Do you know the name of the staff member you would like to request a meeting with?
No.
Please give a brief project description below and include location information. *
This proposed project was discussed during an interagency scoping
meeting held on April 20, 2020. Representatives from DWR were in
attendance.
The proposed action is a one-time beach nourishment event that will
include sand placement along a 2.73-mile section of oceanfront
shoreline. The main fill portion of the proposed project (excluding

tapers) aeglns at the nortn town limit (Daseline station ]ts+UU) ana
extends south to Windsong Way located near baseline station
314+88. The length of the main portion of nourished shoreline,
excluding the tapers, is 12,500 feet. If the Kill Devil Hills project is
constructed as a stand-alone project, two taper sections would be
included, one on the south end and the other on the north end of the
main placement area. The north taper would extend 933.2 feet into
the Town of Kitty Hawk, terminating just south of Tateway Road at
station 179+88. The south taper would extend 1,031 feet, ending at
the Prospect Avenue public access at station 324+97. Thus, the
maximum extents of the Kill Devil Hills project would include of
shoreline. The project design, developed prior to the initial
construction of the project in 2017, includes a 20-foot-wide dune at
elevation +15.0 feet NAVD fronted by a berm of varying width.
Modeling results and topographic data developed prior to the 2017
project indicated that no design dune was required between stations
240+42 and 269+49, and south of 304+82. Along those portions of
the project only a berm was constructed. Since the construction of
the 2017 project, the majority of the design dune has remained intact.
For the proposed project, Kill Devil Hills intends to evaluate the
design dune at the time of construction, and if portions of the dune
have been eroded at the toe, those portions of the dune would be
repaired to the original design configuration. The square footage of
fill to be placed below MHW (1.2 ft. NAVD88) to the seaward toe of fill
is 3,645,363 square feet (83.68 acres), and the total fill area above
MHW is 1,725,996 square feet (39.62 acres), for a total disturbed
area of 5,034,064.98 square feet (123.31 acres). Plan view drawings
and cross -sections along profiles at 1,000-foot spacing are provided
in Appendix A.
Construction of the preferred design along with 5 years of advanced
fill would require 848,735 cubic yards of fill material obtained from
Borrow Area A. Actual volume dredged from the borrow area will likely
require up to an additional 20% to account for losses during
dredging; therefore, the total estimated dredge volume is 865,710
cubic yards. The BOEM lease request for excavating material from
within Borrow Area A will include additional volume in the unlikely
event a storm eroded the Towns' shoreline prior to the construction
of the project. In total, the amount of material that could be excavated
from the borrow area would be 1,273,103 cy, or 50% more than the
848,735 cy of fill required by the preferred design and advanced fill.
Following the construction of the 2017 project, an after -dredge
survey revealed that Borrow Area A still contained 12,829,500 cy of
material, therefore this borrow area contains enough volume for this
project along with the other three towns' proposed projects.
As discussed, the Town of Kitty Hawk is also seeking permits to allow
the construction of a shore protection project along its entire
oceanfront shoreline. Consequently, there is a possibility both the Kill
Devil Hills and Kitty Hawk projects could be constructed concurrently,
which would eliminate the need for the north taper section of the Kill
Devil Hills project. Dependent upon several variables, including
whether the project is constructed as a stand-alone project, available
funding, time or contractor constraints, or any unforeseen limitations,
the applicant may build all or a portion of the proposed project.
Material will be obtained from the borrow area using a hopper
dredge, a cutterhead dredge, or a combination of the two. In the case
of a cutterhead dredge, sand will be transported from the borrow
area to the beach as a slurry via pipeline; use of a hopper dredge
would involve transport to a nearshore pump -out location, and
ci iheani lent ni imninn to the hearh via ninQiin= A eanrl rlike Werill he

yu r r y, a rr a
constructed on the seaward side of the discharge area. The sand
slurry will be discharged behind the temporary dike, and excess water
will be directed parallel to the shoreline and around the edge of the
dike. Once discharged onto the beach, the material will be shaped
and graded using loaders, dozers, and other earth moving
equipment.

resources. To this end, the Town proposes to nourish the oceanfront shoreline, with five years of advanced fill incorporated
into the design.
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.
A hydraulic hopper dredge and/or cutterhead dredge and pipeline will be used to obtain and transport material from the
offshore borrow area to the beach. A sand dike will be constructed on the seaward side of the discharge area. The sand
slurry will be discharged behind the temporary dike, and excess water will be directed parallel to the shoreline and around
the edge of the dike. Bulldozers, front-end loaders and other earth moving machines will be used to shape the beach to the
design profile. Should the equipment need to be stored, it will be done so as to create the least impact to be users and the
environment. Three staging areas will be established (Ashville Dr. Beach Access, 5th Street, and Helga Street) for this
project.
d. List all development activities you propose.
The proposed action will include sand placement along a 12,500 ft. section of Kill Devil Hills oceanfront shoreline. A 933 ft.
taper will be included on the north end extending into the Town of Kitty Hawk, and a 1031 ft. taper will be included on the
southern end for a total of 14,464 ft. of shoreline. A 20-ft. wide dune at elevation +15.0 ft. NAVD88 will be constructed along
portions of the project area. A 40-ft. wide berm will be constructed along the entire length of the project. Sand will be
obtained from an Outer Continental Shelf borrow area ("Borrow Area A") offshore Dare County using cutterhead and/or
hopper dredges. Material will be transported from the borrow area to the beach via submerged pipeline from a cutterhead
dredge, or via direct transport to a nearshore pump-out location by hopper dredge. A temporary shore-parallel sand dike will
be constructed in the discharge area to reduce turbidity of slurry within the nearshore. Material on the beach will be shaped
and graded using earth moving machines. Sand fencing and vegetation will likely be placed along the constructed dune after
completion of the project. See project narrative in supplemental information for details
e. Are the proposed activities maintenance of an existing project, new work, or both? Maintenance of the 2017 Project
f. What is the approximate total disturbed land area resulting from the proposed project? 1,752,173 (area of fill above MHW and

