9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Bald Head Island is part of an island group known as Smith Island, located at the confluence of the
Cape Fear River and Atlantic Ocean between Fort Fisher and Oak Island/Caswell Beach in
Brunswick County. The island is accessed by private boat or a private ferry service from Southport.
The proposed borrow area site is located at Jay Bird Shoals. Jay Bird Shoals is located west of
Bald Head Island and the federal navigation channel for the Cape Fear River. The project borrow
site and disposal area is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the south and east, the Cape Fear River to
the west and residential properties to the north.
The project area on South Beach is located within the Ocean Erodible Area of Environmental
Concern (AEC) and high ground portion is vegetated primarily American Beach Grass
(Ammophila breviligulata) and Sea Oats (Uniola paniculata). The annual erosion rate for the
project area is 8'/year per the Division of Coastal Management's 2011 Annual Erosion Rate maps.
The South Beach portion of the project falls within the USACE Wilmington Harbor Sand
Management Plan (WHSMP) project, 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. South Beach last
received sand under the federal project in the winter of 2014/2015. State Permit #139-10 authorized
the dredging of approximately 140,000 cubic yards of additional material from the mouth of Bald
Head Creek, which was placed on both West & South Beaches in 2012.
State Permit #9-95, issued to the Village of Bald Head Island, authorized nourishment of a portion of
South Beach. A minor modification of the permit was granted on July 7, 1995 by means of a CRC
variance, for installation of the sand groin field on South Beach (Federal Permit #199404687). A
minor modification of State Permit #9-95 was also issued by CRC variance for the construction of a
300 -linear foot sandbag revetment west of Groin #16 and extending towards "The Point" on August
8, 2011. State Permit #67-09 was issued to the Village of Bald Head Island for the dredging of
approximately 1.86 million cubic yards of sand from Jay Bird Shoals for the renourishment of South
and West Beaches. This permit was modified on September 2, 2009 to increase the depth of
excavation within the bounds of the approved borrow area to -24' NGVD29 (22' design depth plus 2'
overdredge allowance). Work under this permit was performed in 2010 (see Sheet 1 of 7 for limits of
work). On March 27, 2011 State Permit No. 67-09 was modified again to increase the line spacing
and decrease the survey buffer for post -construction survey requirements.
The current proposal has been submitted as a major modification to State Permit No. 91-14, which
was issued to the Village of Bald Head Island on October 21, 2014 for construction of a terminal
groin structure and associated sand fillet. This permit is due to expire on December 31, 2017. Phase I
of the terminal groin (I 100 ft. long section) was constructed at "The Point" in 2015. A previous
major modification request submitted earlier this year to use Frying Pan Shoals as a long term
borrow site has been rescinded. The applicant is now formally requesting processing of a revised
major modification request to use Jay Bird Shoals as a one-time borrow source. In concurrence with
Condition No. 22 of State Permit No. 91-14 the applicant has indicated that they have initiated
formation of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) for this modification request.

The waters of the Atlantic Ocean contiguous with this portion of the Cape Fear River are classified as

of shellfish.
PROPOSED PROJECT:
The applicant is proposing a Major Modification of State Permit No. 91-14 for the one-time use
of Jay Bird Shoals as a maintenance borrow site for sand placement on South beach, and the
terminal groin fillet, on Bald Head Island. According to the applicant, Jay Bird Shoals contains
an approximately 127 acre sand source, which includes a 12.5 acre cultural resource exclusion area
in northeast corner of the proposed borrow site. The application states that the use of the previously
permitted JBS borrow site, including portions of previously dredged borrow Area 2, and the
remaining undredged borrow Area 3 (see Narrative and Sheet 6 of 7) would address the immediate
nourishment needs of both South Beach and the terminal groin fillet. The application states that the
2017 monitoring surveys project an estimated 963,000 cubic yards of sand is available in the undredged
portion of the site and a similar volume remaining in the previously excavated areas.
In the original application for the terminal groin project the applicant had stated that the preferred
sand source for fillet creation was the remaining portion of the Jay Bird Shoals borrow site
authorized by State Permit 67-09. A discussion on "Borrow Site Formulation" for Jay Bird Shoals is
included. (see Narrative and "Jay Bird Shoals Borrow Site Re-evaluation" CD). The re-evaluation
report states that the "Village will be the recipient of the next two (2) federal channel
maintenance/beach disposal projects pursuant to the WHSMP. This would theoretically allow
the use of the Frying Pan Shoals borrow area to be deferred nearly 10 years into the future. It does
not, however, obviate the need to complete the permitting of the Frying Pan Shoals borrow site since
it may likely be required as a sand source after a hurricane or severe storm event". The current
application states that the Village of Bald Head Island does intend to re-initiate permits for the future
use of the Frying Pan Shoals borrow site.
An estimated 1 million cubic yards of material is proposed to be excavated to a depth of -24'
NGVD29 (22' design depth plus 2' overdredge allowance) from borrow Area 3 (outside of the
cultural exclusion zone) and within portions of previously dredged borrow Area 2 for placement on
South Beach (see Sheets 6 and 7 of 7). Within the proposed borrow areas, two areas of magnetic
anomalies were previously found, the cultural exclusion zone to the north and a federal tide
gauge to the southeast. The narrative states that an evaluation is being conducted to determine if the
spatial limits of the exclusion zone may be reduced. Approximately 62 acres of area labelled as
borrow Area 2, which was previously dredged during the 2010 project, will be re -excavated and
approximately 64 acres would be excavated from borrow Area 3 (see Attachment A). Please note
that the "Jay Bird Shoals Borrow Site Re-evaluation" reflects limited excavation volumes from
Village of Bald Head Island
Major Modification to State Permit No. 91-14

