Abstract
Olsen Associates, Inc. (OA) is the project engineer representing the Village of Bald Head Island,
North Carolina in its efforts to control erosion along the south shore of Bald Head Island at the
mouth of the Cape Fear River. In order to provide an initial assessment of the potential effects of
borrowing nourishment material from Frying Pan Shoals on potentially significant submerged
cultural resources, OA contracted with Tidewater Atlantic Research, Inc. (TAR) of Washington,
North Carolina to conduct a 2015 reconnaissance magnetometer survey of the proposed borrow
site at 100-foot line spacing. Field research for the project was conducted on 27 and 28 April
2015. Analysis of the magnetic remote -sensing data generated during the reconnaissance survey
identified a total of 34 magnetic anomalies. Twenty-two of those magnetic anomalies lie in the
2016 survey area. Those data and data from a geophysical survey led to refining the proposed
borrow site. On 20 and 21 July 2016, TAR carried out a second remote -sensing survey to
generate sufficient magnetic and acoustic data to support a submerged cultural resource
assessment. That survey identified 39 magnetic anomalies. Sonar produced no evidence of
material exposed on the bottom surface. Based on those data a single buffer that encompasses
four magnetic anomalies identified in 2015 and five magnetic anomalies identified in 2016 is
recommended. The remaining magnetic anomalies in the 2016 survey area all resemble single
object sources and do not appear to represent a potentially significant submerged cultural
resource. None of those anomalies are recommended for avoidance and no additional
investigation is recommended in conjunction with the project as proposed.

Introduction
Olsen Associates, Inc. (OA) is the project engineer representing the Village of Bald Head Island,
North Carolina in its efforts to control erosion along the south shore of Bald Head Island at the
mouth of the Cape Fear River in Brunswick County. A borrow site on Frying Pan Shoals is the
recommended source. In order to provide an initial assessment of the potential effects of
borrowing nourishment material from Frying Pan Shoals on submerged cultural resources, OA
contracted with Tidewater Atlantic Research, Inc. (TAR) of Washington, North Carolina to carry
out a reconnaissance -level marine survey of the proposed borrow area in 2015. In 2016, OA
again contracted with TAR to carry out a follow-up remote -sensing survey of a revised final
borrow site. That survey included both magnetic and acoustic remote sensing to generate
sufficient data to support an assessment of potential impacts on submerged cultural resources.
The 2016 remote -sensing investigation conducted by TAR archaeologists was designed to
provide accurate and reliable reconnaissance -level identification, assessment, and documentation
of submerged cultural resources in the proposed borrow area. The assessment methodology was
developed to comply with the criteria of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (Public
Law 89-665), the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (Public Law 11-190), Executive
Order 11593, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, Procedures for the protection of
historic and cultural properties (36 CFR Part 800) and the updated guidelines described in 36
CFR 64 and 36 CFR 66. The results of the investigation were designed to furnish OA with the
archaeological data required to comply with submerged cultural resource legislation and
regulations.
TAR carried out the 2016 survey of the proposed borrow site at 100-foot and 50-foot line
spacing. The 100-foot 2016 lines were designed to fall in between the 2015 lines and with
additional 50-foot lines in new areas this provides 50-foot line spacing throughout the revised
borrow site. Field research for the initial reconnaissance survey project was carried out on 20 and
28 April 2015. The second remote -sensing survey was carried out on 20 and 21 July 2016.
Analysis of the magnetic remote -sensing data generated during the 2016 Frying Pan Shoals
survey identified a total of 39 magnetic anomalies. Sonar produced no evidence of material
exposed on the bottom surface. A total of 22 of the magnetic anomalies identified in 2015 lie
within the revised borrow site perimeter. Based on the 2015 and 2016 data, a single buffer that
encompasses four anomalies identified in 2015 and five anomalies identified in 2016 is
recommended. The remaining anomalies 2015 and 2016 anomalies in the 2016 revised survey
area all resemble single object sources. None of those appear to represent a potentially significant
submerged cultural resource.
Project personnel consisted of Principal Investigator Gordon P. Watts, Jr., and Remote -Sensing
Operator Richard Dentzman. Dr. Watts analyzed the remote -sensing data. Dr. Watts and Senior
Historian Robin Arnold prepared this management summery.

Project Location
The current remote -sensing project area is situated on the south side of Frying Pan Shoals
approximately 8,800 feet south of the southeast point of Bald Head Island. The area surveyed
was polygon in shape measuring approximately 5,200 feet in length [south to north] and 4,100
feet in width [east to west] (Figure 1).

Remote -Sensing Survey
In order to reliably identify submerged cultural resources, TAR archaeologists conducted a
systematic 50-foot line spacing remote -sensing survey covering the proposed 2016 borrow site.
Underwater survey activities were conducted from the 25-foot survey vessel Atlantic Surveyor.
In order to fulfill requirements for the initial reconnaissance survey, only magnetic remote -
sensing equipment was employed. Because magnetic remote sensing alone does not fulfill the
requirements for a cultural resource survey, additional lines were run with both magnetic and

Ld
acoustic remote -sensing equipment during the second investigation. Data collection during both
investigations was controlled using a differential global positioning system (DGPS). DGPS
produces the highly accurate coordinates necessary to support a sophisticated navigation program
and assures reliable target location.
An EG&G GEOMETRICS G-881 marine cesium magnetometer, capable of plus or minus 0.001
gamma resolution, was employed to collect magnetic data in the survey area (Figure 3). To
produce the most comprehensive magnetic record, data was collected at 10 samples per second.
Due to shoal water within the project area, the magnetometer sensor was towed just below the
water surface at a speed of approximately three to four knots. Magnetic data were recorded as a
data file associated with the computer navigation system. Magnetic data from both surveys were
contour plotted using QUICKSURF software to facilitate anomaly location and definition of
target signature characteristics. All magnetic data were correlated with sonar records.
Figure 3. Launching EG&G Geometrics G-881 cesium vapor magnetometer.
A Klein 3900 450/900kHz high -resolution digital sidescan sonar was employed to collect
acoustic data in the 2016 survey area (Figure 4). During the survey, the sidescan sonar transducer
was deployed and maintained at approximately 5 feet below the water surface during data
acquisition. Acoustic data was collected along transects spaced on 100-foot intervals in the
previously covered area and 50-foot intervals in new areas. Sonar range scales were selected to
provide a minimum of 200% coverage of the 2016 survey area and generate high target signature
definition. Sonar data was recorded and tied to the magnetic data by regular DGPS annotations.

