the public is welcome to attend meetings.
The Shoreline access and Beach Protection Committee manages the Town
of Kure Beach Adopt a Beach program. This is an effort to involve the
community in protecting our beach and maintain a litter -free environment.
Thirty-three volunteers participated in the summer of 2017.
The Shoreline Access and Beach Protection Committee also works with
volunteers for the UNCW Beach Cleanup (beach sweep) in the fall.
7.3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
7.3.1. Storm Sewer System Map. The Town of Kure Beach utilizes a stormwater
mapping system through GIS. The information for the mapping system was
provided by a registered land surveyor and an engineering firm and included
locating existing basins, ditches, and swales, along with condition of piping
and basins, elevation, sizes of pipes, and direction of flow.

accordance with procedures set forth in Section 11-18 through Section I 1-22 of
The Code of Ordinances for the Town of Kure Beach, North Carolina.
7.3.3. Detection and Elimination.
7.3.3.1. Locating Problem Areas. Illicit discharges and connections to the
Town's storm sewer system will be identified using the following
techniques:
• Water sampling data, water quality information and/or location
of the oldest sanitary sewer lines in the Town will be reviewed to
identify potential problem areas and to prioritize the need for
visual screening.
• Members of the maintenance staff for the Public Works
Department will be trained on how to identify illicit discharges
during their daily operations.
• The State routinely samples stormwater outfalls at certain
locations within the Town of Kure Beach.

• Locations identified by visual screening, complaints, and water
quality data as requiring follow up will be prioritized and
revisited.
7.3.4. Finding the Source. The location and prioritization of the sources that
are illicitly discharging polluting materials in the jurisdiction will be as
follows:
• Complaints related to the discharge of polluting materials will be
investigated as they are reported. Staff resources will be allocated as
needed in order to respond in a timely manner. A system will be
developed for follow up distribution of public education materials
regarding proper disposal into storm sewer system for those
associated with the illicit discharges.
• Water sampling and testing is conducted on a monthly basis by the
State of North Carolina.
• Suspicious discharges will be prioritized based on the estimate of
their impact on the watershed.
• Investigation of suspicious discharges will be made by visual
inspection and/or testing of discharges within the storm
drainage system upstream and downstream of the suspicious
discharge. Other options that will be considered in locating
illicit connections or discharges include televising the storm
sewer or dye testing premises in the area where there is a
discharge. Notification will be placed on the doors of residents
and businesses alerting them to the possible problem that is
under investigation and to solicit their assistance in finding the
source. A building -by -building evaluation may also be used in
areas where a problem has been isolated to a small area.
• Reportable spills (and other reportable events) are reported to
the appropriate state agencies.

Public Education for residents, businesses and visitors. An educational
brochure is included on the Town website.
7.3.6. Decision Process. The Stormwater Illicit Discharge Detection and
Elimination Program will emphasize prevention of illegal discharges
through regulation and education. The ordinance will be enforced as
needed, but the emphasis when a discharge is found will be education and
elimination of the discharge. The inventory of previous complaints and
location of old sanitary sewer lines will be the initial priority areas for
visual inspection. in June 2018 twelve employees of the Public Works
Department received training in recognition of illegal discharges.

7. Stormwater Management Program
7.1. Public Education and Outreach on Stormwater Impacts
The Town of Kure Beach will implement public education programs to distribute
educational materials to the community and/or conduct equivalent outreach activities
about the impacts of stormwater discharges on water bodies and the steps that the
public can take to reduce pollution in stormwater runoff.
7.1.1. Target Audience. Our public education program will target homeowners,
business owners, and visitors. While Kure Beach is primarily a residential
community with supporting commercial businesses, its location does
encourage visitors.
7.1.2. Target Pollutant Sources. The public education program will address
household hazardous waste, pet waste, lawn and gardening activities, vehicle
washing and illicit discharges. These are the predominant pollutants generated
by residents and visitors.
7.1.3. Outreach Program. Stormwater education outreach programs have been
implemented through the Town of Kure Beach Public Works/Stormwater
Department.
• Information is provided on the Town of Kure Beach website.
• Kure Beach developed a coloring/activity book Protect Our Ocean Life,
and designed and purchased refillable pet waste bag dispensers. Other
material includes a brochure "Kure Beach Cares about Stormwater Runoff
Pollution," developed to distribute at Town Hall and local events.
Providing displays for Kure Beach town booths at local festivals/events
(Kure Beach Street Festival, Island Day) to inform citizens about how they
can contribute to improving water quality in the area. Promotional items
including the pet waste bag dispensers, the coloring/activity book and
crayons are distributed during these events to create awareness and help
residents and visitors actively become involved in reducing stormwater
pollution.
7.2. Public Involvement and Participation

