PUBLIC HEARING LEGAL NOTICE, REQUIRED BY STATUTE:
UPDATE: Nov. 8, 2019 - NCDOT has begun debris removal for county residents (Debris removal inside Beaufort Town limits is complete)
While debris removal is complete inside Beaufort Town limits, it is just beginning for County residents. The following is a press release published by the North Carolina Department of Transportation on Nov. 8, 2019. Please follow the guidelines outlined in the release.
Hurricane Debris Removal Begins in Four Counties
UPDATE: Nov. 7, 2019 : The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission’s Beaufort Boating Access Area on Lennoxville Road is anticipated to reopen on Friday, Nov. 8. We thank everyone for their patience as renovations were completed through a partnership between the N.C. Wildlife Commission, The North Carolina Coastal Federation and the Town of Beaufort.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 12, 2019
North Carolina Coastal Federation, Town of Beaufort and N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission partnering to renovate Beaufort Boating Access Area
While the debris resulting from Dorian is considerably less than that resulting from Florence, it is still at a volume greater than the Town staff is capable of removing in a timely fashion. Consequently, the Town has activated the contract it has in place with TFR Enterprises, Inc. for storm debris removal.
Updated Sept. 24, 2019: The storm debris contractor will be finished with their collection on Wednesday 9-25-19. The town will be back to normal operations with current ordinances and schedules in place for yard debris collection starting Monday 9-30-19. Also following collection from the town on Monday, we are going to be running our street sweeper. Just a friendly reminder to keep the streets clear of debris because this eventually ends up in our stormwater drains (which can cause clogging of the lines and possible backups) then to our creeks, streams and estuaries.
Recycling’s Stronger Future
You may have heard recycling is in trouble, but it is actually changing for the better. Before 2018, China was the convenient outlet for unsorted, low value classes of recyclables that domestic markets did not accept. Last January, China restricted the amount of lower quality recyclables that the country would import. Chinese markets would no longer accept foreign bales of unprocessed plastics and mixed paper, and any processed paper and plastic bales must not exceed 0.5 percent contamination.

If Your Home Is Damaged
Move damaged property to a protected area and begin cleaning and drying items damaged by water. However, you should not dispose of any items you believe may be a complete loss until an insurance company representative has examined them. Take photographs to show the way things look before you begin cleaning and repairing, and be sure to keep receipts for all cleanup expenses.
Do not visit disaster areas, unless you are authorized to do so.
If you have flood insurance, notify your agent that you have a loss.
Tune in to radio and television for advice and instructions on where to obtain medical care and where to get assistance for such necessities as housing, clothes, food and other assistance. Outreach programs will help you cope with the stress of being flooded.
Do not enter your home if flood waters are over the first floor; you cannot tell whether the building is safe to enter.
During an emergency, it may become necessary to turn off your utilities at your home or business. Post disaster fires can be caused by damaged electrical and gas lines and appliances. Turning off the gas and electricity before a potential disaster helps to prevent damage to the structure and rescue personnel.

All week long the National Weather Service will issue informative messages to help you prepare for the hurricane season. Today’s topic is Strengthening Your Home.
If you plan to ride out the storm in your home, make sure it is in good repair and up to local hurricane building code specifications. Many of these retrofits do not cost much or take as long to do as you may think. Have the proper plywood, steel or aluminum panels to board up the windows and doors. Remember, the garage door is the most vulnerable part of the home, so it must be able to withstand the winds.

The top causes for flooding in North Carolina are severe storms, hurricanes, and tropical storms. This type of weather usually results in heavy rainfall and high coastal waters. In addition, North Carolina has 17 major river basins, which typically rise and sometimes crest after heavy rain or snow melts too quickly from the mountains.
According to the National Weather Service there are multiple types of flood hazards that impact the United States. Beaufort most frequently faces flash flooding, river flooding and Storm Surge and Coastal Inundation from Tropical and Non-Tropical Systems types of flood hazards. For a complete list and descriptions visit Flood Related Hazards on weather.gov.
Flash Flood Warning: Take Action! A Flash Flood Warning is issued when a flash flood is imminent or occurring. If you are in a flood prone area move immediately to high ground. A flash flood is a sudden violent flood that can take from minutes to hours to develop. It is even possible to experience a flash flood in areas not immediately receiving rain.

