8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The Town of Oak Island proposes to obtain state authorization to continue
federal navigation maintenance dredging in Lockwoods Folly Inlet and the AIWW crossing (Tangent 11)
including near -shore disposal and associated beneficial placement (including USACE and locally authorized
beach template disposal areas) on approximately 46,000 linear feet of the Oak Island oceanfront.
9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project site includes Lockwoods Folly Inlet, AIWW crossing Tangent 11, the USACE beneficial placement
template areas on the oceanfront section of Oak Island, including an adjacent near shore disposal location,
and the western oceanfront shoreline of Oak Island authorized under State Permit No. 21-15. (Figure 2). The
defined disposal area for this project begins at Parcel ID 233OA02402 (Western Beach Access) and ends at
Parcel ID 250EA00102 (McGlamery Street).
The proposed beneficial placement area is the oceanfront beach of Oak Island. To find the project site, travel
south on US Highway 17 from Wilmington to NC Highway 906 just past Bolivia. Turn left on NC 906 and travel
approximately 10.6 miles to Oak Island. Oak Island is flanked on the east end by Caswell Beach and the Cape
Fear River and Lockwoods Folly Inlet on the west end. The island is adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean with the
Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) separating the island from the mainland. The island is developed and
is mostly residential. The high ground portion of the oceanfront beach is vegetated primarily with American
Beach Grass (Ammophila breviligulata) and Sea Oats (Uniola paniculata).
Historically, (USACE) has maintained Lockwoods Folly Inlet as a marked navigation channel, providing
commercial and recreational access to the Atlantic Ocean. Over the years, and with adequate funding, the
USACE has been able to maintain the federal channel with their side -cast dredge fleet. Traditionally, they have
maintained a depth of -12 ft. plus -2 ft. overcut in the AIWW Crossing and -18 ft. plus -2ft. overcut at the Inlet
using the side -cast dredge. The last maintenance event was authorized in 2006 and material was placed on
Holden Beach via pipeline. Periodic maintenance has become less frequent due to budget constraints, the
shallow depth of the inlet and the amount of material that's held in the inlet system by the side -cast operations.
In the event the USACE is not capable of maintaining the inlet, the Town of Oak Island would like to obtain
approval to perform the navigation maintenance work and utilize the material for beneficial placement.
The Lockwoods Folly Inlet and AIWW navigation maintenance areas (from where the sand is being removed)
are located along the western and northwestern sides of Oak Island (see Figures 3.1-3.5). Lockwood Folly Inlet
is located between Holden Beach and Oak Island. The project disposal site encompasses approximately 8.7
miles of oceanfront beach, including a section of beach the USACE has historically used for dredge material
disposal from the Wilmington Harbor Project, the Sea Turtle Habitat Restoration Project, and a 3,148 ft.
template area authorized under State Permit No. 21-15, which extends to 60th Place West. The applicant has
provided the USACE template for the 2000 Sea Turtle Consistency Project (see Attachment 3.7) which
indicates that the approximate elevation of the tract above NHW was + 8 ft. NGVD at the top of berm at that
time. The applicant has provided documentation of the Wilmington Harbor USACE template (see Attachment
3.8) which has a berm elevation set at +6 ft. NAVD88 throughout the project and varied berm widths.
The Town of Oak Island was issued CAMA Major/ Dredge and Fill Permit #21-15 on February 13, 2015 for the
dredging of 278,950 cubic yards of material from Eastern Channel and placement of beach -compatible
material on the west end of Oak Island. This permit which was refined on March 2, 2015 for beneficial
placement on 3,148 linear ft. of oceanfront shoreline extending from the driving beach access just west of 69th
place West to 601 place West. The average fill placement density was authorized to 72 cy/ft. along the entire
length of the project area with an average beach fill width of 375 ft. and an average berm width of 125 ft. The
berm was proposed at an elevation of +7 ft. NAVD88, but increased to +10 ft. NAVD88 at 6615-6623 W. Beach

