4. Project Description and History
4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application:*
Elizabeth City Regional Airport (ECG) is located southeast of Elizabeth City. The airport is served by a single 7,219-foot long by 150-foot wide runway, identified as Runway 10-28. The
airport is a joint -use facility, with the United States Coast Guard occupying the property north of Runway 10-28 and general aviation activity taking place south of Runway 10-28,
adjacent to Consolidated Road. The project site is bounded by the airfield to the north, airport hangars to the east, single family residential development and one gas station adjacent to
Consolidated Road to the south, and agricultural land adjacent to Weeksville Road to the west. The project site is a previously disturbed, mowed and maintained grass field on existing
airport property. A system of large maintained ditches form the southern and western site boundary. The ditch extends approximately 7,500 feet (1.4 miles) east to the Pasquotank
River. This drainage system is identified on USFWS National Wetland Inventory (NWI) mapping as Riverine (RSUBFx), which includes channels that are semipermanently flooded and
excavated by humans. These are the only wetlands identified within or adjacent to the project site.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?*
r Yes r No r Unknown
4d. Attach an 8 1/2 X 11 excerpt from the most recent version of the USGS topographic map indicating the location of the project site. (for DWR)

1.71 MB
4e. Attach an 8 1/2 X 11 excerpt from the most recent version of the published County NRCS Soil Survey map depicting the project site. (for DWR)

4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
366.03KB
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
1,130If (jurisdictional ditch)
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the proposed project is to provide additional hangar space for existing Airport tenants, including Elizabeth City State Universtiy (Aviation Science Program).
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
Phase 1 of the proposed project will include:
Grading of the site and addition of approximately three feet of suitable fill material
Erecting two newaircraft storage hangars, one maintenance hangar, and one office building
Construction of a service road to provide tenants with access to the new area
Paving of a parking area to provide access to the proposed hangars and apron
Widening of an existing T-hangar taxilane to allow for proper object free area clearance
Paving of a taxilane and apron for access from the new hangars to Taxiway G
• Installation of the needed electric, sewer, water, and stormwater infrastructure
The proposed Phase 1 structures and impervious surfaces include 48,560 square feet of apron, 50,540 square feet of parking area and roads, 24,000 square feet of hangar space,
and 3,035 square feet of office space. Construction of Phase 1 is anticipated to begin in late Spring 2020 and last approximately 6 months. At full build out, the newfacility would include
47,464 square feet of additional impervious surfaces, including 33,600 square feet of hangar space and 13,864 square feet of pavement (taxilane).

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
3i. Total temporary stream impacts:
15
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Gravel infiltration trench to be constructed outside of jurisdictional limits of Ur1 to dissipate storm water runoff and improve water quality.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Two water utility lines were combined into one trench excavation to minimize temporary impacts. Installation of a turbidity curtain within Ur1 around the
limits of the basin discharge pipe and overflow weir will minimize potential water quality impacts during construction.