2 Supplemental Information
Per Form MP-1, Section 6a: Project Narrative
2.1.1 Project Scoping and History
The Town of Kill Devil Hills is one of four towns within Dare County, including Duck, Southern
Shores, and Kitty Hawk, seeking to implement simultaneous shore protection projects to help
mitigate the threat of long-term erosion and storm damage which pose a continual threat to the
oceanfront shoreline. The first of these four towns to express interest in obtaining permits and
implement a shore protection project was the Town of Kill Devil Hills which, along with the Town
of Kitty Hawk, was originally part of a federally authorized beach nourishment project within Dare
County. However, due to shortfalls in federal funding, the project was never constructed and is not
anticipated in the foreseeable future. Therefore, on September 14, 2011, the Town of Kill Devil
Hills held an interagency scoping meeting in Washington, NC with representatives from various
state and federal agencies including the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (DCM),
North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC), United State Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE), US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS). The purpose of the meeting was to present the scope of a proposed locally
sponsored shoreline protection project and to develop an agreed upon permitting approach and
scope for the required environmental documentation. One outcome of the meeting was the
decision to develop a “Project Information Document” that would provide the USACE with a
summary of the relevant existing environmental documentation and biological data that pertains
to the proposed Kill Devil Hills Shore Protection Project. The information provided within the
document was to be used to assist the USACE in determining the appropriate environmental
documenting requirements. Following the submittal of the document, the USACE responded that
due to the likelihood of determining a Finding of No Significant Impacts (FONSI), an
Environmental Assessment (EA) would be the recommended approach regarding the required
environmental documentation.

Following the 2011 interagency meeting, two other beach towns in Dare County (Kitty Hawk and
Duck) expressed interest in pursuing their own shoreline protection projects in light of continued
erosion on their respective shorelines. Considering that all three towns were proceeding with
similar nourishment projects, constructing these projects within the same year, either concurrently
or sequentially, would reduce mobilization costs to the towns. Subsequently, an additional
interagency meeting was held on June 19, 2013 with representatives from many of the same
agencies to discuss proposed permitting and environmental documentation approaches for all three
towns, (Kill Devil Hills, Kitty Hawk, and Duck). During the meeting it was determined that each
town should apply for their own set of permits and develop their own separate EAs. However,
representatives from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) agreed that while individual EAs could be drafted for each of the three
proposed projects, a single regional EFH assessment and a single batched Biological Assessment
(BA) could be submitted to satisfy consultation requirements with NMFS and USFWS (i.e., under

the Magnuson-Stevens Act and Endangered Species Act, respectively) for the Towns of Duck,
Kitty Hawk, and Kill Devil Hills.

Because the project involved the use of OCS borrow areas, which fall under the Bureau of Ocean
Energy Management (BOEM) jurisdiction, and placement of material on the beach, which falls
under the USACE’s jurisdiction, it was determined that BOEM and the USACE would act as joint-
lead agencies for NEPA purposes and would prepare joint NEPA documents. BOEM and the
USACE agreed to participate in the required Endangered Species Act (ESA) Section 7
consultations; the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery and Conservation Management Act Essential Fish
Habitat (EFH) consultation (Section 305); the National Historic Preservation Act Section (NHPA)
Section 106 process; and the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) Section 307 consistency
process.

In a letter from BOEM to the USACE dated December 2, 2014, the environmental documentation
and permitting approach as described above was codified. It stated that lead agency in Endangered
Species Act (ESA) Section 7 consultation for potential impacts on protected species would be
determined by jurisdiction. The BOEM was determined to be the lead agency and would consult
with NMFS concerning potential effects from dredging activities for species under their purview
(i.e. swimming turtles and whales). The USACE was determined to be the lead agency and consult
with UFWS concerning effects from placement activities for species under their purview (i.e.
nesting sea turtles). BOEM and the USACE consulted jointly with NMFS Habitat Conservation
Division on EFH and requested NMFS to assign conservation recommendations by jurisdiction.
The USACE was the lead agency for the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) Section 106
and notified the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and relevant Tribal Historic
Preservation Offices (THPO). The USACE and BOEM worked together with the North Carolina
Department of Environmental and Natural Resources (NCDENR), to ensure compliance with
Section 307 of the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA).

