8. PROJECT SUMMARY: Weyerhaeuser is seeking Major CAMA authorization to permanently retain
the installation of 6 PVC pilings that create an 800 foot long mooring that supports a floating
containment boom about 10 ft. from the shoreline.
FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
WEYERHAEUSER PAPER COMPANY
PAGE #2
a ---------------------------
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The project site is located on the Neuse River just
south east of the SR #1400 / NC 43 bridge at the fuel docks operated by the
Weyerhaeuser Paper Company in Craven County.
In September of 1994 the Division of Coastal Management issued Weyerhaeuser a
General Permit, #13174, that allowed the temporary installation of 8 PVC pilings int
the Neuse River pursuant to the special conditions found in General Permit 711.1900.
The series of 6 PVC pilings that where installed, act as an anchorage for the oil
containment boom. As the workplat drawing shows, the line of PVC pilings and the
associated boom follows the shoreline in a parallel fashion for about 800 feet. The
series of pilings and the associated boom are off-set from the natural shoreline and the
normal water level by some 10 feet. The floating boom is deployed around vessels at
the dock while fuel is unloaded.
The General Permit issued to Weyerhaeuser expires in March of 1995. It is a
requirement of the General Permit to remove the temporary structures associated with
the original project. Therefore, the current Major CAMA proposal submitted by
Weyerhaeuser seeks permanent authorization for the existing 6 PVC pilings that make
up the mooring apparatus for the floating oil boom. It is apparent from a careful
review of the project plans that no significant changes will be made to the existing
structure.
10. ANTICIPATED 51PACTS: The proposed project will generate a footprint of
approximately 8,000 sq. ft. on the Public Trust waters of the Neuse River. As the
workplat drawings show, the series of 6 PVC pilings in association with the floating
boom will create an alignment about 800 feet long running parallel to the shoreline at a
distance of 10 feet waterward of the normal water level. The Estuarine surface waters
in and around the project site are classified as SC.
