of Oak Island located off NC Highway 211 via Middleton Blvd. The eastern bridge leads onto the island between Oak Island and Caswell Beach and is accessed from NC Highway 133. This is a proposed modification to the Town's State CAMA/Dredge & Fill Permit No. 31-20 which was issued in early 2020 (USACE AID# SAW-2018-02230 and DWR Project 92018-1344). A minor modification was issued shortly thereafter to potentially authorize the removal of a buffer in the borrow area, should a reported magnetic anomaly be identified as marine debris and removed from the borrow site. The proposed project would extend the previously permitted project to include the entire oceanfront shoreline of the Town of Oak Island. The long-term erosion rate for the proposed project area ranges from 0'-2.6'/year. The Division's calculated 100-year storm recession line for the island was predicted to be 180'. Oak Island has experienced significant beach erosion within the last several years as a result of the numerous recent tropical storms and hurricanes that have affected our coast. In the original application, the permittee identified a --304 acre borrow site off Jay Bird Shoals to supply sand for the project. Water depths at the site varied from approximately -20 to -28' NAVD88. Sediments collected via Vibracore samples within the borrow site showed a Unified Soils Classification System (USCS) designation of predominantly SP-SM or SW. Gravel sized material (>4.76mm) ranged from 0- 7% with a maximum composite weight of 4.25%. Fines (<0.0625 mm) in individual samples ranged from 1.29% to 9.87% with a maximum composite weight of 6.79% overall. A low -intensity, long -duration linear feature was originally identified within the borrow site by a remote sensing survey and a minimum 50' buffer area on each side of the anomaly is proposed (see Appendix D- Archeological Remote Sensing for more information). A follow-up Phase II Remote -Sensing Archeological Survey was later submitted for inclusion in the application package and a request to remove the buffer was later submitted as a minor modification request as the anomaly is believed to be modern debris. Dredge depths were divided into three zones: Zone 1 with an excavation depth of -26' NAVD88, Zone 2 with an excavation depth of -31' NAVD88, and Zone 3's permitted dredge depth was -27' NAVD88. The previously permitted placement area extended from 10t1i Place West to SE 63`d Street (-21,000 feet). The beach fill template included berm fill to an elevation of+7' NAVD 88 with a 20: 1 slope out to tie into existing grade from - I' to -10' NAVD88 and a dune at an elevation ranging from 13.5' to 14.5' NAVD88, constructed with a 6' wide dune crest, and at a 5:1 slope. Excavation was calculated at 1.1 million cubic yards with an anticipated final net fill volume of approximately 846,000 cubic yards due to expected dredge losses. The native beach was characterized using data collected by Athena. Fines were calculated at 1.88%, with sand comprising 98.96%, and granular and gravel material each at less than 1%.

Since the original beach nourishment project was permitted, Hurricane Isaias resulted in significant erosion of the beach. In response, the Town's major permit for beach bulldozing was modified to allow them to bulldoze the damaged dune system. This work has been completed. The Town is also repairing dunes by replacing storm -overwashed sand lost from the beach and dune system via truck haul. This latter work is exempt from CAMA permitting requirements as it is defined in the Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) roles as maintenance and repair. This work is being conducted at the present time. The waters in the project area fall within the Lumber and Cape Fear River Basins, as classified by the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR). The waters of the Atlantic Ocean are classified as SB by the DWR. The NC Division of Marine Fisheries has NOT designated any of the areas to be impacted as a Primary Nursery Area, and there are no foreseen impacts to shellfish resources at this time. PROPOSED PROJECT: The applicant is proposing to expand the limits of the previously permitted beach nourishment and dune building project for the Town of Oak Island. The project site extends the distance of the previously permitted project approximately 26,100 additional linear feet in total, with 2 reaches extending from McGlamery St to SE 63rd St, and a second reach starting between 7" & 1 Oth PL W and extending to the West End Beach Access. The beach berm would be filled to an elevation of+7' NAVD 88 with a 20: 1 slope out to tie into existing grade from -1' to -9' NAVD88 (MLW= -2.9' NAVD88). An engineered "starter dune" is also proposed along the majority of the expanded area with a maximum elevation ranging from +13.0' to +15.5' NAVD88, to be constructed with a 10' wide dune crest, and with a 4:1 slope on the waterward side and a 5:1 slope on the landward side. This design appears to advance the proposed engineered dune to (or in one area waterward of) the current MHW line along part of the project area. Anticipated fill volumes for the project would place a minimum of 15 with an average of 50 cubic yards per linear foot. As proposed, a gross excavated volume of up to 1.667 million Cubic yards of sand has been calculated to account for an estimated placement loss of up to 30%. A total fill volume of approximately 1,282,000 cubic yards is anticipated to be placed on the beach, given current conditions. It is currently estimated that 5,852,607 square feet would be filled below MHW (535,834 cubic yards). Of that material, approximately 2,150,482 square feet (191,049 cubic yards) would also be located below MEW. Approximately 2,740,996 square feet (746,166 cubic yards) of beach fill material would be placed above the MHW line. The applicant also estimates approximately 93' of fill would be placed water -ward of the current MHW line on average, within a maximum projected distance of 279' of fill placed below MHW. A table provided by the applicant in the narrative (Table 2-3) shows the average pre -Matthew beach width ranging from 57'-69', and the average anticipated post -construction equilibrated beach width ranging from 73'-96'. However, it should be noted that the estimates provided are based on a single "representative profile" for each area (4 profiles in total for the project area) and estimated equilibration was simulated using SBEACH and a 2-year return period storm. While the applicant asserts the estimated equilibrated recreational beach width (the distance between +7' NAVD88 to MHW) will increase the beach width that existed prior to Hurricane Matthew, there appears to be potential for post -equilibration narrowing of the beach width should Oak Island experience more than a 2-year storm.. The applicant has also stated this project is the second phase of the Town's overall plan, and the Town still intends to apply for a more comprehensive beach restoration project in the near future, but there is no apparent North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of Coastal Management Wilmington Office 127 Cardinal Drive Extension I Wilmington, North Carolina 28405 910.7967215 Town of Oak Island Beach Nourishment- Major Modification #31-20 Page Four guarantee of future projects at this time; as stated in the narrative, future projects are dependent on funding. The application states the purpose of the project, which is designed to withstand a 25-year return period storm event, is to protect infrastructure and property while maintaining tax revenues to the Town, County and State, as well as to preserve the environmental, cultural, and aquatic resources of the Town and County. Planting of dune vegetation is also proposed on the crest and backslope of the proposed started dune. This would likely facilitate the establishment of stable, natural vegetation. And while the applicant states the importance of maintaining the pre -Matthew dune and location of stable, natural vegetation to protect construction setbacks, the project design shifts the starter dune waterward of the frontal dune's pre -Matthew location, as shown in the profile drawings included in Appendix J- Supplemental Profiles and Figures 2-8 and 2-9 of the narrative (Project Stations 667+65 & 669+65). The applicant states the entire volume of material will still be available in the previously permitted Jay Bird Shoals site, as proposed, although they are also requesting to allow dredging from a second borrow area at Central Reach, The Jay Bird Shoals site has been divided into three zones: Zone 1 would be excavated to a depth of -26' NAVD88, with a proposed 2' dredge overdepth allowance proposed for the entire borrow area. Therefore, maximum proposed dredge depth for Zone 1 would be -28' NAVD88. Zone 2 would be excavated to a design depth of -35' (+2') NAVD88 and Zone 3's proposed dredge depth is -27' (+2') NAVD88. This is a change from the originally permitted dredge depths to account for overdredge allowance not included in the original application for Zones 1 and 3 and dredge additional depth in Zone 2. The sediment analysis has been updated for the site to account for the additional dredge depth. The mean grain size for the Jay Bird Shoals borrow area, as reported based on a revised composite of applicable vibracore samples within the newly proposed dredged depths, is 