Following the submittal of the three EAs, Department of Army (DA) Individual Permits were
issued to each of the three towns for the 2017 beach nourishment event (SAW-2014-02202, SAW-
2014-02203, and SAW-2014-02204). Consultations with NMFS Protected Resource Division
concluded with the issuance of Biological Opinion on May 16, 2016. Consultations with USFWS
concluded with the issuance of a Biological Opinion on November 4, 2015, respectively.
Consultation with NMFS Habitat Conservation Division in regard to EFH concerns resulted in a
"no staffing" email with one recommendation. DCM issued Major Permits to each town as well
(Town of Duck, #132-15; Town of Kitty Hawk, #133-15; and Town of Kill Devil Hills, #134-15).

An additional interagency scoping meeting convened on January 31, 2017 to discuss the Town of
Southern Shores' desire to place beach fill material within a limited area of the Town's oceanfront
shoreline. Due to the project's proximity to Kitty Hawk and their intention to construct the project
in tandem with the other three beach town projects, regulatory agencies determined the applicant
should apply for their own separate CAMA Major permit and modify Kitty Hawk's existing DA
Individual permit. During consultation with the federal partners, the batched BA was also
amended to include Southern Shore's project-specific information. DCM subsequently issued a
CAMA Major Permit #59-17 to the Town of Southern Shores while the DA issued a modification
of the Town of Kitty Hawk's Individual Permit SAW-2014-02204.

In 2017, the four towns cost-shared and implemented a beach nourishment project that involved
the placement of approximately 3.9 million (M) cubic yards of material over nearly 8.3 miles of
oceanfront shoreline. Material used for the project was obtained from two offshore borrow areas
within the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) in federal waters. Great Lakes Dredge and Dock
performed the dredging work in 153 days using three (3) hopper dredges; the Liberty Island, Dodge
Island and Padre Island. Dredging began on May 23, 2017, placing material at the Town of Duck
and was concluded on October 23, 2017 with nourishment at the Town of Kitty Hawk.

The beach fill design for the 2017 project at the Town of Duck included a 20-foot wide dune at
elevation +15.0 feet NAVD fronted by a 40-foot wide berm at elevation +6.0 feet NAVD.
SBEACH results and topographic data review suggested that no dune construction was required
between 240+42 and 269+49 and south of 304+82 to achieve the design level of storm damage
reduction. A main fill section was constructed covering 12,501 feet of shoreline beginning on the
north at profile 189+87, which is located at the north Town limit, and ending on the south near
station 314+88 which is located at Windsong Way. Since the Kill Devil Hills project was
constructed in conjunction with Kitty Hawk, only one taper on the south end of the main fill was
constructed. The south taper measured 1,009 feet and ended just north of the Prospect Avenue
public access at station 324+97. Collectively, 817,359 cubic yards of material was placed within
this domain.

Subsequent to the completion of the 2017 nourishment event and based on interest expressed by
all four beach towns to pursue an additional nourishment event in the future, an interagency
meeting convened on April 29, 2020 to discuss the permitting and environmental documentation
approach that would be required for the future project. During the meeting, it was decided that
each town would pursue their own respective set of permits. In order to satisfy NEPA
documentation requirements, however, it was decided that one collective EA would be developed
and would be inclusive of site-specific information for all four beach towns. It was also determined
that the project-related actions, as presented during the scoping meeting, should be covered by the
2020 South Atlantic Regional Opinion (SARBO) and the 2017 North Carolina Coastal Beach Sand
Placement Statewide Programmatic Biological Opinion. As such, the issuance of a new biological
opinion as part of the federal consultation process with NMFS and USFWS are not anticipated.

