Erosion Control Structures (1994 to 2019)

Year	Location	Description
1994	Western South Beach	Sandbag revetment located along 645 feet of the back-beach berm.
1996 (March)	Western South Beach	Sixteen (16) soft groins (geotextile tube-type structures) were constructed of geotextile material and sand fill.
2003/2004	Western South Beach	Rehabilitation of 1994 constructed sandbag revetment. Revetment lengthened by approximately 200 reel and base width increased to 40 ft and crest elevation raised to +12 ft-NGVD.
2005 (January to March)	Western South Beach	Replacement of 1996 constructed sand tube groin field. Minor changes in groin location were made in an effort to improve performance. Similarly, experimental “tapered” tubes were deployed in an attempt to better accommodate beach profile recession over time.
2009	Western South Beach	Complete rehabilitation of the sand tube groin field. Some adjustment of groin lengths, and the westward relocation of groin no. 16 were made in an attempt to refine the project design.
2011	Western South Beach	300 ft. sandbag revetment was constructed on the downdrift (western side) of the last sand tube groin in order to protect several endangered residential structures.
2013	Western South Beach	In the spring of 2013, the westernmost five (5) sand tube groins were replaced in their entirety. This work was co-funded by FEMA as part of a post-Irene damage mitigation effort. The project P. W. was BHGJS04 in accordance with FEMA declaration 4019 DR NC.
2015	Western South Beach	In the spring of 2015, construction was initiated on a single 1,300 ft. long rock terminal groin designed to complement future placement or beach fill at South Beach. At that time, the westernmost three (3) geotextile tube groins were removed in their entirety. A detailed description of the project is provided in Monitoring Report No. 15 (Olsen 2017).
2015	Bald Head Marina	The two marina entrance channel structures seaward of Row-Boot-Row originally constructed by Bald Head Island, Ltd., were modified through the addition of rock extensions.
2017	Row Boat Row	Two (2) detached breakwaters were constructed just north of the Marina Entrance. Construction details are provided in Monitoring Report No. 16 (Olsen. 2018).
2019	Western South Beach	All remaining 13 sand tube groins were removed and replaced.