borrow area 3, this has been revised in the permit application to reflect the dredge limits discussed
herein.
The application states that 8 Vibracores were analyzed for sand quality within the infill areas of the
previously dredged borrow Area 2 in order to verify sediment quality or acceptability as beach fill on
South Beach. (see Narrative, Sheet 5 of 7 and the "Bald Head Island, N.C. Jay Bird Shoals Borrow
Site Re-evaluation" report). According to the report all JBS depositional material above elevation
-24 ft. NGVD29 is fine sand classified as being predominately SP and all composite sample
sediments over depth meet State Standards for placement as beach fill on South Beach. The report
further states that for the eight (8) cores acquired, the average mean grain size for all composite
samples was 0.21 millimeters (mm), Carbonate percentages from all composite samples ranged from
4.1 percent to 8.2 percent, with an average of 5.8 percent, and the fine-grained content (i.e., silt and
clay -sized sediment) was less than 3.1 percent in each of the composite samples collected from site
wide cores.
Work would be conducted utilizing an ocean certified cutter suction dredge and material would be
deposited on South Beach via a submerged pipeline. The application states that the submerged pipeline
for the current project may require burial under the federal navigation channel. On March 29, 2010,
the Village of Bald Head Island and Norfolk Dredging received Notices of Violation for unauthorized
pipeline trenching across the BHI Shoal Channel. Restoration was not required as the material was
determined to be beach compatible at that time. The current project may require impacting the same
location in an area measuring approximately 1500 ft. long by 250 ft. wide area (300,000 sq. ft.) (see
Sheet 6 of 7). If deemed necessary, the pipeline would be placed below the authorized channel depth
of -44 and the resulting "disposal "material would be deposited on south beach. No current sand criteria
has been submitted for this crossing, the applicant states that the material consists of previously
documented beach compatible sediment.
The proposed beach fill project would have an excavated volume of up to lmillion cubic yards of
material placed for the current event. According to the applicant, the proposed limits of the beach fill
template on South Beach extends approximately 9,100 linear ft. beginning east of the terminal groin
at Station 45+07 and terminating at Station 134+00 with a 200 ft. taper to existing grade (see Sheet 2
of 7). The application states that the maximum width of the fill template is 400 ft. with a 200 ft.
maximum distance waterward of Normal High Water (NHW). The fill template is within the federal
template on South Beach, which has been the recipient of multiple projects associated with the
Wilmington Harbor navigation project (beginning in 2000). The applicant states that the beach
construction berm will maintain an 8ft. elevation in order to be consistent with prior USACE disposal
events. The beach profile would have an average beach fill density of 100 cubic yards per linear ft.
over the length of the entire 9,100 disposal template area (see Sheet 3 of 7). According to the
applicant, the proposed fill area will be continually utilized for future navigation maintenance events
by the USACE and for terminal groin updrift fillet maintenance events by the Village of Bald Head
Island. Please note that Adjacent Property owner notification receipts have not been received by this
office at the time of processing.

