I am writing to inform you all that today (May 31, 2017) was the last day of sidecast dredging at the connector channel
at Hatteras Inlet. I received word from the USACE earlier today that depths of -8 ft. MLW have been established on both
the east and west side of the channel and that charter vessels were using the channel this past weekend. The attached
map is a survey conducted by the USACE last week showing mainly the dredging completed on the west side. The
USACE expects to conduct another survey this week and will pass that information along when available.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this project. In the coming weeks we will submit any permit
required reports to the respective agencies.

As requested by the DCM as a condition of the relief granted originally on March 28, 2017 and extended on May 1, 2017,
1 am providing a weekly update to inform you of the status of the Hatteras Inlet Connector Channel Maintenance
Project. Since May 11th the sidecast dredge MERRITT has been working in the Hatteras Inlet Connector Channel. As you
are all aware the DCM and Division of Water Resources both agreed to allow dredging operations on this project to take
place until either June 15th, or 3 weeks from the date when dredging is re-initiated, whichever comes first. On May 12,
2017 we received a copy of the correspondence from the USACE agreeing to a similar allowance of an extension for
work until June 15th, 2017 or until the completion of work, whichever comes first. The three week timeframe will run
until mid-day on June 1.
The majority of the west side of the channel has been cleared down to a depth of -8 MLW. There is a small prism of
shoaling on the northern side of the western portion of the channel that they may try to clean up before leaving. The
dredge has only recently been able to break through on the east side of the channel, closer to the inlet. Some additional
shoaling occurred in that area since the pre -con survey was constructed and sea conditions earlier this week were less
than optimal. With W and SW winds this weekend they are hoping to make some good progress.
At present the plan is that they will be finished dredging by the end of the day on May 31, which would adhere to the
relief granted by DCM and USACE. They have asked that we re -assess things on Tuesday morning to measure the
progress made over the weekend as to whether or not additional days beyond May 31st are necessary to establish the
minimal channel dimensions. I will report back to you all as soon as we get an update.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this project. I hope you all have a happy and safe weekend.

I've heard from locals that the dredge has been focusing on the west side of the channel up until now and was
scheduled to switch to the eastern side today or in the next couple days. Jim Medlock of the USACE reported that they
are approximately 30% complete. That's pretty close to the schedule with —1/3 complete in the first week of 3.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this project.

As requested by the DCM as a condition of the relief granted originally on March 28, 2017 and extended on May 1, 2017,
1 am providing a weekly update to inform you of the status of the Hatteras Inlet Connector Channel Maintenance
Project. It is my understanding that as of today, the Dredge Merritt has returned to the Connector Channel at
Hatteras. As you are all aware the DCM and Division of Water Resources both agreed to allow dredging operations on
this project to take place until either June 15th, or 3 weeks from the date when dredging is re-initiated, whichever comes
first. Assuming the Merritt is operating today, the three week timeframe will run until June 2. At present, I am not in
receipt of any official correspondence from the USACE that the same relief has been granted by them as was granted by
DCM and the Division of Water Resources. However, I did speak to Josh Pelletier on Monday (5/8/17) and he mentioned
that they would be sending out the official approval on Tuesday. Neither Dare County nor CPE -NC have received a
digital or hard copy of that approval at present.
Josh, please confirm that the correspondence approving dredging beyond May 15th has been sent and if possible, please
provide a digital copy to both the County and CPE -NC.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this project.

Mr. Wilson,

The Division of Water Resources concurs with Division of Coastal Management. Due to the circumstances encountered
by the County the DWR will agree to an extension to allow dredging operations on this project to take place until either
June 15th, or 3 weeks from the date when dredging is re-initiated, whichever comes first.

Ken
As was the case with the first moratorium extension request, DCM spent a significant amount of time last week
reviewing this request. DCM is aware that the most recent delay that the County has encountered was something that
was totally outside of the County's control. We are also very aware of the urgency of this matter. With this in mind, and
again taking into account the urgency of this project, DCM does agree to allow dredging operations on this project to
take place until either June 15th, or 3 weeks from the date when dredging is re-initiated, whichever comes
first. Additionally, we ask that we be notified once dredging efforts resume, and that weekly status reports be
provided to DCM once work has begun so that we may remain informed about the progress being made towards project
completion. Please also note that this approval on DCM's part does not eliminate the need to obtain additional
approvals that may be required from any other permit agency, including but not limited to the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers.
As always, If I can provide any additional information or help on this or any other matter, please don't hesitate to let me
know.
Sincerely,

Doug

As a follow up to my email yesterday, I want to provide you with some updated information with regards to the Merritt's
dredge schedule. This morning, the Merritt was pulled from operations at Hatteras Inlet by the USACE to conduct the
emergency work required at Bigfoot Slough, mentioned in the previous email. Depending on weather and other
conditions, the Merritt may not be able to return to Hatteras Inlet until May 17. Obviously with the current relief period
only extending to May 15th, this is of concern to the County.
At present, only 3 days of dredging have been conducted at Hatteras Inlet. Attached is a map of the conditional survey
conducted by the USACE last week prior to any dredging. The Merritt concentrated on the western box shown in the
attached map during the 3 days of dredging (April 22, 23 and 24). They were able to open a preliminary channel
approximately 40 ft. wide and 6 ft. deep in that section. No dredging was conducted in the eastern box shown on the
map.
The USACE has suggested that they anticipate needing a little over two (2) weeks to complete the work once they return
to Hatteras Inlet. However, given weather and the possibility of dredge repairs, the USACE dredge operations folks
suggested we request an extentsion of the existing relief through June 15th. Please consider this a formal request for an
extension of the previously issued relief to extend through June 15th.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Josh/Doug/Steve,
I wanted to inform you all that maintenance dredging of the connector channel at Hatteras Inlet began over the
weekend using the Sidecast Dredge Merritt. That said, the USACE has been notified of an emergency at Big Foot Slough,
which takes priority and will require them to leave the connector channel at Hatteras sometime this week. At present
they do not know what day they will have to leave or for how long. The County is waiting to receive an update from the
USACE once they have a better idea of the amount of work required at Big Foot Slough. The tentative plan is to finish
the emergency job and return to the connector channel at Hatteras to dredge as much as possible before May 16. As
soon as the County receives an update from the USACE, we will pass this information along to you all with an estimate
on the progress they expect to make in the connector channel before May 16. The permit allows for the channel to be
dredged to 150' wide and -12.0' MLW. The County would like to get the channel as close to the permitted dimensions as
possible, going into the summer months.

Mr. Outten,
In coordination with the Division of Coastal Management, the National Marine Fisheries Service and the US Fish and
Wildlife Service, the US Army Corps of Engineers authorizes the Department of Army permit SAW -2016-02140 to allow
dredging operations until May 15, 2017. This approval is for a one-time event and all dredge window
moratoriums should be strictly adhered to for any subsequent dredging actions. Please note, this authorization does
not eliminate the need to obtain additional state and/or federal authorizations. All conditions of the original permit
issued on March 14, 2017 will be enforced. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. Thanks!
