Sandbags provide temporary protection to imminently threatened structures while their owners seek more permanent solutions, such as beach nourishment or relocation of the structure. The NC Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) never intended for sandbags to be used as a permanent protective measure. A Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) general permit is needed to use sandbags, which may protect a residence, septic system or the road right-of-way, but not gazebos, decks or similar amenities. The fee for a sandbag permit is $400. A structure may be protected only once, regardless of ownership, unless the threatened structure is located in a community that is actively pursuing a beach nourishment project, or is in an Inlet Hazard Area and in a community that is actively pursuing an inlet relocation or stabilization project.Sandbag walls may remain in place for up to two years if the protected structure is 5,000 square feet or less, or for up to five years if the structure is larger than 5,000 square feet.Sandbags also may remain in place for up to eight years –- regardless of the protected structure’s size –- if the community in which it is located is actively pursuing a beach nourishment project, or if the structure is located in an Inlet Hazard Area adjacent to an inlet for which a community is actively pursuing an inlet relocation project.Sandbags may remain in place indefinitely if they have become covered with sand and stable natural vegetation. However, if a storm exposes them, they must be removed if their time period has expired.Property owners may add sandbags to protect additional portions of a structure as they become threatened. Adding sandbags in increments does not lengthen the amount of time they may be used.Sandbags that become damaged may be repaired within their original permitted dimensions, but repairs will not extend the amount of time that sandbags may remain in place.These data are updated as needed (approximately 1-2 years).NC Divsion of Coastal Management (DCM) 400 Commerce Avenue Morehead City, NC 28557 252-808-2808 <a href='http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/cm/' rel='nofollow ugc'>https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/coastal-management</a>Contact: Ken Richardson Shoreline Management Specialist <a href='mailto:Ken.richardson@ncdenr.gov' rel='nofollow ugc'>Ken.richardson@ncdenr.gov</a> These points represent the location of temporary erosion control structures (sandbags), that can be permitted for the purpose of temporary erosion protection of imminently threatened structures.
