Dear Mr. Turille:
Please reference the Town's July 13, 2016 and subsequent August 25, 2016 request,
submitted by your agent, Coastal Planning & Engineering, Inc., to modify the Department of the
Army (DA) permit issued on May, 27, 2011 for the'shoreline management along 11.1 miles of
oceanfront and the inlet management plan for New River Inlet in North Topsail Beach, Onslow
County, North Carolina. This DA authorization expires on December 3 t, 2041. Specifically, for
the upcoming channel maintenance event, your request is to shift or pivot the dredging footprint
approximately 17 degrees to the east compared to the original channel footprint, while the
dimensions of the channel remain the same as the original channel. The width and depth of the
modified channel would be 500 -feet wide and -18-feet NAVD88 deep.
Upon the review of the Town's request, our office has determined that the modification
of the ebb tide channel position can be authorized pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act provided adherence to all new, modified, and
applicable original conditions. This authorized modification isnot limited only to the planned
upcoming maintenance event, but will be applicable to all future maintenance/relocation events
during the life of the May 27, 2011 authorization provided no further modification will take
place.
1) New Special Conditions:
a. All personnel involved in the construction process along the beach will be
trained in recognizing the presence of piping plovers and red knots prior to the initiation of the
work on the beach. A contractor representative authorized to stop or redirect work shall be.
responsible for conducting a shorebird survey prior to 9:00 am each day of sand placement
activities. The survey shall cover the work area and any location where equipment is expected to
travel. The contractor shall note on their Quality Assurance form, or other equivalent type
observation form, for each day any observance of red knots and/or piping plovers; and those

-2 -
forms, which verify the observance of those species, shall be submitted to the USACE
Wilmington District Office the following day.
2) Modified Special Condition numbers coincide with the original permit conditions):
a. Special Condition (1): All work authorized by this permit must be performed in
strict compliance with the attached plans, all unchanged original plans and requirements, and the
FEIS. Any modification to these plans, prior to or during construction, must be approved by the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington District (USACE) prior to implementation.
b. Special Condition (3)(a): No maintenance event can be initiated unless one or
both of the following thresholds, as stipulated in the Final EIS, have occurred: 1) If shoaling of
the modified channel totals 85% of the actual dredged volume of the modified maintenance
construction and/or 2) If the channel thalweg migrates outside the 500 -foot wide corridor
established during the modified maintenance construction.
c. Special Condition (8): Any work constructed under authorization of this permit
shall be restricted to November 16 -March 31 for the initial 5 -phase construction and all channel
maintenance events of any year during the life of this authorization. No work will occur outside
of this time period. All activity, including mobilization efforts, is restricted from the beach and
inlet shorelines prior to November 16. Upoxr completion of the work, all equipment, including
pipelines, must be removed. no later than 11.59' pm 6n" March 31.
d. Special Condition (12)(a): The permittee must re -implement the North Topsail
Beach Shoreline Protection Project Monitoring Plan (copy enclosed) dated October 2006 for the
maintenance event. The monitoring area coverage for the inlet remains the same, but will
additionally cover the entire oceanfront shoreline of the beach fill placement footprint. During -
construction monitoring will be included and post -construction monitoring for the inlet and
oceanfront will take place for 2 full years after completion of the channel modification
maintenance event. During -construction monitoring will be implemented for each subsequent
channel maintenance event. Post -construction monitoring for future maintenance events will be
conducted as determined by the USACE. Prior to employing a contractor for bird monitoring,
the permittee must provide the name of the entity conducting the events to USACE for approval.
e. Special Condition (I 2)(d): All necessary precautions and measures will be
implemented so that any activity will not kill, injure, capture, pursue, harass, or otherwise harm
any protected Federally listed species (such as sea turtles, whales, manatees, shortnose and
Atlantic sturgeon, red knot, and piping plover). While accomplishing the authorized work, if the
permittee discovers or observes a damaged or hurt listed endangered or threatened species, the
USACE will be immediately notified so that required coordination can be initiated with the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife and/or National Marine Fisheries Service.
For your convenience, Attachment (A) includes a copy of the above modified conditions
in a version showing the edits of the original conditions for comparison purposes only.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Town 6f North Topsail Beach is proposing to nourish 11.1 miles of critically eroded beach
immediately southwest of New River inlet. The Town proposes to reposition the main channel
in New River Inlet to a more central position between North Topsail Beach and Onslow Beach
with the orientation of the channel essentially perpendicular to the alignment of the adjacent
islands. The material removed from the inlet will be used to fill a portion of the north section
(Stations 1020+00 to 1160+00). Material dredged from an offshore borrow area will be used to
fill the remaining north section, as well as the central and south beach fill sections (Stations
581+80 to 1010+00). The North Topsail Beach Shoreline Protection Project will also
incorporate an inlet management plan for maintenance dredging of the inlet with placement of
dredged material (approximately 600,000 cubic yards) along the north fill section of North
Topsail Beach every four years.
The Bird Monitoring Plan has been developed to collect observational data -of the federally listed
piping plover (Charadrius rnelodus), other shorebirds and colonial waterbirds that may utilize
the New River Inlet complex. Piping plovers have been observed using the New River inlet area
during migration and winter, though they have not bred there for about twelve years (S.
Cameron, pens. comm.). Annual surveys of breeding piping plovers are conducted by the North
Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NC WRC). However, little information is available
on non -breeding piping plovers on the north end of North Topsail Beach. The NC WRC
Shorebird_ Database has records of 89 piping plover sightings from 2000-2004 (S. Cameron, pers.
comm.). Surveys conducted by the Marine Corps Base, Camp Lejeune Environmental Division
counted 21 piping plovers on Onslow Beach between 2000 and 2004,.though no nests have been
documented there (S. Brewer, pers. comm.).
This plan is intended to provide information on indigenous and migratory bird species found
nesting, roosting, and foraging along the inlet shorelines and shoal areas of New River Inlet.
Data obtained from the bird surveys will determine positive and/or negative effects from the inlet
channel relocation efforts to breeding, migrating and wintering birds utilizing the inlet complex.
2.0 PURPOSE AND GOALS
The Bird Monitoring Plan has been developed in support of the Environmental Impact Statement
currently being prepared for the North Topsail Beach Shoreline Protection Project. The plan is
intended to provide one-year of pre -construction baseline data on birds utilizing the area. Bird
monitoring activities conducted during construction and post -construction will utilize the same
methods described in this plan. Transect areas will focus on the inlet complex to establish any
changes in species usage before, during and after relocation of the main ebb channel. The limits
of the transect areas are described in Section 4.0.
3.0 PROJECT LOCATION
North Topsail Beach is located at the north end of Topsail Island in Onslow County. It is
connected to the mainland by State Route 210 and is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the south,
Stump Sound (including Alligator and Chadwick Bays) to the north and New River to the east
(Figure 1). The Town of North Topsail Beach has an approximate 11.1 -mile oceanfront shoreline
that extends from New River Inlet in the northeast to the Town limits of Surf City in the
southwest.
z
COASTAL PLANNING & ENGINEERING, INC.

