NotesThis is the application filed by the Port of Newport with the Army Corps of Engineers for permission to alter Yaquina Bay in order to allow the NOAA Marine Operations Center for the Pacific fleet to relocate from the Seattle area to Newport. "The construction of the MOC-P includes the demolition of existing structures (in-water as wellas upland structures), pile installation, wharf and access pier construction, as well as the construction of the upland facilities, including an administrative building and warehouse. The use of steel piles will require the installation of a cathodic protection system. Dredging and excavation to provide appropriate depths for NOAA ships to berth, as well as the placement of riprap for slope stabilization is also necessary." (p.4) Includes timeline, maps, tables, architectural drawings and construction schematics.