A TRIMBLE AgGPS was used to control navigation and data collection in the survey area. That
system has an accuracy of plus or minus three feet, and can be used to generate highly accurate
coordinates for the computer navigation system on the survey vessel. The DGPS was employed
in conjunction with an onboard laptop loaded with HYPACK navigation and data collection
software (Figure 5). Positioning data generated by the navigation system were tied to
magnetometer records by regular annotations to facilitate reliable relocation location and anomaly
analysis. All data is related to the North Carolina State Plane Coordinate System, NAD 83.

Data Analysis
To ensure reliable target identification and assessment, collection and analysis of the magnetic
data was carried out using HYPACK survey software. Magnetic data generated during the survey
was reviewed in HYPACK to identify anomalies and contour plotted at 5-gamma intervals for
analysis and accurate location of the material generating each magnetic anomaly using
QUICKSURF contouring software. Magnetic anomalies were isolated and analyzed in accordance
with intensity, duration, areal extent, and other signature characteristics.
Each line of sonar data was reviewed using SONARWIZ software from Chesapeake Technology.
Reviewed data was systematically examined for targets on the basis of configuration, areal extent,
elevation, target intensity and contrast with background and shadow image and were also
reviewed for possible association with identified magnetic anomalies. Sonar data was mosaiced
in SONARWIZ to confirm coverage, assist with analysis and provide report illustrations.
Data generated by the remote -sensing equipment was developed to support an assessment of each
magnetic anomaly and/or acoustic signature. Analysis of each signature included consideration
of magnetic and sonar signature characteristics previously demonstrated to be reliable indicators
of historically significant submerged cultural resources. Assessment of each anomaly includes
identification of those that merit avoidance options and possible buffer recommendations to avoid
potential cultural resources. Where avoidance is not possible the assessment will include
recommendations for additional investigation to determine the exact nature of the cultural
material generating the signature and its potential National Register of Historic Places (NRHP)
significance. Historical evidence is being developed into a background context and an inventory
of shipwreck sites that identified possible correlations with potentially significant magnetic
anomalies. A magnetic contour map of the survey area will be produced to aid in the analysis of
each anomaly. All magnetic anomalies are listed and described in Appendix A.
Description of Findings
Analysis of the magnetic remote -sensing data generated during the 2016 Frying Pan Shoals
survey identified a total of 39 magnetic anomalies. A total of 22 of the magnetic anomalies
identified in 2015 also lie within the revised borrow site perimeter (Figure 6). Sonar produced no
evidence of material exposed on the bottom surface (Figure 7).
Based on the 2015 and 2016 data, a single buffer that encompasses four anomalies identified in
2015 and five anomalies identified in 2016 is recommended. That buffer includes: 2015
anomalies 010-1-mc-18.2g-352.1f, 013-1-mc-82g-363.5ff, 014-4-nm-2.5g-34.8f and 014-5dp-
14.9g-92.7f, and 2016 anomalies 029-1-nm-15.3g-124f, 031-1-dp-10.9g-121.8f, 035-1-me-7.8g-
147.9f, 037-1-mc-7.3g-205.1f, and 039-3-dp-24.6g-117.5f. That cluster of anomalies includes
several multi -component signatures and a geographical association that could be associated with
small vessel remains and an associated scatter of debris. For that reason, the anomaly cluster is
buffered and recommended for avoidance (Figure 8).

The remaining anomalies in the 2016 survey area appear to be generated by small single objects
such as pipe, traps or small boat anchors. Several more moderate signatures could also represent
larger pipe cable, chain, or larger vessel anchors. None of those appear to represent a potentially
significant submerged cultural resource. Those anomalies are not recommended for avoidance
and no additional investigation is recommended in conjunction with the project as proposed.
Conclusions and Recommendations
Historical and archaeological literature and background research confirmed evidence of sustained
historic maritime activity associated with the Bald Head Island and Cape Fear River area that
continues in the modern era. Documented transportation activities in the vicinity of Bald Head
Island and neighboring waterways date from the first half of the sixteenth century. The Cape
Fear River region became a focus for European activities as early as 1526 when Vasquez de
Ayll6n led an expedition from Florida into the Cape Fear region. Permanent settlement along the
banks of the Cape Fear River began during the second decade of the eighteenth century. As a
consequence of nearly 400 years of navigation in the coastal region of Brunswick County and
settlement along the banks of the Cape Fear River since the eighteenth century, there is a high
probability that historically significant submerged cultural resources are located in the area.
Although three wrecks are charted in the immediate vicinity of the proposed borrow site on
NOAA Chart 11536, no remote -sensing evidence of vessel remains was apparent at those
locations. While that is not unusual, buffered material in the project area could be associated with
the remains of one or more of those wrecks. While no shipwrecks in the project vicinity have
been listed on the NRHP or with the North Carolina Underwater Archaeology Branch [UAB-Fort
Fisher NC], previously identified vessel remains document that they exist, and there are at least
27 shipwrecks recorded in the coastal waters near Bald Head Island and the mouth of the Cape
Fear River. Because of their association with the broad patterns of North Carolina history, the
remains of sunken vessels preserve important information about the maritime heritage of the
North Carolina coast.
In the event that the buffered anomalies can be avoided, no additional investigation is
recommended in conjunction with the proposed project. None of the un-buffered anomalies have
signature characteristics similar to those associated with historical vessel remains and no
additional investigation is recommended for cultural resource assessment. However, if the buffer
cannot be avoided, additional investigation should be carried out to identify the source of those
anomalies and assess the NRHP significance of material generating those signatures. In the event
that historical vessel remains or other archaeological sites are identified during the course of
proposed dredging, the dredge contractor should be required to immediately shift its operations to
a different area and immediately notify the respective Point of Contact for the Village of Bald
Head Island, OA, and the UAB [representing the North Carolina Department of Natural and
Cultural Resources] of the situation.

