Message From the DCCA President Bill Bowles

By now you’ve enjoyed your July 4th celebration as we move into the middle of summer. Our 4th at DeBordieu was a tremendous success. Thank you to all that made the weekend so enjoyable including the DCCA staff, DeBordieu Club staff and the Georgetown County Sheriff’s Department. It seems that for good reason, we turn our attention to our most popular asset in DeBordieu at this time of year, our beach. The 2015 beach renourishment project continues to be a success that provides a beautiful, healthy, recreational beach for everyone’s enjoyment at all tide levels. But we know that due to the non-stop forces that erode our beach, we must be vigilant in our planning for future sustainable beach renourishment. The community demonstrated its interest in our beach efforts with a great turnout for Dr. Tim Kana’s presentation on Thursday, July 14. Dr. Kana, a coastal scientist and our DeBordieu Beach consultant, explained in detail the forces that impact our beach. His description of the science and history of our beach erosion processes, including our own renourishment history, provide overwhelming evidence of the approach that we should take for a financially and environmentally feasible solution. If you were unable to attend the presentation, I hope that you will take the time to view it on the DeBordieuColony.org website. It was suggested that we provide Dr. Kana’s DeBordieu Beach Feasibility

Study to all community members. The report is also accessible on the DeBordieuColony.org website. So where do we go from here? We heard overwhelmingly in our 2014 beach renourishment vote that DeBordieu needs a long range funding plan. We consider this an “all hands on deck” endeavor that for the good of our community and property values must be resolved in the near term. The Long Range Planning Committee, along with the entire board, has been working endlessly to explore options and develop a long range funding plan that is fair and that will establish funding commitment for future beach renourishment efforts. Jim Cooper, Chair of the Long Range Planning Committee, gave an outstanding presentation of our approach to an annual funding proposal that will continue to be an ongoing process. We realize that there are obstacles to overcome but with your support we will be able to provide a plan that will be beneficial to the entire community. We intend to conduct a funding plan vote in March of 2017. In the meantime we will be communicating with you individually as well as through community webinars, conference calls, town hall meetings and of course, our Blue Heron publication. I ask that you be patient, open minded, and support the board members that are doing their best every day to deliver a plan that works for the betterment of the best beach community on the east coast.

DeBordieu Home and Garden Club starts new season

The loggerhead nesting season has been quite busy this year. [The 60 mile SCUTE area (North Inlet to N. Myrtle Beach) has not broken any records with 162 nests so far). South Carolina is having a record season with almost 6000 nests laid to date.] 2015 was a record year with 5198 nests. At DeBordieu and Hobcaw we have a total of 64 nests; our record year was 2013 with 108.

The DeBordieu Home and Garden Club kicks off its 2016-17 season with a dinner demonstrating the culinary arts of Chef Brian Hayes. Brian brings a creative and exciting culinary repertoire to DeBordieu Club. You will not want to miss this opportunity to enjoy a variety of wonderful dishes and see a demonstration of his techniques.

Volunteers have been busy as the females are still nesting and nests are beginning to hatch. Volunteers are conducting their early morning surveys and having early evening nest inventories. When a nest hatches, the S.C. DNR requires a three night wait before conducting a nest inventory. This gives all the hatchlings that are going to exit a chance to do so. At inventories, volunteers dig out the nest contents counting eggshells, unhatched eggs and any dead hatchlings. On occasion live turtles are found in the nest and put on the beach to crawl to the ocean. This is the part of hatching season everyone loves the most! It is a great chance to see these amazing reptiles first hand and witness a 200 million year old ritual. Dates, times and locations of nest inventories are posted on our website at: www.debordieuscute.org.

This event is scheduled for Thursday, September 29, 2016 at the Club with cocktails at 5:30, and dinner and the demonstration at 6 pm. Please call (843) 546-2410 for reservations.

