The existing conditions in the project area include vacant land adjacent to runways and taxiways and a residential
development adjacent to the airfield on existing military land adjacent to the airfield Use in the vicinity comprises
military/aviation functions See Figures 1 and 2 Figure 3 illustrates sod types in the project area
3b
List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property
Total acreage on the base is approximately 55 000 acres However the USACE approved jurisdictional determinations
provide acreages of specific surveyed areas The two USACE Wilmington District wetland jurisdictional determinations
that are related to the proposed action have Action IDs SAW 2010 00796 (south and west portions of MCAS New River)
and SAW 2010 01797
3c
List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property
7 500 in /near Phase I several additional miles in /adjacent to Phases II and III
3d
Explain the purpose of the proposed project
The purpose of work proposed for Phase I is to serve additional personnel and equipment growth as directed by the
President and authorized by Congress and evaluated in the EIS (NAVFAC Mid Atlantic 2009) The specific purposes
are to construct facilities to accommodate aircraft maintenance storage and deploymentllanding to accommodate
personnel driving /parking their cars to /at the facility and to re locate the existing road (from lands that will accommodate
the proposed apron) to permit transit through the area and around the airfield to the ammunition facility on the west Daily
operations include avaition military exercises equipment maintenance and associated vehicular and pedestrian traffic
The purpose of work proposed for Phases II and III is (1) to affect roadway realignment to accommodate a runway
extension to the south and (2) to attain compliance with Federal Aviation Authority laws for roadway and budding
setbacks related to that extension and existing runways to the west Additional details regarding purpose and need are
discussed below in the justification section

6a
Is this a phased project?
® Yes ❑ No
6b
If yes explain
Please see 3d and 3e above The applicant is seeking to obtain permits for the entire project area including Phases 1 11
and III The applicant is not justifying exclusion of Phases II and III from this application but only requesting that
authorization be provided for Phase I as soon as wetland impacts associated with it have been determined /documented
avoided /minimized and compensated for through appropriate mitigation regardless if these issues have been resolved
for Phases II and III
The applicant respectfully requests that regulatory agencies and contractors focus on providing /obtaining authorization to
proceed with Phase I as soon as possible and when it appears that regulatory requirements for Phase I are met to then
correspond regarding regulatory requirements for Phase 11 and Phase III (perhaps concurrently) Authorizations for work
associated with construction and impacts associated with Phases II or III may be issued as modifications to the first
authorization provided for Phase I
Phases II and III are not requested for immediate authorization (1) in order to focus on (and thereby increase efficiency of
correspondence and effort) issues related to Phase I as there is a critical construction commencement deadline to be
met for Phase I even if authorizations for Phases II and III are slightly delayed (2) because Phases II and III are in
different geographic areas from Phase 1 (3) because Phases II and III not anticipated for construction until Phase I work
is completed (4) because for Phases II and III necessary field survey /engineenng data is currently unavailable or not
properly formatted for precise planning and projection of wetland impacts or avoidance /minimization and (5) work for
Phase I is not dependent on the other phases Phase I does not necessarily require work is performed for the other
phases
Other than the above no other actions are anticipated to affect wetlands in the portions of the base involved in the
Proposed Action However plans are currently being made to install another new hangar on the west side of the airfield
No details are available for that project permitting work for that project may be conducted in late 2012 or early 2013

D Impact Justification and Mitigation
1 Avoidance and Minimization
1a Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project
Please see attached sheets
1 b Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques
The most important constructed feature for limiting wetland impacts is the 500 foot long roadside retaining wall in Wetland W4
which will eliminate the need to grade from the proposed elavation of the road surface down (to the east) to wetland surface
elevation This will eliminate the need for approximately 0 6 acre of permanent wetland removal Furthermore the wall will be
constructed before road construction is implemented so that the wall will physically separate the wetland area to be left
urnmpacted from the worksite while roads and other features are being constructed During construction silt fences will be
erected between work areas and jurisdictional wetlands and streams Silt fences will be inspected weekly and maintained as
needed If dewatenng turbidity screens hay bales or other control devices will be used to ensure that the quality of water from
the discharge meets state standards All other best management practices regarding sedimentation and erosion control
methods will be implemented as specified by NCDWQ Prior to construction wetlands near work areas will be clearly marked
in the field Also a buffer area around wetlands will flagged The field supervisor will monitor contractor activities to ensure that
no equipment crosses into the wetlands

