Division of Coastal Management 1367 US 17 South Elizabeth City, NC 27909 ATTN : Mr. Greg Daisey NCDOT Coordinator October 1, 2015 NICHOLASJ.TENNYSON SECRETARY Subject: Request for Modification of the CAMA Major Development Permit for the Construction of Wavebreak Structure and Subsequent Study to Serve as Mitigation to Offset Potential Loss of SAV Habitat During Construction of the Replacement of Bridge No 11 over Oregon Inlet on NC 12 in Dare County. TIP No. B-2500 Phase I, Debit $475 from WBS Element 32635.1.3 References Dear Sir: CAMA Permit No. 106-12 dated September 19, 2012 The North Carolina Department of Transportation requests modification to the above referenced permit, as the mitigation plan to offset potential impact(s) to Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) due to the replacement of Bridge 11 has been finalized. The attached Phase I SAV Mitigation Plan proposes a 500-foot long wavebreak structure, engineered to attenuate wave energies and provide a suitable wave climate to promote SAV coverage. The mitigation site is located southwest of Bonner Bridge, on a stable shoal that has supported patchy seagrass cover since at least 2012. Construction of the structure will occur from barges and equipment will not dredge or be dragged on the sound bottom. Impacts to the sound bottom will be limited to include the driving of piles, and the placement of the structure itself. The proposed, 500-foot long Reefmaker structure, is estimated to have a 0.06 ac (2,500 sq. ft.) benthic footprint. It is anticipated that any SAV impacts during construction will be offset by relocation into the forecast wave shadow of the structure. An "as-built" report will be supplied to DCM after installation.

Bonner Bridge is reaching the end of its service life and needs to be replaced. The Bonner Bridge provides the only highway connection for Hatteras Island to the mainland in Dare County, North Carolina via NC 12 and US 64 (Appendix A, Figure 1). The Bonner Bridge will be replaced with a new bridge that will provide access to Hatteras Island across Oregon Inlet. The bridge replacement project is known as State Transportation Improvement Project (STIP) B- 2500, replace bridge 270011 (Herbert C. Bonner Bridge) over Oregon Inlet, NC Improvements. In 2012 CSA Ocean Sciences, Inc. was contracted by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) to conduct seagrass mitigation to compensate for losses anticipated to occur during the replacement of the Bonner Bridge over Oregon Inlet (Fonseca, 2015). This project is part of a larger long-term effort to determine the best strategy and methodology for seagrass or submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) restoration and mitigation in North Carolina. Submerged aquatic vegetation helps stabilize coastal shorelines through rhizome binding of sediment in shallow nearshore regions, suspended sediment trapping, and wave and current attenuation. SAV distribution is driven by water depth, light penetration, nutrient loading, salinity, exposure to waves and currents, biological disturbance and fishing practices, and in particular, vulnerability to extreme storm events. Because SAV have stabilizing effects on the coastlines around the areas they inhabit, substantive changes in the SAV community will strongly shape the physical integrity of the coastline. Also, because SAV provides critically important food and shelter for fisheries, changes in SAV will affect the fisheries of the future (NCCOS, 2012). Replacement of the Bonner Bridge will permanently impact approximately 2.66 acres of SAV areas for which mitigation will be required. Mitigation measures will include removal of the existing bridge that will unshade 1.38 acres of suitable habitat, and the remaining 1.28 acres will be mitigated near the project area at the SAV mitigation site described in this plan. This 17-acre mitigation site will generate 1.3 acres of lift in SAV cover coupled with an additional 0.3 acres of hard surFace habitat suitable for colonization by algae, oysters and other sessile communities. 1.1 PROJECT OBJECTIVE The objective of this mitigation project is to reduce the amount of wave energy within the project site to allow for a more continuous cover of SAV (specifically the seagrasses Halodule wrightii and Zostera marina) to expand, providing increased seagrass acreage and associated ecosystem services. These services include water quality improvement, aquatic habitat creation, reduced sediment movement and plant community establishment. The wave break proposed in this mitigation plan will also create new linkages between intertidal and aquatic environments. 