0.27mm. Gravel is reported at 1.27%, granular material at 3.57%, fines at 4.61%, and calcium carbonate is now reported at 13.98%. The applicant estimates the volume of material available in the Jay Bird Shoals site, after accounting for material dredged during the upcoming 2020/21 project and the dredge buffers, is approximately 2.59 million cubic yards. Updated wave & sediment transport modeling has also been reported for the modified template due to concerns previously expressed by the Village of Bald Head Island and Town of Caswell Beach. The updated modeling report can be found in Appendix D and a brief discussion of the results can be found in Section 2.4 of the narrative (p. 45-47). Monitoring of the Caswell Beach shoreline would continue annually for 3 years post -construction, in accordance with their previous commitment in the original permit application, as stated on page 53 of the narrative and in Appendix G. The proposed 180-acre Central Reach borrow area, located approximately 1.9 miles offshore of the Oak Island shoreline, is reported to contain 1.18 million cubic yards of beach -compatible material. Up to 615,000 Cubic yards of material is proposed to be excavated at the targeted depths. The proposed Central Reach borrow area partially overlaps the borrow area authorized for the Town of Holden Beach (State Permit 414-02, SAW 2012-00286 and DWR Project 42001-1836, see Figure 2-2 in the narrative for both borrow area locations). The Town of Oak Island's proposed Central Reach borrow area is divided into 4 zones of varying depth, all with a proposed +2' overdredge allowance. Zone 1 would target a dredge depth of -38' NAVD 88 (+2'), Zone 2 would target a depth of 39.7' (+2') NAVD 88, and Zones 3 and 4 would target dredge depths of-37.3' (+2') and -40' (+2') NAVD 88, respectively. Vibracores taken from the proposed Central Reach borrow area show a mean grain size of 0.32mm with an average composite sand content of 86.53%. The average composite gravel content for material within proposed dredge depths in this borrow area is 3.4%, the average granular content of 4.97%, average fines content is 5.09% and average calcium carbonate is 16.17%.

North Carolina 28405 910196.7215 to the stun to estimate potential for bleaching (see pages 42-44 of the narrative and Appendix B2 for the Central Reach vibracore logs). All samples within proposed dredge depths were reported at a Munsell value of 10YR 5/1 or 6/1 while dry after time, but when reevaluated while wet, several samples still remain the original darker 10YR 3/ 1 value (see page I of Appendix 132). No cultural resources were identified in an Archeological Assessment performed in 2019 by Tidewater Atlantic Research, Inc. (see Appendix E). Dredging would be conducted either via a hopper dredge, with sediment transported to offshore temporary mooring, then pumped by submerged pipeline onto the beach, or excavated via cutterhead dredge and piped directly to the beach from the borrow area. 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS The proposed dredging associated with the project would result in impacts to up to 484 acres of submerged bottom state waters. Up to 304 acres would be dredged at Jay Bird Shoals and the proposed Central Reach borrow area covers 180 acres. The project would result in the fill of approximately 63 acres of upper beach (above MHW) and would fill approximately 134 acres of intertidal area and nearshore shallow bottom. The dredging and beach fill would result in temporary increases in turbidity. Temporary impacts to benthic and invertebrate infaunal communities can be expected. The applicant is proposing to limit all dredging, sand placement and associated construction activities to the environmental window between November 16 through April 30, thereby avoiding peak periods of biological activity. The applicant has also committed to monitoring sand placement throughout the project to ensure material is compatible and complies with State Technical Standards (15A NCAA07H .0312) through daily inspections and weekly sediment analysis reports, as well as committing to utilizing existing permanent beach accessways with heavy equipment and via existing public access corridors. The narrative states they would locate staging areas for construction equipment off the beach in areas identified on the plans (See Figure 2-17), but daily equipment staging would be located on the beach seaward of the dune line. The narrative also states the applicant agrees to abide by many of the standard conditions as addressed in Section 4 of the Narrative (Proposed Conservation Measures) and as included in the 2020 South Atlantic Regional Biological Opinion (SARBO 2020).

