Introduction and quorum – Having reached a quorum, Mr. Serkin called the meeting to order at 10:03 AM. The attendees introduced themselves. 2. Changes or additions to the agenda – No changes were made to the agenda. 3. Approval of the minutes – There were no changes to the minutes. Ms. Bunch made a motion to approve the minutes. Ms. Ayers seconded the motion. The motion carried. 4. Public Comment – There was no comment from the public. 5. Vacancies and Appointments – Mr. Serkin identified current as well as upcoming seat vacancies that need to be filled. Currently, there are vacancies for both Pender and Columbus County Municipalities as well as two Brunswick County seats expiring at the beginning of 2019. Elections will be held at the January meeting to fill the seats. It was also discussed that the seats for the NCDOT Regional Traffic Engineers for Divisions 3 and 6 are underutilized and could be removed from the RTCC. Mr. Sturdivant made a motion to recommend that the RTAC modify the RTCC membership to eliminate the Traffic Engineers for Divisions 3 and 6. Ms. Sarder seconded the motion. The motion carried. 6. Wilmington Rail Realignment – Ms. Padgett, Project Coordinator for the Wilmington Rail Realignment Project, presented an update to the group. Ms. Padgett noted that as the port continues to expand, the area will continue to see a significant increase in freight traffic. One issue identified was the growing length of trains. Trains up to 10,000 feet in length are expected to be more frequent in the future and will cause significant congestion around the Wilmington Area. The project would reroute the rail away from Downtown Wilmington, crossing the river closer to the Port. Realignment is expected to reduce rail related congestion issues around Wilmington. Ms. Padgett discussed a Feasibility Study that estimated that the new rail would cost around $750 million with a 40% contingency. The project may also result in alternative uses of the existing rail corridors such as greenways or transit. 7. Prioritization 5.0 Final Division Tier Point Assignments – Mr. Serkin reviewed the proposed final Division Needs tier point assignments due by Nov. 29th. Mr. Serkin identified the projects that are likely to be funded. Ms. Ayers made a motion to recommend approval of the final Division Needs tier local input point assignments. Mr. Lloyd seconded the motion. The motion carried. 8. Title VI Plan – Mr. Serkin discussed the need for the CFRPO to adopt a Title VI Nondiscrimination Plan by December 31st. Mr. Serkin summarized the draft plan. Mr. Repp made a motion to recommend adoption of the draft Title VI Nondiscrimination Plan. Mr. Rose seconded the motion. The motion carried. 9. Public Participation Plan – Mr. Serkin discussed the need for the CFRPO to adopt an updated Public Participation Plan to meet requirements found in the Title VI Nondiscrimination Plan. Ms. Ayers made a motion to recommend adoption of the Public Participation Plan. Mr. Repp seconded the motion. The motion carried. 10. Resolution Supporting PAS-TRAN’s FTA 5310 Grant Application – Mr. Serkin discussed the request for a resolution supporting PAS-TRAN’s FTA 5310 Grant Application. Mr. Rose made a motion to recommend approval of the resolution. Mr. Henley seconded the motion. The motion carried. 11. 2019 CFRPO Meeting Schedule – Mr. Serkin presented the proposed meeting calendar for 2019.

    Environmental Assessment of the Lower Cape Fear River System, 2013

    Environmental Assessment of the Lower Cape Fear River System, 2013 By Michael A. Mallin, Matthew R. McIver and James F. Merritt August 2014 CMS Report No. 14-02 Center for Marine Science University of North Carolina Wilmington Wilmington, N.C. 28409 Executive Summary Multiparameter water sampling for the Lower Cape Fear River Program (LCFRP) has been ongoing since June 1995. Scientists from the University of North Carolina Wilmington’s (UNCW) Aquatic Ecology Laboratory perform the sampling effort. The LCFRP currently encompasses 33 water sampling stations throughout the lower Cape Fear, Black, and Northeast Cape Fear River watersheds. The LCFRP sampling program includes physical, chemical, and biological water quality measurements and analyses of the benthic and epibenthic macroinvertebrate communities, and has in the past included assessment of the fish communities. Principal conclusions of the UNCW researchers conducting these analyses are presented below, with emphasis on water quality of the period January - December 2013. The opinions expressed are those of UNCW scientists and do not necessarily reflect viewpoints of individual contributors to the Lower Cape Fear River Program. The mainstem lower Cape Fear River is a 6th order stream characterized by periodically turbid water containing moderate to high levels of inorganic nutrients. It is fed by two large 5th order blackwater rivers (the Black and Northeast Cape Fear Rivers) that have low levels of turbidity, but highly colored water with less inorganic nutrient content than the mainstem. While nutrients are reasonably high in the river channels, major algal blooms have until recently been rare because light is attenuated by water color or turbidity, and flushing is usually high (Ensign et al.