1.2 EXISTING CONDITIONS The mitigation site (Site S2) is located immediately west of the existing Bonner Bridge (Appendix A, Figure 2), and was selected as the preferred site following an April 28, 2015 field verification. It is located on a stable shoal that has supported patchy seagrass cover since at least 1998. During the April 28, 2015 field verification, a point-intercept survey was conducted at sites S2, S2A and S4 to determine the beginning and end point of seagrass along each transect and ultimately the SAV percent cover. Site S2 demonstrated a modest seasonal fluctuation in seagrass cover, increasing 15 percent since the previous survey conducted in 2012, but only to 26 percent cumulative cover (Table 1). Site S2A was rejected because of an emerging clay lens observed in the potential planting area (SAV does not grow well in clay). Site S2 was selected P� �{/j''SEF'I CS � 4 L'�i.itwi.w�ttCih��ix��:iiir� STIP 8-2500 Bonner Bridge Phase 1 SAV Mitigation Plan over Site S4 because of the potential for more change in seagrass cover with gap closure among the existing patches. iaaie �. sea rass ana eievation surve resuits Average Patch Seafloor Elevation Percent Cover Percent Cover Size 2015 Site (2015) (2012) �2 � (ht. above MSL in (ft ) ft) Site S2 26 11 26.9 -1.48 Site S2A 3 7 31.2 -2.66 Site S4 54 53 84.6 -2.89 The proposed site will be staked and signed to demarcate the proposed structure location during the public notice period; additional signage will be posted at Oregon Inlet Fishing Center. 2.0 PROPOSED MITIGATION PLAN This project is intended for mitigation for SAV impacts associated with Phase I of B-2500, the Bonner Bridge replacement project. A unique and proven engineered structure is proposed to attenuate wave energies and provide a suitable wave climate to promote SAV coverage. The wavebreak will be a permanent, `living' structure. The proposed structure is a 500-foot long wavebreak. The length was determined by iteratively adjusting the wall length and running wave and seagrass forecasting models (see below) on each successive wall length until an increase in seagrass cover meeting the mitigation acreage of 1.28 acres was achieved. The nearest portion of the structure is approximately 900 feet east of the closest existing tidal channel and approximately 2,200 feet from the deepest portions of that channel. Given this distance and the observed stability of the shoal over time (Google Earth imagery; 2004, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2014 and recent NCDOT high resolution imagery 2012, 2015), this distance is judged to be adequate to avoid any influence of the channel. The proposed design involves installing a continuous series of innovative wave attenuation structures, termed "EcoSystem Units", by Reefmaker (http://www.reefmaker.com/marine- ecosvstems). Each wave attenuator "unit" is comprised of a stack of concrete molded trays set with natural rock material such as granite. These systems are designed to fully attenuate wave energy while still allowing for the exchange of water and the passage of organisms through and around the structure's individual components. Moreover, they are designed for use in high energy wave environments and to survive the passage of large storms such as hurricanes. The proposed structures are comprised of individual units that are four feet tall and approximately five feet wide (Appendix B, Exhibits 1, 2, and 3). The benefits of this system include its ability to decrease the wave energy in the target location and to increase hard surFace area serving as epibiota habitat while reducing the benthic footprint compared to other techniques. 2 P� �{/j''SEF'I CS � 4 L'�i.itwi.w�ttCih��ix��:iiir� STIP 8-2500 Bonner Bridge Phase 1 SAV Mitigation Plan The Reefmaker systems have a much smaller benthic footprint (25 square feet per unit) to reach the desired height and have less impact upon installation than a traditional rock wavebreak. A traditional rock wavebreak of similar size with 2:1 slopes would have a 10,000 square foot benthic footprint. The proposed, 500-foot long Reefmaker structure, is estimated to have a 2,500 square foot benthic footprint. The design of the Reefmaker "EcoSystem Units" also provides considerable surface area for oyster settlement and other biofauna (Table 2). Based on preliminary design it is anticipated that approximately two units will be submerged below the normal high water level. Table 2. 