PAGE #2
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: Aviation Fuel Terminal Inc. owns approx 50 acres of
land on Radio Island, adjacent to the Newport River, between the Towns' of Morehead
City and Beaufort, Carteret County. The applicant leases approximately 5 acres to
Texasgulf for the storage of sulphur products. There are presently 3 piers located on
the property and all provide access to the Newport River. Texasgulf also leases 2 of
these piers. One of the piers is known as the "ship dock" and is approx 345' long x
10.5' wide. A 6' wide walkway allows workers to gain access to the end of the pier
while the remaining width is used to support pipes. An approx 30' long x 20' wide
platform is located at the waterward end of the pier. An enclosed structure, approx
12.5' long x 5' wide is located within the footprint of the 6' wide walkway approx 50'
landward of the platform. This structure is used as a watch station for the workers
while the loading and unloading of ships are being undertaken. The second pier is
known as the "barge dock" and is approx 165' long x 10.5' wide and has a platform on
the waterward end measuring approx 25' long x 15' wide. Like the ship's dock, there
is a 6' wide walkway which provides access to the end of the dock while the remaining
width is used to support pipelines. Located on the platform is an another enclosed
structure measuring approx 6' long x 6' wide which is also used as a watch station.
Located on each side of the barge dock are breasting dolphins which measure approx
14' long x 12' wide.
The applicant is proposing to replace the 2 existing wood and steel piers with new ones
constructed of concrete. The 2 piers would be in the same alignment as the existing
ones, however, the footprint would be greater. The ship dock would be approx 345'
long x 15' wide with a platform at the end measuring approx 35' long x 25' wide.
The watch station would be removed from its position over the walkway and is
proposed to be placed immediately adjacent to the pier. This would require the pier
structure to be approx 20' feet wide at that location. The barge dock would measure
approx 165' long x 15' wide and would have at its waterward end a platform
measuring 30' long x 20' wide. The watch station (approx 6' x 6' in size) would
remain on the platform. The 2 breasting dolphins would be replaced in the same
footprint.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The applicant proposes to replace the 2 existing piers
with new ones. The piers would be basically replaced within the same footprint except
the width of the perpendicular piers would be increased by approx 4.5' and the
platforms would be increased by 5' in both width and length. The width expansion
would be towards the land and would not result in the structures being any further
waterward than their present locations. The larger watch station on the ship
pier would be relocated to the side of the pier. This would require the pier structure to
be 20' wide at that location. The watch station on the barge pier would remain on the
platform and maintain its current size. The 2 breasting dolphins would be replaced
within the same footprint. The construction of the of the new piers and platforms
would result in a footprint coverage of approx 9561 sq. ft. of area over Public Trust
and Estuarine Waters. This would result in approx 2900 sq. ft. of additional footprint
coverage than the area presently occupied by the existing piers.

Texasgulf for the storage of sulphur products. There are presently 3 piers located on
the property and all provide access to the Newport River. Texasgulf also leases 2 of
these piers. One of the piers is known as the "ship dock" and is approx 345' long x
10.5' wide. A 6' wide walkway allows workers to gain access to the end of the pier
while the remaining width is used to support pipes. An approx 30' long x 20' wide
platform is located at the waterward end of the pier. An enclosed structure, approx
12.5' long x 5' wide is located within the footprint of the 6' wide walkway approx 50'
landward of the platform. This structure is used as a watch station for the workers
while the loading and unloading of ships are being undertaken. The second pier is
known as the "barge dock" and is approx 165' long x 10.5' wide and has a platform on
the waterward end measuring approx 25' long x 15' wide. Like the ship's dock, there
is a 6' wide walkway which provides access to the end of the dock while the remaining
width is used to support pipelines. Located on the platform is an another enclosed
structure measuring approx 6' long x 6' wide which is also used as a watch station.
Located on each side of the barge dock are breasting dolphins which measure approx
14' long x 12' wide.
The applicant is proposing to replace the 2 existing wood and steel piers with new ones
constructed of concrete. The 2 piers would be in the same alignment as the existing
ones, however, the footprint would be greater. The ship dock would be approx 345'
long x 15' wide with a platform at the end measuring approx 35' long x 25' wide.
The watch station would be removed from its position over the walkway and is
proposed to be placed immediately adjacent to the pier. This would require the pier
structure to be approx 20' feet wide at that location. The barge dock would measure
approx 165' long x 15' wide and would have at its waterward end a platform
measuring 30' long x 20' wide. The watch station (approx 6' x 6' in size) would
remain on the platform. The 2 breasting dolphins would be replaced in the same
footprint.
10. ANTICIPATED UAPACTS: The applicant proposes to replace the 2 existing piers
with new ones. The piers would be basically replaced within the same footprint except
the width of the perpendicular piers would be increased by approx 4.5' and the
platforms would be increased by 5' in both width and length. The width expansion
would be towards the land and would not result in the structures being any further
waterward than their present locations. The larger watch station on the ship
pier would be relocated to the side of the pier. This would require the pier structure to
be 20' wide at that location. The watch station on the barge pier would remain on the
platform and maintain its current size. The 2 breasting dolphins would be replaced
within the same footprint. The construction of the of the new piers and platforms
would result in a footprint coverage of approx 9561 sq. ft. of area over Public Trust
and Estuarine Waters. This would result in approx 2900 sq. ft. of additional footprint
coverage than the area presently occupied by the existing piers.