Please remember “Lights Out for Loggerheads” is not just a bumper sticker! The message means that oceanfront nighttime lights and sea turtles do not mix. Lights disorient sea turtles. A dark beach will head them to the brightest horizon which should be the phosphorescence of the waves over the ocean. Oceanfront lighting lures them landward where they will become dehydrated, lost in vegetation and perish. On the night of July 23 we had a turtle lay a nest near Walkway #4. As she was coming off her nest she was met with a barrage of people with flashlights and cell phones flashing. It is surprising with all the publicity about “Lights Out for Loggerheads” that these events still occur. Loggerheads are federally protected and interfering with them carries a stiff fine. If you encounter a turtle emerging from the surf, crouch down and be still until she has dug her nest and begun to drop her eggs. You can then move in quietly staying behind her (but no flash photos, please). If you do this you will be rewarded with one of the most memorable experiences of your lifetime. Thank you for keeping our beach clean, clear and dark for loggerheads and for all of us who love DeBordieu. We hope to see you at a nest inventory!

We look forward to a wonderful year of home and garden events for your enjoyment and education. Our charity event will be “Candlelight Christmas Home Tour and Dinner” in December. The Home and Garden Club is open to all DeBordieu residents. Dues are $25 per household. Please make your check to DeBordieu Home & Garden Club and mail to: Nan Alexander, 3048 Luvan Blvd., Georgetown, SC 29440.

Beach Preservation Project Update: Beach Erosion Management Alternatives, CSE’s 30-yr Plan

nd Nicole Elko, the 2Ph.D. row homes will be in the surf, accompanied by overall community devaluation. Retreat is not a

recommendation of the 30-yr Plan.

Coastal Science and Engineering (CSE) has considered several Beach Erosion Management Alternatives for DeBordieu Colony Community Association (DCCA) for implementation over the next 30 years. The plan includes review of the existing erosion challenges, of prior restoration measures, and an evaluation of several long-term options with their associated costs and damage reduction benefits. As Dr. Tim Kana eloquently explained during his presentation in July, DCCA’s erosion challenges are similar to those of other beach communities and are primarily a result of historical changes to North Inlet. A large sand mass was left behind just offshore of the Hobcaw tract when North Inlet migrated to the south in the early-1900s. This “abandoned delta” is focusing wave energy along the southern portion of the island, resulting in higher erosion rates of more than ten feet per year as compared to northern DeBordieu of less than 2 feet per year. Other communities with similar challenges have slowed erosion with a combination of periodic beach nourishment and sand retaining structures (groins, in these cases). Other community examples include Garden City, Folly Beach and Hunting Island, SC. So, how should DCCA manage this chronic erosion problem? CSE considered the following alternatives: 1) Do Nothing and Abandon Property, 2) Continue Beach Nourishment, and 3) Combine Nourishment with “Sand-retaining”* Structures, such as groins. Option 1: Do Nothing and Abandon Property (“Retreat”) Coastal Science and Engineering (CSE) examined 29 oceanfront homes and 30 2nd row homes along the southern portion of DeBordieu to determine that approximately $100 million of property is at risk. If these properties are abandoned over the next 30 years, community wide property values will decrease by 5-20%, resulting in a $45 to $190 million impact on the community. Based on experience with previous projects, CSE estimates that the individual property owners here will spend about $1,000 per ft of shoreline every 5 years on emergency protection before abandoning their homes. This is a $25 million impact over the 30 year period. The minimum total economic impact to property values alone under a retreat scenario is $170 million. This figure is misleading because retreat is more complex than purchasing or abandoning the homes in the high erosion zone. DCCA cannot require a property owner to sell or move their homes, and most lots are too small for on-lot relocation. The property value is only a portion of the total cost of retreat. Also included are lost assessments, potential legal fees for not maintaining a protective beach, and the removal of all landscaping, concrete, and electric, water, & sewage/septic. Retreat could be more environmentally damaging, wrought with litigation, and more expensive than restoration. The retreat option will also send a message that DeBordieu is not an exclusive beach community committed to maintaining its most valuable asset. National media attention will focus on images of houses falling in the ocean, as was the case in Nags Head, NC prior to the 2011 restoration project (Figure 1). It will change the character of this community for the worse. CSE estimates that the first row of beach homes south of the bulkhead will be in the surf zone by 2025 accompanied by depreciation of 2nd row property values. By 2040, the first row homes will have been removed (cost undetermined) and the 2nd row homes will be in the surf, accompanied by overall community devaluation. Retreat is not a recommendation of the 30-yr Plan.