500-foot Reefmaker structure surface area calculations Wave Attenuator Surface Areas Total Pilings/Units Units vertical sq. ft ac 2 11,413 0.26 101 2.5 14,696 0.34 101 3 17,978 (0.41) 101 The design and location of the wavebreak was developed by forecasting the wave conditions (Malhotra and Fonseca, 2007) and the associated change in seagrass cover that was expected to occur with the presence of the structure. The relationship of wave energy to predicted percent seagrass cover of the seafloor (Fonseca and Bell, 1998; re-fit with a yet more conservative regression model) was utilized to predict the percent seagrass cover of the seafloor with and without the wavebreak structure present. Change in seagrass cover by creation of the 500-foot wavebreak was based on the area of wave energy reduction ranging from 10 to 20 percent of ambient/normal wave energy. This range was judged to provide a conservative estimate of wave energy reduction over which to forecast seagrass cover while ensuring the target area (1.28 acres) would be met. Figure 3(Appendix A) shows the forecast for wave energy reduction to 10 percent of the ambient/normal wave energy, creating a wave shadow of approximately 57.3 acres. The forecast increase in seagrass acreage for the 10 percent assessment in this shadow area is approximately 0.91 acres. Figure 4(Appendix A) shows the forecast for wave energy reduction to 20 percent of the ambient/normal wave energy, creating a wave shadow of approximately 17.3 acres. The forecast increase in seagrass acreage for the 20 percent assessment in this shadow area is approximately 1.65 acres. The midpoint of the forecast change in seagrass cover in this 10 to 20 percent range of wave energy reduction is a net addition of 1.3 acres. Construction of the wavebreak structure will impact some existing seagrass patches. These seagrass patches will be relocated to gaps among patches on the lee side of the wavebreak structure to potentially accelerate the anticipated gap closure among the seagrass patches. The effect of the relocation will be tracked as part of the monitoring survey. Specifically, prior to installation of the wavebreak, a point-intercept survey will be conducted within the footprint of the wall and construction access corridor (e.g., construction barge). Three parallel lines running the entire length of the structure and corridor will be surveyed by this method and the percent cover of seagrass computed to document the amount of seagrass moved. The performance of the relocated seagrass will be monitored separately from other surveys, but will employ the same methods. In addition, the SAV environment within the vicinity of the existing Bonner Bridge will improve upon the bridge's removal in that shading to these habitats will be eliminated. The SAV habitat within the existing bridge location and the area of new bridge construction will be monitored as outlined in Section 4.0. 3 P� �{/j''SEF'I CS � 4 L'�i.itwi.w�ttCih��ix��:iiir� STIP 8-2500 Bonner Bridge Phase 1 SAV Mitigation Plan 3.0 CONSTRUCTION IMPLEMENTATION AND METHODOLOGY The construction of the Bonner Bridge seagrass mitigation wavebreak structure involves the following construction phases: Phase 1 — Reefmaker Casting • Setting up the casting molds • Pouring concrete and creating the Reefmaker units at the land base staging site (Figure 5[Appendix A]) - 301 Harbor Road Wanchese, N.C. 27981) • Concrete pouring and setting activities will remain in upland staging area Phase 2 — Material Transport • Materials including pilings, Reefmakers and hardware will be loaded onto the shallow draft barges and transferred to the site location from the land based staging area (Table 3) Table 3.

The construction schedule is dependent on receipt of permits, procurement of contractors, and appropriate weather conditions. SAV and Benthic Habitat minimization and avoidance measures During material transport and construction extra caution will be taken not to disturb the bottom habitat. A specialized landing craft barge will be used during transport and construction phases to assist with supplies and emergency response (Photo 3). The barge will be equipped with 360° sonar and an internal bilge system that will be used to monitor water level depths to avoid any impact to existing SAV during construction. Photo 3.