NPDES Phase 11 Annual Report Page 7

7.3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
7.3.1. Storm Sewer System Map. The Town of Kure Beach utilizes a stormwater
mapping system through GIS. The information for the mapping system was
provided by a registered land surveyor and an engineering firm and included
locating existing basins, ditches, and swales, along with condition of piping
and basins, elevation, sizes of pipes, and direction of flow.
7.3.2. Regulatory Mechanism and Enforcement. Illicit discharges are considered
public nuisances in the Town of Kure Beach Universal Stormwater Ordinance.
As addressed in the ordinance, such public nuisances shall be abated in
accordance with procedures set forth in Section 11-18 through Section 11-22 of
The Code of Ordinances for the Town of Kure Beach, North Carolina.
7.3.3. Detection and Elimination.
7.3.3.1. Locating Problem Areas. Illicit discharges and connections to the
Town's storm sewer system will be identified using the following
techniques:
• Water sampling data, water quality information and/or location
of the oldest sanitary sewer lines in the Town will be reviewed to
identify potential problem areas and to prioritize the need for
visual screening.
• Members of the maintenance staff for the Public Works
Department will be trained on how to identify illicit discharges
during their daily operations.
• The State routinely samples stormwater outfalls at certain
locations within the Town of Kure Beach.
• The Town of Kure Beach includes hot line telephone numbers on
the town website. Complaints made to the hot line number will
be investigated.
• Locations identified by visual screening, complaints, and water
quality data as requiring follow up will be prioritized and
revisited.
7.3.4. Finding the Source. The location and prioritization of the sources that
are illicitly discharging polluting materials in the jurisdiction will be as
follows:
Complaints related to the discharge of polluting materials will be
investigated as they are reported. Staff resources will be allocated as
needed in order to respond in a timely manner. A system will be
developed for follow up distribution of public education materials
regarding proper disposal into storm sewer system for those
associated with the illicit discharges.
• Water sampling and testing is conducted on a monthly basis by the
State of North Carolina.
Town of Kure Beach Stormwater Management Program
NPDES Phase 11 Annual Report Page 8

• Suspicious discharges will be prioritized based on the estimate of
their impact on the watershed.
• Investigation of suspicious discharges will be made by visual
inspection and/or testing of discharges within the storm
drainage system upstream and downstream of the suspicious
discharge. Other options that will be considered in locating
illicit connections or discharges include televising the storm
sewer or dye testing premises in the area where there is a
discharge. Notification will be placed on the doors of residents
and businesses alerting them to the possible problem that is
under investigation and to solicit their assistance in finding the
source. A building -by -building evaluation may also be used in
areas where a problem has been isolated to a small area.
• Reportable spills (and other reportable events) are reported to
the appropriate state agencies.
7.3.5. Outreach: The Town of Kure Beach will be providing Stormwater
Public Education for residents, businesses and visitors. An educational
brochure is included on the Town website. Signs regarding pet waste,
along with pet waste bags, are posted in various areas of the Town
7.3.6. Decision Process. The Stormwater Illicit Discharge Detection and
Elimination Program will emphasize prevention of illegal discharges
through regulation and education. The ordinance will be enforced as
needed, but the emphasis when a discharge is found will be education and
elimination of the discharge. The inventory of previous complaints and
location of old sanitary sewer lines will be the initial priority areas for
visual inspection. Efforts will be made at cross -training Town staff in
recognition of illegal discharges.
7.3.7. Evaluation. All activities related to this Illicit Discharge Elimination
Program will be tracked and documented by the Town of Kure Beach.
7.4. Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control