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Bald Head Island is part of an island group known as Smith Island, located east the confluence of the
Cape Fear River and Atlantic Ocean between Oak Island/Caswell Beach in Brunswick County and Ft.
Fisher to the north in New Hanover County. The island is accessed by private boat or a private ferry
service from Southport. The project's proposed borrow area is along the western side of Frying Pan
Shoals located approximately a mile southeast of Bald Head Island (and the Shoals Club). The proposed
area encompasses approximately 188.7 acres of an overall borrow investigation site of 460 acres.
The project disposal area extends the entire stretch of South Beach, which is located within the Ocean
Erodible Area of Environmental Concern (AEC). The annual erosion rate for the project area ranges from
2' to 10.5'/year per the Division of Coastal Management's 2013 Annual Erosion Rate maps. The Coastal
Resources Commission established the erosion rate at the westernmost end of the disposal area (at the
Point) and on West Beach in 2009 by Declaratory Ruling.
The disposal portion of the project predominantly falls within the USACE Wilmington Harbor Sand
Management Plan project area, which authorizes the placement of material excavated from the federal
navigation channel on South Beach at Years 2 and 4 of a 6-year cycle, although it appears the limits of the
currently proposed project extend slightly east of the historically placed limits of the federal project.
South Beach last received sand under the federal project in the winter of 2014/2015, and under the
Village -sponsored project (Permit # 91-14) this past winter through dredging of Jay Bird Shoals.
State Permits #9-95 & #67-09, both issued to the Village of Bald Head Island, have also authorized
nourishment of South Beach. State Permit #91-14 was issued to the Village of Bald Head Island on
October 21, 2014 for construction of a terminal groin structure and associated sand fillet. Phase I of
the terminal groin (a 1100 ft. long section) was constructed at "The Point" in 2015.
The waters of the Atlantic Ocean contiguous with this portion of the Cape Fear River are classified as
SB by the North Carolina Division of Water Resources. The waters are not designated as a Primary
Nursery Area (PNA) by the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries. They are CLOSED to the harvesting
of shellfish.
PROPOSED PROJECT:
The applicant is proposing a Major Modification of State Permit No. 91-14 for the use of Frying Pan
Shoals as a one-time beach maintenance borrow site, with associated beach nourishment at South
Beach, Bald Head Island. The application states that the permitted terminal groin, sand tube groins and
periodic nourishment events through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Wilmington Harbor project
are not sufficient to mitigate erosion on South Beach. While the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the terminal groin project identified Frying Pan Shoals as a potential sand source, Jay Bird Shoals
was identified as the preferred borrow area for initial construction and subsequently used for the first
associated nourishment event. A Major Modification application request was previously submitted for
the first post -construction maintenance nourishment event, however significant concerns were
expressed by agencies regarding the use of Frying Pan Shoals during review, which led to the

applicant's reevaluation of sand sources and subsequent use of Jay Bird Shoals, as previously utilized
for a Village nourishment project under State Permit 67-09.
The application discusses alternative borrow area sand sources, such as Jay Bird Shoals and Middle
Ground, the Bald Head Creek shoal complex, the three segments of the federal inner -ocean entrance
channel near Bald Head Island, the Offshore Dredged Material Disposal Site (ODMDS), and multiple
confined disposal facilities in the vicinity, but ultimately all were rejected as unsuitable sites. A
discussion of alternate sand source sites was included in the application (see pages 7-12 of the
Narrative).
According to the applicant, Frying Pan Shoals contains an approximately 460-acre sand source (as
investigated by the applicant) on the western portion of the shoal located approximately 1 mile seaward
of the southeastern shoreline of Bald Head Island (see Sheets 1, and 4-7 of 9). According to multiple
Vibracores analyzed for sand quality (see Appendix D- Geotechnical Report/Frying Pan Shoals Sand
Search Investigation), the applicant has determined that composite samples from the borrow site taken
to a maximum depth of — 25' Mean Low Water (MLW) contain 92.09% mean sand content and an
average of 2% fines (see Appendix D and Narrative). While the sampling performed does not meet the
technical standards for beach fill projects described in 15A NCAC 07H .0312, as sample spacing
requirements were not met throughout the borrow area, the Regulatory Reform Act of 2016-2017
was passed by the General Assembly (SL 2017-10). The legislation included language that
exempted the State's cape shoals, including Frying Pan Shoals, from the technical standards of
beach fill projects. The applicant has stated that the Sand Search Investigation characterizes the nature
and quality of the material contained within the proposed borrow site.
The application states that the proposed borrow site could provide 3.995 million cubic yards of
compatible material if excavated to a depth of -25 ft. NAVD88 and 2.487 million cubic yards of
material if excavated to a depth of -20 ft. NAVD88. The narrative characterizes the viability of the
borrow site as a potential sand source due to numerous factors including accessibility, presence of
high quality beach compatible sediment, ability to avoid cultural resources and a statement that the
area is highly dynamic and highly depositional (see Appendix D and Narrative). A brief statement on
expected borrow site recovery for Frying Pan Shoals is included in the Narrative (see page 15),
although no data or modeling results are presented. The application states that excavation would be
conducted to a maximum depth of -21 ft. NAVD88 with -2 ft. overdepth (see Sheet 8 of 9) utilizing a
27"-30" cutter suction dredge. A submerged pipeline would provide disposal on the South Beach
shoreline. According to the applicant, existing water depths the overall borrow area range from -15 to
-5 NAVD88 (See Sheet 8 of 9). Hydrographic surveys and a marine cultural resource investigation
have identified a buffer exclusion area within the proposed sand source footprint measuring
approximately 9.7 acres that would be avoided (see Narrative and Sheets 7 and 9 of 9).
The narrative states physical monitoring of the proposed excavation area would be conducted by the
Village of Bald Head Island immediately after construction, and annually for three years, then
biennially after the third year. Monitoring would include the entire borrow site and a 500' buffer
outside the borrow area. The applicant states that monitoring data would be utilized to

