RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OR PERMIT RESTRICTIONS:
Although this office has concerns about the changes in
natural systems that may result from beach hardening, i.e.,
accelerated erosion in front of and at the ends of these type
structures, from a water quality viewpoint impacts from this
project should be minimal.
The project should be done in such a manner so as to not
cause turbidity outside the immediate construction area to exceed
25 NTU.

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project is located on the oceanfront of Bald Head Island at
1091 Sandspur Trail. Bald Head Island is a coastal barrier
island located south of Fort Fisher and Corn Cake Inlet and north
of the mouth of the Cape Fear River in Brunswick County. The
island is accessed by private ferry from Southport. The waters
of the Atlantic Ocean are classified SB by the N.C. Division of
Environmental Management. The applicant owns six (6) continuous
lots on Sandspur Trail, however, the project area consists only
of Lot 1091, on which the applicant maintains his residence. The
lot exhibits typical beach dune vegetation including sea oats,
smilax, and yucca. An approximate four (4) foot erosion
escarpment serves as the frontal dune on the ocean side of the
project site. The erosion escarpment is remnant from hurricane
Hugo in 1989, at which time, Division personnel reviewed the site
for relocation, at the request of a previous owner, for
qualification under the Upton/Jones Amendment of the Federal
Emergency Management Act. At that time, the property did not
meet the 25 feet criteria to qualify for Upton - Jones funding,
as the erosion escarpment was located 36 to 38 feet from the
structure's foundation, and the original escarpment was a nearly
vertical 8-9 foot drop. The normal high tide was located 25 - 30
feet waterward of the erosion escarpment except during subsequent
storm tides over the last two years which have eroded the
escarpment an additional 3 feet since 1989. The escarpment was
last measured by Division staff at 33 feet from the house
foundation pilings on December 10, 1991. There are no primary
dunes and no continuous dune system along the beach in this area
of Bald Head Island. Phase I of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Wilmington Harbor - Ocean Bar Channels Project, was
completed in December 1991. The project had proposed the
deposition of approximately 390,000 cubic yards of dredge spoil
sands, 80 feet wide and 6 feet deep, along approximately 3,000
linear feet of the south beach at Bald Head Island. The
resulting beach profile in front of the applicant's property was
approximately 4.5 feet of sand deposition at the old escarpment
line gradually sloping to below MLW. The old escarpment line is
currently located approximately thirty-three (33) feet from the
foundation of the residential structure. However, as a result of
the recent beach renourishment project, mean high water has been
pushed approximately 92 feet waterward of the old erosion
escarpment line.
The long-term annual erosion rate is 3 feet per year and the 100
year storm recession line is projected at 270 feet landward of
the present shoreline.

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION - CONT.
The applicant proposes to construct a sandbag bulkhead 100 feet
long, 15 feet wide and 8 feet high along the base of the remnant
erosion escarpment on the ocean side of his property. The
application lists that the individual polyester sandbags would be
6 feet wide and 10 feet long. Given the proposed configuation of
the sandbags, it is unclear how the applicant would maintain the
proposed 15' project width. The base of the revetment would be
buried approximately 3 feet below the present grade and would
consist of two layers of sandbags, each three sandbags wide. The
following layer would be stepped back to two sandbags, then a
single row of sandbags would constitute the top layer resulting
in a right angle triangle configuration. Ten (10) pilings would
be installed, ten feet on center to secure the bulkhead on the
ocean side. The applicant proposes to fill the sandbags by
pumping sand from below mean low water, and then cover the entire
structure by bulldozing sand from the beach.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The proposed project would disturb a total area of approximately
13,500 square feet of unvegetated (11,000 s.f.) and intertidal
(2,500 s.f.) beach. There would be some short-term turbidity
associated with the filling of sandbags with sand pumped from
below MLW, as well as with the beach bulldozing activity.
However no long-term adverse impacts of the ground disturbance
are anticipated, as long as the beach bulldozing activity is
limited to a timeframe outside of the seaturtle nesting and
hatching season.
The proposed sandbag bulkhead would consume approximately 1500
square feet of public trust area of the beach. Additionally, in
the event of wave overwash during a storm, the structure would
prevent the regression of waves. The trapped water would
channel toward the open-ended design of the bulkhead creating
accelerated erosion toward both ends of structure. Also, there
is a significant body of scientific evidence that indicates a
potential for adverse erosion-associated impacts to the beach
profile and/or adjacent property as a result of the installation
of oceanfront shoreline hardening structures. Should the
applicant not remove the structure as proposed, in the event it
becomes exposed or if adjacent shoreline erosion exceeds the
landward position of the structure, these impacts would become
evident.

