North Carolina State. Port Authority
Port of Morehead City, North Carolina
CAMA Narrative -Major Modification to Existing Permit No. 51-87
July 10, 2006
Project Summary
The proposed project is located at the Port of Morehead City in Carteret County, North
Carolina. The project consists of a new warehouse facility that will be built on currently
developed Port property and includes the construction of associated access drives and a
railroad spur to serve the warehouse. Additionally, an inclusive approach is being
prepared for the area surrounding the proposed project that addresses the demolition of
"Ophelia" storm damaged adjacent buildings along with the subsequent stabilization and
redevelopment of these areas.
Existing Conditions
The area that is addressed by the proposed project and overall plan includes
approximately 19.9 acres. It is located on the western side of the port, south of the Port
Terminal Road; see attached layout. The port is located on Bogue Sound and the.
adjacent surface water is classified as SC waters. Most of the project area consists of
existing impervious areas or is pervious areas used for cargo storage, truck queing and
parking areas.
Proposed Project
The proposed project consists of two elements. The first element is the proposed
warehouse facility. The warehouse will be approximately 177,000 square feet and will
be built on the west side of the Morehead Port, adjacent to berth 9. The warehouse will
be constructed in an area that is currently paved hardstand and serves as a
storage/laydown area. There will not'be any restrooms or other facilities that will
generate wastewater for the warehouse. The second element of the project consists. of the
demolition of several hurricane damaged buildings and storage areas. These areas will be
converted to open storage to offset the loss of the current storage areas with the
construction of the warehouse.
Summary
As a result of this project, there will not be any additional discharge points to the adjacent
surface waters. All drainage from the warehouse and other refurbished areas will use the
existing storm drainage system.

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Duke Construction, on behalf of North Carolina State Ports Authority, has requested that the attached application
beprocessed under the Express Permit Review Program.
The project site is located at 113 Arendell Road, adjacent to the Morehead City Turning Basin, in Morehead City,
Carteret County. To get to the site, take Hwy 70 east from Newport towards Beaufort. Turn right at the last stop
light before crossing the high-rise bridge heading into Beaufort. The North Carolina State Ports Authority
(NCSPA) facility will be located on the right. The lot averages 8-10 feet above mean sea level. The NCSPA
currently operates as a loading and off-loading shipping facility.
The NCSPA facility (later referred to as "The Port") is comprised of approximately 100 acres and is located in an
area of high industrial activity. Multiple commercial and U.S. Government operations use the adjacent waters
(Turning Basin and Morehead City Shipping Channel) as a means of shipping and receiving merchandise.
The Port is heavily developed with very little vegetation. Land grasses and ornamental landscaping represent what
little vegetation there is on the site.
It should be noted that impervious coverage at the site, within the 75' Area of Environmental Concern (AEC), is
currently around 100%. The Port has an existing stormwater management plan, but the proposed development has
prompted the facility to revise the stonnwater collection and treatment system. A newly designed stormwater
infiltration system has been proposed in the vicinity of the new warehouse, loading dock and rail line. The Division
of Water Quality is currently reviewing the stormwater package under the Express Stormwater Review Program.
The Carteret Land Use Plan classifies the area in the vicinity of the project area, as Developed. The waters in the
project area are classified as SC by the N.C. Division of Water Quality. They are NOT designated as a Primary
Nursery Area (PNA) by the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries, and they are CLOSED to the harvest of shellfish.
PROPOSED PROJECT
The Port is proposing to develop the property by constructing a 177,100 sq. ft. warehouse, two concrete loading
docks, rail line and stormwater collection system. Additionally, the applicant is proposing to demolish two
buildings and several concrete staging pads.
Beginning along the western side of the property, adjacent to Berth 9, the applicant proposes to install a stormwater
collection and. infiltration system. As proposed, the system will provide stormwater collection for the new
'. warehouse, loading docks, rail line and other impervious areas that are directly and indirectly associated with the
modification request.
Immediately east of the underground stormwater infiltration system, the applicant is proposing to construct a 771' x
231' warehouse. The warehouse would be constructed in an area that is currently paved and being used as a
storage/laydown area. A "heavy duty"asphalt apron (varying in width from 50'-70') would be constructed around
" the warehouse to support the commercial grade loading equipment being used to transport material in/out of the
building. Two concrete loading docks would be constructed along the eastern side of the building, one at each end.
The loading docks would provide vehicular/mechanical access to the warehouse and proposed rail line. As
proposed, the rail line (approximately 1,7701inear feet) would run from north to south and tie into the existing rail
lines that run throughout the Port.
In addition to the proposed development, the applicant is requesting approval to demolish/remove two buildings
' `i and several concrete laydown areas from the property. According to the applicant, both of the buildings were
damaged due to previous hurricanes. Because the buildings are in disrepair, the applicant proposes to demolish
them and convert the area into open storage to offset the loss of space with the construction of the proposed
warehouse.

10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The proposed warehouse, loading docks, rail line, stormwater collection system, asphalt aprons and building
demolition would disturb approximately 866,844 square feet of highground. According to the application package
and site drawings, no new work is being proposed within the 30' Coastal Shoreline Buffer. The applicant is
currently in the process of obtaining approval from the Division of Water Quality for the collection and treatment
of stormwater runoff resulting from the proposed development.