calculate deposition rates or "recharge" of the site as part of the existing BHI comprehensive
Shoreline Monitoring Program, which is reported annually.
The proposed limits of the beach fill template would extend from Station 48+00 to Station 218+00 on
South Beach, with a potential taper to Station 220+00. The applicant states that the beach construction
berm would conform to the previously authorized maximum berm elevation of +8.5' NGVD29. The
beach profile would have an average width of 350 linear ft. over the length of the entire 17,000'
disposal template area and would include a 20H:1 V slope (see MP-2 and Sheets 2 and 3 of 9).
According to the applicant, an estimated 98 acres of fill (-800,000 cubic yards) would be placed below
mean high water. The proposed beach fill project would excavate up to 2.5 million cubic yards of
material. It is estimated that the identified Frying Pan Shoal Site has a maximum compatible volume
of 8.5 million cubic yards of material available for long-term use, but the applicant acknowledges any
future events would be coordinated through an additional permit application.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The proposed excavation of the Frying Pan Shoals Borrow site could result in the excavation of up to
188.7 acres of Public Trust Area and Estuarine Waters. The subsequent beach disposal would result
in the filling of approximately 39 acres of unvegetated beach above MHW and approximately 98
acres of area below MHW. Increases in turbidity should be expected during construction.
The applicant has stated that because the borrow site is a highly dynamic and renewable shoal
feature, physical and biological disturbances should be minimized. While no data or modeling results
were presented to support the assertion, the applicant has committed to physical monitoring of the
borrow site. The application states that the Village of Bald Head Island will be responsible for any
dune revegetation or stabilization that is deemed necessary by agencies in a separate contract and
visual surveys of escarpments and remediation would be conducted prior to turtle nesting season. The
applicant states that work would occur during the winter months to reduce biological impacts.

3. DCM MP-1 Section 6.0 Additional Information
3.1 Section 6. a. Project Narrative
3.1.1 Introduction
The south -facing shoreline of Bald Head Island (i.e. South Beach) experiences ongoing chronic annual erosion
resulting in predictable sand losses and associated shoreline recession. Severe erosion has been chronicled along
South Beach (particularly its western reach) since the 1970s. According to a recent detailed physical monitoring
report, Olsen Associates, Inc. (2018), the firm computed that the Island's gross volumetric sand loss (excluding
East Beach) over the November 2000 to May 2018 timeframe was approximately 6.78 Mcy (corresponding to an
average annualized loss of 387,500 cy). The highest rates of sand loss have occurred principally at the extreme
west end of South Beach in the vicinity of the Cape Fear River Entrance. Ultimately, this prompted the Village of
Bald Head Island (Village) to procure authorizations for, and subsequently construct, a 1,300-If terminal groin at
that location. Construction of the terminal groin structure was completed in December 2015.
While the terminal groin has successfully addressed chronic shoreline recession trends along the westernmost
South Beach shoreline directly abutting the federal navigation project, it is acknowledged that the terminal groin
and an existing sand tube groin field (located eastward thereof) are not sufficient, in and of themselves, to prevent
or to adequately offset sand losses from South Beach in its entirety. As a result, periodic nourishment through
both the federally -sponsored Wilmington Harbor channel maintenance and disposal project, as well as Village -
sponsored "engineered" beach projects, have been (and will continue to be) required to mitigate erosion along
the entirety of South Beach. Hence, the long-term and recurring threat to existing homes, dunes and
infrastructure (as a result of both man-made and storm -induced erosion and consequential shoreline recession)
has required the Village to evaluate and develop long term sand source options deemed suitable for erosion
control.
3.1.2 Description of Borrow Site Alternatives
Areas considered as potential sources of suitable material for beach nourishment have been evaluated in the
context of the project requirements (both in terms of sand quality and quantity). Generally, sand source areas
must consist of sediments satisfying minimum standards for beach fill projects as stipulated by the North Carolina
Administrative Code (15A NCAC 07H.0312 Technical Standards for Beach Fill Projects)'. The applicant must also
consider the proximity of the source area relative to the area of beach being nourished due to transport logistics,
project duration, constructability, and cost constraints. All dredging and beach filling operations must be confined
to a relatively narrow window of time to minimize potential adverse effects to environmental resources. In light
of these considerations, the most desirable potential sources are identified in the general vicinity of West Beach
and South Beach on Bald Head Island.
1 Notably, Frying Pan Shoals (FPS) is exempt from the sediment criteria rules. SL 2017-10 specifies that until the North Carolina
Coastal Resource Commission (CRC) adopts rules exempting cape shoal systems from the Sediment Criteria Rule, it is required to
"exempt from the permitting requirements of the Sediment Criteria Rule and any sediment in the cape shoal systems used as a
borrow site and any portion of an oceanfront beach that receives sediment from the cape shoal systems," including from FPS. SL