ADDENDUM TO WALTER R. DAVIS
rr? ? ? i?2
MAJOR CAMA PERMIT APPLICATION
nrISI r2 F
The enclosed permit application is sgbor&&d)`A?6 GLMEJ
consideration under Subchapter 7H of the regulations adopted
for the Coastal Management Program, and specifically 7H
.0308(a)(1). .0308(a)(1)(A) states that alternative
approaches to beach nourishment and relocation "will be
allowed where the applicant can show that such measures are
necessary to provide adequate protection." Beach nourishment,
a preferred alternative, has recently been completed in front
of the subject property. However, due to the extremely
dynamic nature of Bald Head Island, the beach nourishment
program is considered to have a very short life, and, in fact,
may not survive a single major storm event.
.0308(a)(1)(B) states that "Erosion controll
structures which cause significant adverse impacts on the
value and enjoyment of adjacent properties or public access to
and use of the ocean beach are prohibited." As more fully set
out herein, the enclosed application will neither cause
significant adverse impacts on the value and enjoyment of
adjacent properties, nor will it significantly impact public
access to and use of the ocean beach. Therefore, the
application is consistent with the use standards included in
Subchapter 7H. North Carolina General Statute 113.A-120
requires that a permit issue absent specific findings outlined
in that statute; the permit applicant believes that no such
findings can legitimately be made, and thus a permit should
issue.
In order to ensure compliance with .0308(a)(1)(B),
the proposed structure will be located well above mean
highwater mark, and will be constructed so as to minimize any
impact on the public beach strand.
In addition, the proposed structure is not designed
for permanent bulkheading purposes, but rather is proposed to
impede storm surges or other accelerated erosion of a
temporary nature, in order to protect the applicant's valuable
property and improvements for a sufficient time to allow
natural or artificial beach stabilization after such an event,
so that, within a short period of time after such an event,
the structure will again be covered, and will have no long
term substantial impact on adjoining properties. It might
also be noted that the immediately adjoining properties are
owned by the applicant, and that, to the knowledge of the
applicant, no other proximate property owners have any
objection to the proposed structure.
r
- 2 -
To ensure that there is not substantial adverse
impact f rom the structure, the applicant is prepared, as a
permit condition, to cause the structure to be removed, at
applicant's expense, a reasonable time after the happening of
such -a storm event, if in fact there is not natural or
artificial beach renourishment to cover the structure, and to
re-establish the beach strand. In order to ensure compliance,
the applicant will post a cash bond with the department in an
amount equal to 125% of the estimated cost of removal of the
structure.
Legal counsel for the applicant is Kenneth M.
Kirkman, Post Office Drawer 1347, 710 Arendell Street,
Morehead City, North Carolina 28557, [phone]. Please
feel free to address any questions concerning this permit
application either to the undersigned or to Mr. Kirkman. We
will be glad to provide any data that may reasonably be
requested.
I would urge that you examine carefully the data
that has been compiled concerning the causes of erosion along
the area of Bald Head Island within which is located the
applicant's property. I believe that the severe erosion that
has occurred within the last ten years has been demonstrated
to be related to the manmade maintenance and expansion of the
offshore shipping channel; this channel has created very
unusual conditions at Bald Head, warranting unusual responses.
It is the belief of the applicant that this
application is consistent with all rules and regulations of
the commission. However, if it is the position of the
commission that no such structure may be permitted under the
rules, regardless of a finding of no adverse impact to
adjacent properties or public access, it is requested that the
permit application be quickly denied, with this reason stated
for denial. There is no point in a prolonged permit
evaluation if in fact it is the position of the commission
that the rules, notwithstanding the language thereof and
notwithstanding any specific findings as to impact, prohibit a
structure such as that requested. Absent such a prompt
denial, the applicant will assume that it is the position of
the staff and the commission that a full review of the permit
application will be made with the understanding that a permit
may issue if in fact no finding is made under Section 113A-120
of the North Carolina General Statutes, and if there is found
to be no significant adverse impact on the value and enjoyment
of adjacent properties or public access to and use of the
ocean beach.

Dear Mr. Davis:

By copy of North Carolina Department of Environmenty!Health and Natural
Resources (NCDEHNR) letter to your representative, Mr. Harvey G. Ramsey of
April 7, 1992, we have learned that State authorization for you to construct a
sandbag bulkhead on the Atlantic Ocean, Bald Head Island, Brunswick County,
North Carolina, has been denied. Under the administrative rules of our
regulatory program, denial of required State authorization precludes favorable
consideration of a Federal permit. Accordingly, your Department of the Army
application is hereby denied, without prejudice, and your file has been
retired.
Mr. Rudy Schiener of my staff is available to answer any questions you may
have or to assist you in developing a revised plan. He may be reached at