10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The proposed excavation of the Jay Bird Shoals Borrow site could result in the excavation of
approximately 5,532,000 sq. ft. of Public Trust Area and Estuarine Waters with a possible
additional 300,000 sq. ft. from the potential channel crossing. The subsequent beach disposal
would result in the filling of approximately 1,820,000 sq. ft. of unvegetated beach above MHW
and approximately 1,820,000 sq. ft. of area below MEW. The proposed borrow area and
associated "crossing" contains the potential for excavation of up to 134 acres of Public Trust
Area and Estuarine Waters. Minor increases in turbidity should be expected during construction.

ATTACHMENT B
PROJECT NARRATIVE (CAMA 91-14)
BACKGROUND FOR THE REQUEST FOR PERMIT MODIFICATION
VBHI annual Monitoring Report No. 15 (Olsen 2017) documented that between April
2016 and May 2017, South Beach at Bald Head Island lost a total of 619,000 cy (above elevation
-16 ft NGVD). This amount well exceeded average annual losses measured over the last 17
years and was principally due to the effects of Hurricanes Hermine and Matthew in 2016. As a
result, the Village Council has authorized the design and permitting of the 1 Mcy interim beach
fill discussed above to be constructed in the fall/winter of 2018/19 — at the latest.
Recently, formal permit applications for the development of a long-term borrow site
within Frying Pan Shoals were being processed. Those applications requested a major
modification of State Permit No. 91-4 and federal permit SAW -2012-00040 — which were issued
for both the terminal groin constructed in 2015 and subsequent fill activities required to keep the
structure updrift fillet full pursuant to N.C. Statutory requirements. On both 27 July 2017 and 2
October 2017 that Application was formally withdrawn by LMG — as Permit Agent.
In June 2017, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) issued concerns related to
the near term use of the Frying Pan Shoals (FPS) borrow site without first exploring and
exhausting other viable sand -source alternatives. Realistically, the only alternate borrow area
available for near term sand placement at Bald Head Island (BHI) is sand remaining in the
previously permitted JBS borrow site. Accordingly, in consideration of the NMFS request, the
Village has agreed to prioritize the use of the previously authorized borrow site permitted at Jay
Bird Shoals (JBS) (including both the partially recovered area dredged in 2009/10 and the
remaining undredged portion of the borrow site). Options other than JBS and FPS are not
feasible at this time. For instance, there is not sufficient sand volume within the two Bald Head
Creek borrow area(s). Moreover, only a very small dredge can be utilized at that location.
Therefore, the Bald Head Creek site is not suitable for any large-scale nourishment event at S.
Beach. With respect to the Wilmington Harbor Channel as a potential sand source, all sand to be
-1-

DCM WILMINGTON, NC
excavated by the Corps of Engineers (COE) in 2017/18 as part of their regularly occurring
channel maintenance program will be placed on Oak Island pursuant to the terms of the
Wilmington Harbor Sand Management Plan (WHSMP). Hence, there will not be sufficient sand
quantities from that source available to the Village in the near future for placement at South
Beach. It is estimated that the next federal beach disposal operation at BHI will not be until
2020/21.
Within the originally developed JBS borrow site, the most recent monitoring surveys
(Olsen 2017) document that there is an estimated 963,000 of sand remaining in the undredged
portion of the site — lying outside a Cultural Resource Exclusion area. Additionally, there is
almost a similar volume of depositional material which lies within the area previously excavated
in 2009 — although not all of it is operationally accessible by a dredge. The predicted volume
required to be placed within a design template on South Beach in 2018/19 is approximately 1
Mcy.
The one time use of the previously permitted JBS borrow site (if viable in terms of both
sand quality and quantity) would address the more immediate nourishment needs for South
Beach and the terminal groin fillet. It should be noted that a long-term borrow site consisting of
large volumes of beach -compatible sand (from a borrow site exhibiting physical conditions
conducive for relatively rapid recovery) will ultimately be needed to offset long-term sand
deficits along South Beach and West Beach. To that end, the Village intends to reinitiate permits
needed for the future use of the proposed FPS borrow site. In the interim, use of the JBS site will
likely be able to address the more immediate nourishment needs while deferring and ultimately
reducing the near-term physical disturbance to the FPS site — pursuant to the request of the
NMFS.
BORROW SITE FORMULATION
The original 226 Acre JPS borrow area as developed for the locally constructed 2009/10
beach fill was defined by approximately 31 VIBRACORES (see Figure 1). To a design depth of
-24 NGVD 29, the site contained approximately 3 Mcy of available beach quality sand — not

