Intent To Prepare a Draft Supplement
to the December 2009 Final
Environmental Impact Statement
(FEIS) for the Relocation of New River
Inlet Ebb Tide Channel and the
Placement of the Dredge Material
Along 11.1 Miles of Ocean Shoreline of
North Topsail Beach in Onslow
County, NC
Department of the Army, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.
ACTION: Notice of intent.
AGENCY:

The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE), Wilmington
District, Wilmington Regulatory Field
Office has received a request for
Department of the Army (DA)
authorization, pursuant to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act and Section 10
of the Rivers and Harbor Act, from the
Town of North Topsail Beach to modify
their original May 27, 2011 DA
authorization to relocate the New River
Inlet ebb tide channel and to place
dredge material along 11.1 miles of
oceanfront shoreline in (5) phases over
an eight to nine year timeframe.
Additionally, the authorization permits
up to a maximum of (7) maintenance
events within the relocated ebb tide
channel, which is equivalent to a
maximum of one maintenance event
every 4 years until authorization expires
on December 31, 2041. The main
purpose of the project is to provide
short and long-term protection of the
Town’s infrastructure. The proposed
modification request includes the
consolidation of Phases II–V into one
phase (in a single dredging event), the
utilization of a hopper dredge, an
increase of beach fill density in the
original Phase V footprint, the inclusion
of an additional borrow source, and the
extension of dredging outside the
permitted dredge window.
DATES: Written comments will be
received until July 22, 2013.
ADDRESSES: Copies of comments and
questions regarding the Draft
Supplement to the FEIS may be

submitted to: U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Wilmington District,
Regulatory Division. ATTN: File
Number 205–00344 (ORM #2004–
00344), 69 Darlington Avenue,
Wilmington, NC 28403.
Questions about the proposed action
and Supplement to the EIS can be
directed to Mr. Mickey Sugg, Project
Manager, Wilmington Regulatory Field
Office, at telephone (910) 251–4811;
email mickey.t.sugg@usace.army.mil ; or
regular mail at (see ADDRESSES).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1. Proposed Action. Between
November 26, 2012 and February 9,
2013, the Town of North Topsail Beach
implemented Phase I of their
authorization, which encompassed the
relocation of the New River Inlet ebb
tide channel by use of a cutter head
dredge and the placement of the
dredged material along approximately
1.5 miles of the island’s northeast end.
Upon the completion of Phase I, the
Town has reevaluated its financial
status and seeks to modify their DA
authorization. A key component in the
modification request is to combine
Phases II–V. This would replace the
current multi-nourishment cycle within
the remaining 9.6 miles with a one-time
nourishment event constructed during a
single dredging window. The proposal
also requests that dredging be allowed
outside the November 16–March 31
dredge window to extend their
operation to April 30, and that the
dredging operation include the use of
hopper dredge plants. The Town seeks
to include a new borrow source, DA143,
which is an upland disposal island
located near the intersection of New
River and the Atlantic Intracoastal
Waterway. Historically, DA 143 has
been used by USACE as a disposal area
during maintenance dredging of nearby
federal navigation channels. It is
estimated that the disposal island
contains approximately 1.9 million
cubic yards of material, which will be
short of the approximate 2.6 million
cubic yards needed for the 9.6 miles of
ocean front nourishment. With this
short fall of beach fill, the remaining
material will be dredged from the
existing permitted off-shore borrow
source. The 2.6 million cubic yards of
material includes the Town’s
modification plans to increase the
original fill density of Phase V from 25.2
cubic yards/linear foot to a range of 57–
132 cubic yards/linear foot.
2. Scoping Process. a. The USACE
will reinitiate consultation with the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service under the
Endangered Species Act and the Fish

and Wildlife Coordination Act; with the
National Marine Fisheries Service under
the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act and
the Endangered Species Act; and with
the North Carolina State Historic
Preservation Office under the National
Historic Preservation Act. Additionally,
the USACE will coordinate the FEIS
Supplement with the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) to
assess the potential water quality
impacts pursuant to Section 401 of the
Clean Water Act, and with the North
Carolina Division of Coastal
Management (NCDCM) to determine the
projects consistency with the Coastal
Zone Management Act. The USACE will
closely work with NCDCM and NCDWQ
in the development of the Supplement
to ensure the process complies with all
State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA)
requirements. It is the intention of both
the USACE and the State of North
Carolina to consolidate the NEPA and
SEPA processes thereby eliminating
duplication.
b. A 45-day public review period will
be provided for all interested parties,
individuals, and agencies to review and
comment on the Draft Supplement to
the FEIS when released.
3. Availability of the Supplement to
the EIS. The Draft Supplement is
expected to be published and circulated
the summer of 2013.
Dated: June 12, 2013.

applications to the School Improvement
Grants program. On January 21, 2010,
the U.S. Department of Education
(Department) published final
requirements and a State educational
agency (SEA) application for the School
Improvement Grants (SIG) program
authorized under section 1003(g) of
Title I of the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as
amended, and funded through the
Department of Education
Appropriations Act, 2009, and the
American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009 (ARRA) (FY 2009). The final
requirements defined the criteria that an
SEA must use to award FY 2013 SIG
funds to local educational agencies
(LEAs). In awarding these funds, an SEA
must give priority to the LEAs with the
lowest-achieving schools that
demonstrate the greatest need for the
funds and the strongest commitment to
using the funds to provide adequate
resources to their lowest-achieving
schools that are eligible to receive
services provided through SIG funds in
order to raise substantially the
achievement of the students attending
those schools. The information
collection activities consist of: (1)
Applications for an SEA to submit to the
Department to apply for FY 2013 SIG
funds; (2) the reporting of specific
school-level data on the use of SIG
funds and specific interventions
implemented in LEAs receiving SIG
funds that the Department currently
collects through EDFacts; (3) the process
for an LEA to apply to its SEA for SIG
funds; and (4) the SEAs posting its LEAs
applications on the SEAs Web site.
