Ocean Isle Beach Rock Removal Service Contract

1. Background. The 2017-18 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Coastal Storm Risk Mitigation (CSRM) project for Ocean Isle Beach resulted in unknown quantities of rock, oyster shell and clay balls within the designated beach placement area and the identified access “road” built by the Contractor. A separate contract to remove incompatible material was issued to the Contractor spring 2018 which involved digging and sifting material with 1¾” screening. Natural resource agencies authorized work to occur after 1 May (start of sea turtle nesting season) during daylight hours only after turtle monitors inspected the area for nests each morning. Visible rock was removed from the beach and accepted by the Town of OIB. Rock removal ceased 18 May.

Several weeks after initial cleanup, volunteer turtle monitors reported rock sightings through the resource agencies.

The identified area of rock and clay balls expanded as beach eroded and material was carried by wave action and currents. USACE and agencies decided to wait until the end of turtle nesting season (16 November) to initiate another contract to remove the rock.

2. Project Site Description. The project is located on the east end of Ocean Isle Beach in Brunswick County, NC.

The project area extends along approximately 5,200 linear feet (lf), beginning approximately 1,200 feet west of Shallotte Inlet and ending at the High Point Street beach access (Point A to Point B). The beach profile varies as well as the location of rocks and clay balls; some are found closer to the toe of the dunes/near existing sandbags, some are congregated along the mean high water line and some are within the swash zone and only visible during low tide.

3. Description of Services. The Contractor shall sift the top 6” of beach surface and remove material greater than 2” in diameter. To capture as much incompatible material as possible, sifting or “rock raking” should occur throughout the entire width of the beach from Point A to Point B (as identified in the attached map). This also includes the wet beach areas visible during low tide, however rock will have to be removed by hand in areas where it is too saturated for equipment to travel.

Rock and clay balls will be removed and disposed of by the contractor. Work shall occur only during daylight hours and equipment shall be staged off the beach at night, if possible. All work will have to be complete and equipment off the beach by 30 April to avoid impacts to nesting sea turtles.