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Town of Oak island is located on a south facing barrier island in Brunswick County between Lock -woods Folly Inlet and the Town of Holden Beach to the west, and the Town of Caswell Beach and the Cape Fear River to the east. The Town of Caswell Beach is also located on the island. The Town of Oak Island is approximately 9 miles in length. It is also bordered by the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the south. The island is accessed via 2 bridges. The western bridge leads into the Town of Oak Island located off NC Highway 211 via Middleton Blvd. The eastern bridge leads onto the island between Oak Island and Caswell Beach and is accessed from NC Highway 133. This is a proposed modification to the Town's State CAMAIDredge & Fill Permit No. 31-20 which was issued in early 2020 (USACE AID# SAW-2018-02230 and DWR Project 42018-1344). A minor modification was issued shortly thereafter to potentially authorize the removal of a buffer in the borrow area, should a reported magnetic anomaly be identified as marine debris and removed from the borrow site. The proposed project would extend the previously permitted project to include the entire oceanfront shoreline of the Town of Oak Island. The long-term erosion rate for the proposed project area ranges from 0'-2.6'/year. The Division's calculated 100-year storm recession line for the island was predicted to be 180'. Oak Island has experienced significant beach erosion within the last several years as a result of the numerous recent tropical storms and hurricanes that have affected our coast. In the original application, the permittee identified a —304 acre borrow site off Jay Bird Shoals to supply sand for the project. Water depths at the site varied from approximately -20 to -28' NAVD88. Sediments collected via Vibracore samples within the borrow site showed a Unified Soils Classification System (USCS) designation of predominantly SP-SM or SW. Gravel sized material (?4.76mm) ranged from 0- 7% with a maximum composite weight of 4.25%. Fines (<0.0625 mm) in individual samples ranged from 1.29% to 9.87% with a maximum composite weight of 6.79% overall. A low -intensity, long -duration linear feature was originally identified within the borrow site by a remote sensing survey and a minimum 50' buffer area on each side of the anomaly is proposed (see Appendix D- Archeological Remote Sensing for more information). A follow-up Phase U Remote -Sensing Archeological Survey was later submitted for inclusion in the application package and a request to remove the buffer was later submitted as a minor modification request as the anomaly is believed to be modern debris. Dredge depths were divided into three zones: Zone 1 with an excavation depth of -26' NAVD88, Zone 2 with an excavation depth of -31' NAVD88, and Zone 3's permitted dredge depth was -27' NAVD88. The previously permitted placement area extended from 10'h Place West to SE 63' Street (-21,000 feet). The beach fill template included berm fill to an elevation of +7' NAVD 88 with a 20: 1 slope out to tie into existing grade from -1' to -10' NAVD88 and a dune at an elevation ranging from 13.5' to 14.5' NAVD88, constructed with a 6' wide dune crest, and at a 5:1 slope_ Excavation was calculated at 1.1 million cubic yards with an anticipated final net fill volume of approximately 846,000 cubic yards due to expected dredge losses. The native beach was characterized using data collected by Athena. Fines were calculated at 1.88%, with sand comprising 98.96%, and granular and gravel material each at less than 1%.

PROPOSED PROJECT: The applicant is proposing to expand the limits of the previously permitted beach nourishment and dune building project for the Town of Oak Island. The project site extends the distance of the previously permitted project approximately 26,100 additional linear feet in total, with 2 reaches extending from McGlamery St to SE 63rd St, and a second reach starting between 7" & 1 Oth PL W and extending to the West End Beach Access. The beach berth would be filled to an elevation of +7' NAVD 88 with a 20: 1 slope out to tie into existing grade from -P to -9' NAVD88 (MLW= -2.9' NAVD88). An engineered "starter dune" is also proposed along the majority of the expanded area with a maximum elevation ranging from +13.0' to +1S.5' NAVD88, to be constructed with a 10' wide dune crest, and with a 4:1 slope on the waterward side and a 5.1 slope on the landward side. This design appears to advance the proposed engineered dune to (or in one area waterward of) the current MHW line along part of the project area. Anticipated fill volumes for the project would place a minimum of 15 with an average of SO cubic yards per linear foot. As proposed, a gross excavated volume of up to 1,667 million cubic yards of sand has been calculated to account for an estimated placement loss of up to 30%. A total fill volume of approximately 1,282,000 cubic yards is anticipated to be placed on the beach, given current conditions. It is currently estimated that 5,852,607 square feet would be filled below MHW (535,834 cubic yards)_ Of that material, approximately 2,150,482 square feet (191,049 cubic yards) would also be located below MLW. Approximately 2,740,996 square feet (746,166 cubic yards) of beach fill material would be placed above the MHW line. The applicant also estimates approximately 93' of fill would be placed water -ward of the current MHW line on average, within a maximum projected distance of 279' of fill placed below MHW.
