Subject: Request for a GP 291 to correspond with the modification of CAMA Major
Permit 104 -11 to authorize sand excavation within the Oregon Inlet Groin Area and
construct 580 feet of protective dune on the south side of New Inlet, Dare County. WBS
# 32635.3.FR6
Dear Ms. Tracey Wheeler,
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is requesting a GP 291 to
correspond with the modification of CAMA Major Permit # 104 -11 to allow for the
mining of approximately 30- 50,000 cubic yards of sand from the Oregon Inlet groin area.
The proposed boundary for excavation is outlined on the provided, map. The
configuration of excavation within this area will be determined in the field by the
USFWS refuge manager, with the intent to improve shore bird foraging habitat by
creating shallow pools. The depth of excavation will not exceed 5 feet in any location.
NCDOT will not enter the USACOE jurisdictional areas depicted on the map, which was
determined during an agency field visit on 10/25/14 (included USACOE, NCDCM,
USFWS, and NCDOT). Access to the mining area will be through a previous access point
that limits disturbance to existing vegetated dune areas, bordering the Old Coast Guard
Station. This access point will be utilized by off -road dump trucks, bulldozer and
excavator. Sand material mined from the groin area will be temporarily located within the
Old Coast Guard Station parking lot area. This sand will be utilized to construct a
protective dune line on the southeast side of New Inlet. The dune creation is an effort to
reduce the amount of over wash water that is ponding on NC 12. The water ponding
along NC 12 has created lane closures and is a safety issue for vehicles traveling through
this location. The proposed dune will be approximately 580 feet in length and have a base
width of 25 -30 feet, with a height of 10 feet. It will tie into the existing dune lines along
this area. Disturbance to existing vegetated dunes will be avoided and minimized to the-
maximum extent possible. The over wash ponded /wet sand area has been claimed by the
USACOE, as jurisdictional surface waters. The proposed dune alignment is within the
113 Airport Dr., Suite 100, Edenton, NC 27932 — Phone: [phone] Fax: [phone]

jurisdictional surface water area and will result in 0.27 acres of surface water impact. This
impact is shown on the provided modified permit drawings. The proposed sand mining
from the groin area and dune construction project will take place outside of the active bird
and sea turtle nesting time periods. Work will be scheduled to take place between
November 15 and April 1St to avoid any potential impact to protected species. No work
will take place, until approval from the USFWS, USACOE, NCDCM and NCDWR has
been obtained.
Included with this letter are the location map, permit drawings, aerial images and
copy of CAMA Permit # 104 -11. If you have questions please call me at (252) 482 -1876.
The permit fee can be charged to WBS # 32635.3.FR6
Sincerely,
Jerry Jennings