Dear Mr. Dorney:
Enclosed is the application of Mr. Walter R. Davis, represented by
Mr. Harvey G. Ramsey, for Department of the Army authorization and a State
Water Quality Certification to construct a sandbag bulkhead on the Atlantic
Ocean, Bald Head Island, Brunswick County, North Carolina. Your receipt of
this letter verifies your acceptance of a valid request for certification in
accordance with Section 325.2(b)(ii) of our administrative regulations.
We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to Section
404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have determined that a water quality
certification may be required under the provisions of Section 401 of the same
law. A Department of the Army permit will not be granted until the
certification has been obtained or waived.
In accordance with our administrative regulations, 60 days after receipt
of a request for certification is a reasonable time for State action.
Therefore, if you have not acted on the request by May 1992, the District
Engineer will deem that waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Rudy Schiener, Wilmington
Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
ne Wri t

Island in Brunswick County.
Harvey G. Ramsey

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project is located on the oceanfront of Bald Head Island at
1091 Sandspur Trail. Bald Head Island is a coastal barrier
island located south of Fort Fisher and Corn Cake Inlet and north
of the mouth of the Cape Fear River in Brunswick County. The
island is accessed by private ferry from Southport. The waters
of the Atlantic Ocean are classified SB by the N.C. Division of
Environmental Management. The applicant owns six (6) continuous
lots on Sandspur Trail, however, the project area consists only
of Lot 1091, on which the applicant maintains his residence. The
lot exhibits typical beach dune vegetation including sea oats,
smilax, and yucca. An approximate four (4) foot erosion
escarpment serves as the frontal dune on the ocean side of the
project site. The erosion escarpment is remnant from hurricane
Hugo in 1989, at which time, Division personnel reviewed the site
for relocation, at the request of a previous owner, for
qualification under the Upton/Jones Amendment of the Federal
Emergency Management Act. At that time, the property did not
meet the 25 feet criteria to qualify for Upton - Jones funding,
as the erosion escarpment was located 36 to 38 feet from the
structure's foundation, and the original escarpment was a nearly
vertical 8-9 foot drop. The normal high tide was located 25 - 30
feet waterward of the erosion escarpment except during subsequent
storm tides over the last two years which have eroded the
escarpment an additional 3 feet since 1989. The escarpment was
last measured by Division staff at 33 feet from the house
foundation pilings on December 10, 1991. There are no primary
dunes and no continuous dune system along the beach in this area
of Bald Head Island. Phase I of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Wilmington Harbor - Ocean Bar Channels Project, was
completed in December 1991. The project had proposed the
deposition of approximately 390,000 cubic yards of dredge spoil
sands, 80 feet wide and 6 feet deep, along approximately 3,000
linear feet of the south beach at Bald Head Island. The
resulting beach profile in front of the applicant's property was
approximately 4.5 feet of sand deposition at the old escarpment
line gradually sloping to below MLW. The old escarpment line is
currently located approximately thirty-three (33) feet from the
foundation of the residential structure. However, as a result of
the recent beach renourishment project, mean high water has been
pushed approximately 92 feet waterward of the old erosion
escarpment line.
The long-term annual erosion rate is 3 feet per year and the 100
year storm recession line is projected at 270 feet landward of
the present shoreline.

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION - CONT.
The applicant proposes to construct a sandbag bulkhead 100 feet
long, 15 feet wide and 8 feet high along the base of the remnant
erosion escarpment on the ocean side of his property. The
application lists that the individual polyester sandbags would be
6 feet wide and 10 feet long. Given the proposed configuation of
the sandbags, it is unclear how the applicant would maintain the
proposed 15' project width. The base of the revetment would be
buried approximately 3 feet below the present grade and would
consist of two layers of sandbags, each three sandbags wide. The
following layer would be stepped back to two sandbags, then a
single row of sandbags would constitute the top layer resulting
in a right angle triangle configuration. Ten (10) pilings would
be installed, ten feet on center to secure the bulkhead on the
ocean side. The applicant proposes to fill the sandbags by
pumping sand from below mean low water, and then cover the entire
structure by bulldozing sand from the beach.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The proposed project would disturb a total area of approximately
13,500 square feet of unvegetated (11,000 s.f.) and intertidal
(2,500 s.f.) beach. There would be some short-term turbidity
associated with the filling of sandbags with sand pumped from
below MLW, as well as with the beach bulldozing activity.
However no long-term adverse impacts of the ground disturbance
are anticipated, as long as the beach bulldozing activity is
limited to a timeframe outside of the seaturtle nesting and
hatching season.
The proposed sandbag bulkhead would consume approximately 1500
square feet of public trust area of the beach. Additionally, in
the event of wave overwash during a storm, the structure would
prevent the regression of waves. The trapped water would
channel toward the open-ended design of the bulkhead creating
accelerated erosion toward both ends of structure. Also, there
is a significant body of scientific evidence that indicates a
potential for adverse erosion-associated impacts to the beach
profile and/or adjacent property as a result of the installation
of oceanfront shoreline hardening structures. Should the
applicant not remove the structure as proposed, in the event it
becomes exposed or if adjacent shoreline erosion exceeds the
landward position of the structure, these impacts would become
evident.