The Applicant, in coordination with the project engineer, evaluated several borrow site alternatives prior to the
design of the proposed Frying Pan Shoals borrow site. The following sites were considered as part of the
alternatives analysis:
(1) Nearshore Inlet Shoals (including Jay Bird Shoals and Middle Ground);
(2) Wilmington Harbor Entrance Channel (Inner Three Reaches);
(3) Bald Head Creek Shoal Complex;
(4) Offshore Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Site (ODMDS);
(5) Confined Disposal Facilities; and
(6) Frying Pan Shoals.
A map of the approximate location of alternatives evaluated for potential sand source sites is provided in
Attachment A.
Alternate Borrow Areas within Nearshore Inlet Shoals fincludine Jav Bird Shoals and Middle Groun
In January 2017, the Village submitted state and federal permit applications for the proposed dredging of a borrow
site on Frying Pan Shoals (FPS). In consideration of the concerns raised by National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) and their accompanying recommendation to first explore other viable sand -source alternatives, the
Village further evaluated the potential to prioritize the use of the previously authorized borrow site located on Jay
Bird Shoals (JBS) (including both the partially recovered area dredged in 2009 and any remaining, undredged
portions of the permitted borrow site at that time). The Village had identified the JBS borrow site as the only
other viable alternative borrow area available for near term sand placement at Bald Head Island (BHI).
Within the developed JBS borrow site, there was an estimated 900,000 cy of sand remaining in the undredged
portion of the site and lying outside a Cultural Resource Exclusion area. Additionally, there was some volume of
sand available which was within the area previously excavated in 2009. The Village -sponsored nourishment
project in 2018/19 proposed the placement of approximately 1.2 Mcy. As a result, sand reserves within the JBS
permitted site were sufficient to meet the nourishment volume required for the 2018/19 project. However,
dredging beyond the previously developed borrow site limits could eventually induce significant impacts to the
JBS shoal feature. For instance, more expansive dredging within the shoal feature could affect wave climate and
tidal flows to such an extent that that it could adversely impact the shoreline of Caswell Beach and Fort Caswell
on Oak Island, as well as West Beach on Bald Head Island. Due to the identified potential for adverse impacts, the
design and implementation of a more expansive borrow site on JBS necessary to meet the long-term sand needs
on South Beach is not feasible.
Other ebb tidal shoals near the mouth of the Cape Fear River include Bald Head Shoal and Middle Ground. Similar
to JBS, these depositional features generally exhibit high sand content in sufficient quantities to provide the
necessary amount of nourishment to offset the sand losses on South Beach under consideration. However, these
shoals play an important role in the dissipation of storm wave energy affecting the beaches along Oak Island and
Bald Head Island. In addition, the shoals provide intertidal and subtidal habitat supporting estuarine and marine
fauna. Dredging from Bald Head Shoal is predicted to be highly detrimental considering ongoing changes at that
nearshore location due to the navigation channel reorientation, as well as the proximity and important beneficial
sheltering effects of this depositional feature to the currently eroding Bald Head Island beaches. In a similar
fashion, major nearshore modifications to Middle Ground could affect littoral processes at Oak Island. Middle
Ground is the most practicable sand source for cost-effective future beach restoration on Oak Island even though
it is not considered a high probability sediment source for work at Bald Head Island. To that end, the Town of Oak
Island has recently (January 2020) submitted permits to develop a borrow site within Middle Ground. As a result,
Major Modification to CAMA Permit # 91-14 — March 2020
South Beach Renourishment Project
Village of Bald Head Island, Brunswick County, North Carolina
N

the Town of Caswell Beach has requested that Oak Island provide post -construction monitoring and stipulate to
the mitigation of damages resulting from the dredging of the borrow site — should such occur. Additional removal
of material from these two areas to offset sand losses on Bald Head Island (or Oak Island) would provide temporary
benefits at best with the likelihood of reducing beneficial effects in their lee on one or both of the two adjacent
barrier islands. Hence, "over -utilization" of these potential sand sources is not recommended and in all probability
would be strongly opposed by interests on the east end of Oak Island.
Wilmington Harbor Entrance Channel
By way of Permit Condition #60 of Department of Army (DA) Authorization of the Terminal Groin Project (Action
ID No. SAW-2012-00040), the Village must evaluate the Wilmington Harbor Entrance Channel as a potential
borrow site for the maintenance of the groin fillet. To that end, the Village evaluated the use of the federal
channel reaches for borrow material as part of the Village -sponsored 2018/19 beach nourishment project. Since
all sand dredged by the Corps of Engineers (COE) in 2017/18 as part of their regularly occurring channel
maintenance was placed on Oak Island pursuant to the Wilmington Harbor Sand Management Plan (WHSMP),
there was not sufficient sand quantities available to the Village for their project. Similarly, the timing of future
COE channel maintenance projects makes it difficult to design, permit, and contract a Village -sponsored project
within the federal channel with any level of certainty of sand volumes and locations. This assessment was
corroborated by the Wilmington District Engineering staff as part of a Section 408 Permit analysis in May 2018
required by the Villages' 2019 1.2 Mcy fill project. At that time, the District determined that dredging of the
navigation channel was not a "practicable" option for beach maintenance on Bald Head Island. Moreover,
pursuant to the WHSMP, the navigation channel disposal sand is presently scheduled for episodic placement on
Oak Island beaches every third maintenance event.
Bald Head Creek Shoal
The previously permitted and dredged borrow site of the ebb tidal shoal of Bald Head Creek (BHC) is limited in
size and sand volumes to be able to address long-term sand needs of South Beach. Given its location and relatively
small quantity of sand available and the shallow depth of dredging required at that location, the BHC borrow site
is better suited for small volume requirements at West Beach. Moreover, only a small shallow draft dredge can
be utilized at that location. Therefore, the Bald Head Creek site is not suitable for any large-scale nourishment
event on South Beach.
Areas within Former Federal Channel
Offshore sediment data acquired from areas situated within the former federal channel alignment at the mouth
of the Cape Fear River indicate a high content of fine sediments generally considered unsuitable for beach
nourishment. Due to the nature of this depositional material and the technical standards for beach placement,
this alternative is determined not to be practicable and is therefore eliminated from further consideration.
Offshore ODMDS
The offshore ODMDS has been used for the disposal of dredged materials from the Wilmington Harbor Federal
navigation project and the Military Ocean Terminal at Sunny Point (MOTSU) for many decades. MOTSU is a
military port facility located on the west bank of the Cape Fear River approximately 10 miles upstream from the
river's mouth. Both the Federal navigation project and MOTSU require some level of annual maintenance
dredging. Reaches of the Federal project maintenance extend from the ocean bar channel at the mouth of the
Cape Fear River to a point just north of Smith Creek on the Northeast Cape Fear River (north of Wilmington, NC).
The Wilmington Harbor Dredged Material Management Plan (DMMP) provides specific information as to the
historical and present-day use of the ODMDS including documentation of the quantity and character of material