Threatened and Endangered Species Protection measures are addressed in the original CAMA permit additional conditions sections 35 and 36. These conditions specify: 35) In accordance with commitments made by the permittee, the discretionary measures for the piping p�over and three species of sea turtles that are described in the permit application that include the terms and conditions outlined in the July 10, 2008 United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Biological and Conference Opinions shall be implemented. 36) In accordance with commitments made by the permittee, all conditions outlined in the USFWS Guidelines for Avoiding the West Indian Manatee: Precautionary Measures for Construction Activities in North Carolina Waters shall be implemented. 4.0 MONITORING Various aspects of the proposed project will be monitored solely for purposes of identifying contributing factors affecting success of the SAV establishment, coalescence of existing patches, and overall persistence. These variables will be monitored through statistically robust design and sampling and documented in order to advance the science and improve the future of SAV mitigation success in North Carolina. SAV Mitiqation Site Monitorinq Mitigation site monitoring will be conducted for up to five years after installation of the wavebreak structure. The methodology for SAV restoration monitoring includes the following: o Wave Energy: Pressure sensors will be deployed 25 meters in front of and 25 meters behind the wavebreak to validate wave simulation models. Sensors are cylindrical (approximately two inches in diameter by 10 inches long) and will be mounted horizontally on the seafloor approximately six inches above the substrate on an embedded (into the seafloor) solid base. These sensors will record wave characteristics. They will be set to record bursts of pressure data every 30 minutes at a sampling rate of 4 Hz for 128 seconds. These data will also provide water level and tide documentation. During times of onsite seagrass surveys, these sensors will be systematically but temporarily relocated across the site to provide a spatially articulated assessment of wave energy distribution with regard to prevailing conditions. These wave energy maps of the area around each wavebreak will be used to inform the seagrass survey and determine the onsite relationships between wave energy distribution and seagrass coverage response. o Seagrass: Gap closure among seagrass patches and change in seagrass cover will be evaluated across wave energy regimes (to include at least 57 acres). Four wave energy regimes (treatments) will be defined by a required re-analysis of the wave energy distribution of the final wavebreak design and validation. The wave energy regimes will represent ambient (reference; < 10 percent forecast reduction), low reduction (10 to 33 percent forecast reduction), moderate reduction (34 to 66 percent forecast reduction) and high wave energy reduction (> 66 percent forecast reduction). The percent reduction regimes will be defined from a cumulative frequency analysis of the area covered by the 6 P� �{/j''SEF'I CS � 4 L'�i.itwi.w�ttCih��ix��:iiir� STIP 8-2500 Bonner Bridge Phase 1 SAV Mitigation Plan modeling effort where greater than 10 percent energy reduction was forecast to occur as the result of the wavebreak structure. The effect of biological disturbance on seagrass, specifically gap closure will also be tested. Two bioturbation exclusion treatments will be utilized, one with and one without exclusionary wire mesh (removed after patch coalescence has occurred). Large gap (four to six inch) metal mesh will be laid flush on the seafioor and anchored with approximately one to two-foot long J-shaped rebar stakes. Seagrass shoots would extend through the large gaps allowing their continued growth and expansion (vis a vis "TERF" method http://seaqrant.mit.edu/eelgrass/backqround/transplantinq.html; F. Short, UNH). Flush deployment on the seafloor plus anchoring is performed to prevent entanglement by sea life, such as diving birds. Randomly selected seagrass patches will constitute the individual (replicate) test units. To choose individual test units, a location will be randomly chosen in each forecast wave energy treatment area. The nearest seagrass patch to that location meeting two criteria will be selected as a test unit. The individual seagrass patch must first approximately match the average site patch size (+/- 1 standard deviation). The seagrass patch must also be separated from the next nearest patch by a minimum of the site average gap distance. Ten patches will be selected per wave energy treatment; five will be protected with wire