Hi Heather,
First, thank you for forwarding me the other responses. I suppose I am still the new guy and I am not included in many
email threads.
The NCDMF does not object to the one-time extension until May 22 for hopper dredging with complete demobilization
and equipment removal by May 26.
Thank you.

Hi Kim,
I just want to check back in and make sure you don't have any concerns regarding granting an additional week extension
to dredging for the Oak Island project.
Thanks in advance!

Heather,
NCWRC has been continuously involved with the 2020-2021 Oak Island Beach Nourishment project and is fully aware of
the project's details and progression. We have discussed and coordinated numerous efforts with state and federal
agencies, the local turtle monitoring program, the Town and their contracted employees. We concur with statements
made by the USFWS and their amended BO (attached) to allow a one-time extension until May 17 for pipeline dredging
and a one-time extension until May 22 for hopper dredging with complete demobilization and equipment removal by
May 26. We expect continued coordination and adherence to all conditions within the permit and amended BO to
i

complete the previously referenced project components and forthcoming dune planting. It is recommended that if the
permit extension if granted, a brief meeting is conducted with the appropriate parties to ensure extended monitoring
requirements are understood and implemented.
Thank you for the continued coordination efforts to facilitate this project. Please do not hesitate to call or email if
NCWRC can provide additional assistance.
