Project Description
GMI was contracted by Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Washington,
to conduct a wetland delineation and stream origin identification at Marine Corps Air Station
(MCAS) Cherry Point in project areas identified by MCAS Cherry Point. The site is located off
US Route 70 and Highway 101 in the town of Havelock, NC. GMI has four project areas at
MCAS Cherry Point: Area A (2,470 acre), Area B (1,597 acre), Area C (1,840 acre) and Area D
(1,434 acre), with a total acreage of 7,341 (Figure 1). GMI has identified 7 perennial stream, 6
intermittent stream, 17 perennial RPW, and 12 seasonal RPW origins, and 1 non -RPW origin in
Project Area D. These features are shown in Figures 2 through 5 and listed in Table 1.
Stream Origin Determination Methodology
Origins of intermittent and perennial streams in the project areas were located based upon
the Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins,
North Carolina Division of Water Quality ( NCDWQ 2010). NCDWQ version 4.11 stream
identification forms were filled out for each stream origin determination and are located in
Appendix A with associated photos. Where stream features were not present but USACE
jurisdiction exists RPW origins were identified using USACE guidance. Origins were labeled
with blue flags in the field and GPS points were recorded. Origins will be NCPLS surveyed after
verification by NCDWQ. Appendix B has supplemental site verification imagery including
USGS Topo Maps and the NRCS Soil Survey.
