BISER Secretary BRAXTON DAVIS Director MEMORANDUM NORTH CAROLINA Environmental Quality TO: Cameron Luck Assistant Major Permits Coorcjiryator FROM: Tara MacPherson / District Manager, Wilmington DATE: March 11, 2022 SUBJECT: Modification Request State Permit No. 79-19 Town of Sunset Beach Brunswick County Sam Morrison, acting agent for the Town of Sunset Beach, has submitted a request to modify State Permit No. 79-19, which was originally was issued to the Town of Sunset Beach by CRC-VR-20-09 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. A Major Modification was issued on 9/10/20 for a nearshore placement are seaward of Sunset Beach between 3rd through 13th 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. An additional Major Modification was issued on March 4, 2022 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. State Permit No. 79-19 is due to expire on December 31, 2025. The permittee is requesting authorization to conduct additional dredging within South Jinks Creek. According to the proposal, the western shoal has shifted and thus the current dredging project no longer connects to existing deep water creating hazardous navigation and tidally dependent access. The Town of Sunset Beach is requesting to dredge two remaining portions of the shoal to a depth of -3 ft. at MLW between Station 51+00 and 57+50 (see Attached Drawings dated received on March 10, 2022). Proposed excavation in Areas A and B would occur west of the boundary shown on the permit and would be between 20 ft. and 105 ft.in width. Estimated volumes of material to be excavated within Areas A and B are approximately 2,415 Cubic Yards and 1,280 cubic yards respectively (See Table 1). The applicant states that the vibracore data for the shoaled areas meets the guidelines for beach quality sand and this area is located within the shoal system. The proposed disposal area is within the previously permitted nearshore placement area.

The following information is referenced to show the proposed dredging limits and volume to provide safe navigation within South Jinks Creek and its adjoining channels fulfilling the original intent of the project. Summary of Additional Dredging: The South Jinks Creek design alignment was originally located directly adjacent to the existing natural deep water at the time of the permit application. Dredging was expected to connect to the existing deep water to improve navigation and safety by providing access to South Jinks Creek and into the adjacent Feeder Channel. Since the time of permitting, the flood shoal has shifted westward pushing the existing deep water 25 — 50 ft to the west. Given the design template remained the same, the current dredging project no longer connects to the location of the existing deep water. Remnants of the shoal remain along the western edge of the newly dredged South Jinks Creek Channel causing hazardous navigation conditions and tidally dependent access to South Jinks Creek between Stations 57+50 and 51+00 (see Figure 1).

As shown in the drawings, the width of the additional dredging west of the boundary shown on the permit varies between 20 ft and 105 ft. See Table 1 for the additional area and volume of the proposed additional dredging requested. Table 1: Additional Dredaina Area and Volume Location Area (sq. ft) Volume (cy) Area A 16,904 2,415 Area B 10,629 1,280 The vibracore data has been reviewed and it is expected that all material that is located on this shoal meets the guidelines for beach quality sand as defined in the technical standards for beach fill projects defined in 15A NCAC 07H.0312.
