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.

Subject: Town of Sunset Beach South Jinks Creek Navigation Improvement Project: South
Jinks Creek Deep Water Access
Dear Mr. Currey, Ms. MacPherson, and Ms. Snider
As a follow-up to the phone call between Greg Currey and Dawn York on March 3, 2022, this letter is
provided at the request of the USACE to ask permission to dredge the remaining sandbar on the western
side of permitted channel for the South Jinks Creek Navigation Project as referenced in the Town of Sunset
Beach's permit SAW-2019-01155 during the current dredge cycle. 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).

The Town of Sunset Beach is requesting to dredge this remaining portion of the shoal to a depth of -3 ft
MLW between Station 51+00 and 57+50 as described in the attached drawings. 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.

Area B

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.
Should you have any questions on this matter, or wish to discuss this matter further, please feel free to
contact me.
