1. Introduction
This report documents the measures that have been taken by NCGTP during FY 2014
—15 (July 1, 2014 —June 30, 2015) to ensure compliance with the conditions of the
Department of Army Section 404 permit (Action ID No. SAW- 1992 - 02851) and the
North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) Section 401 Water Quality
Certification (WQC Project # 970093, WQC # 3184) issued in 1998. This report is an
addendum to the Baseline Report Documenting Compliance with the Conditions of
the Department of Army Permit Action ID No. 199202851 and Water Quality
Certification #3184 (NCGTP 2012).
The North Carolina Global TransPark (NCGTP) in Kinston, North Carolina consists of
5,775 acres of land targeted for development as an intermodal transportation
facility for supply and distribution of goods and services to commercial, agricultural,
industrial, and military clients. Currently the focus of the NCGTP is on development
within the 2,533 acres owned by NCGTP and specifically 876 acres surrounding the
11,500 foot runway.
2. Wetland Impacts
The Section 404 permit issued in 1998 authorized a total of 870.9 acres of impacts to
wetlands; 106.4 acres of riverine (riparian) wetlands and 764.5 acres of inter - stream
(nonriparian) wetlands within the 5,775 acre permit area. As stated in Special
Condition 1 of the Section 404 permit, authorization was issued in two parts: Area A
for which the NCGTP provided detailed specific plans, and Area B for which the
NCGTP has provided preliminary or conceptual plans. Wetlands designated as Area
A wetlands total 76.4 acres (42.5 acres riparian and 33.9 acres non - riparian).
Wetlands designated as Area B wetlands total 794.5 acres (63.9 acres riparian and
730.6 acres non - riparian). The NCGTP maintains a ledger that documents authorized
wetland impacts and is updated with each authorized wetland impact. As of June 30,
2015 a total of 130.9 acres of impacts have occurred leaving a balance of 739.93
acres of authorized impact (Table 1).
2.1 Area A Permit Activities
No impacts to Area A wetlands were requested or authorized during FY 2014 —
15. Remaining authorized impacts to Area A wetlands total 41.3 acres (19.8
acres riparian and 21.5 acres non - riparian).
3
2.2 Area B Permit Activities
No impacts to Area B wetlands were requested or authorized during FY 2014 —
15.
3. Permit Modifications
No permit modifications were approved during the period. Discussions were held
with the USACE on 27 June 2014 concerning the potential for modifying the permit
boundary to include 158 acres of NCGTP owned property north of the current
permit boundary adjacent to NC 58 (Parcel 5). The Authority officially requested
that the USACE include Parcel 5 in the permit area in a letter dated 31 July 2014.
The USACE response dated 13 January 2015 provided guidance concerning the
actions that may be needed before this request could be approved. The NCGTP is
evaluating the USACE response and the potential for continuing to pursue this
request.
4. Compensatory Mitigation
There have been no changes to 4,566 acres of wetlands and riparian areas the
NCGTP has successfully restored, enhanced, and preserved at three different
locations within the Lower Neuse River Basin (HUC 03020202). The NCGTP began
implementation of the mitigation plan and its key components in 1998 and
completed the major components of the mitigation plan in 2009.
These sites are:
• Dover Bay, a 3100 -acre area on Carolina Bay located near Dover in
Craven County;
• Stonyton Creek Conservation Area (SCCA), a 366 -acre site located within
the NCGTP permit boundary along a 2.6 -mile reach of Stonyton Creek;
and
• Frog Hollow, 1100 acres of Neuse River floodplain wetlands and bluffs in
Craven County.
5. Compliance with Neuse River Basin — Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management
Strategy
Development within the NCGTP permit boundary must comply with the Neuse River
Basin — Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy, specifically rules 15A NCAC
2B.0233 and 2B.0235. As described below the NCGTP has taken actions to comply
with these rules and will continue to implement policies and procedures to ensure
compliance with these rules. The NCGTP approved a revision to its Exclusive
Development Ordinance on March 23, 2011 to include the Stormwater Control and
Watercourse Buffer Ordinance. This ordinance incorporates restrictions on
development within protected riparian buffers that are consistent with 15A NCAC 2B
4
.0233 and requires on -site stormwater controls to reduce nitrogen export and peak
runoff as required by 15A NCAC 213.0235.
5.1 Protection and Maintenance of Riparian Buffers
No impacts to riparian buffers were requested or authorized during FY 2014 —
15.
5.2 Stormwater Requirements
5.2.1 Nutrient Loading
No new development or re- development occurred within the NCGTP permit
area during FY 2014 —15. The Total Nitrogen Export from the NCGTP permit
area is 2.48 Ibs /acre /year (Table 2).
5.2.2 Peak Flows
No new development or re- development occurred within the NCGTP permit
area during FY 2014 —15. Therefore, there was no change in peak flow.
6. NPDES Stormwater Permit
As required under NPDES Permit Number NCS000516, a Stormwater Management
Plan (SWMP) has been developed and implemented by the NCGTP. No additional
development or activities have occurred during FY 2014 —15. The Year 4 Annual
Compliance Evaluation Report documenting the actions taken by the NCGTP to
implement its Stormwater Management Plan and comply with the permit was
submitted to the NC Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources on June 1,
2015.
7. Historic Preservation Plan (HPP)
No development or re- development that would have impacted historic resources
occurred within the NCGTP permit area during FY 2014 —15.
8. Environmental Programs Access
Information on NCGTP environmental programs can be viewed on the NCGTP
Website at http: / /www.ncgtp.com /about /environment.html.