including a 12.5 A Exclusion Area associated with potential cultural resources (TAR 2007).
Over the course of the 2009 project, approximately 158 A of seabed within the permitted borrow
site were dredged (see Figure 2) yielding a gross fill volume of about 1.85 Mcy. As shown in
Figure 3, the dredge contractor was strategically limited to working only within Borrow Site
Sub -Areas 1 and 2, thereby intentionally leaving Area 3 for future use. The residual volume of
available sand within Area 3 after construction exceeded 1 Mcy. The 2009/10 project was
constructed by Norfolk Dredging Company using an Ocean Certified 27" cutter suction dredge.
During the permitting of the JBS borrow area, Olsen Associates, Inc. performed
numerical modeling of a theoretically excavated borrow site for purposes of evaluating any
potential impacts to the shores of Oak Island (Olsen 2007b). In addition, during the permitting
of the 2015 terminal groin project, a separate and distinct borrow site impact analysis was
performed using the more robust DELFT 3D numerical model (Olsen 2013). Both modeling
investigations conservatively assumed the JBS borrow site was theoretically excavated in its
entirety (as well as the Cultural Resource Exclusion Area) — when in reality the site was only
2/3`ds excavated. Neither in-depth numerical modeling study predicted quantifiable impacts to
Oak Island.
None -the -less, when Permits for the terminal groin were issued by State and Federal
agencies in 2014, a Condition was added at the request of certain interests on Oak Island that
should the permittee receive a future permit modification to dredge more than 250,000 cy of
material from the JBS borrow site (presumably from the remaining unexcavated Area 3), the
Village would be required to monitor and analyze a large segment of eastern Oak Island for
potential project impacts. At the time of permit issuance, severe time constraints associated with
the bid and construction schedule for the terminal groin necessitated that the Village not seek to
challenge such a Condition. The Village is now requesting a permit modification authorizing
the one time dredging of approximately 1 Mcy of sand from the JBS borrow site originally
permitted based upon the following considerations:
1. It potentially defers the use of the FPS borrow site over the next several years (possibly
up to a decade into the future) pursuant to the recommendations of the NMFS.
r:ECEjVED
OCM WILMI14GTON, NC
2. It meets the intent of the original terminal groin Permit Condition which identified Jay
Bird Shoals as a potential alternate borrow area suitable for future use, and
3. It addresses the requirement stipulated by both Permit Condition and State Statute for the
Village as Sponsor of the 2015 terminal groin project to keep the updrift fillet of the
structure full.
JBS BORROW AREA RE-EVALUATION
The developed JBS borrow site in its entirety has been surveyed by the Village every 1 to
2 years subsequent to its use in 2009/10. The April 2017 monitoring survey shows areas of gross
deposition amounting to 891,000 cy. It is therefore possible to dredge borrow site Area 3 to
construct a 1M cy beach fill if supplemented by depositional material from within borrow site
Areas 1 and 2. That is to say, the configuration of the Cultural Resource Exclusion Area may
preclude the dredging of 1 Mcy of material from Area 3 alone. As a result, the Contractor would
be allowed to redredge portions of Area 1 and 2 which have shoaled.
For purposes of this permit modification, the Village recently authorized for the rapid
acquisition of 8 VIBRACORES within the largest candidate depositional area in order to verify
sediment quality or acceptability as beach fill at South Beach (see Figure 4). All depositional
material encountered was classified as SP and found to be beach compatible pursuant to criteria
established by the State of N.C. All geotechnical results are presented in the report entitled,
"Bald Head Island, N.C. Jay Bird Shoals Borrow Site Re-evaluation" dated August 2017.
SUMMARY
In summary, the Village of Bald Head Island is requesting a modification of CAMA 91-4
and USACE No. SAW -2012-00040 sufficient to dredge portions of the previously permitted
borrow site located at Jay Bird Shoals. A contract will be formulated whereby most material
would be dredged from Area 3 of the site which was not designated for excavation in 2009/10.