❑ Yes ® No
additional development which could impact nearby downstream water quality?
3b If you answered yes to the above submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with the
most recent DWQ policy If you answered no provide a short narrative description
The Proposed Action will result in some reasonably anticipated future development specifically additional housing to
accommodate personnel using /servicing the new aviation equipment that the Proposed Action will facilitate and a future
proposed squadron warehouse that will be constructed south of the currently proposed hanger facility However due to
new stormwater facilities and water treatment upgrades it will not likely adversely impact downstream water quality An
increase in additional troops based at MCAS New River in future years is expected Cumulative impacts to stormwater
and groundwater will be avoided with the implementation of BMPs adherence to NPDES permit requirements and North
Carolinas Coastal Stormwater Rules and guidelines established in the stormwater management plan Within the ROI
the potential for cumulative adverse impacts to wetland areas and waterways (though none are anticipated at this time)
would be mitigated through the adherence to existing USMC Federal and State policies and recommendations by
NCDENR to reduce and /or maintain point and non point sediment complying with NPDES permit limits and
requirements adopting Natural Resources Conservation Service conservation practices following guidance in the
wetland permitting process implementing Sod Erosion Control Plans and applying BMPs

the proposed project or available capacity of the subject facility
Concurrent with the Proposed Action the Courthouse Bay WTP Onslow Beach WTP Hadnot Point WTP and Holcomb
Boulevard WTP would be demolished and replaced with one new WTP with a 12 mgd capacity The new 12 mgd WTP and
the MCAS New River WTP would have sufficient capacity to support the current load (5 mgd) and increased demand
(183 360 gpd) for potable water New distribution lines along Marines Road would need to be installed to supply the Onslow
Beach and Courthouse Bay water systems Proper coordination with the NCDENR Public Water Supply Section would be
conducted as needed to obtain a Water Connection Permit

Response to Question B 3e
The proposed work for which an Individual Permit is sought is associated with the preferred
alternative evaluated in Final Environmental Impact Statement U S Marine Corps Grow the
Force at MCB Camp Leleune MCAS New River and MCAS Cherry Point North Carolina
(NAVFAC Mid Atlantic 2009) henceforth denoted as the EIS' Although the EIS covers
multiple bases and improvements the U S Marine Corps (USMC) seeks regulatory
permission /concurrence for only a portion of the projects proposed for implementation at
Marne Corps Air Station New River (MCAS New River) at this time as other related projects
are currently only conceptual in nature or have not yet received full Congressional funding
for construction Specifically the focal elements of this application are the construction and
associated wetland impacts to the east south and southwest of the existing airfield at
Marine Corps Air Station New River (MCAS New River) Furthermore permission for
projected wetland impacts in these areas is sought in three phases generally based on
project geography and anticipated order of need and construction Descriptions of the
phases are below Phase 1 has two components identified as A and B
(1) PHASE I
a Component A MAINTENANCE HANGAR PARKING STRUCTURE AND
ADJACENT MAIN AND SERVICE ROADS Work includes a four module hangar
faciliby multi level parking structure (for use by maintenance and aviation
personnel using the hangars and aircraft) airfield fencing roadways and
intersections (providing access to the hangar on its north and south providing
access to the parking structure providing north /south passage through the
east side of the base and providing access to existing roads formerly part of
the residential area that has been removed) as well as the necessary utililty
infrastructure to make a complete and usable facility (see Figure 4)
b Component B PARALLEL TAXIWAY AND AIRCRAFT PARKING
APRON This work includes a new parallel taxiway or bituminous pavement a
new apron of heat resistant concrete pavement (see Figure 4) taxiway lighting
necessary water storm electrical and telephone infrastructure to make a
complete and usable airfield area and incidental related work
(2) PHASE II SOUTHERN AIRFIELD ROAD This road will ultimately be installed
to connect the east and west parts of the airfield following installation of the runway
extension (see Figure 4) This will be constructed after the elements above
(3) PHASE III WESTERN ROAD This road on the southwest side of the airfield
will be reconfigured (see Figure 4) This is intended for construction following Phases
11 and III