7.5. Post -Construction Stormwater Management in New Development and
Redevelopment
7.5.1 The Town of Kure Beach currently has a universal stormwater ordinance in
place. This ordinance complies the State's Phase II rules for post -construction.
Highlights of the ordinance include the following:
• A stormwater permit will be required for all development and
redevelopment resulting in increased BUA on properties that disturb
5000 sq. feet or more that are not currently covered by a NCDENR
Stormwater Permit. An approved stormwater permit will be required
before a building permit will be issued.
• The stormwater permit requires that a structural stormwater best
management practice be designed for the property to control and treat
the runoff from the first 1 %z " of rainfall. The design of the BMP must
be prepared by a Registered NC Professional Engineer, surveyor, soil
scientist or landscape architect that is competent in stonmwater
management. This same professional will later be required to certify,
under seal, that the As Built stormwater BMP meets the requirements
of this ordinance.
• The permit also requires an Operation and Maintenance manual for the
stormwater BMP be submitted with the BMP plans. The approved
Operation and Maintenance Manual shall be referenced on the final
plat and recorded with the New Hanover Registrar of Deeds, which
shall be binding on all subsequent owners of the property. In addition,
it shall grant to the Town of Kure Beach a right of entry in the event
that the Stormwater Administrator has reason to believe that the BMP
is not performing as permitted. There are also some special
requirements for subdivisions with Homeowners Associations
requiring escrow accounts dedicated to the maintenance of stormwater
BMP's.
• The property owner will be required to submit an inspection report by
a certified inspector annually, certifying that the BMP(s) are
performing properly.
Permitting under this ordinance has been delegated to the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality. Permits will be issued through the
Wilmington Office.

1.4 MS4 Conveyance System
Describe your system, in narrative, identifying use of pipe, open channels, etc. to give a general feel
for how the system performs and the general condition of the streams and other water bodies
receiving runoff.
The Town of Kure Beach is located in New Hanover County, North Carolina and is situated on a
barrier island adjacent to historic Fort Fisher State Park. Geographically, the town is located on a
narrow island, with the Atlantic Ocean in the east and bordered on the west side by the Intracoastal
Waterway. The existing stormwater drainage system utilizes eighteen (18) ocean outfalls to
discharge untreated stormwater directly to the surf zone along the recreational beach area. Over
50% of the Town's stormwater runoff is discharged through these ocean outfalls. The remaining
volume of stormwater runoff drains by gravity through the MOTSU buffer zone and into the Cape
Fear River. The eighteen (18) drains that exist today were installed in 1911 when the old roadway
was built. Other drains may have preceded these, but those there today were installed then by the
road -builders. Their purpose is to drain storm water away from the road surface. Current
ownership is debatable, although it is clear the storm drains are not privately owned, but rather, the
North Carolina Department of Transportation - Division of Highways (DOT) and the Town of Kure
Beach shares maintenance of them. DOT maintains the drains across their right of way, while the
Town maintains the pipes once they reach the shoreline. Recently DOT and the Army Corps of
Engineers (COE) partnered in the relocation of the drains at the (former) Hamby Beach area. The
Town has extended the pipes to accommodate beach re -nourishment projects and has kept them
open over the years. The Town is investigating the feasibility of removing these ocean outfalls and

implementing a comprehensive stormwater drainage project. A Feasibility Study has been prepared
which outlines the possible options for such a comprehensive project. The concept for a feasible
stormwater management project involving the elimination of the eighteen ocean outfalls includes
both gravity drainage and pumping. The general scope of the concept project is to collect the runoff
in several manifold type conveyances that will gravity drain to several pump stations located along
Fort Fisher Boulevard. The stormwater will then be pumped to a ditch and culvert network in the
MOTSU buffer zone. The concept project also utilizes a series of stormwater "best management
practices" (BPM's) to provide treatment of the first flush (i.e., the first 1-inch of each storm event) to
reduce sediment and pollutants prior to discharge. The BPM's include a series of stormwater
wetlands, totalirg approximately 20 acres, to be created in the MOTSU buffer zone. These
wetlands must be carefully designed to receive gravity flow from the drainage west of 4th Street and
pressure flow from the stormwater pump stations located east of 4th Street. The pressure lines
from the pump stations will discharge into a stilling basin where the velocity will be slowed and
energy dissipated prior to release to the stormwater wetlands. A diversion box will be located in the
lower stage of the stilling basin, which will utilize a series of weirs to direct the volume produced by
the first flush toward the stormwater wetlands. Stormwater runoff that exceeds the first flush will be
diverted around the treatment devices, through stabilized channels, and will directly discharge to the
Cape Fear River. The stormwater wetlands will be designed to treat the first flush or the runoff
produced by the first 1-inch of rainfall produced from a storm with a recurrence interval of 2-years
and 24-hour duration. The temporary pool in the wetlands should be designed to contain the first f -
inch of the 2-year storm event, with no volume reduction for pervious area within the watershed.
The Town is presently investigating sources of funding for this project.
The existing stormwater collection system consists of a network of ditches, pipes, culverts, five
stormwater detention basins, and curb & gutter. There is one wet detention basin Jocated near
Hamby Avenue that does afford some treatment for a portion of the stormwater discharging toward
Ocean Outfall #1 at Ocean View Avenue. The Kure Beach topography is such that there is a slight
ridge that runs from the northeast to southwest. The Kure Beach drainage area east of
"approximately" 4Th Street drains toward the Atlantic Ocean while the area to the west of 4th Street
drains toward the Cape Fear River. This ridge does not run exactly parallel to 4th Street, but is
skewed slightly in the NE to SW direction.

progress.