placed within. In addition, an evaluation of potential beneficial uses of material dredged from the Federal
navigation project is required as part of the DMMP. This requirement served as the premise forthe establishment
of the 2000 Wilmington Harbor Sand Management Plan (SMP) which specifically provides for the return of littoral
material to the beachfront. According to the SMP, beach -compatible dredged material (sands) dredged from the
ocean bar or river navigation channel should be placed on nearby beaches or within the active littoral system
when it is economically and environmentally acceptable to do so.
The DMMP clearly documents conditions of the two ODMDS sites (both the old site used until 2002 and the new
site used for current dredged material disposal). Specific volume totals of dredged materials placed within the
former ODMDS site are available from 1976 through 1999 (Table 1). Since 1987, the date of the site designation,
approximately 27.6 Mcy of dredged materials have been placed within the ODMDS. The source of the material is
divided into three general zones within the Cape Fear River: (1) the Wilmington Harbor Federal navigation project,
ocean bar channels (WH-OB); (2) the Wilmington Harbor navigation channel to Wilmington, excluding the ocean
bar and portions above the Lower Brunswick channel (WH-NAV); and (3) the MOTSU channel. Of the total material
disposed in the ODMDS, approximately 1S.S Mcy (56%) of the material has come from WH-NAV and the MOTSU
channels.

As identified in Table 2, the mid -project reaches of WH-NAV and MOTSU exhibit significantly higher silt and clay
components not compatible with beach placement. MOTSU dredged material alone (accounting for 12 Mcy or
43% of the total material placed in the ODMDS since 1987) is characterized as silty riverine sediments consisting
of 70% silt and clay. Additionally, it is commonly reported that the ODMDS consists of woody debris associated
with prior dredging of the river bottom. Since the development of the Sand Management Plan (as part of the
Wilmington Harbor Deepening Project in 2000), beach compatible sand dredged during maintenance events has
been pumped to the shorelines of Bald Head Island and Oak Island. As a result, much of the material disposal at
the new ODMDS location consists of higher silt and clay content. In light of these documented conditions, use of
either the old or the new ODMDS sites has been determined to be not practicable and has been eliminated from
further consideration in the following analysis of potential actions.

Confined Disposal Facilities (CDFs)
Over the years, maintenance for the Wilmington Harbor project has resulted in the creation of disposal sites along
channelized reaches of the Cape Fear River Estuary. The 1989 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the long-
term maintenance of Wilmington Harbor (USACE 1989) identified eighteen (18) disposal sites extending from
Snow Marsh Channel (north of Southport) to near the upstream limit of the federal project on the Northeast Cape
Fear River (just north of the mouth of Smith Creek) (refer to Attachment A). The disposal areas were originally
formed from pumping material to unconfined areas along maintained channel reaches. Over time, the federal
project included the construction of upland dikes to contain the dredged material. Most of these diked upland
facilities have since been abandoned by the USACE. These areas range in size with all but one site (Area 15 on
Eagles Island) less than 50 acres. Many of the sites have eroding dikes and have been subsequently overgrown by
Phragmites australis and wetland plant species. Based upon the location of these areas, many of the sites consist
of mixed material with higher content of fine-grained sediments. Only two sites (Area 3 and Area 4) are still
maintained by the USACE as CDFs. Area 3 (29 ac) has mixed sediment content and would likely not be a suitable
source candidate for beach quality material. Area 4 (25 ac) consists predominantly of beach -compatible sand.
However, sand from this island is dedicated for the federally -authorized Kure Beach project in New Hanover
County (NC).
Based upon documentation of existing disposal areas of the Wilmington Harbor project, use of any single CDF as
a source of beach -compatible sand is not viable. All but one of these sites consists of mixed sediment content
deemed unsuitable for beach placement. The one CDF (Area 4) that contains higher percent sand content is
dedicated as a sand source for the federally -authorized Kure Beach project. Given the quantity of sand required
for nourishment on Bald Head Island, the State technical standards the material must meet, and issues associated
with constructability, CDFs are not considered a practicable sand source alternative.
Frying Pan Shoals (Applicant's Preferred Alternative)
The screening and identification of a suitable borrow site considered the following conditions:
• documented strata of high quality beach compatible sediment suitable for meeting both State Standards
and post -placement performance criteria acceptable to the Engineer and the project Sponsor (and in
quantities sufficient to nourish the entirety of South Beach),
• desirable constructability characteristics for purposes of sand excavation and beach fill construction by an
ocean -certified cutter suction dredge;
• avoidance of cultural resources necessary for operational feasibility, and
• siting of the borrow area in a known dynamic but highly depositional area for purposes of ensuring rapid
substrate recovery;
• siting of the borrow area to minimize biological impacts to resident and transient species and their habitats
(including Essential Fish Habitat); and
• reasonable accessibility to Bald Head Island and proximity to nourishment site for logistic and cost
considerations (i.e. the project must be practicable and not prohibitively expensive).
In light of the criteria identified to meet the Applicant's project purpose and need, use of a potential borrow site
beyond three nautical miles (i.e. in federal waters) would not be feasible. In particular, such a site would not
provide reasonable accessibility to the nourishment site (needed for operational benefits), would be cost
prohibitive, and would necessitate working outside of acceptable environmental windows. In addition, it would
require the use of a hopper dredge that would result in entrainment impacts to fish and sea turtles as well as
increased risk of collision with protected cetaceans. As a result, Olsen Associates, Inc. (OAI) identified a nearshore

