Part 1 GENERAL

1.1 OVERVIEW

Located in the heart of Northeastern North Carolina, United States Coast Guard (USCG) Base Elizabeth City is comprised of 822 acres of real estate, including runways, taxiways, airport traffic control tower, roadways, and more than 100 buildings.

Base Elizabeth City provides a wide variety of mission support services to units and personnel, including general administration and personnel management, medical/dental, supply, procurement and warehousing, industrial services, facilities maintenance, computer/electronics support as well as morale and recreational services. Base Elizabeth City coordinates and provides regional mission support activities within the Fifth Coast Guard District. The Base is a regional command that provides logistics, engineering, administrative, financial, purchasing, and health care services to Coast Guard units throughout North Carolina. The Base Commander synergizes field support delivery, establishes local command unity, and integrates the technical authority of logistics and service centers, product and service lines, and local, coordinated service delivery.

Base Elizabeth City supports aviation operations for the tenant commands Air Station Elizabeth City, Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) and the HC-27J Aviation Projects Acquisition Center (APAC). The Airfield is a joint use facility that serves both civilian and military aircraft operations. Approximately 55,000 total flight operations are conducted each year and are a mix of military and civilian operations. Military operations are approximately 55% of the total and rotary wing comprise 50% of the military total.

The fixed wing aircraft assigned to Air Station Elizabeth City are HC-130J model. Depot maintenance for all fixed wing aircraft (HC-27J, HC-144, and HC-130J/H) is performed by the ALC, which conducts flight operations required by respective maintenance cycles as well as developmental testing and evaluation for various system prototypes. C-27 and HC-144 fixed wing aircraft conduct flight operations in conjunction with their respective maintenance cycles at ALC.

The Elizabeth City-Pasquotank County Airport Authority (ECPCAA) operates under a joint-use agreement and real property license with the United States Coast Guard.

The Airfield Complex consists of the active primary Runway 10-28, the closed alternate cross-wind Runway 1-19, and various associated taxiways and aprons. Runway 1-19 is currently closed to all flight operations due to its severely degraded structural and functional condition.

Runway 1-19 was designated as a primarily civilian aviation runway under the terms of a joint use agreement and real property license (circa 1995) to allow the airport authority to operate within the USCG Base Elizabeth City’s boundaries. The USCG chose to limit investment in the maintenance of runway 1-19 as it was deemed to be of marginal benefit to military flight operations. Runway 1-19 has been closed to USCG aircraft since 2008 due to its poor condition and load carrying restriction, however, it remained open to civilian (light) aircraft

SECTION 01110 Page 2 of 10 flight operations until 2015, at which time it was closed to all air traffic. Additionally, Runway 1-19 access taxiways Kilo and portions of Golf were also closed for similar reasons.

Presently, USCG Flight operations are regularly delayed, aborted or cancelled due to out of limit crosswinds on Runway 10-28. As a mitigating measure, when unfavorable wind and/or weather conditions are anticipated, the ready Air Station C-130 aircraft redeploy to another location if possible. Relocation typically adds SAR response time and incurs other additional costs. When excessive crosswinds arise unexpectedly, flight operations even for SAR missions may be forced to be suspended.

Aircraft at ALC for maintenance are not typically able to redeploy, but maintenance testing may be impacted if out of limits crosswind conditions are experienced for a prolonged period.

Aircraft delayed in arriving or departing due to crosswinds impact ALC operations negatively and disrupt normally tight maintenance schedules.

Install materials according to standard trade practice. Provide a smooth, even line of transition where patched work adjoins existing construction or new work. Patches or repairs shall match existing conditions or new adjoining work and shall provide a uniform finish and texture over the entire surface. When existing finish cannot be matched, refinish the entire surface to the nearest intersection.

1.23.10 Transitions: Make smooth and even transitions where new work abuts or aligns with existing construction. Where finished surfaces are cut such that a smooth transition with new work is not possible, terminate the existing surface along a straight line at a natural point of division and submit written recommendations to the COR on how to proceed.

The grass height shall be maintained no lower than 7-inches and no taller than 14-inches.

2.2.3 Scheduling: Schedule work to accommodate aircraft operations.
