Dear Mr. Williamson:
NOV -31993
On February 11, 1991, we renewed general permit No. CESAW-C080-N-000-0291
(copy enclosed), which provides Federal authorization for construction
activities that receive authorization from the State of North Carolina.
A review of your application received September 27, 1993, for Department
of the Army authorization to construct ten piers on Old Sound Creek, Ocean
Isle Beach, Brunswick County, North Carolina, indicates it to be a candidate
for Federal authorization under this general permit. Accordingly, the
administrative processing of your application will be accomplished by the
North Carolina Division of Coastal Management. Comments from Federal review
agencies will be furnished to the State.
If your application must be withdrawn from this general permit process for
any reason, you will be informed regarding its further management. If there
are no unresolved differences in State-Federal positions or policies, the
final action taken on your application by the State will result in your
receiving written notice from us that your application is consistent with the
general permit and you may commence your activity. Only after receiving such
confirmation should you begin work.
Your application, pursuant to Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act, has
been assigned Action ID No. 199304787 and will be coordinated by Mr. Rudolf
Schiener in our Wilmington Field Office. He is available at telephone (919)
251-4629.

end of Ocean Isle Beach. Single-family residences and a private pier, would be subsequently constructed
on each lot by individual property owners. Subdivision development would consist of 37,200 square feet
of grading, the installation of a private road (740 ft. long and 20 ft. wide, and the installation of water
and sewer utility lines.

9. PROTECT DESCRIPTION 9/20/93
The project site is a 6.5 acre tract which constitutes the west end of Ocean Isle Beach in Brunswick
County. The property is adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean, Tubbs Inlet, and Old Sound Creek (Eastern
Channel) to the south, west, and north, respectively. The property is approximately 700 feet long and
350 feet wide, tapering to a point on its western end. Through extensive dune building, and vegetative
planting (American Beachgrass), the applicant has brought about a substantial accumulation of sand and
elongation of the property. This is evidenced by the comparison of current property dimensions (780'
X 350') to the 1984 aerial photography (400' X 250'). The natural processes of inlet migration, literal
drift, and aerial sand deposition have enhanced the build-up. There are two distinct dune systems along
the ocean front. The most oceanward dune system is man-made and has been planted with American
Beachgrass (Ammophila brebili ug lata). Although this system averages 5 - 7 feet in height, it is not
continuous, and there are several voids in the dune system that weaken its protective value. The second
dune system reaches elevations of 16 - 18 feet (10-12 feet above avg. grade). Dune vegetation is much
more stable and diverse and includes, Sea Oats (Uniola paniculata), Bitter Panecum anecum spp.),
and Beach Elder (Iva imbricata). Both dune systems bend around the west end of the island, narrowing
the property and typical of inlet adjacent dune systems. High tide washes across at the waterward, inlet
face of the dunes which has resulted in vertical erosion escarpment, approximately 6-8 feet in height,
at the western point of the island. The remainder of the property landward (north) of the dune systems
is relatively flat to its northern shoreline of Old Sound Creek which has been stabilized with rip rap
(State Permit 240-89).
The N. C. Division of Environmental Management classifies the waters of the Atlantic Ocean as SB.
The waters of Old Sound Creek are classified as SA and are OPEN to the harvest of shellfish. The N.
C. Division of Marine Fisheries has not designated this area as a Primary Nursery Area. The entire tract
is within the Inlet Hazard Area of Environmental Concern as designated by the Coastal Resources
Commission. The Long Term Average Annual Erosion Rate is two feet per year (LTAAER-pg. 1 of
14).
The applicant proposes to establish a ten (10) lot subdivision for residential development. The lots would
be 60 feet wide and range between 550-600 feet in length from Old Sound Creek to the oceanfront.
Minimum lot area is 32,000 square feet. The applicant proposes to extend 2nd St. across the northern
portion of the property. A road right-of-way, sixty (60) feet wide, approximately 620 feet long, would
be graded to include swells on either side a paved road, which would be 600 feet long and 20 feet wide.
The existing municipal water and sewer lines would also be extended to serve the proposed
development. The applicant is also proposing a private pier for each lot, consisting of a walk ramp (5
ft. wide), and a floating dock (20 ft. X 8 ft.).
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The grading and paving required for extension of the road would disturb approximately 37,200 square
feet of highground, of which 12,000 square feet would remain as impervious surface (paved area). The
subsequent construction of residential structures would create additional impervious surface. The ten
(10) proposed piers would occupy 1600 square feet of estaurine waters/public trust area. Through the
applicant's dune building efforts, the accumulation of sand currently appears to be increacing in the
project area. It should be noted, however, that inlet areas are very dynamic natural systems, and can
potentially produce rapid changes in adjacent shorelines.

elongation of the property. This is evidenced by the comparison of current property dimensions (780'
X 350') to the 1984 aerial photography (400' X 250'). The natural processes of inlet migration, literal
drift, and aerial sand deposition have enhanced the build-up. There are two distinct dune systems along
the ocean front. The most oceanward dune system is man-made and has been planted with American
Beachgrass (Ammophila brebili ug lata). Although this system averages 5 - 7 feet in height, it is not
continuous, and there are several voids in the dune system that weaken its protective value. The second
dune system reaches elevations of 16 - 18 feet (10-12 feet above avg. grade). Dune vegetation is much
more stable and diverse and includes, Sea Oats (Uniola paniculata), Bitter Panecum anecum spp.),
and Beach Elder (Iva imbricata). Both dune systems bend around the west end of the island, narrowing
the property and typical of inlet adjacent dune systems. High tide washes across at the waterward, inlet
face of the dunes which has resulted in vertical erosion escarpment, approximately 6-8 feet in height,
at the western point of the island. The remainder of the property landward (north) of the dune systems
is relatively flat to its northern shoreline of Old Sound Creek which has been stabilized with rip rap
(State Permit 240-89).
The N. C. Division of Environmental Management classifies the waters of the Atlantic Ocean as SB.
The waters of Old Sound Creek are classified as SA and are OPEN to the harvest of shellfish. The N.
C. Division of Marine Fisheries has not designated this area as a Primary Nursery Area. The entire tract
is within the Inlet Hazard Area of Environmental Concern as designated by the Coastal Resources
Commission. The Long Term Average Annual Erosion Rate is two feet per year (LTAAER-pg. 1 of
14).
The applicant proposes to establish a ten (10) lot subdivision for residential development. The lots would
be 60 feet wide and range between 550-600 feet in length from Old Sound Creek to the oceanfront.
Minimum lot area is 32,000 square feet. The applicant proposes to extend 2nd St. across the northern
portion of the property. A road right-of-way, sixty (60) feet wide, approximately 620 feet long, would
be graded to include swells on either side a paved road, which would be 600 feet long and 20 feet wide.
The existing municipal water and sewer lines would also be extended to serve the proposed
development. The applicant is also proposing a private pier for each lot, consisting of a walk ramp (5
ft. wide), and a floating dock (20 ft. X 8 ft.).
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The grading and paving required for extension of the road would disturb approximately 37,200 square
feet of highground, of which 12,000 square feet would remain as impervious surface (paved area). The
subsequent construction of residential structures would create additional impervious surface. The ten
(10) proposed piers would occupy 1600 square feet of estaurine waters/public trust area. Through the
applicant's dune building efforts, the accumulation of sand currently appears to be increacing in the
project area. It should be noted, however, that inlet areas are very dynamic natural systems, and can
potencially produce rapid changes in adjacent shorelines.
