9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This is a second major modification request to State Permit No. 79-19. The project area is the Bay Area between
1503 & 1711 Canal Drive and between 18' street to the Inlet, the end of Cobia Street and the end of Seaside
Drive on the mainland, Brunswick County. The new proposed channel realignment extends the Bay Area primary
channel by approximately 200 ft. along the southern shoreline and adds a secondary channel along the northern
shoreline. The new proposal would add 0.3 acres of open water impact and increase the dredge volume by
approximately 4,700 cubic yards. Both channels are proposed to be excavated to — 6 ft. MLW (- 5 +1). Two
offload sites are proposed with temporary structures. One is located at the end of Cobia Street adjacent to the
Feeder Channel on Sunset Beach and the other is at the end of Seaside Drive on the mainland adjacent to the
AIW W and north of Jinks Creek.
The original project area is on the eastern end of Sunset Beach between the island and Tubbs Inlet. The project is
comprised of man- made canals that connect to a Feeder Channel and a Bay Area to the south. Both the Feeder
Channel and the Bay Area connect to South Jinks Creek. The shoreline of the Finger Canals is stabilized
primarily by bulkheads, with some sections of riprap. The man-made canals border narrow residential lots
heavily developed with single family residences and private docking facilities. The width of the canals is
approximately 90 ft. and there are areas of oysters and coastal wetlands, mostly consisting of Salt Marsh
Cordgrass (Spartina alternii lora), established along the 3,200 linear ft. project area. The 3,500 linear ft. Feeder
Channel project area is stabilized by bulkheads with undeveloped lots to the north. To the south, the Bay Area is
stabilized primarily by bulkheads, with some rip rap and sparse vegetation including Sea Oxeye and Salt Marsh
Cordgrass. The Bay Area project extends 2,200 linear ft. to the east with widths ranging from 130 ft. in with to
470 ft. nearest the confluence with Jinks Creek. Both the Feeder Channel and the Bay Area connect to the 1,700
linear ft. South Jinks Creek project to the east, which transitions into the Atlantic Ocean through Tubbs Inlet to
the south and to the AI W W to the north.
State Permit No. 79-19 was issued by CRC-VR-20-09 and Permit No. 79-19 was issued on March 3, 2020 for
the excavation of the Finger Canals, Feeder Channel, Bay Area and South Jinks Creek with both upland disposal
and beach fill. The depth of excavation was authorized to — 5 ft. below MLW for Finger Canals and to — 6 ft.
below MLW for the Bay Area and South Jinks Creek. The dredging of the South Jinks Creek area was proposed
to be dredged to a final depth of -6 ft. (- 5 Ft. + 1 ft. over dredge) at MLW in an area measuring approximately
1,750 ft. in length by 100 ft. in width for a total volume of 40,500 cubic yards of material. The proposed template
had a 5:1 slope throughout the dredge footprint. A previous maintenance event of the Finger Canals and Feeder
Channel was conducted under State Permit No. 45-02, which expired on December 31, 2005. The dredging event
authorized the removal of 38,164 cubic yards with excavation to a depth of — 5.2 ft. at MLW, this was the first
maintenance event for the feeder system since State Permit No. 211-85. A Major Modification was issued on
9/10/20 for a nearshore placement are seaward of Sunset Beach between 311 through 1311 streets. The placement
of approximately 40,500 cubic yards within the nearshore area adjacent to Sunset Beach would impact up to 9.2
acres of coastal habitat within the project area. No work has been completed at this time. State Permit no. 79-19
is due to expire on 12/31/24.
This application references a Sediment Analysis for the Re -aligned channel(See Narrative and Tab F),
SPBO conservation measures (Tab L), an EFH and Biological Assessment (Tabs H and I), Manatee
Avoidance Guidelines (Tab J) and NMFS Recommendations (Tab K). Most documents were submitted with
the previous project proposal and are being re -submitted for the proposed Bay Area channel re -alignment.
The applicant has also included the certified property notifications that were sent out to property owners that
are closest to the proposed primary and secondary channels (see Attached documentation).