mesh and five will be un-protected. The statistical approach for this experiment on the effect of waves and biological disturbance on patch expansion is a repeated measures two-way analysis of variance with wave energy and patch protection as main effects. The survey will end when patch coalescence begins; at this point the mesh and stakes will be removed and disposed of appropriately. o Structure/Hard Surface: Epibiota on the structure will be monitored through the establishment of randomly-placed, permanent quadrats, stratified by either side of the wavebreak (exposed versus sheltered side) and by elevation on the structure (near seafloor, mid-tide, high-tide) for a total of six monitoring strata. Ten quadrats would be assigned per strata for a total of 60 quadrats. Epibiotic coverage will be evaluated annually using a repeated measures design. The quantification will be determined based on the epibiota that recruit, but is anticipated to include percent cover by community type visually identified to the lowest practicable taxonomy. o Sediment Elevation: Digital elevation models will be created encompassing the full forecast extent of wave attenuation out to and including adjacent reference areas un- affected by the wavebreak to relate seagrass response not only to changes in wave climate but also to quantify any changes in sediment elevation. Sediment accumulation or loss can strongly affect seagrass coverage and thus is needed to provide explanatory capacity for seagrass performance. Because the wavebreak structure will be installed on a flat sand surface, little change in seafloor elevation is anticipated around the structure as the result of changes in wave energy. Wave refraction should be limited (i.e., no change in seafloor elevations) and effects should be limited primarily to wave diffraction. Any changes arising from the structure are anticipated to be minor and immediately adjacent to the wavebreak itself. The wavebreak is also installed at the seafloor surFace to prevent sand scour under the structure. The information obtained through the monitoring of this project will substantially increase the state of seagrass mitigation science by both quantifying the relationship between seagrass cover and P�- �{/j''SEF'I CS � 4 L'�i.itwi.w�ttCih��ix��:iiir� STIP 8-2500 Bonner Bridge Phase 1 SAV Mitigation Plan wave energy and by understanding the difference in the expansion rate of patches among armored and unarmored patches. Improving the quantification of wave and seagrass landscape cover will specifically inform future seagrass mitigation efforts using wave attenuation approaches. Similarly, understanding the relative impact of bioturbation versus waves on maintenance of seagrass landscapes will inform future mitigation efforts as to the degree (if any) of bioturbation exclusion needed to effect persistent coverage. Both aspects (waves and bioturbation) address important information gaps for North Carolina (and elsewhere) regarding the relative influence of waves and bioturbation on seagrass patchiness and have high intrinsic value. Temporary SAV Impact Monitorinq NCDOT will provide an annual update on the SAV areas temporarily impacted by the bridge construction. This annual update will consist of photographs and a written report on the progress of the temporarily impacted areas in re-attaining their pre-project abundance. Within three years after project completion, NCDOT will hold an agency field meeting with DCM to assess if the SAV areas temporarily impacted by this project have re-attained pre-project abundance (distribution or coverage). Existinq Bridge SAV Habitat Monitorinq In addition to the proposed mitigation site, the aquatic area in the vicinity of the existing Bonner Bridge will be monitored upon removal of the bridge to assess whether and/or to what extent the effects of removing shade will be to SAV and their habitat. 5.0 REMEDIATION AND LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT The wavebreak will be inspected for damage annually during the five year monitoring period. If monitoring data indicate that damage to the structure is having a negative effect on SAV coverage, then a remediation plan will be developed in coordination with DCM. In addition, the annual inspection will verify that the required signage and markings are present and visible. 6.0 MITIGATION SUMMARY The implementation of this plan is proposed as mitigation for approximately 2.66 acres of impact from the B-2500 Bonner Bridge replacement project to existing SAV by creating and affecting the local marine environment in the vicinity of the bridge, as an attempt to make it more conducive to the establishment and enhancement of SAV.