Beaufort Awarded $225,000 Grant
BEAUFORT – The Town of Beaufort is proud to announce it has been selected by the State Water Infrastructure Authority (SWIA) to receive a Pre-Construction Planning Grant.
The total grant amount is $225,000. The project is for wastewater pump station improvements.
The Board of Adjustment meeting 9.26.22 will be held in the East side of the Train Depot.
The Town of Beaufort (“Town”) is requesting Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from Qualified Professional Engineering Firms interested in performing planning and pre-engineering work aimed at a producing the basis of design for replacements of/improvements to four Town-owned sewer pump stations. Any firm wishing to be considered must be properly registered with the Office of the Secretary of State and with the North Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors.
BEAUFORT - On Saturday, Oct. 15, the Town of Beaufort, a Watch for Me NC partner, will host in conjunction with the Beaufort Lions Club a safety awareness program during the Beaufort Farmers Market. The event will take place between 9 a.m.- 1 p.m. at the market.
The Town of Beaufort executed an “Offer to Purchase and Sale Contract” on Oct. 2, 2018 whereby the Town agreed to sell its 15-acre tract located at 1809 Live Oak Street.
The agreement also committed the Town to extend water and sewer lines to the property at the Town’s expense.
Open the document below for a full update on the project, status and timeframe.
The Town of Beaufort has numerous long-term projects underway. Each of the projects is listed on this page and project status updates are attached.
The installation of a duckbill type check valve is planned for the end of the storm water main line that traverses Queen Street from its beginning at Ann until it crosses Front Street whereupon it makes several
turns before it outlets in Taylor Creek. The funds for this upgrade will be taken from the $60,000 slotted for "stormwater work" of the $1.4 million in ARPA grant funds the Town received in 2021 and 2022.
This project was completed in 2023.
A 2018 assessment of street conditions resulted in a report recommending work programs to rehabilitate and preserve Town streets. Undertaking rehabilitation of many of the deteriorating street segments was however, deemed impractical due the presence of deteriorating utility and stormwater lines beneath them. Therefore, this led to an FY 2020 project that provided for the resurfacing of only those streets in need of repair for which the underlying utilities were in good condition together with other street construction work.

Therefore, the project provides for the resurfacing of only those streets in need of repair for which the underlying utilities are in good condition plus other street construction work.
The developer of the Beau Coast residential development was issued a permit to construct and operate package wastewater treatment plant and high-rate infiltration facilities to serve the planned development
on February 8, 2008. The high-rate infiltration basin (HRIB) was designed as a single pond with a capacity of 350,000 gallons per day (gpd) to received treated effluent from the packaged wastewater treatment
Following Hurricane Florence, the Town applied for Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funding for generators for Town Hall and the Public Works Facility. The purpose for the request for generator funding was to enhance the Town's future post-event recovery efforts. The Town was advised by the NC Department of Public Safety (NC DPS) on May 11, 2021 the Town's application for funding had been approved. The project will be administered by NC DPS using Federal Emergency Management Agency's hazard mitigation assistance grant funds.
The project includes the design, bidding, construction administration and construction observation by Town staff to extended water and sewer service to the planned PruittHealth facility located at 2415
Highway 70. The construction work is to include the installation of a pressure sewer service line beneath Highway 70 via directional drilling and connection of the service line to the Town's 8-inch and 12-inch
Full replacement of sewer pump station #7 is proposed to include a submersible sewage lift station with all equipment and piping, controls, electrical service upgrades, diesel generator, site improvements and the demolition/abandonment of the existing below ground wet pit/dry pit style lift station. The replacement station may be of a higher pumping capacity. The need for such an upgrade will be examined during the design process.
Completion of this project will result in the replacement of the antiquated auto-dialer "monitoring" units at the Town's sewer pump stations with units synchronized to a cloud-based server that can monitor for a
customized set of alarm conditions, provide real-time operational status, and inventory operational data for analysis.
This project was completed in 2023.
The needs of the Public Works Division, Town Hall, and the Police Department are to be assessed. Thereafter, the space needs and site requirements for the operations of these three units is to be determined based upon the assessment findings. Conceptual facility layouts for the current day and 15-year horizon design to accommodate the predicted needs and requirements are to be prepared.
This project was completed in 2023 and presented to the Board of Commissioners.
The listing below is of potential projects being considered for commencement within a year subject to funding approval. Generally, they include those for which preliminary investigations are being made to
ascertain the technical feasibility and cost of execution the projects. The list can also include potential projects for which funding from external sources in the form of grants and/or low interest, long term loans
are being sought and without which, would result in the projects being delayed to future years.
During the latter part of FY 2020, Town staff, supported by consulting engineers, submitted preliminary engineering reports, environmental assessments, and applications to secure a combination of grants and loans from USDA Rural Development for rehabilitation and replacement of portions of the Town's aging water distribution, sewer collection, and stormwater piping systems. This effort resulted in the Town being awarded a financing package consisting of $5.5 million in grants and $18 million in low-interest, long term loans for the work.
The NC Division of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) 15A 2T Administrative Code provides municipalities and utilities a regulatory path to evaluate historical sewer flows per connection and request a reduction of
the minimum required design sewer flow rate stipulated in the code. Generally, the sewer flow reduction for municipalities is based on Residential Equivalent Units (REU) with the intent of reducing the required
The Division of Water Infrastructure awarded Pre-Construction Planning Grant funding in the amount of $225,000 to the Town on August 31, 2022. This funding was awarded subsequent to the Town's application for funding of to be used for preliminary engineering of improvements to/replacements of sewer pump station numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Each of these pump stations was constructed around the late 1960's and are operating in excess of the life normally expected for the type station.
