9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The permittee is requesting approval; through this CAMA major permit modification, to allow for the
continued operation, function and /or placement of the existing temporary containment tube ( "Geotube "),
between 2284 and 2382 New River Inlet Road, North Topsail Beach. The information presented in this
application package specifically addresses the continued use of the temporary containment tube, with no
other relevance to any other sand bag, or temporary erosion control features. The relative information of
the new project is described below.
The project site is located in North Topsail Beach, specifically between 2284 and 2382 New River Inlet Road,
adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean, in Onslow County. To get to the site from Wilmington take US HWY 17 N to
NC Hwy 210, which is located at the Lowe's Home Improvement on US HWY 17. Turn right onto NC Hwy
210 and continue across the Surf City Swing Bridge. Take a left at the first street N. New River Drive (NC Hwy
210). Continue on NC Hwy 210 until you reach the New River Inlet Road (approximately 8.15 miles). Turn
right onto New River Inlet Road and continue to the far end. Turn left at the stop sign and the project area will
be located on the right hand side of the road, just north of the 2282 New River Inlet Road. The project area
spans from the northern side of 2284 New River Inlet Road, north to the property identified by the Onslow
County Tax office as 2382 New River Inlet Road. The current elevation of the project area ranges from
approximately 6' NAVD to approximately 8' NAVD. The project site is adjacent to residential properties. The
project site is bordered by New River Inlet to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the East and residential properties
to the south and west. The high ground portion of the property is primarily un- vegetated with the exception of
lawn grasses and ornamental landscaping around the existing homes.
The Annual erosion rate in the project area is 2' /year per the Division of Coastal Management's 2011 Annual
Erosion Rate maps. Previous field investigation reports have demonstrated this particular area of North Topsail
Beach experiences "accelerated erosion" and the shoreline is progressively receding.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Town of North Topsail Beach currently has several CAMA Major Development Permits that are active,
including CAMA Major Permit No. 79 -10 (Shoreline Stabilization), No. 191 -05 (Beach Bulldozing) and No.
92 -14 (Sand bag revetment). CAMA Major Permit No. 92 -14, which was amended by CRC variance on
November 26, 2014, authorized the installation of approximately 1,500 linear feet of sand bags (sand bag
revement) and approximately 1,200 linear feet of temporary construction containment tube (i.e. Geotube) along
the ocean front area of North Topsail Beach, between 2276 and 2382 New River Inlet Road. Prior to installation
of the sand bag revetment structures, the Town's contractor installed the temporary construction containment
tube, which was to be used as a safety feature while installing the sand bag revetment. Once the temporary
construction containment tube was installed, the contractor(s) began installing the revetment along the project
shoreline (starting from the northern terminus working south). Following completion of the sand bag revetment,
the Town (through its consultant — Coastal Planning and Engineering) began to seek authorization which would
allow the temporary containment tube to remain in place, as noted in the sequence of events detailed below.
On February 24, 2015, Division of Coastal Management (DCM) staff received a written notice from Coastal
Planning and Engineering, indicating the sand bag revetment was complete.
On February 27, 2015, DCM sent a certified letter to the Town of north Topsail Beach requesting a
"Compliance Action Plan" for removal of the temporary erosion control tubes (i.e. temporary construction
containment tube).