Drive due to existing sandbags authorized on May 21, 2014 to protect threatened structures. Work was
completed in the Spring of 2015 and the permit is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2018. The 8,200 ft.
long nearshore disposal area is directly adjacent to Oak Island (Figure 2).
The application does not discuss CAMA Minor Permit No. OI 17-11, which was issued on March 8, 2017 for
dune creation on the oceanfront beach due to erosion from Hurricane Matthew. There has been concern
regarding the compatibility of the material utilized to create the dunes. Figure 1 from the Post -Matthew
Emergency Dune Restoration Project Post -Construction Draft Monitoring Plan outlines the areas where dunes
were created on the oceanfront beach (Enclosed with Bio Report as Attachment B).
The entire project disposal site is adjacent to residential and commercial properties as well as infrastructure for
the Town. The long term annual erosion rate for the Town of Oak Island is 2 ft./year, per the Division of
Coastal Management's 2011 Annual Erosion Rate maps. The Ocean Hazard AEC extends 180 ft. in the
Project Area.
The application includes a Cultural Resource Assessment that was submitted for the original SDI -5 projects in
2015 (See Attachment 5.1 and Appendix A coordination letters). The applicant states that impacts to
cultural resources in the Lockwoods Folly Inlet Project Area are not anticipated and any identified shipwrecks
will be avoided. The application also includes a Sediment Evaluation (Attachment 5.2), an expanded
Biological Assessment, which includes regulatory correspondence from the original SDI -5 review, (Attachment
5.3), Essential Fish Habitat Summary (Attachment 5.4) and Recommended Conservation Measures
(Attachment 6).
The Town of Oak Island Land Use Plan does not have the dry sand beach classified; however, the upland
areas of this project are classified as Developed. The waters of the project site are classified as SA by the NC
Division of Water Resources. The NC Division of Marine Fisheries has NOT designated this area as a Primary
Nursery Area (PNA), and the waters are OPEN to the harvesting of shellfish.
10. PROPOSED PROJECT:
The Town of Oak Island proposes to obtain state authorization to continue federal navigation maintenance
dredging of Lockwoods Folly Inlet and the AIWW crossing (Tangent 11) including near -shore disposal and
associated beneficial placement (including USACE and locally authorized beach template disposal areas)' on
approximately 46,000 linear feet of the Oak Island oceanfront. In 2015 local stakeholders applied to conduct
maintenance dredging for navigation for five Shallow Draft Inlets, including the Lockwoods Folly Inlet. The
Town of Oak Island would like to obtain an additional permit for maintenance dredging of the Lockwoods Folly
Inlet and associated AIWW crossing in addition to the permit that was issued -to the Town of Holden Beach on
May 5, 2016 (State Permit No. 52-16). The County of Brunswick submitted a letter to this office on August 20,
2018 on behalf of the Town of Oak Island supporting this project proposal (Enclosed with Bio Report as
Attachment A).
The application states that the Town of Oak Island currently shares financial responsibility with the Town of
Holden Beach and Brunswick County for USACE approved maintenance dredging and would coordinate with
these partners to avoid duplication with future maintenance efforts. Ongoing federal navigation maintenance
dredging programs at the inlets and AIWW crossings have been authorized and conducted since at least 1982.
Should the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) be unable to perform the program, the Town of Oak Island
seeks additional authorization to continue year-round navigation maintenance in the inlet and AIWW crossing,
which is critical to local commerce and recreation. The application states that maintenance dredging at each
inlet would mimic the ongoing, approved (USACE) maintenance dredging program for each area, which
includes the AIWW crossings, connecting channels and the inlet throats throughout currently authorized inlet
linear distances beyond the COLREGS line (see Narrative).