2. RECEIVING STREAMS
2.1 Major River Basin
Cape Fear
2.2 Primary Receiving Streams
Receiving Stream Name: Cape Fear - 35%; Direct discharge to Atlantic Ocean — 65%
Stream Segment: Hennikers Ditch
Water Quality Classification: SA; HQW
Use Support Rating: NIA
Water Quality Issues: There are currently eighteen (18) stormwater ocean outfalls discharging
untreated stormwater runoff into the coastal waters along the Kure Beach recreational shoreline. The
eighteen ocean outfalls discharge more than half of the stormwater runoff from the Kure Beach drainage
area. There have been documented water quality issues in the coastal waters at and near these outfalls
2.3 Significant Water Quality Issues
Are there significant water quality issues detailed in the attached application report? Yes. Presently
the discharge of untreated stormwater directly to the surf zone along the Kure Beach recreational shoreline,
via the 18 ocean outfall pipes, is a serious concern. Elevated bacteria counts have been measured in the
vicinity of the outfall pipes. The outfall pipes discharge in the public swimming areas. See Feasibility Study
for further details and plan of action for removal of the outfall pipes.
2.4 Discharge to Seas
Do you discharge to territorial seas, oceans or within the contiguous zone?
Yes

7. Stormwater Management Plan
7.1 Public Education and outreach on Stormwater Impacts
What pollutant source(s) are you trying to address and why? List the targeted pollutants and give a
brief explanation as to why these are selected.
Fecal Coliform from pet waste and malfunctioning sewer systems, nutrients from lawn and garden care
activities, petroleum and antifreeze for roadway surfaces.
Write a narrative description of the approach you are going to take in your outreach program.
Target various public sectors, including schools, businesses and citizens, through educational campaigns to
inform citizens on illicit discharges, reporting, improper waste disposal, sources of nutrient and fecal coliform
loading and actions that can be taken to minimize the pollutants. Local police and fire personnel will be
educated in illicit discharge detection, reporting and spill response. Fliers, bill inserts, newspaper ads and
TV public service announcements will be utilized to inform the public.
Decision Process: describe the decision process used to create this program element.
The stormwater management committee that was appointed by the Town Council recognized the need for a
stormwater education program to inform the citizens about the impacts of polluted runoff to waterways and
coastal waters along the Kure Beach recreational shoreline. The specific focus is to inform citizens about
the impacts of polluted runoff and to foster understanding and acceptance for the newly established
program.
7.2 Public Involvement and Participation Program
Are you going to comply with the public hearing requirement to meet this minimum control
measure?
Yes, the State's public notice of the draft NPDES stormwater permit will serve as the required public
involvement. There is no local requirement to involve the public or hold a hearing on the NPDES permit
application.
Describe the Public [notice Process including the name and title of the person responsible for
compliance.
The public may comment on the draft NPDES stormwater permit during the State's public notice comment
period. Kure Beach is dedicated to meeting the intent of the State and Federal NPDES requirements.
7.3 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination: Storm Sewer System Map — See Appendix B
7.3.1 Storm Sewer System Map — See Appendix B
9

