Preliminary Estimates of Work Available to Dredge Manteo & Additional Fleet Additional State Agencies NCDMF, NCDCM, NCWRC All Contacted NCWRC Is Only Group With Potential Need Still Awaiting Quantities to Be Provided Likely Very Small Projects With Occasional Need NCBIWA November 13, 2017 15
Preliminary Estimates of Work Available to Dredge Manteo & Additional Fleet Other Navigational Needs Within State Current Shallow Draft Dredging Split Into Three (3) Categories Shallow Draft Inlets (Beach Compatible) AIWW Crossings (Beach Compatible) Remainder of AIWW and Inland Channels (Non-beach Compatible Material) NCBIWA November 13, 2017 16
Preliminary Estimates of Work Available to Dredge Manteo & Additional Fleet Shallow Draft Inlets (Beach Compatible) NCBIWA November 13, 2017 17
Preliminary Estimates of Work Available to Dredge Manteo & Additional Fleet AIWW Crossings (Beach Compatible) NCBIWA November 13, 2017 18
Preliminary Estimates of Work Available to Dredge Manteo & Additional Fleet Remainder of AIWW & Inland Channels (Non-beach Compatible) NCBIWA November 13, 2017 19
Preliminary Estimates of Work Available to Dredge Manteo & Additional Fleet Overall Summary to Date Shallow Draft Inlets Need Is 3 3.5 Mcy/yr AIWW Crossings Need Is 300k 400k cy/yr Remainder of AIWW and Inland Channels Is 0.8 1 Mcy/yr It Would Appear That a Portion of the AIWW Crossings May Be the Best Fit For Additional Manteo Work During Dredge Window NCBIWA November 13, 2017 20
Preliminary Estimates of Work Available to Dredge Manteo & Additional Fleet Overall Summary to Date Shallow Draft Inlets Need Is 3 3.5 Mcy/yr AIWW Crossings Need Is 300k 400k cy/yr Remainder of AIWW and Inland Channels Is 0.8 1 Mcy/yr Another 1 2 Dredges Similar to Manteo Could Likely Handle Remainder of AIWW and Inland Channels Need NCBIWA November 13, 2017 21
Preliminary Estimates of Work Available to Dredge Manteo & Additional Fleet Overall Summary to Date Shallow Draft Inlets Need Is 3 3.5 Mcy/yr AIWW Crossings Need Is 300k 400k cy/yr Remainder of AIWW and Inland Channels Is 0.8 1 Mcy/yr Shallow Draft Inlets (Including Oregon Inlet) Will Likely Require Much Larger Pipelines and # Required Dependent on Current Dredge Windows (2 4 Dredges Needed VERY PRELIMINARY) NCBIWA November 13, 2017 22

Due Date for All Reports Shifted to April 1, 2018 Strategy for Reporting Change in Legislation & Plan Forward Three (3) Studies Will Have Separate Stand-alone Sections (Chapter Sections or Appendices) Combine All Three Studies Into One (1) Report Submitted to Both Committees With the Following: Literature Search of Government-Owned Dredges & Documentation of These & Dredge Manteo Costs (Initial and O&M Costs) Documentation of Current and Future Ferry, State and Other Dredging Needs NCBIWA November 13, 2017 26
Reporting Strategy (cont d) Change in Legislation & Plan Forward Determination of Additional Work that Dredge Manteo Can Complete (Under Current & Full-Use Scenarios) and Additional Fleet Needed to Make Up the Difference (Include Initial and O&M Costs) Determine Potential Funding Sources for State Fleet and Partnership Options Thru Shared Ownership Agreements Determine Costs for Private Dredge Industry to Complete the Work Above & Investigate Contracting Options to Reduce Time & Costs (Multi-Project/Multi- Year) NCBIWA November 13, 2017 27
Reporting Strategy (cont d) Complete Cost/Benefit Analysis of State-Owned vs. Private Industry Develop Draft/Final Reports Change in Legislation & Single Report Will Allow for Efficient Review and Eliminate Need to Reference Separate Reports Single Succinct Executive Summary and All Encompassing Report and Presentation Plan Forward NCBIWA November 13, 2017 28
Other Thoughts That Have Come to Light Expansion of Environmental Windows? End of April? Given the Limiting Factor of Placement Areas for Non-Beach Compatible Placement, Can the Work Crews Use Outside Environmental Window Times to Improve Dredge Placement Areas? Should the State Develop a Dredge Material Management Plan to Permit These Improvements? NCBIWA November 13, 2017 29
