4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
Primary dune along NC 12 was severely eroded during Hurricane Dorian on Ocracoke Island, exposing the roadway of NC 12 to the ocean. Project would restore the beach to the
prestorm profile in two areas of severe erosion to protect the roadway repair activities and the installation of temporary sand bags.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The beach in the two areas of severe erosion would be restored to the pre -storm profile. The storm washed away the beach in these areas, and NCDOT proposes to restore a total of
approximately 41,443 sq. ft. of beach with approximately 2,080 yards of sand from the South Dock dredge spoil site. The beach elevation would match the elevation of the existing
adjacent beach. If the beach naturally accretes before beach restoration is complete, NCDOT would reduce or eliminate beach restoration activities.

4h. Comments:
As a result of Hurricane Dorian, MHW is currently within the area to be repaired. Approximately 0.95 acres below MHW will be filled with approximately
2,080 yards of beach quality sand from the dredge spoil site to restore the storm eroded beach.
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Beach will be restored to the pre -storm profile and limited to the storm eroded area of the roadwiay washout.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
All work will occur during daylight hours to minimize impacts to hatching sea turtles in the vicinity. Work will not be permitted within 300 feet of observed
sea turtle nests. Fill material WWI be hauled in from the South Dock dredge spoil site.
