UNC Coastal Studies Institute offshore oyster reef breakwater: project narrative
The UNC Coastal Studies Institute, in partnership with The Nature Conservancy, is proposing to
construct multiple oyster reef breakwaters (1,000 linear feet in total) along a high-energy estuarine
shoreline to (i) attenuate wave energy and reduce rates of erosion, (ii) create conditions under which
new shallow -water habitat can become established, and (iii) restore native oyster habitat. NEPA
approval for this project is being sought through The Nature Conservancy's partnership with the North
Carolina Coastal Federation under a grant agreement with the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric
Administration (NAI6NMF4630009).
Oyster reef breakwater
The oyster reef breakwaters will be configured along the 4 -foot depth contour at an average distance of
140 feet waterward of NWL. The breakwaters will be constructed in individual 100 -foot segments (20
feet wide; 4.5 feet tall) with a 10 -foot spacing between adjacent segments. There will be a marker along
the breakwater every 50 feet, with a yellow reflective marker 3 feet above mean high water, though the
project area is not subject to boat traffic (i.e. limited navigability). Construction of all offshore oyster
reef breakwaters will be conducted using a shallow water barge. Class C riprap limestone rock, which
has been successfully deployed as oyster reef breakwaters at several locations in Croatan Sound, will be
used to construct the breakwaters. Boring sponge is not a concern for this area as salinities range
between 10-15 PSU.
It is anticipated that the relief and structural complexity of these reefs will baffle wave energy and storm
surges, thus reducing shoreline erosion potential. In addition, the natural communities that most
certainly will develop on these structures will provide valuable human ecosystem services, including
improvement of water quality while also functioning as exceptional habitat for numerous fishes and
invertebrates. These structures will also provide researchers at the UNC Coastal Studies Institute with
the ability to use the project as a high visibility demonstration site with abundant research opportunities.
Shoreline Processes
An increased frequency and severity of storm and wind events coupled with accelerating sea level rise
has hastened erosion along the shoreline of the UNC Coastal Studies Institute facility in Wanchese, NC
to levels of concern. For example, shoreline erosion along the Skyco Tract on the northern end of the
UNC CSI property has been calculated to be between 2 and 12 feet per year based upon analysis of
historical and current aerial photography. We have digitized historic shorelines from 1974, 2007 and
2016 for perspective of the erosional processes (Figure 1). Note the high erosion occurring in the
middle of the study area (i.e., mid transect).

Bottom Type and Proposed Depth
The project depth (4 ft) was selected based on the preferred bottom type and gradient for project
performance. The marsh shoreline is eroding quickly along this land tract (see above narrative) leaving
much of the nearshore bottom organic -rich, soft peaty sediments (Figure 24, sediments collected:5 3ft).
These sediments are not conducive to the weight of the marl to be added to the bottom. Construction
would likely lead to significant bottom subsidence, requiring more material and altering the bottom
significantly. Our preference is to move further from shore where the bottom sediments transition to
fine sand (Figure 2-4; transition occurs around 4ft depth). In addition to placing the breakwater on
sandy sediments, we would prefer to avoid placing the material on any significant grade. Although the
sediments along the Mid -transect in 3 ft of water are primarily fine sand (Note: some peaty sediments
were noted nearby), the bottom is at a steeper grade at this depth and flattens (less gradient) at —oft
(Figure 3). The 4 ft contour seems to provide the best sediment type in the area, as well as a flat bottom
(i.e., low grade).

The most recent SAV data released and freely available is an APNEP data set collected during
2008 (based on aerial imagery). Although APNEP has followed up with a 2012-2014 dataset, that data
is not currently publicly available. The 2007-2008 data set shows no SAV present off of UNC CSI's
property (Figure 5). Since this data is almost a decade old, we also attempted to collect SAV samples
along three shore -normal transects. At four locations across three transects, a "diver" went to the bottom
and searched for SAV for collection. In addition, a rake was drug along several sections of each transect
to try and catch any SAV in the area (Figure 2-4). There was no SAV collected/observed at any location
across the proposed study area or y either method of collection.

north of our study area and would not be impacted by installation of the breakwater. No SAV
was present in subsequent sampling within the study area.

Project Setting
The proposed development site is a 20,000 -square foot open water area of the Croatan Sound
located 1,400 feet west of the UNC Coastal Studies Institute (CSI) campus, 850 NC Hwy 345,
Wanchese, Dare County. The development site has a bottom that consists of fine sand and
has water depths that range from -3 feet to -4 feet.
The CSI property adjacent to the project site has a 14,264 -foot shoreline Coastal Wetland
marsh area that ranges from 500 feet to 1000 feet in width. The area is vegetated with Black
needlerush (Juncus roemerianus), Salt meadow cordgrass (Spartina patens), Common reed
(Phragmites australis), Wax myrtle (Morella cerifera), Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), Red cedar
(Juniperus virginiana), Live oak (Quercus virginiana) and Gum tree, and has an elevation that
ranges from 0' at NWL to +9'. The upland area has been developed as a university campus
with buildings and infrastructure. The adjacent riparian property to the south is a tract of salt
marsh; the adjacent riparian properties to the north/northeast are private residences.
The waters of the Croatan Sound in this area are classified as SA and HQW by the Division of
Environmental Management and are open to shellfish taking. The descriptive boundary for the
project area is designated as Coastal Waters and is in the Pasquotank River Basin.
A scoping meeting was held at the Washington Regional Office on October 3, 2017 to review
this proposal. Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) data from a 2007-2008 APNEP data set
showed that there were no SAV present in the study area. CSI staff conducted another SAV
surrey on October 4, 2017 to reconfirm that there were no SAV in that area.
There are no National Register Eligible or Listed Archaeological Sites within the project's area.
Development Proposal
The UNC Coastal Studies Institute, in partnership with The Nature Conservancy, proposes to
construct ten (10) oyster reef breakwaters. The purpose of the breakwaters is to attenuate
wave energy and reduce rates of erosion, create conditions so that shallow -water habitat will be
established, and restore native oyster habitat. The breakwaters will be configured west of a
coastal wetland shoreline. The placement of the breakwaters will be in the -4' water depth
contour at an average distance of 130' waterward of NWL with a maximum distance of 150' of
NWL. The project depth was chosen based on the preferred bottom type and gradient for
project performance. The erosion of the marsh shoreline along the land tract has resulted in
organic -rich, soft peaty sediments, which are not favorable for the weight of the stone to be
added to the bottom. The applicant has noted their preference is to move the oyster reef
breakwaters/sills further from shore where the bottom sediments transition to fine sand.
Sediment samples are noted in pages 4, 5, and 6 of the project narrative.

Page 3
Each sill will be 100' long, 20' wide, and 4.5' tall, with a 10' separation between adjacent
segments, measured at the base of the sills. The proposed height above NWL for each sill is
.5'. The total linear footage of the breakwaters will be 1000' linear feet. A shallow water barge
distributing class C riprap limestone rock will be used for the construction of the oyster reef
breakwaters. The staging area will be next to the bulkheaded shoreline at the back/right side of
CSI's research building. Navigational aids consisting of yellow markers placed 3' above mean
high water will be installed every 50' of the sills.
Anticipated Impacts
Construction of the oyster reef breakwaters/sills will result in the filling of 20,000 square feet of
Estuarine Waters/Public Trust Areas. Increased turbidity will occur at the project site on a
temporary basis.