The area adjacent to the Bay Area is classified as Island Residential Sunset Beach Future Land Use Plan Map.
The waters of the Bay Area are classified as SC by the Division of Water Resources. They ARE NOT
designated as a Primary Nursery Area by (PNA) the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries and they are
CLOSED to shellfishing.
10. PROPOSED PROJECT:
The applicant is proposing to re -align the primary channel and add a secondary channel within the Bay Area
adjacent to the Town of Sunset Beach and install temporary structures at two offload sites. The project
Narrative states that the proposed dredging project would change the authorized template for the Bay Area
maintenance dredging in order to allow more local homeowners to access the channel from their individual
docks. The original Bay Area footprint was a 2200 ft. long by 80 ft. wide channel that essentially went
through the middle of the Bay Area connecting to South Jinks Creek. The proposed new alignment would
result in two new channels, one primary channel along the southern Bay Area and one secondary channel
along the northern Bay Area, from station 12+00 to station 24+00 (see Narrative and sheet C-102). The
primary channel would be 1200 ft. long with a 30 ft. bottom cut extending up to a 55 ft. top cut with a 3:1
channel side slopes. The secondary channel would be 1000 ft. long with a 20 ft. bottom cut extending up to a
45 ft. top cut with a 3:1 channel side slopes. Both channels are proposed to be dredged to the original project
depth of -6 ft. at MLW (-5+1). The channels would connect to South Jinks Creek which has an authorized
project depth of -6 ft. at MLW. The new 2.3-acre impact increases slightly from the original alignment as
does the dredge volume. According to the application, the dredge volume will increase from 12,200 CY to
16,894 CY within the Bay Area and the spoil will be placed in the previously permitted spoil site located at
Georgetown Road. The application indicates that all dredging operations in this area would be conducted
between October 1 and March 31s` and that a minimum 10 ft. buffer would be maintained from any Coastal
Wetland Areas (see Tab G for Marsh boundaries). All work will be performed via bucket to barge.
The application also contains a proposal to construct two temporary structures at two new offload sites to
dispose of non -beach compatible materials. The primary offload site is at the end of Seaside Road along the
AIW W on the mainland side across from North Jinks Creek (see Narrative, sheet S-502 and Tab N). This site
would accommodate disposal barges and would require navigation through North Jinks Creek. The applicant
has provided a hydrographic survey of North Jinks Creek (see Map No. 6 dated 9/16/20). A letter of
objection was received by an adjacent riparian owner to the offload site, but no material is proposed to be
stored onsite (see letter dated 9/9/21 from James and Danna Collins). This site is void of Coastal Wetlands,
although there are wetlands present adjacent to the site. A temporary 100 ft. long by 24 ft. wide gabion filled
offload ramp is proposed at this location for offloading which would impact approximately 2,400 sq. ft. of
bottom habitat within Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area. The ramp would be placed on a geotextile grip
and filter fabric to limit vertical movement. The secondary offload site is at the end of Cobia street, which is
located directly adjacent to the Feeder Canal north of the Bay Area (see Narrative and sheet S-501). There
are no Coastal Wetlands adjacent to this street end. A temporary bulkhead is proposed, measuring 36 ft. long
by 6 ft. wide, using #57 stone filled gabions waterward of the existing bulkhead to ensure that heavy
equipment would not compromise the existing bulkhead. According to the application, the gabion filled wall
would extend a maximum of 7 ft. waterward ofNHW and would be placed on a geotextile grid with filter
fabric temporarily impacting up to 252 sq. ft. of Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area. The proposal
includes a shellfish relocation effort prior to bulkhead installation (see Attached Plan). All temporary
structures would be relocated at project completion.

11. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The proposed excavation of approximately 16,894 cubic yards of material would disturb up to 2.3 acres of
shallow bottom habitat within the project area expanding the previously authorized dredge footprint. The final
project depth would be -6 ft. at MLW in the Bay Area, this would connect to — 6 ft. at MLW in S. Jinks, but
would not connect to deeper water within greater Jinks Creek and Tubbs Inlet. The Town previously
obtained CRC Variance No. CRC-VR-20-09 for the proposed maintenance dredging without a
connection to deeper waters as required by rule 15A NCAC 711.0208 (b)(F).
The impacts of both proposed offload sites would temporarily impact approximately 2,652 sq. ft. of bottom
habitat outside of any Coastal Wetland Areas.
Note: A Letter of Support for the project was received by DCM on 9/17/21 from Neal and Bren Harm
and a Letter of Objection to the Offload site located at Seaside Road was received by DCM on 9/9/21.
Both letters are included.
Note: The last remaining property (the Mathers at 413 18th Street) continues to show "In Transit, Arriving
Late" on the USPS tracking site (see attached). This is the second mailing (the first mailing went out on
August 20`h, 2021) to the Mathers property that the Postal Service does not seem to be able to deliver. The
applicant would like to respectfully request that DCM make a determination that they have made a good faith
effort to notify this property owner, and therefore allow for processing of the application package to officially
proceed.

INTRODUCTION
The Town of Sunset Beach (Town) wishes to modify CAMA Permit No. 79-19, U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers Permit No. SAW-2019-01155, and State Water quality Certification No. 2002-158 to conduct
navigational dredging in the water body known as the Bay Area. Sunset Beach lies in Brunswick County,
along the southern coastal border of North Carolina, adjacent to Ocean Isle Beach. The proposed project
will occur along the eastern border of Sunset Beach, within the interior waters of Tubbs Inlet. Figure 1
shows the proposed project area in relation to Brunswick County.

The requested modification requests a change to the authorized template for the Bay Area maintenance
dredging. The Town also requests authorization to construct a temporary offloading ramp at the
terminus of Seaside Drive. Finally, authorization is requested to install a temporary bulkhead to aid in
stabilizing the material offloading site at the previously authorized Cobia Street offloading site. The
Town intends to offer both of these sites to the selected dredging contractor for their use. The
contactor may choose either one or both of these sites for offloading.
PROJECT PURPOSE AND NEED
The previously permitted Bay Area channel helps to address the long-term erosion patterRIf(f IM
recreational navigation access to the residential system. However, the previous alignment does not
consider the unintended impacts of the additional dredging necessary for the local homeoXer2t3 2;j21
access the newly dredged channel from their individual docks. The proposed realignment strives to
QCM WILMINGTON. NC
Town of Sunset Beach Navigation Project

Project Narrative
minimize the potential impacts of the additional dredging by considering a strategic channel design that
addresses the long-term sediment infilling and residential access requirements.
PROPOSED MODIFCATION
Bay Area Dredge Template
The currently permitted dredge template for the Bay Area currently extends through the approximate
middle of the water body and terminates at the south Jinks Creek confluence with an 80-ft width. The
modification request realigns the channel terminus from one (1) wide channel to two (2) narrower
channels comprising of a primary and secondary navigation route. The primary channel extends along
the southern Bay Area shoreline and maintains a 50-ft to 55-ft width (top cut), while the secondary
channel follows the northern shoreline at a 40-ft to 45-ft width (top cut). The maximum dredge depth
remains -6-ft MLW (-5+1) with 3:1 channel side slopes. Similar to the original alignment, the average
depth in the Bay Area system will be increased from approximately -2-ft to -3-ft MLW to -6-ft (-5+1)
MLW.
Figure 2 shows a plan view comparison of the currently permitted alignment and the proposed
realignment for the Bay Area and Tab E provides the permit drawings. The realignment extends the Bay
Area primary channel by approximately 200-ft by following the southern shoreline until the template
joins with south links Creek. Overall, the realignment initiates at station 12+00 from the original
template and terminates at approximate station 24+00 in the south Jinks Creek confluence. The impact
area for the original alignment equaled approximately 2.0 acres (86,277-ft2) and the realigned channel
covers approximately 2.3 acres (101,176 ft2), inclusive of both the primary and secondary channels. As
shown above, the dredge volume increased from 12,200 CY (original channel) to 16,894 CY with the
new alignment.

