MAINTENANCE DREDGING IN
MANTEO (SHALLOWBAG) BAY, OREGON INLET
DARE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (OCEAN BAR)
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
The WILMINGTON DISTRICT CORPS OF ENGINEERS, Wilmington, North Carolina, proposes
to perform Maintenance Dredging in Oregon Inlet (Ocean Bar Channel) between mile 0.0
west of the bridge to mile 1.5 east of the bridge.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This work is scheduled to begin in January 1989 and involves
the removal of all material lying above the plane of 17 feet below mean low water
(MLW) within the do-signated limits of the cha l as rani on the attached drawing.
The estimated quantity of material to be removed is approximately 400,000 cubic yards
of coarse sand and shell. Thee-'ork will require approximately 90 days to complete end.-:: ,
will be accomplshed:br?ue oshpprer ?dge°seletd b°y titive bidding. The
nut
R,gde matea1 w?°lle°°p'°ace" along tie 1-foot depth contour in the surf zone of
the adjacent beaches. The frequency of dredging is once every 6 months to once a
year. This part of the project was last dredged in July and August of 1988.
A drawing showing the location of the proposed work and the disposal area is
enclosed with this notice.
There is enclosed a list of Federal, State, and local agencies with whom these
activities are being coordinated.
A Section 401 (P.L. 95-217), General Water Quality Certificate Number 1271 was
issued on November 3, 1978 for sidecast and hopper dredging in the ocean inlets.
A Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for Manteo (Shallowbag) Bay project
was prepared in July 1977 and filed with Council on Environmental Quality on April 11,
1979.
The proposed action is consistent with the approved Coastal Management Program of
the State of North Carolina (N.C. Department of Natural Resources and Community

The decision whether to perform this work will be based on an evaluation of the
probable impact including cumulative impacts of the proposed activity on the public
interest. That decision will reflect the national concern for both protection and
utilization of important resources. The benefit which reasonably may be expected to
accrue from the proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable
detriments. All factors which may be relevant to the proposal will be considered
including the cumulative effect thereof; among those are conservation, economics,
aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, historic properties, fish and
wildlife values, flood hazards, floodplain values, land use, navigation, shoreline
erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality,
energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of
property ownership and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people.
Any person who has an interest which may be affected by the disposal of this
dredged material may request a public hearing. The request must be submitted in
writing to the District Engineer within 30 days of the date of this notice and must
clearly set forth the interest which may be affected and the manner in which the
interest may be affected by this activity. In order for such request to be given
appropriate consideration, it should be mailed or delivered to the U. S. Army Engineer
District, Wilmington, Post Office Box 1890, Wilmington, North Carolina 28402-1890, in
time to be received on or before December 12, 1988. All correspondence should refer