Town of Oak Island (Lockwoods Folly Inlet)

According to the application, the navigation maintenance dredging project area depths and dimensions will
mimic the federally authorized project for Lockwoods Folly Inlet and AIWW Crossing Tangent 11 (see MP -2,
Figure 2 and Attachment 3). Please note that the proposed maintenance project dredging template has
been reduced to mimic the USACE template (Figure 2 and Attachment 3.2). The proposed template for
beneficial placement on Oak Island includes both USACE placement template areas for the Wilmington Harbor
Project and the Federal Consistency Turtle Project, the beach template authorized under State Permit No. 21-
15 and a near -shore disposal area (Figure 2). The application states that non -beach compatible material will be
placed in USACE Disposal Area 0268 and any work proposed during the moratoriums will be done utilizing
dredges capable of nearshore or side -cast disposal.
The proposed Lockwoods Folly Inlet navigation maintenance dredging would occur within an area measuring
approximately 4,100 ft. in length by 150 ft. in width to a maximum depth of -12 ft. at MLW (plus -2 ft. overcut)
and the AIWW crossing navigation maintenance dredging would occur within an area measuring approximately
7,700 ft. in length by 90 ft. in width (along with an authorized 400 ft. widener along this stretch of the AIWW
(see MP -2 D) to a maximum depth of -12 ft. at MLW (plus -2 ft. overcut). Although the authorized depths within
the Lockwoods Folly Inlet are -12. Ft. at MLW plus -2 ft. overcut, the USACE has maintained the Lockwoods
Folly Inlet Area to a maximum depth of —8 ft. at MLW (plus -2 ft. overcut). The application states that
these proposed depths mimic the federally authorized depths within these areas and those authorized under
the Town of Holden Beach SDI -5 project (see MP -2 Excavation and Fill Form). According to the application,
typical AIWW crossing maintenance in this area excavates approximately 100,000 cubic yards and the typical
Lockwoods Folly Inlet maintenance excavates approximately 65,000 cubic yards during each maintenance
event.
According to the applicant the authorized template for the oceanfront area includes an average berm width of
75-150 ft. at an elevation of +6 ft. NAVD88 and a natural slope to existing grade. The USACE template has a
berm elevation set to +6 ft. NAVD88 (see Attachment 3.8). The application does not state an average fill
placement density along the project area or provide current dune crest elevations. The application does state
that the length of beneficial placement for each event will be based on the volume of dredged material, but will
typically be about 2,800 linear ft. Easements for the beneficial placement locations have been previously
acquired by the Town of Oak Island and are on file with the Town. Please note that the USACE is currently
in consistency review to place material from Tangent 11 on the Oak Island Beachfront
The proposed adjacent near -shore disposal location template is located adjacent to Oak Island, in an area
measuring approximately 8,200 ft. in length at variable widths and depths. According to the applicant this area
is within the previously authorized USACE disposal template (see Figure 2). According to the applicant
USACE has easements on file for the 21.5 acre Upland Disposal site (AIWW DA 0268) which would be used
for incompatible material. The application states that the applicant will obtain a consent agreement from the
USACE Real Estate Office prior to beginning construction.
The application states that sediment characterization data was obtained for Lockwoods Folly Inlet and the
AIWW crossing from five sampling events conducted between 1998 and 2014 (see Attachment 5.2). The
sediment evaluation indicates that, based on vibracore data, the majority of material being removed from
Lockwoods Folly Inlet would be compatible with the native beach. In the event that unsuitable (non -beach
quality) material is encountered, the upland disposal site will be utilized.
The application states that temporary in-situ sand berms will be used during beach placement to facilitate
settlement and retention of sand on the beach which would allow the sandy material to settle out before the
water re-enters the ocean. The Town proposes to continue the USACE's use of least cost method of disposal
selecting from currently approved dredge material management locations, including shoreline beneficial
placement, near -shore placement and/or upland confined disposal. (See Project Narrative).
For dredging with beneficial placement, a cutterhead hydraulic dredge and pipeline, bulldozers, front end
loaders and other earth moving machinery would be used. If beneficial placement is not included in a