The April 29, 2020 scoping meeting was attended by representatives of the Division of Water
Resources (DWR) and met the requirement for requesting a pre-filing meeting under 40 CFR Part
121 for 401 Certifications in accordance with the federal Clean Water Act. The project proponent
hereby certifies that all information contained herein is true, accurate, and complete to the best of
my knowledge and belief. The project proponent hereby requests that the certifying authority
review and take action on this CWA 401 certification request within the applicable reasonable
period of time.
2.1.2 Proposed Action
The proposed action is a one-time beach nourishment event that will include sand placement along
a 2.73-mile section of oceanfront shoreline. The main fill portion of the proposed project
(excluding tapers) begins at the north town limit (baseline station 189+00) and extends south to
Application for Major Development Permit
Town of Kill Devil Hills Shore Protection Project
C OASTAL P ROTECTION E NGINEERING OF N ORTH C AROLINA, I NC.
13
Windsong Way located near baseline station 314+88. The length of the main portion of nourished
shoreline, excluding the tapers, is 12,500 feet. If the Kill Devil Hills project is constructed as a
stand-alone project, two taper sections would be included, one on the south end and the other on
the north end of the main placement area. The north taper would extend 933.2 feet into the Town
of Kitty Hawk, terminating just south of Tateway Road at station 179+88. The south taper would
extend 1,031 feet, ending at the Prospect Avenue public access at station 324+97. Thus, the
maximum extents of the Kill Devil Hills project would include of shoreline. The project design,
developed prior to the initial construction of the project in 2017, includes a 20-foot-wide dune at
elevation +15.0 feet NAVD fronted by a berm of varying width. Modeling results and topographic
data developed prior to the 2017 project indicated that no design dune was required between
stations 240+42 and 269+49, and south of 304+82. Along those portions of the project only a
berm was constructed. Since the construction of the 2017 project, the majority of the design dune
has remained intact. For the proposed project, Kill Devil Hills intends to evaluate the design dune
at the time of construction, and if portions of the dune have been eroded at the toe, those portions
of the dune would be repaired to the original design configuration. The square footage of fill to
be placed below MHW (1.2 ft. NAVD88) to the seaward toe of fill is 3,645,363 square feet (83.68
acres), and the total fill area above MHW is 1,725,996 square feet (39.62 acres), for a total
disturbed area of 5,034,064.98 square feet (123.31 acres). Plan view drawings and cross-sections
along profiles at 1,000-foot spacing are provided in Appendix A.
Construction of the preferred design along with 5 years of advanced fill would require 848,735
cubic yards of fill material obtained from Borrow Area A. Actual volume dredged from the borrow
area will likely require up to an additional 20% to account for losses during dredging; therefore,
the total estimated dredge volume is 865,710 cubic yards. The BOEM lease request for excavating
material from within Borrow Area A will include additional volume in the unlikely event a storm
eroded the Towns' shoreline prior to the construction of the project. In total, the amount of material
that could be excavated from the borrow area would be 1,273,103 cy, or 50% more than the
848,735 cy of fill required by the preferred design and advanced fill. Following the construction
of the 2017 project, an after-dredge survey revealed that Borrow Area A still contained 12,829,500
cy of material, therefore this borrow area contains enough volume for this project along with the
other three towns' proposed projects.
As discussed, the Town of Kitty Hawk is also seeking permits to allow the construction of a shore
protection project along its entire oceanfront shoreline. Consequently, there is a possibility both
the Kill Devil Hills and Kitty Hawk projects could be constructed concurrently, which would
eliminate the need for the north taper section of the Kill Devil Hills project. Dependent upon
several variables, including whether the project is constructed as a stand-alone project, available
funding, time or contractor constraints, or any unforeseen limitations, the applicant may build all
or a portion of the proposed project.
Material will be obtained from the borrow area using a hopper dredge, a cutterhead dredge, or a
combination of the two. In the case of a cutterhead dredge, sand will be transported from the
borrow area to the beach as a slurry via pipeline; use of a hopper dredge would involve transport
to a nearshore pump-out location, and subsequent pumping to the beach via pipeline. A sand dike
will be constructed on the seaward side of the discharge area. The sand slurry will be discharged
behind the temporary dike, and excess water will be directed parallel to the shoreline and around

14
the edge of the dike. Once discharged onto the beach, the material will be shaped and graded using
loaders, dozers, and other earth moving equipment.
There are thee proposed staging areas for this project. The staging area along the beach front at
Helga Street encompassing approximately 0.54 ac. (23,495 sq ft) and has an associated 102' long
construction corridor to the beach (Appendix A, sheet 7). The second staging area is located along
5th Street and encompasses approximately 0.02 ac. (1,030 sq ft) and has an associated 245' long
construction corridor to the beach (Appendix A, sheet 5). The third staging areas is located at the
Ashville Drive beach access. This staging area encompasses 0.04 ac (1,652 sq ft) and has an
associated 285' construction corridor to the beach (Appendix A, sheet 3). Cumulatively, these
staging areas encompass 0.60 ac (26,177 sq ft). No impervious surfaces or alterations to the dunes
will be required for use of these areas.
The Town installed sand fencing and planted extensive dune vegetation along the constructed dune
following the 2017 nourishment event to trap windblown sand and encourage dune growth. For
the most part, the proposed project will not include the construction of additional dunes with the
exceptions of those areas of the project where portions of the designed dune have been lost since
the 2017 event. In these areas, the Town will install sand fencing along the portions of the dune
that were re-constructed in accordance with either 15A NCAC 07K .0212 or 15A NAC 07H
.0311(c). If sand fencing is to be installed under 15A NAC 07H .0311(c), the Town request a
minor modification to allow for the installation of along the face of the constructed dune and will
agree to complete the installation within these areas after October 31.
A number of measures will be employed to avoid or minimize the risk to biological and natural
resources within the project area. These measures are described in Table 1. below.
Table 1. Conservation/Monitoring measures implemented to avoid or minimize environmental risks
Conservation/Monitoring Measure
Borrow Area
Design
The size and shape of the borrow areas have been designed such that a
minimum number of turns will be required by the hopper dredge, which
increases dredge efficiency and reduces the potential for sea turtle
entrainment.
Dredge Type Construction of the project will be accomplished using cutterhead suction
dredges, trailing suction hopper dredges, or a combination of the two. To
minimize impacts from hopper dredging, the project will follow the standard
hopper dredging conditions outline in the 2020 South Atlantic Regional
Biological Opinion.
Dredge
Positioning
Navigation and positioning software will be used by the contractor to
accurately track the dredge location. The software will provide real-time
dredge positioning and digging functions to allow color display of dredge
shape, physical feature data as found in background Computer Aided Design
(CAD) charts and color contour matrix files from hydrographic data collection
software described above. The software will also provide a display of
theoretical volume quantities removed during actual dredging operations.