Describe how you are going to complete a storm sewer system map of outfall locations. What
sources of information will you use? What form will the map take (digital, paper map)? What method
will you use to verify the accuracy of the locations? Will you do field verification and if so, will you
use any specific technology? How will you update the map, once data collection begins? Who will
keep the map current? Where will the map be located within the organization for the public to view
or review if desired?
The eighteen (18) stormwater ocean outfalls have been identified and mapped. Other storm sewer system
outfalls will be mapped using GIS. An independent engineering firm will be contracted to perform the field
survey and mapping services. The Director of Public Works will be responsible for keeping the GIS
database updated. Current storm sewer maps will be maintained at the Kure Beach Public Works office at
401 H. Avenue, Kure Beach, NC.
7.3.2 Regulatory Mechanism
Do you have an ordinance in place that prohibits non-stormwater from your
drainage system?
Action is pending to amend the existing stormwater ordinance to address illegal dumping or illicit
connections to the drainage system. This ordinance will define what is allowable in the storm drainage
system, describe enforcement actions, and give right of entry on to private property to inspect and/or
remove an illicit connection.
Does it also address illegal dumping or illicit connections to the drainage system? Does it define
what is allowable in the storm drainage system? Does it describe enforcement actions? Does it
give you right of entry on to private property to inspect and/or remove an illicit connection? If you
answer no to any of the above detailed questions, you need to update your ordinance and include
those pieces that are missing. This ordinance will be amended to addresses illegal dumping or illicit
connections to the drainage system, define what is allowable in the storm drainage system, describe
enforcement actions, and give right of entry on to private property to inspect and/or remove an illicit
connection.
The revised stormwater ordinance will address illegal dumping or illicit connections to the drainage system,
define what is allowable in the storm drainage system, describe enforcement actions, and give right -of -entry
on private property to inspect and/or remove an illicit connection.
7.3.3 Enforcement Actions
Describe the methodology you will use to take enforcement actions needed when you find an illicit
connection. Include the process you will follow if different from the method of adopting or amending
your current ordinance.
Illicit discharge enforcement is a four -step process consisting of:
- Inform the violator.
- Give violator time to repair or remove.
- Assess civil penalties and tines.
- Town will correct the problem and bill the offender.
10

7.3.4 Detection and Elimination
Describe the plan you are going to follow to find and eliminate illicit connections. Address spills
and illegal dumping controls as well. Include procedures for locating high priority areas in the
community; procedures for tracing the. source of an illicit connection; procedures for removing the
discharge and procedures for program evaluation and assessment.
Illicit connections will be identified through annual storm sewer system inspections. Water quality sampling
will be performed at discharge points where dry weather flows are found if an obvious source cannot be
determined through observation. Identified illicit discharges will be tracked and periodically evaluated
through the NPDES annual reporting process. Spills will be reported to appropriate local authorities and
local police and fire personnel will be trained in illicit discharge detection and spill response.
How will you find illicit connections?
Illicit connections will be identified through annual storm sewer system inspections.
How will you address spills, within your own operation and within the community?
Spills will be reported to appropriate local authorities and local police and fire personnel will be trained in
illicit discharge detection and spill response.
How will you eliminate an illicit connection or discharge?
Not Available, the ordinance will require that we notify the party responsible for the illicit discharge, with a
certain number of days. If not done in the time allowed, the party is subject to criminal fines. The Town then
goes in a will do the removal of the illicit discharge and charge the responsible party
How will you evaluate your program and make changes over time?
The Plan will be reviewed annually by the appointed stormwater committee

DRAFT
MEMORANDUM
Date: October 28, 1998
TO: All Interested Parties
FROM: Solid Waste Section
William G. Ross Jr., Secretary
RE: Guidance for Management of Painted Concrete as Inert Debris
In North Carolina, Inert Debris (concrete, brick, concrete block, uncontaminated soil,
rock and gravel) may be used as beneficial fill pursuant to 15A NCAC 13B .0562,
provided that the fill activity involves no excavation, the purpose is to improve land use
potential and that all pertinent Federal, State and Local laws, rules, regulations are
complied with.
Certification that paint on. concrete is not lead -based paint, is required prior to
management as inert debris. Lead -based Paint is defined by federal statute (Title X of

Town of Kure Beach
Stormwater Feasibility Study
PLANNER IN CHARGE SUMMARY
Background -How We Got to Where We Are
Over the past three years the Town of Kure Beach has proactively sought to
eliminate the 18 stormwater culverts that discharge regularly into the Atlantic
Ocean along their public beach front. Their concern stems not only from the
damaging, affect the non -point source pollution could have on the swimmers, but
also the long-term impact this may have on the coastal ecosystem. Clean
Beaches are what draw millions of visitors to Kure Beach and Pleasure Island for
family vacations. The prospect of unsafe, polluted beaches negatively impacts
the tourism -based economy and overall quality of life for the entire area.
Tourism and the economy are indeed directly tied to clean water... beaches
polluted by stormwater cost everyone.
With funding assistance provided by a CAMA Grant from the North Carolina
Division of Coastal Management, The Mayor and Town Commissioners of Kure
Beach conducted a grass roots study to develop a Plan of Action for the Removal
of the Stormwater Outfalls. This study, facilitated by the Care Fear Council of
Governments with technical expertise provided by the NC Shellfish Sanitation,
DOT, NCDENR-WQ, DCM, the US Army COE,'MOTSU, and Town Commissioner
James Dugan was completed in June, 2002. The net result of the study was a
plan to eliminate the drains and divert the Stormwater away from the beach into
a stormwater wetland, located in the undeveloped explosive arc buffer zone west
of Town. Whether or not that was feasible, and specifically how it could be
accomplished was the rationale for hiring T.A. Allen engineering to conduct this
Feasibility Study.
The Allen Plan
Terry Allen was already familiar with the area, having worked extensively for the
US Army Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point (MOTSU), owners of the above -
mentioned buffer area targeted for the stormwater wetlands. His firm fully tested
the previous groups hypothesis, and weighed the stormwater wetland approach
with various other best management practice (BMP) alternative storm water
solutions. It was his professional opinion that the stormwater wetland approach
was not only feasible, but also the most economical and environmentally
sensitive way to achieve a sustainable solution.
The Allen Plan calls for removal of the pipes and diversion of the stormwater to
sump basins (3-5) where it would be pumped over the island ridge into gravity

