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 repair the dune to protect the
roadway, install sandbags in two areas of severe erosion, and reconstruct the roadway and roadway shoulder to prestorm conditions. The sandbags are a temporary measure to
protect the roadway until a long term project has been selected to maintain traffic.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
NCDOT plans to have a contractor excavate sand from the South Dock dredge spoil site to repair the damaged primary dune to the maximum dimensions of the permit drawings. The
dimensions of the dune would be a maximum width of 50 feet and a maximum height of 10 feet. The approximate volume of sand for the entire dune repair to the maximum dimensions
would be 45,500 yards. Two sandbag structures consisting of 3 layers of sandbags with lengths of 645' and 330' would placed in the two areas of severe erosion for slope stabilization.
The sandbag structure would be 20' wide and 6' high. Sand bags would be hydraulically filled from the swash zone of the adjacent beach and would be approximately 1,000 yards in
volume. The roadway and roadway shoulder would be reconstructed and restored to prestorm conditions. American Beach Grass would be planted within 45 days of completion of dune
reconstruction. The length of the project is approx. 2.02 miles.
4j. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project.

6. Future Project Plans
6a. Is this a phased project?*
r Yes r No
Are any other NWP(s), regional general permit(s), or individual permits(s) used, or intended to be used, to authorize any part of the proposed project or related activity?
A feasibility study is under way to determine a long-term project to maintain traffic on the island, including the potential of moving the South Dock ferry terminal.

4h. Comments:
As a result of Hurricane Dorian, MHW is currently within the area to be repaired. Approximately 1.07 acres below MHW will be filled with beach quality
sand from the dredge spoil site to repair the dune. For the sandbag filling operation, approximately 1,000 yards of sand will be dredged from the
swash zone.
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Dune will be restored to the dimensions of previous repair projects, and not any larger. Roadway would remain on its existing alignment. No additional
right-of-way will be required from NPS.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
All work will be from the roadway and dune in environmentally sensitive areas and within 300 feet on the beach of viable sea turtle nests. Equipment
operations will be limited to the roadway and the areas to be repaired, and restricted from operating in areas of the beach outside the project area. All
work will occur during daylight hours. No wetlands will be impacted.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
r Yes r No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
No wetlands will be impacted by project. Proposed activities do not require mitigation.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
la. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
f Yes r No
If no, explain why:
Project is on the oceanfront.
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?*
r Yes r No
Comments:
NCDOT will follow best management practices for soil and erosion control in compliance with N.C. Sediment and Pollution Control Act and NCDOT NPDES permit.