15

Dredge anchors will not be placed any further than 200 feet from the edge of
the areas to be dredged. The dredge contractor will be required to verify the
location of the anchors with real time positioning each and every time the
anchors are relocated.
Pipeline
Positioning
The pipeline alignment along the beach will be placed to avoid potential
piping plover habitat or sea turtle nests. The alignment will be coordinated
with, and approved by, the USACE. As-built positions of the pipeline will be
recorded using GPS technology and included in the final construction
observation report.
Pipeline
Observations
Observations and assessments of the pipeline during construction will be
performed to avoid pressurized leaks from the pipeline couplings or other
equipment that may result in sediment plumes, siltation and/or elevated
turbidity levels. The Towns, along with the associated engineer, will
coordinate with the dredgers and have in place a mechanism to cease dredge
and fill activities in the event that a substantial leak is detected in the event
that a substantial leak is detected (leaks resulting in turbidity that exceed state
water quality standards). The contractor will cease dredge and placement
activities until an appropriate repair of the affected equipment has been
completed.
Construction
Observations
Several initiatives will be undertaken by the Town, the Engineer, or his duly
authorized representative to monitor construction practices. Construction
observation and contract administration will be periodically performed seven
days/week, approximately twelve hours/day during periods of active
construction. Most observations will be during daylight hours; however,
random nighttime observations may be conducted. The Town, the Engineer,
or his duly authorized representative will provide onsite observation by an
individual with training or experience in beach nourishment and construction
observation and testing, and that is knowledgeable of the project design and
permit conditions. The project manager will coordinate with the field
observer. Multiple daily observations of the pump-out location will be made
for quality assessment and quality control (QA/QC) of the material being
placed on the beach. The construction contractor will provide observations 24
hours per day during construction.
Sediment
Compatibility
The Sediment Criteria Rule provides beneficial guidelines for both grain size
and percent weight of calcium carbonate. However, other important
characteristics such as organic content, heavy mineral content and color are
not addressed. These aspects of the beach material will be considered.
Maintaining adherence to this sediment criteria rule for material placed on the
beach will reduce adverse impacts to the beach invertebrate community and
would also reduce effects to sea turtle nest construction and incubation of the
eggs. Multiple daily observations of the active placement locations will be
made for QA/QC of the material being placed on the beach. The individual
will collect a representative sub-surface (6 in. below grade) grab sediment
sample at not less than 200-foot intervals along the newly constructed berm to
visually assess grain size, wet Munsell color, granular, gravel, and silt content.

Town of Kill Devil Hills Shore Protection Project

C OASTAL P ROTECTION E NGINEERING OF N ORTH C AROLINA, I NC.
16

Each sample will be archived with the date, time, and location of the sample.
Samples will be collected during beach observations. The sample will be
visually compared to the acceptable sand criteria. If determined necessary by
the Engineer, or his duly authorized representative, quantitative assessments
of the sand will be conducted for grain size, wet Munsell color, and content of
gravel, granular and silt. A record of these sand evaluations will be provided
within the Engineer’s daily inspection reports and submitted to USACE and
DCM for verification. Following construction, compaction of placed fill
material will be inspected by the Town, the Engineer or his duly authorized
representative in coordination with the DCM and USACE. Compaction
monitoring will begin after the material has been graded and dressed to the
final slope and a period of time will be allowed for finer particles to be washed
away and final settling of the material to occur prior to compaction
monitoring. If the fill material appears to have a higher degree of compaction
than that which is acceptable additional testing such as cone penetration
testing will be considered. After subsequent testing, if it is determined that
tilling is necessary to reduce compaction based on consultation with the
appropriate agencies, the contractor will till the beach to a minimum depth of
36 inches throughout the constructed portion of the beach to loosen the
compaction of the placed material. Beach tilling will only be performed as a
result of an identified compaction problem based on agency consultation.
Beach compaction monitoring and, if necessary, tilling would ensure that
project impacts on sea turtle nesting are minimized.
Escarpments Visual surveys of escarpments will be made along the beach fill area
immediately after completion of construction. Escarpments in the newly
placed beach fill that exceed 18 inches for greater than 100 ft. shall be graded
to match adjacent grades on the beach. Removal of any escarpments during
the sea turtle hatching season (May 1 through November 15) shall be
coordinated with the NCWRC, USFWS and the USACE. The likelihood of
escarpment formation can be reduced by incorporating a beach design that
closely resembles the native beach in terms of berm elevation, sediment size,
and sediment sorting characteristics. The proposed project will be designed
with a berm elevation of +6 ft. NAVD88, and sediment characteristics that fall
within the ranges required by the North Carolina State Sediment Criteria.
Water Quality During construction, shore parallel berms will be constructed on the beach to
reduce nearshore turbidity impacts. These berms are designed such that the
slurry will run parallel to shore, allowing sediment to settle out before the
water is returned to the ocean. Turbidity monitoring during construction will
be managed by the contractor. The contractor will be responsible for notifying
the construction engineer in the event that turbidity levels exceed the state
water quality standards. Measures that could be taken to subsequently reduce
turbidity include moving the dredge to a different location, or asking the
contractor to extend the berm, which would allow more time for fines to settle
out before the water flows back into the ocean.