Town of Oak Island (Lockwoods Folly Inlet)
Page Five
navigation maintenance event other types of dredges will be considered (See MP -2 Excavation and Fill 5b).
According to the applicant the entire project would follow the precise template of federally authorized projects
except for the beach placement template authorized under State_ Permit No. 21-15.
Conservation measures are suggested to meet the environmental window of November 16 -April 30 for
implementation of routine dredging activities to federally -authorized depths to the maximum extent possible,
however the applicant also mentions dredge/beneficial placement activity outside of the environmental window
when navigational needs necessitate inlet and crossing maintenance operations (see Narrative and
Attachment 6).
In summary, the proposed beneficial placement associated with navigation maintenance dredging activities
would remain within the Town limits except for a near shore disposal location proposed adjacent to Oak Island.
According to the applicant, all navigation maintenance excavation is.consistent with federal projects thereby
not exceeding the depth and width of the federal channel. As proposed, the entire project would overlap
previously impacted areas along the oceanfront as well as previously dredged areas within Lockwoods Folly
Inlet and the AIWW Crossing.
11. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The proposed navigation maintenance dredging volumes are typically 65,000 yd' within Lockwoods Folly Inlet
and 100,000 yd within the AIWW Crossing. According to the applicant, fill densities will be event specific. The
beneficial placement portion of the project would disturb a maximum of approximately 6,900,000 sq. ft. of
oceanfront beach impacting areas below and above Mean High Water as a result of the nourishment activities.
The proposed near -shore placement area is 8,200 ft. in length adjacent to Oak Island at variable widths and
depths. Placement of sand on the beach would result in temporary mortality for intertidal micro fauna such as
crabs and worms. Placement of material below the MHW boundary would result in temporary turbidity within
the nearshore waters of the Atlantic Ocean; potentially affecting fish and aquatic life in the project area at the
time. Limiting the work to the winter season should reduce potential adverse impacts to fish communities.
There may be some impact to sea turtle nesting as a result of this project and there has been concern
regarding the compatibility of the material utilized to create the dunes during the 2017 Dune Restoration
Project. The Town is currently coordinating with US Fish and Wildlife to monitor potential impacts from
placement of non -compatible material during that project. Beach compaction should be monitored and tilling
should be required to reduce the likelihood of impacting sea turtle nesting and hatching activities. Public use of
the beach during the beach fill process would be limited to some degree. The project would serve to provide
authorization for the Town of Oak Island to continue the federal navigation maintenance dredging program at
Lockwoods Folly Inlet and AIWW crossing Tangent 11. In addition, approximately 21.5 acres of high ground
has been proposed for unsuitable material at the USACE DA 0268 disposal site. The application states that
actual disturbed areas and volumes of material will be a summation of the locations within the channels that
need to be dredged for navigation at a given time but the length of beneficial placement areas will typically be
approximately 2,800 linear ft. with a berm width of 75-150 ft. at an elevation of +6 ft. NAVD88.

PROJECT NARRATIVE
In 2015, the local stakeholders for five shallow draft inlets - Bogue, New Topsail, Carolina Beach, Lockwoods Folly, and Shallotte
River Inlet (identified as the SDI -5) - and associated Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) crossings on the southeast North
Carolina coast submitted a N.C. Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Major Permit application to the N.C. Department of
Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Division of Coastal Management (DCM) for conducting maintenance dredging for navigation.
The permit application was a joint application for the state and federal approvals required to conduct this maintenance dredging.
Permits were issued for the municipalities associated with the five inlets in May 2016.
The applicants for these permits were five local governments adjacent to the inlets, who wished to obtain major CAMA permits
to continue the ongoing federal navigation maintenance dredging program at the inlets and the AIWW crossings, which is
currently conducted by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wilmington District. The federal program has been
authorized and conducted since at least 1982, and is currently funded by the State of North Carolina, or a combination of State
and local funds. The local governments applied for these permits to continue year-round navigation maintenance in the inlets,
which are critical to local commerce and recreation, should the USACE Wilmington District be unable to perform the program
for some reason.
The Town of Oak Island was not included in the SDI -5 permit application, but would like to obtain a similar permit for
maintenance dredging for the Lockwoods Folly Inlet and associated AIWW crossing to protect their financial investment in
maintaining inlet navigability. This is intended as a backup to the maintenance dredging permit that has been issued to the
Town of Holden Beach pursuant to the SDI -5 application. The Town of Oak Island currently shares financial responsibility with
the Town of Holden Beach and Brunswick County for the maintenance dredging that is currently performed by the USACE, and
would coordinate with these partners to avoid duplication for future maintenance efforts, if required. The authorized
maintenance dredging at Lockwoods Folly Inlet would mimic the ongoing, approved USACE maintenance dredging program,
which includes the AIWW crossings, connecting channels, and the inlet throat out through the currently authorized USACE inlet
linear distances beyond the COLREGS line. This inlet has typically needed maintenance on a roughly quarterly basis by the
USACE Wilmington District, and AIWW Crossing maintenance has typically been needed every 1-2 years. The Town of Oak
Island would continue this maintenance schedule to the extent practical, in coordination with the Town of Holden Beach and
Brunswick County, and subject to the navigational needs of the inlet.
The Town of Oak Island would continue the USACE Wilmington District's use of the least -cost method of disposal, and would
select from currently -approved dredge material management locations, including shoreline beneficial placement, nearshore
placement and/or upland confined disposal. The project area for the Lockwoods Folly Inlet is depicted in Figure 1. The Proposed
Action includes the AIWW Crossing wideners maintained by the USACE Wilmington District, as summarized in the following
excerpted table:

