APR 3 01993
Gentlemen:
Reference your letter of April 14, 1993, whereby you requested a
modification of your Federal permit which authorizes you to grade beach sand
along approximately six miles of Atlantic ocean beachfront at Holden Beach,
Brunswick County, North Carolina. Also, through coordination with the North
Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM), we have learned that your
corresponding State permit has been modified. The modification provides for
you to truck sand to the beach from an upland borrow area, and continue work
until May 1, 1993.
Your work, including bringing sand to the beachfront, continues to be
consistent with the provisions and objectives of general permit No.
CESAW-C080-N-000-0291. Therefore, you may continue activity in strict
accordance with the modified State authorization and the enclosed plan.
Special attention is directed to Additional Condition 3) of your State permit
which states:
In order to protect the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) and the
intertidal benthic community, no work will be permitted between the dates of
May 1 and November 30 of any year without the expressed approval of the North
Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM) in consultation with the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).
Failure to comply with the State authorization or conditions of the general
permit could result in civil and/or administrative penalties.
If any additional change in your work is required because of unforeseen or
altered conditions or for any other reason, plans revised to show the change
must be sent promptly to this office and the North Carolina Division of
Coastal Management prior to performing any such change or alteration. Such
action is necessary as revised plans must be reviewed and the authorization
modified.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Rudy Schiener, Wilmington
Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
G. Wayne Wright

Town of Holden Beach
Page 2
9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 12/28/93
The project area is the Town of Holden Beach, one of the coastal barrier islands located
in southeast Brunswick County, and accessed by NC Hwy 130. The Town has funded
several small sidewalk projects in the past, but when the town counsil approved the
construction of the sidewalk for the remainder of the length of Ocean Boulevard, a
sedimentation and erosion control plan for the NC Division of Land Quality, and a
CAMA Major Development Permit were required.
The project site consists of two areas within the existing right-of-way of Ocean Blvd.
(SRI 116)., one on the east and one on the west, ends of the island. The entire area is
highground.
The proposed project consists of 3.2 miles of concrete sidewalk five (5) feet wide, to be
constructed in two sections along the north side of Ocean Boulevard (SR 1116). Ocean
Boulevard is the main east-west thoroughfare running the length of the beach. The first
section would be .8 miles in length on the east end of the island beginning at Rothschild
Street and ending at Blockade Runner. The second segment would be 2.4 miles long,
located on the western end of the island between 660 Ocean Boulevard West and Shell
Drive. An area approximately 12.15 feet wide would be graded adjacent to the existing
pavement to accommodate placement of the sidewalk, which will vary from 6-11 feet
from the edge of the pavement. The disturbed area would be seeded and mulched at the
completion of the project.
The town has received an encroachment agreement from the NC Department of
Transportation for placement of the first segment (.8 miles) of sidewalk within the road
right-of-way of SR 1116. Approval is pending for the second segment of the project on
the west end of the beach. The Town proposes to begin construction of the east end
sidewalk as soon as possible. The western segment would be scheduled for construction
later in 1994, after receiving the NC Department of Transportation Encroachment
Agreement and completion of electrical service transition of aerial to underground lines.
The entire project should be completed by the end of 1995.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The project would disturb approximately 253,440 square feet (5.8 acres) of highground
within the existing road right-of-way of SR 1116. There are several areas on the west
end of the island where coastal and "404" type wetland boundaries are in close proximity
to proposed grading area. However, provided that adequate erosion control measures are
installed prior to grading, and the disturbed area is vegetatively stabilized at project
completion, no adverse impacts to the marine resources are anticipated.
The sidewalk will enhance public access to the beach, as well as improve public safety
by providing a pedestrian corridor off of the street.

8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The Town ol'Holden Beach proposes a public sidewalk, 3.2
miles long and 5 feet wide. The sidewalk would be constructed along two areas of Ocean
Boulevard.
Town of Holden Beach
Page 2
9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 12/28/93
The project area is the Town of Holden Beach, one of the coastal barrier islands located
in southeast Brunswick County, and accessed by NC Hwy 130. The Town has funded
several small sidewalk projects in the past, but when the town counsil approved the
construction of the sidewalk for the remainder of the length of Ocean Boulevard, a
sedimentation and erosion control plan for the NC Division of Land Quality, and a
CAMA Major Development Permit were required.
The project site consists of two areas within the existing right-of-way of Ocean Blvd.
(SRI 116)., one on the east and one on the west, ends of the island. The entire area is
highground.
The proposed project consists of 3.2 miles of concrete sidewalk five (5) feet wide, to be
constructed in two sections along the north side of Ocean Boulevard (SR 1116). Ocean
Boulevard is the main east-west thoroughfare running the length of the beach. The first
section would be .8 miles in length on the east end of the island beginning at Rothschild
Street and ending at Blockade Runner. The second segment would be 2.4 miles long,
located on the western end of the island between 660 Ocean Boulevard West and Shell
Drive. An area approximately 12.15 feet wide would be graded adjacent to the existing
pavement to accommodate placement of the sidewalk, which will vary from 6-11 feet
from the edge of the pavement. The disturbed area would be seeded and mulched at the
completion of the project.
The town has received an encroachment agreement from the NC Department of
Transportation for placement of the first segment (.8 miles) of sidewalk within the road
right-of-way of SR 1116. Approval is pending for the second segment of the project on
the west end of the beach. The Town proposes to begin construction of the east end
sidewalk as soon as possible. The western segment would be scheduled for construction
later in 1994, after receiving the NC Department of Transportation Encroachment
Agreement and completion of electrical service transition of aerial to underground lines.
The entire project should be completed by the end of 1995.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The project would disturb approximately 253,440 square feet (5.8 acres) of highground
within the existing road right-of-way of SR 1116. There are several areas on the west
end of the island where coastal and "404" type wetland boundaries are in close proximity
to proposed grading area. However, provided that adequate erosion control measures are
installed prior to grading, and the disturbed area is vegetatively stabilized at project
completion, no adverse impacts to the marine resources are anticipated.
The sidewalk will enhance public access to the beach, as well as improve public safety
by providing a pedestrian corridor off of the street.

Narrative
HOLDEN BEACH SIDEWALK PROJECT
This project consists of 3.2 miles of 5-foot concrete
sidewalk to be constructed in two sections on the north side
of Ocean Boulevard in Holden Beach. The first section is
approximately 0.8 miles in length running east from Roths-
child Street to Blockade Runner; the second from 660 Ocean
Boulevard West to Shell Drive, near the beginning of Holden
Beach West. Work on the first section will begin as soon as
weather permits in 1994. The second will be need to be
coordinated with Brunswick Electric Membership Corporation
(BEMC) and their underground powerline conversion project
which needs to be performed ahead of the sidewalk. It is
aniticipated this will allow at least half of the west end
project to be completed in 1994.
The purpose of this project is provide safer and more
convenient access to the beach. Initial phases completed to
date have proved extremely popular and the local police
department believes the resulting improved separation of
pedestrian and vehicular traffic has provided a significant
safety improvement already.
The project has no impact on 404 lands. It is estimated
that the average width of land disturbance will be 15 feet.
If there are any negative impacts from this project it is
difficult to imagine what they could be.