-North 'topsail Beach — CAMA Major Permit Modification, No. 92 -14
Page 'Three
The letter detailed the commitments made by the permittee (Town of North Topsail Beach), as referenced in
Condition No. 11) of CAMA Major Permit No. 92 -14. Specifically, Condition No. 11) of CAMA Major Permit
No. 92 -14 stated "In accordance with commitments made by the permittee, the authorized temporary
construction containment tube used to assist in the safe construction of the authorized temporary sand bag
revetment shall be removed in its entirety either immediately upon project completion, or by May 21, 2015,
whichever is sooner. "
On March 20, 2015, Coastal Planning and Engineering staff member Tom Jarrett, P.E., submitted a written
response to DCM's "Compliance Action Plan" indicating that "conditions along the shoreline fronting the sand
bag revetment appear to be improving as much of the sand tube (i. e. Geotube or temporary containment tube) is
now covered by sand", but "conditions along the extreme north end of the sand bag revetment have not
improved dramatically". In addition, the permittee's consultant described the inlet hazard area as being
"dynamic" in nature and the uncertainty of future shoreline responses in the area should be taken into
consideration for allowing the temporary containment tube in place until the completion of Onslow County's
channel maintenance project. At this time, it should be noted that DCM has not received a CAMA Major
development permit request from Onslow County requesting authorization to dredge New River Inlet, so the
uncertainty of when this project will happen is unknown. Data collected during multiple site visits (by DCM
staff) following completion of the sand bag revetment project show that nearly two- thirds of the temporary
construction containment tube was exposed at some point along its alignment.
On March 26, 2015, DCM staff issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) to the permittee for violation of CAMA
Major Permit No. 92 -14 (CAMA Violation 415 -05D) for failure to comply or meets the requirements of
Conditions No. 11 and No. 13 of CAMA Major Permit No. 92 -14. Restoration and/or fulfillment of the NOV
required that the permittee "remove the temporary construction containment tubes and all portions of the scour
apron and chock tubes ". The Town ( permittee) was provided a ten (10) day time period (from the receipt date
of the NOV) to provide a response to the NOV, by way of remediation through one of the restoration
agreements.
On May 4, 2015, DCM staff received a signed copy of the "Revised Restoration Plan for North Topsail Beach
Property" dated April 24, 2015, from Stuart Turille (Town Manager, North Topsail Beach) indicating the Town
would submit a CAMA Major Permit Modification application to DCM within ten (10) days from receipt of the
NOV. The actions sought through the permit modification request would include the allowance of the
temporary construction containment tubes, chock tubes and scour aprons until the completion of the planned
Onslow County shallow draft navigation project or March 31, 2016, whichever is sooner. Additionally, the
agreed upon restoration plan stated "Following the anticipated denial of the modification request, and no later
than June 3, 2015, the Town will submit a variance petition package that satisfies the requirements of the
Coastal Resources Commission (CRC). The Town and DCM will work diligently to agree on a set of stipulated
facts no later than June 17, 2015. The Town will seek a variance from the CRC at its July 15 -16, 2015 meeting.
If such a variance request is denied by the CRC, or the variance request submitted by the Town is not heard at
the July 15 -16, 2015 CRC meetin, the aforementioned structures shall be removed by July 31, 2015."
Information provided by the applicant's agent (Coastal Planning and Engineering, a.k.a. CP &E) indicates the
Town would like to seek approval to keep the sand filled construction containment tube, which was constructed
as part of the Phase I Emergency Sand Bag Revetment Project for the purpose of providing additional
protection to the area being inundated by tides and wave action. The Town suggests the existing containment
tube is partly to mostly covered by sand along the alignment; however, the height of the containment tube has
varied over time, in relation to elevation of the beach, which has varied by winds, tides and waves. As
previously mentioned, the Town is seeking relief from the conditions stated in CAMA Permit No. 92 -14, until

North Topsail Beach — CAMA Major Permit Modification, No. 92 -14
Page Four
such time that either the construction containment tubes have been completely covered with sand, or until the
County completes their channel beach nourishment project.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The applicant's proposal to keep the temporary construction containment tube in place would result in the
continued filling of approximately 16, 200 sq. ft. of public trust area. Additionally, approximately 16, 200 sq. ft.
of publicly accessible beach would be restricted by its continued placement.

2.1 DCM P-i, ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
2.1 .1. 6a. Project Narrative
The Town of North Topsail Beach completed Phase 1 of its multifaceted inlet and shoreline
management plan in February 2013 with the repositioning of the New River Inlet ocean bar
channel to a more central location between the south end of Onslow Beach and the north end of
North Topsail Beach. The material removed during repositioning of the channel was used to
construct a beach fill along 7,730 feet of shoreline south of New River Inlet.
As stated in a prior permit application, the beach fill along the north end of North Topsail Beach
experienced rapid rates of volume loss resulting in the eventual loss of all of the fill material
north of the Topsail Reef by August 2014. In response to the emergency situation created by the
rapid deterioration of the fill, the Town of North Topsail Beach applied for a permit to construct
a sandbag revetment along approximately 1500 feet of shoreline north of Topsail Reef (See
Appendix A). While this initial request was denied due to the size of the proposed sandbag
revetment, the Town of North Topsail Beach was ultimately issued a CAMA Major Permit
(Permit #92 -14) dated November 26, 2014 through the variance process.
In addition to the enlarged size of the sandbag revetment, the permit allowed the Town to use a
temporary sand filled containment tube to provide protection to the area during installation of the
sandbag revetment. The conditions of the permit required the temporary containment tube to be
removed immediately upon completion of the sandbag revetment, or by May 21, 2015,
whichever occurred sooner. A typical cross - section of the sandbag revetment and temporary
containment tube is provided in Appendix A.
The sandbag revetment was essentially completed on February 25, 2015. An aerial photograph
taken of the project site on February 20, 2015 via a drone is shown in Figure 1 below.
As can be seen in the aerial photo, the northern end of the sand tube was exposed while most of
the tube along the south end of the sandbag revetment was buried. The exposed portion of the
sand tube on the north end of the revetment was continuing to provide substantial scour
protection for the sandbag revetment. However, due to the volatility of the shoreline in the area,
portions of the sand tube are alternately buried and covered. A series of ground photos of the
completed sandbag revetment taken March 6, 2015, show some exposed and buried sand tubes
are provided on Figure 2 to 6. The figures are arranged in a north to south order.
Along those portions of the revetment where the tube is still exposed, the tube is clearly
providing scour protection to the sand bag revetment. The removal of the partially buried and
exposed sand tube will likely result in rapid scour along the toe of the sand bag revetment
located in these areas that will in turn lead to the failure of the sand bag revetment.
%�IAY 0 1 2015