4.0 SITE SELECTION
Bird monitoring areas were selected based on potential direct and indirect effects to the intertidal
and beach habitats in New River Inlet as a result of the channel relocation efforts. The draft
Project Area boundaries assisted in determining the extent of the transect areas, which are as
follows: Transect No. 1 Riverside of North Topsail Beach inlet shoreline beginning at .River
Road; Transect No. 2 Oceanside of North Topsail Beach inlet shoreline ending at River Road;
Transect No. 3 Onslow Beach inlet shoreline; Transect No. 4 shoal formations approximately
2,000 feet northwest of inlet mouth; and Transect No. 5 subtidal habitat in inlet computer. Refer
to Figure 2.
5.0 OBSERVATION METHODS
ODS
Species observations will be conducted with the use of a spotting scope to identify nesting,
roosting, foraging, territory establishment, courtship and copulating activities within the transect
areas. Observations of breeding sites and nesting pair counts will be included as part of the
report documentation.
Table No. 1 is a sample field form to be used for documenting bird species use and habitat
dependence in the monitored areas. The number of species and their associated activities will be
accounted for in each of the surveyed habitats. The following will also apply:
Species flying overhead of a surveyed habitat will be reported as flying;
- Birds observed as diving or floating in the nearshore will be reported as utilizing surf
zone habitat;
— Banding combinations identified on species of shorebirds and colonial waterbirds,
including piping plovers, will be recorded in the notes column to assist in identifying
population migration patterns;
Species observations along the dry beach habitat of the inlet shorelines will extend up to
the landward edge of the frontal dune or edge of vegetation, whichever comes first; and
Bird species observed, but not currently listed will be identified and accounted for under
"Other Species".
Field observations will be conducted during daylight hours. Both high and low tide cycles will
be surveyed at each of the four transects, but is not required during each monitoring event.
Surveys will primarily occur during high tide with a minimum of one low tide per survey per
month.
Observations along narrow beach habitats will be conducted by walking parallel to the beach.
Wider, open areas such as washover habitats will involve walking in a zigzag pattern to observe
all birds utilizing the area. Mixed flocks of roosting shorebirds will be surveyed thoroughly so
that all species are accounted for. Surveys will not be conducted during inclement weather
conditions (high winds > 20 mph, heavy rains, and/or below freezing conditions). A small skiff
may be used for accessing shoal transect areas and beach habitats. The use of ATV's or similar
vehicles will not be used on the beach during surveys.

Observation areas will adjust'to changing conditions (e.g. erosion, accretion). -A handheld GPS
unit with WAS capabilities and an accuracy of < 3m will be used once per month to map
transect areas. The mapped area will be used to calculate relative abundance.
6.0 MONfIC'ORING SCHEDULE
This monitoring plan includes one year of pre -construction monitoring, during construction and
three -years of post -construction monitoring.
7.0 PRE -CONSTRUCTION MONITORING
Pre -construction monitoring will occur one year prior to construction beginning in November.
Monitoring efforts will be consistent with the piping plover breeding season, as well as the
spring and fall migration periods. Pre -construction monitoring will be conducted approximately
every 10 days during spring migration (March 1 to April 30); approximately every 15 days
during breeding season (May 1 to July 13); and approximately every 10 days during fall
migration (July 14 to November 30). Monitoring during the wintering season (December
through February) will occur on a monthly basis.
8.0 DURING CONSTRUCTION MONITORING
The proposed project is currently scheduled for a 2007/2008 construction period. Upon
commencement of construction activities, a weekly bird .monitoring schedule will begin. In the
event that a second construction timeframe is needed to complete the planned activities, this will
occur in the 2008/2009 period. At which time, the bird monitoring schedule will be reassessed.
9.0 POST -CONSTRUCTION MONITORING
The monitoring frequency will return to the pre -construction schedule as soon as all construction
equipment has been demobilized from the project area. The post -construction monitoring efforts
are currently scheduled to occur for three -years (2008 through 2010).
10.0 REPORTING
Bird data sheets will be provided to the Project Delivery Team by electronic mail on.a monthly
basis on or about 30 days after the last monitoring event of the month. Annual reports
(November to November) will include species richness and abundance analyses for shorebirds
and waterbirds. Reports will be prepared and distributed to the USACE, USFWS, NC DCM, and
NC WRC within 90 days after the end of the monitoring year.