The methodology to construct necessary Phase 1 elements in and immediately
adjacent to juriscitional wetland area involves the following
1 All equipment will be stored in a lay down area to the northwest of
Wetland W4 in an existing grass field and gravel lot approximately 200 away
from the limits of the jurisdictional wetlands Equipment includes the
following
o 1 Front end loader 15 CY capacity
o 1 Dozier
o 1 Backhoe loader 1 CY capacity
o 1 Grader
o 3 Dump trucks
o 1 Augercast pile truck rig
o 1 Concrete pump(1 each)
o 1 Two ton Vibratory Roller /Compactor
o 1 Paving Machine
2 Erosion control fencing and devices will be placed to isolate wetland
areas not being disturbed
3 Clear and grubbing of trees and shrubs will take place at the areas of
proposed construction
4 A new retaining wall will be laid about and built where the North /South
road crosses /impacts Wetland W4 (see Figure 5) The wall foundation will be
excavated formed and poured with concrete via pump Forms will be removed
and sods will be backfilled against the retaining wall and compacted in
appropriate lifts until reaching the level of the sub base
5 The new water line will be trenched or directional bored in the area
between the retaining wall and the building foundation
6 The new gas line will be trenched or directional bored in the area
between the retaining wall and the building foundation
7 Foundation piles for the new proposed hangar will be driven or
augured under the proposed location of the foundation
8 Foundations for the hangar will be excavated formed and poured with
reinforced concrete
9 The road sub base will be installed compacted and tested The base
material will be installed and compacted Asphaltic concrete will be placed for
the roadway surfaces

Hangar P683/P687 and Airfield Roads WAS New River
Response to Question D 1 a (Avoidance and Mimization)
Purpose and Need The USMC (U S Marine Corps) needs to be prepared to meet any potential
crisis or conflict have the speed and agility to move immediately and respond at a level that
is consistent with the type of conflict encountered and meet the challenges and
opportunities of a rapidly changing world and emerging threats To meet these needs
President Bush announced in the January 2007 State of the Union address his decision to
permanently increase USMC forces This initiative received Congressional approval and
funding and is being implemented across USMC fighting organizations The Proposed Action
is needed to support and implement the Presidents mandate and Congressional direction to
increase end strength across the USMC war fighting organizations
Specifically the proposed work for which an Individual Permit is sought is associated
with the preferred alternative evaluated in Final Environmental Impact Statement U S Marine
Corps Grow the Force at MCB Camp Lejeune MCAS New River and MCAS Cherry Point
North Carolina (NAVFAC Mid Atlantic 2009) henceforth denoted as the EIS The Preferred
Alternative (also referred to as the Proposed Action ) evaluated in the EIS will permanently
increase USMC forces by 9 900 Marine Corps and civilian personnel at MCB Camp Lejeune
MCAS New River and MCAS Cherry Point The purpose of the Proposed Action is to provide
the infrastructure to support the permanent increases at these three Installations This EIS
analyzed several action alternatives to support this permanent increase The Proposed
Action includes 1) new infrastructure construction (e g buildings roads and utility lines) 2)
demolition and /or upgrades to existing infrastructure or 3) relocating and realigning existing
units and personnel to consolidate and better support the three installation s missions The
Proposed Action evaluated in this EIS includes only required activities necessary to support
permanent personnel increases at USMC Installations in North Carolina and does not include
actions at other USMC bases Relevant portions of the EIS are hereby incorporated by
reference into this permit application
Geographic Considerations The primary purpose of the Proposed Action was to increase the
aircraft and personnel numbers in the region s USMC North Carolina bases as discussed in
the EIS The strategy employed by the USMC was to implement the additional facilities in a
logistically feasible and cost efficient manner with proper regard for minimizing adverse
environmental and social effects Due to the type of aircraft proposed for acquisition by
USMC MCAS New River was the only site that was appropriate or capable of handling the
aircraft Once this was determined NAVFAC proceeded to site the general location on the
based where the facilities could be implemented
Spatial Considerations at MCAS New River The most appropriate general location on the
base for establishing the facilities for the Proposed Action were discussed in the EIS
(NAVFAC Mid Atlantic 2009) and is incorporated by reference Due to the addition of the new
aircraft a hangar was needed to facilitate maintenance as was an apron for aircraft storage
and a parallel taxiway for deployment and return of the aircraft to the facilities Due to the
configuration of the existing runways at MCAS New River only the east side of the airfield
could accommodate the taxiway and hence that area became the proposed site and the
other features were sited on adjacent lands to make transportation of the aircraft and their
service by personnel as efficient and safe as possible