candidate sand source (i.e. potential borrow area) on Frying Pan Shoals that is further described below as the
Applicant's preferred alternative. In addition, more detailed information regarding existing conditions and
proposed work is provided.
ON has identified a preferred borrow site location (consisting of an evaluation area of approximately 460 acres)
along the west side of Frying Pan Shoals approximately 1 mile seaward of the southeastern shoreline of Bald Head
Island. Frying Pan Shoals is a submerged extension of a large-scale cuspate foreland (i.e. accretional feature
formed by the historical deposition of a longshore drift originating from both the north and the west). The shoal
formation extends well over thirty miles offshore from the eastern end of Bald Head Island. Prior federal studies
have identified the presence of vast quantities of beach -quality sand throughout much of the shoal formation.
The Village recently initiated more detailed site investigations (including hydrographic surveys, geotechnical
investigations, and marine cultural resource surveys). Based upon these studies and subsequent engineering
analysis, the identified borrow site has been further refined to an approximate 198.4-acre area (refer to Permit
Sheet 7 of 9). Avoidance and minimization measures are further described in Section 3.1.6 below.
3.1.3 Existing Conditions
Bald Head Island is a 3-mile long south -facing coastal barrier island located immediately eastward of the mouth
of the Cape Fear River at 33.85°N, 77.9889°W (NAD27). The island forms the southern terminus of the Smith
Island complex at Cape Fear Point from which the Frying Pan Shoal formation extends over thirty miles
southeastward into the Atlantic Ocean.
Bald Head Island's east and south shorelines (East Beach and South Beach, respectively) front Onslow Bay and the
Atlantic Ocean, respectively. The western shoreline (a.k.a. West Beach) is located immediately adjacent to, and
fronts, the Cape Fear River entrance. The north side of the island is bounded by the Bald Head Creek estuary. The
remainder of Smith Island is composed of interior tidal creeks (including Cape Creek and Deep Creek), associated
tidal marsh, Middle Island, and Bluff Island. The mouth of the Cape Fear River (over one mile in width) separates
Bald Head Island from the eastern end of Oak Island (or Caswell Beach).
As described above, Frying Pan Shoals is a submerged extension of a mega -scale cuspate foreland extending from
the southeastern point of Bald Head Island and extending greater than 30 miles offshore. Prior evaluations
conducted by the USACE as part of the General Reevaluation Report (GRR) for the Brunswick County Beaches
Coastal Storm Damage Reduction Project indicated the presence of substantial volumes of "beach -compatible"
material within Frying Pan Shoals.
3.1.4 Investigations
As a prelude to a comprehensive Sand Search Investigation, (Olsen Associates, Inc. 2016), the firm's subconsultant
Geodynamics performed a hydrographic survey of the area of interest along Frying Pan Shoals (since NOAA charts
are both dated and highly inaccurate in that dynamic area). Similarly, Tidewater Atlantic Research, Inc. (TAR,
2016) performed two (2) phases of marine cultural resource investigation to discern the location of potential
wrecks within the study area. The Phase II investigation identified one small buffer area mapped around one
cluster of magnetic anomalies recommended to be avoided (TAR 2016). Accordingly, a 9.73-acre Exclusion Zone
within the global 460.1-acre borrow area has been delineated — based upon the T.A.R. findings.
Athena Technologies, Inc. was retained to obtain multiple vibracores throughout the proposed area of interest
(where physically feasible). Those cores have been logged and analyzed for sand quality. OA subsequently
formulated a summary report of the Sand Search Investigation (Olsen Associates, Inc. 2016). According to this
report, the grand mean sand content for composite samples from the proposed borrow area was 92.09%, and the

percent fines measured over depth (to -25 ft MLW) was low (2% on average). It can be reasonably expected based
upon these results and the findings of other geotechnical investigations in similarly occurring, nearby shoal
features that depositional sediments above a certain elevation within the defined borrow area are reliably of
beach quality. Based upon experience with borrow site development and construction within Jay Bird Shoals, the
continuity of the predicted horizon of sands above layers of either clay or silty sands is highly predictable at this
location (Olsen Associates 2016). The permit request therefore seeks authorization to dredge above that horizon.
3.1.5 Proposed Work
In order to plan for and address expected sediment deficits over the next several decades, the Village of Bald Head
Island has identified an approximate 460.1-acre sand source for the acquisition of beach -compatible material
suitable for placement along the South Beach shoreline. The volume of sand placed for such a renourishment
project should be sufficient to both address expected sediment losses between federal disposal events, as well as
ensure adequate improved beach widths along the entirety of the South Beach shorefront. A predicted Contract
volume is estimated not to exceed 2.5 Mcy of beach fill (including losses experienced during dredging and fill
placement). A maximum Phase 1 (198.4 acres) borrow site to be permitted is located on the western portion of
the Frying Pan Shoals formation approximately 1 mile off the southeast shoreline of Bald Head Island within the
460.1-acre area discussed above. Sediment identified within the Frying Pan Shoals borrow site will be excavated
by cutter suction dredge and pumped by submerged pipeline to the South Beach shoreline. Assuming a neat sand
volume to a depth of -20 ft NAVD88, the identified borrow site could theoretically yield up to 2.487 Mcy. To an
elevation of -25 ft NAVD88, the neat sand volume is estimated to be 3.995 Mcy. Within the requested 198.4-acre
borrow site there is included a 9.73-acre Exclusion Zone intended to avoid impact to potential cultural resources
as identified by T.A.R. Hence, the net area available for dredging is 188.7 acres. Pragmatically, it is expected that
the Contractor's Dredge Plan submitted prior to construction could reduce the actual spatial acreage dredged by
up to 25%.
The South Beach construction fill template will maintain an approximate average berm elevation of +8 ft. NGVD
which is consistent with prior beach fill berms constructed by the Wilmington District USACE and the Village since
2001. A mild slope in the seaward direction will be introduced into the berm (by grading) to reduce post -
placement scarping and enhance post -construction turtle nesting activities. Should dune erosion or benching be
evident at the time of construction, up to 5 cy of sand per ft. of shorefront would be mechanically moved and
graded to repair the duneline. As in the past, any revegetation necessary for dune stabilization will be performed
by the Village under separate contract subsequent to fill placement completion by the dredge contractor. Post -
construction beach tilling will be performed based upon consultation with Resource Agencies after each future fill
event. To -date however, that requirement has been waived after an on -site evaluation by agency personnel.
It can be reliably assumed that a 27"-30" cutter suction dredge (Ocean Certified) must be utilized to excavate
material from the permitted open water site. Both draft and operational (as well as safety) considerations for
such dredge plants necessitate depths of excavation exceeding -15 ft (MLLW datum).
3.1.6 Avoidance and Minimization Measures
The selection of the proposed Phase I Bald Head Island 198.4-acre borrow site capitalized on the findings of
hydrographic surveys, geotechnical investigations, and two phases of cultural resource investigation. Of specific
interest in the development of the initial F.P.S. borrow site were the following desirable characteristics:
• reasonable accessibility to Bald Head Island;
• the availability of a Harbor of Refuge for the cutter -suction dredge during periods of inclement weather;

