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.