flow engineered conveyances to created stormwater wetlands (4-5acre/ea) in the
MOTSU buffer Zone. The exact number and location of the sump -pump stations,
and the location of the wetlands has yet to be determined, pending project
design. Because the pumps will likely be near residential property, he has
recommended quieter electric pumps, two at each location that would cycle to
prevent wear and tear. Similar pumps have been used in near by coastal
communities with much success. Due to these factors that will not be known
until the project Is designed, he could only offer an opinion of total project costs,
but has given a range up to 8.5 million dollars.
Technical Advisory_Gomm ttee
During the course of his engineering analysis, the technical advisory committee
used in the citizen Plan of Action Study was reconvened to give guidance and
input from their agency perspective. They met twice during the study period, and
submitted their final thoughts on the project via emalls attached as exhibits to
this summary. Their general support and enthusiasm for a long-term sustainable
solution to the problem was reflected in their comments. During the course of
the design and construction phase each of their agencies will be have permitting
oversight, but none indicated that they felt the project could not be permitted -
another key factor to determining the ultimate feasibility of the project.
MOTSU-The Real €sjMte lEsue
Perhaps the greatest obstacle for this study was to ensure that MOTSU was 'not
opposed to locating the four wetlands on their property. The Army insisted that
any encroachment onto the property required US Army Headquarters approval,
and must demonstrate impending public necessity. They also opposed any option
that would result in frequent use of the area by persons, as the intent of the
buffer zone is to establish a safety zone that mirrors the estimated explosive arc
from detonation of military explosives at MOTSU. Therefore, no people and no
structures are allowed. The constructed stormwater wetland achieved that goal,
and consequently, their willingness to consider the project. The twenty acres
needed could be leased at rate substantially below the prevailing market rate,
thus adding to the feasibility of the project.
Citizen Participation
Once the advisory committee and MOTSU completed their reviews, and the Allen
Plan was reduced to paper and drawings, the Town of Kure Beach advertised
and conducted a public hearing at their April meeting to receive input from the
community. There was one question about the impact of the project to the
existing ecosystem and several questions about who was going to pay for it. The
one was assured that every effort would be made to have minimal impact to the
ecosystem of the island and that any harm would be greatly outweighed by the
elimination of the NPS pollution currently being discharged. Funding issues were
addressed satisfactorily by the Town's stated intent to seek grant funding.

This opinion of preliminary construction cost is based on assumed material/labor
costs and quantities, and therefore is of a conditional character. This
preliminary estimate is derived from the concept design outlined in this
feasibility study. The exact requirements of the system are unknown. A more
detailed design is required before an accurate estimate can be prepared. T.E.
ALLEN ENGINEERING makes no guarantee as to the accuracy of this preliminary
estimate. This estimate does not include land acquisition costs.

CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATIONS
The Town has made great strides in addressing this major issue, knowing all
along that the costs would be far too prohibitive to do the work themselves.
However, they stayed the course and now have facilitated the development of an
excellent and proven feasible plan to eliminate the ocean outfalls and achieve a
sustainable environmentally sensitive solution to a long-term environmental
problem.
It cannot be stated to often how dependent Pleasure Island and the Cape Fear
Region is upon Tourism. We built the case early showing the direct relationship
clean water has to the areas` economic and environmental sustainability. The
study proves there is a feasible solution to this problem, and steps must be taken
to remove the outfalls now. The Town is encouraged to aggressively pursue
grant funding from every possible source to ensure clean and safe beaches, and
a robust tourism economy for future generations.