Onslow County, in cooperation with the Town of North Topsail Beach, is in the process of
seeking non - federal permits that will allow the County to maintain authorized federal navigation
channels in the vicinity of North Topsail Beach including the channel through Cedar Bush Cut,
the southern portion of New River, and sections of the AIWW where these channel meet. In
accordance with the permit request, the material that would be removed to maintain the channels
would be deposited along portions of the north end of North Topsail Beach including the area
immediately fronting the sand bag revetment. Onslow County anticipates having the permits in
time to perform the maintenance dredging during the upcoming environmental dredging window
that runs from November 16, 2015 to March 31, 2016.
Given the dynamic nature of the area just south of New River Inlet and the uncertainty of future
shoreline responses in this area, the Town of North Topsail Beach again request consideration of
modifying the sand bag permit to allow the sand tubes to remain in place until the completion of
Onslow County's channel maintenanceibeach disposal activities. The Town expects the addition
of the navigation maintenance material will provide the level of protection needed to sustain the
area until such time the ocean bar channel of New River Inlet can be restored to a preferred
position and alignment as allowed under DOA SAW 2005 -00344 dated May 16, 2001 and
CAMA Major Permit#78 -10.
As previously stated, the commitments by the Town of North Topsail Beach to remove the sand
tubes in accordance with the permit conditions were made in good faith and based on the belief
the sand bag revetment alone would be able to provide the degree of protection needed to
preserve the area until the inlet channel relocation project begins to produce measurable positive
impacts on the area. In spite of the renewed request for a permit modification to extend the time
allowed for the temporary sand tube, the Town of North Topsail Beach remains committed to
remove the sand tubes once the channel maintenance activities are completed and the area
exhibits signs of continued recovery /stabilization.
There have been some recent positive shoreline responses in the area fronting the sand bag
revetment as evidence by the burial of a large portion of the temporary sand tube structure. The
Town believes that these positive changes combined with the placement of navigation
maintenance material in front of the sand bag revetment will be sufficient to protect the area.
However, the sand tube along the north end of the sand bag revetment continues to provide vital
scour protection and its removal prior to the placement of the navigation maintenance material
could result in dramatic failure of a portion of the sand bag revetment. Also, given the dynamic
behavior of the shoreline in the area as the inlet adjusts to a post - realignment equilibrium, the
recent positive trends could reverse exposing the southern portion of the sand bag revetment to
possible scour damage if the tubes are removed prematurely. In this regard, during a visit to the
site on April 7, 2015, the shoreline response in the area fronting the bags appeared to have
changed with more of the bags being exposed along the south end of the sandbag revetment.
Given the continued dynamic changes in the shoreline fronting the sandbag revetment and the
potential for failure of the revetment due to scour along the seaward toe of the structure, the
Town of North Topsail Beach requests a modification of the existing CAMA permit #92 -14 to
extend the time the sand tubes can remain in place until at least March 31, 2016 or upon
completion of the Onslow County channel maintenance activities.

Give complete description
A temporary sand - filled containment tube was constructed as part of the Phase I Emergency Sand Bag Revetment on the north
end of North Topsail Beach, for the purpose of providing protection to the area during installation of the sandbag reventment.
The containment tube is approximately 1,350 ft. long and 12 ft. wide, and affects approximateey 16,200 sq ft. of shoreline.
The containment tube was constructed at approximately 5 ft NAVD. The existing permit requires the temporary containment
tube to be removed upon completion of the sandbag revetment, or May 21, 2015, whichever is sooner. Portions of the
containment tube are alternatiely buried and covered depending on shoreline conditions; those exposed portions are
providing scour protection of the sandbag revetment. Removal of the tube at this time may therefore result in rapid scour
along the toe of the revetment, and subsequent failure of the revetment. The Town is seeking a permit modification to allow
the temporary containment tube to remain in place until the Onslow maintenance navigation and disposal of material along
the north end of North Topsail Beach can occur, or March 31, 2016.
