such change or alteration. Such action is necessary as revised
plans must be reviewed and the authorization modified.

Project summary The applicant is proposing to construct a 150' long by 20' wide
bulkhead and pave an area adjacent to the existing barge slip
8.
Environmental settin
Texasgulf Chemicals Inc. operates a phosphate mining operation in Beaufort County.
Existing at the company's plant site on the Pamlico River is an existing barge slip
which was constructed in the mid 1960's. The slip is used for the transporting by
barge of various company products. The shorelines of the slip are stabilized by
both riprap and bulkheading. Located within the slip are various piers, dolphins,
and loading and unloading equipment.
Project,proposal
The applicant is proposing the following:
(1) To replace an existing pier with a 150' long by 20' wide steel sheetpile bulkhead.
The inside of the bulkhead will be filled with small rock materials known as rejects.
(2) To pave with asphalt an area along the western side of the slip. This area will
be + 1,150' in length by + 95' in width. The area to be paved is located between an
existing bulkhead and an existing road.
Environmental impact
The project as proposed should have a minimal impact on the environment, except for
possible pollutants entering the slip from storm water runoff across the proposed
pavement. No wetland vegetation will be excavated or filled.
