RE: Pre -Construction Notice (PCN) for the Martin County Airport T-Hanger Expansion
Martin County Airport, Williamston, NC
Dear Mr. Standridge,
I am pleased to submit a Nationwide Permit 39 Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) for the proposed new
Martin County Airport (MCZ) T-Hangar Expansion. The PCN is being submitted as a notification on behalf
of the Martin County Airport and the design engineers, W.K. Dickson & Co., Inc.
The Martin County is a publicly -owned, public -use airport that serves the general aviation community
and many commercial businesses that depend upon air transport. The airport currently has a waiting list
for hangar space and is in need of additional T-Hangars. To address the public need for additional hangar
space, the project includes construction of ten individual hangar bays on the north side of the existing T-
Hangar building. Access will be provided by construction of a taxilane and apron connecting to existing
taxiway infrastructure. The taxiway is under construction. Construction of the T-Hangar expansion will
provide 10 individual hangar spaces, will address the waiting list, and provide safe access to the taxiway
and runway.
This project will consist of 3 construction phases: Taxilane, Apron/parking area, and T-Hangar expansion.
The first phase will be construction of the taxilane that will provide access to the north side of a 10-unit
T-Hangar building and preparation of the building site. The second phase will be construction of an apron
that will provide locations for two (2) future 60'x60' hangars. The third phase will be construction of the
additional T-Hangars. Within the study area is a small, depressional, wetland of 0.15 acres without an
apparent surface connection to the drainage network. The wetland is mostly herbaceous with small shrubs
and saplings that are removed occasionally to prevent overgrowth of trees and to limit wildlife habitat
near the runway. The wetland is anticipated to be filled, resulting in a permanent loss of this wetland and
require compensatory mitigation. An In -Lieu Fee compensatory request has been sent to the Division of
Mitigation Services.
Please don't hesitate to contact me at 919-602-0127 ([e-mail]) or Jason Elliott, PE
(Project Manager), at 919-256-5616 [e-mail]) if you should have any questions. Please
include both of us on any email exchanges.