Hangar P683/P687 and Airfield Roads MCAS New River
On site Avoidance and Minimization Conceptual Plan The initial conceptual design of
Phase I facilities (Figure 6) shows that necessary impacts to wetlands were generally
avoided and where they could not be avoided they were minimized keeping the majority of
all proposed facilities to the west of the riparian wetlands that occur irregularly along the
shore of New River
On site Avoidance and Minimization Wetland Avoidance & Impact Minimization Plan The
final Phase I plan that maximizes wetland avoidance and impact minimization includes three
specific design elements /adjustments First to further minimize wetland impacts and
conserve building costs the two proposed hangars were combined into one and moved
farther to the south which resulted in the road being moved to the west so as to avoid the
need to impact Wetland W3
Second a bulkhead along the only proposed wetland impact (at Wetland W4) for Phase I will
limit direct impacts by eliminating the need for fill east of the roadway This is estimated to
decrease permanent impacts by 0 63 acre That area instead will have only a temporary
impact due to small construction equipment which will total 0 174 acre
Finally when the parking garage was cited it was not proposed for the undeveloped wetland
areas but was instead planned for construction in the area that was occupied by a residential
neighborhood The houses that were destroyed to accommodate this plan were in sum
valued at over $16 million (estimate based on 2011 sales of comparable homes dust west of
Wilmington Highway /U S 17 directly west of the base) but the applicant was able to
maximize wetland impact avoidance and minimization by this choice
In summary the final Phase I plan shows that proposed construction impacts wetlands only
when/where necessary to realign the north /south road that must encircle the airfield and to
insert fill necessary to support the cantilever posts supporting the roofs of the two proposed
hangars
Further Alternatives Analyses An alternatives analysis was carried out in order to attempt to
further avoid and minimize wetland impacts Investigated alternatives and findings are listed
below
Can the apron be positioned south of the east runway ( #01119 which runs
north /south) so that the hangar and road can be moved to the west so as not to
impact wetlands?
No Neither facilities nor apron can move to that location because a runway
extension is planned for the future Furthermore the open side of the hangar must
abut directly to the apron the two cannot be separated
2 Can the apron be decreased in size such that the hangar and road can be moved to
the west so as not to impact wetlands?
No The apron must be of adequate size to accommodate 48 MV 22 aircraft
Furthermore UFC 2 000 05N Criteria (11320 8 MAINTENANCE HANGAR OFFSET
FROM APRON) states that maintenance hangars opening to the apron shall be offset
15 2 meters (50 feet) from the apron edge For criteria for 15 2 meter (50 foot) access
pavement to the hangar see Category Code 113 40 Aircraft Access Apron

3 Can the apron be moved to the north
No There are existing structures in that location and even of those were
destroyed /relocated moving the hangar which must be located along the apron
would still involve more acreage of wetland impacts than are currently proposed
4 Can the hangar be moved to the south keeping its proposed north/south orientation
so that wetland impacts can be avoided?
No The USMC has proposed a new squadron warehouse immediately south of the
currently proposed location to accommodate equipment associated with the
Presidents Grow the Force initiative and the hangar needs to face the apron directly
as it does in its currently proposed configuration
5 Can the hangar be moved to the south and its orientation be changed to east/west so
as to avoid wetland impacts?
No The USMC has proposed a new squadron warehouse immediately south of the
currently proposed location to accommodate equipment associated with the
Presidents Grow the Force initiative and if the hangar were placed in that location it
would also interfere with the runway 01/19 extension planned for Phase II
6 Can the hangar be moved to the north?
No This would increase wetland impacts (as they would have been under the
initially proposed conceptual plan as described above) if it were moved to the
immediate north It cannot be moved farther to the north due to existing structures
that must stay in place for future use
7 Can hangar size be decreased2
No The space required (and incidental wetland impacts) for hangar(s) has already
been reduced by combining the formerly TWO proposed hangars into one facility The
size cannot undergo further reduction the proposed design is shown in attached
Exhibit 1 Note that in order to completely cover and service the aircraft the current
facility depth is required Furthermore HQMC policy is that hangars shall comply with
UFC-4 211 01N of 25 October 2004 and change 3 of 16 December 2009 Page 3 clearly
states that Type II hangars shall be 119 feet deep As for width UFC 4 211 01 N
w /Change 3 mandates Type 11 hangar dimensions Type II hangar dimensions were
derived from the MV 22 facility requirement to have three spread MV 22s and one
folded MV 22 in the hangar bay at the same time The mandated dimensions allow for
ten feet of clearance between each MV 22 t and ten feet of clearance between the MV
22 and the hangar sidewalls The dimensions of the Type II hangar were also
influenced by the HQMC requirement to build one type hangar large enough to
accommodate the three largest aircraft in the inventory MV 22 CH 53E /K and the C
130 Thus the expression universal Type 11 hangar
