Re: Rich Inlet Maintenance Dredging
Figure "8" Island, North End Beach Disposal
DENR Permit #6-01 Minor Modification
Dear Ms. Snyder:
10BA
ENGINEERS * SURVE'tOPS
Based on your comments from the January 29, 20009 meeting and our recent discussion with Mr. David
Kellam, we would like to submit a request for a minor modification to Permit #6-01.
Based on our current design, the beach disposal limits have increased by 2,500 linear feet, when
compared to the limits authorized by Permit #6-01. Increasing the linear feet of the proposed beach
disposal area from 9,000 feet to 11,500 feet.
We have included an updated project narrative, as well as current and previous drawings. Please note
we did not include the entire packet of permit drawings, as no alterations have occurred, since they were
originally submitted November 4, 2008.
Please contact Mr. Paul Pascarosa or Mr. Chris Gibson, should there be any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
GAHAGAN."& BR'YANT-ASSOQATES, INC.

Rich Inlet (Nixon Channel)
Channel Maintenance
Permit #6-01 Minor Modification
Background
Rich Inlet is located at the north end of Figure "8" Island. Access to the Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway, via Rich Inlet, is achieved by navigating through Nixon Channel.
Nixon Channel regularly experiences shoaling and channel migration, due to the naturally
occurring hydrodynamics of the inlet/channel system. Several permits have been issued
in the past in order to maintain the safe passage of marine vessels through Nixon
Channel. Each of following permits authorized the dredging of Nixon Channel and
spoil placement along the north end beach of Figure "8" Island:
• CAMA Permit # 89-83 (April 4, 1984)
• CAMA Permit #21-93 (January 20, 1988)
• CAMA Permit # 6-01 (January 19, 2001, renewed September 24, 2004)
Each of the above referenced permits have placed the beach quality sand excavated from
Nixon Channel on the north end of Figure "8" Island. The beach nourishment efforts in
the years 2000 and 2004 extend from the north end to approximately 246 North Beach
Road, with a total length of 9,000 linear feet. Our current drawings (October 2008)
depict the limits of beach fill extending to 200 North Beach Road, with a total length of
11,500 feet. Thus extending the proposed beach fill area an additional 2,500 feet.
Based on CAMA Permit # 12-99, authorized beach nourishment activity extended from
Mason Inlet up to 250 North Beach Road. Which included the additional 2,500 feet of
shoreline we are proposing to incorporate into the Permit 6-01 minor modification. See
the illustration below:
For illustration purposes only, not intended for engineering, construction, or field use.
Purpose
The overall purpose of the proposed activity is to provide safe passage of marine vessels
through Nixon Channel. The permitted design depth of Nixon Channel is 9 -ft below
mean low water (MLW). The channel has shoaled in significantly, and an intertidal sand

bar has formed within the eastern portion of the channel. The proposed maintenance
dredging and spoil area is within the same previously permitted project limits.
Additionally, Hurricane Hannah and the September 20, 2008 nor -easter caused
significant beach erosion along Figure "8" Island, specifically in the proposed spoil area.
Therefore, the placement of beach quality sand in the spoil area will provide well need
material to an eroded beach (see drawings).
Project Description
Approximately 297,000 cubic yards (cy) of beach grade sand is expected to be removed
from the excavation area, which is 100,000 cy less than the previous maintenance
activity. The design channel depth does not exceed 9.0 feet below Mean Low Water
(MLW). The sand within the permitted excavation area will be removed via hydraulic
dredge, and discharged by an extended 24" pipe. It is expected that 7,000 — 12,000 cy of
sand will be discharged per day, and the disposal volumes will be approximately 27 cy/ft.
The entire disposal area will span 9,000 linear feet, from the north end of Figure "8"
Island southward to 200 Beach Road North.
The timeframe of construction will be between 35 — 50 days, and is currently in progress.
The role of GBA, Inc. will be to monitor all construction activity and ensure the project
remains in compliance with Permit # 6-01.
Based on past permits and beach fill activity the proposed modification to this permit
should have no adverse affects to the Figure "8" Island shoreline or surrounding
environment. Furthermore, it is within the area previously authorized under Permit 12-
99.
