PROJECT NARRATIVE
Construct FRT Emergency Response Equipment Boat Houses
MCB Camp Lejeune, North Carolina
Construction Contract No. N40085 -12 -B -0136
The Environmental Management Division, Resource Conservative and Recovery Section
operates emergency response boats at MCB Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. These vessels are
staged at the Gottschalk Marina on the main side base area and at the Courthouse Bay Marina
area. The vessels are utilized to rapidly respond to fuel or other environmental spills that could
have impact to surface waters. Presently, the emergency response vessels are maintained in the
water. The vessels are maintained in existing slips at each of these marina complexes, exposed
to the elements. Maintenance of the vessels and the emergency response equipment has
significantly increased due to exposure to the natural elements. To reduce required maintenance
and improve responsiveness to emergencies, it is required that boat houses and boat lifts be
constructed in each of the marinas to house the emergency response vessels.
The specific proposed construction in each of the marina areas is discussed in detail below:
I. Gottschalk Marina Area
Two vessels are maintained at this site by the Environmental Management Division. A
20 foot runabout and a 30 foot boom deploying boat are staged at the Gottschalk Marina
located on the main side area of MCB Camp Lejeune to rapidly respond to spills
endangering surface waters. Gottschalk Marina is located with Wallace Creek which has
a Surface Water Classification of SB, NSW and a Stream Index of 19 -20. The
Gottschalk Marina is an established marina used by military and dependents to store
boats in the water. Additionally, rental activities for kayaks, canoes and small sailboats
are also conducted at the facility.
It is proposed that one boat house and two boat lifts be constructed in the Gottschalk
Marina area. The boat house is proposed to be located on the eastern side of the
Gottschalk Marina in the present day location of an existing railway and wood dock. It is
proposed that the existing wood dock and metal railway be removed. These are no longer
used. The new boat house, access pier, and boat lifts will be constructed in the general
footprint of the existing railway and dock to be removed.
Water depths are ample at this location to provide access for the vessels.
The wood access pier and boathouse will be constructed as a wooden structure with open
slated decking. Boat lifts will be located under the roof structure. The roof structure
covers a total area of 1,968 square feet. The dock will be constructed a minimum of 3.5
feet above the normal high water level.

II. Courthouse Bay Marina Area
The Environmental Management Division maintains a 20 foot runabout and a 30 foot
boom deploying boat at the Courthouse Bay Marina to rapidly respond to spills that could
endanger surface waters. These boats are presently maintained in the water in existing
slips at this facility.
The Courthouse Bay Marina is located with Courthouse Bay which has a Surface Water
Classification of SA, HQW and a Stream Index of 19 -36. A shellfish closure area exists
extending 150 feet along each side of the existing marina facilities. An on -site
consultation was completed with Mr. Sandy Jenkins of the Division of Marine Fisheries
to discuss the proposed construction at this facility. Mr. Jenkins confirmed that no
additional shellfish closures would be permitted at the Courthouse Bay Marina by the
proposed construction. He indicated that the proposed construction would have to be
contained within the footprint area of the existing permitted marina.
For the Courthouse Bay Marina, two boat lifts and one boat house are proposed to be
constructed. One boat lift will be uncovered and constructed in the existing Slip No. 2 to
house the 20 foot runabout vessel. A second boat lift and covered boat house will be
constructed in the present day canoe launch area adjacent to the existing boat ramp.
Finger piers will be extended from the existing dock structure to access the vessel. The
boathouse at the Courthouse Bay area will cover a total of 1,035 square feet. All piers
and walkways will be constructed a minimum 3.5 feet above the normal high water
levels.
Adequate depth exists at each of these proposed construction areas to allow the vessels to
access the lift areas.
The proposed construction does not result in the expansion of the existing shellfish
closure areas in the area of Courthouse Bay.
III. Construction Method
At each of the marinas, it is proposed that the majority of the construction of the
boathouses and access piers be made from barges. Sufficient depth exists to allow access
to the open water areas by barge for piling driving. A pile driver will be utilized to set
the timber pilings. Hand tools we be utilized to construct the timber piers and
boathouses. It is anticipated that limited access to the project will occur via the landward
side of the project. It is not anticipated that any equipment will be transported across
upland areas associated with this project. All work will be completed from barges in the
open water.
