300-foot anchor segment extending
landward from the toe of the primary
dune. The groin would also include a
120-ft-long shore-parallel T-Head
segment centered on the seaward
terminus of the main stem designed to
prevent flanking. This is expected to
have more of a stabilizing effect on the
shoreline and minimize formation of
potential offshore rip currents and sand
losses during extreme wave conditions.
The seaward section of the groin
would be constructed with loosely
placed 4- to 5-ft-diameter granite armor
stone to facilitate the movement of sand
past the structure, and would have a
crest width of ∼5 ft and a base width of
∼40 ft, while the underlying geo-textile
base layer would have a slightly greater
width of ∼45 ft. The shore anchorage
segment would be entirely buried at the
completion of groin construction and
would remain buried so long as the
position of the MHW line remains
seaward of the initial post-construction
primary dune line. The intermediate
groin would be designed to be a
relatively low-profile structure to
maximize sand overpassing and to
minimize impacts to beach recreation
and aesthetics.
The proposed terminal groin is one of
four such structures approved by the
General Assembly to be constructed in
North Carolina following passing of
Senate Bill (SB) 110. The U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE) determined
that there is sufficient information to
conclude that the project would result
in significant adverse impact on the
human environment, and has prepared
a DEIS pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to
evaluate the environmental effects of the
alternatives considering the project’s
purpose and need. The purpose and
need of the proposed Holden Beach East
End Shore Protection Project is to
provide shoreline protection that would
mitigate ongoing chronic erosion on the
eastern portion on the Town’s
oceanfront shoreline so as to preserve
the integrity of its public infrastructure,
provide protection to existing
development, and ensure the continued
public use of the oceanfront beach along
this area.
2. Issues. There are several potential
environmental and public interest
issues that are addressed in the DEIS.
Public interest issues include, but are
not limited to, the following: public
safety, aesthetics, recreation, navigation,
infrastructure, economics, and noise
pollution. Additional issues may be
identified during the public review
process. Issues initially identified as
potentially significant include:

a. Potential impacts to marine
biological resources (burial of benthic
organisms, passageway for fish and
other marine life) and Essential Fish
Habitat.
b. Potential impacts to threatened and
endangered marine mammals, reptiles,
birds, fish, and plants.
c. Potential for effects/changes to
Holden Beach, Oak Island, Lockwood
Folly inlet, and the AIWW respectively.
d. Potential impacts to navigation.
e. Potential effects on federal
navigation maintenance regimes,
including the Federal project.
f. Potential effects of shoreline
protection.
g. Potential impacts on public health
and safety.
h. Potential impacts to recreational
and commercial fishing.
i. Potential impacts to cultural
resources.
j. Potential impacts to future dredging
and nourishment activities.
3. Alternatives. Six alternatives are
being considered for the proposed
project. These alternatives, including
the No Action alternative, were further
formulated and developed during the
scoping process and are considered in
the DEIS. A summary of alternatives
under consideration are provided
below:
a. Alternative 1—No Action (Continue
Current Management Practices);
b. Alternative 2—Abandon and
Retreat;
c. Alternative 3—Beach Nourishment
Only;
d. Alternative 4—Inlet Management
and Beach Nourishment;
e. Alternative 5—Short Terminal
Groin with Beach Nourishment;
f. Alternative 6—Intermediate
Terminal Groin with Beach
Nourishment/Applicants Preferred
Alternative.
4. Scoping Process. Project Review
Team meetings were held to receive
comments and assess concerns
regarding the appropriate scope and
preparation of the DEIS. Federal, state,
and local agencies and other interested
organizations and persons participated
in these Project Review Team meetings.
The Corps will initiate consultation
with the United States Fish and Wildlife
Service pursuant to the Endangered
Species Act and the Fish and Wildlife
Coordination Act. The Corps will also
consult with the National Marine
Fisheries Service pursuant to the
Magnuson-Stevens Act and Endangered
Species Act. The Corps will coordinate
with the State Department of Cultural
Resources pursuant to Section 106 of
the National Historic Preservation Act.
Potential water quality concerns will
be addressed pursuant to Section 401 of
PO 00000
Frm 00021
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
52265
the Clean Water Act through
coordination with the North Carolina
Divisions of Coastal Management (DCM)
and Water Resources (DWR). This
coordination will ensure consistency
with the Coastal Zone Management Act
and project compliance with water
quality standards. The Corps has
coordinated closely with DCM in the
development of the DEIS to ensure the
process complies with State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA)
requirements, as well as the NEPA
requirements. The DEIS has been
designed to consolidate both NEPA and
SEPA processes to eliminate
duplications.
5. Availability of the DEIS. The DEIS
has been published and circulated. The

Abstract: The High School
Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09) is
a nationally representative, longitudinal
study of more than 20,000 9th graders
in 944 schools in 2009 who are being
followed through their secondary and
postsecondary years. The study focuses
on understanding students’ trajectories
from the beginning of high school into
postsecondary education or the
workforce and beyond. What students
decide to pursue when, why, and how
are crucial questions for HSLS:09,
especially, but not solely, in regards to
science, technology, engineering, and
math (STEM) courses, majors, and
careers. To date, HSLS:09 measured
math achievement gains in the first 3
years of high school and, like past
studies, surveyed students, their
parents, school administrators, school
counselors, and teachers. After the
initial 2009 data collection, the main
study students were re-surveyed in 2012
when most were high school 11thgraders, and again in 2013 when most
had just graduated from high school.
The second follow-up data collection
will take place in early 2016, and will
consist of a survey, postsecondary
transcript collection, financial aid
records collection, and file matching to
extant data sources. The second followup focuses on postsecondary attendance
patterns, field of study selection
processes with particular emphasis on
STEM, the postsecondary academic and
social experience, education financing,
employment history including instances
of unemployment and
underemployment, job characteristics
including income and benefits, job
values, family formation, and civic
engagement. The HSLS:09 data elements
are designed to support research that
speaks to the underlying dynamics and
education processes that influence
student achievement, growth, and
personal development over time. This
request is to conduct the HSLS:09
Second Follow-up Main Study
interviews in 2016, the transcript and
student financial aid records collections
in 2017, and panel maintenance
activities in 2018.
