17. DIRECTIONS TO THE SITE
The Dare County Bombing Range is located on the Dare County peninsula. From the intersection of US 64 and US 264 in Dare County
C, travel south on US 264 approximately 10 -mi. Turn right on Navy Shell Rd. and travel 1.5 -mil, turn right on Navy Shell Rd. 2.7 -mi,
continue onto Navy Rd. 1.2-mi. The range control building is located on the north side of Navy Rd. Access to the site is restricted. Please
coordinate with Thad McDonald (757.341.0494) to arrange for a site visit.
18. Nature of Activity (Description of project, include all features)
The proposed project is a modification of the existing permit. It removes two impact areas previously permitted for construction and
proposes four new impact areas. The project proposes to construct a gravel road parallel to the existing runway target. The runway target
was constructed of aluminum mats placed atop the vegetative layer in the impact area. The new road will allow for continued maintenance
of the runway target & provide for additional target areas similar to those found in & around real airfield facilities. The project would also
create a city target (MOUT) and turnaround areas at each end of 3,500 Foot Road suitable for use with Moving Land Targets (MLTs).
MLTs are unmanned half -ton pick -up trucks that operate remotely using GPS mobile position technology to traverse a predetermined
route. During training exercises, the MLTs would traverse hardened roadways and target areas within the Navy impact area. These trucks
may be used to tow a target or may be the targets themselves. The types of aircraft, flight paths and munitions utilized in these training
exercises would be the same as those currently used in air -to- ground training exercises conducted at the Navy Range.
19. Project Purpose (Describe the reason or purpose of the project, see instructions)
The purpose of the proposed project is to enhance the long -term sustainability of the Navy Dare County Bombing Range and to improve
the quality of training that can be provided at the range. The proposed project would allow for more realistic training scenarios to include
the use of MLT's, allow for maintenance operations to be completed, enhance range personnel safety and increase Operational Range
Clearance (ORC) capabilities. The need for this action is to support and provide range capabilities for training forces ready to deploy
worldwide.
USE BLOCKS 20 -23 IF DREDGED AND /OR FILL MATERIAL IS TO BE DISCHARGED
20. Reason(s) for Discharge
Select fill will be placed in wetlands to provide a stable base and raise surface elevations above the ordinary high water mark thereby
providing a suitable surface area sufficient to allow regular vehicle traffic for training and maintenance efforts as required.
Majority of the work would be completed utilizing excavators which would work from existing roads and mats. Work would be
sequenced such that clean fill material would be brought on site and stored in the existing maintenance area. The amount of fill material
would be limited to only that amount which can be stored within the Maintenance area to be used as needed. Fill material will be placed
on geo- textile fabric within each of the proposed impact areas.
21. Type(s) of Material Being Discharged and the Amount of Each Type in Cubic Yards:
Type Type Type
Amount in Cubic Yards Amount in Cubic Yards Amount in Cubic Yards
6,213 sacrificial stone 10,000 NCDOT ABC Stn /Crushed Concret
22. Surface Area in Acres of Wetlands or Other Waters Filled (see instructions)
Acres — 4.02 -ac of select fill will be discharged into wetlands using an excavator. Work will be completed from existing roads and mats
or
Linear Feet
23. Description of Avoidance, Minimization, and Compensation (see instructions)
The U.S. Navy minimized impact footprint designs to only that required to allow for sufficient space to safely access and maintain the
targets and operate the MLT's. In addition, impacts were further minimized by removing two areas (West Laydown Area & Ammo Dump
target pad) that were previously permitted from the proposed construction plan. Together these two impact areas totaled 90,060 sgft (2.182
acres), and they will not be constructed.

24. Is Any Portion of the Work Already Complete? Q Yes F�No IF YES, DESCRIBE THE COMPLETED WORK
de from the West Laydown and Ammo dump target pad, only those portions of the project that have been previously permitted have
n or are currently under construction. No work has begun on the four new areas (Runway Maintenance Road, MLT East Turnaround,
,T West Turnaround, or MOUT) proposed for construction.

Block 18 continued:
Dec 2011 the Navy obtained a Water Quality Certification from NCDWQ (DWQ No.: 20110762) and in Feb 2012
received a permit from the USACE ( USACE Action ID: SAW 201101517) for wetland impacts associated with
improvements to the existing targets and storage areas at the range. Approved permitted wetland impact areas are
listed in the following impact table. Drawings entitled "Dare County Bombing Range Navy Impact Area
Improvements" Dated June 20, 2011 depict the permitted wetland impact areas covered under the most recent permit
as well as identify the two targets (West Laydown, Ammo Dump) that will not be constructed.

Based on changes to the training requirements, the Navy has elected to remove two of the approved impacts areas
from the areas to be constructed. The two areas that are no longer proposed to be constructed are W -9 Ammo Dump
and W -10 West Laydown impact areas together totaling 90,060 sgft (2.182 acres).

Majority of the work would be completed utilizing excavators which would work from existing roads and mats.
Work would be sequenced such that clean fill material would be brought on site and stored in the existing
maintenance area. The amount of fill material would be limited to only that amount which can be stored within the
Maintenance area to be used as needed. Fill material will be placed on geo- textile fabric within each of the proposed
impact areas.
In order to minimize construction impacts to training, work would be completed over the weekends when the range is
not in use. It is anticipated that the proposed project would require approximately 455 days of construction completed
over a 2 -year period.
Block 19 continued:
Completion of this effort would ensure the continued sustainability of range operations for use by combat capable forces
ready to deploy worldwide. The Chief of Naval Operations is directed by Title 10 U.S.C. Section 5062 to train all naval
forces for combat. The Chief of Naval Operations meets that direction, in part, by ensuring naval forces have access to
ranges and airspace where they can develop and maintain skills for wartime missions. The Dare County Bombing and
Electronic Combat Range is the backyard range for NAS Oceana. This range is used year round to train pilots and
maintain current levels of military readiness. Improving or restoring the hard surfaces on the Navy Range would enhance
the safety of grounds maintenance crew, improve range clearance efforts, and allow for the appropriate and safe storage of
range equipment and materials.