Table 1 provides a summary of the proposed channel templates including the dredge volumes
categorized for the primary and secondary channel. The modification request does not change the
material placement site or dredging methodology. The Bay Area will be mechanically dredged with
material placement occurring in an upland landfill facility.
The dredging operations will be conducted between October 1" and March 31" to reduce the potential
for environmental impacts. In addition, the dredge footprint will provide a minimum 10-ft buffer from
any area of coastal wetland identified at the time of construction. These items are a few of the
precautions proposed to help minimize the potential for environmental impacts on this project.

The dredge material from the Bay Area will be truck hauled to a previously approved upland placement
facility along Georgetown Road for final placement due to the content and grain size. The material
composition contains approximately 90%fines (>2300) and therefore is not compatible for beach
placement. Tab F provides the sediment analysis results forthe realigned channel.

Town of Sunset Beach Navigation Project
Bay Area Realignment
Project Narrative
Spartina alterniflora exist along the intertidal and supratidal regions of the Feeder Channel and Bay
Area. As shown in Tab G (Marsh Habitat Boundary), coastal wetlands have encroached within or close to
the anticipated dredge area of the Bay Area but have not established near the Cobia Street terminus
material off-loading site. Therefore, to minimize potential impacts to the marsh grass, no dredging will
take place within 10 feet of any area of coastal wetlands. The 10-ft buffer should allow the channel
adequate space to equilibrate without eroding the coastal marshes. During construction, the dredge
equipment shall be prohibited from entering the buffer zone.
Offloading Sites
As was stated above, the Town intends to offer two offload sites to the chosen dredging contractor for
their use. The contactor may choose to utilize either one or both of these sites for material offloading.
Cobia Street - This contingency offload site will only be utilized if the primary offload site is unable to
be utilized due to logistical consideration. A temporary bulkhead will be installed within the Feeder
Channel at the terminus of Cobia Street (Figure 3). This temporary bulkhead will help to ensure that the
existing bulkhead at this location will not be structurally compromised as a result of heavy equipment
operation. The bulkhead will be comprised of a 36' by 6' gabion wall backfilled with a 36' by 1'
placement of DOT #57 stone to stabilize the existing vinyl sheetpile wall. Figure 4 provides a ground
level photograph of the existing sheetpile wall. The gabion filled structure will extend approximately 7-ft
seaward of the existing wall and will be placed on a geotextile grid and filter fabric to limit vertical
movement. All materials will be fully removed following project completion.

Figure 4. Existing Vinyl Sheetpile Wall (Cobia Street)
The gabion wall will be placed below MHW in the Feeder Channel. The footprint of the proposed gabion
wall with backfill will be 252 sf. To minimize the potential for shellfish impacts, any shellfish within the
footprint of the temporary structure will be relocated prior to the bulkhead installation. The shellfish
relocation will be conducted in conjunction with the relocation efforts already required for the dredge
footprint in the Feeder Channel.
Seaside Road (Primary Offloading Site) —An offloading site will be constructed at the end of Seaside
Road, along the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (See Figure 5). This offload site will handle non -beach
compatible materials resulting from the dredging of the Bay Area, South links Creek, the feeder canal
and finger canals. It is anticipated that disposal barges will be able to traverse North Jinks Creek at and
around high tide.
There is currently an unvegetated beach at the site (see Figure 6). In order to allow for land -based
equipment to be able to access barges containing spoil material, a temporary 100' by 24' gabion
offloading ramp will be constructed in this location. The temporary gabion ramp will be placed on a
geotextile grid and filter fabric to limit vertical movement. All materials will be fully removed following
project completion.
The construction of the temporary gabion ramp will impact 2,400 sf of bottom habitat. No coastal
wetlands will be filled by the construction of the temporary ramp.