West Indian
Manatee and
Whale
Monitoring
During construction or dredging activities, the contractor will adhere to the
“Guidelines for Avoiding Impacts to the West Indian Manatee” created by the
USFWS. Full-time NMFS-certified endangered species observers will be
present on the hopper dredge(s) to alert dredge operators of any whales or
manatees in the area. In the event a whale or manatee is spotted, the ship’s
captain will make proper maneuvers to avoid collisions or injury to the marine
mammals. Vessel operators will abide by the 10 kt (18.5 km/h) speed
restrictions in any Dynamic Management Areas (DMAs) that may be
established while underway. Operators will abide by NMFS Southeast Region
marine mammal viewing guidelines and maintain 50 yds. from sea turtles and
dolphins and 100 yds. from whales. Vessel operators will also follow the
restricted vessel approach of 500 yds. established for North Atlantic right
whales. Participation in the Right Whale Early Warning System is required;
therefore, dredging within right whale critical habitat from December through
March will follow the protocol established within the Early Warning System
(NMFS, 1995).
Sea Turtle
Monitoring
and
Relocation
Trawling
Risk of entrainment will be reduced by use of a sea turtle deflector on the
dredge's draghead. Every effort will be made to keep the dredge pumps
disengaged when the hopper dredge dragheads are not firmly on the bottom.
Also, the rotating cutterhead will not be lifted from the sediment surface
during operations. Additionally, full-time NMFS-certified protected species
observers will be present on the hopper dredge to document any sea turtle
activity and monitor turtle takes through screening of inflow and/or outflow.
Dredging operations will abide by the terms and conditions deemed necessary
to minimize hopper dredging impacts to sea turtles set forth in the 2020 South
Atlantic Regional Biological Opinion (SARBO).

On the beach, artificial lighting used during nighttime construction activities
will be angled or shielded to reduce deterrence of sea turtle nesting and
hatchling disorientation. A sea turtle nest monitoring and avoidance/relocation
plan will be implemented through coordination with USFWS and NCWRC.
This monitoring will be performed by trained individuals knowledgeable of
the beach construction operations.

Should hopper dredges be utilized, the proposed project may employ
relocation trawling as a means to reduce the potential for entrainment. If
relocation trawling is implemented, standard relocation trawling conditions
will be observed as set forth by NMFS, including specification for trawl time,
handling, holding conditions, take and release and any tagging, etc.

A sea turtle nest monitoring plan will be implemented through coordination
with USFWS and NCWRC. Dare County is included in surveys conducted by
Network for Endangered Sea Turtles (N.E.S.T), the volunteer organization
which performs systematic surveys of the northern Outer Banks from the
Virginia border to the southern tip of Nags Head. Surveys are performed
throughout the nesting season (May through August), and include daily
Application for Major Development Permit
Town of Kill Devil Hills Shore Protection Project

C OASTAL P ROTECTION E NGINEERING OF N ORTH C AROLINA, I NC.
18

morning patrols to mark and protect newly laid nests, as well as monitoring
during incubation period and emergence. These surveys have been performed
since 1981. Because the proposed project includes nourishment during the
summer months (nesting season), monitoring will be needed to identify, and
subsequently avoid burial or excavation of, existing nests during construction.
This monitoring will be performed by trained individuals knowledgeable of
the beach construction operations. In addition to monitoring surveys, nest
relocation will be implemented by highly trained individuals and in
coordination with the appropriate agencies.
Bird
Monitoring
Although a project-specific bird monitoring plan will not be developed,
existing programs established by the State, Cape Hatteras National Seashore,
and other entities are anticipated to continue monitoring piping plovers, rufa
red knots, and other bird species along portions of the Outer Banks in Dare
County.

In addition, all personnel involved in the construction process along the beach
will be trained to recognize the presence of piping plovers and red knots prior
to the initiation of beach construction. Personnel will be provided photos of
each species, which will be required to be kept at the construction site for
quick reference. A contractor representative authorized to stop or redirect
work will conduct a shorebird survey prior to 9:00 am each day of sand
placement activities. The survey will cover the work area and any locations
where equipment is expected to travel. The contractor will note any
observance of red knots or piping plovers and submit observations to the
USACE Wilmington District Office the next calendar day.

2.1.3 Construction Schedule
The inclement weather typically encountered during the winter months offshore the northern outer
banks can make dredging difficult and often reduces dredging efficiencies, especially when
cutterhead dredges are used. Elevated sea states pose a substantial safety risk to crews and
equipment, while weather-related down times raise costs and reduce efficiency. As such, the Town
proposes a year-round construction window with a high likelihood that construction would occur
during the calmer and safer summer months. A year-round construction window would provide the
contractor the most flexibility and provide a safer and more economical work environment. To
allow for the greatest scheduling flexibility, no start and end date will be specified; rather, this will
remain at the discretion of the contractor, and will be based on equipment availability and weather
conditions. Based on estimated production rates, the Kitty Hawk project will likely require
approximately 2.5 months if constructed independently. If all four projects are constructed
concurrently, the entire project would likely be completed within 5 months. These timeframes are
based on the production rates for hopper dredges achieved during the 2017 multi-town project and
the 2010-2011 Nags Head project.

