Please give a brief project description below and include location information. *
The existing Visual Omnidirectional Range Tactical Air Navigation System (VORTAC) facility (4900 Holly Shelter Road,
Castle Hayne, North Carolina, 28429) is approximately 5.1 miles northeast of the Wilmington Airport. VORTAC is a radio -
based navigational aid for aircraft pilots consisting of a co -located VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) beacon and a tactical
air navigation system (TACAN) beacon. This project will replace the existing VORTAC with doppler VORTAC.
The existing VORTAC site and proposed VORTAC Replacement location was surveyed for the presence of waters of the
U.S. including wetlands and streams on November 21, 2019. The existing VORTAC facility and access road, that dates to
the early 1960s, is situated in a large flat schub/shrub wetland area that is frequently maintained by brush and tree cutting.
The facility is on fill material (primarily dirt and gravel) that is elevated slightly above the surrounding wetland.
Ms. Snider has been sent the project plans and the WOTUS report.
Please attach the documentation you would like to have the meeting about.