As part of the previously permitted components of this project, the applicant conducted studies to
evaluate potential impacts to managed or endangered species that may occur as a result of the overall
project. While these reports were completed as part of the original permit submittals, the findings
should reasonably be expected to apply to the proposed realigned channel. Tab H provides an Essential
Fish Habitat (EFH) assessment and Tab I provides a Biological Assessment (BA) for the project. Generally,
the referenced reports support the project should not adversely impact any threatened or managed
species. Additional precautions proposed for the maintenance project include following U.S. Fish and

The applicant has also contacted the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) as part of the original
permit submittals to inquire on any known historic resources in the area such as shipwrecks or
archeological artifacts. These inquiries did not identify any known resources with the potential to be
impacted by the project. Tab L (SHPO Resource Review) provides the written response from SHPO. It is
again reasonably expected that these findings may be also be applied to proposed project modification.
The Town of Sunset Beach requests a permit modification to realign the proposed Bay Area channel,
install a temporary bulkhead at the Cobia Street terminus, and construct a temporary offloading ramp at
Seaside Road to support material offloading efforts. The Bay Area realignment will assist in reducing
future dredging impacts anticipated by property owners requesting personal access to the navigation
channel. These modifications will provide a viable plan for completing the dredging efforts with minimal
environmental impacts. The project provides a key element for the Town and residents to manage the
established navigation corridors on the east end of Sunset Beach.
The project will help restore navigation access to the waterway systems on the east end of Sunset Beach
while maintaining a buffer zone between the work area and any coastal marsh or wetland habitat. The
project will also relocate shellfish located near the temporary bulkhead installation to reduce the
potential for impacts. All materials installed as part of the temporary bulkhead will be removed at the
completion of work. The work will also follow additional guidelines and recommendations provided by
USFWS and NMFS to further minimize the potential for environmental impacts during construction. The
project will adhere to environmental moratoria design to protect juvenile fish and shellfish. Additionally,
the project will follow construction guidelines designed to protect manatee, sea turtle, and smalltooth
sawfish.
ADDITIONAL ITEMS RELATED TO CAMA PERMIT APPLICATION PACKAGE
State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Compliance
§ 113A-12(6) states that the preparation of an environmental document shall not be required for

Dear Mr. Huggett:
The Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your CAMA Major Permit application,
acting as agent for The Town of Sunset Beach, for State approval for a modified dredge footprint within the Bay Area
and for temporary structures to be installed at two offload locations for the Town of Sunset Beach/Jinks Creek dredging
project in Sunset Beach, Brunswick County. The application was received as complete on October 11, 2021 and
appears to be adequate for processing at this time. The projected deadline for making a decision is December 25,
2021. An additional 75-day review period is provided by law when such time is necessary to complete the review. If
you have not been notified of a final action by the initial deadline stated above, you should consider the review period
extended. Under those circumstances, this letter will serve as your notice of an extended review. However, an
additional letter will be provided on or about the 75th day.
If this agency does not render a permit decision within 70 days from October 11, 2021, you may request a
meeting with the Director of the Division of Coastal Management and permit staff to discuss the status of your project.
Such a meeting will be held within five working days from the receipt of your written request and shall include the
property owner, developer, and project designer/consultant.
NCGS 113A-119(b) requires that Notice of an application be posted at the location of the proposed
development. Enclosed you will find a "Notice of Permit Filing" postcard which must be posted at the property of your
proposed development. You should post this notice at a conspicuous point along your property where it can be
observed from a public road. Some examples would be: Nailing the notice card to a telephone pole or tree along the
road right-of-way fronting your property, or at a point along the road right-of-way where a private road would lead one
into your property. Failure to post this notice could result in an incomplete application.
An onsite inspection will be made, and if additional information is required, you will be contacted by the
appropriate State or Federal agency. Please contact me if you have any questions and notify me in writing if you wish
to receive a copy of my field report and/or comments from reviewing agencies.
Sincerely,
Tara MacPherson

Attn: Tara MacPherson 9 Sept 2021
This is regarding your letter dated 17 Aug 2021 informing us of the Sunset Beach
dredging spoils that may be offloaded to the vacant lot next to our duplex unit at 7323B
Pecan Ave lot. Sunset Beach. If that lot is used, it will substantially reduce the value of
our property. Access to that lot is only via the small gravel road(Pecan Ave) adjacent
to our property; that road is not sufficient to handle large trucks to haul away the spoils.
The looks and smell of the spoils just a few yards away from our unit will be terrible.
Due to our advancing age and difficulty traveling from Ca. we can no longer use
the unit as our vacation home and six months ago we contacted a real estate
agent to sell it. It is on the market.
We respectfully request that the proposed Pecan Ave site next to our duplex unit
not be used for the dredging spoils.