2.1.4 Borrow Area and Sediment Analysis
Beach quality sand will be dredged from Outer Continental Shelf borrow areas using a self-
contained ocean-certified hopper dredge, a cutterhead pipeline dredge, or a combination of the
two. The borrow area, "Borrow Area A" was previously used during the 2017 Dare County Multi-
Beach Nourishment project and is located entirely within federal waters, i.e. seaward of the Three
Nautical Mile Line, placing it under the BOEMs jurisdiction (Appendix A, sheets 1, 2, and 12).

Coastal Protection Engineering, Inc. of North Carolina (CPE) conducted a comprehensive sand
search using a systematic methodology involving three sequential phases of investigation. Phase I
involves a comprehensive desktop study that examined previously collected information within
the geologic context of the investigation area in order to identify features with the highest potential
of containing project compatible sand. Results of jetprobe investigations of several shoal features
offshore Dare County by CPE in 2013 as part of a feasibility study for the Town of Kill Devil Hills
were also considered during this phase. Details of the findings of Phase I can be found in the full
geotechnical report (Appendix C, beginning on page 15) Surveying, sampling and analysis of the
Kitty Hawk native beach was also conducted during Phase I. In keeping with the requirements set
forth in the North Carolina State Sediment Criteria, CPE performed shore-perpendicular
topographic and bathymetric surveys of the native beach to determine the beach profile. The
locations of the profiles surveyed by CPE were based off a data set previously collected by the US
Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District. Each profile was surveyed from a point 150 ft.
landward of the vegetation line seaward out to an elevation no less than -25 ft. NAVD88. Of the
profiles surveyed, characterization of the Kitty Hawk native beach was generated from samples
collected along five generally evenly spaced profiles within the Kitty Hawk project area: 0+00,
50+00, 110+00, 160+00 and 210+00 (Appendix C, page 13, Figure 7).

As required by the State Sediment Criteria, samples were taken at 13 locations along each of the
5 sampling profiles, including: the dune, toe of dune, mid-berm, berm crest, mean high water,
mean tide level, mean low water, trough, bar crest and at -12.5, -15.0, -17.5 and -20.0. In total,
CPE collected a total of 65 samples within the proposed project area in Kill Devil Hills. The
composite summary and grain size analysis results are displayed in Table 1 of this project narrative.
Additionally, the results of sediment analyses for each sediment sample can be found within the
Beach Composite Summary Tables provided in Appendix 4 of the attached Appendix C.

Along with ensuring compatibility of the sand characteristics, the State Sediment Criteria also
require quantification of clasts (rocks and shell) greater than 3-inches in diameter present on the
native beach. As such, CPE conducted a pre-construction survey in June 2020 to determine the
background levels of clasts (rocks) greater than 3-inches that exist along the Town of Kill Devil
Hill's oceanfront beach between MLW and the frontal toe of the dune. Per the updated State
Sediment Criteria language, the number of 3-inch clasts were quantified within five (5) 10,000 sq
ft.2 sections along the beach. Results identified 37 clasts greater than 3-inches within the survey
area. The criteria stipulate that borrow area material greater than 3-inches in diameter that is placed
in the project area is considered incompatible if it is more than twice the background level that
existed on the native beach before the project began. Since the June 2020 survey, the State has
updated their guidance again and now also require a survey, using the same methodology described
above, to determine the total number of sediments greater than or equal to one inch in diameter.

Although this survey has not been conducted at this time, the applicant will perform it prior to the
implementation of the proposed project.

Information gathered during the Phase I archival literature studies regarding the geological setting
of the project area give no indication that hardbottom habitats are present within or in the vicinity
of the borrow area. Additionally, previous geotechnical and geophysical investigations conducted
by the USACE have not indicated the presence of hardbottoms in the area. Finally, analysis of the
sidescan sonar data acquired by CPE for the present project indicated no presence of hardbottom
habitats or consolidated rock exposures or outcroppings within or in the vicinity of the borrow
areas.

Phase II investigations involved reconnaissance level geophysical surveys in order to 1) define the
extent of sediment layers identified during Phase I research of past jetprobe data and historic
vibracore and surface sediment data; 2) develop a vibracore plan to be implemented during Phase
III investigations, and 3) identify potential environmental or cultural resources for avoidance
during Phase III vibracore investigations.

