    The Outer Banks Voice – Contractor Begins Cape Hatteras National Seashore Oregon Inlet Marina Parking Lot Paving Project

    Umito Posted on

    Cape Hatteras National Seashore (Seashore) recently awarded a $1.7 million contract to Yorkshire Industries (New York, New York) to remove the top layer of asphalt, regrade and apply a new layer of asphalt in the approximately 195,650 square foot parking lot at Seashore’s Oregon Inlet Marina. The renovated parking lot will be raised to address flooding concerns, and the parking lot marking and drainage system will also be repaired.

    Access to boating marina charters, future air station, public boat ramps and replacement facilities, restaurant and tackle shop at the Oregon Inlet Fishing Center should not be be affected by the paving project.

    The project is expected to be completed by March 31, 2025.

    PUBLIC NOTICE

    Former Buxton Naval Facility

    Formerly used defense site

    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) will host a presentation to provide an update on ongoing response measures and present information on a restoration advisory committee. The presentation will be followed by an open house session.

    The Formerly Used Naval Facility Buxton Defense Sites (FUDS) property was used by the US Navy as a submarine monitoring station. The U.S. Coast Guard then used the property until it was returned to the National Park Service. USACE is conducting a response action to remove visible oil-contaminated soils and conduct confirmatory soil sampling in areas along the beach and dunes that have exhibited odors and sheen.

    Subsequent actions include comprehensive soil and groundwater sampling in the project area to delineate the nature and extent of oil contamination.

    USACE will hold the meeting on November 4, 2024, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Fessenden Center located at 46830 NC Highway 12, Buxton, NC 27920.