Beach Preservation Project Update Continue... CSE’s recommendation has been reviewed by Dr. George Voulgaris, USC, and I. We both concur. As such, let’s learn a little more about groins and their role in coastal management. Groins - Not Jetties Jetties are coastal structures that resemble groins, but jetties are much larger in scale and serve a different purpose. Like groins, jetties are typically built of large armor stone or capped sheet pile and are situated perpendicular to the shoreline. Unlike groins, jetties are often a mile or more long and serve a specific purpose of maintaining safe navigation at a harbor entrance. Most jetties were built 50 to 100 years ago with little to no consideration given to the adjacent beaches. Sediment was trapped on the updrift side of the inlet by (typically) the north jetty, thereby starving the downdrift beach. As a result, most jettied inlets today exhibit a classic “downdrift offset” with a wide beach on the updrift side and a severely eroded beach on the downdrift side. These downdrift impacts are neither the desired, nor the expected, outcome from today’s groin projects. Groins are much shorter in length. The groins that may be considered for DeBordieu will likely be less than 500-ft long. While the materials and configuration are similar, the intent of a groin is to slow erosion and stabilize the beach. Like jetties, groins will trap sediment on the updrift side which can result in an equal amount of downdrift erosion if not properly designed. Today, groins are permitted by coastal agencies all over the U.S. with the condition that periodic renourishment and monitoring continue after groin construction. Minimizing Downdrift Impacts Traditional vs. Modern Groin Design Minimizing Downdrift Impacts

Modern groin design involves several important features. First, groins Traditional vs. Modern Groin Design tend to follow the slope of the beach rather than sticking offshore like a tall wall.

Beach, Florida, we simply nourished the healthy beach downdrift of a new groin field. Alternatively, advance mitigation can be achieved by supplying extra sand on the updrift side of the groin, which will then be transported to the downdrift beach. This was the approach in the Folly Beach County Park project shown above. In conclusion, high erosion rates will continue along southern DeBordieu beach as a result of coastal configurations outside of your control. Coastal Science and Engineering has evaluated several options to manage this erosion challenge and recommends nourishment with groins as the engineering solution of choice. With modern design practices, the groins will reduce long-term costs and limit overall erosion.

LRP: Long-term Beach Preservation Funding Jim Cooper At the July meeting of the Board of Directors the Long Range Planning committee provided a blueprint for the long term funding of the beach preservation program. Based upon the scientific data provided by Dr. Tim Kana, PhD, who authored our beach feasibility study, and Dr. Nicole Elko, PhD, who has managed several beach projects along the east coast, it is recommended that we install low profile groins in conjunction with the sand that we will need to put on our beach. We anticipate that this project will need to be conducted in the fall of 2020 and into the winter of 2021. The recommendation that we include low profile groins in our project is based on the scientific data coming from similar projects on the east coast. This information suggests that the groins will extend the interval between sand nourishments from every 6 years when using only sand to at least 12 years when utilizing groins plus sand. This will save the community approximately $40 million over the next 30 years. The feasibility study made clear the fact that the options of doing nothing to nourish the beach, letting nature take its course, or the option of buying homes in the most erosional portion of the beach and moving or destroying them are the most expensive and least practical solutions available to us. How to best fund the project of sand plus low profile groins therefore becomes the central question.

Note the sand bypassing encouraged by the modern groin design. Both photos are of groins on Folly Beach, constructed in 1993 (l) and 2013 (r).

Pre-filling and Advance Mitigation

Based on feedback received during our last beach project the committee has proposed a 4-year partial funding plan that commits each property owner to begin to pay for this project in 2017. This plan will establish a fund to be used only for beach nourishment and will signify an ongoing commitment by this community to preserve the beach into the future. Much like the last project, the amount we owe will be determined largely by where we own property within the OCRM erosion zones, with the most threatened properties paying a larger percentage of the total when compared to properties farther from the ocean. While the final price tag for the project will not be known for several years we estimate that by 2020 when the project begins each property will owe approximately 25-30% above what we paid in 2014. This includes the installation of low profile groins and sand to fill the cells between the groins. The partial funding plan to begin in 2017 will make a down payment toward that goal.

In the past, when groins were installed without beach fill, downdrift erosion was the problematic result. In 1995, the National Academy of Sciences recommended that all groins should be pre-filled or “filled to the upper limit of its holding capacity” during construction. If a groin is built with sand “filling” the updrift side, sand bypassing will begin Finally, modern groin design often includes advance mitigation of potential downdrift impacts.