    CAPE FEAR RIVER WATERSHED: A Case Study of Carolina Bays and Ditched Streams at Risk under the Proposed WOTUS Definition The Cape Fear River. Photo by Kemp Burdette The Cape Fear River Basin is North Carolina’s largest watershed, with an area of over 9,000 square miles. Major tributaries include the Deep River, the Haw River, the Northeast Cape Fear River, the Black River, and the South River. These rivers converge to form a thirty-mile-long estuary before flowing into the Atlantic Ocean at Cape Fear.1 The Cape Fear supplies water to some of the fastest ​ growing counties in the United States;2 roughly one in five North Carolinians gets their drinking ​ water from the Cape Fear, including residents of Greensboro, Fayetteville, and Wilmington.3 ​ The Cape Fear Basin is a popular watershed for a variety of recreation activities. State parks along the river include Haw River State Park, Raven Rock State Park, and Carolina Beach State Park. The faster-flowing water of the upper basin is popular with paddlers, as are the slow meandering blackwater rivers and streams of the lower Cape Fear and estuary. Fishing is very popular; the Cape Fear supports a number of freshwater species, saltwater species, and even anadromous (migratory) species like the endangered sturgeon, striped bass, and shad. Cape Fear River Watershed: Case Study Page 2 of 8 The Cape Fear is North Carolina’s most ecologically diverse watershed; the Lower Cape Fear is notable because it is part of a biodiversity “hotspot,” recording the largest degree of biodiversity on the eastern seaboard of the United States.

Abstract This study of the economic contribution of airports to their communities includes the 72 publicly-owned airports in North Carolina, including ten which offer scheduled, commercial air service. Airports provide a vital link to regional, national, and international markets to many businesses in North Carolina. A portion of the revenues generated by these local businesses can be attributed to the provision of access to the markets they serve. The economic contribution results are presented in three categories: direct, indirect, and induced impacts. The indirect and induced impacts capture multiplier impacts.
  • FAA Runway Safety Report FY 2000

    FAA Runway Safety Report FY 2000

    FAA Runway Safety Report Runway Incursion Trends and Initiatives at Towered Airports in the United States, FY 2000 – FY 2003 August 2004 Preface THE 2004 RUNWAY SAFETY REPORT1 presents an assessment of runway safety in the United States for fiscal years FY 2000 through FY 2003. The report also highlights runway safety initiatives intended to reduce the severity, number, and rate of runway incursions. Both current progress and historical data regarding the reduction of runway incursions can be found on the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) web site (http://www.faa.gov). Effective February 8, 2004, the FAA implemented an organizational change that created an Air Traffic Organization (ATO) in addition to its Regulatory functions. Safety Services, within the ATO, has assumed the responsibilities of the former Office of Runway Safety. Therefore, this FAA Runway Safety Report, which covers a period prior to the implemen- tation of the ATO, is the last in a series of reports that exclusively presents information on runway safety. Safety performance will be an integral part of future ATO products. 1 A glossary of terms and a list of acronyms used in this report are provided in Appendix A. Federal Aviation Administration 1 Executive Summary REDUCING THE RISKS OF RUNWAY INCURSIONS AND RUNWAY COLLISIONS is a top priority of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Runway safety management is a dynamic process that involves measuring runway incursions as well as understanding the factors that contribute to runway collision risks and taking actions to reduce these risks. Runway incursion severity ratings (Categories A through D) indicate the potential for a collision or the margin of safety associated with an event.
