Reference: Exemption Determination
Hull Steel Plate Replacement USS Battleship North Carolina
Wilmington, North Carolina
S&ME Project No. 4305-14-078
Dear Ms. MacPherson:
On behalf of the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (NCDCNR) and the USS North
Carolina Battleship Memorial (the Battleship), S&ME requests you issue a formal exemption determination for
certain activities associated with the repairs of the Battleship's hull, which has suffered severe corrosion damage at
the ship's waterline by elements of nature.
From 2015 to 2018, the Battleship, under CAMA Permit 15-30, constructed a cofferdam for the purpose of
performing maintenance activities to maintain the ship under US Navy requirements to address the emergency
condition of hull failure. This situation was formerly recognized by the North Carolina General Assembly, who
granted funding of $500,000 to initiate engineer design solutions for the necessary emergency repairs. In
addition, funds were also raised by the Battleship to complete tasks specified in Permit No. 15-30, which include
the construction of the Memorial Walkway and the boat docks. Tasks specified under Permit No. 15-30 that were
not completed include the following:
• Dock Master's Office and Park Restroom
• Construction of the bulkhead
• Parking lot upgrades (raising the lot three to four feet) and installing of stormwater control systems)
• Seawall upgrades and construction
• Demolition of Existing USS NC Museum and Visitor Center
• Construction of new USS NC Museum and Visitor Center
• Removal of existing pavilion and construction of an amphitheater stage on the park lawn
• Construction of the Open -Air Pavilion
• Phase I and Phase 2 of the Eagles Island Expedition Trail
To continue with the Memorial Park's upgrade developments, the Battleship will resubmit the CAMA Major permit
application to complete the development tasks listed above, which have not changed in scope since original
permit issuance or from subsequent minor permit modifications.
