A draft
environmental report and integrated
feasibility study for potential navigation
improvements to the Wilmington
Harbor Federal navigation channel
leading from the Atlantic Ocean to the
Port of Wilmington, North Carolina, was
prepared in 2020 by the NCSPA under
the authority granted by Section 203 of
WRDA of 1986. The study area was the
existing Wilmington Harbor federal
navigation channel that originates
offshore and extends approximately 38
miles through the Atlantic Ocean and
up the Cape Fear River to the City of
Wilmington, NC where it services the
Port of Wilmington. The existing project
provides for a channel ¥44 feet Mean
Lower Low Water (MLLW) through the
ocean bar and entrance channel,
changing to ¥42 feet (MLLW) extending
to just downstream of the Cape Fear
Memorial Bridge. The Port of
Wilmington has experienced increases
in cargo volume and in the size of
vessels calling at the port since the last
major channel improvements were
completed by the USACE under the
Wilmington Harbor Project authorized
under WRDA of 1996.
The Section 403 authorization for the
navigation project, Wilmington Harbor,
North Carolina, is conditioned upon the
resolution of comments from the review
assessment of the ASA(CW), titled
‘‘Review Assessment of Wilmington
Harbor, North Carolina Navigation
Improvement Project Integrated Section
203 Study & Environmental Report
(February 2020)’’ and dated May 17,
2020.
Resolution of comments from the May
2020 ASA(CW) review assessment and
any future Federal action related to the
conditional authorization under Section
403 of WRDA of 2020 will comply with
the requirements of NEPA (42 U.S.C.
4321 et seq.), Council on Environmental
Quality’s NEPA Implementing
Regulations (40 CFR part 1500–1508),
and USACE Procedures For
Implementing NEPA (33 CFR part 230),
and other related environmental review
requirements. The USACE will initiate a
separate environmental review process
for the federal action pursuant to the
Section 403 authorization.