I have been a long-time follower and supported of the project to dredge the Canals, Bay, and Jinks Creek
of Sunset Beach. As a homeowner and full-time resident, this is a long time coming and very much
welcomed. I understand the changes that have been requested by Moffatt & Nichol. I fully support and
agree with these changes. The addition of the landing off of Seaside Drive will greatly reduce the truck
traffic on the island and shorten the distance to the offload site. This is a good thing for everyone and
the environment.
In regards to the project in general, it is important to note that those living on the water and that have
the most personal impact are supportive of this project. We all have docks and moved to Sunset for the
water and being able to enjoy it. I paddle these waters daily from my backyard on Canal Drive. The part
of Jinks that crosses the Bay is no longer a creek. It is filled with decades of neglect. Those of us around
the water call it Jinks Beach.
The two or three that have been in opposition have provided no support and only offer opinions not
backed by the studies and the modeling. It is unfortunate as it has cost this town a lot of extra time. My
neighbors on the island can't wait for this project to begin.
Pictures below were taken this past year at two different times. It is Jinks Creek off the end of N. Shore
Drive. As you can see, there is no Creek except at High Tide.

As a result of resource agency concerns raised during the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA)
application review process, conditions were added to the CAMA permits requiring that the Town
develop and implement a shellfish relocation plan, which is intended to move shellfish from within
the dredge footprint to undisturbed adjacent areas.
Following approval from the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF), the relocation
plan outlined herein will be implemented prior to the onset of any dredging actives. It should also
be noted that this plan is similar to a shellfish relocation plan that was developed, approved by
NCDMF and implemented for the Old Ferry Channel dredging project in Carteret County earlier
this year. It is anticipated that the shellfish relocation efforts outlined in this document will take
place in October of 2021.

Shellfish Relocation Plan for Mary's and Turtle Creeks, Bay Area, Feeder Canal and Finger Canals I Town of Sunset Beach, NC
3. Shellfish Relocation Plan
• Relocation is proposed within all the dredge footprints of the areas indicated in Figure 2.
• Relocation not proposed for any areas that fall below dredge depths authorized in CAMA
Permit 132-18 and CAMA Permit 79-19.
• Channel alignments will be programmed into a GPS. The GPS unit will be utilized in the
field to locate areas proposed for dredging.
NOTE: It should be noted that the Town is currently pursuing a modification to the authorized
dredge alignment within the Bay Area. Shellfish relocation efforts will take place within the new
dredge areas as opposed to the originally authorized alignment.
• Relocation efforts will be staged from adjacent shorelines.
• A skiff or two -person vessel, such as a kayak or canoe, will be used for collection. More
than one vessel may be utilized in an effort to expedite completion of the plan.
• Shellfish will be found by raking the bottom, either from a vessel or standing in the water.
All shellfish found will be initially stored in oyster bags.
• Once an oyster bag is full, the shellfish will be relocated to an area that is:
o Outside of the dredge area, but in the same general area, and
o Has an existing presence of shellfish,
• Approximate GPS location(s) for each relocation area will be recorded.
• Representative photos will be taken during various steps in the relocation process.
• A Marine Patrol officer will be contacted 3-5 days before initiation of relocation efforts.
Daily notifications of progress made, and anticipated work schedules/completion dates will
also be provided to Marine Patrol (alternative notification procedures/schedules will be
followed at request of Marine Patrol).
• Notification of project completion will be provided to the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management (NCDCM) and NCDMF upon project completion.
• A summary report for this relocation effort will be prepared and submitted to NCDMF and
NCDCM within 30 days of completion of shellfish relocation efforts. The summary report
will detail final relocation methodologies, locations of relocation areas, and provide an
estimate of the number of shellfish relocated.