As a result of the ongoing nature of local stakeholder projects, many studies of environmental effects have been conducted over
time. These existing studies were obtained and summarized for the Major CAMA Permit for SDI -S Maintenance Dredging, (OBG,

To the extent practical, routinely scheduled dredging activity would be implemented during the environmental window for
dredging and shoreline beneficial reuse that is used by the USACE Wilmington District for AIWW Crossing projects (November
16 to April 30) to limit the potential effect on federally -managed species. When navigational needs necessitate inlet and crossing
maintenance operations outside the environmental window, dredges that are capable of nearshore or side -cast disposal would
be used to avoid potential impacts from beneficial placement. Should beneficial placement be needed outside the environmental
window, the permittee would independently coordinate with NCDCM through the minor permit modification process.

Lockwoods Folly Inlet is a shallow -draft inlet that allows for various -sized vessels to navigate from the AIWW to the Atlantic
Ocean for commerce, fishing, and recreation. Beach -quality material removed from the inlet that is beneficially placed on the
neighboring beach will maintain recreational beach area, restore existing dunes, and provide storm protection to public and
private infrastructure.
c. Describe the proposed construction methodology, types of construction equipment to be used during construction, the number of each type
of equipment and where it is to be stored.
For dredging with beneficial placement, typical beneficial placement methodology will be used, which includes using a
cutterhead hydraulic dredge and pipeline to convey sediment to the beach, and using bulldozers, front-end loaders and other
earth moving machinery to shape the sediment. For dredging without beneficial placement, dredges will be selected based
on the following criteria:
* Appropriate draft for inlet & channels
* Exclusionary fittings for sea turtles and sturgeon (if hopper dredges are used that have sufficient suction head size and
suction power to entrain sea turtles and sturgeon)
" Sea -worthy beyond International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (referred to as COLREGS) demarcation line.
d. List all development activities you propose.
Dredging of the Lockwoods Folly Inlet, connecting channels, and AIWW Crossing will result in beneficial placement on Oak
Island beaches, using previously -authorized beneficial placement locations from USACE and locally -permitted projects.
e. Are the proposed activities maintenance of an existing project, new work, or both? Existing
f. What is the approximate total disturbed land area resulting from the proposed project? The actual disturbed land area will be a
summation of the locations within
the channel that need to be dredged
for navigation at a given time, and
the volume of that material that is
beneficially placed or disposed. See
Figure 2 for potential on -shore
disturbed land areas, and form MP -

2. DISPOSAL OF EXCAVATED MATERIAL
a. and b. Location of & dimensions of disposal areas: The potential beach placement area begins on the
west end of Oak Island at the western beach access (Parcel ID 2330A02402), and ends at McGlamery Street
(Parcel ID 250EA00102) (Figure 1). The typical profile for the proposed placement comprises a berm width
of 75-150 feet (depending on local erosion patterns) at an elevation of El. +6.0 NAVD, and a natural slope to
existing grade. The proposed placement area is comprised of the following previously authorized projects,
which have beneficially placed material in the footprint delineated on Figure 1. The total length of proposed
beneficial placement area is approximately 46,000 feet. The length of actual beneficial placement in each
event will be based on the volume of dredged material, but will typically be approximately 2,800 feet.
