  • Oregon Inlet Opened in 1846 As Water Rushed from the Sound to the Ocean
    Oregon Inlet opened in 1846, when a big hurricane along the Outer Banks caused water to rush from the sound to the ocean. Since that time, the inlet has migrated steadily south at a rate of around 100 feet per year. A good measure of the inlet’s journey is the Bodie Island Lighthouse, which once stood at the margin of the inlet but is now 3 miles away. In 1962, the Bonner Bridge replaced the ferry that shuttled people and cars across Oregon Inlet. Construction of the bridge, with its high fixed-span, instantly stopped the long history if inlet migration. But sand continued to pour into the inlet from the north, the driving force behind the inlet’s southerly migration, creating ever-expanding navigation and dredging problems. After 40 years, the Bonner Bridge is rapidly deteriorating and two possible replacement alternatives are being evaluated: A bridge immediately parallel to the current bridge and a 17 mile-long bridge that would extend into Pamlico Sound, run along the backside of Pea Island and connect to Hatters Island at Rodanthe. The initial cost of constructing the Pamlico Sound Bridge is much higher than that of the Parallel Bridge. But the overall long-term costs of a Parallel Bridge greatly exceed those of the Pamlico Sound Bridge. This is because the Parallel Bridge requires the continued protection and maintenance of State Highway 12 on Pea Island. Over time, as the shoreline erodes back in response to a rising sea level, the cost of stabilizing Pea Island will become higher. Construction impacts to wetlands and sea grass beds are essentially the same for each bridge.

  • Long Bridge-Cost Effective 2
    Bonner Bridge Replacement Long Bridge is More Cost Effective Background For two decades, North Carolina and the people of Dare County have struggled with the need to repair or replace the Bonner Bridge and maintain NC-12 to provide a safer, more reliable hurricane evacuation route. Bonner Bridge has reached the end of its life and short-term repairs are becoming prohibitively expensive. NC-12 is built on one of the most rapidly eroding shorelines in the United States and up to $1 million a year or more is needed to clear the road after storm overwash. Due to the dynamic nature of this barrier island system, the ocean will continue to claim more of the island, and storms will continue to create overwashes, making NC-12 impassable. A long-term, cost-effective solution is needed to provide reliable transportation. Cost Analysis Clearly Points to Long Bridge There are two solutions for fixing this problem: Bonner Bridge Cost Analysis 1) Replace the Bonner Bridge with a parallel bridge and then continue to fix NC-12 as $1,200 needed (“short bridge alternative”); or 2) Build $1,000 a 17-mile bridge over Pamlico Sound, bypassing s r a l Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge and letting l $800 o d the island return to its natural state (“long f o $600 s bridge alternative”). n o i l l i $400 The short bridge alternative would require M replacing Bonner Bridge at an estimated $191 $200 million. However, due to frequent overwashes $0 on NC-12 and erosion, extensive maintenance Short Bridge Short Bridge Long Bridge would be required to keep the road open to alternative, NCDOT alternative, NCDOT alternative traffic.

    AN INVENTORY OF THE NATURAL AREAS OF DARE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA Bruce A. Sorrie Inventory Biologist North Carolina Natural Heritage Program Office of Land and Water Stewardship Department of Environment and Natural Resources Raleigh, NC Funding provided by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Trust Fund July 2014 Cover photograph: Buxton Woods, Maritime Shrub Swamp (Dogwood Subtype) taken by Bruce A. Sorrie. AN INVENTORY OF THE NATURAL AREAS OF DARE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA Bruce A. Sorrie Inventory Biologist North Carolina Natural Heritage Program Office of Land and Water Stewardship Department of Environment and Natural Resources Raleigh, NC Funding provided by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Trust Fund July 2014 ABSTRACT This inventory of the natural areas, biological communities, and rare species of Dare County was funded by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Trust Fund. The inventory identifies the most significant natural areas in the county, describes their features, and documents all natural communities and rare species of plants and animals associated with them. Habitat conditions, natural processes, and threats are also described. The inventory is intended to provide guidance for land use decisions by county, state, and federal governments, conservation and land management organizations, and interested citizens. Field work was carried out by Bruce A. Sorrie of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program during 2012 and 2013. The inventory identifies 34 areas of outstanding ecological significance as determined by criteria established by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many individuals and agencies contributed to the planning, progress, and completion of this inventory. Jame Amoroso, Misty Buchanan, John Finnegan, Harry LeGrand, Janine Nicholson, and Linda Rudd reviewed the draft report and maps and assisted in the production of the final copy.

Overton1 1) North Carolina State University Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering Campus Box 7908, Raleigh, NC 27695-7908 [email protected] 2) Dewberry 2610 Wycliff Road, Suite 410, Raleigh, NC 27607 ea Island is an approximately 13-mile stretch of primarily undeveloped barrier Pisland along the North Carolina Outer Banks, extending from Oregon Inlet south to the town of Rodanthe (Figure 1). While named as an “island,” this region now exists as the northern tip of Hatteras Island, with the shoreline adjacent to the inlet stabilized by a terminal groin built in 1989-1991. It is home to the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge, es- tablished in 1938. The Cape Hatteras National Seashore, established in 1953, is co-located within the refuge boundaries on Pea Island and extends further north and south along the Outer Banks. There is limited infrastructure on Pea Island, consisting of a visitor’s center and other facilities associated with the wildlife refuge, as well as the coastal highway NC 12. NC 12 is the only north-south roadway connecting the Outer Banks with mainland North Carolina; it serves as the only terrestrial evacuation route for the 4,300 residents of Hat- teras Island and all visitors to the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and local communities. According to the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau (2016), the Seashore had a total of 2,266,579 visitors during the year 2014.