South Beach Renourishment Project

• documented strata of high -quality beach compatible sediment suitable for meeting both State
Standards and post -placement performance criteria acceptable to the Engineer and the project Sponsor;
• desirable constructability characteristics for purposes of sand excavation and beach fill construction by
an Ocean -Certified cutter suction dredge;
• avoidance of cultural resources necessary for operational feasibility, and
• siting of the borrow area in a known dynamic and highly depositional area for purposes of predictable
rapid infilling — thereby ensuring both substrate and benthic recovery between dredge events.
The specified design depth of the proposed borrow site will ensure that substrate sediments exposed immediately
after project construction will continue to consist of high -quality sands. Borrow site "recovery" (i.e. infilling) will
initially be influenced by both slumping of excavation perimeter side slopes and rapid deposition from predictable
sediment transport from north to south along the marginal shoal feature — as presently exists today. Advance
quantification of infilling rates is difficult due to equilibration processes between cut and uncut portions of shoal
during the first few years following dredging. Consequently, physical monitoring of the borrow site recovery will
be performed. It is well documented however that the section of shoal in question is naturally depositional both
in the modern day and the morphological sense. Regardless of future realized sediment deposition rates, the
probability of sedimentation by similar sandy material (in contrast to fines, organics, clays, etc.) is excellent
(McNinch, 2009) and coincidently is the principal post -construction borrow site characteristic desired for purposes
of rapid recovery of benthic communities (Bergquist, et.al. 2008) and corresponding minimization of potential
adverse effects to Essential Fish Habitat (EFH).
The project as designed will incorporate the following protection measures identified by the South Atlantic
Fisheries Management Council (SAFMC) specific for dredge and fill projects in areas designated as Habitat Areas
of Particular Concern (HAPC). These include the following:
1. Impact assessment (description of potential impacts; baseline information; alternatives analysis;
construction monitoring; post -construction monitoring plan);
2. Fill material should match that of recipient beach as closely as possible;
3. Dredging to be located in areas characterized by strong currents and sand movement to promote more
rapid infilling rates (and thus reducing the duration of impacts to benthic habitats); and
4. Dredging should be performed in a manner intended to minimize impacts to wave energy and currents,
"thus reducing the likelihood of infilling with fine-grained sediments".
In addition to the SAFMC protection measures, the proposed project incorporates following design elements that
helps to further reduce or avoid impacts to natural resources:
1. The site is a highly dynamic and renewable shoal feature (maintained by seaward flow of current off
cape) and thus physical and biological disturbances tend to be short-lived;
2. The position of borrow site on the western flank represents a sediment sink (thus promoting rapid
recovery and infilling with like material);
3. The combination of size and position of sand source site results in least impacts to shoal integrity;
4. Dredging to occur during winter months (reduced biological activity);
5. The project will allow for undredged areas in close proximity to be left undisturbed to promote more
rapid recolonization of benthos (as was documented for Jay Bird Shoals and Bald Head Creek Shoals with
similar post -project conditions);
6. The project will avoid hard -bottom habitat;
7. The project will avoid Primary Nursery Area (PNA) impacts;

South Beach Renourishment Project
Village of Bald Head Island, Brunswick County, North Carolina

8. The project will avoid inlet and associated shoals for large-scale sand volume needs';
9. The project will utilize hydraulic cutter suction dredge (thereby avoiding and minimizing physical
entrainment of species in close proximity to the dredge operation);
10. The project will include post -project physical monitoring of borrow site (i.e. assessment of physical
recovery); and
11. Any revegetation necessary for dune stabilization at the nourishment site would be performed by the
Village under separate contract subsequent to fill placement completion by the dredge contractor.
Based upon prior consultation with the Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) for previous
beach nourishment projects on Bald Head Island and the North Carolina Coastal Beach Sand Placement Statewide
Programmatic Biological Opinion (August 2017), standard conservation measures will be employed. These
include, but may not be limited to, the following:
1. Nourishment to occur during winter months (reduced biological activity);
2. Utilization of beach quality sand (compatible with recipient site);
3. Visual surveys of escarpments and remediation prior to sea turtle nesting season;
4. Qualitative assessment of sand compaction subsequent to completion of beach placement (typically
with staff of NC Wildlife Resource Commission);
5. Avoidance of shorebird and colonial waterbird nesting areas; and
6. Physical monitoring (see Section 3.1.7 below).
3.1.7 Post -Construction Monitoring
The Village as Permittee shall perform physical monitoring of the dredged F.P.S. borrow site immediately after
construction, annually for three (3) years and biennially thereafter. The post -construction bathymetry will be
compared annually with subsequent monitoring results to calculate in -filling or "recharge" of the site. The results
of the monitoring will be incorporated into the Village's existing comprehensive Shoreline Monitoring Program
and reported annually.
The footprint of each monitoring survey shall include the entire permitted area plus a 500-ft buffer outside the
site. No changes in morphology to the Frying Pan Shoals formation is anticipated; however, changes in bathymetry
throughout the study area as well as proximate to any cultural resource buffer will be monitored.
At present, based upon the continuation of federal beach disposal events at South Beach in accordance with the
Wilmington Harbor Sand Management Plan, it is predicted that the Village would potentially be required to
episodically borrow sand from Frying Pan Shoals every 9 to 10 years. The Village will recoordinate with all State
and Federal regulatory agencies prior to the initiation of any proposed redundant excavation within the overall
permitted area. The strategic design rationale for each future excavation will be provided for all subsequent
dredging operations or contracts proposed by the Village. The frequency of physical monitoring surveys will be
"reset" after any future dredging event.
2 All coastal inlets are designated HAPC for paneaid shrimp, blue crabs, and estuarine -dependent snapper -grouper species.