Results of the geotechnical investigations, including geophysical (sonar) surveys, vibracores,
hydrographic surveys, archaeological resource surveys and sand compatibility analyses, were
performed to develop the final borrow area designs. Design considerations for the proposed borrow
areas included:

• Construction of the project may be accomplished using a hopper or cutterhead dredge
• Location of sufficient sand to construct the four proposed beach nourishment projects for
the Towns of Duck, Southern Shores, and Kill Devil Hills
• Beach compatible sand with similar mean grain size and sorting of the project beaches
• Avoidance of environmentally sensitive areas such as hardbottom, seagrass beds, etc.
• Avoidance of potentially significant cultural resources
• Avoidance of nearshore impacts due to wave refraction over borrow areas

The proposed design cuts for Borrow Area A are displayed in sheets 12 and 13 of Appendix A.
Borrow Area A has been divided into seven different design cuts with cut depths ranging from -
58.5 to -68.0 ft. (Figure 1). The sediment compatibility analysis, as summarized in Table 1,
determined that the offshore borrow material in Borrow Area A meets the compatibility
requirements established by the North Carolina Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) prior to the
2017 nourishment event. It is the position of the applicants engineering consultant that the previous
sediment compatibility analysis (Table 1) remains valid for Borrow Area A. Through
correspondence with Division of Coastal Management staff, the applicant was notified that DCM
has some concerns about the compatibility of the material in areas previously dredged. Cuts A3,
A4, and A5 have been identified as portions of the borrow area not previously dredged during the
2017 construction project. Collectively these three cuts contain 5,153,700 cy of material which,
at this time is anticipated to contain enough volume for this proposed project as well as the three
other towns in Dare County seeking permits for similar actions. Given concerns expressed by
DCM staff regarding sediment compatibility of portions of the borrow area previously dredged
and the desire to give the dredge contractor flexibility on where they can dredge within Borrow
Area A, the applicant requests DCM consider conditioning the permit to require the applicant to

conduct updated bathymetric surveys and sediment sampling of portions of the borrow area
previously dredged (Cuts A1, A2, A6, and A7) to evaluate the potential for infilling and sediment
compatibility, prior to construction of the project. The additional bathymetric surveys and
sediment sampling would need to demonstrate sediment compatibility of any sediment that has
infilled previously dredged areas. It is the applicant’s intent to conduct such surveys and sediment
sampling/analysis during the months of April and May of 2021. To maintain the project schedule,
the applicant has determined that permit decisions need to be made prior to August 2021. The
recommended course of action would allow for DCM to continue its permit review while providing
the applicant time to conduct the further investigations, which would be incorporated into bidding
documents prior to the project being advertised for bid.

To determine project impacts on potentially significant submerged cultural resources, Tidewater
Atlantic Research (TAR) carried out a background literature review and supervised a cultural
resource investigation of the proposed borrow areas. The resulting cultural resource report
compiled by TAR is provided in Appendix B. A registered archaeologist from TAR identified 9
magnetic anomalies in the vicinity of Area A, 4 of which were considered potentially significant
(Appendix A, sheet 12). As a result, three buffer areas were established within Borrow Area A –
two are located within the borrow area and one is located partially outside the western perimeter
(Appendix A, sheet 12). These areas will be avoided during dredging.

(2)(c) Seafloor Bathymetry and
Sonar Imagery
Over the course of two surveys (June 2014 and October 2014) seafloor
surveys were conducted such that 100 percent coverage of each submarine
borrow area was obtained. Both single beam bathymetry and high
resolution sides scan sonar imagery were collected. Please refer to
descriptions of the Phase II Investigations and Phase III Investigations in the
Comprehensive Marine Sand Search and Borrow Area Design Report
(Appendix C). More specifically, figures 21 and 22 show the bathymetric
coverage of the borrow areas and figures 27 and 28 show the sidescan
mosaic of the area verifying 100% coverage.
(2)(d)
Geophysical imaging of
seafloor subsurface
(Subbottom Survey)
Over the course of two surveys (June 2014 and October 2014) geophysical
imaging of the seafloor subsurface was used to characterize each
submarine borrow area. A sub-bottom profiler was used to survey
tracklines spaced approximately 30-m apart, which greatly exceeds the
state standard. Please refere to Phase II Investigations and Phase III
Investigations in the Comprehensive Marine Sand Search and Borrow Area
Design Report (Appendix C). More specifically, figures 16 and 17 show the
tracklines along which data were collected. Also refer to Appendix 9 of
Appendix C.
(2)(e) Vibracore Spacing, Number,
and Recovery Depth
Sediment sampling of Borrow Area A and C used a 271B Alpine Pneumatic
vibracore, configured to collect undisturbed sediment cores up to 20 ft. in
length. Material is fed into a 3 inch diameter plastic core liner, which is
split and sampled. Vibracores were collected at 1,000-foot spacing. 51
vibracores were collected within Borrow Area A for an average acreage per
core of 23. 18 vibracores were collected within Borrow Area C for an
average acreage per core of 20. Refer to figures 21 and 22 in the
Comprehensive Marine Sand Search and Borrow Area Design Report
(Appendix C) for spacing of vibracores within each borrow area. All
vibracores within a given borrow area cut section penetrated and
recovered material from below the proposed cut depth (i.e. all vibracores
within a section marked cut to -65 ft. recovered material from at least a
depth of -65 ft.) Please refer to Figures 21 and 22 and the vibracore logs in
Appendix 11 of the Comprehensive Marine Sand Search and Borrow Area
Design Report (Appendix C) to verify depths recovered.