An additional volume (as necessary) would be excavated from material deposited within a
portion of Area 2 of the JBS borrow site which were previously dredged. A "dredge plan"
defining the area of work is included as Figure 5. It should be noted that not all material in
Areas 3 may be physically accessible by a large ocean certified dredge. Hence, the request to
have access to a portion of the depositional material within Area 2, as necessary. All sand would
be placed on S. Beach from the terminal groin eastward approximately 9,000 ft. The proposed
timing of the work would be between 1 November 2018 and 1 April 2019, unless storm impacts
and emergency conditions dictate otherwise. Work would be performed by an ocean certified
cutter suction dredge with direct deposit on S. Beach by pipeline. Where the submerged pipeline
crosses the federal navigation project, it would need to be placed below the authorized channel
depth of -44ft. MLW. Any such material excavated to trench the pipeline below the channel
would be placed on S. Beach — as was done for the 2009 project.
The sediments within the original Jay Bird Shoal borrow site limits (Areas 1, 2 and 3)
were originally determined to be beach compatible by way of a comprehensive Sand Search
(Olsen, 2007a) performed prior to the 2009 locally constructed beach restoration project. A
Cultural Resource Exclusion Zone totaling 12.5 A was required at the time. With further field
investigations, the spatial limits of that Zone may be subject to reduction prior to the initiation of
construction. Such an evaluation by Tidewater Atlantic Research, Inc. (TAR) has been
authorized by the Village.
Depositional sediments in Area 2 which will be subject to re -excavation during a beach
fill project in the winter of 2018-2019 were evaluated through the acquisition of eight (8)
additional VIBRACORES in July of 2017 by the firm of Athena Technologies, Inc. Subsequent
laboratory analyses of composite samples over the assumed depth of excavation — were
performed and reported.

The design depth for the proposed borrow site excavation will be to -22 ft NGVD29 (+2 ft
tolerance). The resultant potential maximum depth of excavation will therefore be -24 ft.
NGVD29. All composite sample sediments over depth meet State Standards for placement as
beach fill on South Beach at Bald Head Island. The proposed limit of fill would extend from the
western side of the terminal groin to baseline Sta. 134+00 located approximately 9,000 ft.
eastward thereof — as addressed by the original 2014 terminal groin permits discussed herein.
Post -construction monitoring of the JBS borrow site would be performed annually for 3
years and thenceforth every other year. Borrow site recovery would be discussed (as currently
done) in each VBHI annual Islandwide Monitoring Report.
The Village will initiate the formation of a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)
pursuant to Permit Condition 22 of State Permit 91-14. The Village will likewise coordinate
directly with local interests on Oak Island.

Item No.
1. Channel Crossing - No such sampling data was required in 09/10 for purposes of creating
a channel crossing required for the VBHI 1.5 Mcy beach renourishment project. All
material is within the limits of a federal navigation project and has been excavated and
placed on Bald Head Island and Oak Island every two to three years since 2000. In
09/10, the material excavated for a pipeline crossing was visually determined to be of
beach quality. Any material derived from the channel crossing is a byproduct of the
dredge contract and should not be construed as "borrow material," but rather "disposal
material" consisting of previously documented beach compatible sediment.
2. Borrow Site Location
Latitude 350 51' 45.2"N
Longitude 78° 1' 50.3"W
3. The project borrow site (maximum area potentially excavated) is 127 A. Area 2 is 62.62
A. Area 3 is 64.38 A. (cut areas only).
The design borrow site depth is -22 ft. NGVD29. A 2 ft. tolerance is allowed. Similar to
the 2009/10 project, the maximum dredge depth would be to -24 NGVD (ref. Permit
Sheet 7 of 7 as revised).
The linear feet of sand placement on South Beach is 9,100 ft., mol.
4. Proof of adjacent property owner notification - to be provided by LMG. These have

7. The fill template will extend from baseline Sta. 45+07 to Sta. 134+00, mol (see Permit
Sheet 2 of 7). A 200 ft. taper to existing grade will be allowed on the east end, i.e. to Sta.
136+00, mol.
8. All excavated material associated with the proposed activities will be placed on, or
seaward of State owned lands.
9. The proposed fill area will be continually utilized for the future placement of navigation
channel maintenance material by the Wilmington District, USACOE as provided for in
the Wilmington Harbor Sand Management Plan. It will likewise be utilized by the
Village in the future for the maintenance of the terminal groin updrift fillet as required by
State Law and Permit.
10. The number cited in MP -2 is correct (i.e. 9,100 ft. x 200 ft.).
Please note that 1 Mcy = 27M cubic feet.
11. The Jay Bird Shoals Borrow Site Re -Evaluation Report (DVD) is attached. Please ignore
any discussion therein whereby limiting excavation to 250,000 cy within borrow area no.
3 would potentially obviate the requirement to monitor the east end of Oak Island. An
informal discussion with Doug Huggett in this regard indicated that the State would at
this time opine otherwise. As a result, the Dredge Plan reflected by the current permit
application seeks to dredge all (or most of Area 3) and supplement that volume with the
